Chapter 4: A New Sith comes, and Konoha suffers another invasion…
Rannock Stormwind was sitting aboard his Fury class Interceptor starship the Revenger when his master Darth Baras came in on the holoterminal.
"Ah yes my apprentice I have an assignment for you," Baras announced, like his apprentice should be thrilled.
"Great which corner of the galaxy you sending me to now," Rannock groaned, and in the background Vette snickered into her hand, Jaesa smiled, and Cpt. Malavai Quinn glared slightly.
"I am sending you to a planet in the farthest parts of the Unknown Regions," Baras answered, as if the snide remark had never happened, "When you get to the planet you are to investigate for any resources or people that could be of use to the Empire."
"Alright," Rannock stated before Baras cut the communication, he then turned to his three man crew and looked at them with his command face, "alright people to your stations."
Nodding Vette and Quinn went to the cockpit of the star ship and manned the controls; Jaesa just went to the cargo hold and began to meditate. Groaning Rannock went to his bed and sat down with a sigh. Now if anyone where to ask him how much he liked his ship he'd say it was the perfect vessel for destroying his master's enemies. However if he was to be completely honest he'd say he hated the ship because it constantly brought him restless nights, often plagued with nightmares. Another thing he would confess if asked about his past is that he couldn't remember anything before the Sith Academy on Dromund Kaas, hell when he woke up there he couldn't even remember his own name. Looking at himself in a mirror he saw his face with a cross shaped scar from a training accident, the tattoo that was almost branded into his skin upon his graduation from the Academy, his Dread Sith Combatant Chest plate clearly had patches from all the fights, the same went for his Bladestorm Greaves, his Dread Sith Combatant boots, and his Dread Sith Marauder boots. He actually eye himself in the mirror and saw that his eyes were starting to get a ring of blue around the iris, in contrast to the amber color, a side effect of the choices he made and his dark auburn hair swept up to a point and he had sideburns. Sighing he saw his Alderan High Frequency Vibrosword and his Dread Marauder Offhand Lightsaber resting nearby, picking them up he decided to go over his Juyo form, for perhaps the two hundredth time.
Meanwhile with Vette…
Vette had long since done her job at the controls, I mean after all how much work did she have to do to be co-pilot, and then out of seemingly nowhere thoughts of Rannock Stormwind, apprentice to Darth Baras, began to swim through her mind. The first time she had seen him in combat was when they went through the tomb of Naga Sadow, and how he disposed of his rival Vemrin like he was nothing, then we he singlehandedly stopped Lord Baratheon's rebellion, and when he almost singlehandedly crushed the Balmorran Resistance, and then again when he took on Lord Rathari and Agent Delacon in combat, however he spared Rathari and had even let the Republic Troopers, who had probably been seconds from blasting him, go. Then when he fought Jedi Master Nomen Karr, who had fallen to the Dark Side and had become a corrupted version of himself, he once again spared him, though the fight had left Nomen Karr powerless.
However the memories that stuck out the most were the little conversations they had, where they would swap stories about their pasts, she had told him so far that she had been a slave since she was a girl, how she ended up with Nok Drayen's pirate gang, and finally how she ended up on Korriban. Sighing she remembered how she would feel a little jealous when he started flirting with other women, such as Darth Lachres, and how her heart would jump whenever he would give her a gift or would flirt with her.
'Stop thinking like that Ce'na,' Vette thought to herself, 'he's got Jaesa now, what would he ever want with you.'
"Thinking about him again are we," Quinn asked, without looking up from the console.
"What makes you think I was thinking of anyone," Vette asked, with a little bit of embarrassment creeping into her voice.
"You always start blushing and then get a depressed look on your face whenever you think of him," Quinn stated simply.
"Yeah," Vette replied, looking down at the console in front of her.
"Then tell him how you feel," Quinn stated, as if it was completely obvious. Sighing Vette just stored that away in the "DO NOT DO ANYTIME SOON" corner of her mind.
On Sigma Oceanus IV…
The village was under siege, remnants of the Akatsuki and the remnants of Otogakure, had gathered together to lead one last assault against Konoha, and so far it had been damned effective. Cut off from supplies and potential reinforcements they had no choice but to trust the four strangers, which some of the of the citizens had come to call the Guardians of the Four Gates, in helping bat away some of the deadly offensives that the coalition of Akatsuki and Otogakure had attempted, though everyone knew it was a matter of time before they took Konoha if reinforcements didn't arrive. Sighing Tsunade went over the new reports on the current situation, needless to say even with her unrivaled healing abilities, Naruto's unparalled combat prowess, and the Four Guardians, things were looking bleak for Konoha, especially since this siege came right on the heels of the Sith invasion.
"Lady Tsunade," Shizune shouted, running like a bat out of hell was chasing her.
"What is it Shizune," Tsunade asked, with a hint of weariness edging into her voice slowly, but surely.
"You have to see this," Shizune stated, before using the Third Hokage's viewing globe.
What Tsunade saw was nothing short of impressive, one man, and some unknown humanoid, were marching through the invaders encampment and killing them off as if this was some walk in the park for them. Then the viewing globe changed to some mechanical monstrosity blasting away the enemy forces like it was at some kind of turkey shoot.
