WE'RE BACK FOLKS! 🎉🎉🎉
And let me just say that it's about time I've included this universe in one of my stories. And I have plans for it for sure. While there's not much action in this one, there will be enough with some surprise character appearances. 😁
And I was able to write this inspite of making the mistake of playing Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League.
"Look at him…..Look at how they butchered my boy." Mini-Mav said in disappointing and angry tears when he saw Batman's final cutscene.
Still if you like this game. More power to you. Sure the graphics looks nice and some moments are creative like the return of Poison Ivy as a child and the voice acting between the main characters are well done. And even though I'd prefer to have a Justice League game. I am open to a video game starring the bad guys.
But Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League take advantage of its evil theme of super villain characters, that it acts so mean spirited with poor taste in humor towards the world of DC Comics. The characters that have returned are hardly ever synced with their interpretation in the past Arkham games. All of the Justice League are one dimensional and single noted. The game play and missions are recycled from other open world multi-player games. The enemies are boring with very little variety. The live-service elements are not needed and get in the way of any redeeming qualities the game play might have.
And yes. All the spoilers you read about the Justice League do happen, and let me say it's so unceremonious and treated with little segway. It makes me wonder if these new writers and developers at Rocksteady even know or love the first four Batman games. And for Kevin Conroy's final video game act to end with this is so insulting.
On top of that this game has so many inconsistent plot holes that if they were all written down on a piece of paper. You wouldn't have enough room to write your nickname.
For instance. King Shark is a playable character. Woopie! Remember Batman Assault On Arkham? You know the movie that was tied to the same Arkham series this game is tied to?
HE DIED IN THAT MOVIE?! SO WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING ALIVE IN THIS GAME AND WITH A DIFFERENT BACKGROUND?!
They don't even explain Black Deadshot well enough and think a few jokes could work.
Bottom line. Connecting this game to the Perfected Arkham games that ended on a high note was suicide. Pun intended.
I'm gonna give Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League a 3 out of 10. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Alright. Now that the ranting is out of the way. Let's move on to answering some comments. ⌨️
SPYRO 101: Oh yeah. The old little crab jinxed himself. Thanks for helping with this chapter. 😂👍
MavXMel: Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying this story. It's not a bad idea but I got something else for the last few worlds in this story. I might save the 20 Thousand League Under The Sea idea for maybe a spin off short story. I just need to watch the movie. 👍
RustyPete12: Yeah this one was tricky to write. But I'm glad you weren't disappointed. I hope you're an admirer of George Lucas' films. Cause you might love this chapter more. 😁👍
Alright! Now that we're all here!
LET'S GET DANGEROUS! 😎
A Galaxy Far Far Away.
Later that evening in Time Square...
After they got dressed into more modern attire. Connor and Melody left the Mav Club and Atlantis for the evening to spend some time in the entertainment center of the City That Never Sleeps. Connor brought Melody in via the subway trains. Made sure she stayed close so she wouldn't wander off. And brought her out of the entrance to see all of the screens and neon lights around Broadway. As they illuminated the evening sky.
Connor was wearing some black sneakers with a pair of dark long jeans. And a dark green shirt with a black leather jacket.
While Melody was wearing her blue leather jacket underneath a white t-shirt. And some long pink salmon trousers with a pair of white sneakers.
She even had her shell necklace still on and a pink shell anklet around her left ankle and a pink shell bracelet around her right wrist.
"Well? What do you think?" Connor asked his girlfriend as they stood in the middle of time square.
"This place is amazing. I've never seen so many bright lights in one place." Melody said in awe as she looked at all the lights and screens with advertisements on them, looking at them with excitement and curiosity. "Hey, what's Bud Light?"
Connor looked up at the Bud Light screen ad and he walked up and patted her shoulder with an amusing grin. "It's beer, Mel. Beer." Connor deadpanned.
"Oh, yuck." Melody said with a cringe. "I've always hated the smell of beer."
"So do I. I did a extremely stupid stunt once by using my Mav suit to pretend I was thirty years old. But I stopped a robbery and the cashier gifted me with a fre bottle of bud light. I took a sip. And immediately regretted it." Connor said with disgust.
"Ooh, that's rough." Melody said with sympathy. "What did it taste like?"
"It's probably just my young tongue at the time. But otherwise It tasted like my uncle's Proud Snack dipped in stomach acid." Connor said which made Melody cringe. Before he changed the subject. "Anyway what's boiling the adrenaline first? Wanna start shopping? A meal? Or a Broadway show?"
"How about everything in that order?" Melody suggested. "We can go shopping, then get some food, then finish it off with a show."
"Technically Miles and I go backwards in that order." They heard and turned to see Miles Morales and Anya Corazon.
Also known as Spider-Man and Spider-Woman.
Miles was wearing a pair of dark jeans with red sneakers, and a dark t-shirt with the Puerto Rico flag on it. While Anya was wearing a pair of white and purple sneakers with long blue jeans and a navy striped sweater.
"Miles! Anya! So glad to see you guys." Melody said before giving Anya a hug. "And you both look great."
"So do you, Ocean Queen." Anya beamed as she hugged her back.
"It's kinda rare to see you hang those web shooters up for one night." Connor remarked as he fistbumped Miles.
"Hey, it's not like I make a habit of it." Miles remarked. "Besides, Peter's taken the night shift, letting me take the night off."
Just then they saw a group of police cars driving by with the sirens blasting. And up above, the original Amazing Spider-Man was seen swinging by. Obviously to go and fight crime before bed time.
"See what I mean?" Miles remarked.
"We just booked five tickets for the next showing of Hamilton." Anya showed the tickets.
"I call dibs on the last bid!" Mini Mav called out from below them and he reached up for his ticket.
Yeah. They brought Mini Mav along. Especially since Melody found him too adorable to say no to. And Connor found Melody's puppy face to be a sin to say no to.
"Yeah I brought him. He was quiet for Fiddler On The Roof." Connor stated why he brought Mini Mav.
"And I'm sure he'll be good for this show." Melody said before handing Min-Mav his ticket. "Here you go, little guy."
And as they were walking over to stand in line to the broadway entry lobby. Mini Mav was toddling next to Melody like a toddler. Most people figured that's what he was judging by his size.
"I should also give you a heads up. The girls and I are almost done, putting together that secret project we were talking about." Anya whispered to Melody while she was gesturing down at Mini Mav.
Riri Williams. Ramone Watts and Anya Corazon all got together to build something special for Mini Mav. And they won't give away the surprise yet. The only one they told was Melody who promised to keep it a surprise.
"Great. I can't wait to see his face when he sees our surprise for him." Melody whispered with a smirk.
