Wow. Nine favorites, fifteen followers and four reviews in only a few days. I must be doing something right if you all are taking an interest in this story. Thanks guys, I've honestly wanted to do a Force Unleashed Story for a while now since its obvious we aren't going to get a third game. Thanks a lot Disney, you greedy corporate assholes.
Anyway, onto reviews.
Dcraus: I'm not doing such a crossover. I know Tales of Berseria, but I don't even know what Rising of Shield Hero is. Do you only give suggestions for Crossovers that I assume you are more than capable of writing?
Darth Cody: I fixed the part you were talking about so it should be all good now. Haven't seen a story update from you in a while, issues with life and all that I take it?
Jamesoael123: I don't think anyone knows how long the Great War lasted, but I fixed the edit that Darth Cody gave me.
Infinite Chronicles: Thanks. I haven't really thought about the pairing, but I am sure as hell not going to pair Galen with that murderer Cinder Fall. Though I can assure you that a certain someone will see Galen like an older brother figure. If you have any ideas for the possible pairing, let me know in your next review.
And finally, to the guest reviewer AnimeGoji91: You should double check my profile because I have already stated that I do not do Harems, I hate them. So, Galen will not be getting a harem; period!
Anyway, time to resume. Disclaimers are the same as always so please enjoy.
Chapter 2: Encounters
Days went by after Galen's arrival on Remnant and his fight with Adam Taurus's forces. It hadn't been a week and he already had a target on his back from the White Fang because he stopped their forces from raiding and attacking a few towns. Seeing as he had already made a few enemies, he decided to stay clear of settlements as much as possible to avoid them getting caught in any battles that would break out.
So, he decided to camp out and the only times he ever went into any settlements was to buy supplies or see what jobs he could take to make an honest living. Most of the jobs he took were just odd jobs since he wasn't an 'official' huntsman like Qrow was, but at least he didn't have to worry about getting shot in the back.
"I've fought Stormtroopers, Kota's Militia scavengers, droids made from spare parts and the natives of Felucia strong in the force, plus numerous Rancors. I don't think Vader or myself would ever think that this would end up happening to me." Galen said to himself, putting another log on the fire he made a few minutes ago. "Then again, I probably would have been dead if fate hadn't intervened and sent me to Remnant."
A howl of a distant Beowolf told him that a pack was nearby. Thankfully, the pack wasn't too close to his location so he didn't need to worry about them. "First thing in the morning, I'm heading out. Vale's only a few days away so I should reach civilization soon." He said to himself.
"And what will you do when you arrive?" a voice said from nearby. Springing to his feet and igniting his saber, Galen looked around for the source of the voice. "Your skills are quite powerful and you have a lot of potential as a warrior." The voice said.
"Who are you?" Galen demanded.
"Someone who thinks you're better off joining my tribe." The voice said and appearing in front of him was a woman with black hair and red eyes wearing a shallow cut black and red dress, black shorts and a series of beaded of necklaces around her neck. On her arms were red armored gauntlets covering her solid black gloves while her black leggings lacked any sort of protection. Aside from her the heel's, the women wore a red and white bandana in her hair. On their side was a long single edged sword stored in a scabbard which had a rotary chamber which held different type of blade.
"And just who the hell are you?" Galen demanded.
"My name is Raven Branwen." The now named Raven answered. "You've already met my idiot brother Qrow and I bet he's already told you all about huntsman and huntresses. Well, did he tell you he left our tribe, his family to become a huntsman?" she asked.
"I didn't have the best life either! I saw my own father killed right before my eyes when I was only a year old. I was lied and manipulated by the person who killed my father for years before I finally learned the truth about who I am." Galen stated. "I was trained on the belief that I would help overthrow someone far eviler than him and fought against those who were stronger than me. But I prevailed and I was still betrayed. And when I had the chance to end that person's life, I choose to help those who helped me realize who I really was." He added.
"Pathetic. You could have become far more powerful than you already are and yet you choose the needs of others over your own." She said in disbelief. "The weak die, the strong live. Those are the rules." Raven stated.
