Hey all, this is my first try at Starwars fanfiction, also one where I plan to write a whole story instead of oneshots. It will be a cross-over between SWTOR and the Starwars trilogy's aswell as the clone wars series. I'll try to fix dates and events according to the offical data (Wookiepedia is my friend) for the time period between SWTOR and TPM, but don't call me out on those. To be save I'll call it an AU story.

(This is the second version of this chapter. Once I hit chapter 10 yesterday I went back to read this one and found it was (in my opinion) of much lower quality than my later chapters. So I went over it and changed some wording and grammar errors to makes this chapter better fit the rest of the story.)

Enjoy!

Stars shown as blue streaks of light passed by the Republic cruiser as it flew at lightspeed towards its destination of Coruscant. If you would peak through the the viewports of the bridge you would see several figures milling around and flying the massive ship.

"I don't see why you're such as stick about this Obi-wan, we completed the mission didn't we?" The tallest of the group said. Sandy blond hair cascaded down his head and he was looking at the person next to him with piercing blue eyes, mirth hidden inside the look he was giving his old master.

Jedi master Obi-wan Kenobi looked back at his friend with a sour look, "Yes Anakin. But thanks to your usual shenanigans I am stuck with this thing for the next few days." he said pointing at the brace that currently held his arm. "Sometimes I wonder if it's your goal to get me injured."

The third person, a teenage tortugan girl with two lightsabers on her belt piped in. "Come on master Kenobi, you know master Skywalker and I would never deliberately get you hurt!"

"Yet, you seem to manage and do it just fine. I've woken up in the medical bay more times than I can count since you two joined me on missions." Obi-wan replied.

"One must wonder then, if that is our fault or if the great "Negotiator" just can't look after himself." Anakin smirked, crossing his arms. "Or maybe he is just getting old?" he added looking questioningly at his padawan.

Ashoka couldn't help but repress a giggle at her master's comment, especially when seeing Obi-wan's sour look turn even more sour.

"I assure you Anakin, that my skills have not been diminished by age. The problem here is that over the years your talent for getting into trouble just outgrown my ability to prevent it." Obi-wan replied "One of these days your recklessness is going to get one of us killed you know, and.."

At that point Obi-wan's usual 'be a better Jedi' rant was interrupted by a great wave of Force washing over the trio, making them stumble and grab for something to hold onto. Before the three of them could even respond to the unusual occurrence alarms started blaring on the bridge.

"Sirs!" on of the navigation clones said. "We appear to have flown into an uncharted meteor field and the debris is crashing down on our shields! orders?"

Anakin, who had recuperated first, stretched to his full height and made is voice boom through the bridge. "Drop us out of hyperspace! Divert power to the forward shields and prepare for impact damage to the ship!" The clones immediately started working, confirming the orders with a "Yessir!"

The ship dropped out of hyperspace, revealing a massive field of ice meteors, most of them as large as the cruiser itself. The cruiser had dropped out of hyperspace right in the middle of it. The clones started evasive maneuvers to avoid the ice and plot a course out of the field the moment they had control back over the ship.

"Quick thinking there Anakin." Obi-wan said looking over the computer generated current damage report "We would have been icicles if we had continued any longer."

"Suddenly my reckless tactics are not so bad?" Anakin replied smugly, glancing at his old Jedi master while keeping an eye on the sensor station scanning their surroundings.

"Masters, What the hell was that Force wave?" Ashoka asked, rubbing her head. The mention of the strange event brought the present Jedi back to the lingering Force from the wave they had felt earlier. "I know the Force warns us for danger, but that was nothing like I have felt before." the padawan added.

"It was very peculiar, that's for sure." Obi-wan replied stroking his beard with his good hand. "Whatever it was it's nearby. And very strong at that."

"In this meteor cluster? I doubt it," Anakin said "Only a Jedi could produce such a wave and we would know if another Jedi was stranded in this cluster. Also this is a rarely used hyperspace lane. Most ships use the Hydian way to travel to the core."

"Sirs. I'm picking up a vessel in that large icerock on the port side," one of the clones in charge of the scanners said "or atleast I think it is a ship, scanners can't match it to our data and it's embedded deep into the structure."

"Could this be why the Force warned us? To find this ship?" Ashoka pondered. "I mean if there is someone alive in there we would sense it. Escpecially if it's a Jedi. But I don't know about any gone missing."

"I don't know, padawan," Anakin said and then turned towards Obi-wan. "Shall we go check it out?"

"Yes, I sense that whatever send that wave of Force originated from that ship. Not investigation is no option after what we all felt just now." Obi-wan replied. "Captain Rex, anker the ship to one of the meteors and prep a shuttle. Also get our deepspace gear." He told the clone.

