Ch.1 Jaune of the Cosmos
In a small rural town bordering the ocean, a young boy wandered around the forest. He had short hair, cobalt blue eyes, a black t-shirt with jean shorts, and flashlight. It was late at night and the young boy decided to explore. Being 10 years old meant that he didn't know any better. Sure his parents always told him to be cautious but he didn't understand the big word.
He looked underneath a log and found a green bug. A beetle maybe, but he didn't know that. He just thought it was really pretty. As the young boy continued to wonder in the forest he decided to look up at the night sky. The young child admired all the pretty stars in the sky, he even saw a shooting star as well.
His mother told him that if he ever saw a shooting star he should make a wish, and so he did. He wished to be a hero, someone people can look up to.
Unfortunately life had a cruel sense of humor. The boy looked at the shooting star as it got closer and closer until it stopped moving. Then a blinding spotlight appeared atop of the boy and before he could even scream he was gone in an instant.
Jaune Arc wished to be a hero, instead he gets to be a guardian of the cosmos. Well, try to at least.
The planet Roshin-5 was once a utopia, it still is just that instead of being a utopia for the rich, it's a utopia for the underworld. The capital of the planet was called Nedire Plateau, it was a city with tall skyscrapers, shops, outlets, bars, and right in the middle of it all a tower so tall it passes the clouds. Normally this city would be somewhat quiet, today was not one of those days however.
Near the very top of the tower windows shattered as a lone figure was free-falling towards the ground. He had a black leather jacket with yellow LED'S on the sleeves and collar of the jacket. He had a yellow shirt that appeared to be armored as indicated by the grooves inside the cloth. He wore blue cargo pants with a white stripe on the side, and yellow and black boots.
He also wore a mask, it covered the front of his face and a bit of the back. It was silver, with black highlights. It had a glowing orange visor that ran across from one eye to the other, some grills by the cheeks and a diamond like mouth-piece in the middle painted gold. His hair stook out of the top of the mask.
"Woo-hoo"
This is Jaune Arc, an honorary member of the guardians of the galaxy, savior of planets, and all around badass, or so he says himself. On his back was a rather large duffel bag. Turning his head Jaune could see multiple drones exit from the hole he made.
"Uh-oh"
Jaune pressed a button on his wrist but nothing happened.
"Come on…"
Jaune pressed the button repeatedly, the ground was starting to get closer and closer. Jaune frustrated, jammed his fingers into the button in doing so it caused two jets by his ankles to launch him forward. The drones followed suit but some weren't able to change course and crashed into the pavement below.
Looking back Jaune counted a total of 10 drones. Reaching for a holster on his side he grabbed a unique pistol. It looked like a magnum but instead of having a revolving chamber, in its place is what looks like a cylindrical cooling vent. Other than that it was like holding a magnum. Jaune had called it the DE-10.
Taking some potshots he was able to take out 2 drones. Because he was looking behind him he never noticed the incoming building. At the last second Jaune flew upwards. Four drones followed while two more crashed into the building.
Going up Jaune grabbed small round marbles he threw them downwards. The marbles stuck to the drones as they continued to fire at Jaune. Jaune pressed another button on his wrist and a light on the four marbles turned on. In turn it caused the four remaining drones to get magnetized and collide with each other.
"Ha-ha!"
Jaune whooped and made his way towards the edge of the city. As he got closer he killed the jets and before him a cloaked ship opened its hangar, catching him. Standing up he walked to the wall and pressed a button closing the hangar door. He douuble tapped the side of his mask and it pixalated to two tabs on top of his ears.
Jaunes face had matured since, no longer was he a chubby cheeked 10 year old. Instead was a 19-year old man, he had a slim but defining face. His hair was shorter and done up like a horn because of his time flying.
Walking out of the hangar he stood infrong of a holo-table. Placing the duffel bag on top of it he opened it up and retreived a unique object. It had a total of 20 sides, it had a hollow interior and the sides facing diagonally had a clear glass. Inside was what appeared to be a small spherical object. This is a rare and ancient object called The crux of Mayhem.
"Look at you. Don't seem so strong now, do you huh?"
Examining it Jaune saw a strange caligraphy on the sides of it. Shaking it did nothing and trying to pry it open didn't seem to work either. Whatever this was Jaune felt cheated out on.
"Infiltrate one of the most dangerous criminals base and steal this, only to find out its a hunk of junk" jaune sighed and ran a hand through his locks.
Free me…
Jaune's head jerked up and looked around the ship. He was the only one if he remembered correctly.
Free me….
There it was again. Looking down at the ancient object Jaune saw it glow for a bit.
Free me and I shall grant you one wish
Jaune looked at it, shrugged, and tossed it back into the bag. Jaume walked into the blcockpit of his ship and looked out the window. He was in space, turning the ship around Jaune could see Roshin-5 and it looked beutiful. The sight of space was always breathtaking.
Jaune sat in the pilots seat and began to input co-ordinates to Xandar. He needed to take this to the Nova Corp to have it examined and put into safe keeping. Locking on, he accelerated the throttle and made the jump to Xandar.
