After protecting Padme Amidala during the Battle of Naboo, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY along with Ahsoka and the Solo Twins were transported back to the World Between Worlds. As they returned, they were greeted by the Bendu as well as Ozpin and Arygyn.

Bendu: You all did well. Thanks to your efforts, Padme Amidala survives to carry out her destiny.

Ruby: Glad we could help. That was....intense.

Weiss: I'm surprised Finn's stunt didn't get us killed!

Finn: Hey! It worked, didn't it?

Bendu: It matters not. What matters is that you protected Padme Amidala. You have preserved this part of the timeline.

The Bendu then shows the events that happened during and after the Battle of Naboo. They watched as a united coalition of Naboo and Gungans fought and defeated the Trade Federation. They watched as the young Anakin Skywalker piloted his Naboo Starfighter to destroy the Droid Control Ship. Ahsoka smiled as she watched the young boy already display remarkable piloting abilities. 

Ahsoka: Good job, Skyguy....

Bendu: The Chosen One shall come, born of no father, and through him will ultimate balance in the Force be restored.

As the Bendu said this, he showed Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan dueling against the Sith Lord Darth Maul. They watched as Maul land the killing blow on Qui-Gon only for him to be cut in half by Obi-Wan. Only Ahsoka knew that Maul would survive his injuries and go on to torment Obi-Wan during the Clone Wars.

Yang: Poor Obi-Wan. At least he got payback.

Piper: What now?

Bendu: For now, I must prepare the next doorway. Take this time to rest and recover your strength.

As the Bendu's form vanished, the Storm Hawks spoke with Team RWBY.

Blake: That was a risky move you pulled on the Viceroy, Finn.

Finn: Hey! It worked!

Weiss: Making up some royal title is not a way to fool anyone!

Finn: But I didn't make it up! I'm actually the Domo of Terra Vaops! 

Yang: Is he always like this?

Stork: Yes.

Junko: Finn's actually real nice once you get to know him!

Ruby: Well you guys handled yourselves pretty good out there!

Aerrow: Right back at you, Ruby.

Ruby: So what's your world like?

Aerrow: Atmos. World of a thousand mountaintop kingdoms, each protected by a Sky Knight against the forces of darkness: beasts, rogues, and worst of all, Cyclonians. Our mission: unite the kingdoms and rid Atmos of evil forever.

Ruby: That's not too similar to what Huntresses do in Remnant. The best and brightest warriors of Remnant, ranking higher than Kingdom police and even military, in terms of strength, and skill with the hope of creating elite warriors whose sole purpose would be to combat the creatures of Grimm.

At this point, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY were quick to spot similarities between each other. In their respective worlds, they were the guardians of peace and justice. Meanwhile, Jaina kept a close eye on Darth Caedus. As the Sith Lord looked upon his missing arm, he turned to his sister.

Darth Caedus: There's no need for you to watch over me like a hawk. Betraying you won't gain me anything.

Jaina: A Sith always acts in his own interest, Caedus. I'm not giving you that chance.

Darth Caedus sighs as he turns away from his twin sister. Once, the two were inseparable. Now they were mortal enemies. But even though he was locked in a death match against Jaina, the fallen Jacen Solo's thoughts fell on his wife Tenal Ka and his daughter Allana. Ahsoka meditated. As she meditated, she was approached by the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY.

Aerrow: So you're a Jedi too?

Ahsoka: You could call me that. 

Ruby: Your laser swords were awesome! They cut through those robots like they were nothing!

Ahsoka: Oh? 

Yang: Rubes really likes weapons.

Blake: It's...it's so strange being here.

Ahsoka: The Force brought us all here for a reason. The Force called upon us all.

Piper: The Force?

Ahsoka: The Force is an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the Galaxy together.

Junko: Cool!

Finn: You mean I can do all those crazy stuff with my mind?!

Ahsoka: Not quite. That's not how the Force works. Some are more attuned than others.

Weiss: The Bendu spoke of Light and Dark.

Ahsoka: The Force is about balance. Light and Dark are constantly clashing at one another.

As Ahsoka spoke of the Force, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY were in awe of the Force. Piper had a vague understanding of the Force, connecting it to the Binding. Ruby wondered if the powers of the Silver Eyes was connected to the Force. She also wondered if the Maiden Powers or the Relics back on Remnant  Suddenly, a tremor was felt across the entire World Between Worlds. The Force Sensitives were most affected by this tremor. Even Piper felt this tremor.

Yang: That's not good....

Weiss: That is an understatement....

Junko: What's going on?!

Stork: Oh Doom, why have you forsaken me?

After a moment, the tremor stopped.

Bendu: Abeloth's power is growing. The Multiverse is beginning to fracture.

Ozpin: We are running out of time.

Arygyn: We must move immediately.

Bendu: The doorway is ready. It will take you all to the next pivotal event. All shall be known once you arrive.

With that, the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY along with Ahsoka and the Solo Twins walked through the doorway and entered the next event. But what the Storm Hawks and Team RWBY didn't know was that this next adventure would take them to the very first days of one of the most important conflicts in the entire Multiverse.
