Chapter Eight - Omens

After participating in the Battle Of Geonosis, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY along with their Force Sensitive allies were transported back to the World Between Worlds. The Bendu along with Ozpin and Arygyn greeted them.

Bendu: You all once more preserved the timeline.

Ruby: All in a day's work!

Aerrow: Likewise.

Ozpin: We all saw was transpired. Abeloth's meddling with the timeline is creating ripples across the Multiverse.

Arygyn: The damage is being already being felt across the Multiverse.

Yang: All the more reason to kick Abeloth's butt!

Ahsoka: Be mindful, Yang. This battle is far from over. We must always be vigilant. Our best option for now is to continue repairing the damage done to the timeline by Abeloth.

As Ahsoka says this, the Bendu shows them the events that transpired after the Battle of Geonosis. They watched as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi catch up to Count Dooku and engage in a duel, only for them to be defeated by the Count. Even as Jedi Grandmaster Yoda arrived, Count Dooku managed to escape. The entire group watched as the Clone Wars began.

Finn: Yeesh. That looks intense.

Ahsoka: This war will wreck havoc across the Galaxy.

Jaina: Speaking from experience?

Ahsoka said nothing as she reflected on her experiences in the Clone Wars. She thought about all the death and destruction she witnessed in the Clone Wars. It was a feeling many of the Force Sensitives were familiar with.

Bendu: It will be some time before we continue. Take this opportunity to rest.

With that, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY heeded the Bendu's advice. As they rested, the two groups took the time to converse with one another.

Aerrow: Crazy ride we've been on so far, hasn't it?

Ruby: No kidding. I never thought we'd be saving the Multiverse.

Weiss: Seems like both of our journeys have taken such...strange turns.

Finn: Speak for yourself! From the sounds of it, you're still trying to take down your big bad! We took ours down!

Blake: Salem is an immortal Grimm Queen that can summon thousands upon thousands of Grimm.

Finn: Maybe when this is all over, we can pay your world a visit and kick Salem's ass! Shouldn't be that hard.

That response promptly earns Finn a smack in the back of the head from Piper.

Piper: I think what Finn is trying to say is that we'd be happy to help your world if you want.

Weiss: Is he always such a dolt?

Piper: You have no idea....

Junko: Finn's actually really nice once you get to know him.

Stork: His good qualities are few and far in between.

Ruby and Yang couldn't help but chuckle at the shots taken at Finn. Meanwhile, Ahsoka was mediating on the Force. As she meditates, she glances over to Jaina and Darth Caedus. She could tell that something was terribly wrong.

Darth Caedus: I know it sounds strange to hear this from me, but fighting with you again like this reminded me of old times.

Jaina: This changes nothing between us, Caedus.

Darth Caedus: I'm aware of this, Jaina. But know that I've saved your life multiple times when I could've easily have let you die.

Jaina said nothing in response to Darth Caedus's words. It wasn't long before they were approached by Ahsoka. 

Ahsoka: You were both taught by Luke Skywalker. 

Jaina: Luke Skywalker is my....

Darth Caedus: Both of our uncles. 

Upon hearing this, Ahsoka wore a sorrowful look on her face as she glanced at Darth Caedus.

Ahoska: That is....unfortunate. 

Darth Caedus: I did what I had to do. 

Jaina: Keep telling yourself that....Caedus. 

Darth Caedus had no response to Jaina's words. Ahsoka could feel the shattered bond between the Solo Twins. The pain she felt from the two of them reminded her of what she felt when battled against her former Master on Malachor. 

Ahsoka: I...I don't know what happened to set you two on the path that you are on. But I hope that this journey can....heal what has been broken. 

Jaina: Don't hold your breath. If you knew what he did, you'd know that he's too far gone.

Darth Caedus remained silent in response to his sister's harsh words. Suddenly, the ground began to shake as a tremor was felt. Without hesitation, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY along with their Force Sensitive allies met up with the Bendu, Ozpin and Arygyn.

Bendu: Despite your progress, Abeloth's power continues to grow.

Stork: So we're doomed?

Ozpin: As long as we continue to restore the timeline, we can halt Abeloth's advance!

Arygyn: But we've got to be quick about it! Time is not on our side!

Aerrow: Don't worry! We won't let you down!

Ruby: We'll do what we can! You can count on us!

Bendu: The doorway is ready, but I must warn you. The next event you will take part in will not be for the faint of heart. Some of you will know what I speak of. But I cannot stress enough the importance of maintaining the timeline. No matter what happens, you must not intervene. May the Force be with you.

With that, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY along with their Force Sensitive allies crossed into the portal taking them to the next event. Little did they know that they would bear witness to one of the Galaxy's darkest days. But despite the dark event that they would bear witness to, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY along with their Force Sensitive allies would do everything in their power to preserve the timeline and stop Abeloth's destructive assault on the Multiverse.
