Chapter 9

Hunters on the loose

Week 1: Day 7

(Serena's POV)

"I seriously hope this works." I quietly said to myself as is stood on top of a steel catwalk looking into the Raptor holding pen holding a old gym bag. It was the middle of the night around the facility. Elaia was well past asleep with Mu guarding her with a few turrets Johnathan brought back. They are adorable yet will turn anything that crosses them into Swiss cheese in 0.2 seconds flat. The area around the steel pen was dry desert with a dozen flat roof houses littering the area, huge barbed wire fence in the distance that surrounded the entire facility with a few dirt roads between. Nuclear reactor towered over the compound, that is where we get all the power to run all the equipment. Loud primal screams could be heard from within along with steel being bent. Inside the pen was covered in trees of all sorts, few worn dirt paths from when the three do their daily exercises. Air felt like I was in a walk in freezer, though inside the pen I bet it feels like a day in the tropics. Command uses Raptors in 'Search and rescue' operation for the most part, as well as extermination missions. Most notably when explorers go rogue. In front of the pen was the largest Portal projector I've ever seen, mainly used to transport vehicles and Titan style Mechs. Sometimes drop ships if it's in space. Just in case a 'Code Black' is declared. In simple terms, all out war and evacuations. We got enough space here to house over 300,000 individuals easy. It almost looked like a StarGate but with more wires and spinning Tesla coils. Owen's idea better work. I don't want to spend extra time looking for these girls as well as Johnathan. Raptors have a sense of smell ten times better than a bloodhound's, if anyone can find him they can. I hope Johnathan is alone, these girls don't do very well in a populated areas.

"The girls are all set!" Owen yelled as he ran up the ladder with a wireless remote. "Just need to fire up the projector and we're good to go." I am beyond grateful he is willing to give five years of hard work just to help find Johnathan. I hope they can find him quick, the dead zone makes maintaining the portal extremely difficult. For this one we're going to a straight shot right from our universe to his with nothing between. This one is one of the newer models, it can hold links between universes for a short period of time, but it can only be done once every two months, give or take a few days, so this is literally a one shot deal. Had to use the 'Training exercise' bullshit excuse to converse command, but it had to be at night so no one can get hurt by Azula. Should give them little under 10 seconds to get in the portal, we'll check up on them to view the progress transmitted by the collars. Made them extra light for this mission. Only a camera and basic one way communication. No data collectors, no portal trackers, nothing unnecessary for extraction. I know they hate the collars but we need some way to track them of worst comes to worst.

"You got something with his scent?" He asked. I pulled out one of Johnathan's old socks out of the bag. My nose almost fell off as the smell hit me. Smelled like a skunk died in a bag of rotten meat and dragged through a swamp. Owen covered his nose and carefully grabbed the sock. "Yeah, that will do." He wheezed out climbing back down the ladder.

"You sure they'll find him with something so little and smelly?" I asked going down with him. I don't doubt their ability, I just don't like the unknown. There are too many questions unanswered and too many ways this can go wrong. There is just so much we don't know right now.

"Oh yeah. If he's alive or dead, they'll find him." He replied. That's good to hear, at least we'll be able to find out if he is alive or dead this way. Though I am a bit worried for Johnathan's safety. Raptors I know well enough to be cautious.

Rosa is a sweetheart compared to what you would expect a Velociraptor to be. She's pretty tame around Elaia, calm and can be protective of her pack members or beings she likes. Most people view this as a weakness but I know better. She is younger and was taught to be kinder than the other two. She is actually the only one Owen and Johnathan trained directly. Azula was trained by Emily before she betrayed us, and Rojo was a mix between the two. She got her name because of the pink stripes down her back and how she acts around others. She earned her nickname espina de rosa, 'Rose thorns', for her beauty yet protective nature to friends and family. She is pretty strong and sometimes allow Elaia to ride her around like a horse, hence the reason for a saddle. She loves Johnathan, even acts a bit like a pet around him.

Rojo is a bit more assertive and aggressive then Rosa. He got his name for his temper and how he acts around Rosa, also for the red stripes down his back. He is extremely protective of Rose, viewing her more like a little sister then a potential mate. He sees Azula as a possible mate but not dumb enough to try and woo her. He is easier to work with but we still need to be careful. Mess with Rosa and he'll rip you apart limb from limb. He earned the nickname Toro espaňol, 'Spanish bull', for a few matador like matches Owen and Johnathan try for fun with him. They both enjoy it yet it can lead to injury if they are not careful. Pretty exciting to watch if I must say so myself. He even looked a tiny bit like a bull with his small horn things above his eyes. Carnotaurus gene somewhere I think. He is iffy about Johnathan, depends on his mood and Azula's mood.

