Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, Star Wars, the KoTOR games, or Kamen Rider. The Gate Riders are the only original things in this idea!
AN: This is an excerpt of a story idea I had for Tales of the Gate Riders that I eventually gave up. It's supposed to be Raven and Maru, the OC, ending up in the Star Wars universe right after the KoTOR games, and they get to meet Revan. I never finished it, because I gave up on Tales of the Gate Riders. This is all I wrote. Enjoy!
The halls of the Titans Tower was empty save for the lone figure of the Gothic Titans known as Raven, who walked through the halls in search of someone. That someone was none other then her grandfather, the Gate Rider known as Maru. A few weeks ago, Maru was exiled by his own people, the Gate Riders, interdimensional beings who safeguarded the Multiverse. His exile brought him here to Jump City where he eventually found the Titans and learned of Raven as being his granddaughter. After assisting them with a threat of invading aliens, Maru decided to stay with the Titans, so he could spend some time with granddaughter.
"Maru!" Raven called out as she continued to walk down the hall. "Maru where are you? Dinner's ready!"
The Gothic Titan would find her answer when she heard a small explosion coming from Cyborg's room, making her only sigh. 'Looks like he's at it again,' Raven thought as she approached the room of the room of the cybernetic Teen Titan.
When Maru was exiled, the Gate Rider was stripped his of his powers of dimensional travel, making him marooned on Earth. Ever since losing them, Maru would always try to find a way to fix his powers, and most of the time, it did not work out that well. Still, Raven's granddaughter was persistent, so he tried multiple forms; ranging from magical spells to alchemy. No matter how hard he tried none of the methods he used ever worked as he planned.
Raven stood in front of the entrance to Cyborg's room and the door slid open, revealing how different it was from the rest of the rooms. It was full of high-tech equipment that included, sonic cannons, blasters, and so on. There was a small workshop table where Cyborg would work on his inventions, but now Maru stood there instead of Cyborg.
The Gate Rider named wore golden armor over the long, black coat that ran down to his boots. He had golden gauntlets and boots as well as round shoulder guards. He wore a round golden helmet with a silver mouth guard and a pair of antennae between the blue eyes. Around his waist was a white belt with a golden rectangular buckle.
On the workshop table was his G-Book, the golden book that a black, metallic strap around it to keep it sealed shut. It was the object that allowed Maru to travel from one universe to another. In Maru's hands was a cutting torch from Cyborg's equipment trying to cut away the black metal.
Raven stepped into the room and looked at her grandfather. "Maru, what are you doing?" she demanded.
Maru apparently was startled by Raven's words as he was too focused in his work, making the torch strike the metallic strap. Instead of burning it, the strap remained and the torch when flying into the air along with a couple of sparks. "GAH!" Maru cried out as he jolted back from his book.
The Gate Rider momentarily stared at his book to see it was still sealed before looking at his granddaughter. "I almost had it that time!" Maru whined like a little kid trying to fix his bike.
Raven could only roll her eyes at her grandfather. "No, you didn't and you know it. You've been trying to work on that thing for the past few weeks and you still haven't gotten it to open!" she berated Maru. Her gaze softened a bit. "Come on, you should eat something. Dinner's been ready for the past fifteen minutes."
Maru simply waved his hand as he approached his G-Book. "I'll come in five minutes."
When the golden armored Gate Rider placed his hand on his G-Book, a golden aura suddenly engulfed it and floated a few centimeters above the workshop table. Both Raven and Maru looked at the golden G-Book with wide eyes as the room momentarily shook, and a blue vortex shot out it. The blue vortex began to suck the air in Cyborg's room, dragging everything within the room into it, including Maru and Raven, who were able to hold a firm stance.
However, it proved useless as Maru and Raven began skidding against the metallic floor of the cybernetic Titan's room. Eventually, the two found themselves the sucked into the blue portal before it suddenly disappeared. It would only take a while for the others to notice they were missing, and when that happened, they would have quite an adventure trying to find them.
Raven had no idea where she was. One minute she was in Cyborg's room with Maru and the next, she found herself sucked into some kind of vortex. The Gothic Titan found herself and Maru flying through the vortex was a tunnel made of blue energy, with no direction of how to maintain control. "Get us out of here!" Raven shouted to Maru as she tried to stop herself from floating about aimlessly.
The Gate Rider, like Raven, was floating about aimlessly with his G-Book just a few inches away from his hand. Maru stretched out his arm and grabbed it to see the black band was no longer on the golden book. "HOLD ON!" Maru shouted as he opened his book and muttered a couple words.
As soon as Maru said those words, a rip in the vortex opened in front of them, and they found themselves stumbling through the rip, into whatever their destination was. Raven saw dirt and grass before she hit the ground with a loud thud along with Maru. Fortunately, neither of them sustained any major injuries; only small bruises and aches that spread across their bodies. "Ow," Raven moaned as she sat up.
When Raven opened her eyes, she soon found herself in what appeared to be the middle of a forest filled with large trees and large patches of grass spread across the forest floor. "You alright?" she heard.
The question made the Gothic Titan turn her heard to see her grandfather walking towards her with a slight limp on his leg and his G-Book now hanging from the side of his belt. "I'll live," was Raven's response as she stood up. "What was that blue thing?"
Maru looked at her. "That was the vortex that allows Gate Riders to travel. It's a interconnected system of tunnels that go across the Multiverse."
Though Maru's explanation made it seem interesting, Raven asked "Is it usually that hectic?"
"No. Usually, it's smoother than that, but not this time," Maru explained as he looked around his surroundings. "I lost my control on my G-Book. That's why we ended up floating randomly."
Raven accepted that explanation and asked, "So where are we?"
Her grandfather only answered, "Don't know. Usually the G-Book gives me info, but it's damaged now, so it can't."
"Really?" Raven raised an eyebrow. "It does seems familiar."
Maru shrugged at his granddaughter's question before looking at the forest terrain the duo found themselves in. "Well, we should do some exploring," Maru said as he began walking through the forest. "If we're going to find where we are, we should do some exploration."
Raven stood there and watched Maru walking away. "Do you know where you're going through all of this?" she called out to him.
"No!" Maru replied.
She could only sigh as she followed her grandfather through the forest. As she followed Maru, Raven could not help but feel that something was watching them...
