Chapter 216: James's Arc: Decrypting the Legacy of The Force

James was as shocked as everyone else when the Beyonder suddenly appeared in the sky, but as the being of godly power unleashed his surge of power to knock the Great Fox in the direction of one of the planets, James did not waste a second looking at what of the bridge's monitors were still functioning.

As he heard alarms flare up the red haired Enji just kept his glasses positioned."Fox, Bright, can we move at all?"

The leader of the Star-Fox team and the current person in charge of the ship had his longtime friends check things over as fast as they could, before the humanoid Fox blurted out,"That blast hit us so hard even if we manage to get the thrusters back online in time to go back at full throttle, depending on the level of the incoming planet's gravity we might not be able to pull out in time!"

Fox's friend the frog tech wiz Slippy Toad winced as his friend said that before he cleared his throat."No offense Fox, but I told you that it could have come in handy to have installed the new thrusters just in case t…"

"Now is not the time for I told you so Slippy!" The brash blue bird pilot Falco yelled out to his fellow Star Fox member." We need to know how we don't die ten minutes in to the mission!"

"All right calm down Falco! Well…if we can get the primary cannons online in time we could fire a blast to push us back a bit. Course…the big problem is if what we hit makes things even worst."

"Then we better be damn sure we can see what we are shooting at if it comes to that." Fox growled out." Do all you can guys, first impressions are vital and we don't want to start things off here by blowing the wrong thing up. I have a feeling that we are going to have to."

Fox was cut off as everyone felt a strong gravitational force take hold that was strong enough to throw the majority of the group off their feet. As James grasped tightly to the terminal he was on he blurted out a wary," Did…the Beyonder attack again?"

Samus, who was clad in her Chozo armor the moment everyone dived into the Beyonder's reality, check things out with her scanners before she tensed up." Not sure just yet Elrond, but at the moment my scanners are picking up readings that are really close to the way most ships use energy to manipulate gravity."

Tails got some of the systems to reboot with some skilled rewiring, before he saw something to make him wince." Your hunch is right Samus, I think we just got hit by a ship's tractor beam! Guys get ready, they were waiting for us!"

James saw were Tails was pointing and saw that the ship that seemed to be hurling the Great Fox with the tractor beam was a grey wedge like ship that the scanners said was a massive 9,566.29 feet long.

Luke and some of the others saw the spaceship and tensed up."The hell, is that one of the Zannacross Empire's Nova Crusher ships? Some of that freak's forces still alive after all?"

James sighed before he cleared his throat."Luke I know we got hit hard but try and remember the mission debriefing. It looks close but the design looks more like the warships used by the Galactic Empire from the AP era, by the ships that were most commonly called Imperial Star Destroyers.

We don't have enough data to know just how dreadful the commander of that ship might be but, it's safe to say this is far from an ideal start."

Sonic and some others saw some warning sighs flare up as the radar rebooted, just in time to show that several TIE fighters were racing around the Great Fox and shooting at its engines to try and disable it before the blue hedgehog tensed up."I like taking things fast but this is not the cool kind of speed man! Guess we got some bad guys ready to rumble! Let's introduce ourselves Shadow!"

James saw the heroes from Mobius all get ready to head out before he tensed up."Hold up just a moment Sonic. Let's not dash into the ring till we know what we are up against."

"Chill out dude this is no time to be slow!"Sonic retorted as he wagged his finger." No need to freak out, we all busted far worst machines then those dinky space ships buzzing around right now.

I trashed a lot more ships back when Egg man tried to throw down with the first Death Egg and this time I have Shadow and all you guys having my back!"

James sighed as he got the first set of feedback on scans of the Star Destroyer." That's very true Sonic. Don't mistake my caution for cowardice, I merely think it's vital we know just what we are dealing with here.

Remember, the Beyonder seems to have recreated people from all era's of history, its nearly like when we had to fight through every villain in existence to get to Zannacross, only this time the numbers are not even.

I'm just saying, we have little margin for error here so we have to make every step from here on a well calculated one."

Everyone heard more alarms blare out as even more TIE fighters fired on the Great Fox. As the Star Destroyer also started to fire on the ship Fox winced." I'm all for being prepared James, but with all due respect we don't have all day here. Got to make do with what we got and trust our instincts. Tell the Gundam pilots to prepare to launch!"

Slippy tensed up as more warning sighs appeared on the monitors." It's no good Fox, this tractor beam is more advanced than we thought, its preventing the launch gear from moving! It's like some Ion surge is part of the tractor beam!"

"They are no novices to fleet combat, and if we blast out of our own ship now we might not have a chance to repair the damages afterwords. Damn it, can Setsuna use that Trans-Am thing on his 00 Qan Gundam to warp out?"

Luke got flustered before he turned to James."C"mon James you're a Enji Master, between you Jade, Tear, and the others you can't throw out a spell that will allow us to breath in space?"

The member of Squad 7 took a deep breath to maintain his composure before he responded with a wary,"I'm sure we can Luke, but before we do we have to make sure the enemy does not have the means to disable the spell. If they do when you're in space, it could be a fatal mistake."

As the Great Fox got hit again Luke's comrade the long-haired spear using mage Jade the "Necromancer" walked up and readjusted his glasses."Master Elrond its indeed wiser to know as much about your enemy as you can, but from my own experience is it not also wise to act while you still can? Just saying, he who hesitates is lost is remembered for a reason."

James saw many like Luke, Sonic, and even the more reserved of his allies like Samus were starting to look more and more flustered, but before he could say something suddenly a crude male voice bellowed out," Look what's decided to drop in! Not sure if your mates with "Monado" boy or not but if you thought you could pull a fast one on the First Order, you're going to regret it!"

James realized that the sound came from someone forcing open a transmission to the Great Fox, and saw that the person who taunted them came from a being that was rapidly flying past the TIE fighters.

At first the figure looked like a bronze and black jet like fighter, before it flew right in front of the Great Fox and transformed to a more humanoid shape.

James and the others saw vie the monitors that the new threat was a being that had thin limbs with blades for fingers and the framework of its body appeared almost skeletal. It also had a cannon mounted on its head. Finally, it had an "abdomen" that is the engine used to give it flight.

The "Metal Faced" being eyed right into the Great Fox before cackling." Not sure what kind of" fresh meat" you lot are, but you will be charcoal soon enough if you don't see things clearly!"

The Metal Faced foe had his claws crackle with energy before thrusting the Great Fox, discharging voltage into the ship. Tear quickly utilized her power as a "Seventh Fonist cast a magical barrier composed of light energy to protect everyone from harm.

While her barrier protected everyone on the bridge from harm, Tails tensed up before blurting out." We better do something fast or every circuit on the ship's going to be deep fried!"

"Enough of this!" Shadow rasped out sternly as he narrowed his eyes." Time for some Chaos Control to shut this metal loudmouth up. Let's go Sonic!"

The member of the Justice Force nodded, but as the two heroic hedgehogs prepared to unleash their full power the Metal Face hissed out," Personally if it was up to me I'd just deep fry unwanted guests for the fun of it! But guess we will see how much sense is in this can eh? Alright Ren, they are all yours!"

James saw a transmission request come in before he raised an eyebrow, then held up his hand." Be on standby guys, let's see just what kind of introduction we get. Even if it's just a trap it will give us more time to gather intel."

James saw Sonic pause, before he nodded. The Enji Master pressed the receive transmission before many individuals appeared. Center most was a man clad in black with robes and a samurai like helmet.

Knuckles saw the man in the mask had no eye parts and just rolled his eyes."Oh c'mon guys! Anyone dressed up like that is clearly evil! He looks right out of one of those Zannacross cultists!"

"Not necessarily Knuckles." James responded cautiously." His attire reminds me of that of a Sith Lord called Darth Revan. While most of the" Dark Lords of the Sith" were the most devout servants of the darkness, not all of them were mere puppets of the Dark Side.

I remember Kira talking about how Revan walked neither the light or the dark but his own grey path for the greater good.

The archives on him were not complete but they said that while at first he seemed like a pure villain who tried to enslave the galaxy with the Star Forge weapon, only for it later to be revealed that it was all a effort to prepare his former comrades, the Jedi Knights of the invasion from the soul sucking Vitiate, the man who was at the time the Emperor of the Sith and a man that was thought to have had direct contact with Zannacross himself. I should have studied more from the angel's personal records to…"

Before James could go on the masked man on the screen cleared his throat to cut in with a detached," I see you're an educated man, how refreshing, this is not a hopeless venture. Alas while you possess some knowledge your clearly based your intel on alternative facts. Yes…if you wish for salvation you must forget what you have known and embrace the true history, the true future.

I'm not Revan, and while I'm skilled with the "dark" side of the force I'm not a Sith, I'm of the new superior order of the future, I am Kylo Ren, the master of the Knights of Ren.

I presume you heard about what Battle World is from the Beyonder like all of us. I can understand if it's a jarring transition, it was for me. Since I'm a man of mercy I had figured I have my comrade Mumkhar here give you a chance to" calm down" and see things clearly. You must realize that it's in your best interest to join the superior power."

Luke snorted at Ren's declaration before he grasped his fist." Think your hot stuff eh pal? You talk big when your just another." Luke's old friend Guy jabbed Luke in the stomach." Knock it off Luke, don't let the guys here get on your nerves already."

As Luke coughed James saw Ren was motionless and just sighed." Forgive my friend, the weather here is a tense one if you catch my drift. However, you must concede it's hard to take your word when its being handed to us at gun point."

"It's true your ship is entirely locked down by the superior power of my warship, the Resurgent-class Finalizer Star Destroyer. However, while your entirely at my mercy, that's not the only reason you should listen to me. I don't know the back ground and life styles of you all but I assure you siding with me is the best choice you can make if you have any desire to live.

That's not because I threaten to kill you, though I will if you are a danger to my own, its merely because siding with me is the best way to win and thus, live."

James saw that Kylo Ren was motionless this entire time, and tried to keep his own poker face up." Is that a fact? You must forgive me for being a bit, skeptical about such a statement when we have just arrived and only have your word to back that."

"Understandable, but you would be wise to accept quickly, that Supreme Leader Snoke…is wise."

