Disclaimer: I do not own either RWBY or Star Wars

He had been a bit worried, but it seemed they were doing okay… except Sun and Neptune were nowhere to be seen.

"Did they get themselves killed?" Wayle muttered as he observed the battle below. Team RWBY were engaging the droid, or walker, Wayle wasn't certain, but he sensed a pilot, so it might actually be a walker.

Yang, after having taken a beating, being rammed through a few pillars and then punched hard had for a moment looked like she might be in trouble, that is before her hair started glowing and she stopped the next punch before simply breaking the entire arm, leaving it armless, the other having been detached before he arrived.

Then it kicked out and sent her flying right past her teammates, although a prompt command from Ruby and Blake sent her Gambol Shroud flying over to Yang who grabbed on to it, letting Blake stop her flight. But instead of halting her motion entirely, she instead sent her off in an arc around, trying to use her like a wrecking ball against their opponent.

It simply jumped back, avoiding the attack. But before it could mount a counterattack, or retreat, Ruby and Weiss combined their respective powers to freeze its joints, immobilising it, letting Yang's next pass hammer right into it, sending it flying into pieces, revealing Roman Torchwick, who Wayle presumed must have been the pilot.

But just when they were about to get to him another walker appeared, dropping down from somewhere above. It aimed the two cannons on its arms at Blake and prepared to fire. Except that Wayle was suddenly there in front of it.

Wayle didn't know what exactly had driven him to get there so quickly, he didn't think he could move quite that fast. Nor had he ever felt so focused, so clear. Everything seemed to move at fractions of their normal speed, and Wayle could somehow see the weaknesses in the walker. He created a focused burst of the Force right inside one particularly glaring weak point, the resulting blast tearing the machine apart like someone had forgotten to properly weld the pieces together.

"Wayle?!" Four surprised voices rang out behind him. He could hear Roman say something about how unfairly ridiculous these kids were, or something to that effect.

Without a word he immediately sent a burst of Force Lightning at the robber and criminal mastermind.

But just before it hit a figure dropped down in front and blocked it with her parasol. It was the petite girl/woman from earlier, most likely having recovered from his distraction and headed here to back up her ward. Well, at least she seemed to be working like some sort of bodyguard, although one could never be certain, especially not with irregular organisations like this unholy cooperation.

Roman straightened out behind the cover of his henchwoman and faced the group that had gathered in front of them.

"Ladies, Ice queen."

"Hey!" Came Weiss' indignant reply.

"Guy with unreasonable abilities." He turned towards Wayle. "Always a pleasure." He raised a hand in a mocking greeting. "Neo, if you would…"

The girl bowed silently with that confident smile of hers and pointed her umbrella towards them again. Yang rushed forward to strike at them, but when she reached them and punched out they just shattered like glass, complete with the relevant sound. Confused, Yang looked around before the sound of a Bullhead reached them and they saw one fly away with Roman and the so called 'Neo', the former waving good bye.

"So I guess he got a new henchman." Yang sounded kind of crossed, maybe she was just annoyed that he got away? Still…

"Do you not mean henchwoman?" Wayle suddenly spoke up. A small laughter came from the direction of Ruby.

"No, just no." Yang looked unappreciative.

"I didn't know you did bad puns Wayle." Blake spoke up.

"What?" Wayle looked confused before he realised what they meant. "That is a perfectly legitimate way of saying it, as a matter of fact, it would be more appropriate in this case." He looked slightly panicked at the unexpected misunderstanding.

A giggle could be heard from three out of four members of team RWBY. Weiss didn't make a sound, instead glaring at Wayle.

Suddenly she spoke up. "Why are you here? Did you follow us?" Her eyes narrowed.

"Oh, who cares? He…" Yang started speaking, her mood seemingly recovered.

"No." He interrupted her. "She has all right to ask." He sighed. "Yes, I followed you. I saw you all leave and felt that you might get into trouble. It seems that my hunch was correct." He looked apologetically at the girls.

"I see. Well, I've had some time to think things over, and while I can't just ignore your deception, it would be an insult to the lessons learned during Blake's… 'incident', to not give you a chance, you have after all not done anything wrong towards us as of yet…" Her gaze softened a little before hardening again. "But if I find out that your deception runs deeper, I will not forgive you, do you understand?"

"Your terms are reasonable your Majesty." Wayle smiled and gave a mock bow. "I hope that we can at least be on good terms again." The last part was said with a more sombre look on his face.