Finally there is Azula. She earned her name for fiery temper and her ferocious attitude in a fight. Blue flames burn the hottest, Azula is a freaking demon in a fight. She uses no restraint, no mercy, and will kill on sight if you piss her off enough. She is considered a dangerous asset and for the longest time only listened to Emily. She is only ever let loose when it's an extreme situation. She will not hesitate to rip someone's head off if she wishes. She is only out on this mission because we need someone to lead/protect Rojo and Rosa in case of a fight. I have no doubt Rosa or Rojo can hold their own but they are not coordinated in a fight without a Alpha or Beta to lead them. Azula earned the nickname Diablo Rapaz 'Devil raptor' for obvious reasons. Do NOT get in her way if you value your life! She is the one I am worried about the most, She does not like Johnathan. She is the beta but her pack has no Alpha unless Johnathan can beat Azula or Emily in front of the others. It will not be a easy fight either way.

"Bring him back girls." Owen ordered as he brought the sock up to three separate doors. First one sniffed it and sneezed before smacking the door, Rosa. Second one sniffed it and smacked the front of the door very violently, Azula obviously. "She really wants to get out and find him, look at the way she's acting." He commented. Third one sniffed it and smacked the door as well but less violently than the second, Rojo. Owen ran away from the doors and kept his hand on the remote just in case. "Alright, they have the scent. Now for the moment of truth. Fire up the portal." I quickly ran to beside the projector and practically ripped the cover off and I input the coordinates. I slammed the big red button as the portal burst to life in a plethora of sparks. Time was now against us. "We only got one shot! Let's make it count!" I yelled as I ran away from the portal, after setting it to Auto-close, to behind the pen next to him.

"It will, I'm sure of it." He insured as his thumb was hovering over the button. "Now is the moment of truth." With that he pushed the button. Immediately the doors flew open and the girls shot out like speedy bullets into the portal with a loud screech. The portal died immediately after the girls ran through. I looked right into Owen's deep green eyes.

"Let's hope he's ready for them, otherwise this will all be for nothing." I informed looking at the projector. "Johnathan please stay safe, help is on the way."

(Velvet's POV)

A Few minutes earlier

I slowly opened my eyes to florescent lights almost burning my eyes out of their sockets. My body felt like it was on pins and needles as I slowly got up. I looked around to see I was in a hospital in a bed with wires and tubes hooked up to me. I look out the window to see the sun barely rising over the horizon. It's somewhere around five maybe six in the morning. How long was i out? Left of me was the rest of members of CFVY asleep in chairs, well Yastu was leaning against a wall with his sword on his back. Coco more or less using Fox like a pillow, it is too cute I wish I had a camera. Right of me was Rhode island fast asleep in a chair, her hair undone and in her face. Johnathan was in the corner in his full armor. Hard to tell if he is asleep or not with his icy blue visor in the way. He was kind of leaning against the wall with it slight cracked around his shoulder pads. Everyone else was in their pajamas but Johnathan.

Good to know my friends care about me. Thought what happened to me in the first place? I remember getting bit by one of the Troodons, feeling very woozy and backing out after going through the portal, then nothing. Dang those things have a nasty bite, my leg still hurts like hell. Even when I'm pouring a good amount of Aura to heal my leg. I slowly got up but winced in pain as I pulled myself up. I almost fell out of bed but I felt a metallic hand holding me up as well as a loud clash. I look back to see Johnathan holding me with his robotic arm extended. I look down to see his boot cracked one of the tiles and something over it.

"Your awake. Thank God the counter-agent worked." He spoke quietly as he gently laid me back down on the bed. What is he talking about? Last thing I remember

"Counter-agent?" I asked. He looked down and took off his helmet. His eyes looked a bit red and tired. Was he crying earlier?

"Troodons have a nasty venom in their bites. It attacks the central nervous system. Causes hysteria, hallucinations, migraines, seizures, and finally permanent paralysis. It is extremely powerful, can take full effect within minutes after the bite without antibiotics. You were lucky to get administered with an equally powerful Opiod in time. Thought I was going to lose you for a minute." He explained. "The Carfentanil counter-agent alone should of killed you if it wasn't already fighting the venom."

