#pla x star wars crossover

[m0nster-in-paradise]

this is a first draft and some characters characterization has been changed so they fit star wars better. also this just loosely follows the plot of legends arceus. like rei meets everyone at once. also I included some of the stuff from .superweapon on this. remember: First Draft. this was never intended to be published. this is also crossposted from wildstyle on Quotev . Anyway star wars x pla crossover below the short blurb thingy + ramblings

Melli hisses and yanks his hand back, swinging it back and forth when Irida's little R-4 unit pinches it. "Screw you," he mutters, and tosses a wrench at it. "Get to work on the hydropaneling, the plates are busted and if we crashland in water we're all done for." The little thing swears up, down, and sideways at him through a series of beeps that definitely isn't droidspeak that Melli doesn't understand, then opens a little panel in its siding and rolls off to take care of the breach. Melli scoffs. It's kind of a cute little thing, but it has no business being around with him and Lord Electrode in this dirty, grimy environment. They're the ship's mechanics-- he'd expect Irida to send the droid back to the Sabi-named "blaster bay" to help the gunners out instead of him. Maybe Adaman or Rei made her help out? He doesn't expect someone who never cleans their own ship to know just how important and crucial his work is.

Either that, or someone wanted him to get help so he couldn't crow about the many times he's kept the Diamond Clan alive.

Melli watches the R-4 roll away for a moment, then sighs and goes back to what he was working on, grabbing one of the tools he's used for so long he's forgotten its name and knows it by instinct and returns to the wiring that had started sparking suddenly during the skirmish they'd been in. He remembers that he'd just replaced these when he met Rei. Weird to think that it's been a whole year since the little shit started helping them out.

"Lord Electrode," he calls in a sing-song voice, "a little help, please?"

Lord Electrode is a giant ball. Obviously not just a giant ball; it has several photoreceptor arrays and it's painted red and white, not to mention the hundreds of panels for every repair imaginable and its ability to rewire things almost instantly without getting shocked or the huge panel on the side right under its two main photoreceptors that serves as a grenade launcher-- an absolutely beautiful attachment that almost brought Melli to tears the first time he saw it. Adaman may have cried for a different reason.

Hey, can't blame a guy who works on ships for liking explosions. It's practically a job requirement.

Lord Electrode rolls over to him and dispenses a singular hairband into his hand. Melli rolls his eyes good-naturedly at it, though he does go to tie up his (magnificent) hair so it doesn't get singed.

"I appreciate the gesture," he says, "but I need you to fix this," he points at the wiring peeling away from where it's taped to the wall, "while I go supervise… that."

He is, of course, referring to the R-4 unit trying to fix the antifreeze leak and not the immediate potential-death-causing busted paneling that will cause the ship to implode if they leave it and then crash into water. The antifreeze leak can wait. Really, it always waits-- he can't remember the last time he fixed it and it usually sorts itself out anyway.

He's about two steps into the actual so-called guts of the ship to get to it when he sees the merchant guy walk by and freeze upon locking eyes with him. Melli immediately feels like he needs to punch the guy hard enough that he forgets the sight of the Diamond Clan's most fabulous warden covered in dirt, oil, with a roll of tape around his wrist like a bracelet and his hair tied up in an embarrassingly bad ponytail that's probably also covered in assorted grime from assorted planets.

"Er, you," Volo begins, then takes a step back and puts the friendly smile back on his face. "My, my! Who would have known that the great warden Melli would allow himself to get so…"

He trails off when he sees the look on Melli's face.

"You didn't see a thing," Melli grumbles, tearing a piece off the tape and using it to stick some wiring back on the wall just to do something. "It wouldn't be like this if I had the time, but unfortunately, everyone else seems to think it's fine that I have to spend two hours showering after every single fight we get in because everything is so disorganized and broken down here."

"Didn't you help build it?"

"Of course I did! And I got the best parts! That's why the airlock never malfunctions and the life support is able to run even if most of the ship is compromised," Melli starts, gesturing frantically in a way that makes the tape bracelet feel like it's about to come off of his wrist if he gets any more animated. "The frame-- these parts-- were like this when we got them and built off of that. Now, if we ever took a nice long trip and did nothing I might be able to get this thing to a state where Lord Electrode and I don't need to make any modifications after every single battle."

Volo takes a step closer towards Melli. Melli refuses to look at him, instead turning back into the ship and leaning forward so he can shove his hands into the paneling (after rolling up his sleeves, of course) and pretend that there is nothing unsettling or wrong about this situation at all. Of course, if he were able to fix it all up, he wouldn't have anything to do, so he could just take care of Lord Electrode all the time instead of really helping out. But then…

"But wouldn't that make you useless?"

