Beyond - Legends Where No Jedi Has Gone Before (SW/ST) Announcement on page 26. Done... for now.

This is...a crossover between Star Wars and Star Trek.

Note: a crossover, not a versus. There is a difference.

And now I shall go into a rant about how a lot of these crossovers simply don't work. There are some good SW/ST crossovers out there, but a lot are written by people with biases toward either Star Trek or Star Wars. I don't like Star Wars as much as Star Trek, but until the NJO it was right behind the USS Enterprise.

Here's the deal. With the exception of possibly a pirate boarding action, there won't be a single space battle here. No star destroyers or Sovereign-classes will duke it out. Instead, here's some of the things I might do...

Ackbar and Picard sitting down for tea.

Han Solo learning Data is an android after becoming great friends with him.

Lowbacca, Chewbacca and Worf fighting-together.

Beverly Crsher and Tenel Ka getting to know one another.

Maybe Pellaeon will join Ackbar and Picard...

Before I start, this post was edited by SarkaVrae. Thanks, Jody!

Here we go!

Where No Jedi Has Gone Before

Prologue
He was dead. Of that much, he was certain.

James T. Kirk held up his hands, or at least the spiritual equivalent. They were translucent, and had an odd blue tinge to them. He felt, in a paradoxical way, more alive than he ever had before.

He looked up just in time to see that Starfleet captain from the future. "Jean-Luc!" He yelled. "I'm not dead." He paused. "I can't be dead. I was supposed to die alone."

Just ahead, Jean-Luc Picard, captain of the late starship Enterprise, pulled a corpse out of a twisted metal framework. Kirk walked up to him and peered over his shoulder. No emotion was visible on his face as he stared into his own lifeless eyes.

Jean-Luc closed his eyes and made the sign of the cross. Merde. I'm sorry, Jim. I should have been able to defeat Soran and? A tear ran down his cheek as he gathered up Jim's body. "I will see you get a proper burial. It's the least I can do." Jean-Luc began walking straight towards Jim, who was only mildly surprised when the captain passed right through him.

Jim shivered at the experience. "I don't like that."

"It's not so bad, once you get used to it."

Jim spun around and instantly shifted into a standard Starfleet defensive stance. After about half a second, he remembered his intangibility.

"Who?are you?" He asked as he looked at the man. Like Jim, his body had a blue tinge to it and was translucent. Unlike Jim, who wore his Starfleet uniform, he wore a simple gray shirt, white pants and a brown robe. His face was partially obscured by a hood. Jim walked up to him. "My name is James T. Kirk, late of the starship Enterprise. I ask again: who are you?"

The man pulled down the hood. "I am to be your guide into what comes next. It will be confusing and perhaps a little frightening, but I can assure you it will be worth it in the end." The man's blue eyes shone with amusement as he spoke the next words. "Consider it the true 'final frontier'."

Jim turned around slowly and looked up. By now Jean-Luc was halfway up the mountain. "A friend of mine once said that I can take death, and turn it into a fighting chance." He shrugged his shoulders. "I guess my chances were all used up." He looked at the man. "So, what force sent you here, the angels or the devils?"

A low chuckle escaped from the man's lips. "I wouldn't call all of them angels, but it is a force of the light that sent me." He walked up to Jim and, much to his surprise, placed a hand on Jim's shoulder. "You have done much good, James T. Kirk. It's now time for you to rest. Let the burden of saving the galaxy fall onto the next generation's shoulders." For a second, he hesitated. Then a thought struck him. I'm dead. What good can come from hanging around this plane of existence when there's a new one just waiting? "All right, lead the way Mr.?" He hesitated as a look of confusion swept his face. "By the way, what's your name?"

The man laughed. "I apologize." He bowed in a s

 

This looks good. I like ST TNG too, although I like SW OT better (probably because of Han....well... ok FOR SURE because of Han! )

Anyway, I will be reading this. Maybe you can have Han get a bit jealous of Riker looking at Leia, unless Riker is already married to Deanne in this. Of course, Deanne could get even and flirt with Han, then! LOL!

