Star Wars - Jedi Rangers
The Jedi Rangers Part 1
Somewhere on the planet, Byss...
The several beings covered in robes look up upon seeing a ship landing in front of them. The ship bay door opens, and two thieves walk out to the robed figures.
"Do you have the Artifact?" the lead robed figure asks.
"It's where you said it would be, exactly, "the thief answers. "I never thought such a prize would be hidden in such a place."
The thief hands the sack to the lead robed figure. He looks inside the bag and then closes it.
"Excellent. Please, give our helpers their reward."
The robed figures depart, while the largest one approaches the confused thieves. Agonizing screams can be heard.
"My lord, you should look at this.", the female figure said, handing the first figure a holopad.
"Well, well. The boy never ceases to impress me.", the leader said before his eyes glow crimson red and voice becoming deep and menacing. "So then Ben Skywalker, who shall be the final victor of the Star Wars?"

Note: I don't own any of this.
The opening starts with a journey through hyperspace for coming out before the Star Wars logo before changing to the Jedi Rangers logo.
Cut to the Jedi Rangers ready to fight; Ben Skywalker drawing his lightsaber, Leida Mothma twirling her quarterstaff, Bradon Jenson swinging his vibrosword, Alice Ty throwing her disc blade, Bali Payton firing her energy bow, Gaile Gaze shooting fireballs from her hands, Damien Faro wielding his lightsaber and Zekk swinging his crossguard lightsaber.
A Starhawk-Class, the Unity, departs from Coruscant and jumps to lightspeed. On a forest planet, the Jedi Rangers travel on foot, marveling at the beauty before setting up camp. The almost shadowed Neo Sith Order members slowly walking away from a burning city, leaving behind death and destruction before Darth Pein raises his right hand and conjures a Force Storm.
The Unity charges and then fires it's orbital autocannon, before switching to a brief shot of a Spherical Holocron.
The Jedi Rangers are entering their starfighters and launching out of the Unity, before switching to a brief shot a black sword and white sword crossing.
Ben Skywalker stands over the cliff staring at the moon, seeing an illusion of Anakin and Luke in their glory days before seeing Anakin change to Darth Vader and Luke becoming disappearing, causing him to use the force to cast them out out of anger and shame.
The Unity once again travels through hyperspace and visiting different planets.
The opening finally ends with Darth Pein and Ben Skywalker staring at each other before both sides ignite their lightsabers and clash, resulting in a powerful shockwave.
Somewhere on a planet occupied by the First Order...
"What's the damage?!", the First Order Officer calls out.
"Two of our Resurgent-Class Star Destroyers crash to each other with no explanation, and already half of our ground garrison have been wiped out!" a Stormtrooper reports. "What's worse, two of the Knights of Ren are confirmed dead!"
"It can't be the Resistance, their losses from D'qar and Crait is still fresh.", the officer thought before feeling something pierce through his body. With his last seconds of life, he sees a green lightsaber through his chest. The stormtrooper fires his blaster, but the attacker uses the officer's corpse as a shield before placing an activated thermal detonator onto the body and kicks it to the Stormtrooper. The body explodes with the trooper caught in the blast.
"I sensed three Knights of Ren, and I've already killed two, so where...", the attacker said before hearing the sound of a lightsaber. The third Knight of Ren jumps through the fire and attack but suddenly finds himself chocking mid-air.
'Impossible! He can do this without even looking and raising his hands.', the Knight of Ren thought in terror. 'No, one is this powerful.'
The attacker then turns, revealing his face to the Knight of Ren, causing him to widen his eyes in shock.
"You... l-l-look... like... Lu...", the Knight said before the man crushes the neck to the point of decapitation.
"My name is Ben Skywalker. Not that it matters.", Ben said as he discards the head uncaringly and leaves the battlefield ignoring the surrendering First Order forces brutally executed by the worst possible manner by the residents of the planet.
Outer Space...
Ben flies his Starsaber starfighter, a new starfighter intended to replace the T-70 X-Wing starfighters, but proved too difficult to pilot and was later discovered that only force-sensitives could pilot it to its full capability; thus the T-85 X-Wing was chosen as the new line of fighter production though the only model was kept in storage. He then receives a coded transmission from the Alderaan Flotilla and is ordered to go there. Ben shuts off the communication but suddenly finds his astromech is flying straight for the Flotilla.
"Those meddlesome guys.", Ben mutters as the ship enters the flotilla hanger bay.
Alderaan Flotilla Space Station...
Cal Omas, the current regent administrator and the hologram of Mara Jade, are looking at records of Ben Skywalker's battle against the First Order. They are disturbed at how he does things, for in every battle he took part in of he left the enemy with no survivors. The Knights of Ren suffer a much more gruesome death from being torn and eaten alive by wild animals to continuously having his face smashed to the wall until he expired.
"In my eyes, I see my son brutally executing Knights of Ren, but in his eyes he sees himself killing Darth Vader over and over again.", Mara said sadly as Cal Omas turns of the records. "Thank you for taking good care of him."
