As Gandalf and Orion walked towards the sleeping warriors, Jack the monkey suddenly sprung himself at Gandalf and took his hat. Before Gandalf could react, Jack climbed up a tree, out of reach of the wizard.
"Curse of a primate" mumbled Gandalf as Jack mockingly waved the gray hat around.
"No harm done, Grey Pilgrim. Now how should we do this?" asked Orion.
"Let us wake them one group at a time" said Gandalf as he stroke Bill the Pony, the only other animal in the group besides Jack.
"Good idea. Which one do you want to start with?"
"Let us start with the Fellowship. They won't attack you if I tell them not to" said Gandalf as he moved to wake Frodo.
"Allow me" said Orion as he snapped his fingers.
At once, Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn, and Boromir started moving. The first one to be fully awake was Aragorn.
"Gandalf" he said before he took in Orion and the surroundings of the Kingswood. "I do believe some sort of magic is afoot. Whether it is Sauron's or Saruman's. I'm a not sure" said the to-be King.
"This magic is neither of theirs Aragorn" said Gandalf.
"It would be my magic that brought you into Westeros Young King" said Orion.
"So you were the one who sent the wretched birds at us" said Gimli darkly, dwarves not being the most likable fellows when the wake.
"Yes I did, but only to bring you to do a greater quest than your journey to destroy the Ring" said Orion, causing Frodo to widen his eyes.
"You know of the Ring?" asked the Hobbit.
"I do Master Baggins"
"Well you just stay away from Mister Frodo you wraith" said Sam as he got in front of Frodo and pointed his sword at Orion. Merry and Pippin moved to join Sam and mirrored him by pointing their swords at Orion, though Pippin, being the simple hobbit that he was, understood the situation the least among the Fellowship. Though when he saw Sam and Merry in front of Frodo will there weapons at Orion, he at once moved to join them, even if he didn't understand the situation. But everyone else thought that we was an ally of Sauron. While the rest of the Fellowship didn't move in front of Frodo or drew their weapons, they still had their hands on the hilts of strings of their weapons just in case Orion did something funny.
"Heh, have no fear Samwise Gamgee. I have no desire to hurt your little master or to take his little Ring. The only reason I took you out of Middle Earth was because I needed the Fellowship for a quest" said Orion.
"What do you mean by taking us out of Middle Earth?" asked Boromir.
"It means I took you out of your world and brought you into another one" said Orion.
"Another world. The boys at the Shire why never believe this" said Merry, always one to look at the brighter sides of things.
"Be quiet Merry" said Pippin.
"Why I'm just-" but stopped at what Pippin was staring at. A big thing that was covered in long brown hair with and snoring in a growly kind of way.
"What in the name of the Lonely Mountain is that?" asked Gimli as he positioned his axe towards Chewbacca in case the Wookiee moved.
"Is that an Orc?" asked Pippin.
"No, Orcs have hard, greasy skin" said Legolas.
"While this thing is hairier and bigger than any Orc I have ever seen finished Gimli.
"Have no fear Gimli, this is simply a Wookiee"
"A Wookiee?" said Boromir in confusion.
"Yes, he and the rest of them are to be your companions in the quest I got for you" said Orion.
"The rest of-" started Frodo but stopped mid-sentenced when he saw the other warriors that were brought to Westeros.
"Who are they?" asked Frodo.
"They are to be your fellow companions in the quest I got for you" said Orion.
"What quest?" asked Aragorn.
"I shall tell you when I wake the others" said Orion.
"We haven't established that we trust you" said Boromir.
"Yes, how do we know your not one of Sauron's spies sent to distract us from our quest" said Gimli.
"Because if I was one of Sauron's spies, I would of just killed you while you were asleep and take the Ring to Sauron" said Orion.
"...Well when you put it that way" said Sam as he lowered his sword.
"Though if the rest of you don't trust me, let it be up to your Ring-bearer" said Orion as he turned towards Frodo.
All eyes were on Frodo. Frodo honestly didn't know what to say. This man was a strange man that Frodo knew nothing about. Then again, Frodo knew nothing about Aragorn when he encountered him in the Prancing Pony, yet he trusted Strider and got safely(with just a stab) to Rivendell. And Gandalf seemed to trust him.
"I shall believe..."
"Orion, and thank you Master Baggins" said Orion as he bowed before the Hobbit. Seeing the peace between the Ring-Bearer and the Portal Master, the rest of the Fellowship sheathed their weapons.