 

I can't believe I have to kick this up already...

 

I love ST! It's great to see a crossover story. It looks really good.

 

you know i thought this was a great idea & a great post, but, knowing what a feedback junkie that you are, i decided i'd be nice and give you a reply post, m'kay?

first of all, I didn't help all that much, stinker.

i really liked the whole idea, of them all getting a chance to interact and talk, etc. this scene in particular is cool b/c it's just such a different concept. i loved it! i really can't wait to see what else you write in here. please do PM me about it when you get it done (that is, of course, unless i know about it b/c i get the honor of reading over it before you post!! hahaha!).

great job, Jon. good story, great beginning, & congrats on getting me to read in Beyond!

 

Now this looks interesting... I've always been a ST and SW fan...

But I'm curious how this is going to work with Jim being dead...

 

Spock: Fascinating.

Kirk: I'm... dead...?!

Bones: You're dead, Jim.

**The cliché is interrupted by the incoherent roar of a Klingon warrior, appearing in a smoke-filled hatchway at one end of a red-lit room**

**at the far end of the room, a blue lightsaber blade ignites in the steam and shadows, and Luke Skywalker steps into view**

TNG Klingon: Qapla', jIyDay!

**charges with Sword of Honour**

**thrum-swish**

**two near-simultaneous thuds as the TNG Klingon hits the ground**

A silent column of red-gold light sparkles into life, and a TOS-era Imperial-race Klingon, Specialist Azhay tai-Kohr, offers a thumbs-up to Luke.

Klingon: Kai Kassai, Reb!

**Meanwhile, in another part of the franchise**

Archer (looking in mirror): Oh, boy...

Looking forward to seeing this one continued...

Yay! I've got reviews!

GreatOne-Thank you. And hmm...that does sound like a good idea. Riker and Troi aren't married yet, but they're dating in my fic. And this is post-YJK era-but no Yuzzie scarheads.

Sara_Kenobi-Thank you. I try.

Jody-You helped, and that's all that counts. And yeah, I was going for a different concept with this one. Having a SW and a ST character just...talk seems to be very rare. I just wanted to try it.

RedGold-Thank you. And the post was sort of a test, to see if people would go for it. The real fun will be with the TNG crew-and one half human, half Vulcan.

Thrawn_McEwok-
Except for the last part, I have no earthly idea what to make of your response. So...thank you.

Okay, remember if you want to be PMed when I update, you have to tell me.

Here we go!

Chapter One: Crossing the Barrier
Captain?s log: Stardate 53010.3. With the end of the Dominion Incursion, Starfleet hopes that diplomatic relations might be opened with the Romulans. We have been allowed to retrieve Ambassador Spock so he might address the Federation Council on the current state of the Romulan Empire.

Jean-Luc Picard, captain of the Enterprise, stood at attention in transporter room three. A column of energy appeared on the transporter platform, coalescing into a humanoid form. Ambassador Spock stepped down from the platform and stood in front of Picard. The captain noted that Spock?s face seemed to carry a few more wrinkles since last they met. Still, the Vulcan carried himself with a quiet dignity that few could match. He walked up to Picard and held up his hand. ?Peace and long life.? He said, spreading his fingers in the traditional Vulcan salute. Picard nodded and returned the gesture. ?Live long and prosper.?

Spock nodded. ?It is good to see you again, Captain.? Picard nodded, and the two left the transporter room. ?How is Romulus?? He asked. Spock?s right eyebrow arched. ?The populace threw its full support behind the war once the Dominion?s plans were leaked. It also led to a lot of the citizens getting involved in issues they might not have.? Spock let out a breath. ?The war has possibly done more good for the Romulans than bad. Illogical, but true.? Picard nodded. ?War is the least logical course of action, but sometimes the most necessary.? They entered a turbo lift. ?Deck eleven.? Picard said.

