Chapter 10: A Fallen Jedi Returns
It had been only one year since Naruto had been promoted to a Jedi Knight and so far he had only been sent on short-term missions where he had to settle peace agreements between different people. Naruto however didn't mind this since the faster he finished these missions it meant the faster he would be able to get back to Padme which was who he was with now in their apartment only it was to be interrupted by someone or something.
"Padme you have to breathe" instructed Naruto who was on the side opposite to her dodging her punches and kicks. Naruto had promised to teach her hand-to-hand combat and he had to say Padme had come a long way. "You can do this get back up" Naruto encouraged Padme who had just fallen to the floor and was on her knees and was now trying to get back to her feet.
"Naruto we've been at this for hours can I please take a break," Padme begged as she finally got to her feet.
"Not until you make manage to land a punch on my face" Naruto teased as he patted the side of his cheek.
This managed to get a little bit of a rise out of Padme who brought up her fists and began throwing punches at Naruto but to no avail since he would just dodge them at the last possible second making her only try harder but no matter how hard she tried she received the same result. "Ah I've had it!" Padme shouted as stepped back panting "This shirt is getting in the way!" Padme said frustrated as she took off her white shirt and threw it at Naruto who was at the moment distracted by this unexpected display. So when she punched him in the face through the shirt well Naruto had bloody nose but it wasn't from the punch he had received.
"That was a cheap shot" Naruto declared as he quickly cleaned the blood that had come out of his nose.
"Yeah well you promised we would take a break so that's what we're going to do!" exclaimed Padme who was just happy that she got her break even if she had used unfair means to get her punch.
"Fine but next time please refrain from distracting me with your body it is very uh how do I say it" Naruto said as he sat down on the couch in the living room not noticing Padme sneak up behind him only now though she was no longer wearing her pants.
"It's very what Naruto?" Padme asked as she came from behind him and quickly sat on his lap "Come on you just came back from your last mission let's celebrate." Padme whispered into his ear.
"I don't see why not…" but that was all Naruto said before he grabbed Padme and moved her to the side and got up from his seat so that he could look outside to the Jedi Temple.
"Naruto is everything okay?" Padme asked with concern when she saw Naruto's face.
"No, something's wrong… I sense a…. disturbance in the Force it's like something that shouldn't be there but it is?" was all Naruto said before a beeping sound came out of his comm link that was in his pocket. Turning it on he heard the voice of Mace Windu come through.
"Naruto Council now." Was all Mace said before the communication was cut off.
"I should…I should go it sounded urgent" Naruto said hating himself as he took one last look at Padme before he turned to leave but was stopped when Padme grabbed his hand making him turn back to her.
"Naruto I don't know what's going on but promise me you'll be safe I have a bad feeling about this like…why do they need you there are plenty of other Jedi?" Padme told him as she let go of his hand and looked at him wanting to at least know he would be careful.
"Hey now what's with the worry nothing going to happen and if you worry that just makes me worry so please don't worry and let me see that beautiful smile before I go take care of this problem okay" Naruto said and then gave her a quick kiss on the lips and was happy to see a smile on her face before he walked to the balcony and stood on the railing of the balcony. "By the way the reason they need me is because…there is just no one like me!" was the last thing Padme heard from him before he jumped off.
XXXXX Jedi Council Room
Naruto was currently standing in front of the Jedi Masters who were more serious than usual "Masters what is going on…does it have anything to do with the disturbance in the Force I felt earlier?" Naruto asked hoping to get an answer since it seemed as though that feeling had only gotten worse.
"Yes it does" Mace said as he sat forward in his chair and sighed "We felt the disturbance as well and we believe that it originated from the planet known as Yavin 4. Not only do we believe this but we also have reason to believe that an old Sith has come back"
"Exar Kun was once a Jedi Knight like you but he fell to the dark side. We thought only his spirit remained but that would apparently not be the case" Ki Adi Mundi said with a certain level of uneasiness in his voice about this whole situation.
"We have decided that we will send you to deal with this returning Sith and if you want you can have others accompany you" Said Aayla Secura who didn't quite agree with this decision on leaving this choice to a Jedi Knight even if he had the chance of being the Chosen One.