"Your lucky he is fast Velvet." Coco spoke. I look back to see Coco was awake. "He ran over three kilometers through traffic to get you to a hospital in time, with you in his arms. It was an anti-faunus clinic but he 'convinced' them to help after destroying a wall, and kicking the doc in the twins. He brought you back to Beacon as soon as he could. He stayed by your side for the past ten hours to be sure no one would try anything. We're all lucky to know him." She informed.

"Wasn't three kilometers, two maybe two and a half, but it wasn't three." Johnathan replied. I smiled at his modesty. I look around to everyone else was awake and smiling at me. I couldn't ask for better friends then these. I noticed how close Johnathan was to me and blushed.

"Come on Fox, I think we should give these two some room. I think Velvet wants to repay her knight in shining armor." Coco said walking out of the room, dragging Fox and Yastu with her, almost by their ears. Rhode island followed shortly behind but stopped by the door.

"Have fun you two, I'll go check her out. Ozpin said you're both excused from morning classes to recover." With that, Rhode closed the door, leaving me alone with Johnathan. We both blushed as we looked into each others eyes. He sighed as he sat next to me.

"Velvet I know what you're probably thinking. I don't deserve any form of thanks or gratitude. I was the reason you got hurt in the first place. If I was more careful, if I was faster or better I could of..." He tried apologizing before I cut him off with a finger over his lips.

"I don't care if you caused the problem in any way or form. What matters is you fixed it." I leaned up and kissed his cheek. "Think a movie later would be a good start to repay all the times you helped me, as friends."

"Sounds good, now let's get you to breakfast." He replied.

(Third person POV)

Deep in the emerald forest in a familiar clearing, everything was calm. Not a single living Grimm in the visible area. The trees were swaying with the wind. The area around Rhode Island's pod was covered in blackened blood from the other day. A purple portal erupted on the far end of the clearing. Racing out of it were three prehistoric killing machines running at full speed. The leader was easily as tall as a full grown man but she was slouching to gain speed, razor sharp teeth, blue stripes going down her back as she sped past several trees, following the scent of her newest prey. Radio collar around her head to keep tabs on her. The second one little farther behind was a bit shorter than the first. Red stripes going down his back, small bony horn like things protruded just above his eyes. He was closely following the leader as he jumped over a log and let loose a loud screech as his sister started gaining speed on him. He high tailed it and kept his focus on the scent he is following. To find a familiar friend. The third one was the smallest and oddest. Pink stripes ran down her neck and tail, she had a brown saddle with a pack on both sides. She didn't mind it being on but wouldn't mind it being off so she can run faster. She was slower than her two siblings but she is able to keep up with them on the chase. Her eyes were fixed on the path in front of her, she had a mission to complete. As long as she kept one foot in front of the other and followed her nose, she'll find her target.

The three predators sped down the forest. Jumping over logs and swerving around trees. The lead one sniffing the air every few seconds, searching for the scent of her favorite prey. Suddenly the scent she was looking for hit her nose. She let loose a loud screech as she made a right turn it at full speed, the other two changed their direction and started running alongside their beta. One foot in front of the other as they followed the scent of their newest target. One they all found familiar.

(Johnathan's POV)

few minutes later

The cafeteria was empty right now. Then again it was early in the morning so that must be why. Rhode was talking with the other members CFVY as I was helping Velvet walk. The Troodon really did a number on her leg, she is back in a cast for now. She should be in it for only today if this 'Aura' as good as she claims. I'm not sure how it works exactly, whether it's like the Force or like Mana. I'm not 100% sure yet, I'll look into it while I'm stuck here.

"YAY! Johnny's back!" a energetic voice rang through the room. before I knew it I was tackled to the ground by a blur of orange. I was face up looking at Nora with a huge smile hugging me, if I wasn't augmented, she would have crushed my ribs. Where did she even come from? Scratch that, I don't want to know. She soon started lifting me up off the ground, still trying to crush my ribs. "You're so brave to lure the massive animal to the weird swirly thing the cops has us stay away from. Jaune is alright, just needs some rest and a lot of time to fix his broken ribs. You have to admit what he did was badass and selfless. Even better when you RAN THREE FREAKING KILOMETERS, through heavy traffic, with her in your arms, and smashed through the glass doors to get the bunny girl to the hospital. She must be a good friend for you to go such lengths to help her. . ." and she kept going. Damn does this girl ever loosen her grip? I feel like I'm about to be broken in two by Optimus prime on steroids. "I speak for everyone at JNPR and RWBY when I say we are forever grateful you saved Ren and Jaune from that animal. If you hadn't showed up it could've eaten Jaune and went after Ren next." Everyone at CFVY's table was laughing.

