Chapter 20

Karel and Weiss were on a flight to Atlus. The visit is to learn about the Great War, fought almost 150 years ago. Karel slept as the trip was going on…

"Remember my apprentice; the most important thing I can give you is knowledge. Knowledge is what you should seek. With knowledge peace can be kept, since we know how an enemy would strike. He who seeks knowledge is the master." Master Jade said. The two were sitting in her room on Coruscant. Half a year before the war broke out. This was one of the first lessons with his master, and a lesson that Karel held dear. The lesson was ended, when Master Yoda knocked on the door. Jade opened the door. "Thought I would find you here I did. See you teaching your new apprentice I do." Yoda said. Karel bowed respectfully to Yoda. The grand master shook his head. "I mission have I for the two of you. To Corellia you would go."

"What is it master?" Jade said. She looked at her apprentice. "This will be a good lesson for him." She said.

"This assignment, simple it is. Test a new engine it will be." Yoda said

"But we're jedi, we keep peace. Why would we go test a simple engine?" Karel said

"Though my apprentice's outburst was inappropriate, he does have a point. What's so special about this Engine?" Jade said. Karel felt embarrassed

"Feel not embarrassed of your question. Good it was, and to answer, the engine needs a lightsaber to work." Yoda said. The two were shocked, though Karel didn't hide it well. "Trusted this engineer is. Personally called by supreme chancellor Palpatine she is." Yoda pulled out a lightsaber base. It was in three parts. "The heart of the engine this is. Sent to Chancellor Palpatine's office it was. Lacking a crystal it is."

"Then what are we going to do? Go get a crystal?" Karel said.

"Yes." Yoda said. "The crystal retrieved it must be." Yoda said.

"Wake up!"

"Wake up! We're home…" Weiss said, as she was shaking Karel. Karel woke up and held on his head. "You were dreaming"

"Yeah, it was about a mission I had with my master. It was one of my very first." Karel took the lightsaber and looked out the window. The cold, the buildings, and the one House that shined in it all. The Schnee house. It was a beauty of a house, and one that fits the air of this family. "I can't believe we're already back here." Karel said.

"Yeah, do you remember the day we met?" Weiss said

"Of course, you almost killed me…"

"I think that's over reacting"

"You almost killed me." Karel said, lifting up his shirt to show a scar on his chest

"Oh, yeah that was from me. Sorry about that again."

"White, you've said sorry enough times over this. But please remember to never test new dust combinations on me ever again."

"I said I won't blue." Weiss said. They started to land, and the door hatch opened, with Winter standing ready to get the two teens

"Hey Winter, long time no see. What have you been up to?" Karel said. The two were close friends, ever since he saved her from the white fang. She even got him his job protecting Weiss

"Same as always and how are you Weiss?" Winter turned to Weiss

"I am doing well, thank you for asking. We came back because Bleu here wants to see something. It's at the museum." Weiss said. The way she said blue, it was the original name that Karel had on this world, but now it's only used here in Atlus.

"I know it's not Bleu Weiss. I did see his announcement." The three started to walk to the house. "And he did tell me the first time we meet. Father's in his study, currently not with anyone, and Whitley is here."

"So the full family's here. Good, it's always such a joy to see you guys." Karel said.

"Is that sarcasm?" Weiss said. The three got the entrance, the two very large doors that truly have two much smaller doors in them. The doorknob was made with fire dust in it to make the door warm no matter the time of day or year. The doorbell was linked to a small amount of fire dust that heated up the doorstep, making the person warm before they would enter into the house. The color of the door was a dark blue, with a design seen on it. The design was a lighter blue made into a snowflake.

"When am I ever sarcastic about you guys?" Karel said

"Some things never change." Winter said as she opened the door. The entry room to the home of one of the wealthiest families on Remnant was littered with fine art, expensive furniture, and many, many other things to show the wealth of the family, along with a Butler that Weiss knew very well.

"It's good to see you all again." Klien Sieben said holding out a cup of coffee for Weiss.

"It's good to see you again Klien." Weiss said. She took the cup. Karel walked up to Klien. "How you doing Doc?" Karel said, since Klien's eyes were light brown.

"I'm doing good, and don't call me Doc." Klien said. The two looked at each other. "I believe that you should see Mr. Schnee. The two of you."

"Is father in a meeting?"

"No, and he's cleared up anything." Klien said.

"I hope it's a hero's welcome." Karel said jokingly

"Why would you get a hero's welcome? You didn't kill anyone important." Weiss said

"But I fought the guy who basically killed everyone." Karel said with wounded pride. The two walked down the halls getting to the door of Weiss's father. Weiss opened the door and there he was looking at them. He smiled and said "There the two of you are. Weiss and Karel, please sit down."