So far this date was going well. Connor and Melody got to sit next to each other while watching the show and Mini Mav was glued to the stage and was completely quiet the whole time. After that it was a meal of cheese burgers and afterwards a time to go shopping at the many places Time Square had. Melody still went on shopping way past the time Miles and Anya were burnt out and said goodnight while wishing Connor luck for him to make it.
Everyone was glad that Connor found love though. And he'd do anything for Melody. Even if it killed him or mentally killed him.
Later that night at Connor's bedroom...
Connor made it back to his awesome bedroom in Atlantis. Where he collapsed on the bed. Wearing a black tank top. Red shorts and black socks as he collapsed face down on the pillows.
His bedroom couch had shopping bags all over it. Most of it was stuff Connor let Melody buy. I mean a girl from 18th century Denmark is placed in Time Square. On top of that she's been working hard and doing so much good without ever asking for anything in return.
She earned it. Even if Connor was drained.
"Uuuuh...I'm tapped out, Sarge. I held out as long as I could. But they got me." Connor groaned and muffled under the pillow as his face was planted there.
"Are you kidding? I feel like I could go for several more hours." Melody said in a giddy tone, sitting on his bed while wearing a salmon colored T-shirt with a shell on it and green shorts while barefoot. "I had so much fun tonight! Best date ever!"
"But did you have to make me carry all the bags?!" Connor whined and muffled under the pillow.
"Oh come on, ya big Drama Queen. You're so strong, you could've carried ten times as many bags as those ones." Melody said smugly as she leaned over his back like a pillow.
"But having to carry all of those famine products, dolls and perfume drains my holy masculinity, girl. You've practically become Atlantean Kryptonite and I was your first victim." Connor muffled.
"I thought I was already your Kryptonite." Melody said smugly.
"More like a symbiote. Cause you like to make me do things out of character, like carry girly shit like Wal-Mart groceries. And yet you've make me feel good and I don't know if you're good for me or bad for me." Connor ranted humorously which made Melody laugh a bit as he spoke.
"Oh? And what if I am bad for you?" Melody asked playfully as she snuggled closer to him. "What're you gonna do about it?"
"Nothing. I'm just gonna wait for the end to come." Connor sighed in a teasing tone as he turned around on his back and posed like a dead guy.
"Well, that's a shame. Then I guess that means you won't be able to kiss me anymore." Melody pouted playfully.
"Kay now you're just giving me a glimpse of hell. And I ain't goin out like that." Connor quickly said in fake horror.
"Then what are you gonna do about it then?" Melody asked with a playful tone and smirk.
"Don't tempt me, Girl." Connor playfully warned.
"Oh, I'm tempting you, Mr." Melody said back.
"Oh is that how it is?" Connor gawked.
"You heard me." Melody said back.
"Alright. I'm gonna give you a five second head start to run before I destroy you." Connor said as he pick up a toy water gun.
A Nerf Super Soaker XP30-AP water blaster. And he cocked it.
"Oh, you wouldn't dare." Melody said with a smirk as she slowly backed up.
"My sheets and everything in this room is water proof. Except you." Connor smirked mischievously as he aimed his water blaster at her.
"Eeeek!" Melody squealed and ran for cover, avoiding the blast of water.
From where she hid, she found another water gun.
"Oh, it's on now!" Melody exclaimed as she grabbed the water gun and fired back.
Connor was impressed by how Melody dove behins the couch and quickly found the other water blaster.
"Over your soaked body!" Connor declared in a deep voice. As he shot some water at her.
***Squirt! Squirt! Squirt! Squirt!***
"Ahh!" Melody squealed as she was hit with water. "Oh, I'm gonna drench you."
"Bring it, Fish Fingers." Connor gestured in a challenging taunt. And she jumped and flipped and took cover behind a lounge chair. While Melody took cover behind the couch.
Suck this, blowfish." Melody said as she ran from behind the couch, her bare feet making a patter sound as she ran and shot more water at Connor.
Connor ducked and shot more water at Melody who rolled and shot at Connor's head.
***Squirt! Squirt! Squirt!***
"ah! cheapshot! Like a high water bill." Connor quipped as he shot another round at Melody who dodged his shots.
***Squirt! Squirt! Squirt!***
"Ha! Ya missed!" Melody taunted before firing back at Connor.
Connor flipped and twirled in the air before he shot a counter shot at her. Hoping it would land. "Zip!" He mused.
"Nope." Melody said as she dodged. "You're a terrible shot."
"Beginners luck, Baby!" Connor called out as he jumped over the couch and slid over to take a quick shot towards Melody's bare feet to score some points.
***Squirt Squirt Squirt!***
"Ah!" Melody exclaimed as her bare feet were hit. "Oh, you are asking for it now."
"Ah don't be a baby, Jacques Cousteau. You practically get wet on a daily basis." Connor taunted amusingly about Melody's habit of swimming every day. Before he quickly constructed a neon brick wall to block Melody's next squirts.
****Squirt! Squirt! Squirt!***
"Oh, so we can use our powers then?" Melody asked before her smirk became dangerous. "You just opened up the floodgates, Mr."
Connor smugly moonwalked out of the brick wall in a neon forcefield bubble. Obviously Melody can't get him in there. Or can she?
"You can only manipulate H2O, Shelly. You can't make it." Connor mockingly stated.
Melody just looked smug and summoned her keyblade.
"You should not underestimate me so easily." Melody said before using a water spell on her keyblade, allowing her to start flooding Connor's force field bubble with water.
"Oh shit." Connor gulped.
***Waaash!***
His forcefield filled up instantly with water. And Connor was sound around gurgling and bubbling inside the neon field filled with water.
"Blblblblblblbll!" Connor echoed under the water.
Before he dropped the neon forcefield and splashed on the ground completely drenched and acting like he was shot. "Ya got me, foo..." Connor exhaled like a dying thug.
And then he limped humorously over to Melody and collapsed on the ground in front. "Come closer, Doll...It's getting dark." Connor exhaled like he was dying. But Melody found this to be hilarious.
Melody giggled at his antics and kneeled in front of him.
"Yes, Connor?" Melody asked with a smirk as she looked at her boyfriend.
Connor automatically played some sad violin music from his stereo. As he coughed in another direction before he dramatically looked at his girlfriend. "Tell Auntie Em to let Toto dump wherever he likes." Connor choked in a western tone.
Then he coughed in the other direction again. Before he looked at her again. "Tell Tiny Tim father ain't comin home this Christmas." Connor spoke in a British accent.
Then Connor looked over to cough more dramatically before he jerked his head back to look seriously at Melody. "Tell Scarlet I do give a damn." He exhaled like a star actor from Gone With The Wind. Then he breathed out and dropped to the ground like he was dead.
Or rather Connor was acting like he was dead.
Melody couldn't hold it in anymore and broke into giggles.
"Oh woe is me. What ever shall I do?" Melody said dramatically while giggling.
