Another fanfiction idea. But this time, this is a crossover with a very popular series and a popular tabletop turned animation series. Everyone, I'm going to introduce this new story; Knights of Tal'Dorei. A Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Legends of Vox Machina Crossover story.
Please be warned that I haven't even gotten to play Knights of the Old Republic. Just the second one made by Obsidian Entertainment. Fret not, I looked at some knowledge of BioWare's one to ensure that I am on track.
Keep in mind that this fanfiction takes place right after the Light Side Ending of Knights of the Old Republic and Season 1, Episode 2 of 'The Legends of Vox Machina' to keep everyone on track to this fanfiction's position.
Give a shoutout for jojobinks01 for editing and suggesting some ideas and segments.
Now then, onto the first chapter of this story of Knights of Tal'Dorei!
Knights of Tal'Dorei
Prologue
Vision
A male, hooded jedi found himself within a barren area. Although the landscape provided him with comfort, the Force was telling him to run away.
Soon, the scene shifted to a site filled with bodies littered in a battlefield. All of them had their life drained out and lai
It took him a few good minutes to realise WHO were amongst them.
Canderous, Carth, Jolee, Bastila…
None of them stood a chance against this enemy.
All of them were indicated to one individual.
It appeared to be a gaunt husk of a man wearing long tattered red, purple, and black robes.
His skin was weathered and decayed that pulled taut against his skeletal frame without any hair on his spotted head.
His cheeks were sunken around skeletal teeth in a terrible and demonic grin. His left hand was missing, and where his left eye would be just an empty socket constantly streaming sickly green magical energy upwards.
This man…no, whatever that THING is caused the Jedi's skin to crawl as his eyes locked onto him. The Force was telling him that this person was neither Jedi or Sith.
Red light appeared within his empty socket as he pointed his skeletal finger at him.
"YOU'RE MINE NOW…REVAN…"
…
…
…
…
…
*GASP*
A man with medium-length brown hair, styled in a mullet, sat in his bed before massaging his eyes with his right hand. He appeared to be shirtless as sweat was clearly visible around his body.
Turning to his left, he saw Bastila being covered with nothing but a white blanket. He caressed her cheek before looking at the front to contemplate on whatever happened in his dream.
Well, it was more like a vision as they felt all too real.
"Revan?"
The Former Sith Lord looked back to his left and saw his lover waking up and sat from her bed. She held the blanket to cover her. Though that didn't seem to bother her the slightest as she had the look of concern on her face. "Are you okay?"
Revan sighed, looking away from her. "I just had another vision. Did you experience it?"
His answer came from a nod from the Jedi. "I did. What was that thing, Revan?"
"I think that's a Sith Lord."
Bastila blinked upon hearing this. This gave her a natural response "Another Sith Lord!? That?! What kind was it? I've never seen anything like that before."
Revan scratched the back of his head while looking unsure. "I don't know. It's nothing compared to what we've faced before." He released a sigh. "I think a world is under its influence."
That certainly was news to Bastila. This eventually led to a conclusion. "If that's the case, then they have the whole world waging against a fragile Republic. We can't allow this Sith Lord to escape and wreak havoc. And we just came out of a war against Malak and the Sith empire."
"I know. That is why I must deal with this threat alone. Don't think about that, now. We've been through a lot lately." That was true. It has been a few days since the Destruction of the Star Forge over Letho, thus letting the Republic win the Jedi Civil War. To spend time together, both Revan and Bastila decided that they're gonna celebrate it…in bed.
Sure that went by the Jedi's Code. But it seems like they needed it as it allowed them to be redeemed from their dark side.
But, with the Force showing them that there's a bigger threat looming around, it seemed as though peace was never going to happen.
"I need to think about this alone." Before Bastila could even respond, she saw Revan getting out of bed and putting on his clothes. He proceeded to head to the other side in order to meditate.
This seems to be a problem. And it looks like she needs to do something before her lover does something reckless.
THREE DAYS LATER
SOMEWHERE IN THE OUTER RIM
Bastila was waiting within the Main Crew Deck of the Ebon Hawk. It has been a past couple of days since Force Vision. Whatever they showed, it was taking a toll on the Former Sith Lord. He wasn't sleeping or eating properly for the past three straight days. He just keeps meditating by himself.
This was starting to worry her.
This led to a meeting with two familiar faces. Carth Onasi and Jolee Bindo to vent her ongoing worriness.
And their response?
