My Guardian Angel Chapter 1: Vanessa, a star wars: the clone wars fanfic

Beth: I made my own song fic its just up on the twin's account because I don't have a fan fiction yet. =) I couldn't decide on either Butterfly Fly Away or Airplanes so I used both! And two different animes/cartoons to boot! So I hope you all enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own either songs or their artists, BeyBlade or Star Wars the Clone Wars. They belong to their original owners. If they were mine they wouldn't be as good. Haha. And Cody would have a girl already! And Domino squad wouldn't have lost members! Grrrrr.

Ha before I completely go on a rant hurry and enjoy!

"Tell me about what happened December 25th, 2013."

She knew that date well.

December 25th, 2013.

It didn't have much of a meaning to her anymore. That day was long gone and done. She just wanted to forget about it.

She sighed and ran a hand threw her ginger hair stalling. Gathering her thoughts.

"Vanessa."

A warning tone.

Inwardly she groaned. They all knew what has gone on! Why must they bring this day up again and again? For the love of all things evil why must they tear open old scars? Sometimes the past is best in well the past. Then she began to sing softly,

You tuck me in
Turn out the light
kept me safe and sound at night
little girls depend on things like that

"What the fuck is she doing?"

"Vanessa!"

"Answer the question girl!"

She tuned them out.

Brush my teeth and combed my hair
had to drive me everywhere
you were always there when I looked back

People kept talking to her in millions of different languages but she didn't really pay attention or give a flying rats ass. She closed her violet eyes a small smile on her face. Then after a few more lines she opened her eyes.

"December 25th 2013."

All talking ceased. The assorted high ranking people stopped and looked at her.

"I was walking alone. Not going anywhere certain just wandering around. I was posing as a human although my mission was entirely different."

She chuckled softly.

"My mission was to protect the human Tala Ivanov. The Separatists needed to use him for something. The cause is still undetermined. I was-" She paused searching for the right word. "-compromised during the mission and now that the Seps know who I was then I was forbidden to do any field work for the remainder of the mission."

"You of course went rouge and did field work anyway. Is that correct?"

Long pause.

"Vanessa."

Another warning tone.

Quietly. "Yes."

"What? Please speak up for all to hear."

"I said yes."

Murmuring and the sounds of notes being taken were heard but Vanessa kept her head down and looked at the floor. She sang a few bars of a song she knew since she was a youngling. General Shakti* had taught it to her.

You had to do it all alone
Make a living, make a home
Must have been as hard as it could be

And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scare things wouldn't turn out right
you would hold my hand and sing to me

"Miss Vanessa!"

"Sorry? What?"

She heard sighing.

"What happened after you went rouge?"

A pause. Vanessa took a deep breath before going on with her tale.

"I fell in love." She said softly her eyes glazing over.

Flashback…

She turned and looked behind her. She cussed for a few seconds making people look at her. All she knew was that she had to get far away from those demons. Her life, mission, and grade were riding on her succeeding on her final test! She looked behind her again. They were closer. She cussed and put on a burst of speed. Her ginger hair was flying out behind her and she hardly dressed like a young woman. More like a hoe that was new to these parts. Ducking into an ally she hid behind a dumpster and tried to calm her racing heart.

She had to wear brown contacts to hide the abnormality of her violet eyes. Of course back when humans were a fairly new race there were different eye colors until the human race had doomed itself to only a few colors instead of the millions it was used to.

Vanessa shook her head to clear herself of the memories. 'Now isn't the time to dream!' she scolded herself.

Slowly leaving the ally she checked to see if the coast was clear. By then the sky had grown inky black and the lights were coming on. She could hardly see the stars. Vanessa quickly left the ally and started running down the opposite direction. Of course she could fly but that would tip of the hounds and demons and she really wasn't up for another life or death chase. At least not right now.

Slowing down after she had run about twenty blocks Vanessa sat on a bench to rest and to catch her breath. Her throat was on fire it was so dry. Looking around at her new surroundings Vanessa spotted a vending machine. Perfect! She dug her hands into her pocket and came up empty. Cussing in frustration she noticed a park not far off.