"But beware Exar Kun is very strong in the dark side and it can tempt even the strongest" Shaak Ti reminded the young Jedi who's eyes were closed and was now thinking on his decision.
'On one hand I could possibly use the help but on the other hand like Shaak Ti said the Dark Side can tempt whoever I bring with me only making this Exar Kun stronger.' Naruto thought before he opened his eyes making his decision "I have decided…I will not be taking anyone with me. I will deal with this Sith Lord myself and I will see to it that he is thoroughly defeated this time."
"Meditate you should before you battle this enemy help you it may" Yoda said giving some last minute advice to his former apprentice.
"Yes Master"
XXXXX Leaving Atmosphere of Coruscant
Naruto was sitting in his Starfighter when he decided that it would be a good idea if he set it on auto pilot while he meditated so he could save time so after he put in the coordinates he let the ship take full control while he thought about what was ahead. Naruto while he was meditating was confident that he could take on the Sith Lord in his current state but his mind kept drifting to that day when he saved Padme and he felt an incredible amount of strength in that fight.
Naruto couldn't remember much since it all felt like a blur at the time but he was sure that he was different at the time like he was stronger and nothing could stop him however the only thing Naruto was concentrating on was saving Padme so Naruto had no idea how to call on that strength again.
'Even if that strength is out of my reach for now I must defeat this Sith Lord the way I am right now or he could hurt so many innocent people' Naruto thought as he came out of his meditation to find that he had reached Yavin 4 and were nearing the temple where Exar Kun was supposed to have been sealed. Once they landed somewhat farther away from the temple because Naruto wanted to be cautious he began his path toward the temple ready to put an end to the Fallen Jedi that had come back.
When he reached the temple Naruto saw republic soldiers fighting a losing battle against a multitude of red creatures that were beginning to overwhelm them. Rushing over there Naruto ignited his green lightsaber and began taking out the red creatures from behind. Once they took notice of his presence on the battlefield the Naruto created three Shadow Clones who each created a Giant Rasengan and slammed it into the enemy forces killing most of them and causing the rest to retreat into the temple. On a closer inspection of the creatures that had fallen Naruto realized that they were Massassi so he created a small army of clones to flood the temple "Be thorough I'd rather not have these Massassi interfere with my fight against their Sith Lord" Naruto instructed his Clones who then ran into the temple after the Massassi.
The soldiers who had just witnessed this Jedi come in and save them were over joyed at their good fortune and ran over to Naruto to thank him "Thank you for your assistance me and my men were pinned down there." said the one that was in charge as he looked at their savior.
"Don't mention it but I must ask why are you here?" Naruto asked not understanding why anyone else would be here.
"We were traveling in a bunch of ships when one of them crashed here we came to see if there were any survivors" the captain told the young Jedi as he pointed to all of the dead Republic soldiers "unfortunately when we arrived here everyone was dead and these things cut us off from our ship and started attacking us while saying that we couldn't leave until their Sith Master had awoken completely… I don't know what they meant by that but it's my fault that there are so few of us left"
"Don't blame yourself it's not your fault. You were able to keep as many as you could alive…what happened to the others isn't your fault in fact your lucky to be alive" Naruto said to the captain as he put a hand on his shoulder before turning back to the temple entrance "Go back to Coruscant captain tell them what happened and that this threat will be dealt with here and now" Naruto finished as he began walking down the entrance.
"What's your name my soldiers are going to want to know who saved them?!" yelled the captain at Naruto who stopped walking.
"Tell them that the Jedi Knight Naruto Namikaze saved them…now leave this planet it'll be your last chance" were Naruto's last words to the captain before igniting his lightsaber and running down the dark hallway.
XXXXX inside the Temple
Naruto had been running for a while and as time passed he could sense the clones that he had sent in here before him dispel faster and faster 'What's going on?' Naruto thought as he turned a corner and ran into a giant room with four pillars in the four corners of the room. 'Yeah this place doesn't look creepy at all' Naruto thought sarcastically as he cautiously moved to the middle of the room gripping his lightsaber tightly.