"You've got to be kidding me?" That was the natural reaction coming from the Republic Soldier. "You're telling me that even though we defeated Malak and ended the Jedi Civil War, there's another Sith Lord lurking around!"
"Yes," The Jedi simply repeated her answer.
Jolee scratched his chin and he basically went straight to the point. "This vision you and Revan had? I say this Sith Lord isn't like anything we've both read or encountered before."
Bastila said nothing as she looked down at her hands. Seeing Revan standing around her's and their companions' dead companions who died attempting to fight this being caused her to shiver. "Yes. The Force was telling us to do nothing but to run. I'm afraid of what it's doing to him."
The Republic Soldier rubbed his temples "Look, we've been through a war recently. And Revan's no special. But I cannot partake in facing another Sith that haunted your dreams!"
"I know it's sudden. But what should I do? The Jedi Council instructed me to be at his side at all times. Now, he wants to face this Sith Lord by himself. I can't let that happen!" Now, the Jedi's voice was starting to become strained.
"Well, if you're worried, Miss Shan, then I suggest we go with him," Came Bindo's suggestion.
That caught the Jedi off-guard. She was about to speak when Carth decided to chime in. "Jolee's right. We've been through much since Taris and he shouldn't face this threat alone. Whatever that thing you saw, it's nothing he or anyone has faced before. He's going to need all the help he's going to get. And even if the Council or Republic Command ain't gonna help, we will. We've been through this war, I'm sure whatever this Sith lord is, we can face him."
A smile beamed over to the Jedi, who proceeded to bow in gratitude. "Both of you, thank you."
"Ah, don't worry about it, Bastila. Just helping another Jedi." Jolee casually responded.
Carth stood from where he sat. "Now. We're gonna inform the others about this?"
-Scene Change-
In the East Wing of the Ebon Hawk, Revan was still meditating on that dream he and Bastila had a few days ago. It felt familiar, but yet different. He couldn't help but wonder about it. Could it be…
"Dwoooo, Dwooo!"
He opened his eyes and turned to his back. He saw T3-M4 strolling towards him. He patted the top of the droid's head the moment he got close. "What is it, T3?"
"Beeep-boop,dwooo."
Even though no one could understand droid language, the Former Sith Lord understood what the astro-droid was trying to say. "Everyone's at the main deck? Why?"
T3 only just strolled forward and look back at him. This made Revan stand up and proceeded to follow him.
Entering the main deck, the redeemed Jedi saw that everyone was present. Naturally, he was caught off guard. "Everyone's here?"
All turned towards him. Carth was the one to speak up. "So, I heard you're going on an adventure alone?"
Revan wasn't surprised to hear this question from the Republic Soldier. He turned to the only person who would have revealed this
Bastila just gazed at him. "I have to. You cannot do this alone."
Revan was about to open his mouth when…
"Now don't make any excuses." Jolee spoke up with his arms crossed. "As a Jedi, it is their role to help one another to whatever the situation they end up in."
"You were there for us when we needed help. You helped Big Z and I on Taris, Kashyyyk, and Tattooine. You helped Juhani when that Son of a Hutt Xor confronted her, You helped Jolee on Kashyyyk and on Manaan, you helped Canderous and Jagi. Heck you even help Carth rescue Dustil. You've been there for us, now it's time we are here for you." Mission spoke. The Wookie made several sounds in agreement.
"Statement: Master. When the original meatbag Malak betrayed you, and when I came into your service and got my memories back, I felt ashamed of myself for not being there and killing the meatbag personally. So this time, I will come with you, even if you order me to stay. Query: Do you want me to go on some misadventure and somehow have my chassis be blown up and under the service of a new master?" HK-47 was the next to respond.
Right after was his lover. "You helped me stay on the path of the Jedi when I was in my darkest moments. I wouldn't be here without your love."
The Former Sith Lord couldn't help but be taken back by their words. After everything they went through to find the location of the Star Forge, he was going to leave them behind and face this threat alone?
This made him chuckle at the thought. He looked at each of his companions. "You're all in?"
"Of course," The Mandalorian said with no hesitation. "If that means seeing more actions while dealing with this Sith."
The Former Sith Lord lowered his head. "I see that our adventures have strengthened our bond. But are you sure you're all willing to go? We're about to face a Sith Lord
"You have our answers, Revan. We have no doubt to come with you." Bastila assured him with a smile.
The Former Sith Lord lifted his head. He smiled back at her and his companions. "Very well. But I need to remind you that whatever we're going to face, we need to stock up on much needed supplies. This world, me and Bastila visioned is very much isolated to the rest of the galaxy. And whatever this Sith Lord is, ain't like Malak."