'Maybe they have a fountain!' she thought.

Her hopes soared.

After resting for a few more minutes Vanessa got up and wearily wandered over. She bent over and took a long drink. She didn't notice the red headed man come up from behind.

'Hey save some for the fish.'

Vanessa quickly shot up and whirled around eyes wide. The man held up his hands palm up in a form of surrender.

'Hey cool it.'

'You know it isn't very nice to sneak up on people!' She grumped and folded her arms over her chest.

"I'm sorry." He paused. "I'm Tala. You are?'

Vanessa mentally rolled her eyes. Of course she knew who he was! He was her charge! She swallowed her comments and forced a smile.

'Vanessa.'

He waited for a last name.

'Just Vanessa.'

He nodded. Vanessa moved out of his way and continued on her way singing a song she had heard this morning,

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now

She didn't know what those words meant but she liked how they sounded.

Yeah
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin and smashin and crashin
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you're staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back

She wandered down a jogging path and couldn't help herself but look back. He turned and stared at her. She turned back facing forward blushing from her roots and all over her face.

Oh for the love of Eris what was wrong with her?

She never really paid attention to guys. She wasn't a lesbian it's just that her studies were more important to her than sharing that "special" moment with that "special" someone.

Vanessa sighed and continued until she came to a small gazebo in the park. Two butterflies wrestled back and forth through the air. First right then left then up then down. Kinda like a little dance. She smoothed her tight jean skirt and sat down on the railing of the gazebo and watched the butterflies.

Flap your wing now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true
Butterfly Fly Away
We been waiting for this day
All along and know just what to do
Butterfly,
Butterfly,
Butterfly,
Butterfly Fly Away

Vanessa watched a bit sadly as the two flew away.

She smiled just a faint one and gazed up at the moon. When was the last time she had a chance to enjoy herself like this?

Certainly not when she first started the academy.

Maybe on breaks? No busy with the family.

She sighed again. Sometimes the life of a Guardian Angel was hard. Hopping off the railing she wandered back down the way she came. Her charge was gone but she soon found him practicing her blading a way down the street.

With his shirt off.

Vanessa quickly ducked behind a tree her face flamed and breath uneven. She peeked back around again then back behind the tree.

'Damn boy!' she thought. "He is fine!"

She took and deep breath and hid herself deep in the woods that surrounded the park. She climbed from branch to branch of a large tree until she was at the top. She stopped and closed her eyes as she felt the moon's ray wash over her in its comforting embrace. While she had closed her eyes she let nature take its course and let herself be transformed into her true self. When she opened her eyes again Vanessa was an angel. But not just any angel. A Guardian angel. The highest type of Angel there was besides Kira the Angle Queen.

She had on a short white skirt with a top that barely covered her breasts and it was a halter with small diamonds on it. On her feet she wore gold flats that wrapped up her leg to her thighs.

It was her wings however commanded most of the attention. They were pure white and like all Guardians they seemed to shimmer in the moon light. Grinning Vanessa jumped off the tree and let her wings guide her to her charge.

Stopping in front of him her head cocked to one side Vanessa smiled. Tala's expression was dumbstruck. She giggled and leaned in. Quickly she kissed him on the forehead then lips.

'May the Mother Moon and her children and the Goddesses Selene, Nyx, Eris, and Sarlett protect you from danger.' She murmured in her own language.

She heard hounds in the distance. Sighing Vanessa smiled at him then turned and took a running leap before using her powerful wings to get her high in the sky.

'I will protect you my love!' she vowed

I will!

End flashback…

"VANESSA!"

She was startled back to reality.

"Sorry what?"

"What happened after you knew you loved him?"

Vanessa paused thinking.

"I frantically tried to undo whatever the Seps were doing to him." She said softly eyes seeing nothing. "I knew there was good in him. Kindness too. All I had to do was get to it but of course someone tipped off my superiors and when they found out that I had revealed myself to my charge and blessed him to boot I was immediately failed and taken off the mission."