"I just can't believe that I return and their response is to send one lone Jedi to fight me" said a voice that seemed to be coming from everywhere at once "but then again your copies did manage to destroy all of the Massassi so perhaps you're stronger than I thought" but this time it came from behind only one of the pillars.
"Exar get out here so we can get this over with" Naruto shouted and was somewhat surprised when Exar did exactly what he said and walked out from behind the pillar in his black robes and black cape flowing behind him.
"So eager to die what a shame but before I kill you I'll give you the chance of joining me, just think about it your army of copies and our strength…together we could do anything" Exar tried tempting Naruto as he brought out his double ended lightsaber just like the one Darth Maul had.
"Sorry but I have everything I could want right now!" Naruto yelled as he suddenly Force pushed Exar into the wall behind him.
"How disappointing." Exar said as he ignited both ends of his blue lightsaber and charged Naruto. Exar though was not known as a Master at lightsaber combat for nothing since with every slash he moved Naruto back. "Ha I expected more you're pathetic," Exar shouted with a grin on his face as he slashed horizontally with one end of his lightsaber making Naruto duck but Exar had expected that and swung the other end of his lightsaber so that it would come right on top of Naruto.
'Damn it can't catch my breath!' Naruto thought as he brought his lightsaber to block the incoming attack but was kicked away into the wall by Exar.
"Give up you're out classed" Exar taunted Naruto further who created a Shadow Clone beside him.
"I'm not one to give up so easy!" Naruto said as he took the Shadow Clone's lightsaber before it dispelled "Let's see if this evens the odds" Naruto said as he went on the offensive by slashing at Exar's legs with the lightsaber in his right arm making him jump. While he was in the air Naruto acted quickly and sent a barrage of attacks not letting him get a good footing until they met at a standstill in the middle of the room. As they struggled to overpower each other Naruto used the Force to grab a rock behind Exar and throw it a the back of his head distracting the Sith enough for Naruto give a final push and slash at the dual bladed lightsaber separating it into two. "Well it would seem as though I've broken your blade my bad" Naruto said with a grin on his face as he watched the Sith grow angry when he found out that only one end of his now separated lightsaber worked now. "Hey what was that bout being outclassed Exar?" Naruto asked messing with the Sith Lord.
"I meant that you're out classed!" Exar shouted as he Force pushed Naruto through the wall and into the wall of the next room and then continued the process.
XXXXX with the Republic Soldiers
They were in their one ship hovering over the temple before they left when they saw a wall collapse and see Naruto's body go flying outside "Sir we should help him!" shouted one of the soldiers but before they could do anything they had to dodge as multiple rocks were being thrown at them.
XXXXX Down on the Ground
"Pathetic weaklings I decide who leaves this place alive!" Exar shouted as he picked three more rocks up with the Force ready to throw them at the Republic soldiers when out of the corner of his eye he saw Naruto trying to get up. "Amazing still want to fight after all of that!" Exar shouted walking toward Naruto using his power of Lightning to knock Naruto back down "Now Die!" Exar shouted as he continued to shock the downed figure of Naruto but to his shock Naruto slowly stood even though he was going through immense pain.
XXXXX with the Republic Soldiers
"Sir the rocks have stopped!" shouted one republic soldier as they looked down at the sight of Naruto struggling to get back to his feet.
"I know" Said the captain as he looked at Naruto with respect before he turned to the rest of his soldiers "we're leaving now!" the captain shouted to his troops who all complained at leaving the Jedi in the state he was in "He is giving us a chance to escape from that monster now so that's what we are going to do!"
XXXXX Down on the Ground
"You just don't seem to be getting it Jedi!" Exar shouted as Naruto got back to his feet "In the time I was gone I only grew stronger and now nothing will get in the way of me destroying the Republic and the Jedi Order!" Exar continued shouting as he accumulated lighting into his hands. "Especially not some random Jedi like you" Exar said as he shot out all the lighting in his hands at Naruto who flew backwards and fell face down.
XXXXX Jedi Counsel
The entire council was meditating trying to reach out to the Force for answers as they could feel the battle that was raging between Naruto and the Sith Lord.