"C. .can't breathe. . . . N. .need. . . Air!" I squeezed out as my face started turning purple from behind my helmet. Damn this woman was strong. What does she do to get this strong, bench press cars! So this is how I go out. I always figured I'd be going out kicking and screaming while covered in someone else's blood.

"You might want to let him go Nora. He still needs to breathe." a different voice informed. Almost instant she let go and I was on the ground huffing and puffing. Note to self; NEVER PISS THIS WOMAN OFF! She might be a worse than Tex enraged. I look around to see Ren close by Nora. Oh sweet baby Jesus does it feel good to breathe again.

"Thank you Ren. Owe you one." I thanked pulling myself up off the ground.

"Don't mention it. We just got back from the medical wing to get Pyrrha some breakfast. She volunteered to keep an eye on Jaune." He informed. I was about to reply but I heard an all too familiar bark coming from the distance. Everyone's head snapped to that direction.

"What the hell was that?" Coco asked. I thought I had enough adventure from that universe for one day. Please tell me that was just a figment of my imagination and not what I think it really is. It can't be them. It can't be my girls. They're an entire sector or two away, No way in hell it's them.

(Rosa's POV)

(Translator)

I was racing beside my sibling and Beta through a clearing to a large building. Stone walls as high as my eyes could see, glowing thingy on the top. Few scattered trees and humans running around it for some odd reason, they ran at the sight of us. I can smell my Alpha's scent all around this place. He must be close, I can feel it in my bones. We stopped at a set of big wood doors. I pushed them opened to find three different ways to go. A stairwell in front of us and rows of different doors on either side, each with our Alpha's scent. I looked to Azula for an answer. Beta knows best right now.

"Spread out! We'll cover more ground. Pick a path and don't stop till the prey is in your claws!" She ordered running down the halls following the scent trail up the stairs. I looked to Rojo as he ran right. Which left me with the left.

I slowly walked down the halls of this weird place sniffing every door for my Alpha. Kept getting a lot of other weird scents, most of them smell like delicious prey. Like a juicy rabbit or tender rat. No Rosa! Focus on the hunt for your Alpha, you can eat later.

I kept up the search till I came across one that was a bit light with his scent. But never the less it was in here. Bad parts was it had a round knob. How I'll get in is beyond me.

My claws can't grab a hold of that! Maybe I should try to bite and twist it...Almost got it..GOT IT!

I barked in happiness as I finally figured out those infernal knobs. Nowhere is safe from me now! I AM ROSA! OPENER OF THE DAMNED DOORS! I slowly walked into the room. It didn't look too interesting for my Alpha to be in.

Four beds, one larger than the others. Four dressers, few weird posters, candles, moving picture box, couch, and a few photos. My attention wasn't on any of that. I was focused on the middle bed. It reeked with my Alpha's sent. He's been here, scent is a few days old but he was here. I now sort of 'saw' a new path.

I sniffed the couch a bit more then zoomed out the room toward the intersection. This time I went right, following the new path. Smelled like a mix between my Alpha's and someone who must be around rabbits a lot. I must find my Alpha, he'll be the one to get Azula back to her happy self. I know he can. Our old Alpha left us and tried to kill our kinder Alpha. I prefer this one a lot more than our old one. He's a lot kinder, easier to work with, won't threaten to not feed us to the rats to listen. He may not be as strong as our old alpha, but he's a lot better though my eyes. Hopefully we'll find him. I passed Rojo and took a quick turn to find a large open area, on the other end was my Alpha! He was by some other people with his armor on but who cares, I FOUND HIM!

"HE"S ALIVE! HE'S HERE!" I barked happily.

