I don't own Naruto or Star Wars because if I owned Naruto then he would have been the grandson of Madara Uchiha and Izumi would have killed Satsuki. And if I owned Start wars I would have made Revan strip all the knowledge from the Sith Emperor, killed the Sith Empire, taken over the Sith Empire, and then conquer the Galactic Republic.
A/N: Also since so many people have been asking me what year it was I decided to tell you. The year is around 40 to 39 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), so Naruto was born around the year 52 BBY. I say around because this backwards flowing dating thing is somewhat confusing.
Rise of the Revanchist Empire
Chapter Ten
Telos IV, often called simply Telos, was the fourth world within the Telos system, located in the Outer Rim Kwymar sector. Situated on the strategically-important Hydian Way hyperlane, on the edge of Galactic Republic-controlled space, the Telosian military and economic power bases were considered vital to the survival of the Republic. In addition, the planet played host to the Agricultural Corps, where Jedi who had failed their training were sent to work as farmers and laborers.
The planet Telos IV was located between the planets of Toprawa and Ruuria in the Outer Rim of the galaxy and, as of 3963 BBY, formed one end of the Morellian Trail, a hyperlane that would later form part of the Hydian Way. The capital of Telos was Thani, the city in which the Telosian government, consisting of the Telosian Council and Governor of Telos, was located.
During one of the earliest battles of the Jedi Civil War, Telos was devastated by forces of the Sith Empire. Under orders from Darth Malak, former Republic admiral Saul Karath demanded the planet's surrender; upon being rebuffed, he carried out his orders to bombard the surface. This order went directly against the orders of Revan, as it was meant to be captured, not destroyed.
The reason why Revan wanted it captured and not destroyed was because of something he discovered during his time as a Jedi Knight. Telos was rich in metals that were used in everything from appliances to droids to starships. Revan discovered this on accident after exploring the ruins around the planet. While satisfying his xenoarchaeology hobby, though the need to study the dead cultures were sometimes too strong to resist. In any case, Revan discovered the rich metal hidden beneath the surface after he fell into a sinkhole, which knocked him out upon reaching the ground.
After coming to Revan explored the cavern he was in and discovered huge metal veins. He would eventually find his way out of the cavern, but forget to mention this significance of his finding to the Telos government or the Jedi council. It wasn't his fault really, he was distracted by the rumors of the Mandalorian invasion and by the refusal of the council to involve themselves.
The hero of the Mandalorain War would eventually remember the metal rich planet during the year he started the Jedi Civil War. Revan planned on enslaving the inhabitants and using them as a slave labor force to construct droid factories and gather more children to make into Sith Acolyte to increase his army. But Malak ruined those plans and forced Revan to reconsider, as the Republic had a presence in the system.
The Dark Lord eventually came back a year later and managed to set up his HK Manufacturing Plant. This plant was kept hidden by having his supporters in the Telos government and military build a military base over the only entrance. Only he and his high ranking Telosian supports knew of the base, and only he had access to the base.
With this base Revan would have been able to create his army of HK-50s to assassinate all his opponents, and possibly open up a new war front to further weaken the Republic; unfortunately, depending on who you ask, Malak's betrayal didn't allow Revan to even activate the plant.
Naruto along with the others were currently above Telos IV, overlooking the planet.
"Wow, half the planet looks like it's dead" stated Shisui as he saw that between one third and one half of the planet was red and dead.
"What do you expect when I told you that Malak ordered Orbital Bombardment? Fields of flowers and herds of animals? No, Orbital Bombardment is part of Scorch Earth Tactics, which does what they are titled, they destroy the surface of a planet to eliminate all life, industry, and natural resources, thus preventing the enemy from gaining anything if they are victorious. The most effective means of doing this was using several capital ships to target a specific area on a planet. Although such an act was apt to be imprecise and expected to cause collateral damage, some gunnery crews were reputed to be skilled to the degree of pin-point accuracy; maybe the accuracy has improved do to better targeting systems" Revan explained to Shisui.