"You'd kill someone without even a second thought? Even children?" Galen asked.
"I do what I must so my tribe survives and I think you've killed quite a few people as well." Raven answered, drawing her sword after one of the blades in her scabbard. "Its pretty obvious that you won't join my tribe, so I think I'll just kill you before you become a problem." She declared, her swords blade glowing bright blue.
Galen stood his ground before kicking some dirt into the fire, putting it out before Raven lunged at him. Backflipping out of the way of the attack, Galen brought his saber up and blocked a strike from his attacker before pushing Raven back and grabbed numerous rocks with the force and sent them towards her.
Raven dodged the rocks and swung fired her blade at Galen who redirected it towards a tree. This forced Raven to switch to her electric blade and launch a series of lightning fast attacks to try and put Galen on the defensive. Galen blocked each attack, but this forced him to move further away from his camp site.
"There's a lot more to that sword of hers then I know." Galen thought to himself blocking Raven's next attack, which to his surprise sent a jolt of electricity through his body, but it didn't affect him in the slightest aside from a slight tingle.
Putting her sword back into its sheath, Raven switched to her fire blade and drew it out so fast a wave of fire dust was sent towards Galen who barely had a chance to dodge the attack. The fire wave hit Galen right in the chest and sent him right into a nearby tree, dropping his lightsaber in the process. Galen was quick to regain his senses just in time to avoid another fire wave from Raven's weapon.
Rolling away, Galen reached out and recalled his weapon back to him just in time to block a downward slash from Raven's sword. However, a spark from Raven's blade scared Galen's cheek. "It seem's your Aura isn't as strong as I once thought. Still, your skills as a warrior are quite something to behold." Raven said impressively.
"Like I said, I've trained for years." Galen retorted.
"That so." Raven said as she moved her sword into her left hand. "Then I'm also assuming that you believe that you are the only one with a weapon like that." she added and pulled out a familiar looking cylinder object from behind her back with her right hand. "Hate to break it to you, but you aren't the only one."
To Galen's surprise, Raven activated a lightsaber and its green blade ignited. "Where did you get that!?" Galen demanded.
"Wouldn't you like to know." Raven retorted and brought her green blade down onto Galen only for him to block the attack with his blue blade. "I've been known to use this weapon when I fight a worthy opponent and I have to say, you are quite a worthy opponent."
While he never trained with Proxy against Jedi who used two lightsabers, Galen wasn't going to back down against the women who attacked him and was determined to take her down. That was easier said then done seeing as had to now deal with two blades instead of one. He blocked the blade from Raven's saber, but wasn't able to block the fire wave from her sword which hit him hard on the chest.
"My offer still stands. If you join my tribe, I can assure you that your skills will be put to better use than helping the weak fools in this world." Raven offered again trying to get Galen to join her tribe of bandits as she brought both her own weapon and the lightsaber she had down on Galen.
With his saber in one hand, Galen blocked both weapons before he pushed Raven back into a tree hard. The impact forced Raven to drop her lightsaber which Galen quickly pulled towards him with the force before Raven could even react. "I'll ask you one more time. Where did you get this weapon?" Galen demanded.
Raven just looked at him and smirked. Grabbing a handful of dirt, she blinded Galen long enough for her use her semblance and create a portal which she entered before it closed just as Galen regained his sight. "I have a strong feeling I'll be seeing her again." He muttered before he gathered his belongings and went to sleep.
During his sleep, Galen found himself standing on the roof of a building of a city that was being attacked by the creatures of Grimm. We watched Huntsmen and Huntresses fighting both the Grimm and machines that resembled old CIS battle droids attacking the city while numerous warships of unknown make floated in the sky, many of which were damaged by the Grimm.
The attacked city soon changed to a location which he assumed was one of the academies where students, both human and Faunus were fighting against the Grimm, the battle droid like machines and White Fang forces. The scene then changed again and Galen watched in horror as a young girl with a large red scythe was killed from behind by a red blade through the chest. "You don't know the power of the dark side, girl. Now watch as your friends and loved ones perish." A new voice said before Galen heard the sounds of a respirator and saw Vader walk towards the dead girl.