(Johnathan's POV)

"Rosa is that you?" I asked a bit confused seeing the saddled, collared, and excited pink stripped raptor on the other end of the cafeteria. Kind of humorously she was wagging her tail like a dog. This can't possibly be Rosa, she's back home with Azula and Rojo. Before I could blink she excitedly started running this way. Never mind, it's her alright. She's the only Raptor like animal I've meet that wags her whole butt when her tail moves.

"No no no. Settle down girl! SETTLE DOWN!" I yelled as the energetic predator started happily jumping and barking all around me. "I know Rosa, it's good to see you but please settle down. NOW!" I commanded holding my hands out like a tamer. She happily barked again as she started nuzzling me to the ground. Before I knew it I was flat on my butt with a energetic Raptor trying her damnedest to snuggle me to death. despite her scaly skin scrapping against me, she was all to gentle compared to how one might expect a raptor to behave.

"Pet of yours?" Coco asked videotaping the whole thing on her Scroll.

"Not exactly a pet, she's my friend's. He uses her for Search and Rescue operations. How the hell did you get here girl?" I asked scratching the back of her neck, just behind the collar. She happily tried to snuggle closer. I heard another bark from a new raptor. I look to the doorway to see Rojo standing there looking at Rosa snuggling me happily. He screeched loudly as he ran toward me.

"Rojo slow down. Don't even think. ." I squeezed out before being knocked farther to the ground by the bull-like raptor. He kept me to the ground with one foot, before he could try anything Rosa pushed Rojo off me and hissed. I got up to see Nora looking at them wide eyes as the two raptors snapped at each other.

"What exactly are they?" Ren asked.

"Heavily Genetically engineered Velociraptor. These two are pretty close to tame compared to others I encountered. Don't even ask or get me started. The pink one is Rosa, Red one is Rojo." I explained as said raptor pounced on Rosa and the two got into a little fight. "They're fine. They do that all the time. Just let them fight it out for a few minutes but stay out of the way if you value your limbs. Those toe claws will gut you like a fish." I explained getting up. Rosa kicked Rojo off and let him skid across the floor. Rojo thrashed around violently before getting some traction and tackled Rosa to the ground in a loud crash. The two screeched as they fought it out. No one is going be to be asleep now. I'll give people five minutes till they flood the cafeteria to see those two fighting. Velvet looked at me kind of weird.

"You know them?" She asked.

"These two, yeah I know them. Rosa loves me and will often let me take her out on the front line of work. Rojo not so much but he loves using me like a matador. Something in his genes and what I thought him I guess." I answered ducking as a chair piece flew past my head. I chuckled as the two predators dueled it out. "They're the best damn trackers I know. They have a sense of smell thousands of times better than a humans, they can quite literally smell you an entire city away without you even realizing they're on your trail. Great attack animals as well. How the hell they got here is beyond me." Well I can only think of two ways they got here.

A.) They stumbled upon a portal that my equipment can't detect, while on some type of mission.

Or B.) Serena was dumb enough to release these girls into this world using who knows what.

Either or, if they are here; Azula shouldn't be too far behind. I really hope she is VERY far away. I seriously can't handle her right...

Just when I thought I was clear, a third bark echoed through the halls as a blue raptor turned the corner and toward me with her claws out and teeth bared. Eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Oh shit." I complained as I held my arm in a X shape. Azula collided with me seconds later. We rolled along the ground and through a window as she kept her jaws locked on my robotic arm. I quickly put both feet on her chest and kicked her across the field. She skid across the field thrashing and kicking up dirt. She scratched the metal shell but not enough to cause any major damage to the internal systems. I held up my pistol as she regained her footing and got in the pouncing position.

"Azula, stand down now!" I warned as I kept my pistol level and ready to fire. She pounced with a loud shriek. I ducked under her killer claws and fired three shots. She started limping as the paint covered her right leg. She got back up and bellowed. Soon a few people started swarming to see what was happening. Rosa and Rojo were off to the side with Rhode Island and CVFY. Good thing to see first thing in the morning as the sun starts to rise. "Everyone stay back, she's extremely dangerous. I got it under control." I commanded directing my attention back to the deadly raptor now. "Stand down Azula! That is a direct order. I'm not going to ask again." I ordered as I keep the pistol trained on her. She ran forward and launched with her claws fully out. I fired three more shots into her as she got close. Paint round hit her other side but she nicked me in the side and cut my leg as she fell, she is noticeably slower. One shot left and she's down. Too bad I only have 1 bullet left in the chamber. She got up and ready to go again. Eyes burning with murderous intent as she growled at me. "Last warning!" I announced. She looked at me with her eyes full of rage and murderous intent. She shrieked one last time before charging me. I didn't hesitate as I pulled the trigger. The round hit right on her snout and she slide right in front of me unable to move a single muscle. Normally this fight would take hours but I'm too tired to be dealing with her shit right now. I bent down and looked at her straight in the eyes.