Weiss spluttered a little before getting herself back on track. "Yes, so you had better give us an explanation once we get back, and not just some small titbit about your past, I want to hear an explanation about those powers of yours!"

Wayle cringed a little before giving a nod of his head.

"Did you just say…?" Yang looked at Weiss with a teasing look on her face.

"No." Wayle immediately intervened while Weiss looked confused. He sighed again. "Let us just get back to the academy, it is getting late, and we have a normal day tomorrow."

"Oh yeah, let's go everyone!" Yang said cheerfully while a certain glimmer seemed to have entered her eyes.

As they all started walking Ruby suddenly stopped and looked around. "Wait? Where is Sun and Neptune?"

"Eh, they're probably fine. They're not the types to bite the dust that easily." Yang simply dismissed Ruby's concern with a smile and waved them on.

-Break—

Finding that their room was too small after several other people, mainly team JNPR but also Latune and Amara, had either wanted to hear as well or, in Amara's case, was dragged into it by Wayle who had no intention of explaining on his own, they had procured an empty classroom, on the condition that they leave it by midnight in the same condition as when they arrived and that the teachers were allowed to listen in as well.

So now they all sat around the classroom while Wayle and a very reluctant Amara stood by the teacher's desk. Blake had no idea what to expect, and had to admit to feeling very interested.

"Can we start with why there are so many people here?" Wayle spoke up, a hint of annoyance on his voice.

"Cause they want to hear, what else could it be?" Yang responded with a shrug.

Wayle just sighed and massaged his temple. "I suppose I will just have to start with something very basic and important. Amara and I, were not born on Remnant. As a matter of fact, we were not even born on the same planet."

A variety of expressions came to the people in the room. Ruby and Jaune looked completely confused, Weiss had a kind of incredulous look, as if she wanted to call bullshit here and now, Yang looked somewhat interested, but didn't otherwise seem to care, Pyrrha and Latune had a combination of fascination and disbelief on their faces, Nora had a similar expression to Ruby, but also looked really amused, Ren and Professor Goodwitch had the same expression as before, Professor Port was unreadable with all his facial hair, Doctor Oobleck had a mixture of intrigue and understanding and Ozpin simply raised an eyebrow.

Blake herself simply felt several questions run through her mind, things like: 'Planet?' or 'Not on remnant?' were the most prominent.

Finally Ozpin broke the silence. "Please do clarify, it almost sounds like you claim to be from another world."

"In a manner of speaking, that is exactly what I said. We come from a place where technology is leaps and bounds ahead, and many different species travel the stars. But we don't have Aura, or if we do, it is very faint and incapable of being utilised in the same way." Wayle adopted a teaching tone.

"Many different species? And travel the stars you say? Forgive me, but that sounds quite unbelievable." Ozpin continued trying to pick Wayle's words apart.

"Of course. To you it will sound like some kind of tall tale, a fantasy I am certain…" Wayle started talking again before Amara spoke up.

"But I'm also here, and I support his story. Besides, we didn't really exist just a few months ago, did we?" Her tone contained a slightly mocking tone.

"Certainly, none of us have been able to find any records pertaining to either of you." General Ironwood suddenly spoke up from the back of the room. When had he arrived?

"Yes, that alone does give some credibility to your story but…" Ozpin continued where the general left off with no hint of surprise at his appearance.

"But that alone is no proof, I am well aware of that fact. I will admit to being quite well versed in the art of deceit, I have convinced similar people that taller tales were the truth. Although I may not have been playing entirely fair to be honest." A small smirk formed on Wayle's lips as he spoke the last bit.

Ozpin raised his eyebrow further at this remark. "Assume that you are telling us the truth, where are all of these species you speak of?"

"Far, far away. I have no concrete evidence, but my suspicion is that it lies in another galaxy, or a parallel dimension. I have several facts that support either theory."

Amara frowned at Wayle. "Or maybe we are just out in the far Outer Rim. You know that they are unknown lands with many unseen and unheard of phenomena."

"While the theory does hold merit, there is an immense flaw in it." Wayle had an amused smirk on his lips.

"And what would that be?" Amara's return look seemed to say, "I don't have time for this right now."

"We are too close to the centre of the galaxy to even be in the close Outer Rim. Why, had this planet been in our galaxy it would have been a Core world! And we both know that such is not the case."