"It's the least I can do for family members of Leia Organa, even distance one.", Cal said. "It's sad to see a child suffer repercussion from the action of his deceased grandfather. I'm just sorry I couldn't do more."
"No, it's because of you and a few others that my son never became a complete sociopath.", Mara said. "I wish I could see him, but the public knows of my relation to the late emperor, and my presence with him would further complicate things."
"I pray that this plan of your success for this may be our only chance.", Omas said. "What of this enemy you speak of?"
"He left quite a mess this time. Roly Melusar and all the Anti-Force-Users leaders launch an attack on him.", Mara said.
"How did it go?"
"Disastrous. That man alone wiped out the entire fleet in mere moments and the whole Anti-Force-Users leadership leaving this message. 'Retribution from the gods.'", Mara said. "The remaining Anti-Force-Users are committing suicide, believing that their action against the Force-Users has angered the gods and that the battle is proof."
"It's quite rude the way you called me in, don't you think?" Ben said, referring to his astromech seizing control of his ship. "I had to give my astromech to someone else."
"It's the only way to bring you here whenever you're summoned especially one of great importance.", Omas said. "You are given a new assignment, which is to be a trainer for some force-sensitives."
"My job isn't to train, and I call this a bad idea. After what happened to my father's order, what makes you think I'll do any better?" Ben points out. "Why not asks that Rey character or Leia?"
"I'm afraid this is not for debate as it is not I requesting this.", Omas said calmly. "Your mother, Mara Jade, was the one who has chosen you."
"My mother did?"
"The ship you're taking is the sole-surviving Starhawk-Class. It is equipped with the state of the art slave-circuity system under the control of a mother unit. NAVI, please come in.", Omas calls out as a small hovering LED screen droid hover next to Omas. "This droid is one of the only two made due to costs and complexity."
"Greetings, I'm NAVI. Please to meet you.", NAVI said.
"You as well.", Ben said as he practically used to talk to droid over people.
"Also a gift from your mother.", Omas said, handing a gold medallion with a white gem in the center.
Starhawk-Class, The Unity...
The Jedi Initiates all gather in the bridge waiting for Ben. The last initiate makes a dramatic entrance to the bridge, causing a female initiate to yelp upon a sword swing.
"I'm Brandon Jenson of the Matukai. This may be my first day as a Jedi, but my spirit is ecstatically on fire!" Brandon announces before turning to the girl who yelped. "Hey, you, the frightened girl, what do they call you?"
"Y-Y-You mean, me? I'm Gaile Gaze of the Jal Shey. I wasn't frightened."
"Boo!" Gaile yelp and jumps into Brandon's arms. The two look at the culprit.
"I'm Zekk. Just so you know, I'm sick and tired of acting like we're supposed to be close pals.", Zekk said. "I don't wanna be playing along with guys like you."
"I would expect that from an elitist.", Leida Mothma, the daughter of Mon Mothma, said in disgust.
"Said the daughter of the one who made the First Order.", Zekk said before Leida grabs him by the collar.
"Say that again! I dare you!" Leida said in a threatening tone.
"Now, calm down!" Alice Ty of the Zeison Sha said, stepping between the two. "We are going to be in a long-term relationship, so let's just get along."
"She's right. We're going to be the newest generation of a new Jedi Order.", Bali Payton of the Witches of Dathomir said.
"I thought the Witches and Zeison Sha hated the Jedi, so why are you two here?", Damien Faro of the Green Jedi asks.
"We ran away from our group, as they still view the Jedi negatively.", Alice said. "We thought by joining this new Jedi Order; we might convince the others that the Jedi have changed for the better."
"Guess that makes sense. The Jedi have suffered a lot in these few decades.", Damien said.
"By the way, do you guys know who our instructor will be?" Brandon asks and sees the everyone has no clue. He then makes a sly grin. "Why don't we test him to see if he's worthy of being our instructor or not?"
"We're going to set him up? That sounds like fun.", Zekk said, giving off a sly smile as well.
"Is it OK to do that?" Gaile asks.
"We'll just test his skills out a little bit.", Brandon said in assurance.
"We shouldn't be doing that!" Leida protests.
"But what are you going to do if he ends up being an incompetent instructor?" Zekk asks. "All the better Jedi are either dead or hiding like cowards."
"I guess we'll need to confirm that.", Leida said, admitting that Zekk made a solid point.
"Now, I'm getting excited!" Brandon said.
Later...
Ben enters the bridge only to find it empty.
"Everyone is late on the first day?" Ben said before suddenly finding himself in a ray shield.
The initiates jump out of their hiding place with satisfaction.
"You must be our master. We're the new initiates!" Brandon said. "Pardon us for testing your true abilities, Master!"
Both Brandon and Zekk chuckle to themselves on how easily their Master is captured.
"OK, Gaile, you can turn off the ray shield!", Brandon said before Gaile shuts off the ray shield. As the ray shield shuts off, Ben Skywalker fades away, revealing to be an illusion, much to the shock of the Initiates.
"A Force Illusion? Since when did he...", before Brandon can finish Ben drops from the ceiling and quickly restrains the struggling Brandon. The other initiates are surprised at this as they never sense or see his presence.
