The Light Sentinel (Marvel/Star Wars Crossover)

Chapter 4: Recruiting Friends

I quickly changed from my pajamas to my Echani Praetorian guard outfit. It consisted of Echani battle armor with a black tunic on top of the armor and underneath a silver vest, Kamas also known as belt-capes, which were worn just around my utility belt, black boots, Echani silvery pink accuracy gloves, leather arm guards made of Titanium and Cortosis metals, and my long white robe over my armor, tunic, and vest.

After getting dressed, I made my way to the dining table where Anakin, Skye, Allie, and Teckla were having breakfast. R3 and Bunny stood beside them as they spoke to each other. As soon as R3 saw me, he let out several excited beeps. I chuckled. When I approached them, I gave R3 a gentle pat. "Thanks for always looking out for me, old friend."

Allie then cleared her throat as she raised an eyebrow. I quickly added on. "And you too, Allie and Teckla, thanks for looking out for me...even when I insist I'm fine." 

Allie and Teckla both gave me smiles as they bowed their heads. I then decided to sit down with them to eat breakfast before I'd leave Anakin and Skye with Leia and Han, and decide to grab some friends to help.

"Is it true that you're going to bring back our brothers and sisters, ma'dra?" Anakin asked.

"And fa'dra and all those who turned into dust?" Skye inquired.

I smiled at their words. "I'll do whatever it takes to get them back, min turhayas. But first we are going to take you to Aunt Leia and Uncle Han."

"Why can't we go with you?" Anakin questioned with a disappointed look.

"Because Ani, it's too dangerous. And you're too young. You're not ready yet." I explained.

"When will I be ready, ma'dra?" Anakin asked with a curious look.

My heart hurt upon hearing Anakin utter those same words that Piecor constantly asked me. I mentally shook my head. No, I must remain strong...for my family and friends. They need me. They need the Avengers.

"There will come a day when you are ready, Ani. But that day is not today, you will start your training as a Jedi when I come back." I informed him.

Anakin's eyes shot up. "Really?!"

I nodded. "I mean it, Ani. Now Bunny, make sure they each pack a bag for them to take. We'll be leaving shortly."

Bunny nodded. "Right away, Storm!"

With that Bunny along with Anakin and Skye packed a bag, taking clothing and their holopads with them. Skye also took her tooka doll with her. Once they were ready we boarded our ship, taking Aslan, Iago, Pua, Gus, Mochi, Zelda, and Rex with us. My ship was a VCX-350 light freighter made by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. I named my ship LOP-FPS.

It wasn't long until we landed on Hosnian Prime near Leia's and Han's home. While flying the ship, Teckla sent Leia a hologram, informing her that we were coming. Their home was in Darropolis, near the Republic City, which was the capital of Hosnian Prime. The homes in Hosnian Prime were dome-style and were built on crystal dunes.

While Leia was a Senator in the Galactic Senate on Hosnian Prime, Han became the owner of a shipping company that often raced for charity and sponsored several piloting matches. Han was often found traveling through different systems, working on ships or racing. Nevertheless Leia and Han remained in contact through holograms. Once we approached their home, Leia greeted us with open arms.

"It's good to see you again, Storm." Leia said with a smile.

"You too, Leia." I replied.

Her eyes lit up when she saw Anakin and Skye. "And you brought company with you."