Their conversation brought confusion to most of the listeners as they tried to make sense of what they are saying.

"Besides, there are too few living things within this part of the galaxy. So I can only assume that this galaxy is less generous on the habitable planets, much less on the number of sentient species." Wayle gave a small shrug.

"How can you possibly know that!?" Weiss decided to voice one of the most prominent questions that had appeared in Blake's mind.

"He can…" Amara's suddenly softer voice startled most listeners.

"Huh?" Was all Weiss could respond.

"He can. It is one of his unique traits." Her voice became firmer again. "How could I have forgotten about that?" She smacked her forehead.

"What do you mean?" Professor Goodwitch almost sounded like she demanded an explanation.

"We wield a power known as the Force. It bears a few similarities with your Aura and Semblances, but is far more versatile, although in some aspects a Semblance has the potential to outperform it." Wayle looked towards Professor Goodwitch, partially because it was she who asked the question, but there were also a hint of meaning, an indication that she came to mind in that case.

"I see, and like Semblance it varies from person to person?" Pyrrha prodded for more information.

"Yes and no, as I said, the Force is more versatile and a broad part of it is accessible to all who wield it. In exchange, only a select few have the necessary trait to actually use it. But to finish explaining how I can possibly know if there is life on nearby planets, some Force users have special or rare abilities that set them apart from the others. In my case, I can stretch my senses exceptionally far, allowing me to sense the Force even in other solar systems. And since the Force is present in all things, it means I can sense everything within a radius."

"Well, anyone can sense the Force in a radius around them. The main difference is the radius itself. I, for example, can easily sense the layout of the academy building we are in as well as the number of people in it." Amara started explaining a bit as well. "Wayle on the other hand… He can sense approximately, according to his Master, about halfway across the galaxy, give or take a few light-years." The casual tone belied the absurdity of her statement.

Once again the different people had different expressions, although Blake was too stunned to properly take them in, only really noticing the confusion on Ruby and Jaune's faces.

"Uh, how can years have anything to do with distance?" Jaune sheepishly asked.

"When talking about space, distance is often measured in the distance covered by the light in a year. To put it simply, light can travel the entirety of Remnant in a matter of seconds. A light-year is therefore an extremely long distance." Pyrrha tried to explain in a way Jaune would understand. His confusion did seem to be reduced slightly, although this was then exchanged for a look of sheer amazement.

"Of course, it would be absurd to attempt to take in all that at once, so I limit myself to smaller areas within that radius, and I need to focus and meditate to achieve my full range." Wayle finished the explanation.

"Can you give us an example of one of the more common powers Force users possess that we have not seen or heard about before?" Ozpin spoke up again.

"I can give an example that you have seen but that is not immediately apparent." Wayle gave an amused smile.

"Would it happen to be some form of precognition?" Pyrrha questioned.

"Yes, that would make sense. It would most certainly explain how he can react so inhumanly quickly." Ren's monotonous agreement caught Blake off guard.

Come to think of it… He does seem to have some form of knowledge of events yet to pass.

"Pre-what now?" Jaune looked confused again.

Wayle started laughing out loud, startling everyone in the room. "Precognition, it refers to the ability to see the future." He chuckled again. "To think you would reach such a conclusion… As to be expected of one of our most experienced fighters and one of our most skilled fighters. Yes, we possess precognition. Although it is limited, we can only see a few moments ahead without deep meditation." He gave a slight bow.

"Or maybe you should mention Mind Trick?" Amara suddenly chipped in.

"What is that?" Weiss' eyes narrowed again. Blake felt a slight worry.

Wayle sighed. "Mind Trick. Amongst the many powers Force users possess, it is one of those I hoped you would never have to become aware of. Mind Trick, as its name suggests, is a power that tricks someone's mind. Of course, depending on the deception, most individuals can resist, with the most wilful able to ignore the effects completely."

"And just so you know, Aura seems to be able to blunt the effect, improving your resistance without even trying. Trust me, I've tried." Amara's smile clashed horribly with her actual words.

"You mean to say that you have been trying to control our minds?!" Weiss seemed to still be in a foul mood, and this made her react loudly.

"I can't hope to achieve Mind Control." Amara almost purred. "Wayle, on the other hand…" She let the implication hang in the air.

"Wayle…?" Blake was surprised at her own tone of voice. She felt like a deep pit had formed in her stomach and her voice was somewhat shaky.