"Why don't you test your true abilities now?" Ben asks before releasing Brandon.
"W-W-Why, YOU!" Brandon growls, pointing his blaster.
"You're going to fire that inside the bridge?", Ben asks.
"Don't tell me something I already know! Guys, let's get him!" Brandon said as all the initiates attack. "It's seven against one! The odds are with us!"
With his bare hands, Ben easily defeats each of them and all pileup bottom to top; Brandon, Leida, Zekk, Alice, Damien, and Bali.
"Is that it?" Ben asks before noticing that someone is missing. "Where's the seventh?"
Ben walks to where Gaile is hiding. Upon seeing Ben, Gaile immediately surrenders by jump onto the pile as well to save the trouble.
"I-I'm sorry about that.", Brandon said, dealing with the weight on top of him.
Somewhere in space...
A portal opens up above the asteroid, and two cloaked figures jump out of it and land on the space rock.
"Is there a Celestial Artifact here, Darth Pein?", the towering cloak figure asks.
"So says the map, Darth Cyber.", Darth Pein said, activating a spherical Holocron to confirm the location. "It is here, and soon it's power shall be mine."
"I don't see or sense anything on this asteroid.", Cyber points out.
"Not on... In!" Pein said as he throws a powerful punch shattering the asteroid in pieces.
"Doesn't look like it to me.", Cyber said, finding nothing.
Pein seething in anger glares at the Holocron and is on the verge of crushing it.
"It's fake!" Pein growls until Cyber places his hand on his shoulder, stopping him.
"If I may...", Cyber said taking the Holocron. "This is an ancient Holocron created by the Celestials not seen since the creation of this galaxy. Space both expands and changes. If we consider that and make modifications..."
"I see..." Pein said. "So, that's how it is."
Suddenly both Pein and Cyber receive a transmission.
"My lords, Kylo Ren, and the First Order have taken over the Fonder Shipyards, and he likely plans to take over Kuat.", an officer reports.
"Inform Darth Michanikos to leave Kuat and return to Skotadi. Send some men to aid him with his departure.", Pein said before ending the transmission.
"Ben Solo is truly desperate to find the Resistance and Rey.", Cyber said.
"He's nothing more than a False Heir of Darth Vader for her is nothing more than a terrified little boy who hides behind a mask.", Pein said. "Regardless that pointless war is meaningless to us but will make out job easier. However, are you ready to go through with it? Our goal will result in the loss of countless innocents."
Darth Cyber could only laugh at the word innocent as he stares at a pendant. "There are no innocents. Not anymore, and I'm one of the unfortunates to accept it, which is why I joined you. If this galaxy demands chaos, I'll give them chaos."
"Unfortunately the Tah'Nuhna are the only species capable of adjusting this old map to a modern setting, but those idiotic First Order wiped them out.", Pein said in frustration.
"Not exactly, there are some off-world, and I believe I know the one that is more than willing to help us with this and our cause.", Cyber said. "Plus will be a great asset."
"I appreciate your welcoming.", Ben said. "However, that's enough playing around."
"Y-Yes, we understand, Master!", Brandon said as he and the other initiates salute.
"The Jedi are not a military force, and I'm not a Jedi officially, so you can just call me Ben Skywalker.", Ben said. The name shocks all the initiates.
"He's never grouped up with anybody else...", Zekk said.
"In every fight, he's been caught up in where he ends up being the victor, even when it was said to be impossible to win...", Gaile said.
"The Strongest Jedi.", Leida said. "The descendant of the legendary Skywalkers!"
"Please, don't bring or mention my father and grandfather. All they've done is giving me misery and trouble that I don't want."
With the introductions done, the Unity launches and jumps to hyperspace.
Planet Occupied by the First Order...
A small ship exits out of hyperspace and approaches the planet.
"Looks like our asset is in the planet allied with the First Order.", Pein said.
"You go get him, while I create a distraction.", Cyber said, entering the escape pod.
"Cyber... Let it all out.", Pein said before the door closes.
"Gladly.", Cyber said before the pod launches. "I'll kill them all!"
(Ending Song - Transformers Beast Wars II Ending - Yume no Iru Basho)
Note: I don't own any of this.
The ending comprises of each Jedi Rangers sleeping in their rooms with Ben Skywalker, the only one awake, standing in the ship bridge staring out to the vastness of space.
Leida Mothma's room is Chandrila theme with some Naboo and Alderaan architectures and a holo of Mon Mothma holding an infant Leida next to her bed.
Bradon Jenson's room resembles a blacksmith workshop with multiple primitive weapons like bows, swords, and axes hanging on the wall.
Bali Payton's room is a Dathomirian theme with a cauldron in the center of the room, some desks holding tools, and multiple ingredients stored on shelves.
Gaile Gaze's room resembles a library with scrolls, books, and Holocrons scattered all over the floor. The ceiling is a star chart—paintings of different wars hanging on the walls.
Damien Faro's room is a Corellian theme with many decors formerly belonging to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
Zekk's room is a Coruscant theme filled with many rich and luxurious decorations.
Alice Ty's room resembles that of Yoda's hut with simple basic needs and nothing more.