Carth had got that sorted. "Don't worry. We're about to stop on a nearby planet. We'll be stocked up by then."
Revan rested his hands on the holo-des as he looked at everyone. "Then we should get as much rest as we can."
"Query: And why do we need so much rest?" HK-47 asked his master.
The redeemed Jedi brought up the galactic map; more specifically, the Unknown Regions. He pointed at the far corner. "There's a strange anomaly within this sector. Whatever that is, that will give us the answers."
The Ebon Hawk crew wasted no time in restocking the supplies they needed.
HK, Canderous and Carth were inspecting every weapon they collected in the journey. T3 was there to assist them in repairing any damages that each weapon sustained.
Mission Vao and Zaalbar went on an errand run on the planet the Ebon Hawk landed. Stocking up on much needed supplies for this new journey. Jolee and Juhani accompanied them in case they needed an extra pair of hands.
Both Revan and Bastila were meditating in the Eastern Wing of the derelict ship. During their reflection, they send a message to the Jedi council in regards to what they are going to do. They both know that the Council will have questions as to why they are doing it, and if it is wise for them to do so.
Suffice to say that they were given green light as long as they can deal with this newly informed Sith Lord.
Or die trying to stop it.
"Revan.." Said person opened his eyes and saw his lover look directly in the eyes. "I remember what happened in the vision we had. The Force...it reacted like it never felt before. Are you sure we can face it head on?"
Her response from the Former Sith Lord who cupped her left cheek. Normally he would say something flirty or whatever in the past but now, all Bastila saw was for the first time, uncertain, "... I don't know. If there was one thing I learned from my time as both leader and Sith Lord, it is that there is always an unknown to everything."
Bastila couldn't help but chuckle at his words. "Seems like we both have something to worry about."
The Former Sith Lord said nothing. All he did was lean closer to her face and gave her a kiss of comfort. This, of course, caught the Jedi off-guard. But soon, she relished this small moment of comfort.
Once everyone had done their job, everyone stood within the cramped space of the cockpit. Since Onasi was the one piloting the Ebon Hawk, he was looking at the coordinates Revan had set. "Our destination is right around the edge of the Unknown reasons. Now I wonder why you decided to go there?"
"The Force calls upon it," Revan revealed to the party.
He wasn't the only one who shared this sentiment as Bastila commented, "Yes, I felt it too. It's calling to us with hesitation."
Ordo crossed his arms. Although he doesn't believe in the Force, he had a feeling they were in for something. "If that's the case, then they shall see what a Mandalorian is capable of."
Before they headed to the destination, Revan looked at his party members. "Anyone wants to pull out now?" None of them responded to his answer, which gave him their answers. "Alright then." He looked at the Republic Soldier who was piloting the ship. "Enter Hyperdrive."
Onasi didn't need to be told twice. He flicked the controls to activate the ship's hyperdrive. In just a few short seconds, the Ebon Hawk entered Hyperspace. Their destination was in the far corner of tthe Unknown Regions, where their new adventure awaits.
None of Ebon Hawk Crew member have know what adventures is awaiting for them.
Little did any of them know that they are going to change the fate of that planet.
For better or for worse.
What a way to start a story right after the events of Knights of the Old Republic.
I'm going to enjoy fleshing out some ideas.
This one where two beloved series crossover with one another. And those who are Dungeons and Dragons fans, this will be a treat.
For them being from another Galaxy, the Ebon Hawk Crew are going to meet a group whose technology is although backwater, the magic ain't.
As for the world they are about to enter…they're going to find it unique to say the least if they're going to meet another party.
Both parties are going to need each other's help if they want to achieve their goals.
They are both inspired by Dungeons and Dragons after all. Well, more like the system.
What can you already see happening?
For me, I can see Bastila getting constant migraines. Especially if she deals with a certain Gnome Bard.
Also, just to remind people that this takes placed a few days after the Events of KOTOR
And since Revan was a customizable character, I'm going to say this. He's a Jedi Sentinel who can dual wield two lightsabers. These are his Force Powers.
Force Heal, Force Speed, Force Wave, Force Lightning, Force Stun Droid, Force Stasis, and Throw Saber.
Apologise if this chapter was rushed. I'll be making some edits once I get feedback.
If you want anything to be seen within this story, or any character interactions, please, feel free to put them down. It would be really interesting to see what you may have for this story.
With that said, I will see ya all in the next chapter!