"Snoke…seriously?" Sonic muttered under his breath to Knuckles and Luke." Sounds like one of those Pokémon. Then again…if this place is as crazy as they said then maybe a Pokémon is the big boss here eh?"

Kylo suddenly grasped his fist tightly before cutting in with a suddenly emotional," It would not be wise to defy the wisdom of the supreme leader, or defy me! There are still those who defy the wave of the future.

However, their days are numbered, and soon the Last Jedi and all who are foolish enough to rally behind such hypocrites will be blow out like a candle like the flicker they are! If you insist on being stubborn then I'm afraid since we lack time then you will have to be educated by pain! Its futile to hope, there is absolutely no…"

Before the self-proclaimed leader of the Knights of Ren could finish his rant, he was cut off as an explosion blasted out of the Finalizer near its tractor beam, causing its hold on the Great Fox to weaken. As everyone saw Kylo Ren nearly trip he quickly regained his balance, and swerved to his right." What the hell was that Plasma? What do you mean a shadow bomb hit the Tractor Beam? I don't care if they are stealthy projectiles, it's your job to make sure we are defended! What… Sleeve units are suddenly on our radar?

Hux told me that the Phantom Pain forces were on the other side of the planet! Damn it, tell Shaing to deploy now and blast away all the rats and contact Davros, Luxaar, and Egil now! I won't allow that smug faker to make a fool out of me! If this is a stunt you will all pay!"

As Kylo Ren looked more frantic and erratic by the second the transmission was cut off. As more explosions erupted out over the large Star Destroyer Mumkhar saw the Great Fox start to have its systems be restored before he cackled." I'm having a hunch the boss's are not going to care if I blow you up now. Sucks to be you!"

The robotic being suddenly had a large cannon form above his head, and while it rapidly charged up power, before Mumkhar could open fire a barrage of large energy beams collide in to his right side, forcing him off the Great Fox.

Mumkhar and his would-be attackers both saw that the attacks came from a red humanoid mobile suit. As a smaller light blue suit and a heavier bulkier green suit opened fire a female voice cut in with a projected,"Mumkhar you Mechon butcher, you're not going to spill any more blood! Lin… Irina…pile it on this metal faced bastard so he can't escape!"

Mumkhar had his thrusters blast him upwards and saw the red mobile suit charge at him before he snickered." Is that the squeaking of Elma I hear? What's got you so revved up lass? Still sour I killed your mates back in that battle over Shuigang? Nothing personal, I just enjoy winning! Well, killing and winning but one goes with the other! It's cute how determined you are but trust me, your little Skell's can't make the difference against a superior being!"

The Skell pilots all swerved around and fired at Mumkhar from all directions, and as James and those around him saw the pilot of the red Skell had a beam saber appear before Amuro saw the Skell try to stab Mumkhar in the face and looked confused." Wait, is that a Gundam? They have Gundam's in, whatever this place is?"

"Not quite." James uttered to the ace Gundam pilot." The face and other aspects looks different but it's entirely possible this is some kind of mobile suit like machine form an earlier era."

"We can ask about it when we are not at risk of getting blown up." Fox dryly threw out." I just need to know if we can trust these new units to not blow us up."

"Well…check the line and see if we can open a dialogue. For now, I think it would be good to fortify our positions." James threw out wryly. The others nodded, and the pilots prepared to launch they saw Mumkhar suddenly get blasted in the back by a volley of green energy blasts.

The blasts came from a TIE fighter before a new open transmission burst out with,"This is Poe Dameron of the Resistance! I managed to escape with a member of the First Order and request a emergency landing! My new pal requests sanctuary to!"

A new tense male voice blurted out," That's right, I'm FN-2187! I know its a hard story to buy but I had it working with the First Order and want to join you guys!"

"Heh...you need a real name man. I know, I 'm going to call you Finn!"

" Finn...yah..I'm Finn! I told Plasma I was not just another cog! I'm going to be more then a pawn, I'm going to be!"

While Finn was firing at Mumkhar as he spoke, the higher ranked member of the First Order showed just how much he thought of the man's betrayal when his free hand shifted unnaturally to have its claw extend and slice right through the near by TIE fighter, causing Finn and Poe to die painfullly as their craft exploded. Hearing their deaths caused Mumkhar to snort out," Bah, that brat Ren really is running a loose shift if punks can just escape in a battle! Whatever, no weak homs are going to stop me!"

Mumkhar 's enjoyment of his kill was cut short as Elma took advantage of his lack of focus to slash across his right shoulder with her Skell's Beam saber to try and overpower his hand and stab it through his face."Maybe Mechon Killers like you are programmed to feel superior, but your "specs" can't allow you to escape justice forever!"

Before she could try and finish her target off a red energy blast zoomed through the Mecon's left shoulder, blasting a hole in it, also blasting off the arm of the Skell in front of it. As Elma screamed in pain a cold calculated voice uttered,"Specs alone won't be the decisive factor, but our superior resolve will dog."

Elma, her teammates, and those on the Great Fox saw that the blast came from an incoming mobile suit like machine closing in fast behind Mumkhar, one colored primarily gold with red and white accents, with its chest notably features a golden symbol on a white ground, which in turn is surrounded by red.

Elma saw the new machine swiftly drawing a glowing energy sword in one hand and a glowing Ax in the other before she cringed."What, the, Vercingetorix here?"

The Kightmare frame Skell evaded the incoming projectiles so swiftly that its pilot's skills nearly made the Vercingetorix look like it was moving at super speed, but Elma saw that the incoming foe was not using any illusions as the new threat nearly sliced her Skell's head off.

As she stayed on the defensive she hissed out,"Shin Hyuga Shaing, you at last show yourself? Are you prepared to answer for what you done?"

"Interesting…you think you have the means to kill me woman? I'll be happy to burst your bubble…along with your cockpit."

Mumkhar grumbled as he flew back and glanced at his trigger happy back up."Shaing…don't get to trigger happy you wanker, you nearly fried my arm off!"

"Tsc…moaning is distasteful Mumkhar, we have more than a few replacement arms. I would assume a being of logic would not mind a minor inconvenience to size victory. Yes, this farce has gone on long enough. It's about time the winners take the spoils."

"What fitting timing Shaing…such thoughts crossed my mind, so I'll go and take them!"

Shaing saw a warning sigh and swerved around to see a missile coming for him. While he slashed it in half, from the smoke emerged a blazing red mobile suit of twenty-two meters.

The mobile suit had a beam naginata flash out of its shield to slice through the Vercingetroix 's beam sword, and the movements caused Amuro to get alarmed." That mobile suit, those movements, is that, Char? Wait, he did not sneak on board with us did he?"

James eyed the new mobile suit carefully before he shrugged."No, that's not the Nightingale Amuro. Its, nearly looking like how Char came across during one of the Zeon propaganda films during the war."

"What do you mean? But that would not make him a real person!"

"He was just as real when the Beyonder saw him, thus he is just as real in Battle world. In any case lets survive long enough to find out.

Swerve around while they are distracted, and see if we can flank them."

Fox nodded, and as the Great Fox moved around Shaing tried to cut down the interloper, only to find the new red mobile suit was fast enough to keep up with him." Tsc…still getting to full of yourself, Full Frontal? That Sinanju of yours seems to be able to keep up with me, but even the so called "Red Comet" does not have the means to shoot me down!"

"I'd wager against that. But even aside from me, I'd say despite your side having the larger warship the superior fire power belongs to us. Don't take my word for it, why don't you prove your point and show that was worth all the effort to get this Seiouki the Insa started eh Prince Uther?"

Shaing had an alarm sigh flash across his radar before he saw a massive green energy blast race for him. He had the Vercingetorix dash downwards and saw the energy beam race on to hit the Finalizer, and land a strong enough hit to crack the massive Star Destroyer's shields.

James and his group saw that the blast came from a mech that looked like a Gundam, with armaments that made it look very kingly.

As Shaing saw the new arrival come for him he narrowed his eyes." Damn, they were able to get the sphere reactor working? I'll give you credit for pulling that off but that won't be enough, not to my true, huh? What, an order to withdrawal? Damn that Ren, loses his resolve the moment he loses the advantage.

Bah…things are not set just yet, I'll play along to that bumbling clown a little while longer. Frontal, Elma, new interlopers, enjoy breathing a little more time before the curtain falls."

As the Vercingetorix suddenly had additional thrusters blare out to head in the direction of the Finalizer, Mumkhar got hit in the leg by Elma's team before he sneered." This is not over meat bags, savor this because you will all fry soon enough!"

The metal faced villain had a small orb pop out of his chest to unleash a large burst of special chaff smoke to stop his would-be attackers. Some TIE fighters peppered the enemy side with green energy blasts to help their commanders, and while they quickly were shot down they gave their superiors enough time to get out of harm's way.

As this unfolded Slippy looked at the Great Fox's systems he grinned." Everything's back to normal now Fox! You all can launch now!"

James saw Falco, Samus, Sonic, and the Gundam pilots on board look eager before he readjusted his glasses."Hold up just a bit, we might not need to launch anymore, the fighting just might be over, for now at least."

"Seriously dude?" Sonic grumbled out." No offense dude but you spent so much time "feeling the situation" that the race is already over!"

"I know it's a tense situation Sonic but this is not a race, better to hold the line then waste valuable resources on things that are non-essential. Besides, I did not say stand down, just be on standby.

One group seems to be withdrawing but, not quite sure we can trust the enemy of my enemy is my friend line of thought just yet."

James saw the others nod, before on screen a purple mobile suit flew up to Full Frontal. After a few moments its pilot blurted out,"Commander, the First Order forces seem to have withdrawn, at last as far as the Rozen Zulu 's sensors can tell anyway."

"Nice job Angelo. Relax, I don't think it's a feint, our enemy clearly falters when things change. Have Miranda look over things with Elma's squad to make sure, meanwhile, let's have a chat with the new contestants yes?"

James saw Full Frontal's face appear on the main monitor before the masked man smiled." So…you're the one that got the combined Knights of Ren and Knights of St. Michael all worked up? Are you supposed to be the new players the Beyonder was talking about? The one's that would change the outcome of this little game?"

"That depends on just what this game is all about." James retorted dryly." Forgive the lack of tact, but we seemed to arrive in the middle of a warzone with little idea on what is going on, and are introduction was someone pointing a very large gun to our collective heads."

