Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars, Spider-man, orPirates of the Caribbean. Nor do I own the list of movies mentioned in this chapter... Actually, you know what? I do own a copy of the Back to the Future trilogy... But other than that, I do not own anything related to these movies. I haven't even seen half of them, I just needed titles... I do own Jennifer, though!
A/N: This story is, in fact, a Mary-Sue story. It was done for a Mary-Sue crossovercontest on another site. As of yet the judging has not been concluded, but I don't think I'll get a very high score. My character was kind of a weak Mary-Sue. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little piece of... well, nonesense. It was meant to be slightly angsty in later chapters, but not overly so. I didn't have a lot of time to develop a really long, in depth story (I was cramming the last four chapters in the day of the deadline!).
Unexpectedly Unsuspected
Prologue
A sharp piercing scream escaped Jenny's throat as a cold metallic claw, clamped on her right wrist, twisted her arm behind her, beyond where it should be. The man behind her was the one doing the torturing, yet his arms were hanging at his sides. He was stocky and dark-haired, with a mean smirk on his face. A strongly built, middle-aged nightmare of a mercenary, he was the very embodiment of torture. The poor girl's painfully twisted face was perfectly reflected in the dark, round shades that hid his brown eyes.
Another scream echoed in the dark, shadowy throne room as the ruthless metal claw continued to twist. At last, a dark, sinister voice spoke from the throne at the top of the flight of steps, which was located at one end of the long room. "That will be enough, Doctor," it said. The voice belonged to the ominous hooded figure that sat comfortably onthe large black throne. His frail arms were covered by large black sleeves, his pale, wrinkled face nearly hidden by the hood of his black cloak. He was the image of all evil, and his oily voice only added to the picture.
The man who had been addressed as "Doctor" stepped away from the girl, the terrible steel claw finally releasing its grip on Jenny's arm. She collapsed at the foot of the stairs, breathing heavily and casting about for an escape. The only thing she saw was the young man off to one side, his wrists bound in stun cuffs, his sandy tunic contrasting starkly with the dark, evil tone of the room.
His name was Obi-Wan Kenobi, and he was a Jedi Padawan. He had been supposed to be protecting Jenny, until they got captured.
Enter the heroine, Jennifer Turner, a descendant of the pirates of long ago, stuck in a galaxy far from home. It was not always like this. Once she was a normal girl with dreams of her own. That is, until she found the transport machine.
Chapter 1: The Unsuspecting Mary-Sue
Jennifer Turner always knew she was descendant from the greatest pirate of the Carribean. Her parents even had a summer house in Port Royal. Jenny used to enjoy her vacations there, but, as she grew older, all she wanted to do with her summer was stay at home watching her movies. At first, her parents had let her off easy, but this year, they were going to drag the poor girl along with them, willing or not.
And so, Jenny spent that fateful morning saying a tearful goodbye to her DVD player. They were leaving for the airport in two hours, so her parents had said she could watch one last movie before they left.
That was where her problem lay. She couldn't decide which movie to watch before the summer vacation ruined her life. She went to the box in which she kept her DVD's and flipped through the selection. Choosing a short list of her favorites would be easy, but picking just one of those would be harder.
Jenny had the movies sorted out by genre, so she decided to start there. She ran her finger lovingly down the columns and rows until she came to an index card inserted between the cases. On the card, written in large, bold letters, were the words SCIENCE FICTION. Jenny ran her eyes over the titles: Independence Day, I Robot, Back to the Future, Star Trek, Armageddon, The Matrix, The Terminator, Star Wars, Deep Impact, The Core. Finally, she chose Star Wars Episode I and Episode VI, removed them from the box, and moved on.
The next index card said ROMANCE. Wrinkling her nose in disgust, Jenny skipped it and moved on. She wasn't in the mood to watch romance movies right now. Behind that category was another card that read COMICS. Jenny sighed. This genre held some of her worst movies, but also one of her favorites. She searched through the titles for the one she wanted: The Hulk, X-Men, Superman, Batman, Daredevil. Finally, she found it. Spider-man 2, one of her favorite movies of all time. Pulling it out and setting it with the other two, she plunged bravely on.
Jenny skipped the next three sections: COMEDY, ROMANTIC COMEDY, DRAMA. At last, she reached the last index card, ACTION/ADVENTURE. She quickly flipped through the cases. Indiana Jones, Master and Commander, Hidalgo, S.W.A.T., The Fugitive. Jenny was running out of time. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Medallion, Twister. Where was it? Rush Hour, Wild Wild West, Clear and Present Danger. There it was! Pirates of the Carribean. Jenny drew the last movie out almost reverently and placed it with the other three.
Time was running short. Soon Jenny wouldn't have time enough to watch a movie. She laid the four movies on the bed in front of her and tried hard to make a decision. She just couldn't make herself choose one.
"Jenny," her mom called from upstairs. "You'd better start your movie soon, or there won't be time to watch it!"
Jenny rolled her eyes. "Do you think I don't know that?" she mumbled to herself. Then she turned her attention quickly to the frantic decision before her. She squeezed her eyes shut and thought so hard her head hurt. She did not want to make a decision like this.
Glancing up at the clock, Jenny saw that she was very swiftly running short on time. At this point it must be made clear that our heroine is not the brightest of girls. In a moment of panic, she opened all four cases and ran for the DVD player. Without so much as a thought, she began jamming the DVD's into the player. First, the Star Wars movies went in, then Spider-man 2. Finally, just as she was getting ready to push the Pirates of the Carribean disc in, a large electrical shock burst from the small silver box. Jennifer fell to the floor unconscious.
A/N: Please review. I really want to know what you think! And remember, she is supposed to be a Mary-Sue! Oh, and this story was written before I saw Superman... I take back what I said: Superman was one of the most awesome movies ever! (cough) Anyway, next chapter will come next week!