A sadness seemed to pass over Wayle's features. "I suppose it is for the best… As Amara wants to imply, I am capable of true Mind Control. But, it is something I loathe using, and it is immeasurably much more difficult than just influencing the mind to believe a certain thing is true. Mind Trick convinces the affected that something is the truth, like for example that I am actually expected by the headmaster or that I am not the person you are looking for." He chuckled slightly, for a short moment seeming to remember something funny.

"I see. And have you used this power since coming here?" General Ironwood raised the question that no one wanted to ask.

"No. And while I understand that it can be hard to believe someone who you have just been told can control your minds, let me point out this one thing. What kind of fool would let the people he control even get the mildest notion of such being the case? The very fact that you are worried about this instead of just dismissing the very notion is a point in favour of you not being Mind Controlled by me. Besides, if it is true that Aura can protect against Mind affecting powers then it would be downright impossible for me."

"Unless you use Sorcery instead of just the advanced form of Mind Trick." The somewhat innocent smile on Amara's face once again belied her actual words. Blake could literally see Wayle's annoyance at her.

"Damn it Amara. That was uncalled for." There was a subtle hint of genuine anger in his voice now.

"I thought you were going to actually tell them more or less everything." Her smile did not change, although a certain feeling of amusement could be found in her eyes.

"Sorcery?" The voice belonged to Miss Goodwitch.

"It is a special discipline of the Force used by certain people that can be far more potent, although it requires even more focus and more often than not involves a greater price and sometimes even rituals." Wayle's explanation involved just a hint of regret.

"Now Mister Tyran, I remember you having at some point mentioned an order that contained a large number of tyrants. Am I to assume that some of the things you have mentioned are specific to them?" Doctor Oobleck suddenly questioned Wayle.

"Hmm? Well, yes and no. It might be easier to explain a fundamental part of the Force. It is divided into two parts, commonly called the Light and Dark sides of the Force. The Dark side is one of dark negative emotions such as hate, fear and suffering."

Wayle took a deep breath.

"The order I mentioned is an order of Dark side users known as the Sith. Sorcery is most certainly something specific to the Sith, and requires a deep atonement to the Dark side. Mind Control is also considered as such, although Mind Trick is considered neutral."

"Interesting, and can you say any other powers that would be considered Dark side?" Oobleck continued.

"Force Lightning, the power with which both I and Amara shoots electricity is also considered Dark side. As a matter of fact, it is considered one of the most basic Dark side abilities and as such even those who walk the path of Light has been known to be able to use it, although they would still have to call upon the Dark side, which is quite tempting and which often calls for someone to use more of it, sometimes even consuming a person completely."

"And that is why you call the Sith tyrants? As they are people who use powers like this with little to no remorse you consider them tyrants?" Yang suddenly decided to actually contribute to the discussion.

"Not entirely, many of them are tyrants in the literal sense as well, lording over those 'lesser'." Wayle almost spat the last word out.

"I get the feeling that you are not quite the typical Dark side user Wayle." Yang continued.

Suddenly Amara's cruel laughter rang out in the room. "While it is true that he can act much unlike most Dark side users, he was also regarded as one of the most powerful apprentices around. Why, I can clearly remember the actual death match that broke out between two powerful Sith when he was considered ready for becoming an apprentice. Well, then his Master, Darth Melaion, came and killed them both, taking him as his apprentice." She was still slightly chuckling. Wayle was looking at her murderously.

"Darth?" Once again Ozpin raised a question.

"Darth is the title awarded to those who are considered the greatest of the Sith order, the Dark Lords of the Sith. And even then, there were still those who considered it a slight miracle that his master still lived." Amara had stopped laughing, but an unsettling smile was over her features.

"He was still more powerful than me."

"Really now? Even when you truly tapped into the power of the dark side?" Her smile became slightly coy.

Wayle sighed. "Even then he was more experienced and more skilled than me. Besides, had I killed him I would have been elevated to the position of Darth myself. That would have been tedious, especially since I would prefer to use less of the Dark side, not more."

Amara just laughed again. Just what kind of person is Wayle really?

Author's notes: I must say, this might be the longest chapter I have written with less than half of it being just parroting cannon. What do you feel? Is it a bit forced? Do you feel anyone is OOC? Please do review, because I really meant it when I said it helped. I hope you enjoyed and that you have a nice day.