Melli jumps. The action is even more cringe than being caught dead looking like a starship zombie. The very good reason for the action is that by the sound of Volo's voice, he's way too close. Melli steps back a little forcefully and bumps Volo in the shoulder, knocking him back a little bit. Good. That was a trick he learned from a pirate on the Gyldamine system about how to get people out of your space.

"Yeah, it would," Melli says, and then chucks the tape at him. Volo barely catches it before it hits him in the face and has the gall to look offended. He opens his mouth. Melli cuts him off.

"Go take that to Adaman and tell him I need more time, and if he'd be so kind, I also need an Impe driver for the--" he gestures vaguely in a circle. "jargon. Just tell him that. Goodbye."

Volo leaves. Melli looks back at the wall, then at the R-4 just in time to see its recorder light fade. Now, he'd never admit the Pearl Clan knows how to make droids, or repair starships, or anything of the sort, but this one is… secondhand. So its original owner definitely had good taste if it can make a droid that knows what's up and records it just for future purposes.

"Weird guy, huh?" Melli mutters, crouching down to get on its eye level. "Now, listen. I just remembered something. Does Irida have any long-range comm add-ons for you?"

The R-4 beeps out something that sounds like a no, and then spits out a small card with six digits on it. One of Lord Electrode's channel access disks. Why does it have that? Lord Electrode only gives the comm channel access disks to people it trusts. Never droids. Never newer droids, at least. Older ones, or those overhauled by the Builder Forge it seems to trust because they're either ancient or unbreakable. But an R-4 unit?

"You're weird too," Melli tells the droid, picking the card up from the floor. He tilts it. This is not, in fact, one of Lord Electrode's channel access disks. Which is weird, because it's for Diamond Clan comm channels and none of the Pearl Clan producers have access to said comm channels. Definitely not one as private as this. Melli ponders that for a moment, then stands up.

"Never mind, change of course," he says, resigning himself to a fate where he has to explain why an outgoing transmission from a Diamond Clan droid bounced off of Pearl Clan channels. "Lord Electrode. Get a transmission to Warden Ingo. Tell him… tell him that he needs to stay where he is or I will stun him next time I see him."

Lord Electrode beeps in concern.

"No, I'm not feeling like myself," Melli snaps, then sighs. He hates being open, even around droids. Sometimes even around his droid.

"I don't think that the malfunctions are going to happen to you. But I do think they're going to happen to his one. And I'm willing to be embarrassed if it means regular people don't die. As awesomely indifferent as I'd like to be, I'm pretty convinced that SNS1 of his will go off on whatever planetary system it happens to grace with its presence."

Lord Electrode beeps in even more concern. Melli sighs. "I know I can control you," he says, "and it's not like you'd do any harm. You pack a punch, but I'm sure you could remain in control. Right?"

Lord Electrode does not respond.

--

As Irida expected, it is Lord Electrode that goes crazy the second they land in the Highlands on Coronet-I. The area is sacred to both clans, extremely dangerous, it's where they picked Melli up from, where they are heading to go get Ingo, and the grenade launcher is a serious problem because it's not like those are things you can deflect with lightsabers. Rei almost tried. Rei is currently running around the landing port trying to calm down the wild animals responding and stop other small helper droids they have at the port from going off too.

"MELLI!" Irida nearly shrieks, uncharacteristically frazzled-ly, but then again this is the second time she's almost died today so it's completely fair in her mind. "I can't believe you took that thing on board with you when I told you not to!"

"I don't follow orders from the Pearl Clan," Melli responds snootily, tossing his hair back as something explodes behind him. "Besides, he- he's harmless! He's not going to hurt anyone."

"Your frickin' droid almost blew me up!" Rei yells, sliding over to the two of them with the trashed and mangled remains of something in his hand that might be shrapnel or a piece of Lord Electrode. Irida feels a bit of smug satisfaction at the way Melli's eye twitches when he sees the metal in Rei's hand.

"What does that word mean," Melli asks, "is this some of your weird planetary slang."

"This is so not the time!" Rei exclaims. "Come on, don't you have anything it likes? To calm it down with?"

"Well, unlike your freaky animals, Lord Electrode doesn't really eat." the warden tells Rei as smoothly as possible for someone who's standing in the middle of a very violent and animated battlefield. "So I guess salt would be the closest thing you could get to knocking it out long enough to get in its circuits."