"Now with that settled, I would like someone to help me retrieve my hat while Orion wakes the next group up" said Gandalf.
While the rest of the Fellowship either started helping Gandalf or just laughing or the whole thing, Orion decided which group he was going to wake up. He decided he would do the Galactic Heroes next. So he snapped his fingers and woke up Luke, Leia, Han, Lando, and Chewbacca. When Orion brought the droids over, he simply turned them off since droids didn't have consciousness. So while the snap of his finger revived the others, the droids were simply switched back on. When the Alliance heroes woke up, the first thing they noticed was that they were in a forest of some sort, that there was fifteen other people that were unconscious, and that their were ten other people that were either staring at them or were trying to get a hat back from a monkey.
"Whoa, I think we were hit harder than I thought" said Han as he took a look around. Chewbacca growled something Han, which only he and Threepio picked up.
"You said it Chewie" said Han.
"Good day Heroes of the Rebellion" said Orion as he, Frodo, Aragorn, and Boromir watched them get settle.
"Who are you, where are we" asked Luke, who's hand was on his lightsaber.
"Calm down Luke Skywalker. I am Orion of Aslan's Country. They are Frodo, Aragorn, and Boromir of Middle-Earth" said Orion. He would've mentioned Gandalf, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Legolas, and Gimli, but they were too busy getting Gandalf's hat back, while Sam was tending to Bill
"Aslan's Country, Middle-Earth, I've never heard of these planets" said Leia.
"Maybe there not planets, but just names of groups from different planets" said Lando.
"No Master Calrissian, you are wrong. When you were hit by my comet and yes I said my comet, it brought you into the land of Westeros. To put things simply, I took you to a planet that no ship can take you. Only by magic could you get to Westeros" said Orion.
"Magic? Well forgive me, but the people I ran into that knew magic were either Dathomir witches or some other kind of freak of nature" as he layed his hand on the holster of his blaster.
"Well Master Solo-" said Gandalf, who got his hat back from Jack, who was climbing through the trees with an arrow in his chest, as he was walking towards them with the rest of the Fellowship "-that there are good and bad magic wielders as there are good and bad people"
"Why did you take us from our world?" asked Luke.
"You seven, like the Fellowship and the ones that still remain asleep, are here for an important quest" said Orion.
"What kind of quest?" asked Leia.
"This land is in danger of madness and chaos, but I will go into details after I wake the others up" said Orion.
"Fair enough" said Luke Skywalker as he got up from the ground. He shook some leaves off and extended his hand to Orion.
"Luke Skywalker" he said as Orion took his hand. The reason Luke trusted him because his Jedi instincts could sense any ill-will or lies in a person and knew that Orion had none of those. With Luke aboard, the others got off the ground and made their introductions to the Fellowship. As the Rebels and the Fellowship socialized, Orion moved towards the next group, the Hogwarts student. It would of been simpler to do the ones that knew Aslan, but might as well save the easiest for last. He snapped his fingers, and just like the other two groups. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, and Luna started to awake.
"Ah, Bloody Hell, what happened" said Ron groggily as he sat up.
"Hmm, Ron, tell Mum just five more minutes" said Ginny, who was still laying on the ground.
"... I don't think were at the Burrow Ginny, or Hogwarts for the matter" said Harry as he took in the surroundings. His first thought was the Forbidden Forest, but the forest looked too unfamiliar. He looked at Orion and Gandalf, who were the closes to them. Harry's first thought was that Dumbledore was here, but once his eyes adjusted he saw that it was only an old man that looked like he carried himself quite well like Dumbledore.
"Who are you?" asked Harry as he pointed his wand at Orion.
"I'm Orion, this is Gandalf" said Orion as he introduced himself and the Grey Wizard.
"Where are we?" asked Neville when he found his voice.
"In another world"
But it wasn't Orion who said that, but Luna Lovegood, who was smiling as usual as if there wasn't a care in the world.
All heads turned towards her, even Orion. He wouldn't of guessed that someone would correctly answered that they were in another world. Gandalf knew in advanced as well, but he was an aged Wizard.
"What do you mean by another world?" asked Hermione.
"My father always said that when you woke up in a strange place that wasn't a dream, it means you've been summoned to another world for a quest" said Luna.
"That's absolutely bonkers" said Ron.
"That's absolutely correct" said Orion.
"...You mean that...we've been-" started Neville before Aragorn interrupted him.
"Pulled out of your world and placed into a new one with a job to do" said Aragorn, sensing that the young ones uneasiness of the whole situation.