"Is there anything worse than this?" Shisui asked rhetorically.
"Of course there are. Like Base Delta Zero, which is basically a more advance and destructive version of Orbital Bombardment; in essence, the highest Tactic of all Scorching Earth techniques," Naruto answered with a shrug. "Base Delta Zero uses Orbital Bombardment, but the setting is set up to maximum power and they target everything. They don't stop attacking until the crust of the planet is mostly melted, completely destroying almost all chance of any life surviving," Revan stated before he hummed observing it a bit more.
"Telos looks like it was between normal Orbital Bombardment and Base Delta Zero, as you can see that everything was targeted, but not enough to completely melt the curst. You can actually see place where there were once hou-"
"Ok I get it, no need to say anymore" Shisui said interrupting Revan.
"Exclamation: But Master didn't get to finish his excellent description!" HK-47 spoke up, earning the attention from the others. "Eager Statement: Besides he didn't explain other weapons and tactics that were worse than Orbital bombardment. Like using mass driver cannons to fling asteroids and other space debris to launch at planets, which can crake the curst like an egg. Or all the super-lasers that can destroy capital class ships with ease. And one of my favorite weapons of all, the Desolator, a super weapon made using the technology of three other super weapons" HK-47 started to explain as the ship went through the entry protocols.
He then went onto explain the Desolator its history and function; which he knew because he had access to such sensitive documents while in the services of the Sith Empire. He told them of how the Sith sent an operative to infiltrate the Republic super weapon initiative, an organization that made super weapons for the Republic to use against their enemies.
They spy was ordered to help the Republic create several super weapons that would actually combine into one super weapon that would be extremely devastating. However Jedis discovered his dark presences and search for him. Apparently he panicked and ran, which the Jedis chased after him. The hero of Tython managed to take him down; unfortunately the Sith spy managed to send all the data before his death.
The first super weapon was the Planet Prison which was designed to supercharge the upper atmosphere of a planet with what was essentially an ion pulse, turning the entire atmosphere into an enormous ion cannon. The weapon was intended as a way to peacefully blockade a planet, so any vessels that attempted to enter the atmosphere, whether they be leaving the planet or attempting to land, would be instantly disabled. The engines and systems of any vessel in the ion field would shut down, forcing the ship to crash. However, one drawback of the weapon was that it required an immense amount of energy and time to charge up to firing capacity, and it generated large amounts of heat while charging.
The second super weapon was the Death Mark which consisted of an orbital platform that was able to fire highly accurate beams of super-concentrated energy at a specific individual. This fatal beam was able to penetrate virtually any structure or shield, making escape impossible; thus making targeted assassinations impossibly easy. The weapon targeted individuals through the use of a special targeting device, which marked targets with a microscopic tag.
The targeting mechanism was only effective at extremely close range, which meant that an operative needed to get within at least twenty meters of an intended target in order to use it. The mark was virtually undetectable, and marked individuals could be tracked indefinitely. However, the unknown Jedi Knight who destroyed the Death Mark was able to evade the weapon's attacks, as the Jedi's danger sense enabled the Knight to leap out of the path of the orbital attack.
The third super weapon that was used to make the Desolator was the Shock Drum, a large ovoid device the size of a cavern, when activated it generated intense ultrasonic vibrations that disable droids and other technology in an ever widening circle with the Shock Drum at its epicenter.
The Shock Drum's vibrations become increasingly powerful the longer it was left on and in time resulted in massive seismic ground-quakes and damage and even death to organic life within range as their molecules literally vibrated apart. The project was scrapped by the Republic because it was discovered by Republic scientists that over a prolonged period it would cause the core of a planet to destabilize eventually causing it to reach critical mass and literally shatter apart, destroying the entire planet.