"Fair enough, Ren has come across a someone who gives an awkward first impression. Well…I'll be happy to give you "new comers" the full story. Of course, it's rather rude to do so in a combat stance, and I'm sure my comrades would want to give their take so I humbly request you come onboard the Anakin Solo? "

"Onboard…Anakin Solo? Is, that a giant, or a living space ship? "

"Heh…I see you been around, but not quite. Anakin Solo is the name of our forces command ship, our commander, Jacen Solo named it after his dear departed brother. Commander Solo is…most interested in you all and would hope you're adjusted enough to have a proper introduction."

James glanced as everyone saw another Star Destroyer, this one colored solid black, heading in the direction of the Great Fox. As he saw more Skell's surrounding the ship along with cross-shaped space ships had a fiberplast body that was all irregular planes and angels, with a matte-black finish camouflaged with an eye deceiving pattern of tiny blue points that made it extremely easy for it to be over looked in space, he looked at everyone before he steeled himself." We will gladly take up your offer, as long as its genuine."

"Heh…I can understand your cation but I assure you this is just a desire to meet. I can promise you, if we wanted to destroy you, we would not have to lie about it. Very well…you will be given instructions on how to dock with the Anakin Solo properly, see you on board the command deck."

Full Frontal's image faded, and James looked around before Luke raised an eyebrow."So…did we get saved by the good guys or the even nastier bad guys?"

Guy shrugged as he grasped his sheathed sword tightly." Well…they seem more civil at least but not really sure we can trust anyone in this entire dimension after what you guys said happened with the guys who first entered this place."

Luke and Guy's comrade, Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear, the blond-haired princess of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear on their world of Auldrant, saw her friend doubt and shrugged." I would not say it's wise to trust anyone but at the same time, it would be best to be diplomatic as long as the situation allows, right? I mean…as long as we cannot contact Ben and the other groups, we must trend carefully."

"Quite right Natalia." James uttered gravely." This seems to be a very extreme game, but in the eyes of this Beyonder…a game never the less. Long as we at least play along, we can only hope the cosmic host will not get to volatile. At the very least, let's see just what our best options are here. Let's get ready to board guys."

Sonic shrugged as he did some stretches." Great…more rants from dudes who's names I'm not going to even remember by the end of the day, bad guys love their rants all right. Well…I see your point man but let's get ready to take off at the blink of an eye. After seeing what the Beyonder did to the universe last time I get we have to be careful but, at the same time we came here to fight as hard as we can right?"

Samus saw Knuckles, Blaze, and a few of the others nod before she sighed." Guess after how big a deal it was taking down Zannacross even I thought just maybe high stakes life or death fighting was a thing of the past but…I'll give the kid and the others some slack since this whole thing seems like a loop hole. Thankfully, evil may have faded from the universe but my bounty hunting and survival skills haven't.

Now…just got to make sure my ship's own systems are primed to go. Hey, what was your name quarian mechanic? Tali, right? C'mon with me to give my ship one last check while we have the time."

James saw the woman clad in Chozo made armor depart before giving him one last anxious look. The member of Squad 7 saw uneasy looks all around before he grimaced, and looked at his transmitted, only to be dismayed to still be unable to contact Ben and the others.

He swiftly walked to the docking bay as he thought of all the possible outcomes." Damn it, I know even the best plans can go array but the plan fell apart instantly. I'm not even sure if Ben, Cloud and the others survived. No, they are not the type to fall so easily, I know it.

I have to do my part, but I admit, the others are right, I'm rustier then I wish to admit. Ben, Ezan, Doug, Cloud and a lot of the others have still trained to keep their skills up for future Enji Budokai's and what not.

But…aside from a few displays of archery and magic every few weeks I have not really trained for combat situations since we beat Zannacross, I truly thought that that era was over.

I suppose its cold comfort that Cosmos thought the same thing, because my combat instincts clearly have rusted. It was only luck no one died because of it. I just have to shape up no matter what, even if we can't get back with the others. I have to prove to the others that I did not become a Enji Master just for a formality, and now's time to prove that.

And to do that, I have to see every aspect of this Battle World carefully. I know the others are on edge, I don't blame them with what's at stake. But while we need sharp instincts to react properly in time, we also need to see as clearly as we can what we are reacting to if we hope to survive. Well, Han Solo was known as a hero that helped the Jedi Luke Skywalker take down the Death Star, time to see if this Jacen is the same kind of man."

James saw Jade, Amuro, Master Chief, the Turian sharpshooter Garrus Vakarian, and the Enji from the nation of Fendel, Malik Caesar, go up to him to ask various questions. After addressing their concerns and planning for countermeasures in the advent of a trap the Enji Master made sure the Great Fox was ready and went onboard the Star Destroyer.

The Quincy Enji and his comrades saw a blond-haired woman in a military outfit waiting for them. While many soldiers were surrounding her, some human, some from humanoid races James could not identify.

Despite the tension the woman gave a pleasant smile."Hello everyone, welcome on board the Anakin Solo.

I'm Leila Malcal…Lieutenant Colonel of the W-0 Unit and serving as the makeshift tactical forecaster for the ship. Colonel Solo sends his regards but is still dealing with the after math of the battle so he sent me in his place. We hope your boarding was not to jarring and hope we can work together to overcome this crisis."

James saw the soldiers around her did not express any hostility and just nodded. "Thank you for the welcome Miss Malcal. I'm sorry if we must forgo formalities but, time would seem to be of the essence. I, oh?"

James and the other Enji and Justice Force members got up as two men rapidly approached them. One was a man who had messy flame red hair, sky blue eyes, and clad in brown robes.

While looking like he was not quite at the age of adulthood the man's calculating look forced those in front of him to take him seriously.

To his side was a young man with blue eyes and long blue hair tied in a single braid.

Lelia saw Sonic, Luke, Samus, and many of the others tense up as the two men stepped into Ben's friend's "personal space" before she tensed up herself." Oh don't worry, they are just making sure things go smoothly.

The blue haired man has been the most skilled member of the W-0 unit, Akito Hyuuga. And the other one is a member of the Galactic Alliance Guard that answers directly to Colonel Solo, Padawan of the Jedi, Ben Skywalker."

Luke and a few others got shocked at hearing that before Luke muttered,"The hell is this? This supposed to be some sort of joke?"

Ben Skywalker heard that and narrowed his eyes before he stepped up."Think I'm a joke because of my age? Keep that up for long and see who's laughing."

James chuckled before cutting in with a wry,"That's not quite what he meant. It's just, we both have a good friend who goes by the name of Ben, and have heard of the legendary Jedi, Luke Skywalker. Are you by chance his son? Is, he on board this ship?"

The young Jedi just eyed James carefully before responding with a wary,"Your aware of the Jedi? How?"

"I'm, an avid historian. I'm well aware of your father's ventures, and hope we can work with him to resolve this mess, thus hoping he is on board."

"Is that so? Well, you should know my dad, Luke Skywalker is not here. Enough, just explain yourself to Jacen and we will see what to make of this."

Ben got in front of the group as Akito got behind them. James saw some of his group look at each other before he sighed."I hope you understand we desire to leave some of are group here, just to make sure things are alright."

Ben saw Master Chief looking at him, and after looking at the Spartan commando for a few seconds he nodded."Sure…long as they don't cause trouble that's fine. Come follow me."

"Of course. Keep a close eye on things eh Chief?"

Master Chief looked at his fellow Spartans before nodding."Understood Master Elrond. I and the rest of Blue Team…Kelly, Linda, Fredric, Urdnot Wrex, Thane Krios will monitor the north side while the members of Fireteam Osiris squad, Jameson Locke, Holly Tanaka, Olympia Vale, Edward Buck, Cora Harper, and Vetra Nyx will oversee the south. Best of luck Enji."

"Same goes to you Chief." James retorted cautiously as he saw the young Skywalker's reaction to hearing the word Enji, and saw the mix of Spartan, Turian ,Krogan, and Drell commandos quickly go patrol the area before he followed Ben and the others into the depths of the ship.

After a few minutes of going through platforms the group quickly arrived on the command deck. Their James noticed many distinct individuals, including Full Frontal awaiting them, but saw that they were all keeping their distance from a man clad in black armor with a small black cape attached to his back. James saw this man with brown eyes and brown hair shaped in a bowl cut looking keenly at data presented to him by a blond woman.

After a few moments of silence, the man just swerved around to glance at James. "Thank you, that will be all…Tahiri. So…you're the ones that stumbled right into Kylo Ren? Well…we will see just how Battle-World will change because of your arrival. I am Jacen Solo, Colonel of the Galactic Alliance Guard, and current acting commander of the make shift Alliance here.

Now…I would very much like to know just who you are and why this…Beyonder decided to add a new piece so late in his cosmic game. You should know, I'm very good at detecting lies."

James felt a calm, but sharp aura pulsating through the man and glanced at his comrades, before giving a pleasant smile." I assumed someone of such high rank would possess such skills. I'm James Elrond, and I know you might not be aware of us but all the same we are all agents of the galactic Lylat Kingdom.

We would be happy to help but that being said, we are all a tad confused about the situation. I hope you can trust that we suddenly arrived in this" Battle-World" in front of that other warship."

Jacen glanced at Ben, and the younger man looked at his superior patiently before his superior closed his eyes." Lylat Kingdom you say? Well…we already seen that the Beyonder has chosen individuals far beyond the "Unknown Regions" …and since you're here it must means that he sees that all of you have enough skills to give him a "good show". Because in the end, Battle-World's purpose is very simple, it's to fight. Yes…fight, and fight, and fight, till only one side remains.

It's been more or less a week since we were all gathered from our home planets and brought to this make shift world. It matters not if it's one person or a team of individuals that wins, any group that emerges with the most Magatsuhi, an essence that is life force energy, and demolishes their opponents will be the victor, no matter what means he or she used to size victory.

It was a tad…chaotic during the first phase but, as the fighting broke out over the world below, this fragmented planet that's pieces are most belonging to a middle-class world called Shuigang, along with fragments of other worlds such as the salt planet Crait. Those of us who shared similar views naturally formed alliances to make the most out of the situation.

Yes, those you see before you are the leaders of are respected groups, worlds, and what not. I told you who I am, and you seemed to have already been introduced to Full Frontal, commander of the Sleeves independence forces."