"Right away sir." The captain said.

The three Jedi soon found themselfs spacewalking on the large ice rock. They neared the impact crater that was could have only been made by the unknown ship when it crashed into the ice.

They now also confirmed it was a ship, though unlike any of them had seen. As they drew closer Anakin discovered something even stranger. Through the transparant ice he could make out a mark "Look, that is the Jedi symbol there on the hull!"

"So this is a Jedi ship," Ashoka said "it's not one I have seen in the hangar before."

"No," Anakin replied "it predates even our archives because I haven't seen a holo of it ever before either. And I have read every data entry about Jedi ships."

"That would mean it's a ship from the old Republic. Our archives only reach to about a few hundred years after the start of the second Sith war." Obi-wan pondered. "It's a miracle it's so well preserved if it's that old. Let's see if we can get inside."

The layer of ice was thick between the jedi and the ship, since it had grown over time. But it was no match for a lightsaber. The Jedi sliced their way to the back of the ship and found a boarding hatch.

Anakin prepared to cut it open but Obi-wan stopped him. "Wait Anakin, if there is still life on the ship, we wouldn't want to expose it to the vacuum of space."

Anakin nodded and looked around. "Lets see if we can enter through the hull near the engines and get into the engine bay. That should not have environmental control or pressure. Then see if we can get some power running."

Obi-wan agreed so the two and Ashoka began cutting more ice until they made it to the engines. They sliced a small hole in the hull to check for airflow and as expected no air came rushing out. After making the hole larger they jumped in and turned on the torches on their suits. Anakin made his way to a control console.

"This shouldn't be too hard," he said kneeling to remove a panel "if the inside is as preserved as the outside then the engines should have no problem getting power back." He fiddled with wires and connectors inside the console until one of them produced a spark. The engines spurred and jumped back to life. Power began flowing and the lights inside the ship turned on.

"Well done master!" Ashoka said, Anakin brushing the compliment away. "Let's search the ship for data and whatever made that Forcewave we felt." She suggested.

They made towards the door that led into the rest of the ship, and found to their luck that it was a double door, made to open one at the time and keep the rest of the ship pressurised. Once inside they took of their helmets and started exploring.

First thing they found was a small medbay next to the engine room, which at one point had been properly tended to, even if most of the equipment was now frozen in place. They continued further finding a circular room with a holo communication station and several shelves of books and holos lining the wall.

"This must have been a communications and common room." Anakin stated.

"Yes, and build for a small crew, maybe 7 or 8 beings in total." Obi-wan added, getting a closer look of the holos on one side of the wall. "I'll stay here and see what these holos have to say, you two continue on."

Anakin and Ashoka walked into the hallway again and this time moved to the room opposite of the holo room.

"This must be the cockpit." Anakin said as he and his padawan stepped in the room. What they found in there shocked the Master-padawan duo. Near the pilot seat they found a body, female at first glance, completely frozen in ice. Ashoka ran to the figure to see if there were signs of life while Anakin surveyed the cockpit.

"The cockpit windows shattered on impact, but the ice must have frozen it shut again. That explains the hunk of ice in here with that person in it." He pondered.

"Master!" Ashoka exclaimed "I still sense life in her!" Anakin whipped his head toward his padawan and then looked at the person inside the ice. Using the Force he confirmed a life force, small and weak but still there!

Springing into action Anakin said "I'll get Obi-wan and we'll contact our cruiser for medical aid. Start cutting her out, but don't free her! She must be unfrozen in a controlled enviroment!"

Ashoka nodded and ignited her dual lightsabers. Anakin moved out of the cockpit and grabbed his comm. He hailed his cruiser. "Captain Rex, we have found someone alive in here, send a medical crew. We need to transport a frozen body onto the ship."

The captain hesitated for a moment "Sir? Are you.. sure?" he asked.

"Yes!" Anakin replied "Just do as I say." the response came as "Right away sir!"

Obi-wan, who was emerged in a holo didn't hear Anakin walk in. "Obi-wan, we found someone." The senior Jedi looked up from his holo in shock and sprung to his feet "Where?"

"In the cockpit." came the reply as Anakin already turned around back into the hallway.

Obi-wan caught up with him halfway and Anakin spoke while keeping a brisk pace "I contacted Rex, he is sending a medical crew to get her to the ship."

"Her?" Obi-wan asked. "Yes it is a human female by the looks of it." Anakin replied. "Why ask?"