"VADER!" Galen shouted and was tempted to attack his former master when he vanished. The scene then vanished and Galen found himself looking over a grave stone on top of a cliff near a forest. "Was that the future or just something shown by the Dark side?" Galen asked himself.
"It was a possible future." A voice said from behind him. Turning around, Galen looked to see a ghostly figure of a women wearing a white cloak. The women also wore a high-neck décolletage blouse with stubbed wristbands on her arms, a black and white over bust corset, a skirt with tulle underneath, grey leggings and knee-high boots with red soles.
"Who are you!? I just saw you die!" Galen demanded.
The women slowly removed her hood and looked to Galen revealing black and red hair tied back in a half-up/half-down style and silver eyes. "My name is Summer Rose and I know who you are, Galen Marek." Summer answered. Galen was taken aback by how the women knew his name but before he could even speak, Summer beat him to the punch. "Please, I mean you no harm. I need your help."
"Why would you need my help?" Galen asked.
"The girl you saw being killed in your dream, she's my daughter and she's in great danger as is all of Remnant." Summer began. "There is a threat to very existence of our world and my daughter is the target of this threat and I fear for her safety. What I am asking of you is that you protect my daughter from this threat. I can not do this for I am also a target and have been forced to hide myself from this threat to protect my family. I am asking you, as a Jedi to please protect my daughter."
Galen looked to Summer curiously and thought back to what he saw. From what he gathered, one of the kingdoms and academies was going to be attacked in the future and somehow, Vader was involved with this attack for a reason he didn't know. "Your daughter. Tell me, you love her, right?" Galen asked.
"Yes." Summer answered. "I love her more than anything in this world and I fear she will not be ready for what is to come. I can't bear the thought of knowing my daughter was killed."
Again, Galen thought about his choice. While he was never shown any kindness by Vader when he was his apprentice, he sensed that this woman was being sincere. "If I accept, how will I know what your daughter looks like?" he asked.
"You'll know her when you see her and I have a strong belief that you'll help change someone's opinion about humanity as a whole." She added.
Again, Galen thought about what this woman was asking him before he gave her his answer. "I'll do it." Galen answered.
Summer smiled before she walked over to Galen. "Thank you. But before you begin this task, I will unlock your Aura." She said and put her hand on Galen's head. "For it is in passing that we achieve immortality. Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all, infinite in distance and unbound by death. I release your soul and by my shoulder protect thee." She chanted and soon enough Galen's body glowed blue as his Aura soon healed the wounds Raven gave him. "You may be strong now, but you will need to become stronger if you are to protect my daughter." Summer said before she began to vanish. "Be aware, you will find those from where you are from who will help you in your journey." She added before she vanished.
When Galen awoke, he found it was morning and looked to his wounds which were completely gone. "Guess there is a lot more to this planet then I first thought." He said to himself before continuing on his way.
As he continued on his path, a storm was quickly approaching as he continued onwards. As storm grew closer and closer, Galen thought about what he was asked by Summer or whoever he encountered in his dream. "Kota always said to trust my instincts and, in the force, and both are telling me that Summer was speaking the truth. Yet, I feel like she wasn't telling me everything. But what does Vader have to do with any of this." He asked himself.
Before he could think about anything else, he felt a presence nearby and was quick to grab his lightsabers. "Whoever's out there, show yourself!" he shouted to whoever was following them.
Leaping down from a tree branch, Galen looked to see that the person following him was a woman with ember eyes, dark skin complexion and numerous tattoo's adoring her body. Her clothing consisted of a black leotard with a white breast plate and black hood which covered her wild black hair in a bob-style. The women removed their hood and revealed themselves to be a Faunus woman with four ears, two of which were animal and the other two were human ears. "You are a difficult person to track down, but at long last I have found you." The women said.
Instantly, Galen activated his lightsabers, preparing for a fight. Much to his surprise, the Faunus woman he was speaking to didn't bring out their own weapon. "I didn't come here to fight; I only came here to talk. So please, put your weapons away and let us talk like civilized people." The woman said.
