Crash Landing
He said, "Just patrol the wreckage field for stragglers." Now I'm dodging fighter fire from my clones. I perform a barrel roll to keep dodging the shots.
Y/n: Why are they shooting at us?
R3-J6: Deet-deet bwoop. (Sarcastic)
Y/n: (sarcasm) Oh yeah, that sounds perfect. Fly up to them and ask.
I see a hyperdrive ring up ahead.
Y/n: R3, get that ring ready!
R3-J6: Wreeeep! (protesting, calculating trajectory)
Y/n: I don’t care if it’s unstable. We jump now, or we get blown to smithereens.
I punch it, going faster to the ring as fighter fire went around me. As the ring was lined up with us, we docked and launched as fast as we could as an engine got hit as we went into hyperspace. I laid my head back to the seat, feeling relief that I had escaped.
Y/n: (softly) Thank the force.
I watch the blue and white light of hyperspace in silence meditating and hoping Master is safe.
Timeskip
We exit hyperspace above a lush green and blue planet. The force from it felt like balance. Then we hit something.
Y/n: What was that?
I looked ahead and saw we had entered the debris field from the shattered moon. I grabbed the controls and angled us to the planet and throttled it, but we barely moved towards it.
Y/n: R3, where are we? Cause looks like we'll be crashing there.
R3-J6: Deet-deet... bwoop. (No match. Unknown system. No Republic signals.)
The planet looms ahead, and the ring dock is locked in likely damaged, so I couldn't detach and let the landing gear out.
Y/n: Activate planet wide distress signal. It's bound to be habitable.
R3-J6: Deet. (Affirmative)
Slight timeskip Ruby's pov
We were wandering campus discussing what to do to kick off our two week break.
Yang: There's a new arcade in Vale.
Weiss: We should study some of you could do well to raise your scores.
Blake: There's training. Or reading.
Ruby: (looking up thinking) Well, we could...
I saw what looks like a metallic fireball coming down from the sky.
Ruby: (pointing at it) Guys!
They noticed it, too. Something metallic, smoke, sparks, and fire coming down hard.
Blake: Some type of bullhead?
Yang: It's crashing fast.
Ruby: We should check for survivors wherever it lands.
Weiss: From its angle, it probably hit in the Emerald Forest.
Ruby: Then let's go!
We run to the forest calling our lockers to get our weapons. We reached the cliff that overlooked the Emerald Forest.
Ruby: It crashed over there.
I pointed towards the rising smoke deeper in the forest.
Weiss: We can see that.
Timeskip to the ship
We reached the crash site. Whatever it was looked weird, metal, fire, and sparking parts were scattered everywhere, but there was a pretty big piece, though. It looked pretty buried in the ground.
Ruby: This... doesn't look like any bullhead I've seen.
Weiss: It's not anything I recognize.
We approached cautiously. What looks like the cockpit was cracked. Then we heard a chirp of some kind from the wreckage.
Ruby: Is that a robot?
A smallish robot was on top of the wreckage, hitting the glass with its body. The top of it was scorched, but it looked transparent.
(R3-J6 pic the body is white with red accents and the dome is still clear with blue accents)
It heard us and turned to us and fired a cable at me, pulling me a bit before it detaches and bangs on the glass again.
Ruby: I think it wants us to help open it.
We get to the ship and look and see someone in it looking barely conscious.
Ruby: Yang, can you break it?
Yang: (activated Ember Celica) Definitely.
She punches the glass, and it cracks more she punches it again, and it shatters.
???: Mas...ter?
Weiss and I pull him out as the little Droid is going nuts with a bunch of beeping and chirping.
Blake: What does it want now?
???: Hyper... drive... overloading... boom...
Ruby: (urgently) We need to move now!
We dragged him along as fast as possible and got behind a decently sized boulder as the ship blew up after waiting for a while. I peaked my head out from behind the boulder to see the cockpit, and the ship he was in was practically destroyed. I looked back to the mystery guy from the ship to see he passed out now.
Ruby: I'll call Ozpin.
Timeskip Y/n's Pov
I slowly woke up feeling warmth on my skin and face. I moved one of my arms to my face, feeling bandages covering part of my face and eye. I leaned up slowly through minor pain to see my other arm is bandaged as well as my leg on the same side. I looked around the room, seeing it was a kind of infirmary it seemed slightly primitive compared to the republic ones. I noticed my padawan robes and lightsaber are on a table opposite of me. I reach out with the force and bring my Saber to me.
