AN: Another idea coming at ya! I'm back, kiddies, and this time, with a completely different crossover idea that I've been mulling over for quite some time now. Originally, this crossover was going to be with the Prequel films and would extend through the Originals and Episode VII, but then I just spontaneously decided to have this go through KotOR and KotOR II, then work from there. Hopefully, you all enjoy this one, as I had fun writing this one, as its combining two of my most favorite series ever. As always, kiddies, no flames, please!

Chapter 1: The Wrath of the Gods
One good thing about being assigned your personal Centurion-class battlecruiser was, beyond the obvious martial advantage over almost every other ship of its class, was the spacious, ballroom-like bridge… at least, that's how Jedi Knight Meetra Surik felt as she silently meditated, her crew and officers knowing better than to interrupt a meditating Jedi unless something was really important.
Clad in the traditional brown and tan garbs of the Jedi, she sat cross-legged upon the metal floor with her hands resting upon each of her knees, her eyes closed, obscuring her natural blue eyes from view, her short brown hair ending just at the nape of her neck and a serene expression upon her face as she slowly breathed in and out, feeling the living Force surround her. Apparently, she radiated an aura of calm, as she would momentarily zone back into her capital ship, the Vanguard, and sense that the officers currently stationed in the bridge with her had a serene feel about them, which only made her break the smallest of smiles.
She and her fleet were currently engaged in hyperspace, heading back to the front after repairing and rearming at Coruscant, with their destination being Jaga's Cluster, as there were reports of a large Mandalorian force gathering for an attack.
Another smile creaked its way into formation as she once again felt the still calm of the bridge wash over her once again… only for the feeling to be halted when she felt a ripple in the Force… a ripple which soon turned into an aberrance, and an aberrance which soon turned into an echo. Biting down onto her lower lip as she strained to follow the echo back to its source, the Force only gave Meetra a fleeting glimpse of an unknown planet in an unknown sector of the galaxy.
"Get me a connection to Revan, immediately!" Her silky smooth voice barked out into the silence of the bridge before she could even stop herself. Blue eyes shone with worry as she stood from her meditative stance and over to her communications officer's terminal.
"While we're in hyperspace, General?" The comms officer asked, uncertain.
"Alert the fleet. Emergency stop." She ordered. "Then connect me to Revan. Flag transmission as urgent."
Within moments, her crew did as she ordered, with the Vanguard and its support fleet of four Hammerhead-class cruisers, two Interdictor-class cruisers, and six Foray-class frigates dropped out of hyperspace, guard positions already taken up as the Vanguard and her crew went to work establishing a link to their supreme commander.
"Link established, General." The comms officer reported in after a few minutes of waiting.
"Good." Meetra sighed. "Connect me."
"Meetra." Came the voice of Revan himself over the comm. "Your transmission was flagged as urgent."
"Possibly more so than you believe." Meetra replied, brushing a hand through her brown locks. "Not long ago, I sensed an… echo in the Force. A strong one. I tried to follow it back to its source, but the only thing the Force showed me was a planet that I'm unfamiliar with."
"And your feelings tell you that there's a powerful Force Sensitive on that planet?" Revan asked, his voice conveying veiled interest, but interest nonetheless.
"Possibly one who's just now discovering their powerful connection to the Force. Revan, I know we defied the Council to fight this war, but my feelings are telling me that this is something that we must not ignore."
"You want to investigate this echo personally." Revan reasoned. "You want my permission to break from your current heading to follow this echo to this unknown planet…" Even though it was just a transmission, Meetra could all but feel Revan smiling now. "Without letting the Council know of a powerful Force Sensitive who's evaded their notice?"
"You know me so well." Meetra chuckled.
"How can I say no to this? Go and investigate this, Meetra. Alek and I will personally oversee Jaga's Cluster while you are to go and bring us another possible Jedi to fight in this damned war."
"Yes, sir." Meetra nodded.
"Good hunting, Meetra. Revan out."
"We have a new heading!" Meetra called out to her crew.
"Location, ma'am?" The navigations officer asked.
"Into the Unknown Regions. Our new task is to locate a wayward planet and claim it for the Republic. Commander Revan believes this planet could be of strategic value to us during this war, as it's been previously unexplored. The Mandalorians don't know about it, which means we could establish our presence there with no reprisal. A hidden base, as it were." She hated lying to her crew, but when it came to Jedi business, it was better to err on the side of caution. Besides, she wasn't technically lying, since she was going to establish a presence there anyway.
"Any specific location within the Unknown Regions, ma'am?" The navigations officer once again asked, this time after a hesitation.
"Past Ilum. After that, we'll have to rely on the Force."
"Setting course for Ilum and transmitting vectors to the rest of the fleet." The comms officer declared as he went to work on his terminal.
"Calculating jump to lightspeed." The navigator reported.
"Vectors set and calculations made, General." Meetra's lieutenant reported in. "On your order."
"Let's go." Meetra ordered, and on her word, the entirety of her fleet jumped back into hyperspace, on course for Ilum and beyond.