"No, we've can't of been taken away. Not now. Sirius-" started Harry Potter, who's only concern was to save his godfather.
"Your godfather will be alright, Harry Potter. He was never at the Ministry" said Orion.
"What?"
"The image you saw in your head was placed to trick you into coming into the Ministry" said Orion.
Harry was taking this all in slowly. He was going to take five of his friends to the ministry to die just because he overreacted. He felt both foolish and ashamed. The other D.A. members knew what Harry was thinking of and felt really sorry for him.
"What are they talking about?" asked Pippin.
"Quiet Pip" said Merry.
"I know it's never fun to be made a fool Harry Potter, but it is better to be fooled with no consequences to doing something foolish and endangering others. Though I shouldn't be talking about endangering people" said Orion.
"What do you mean?" asked Hermione.
"As Miss Lovegood said, I only bring others out of their worlds into other ones for quests, and important ones at that"
"Blimey, why do these sort of things always happen to us?' asked Ron to Harry and Hermione.
"If it makes you feel better kid, your not the only one" said Han as Boromir and Lando laughed at Solo's joke.
"What quest do you want us to do?" asked Harry.
"I'll tell you when I wake the others up"
"Alright" said Harry as he got up with his fellow classmates. Harry moved to talk to Aragorn and Luke, Ron to Han and Lando since they seemed the most friendly and cool, Neville to the Hobbits since they were the only ones that didn't intimidate him, Hermione and Ginny to Leia since she was the only other woman in the group that was awake, while Luna went over to Jack the monkey who was resting on Artoo's dome.
Now Orion had to wake the Pirates. Hopefully the others wouldn't think badly of them, since most people were taught that pirates were wicked people. He snapped his fingers and like the others, the pirates woke up.
"Hmm, Mr. Gibbs-bring me my morning Rum" said Jack as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. Orion could tell that several people behind him were mouthing the word Rum behind him.
"Mr. Sparrow-"
"Captain Sparrow" corrected Jack as he took in his surroundings and the people in it.
"Oh bugger" said Jack when he realized two things; he wasn't on the Pearl and the Pearl was nowhere in sight.
"Jack, where are we?" asked Elizabeth.
"Well lass...no idea" said Jack.
"Who are you people?" asked Will.
"Hmm, would you look at that Elf, he looks like you. From a certain point of view" said Gimli.
"I do believe you may be right Gimli" said Legolas.
"Captain Jack Sparrow, Mr. Turner, Miss Swann, Captain Barbossa. I am Orion. I was the one that spirited you away from the Black Pearl" said Orion.
"Why thank ye for this bit of news Lad, but we four be in the middle of something" said Barbossa.
"No you weren't. You were sailing to find fresh water. If you were fighting or holding a meeting among your own, that would be a good reason not to spirit you away"
"You know I do believe the Lad might be right. Why bother with fresh water when one can have some Rum. I for one could go for a mug or two" said Jack.
"Jack, how is it that we are suddenly separated from the Pearl and it's crew into a different realm and all you can think about is Rum?" asked Elizabeth.
"I am a man of simple needs lass. I will handle any situation I'm in as long as I have some rum in the belly" said Jack.
Orion just shook his head at the whole thing. The members of the Fellowship thought that Jack reminded them of the kind of suspicious men you would see in the Prancing Pony, The Rebels thought that Jack reminded them of a certain smuggler while the Hogwarts students thought that Jack was more loony that Luna, except Luna.
"Captain Sparrow, if you let me explain, I took you out of the Caribbean to help the people of these lands. You and your companions have done many great deeds among the Caribbean as famous pirates" said Orion, knowing full well that the others all heard him say pirate.
"And your point being?" asked Jack.
"Hah, I need you expertise to help the people of these lands and conquer the wicked people that mean to destroy it" said Orion.
"Ah, well that be it" said Barbossa.
"What be it?" asked Orion.
"What's in it for us Mate" said Jack.
"...That's it. Your not worried about the danger, who you might have to help or kill, or what you have to do. You just want to know what's in it for you?" said Orion.
"Now there's a smart lad. That is precisely what I want to know. I've only done good deeds when I get something in return" said Jack.
"Is that true?" asked Will.
"Have you've ever known me for doing a good deed without something benefitting me?" asked Jack.
"Well-um" started Will.
"There was- no that was in his favor" said Elizabeth.