While the turbo lift rose, Picard and Spock continued talking. ?We have Ambassador Worf with us. Perhaps you two can-? Before Picard could continue, the turbo lift shuddered around them. Both men also felt their vision dim, as if the lights inside the car shorted out for a moment. Picard tapped his combadge. ?Bridge, what just happened??

At the top of the Enterprise?s saucer section, Commander William Riker looked up from the science station. ?We?re not sure, Captain. The ship dropped out of warp, and then everyone?s vision went fuzzy for a moment. Frankly, I?m not sure what happened.? He glanced up at the ops, currently occupied by the ship?s second officer Lieutenant Commander Data. Data glanced up and shrugged. ?I have no idea what is going on, sir.?

Riker let out a groan and looked up at the main viewer. ?Helm, check the position of the stars against our maps. Let?s see where we are.? The main viewer flickered from a shot of space to a three-dimensional picture of local space on one side. Various maps of star clusters and sectors flashed on the other as the computer tried to match up where they were. After a few minutes, the computer spoke. ?Unable to identify location.?

Data turned back to Riker and smiled. ?Well, we are explorers. It appears we can now do quite a bit of exploring.? Riker scowled and turned back to the science station. ?Get to work on finding out what happened.? Data nodded and sat back down. ?Aye, sir.?

The turbolift door opened, allowing Picard and Spock to enter. ?Report.? The captain said. Riker looked up and over. ?We don?t have any real answers, Captain. One moment we were going a

 

incredible! very simple movement, but very vivid as well--this whole scene played out in my head incredibly sharp & easily.

a big grin is still on my face with Han talking to the Enterprise--man, this is too cool!

great job Jon! {i even liked the way you put chewie's words in brackets like that, very cool}

[face_applause}

 

*Bump*

More tomorrow.

 

Okay, so you've now brought Spock and the TNG crew to Yavin...

Two things spring to mind as a result...

1.) Q?

3.) Vulcan Jedi?



I like this 'fic!

- The Imperial Ewok

 

The Enterprise at the Jedi Academy??? COOL!!

hehehehe...

can't wait!

 

HEY! For a change, Han has a GOOD feeling about something!

Nice postie! I like this story.

 

Hooboy...I'm thinking back to the first SW/ST crossovers we used to write in high school!! *shudders* I can't believe we actually WROTE those...I'll betcha this one is a marked improvement. I'll be sure to read it in a little more depth in the near future!

 

Jody-Thank you. I like having Chewie talk.

Thrawn-Yup. Now, no Q. But Spock miiiight have a conversation or two with Luke and some of the Jedi Masters. ANd now I've got an idea...SPock and Mara Jade...



RedGold-Yeah. And thank you.

GreatOne-Han's gotta have a good feeling about something eventually. It's the law of averages or something. Thank you.

Chris- Woah! Didn't expect you here, dude. Yeah, those ones were bad...but remember that you wrote them too. I am planning on giving my copies the MST3K treatment within the next few months.

Here we go!

*****
Picard thought for a moment before speaking. ?We?d be happy to take you up on your offer, Captain Solo. Picard out.? Tirsek closed the channel and spoke. ?Captain, I think I know where this Solo fellow is talking about. There?s a star system about two light years out, and sensors not only indicate a gas giant but one with several moons.? Picard organized his thoughts before speaking. ?Mister Data, continue the quantum scan and coordinate with Ambassador Spock. I want a report by the time we hit this Yavin System.? He stood up and turned to Worf. ?Ambassador, we may need you once we get there.? Worf nodded. ?I am at your disposal, Captain.?