(Elemental Nations: Same time)
"N-Naruto…?" Questioned one Sakura Haruno after a hesitation. She had just seen the impossible… a Jinchuuriki had survived the extraction of their Bijuu.
When Madara had taken all of the Bijuu back into the Gedo Mazo (Gedo Statue), she was sure that Naruto would die, but upon Kurama being extracted, all Naruto did was stand there for a good ten seconds before zoning back into the fight. She had no idea what was keeping him alive, and she didn't really care at this point, because he was still alive and fighting, which was good enough for her.
"Sakura-chan!" He called out to her.
"H-Hai?!"
"Take care of our wounded! I'm going after Madara!"
"N-Naruto!"
It was too late. He had rushed off, headlong into danger, like he always did. He couldn't explain it, but he was feeling utterly alive. More alive than he had ever felt before. All of his senses had been lit up, he could hear things, see things, feel things, all better than he could before, everything was heightened and with this new feeling was mingled serenity. He was totally at peace with himself; he had an unshakable inner calm that he also couldn't explain… all he knew was that he was unbreakable now, and that Madara would pay for his crimes.
"You foolish child!" Cackled Madara as he stood atop the head of the Gedo Mazo. "Do you not know when your end has come?!"
"Keep talking, old man!" Naruto challenged with a smirk as he stood fearlessly against the now transforming statue in front of him. "Run that mouth straight into the ground, because that's where I'm planting you!" His already stunning blue eyes began glowing now. "For good this time!"
'Go.' He heard an invisible voice pushing him onwards. This voice seemed to be emanating from deep inside his very being, and he didn't know why, but he heeded the voice.
He shot forward once again and planted himself onto the surface of the statue, noticing that he had just dodged an errant tree root that had erupted from where he had been previously standing. The voice was egging him onwards and still, he heeded it, traversing the height of the gargantuan monster in only a few seconds before hopping onto the head to engage the elder Uchiha personally.
"How did you survive the extraction, Uzumaki?" Madara queried. "Is your Uzumaki blood that strong?"
"I don't know, and I don't care!" Naruto glared at the man in front of him. "All I know is I've been given a second chance, and I'll make good on it!"
"Confidence borne of ignorance!" Madara declared, his one Rinnegan glowing ominously. "You will fall once again! No matter how many times you get back up, I shall just strike you down again and again!"
"Then come at me, bitch!" Naruto snarled as the blue glow in his eyes intensified.
Everything was moving in slow motion for him. That strange feeling of peace overcame him once again and begged him to surrender to its embrace. Slowly, he let his mind go numb with the feeling, he wasn't quite sure what was happening, but Madara could not touch him. Every punch, every kick, every Jutsu, all either missed or were intercepted by the now stoic blonde Uzumaki in front of him, whose defense was absolutely flawless. Madara had never seen anything quite like what the Uzumaki was showing off, not even Hashirama's defense was that perfect.
Left stunned by how utterly useless his advances were, Madara left himself quite open for attack, and Naruto took full advantage. Spinning a kunai out of his remaining pouch, he quickly closed in and plunged the weapon deep into the Uchiha's gut and wrenched the knife one good time, ignoring the blood now pouring from both the wound and Madara's mouth as he coughed up a glob of blood, then withdrew the knife, flipped it around to a reverse grip and stabbed once again… this time for the Uchiha's Rinnegan.
As the elder Uchiha screamed out in agony, Naruto withdrew his bloody kunai from the man's eye socket and leveled it at his throat. "Your fate is not for me to decide." He growled at the broken man. "Your war is over, teme (bastard). I win." And with that declaration, he flipped the kunai around into a proper stance and hit the man square in the forehead with the loop, knocking him out cold.
That was one problem taken care of… but the bigger problem, Naruto was now standing on top of. The Gedo Mazo was just about to transform into the Juubi once again, and he had not the slightest idea of how to destroy it.
That was when something very, very strange happened. A large, dark gray triangular object appeared in the moonlit skies, blotting out the moon itself as it maneuvered into position, followed by slightly smaller floating objects. Those with the strange heads pointed themselves downwards, toward the Juubi, the smaller triangular objects took positions flanking the larger triangle and the other smaller floating objects in the sky took up positions around the ones with the strange heads.
As Naruto looked on in wonder, all hell broke loose. Red and green then rained down from the sky as the large and smaller triangles, along with the weird-looking head things and the smaller objects all began spitting colored fire down upon the Juubi in what he thought to be an assault from the Gods themselves. He very quickly collected the knocked out Madara and beat a hasty retreat back to the redrawn front lines that had been established shortly before the sky beasts began raining fire down upon the Gedo Mazo.
"What the hell are those things?" Asked Kiba as Naruto unceremoniously dropped Madara to the ground.
"Whatever these sky beasts are, they've saved us." Ino reasoned.
"Could the Gods have saved us?" Asked one Konoha Chuunin.