"Where do we find salt?" Irida asks, and when Melli shrugs, she takes out her blaster and begins the charge. "Warden Melli, where do we find salt?"

current droids active during the story: 

im-sp. made with parts from scrapped arakyd droids. (garchomp.) dcd-373. made with parts from scrapped arakyd droids + cortosis armor plates. (hisuian decidueye.) resistant to lightsaber strikes and blasters

ip-sp. made with parts from scrapped arakyd droids as well as parts from the lin demolitionmech. has two flamethrowers and an array of blaster canons on its back. (hisuian typhlosion.)

r-4: standard r-4 unit, brought secondhand and modified to be a good repair worker and more of a friend than a servant. (glaceon)

colicoid annihilator: repainted red and white by rei. droideka with a vengeance and a new brain that only makes it slightly less savage. (hisuian zoroark)

lord electrode: giant rolling ball. think bb8 but with no head. the two "eyes" are actually a photoreceptor array capable of seeing in different types of light and yes the grenade launcher is the little mini voltorbs it fires at you during the boss fight I thought it'd be really funny to have the meanest fashionista like explosions even though he hates getting dirty.

melli might seem a little ooc but personally I think he really does care for the diamond clan. he helps out because without him they'll die. and he's much more open to droids because he finds them more trustworthy than humans when in fact its technically the opposite (since lord electrode does go like. insane. the second they drop onto the coronet system)

and out of all the like different factions he's always suspicious of volo because he thinks merchants are always trying to get you to buy something so he's more perceptive towards volos . sneakiness. and then Doesn't Say Anything because he figures that's rei's problem and doesn't want to deal with it (he's still a little bit of a jerk)

the highlands/icelands/fieldlands are all parts of different planets because I thought it was really funny how separate each one is and wanted to lean into the fact that star wars so often has singular biome planets. mount coronet is the tallest mountain on the weird moon right next to an uninhabitable planet and they call the only charted area the highlands. wouldn't that be funny. hey they've got an ice planet even more remote than hoth and you'll never guess why they start calling it the alabaster icelands: its a moon actually of a planet rich in you guessed it. alabaster

when I say this is how things work in star wars I'm not even kidding

I think it would be really neat if the galaxy team were like the rebels. who could not afford to have any traitors in their midst. and rei is an amnesiac right? a force-sensitive amnesiac. but all force-sensitives have been snapped up by the empire and the only reason adaman is alive is because akari (she's a sith) screwed up his training on purpose and tossed him out so she could remain in power and irida's force sensitive but she can hide it really well. so why is he there if he's not there to infiltrate them ---> kamados line of thought

wardens are force sensitive but not enough to really do anything special besides help out a lot even though it doesn't actually do much (though melli occasionally dips into researching the sith art of mechu-deru because he's interested in droid stuff and it makes droids. but if you call him out on it it becomes a "well why were YOU at the devils sacrament" situation and a huge problem because hes an asshole by heart) with adaman and irida being the strongest in the force. adaman in particular is good at dodging (can sense things before they happen because time) and irida is best at force grip/pull/push because space

Sabi helps out with piloting because she's really clever

I know I haven't said a lot about the Pearl Clan but they have a whole fleet of like "rehomed" vehicles painted pearl clan + personal colors. Lian has a TIE fighter, Irida has an old version of the Naboo fighters Anakin blew up the control center with in The Phantom Menace (i can usually remember their names better…) i don't have them as fleshed out as much mostly because I didn't find many of the members as remarkable as the diamond clan ones except for ingo and irida….

@emmetrain

Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion. [Accepting]

"Well, if you don't open for crossovers with other franchises it means your blog/muse is doomed."

Idk who started this assinine logic, bc I genuinely hate it. While crossover RPs can be fun, and even coming up with verses for other franchises has its entertaining value... Not everyone is on the same boat, in that regard.

I've had in the past crossover verses for many of my muses, and to me it didn't come close to matching the feeling I get, from writing a muse in their series. (e.g.: Pokemon AUs for my non pokemon muses were very short-lived, compared to my actual pokemon muses).

Crossovers aren't exactly my forte. An AU for another franchise can basically kill, SO many of my muses. Bc they lose their essences in the process (you tell me how a Star wars muse could possibly translate well into the pokemon world, without watering them down to the EXTREME). At that point, I may as well just make an OC and use them as FCs (case in point: my PLA OC Matsuba using Virgo Shaka from Saint Seiya, as his FC. Brendan's adult FC. And in the past, I used to have Arceus and Dialga muses, that had YGO FCs). I'm very picky with crossovers, there have been only a few crossover interactions that I feel like I had fun with (Castlevania x Vampire Hunter D).

I hate the notion that you must be always open for crossovers, when you have lesser popular/known characters (coughs in the English/American side of tumblr at least coughs Saint Seiya is well known amongst latinos coughs), otherwise you're basically on your own. Crossover interactions will NEVER be a replacement, for writing with other canon characters from the series they are from. With that said, I'm not shaming and even less judging. I just really hate this weird pressure the RPC tries to cast upon lesser popular/trending things.

You guys may as well rub salt on the wound.
