Author's Notes:

Hello everyone! As promised, here is the first chapter to my story!

Before I continue, however, I must announce something; I will have to change my publishing schedule.

I will become much busier in the next couple of days as I will be returning to university. That, and I want to make this series the best it can possibly be.

As I was writing future chapters for this series, I realized it would be much harder to do this as I would have to rely even more on canon material from both series, making it all the more difficult to write and edit. I will also have to eventually write some battle scenes, which I have rarely done in the short stories I wrote before doing this series.

In other words, I decided I will be posting a new chapter every Sunday from now on. This will allow me to focus my priorities on my own life outside of writing, while also allowing me to make this series as good as the original Star Wars movies. I hope all my readers understand.

In other news, however, I have received a lot of positive feedback from you guys! I'm also proud to say that the prologue of this series currently has lots of views, which I (and my mom) are very proud of.

Well, that's all I really have to say. Enjoy this new chapter!

"I still think it was aliens!" Ruby commented cheerfully as her team crossed the bridge leading to Beacon.

"Just shut up Ruby," Weiss mumbled, too tired to further criticize her obnoxious leader. She didn't even care about what had happened anymore. All that this 'adventure' of theirs accomplished was less beauty sleep.

Ruby stared at the heiress for a moment, but quickly returned her attention to the possibility that there was an alien among them.

"Maybe its a worm that can control people's brains like a parasite! Or an alien that has awesome weapons! Or even-"

The young huntress in training suddenly felt a dark aura nearby. She turned towards the source and unsurprisingly saw Weiss' trademark angry face.

"Shut. up."

Ruby wistfully decided to do as her white-haired teammate commanded and looked over at her other two team members.

Yang had her head up in the clouds thinking about the cute bad boys she might have met in detention. She giggled with excitement at the thought of it.

Blake continued reading the book she had wanted to finish. Ozpin did get them out of trouble once again, so there was nothing to be worried about. She was disappointed, however, that they didn't have enough time to look around the site to find out what had caused the explosion, and possibly determine if it was the White Fang's doing.

The two Professors quietly discussed their observations, making sure they were not overheard by the students walking behind them.

"The footprints we saw earlier were likely not from any of the four girls," Ozpin stated. "They were far too large to have been made by them, meaning that they were made by someone else."

Professor Goodwitch pondered on Ozpin's assumption, arriving at another deduction while browsing her scroll.

"Our records show that all school staff and students were inside Beacon at the time of the explosion, and our defenses did not report any unusual activity. This intruder certainly knows what they are doing, and to think that they are within school grounds." The blonde professor shivered at that last thought.

"Indeed. The explosion itself did not even leave any trace of dust, meaning that the intruder likely used black market materials to create the explosive." It wasn't until Ozpin considered this that he realized something. "But if someone were to go through all that trouble, why would they detonate it in the middle of the forest?"

Not even Goodwitch had a proper answer to the headmaster's inquiry. She cleared her throat before speaking again.

"Whatever the case may be, we must have our staff on full alert for the intruder and another potential attack."

"I certainly agree," Ozpin replied. "But until then, we must make sure that the students are unaware of this. It would be dreadful for both the students and the upcoming Vytal Festival if word of this intruder were to spread."

The two nodded in agreement, walking in silence for a moment until the silver-haired hunter chuckled at what he had just thought.

"I'm even starting to consider what Ms. Rose believes. It does seem logical that-"

"Don't be ridiculous, professor!"

Goodwitch suddenly realized how loudly she had said that. She turned her head to find each of the girls behind her staring at her in light shock. She quickly looked down and continued walking next to Ozpin, pretending as if nothing had happened. When the blonde huntress continued her discussion, she made sure to speak in a softer tone.

"We have not even properly examined the site. It is preposterous to jump to such conclusions based off limited evidence and the absurd opinion of a-"

It wasn't until she turned to look at Professor Ozpin that she realized he was not paying attention. Instead, he was examining the land surrounding Beacon, seemingly lost in his thoughts.

"Professor Ozpin, this is no time to be day-dreaming!"

The silver-haired hunter re-adjusted his glasses and returned his attention to the blonde huntress.

"My apologies, Professor Goodwitch. You were saying?"

Karek thought that the silver-haired man had noticed him. The young Jedi had made sure not to follow the group too closely, but he would had to be more careful in order to stay undetected.

He moved behind one of the walls surrounding the castle, waiting until the group he followed made their way inside to proceed any further. This also gave him time to rest and search the new environment. The large building behind the young Jedi reminded him of the Jedi temple, but instead it was surrounded by vast nature instead of an endless sea of space ports and sky-scrapers. He wondered about what the purpose of the castle was. It could be a training facility, the entrance to an underground society, or even the dwelling of royalty. He quickly dismissed those last thoughts after realizing how ridiculous they sounded.

After watching the group enter the castle, Karek noticed a nearby body of water which surrounded the castle. He suddenly felt how dehydrated he was, and the pool which reflected the moonlight looked enticing, as if it was calling out to him to come to it and quench his thirst. Karek sensed for anyone nearby, finding no one to be around, and swiftly made his way to the pool. Karek bent down to scoop the water in his hands, feeling his body's energy return to him with every drink he took.

It was until after the young Jedi had satisfied his thirst that he noticed his reflection. He was a complete mess. His short, brown hair was greasy, his green eyes were tired and bloodshot, and his right cheek now had a noticeable scar from the crash, which he hoped would heal and disappear overtime. His black Jedi uniform and robe were also torn in various places, but he could easily repair them if he found the right materials.