Galen sensed her intentions and did just that. "Alright, so if we're going to talk who exactly am, I talking too?" he asked.
"My name is Sienna Khan. I am the current high leader of the White Fang and I need your help." Sienna stated.
"The White Fang wants my help?" Galen asked. "Sorry, but I don't think you'd want my help considering I've turned in a lot of your comrades to the authorities when I could have killed them." he scoffed.
"You must be referring to those following Adam's ideals. I can assure you, I'm not like him. I'm not as prejudiced towards humans like many of my fellow Faunus. If anything, I respect the humans because someone wielding a weapon much like yours saved my life when I was only a child after a group of humans murdered my parents in cold blood." Sienna explained, catching Galen by surprise.
"I will admit, I was the first to suggest using violence and fear against the humans, but lately it appears that I am losing my grip on the organization and we are now slowly descending into darkness." She added, clenching her fists. "Adam's hatred of humanity is spreading through the White Fang like a wild fire and its only a matter of time before he does something that will justify a war between us and the humans. A war that no one will win! I've seen too many reports of innocent people dying in the attacks Adam has conducted ever since I took over the organization after I forced our former leader to step down. If only I could turn back the hands of time and stop myself from encouraging Adam's violet behavior then…"
"You couldn't have known about this. No one can predict the future." Galen said to Sienna. "So, what is it you want me do?" he asked.
"From what I have gathered, White Fang activity in Vale is increasing and Adam is working with a group of humans who no one, not even me knows anything about. They are supplying him with dust, money and weapons indicating that Adam is planning something big. What I want is for you to find anything that can tell me about Adam's true goals and put a stop to it." She explained and pulled out her own scroll and sent Galen her number. "If you find any documents or files, send them to me. Adam's branch of the White Fang is far more dangerous than the other branches. You may have to take the lives of those who I once called brothers and sisters in order to stop them."
"You're asking me to kill those who you call…" Galen began before Sienna stopped him.
"They aren't my brothers and sisters anymore if they are willing to kill innocent people. Adam doesn't care if they men, women or children, he'll kill anyone who gets in his way! I wouldn't put it past him if he went after one of the Huntsmen Academies." She added.
"Alright. I'll do it." Galen said after sensing that Sienna was telling the truth.
"Thank you. Oh, I almost forgot. There's someone who left the White Fang not to long ago and I have reason to believe she's in Vale. When you find her, tell her I'm sorry for calling her parents cowards after they left the White Fang." Sienna said gratefully before she pulled her hood back up and headed back into the forest.
"Hey!" Galen called out to Sienna who turned around. "What was the name of the Jedi that saved your life?" he asked.
"I believe it was Obi something. I can't really remember it, I was a young girl after all, why?" Sienna asked.
"No reason." Galen answered before heading towards the direction of the city. "Can't believe Obi-Wan Kenobi helped someone on this planet. Who'd have thought it." Galen thought as he continued on.
A few days later, Galen was walking the streets of Vale looking for the Summer's daughter. He'd already searched the shady side of the city and was approaching a nearby Dust Shop when much to his surprise, the window of the shop shattered when two people smashed through it.
One of the people was man wearing a black suit and lying on the ground but still alive. The last person was a girl of fifteen with black and red hair. Her outfit consisted of a black long-sleeved blouse with a high collar and red trims on the sleeves and a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, a pair of thick black stockings, black combat boots with red laces, red trims around the top and red soles. Completing the girl's outfit was a red hooded cloak fastened to her shoulders by a pair of cross-shaped pins.
Looking towards the other goons in the shop, Ruby Rose unfolded Crescent Rose into its scythe mode twirled it around before sticking it into the ground as the music playing from her headphones turned off. "Okayyy…. Get her!" the leader of the goons, Roman Torchwick instructed.