XXXXX Back on Yavin 4
Storm clouds were beginning to gather as Naruto slowly stood up reaching out to the force to give him strength "You don't get it I have people depending on me so…so I can't stop here…not yet" Naruto finished as he stood up and held up his hand and not a second later his lightsaber flew into his hand since he had let go of it at some point.
"I'm afraid that this is exactly where your story does stop," Exar claimed as he ignited his lightsaber.
"What are-"but Naruto was interrupted when he felt a sudden coldness. Looking down Naruto saw two blades sticking out of his chest "How" was all Naruto could say before he looked back to see one Massassi warrior standing behind him holding two swords that were currently inside of him "I…I don't get it I thought…they were all dead" Naruto said as he fell down and he could feel the sword in his back be taken out.
"Ah about that I lied there was one left but don't worry he's served his purpose" Exar said before killing the Massassi with his lightsaber "And now to see what drives you to become so strong" Exar said as he moved in front of Naruto and put his hand on top of Naruto's head "Ah so it is love for a women that drives you forward and gives you the ambition to never give up. That is respectable" Exar said as he took his hand off of Naruto's head and began walking away.
It was becoming harder to breath for Naruto and no matter how much he told himself to get up it would seem as though his body just wouldn't listen 'is this it?' Naruto thought as his sight became hazy but he could still see Exar begin to walk away from him.
"I'll be sure to find that women and kill her so you two can be together!" Exar said as he turned around and laughed at the idea.
"Where…where do you think you're going!" Naruto yelled as he slowly began to stand up feeling stronger than ever 'this is that same strength from before!' Naruto thought as he stared down Exar completely unaware of the transformation his body had gone through that made his outfit change into an open jacket with black markings on it and black shirt and black pants with sandals on but not only did it change his clothes it made him look as though he was glowing and flames were coming off of him.
Exar's first reaction even with Naruto's new appearance was to laugh "What are you going to do you were knocking on death's door just a few seconds ago and now you think you can just take me on!?" Exar said not believing the nerve of the Jedi before him.
"Yes, yes I do" Naruto said before he disappeared and reappeared right in front of Exar launching a kick that made Exar move a good distance away "No matter what you think you aren't leaving this planet your fight is with me here and now!" Naruto yelled as he began disappearing and reappearing in multiple places.
"What the hell is going on!?" Exar yelled as he coughed up blood as he tried to get up "You weren't this strong before!" Exar continued to yell as he stood up but Naruto reappeared right in front of him punching him straight in the face causing him to go flying the other way.
Meanwhile Naruto couldn't believe how easily he was overpowering Exar right now and now that he had a moment to himself he finally noticed the changes to himself 'what the hell is this?' Naruto thought as he looked at his hand and black ball appeared over it and turned into a decent sized black rod. Amazed by his new found ability Naruto almost failed to notice Exar get back up 'I'll figure this all out later but for now it's time to finish this' Naruto thought as he twirled the black rod in his hand as one end of it became sharp. "It's over Exar!" Naruto shouted as he ran towards him at a slower pace dodging Exar's attempts at throwing lightning at him. Naruto continued at his slowed down pace letting Exar completely guard his front until Naruto was about two steps away from him and then he used the same speed from before to reappear right behind stabbing him in the chest.
"This can't be you were dead" was all Exar had to say as Naruto took his new weapon out of his chest and Exar fell to the ground holding on to life for as long as he could.
"Exar you were a servant to your own ambition for power and in your pursuit of it you didn't care how far you fell into the darkness but that all ends here for good!" Naruto shouted as he stabbed Exar in the heart killing him. "It's finally over" Naruto said as he let out a sigh of relief as he grabbed his black weapon again and began making his way back to his ship.
It was halfway toward his ship that his new transformation disappeared along with his new black weapon much to his disappointment "I wonder what I'll call that actually?" Naruto thought out loud since there was no one around him. It wasn't until he actually got to his ship that he finally narrowed down the idea "Let's see I could call it Force Mode" Naruto said as he climbed into his Starfighter "or I could call it Force Cloak" Naruto said as he put in the coordinates back home and the ship lifted into the air "uh what did that old pervert call himself again?" Naruto said as his mind drifted back to Jiraiya who was the strongest guy he could remember from his past life "Oh that's right he called himself the Toad Sage hmm maybe I could call myself the Force Sage after all he said that he was strong because he was a Sage." Naruto finished his train of thought as he yawned and slowly closed his eyes to go to sleep "Oh well I'll decide later."