Just then. Mini Mav landed in front of Melody with a water pistol aimed at her. And wearing a police hat.
"Stop right there! Why did you murder him?!" Mini Mav demanded while mimicking a cop with an Irish accent.
Now he's in the game. Melody giggled and raised her hands in surrender.
"Don't shoot! I surrender!" Melody exclaimed dramatically.
"You're under arrest for crossing some red lights! Tax evasion and being so damn hot!" Mini Mav exclaimed.
"Achem?" Connor inquired while he was on the ground with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh yeah and killing the Maverick." Mini Mav added.
"It was self-defense. He fired first." Melody said dramatically.
"Actually you provoked me so you started it." Connor pointed out while he was still playing dead.
"No talking, Mr. You're dead!" Melody said with a smirk.
"Oh yeah. Ulck! Lady Gaga's bra!" Connor faked a choke before he played dead some more.
"So as I said, self-defense, officer." Melody said.
"No excuses! You're under arrest and sentenced to bed." Mini Mav said with an irish police accent as he pointed at the bed.
Melody giggled and picked Mini-Mav up before standing.
"Whatever you say, Officer." Melody said as she walked around Connor who was still lying on the floor, pretending to be dead.
"Can I stop playing dead now? This floor feels like detention." Connor called over.
Melody giggled as she got on the bed.
"Get up here, you drama queen." Melody said with a smirk.
Connor teleported over on the bed behind her instantly. "Boo." Connor smirked to startle her. Which worked.
"Ahhh!" Melody screamed and jumped before punching him lightly on the arm. "Very funny, you jerk."
"Aww you mad, Baby? Besides we're even now after you tried to drown me and Officer Shorty can left you off the hook." Connor remarked with a smirk.
"You've been pardoned but remember. I'm watching ya, Lassy." Mini Mav warned with an Irish cop accent.
"Oh, you boys." Melody said with a cute pout and a huff.
"Technically I'm half Free Willy minus the mediocre, so I can't drown." Connor shrugged as she tucked his arms around her. "I found a special ice cream for you. Will that make it up to you?"
Melody's face lit up.
"What kind of ice cream are we talking about here?" Melody asked.
Connor smirked as he teleported over to the mini fridge and pulled out two blue ice cream bars on popsicle sticks and then he teleported back over to Melody.
"This is one hell of a treat I got out of Twilight Town a month back. It's called Sea Salt Ice Cream." Connor said as he handed one to Melody and kept the other one.
"Sea Salt ice cream?" Melody asked in wonder before tasting her treat. After one lick, her eyes widened in delight. "It's salty, but sweet at the same time. This is amazing!"
"I know! And it's so damn close to home to the H2O we breathe. It's like the air turned into a non alcoholic fruit drink." Connor exhaled blissfully as he slurped on his ice cream a bit.
Sea Salt is what he breathes. Especially Melody when she's a mermaid.
"I don't think I could go back to regular ice cream ever again." Melody said as she enjoyed her frozen treat.
"Oh I felt the same way...Course I need a variety in what I eat. But not with whom I kiss." Connor winked at his girlfriend as he was enjoying his ice cream.
"Good. Because my lips better be the only ones you're addicted to." Melody said with a smirk as she ate her ice cream.
"Well that and video games. Basketball. Extreme sports. Barbecues. And making music." Connor remarked. "For you it's swimming. Me. And swimming in me." He winked an innuendo.
"And I'm the second round!" Mini Mav declared humorously.
"Yes you are, Sweetie." Melody said, patting the top of his head.
Every now and then it's fun for kids to just be kids. Especially for this couple. The rest of the night went smoothly. Even with the knowledge of knowing that when they wake up. They have to head out for the next world. Connor wishes he could drop everything and hang out with Melody more in his world. But they're the Guardians of the Depths. And they've got a job to do.
The next morning in the Mav Club...
Connor and Melody were standing in the briefing room wearing their keyblade outfits. Noctis and his team were there. Listening in on what Lunafreya has for them.
"Alright, Luna. Tell us what you've got." Prompto encouraged Noctis' girlfriend.
Luna nodded as she protected a type of world that was more like another galaxy. With so many different planets in it.
"As you probably all heard, one of the pearl shards has been broken into three fragments. But thanks to the help I received from priests of the Inevire Tower, I was able to locate one of the three missing fragments." Lunafreya said as she gestured towards the projection of the galaxy in front of them
"Okay?...Is it just me or does it look shattered?" Prompto noticed the dimensional blue tares in between the alternate galaxy." Prompto.
"Or broken." Goofy added.
"Or all three!" Mini Mav declared.
"Oh brother." Donald facepalmed.
"Hold up. Either ya'll or pulling my leg or ya'll haven't read Flashpoint. Cause those look like dimensional Rips." Connor pointed out.
"Cracks between time and space." Ignis figured.
"And here we thought it was a walk through the old neighborhood." Gladiolus sighed.
Melody's eyes widened in realization.
"You guys have been to this galaxy before?" Melody asked.
"Yes, we have. The resistance and I pulled off several jobs down on the planet Coruscant." Gladiolus said with a smirk, knowing him saying that was going to get quite the reaction.
Connor mentally did a double take on what he just heard.
"Oh oh oh! I would like a Coruscant! Steamed and with butter and honey on it! But not with tea." Mini Mav beamed.
"We'll add your eating mods later." Connor quickly said before he held his hands up while pondering what he just heard. "Did you say...Coruscant? As in...the major city from the Star Wars prequels and Clone Wars series?"
"The very same." Ignis said with a smirk as he adjusted his glasses, making the lenses shine.
"Ooooh f..." Connor breathed out in shock as he turned to hunch over his knees.
"Okay. I feel like I'm missing something here." Melody said in confusion with her arms crossed and tapping one of her bare feet on the floor.
Melody being new to the modern world and pop cultures. She hasn't heard and hasn't been caught up in the Star Wars franchise. So she's completely confused.
"Okay what specific era is taking place here? What's going on at this moment?" Connor quickly asked them.
"From what we were able to gather, the Separatist Count Dooku has been killed in battle. And as we speak, the Republic army is in battle against General Grievous." Lunafreya answered with a small frown.
"Then you all know what's about to happen, right? Or is this a 'time is fixed and not for us to change' shit?" Connor said with urgency.
"Honestly, we're not sure." Gladiolus said with a shrug.
"We didn't exactly have much chance to watch much of the prequels or TV shows on account of how long they are." Prompto said.
"Not to mention the low ratings the prequels got." Ignis said.
"Seriously?! You guys travel to this place all the time and you have no idea how the story ends?!" Connor criticized in shock and feeling weirded out.
"It's not our fault, Kid. We're in the middle of our own war against Attuma for Atlantis. We couldn't just jump into another conflict just to interfere with another world's history." Gladiolus defended.