"Thank you again Jaune for bringing this in. Withought you I don't know what we'd do to secure these items"
"Thanks don't mention it. Honestly i'm happy to help out in any way I can"
"The nova corp thank you again. See you soon and hopefully as a visitor too"
Jaune waved back to Nova Prime, well the new one. Ever since Thanos came by and glasses the place they had been slowly but surely rebuilding. With the help of other planets and the gaurdians the planet was able to come back strong again.
Jaune made it to the docking bay and looked at his ship. He remembered he stile it off from some high-end rich snob one day. It turns out the ship was a prototype for others of its kind. The ship had two wings jutting out the side, on the front were two pincer like portrusions. It had fins on the back and weapons on the bottom of it. This is the Kestral Class CXO. Jaune had nicknamed it ilussion because of its cloaking technology. Rocket had named it the lobster.
"Good ole rocket"
Entering the cockpit Jaune signalled the control tower for launch and was given permision to do so. Exiting the atmosphere Jaune began to scroll through different planets, among them was Terra or Earth. Jaune had visited there once, turns out they are a bit behind on the whole space travel thing and he had to talk to some people.
After a bit he explored earth for a while and made some friends, kicked some butt, and brought back souveniers. He became friends qith a kid named Peter something, he had spider powers so that was fun. He introduced him to classic rock, modern pop, and more. There were also some great movies like Star Wars, Star Trek, Battleship Galactica, and more.
"Good times"
Jaune however wasn't looking to go to earth so he continued to scroll through the many planets some named others just co-ordinates. Jaune was looking for his homeworld. He didn't remeber much from it other that it had a shattered moon, and looking up 'planets with a shattered moon' there were a lot of different places to visit. So he had to dig deeper, in the end he was able to illustrate the moon of his homeworld and now he looked.
"Nope, nope, nope, nu uh, nope, nada, zero, nope. Ugh, can't something go right for once?"
After a bit he heard beeping, before he could react a large ship entered the area via jump. Looking at the ship it reminded him of a large metal brick. Looking at his dashboard he noticed he was receiving a transmission, unkown number. Jaune hit accept.
"Hello?"
"Arc!"
Oh great, this asshole
" hey Zigos, hows it been. Done anything interesting lately?"
"You stole my diamond"
"Oh you mean the paperweight? Yeah. What about it?"
"That 'paperwight' cost more than your life in credits"
"I know that, its the main reason I 'borrowed' it and a good deal too to boot"
Jaune could feel the anger emanating through the speaker. Jaune knew he was outgunned and outmatched so the best thing to do would be to make a quick escape. Jaune began to mindlessly swipe for a suitible escape. He also enabled the tracking jammer as to go incognito.
"I'm giving you one chance to explain to me why I shouldn't dust you right now"
"Zigos, buddy, you know me. We've done buisness for a long time together. Sure its just one mess up but I still have the money from the transaction, no need to get your panties in a twist"
"How much?"
"Huh?"
"How much did you get, because I want my share on the money"
"Um, yeah abou that. I kinda don't have enough for the two of us"
"Is that so? Then I think I can just take everything you own. Starting with your life"
The weapons on Zigos ship began to lock onto Jaunes ship. At that moment Jaune chose a random planet locking on to the coordinates.
"You know Zigos, this was a lovely chat but unfortunately I got to go. You know living is great right, I hope you agree with me on this one"
At that moment Jaune smashed his acceletator to full and made the jump to the planet. Zigos' ship fired too late as Jaunes ship made the jump.
"After him"
"Sir wr can't. He seems to be jamming us"
"Dammit"
Jaune however wasn't so lucky because unkowingly the planet he jumped to makes a total of 335 jumps to arrive. The mammalian body can only do a total of 50 jumps healthily. So yeah
"I think i'm going to be sick!!!"
30 minutes later and the ship finally arrived. Jaune had passed out at around 15 minutes in to the trip. Standing up on shaky legs Jaune surveyed the area. Looking at the planet it seemed like any other. Large landmasses, bodies of water, islands and a shattered moon.
Wait a shattered moon? Jaune examined it and pulled up an image, a sketch he made of the moon from his dreams. Scanning it and comparing it he was able to make out an 85% similarity to his drawing. That was the closest he was gonna get and because of that Jaune was ecstatic.
"I did it. I finally found it. Home"
Jaune was about to hit max speed to head in but then he remembered what happened when he visited earth.
"Don't want a repeat of that"
Because of that Jaune decided it would be best to look up the planets name, its history, and current events that are happening. Also he should find anything of value he could possibly sell on knowehere.
So with that jaune changed into some sweats, a metallica t-shirt, and a hoodie and began to read about the world of
"Remnant. neat"
That concludes the first chapter of Galactic Gaurdian.
This story is inspired of off Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy, mainly the MCU version.There are certain things that are inspired from other franchises so good luck finding it out what they are.
Continuity wise this story takes place in volume 8. I know we don't know much about it since it recently came out but I want to experimwnt since this story is already AU.
As for shipping, I do not know about that. I don't want to ship an AU Jaune to a specific character from the story.Other than that Pyrrha is alive, as to how that will be explained later. Don't troll, pyrrha won't affect the ship much or at all.
I hope you enjoy this new story