The Desolator was a combination of the three separate super weapon technologies, and could be mounted directly onto a starship and integrated into the ship's systems. It first used the Planet Prison technology to ionize a planet's atmosphere, thereby making it a giant ion cannon. Next it used the Death Mark laser to set the atmosphere ablaze and then the laser penetrates the planet's crust. Finally it used the Shock Drum technology to destabilize the core of the planet, causing the planet to tear itself apart. Thanks to the ionization rescue was impossible as it prevent ships from entering or leaving the planet.
"Thanks for the enlightening explanation HK, but I said I got it. Anyways looks like they recover pretty well, considering that more than half of the planet looks livable" Shisui said with a sweatdrop at HK's detailed explanation.
"Well that's what you get when the Republic unites together on an idea. Anyway, Naruto land in one of the ports near the edge of the west side. We will act like tourist and enjoy ourselves for the day. Tomorrow we go to the factory and start on building the army" Revan said as he pointed to where Naruto should go.
"So how long do you think it will take to build the amount of droids we need?" asked Naruto as he guided the ship down to the port.
"Depends on how many machines survived after nearly four millennium. And there's the consideration on whether you wanted it done fast or done right. At maximum output the factory could turn fifteen thousand droids per day, a lot right? But to put out this many droids were had to cut some advantages in places, like armor, hardware, software, and weapons. But if we wanted to produce something capable, then it was more like eight thousand unit per day" Revan explained.
"Then we shouldn't wait a day, and check out the base as soon as possible, to see if we can even use it. I don't want to waste any more time. If you are worried about people seeing us or being suspicious, then I will create some clones to act like tourist. Now get ready, HK, PX take your weapons, you will be in charge of keeping the base secure once we get there" Naruto ordered as he created clones to act as them.
As soon as the clones left the ship, they went to pay for the parking. They only paid for the day as Naruto wasn't sure if they were going to be staying longer than a day after seeing the factory. After the exchange of payment, Naruto created several more clones to make sure that the ship was secured, even if it no longer carried all their scrolls; but they still rather keep the ship.
Waiting a couple of more minutes, to make sure nobody was paying attention, Naruto had Shisui cast a genjutsu around them as they existed the ship. The genjutsu wouldn't make them invisible, as that was quite difficult to do on a group than an individual and only master could keep it working while they moved. They did this as Genjutsu wouldn't work on machines, as most of the time they target the senses; only light bending Genjutsu would work on machines. The genjutsu Shisui used would make everyone that saw them or encounter them think that they weren't worth the attention and ignore them.
Before they left Naruto made sure that no one could get into the ship without known about chakra. He set up a seal that would prevent the ramp or doors from being opened without his chakra clearance. This was just in case some criminals thought that their ship would be an easy target; one can never be too careful.
They then proceed to walk out of the city to the military base, which was about a klick north-west of where they parked Glitch. While walking there they made sure to avoid drawing attention to themselves, even though they had the genjutsu to hide them. They made it to the border of the city in less than a minute and took another ten minutes to walk the kilometer to the base.
After walking up a hill, the team was able to see the Telosian Military Base. The base appeared to have been built underground or, the less likely option, into the hill they just climb; Naruto came to this conclusion as the entrance to the base was in the ground. The hill seem to just cut off, turning into a small ridge, with the ground appearing ten meters below the edge.
The ridge itself was in the shape of a semi-circle, the open side led to a forest that was twenty meters away. The whole area felt like it was man-made, not natural, as the hill perfectly hid the entrance to the base and the tanks imbued into the sides of the ridge from the city. The hill was also very steep, more than what it naturally be. The forest also provide a sense of cover, hiding the base from the other side, just in case. If the area occurred naturally than the people that designed the base were pretty luck for finding the area, as it provided cover from all sides and aerial view and was out of the way.
After checking out the surround, Naruto proceed to create two clones. He and the clones proceed to grab a droid and they all jumped onto the tanker near the wall, and then jumped to the ground from there; Shisui and Ros Lai followed them shortly after. Everyone landed gently on the ground, including the heavy droids.