Jacen then pointed to a middle-aged man with short black hair in a military outfit."This is Defense Secretary Nagi, head of the BLADE unit, a force that protected all that remains of their group of humans before he and those in his world were transported here. He is where the Skell machines came from."

Jacen next pointed to a humanoid cat like man." This is Prince Ga Jiarg head of the proud Wrothian warrior race, who was sent here from the same place as Nagi."

James and the others then saw him point to the next man, the humanoid who looked like a praying mantis, with a cape, and a very harsh look." This is Lord Arktivus Brevon, commander of the forces from Shuigang who was…trying to establish order before he found himself here. And this would be General Alma… general of the militant faction of the Kronos military force."

The possible son of Han Solo proclaimed as he pointed to a tall man with grey skin, white hair that formed a bang over his face and a black and neon blue uniform.

Jacen then pointed into another humanoid slightly taller than a human, with pink skin, a bald face with a few stray hairs on his head and clad in metal armor with a cape." This is the leader of the Zinyak… ruler of the Zin race."

Zinyak made a small bow before he grinned." Charmed I'm sure. Good of you to pick the right side, the Zin are the most advanced race in the universe, once we make up for our lack of numbers the fanatics will crumble shortly. When this matter is settled I'll be all too happy to give everyone a free copy of Zinyak: Galactic Overlord and Head Emperor of the Zin Empire, a life. I assure you it will be one of the most riveting novels you have read since its written by yours truly. "

Jacen gave Zinyak a cold look and he clamped up, before he then glanced at a regal looking blond man with a crown." And lastly, this would-be Prince, no…King Uther, ruler of the Insalaum people. He was the one piloting the unique mecha, the "Holy Vessel" Seiouki the Insa earlier.

We are individuals who come from different backgrounds and have different desires. But…we are all rational enough beings to see our situation, and put aside our differences to emerge as the victor. That's why, despite how sudden this is we all hope you chose to be rational as well."

Sonic saw everyone looking at his group intently before he chuckled." Well, I can't judge you guys since we are a motley group of guys to. Still…don't take it personality if I can't remember your names yet, been a lot of new things to take in today.

Still… I'll give you guys that your looking better than the other team. That Lord Bucket Head or whatever nearly seemed like he had his own mask on so tight it caused a screw loose or something."

Jacen just looked at Sonic carefully, before to everyone's shock he emitted a dark chuckle." Kylo Ren…does seem to be a especially delusional individual. He really thought he could unnerve me by saying he was the true successor to Darth Vader. That pretender acts like he understands the true nature of the Force when he has no idea its true power.

Tsc…he may be a deluded puppet but, some of his current comrades are powerful enough to be forced to take seriously. You plainly were introduced to Kylo Ren, the enforced of the First Order.

Their leader is this…Snoke…but he has not shown himself. They are allied with the mad genius Davros and his creations the Dalek mutants, Shin Hyuga Shing the head of the order of St. Michael that worship the power of the force known as Geass, Egil, self-proclaimed leader of the Machina, the robotic "Mechon" like race whom that metal faced clown you encountered is part of, Ur-Didact, commander of the Forrunner forces, The leader of the "Kett" race known as the Archon, and, Luxaar leader of the Ganglion organization, an order composed of many non-human species that all share a religious fanaticism.

While they worship different things, they all realized they were all fanatical about their ideas, and "backflipped" their various ideologies to form an alliance, however fragile. Like most fanatics, it all boils down to sizing victory no matter the cost. That being said…their combined zealotry has made them hard to subdue.

This has become a battle between logic and fanaticism more or less."

Sonic chuckled before retorting with a wry,"No kidding dude, we had to take down more than a few crazy guys where we are from to make things cool again. Well…I won't be able to remember all those names till I look over Tails's notes after a nice Chilly Dog. Still sounds like they are some dudes that need to be shut down fast. Thankfully you guys can see how fast I can shut down the bad guys soon enough! So just what are they up to and how do we stop it?"

Jacen looked at Sonic and the other's bravado, saw James looked warier and shrugged." We will see how true your words are soon enough. Anyway…the First Order and the others motives are not complex, they wish to blow everyone else up to win Battle World. And…they plan to use their Starkiller base to do just that."

Jacen pushed a button…and moments later a hologram materialized around everyone. James quickly saw it looked like a planet, with a massive cannon built in its center. Jacen gave his new guests a few moments to glance at the Starkiller base before he folded his arms." This would be said base, it's the fusion of a planet and a super-weapon. The enemy of my parents, the Galactic Empire, had a super-weapon known as the Death Star that could destroy an entire planet.

This, Starkiller seems to be an improved version of that. Many Bothans died to give us this information, it's a duty they seemed fated to fulfill.

The data we gathered on it is that the weapon runs on a type of dark energy called "quintessence",which was ubiquitous in the universe, and offered a practically unlimited power source to the First Order.

Using a star as a power source, an array of collectors on one side of the planet gather dark energy in stages, redirecting it to the planetary core, where it was held in place by the natural magnetic field of the planet, as well as an artificial containment field maintained by the machinery the First Order had installed within the crust.

As the planetary magnetic field would not be enough to contain the amount of energy that the weapon required, a thermal oscillator was built into the planet.

It generates an oscillating containment field which allows the installation to expend considerably less energy at containing the dark energy than would be required using a steady containment field.

A colossal hollow cylinder, large enough to dominate the view of the planet from orbit, penetrated the containment field to a predetermined distance, in order to direct the blast towards its target. We gathered that."

Jacen paused as he realized that James, Tails, Samus, and Jade were paying attention and just sighed." The crucial information is that if allowed to be completed, it will have the fire power to destroy all the other Battle World Planets at once. Before you ask, the reason we have not destroyed it yet is that for all their fanaticism, Kylo Ren and the others are hiding their trump card well.

The Star Killer is being hid around a collection of Black Holes, it nearly resembles the Maw Installation from where I'm from, only even more secure.

It seems the only way to get through the Black Holes is to be teleported vie their technology. Because of their fanaticism, any attempt to secure the code and our targets take their own life.

And yet, we have a plan. To complete the Starkiller the First Order requires to extract more resources from Shuigang. Based on data we salvaged from a droid, they plan to strike the location that the locals call" Pangu Lagoon" in order to extract the "Kingdom Stone". Most of the locals are territorial and only care about defending themselves but, they see we are the better side so most will aide us."

James saw Jacen having a few holograms of what he assumed were the city in question before he raised an eyebrow."Wait…the Beyonder brought civilizes to this Battle-World as well? Why?"

"Sadistic as it seems its purely for his amusement, from what his envoy, this, Black Swan said, it's to test his contestants, like their energy is bonus points in some game. Since we can't do anything to help them till we win this" game," we must make the most of it. Some of the civilizes have been able to help us with information gathering and sabotage, they realize their lives are on the line to and must do what they can."

"I see. Any noteworthy citizens for us to look out for?"

"That depends…on if some of them can come to their senses. A possible ally would be Luke Skywalker, my uncle."

"Wait, Luke Skywalker is here?"

"So you do know of him?"

James realized Jacen and those around him were sharping their looks before he chuckled." Only by name. Yes, the legacy of the legendary Jedi that overthrew the Empire spreads wide it seems. You say Luke Skywalker is only a possible ally? Are you unsure that he is alive?"

Jacen saw Ben look uneasy before he glanced down at the planet below." He was alive at one point, but, his state of mind is not clear. Because of the chaotic nature of this world, He and a few others were, confused, and not sure who to trust.

They were last seen hiding in the depths of the planet, and since the planet has a lot of hidden features it is proving to be quite the, complication. I hope I can get Luke and those who rally behind him to see to reason, its proven to be quite the extra hassle."

"You think Luke would aid the First Order?"

Luke, the red-haired Luke of the group just chuckled."C'mon, like hell I would join those."

Tear swiftly jabbed him in the gut to cut him off."Quiet idiot, he's not the one they are talking about! That being said, unless what we heard of Luke Skywalker is completely inaccurate it does seem odd, that he would aid the enemy."

"Under normal circumstances that assumption would be correct. However, this chaotic nature is making him and some of the other Jedi, confused. When Luke met that man, Kylo Ren, he became, confused, like he was waking up to a "False" life.

In the span of my entire life…Luke Skywalker is a man I would assume would never fall victim to such manipulations of the mind, most certainty not to someone as feebly skilled in the force as this Ren. Though, it's entirely possible one of his, comrade's powers is the source of this.

Never the less…mad Jedi Master's running around are making this situation even more complex. To be frank, this is where you all factor in to this. Our agents have gathered enough info for us to think there is a good chance Luke or those with him are near Pangu Lagoon. Are forces tracked this ship near the area."

A new hologram appeared showcasing a ship looking like two saucers welded together, a pair of front-facing mandibles and an outrigger-style, side-mounted cockpit with transparisteel view-ports." This is the ship Luke Skywalker uses?" James uttered curiously."

"No…it's the Millennium Falcon…the ship belonging to my father, Han Solo. He and my mother, Leia Solo, are also with Luke."

They are expecting us, but, they most likely will not be expecting your group. Among everything else Luke might have part of the key to get to the Starkiller Base, so I hope you can see how working with me will mutuality benefit us."

Samus glanced at the data before looking at James." Not being blown up by a giant gun does sound like a good thing to me. Well…if we have to play this game might as well play it to win."

"I'm glad you're willing to see things clearly." Jacen put out as he smirked slightly." I know this situation might be more intense then what you might be use to but I assure you it's not as overwhelming as it seems. Every piece can help size victory when used correctly."

Sonic just chuckled as he wagged his finger in his trademark style." Chill dude, I busted more than a few super weapons, this is nothing!"

Luke nodded before he grasped his fist." We been through one hell of a cosmic war already to protect what's important to us, not going to let all of that go down the drain in this Star Wars either!"

James nodded before adding," We will do our job, as long as you give us ample data to act correctly we will do what we can."

"That's good to hear, because the time for the next phase is fast approaching." Jacen calmly uttered." If you're in need of supplies let me know. If not, if you could return to your ship when you're ready that would be ideal. From there, we will give you landing instructions."

James glanced at those around him before he nodded." Sounds reasonable. Well…to unexpected alliances of necessity then?"