Obi-wan looked ahead and answered "The holos, they were communication logs between a female Jedi and the council. There were some other crewmembers who joined the conversations here and there but that's besides the point. The amazing fact is that those holos do date back to the old Republic. If this is the Jedi in those holos we have just found a 3 thousand year old Jedi!"

Anakin did not reply, stunned by the revelation. They reached the cockpit and found that Ashoka had already freed the woman from the wall of ice.

Laying on the ground was a large human icicle, however crude the discription. Her arms were crossed before her face, as if trying to protect her head and her knees were pulled up.

It looked like the person had instinctively shielded herself from the impact and had been flashfrozen into that position right after the crash due to the cold temperature and the force of the impact. "Kind of like carbonite freezing. But that usually kills a living organism if it's not done controlled." Obi-wan had commented.

Through the ice all three of them saw two lightsabers at her hips. The three jedi pondered th implications of the situation while they waited for the clones to come in with a hover stretcher and haul the person to the cruiser. When help arrived, although the clones hid it well, the Jedi sensed they too felt uncomfortable at the wierd situation.

Once the unknown Jedi was safely in a shuttle and on her way to the cruiser with the clones Anakin spoke up. "Obi-wan, Ashoka, you go ahead to our shuttle."

"What are you going to do master?" the Tortugan padawan replied.

Anakin ignited his lightsaber and started cutting away at the ice on the controls. "There is too much information on this ship to just leave it here. Since the engines work, I am going to try and get this old girl to move again and fly her to the cruiser."

"Very well Anakin," Obi-wan said "your padawan and I will go ahead back to the cruiser and wait for you there, if you can't get the ship to move, comm us and we'll come back for you."

Anakin scoffed. "Please Master, There has never been a ship that I haven't been able to get to fly again." Anakin said sitting down in the pilot seat. Ashoka chuckled and Obi-wan shook his head when they walked out, towards their shuttle.

Anakin, working his magic on machines once again, did manage to get the ship flying again. With the help of some tow cables from the cruiser it was hauled into the cargohold.

Meanwhile the frozen Jedi was placed in the medbay, where a team of astounded medics and droids were busy unfreezing the woman as slowly and precisely as possible. The clones maneuvered the ship out of the meteor field and the three Jedi contacted the Jedi temple on Coruscant.

"Master Kenobi, knight Skywalker and Padawan Tano. Late you are, to arrive on Coruscant." Jedi grandmaster Yoda's holoform said. Seven other forms were present, meaning more then half the council was on Coruscant at this moment.

"And with an astounding reason, master Yoda," Obi-wan responded "we made the most peculiar discovery."

"And what is that?" Master Windu asked, raising an eyebrow.

Anakin continued. "We took an alternative hyperspace lane to the core. While in hyperspace Master Kenobi, Ashoka and I felt a very strange Force wave and moments later we were alerted that we had entered an uncharted meteor field."

"A Force wave? What kind of Force wave." Master Fisto inquired

"We were unsure at the time. The closest assumption we were able to make was a Jedi suddenly appearing nearby." Anakin answered.

"Very strange indeed. Not know of any missing Jedi, we do." master Yoda stated.

"That is the strangest part." Obi-wan took over again. "While trying to get out of the field, we found a ship crashed into one of the ice meteors. We decided to inspect it due to the nature of the sitation and the Force wave. The ship is a Jedi ship but it's design predates our archives. It's currently in our hold."

Several masters raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "And there was someone on the ship that caused that Force wave you felt?" Master Windu continued.

"Yes master, when we entered the ship and powered up the engines. We found one person aswell as several holos containing communication logs. Amazingly the woman was still alive, albeit frozen in ice" Anaking explained.

"I looked at some of the holos and they are recorded communications between a female jedi and the council. The recordings are dated around 10 ATC, the same as the ship. Which is why we drew the conclusion that the female we found was one of ours. She is currently in our med-bay being unfrozen and we are planning to take her with us to Coruscant." Obi-wan concluded

The council masters preplexed and murmuring could be heard. It was Yoda who spoke up. "Well done, you have. If survive, take this old Republic Jedi to the temple, you will. Wait for your arrival, we shall." The holo transmission ended.

"Captain Rex," Anaking said turning to the clone. "Take us to Coruscant as fast as you can. Push the engines if you have to."

"Yessir" replied the 501st Captain.

It would take 7 hours to get to Coruscant, according to the nav-computer. 7 hours was way too long in Anakin's opinion. But the cruiser could not be pushed any further.

The medics had very carefully melted the ice around the female jedi and to their astonishment the woman started living again the moment the core body temperature was sufficient. Blood started pumping, lungs started taking in air again and the brain started controlling the bodily function. Life support was not needed and the medics informed Anakin and Obi-wan that the patient was in good health, if maybe abit sore, and would probarly wake before they reached their destination.