"Know this Azula, I don't hate you in the least. But don't let your blind loyalty cloud your judgement. Your old alpha left you three to die but I stepped up to the plate and saved you all from certain death. Rosa and Rojo accepted that truth, Why haven't you?" I whispered to the fallen Beta. I got up to see a huge crowd looking at me again. Wait, where were Rosa and Rojo at? I look behind then to see the crowd split to make room for a tired Goodwitch. Kind of funny seeing her in a purple nightie and cap.

"What happened now Mr. Grey?" She asked yawning. Azula squirmed a bit as she tried to get free of the pain. I was going to start explaining but Rojo butt in between us and got in a defensive stance with a low hiss. Goodwitch got in a defensive position. I held my hand out on Rosa's snout.

"Rojo, stand down." I ordered. He stopped hissing and looked innocently at me purring. Goodwitch raised a eyebrow. "He's fine, just a little protective." I informed. "Just a small visit from a few friends. Two still standing are relatively tame. One on the ground is pretty dangerous. . ." As if on cue, Azula growled. "I need to talk to Ozpin later. For now is there a place for me to hold her? Azula needs a pretty strong place to be contained. Otherwise she'll break out of her rock hard cocoon in like twenty minutes at her rate." Again on cue Azula wiggled and broke a bit of the paint off her leg. "Make that fifteenth."

She looked at me a bit confused as Rosa walked up by me. She purred a bit as I started scratching behind her collar. Wonder what they were doing before they got stuck here? I can only guess it was very dangerous because Azula was in it. Though if it was a natural portal, why didn't my instruments pick it up? Maybe Serena finally found me and sent them to hunt me down. No idea why she would send them? Owen must of talked her into it. He'll take any chance he can to let them get real world experience. I'm just curious what their plan was for getting them back. Owen was never the type to plan ahead.

"Yeah I'll go wake him up. I'll have someone to watch your pets. You can keep that one in one of Port's Grimm cages for now." She replied walking away. That's good, Azula might not like being in a cage but tough luck for her. You play nice with me, you get rewarded. Try to kill me or someone I like, I'll throw your butt in a steel cage. Tough love but she needs to learn one way or another. Now who to watch Rosa and Rojo? "RWBY, watch them for Mr. Grey while we talk to Ozpin. CFVY go get one of Port's cages please." She ordered.

(Cole's POV)

Star wars Universe-#18

"I gotta warn Johnny, She's back, and man is she PISSED!" I said to myself as I was ran down the halls of the Deathstar. Under normal circumstances I would be beyond thrilled to be aboard the freakin' Deathstar. But being attacked by Vader's personal apprentice and almost getting my arms sliced off for the bazilionth time is a huge turn off for this place. I'd rather go to Hoth at this point, less crazy bitches trying to kill me.

My dark brown mohawk was drenched in sweat, Electric blue eyes full of pain and concern. Deep pale skin was covered in blisters and bruises from an earlier fight. I had to slide under a rapidly closing door and kept on running. My blue and orange hoodie was covered in plasma holes and dust, the backwards Halo O symbol with a lightning bolt on the front. Black and red backpack on my back with my silver Bo staff collapsed on a side pocket.

I pulled out a blue stone fragment from my pocket and held on to it desperately. Despite looking seventeen and having it for over a hundred years, I know next to nothing about this little rock other than it gives me the power to cross the Multi-verse. I look back to see the door I narrowly got through explode in a shower of fragments. A cloaked figured was just casually walking through with her Red curved sabers ignited, CURVED LIGHTSABERS! Stormtroopers well behind her firing at me (not that they'll hit me, you know how they are). I finally found her to avenge John and our friend, I thought I could take her this time but she's a lot stronger than I remembered. She's killed her own Stormtroopers because 'they got in her way'. Forget trying to save her, this woman is a psychotic bitch. I need to warn John that she's back, and with a bloody vengeance. It took a crap ton of work to take her down the first time. She won't stop, she won't rest, she won't let nothing stop her till Johnathan's dead.