Jacen saw James extend his hand and went through with the offer." So be it…glad you're another that seems to make the most of his circumstances. I'll have Brevon's Lieutenant, Serpentine go with you.

By the time your ship is ready to depart I'll have sent the required network data so our forces can contact each other more smoothly for the battle to come. I'm sure you all have things you want to protect so if there is nothing else you should be going. Kylo Ren and the others of the First Order are as tireless as machines in their obsession."

James saw Serpentine, a humanoid shaped snake with a snake bottomed half, bionic arms and a black V shaped helmet slither up to his comrades." I'm sure it will be a pleasure to hunt alongside you."

"Guess we will see how we all hunt yes?" James answered flatly." Very well Commander Solo, I'll inform the rest of my crew and we will begin the mission when everyone is ready."

James nodded to the others and the group from the Lylat Kingdom left. Jacen saw them leave before he glanced at Ben Skywalker." Tell me Ben…what was your impression of the new "contestants"?"

The son of Luke Skywalker paused for a few seconds before he glanced at the monitors of the Great Fox." They did not seem to have dark intentions in the Force Jacen. But, they did feel like they were trying to hide something.

I mean, I get they might not trust us yet but if it's something like how the Clone Troopers were hiding their orders for Order 66 it could be bad."

"I'm glad you're thinking creatively Ben but I don't think it's something like that. They are naturally hesitant to trust us, and only after fighting together would it be possible to form bonds. Still…I could tell from their leader's facial reactions that something about us shocked him, and it's not something trivial like seeing another human. If they have their own agenda, I want to know what it is."

Brevon reacted with a chuckle before he grasped his fist." If they have anything they are hiding Serpentine will find out, he's quite good at ease dropping."

"I'll be the judge of that." Jacen firmly uttered as he crossed his arms." Battle-World is entering its final stage; thus we can't afford any mistakes if we intend to emerge as the victors. Still…this turn of events can be a use to us if the new comers can truly help us pin down Luke and the others."

Jacen saw Ben looking conflicted before he smirked." Don't let fear cloud your mind Ben. Both of our fathers, both of our parents will see things clearly once we clear all the confusion. We just have to be diligent, the window will only be open for a few moments.

If your focused, you might even be able to find that Vestara woman before it's too late. But for now go tell Niathal and General Rustle to give"support" to are new allies, and keep a close eye on their actions. Like I said, we only have a small time to act, and we must be ready to strike when it appears, no matter what."

Ben nodded before he left with Full Frontal, Uther and a few of the others. As the others went in different directions Jacen saw the Star that acted as the Beyonder's lair and narrowed his eyes." No matter how this final phase goes, I won't falter. As unexpected as this Battle-World has been, I can use this to my advantage. It's unclear if this is all nothing but lies, but if the prize for winning this contest is real, then it would be foolish to turn down the best chance to make my vision become true.

Tenel Ka…Allana…I know you don't understand my path, that you fear it, but it will all work out. Luke, mother, father, Jaina…all of them are to consumed with sentiment to see what is truly needed to bring balance to the force, if not existence itself.

But I won't back away, no matter the pain, no matter the cost I will do what it takes and neither will they, the other Jedi, these new interlopers, that clown Ren, or anyone else in Battle World stop me. Lumiya, Verge…at last the path you steered me down has a clear opening, at last I will have the means to forge a world of perfect order, a world where Allana and all children like her will be able to live in everlasting peace."

The driven son of Han Solo and Leia presumed making sure all the pieces of his plan were falling into place. As he did James was making sure his groups plan was going as smoothly as possible. As he and the others made their way back to the Great Fox the red haired Enji Master glanced at everyone, and saw Serpentine glancing at him carefully.

The member of Squad 7 looked for when Serpentine and the soldiers in the area were not looking before he quickly made a hand sign, and whispered a magic spell to open a link into people's minds."Can everyone hear me? I just cast a mental link between us, from here on I'm not sure if anyone hear might be listening in. Being Jedi, they have the power to use an old way of magic, "the force" and can read emotions and will easily."

The Enji Master was thankful he drilled this with the others earlier so no one showed signs of shock that he was suddenly talking to them in their mind and Samus just glanced back at James." Glad your spells are working ok in the ship. So, what you think?"

"I think Samus…that this is the better group to work with for the moment, but that we should not trust this Jacen Solo. His mannerisms, his behavior, he clearly has to many personality traits with Kira. I can see the same coldness in his eyes, the same ideology that the ends justify the means, no matter the cost."

"Heh…glad it was not just me thinking that." Luke mentally retorted." For a while I was not sure if that Jacen was supposed to be some, I don't know, twisted version of Kira or something. This, other Ben nearly seems to be in the same relationship I had with Master Van…you can tell the look when you spend your life being manipulated by someone you respect. So…should we just kick his ass and get this over it?"

"Not here Luke…not when we don't know the extent of everyone's power. We should be on the watch for a back stab without a doubt, but we should get use to what's going on for a bit longer, and see if we have enough time to unravel this riddle."

"What riddle man?" Sonic mentally blurted out." You think some of these dudes are not who they say they are? I don't get all the science stuff but I remember you said that everyone here is a fake this Beyonder created to fight, right? That means they are really all bad guys waiting to pounce!"

"That's true Sonic, and that also why we must get to the bottom of this to get more, clarity on the situation. You see…the reality of the situation is, the entire legacy of Luke Skywalker was lost to history, but it mentions that his efforts to rebuild the Jedi were sabotaged by his own student, the son of Han Solo.

There was never any mention of a Ben Skywalker, furthermore there was no mention of a Jacen Solo either. But there was a mention of the rampage of Kylo Ren, and the shame he was for being Han Solo's son.

On top of that…the order Jacen Solo talks about, the Galactic Alliance Guard, never existed. All records we know of says that the government Luke Skywalker was a part of was the New Republic."

Sonic, Luke, and some of the others struggled to not let their shock show before Jade mentally retorted with a wry," Are you suggesting that this Commander Jacen and Kylo Ren are one and the same? That this is all an elaborate ruse? I admit I fail to see many logical reasons to keep up such a ruse Master Elrond."

"I know Jade." James retorted." I don't know the answer to this riddle, only that there is one. Maybe it does not matter in the end what was the true history, but at the very least knowing the true motives of all the major players, will help us know how to outwit them. I been spending the past few years trying to master how to decipher behavior, I suppose among everything else, this will be a fine test to see if my thesis holds weight."

James saw Serpentine glance at him, but at that point they had all arrived back to the docking port to the Great Fox, where Master Chief, Wrex and the others were waiting for him.

The Enji introduced Serpentine to the others and after gathering everyone to the bridge James gave a brief recap before showing Brevon's agent as much of the Great Fox as he could without comprising things before heading to the location Jacen gave them.

The Enji and their allies were able to descend through the planet's atmosphere without any difficulty, and as they traveled to Pangu Lagoon James and some of the others saw that they were descending into a much more serene location then most of them expected.

James saw normal birds flying away as the ships descended before he saw another Star Destroyer like ship descending in the distance before he glanced at the monitors, then glanced at his" guest." "I must admit this looks more like a place for a picnic then a battle zone, but then again any place can be transformed to a gruesome warzone with some effort."

Serpentine hissed in response before looking at the monitors." Glad you all know the nature of war from where you're from. This place was not where the fighting had taken place so far, mostly because it seemed to have nothing of strategic value for either side, till now.

Thus, the natives had scurried to the hidden shrine in the depths of this Lagoon to frantically elude death. Too bad for them, they are now in the way of matters of importance, Commander Solo's probe droids proved it. As for the situation at this precise moment, well what is it now Syntax?"

The humanoid serpent pressed a button on his uniform before suddenly the hologram of a floating green colored orb with two squid like limbs appeared above him. The Syntax glowed briefly before answering with a female sounding,"Sir…reports indicate that there are many hostile energy signatures deeper in the targeted location. Many of the wavelengths match that of the Dalek hostile, though there is indication of other hostiles mixed among them."

"So those tacky drones are leading the assault? Works for me. Alright, you're going to want to not have your ship be in the line of sight of the entrance…Dalek's are monotone as hell but, they can hack technology fast if you give them a chance. Besides…if we don't want to scare off those Jedi we have to stay out of their range."

"Fret not…we here are used to dealing with targets that can sense people." James uttered as he swerved around." Prepare to descend, and triple check that all cloaking systems are working properly Slippy."

As the frog member of the Star Fox team nodded Samus had her visor glow." Thankfully I taught a few lessons in how to hunt mind readers a few weeks ago, I can give you guys pointers as we deploy."

Master Chief just checked his gun before retorting with a flat," Think you're the only one green here Aran? We were hunting rouge Enji and all other kinds of suspects when we were acting under the orders of the Titans. Granted half of that was because of the nano-machines…but still."

After one more check, James finalized the squad formations with his make shift team and had the Great Fox hover on standby mode in the upper part of Pangu Lagoon. The natives of the Lylat Kingdom tensely let Serpentine guide them, but to their relief the humanoid snake led them to the shrine entrance.

Everyone tensed up as they heard screams and explosions in the distance, and as James got his bow ready he looked at the others, and nodded before they hurried over a hill, and glanced down to see a bunch of various humans and humanoid animals frantically running past large doors, only for an elderly man to get hit by a blue burst of energy, and be vaporized a second later.

James's group quickly saw that the blast came from metallic beings that resembled human-sized pepper pots with a single mechanical eye-stalk mounted on a rotating dome, a gun mount containing an energy weapon resembling an egg whisk, and a telescopic manipulator arm usually tipped by an appendage resembling a sink plunger.

Luke, Guy, and the others around James saw these drones fire ruthlessly at everything in their sight will delivering a staccato monotonous,"EXTERMINATE!!" before Luke muttered,"Those are Daleks? Look like larger uglier versions of those R2 Droids. They may be a pain but we busted all kinds of crazy robots like all those Destroyer Dom Droids and all the other toys Weil had for Zeon forces."

Everyone saw a frantic father throw a thermal detonator bomb at the incoming Daleks, only for them to shrug off the house sized explosion that the bomb produced before Serpentine hissed out,"They may not be much for esthetics but, I assure you Dalek's each have shields powerful enough to ward off a direct hit from a Star Destroyer Turbo Laser."