"Most impressive," Tsunade commented. However all that changed when Lieutenant Ironeye stepped out of the gate to help the machine, the mechanical beast stopped shooting at the enemy and started shooting at him. Judging from the look on his face the Lieutenant and his companion hadn't been expecting it either, because they stood in shock and only after taking a few beams of light off their shields did they move for cover.
With Lieutenant Ironeye…
Whatever they did to piss this droid off sure must have been big, because no sooner had they walked out Konoha's east gate did the droid turn, look at them, and shout "Imperial Scum". Needless to say he and Aric Jorgan were so stunned by the droid's actions that the droid got in a few shots before they dived for cover behind some fallen trees, for all the good it was doing them. Lieutenant Ironeye had Jorgan release a Volley of Blaster Bolts while he let loose with barrage of grenades, which didn't even look like they were slowing the droid down.
"Damn," the Lieutenant cursed, as he checked the current situation and the current supply of ammo, things were not looking too good.
"Sir I'm almost out," Jorgan shouted, just before his assault cannon clicked, Jorgan let out an almost inaudible curse before loading up one of his last clips.
"Same here," Ironeye shouted, as he pulled out a thermal detonator and tossed it at the droid. The surrounding enemies had been decimated earlier on by a combination of the hail of blaster fire both parties had sent at each other and the grenades that had been lobbed at the droid.
"Sir if you got a miracle now would be a good time to use it," Aric Jorgan shouted, the hint of desperation not going unnoticed.
"Did somebody call for a miracle," asked a familiar, and at this point welcomed, voice. Taking a brief pause from the fighting both Ironeye and Jorgan turned and saw Naruto, with Lorna Durand and Satele Shan standing right beside him.
"Yeah this droid is being a real pain the ass," the Lieutenant answered, which caused Naruto to smirk.
"Keep me covered," Naruto ordered, to which everyone just gave a small nod. Closing his eyes as the others fought, Naruto blocked out everything till he felt a surge of power, which manifested itself as his Jinchuriki cloak, he then gather both positive and negative chakra to charge up for the Tailed Beast Ball.
"Guys I suggest you get out of the way," Naruto shouted, causing everyone to look back. When both Jedi felt Naruto's new form with the force all the could feel surrounding him was a vast amount of anger and hatred. Doing as he said they quickly moved out the way as Naruto unleashed one of his most devastating techniques. Once he was sure everyone was out of the way he fired the Tailed Beast Ball, which not only tore down the droid's shields with ruthless efficiency, completely destroyed the droid and the landscape for a half-mile behind him. With that Naruto collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, while Lieutenant Ironeye and Aric Jorgan picked up what was left of the droid.
Three days later…
Naruto awoke from his deep slumber to find Jedi Grand Master Satele Shan sitting in a chair next to his bed, with her lightsaber well within arm's reach. Looking at the foot of his bed he saw Lieutenant Ironeye standing guard outside the door, Lorna passed out on the floor and the strange new warrior nowhere to be seen. Quietly removing the tubes in his arms and putting his clothes on Naruto jumped out the window and headed to the nearest training ground.
About an hour later…
Satele had just woken to find Naruto nowhere to be found, sighing Satele tapped Lieutenant Ironeye on the shoulder and showed him the near empty room.
"Shit," the Lieutenant cursed and began looking for any clues as to where, it was at this moment Tsunade walked in and sighed.
"If he's not here then he's at the training grounds," Tsunade explained as she pinched the bridge of her nose between her thumb and forefinger.
"Where are those located at," Satele asked calmly.
"I'll take you there," Tsunade told them. Nodding calmly the group of four followed Tsunade to find out where Naruto was.
Meanwhile onboard a starship in the Outer Rim…
The Mandalorian was busy tracking down a person wanted by the Hutts for unpaid gambling fees, the lows she had sunken to, when a message came in over her holoterminal.
"Greeting old friend," greeted a voice that sounded somewhat grave through a breath mask.
"Greetings Darth Malgus," the Mandalorian replied, "what is it you want this time."
"I have another job for you," Malgus stated, "if you accept your payment will be most generous."
"What Jedi you want me to kill now," the Mandalorian asked, these kinds of calls becoming almost routine for her.
"I do not want you to kill a Jedi," Malgus stated, "this time I want you to track and report the movements of one Jedi Grand Master Satele Shan to me."
Sneering the Mandalorian was about to retort at how wasted her skills were at something like that when she could just as easily kill the Jedi off, when Malgus stopped her train of thought with the next sentence.
"She is bringing something valuable off a unknown world," Malgus stated, "I want you to tail her, find out what it is, what it is can used for, and then bring it to me."
Nodding with sigh the Mandalorian headed to Coruscant, the Capital of the Republic, to await the return of Satele Shan. Once the ship was hit light speed and was set to autopilot, The Mandalorian went to her stash of fake ID's and picked one almost at random.
"Jade Starlight," The Mandalorian recited from the ID, "Birthplace: Alderaan, Date of Birth: 19 Sept 2662 Galactic Standard Time."
Well hope you people like this new chapter.
Is not my best work ik but it'll have to do for now.
Also if you people would like to submit your Old Republic characters feel free.
BTW: Pairings I have in mind are: Trooper x Wraith, Naruto x Shae Vizla (AKA the Mandalorian) or Satele Shan or Lorna Durand or the mysterious Twi'lek that's after him and SW x Vette.
Till next time…
-is sitting on a throne next to Chewie-
CROSS OVER TO THE DARK SIDE!