"I really hope he's home." I said to myself as I created a portal in front of me. I closed my eyes as I jumped through the portal. I rolled through a room and landed head first into a wall. A familiar cat girl jumped out of her bed as a dozen turrets locked right on me. I blacked out as I heard the turrets cock their weapons.

"Intruder alert!"

(Third person POV)

Back on the Deathstar

"Sir, the intruder has escaped." A trooper reported snapping to attention. The cloaked figure slammed her fist into the wall as her company of troopers swept through the hallway. They needed to find him. He's the only one who knows how to find Johnathan. She needs to find that piece of Rancor shit.

"Tell me something I don't know TK-2093." She replied angrily. No. .she was furious. Not only did he find her, he also listened in on her plan and can foil them before she can even begin. She turned around to find her master walking down the hall. Instinctively she got on one knee and bowed. All the troopers in the hall all stood to attention. Worst thing anyone could do is invoke his wrath.

(Insert Imperial death match as he enters the scene like a true badass)

"Rise my apprentice. I assume you have caught or killed the intruder." Lord Vader asked.

"He escaped master, but I know where he's going. I ask for your forgiveness, to continue being your apprentice and learn the ways of the dark side." She apologized getting up.

"How disappointing. You have failed me yet again young apprentice." He replied throwing her hood back. The skin on her face looked as if it hadn't seen the light of day in years, deep blood red eyes pierced through her pale skin, short hair as black as the darkest abyss. "I can not teach you any more. You already know everything you can, Emily Verrater. Anything more would be a futile and wasted effort. Your body can not handle the stress."

"But master, I can do it. if it meant squashing that pathetic bug, just let me prove it. . ." She begged.

"Silence!" Vader boomed. Emily flinched at his tone. "I'm willing to forgive your past failures, I'll even forgive this one. But do not test my patience. You have already reached what I can teach." He explained "I will allow you to go after the intruder, complete this mission. If you succeed, you will be allowed to remain by my side. Failure will not be tolerated. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes master." She answered. Vader waved her off as he walked out of view. Emily took a deep breath and turned to the nearest Stormtrooper. "Get me Commander Riley. Tell him to fire up my portal. I'm going to talk to a old friend." She said spitting out friend like it was a curse word. She threw her hood back up. She will not fail this mission, this one is personal. She's determined to get her vengeance, she will destroy the man who shattered her heart.

And that's a wrap people. Chapter 13 is done and we're nowhere close to done. Don't worry about me adding all these minor characters. Most of them will be dead but I won't say which ones. Though one or two might tug at your heart strings. I added WetworkzNinja's OC in this chapter for two reasons.

A.) He betas my story, figured add his character in as a little way of saying thank you.

B.) His character is pretty good. This story needs another multiverse explorer, though his is a jumper. Huge difference, he'll explain next chapter.

Now to answer some reviews.

ww199011- I know nothing on those universes. I'll take your word for it.

Hunter81095- I can put that to rest for a bit. The inspiration for the battery idea came from Halo 2 in the beginning when on cairo station. When the one techy guy was held the pack and said 'Let's not even talk about the power supply'. Looked like a big battery or what i assume was one. I apologize for that inaccuracy with the MJOLNIR armor. I had a idea that he had to completely change the power supply pack because of an engagement with the few Sith. Large quantities of electricity can short out electrical batteries so i assume the same could be said with MJOLNIR. He has the battery packs installed just in case the main one fails or gets destroyed. They were designed to absorb extra energy and rid of the excess through the boots. Johnathan is trained to do field repairs on MJOLNIR (Like visor repair and small patches) but not enough to permanently fix problems (Power supply repairs for example), he would have to go back to a Halo-verse to get those repaired but how will he explain the modifications if he sets foot on the Infinity. I will do more research on the mark VII armor, too many minor things to keep track of. Wiki sites don't fully explain.

Well that's all I have for now. Beta will have a lot to edit for this one. Hope you all enjoyed. See you all next chapter.

(Insert very unmanly squeal here) That was awesome! and not just the fact that my oc made it in there. all the super raptors and vicious sith apprentice's and storm troopers and their crappy aim… seriously. I watched one shoot the ground one time and it literally did a U-turn and flew straight into space one time. why does Vader even bother with these guys? anyway that's all i have to say for now. so see ya next time everyone!