"Father how do you know Karel's real name?" Weiss said

"Well He told me and Winter. He also told the world" Jacques Schnee said.

"I guess everyone saw that. It's been hard to not be in the spot light. When my other friends came here I had a hard time leaving the building" Karel said. He looked at a painting in the office. He saw it hundreds of times, but it looked different this time. He noticed something he never noticed, a small tare.

"I see you saw the small tare in that painting. Atlus was attacked by a small ship of the stormtroopers that attacked Beacon. They destroyed the window behind me and a piece of glass cut the paper. The stormtroopers were three in total. We don't know how they got here until last week, when we found a ship. The fools were killed, but now I've ordered a new painting." Jacques said.

"What's the painting of Father?" Weiss said

"I thought of making it of Karel here, fighting the enemy that fought against Vale. I thought it appropriate since he started off here." Karel moved in his seat. "Alright, but I wasn't the person who killed him, and he beat me."

"Then who did kill him? Ozpin, Goodwitch…?"

"No, it was my teammate Bora. She is also from my galaxy, and she took out her pistol. She shot the inquisitor in the head killing him." Karel said

"I've yet to hear of this, but it is of you holding your lightsaber, looking at the "Inquisitor"

Weiss coughed and the two looked at her. "I think that you should tell father why we came here." Weiss said.

"Was it not to spend some time here in Atlus with us?" Jacques said.

"Actually we came here to visit the Museum, it has a lightsaber used in the great war. I have a feeling that it will connect to everything that's been happening recently."

"What's been happening recently?" Jacques said

"Well you see I've had a dream about the leader of the great war, and it turns out to be a Darth, someone that makes the inquisitor look like a youngling."

"What's a youngling?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot that you don't know the ranks of Jedi. The Younglings are the little ones. From 2 to about twelve."

"I see… so what are you going to do? If you don't know where it is…?"

"I do think I know where it is?" Karel said. He looks at Weiss. "Why don't we stay here for one night." Weiss sighed and agreed to stay for one night.

"Alright, now you can stay in your rooms. Who came to pick you up?" Jacques asked.

"Winter…" Weiss said. Karel turned his head towards Weiss and gave her a look telling her that she shouldn't have said That name.

"…But Winter left immediately. She only lead us to the door. She's gone now. I think someone from Atlus came and got her." Karel said quickly. Karel looks at the calendar on the wall, and realized something. "It's my birthday."

"Oh yeah, it is isn't it. You're seventeen now right?" Weiss said

"Well, now I have to have you over for dinner. A key fighter at Beacon, a Hero; tell me how I couldn't have a celebration." Jacques said.

"I don't know if you'd call me a hero, I did have to be carried out of the fight, twice." Karel said

"Nonsense, come, we'll make tonight special." Jacques said.

"Can I freshen up before we do?"

"of course you can, and so can you Weiss." Jacques said as he led the two teens out of the rooms. Whitley came up and saw Weiss "Well hello my dear sister, and your alien friend." He smiled at Karel.

"And he's father's special guest tonight. Leave him alone." Weiss said. Whitley let the two teens move along. His smile turned to a frown when the two teens couldn't see him. "The guard dog is back. I hope that he doesn't bring any flees with him." Whitley walked to his room.

When Karel got into his room he found the bath, and he realized that he didn't have one at beacon, and even if he did have a bath, he had two young women in his dorm. He started to fill the tub, and he got it to the way he likes it. Warm, and no bubbles. He got into the bath, and melted into the water. "this water is amazing. You don't realize that this is the best feeling." He said to himself. He didn't even hear he door open, and he heard Weiss' voice. "Blue?"

"Don't come into the bathroom." Karel suddenly wanted bubbles in the tub. "I'm taking a bath." Weiss sat next to the open door out of the bathroom. "Why was father mad when I told him Winter picked us up?"

"You might not know this, but the two are on very poor grounds. Winter, and even you are out of his control. He wants control."

"What do you mean?" Weiss found a piece of cloth, and she put it over her eyes. She walked into the room "What are you… I see. Just don't peak." Karel moved around in the tub so nothing showed.

"Why would dad be mad at Winter?"

"She told me something very important, about a new form of dust that you dad. It's a poison, and he was going to make that into a weapon." Karel started to think about it again. "But how did he know it was poisonous?"

"I think I know how. It's been a year since it happened, but the collapse of that cave might not have killed the miners. Father might have found the poison in that mine."

"yeah, and that was the last string for winter. She called me and told me all about it. I think that's the last Winter saw your dad. He has to think that we don't know about anything. He needs to think that so we can leave this place, now if you don't mind, can you please leave so I can get dressed." Karel started to drain the water. Weiss quickly got up and left Karel's room. She left the cloth on his dresser.