The captain nodded. ?Thank you.? He turned to helm and spoke. ?Set course for the Yavin System, warp seven.? The Enterprise?s bow rose and the impulse engines fired, sending the Sovereign-class battle cruiser forward and past the Millennium Falcon. The comparatively tiny CEC YT-1300 freighter pirouetted on its axis and followed behind. The twin nacelles of the Enterprise flashed, creating a warp field and sending the ship hurtling forward at 656 times the speed of light. The Falcon followed and, with a flash of light, entered hyperspace.
*****
Captain?s log: Stardate 53015.7. The Enterprise is now in orbit around the fourth moon of a gas giant. Hopefully we might be able to contact someone in authority there. Meanwhile, Commander Data and Ambassador Spock have a theory on what has happened to us.

Lieutenant Commander Data stood at the head of the table with a weird smile on his face. Picard, Riker, Worf, Spock, Tirsek, Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge and Councilor Deanna Troi sat at the conference table and waited for Data to begin. ?I believe Ambassador Spock and I have figured out what has happened. We have crossed over into an alternate reality through a tear in the space/time continuum. Our warp engines use continuum distortion propulsion, so the Enterprise was able to punch through fairly easily.? Worf massaged his forehead and sank down into his chair. ?Not again?? He muttered.

Data looked up and over at the ambassador. ?I am afraid so, Ambassador. Fortunately, we should not be jumping realities.? Worf let out a breath. ?For that, I am eternally grateful.? A sudden thought crossed his mind. ?Wait, what are we doing here? Shouldn?t we head back before the hole closes?? Spock turned and looked over at the agitated Klingon. ?The rift sealed immediately after we crossed over, Ambassador. It is entirely logical to assume that our warp engines will be more than sufficient to reopen it.? Data nodded in agreement.? Worf shrugged, not entirely convinced but willing to wait.

Picard looked about. ?I also think this is an unprecedented opportunity for exploration. Think about it-we?re in another universe. And we have a fairly reliable means of getting back to Federation space.? He slammed his hands on the table and pushed up into a vertical position. ?Commander Tirsek, contact this?Jedi Academy and see if they?d allow us to beam a small landing party down.? Tirsek nodded. ?Yes, sir.?

Before she left, Riker called out. ?And Tirsek, see if you can find out what a ?Jedi? is.? She nodded once before leaving the conference room.

Luke Skywalker stood out on the landing field, blue eyes cast up at the sky. The gas giant of Yavin Prime dominated the sky, but if he enhanced his eyesight, he could just make out a small sliver of silver against the predominantly blue sky. Han and

 

Errr.. so now Luke is talking like Spock, and Spock is talking like Luke...

 

Hmm... Spock and Luke - genius!

I like the evenhanded approach to the "versus" issues, too...

Good characterization all round, too...

- The Imperial Ewok

 

Oh, I'm enjoying this...

Could you PM me with updates?

 

great post Jon!

i liked the interaction between the two groups for the first time, my only wish is that there were more!

very cool indeed!

 

Ut oh...

 

Oh this is great!! Loving it so far! Hehehe So the 'will of the Force' rubbing off on Spock is it some? hehehehe

Can't wait for more! Hopefully Chewie will get his chance to see the engines on the Enterprise!

(edit: Opps forgot to ask you to PM me on updates since I hardly ever visit ByTS board. Thanks!!)

 

Great story so far! I hope everyone gets sorted out into their own mind soon though. I'm going to be a little wierded out if Luke goes all unemotional for very long.

I'm so glad to see a balanced meeting between the two. Now, when are Jim and Ben gonna show up?

KD

 

*Looks at number of reviews*

Woah...

GreatOne-Only for now. Aftereffects of the mind meld.

Thrawn-Thank you. Characterization's important to me, especially in a fic like this.

Jaded_Girl-That's all? I'm disappointed, my young padawan. Consider yourself added.

Jody-Thank you! You know what they say. "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."

RedGold-Okay...

Kynstar-Thanks! And consider yourself added.

Knight-Oh, don't worry. They'll get sorted. And consider yourself added.

Here we go!