Connor had a serious look. 'So that's how it is, huh?'
"You're right. It's my job to interfere." Connor stated before he looked at his team. "Guardians head inside the ship. I'll debrief you on the mission while on board."
Donald and Goofy looked concerned as they walked out to go inside the ship. Along with Mini Mav who went to fetch Dug.
"Could someone please tell me what the heck is going on here?" Melody asked.
"Preventing the death of countless lives. That's what." Connor replied seriously as he walked out and Melody exhaled and followed after him.
"You do what you will, Connor. But don't forget that we need you to find the shard fragment if we are to have a chance at preventing the destruction of all reality itself." Gladiolus said with a firm voice.
"That's why you're going too, Beefcake. To get the shard." Connor replied without turning back.
After Connor and his team walked out. Noctis looked confused by his former best friend's negativity.
"What was that all about?" Noctis asked them.
"The Galaxy that we've been speaking about and its history are well known through a series of movies and shows. So he knows exactly what events have already transpired and what is to come." Gladiolus explained.
"And apparently what's happening right now is leading up to something really bad happening." Prompto said with a sigh. "And I guess he's a bit miffed at us for not doing more or anything about it."
"Unfortunately, our fight against Attuma has drawn much of our focus towards stopping him and his forces and away from the issues of the other worlds." Ignis said, adjusting his glasses. "A regrettable situation, but our forces have been stretched too thin to be able to have an impact on the troubles of that Galaxy."
Noctis looked out to where Connor went feeling a bit worried. A part of him, a deep part of him wanted to go with him and help him. But his team was right. The war has to come first. A lot is at stake. And their first priority is to find the shard.
And it's somewhere in the Star Wars Universe.
Later on the Stingray II...
The Guardians ship was flying across the stars between time and space as Connor took the time to explain how the galaxy of Star Wars works. He explained about the Republic. The enemy Separatists. The Jedi and the Sith. The Force and the Darkside. Everything about it.
Connor spoke as everyone was seated on the bridge.
"And the force gives the Jedi sick abilities like levitation. Mind reading. Agility. Extra senses. Mind manipulation. And maybe a few other abilities." Connor explained.
"Wow. That's amazing. So Jedi are kind of like Keyblade wielders in a way, huh?" Melody asked.
"Yeah sure, if we also like samurai monks. Cause they've got strict laws against Jedi having common human necessities. Like romance." Connor snorted.
"What!?" Melody screeched in shock and horror. "They don't allow romance?! How could they be against that?!"
"Apparently they're all about serenity and shit. They see having love as a weakness that can be exploited." Connor replied.
"That's absolutely ridiculous!" Melody exclaimed in rising anger. "Love is what makes us stronger than ever!"
"And to think. Up until now I just thought this was lame writing from Star Wars' director George Lucas. Now I'm being told that all of this is real. I couldn't have picked a better ***king time." Connor exhaled knowing what's about to happen.
"What do you mean? I mean, I know you told me about the conflict going on there right now. But you sound like everything's about to go to hell in a handbasket." Melody said.
"That guy I talked about. Anakin Skywalker. He's involved with a secret marriage with a Senator and former queen of Planet Naboo. Padmé Amidala." Connor explained and muttered. "Played by the star actress of Black Swan."
"Really? That's so sweet." Melody gushed. "It's a forbidden romance like Romeo and Juliet."
"Yeah but it also inadvertently resulted in the biggest threat to the galaxy. Right now. Padme is pregnant with twins, who are two of the main protagonists of the first three films. The stories that took place almost twenty years after this story will take place. But right now the third prequel is happening. Anakin had a dream, a vision of his wife dying while giving birth to their children. And since he's determined to prevent that from happening. He's in a predicament. With no one to turn to and no Jedi to tell. He's turned to the wrong guy. The Supreme Chancellor Palpatine who secretly is the Sith Lord, Darth Sideous." Connor said grimly.
Melody gasped hearing this.
"So that monster used Anakin's desperation to save his wife to turn him to the dark side?" Melody asked.
"And if we don't save him on time. Anakin will become the galaxy's biggest threat. Darth Vader." Connor displayed the half man half machine villain on holograms and scenes from the original trilogy of Darth Vader.
"Oooh. That's the movie he means." Goofy whispered in realization while Donald gave him a look.
"He'll purge all the Jedi. Killing all the men. Women and children in their ranks. The clone troopers also have a protocol programming in their brains to turn them against the Jedi, Palpatine called Order 66." Connor grimly stated. "And it will be the start of a galactic empire that will span on for years. Many people will die. Lives ruined. It's gonna be ***king chaos."
"Oh my God. That's just terrible." Melody said before her eyes narrowed in determination. "How do we stop this from happening?"
"We need to convince Anakin that he's being conned. By now he already found out that Chancellor Palpatine is the Sith Lord. But he's so convinced that Palpatine holds a hidden secret in the Dark Side to save his wife from death." Connor explained.
"And he can't turn to his friends or allies because his marriage is a secret." Goofy figured.
"Then we better hurry and show Anakin that he's not alone in this before it's too late." Melody said.
"Not just that. He has to know that Palpatine was the one who gave Anakin that nightmare of his wife dying...And to think, I actually own this film in my 4k collection back home." Connor sighed as he kept flying the ship.
"I'm sure it was quite a shock for you to learn that the movies you thought were fiction were actually real the whole time." Melody said.
"I gotta warn you though. Most creatures you'll see in this world are civilized. And some are just un-domesticated. Plus I think there were a few chatty folks that are just as tiny as Sebastian...Speaking of which, where is he?" Connor said and looked back wondering.
***"Arf arf!"*** Dug barked down stairs as the dog ran up panting happily with something red caught in his mouth. "Ball!"
Only it wasn't a ball. It's Sebastian hiding in his shell.
"Get me out of dis mouth." Sebastian whispered desperately.
"Oh darn. Hold on Sebastian." Melody said as she quickly made her way over to Dug. "Dug, drop him."
"Oh man." Dug sighed before dropping Sebastian into her hands.
"Thank you Dug." Melody said before addressing Sebastian in her hands. "You okay, Sebastian?"
Sebastian gasped out and extended from his shell before he wiped some drool off. "Just peachy." Sebastian deadpanned.
"Think of it this way, Krusty. You're not guarding anymore rebellious teens. Or gorgeous pre-teens. You're just gonna get front row seats of the action and tell your King all about what he's missing." Connor remarked from the chair.
Just then Jiminy Cricket hopped on the dashboard in front of Connor and the team.
"Any advice from a certified conscience?" Connor asked the cricket.
"Well first off, I wouldn't tell Anakin or anyone there about the films. Anakin or anyone else might take it personally if they know their lives are films for entertainment." Jiminy said. "You can warn them about their mistakes."