The young Jedi looked up in shock when he heard the sound of the castle doors open. Two men in matching armor left the castle and made their way towards him. Karek returned to the place he had previously hid, hovering his hand over his light saber in case of an attack. However, the two men did not notice him as they made their way across the bridge, chatting among themselves instead of being wary of trespassers

With a sigh of relief, Karek determined that it was best to stay where he was and continue his search in the morning. It was his best chance of finding out more about the system he was on and gather the supplies he needed. Of course, he did not intend to steal anything, for that was against the Jedi way. He would instead... borrow.

After mentally recording his plans for tomorrow, he sat down with his back to the wall and decided to take the moment to meditate. The young Jedi cleared his mind to connect with the Force and everything around him, relaxing his body and slowing his breathing as he did so. Perhaps he had become too relaxed, as Karek found himself drifting into a deep sleep.

The six had finally made their way back to Team RWBY's room, much to the four girl's satisfaction. They were about to enter their room until Professor Ozpin cleared his throat.

"It would be best if you all kept silent about what you have seen tonight," the headmaster addressed the four girls. "And do not try to return to the site again."

Team RWBY nodded their heads in silence, making sure to avoid eye contact with the blonde professor who was giving them a death glare.

"Now all of you get some sleep. Good night."

After the two professors dismissed the team, the girls made their way back into their room, but for some reason they felt a cool breeze coming from the room. They suddenly remembered that they had used their bed sheets to create a rope leading out their window to get to the crash site, and groaned as they thought about how much sleep they would miss because of this.

"I still can't believe we actually did that," Weiss complained to herself after finally getting her bed together. "It was totally not worth it."

"Oh come on Weiss!" Ruby attempted to cheer the heiress up. "It, like, totally was! We got to see that huge crater in the middle of the forest that was caused by ali-"

"Say that word one more time! See what happens!" The huntress in training threatened Ruby with her sword, Myrtenaster, to which the young of the two quickly surrendered and retreated back to her bed. The heiress was growing tired of her leader's nonsense, especially this talk about...'extraterrestrials'.

"Watch that attitude, Princess!" Yang stepped in to defend her sister, who was on the verge of tears. "We were all just as curious about what happened out there, whether we thought it was aliens, or cute alien boys, or whatever!"

Blake closed her book and joined the discussion. "I agree with Yang. You have no reason to be angry at Ruby this time. Even though she is our team leader and came up with the idea, we all agreed to do it with her. Besides, Ozpin did get us out of trouble again."

The heiress was about to refute this, but instead gave a moan of disgust as she retreated into her sheets. Yang and Blake exchanged looks and shrugs, deciding it was useless to discuss the matter any further. As the blonde boxer turned off the lights and the two made their way back to their beds, the team leader looked at each of her teammates in pride for what they had all accomplished tonight.

"Good night team," Ruby whispered. Before she closed her eyes, she turned her head to look out at the night sky. "Good night Mr. Alien!"

"I warned you!" screamed Weiss as she grabbed Myrtenaster and lunged at a terrified Ruby.

An endless sea of white soldiers marched through the Jedi temple, slaughtering everyone young and old within. Karek fought fearlessly alongside his fellow Jedi, even when he saw many of them collapse in front of him. It wasn't until he saw that man, whose very presence made him feel cold, hopeless and afraid.

The man with those horrible, yellow eyes...

The young Jedi awoke from his nightmare to the sound of bells ringing from the castle. He clutched his chest with both hands, trying his best to slow his breathing and calm his mind. That was the first time he had ever dreamt about that night, even though he tried his best not to remind himself of it. He thought he felt something trickle down his left cheek, but wiped it before he thought about what it was.

Karek lifted his head to find that it was morning, meaning that it was time to set his plans into motion. He took a peak from behind the wall to examine the castle again, realizing that the courtyard was far more lively that he expected it would be. Dozens of people his age were dressed in matching uniforms, which looked extremely odd to the young Jedi, and there were far more guards placed around the entrance. Even with his training, it would be impossible to get into the castle unnoticed. He would have to find another way in.

Before Karek could think of another plan, he was startled by a loud, female voice coming from a holographic projector in the center of the courtyard. It was the blonde woman he had seen last night in the forest.

"Good morning students of Beacon Academy."

'Beacon Academy?' Karek thought to himself. 'And how is it even possible that they speak my language?'

"As you all know, the Vytal Festival will be starting in a couple of weeks, and students from other kingdoms will be arriving shortly to stay here at Beacon until the tournament ends. Represent your school and the kingdom of Vale well by making Beacon a welcoming environment for these students, and by training diligently for the upcoming tournament. That will be all."

The announcement ended, leaving much information for the young Jedi to process. First, the inhabitants on this sector conveniently spoke the same language as Karek. Although this should be impossible, it certainly wasn't something to complain about. Secondly, the castle was actually an academy, which was in one of the many 'kingdoms' called 'Vale' that was on this system. Third, they had technology the young Jedi was familiar with, which would likely be of use to him later on. Finally, since there were foreign students from various kingdoms arriving soon, he would be able to enter the school unnoticed if he hid among them. That is, if they didn't wear matching uniforms and he didn't attract too much attention to himself.

With that last thought, he heard a loud rumbling from above and saw large shuttles fly over his head and land nearby, likely for the students the woman on the announcements mentioned. The doors to the aircraft opened, releasing the bustling teenagers from within as they made their way to the school's was the chance the young Jedi had been hoping for.

"May the Force be with me..."