Samus quickly scanned the Dalek's before she readied a super missile."He's right guys, the scans are picking up that their guns are nothing to joke about to."

"Don't matter if they have great guns if they can't hit me with it!" Sonic casually threw out as he started stretching." I'll trip theses punks up so bad they blow each other up."

James heard some explosions in the distance before he grimaced." Hold off just a little while longer Sonic. Not sure we seen their entire attack force, its vital we see the full picture here."

"Seriously dude? People are dying and I can stop it, that's all I need to know!"

Serpentine hissed harshly before he glanced at Sonic." These civilizes have regrettable luck, but they are not what we are here for. Stepping in now might alert Luke Skywalker or his allies! We must see if the Jedi will show themselves so we can act, that's the will of Lord Brevon and Commander Solo."

James saw the mixed looks of horror that Sonic, and everyone around him gave, before he grasped his bow tightly." I don't know what you value, but respectably, were we are from we value all non-threating life. We agreed to work with your forces, but it would be unwise to assume we will be subordinate.

Sonic…sorry to give the impression I did not want to engage. I merely figured, it would be best to get in the best position. Even with your speed it would be best that we minimize you getting hit by a stray laser yes?"

James saw Sonic grin and the others look more confident before he glanced back at the attack below."Alright, quickly like we planned. Attack formation Gamma!"

Serpentine quickly glanced around before hissing out," Wait what you're going to attack with Gamma Bombs?"

"Er…not quite it's just the name of the formation that best expresses our intent." James threw out dryly." Just…please stand by and observe."

James heard a large smashing sound and pushed himself to get into position faster. He and the others picked up the pace even more as they saw a humanoid Panda woman clad in armor and welding a glowing spear jump up and suddenly jab her spear in to a Dalek 's gun just before it fired.

As the blast successfully backfired and the Dalek exploded the Daleks around their comrade all swerved at her to try and avenge their comrade, only for her to swiftly evade their beams.

As she tried to close in on another target she screamed out a vengeful," You Dalek monsters are going to pay! I won't let you, GUH!"

Before the woman could unleash her attack, suddenly a large figure, much larger than a Dalek burst out of the area from the right to tackle the women hard enough to slam her in to the shrine doors hard enough to dent them.

As she coughed up blood she saw her attacker was a large mechon. He was slightly shorter then Mumbar,and his armor and limbs were mostly black and silver in color. His working black lower jaw akin to a beard.

His appearance is very bulky and spherical; giving him an ogre-like or troll-like appearance. As the Mechon landed on the ground the women he attacked saw him take out a hammer before she grit her teeth." Xord…you will pay for treating my people like cattle! Your, not going to get away with this! "

The Mecon Xorn just swung his hammer to casually shatter a pillar next to him, and chuckled as some of the people screamed." Of course I am lass! You "homs" just got to accept your just meals that are on the menu! That's right, food ain't supposed to JUMP OFF THE PLATE! This is war lass, and you're going to have to all see who the winners are!"

A red commander based Dalek rolled over to the panda woman as its laser charged up before looking right at her."Commander Xord is correct! Dalek's are SUPERIOR! All who won't submit will be terminated!"

The Dalek prepared to fire, only for Sonic to suddenly run around him so fast he was a blue blur. The member of the Justice Force moved so fast he became a blue tornado, and as a result the Dalek was propelled into the air, disorienting Sonic's target enough for it to fire, and hit a fellow Dalek.

As said Dalek exploded and Xord jumped backwards in shock Sonic landed and jabbed his finger at the Daleks."Superior? Please…you bots don't even have limbs to make poses! I think it's time you all get busted up!"

Xord saw how confident Sonic was before he snarled."What's this? You look like some of those other feral rats! Think your too fast to escape your fate?"

"Geeze man if I had a chilly dog every time I heard a baddie throw a pun like that I'd be set for life! Piff…dude there may be other hedgehogs but there is only one me in the whole universe! Oh right we are outside the universe now, eh, still only one real Sonic!"

Xord sneered before he flew above Sonic and had his hammer crackle with lighting." If there's really only one of yah then your bout to go extinct! I don't care how fast or special hom you are, there's only one of yah! DIE!"

Xord prepared to attempt to smash Sonic with his hammer, but before he got blasted in all directions by one of James's energy arrows, a Super missile from Samus, a portable Proton Torpedo from Master Chief, a Chaos Spear projectile from Shadow, a Holy Lance Art from Tear, and a few others.

The bronze faced machine swiftly got blasted to the ground, and while he had explosions break out all over he was still functioning.

As he got up he saw that James had his bow pointed at him the Quincy Enji uttered a collected," Sorry, your calculations are off and it will be a terminal error."

"An ambush? Damn it, exterminated them all!" Xord roared out. As the Dalek's all roared out eagerly to the extermination order James's group pressed on the assault. While James's comrades hit as hard as they could manage, the found out that Daleks fortifications were no lie.

Luke saw both the Spartan's guns and Jade and Natalie's spells not phase their targets at all before he narrowed his eyes."So your tough walking trash cans ah? Let's see if your shields can stop direct erasing from some good old Hyper Resonance! Radiant Howl!"

The red haired Enji Knight used his power to manipulate particles, or how its referred to on his world of Auldrant as isofons, entities with the same fonon frequency, interact with each other, allowing the creation and destruction of matter.

Luke had red energy form in his hands before he ducked a laser blast a Dalek fired at him and unleashed his Mystic Art to unleash a Second Order hyperressonance, and in the process, unleash a massive red energy blast that allowed him to shatter his target's shield and vaporize all the enemies around him.

As the Enji took a deep breath another Dalek tried to shoot him in the back, only for Guy to run up and deflect the sword with his energy enhanced Jewel of Gardios sword back at his attacker.

Luke heard an explosion break out behind him and glanced back to see his best friend smirking at him."Still think it was a bad idea I insisted we keep sparing in peace time man?"

"Thanks for the save dude but don't get smug! I did it because Tear was starting to nag about being lazy and I did not want to look to lame in the next Enji Budokai alright?"

"Whatever…just stay sharp and watch out for the large one's hammer, I think it just fired out a bomb!"

Luke cringed as he saw Guy was right, and that after kicking Knuckles to the ground the bronze faced hostile snarled out,"Bah… you lot havin' a laugh? All your fancy plotting and you inferior life forms are just bugs giving me tiny itchs! This is taking too long because you just can't accept your food but I'M GONNA SQUASH THE LOT OF YA!"

As Xord fired missiles at everyone in his sight Samus scanned every crack in his armor to deduce a weak spot before she grasped her arm cannon."I thought machines were to logical to assume your stronger just because your bigger? Whatever…your yelling like a drunk, time to scrap you already."

Samus combined her ice beam and missile weapons to unleash the Ice Spreader attack, and suddenly unleash a massive blast of ice that froze half of her target's body. The Mechon quickly broke out of the ice and glared at Samus before quickly charging at her."Puny defective hom robot, I'll teach you to mess with me!"

Xord charged at the bounty hunter, but Samus showed she was all to ready a she casually had her grapple beam latch on to Xord's head. Her target tried to swat at her, only for her to suddenly go into her morph ball state.

As her enemy was shocked at the sudden transformation Samus unleashed a power bomb right into her target's mouth. Xord had only moments to figure out what the member of the Justice Force did…before he felt a surge of something. The Power Bomb exploded right inside his body, with enough force to vaporize his entire upper half.

James saw Samus causally stand up and blast more Dalek's with her wave beam before he saw Serpentine besides him, looking at her and the others with repressed awe."I figured any fighter thrown into this Battle World would have to know their stuff but, I see you are all warriors that take your job seriously."

James eyed all the Dalek's still firing before his magical aura suddenly exploded."To say the least, we had to be the best to excel at our profession. Alright, these Dalek's seem to like yelling about their superiority so its time they are humbled. Magnetic Shockwave!"

Ben's friend suddenly thrust the ground to start his spell. Suddenly the area around all the Dalek's below him crackled with lighting. A moment later James used alchemy style magic to have the ground around each functioning Dalek to morph and shift into a Venus fly trap like state to immobilize them.

The Enji Master saw that the Dalek's were bound for the moment but were not affected by either the magnetic or electric parts of his spell. As he saw the Dalek's move their cannons to try and blast themselves out he narrowed his eyes." I see that appearances aside your construction is indeed well crafted. Still…it's not flawless, not to me. Licht Regen!"

James had his bow transform into one of pure energy with four long prongs and two spikes extending from the center. He then fired dozens of arrows of blue light into the air. The countless projectiles all rained down on the Daleks, and while the arrows that hit them just bounced off their shields, the ones that hit the ground bounced off to go right for every Dalek's cannon, and head into them.

As all the remaining hostiles exploded James casually readjusted his glasses." Glad my training with Polaris went as plan, I may not be quite as master of magnetism yet, but it would not due to look to bad compared to Uncle Magnus. Seems that's the last of them. Good work everyone, let's see if anyone around here needs help."

James saw the others glance around to check for hostiles, and after seeing Tear heal the panda woman's injuries he glanced back at Serpentine." Well…you're the one who's seen the people we are looking for. Anyone here fit?"

"No." The snake man hissed out." That Panda woman is, Neera Li that is known as the frost knight. She is the advisor of the Royal Magister and the Chief of the Shang Tu Police Department. She is a killed warrior, but she is a member of the government, not a Jedi.

Maybe this Luke Skywalker is not as noble as his son says. I never met the man, and the reports do give contrasting data on his behavior and age."

"Maybe…but there are many reasons he did not show so let's explore every option before we report to your superiors."

Neera saw her wounds heal up thanks to Tear's magic before she gave the woman a wary look." What…what kind of trick is this?"

"It's not a trick, its merely helping out someone in need." Tear retorted flatly." Of course, if you want to fight after this we might have a problem. However since your fighting the same guys as us it would seem we have at least a few things in common right?"

Neera saw Tear's friends, aside from Jade, give her warm smiles before she looked around tensely." Hard to know that when I don't even know who or what you all are, so who are you?"

James walked over to the woman before uttering a calm." We are not locals to say the least, and are from various worlds to be honest. I assure you, we are all those who respect life. My apologizes but I don't have time for the full story since time is of the essence.