Connor nodded before he pulled up his A.I. "FELICITY?"
'Yes Maverick?' FELICITY answered.
"I need you to put all records, footage and references around the Star Wars films on lock down. Don't show them to anyone except to us privately on our optical connections." Connor instructed.
'Excellent precautionary measure. I will shift the safeguards immediately.' FELICITY responded in agreement.
"Alright. Sit back Guardians. We're about to enter the universe of Hollywood's most expensive and controversial franchise ever made." Connor smirked as he drove up to the quantum tunnel straight ahead.
The Guardians were prepared. For they were about to enter somewhere that one would describe was 'a long time ago in a galaxy far far away'.
Down at a Republic Base on Planet Corusant...
The Republic Clone Troopers were mounting up and setting up on drop ships. Readying to take off to join a battle lead by General Obi-Wan Kenobi, against a Separatist outpost on Planet Utapau where General Grievous was hiding the Separatist Council. So far it was a winning battle for the Republic. But they needed more troopers to make sure of it.
However in the midst of this impending victory. Some dark secrets were revealed within the ranks of the Galactic Senate. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine is that dark secret.
And the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker has discovered this dark secret. He made his way to Master Mace Windu who was with three other Jedi Masters. Kit Fisto. Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin.
Anakin came to warn them. And Mace Windu was the first to address him.
"Skywalker." Windu said in greeting before the two started walking and conversing. "We just received word that Obi-Wan has destroyed General Grievous. We're on our way to make sure the Chancellor returns emergency power back to the Senate."
"He won't give up his power. I've just learned a terrible truth." Anakin said, getting Windu's attention as they came to a stop. "I think Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord."
This really got Windu's attention, making his eyes narrow as he stepped closer to Anakin.
"A Sith Lord?" Windu asked, making sure he heard correctly.
"Yes. The one we've been looking for." Anakin said with a serious tone.
"How do you know this?" Windu questioned.
"He knows the ways of the Force. He's been trained to use the Dark Side." Anakin answered.
"Are you sure?" Windu asked.
"Absolutely." Anakin said.
"Then our worst fears have been realized." Windu said with a heavy tone before the two started walking towards a transport shuttle. "We must move quickly if the Jedi order is to survive."
"Master, the Chancellor is very powerful. You'll need my help if you're going to arrest him." Anakin said.
"For your own good, stay out of this affair. I sense a great deal of confusion in you, young Skywalker. There is much fear that clouds your judgement." Windu said.
"I must go, Master." Anakin protested.
"No." Windu said firmly before Windu walked in front of Anakin as the two stopped. "If what you've told me is true, you will have gained my trust. But for now, remain here. Wait in the Council Chambers until we return."
Anakin's eyes narrowed slightly as Windu stepped onto the shuttle with the other Jedi Masters accompanying him.
"Yes, Master." Anakin said in a slightly low tone before watching the shuttle take off.
Anakin then lowered his head slightly and started walking away, his mind and heart filled with much confusion and doubt.
Anakin was told by Palpatine that the Jedi can not be trusted. That they only do what benefits them. And has no faith in what they can not control. Like they're keeping a secret.
Anakin wasn't sure what to believe considering that Palpatine was doing the same thing. But was he right about having the means to save his wife? The same wife he kept a secret?
Anakin left to go sit at his seat in the Jedi Council chamber to go and do some thinking.
Later at the Jedi Council chamber...
Anakin was about to walk in when he heard a yelp inside and a crash.
*"Woooah!"* A voice yelled.
***Crash!***
Worried that there might be an intruder. He ran in with his lightsaber drawn. And he saw some mouse like figure laying on the floor after crashing through the window. And his skating jet broken in half. It was Emperor Mickey Mouse on the floor. Looking sore.
"Hey, you okay there?" Anakin asked as he walked over and helped Mickey stand up.
"Uh...Gosh...I probably need to fix my ship's teleporter." Mickey said as he stood back up and dusted himself and looked up at the Jedi. "I'm alright. Sorry for the damages. I'll send the money to repair the damages."
"Uh, I appreciate that. But..." Anakin said before looking at him in confusion. "Who are you?"
"Well haha. I'm Mickey Mouse. And I'm with the Meridian Resistance. And I came to warn General Skywalker that there's an attack coming to this world." Mickey said with urgency.
Anakin's eyes widened.
"Well, I'm General Skywalker. But what do you mean there's an attack coming to Coruscant?" Anakin asked with a tinge of concern.
"You? Then...Listen it's important. You gotta show me the way to the Seeing Stone! Ardyn Izunia is about to-" Mickey urgently almost warned until...
***Rip!***
A large blast of Purple and Black tore across the skies of Coruscant. As it formed a dimensional tear through the blue skies. Causing everything in color to fade. Much to the horrors of Anakin and even more so with Mickey.
"No..." Mickey gasped.
Meanwhile back on the Stingray II...
Once they made it through another gateway. Connor was expecting to be in a vast open galaxy of the Star Wars Universe. But instead of seeing so many stars and planets. Everything was dark. Lifeless. Timeless. And colorless. As the ship phased through some asteroids that came out of nowhere.
Much to the Guardians' confusion.
"What the hell? This isn't what it's supposed to look like." Connor furrowed his eyebrows.
"What happened here?" Goofy looked concerned.
"I don't know." Donald added while just as concerned.
"It looks like this universe is falling apart." Melody muttered at the broken Galaxy before them. "Is the shard fragment causing this?"
"No...it's worse. This is caused by an Incursion." Connor figured out by the looks of the tears.
Melody's eyes widened in shock. She read enough Marvel Comics to know what an Incursion is. Those Doctor Strange and Fantastic Four comics are very informative.
"An Incursion? By who?" Melody asked with a troubled look.
"By the looks of these colors. I'd say it's got Ardyn Izunia's crap rubbed all over it." Connor figured with a serious look.
Sebastian gasped, hearing that name.
"I heard dat name during de meetings Ariel had with de Illuminati." Sebastian said with a serious and terrified look. "We've got to be careful here. Dat maniac's powers are unpredictable!"
"I agree. He more than likely, and without a doubt caused the Incursion by mixing his dark power with the Darkside." Jiminy Cricket added.
"That's like two darknesses in one sentence!" Mini Mav dramatically gasped.
"FELICITY. Find us a safe landing." Connor said to the computer.
'On it.' FELICITY said before scanning space for several moments before finding something. 'I'm picking up a safe place to land. It's a planet fragment on the dimensional tear nearby.'
Connor looked ahead and saw a large floating platform of a grassy swamp like forest to land on. And a brighter area of color around the platform. But a dimensional fog was blocking the rest of the area ahead of the platform.
'The atmosphere is sustainable to breathe.' FELICITY added.
