Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars or Star Trek and unfortunately never will. This is just out of pure entertainment and will gain no profit from it.
Spock cocked his head to the side, while Pike sighed. He just knew that what the doctors was going to say will create more questions then answers.
"What is it, Doctor?" Pike finally asked after a few seconds of silence.
"Well… according to all the data we have gathered those two by all accounts are human. Their genetic markers all support this conclusion, yet there is evidence that they aren't from Earth or any Terra colony." The doctor paused as he let that information sink in. "However, what is more concerning were the scans. The older one seems to be in his mid-thirties, plus his body has gone through hell and back; he has multiple melded bones, has suffered from countless second degree burns and in recent weeks has healed from two severe cuts that were cauterized on the field."
The doctor exhaled and shook his head not believing half of what the datapad was telling him. "In all honesty, through all my years as a Starfleet doctor, I have never seen a Starfleet officer with such extensive medical history as the two of them. The younger one is about in his late teens; has similar healed burns and badly healed laceration on his back, though they are quite old."
Pike's eyes narrowed, the last was worrisome, but it wasn't their business. Luckily it was Spock that changed the direction of the conversation.
"What is the evidence that you mentioned earlier?"
The questioned cleared the doctor's mind, "yes… I was getting to that. The worse injury he has and I believe the most recent, is that he has no right arm." He informed with a cold voice, turning his datapad towards the two officers that were giving him incredulously expressions.
Spock stared at the information intently, "… astounding" he said once he finished.
Pike turned to his science officer, hoping that he would explain.
"Captain, the limb that we see right now is completely cybernetic. No known species has made such advances in prosthetic, looking at the specs he should have no limitations in the usage of his arm."
Pike whistled that is impressive, "all these still leaves one mayor question… where do they come from?"
The doctor exhaled, "unfortunately we will have to wait for them to awaken to find out."
As though by magic or purely coincidence the elder of the two males began to stir. After a few moments of tensed silence… faster then any of them had anticipated; the man sprinted to his feet, took a defensive stance and pulled out a small cylinder object from his belt. Once he turned it on, Captain Pike realized that it was a type of weapon and one that preferably he didn't want to come in contact with.
"Who are you, where am I and where is Anakin?" the man with shoulder length auburn hair demanded, however his face became blank after the first few seconds of confusion.
Pike held his hands up, telling the startled man that he meant him no harm.
"My name is Christopher Pike, captain of the USS Enterprise and this is my first officer, Commander Spock," he responded as calmly as possible and tried to remember what had been the finally question.
Fortunately, Spock answered for him, "your companion is on the bed next you."
The man glanced to the side and visibly relaxed, even to the point of deactivating his weapon and putting it back on his belt. However, his expression never changed and took a few steps back closer to the younger male, standing protectively between him and them.
"My name is Jedi Knight, Obi-wan Kenobi, and he is my Padawan, Anakin Skywalker," he told them passively reading there every expression, but also going so far as to read their emotions using the Force. They were at war and he was not in a positions for such luxuries, especially because of the taller individual, Spock. His face held no emotion.
"Where are we and what is it that you want?"
Pike cocked an eyebrow, slightly taken aback by the steel in his voice. "You are at Starfleet's Starbase 1, orbiting the planet Earth. We wish only answers from you." He replied though continue quickly seeing the man's body tense. "We found the two of you, unconscious within your starships and immediately brought you to our medbay. We don't know how you got into such a state or how your starships piloted themselves to our Starbase?"
Obi-wan inclined his head in acknowledgement and turned to his Padawan, however never letting down his guard. His gaze briefly landing on the hibernating droid. "I am unaware of what happened to us, though to answer your second question our droids must have sensed that it was best for them to land at the nearest planet with sentient life."
The man fell silence as he placed his palm over the teen's forehead. Spock studied the man intently unsure of what he was doing. Out of all the humans he had ever met, none had ever reacted in such a manner.
The commander and captain walked closer to the medical bed, waiting for the man to say something.
Obi-wan smiled fondly at his Padawan and sighed. He was going to be fine.
"He'll be waking up in an hour or so; his body only needs time to rest."
"Fascinating, I was unaware that humans possessed such telepathic abilities." Spock stated.
Obi-wan arched an eyebrow and for a second a spark of amusement appeared within his eyes.
"Normal humans don't," he said. "However, I was using the Force and it grants a Jedi the ability to do a number of things that one could classify as impossible." Noting their confused expression, "You've never heard of the Force or of Jedi have you."
Pike reluctantly shook his head. "Though you do not deny that you are human."
"Why deny, what is obviously true."
"Yet you don't come from Earth or one of the Terra colonies?" Pike continued.
Obi-wan shook his head, "obviously, we are not from around here and this Earth you speak of I have never heard of it. What part of the galaxy are we at?"
With a silent command, Spock gave the Jedi his datapad. With careful fingers he studied the planet and star maps. "I do not recognize these maps or constellations… even the form of the galaxy is unfamiliar."
Pike could see the confusion and the tiniest hint of alarm in the lines around his eyes.
"This is troubling," he murmured as he looked at his white wristband, pressing a few buttons a orange light lit. "Force, I'm unable to get a signal." He looked down at the droid and gave him a small tap on the head. It responded with a series of beeps that sounded from annoyed to happy to end with worry.
"Anakin will be fin Artoo, he's just been over doing it these last few nights." The droid gave a high pitched whistled, making the Vulcan flinch in unsuspecting pain. Obi-wan, fidgeting with his wrist band didn't notice his slight discomfort and chuckled at the droid. "Yes that is true."
Pike watched the exchange, lost from only able to understand half of what was being said.
"Artoo, you have greater range… see if you can reach somebody from the Republic. Our absence should have been felt by know." From the droid a small satellite came straight out and started rotating, searching.