R3-J6: Deet-deet. (You look like hell.)
Y/n: Feel like it, too R3. (Notices R3 has been cleaned) Who cleaned you? Did you give them a hard time?
R3-J6: Deet-deet bwoop wreeeep. (A girl named Ruby. And what do you mean hard time?)
Y/n: You know what I mean.
I tried to get up, but the pain in my leg and arm practically screamed at me to stop. I lay back down when the door suddenly opened.
???: Oh, you're awake.
I look over to the door to see a girl wearing black and red with a red cloak entering the room.
R3-J6: Deet-deet. (That's the girl that cleaned me.)
Y/n: Thanks for cleaning this bucket of bolts.
Ruby: Oh, you're welcome he was really stub -. How did you know I cleaned it?
Y/n: He told me. I understand droid language.
Ruby: How do you understand beeps and boops?
Y/n: It’s pitch, rhythm, and modulation. Droids speak in patterns.
Ruby: Like... music?
Y/n: Exactly, Ruby.
Ruby: Did he tell you my name, too?
Y/n: Yes. I'm Y/n Renvar. Jedi padawan. And I think I need to hide.
???: Oh, and why is that?
We look to the door to see a silver haired man. He had this way about him. The force felt weird around him.
Ruby: Oh, Prof. Ozpin.
Y/n: You feel... odd. The air of a master jedi. But the force reacts weirdly with you.
Ruby: Master Jedi, Jedi Padawan, the force, what's all that?
Y/n: Jedi are peacekeepers. We protect the innocent and defend the ones who can't defend themselves.
Ruby: That sounds like Huntsmen and Huntresses.
Ozpin: Hmmm. And this force you spoke of?
Y/n: It's... life. Energy. It binds everything together. It flows through all living things, guiding, connecting. Some can feel it. Fewer can use it. The Jedi are one.
Ruby: And you're a padawan. What's that specifically?
Y/n: Apprentice essentially. Jedis live and train mostly on Coruscant, the city planet, the heart of the galactic Republic.
Ozpin: So you traveled through space?
Y/n: Yes. I'm just glad the random coordinates gave me a habitable planet.
Ozpin: That leads me back to my original question. Why do you need to hide?
Y/n: I was betrayed. The galaxy is or was at war. I was doing a patrol of the debris field after the space battle over Coruscant when my clone troopers started shooting at me. R3 told me we were being targeted, so I started evasive maneuvers. I don't know why they attacked me, but I got out of there by using hyperspace. Faster than light travel.
Ruby: I'm... sorry that happened to you.
Ozpin: What were peacekeepers doing in a war?
Y/n: It was to restore peace. We were given a clone army to beat the separatists and the Sith.
Ruby: Sith?
Y/n: Dark side force users. Jedi use the light side.
Ozpin: You said you were an apprentice. That means you are still learning.
Y/n: Yes, but I don't have my master to teach me.
Ozpin: I doubt your Jedi ways knew everything when your ancestors learned to use the force. I can let you attend my academy. You could possibly learn a thing or two.
Y/n: Uh, thanks. I think that could work.
Ozpin: You'll need your aura unlock in order to participate in combat class.
Y/n: Would I have one?
Ruby: Every living thing with a soul has one. It just needs to be unlocked.
Y/n: Okay, go ahead.
Ozpin: Alright then. Ms. Rose, if you would?
Ruby: Oh. Uh, I was expecting you to Professor.
Ozpin: Your team found him, saved him. I'd say it would be smart to have him be a part of your team.
Ruby: Wait, you want him on my team? We're already a full team.
Ozpin: I don't see much of an alternative it's too far for the next school year. He wishes to hide. Let's hide him in plain sight.
Y/n: You're serious?
Ozpin: Yes, but how everyone reacts to this decision remains to be seen. Ms. Rose? (He gestured to me)
Ruby: Oh, right.
She approached me and puts her hand on the side of my head.
Ruby: Close your eyes and concentrate on the very essence of your being.
I comply, and soon, she places her other hand on my chest.