"Thanks FELICITY. Guardians, be ready to depart. Jiminy, Sabbathstein. You two wait on the ship. If we're not back or don't report within two hours, use FELICITY to call for help." Connor gave everyone their orders.
"You can count on us." Jiminy said.
"We'll be ready for anything." Sebastian said before looking annoyed. "And it's Sebastian."
Just then as the Stingray flew over and hovered carefully to the landing point. Which was a large bit of grassy field. Once the ship touched down. Everyone came out. Connor. Melody. Who both shifted into their Maverick and Tsunami forms. Donald and Goofy along with Dug and Mini-Mav came as well.
The funny thing is that as they were walking across the platform. They could hear the sound of birds chirping and insects creaking. As if the sound of life was heard. But without any life insight.
"Gee, it feels strangely warm and breezy. Kinda like a swamp at night." Goofy said.
"Uh huh. But there's no swamp in sight. There's not really much of anything." Donald said.
"Do you ever get the feeling you're being watched?" Tsunami asked because she had that feeling.
"Yeah, something's wrong with my eyes. I can't seem to take them off of you." Maverick quipped as he watched how Tsunami's hips swayed in her armored form.
"Oh Connor." Tsunami said amused with an eye roll. "I'm being serious."
"Put your eyeballs back in your head, boy!" Mini Mav snapped humorously at Maverick while wagging his finger.
"Arf arf arf!" Dug barked as he ran ahead to the bushes.
"Dug! Where are you going?! Come back!" Tsunami called after Dug.
"I swear." Maverick muttered as he and Tsunami ran after him. They ran past some of the bushes. And they could hear Dug panting up ahead.
As if he found something. Or someone had found him. Maverick and Tsunami slowed down to see who Dug was panting to.
"Hmmm...Lost are you, little one? Your owners are near?"
Maverick heard a familiar voice up ahead.
"Oh my God." Maverick whispered in shock.
"What is it, Connor?" Tsunami whispered to Maverick. "Who's the short green guy?"
They saw a short little green guy in a white Elder robe. And a wooden cane..sitting on an overturned log patting Dug. Who was panting.
"I really like you, Little Hobo Troll Doll. Master used to scream like a girl whenever you kicked butt on TV." Dug panted as his collar spoke.
It was Master Yoda! In the flesh.
Maverick came over as his Mask eyes were just wider than dinner plates. Tsunami, not receiving an answer, followed Maverick up to Yoda.
"Hi there, Mr. Thank you for finding our friend." Tsunami said to the old Jedi Master. "Sorry if he was bothering you at all."
"Ah bother? No. Bothered, I am not. Only waiting, I am." Yoda smiled at them. As he remained seated.
"That's...Master Yoda. One of my favorite Jedi characters. I should've worn my white pants." Maverick whispered very very quietly to his girlfriend.
Yoda heard this and chuckled.
"An honor, it is, for the Maverick to have heard of me. Waiting for you, since the Incursion began, I have been." Yoda said.
"Wait wait wait, hold up, Tiny Splinter. You've heard of me?" Maverick asked while in still more shock.
"Indeed. Make all things known, the Force does. Lived almost 900 years, I have. Knew the Maverick before you, I did." Yoda said with a fond smile. "Know of it all, I do. The Multiverse. Keyblades. Light and Darkness. Very similar to my universe, it is. Learned and experienced much of it, I have."
"Okay...I need to take a deep breath and soak all of this in..." Maverick exhaled as he formed a neon paper bag and breathed in it. A few times. "Okay I'm good."
A second later, Donald and Goofy along with Mini-Mav showed up and froze at seeing Yoda.
"Goofy? Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Donald asked in a stunned tone.
"If ya mean Yoda, then yes, I'm seeing the same thing." Goofy said with a stunned look.
"SOMEONE SHOOT MY NUTS OFF! I MUST BE DREAMING!" Mini-Mav exclaimed loudly and excitedly.
"They're fans too." Tsunami meekly added.
"Good. Here you all are. Come. Friends of mine you must all meet. And one, you are not expecting." Yoda smiled as he stood up and walked with his cane over to the fog. As he waved his hand. Causing some of it to clear.
But Yoda saw a block on the area with brightly lit fog. And he sighed.
"Weak the Incursion has made some of us to the Force." Yoda shook his head. Before he looked up at Tsunami. "Tsunami. Walk ahead of me, I must ask you. A Princess of pure heart. Invulnerable to Darkness you are."
Tsunami looked intrigued but looked to Maverick who nodded in approval. They can trust Yoda more than anyone.
"Sure thing, Mr. Yoda." Tsunami said as she started walking, not even questioning how he even knew about the Princesses of Heart, figuring he learned about them from the last Maverick.
Maverick and the others followed behind Yoda as Tsunami's pure heart was causing the thick white fog ahead to clear as she walked slowly past it.
"So what happened when the Incursion started?" Tsunami asked.
"Time, in my universe, completely come to a halt, it has." Yoda said with a grim tone. "Only a few escaped the disruption. Everyone else, frozen in time, they are."
"How did you survive? I mean I know you're raw power in a small package but an incursion can suck in anything caught between the rips." Maverick asked as they were walking.
"A few suspicions, I have. But nothing concrete." Yoda answered the Maverick. "Known, all will be, as soon as we meet a friend I have met."
Maverick and the others weren't sure what he meant. Yoda didn't really meet anyone he hadn't known before during this time. At least according to the Star Wars canon stories.
"I'm thinking he met someone from out of town. Like from another universe like us." Maverick whispered to Donald and Goofy.
"Gee, who do you think it might be?" Goofy asked.
"I don't know. Maybe it's the Emperor." Donald guessed.
"Well if you remember the stories, there's only one soon-to-be Emperor that we really need to keep our eyes out for." Maverick said grimly.
Which he was referring to Palpatine.
Once they made it across the fog. They saw two lion-like furry humanoid aliens called Wookies. One with a small amount of armor with black fur. And another with ammo straps and brown fur.
"This is Tarfful. Wookie Chieftain of planet Kashyyyk. And his bodyguard, Chewbacca." Yoda introduced them.
"Raaagh!" Tarfful gave a greeting roar.
"Raaagle!" Chewbacca gave his own greeting.
"Holy..." Maverick gawker and cleared his throat. Before he looked at the Tsunami. "It's alright they're friendly."
"Oh, okay." Tsunami said before addressing the two Wookies. "It's nice to meet you both. I'm Tsunami."
"Raacherah." Chewbacca gave some guttered mild roars as he nodded.
"These two along with a few others made it. Defending their home I was, when it all happened." Yoda smiled.
Suddenly a few Wookie troops and female Wookies came over to stand with Tarfful who roared to tell them that the Guardians are okay. Which made them relieved.
Tsunami felt a tug and saw a tiny Wookie child making a chimy roar as she pointed up at her armor.