We are looking for Luke Skywalker since he seems to have the key to resolving this crises in a way that does not lead to the First Order winning. Would you happen to know where he is?"

Neera eyed James carefully before responding with a shrewd." That depends, just what do you want from him?"

Sonic chuckled before he leaned over." Easy girl we're on your side! We just need to find this Jedi Master dude so we can bust this Star-Killer toy before the guys on it kill everyone with it! The guys we met said his kid wanted to see him again to boot, what's wrong with helping a kid find his dad eh?"

Neera eyed Sonic carefully, but before she could respond a new female voice suddenly shout out a crass," There is plenty wrong with that if you guys are up to no good creeps!"

Sonic, James, and everyone else swerved at the direction of the voice and saw it came from a woman that to everyone's shock, looked a lot like Sonic, only looking more purple. Sonic glanced at this purple woman before he raised a eyebrow."Blaze…what are you talking about?"

The woman just raised her eyebrow before another female voice cut in with a cold."Sonic…that's not me I'm right here!"

The hero from Mobius cringed as he swerved around to see his pink cat friend from another reality glaring at him. He then did a double take before muttering," Sorry about that, but then who is she? Great, this better not be another rip off of me!"

The woman just rolled her eyes before spitting out a cross," Who you calling a rip off? No way I'm some lame doofus hedgehog, I'm Sash Lilac, the fastest coolest water dragon there ever is! We are not going to fall for the tricks of some washed up sell out!"

"Half-baked sell out? Girl I'm not baked one bit got it! I'm all about having a cool attitude and all but when you don't know what you're talking about you just look lame! For your information I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, the dude' who's faster than speed!"

Knuckles cleared his throat before muttering,"Well…to be honest Sonic you have gotten slower since Egg man's no longer causing trouble. Told you to cut back on the Chilly Dogs."

Sonic saw Tails, Shadow, Blaze, and even Omega give various nods before he had his right eye twitch." Lay off Knuckles! I keep telling you that I only was slower because my foot fell asleep before the race started, and Shadow cheated using Chaos Control! Ugh…anyway, Lilac right? I don't know what you know girl but you got the wrong idea, we are not with those First Order creeps!"

"So what?" Lilac shouted back furiously." Your just another bunch of jerks using are world as a game! I don't care where you're from I won't let you trick my people again!"

Neera saw James and some of the other tense up before she grimaced." Wait…they might be different than the others Lilac calm down!"

The purple dragon woman glanced at Neera and looked confused for a moment, before she glanced at James, and saw Serpentine glaring at her behind the Enji Master before her face hardened." I don't care how it looks Neera! Even if it looks good at first, it's just another trap! I won't trust anyone that's working with Brevon's toadies!"

James glanced at the humanoid snake and grasped his bow tightly." Is there, something you would like to share with us?"

"Yes…that this mouthy brat is a hostile! She is nothing but a dirty thief from some local band of vermin call the Red Scarfs. Bah…they are just petty spiteful scavengers!"

"I won't call myself a role model but it's not a crime to just want to survive!" Lilac shouted out passionately." You monsters, you devastated Shang Tu like the people there were nothing!"

"They were not nothing, they were stubborn pests!" Brevon's second in command hissed out." Everyone heard the rules Battle World has, everyone heard what's at stake! Yet you resisted, so you all were dealt with as threats!

It would have been worst if the First Order got their stupid girl, then no one would have been spared! Its war, if you're not part of the solution your part of the problem! So, if you like living, tell us where Luke Skywalker is already before the First Order kills us all!"

"I'm not trusting you snake! I refuse to think the only options are the choices of one killer or another!"

"Then you're an idiot and you're going to die like an idiot!"

James eyed Serpentine warily before he got behind him."Tell me now…did Jacen Solo know of your brutality?"

"Hahaha…of course he did it was his idea! He wanted to make it clear to the entire planet what the price was for foolish resistance. You said you went through a war right? You know how important it is to win, especially when the stakes are as high as this!"

"Maybe so but if you discard everything you cherish to win then the price is too high. Lilac right? My comrades are late to this game but it's clear we are missing information, and we need to be up to speed as fast as possible. I assure you that I will help you and everyone if you just."

Lilac just stepped back before muttering a wary,"No… you're not going to trick me! You jerks from the other worlds think you're so superior to me but you're not going to get me, not in my own land! Carol…Milla…tell Torque and Shulk to get ready, I'm going to leave these lying punks in the dust!"

Lilac showed Sonic and the others that she was not lying about her speed as in the blink of an eye there was a dust cloud where she stood.

Sonic saw this and just snickered." Not bad girl, but like it or not you're not going to out run a sonic boom! She's mine!"

The blue member of the Justice Force burst off before his friends could even try and argue. Serpentine saw Shadow, Tails, Blaze, and Sonic's other longtime friends speed after him into the depths before he widened his eyes." Don't let that girl escape! Vaporize this entire area if that's what it takes but we must make her cough up were Luke Skywalker is!"

James snapped his fingers, when suddenly the ground around Serpentine burst up and grasped his tail. Seeing the man's shock caused James to sigh." We will, but you're staying here. It's clear your presence is jeopardizing the mission, my mission at least. We will talk when this is over, maybe think about things while we take care of this."

James quickly had metal bindings form around Serpentine's mouth and arms before he glanced at everyone." Well…we might as well pin down this girl. Don't attack her unless it's the only option, we clearly need to get the full, unbiased picture here."

Those around him nodded and after one last check James's group followed Sonic. While the man with the title of the blue blur may have been a bit out of practice, Sonic was determined to not let Iliac make him look foolish.

While the dragon woman had set traps for those that would follower her, after all the adventures he had been on Sonic managed to evade every trap door and sudden spike that popped up.

After a minute of high speed pursuit Lilac glanced back to see and hear Sonic was still right on her tail before she winced, and moved even faster. "This guy's not a total poser but…I'll trip him up yet! I know…I'll let the monster in the back take him out!"

Sonic saw Lilac go faster and had memories of when Reverse-Flash was making a fool of him and winced. But after a second he just smirked." You got some moves girl! But to bad I got some of my own! Nice try...your almost sort of fast! But it's nothing a Light Speed Dash can't handle!"

The speedy hedgehog saw Lilac burst past a tunnel before using one of his powers to move fast enough to nearly look like a beam of light, and move fast enough to land in front of Lilac.

The dragon woman was waiting to see if she could hear Sonic as the door closed, but as she waited for a moment Sonic casually tapped her right shoulder from behind. Seeing him caused her to yell in shock, and as she jumped back she yelled out." What the…you have one of those warp spells? Cheater!"

"Nah its pure speed girl!" Sonic threw back as he wagged his finger." Still not bad kid, you're at least as fast as Blaze! I might even give you a few pointers…once you calm down and we can talk about what the true problem is."

"Don't mess with me!" Lilac snapped out a she got into a fighting stance." You can look down on us all you want but this world and its people have more then you all think! IN fact, you're going to, huh?"

Lilac glanced around Sonic and realized the room they were now in, and saw they were in a wide chamber with twin rivers of molten lava, with a wide metal chamber full of advanced technology with spheres that looked like pods.

The group heard footsteps before a pack of crystalline Vulptex wolfs run up before one howled.

Lilac saw a door surrounded by red energy in the distance before she raised an eyebrow." Wait…this is not the chamber of the guarding! Impossible, I know I took the right path or I would not have run pass the traps!"

"Got you so stressed out your having wires crossed or something girl? Heh…I do have that effect on people."

"You don't get it…this place does not look like anything on my world at all! Even if some of the places looked fancier then the other, this does not look like anything I seen, like anything in my world at all!"

Sonic just looked on and shrugged before another female voice cried out," That's because this is not part of our world Lilac it's from another world!"

Sonic and Lilac both glanced to the right, and saw the voice came from a humanoid cat with green fur riding a motorcycle, on her back was a humanoid white furred Hush Basset hound with long orange hair.

The motor cycle had two travel pods attached to its sides, on one side was a humanoid duck with green fur, and on the other side was a humanoid orange and brown female badger with a boomerang.

Lilac saw the group arrive and tensed up."Carol, Torque, Milla, Sticks! What are you doing here I told you all to get away! Wait…how you know I would be here anyway?"

Carol rolled her eyes before spitting out,"Can't you be Little Miss Heropants some other time? Torque said we had to stop you because it's a major mistake! Shulk had one of those visions with that Monado thing of his and told us about it! Everything's messed up Lilac!"

Torque nodded before quacking out," I told you before you should have waited to check things Lilac! Since this Battle World started everything been messed up. I told you to double check things because the part from your world is not here anymore, I checked and without a doubt this is part of another world that Beyonder guy put together for this contest of his!"

Lilac looked in shock as she saw how tense her friends were before she glanced back at Sonic."No... our entire world was just slammed together with another planet like a giant game piece? What does this freak want?"

Sonic narrowed his eyes before responding with a firm," I got a sneak peek and it's as nasty as it can get girl. That's why I and my buds are here to stop it! But to do that we need to figure out what's going on yah hear?"

Lilac saw Sonic was looking serious now before she hesitated." Your serious about this?"

Before Sonic could answer, the door they came in from glowed before it was forced open as a result of James's spell.

The Enji Master saw Lilacs allies looking at him and the others tensely before he smiled." I assure you miss Lilac, we take this very seriously because everything we hold dear is at stake. We want to save as many people as possible, but first we need to know the full story. First of all, what is this place and what is really going on?"

James saw Torque look like he was about to open up the light in the other side of the chamber glowed before a metallic male voice sternly cut in with," You seek answers and you will get them! Your presence in the Guardian's shelter, is undesirable. And the cost for such a transaction to the First Order, is death!"

Everyone got on guard as the pod over the door opposite of James's group opened up, and a barrage of energy blasts shot out to vaporize the pack of Vulptex wolves. A moment later a tall humanoid white and black machine landed on the ground hard enough to cause a thud. The new arrival revealed he had a glowing skull face before he hissed out,"I am the Warden Eternal…enforcer of the First Order! You heretics of organic flesh who defy destiny, you will not out run fate!"

Sticks suddenly jumped out of Carol's motorcycle and ran at the Warden while taking out a boomerang."Ah shut it you glitchy wanker! You First Order blokes think you're so bloody superior but you're just a bunch of glitchy jerks!"