"And after?"

"But that's just how the story unfolds…" she smiled remembering. She giggled.

Flashback…

She danced around the square trying to earn a couple bucks by rapping BoB's part in Airplanes. She was quite good at it too.

But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that then Ill switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night

She finished the part and bowed as people filled her hat with money. She was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday.

A tight short jean skirt with black fishnet stockings and a top that stopped just under her boobs. Her bellybutton ring was shown for all to see.

Sure she looked like a hoe but that was the idea. Whoever pays close attention to a slut? Well some people did but hey it was her cover, her legend, and she was sticking to it.

Firmly.

Collecting her hat she went a ways over to a bench and counted her earnings. She snuggled deeper into her oversized gray sweatshirt. It was cozy and surprisingly warm. She rubbed her ankle through her black three inch heeled bacl leather boots.

'You know I thought hoes only did guys not show biz.'

Startled Vanessa stood up and whirled around to face non other than Tala.

'You really need to stop doing that.'

'Doing what?'

'Startling me.'

He said nothing. Vanessa stood up smiled at him and walked away. She knew there were other operatives watching her making sure she didn't interact with her failed charge. But hey they could tattle tale all they wanted. He came to her. She smiled at the thought.

End flashback…

While the council above her were whispering Vanessa sung a few more bars of her childhood song,

Caterpillar in the tree, how you wonder who you'll be
can't go far but you can always dream
Wish you may and wish you might
don't you worry hold on tight.
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly Fly Away
Butterfly Fly Away

"Why did he come to you?"

"Pardon?"

"Why did your failed charge come to you?"

She thought for a moment.

"I don't know."

"I see."

She sighed and twirled a strand of her hair around her finger looking up at all the council members. She was currently in the Senate right in the middle for all to see.

To discuss the case from a life time ago.

To rip at her heart.

To kill her slowly.

It was worse than any torture method.

She didn't know the way of males and why her failed charge picked her when the square was filled with far prettier girls. Just like males didn't know shit about females she didn't know shit about males.

Vanessa rubbed her temples trying to get rid of the head ache that was coming.

Or was it heart ache?

She didn't know anymore. They blended together now a days.

Singing to herself she let her mind wander,

It was an old Earth song that she still had stuck in her head. She muttered a quick prayer and wished on the first star she saw every night but since it was day time she doubted it would be out but hell it couldn't hurt to try.

'Please to whoever is listening grant my wish. Keep my blessing strong and protect him from harm in Heaven.'

The Senate quit talking and her questioner, Chancellor Palpatine, turned back to her.

"You loved him but did he love you?"

She thought for a moment.

"Vanessa."

Again with the fucking warning tone!

Is that all he is good for? As soon as she thought that Vanessa knew he was capable of so much more. She knew what he was going to do in the future and she hated him for it.

No she loathed it.

Forcing her brothers to kill the people they were close to. She shuddered forgetting the Senate.

She fought to keep her emotions under control. Vanessa calmly looked up into the face of a killer and spoke,

"I'm not sure if he loved me like I did him but while I was protecting him I figured out what the Sep Boris and his goons were doing to Tala and his team and I knew I had to stop it." She paused. "I had gotten close enough to figure out what was happening and report it."

"And did you report it?"

"No."

"And why not?"

"I was pulled off the case." She answered calmly. "Once we are pulled off a case we are forbidden to speak of it any more. Angel Code."

There were angry hisses and gasps from the Senators.

"That is the way of my people."

"Do you know what happened? Why they died?"

"Yes I know what happened and why they died."

"Then tell us girl!" The chancellor commanded.

"Pulled off the case." She reminded him slightly amused.

More angry titters and such. She smiled faintly.

"Besides they are dead and it won't do you any good brooding on the subject." Vanessa told the Senators.

All hell broke loose then.

"This could have been prevented!"

"Force the angles to tell us!"