"Ragggh..." The Wookie child guttered.
"She says she likes the colors on your armor." Maverick grinned.
Maverick was surprised that he could recognize what they were saying. Then again a Maverick can translate any language across the Multiverse.
"Aww, thanks." Tsunami said as she kneeled down to the child's height. "You're such a Sweetie."
The Wookie child looked timid as it smiled and blushed shyly under her fur. Before she handed Tsunami some flowers from her village. Which were actually an odd design and yet very pretty.
"Oh, they're beautiful." Tsunami said as she accepted them. "Thank you so much, Cutie."
"Raaggh!" The child replied and a happy tone.
Then she heard her mother's call. Before the Wookie child turned and looked back at Tsunami to wave. Before she skipped back over to her parents.
"Alright this is definitely gonna be planted on our ship." Maverick said as he stored the Wookie flowers safely in his ring storage.
"You know, it's the little things like this, that make the hard work of being heroes worth it." Tsunami said.
"I hate to ruin the philosophy. But this isn't a little thing. That guy, Chewie over there. He's one of the main characters from the original trilogy. The guy that played Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford. Was his best friend Han Solo. We've just met Chewie before they met." Maverick muttered to Tsunami.
"Wow. You must really be mustering every last bit of restraint you have not to go all fanboy right now." Tsunami said with a smirk. "Just how long can a Wookie live for anyway?"
"400 standard years. Chewie is almost 190 and still young." Maverick answered.
"Woah!" Tsunami said, shocked and awed. "Geez, do all the people in this galaxy have such great longevity?"
Only certain ones born to be weird in makeup. CGI and animatronics." Maverick quipped.
Yoda then approached them.
"The friend I spoke of. Arrived, he has." Yoda stated as he gestured towards the lake.
Coming out of the fogg was a tall bald man in a blue robe walking over to them. With white glowing eyes. Maverick immediately recognized him. The entity of infinite knowledge and power beyond those of mortal men. Whose philosophy is to only observe and share info.
"Uatu the Watcher." Maverick whispered in surprise.
"Wait, seriously? That's a Watcher?" Tsunami asked in shock.
Maverick nodded as they all looked up. The Wookie stared in awe and moaned in wonderment. While Yoda smiled and gestured for Uatu to proceed with what he had to say.
"Greetings, Guardians of the Depths. I am Uatu, the Watcher. I have been alerted of the Incursion of which has become a thread. Not just to this universe. But to all the Multiverse." Uatu the Watcher spoke in a deep echoed voice.
"That much I could tell." Maverick muttered.
"Do you know how it can be stopped?" Tsunami asked.
"I do. However this action can only be done by the choices you make here. For as a swarn observer of the Multiverse. I cannot interfere. Not like last time. I can only be a guide." Uatu stated.
"We hear ya. You did it last time. Pissed your group off and had your powers taken. Maybe if you help us with this, we can convince the other Watchers to trust you again." Maverick replied.
"Indeed. But saving the Multiverse is all that matters. Listen closely. As we speak, Ardyn Izunia and the Shadow King have allied with Palpatine. And have used their dark essence as a means to start his Incursion. However, they are manipulating the darkness within the heart of Anakin Skywalker to bridge both the present and future events. Influences by Skywalker. All those who know him, and will know him personally are still around." Uatu revealed.
"That's great. They can help us save Anakin from himself and stop the Incursion." Tsunami said enthusiastically.
"Hold on. When you say future. Are we tslking people who aren't born yet? Like almist twenty years later in the future?" Maverick asked.
"Indeed. But they are light years away from the this location and the allies you are to gather." Uatu stated as he turned and used what little power he had to open four different portals on top of the lake. Lined up in a row. "You must acquire four of Skywalker's allies along with whoever is with them."
"Can you tell us the names of those allies?" Tsunami asked.
"Yes. His wife, Padme Amidala. His former apprentice, Ahsoka Tano. Obi-Wan Kenobi. And finally Anakin himself. Choose who to go after first, and make the right choices to not only save this world. But to save Skywalker from the dark fate that awaits him." Uatu listed.
Maverick kept his inner fanboy at bay to speak.
"I say we go after Padme first, she's probably the McGuffin of what Not Vader does next." Maverick suggested.
"Indeed." Yoda nodded with a smile.
"Hold on. You knew about his secret forbidden marriage?" Maverick inquired about Anakin's marriage with Padme.
"Hmm. Known For some time now. I have. However, for me to reveal, it was not. Skywalker's children, important for the future, they will be, no matter what happens. Made this future clear, your arrival has." Yoda said wisely.
"That's...Deep on a heck of a lot of levels." Maverick nodded slowly. Before he looked to the Watcher. "Which portal leads to Padme?"
The Watcher pointed at the portal on the far right.
"Swell. Dug, you're on WatchDog duty. Keep an eye on everyone here." Maverick gave an order to the talking dog.
"Oh boy! I will do a great job! And I can play with all the baby Sasquatches!" Dug exclaimed before running up to one of the young Wookies and tapping him with his nose. "Tag, you're it!"
"Yeah." Maverick deadpanned before he turned to the rest of his team. "Alright, Guardians. Time to go window shopping for Cameos."
"Right. Time to save this galaxy." Tsunami said.
"Alright! Let's get this party started right!" Mini-Mav exclaimed excitedly.
"Remember, we have to be careful not to reveal too much." Donald said.
"Right. We got to protect the world border." Goofy said.
"Order!" Donald snapped.
"Right, world order. Hoo hoo hoo hoo!" Goofy said with a chuckle, making Donald groan in annoyance.
On that note. The Guardians all of the Guardians jumped through the portal. And ended up in another part of the shattered Galaxy...
At the house of Senator Amidala...
At the Senate Apartment Complex in the federal district on Coruscant. Padme's apartment building still stood. And so was the neighborhood. However, Padme's home at the top of the apartment complex was the only place that was still in color and also not frozen in time.
The Guardians stepped through the portal and ended up on the balcony. Maverick looked around and whistled at the exterior of the balcony and how spaced themed and luxurious it was.
"It's nice to see what this looks like without so much CGI." Maverick remarked.
"This place does look amazing." Tsunami muttered as she looked around. "So, where do you think Padme is right now?"
Before Maverick could speak. Suddenly they were the fire of blasters going off.
***PEW PEW PEW!***
"WAAK!" Donald ducked behind an overturned table.
Goofy hid with him while Maverick and Tsunami hid by the entrance corners. Maverick peaked his head inside to see a small squad of Separatist Battle Droids blasting at a steel closet door. The same battle droids that were beige colored, skinny with claw arms. Atannas. Skinny robot legs and needle mosquito-like heads.
"Keep firing!" One battle droid said.
"Roger roger!" Another one answered.