"Strange things are floating in the sky and are spitting out colored fire onto a thing that claimed to be a god!" An Iwa Jounin offered. "Of course the Gods would take offense to that!"
"The Gods can go shove it." A newly revived Sasuke scoffed. "I pray to no god, I bend the knee to no man or woman."
"Sasuke!" Tenten stepped up and admonished him. "Don't blaspheme in the presence of the Gods!"
"These things aren't Gods." Naruto shook his head as his new powers began to focus onto the larger triangle. "I can… sense something within the larger beast."
"What is it, Naruto?" Sakura asked as those within earshot now looked to him out of curiosity.
"I don't know." He fought for the right words. "There's… something calling out to me. I can't explain it."
"Look!" Lee called out. "Something's exiting the large triangle!"
Sure enough, dozens upon dozens of tiny dots were flying out of the belly of the beast, followed by more dots exiting the strange-headed beasts and the smaller triangular beasts. Some broke off to continue raining their fire upon what remained of the Gedo Mazo while the bulk of the dots swooped low and screamed across the landscape in a regular pattern, as if they were protecting something. These dots were revealed to be smaller beasts that also seemed to be able to fly like their bigger counterparts, and what they were protecting soon came into view.
What could only be described as a sky shark soon flew into view and began hovering a few meters off from the frontlines until it turned to its dorsal fin was facing them and slowly lowered itself to the ground where its backside seemed to open up. Everyone readied their weapons at the same time just as two, for lack of a better term, humans came walking out dressed in strange metallic red, yellow and black armor and stood guard flanking the sky shark's open backside.
As if on cue, an absolutely stunning woman walked out of the sky shark, her boots rapping gently against the apparent metal of the shark and her simple brown cloak fluttering gently against the cool night air of the battlefield. The instant she appeared, an aura of calm seemed to envelop the entire Alliance in a tidal wave. Weapons were lowered, held breaths were exhaled and a collective sigh of relief was heard throughout the battlefield.
Her beautiful blue eyes scanned the frontlines with a gentle edge to them; she was evidently searching for someone. When her eyes landed on the orange mess that was Naruto, her previously calm demeanor was replaced by a stunningly beautiful smile that left most of the male – and some female – Alliance soldiers blushing, including Naruto himself, as her attention was focused solely on him.
He could then feel something probing his mind. It wasn't invasive or intrusive, but still strange as after a mere few moments, the probing stopped and the woman opened her mouth to speak.
"We mean you all no harm whatsoever." She spoke in perfect Japanese. "We come in peace, and as a gesture of goodwill, we have destroyed the beast you all were fighting against just now."
"How can we trust you?!" Sasuke was the one who issued the challenge. "You've done nothing but kill a beast that was already dead, it just didn't know it!"
"I sense great darkness within you, boy." The woman's critical gaze now fell onto the last Uchiha, and it was piercing. "Darkness, untapped potential and a lot of hatred." Her blue eyes then became cold. "You would be wise to watch yourself around me."
"Sasuke!" Sakura called out to him just as he snarled and charged the mysterious woman.
"Sleep." The woman commanded, and with but a wave of her hand, Sasuke immediately halted his charge and came to a sliding halt on the ground in front of her… fast asleep.
As the woman approached the sleeping Uchiha, Sakura dashed in-between them and crouched down in front of Sasuke, one hand holding a kunai and another checking for a pulse.
"What did you do to him, witch?!" The pinkette demanded.
"Check him." The woman calmly replied. "He's just sleeping, I have not harmed him, though I very easily could have."
"Calm down, Sakura." Naruto spoke up and a few eyebrows were raised at the absence of the usual honorific he attached to her name. "She won't hurt us; I can sense that she's telling the truth."
"What is your name?" Tsunade asked as she stepped forward and took control of the situation. "And why are you here?"
"My name is Meetra Surik." The now identified Meetra introduced herself with a bow. "And I am here… for you." She then pointed to Naruto.
Huh. Well, he certainly wasn't expecting probably the most beautiful woman he's ever seen to be there solely for him. That was definitely a first on his long lists of firsts. Again, he could tell that she was telling the truth, he could sense no deception from her, and that was without having to use Sage Mode. But why was she there for him? Where did she come from?
Oh, he had tons of questions for her, and he could tell that things were about to become a lot more interesting from here on out. But step one? Getting rid of the growing tent in his pants from just glancing her way.
AN: Done! Hopefully you guys can forgive this new idea, but that seems to be my trend right now. It won't detract from the other stories that are higher on my priority list; I just wanted to get this one out here to see how you guys liked it. So, thoughts? Opinions?
Gonna be honest here, I haven't thought of a solid pairing for Naruto for this one. On one hand, we have Meetra, but on the other, we have Bastila. Both are gnawing away at me rather viciously, while at the same time, we have the female companions from both games (sans Juhani) and possibly the Ice Queen herself, Atris. I can't make up my mind here, dammit! What do you guys think? Meetra? Bastila? Hell, maybe even Mission or Brianna? Opinions would be greatly valued! Give me good, solid reasons for or against your choice!