Lilac saw Sticks give a battle cry before she shouted out," Don't be crazy Sticks that bot looks like he is on a whole other level!"

"Aw your stressed-out girl these jerks have been shouting how superior they are to us since the start and we are still pushing back! They got nothing on our grit!"

Sticks threw her boomerang at the Warden, only for the inorganic being's glowing face to glow brighter, and in an instant, unleash a beam from his eyes that vaporized the incoming boomerang, and proceeded to vaporize the top half of Sticks before she even realized what happened.

As the lower half of the now dead badger women fell to the ground with a thud the Warden glowed once more before he had a hard light sword form out of his armor and casually uttered." You were not a priority before vermin…but you inferior beings have delayed us long enough and we will no longer humor your defiance. It is time for all you organic fools to submit to your fate."

Lilac looked like she was about to snap as she dashed at the Warden." I don't care how dumb Sticks was, she was my friend and I'm going to make you all pay!"

The AI hostile saw Lilac charge at her and fire another eye blast, only for the purple female to be fast enough to dodge. The Warden saw that Sonic, Samus, James and others were about to attack as well before his armor suddenly glowed once more, before he unleashed a shock-wave of energy that hit everyone, and to James and his comrades dread he saw everyone was paralyzed as a surge of lighting crackled around everyone's body.

The Warden saw that everyone was pinned down before he glanced at the now paralyzed Lilac. Despite being immobile she still looked defiantly at him, causing him to sneer as he raised his sword. "Defeat is inevitable….it's only logical for your kind to be the losers."

The glowing member of the First Order prepared to slice the member of the Red Scarf's head off, but before he could the blade was stopped, by a blade of blue light. The Warden saw that the blade came from a young woman, clad in a white cloth outfit with brown hair tied in a bun. Her hazel eyes glared fiercely at the Warden, causing him to glare back." A lightsaber? So…a Jedi is it? At last…the target has been found."

"Your mistaken drone." The women bravely retorted." You're the one being hunted! I'll make use of my scavenging skills and sell your scrap parts when this is all over!"

The Warden responded by trying to blast her, only for the women to block the blast with her lightsaber. James and the others watched on in frustration as the new arrival parried the Warden's strikes.

As the Warden clashed blades with his smaller target he sneered." Your "Force" can't save you women…its insignificant in the face of a superior being. Your only path to survival is to give me the location of Luke Skywalker!"

"I have no reason to beg to an arrogant droid like you!"

The women drew on the "Force" to unleash a burst of raw power, pushing the Warden back. However, the Jedi found her attack left less of an impact then she hoped as the Warden suddenly had thrusters flare out of his back to burst back and smash the women in the face, slamming her into the wall.

As the women moaned the Warden flew up into the air." I will say one last time Jedi…you can't escape fate so give us the information we require, or die like all useless data!"

"No…I can't give in to you, the fate of the Force depends on you monsters not getting your way!"

"Enough…if you won't be sensible then at least Luke Skywalker will have one less tool!"

The Warden had his free hand form into a cannon before he fired a dark sphere that nearly looked like a black hole at her. James and the others tried desperately to break out of the paralyses the Warden had them under, but just as it looked like it was too late the projectile frozen in place before it could hit the women.

The Warden looked shocked before a voice belonging to a collected man uttered,"Rey…you did well but I'll handle it. If they want an audience with me, they will get it."

Everyone saw a man calmly walk into the room from the previously locked door. The man was clad in a black cloak, and wearing white robes. The Warden saw the new arrival slowly walk up to him before he pointed his sword at him." Ah…so you at last decided to stop outrunning your destiny? Good…you have an appointment with Supreme Leader Snoke."

"I did not come here to go with you, but I did come to leave a message."

"Tsc…I did not come to debate, but to order! A lesser being will not order me!"

The Warden charged at the man while firing an eye beam at his legs. In response, the man in a flash had something come out of his hand. Everyone quickly deduced it was another Lightsaber as a green blade formed to deflect the blast back at its sender.

The Warden spun around mid-charge to slice at the deflected blast and then try and hit the older Jedi. His target easily intercepted the strike, and the Warden tried to break through his target's defenses before the hooded man unleashed a Force Push to knock the Warden back long enough to slice his sword hand off with the Light Saber. The glowing member of the First Order snarled before he flew back and prepared to fire from his arm cannon again.

As he did the Jedi suddenly extended his free hand, and unleashed a force powerful enough to completely mobilize the Warden's body. The hooded man screamed with outrage, but his opponent just unleashed even more power to smash the Warden into the wall.

The Warden saw his own cannon being pushed into his face before the man uttered a solemn," If you're listening…Ren…turn back from this now before it's too late. The harder you try and grasp on to what's not yours, the faster it will slip away. If you try and grasp something so foolish, you will lose everything."

The man then had the Warden's blast go off, in his face. Everyone saw their machinal enemy explode, before they were free moments later. Samus quickly checked everyone's readings with her suit's scanners before voicing a dry," Well…not what I expected to happen but it seems things ended better then it looked."

James saw Lilac, Rey, and the other natives looking uneasy before he pushed his glasses." Let's see the full picture before we give a final verdict Samus. Thanks for the assistance sir, that minion of the First Order took us by surprise."

The man deactivated his light saber before he responded with a wary," Don't thank me yet, I came here because I felt a disturbance in the Force, and now I see the disturbance was even greater than I thought. I…am Luke Skywalker, Grand Master of the Jedi. No…the last Jedi. I am giving you the benefit of the doubt because I don't sense the Dark Side in you. But I want to know just what you want from me."

James cleared his throat as he walked forward." It's an honor to meet you Master Skywalker, we never met but I heard the legends about you. The short story is that we come on the behalf of your nephew…Jacen Solo. He wants to find you, and he and your son Ben want to find you badly."

Luke paused for a few moments before he answered with a slow." Is that why you're here? I can sense your intentions are true, but I'm afraid there is a problem with that."

Luke pushed his hood off, and everyone in Luke's group was shocked to see that Luke had a beard on only the right side of his face, with the beardless side having shorter hair.

Luke gave James a detached look before muttering," You say my son wants to find me, but I have no son. I have…a bad feeling about this. I can't afford to fall to the deceptions of the enemies, if you're with them, I'll do what I must to see the will of the force through! I fight for all life…but I won't let the fake life prevail!"

James raised an eyebrow as he saw his comrades, and even some of Jedi Master's allies tense up before he cleared his throat." What do you mean by fake? Do you mean, the inorganic members of the First Orders? We want to fight the hostiles to but we need to understand just what…"

Ben's friend was cut off as Skywalker screamed in pain before his right eye twitched erratically." No…I won't let the false world erase everything I care about! Leia…I…RAH!"

The Jedi unleashed a massive surge of raw force energy, that attacked everyone's minds before they had a chance to react. The wild force move caused everyone to have crippling headaches, and was also smashing them all in to the walls behind them. James struggled to stay conscious as he saw Rey…Lilac and the others were effected to, and felt a chill down his spine as he saw Luke Skywalker looked completely erratic." The great Jedi hero is, insane? Something is horribly wrong here. Damn it…this was not the plan at all!"

James used all his willpower to stay conscious and quickly figure out a plan on how to ensure the man they were looking for would not turn out to be his killer.

Authors Notes: Well...I know I threw a lot of different groups together so firstly, lets see, Full Frontal is from Gundam Unicorn, " Metal Face" Xord" and Shulk are from the game Xenoblade Chronicles while Elma and her crew along with the are from the game Xenoblade Chronicles X. While I personally feel both games are far inferior to Xenogears and Xenosaga story wise, I respect the attention they brought to the Xeno series, though I have serious doubts about the next one, and am rather annoyed they are not doing a follow up to X after how it ended.

Lets see, the Warden is from Halo 5 and the Diact is from Halo 4.

The Arcon is from Mass Effect Andromna

The Daleks and Darvos are from the Doctor Who series...I respect the series for what it does and figured they deserve a spot in.

The Zin and Zinyack are from Saints Row 4. Despite what kind of game that series might be, it was a amusing game that was more fun then how super serious Grand Theft Auto has been.

Akito, Lelia, and Shin Hyuga Shaing are from the spin off of the Code Geass series Akito the Exiled.

Uther is from the cross over game Super Robot Wars Z2.2: Saisei Hen, it may not have been a game released in America but he was a solid character in the game, with a cool mech to.

Sash Lilac, Carol Tea, Lord Brevon and the others on her world are from the game Freedom Planet, a game that started as a Sonic fan game that became its own series, and felt more like a Sonic game then most of the Sonic games have been after Sonic Generations and Episode 4. Hell...Freedom Planet did so well its getting a second one so glad the game producers hard work is paying off, we will see if Sonic Forces can get Sonic a respectable game after how bleh Sonic Lost World and everything related to Sonic Boom is, we will see.

Lastly, if you happen to not be to aware of anything Star Wars outside the movies, then Jacen Solo and Ben Skywalker are from the EU timeline, the timeline before Disney bought Star Wars and, erased everything not linked to Lucas and rebooted everything post Return of the Jedi to lead up to Force Awakens.

To be precise, for those that care Jacen and Ben are suppose to be right before the Sacrifice book of the Legacy of the Force series ended, I chose this area to more easily pull off what I'm trying to aim for.

The short story is, for those who spent their entire lives following the EU, having it be erased, having it all be said that the real one is the Disney one left a very bitter note. Sure some like Thrawn got back into cannon but its still not the same.

Personally I was so bitter that I started writing my own Zilos books.

The EU cast may never get official closure but, this arc will be as close to closure as it can get in my head at least for those like Ben Skywalker and the others of the EU timeline.

Why Luke's acting so erratic will be explained next time, I know it might have been wiser to have chose to do this arc after Metriod Prime 4 and Star Wars episode 8 came out to have new material for this arc but, I made a judgment call, if things turn out to make Kylo Ren's erratic actions justifiable well, this arc might have a few revisions later on lol, we will see how it goes.

Also...sorry for any Finn fans...I just have no space for a bumbling janitor for the arc.

Well, hope its a adventure others will enjoy, I'll be on a trip but I'll get to the next chapter soon enough, till next time hope you like the chapter enough to leave reviews and till next time.