"Ah great. Them." Maverick deadpanned.
"Are those those battle droids you mentioned?" Tsunami asked.
"Pretty much. I thought they'd look thicker. Guess the camera really does add 80 pounds, am I right, Mini-Me?" Maverick snorted as he looked back. "Where did he go?"
Mini-Mav wasn't there. He was already in action.
"OW! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!" A battle droid ran around while Mini-Mav gripped its neck from behind while smacking its head with a wrench.
"What is that?" Another Battle droid inquired.
"Awe, it's kinda cute." Another Battle Droid said.
"You think everything small is cute." Another Battle Droid snorted.
"Nuh huh!" The Battle Droid said back with a head shake.
Then Mini-Mav flipped and tossed the droid he was on crashing out the window.
"Hey!" One of the Battle Droids yelled and pointed as they began to fire at Mini-Mav. Only for Maverick to blast the squad with a neon ray. Blowing them to pieces.
Suddenly more were coming in from the main entrance. Along with some Super Battle Droids.
"Hey look! More guests on the list!" Maverick quipped as he summoned his keyblade.
"Hope they brought their liability waivers." Tsunami said as she summoned her keyblade.
Just then Maverick and Tsunami rushed over and slashed at the Battle Droids. Blocking their blasts and slashing through them into pieces. Goofy and Donald ran in striking fire and thunder spells at the Super Battle droids.
Mini-Mav was zipping through them. Using his upgraded gear shift chainsaw arms to cut through seven battle droids and he pointed at the last one.
"Say my name! SAY IT!" Mini-Mav demanded.
"Uh... little Mighty Medal?" The Battle Droid guessed fearfully.
Then Mini-Mav backed down. "You win this round, Needle Nose. You're free to go." He pointed out the window.
"Oh thank you!" The Battle Droid sighed with relief before it jumped out the window and fell. "I'm an moroooooon!"
To wrap up the party. Maverick spun his keyblade and shifted into a trident. And he thrusted it to summon a rush of water. While Tsunami manipulated the water to flood all the rest of the droids out the window.
Thus ending the fight.
"That's all they wrote." Maverick remarked as he spun his trident-blade and made it vanish.
"That was rather easy." Tsunami said before facing the door and calling out. "Hello? Anyone in there? It's safe to come out now."
Just then a golden humanoid droid came out of hiding with a white two limb wheel droid with a blue color scheme. Maverick instantly recognized them as C-3PO and R2-D2.
"Oh! Thank the maker you all have arrived! I thought for sure we were all going to be recycled for sure!" C-3PO cried out in sweet relief.
***"Beeepy-beep-beep-beep-boop!"*** R2-D2 beeped as he rolled up with him.
"Mel. I need you to shoot my foot, cause I might be dreaming." Maverick exhaled quietly in shock.
"Yeah, no. I'm not gonna do that." Tsunami said in amusement. "Hello there. I'm Tsunami."
"Well hello to you too, Tsunami. I am C- 3PO, human-cyborg relations." C-3PO greeted before he gestured to R2. "And this good for nothing show off, is my good friend, R2-D2."
***"Beep-bee-bee-boop-bee-doo-weep"*** R2-D2 beeped a greeting as his head spun a bit.
"Well, it's nice to meet the two of you." Tsunami said with a smile.
"Call me Maverick, this is Mini-Mav. And those two are our panhandlers Donald and Goofy." Maverick did some introductions with a little tease.
"We come in peace." Mini-Mav said dramatically.
"Hiya there. Ahyuck!" Goofy greeted.
"Glad we could help." Donald said with a nod before he glared at Maverick. "Hey! Who are you calling panhandlers?!"
"We hate to sound rushed like your future's future will be, but we need to find the Senator. Do you know where she is?" Maverick asked the two droids.
*"In here!"* They heard a female voice say.
Maverick looked over to see a pregnant lady in a white Senate attire with her hair up in a bun exit out. Maverick recognized her as Padme.
"Senator Amidala? We're with Yoda and a couple of allies. We came to rescue you." Tsunami addressed her.
"Master Yoda sent you?" Padme asked before looking concerned. "Has anyone else made it?"
"A few others. Practically everyone you know closely. Even your husband." Maverick stated.
Padme was caught off guard when Maverick said husband. Because she hid her marriage well. Even her pregnancy isn't even obvious under that dress.
"My husband?" Padme exclaimed in mild skepticism. "I don't have a husband."
"It's okay. Your secret and Anakin's secret are safe with us. We're gonna go find him." Maverick assured.
"But we have you to come with us. We need to make sure you're safe." Tsunami insisted in a soft tone.
"It's okay. You can trust us." Goofy assured with a smile.
"Yeah. We're the Guardians of the Depths." Donald added.
"And we're only dangerous to the dangerous." Mini-Mav declared.
Padme could tell they were being sincere. Especially the droids who were whispering. But she was still confused and uneasy about all of this.
"I recommend that we go with them, Miss Padme. We all would've been dead if not for them taking care of those droids." C-3PO stated to Padme.
***"Beep-Beepy-Beep-Boop!"*** R2-D2 agreed.
Padme took a moment to think it over before answering.
"Okay. I'll go with you guys." Padme said.
The Guardians smiled and nodded as Tsunami helped guide Padme over to the portal they came through. While the other Guardians followed with 3PO and R2.
"One down. Three more to go." Maverick beamed as he pumped his fist discreetly.
Maverick still couldn't believe it. he hasn't been this pumped since meeting all of his heroes up in the Marvel Universe. Sure he had his own personal grief and conflict going on at the time but he was thrilled at the same time.
Now he got to meet some more icons from his childhood. And it's from the most popular space themed franchise. And now he's about to meet several more.
This world may be broken. But it still has value and is still trying to live. Maverick figure this Incursion is a perfect metaphor for what the current Star Wars franchise is going through now. But he dismissed it. His team was needed. And he was about to meet some more familiar faces of the Star Wars universe.
Maverick has never been more proud to be a keyblader and a Guardian of the Depths.
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS! 🎉🎉🎉
Whew! Yeah I couldn't decide whether to do the original trilogy or the prequels. I'm never gonna do one about the Sequel Trilogy and since Clone Wars and those Disney Plus shows made me stop hating the prequels. I think it's safe to say that I chose the one prequel I liked more than the first two. 👌
"Did ya'll get all of that?! Cause I'm lost!" Maverick called out.
So yeah as you can tell. The goal is to do a No Way Home scenario of saving Anakin and the galaxy from the fate of Revenge Of The Sith. This won't affect the cannon universe obviously. But since Connor's Multiverse is a What If variant Multiverse. Anything is possible.
Will he succeed and save Anakin from becoming Darth Vader? Will they defeat the Sith known as Palatine and end the war early?
Find out soon in the next chapter!