XXXXX Coruscant Air Hangar
Naruto was having a pleasant dream when his Starfighter arrived and began beeping causing him to wake up from his slumber "Huh oh yeah I'm back well might as well as report the mission a success." Naruto said as he stepped out of his ship still sleepy and began making his way to the Jedi Council who would no doubt want to know if he succeeded.
Not surprisingly it didn't take long for Naruto to reach the Jedi Council room since he could scale buildings and walk up walls at what for some reason felt like a faster pace than normal to Naruto. So there he was in front of the door waiting to be let in but when he was told to go inside he was surprised by many of the reactions of the Jedi Council when they saw him. Not understanding what they were shocked about Naruto looked over his body and couldn't see anything wrong with it I mean yeah sure his Jedi robes were damaged from his fight but that was all "Uh if you don't mind me asking what's the matter Masters?" Naruto asked not understanding what all the commotion was about.
"We can speak of your change…later for now though you must answer us our question did you deal with the Sith that returned?" asked Mace wanting to know if Naruto had succeeded in his assignment.
"Yes" Naruto stated as he remembered the incredibly hard fight he had.
"Very well as for your change look at your eyes," One of the masters told him as they handed him a mirror for him to look into and sure enough his eyes had changed from their normal color blue to their new color orange.
"What happened to my eyes!?" Naruto yelled loudly in shock after looking in the mirror.
"We were hoping you could tell us Naruto did anything happen in your fight against Exar Kun?" Mace asked even more curious since Naruto seemed surprised as well about the change in his eyes.
"Well you see Exar had been getting stronger until now so when we fought he was almost able to kill me but just before I died I received a boost in strength and transformed into something else and was able to defeat him." Naruto said telling the truth not seeing a reason to lie about what had happened.
"See this transformation may we?" Yoda asked the question that was on the mind of most of the council but to their disappointment Naruto looked at the floor and shook his head.
"Sorry but I'm not completely sure how I did it and I'll have to work on it before I can make that transformation again Master" Naruto said since he had been trying on his way here to activate that mode but had no success in the process.
"It is alright Naruto. Work on achieving it and when you have please notify us but for now you may leave." Shaak Ti said speaking for the rest of the council since they could all see that Naruto was telling them the truth at not being able to currently access the form.
"Thank you Masters" was all Naruto said as he bowed and then left the room.
XXXXX Padme's Apartment
When Naruto arrived home he was welcomed by a not so happy Padme "Naruto what were you thinking you could have gotten yourself killed!" Padme yelled at him once he stepped inside but Naruto was clueless of how she knew about him almost dying.
"Uh Padme what are you talking about I'm perfectly fine!" Naruto tried to play it off cool as though he had no idea what she was talking about but Padme pointed to the TV in the wall which showed the soldiers that he saved telling people about how the Jedi Knight Naruto Namikaze sacrificed himself to save them. "I can explain that I swear!" Naruto said quickly as he backed away slowly "You see things didn't go exactly as I had planned but…hey I'm here right!" Naruto said as he threw his arms in the air as if he was celebrating but the look on Padme's face made him lower his arms quickly.
"You idiot I was worried sick for you and then I hear these men saying that you sacrificed your life…you have no idea how hard that was to hear thinking that I would never be able to see you again" Padme said as her eyes began to get watery.
"Padme the whole entire time I was there I was thinking of you and even when I'm somewhere else I will always be with you" Naruto said as he wrapped her in a hug finally took notice of the tissues scattered around the floor "I'm sorry for putting you threw that but you have to remember that I can take care of myself and that there are some things that I have to do okay?"
"Fine Naruto I understand but at least promise me you won't be so reckless and…what happened to your eyes?"
"I promise I won't be reckless like that anymore and as for my eyes well that's a long story"