Anakin and Obi-wan had set up a watch besides her bed. Obi-wan had pointed out that their female friend would probarly wake up very confused and alarmed. She would probarly need some reassurance from a fellow jedi. Anakin agreed and took up the first watch.

Sitting in a chair next to the infirmary bed. He took his time to observe their intriguing friend. She was definitely a she, judging from her, how did Obi-wan say it again? Prominent assets.

She had shoulderlong scarlet hair and her face carried a large scar, reaching from her forehead above her right eye over her nose to her left cheek. The medics had come by now and then to check up on her. On one occasion they checked her eyesight with a light and Anakin had noted her eyes had a very pale, icy blue color.

He had also examined her attire. Her clothes had been removed and she wore a standard medical robe. Anakin looked over to the clothes folded on a table next to him.

While the design was obviously that of the Jedi it was nothing like the flowing robes or the occasional leather jacket he wore himself. Her dark brown robe, by lack of better word, had a hood like all Jedi clothing but instead of it draping her shoulders it was formed into a tight fitting vest. It was also reinforced with plasteel plates to function as armor. The shoulders held larger pads of plasteel and the vest turned back into a traditional robe and flowed below her belt, nearly reaching the ground. Under that she wore cloth pants and then a set of boots that reached up to her knees, both with plasteel shin guards. Lastly she had elegant gauntlets of the same material protecting her elbows and lower arms, like Obi-wan.

They had also noted she had two lightsabers instead of one like most jedi. More importantly both lightsabers were, after igniting them to check, a deep orange colour. There was no Jedi alive with that colour of lightsaber crystal. The closest to it came master Windu's with its purple colour or the yellow from the Sentinels in the temple, offsetting the green and blue that the rest of the jedi wielded.

Lastly, in the silence of the med-bay, he probed her with the force. Sensing her connection and getting quite the shock. She was almost as strong as himself!

He quickly scanned the medical file that the droids had made during the examination for her midiclorian count, taken from a bloodsample. Anaking knew his own was the highest ever sitting at 27000. Next in line came master Yoda's with 21000. But this unknown Jedi had a total count of 24500 midiclorians! This Made her stronger and any known Jedi besides himself at this point in time.

Anakin could no longer surpress his amazement at the female Jedi laying in the bed infront of him. He could not wait for her to wake up. The Jedi closed his eyes, placing a hand on her arm and feeding her little bits of forcepower to recuperate.

'My head hurts..' was the first concious thought that crossed her mind. Doc might have something against the pain, if he wasn't riling up her old padawan. The Chemistry between the medic and Kira was amusing, but exhausting aswell. *

She was suddenly aware of the fact more than just her head hurt. Her body felt cold and she had trouble feeling anything. The only thing she felt was a pressure, like a hand, on her arm.

Wait, feeling came back into the rest of her limbs. She tried moving them but was unable to have them cooperate. Slightly panicking, she called upon the Force, its connection there like it had alway been.

Her muscles and nerves registered the forced movement and protested. Pain shot through her like a knife, stopping her from trying to move again.

Suddenly she heard a voice. Male by the sound. Doc? That would explain why it felt like she was on an infirmary bed. Slowly she opened her eyes, and found a pair of clear blue ones staring back. Wavy sandblond hair cascaded around the male's head and she saw a scar near his right eye. Not Doc then.

In alarm she raised her head up, once again calling on the Force and trying to shove the man away, but he resisted.

"Calm down, friend," The man said "I'm not going to hurt you. You're going to be all right."

Since her Jedi powers were the only things still working properly she probed the man with the Force, finding to her relief that it was a Jedi, not a Sith or some Imperial that had gotten his hands on her.

She calmed down and layed her head back on the pillow.

"We found you frozen in ice in an uncharted meteor field and quite amazingly you were still alive." The man explained. "Could you tell me your name?" He asked.

Struggling to find her voice she replied. "W..What's yours?"

The man blinked, not expecting that respone, but recovered with a smile and said "Anakin Skywalker."

"I'm Bethany Cross" the old Republic Jedi replied. Then fatigue took over again and she fell back asleep.

*Doc and Kira are companions that join you in SWTOR if you play the Jedi Knight class. Doc is a massive flirt who happens to be a doctor and Kira Carsen is your (ex)padawan (depending on where in the game you are). Further mentions of them will be made later on in the story.

That's chapter one (version 2.0), I hope you guys like it, and if you can, leave a review!

Loretwister out.