The other goons headed out of the shop and ran towards Ruby, who spins around on top of her scythe and kicks the first goon in the face. Pulling her weapon out of the ground she fired her scythes sniper rifle and hit another goon with the butt of her weapon, sending them flying. She fired again and brought the side down on one attacker while dodging the gunfire with her rifles speed, getting in close and knocking him into the air, following him upwards before beating the goon away who landed right at Roman's feet.
"You were worth every cent. Truly, you were." Roman sighed annoyed before he dropped his cigar and crushed it with his cane as police sirens started to become closer and closer. "Well, Red, I think we can all say that its been an eventful evening, and as much as I'd love to stick around…" he began before raising his cane and reveling a rifle scope. "I'm afraid this is where we part ways." He pulled the trigger and sent a red blast towards Ruby. Much to his surprise, Galen rushed in and tackled Ruby to the ground.
"You ok?" he asked the young girl. Ruby wasn't so sure what to say but she noticed Roman climbing up a ladder on a nearby ladder. She turned back to the shopkeeper, making sure he was ok before heading after Roman with Galen right behind her. A quick igniting of his lightsabers soon revealed to Roman and Ruby who the guy was.
"Well what do we have here? The Wandering Huntsman in our fair city." Roman said in fake shock before he got annoyed. "This is not what I had in mind for the night." he soon stopped at the edge of the building as a Bullhead arrived, its hatch opening up and allowing Roman to jump inside. "End of the line kids." He shouts, tossing a red Dust gem towards the two before firing his weapon again hitting the gem and causing a large explosion.
As Roman laughed, the smoke cleared and much to his surprise, a middle-aged blonde-haired woman appeared in front of them casting a protective circle over them with her wand. The woman was wearing a white long-sleeved, pleated top with a large keyhole neckline and gauntlet cuffs at the wrist on her upper body. A black high-waisted pencil skirt with bronze and brown stockings along with black boots with bronze heels completed her lower part of her outfit while a cape with purple on the inside was attached to the upper part of her shirt.
Roman ran into the cockpit of the ship and took the controls while his companion went to deal with the problem. "We got a Huntress! Oh, might want to send in the big guys. We got the Wandering Huntsman as well." He added.
The women in the back pressed a button and much to the surprise of Galen, Ruby and the Huntress coming out of the Bullhead were four old IG-100 Magna Guard droids. Leaping over the two girls, Galen went after the droids who focused on him. Blocking the electrostaff of one of the droids with his green saber, Galen raised his second blade and blocked the staff of another droid before he countered their attacks and slashed both of them into pieces.
The last two droids soon turned their attention to Ruby and the Huntress, but Galen was quick to grab one of the droids with the force and crushed it into a cube before sending it flying into the distance, however this left him vulnerable allowing the last Magna Guard to jab him with its electro staff. Turing towards the droid, Galen brought his sabers down onto the droid slicing it right down the middle. Deactivating his lightsabers, he looked towards the Huntress who walked over towards him.
"Before the woman could speak, Ruby spoke up. "You're and Huntress and you're the Wandering Huntsman!" she said with a pleading, awe-stricken face. "Can I have your autographs?!" she asked.
Galen didn't know what to say, but before he could say anything. The Huntress cleared her throat. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to come with me." The women said. At first Galen was about to protest, but something told him that this was where he needed to be and for good measures, handed the Huntress his lightsabers.
And done with chapter 2. Now Galen has encountered Glynda, Ruby, Roman, Raven, Sienna and Summer. The latter of the six who he promised to help.
So, it seems Obi-Wan has been to Remnant before and saved Sienna's life. This is one of the reasons she is a different person than she is in canon.
Now, I have decided to put Galen on a team, as opposed to having him be a part of Team RWBY, but that doesn't mean he won't be working with said team or Team JNPR. I already have one member down, thanks to Spartan-626, but I need two more members. Please give me an accurate description of these members in a review or PM message along with their weapons, clothing, symbol and semblance.
Also, Galen has a second lightsaber, any ideas as to how Raven acquired such a weapon?
Once more, I will say that this is not going to be a Harem story.
Anyway, please read and review and I will see you all next time. Oh, and a late happy birthday to Peter Cullen, the man who brought us Optimus Prime.