Ruby: For it is in courage that we achieve immortality. Through this, we become a paragon of hope and light to ruse above darkness. Infinite in compassion and bound by duty, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, help thee.
I opened my eyes and saw Ruby a red glow around her dim. I looked at my hand as I had a pale blue glow around me.
Y/n: It feels like the force is fully flowing through me.
I fully leaned up, and there was no pain from either of my leg or arm.
R3-J6: Deet-deet bwoop. (You look less like hell. Still not handsome.)
Y/n: (smirking) Thanks, R3. I’ll take that as a compliment.
Ozpin: Before I let you go and get acquainted with your new team, may we get a demonstration of the force.
Y/n: I suppose it wouldn't hurt.
(Lightsaber pic)
Ruby: That was awesome!
Ozpin: Interesting. Well, I'll let you get ready and acquainted with your new teammates.
He turns to leave as I look to Ruby, who is still here.
Ruby: I'll let you get dressed, then I'll show you the dorm.
She also left the room as I got out of bed and put my padawan robes back on. I reached the door with R3 following me.
Ruby: Ready?
Y/n: I'm probably going to have to disclose everything again, but yeah, ready.
Timeskip past the repeat info dump in the dorm
Yang: You have a sentient trashcan that follows you around.
R3-J6: Deet-deet DEET bwoop wreeeep DEET-deet-deet-deet BWOP! (The beeping escalates into a furious, high-speed rant—like a blender full of sarcasm and rage.)
Ruby: (blinking) Whoa. What did he just say?
Y/n: (rubbing his temple) Uh... let’s just say he questioned your intelligence, your fashion sense, and your ability to count past ten. In that order.
Blake: (deadpan) Efficient.
Yang: (laughing) Oh really? Well tell him I’ve punched Grimm bigger than him into scrap metal.
R3-J6: Deet-deet bwoop. (Try it, sunshine. I’ll reroute your shampoo to engine grease.)
Y/n: (grinning) He says bring it. But maybe not while he’s still charging.
The room settles a bit after the sass of R3. Yang was still laughing, Blake was back to reading her book, Ruby was in her very unstable looking bunk looking at me as I set up my own corner for the time being.
Weiss: You said your clone troopers turned on you. Was it just your unit, or... did it happen to others?
I froze the thought, never crossed my mind. The room went quiet.
Y/n: I don’t know. I’ve been telling myself I was being framed for something like a fellow padawan went through. But every Jedi had clones. Every battalion. Every front. If mine turned... what’s stopping me from believing all of them did?
Ruby: (softly) You think it was planned?
Y/n: I don't know why. The only person who could mark all jedi as traitors is the chancellor. He was saved by the jedi earlier that day. But if they all turned on the jedi. I need to check something.
I close my eyes and reach out to the force to sense major disruptions in it recently. I stumbled as I found it.
Ruby: Y/n?
Y/n: It... it did happen... I think all of them even the younglings.
Yang: Younglings? Do you think he means -
Weiss: Children.
Y/n: I... I need to meditate.
I leave the dorm to find a quiet place to meditate.
Ruby's pov
The door clicked shut as he left. None of us spoke at first. Blake sat her book down. Weiss was staring at the floor. I looked to his space he was working on, and he left the thing he kept carrying on his hip there.
Ruby: Soldiers killing children. That's not war. That's... evil.
Weiss: If it was planned, then the mastermind is a monster.
Blake: He could be the last one.
I hopped down from my bunk.
Yang: (looking over) Where are you going?
Ruby: To find him. Not to talk. Just to make sure he's fine.
Yang: I'd probably tease you, but nows not the right mood for it.
I opened the door and went to find him. I went to quiet places that would make sense to go to at night. I went to the roof he wasn't there, the common area, then I went to the courtyard. I saw him floating cross-legged he looked tense, his pale blue aura flaired for a moment. I found a bench close by and sat there watching as he meditated, likely processing the news.

Bacca: Alrighty, I had this idea a long time ago. It had the same background for the padawan, but I scrapped it, but I felt like I could really do it justice because both franchises hold a special place in my heart. There will be a few creative liberties I'll do with the Star Wars franchise, but we'll get there rather soonish.
Ruby: Yeah. He was having issues looking up specific lore for what he was looking up.
Bacca: Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed it, and I will see you next time.