The dinner and party was actually very helpful for Karel's plans. The director of the museum and a few other important people came to the dinner. The museum director was a woman, and she reminded him of Nora. The same hair style, but her hair was black. She wore glasses, and wore a suit. Jacques stood up

"I'd like to thank you all for coming here on such a short notice. I hope that everyone here is enjoying the drinks and the reason for this party. He bravely fought the leader of the invading forces. Everyone put your hands together for Karel, someone who I consider a very close friend." Jacques sat down and Karel stood up

"Thank you all for coming here. I'd like to also thank Mr. Schnee for doing all this. I also have to say that everyone who fought at Beacon is a hero. I wasn't the only one who fought the leader of the empire's invasion force. Weiss here, and our teams fought, and almost died, fighting. I know that's why we aren't here. We're here to celebrate life, and we're here to be happy. I think we can all drink to happiness." Karel put up his drink and drank. Everyone else did the same. Karel noticed the Museum director sitting at a table with a folder. She drank and waited for the toast to end. Karel stopped the toast and sat down.

"I'd toast to that" Karel heard in his head. He turned to Jacques "Excuse me for a moment." Karel went to the bathroom as the people serving the dinner.

When he got into the bath room he splashed his face with water. When he did that he looked up to see Cinder. "How are you here?" Cinder faded and Salem appeared where Cinder was, but when she was an apprentice. "You know how Jedi."

"Salem… Why are you here?" Karel said. Salem smiled and spoke again

"I find that the force likes you in a sense. You came here out of any planet in the universe. Where were you before?" Salem asked

"Do you think I'd really tell you?" Karel then put his hands on his head.

"I see, so that's what Coruscant looks like, so bright from your memories. So many jedi everywhere. I see something else. Was that you're master. She's so beautiful, but she's far to intoxicated in the light"

"Get out of my head!" Karel said.

"Don't worry; I've already seen everything I want to know. The only reason you've lived for this long is because you're not important. You are just a plaything to me. If I break you then I toss you aside, if I get bored then I toss you aside. I hope you can keep this game up. Why don't you go back to what you were doing?" Salem disappeared.

"I'll do that." Karel left the bathroom after drying off his face. He got back to the table. Weiss elbowed him. "Did something happen to you?"

"I don't know, I think so."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I think someone who wants to kill me can contact me very easily." Karel poked his head

"Stuff to do with the force and all?" Weiss said

"Yeah that's what it is actually."

"That has to suck."

"You have no idea, but now that it's happened, I'll make sure that it won't happen again. I'll be ready for it." Karel said taking a bite of the food in front of him.

After dinner the guests socialized, Karel's least favorite part. He saw the museum director and he walked over to her. "Just the person I wanted to see. Karel is it?"

"Yeah"

"Forgive my rudeness my name is Fleur Noire. I watched the news and saw you. From a series of requests I was able to get something from the man who ran the museum before me. He gave me this folder about the great war and the weapon, and it turns out that the museum has more than one of these so called "Lightsabers"

"It does? Can I see any of them?"

"Normally I'd laugh in your face, but for you, an expert in these weapons, I think we can give special permission." Ms. Noire said.

"Thank you, and I think that I'll be able to help with anything you need help with."

The party ended, But Karel and Weiss didn't go to sleep immediately after. Karel went into Weiss' room and started to go over what they learned from tonight, and Weiss asked Karel something small, he forgot about it. Before they were in Beacon she asked him about something

"So you never did get around to tell me why you seem to love blueberries all of a sudden."

"Oh yeah I forgot about that. Well remember that poison your father created. The antidote is strangely blueberries, or any other kind of berry like it. We don't know exactly why this is, but it won't take just one blueberry. It takes hundreds, and blueberries are the most potent antidote of this kind. It's not even the juice or skin. It has to be whole" Karel said

"That seem weird don't you think?" Weiss said. She thought about her father's room, and he did have berries, blackberries.

"You're father hates blueberries, and that's why I eat them in front of him."

"Why would you anger father like that?" Weiss said

"Well, right now his moral compass needs some fixing. It's like it can't even point north."

"Don't say that about father."

"I like the man, I really do. I just want to bring him back to moral choices. Opposing him won't do anything. It'll just make an enemy of a friend. He's like a father to me. It's because he's like a dad to me that I want to bring him back. Being the head of this company isn't helpful to him. It's probably not even heathy." Karel said.

Author's notes: so here's the next chapter. I had to change a lot of stuff with episode 7 coming out. I'd like to tell you all that if you like this, than please tell me. I want everything you can think of to tell me. I can't help this story without help myself. I'd also like to say that the other crossover fanfic I wrote is done, but I'd like help making the connecting stories. PM me if you'd like to help with that, and only do it if you are serious. I hope everyone is ready for 2017.