"Where is Boris now!"

"Why were we not informed?"

"Who was behind the experiment!"

"Banish and murder the traitor angels!"

Vanessa sat there quietly while she waited for order to be restored. She got a bit angry when she heard the last comment.

Rude!

She noticed several Jedi here and there all along the doors and such. After order was restored they all looked at her again.

"Who was behind the experiments?"

Vanessa smiled slightly.

"Do you really want to know ladies and gentlemen?"

"Yes."

"You already know who it is Chancellor."

He looked baffled. Vanessa smiled.

"Chancellor." Came a new voice.

It was Jedi General Shakti. She was smiling faintly.

"If I may interrupt but I must leave and resume my position on Kamino with my apprentice." She said lightly.

The Chancellor was taken aback.

"Oh of course." He turned to Vanessa.

"You may leave."

He was about to say something else when a messenger burst into the Senate. He gasped for breath and when he finally found the words they weren't good words,

"Generals Anakin and Obi-Wan are stranded on Geonosis and are in need of help!"

Instantly the Senate took action Vanessa and her tale forgotten. The ginger haired girl shook her head and rolled her eyes. Typical. She headed outside with General Shakti.

There she saw a young Tortuga girl. Younger than her standing with Master Yoda waiting for something or someone. Hell at age three hundred plus Vanessa was older than almost everyone here! Master Yoda was the exception.

Vanessa instantly knew who and what she was. And what she would become. She walked over and placed a hand on the girls shoulder. The confused youngling looked up at her.

"You will be a great Padawan to General Skywalker and in time you will find your soul mate. Your own man in armor."

With that she left with General Shakti. The girl was confused but over time she eventually understood what the strange red head was talking about. On the ship home they both her silent.

Flashback…

Vanessa knelt on the grave said a small prayer and placed the flowers on all their graves. She bit back tears. If only she hadn't been taken off her charge! Then maybe they would have been still alive.

Still breathing.

Still here.

She got up off her knees and dusted her knees off of snow.

The date?

December 25th 2019.

Location?

Graveyard, Russia, Earth.

Why?

To pay her respects to a great blader and his team mates. It wasn't their fault that the damned Sep Boris made them this way and injected them with a deadly drug that could and would be released at a random time. Unfortunately it had to have been when Boris himself was killed. She shook her head sadly.

'I'm sorry I failed you Tala, Kai, Bryan, Spencer, Ian.'

The wind snatched her words and blew them north. She may have been his guardian angel for only a short time but she managed to dig underneath that hard shell of his and reach the softie under it.

End flashback…

Gently shaking her shoulder General Shakti woke Vanessa up and they exited the ship. They said a few words then parted to their own rooms.

Vanessa changed into her night clothes. A pair of soft shorts and a spaghetti strapped shirt. She climbed into bed and opened her window looking up at the moon.

Vanessa was a Child of the Moon yet she was exiled here for her failed charge. She let a few tears fall before wiping them away. Just as she was about to close her window she saw a shooting star.

Vanessa smiled to herself and made a wish.

'May the Mother Moon and her children and the Goddesses Selene, Nyx, Eris, and Sarlett protect me from danger and may them bless me and keep me strong as I take on a new charge and pass my finials.'

She muttered and let the wind snatch it away and carry it to the Heavens. Still smiling she closed her eyes and fell asleep exhausted from her day in the Senate. Vanessa sang softly as she drifted off to sleep,

Beth: Haha yeah I know this probably doesn't make much sense and it was COMPLETELY different then what I had originally gone with but I kinda like this. Don't you? I had planned on adding more but I think this will do. I'm planning on adding another on just like this but so far I haven't got it done yet. Hopefully the next one will make much sense. The Angel Queens name is pronounce Key-ra. Kira.

I'm sorry if Tala seems a bit out of character.

R&R people! It makes me feel so special!

*I have no Idea how her name is spelled that's just how I heard it on the Season three premiere.

(Shhh-ack-tee) Shakti.