*****
Luke motioned to the Jedi Temple. ?I?ll contact Leia. I?m sure she?ll want to meet you and possibly open up negotiations.? Spock nodded, then turned his head around to Picard. ?Luke?s sister is Chief of State for the New Republic.? Picard nodded and tapped his combadge. ?Bridge, this is the captain. We have made successful first contact.? In a lower voice, he asked Spock. ?Are you all right?? Spock nodded. ?Yes, Captain. The mind meld was unusually intense due to Master Skywalker?s powers. I found it quite?fascinating.?

Across the field, Han checked up on Luke. ?You okay?? Luke?s blue eyes focused on his brother-in-law. ?Yeah. It was just?strange.? Han nodded, although Luke could still feel concern radiating off his best friend. ?Well, don?t get all logical on me, okay? I don?t want you sounding like an astromech, okay?? A smile tugged at the corner of Luke?s mouth, but he kept a serious expression in the end.

Riker, sitting in the command chair and going over sensor scans, looked up and responded. ?Well, that?s good.? He paused for a moment. ?When can we expect your return?? Picard paused for a moment and turned to the quartet. ?One moment, Number One.? The good captain cleared his throat, attracting Han, Chewie, Tenel Ka and Luke. ?Would any of you like a tour of the ship?? Chewie let out a roar and ran over to Picard. {Yes, Captain! I do wish for a tour!} The Wookiee?s brown eyes were wide, and he jumped up and down like a cub. Tenel Ka let a ghost of a smile cross her lips. ?Ah, aha. I also wish to take a tour of the ship.?

Han and Luke exchanged a glance. ?We gonna let them have all the fun?? A big smile crossed Luke?s mouth. ?It might be?neat.? They all walked over to the away team?s position. ?Bridge, we will be having four guests.? Han stood next to Data, brown eyes looking up at the sky. ?Will this hurt?? He asked. Data patted him on the shoulder. ?I assure you, Captain, you will not feel a thing.? Han turned to him and nodded, but before he could say anything, a silvery cloud descended over his eyes. When it lifted a half-second later, Han found himself standing in a room on an elevated pedestal. Worf, Spock, Picard and Data calmly stepped off. ?That was our transporter. It converts matter to-? Picard stopped talking when he noticed none of the new arrivals moving. He turned back and saw Luke waving his hand about and flexing it. ?That was?incredible.?

Han?s hands were checking his midsection and he was mumbling. ?Kidneys? check. Lungs?? He took in a deep lungful of air, ?check.? He blinked and focused on Data. ?I can see.? His shoulders sagged in relief. ?I?m all here!? He stepped down and walked over to the transporter chief. ?Hey, kid. How can I get one of these for my ship??

Picard raised his hand as if warding off some evil. ?Ah, Captain Solo? What about the tour?? Han half-turned and waved him off. ?Oh, I?ll catch up.? Picard and Luke exchanged a glance, and Luke spoke up. ?Han, Chewie might need a translator, and what about the Enterprise?s engines?? Han rolled his eyes and stood back up. ?I?m coming, kid.? Before he left, the former smuggler turned to the transporter chief. ?I?ll be back, though.?
*****
?What?

?You heard me, Jim. The Enterprise is in my reality. It crashed through?something.?

James T. Kirk let out a metaphorical sigh and grabbed Obi-Wan Kenobi by his ethereal shoulders, spinning the Jedi Master around. ?They crossed into your dimension? Is that good?? Ben shrugged. ?See for yourself.? He waved his hand, and a small wi

 

The trickster waved Jim off. ?Oh, why don?t you go talk another malfunctioning computer or pretender god into suicide?? Jim rubbed his chin in thought. ?Got an hour, Q??

hee hee hee Loved that bit!

And Han checking himself over. excellent.

KD

 

Yay!!! Q is about! hehehe I soooo loved Q even if he was a pain in the ole kisser *snrk* the Robin Hood episode juz rocked hehehehehe

Great job!! Loved Han's response to the transporting! hehehehe

(edit: Oh forgot about the 'wanting one on his ship' that was funny too! Yay Chewie gets to see the engines now!)