"Forgive me, but this is an unsettling situation. However, I believe you have questions, as do I, and perhaps we both can provide some answers."
"It's a logical exchange," commented Spock.
Pike nodded and leaned against the opposing bed. He could see that their companion wasn't interested in leaving Anakin. Spock remained standing next to his captain.
Obi-wan seeing the two man get comfortable sat on the edge of Anakin's bed, near his head.
There was a tense silence, each side waiting for the other to go first. Disliking the state of things and sensing that the alien could wait all day, Pike asked the first question that popped into his head.
"So you can understand that contraption?"
Obi-wan couldn't help his amusement, yet decided to humor the captain. "More or less, though I'll admit that my commlink does have a translator which shows me what he is saying in Aurebesh (I'm ignoring that High Galactic exists), Anakin on the other hand is quite fluent. He is an Astromech Droid and is designed for a multitude of functions, one of which is piloting." Said droid made a few beeps and even Obi-wan didn't need his translator to understand what it wanted. "His name is R2-D2 and I highly recommended you use it."
Spock raised an eyebrow, "he is just a machine. Logically speaking they do not have emotions to offend."
Obi-wan bowed his head, "normally you would be correct, yet Anakin has made several modifications to him and well… Artoo… has developed a personality of his own."
Spock observed the droid closely and not seeing anything contradicting the man's statement, decided to believe him for the time being.
"Now and I hope I am not offending you by asking, but what are you, Commander Spock?"
Spock incline his head and answered, "I am Vulcan and you do not offend me. Your question is logical and my species lives through following logic and not emotions."
"How did you come by our sector of the galaxy?" Pike finally asked the questioned that had been plaguing his mind since before the man awakened.
Obi-wan rubbed his beard thoughtfully, "that I am not completely certain of. If anything my Padawan should know more about the matter than I. He was the one that was in charge of planning our course." He sighed as he passed his hand through his shoulder length hair. "You see, the ships that we have are prototypes and Anakin was tasked with checking out how well the hyperdrive-rings would react to a long distance jump, also see if he see the possibilities of any modifications. I decided to go along just to make sure he didn't get himself in any trouble… nonetheless it seems to have found us. Now we are in an unknown region, far away from our home and from what I am seeing without a form to get in touch with the Republic."
After a few more seconds, Artoo gave up on his assignment and beeped in resignation.
Having made up his mind, Pike asked something that went directly against Starfleet regulations. "What is this Republic that you keep mentioning?"
"And if possible can you show us one of your maps?" Spock added for once not stating regulation and reprimanding his unorthodox question.
"We are a long way from home, if you are asking that question. Nonetheless, the governing body that rules our system and many others is known as the Galactic Republic, and it has been in place for thousands of years." Obi-wan explained, "Artoo can you bring up a recent galactic map?"
In an instance a highly detailed holographic star map filled the room (think of ATOC). "Zoom out Artoo." Soon it was just a small holograph between the three of them.
"Fascinating," Spock said. "It seems…" he trailed off unsure of how to address the man.
Seeing his plight, Obi-wan offered up the information, "Knight Kenobi and Padawan Skywalker."
Inclining his head, Spock continued, "Knight Kenobi, from all that we have discussed and seen… it is possible that you come from a different galaxy all together."
Obi-wan became silent, thinking of what that statement implied and fell into a light meditation, referring to the Force for answers. It was then that he gathered that the Force felt different, the darkness that perturbed the light constantly was now none existent. The Force here felt untainted and untouched, which surprised the Jedi even more, there were no Force-sensitives in this galaxy.
Pike turned to his first officer in amazement, "impossible travel between galaxy is unheard of. The distance is to great, no ship could make that jump within a species lifetime."
"There is no other logical explanation for this, Captain." The Vulcan countered, "we have already seen that our technology is vastly different. There is no indication that their interstellar capacities cannot accomplish such a task."
"What Commander Spock says is the truth. I can feel as much from the Force; this is not our Galaxy." Obi-wan interrupted their debate. He placed his hand softly on Anakin's forehead, sending waves of clam and reassurance through their training bond. He could already feel his Padawan awakening.
Pike and Spock tensed feeling that soon they would have another voice in their discussions.
"Anakin."
The teen slowly opened his eyes, "Ma- Master?" he asked unsteadily.
"Yes, Anakin, many things have happened while you slept. The most important is that we are not in our own Galaxy at the moment."
There it is.
Chapter two, and I know not much action. Yet let's be honest in crossovers like this the first few chapters are slow and completely introductory. Now I will warn about this now, while I am a bigger fan of Star Trek and have been for a much longer time then Star Wars… but that does not mean that I will show less favor to one or the other. Or at least not intentionally. I know Star Wars well and I will be focusing on the relationship between Obi-wan and Anakin. It is something I highly enjoy in other stories and I find them to be really interesting characters to read and write.
Review please!
I will also admit this right now that I do plan to sooner or later (maybe when we return to the Star Wars galaxy) make this story an AU. Hehehe
I'll like to thank; SAFADIO-RANGER-Bravo1and iltanen for following, and paladin3030, ryokocsi, and SupergodzillaSailorCosmos for favoriting this story and showing me your support. I hope you continue to like it.
SupergodzillaSailorCosmos: thank you I am glad that it got your interest. I would love to add Ahsoka to the story, but the timeline wouldn't fit quite right. Anakin is still Obi-wan's Padawan, even more so he has not married Padme yet, they have already decided that they will, they have just not been able to get away from the Temple/Senate look enough to do it. And yes there are to few stories in these fandoms, though one crossover that I enjoyed myself and it was Star Wars: Clone Wars crossovered with The Lord of the Rings, The Sky Warriors, both Ahsoka and Rex play important roles in it.
See you next time, MusingAIR.