"Exactly" said Jack as he turned back towards Orion and the others. If Orion was worried about the others distrusting Jack and the others being Pirates, he nothing to worry about because the ones behind him thought that Jack was either very strange or very funny, the funny part being on the young wizards and the hobbits opinion.
"You want something in return, fine. When you've completed this task you've been given, my Master will reward you in the bounties only a sovereign could dream of" said Orion.
"Hmm, a sovereign ay, that sounds real interesting. All right, I'll help you and your fellow gents into whatever this quest thing be." said Jack as he took Orion's hand and shook it.
"Well I for one would like to know what the others would receive" said Barbossa as he took a couple of steps towards Orion.
"...I happen to know you and Sparrow are arguing who is the proper captain of the Black Pearl. I could settle that dispute by giving you your own ship" said Orion to Barbossa. He had to be careful with this one, for he was a wicked man before he was resurrected.
"My own ship. Now what ship could a whelp like you offer me?" asked Barbossa.
"...The same ship that brought you into this world, the Phantom's Wail" said Orion.
"Catchy name" Han said to Lando who nodded. Boromir, who found the entire debate pointless' only rolled his eyes at the smugglers little side chat.
"Hmm, deal" said Barbossa as he took Orion's hand like Jack, though his grip was more firm and formal.
"Great now as for you two-" he said to Elizabeth and Will.
"I ask for nothing. I desire only one thing and you couldn't give it to me" said Will. Elizabeth looked at her fiancée in sadness, for she knew that Will was thinking about his father of the Dutchmen.
"He may look like you but the lad be more depressing" said Gimli to Legolas quietly so as not to offend Will.
"Well I'm glad that's all settle, now what quest are we be taking part of?" asked Jack.
"I shall go into the details after I wake our last group"
"Best not get in your way then. Now while you be doing that, I'll be standing by that big, hairy fella, savvy" said Jack as he walked away to stand next to Chewbacca. Barbossa just rolled his eyes and took a place next to Aragorn and Harry, Jack the monkey leaping onto his shoulder as soon as he got close. Will just nodded at Orion before moving to stand next to Boromir and the Droids, passing Legolas and Gimli on the way.
"The lad be looking more like you on closer perspective elf" said Gimli.
"I just wish his mood would match mine" said Legolas, for he sensed a great unease lingering around Will.
Elizabeth nodded to Orion before she took place with Leia, Ginny, and Hermione.
"And know for you five" said Orion.
"Something tells me you know these ones better than you know the rest of us" remarked Gandalf.
"You can say that"
"So you met these ones before" said Luke.
"Except the long dark haired one, I've sent the others into different worlds before" said Orion.
"So this shouldn't be odd for them" said Aragorn.
"Lucky blokes" said Ron before Hermione elbows him in gut to shut him up.
Orion stared at the young people that layed on the ground, bracing himself for meeting Aslan's favorites, snapped his fingers. The Pevensies and Caspian stirred for a few second before Peter sat up. When he looked up he was staring at Orion as Gandalf, Aragorn, Harry, and Luke stood next to him.
"Who are you?" asked Peter as he pointed his sword at Orion.
"I thought you said you knew each other?" asked Luke.
"I've seen them, I've haven't officially met them" said Orion.
"Do you know us?" asked Susan as she shook Caspian awake (five more minutes).
"No, but you no my Master"
"Your master?" asked Edmund.
"Who is your master?" asked Peter, slowly lowering his sword but still keeping it pointed at Orion.
"Does this help?" said Orion as he pointed to the lion sigil on his chest. Peter immediately lowered his sword, for it was the same sigil as the one on his shield.
"You master, is he-" started Peter before Lucy interrupted.
"It's Aslan. Aslan was the one that summoned us" squealed Lucy.
"Yes my dear, Aslan has sent you out of Narnia for a very important quest" said Orion.
"But we were in the middle of a task Aslan gave us when you called us" said Susan as she helped Caspian up.
"Yes for this task came up and we need the Kings and Queens of Narnia for this task" he then looked at Caspian "All of them"
"...I do not think I am ready" said Caspian.
"And for that, I believe Aslan would say that would make you more qualified" said Orion to Caspian.
Aragorn looked at Caspian and realized that he was in a similar situation to Aragorn. A person that is to be King that thinks he be not worthy to take his place on a throne. He was in the same boat as Caspian.
"Now what quest does Aslan want us to do?" asked Peter.
"Yeah, I think we've been waiting bloody long enough to know why" said Ron.
"You all have a right to know. So get comfortable, for this will take a while" said Orion to the heroes he summoned.