'Thank the Force for gravity seals' Naruto thought. He place gravity seals on all three of his droids, since they didn't have the force or chakra to help them augment their physical limitation. The gravity seals helped them overcome some of those limitations, if he or Shisui were there. With the seal Naruto could make the droids weightless, allowing them to jump up or down high places they normally couldn't reach without damaging themselves; especially T3.
Naruto had a side project to combine a conversion seal with the gravity seal, so that they could just direct the power to the seal so that HK, PX, and T3 could activate the seal whenever they wanted. But the seal was giving him some trouble because the conversion seal was changing the incoming energy into gravitational energy, instead of sending it to the seal.
If he could make the seal work, it might give the three of them the ability to fly, or at least glide, through the air without installing micro repulsor lifts. Though the conversion seal did give him an idea on how to recreate the gravity generator, only if he can focus gravitational energy into a beam; it could create a localized gravity swell, the result of increasing the weight of an enemy, thereby slowing their movement.
They approached the entrance to the base with caution, not knowing if the defense system was still up after over three thousand years. They managed to get inside with no trouble, everything seemed inactive, and so it was doubtful that anyone even remembered that the base existed.
They entered the base without any problem and were being led by Revan to where they should go. Naruto create some clones so explore the base, to see if anything of use still existed, even if it was thousands of years old. They soon reached a door to a repulsor lift. However the base had no power, so the door didn't open and the elevator wouldn't start.
"T3" Naruto said as he realized the issue "go turn on the bases power, we are going to need it after all" Naruto finished, nodding his head towards one of the nearby computer terminal so that he could access the system and reinitiate power. T3 had power and the systems back online in minutes, allowing them to continue.
The repulsor lift ride took half a minute to get to the sublevel of the military compound. The level was merely a long hallway that lead to what seemed nowhere. But on each wall there were several doors, but they were all locked.
"I wonder what's behind these doors. Must be important, they're locked. Can you check it out?" Shisui asked Revan after he tried several of the doors. Revan looked at Shisui, before complying with his wish and phased through the door nearby. He soon appeared on the other side of the hall ways, coming from one of the doors there.
"All most of them are control rooms for the base. Except that one on the far left, it's a meeting room" Revan informed as he looked around, and even peaked his head back out.
Naruto ignored the conversation, deeming it not important. Especially not when they are so close getting what they came for without any trouble. "So where's the entrance to the HK droid factor?" Naruto asked Revan.
"Statement: it's here Master" HK said as he pushed on something on the wall across the repulsor lift they just existed. A nearby section of the wall start to be pushed into the wall. It then separated into two piece, revealing a door hidden a meter behind it. A foot away from the door was a control panel that held a series of numbers and card key lock.
"T3, slice us in" Naruto ordered to the small droid.
The droid beeped back a response and maneuvered itself in front of the pass code pad. It's back slightly opened up before something crawled out of it. The thing that crawled out was one of the two smaller droids that resided in T3, one of the SC0R-P10N slicer droids Naruto design and the Twi'lek triplets created.
SC0R-P10N soon crawled off T3 and onto the wall. It easily scaled the wall thanks to the magnetic feet it had. It soon reached the input pad and jacked its tail into one of ports allowing it and T3 to interface with the locking mechanism. Soon SC0R-P10N and T3 had the locked door down, which revealed that it was actually another repulsor lift.
"You do know I had the access codes right?" wondered Revan as they entered the lift.
"No I didn't. But it doesn't matter, this is good practice for T3 using the new slicer droids" replied Naruto. Like the previous repulsorlift trip, it didn't take that long for them to reach their floor, it took only about a minute. As soon as the doors opened it revealed, more doors!
"Ok I am getting tired of this, Revan please give me the codes so we can get this over with already" said Force ghost complied and gave Naruto the codes. Naruto entered the codes and expected the doors to open up immediately, but he was sadly mistaken. Naruto inputted the codes once more to see if he made a mistake last time, but was once again rejected.
"Did you give me the right code?" Naruto demanded as he glanced to the ghost who gave a shrug along with a nod.
"Yes I did, after all they were my birthday numbers. Are you sure they you put them in right?" Revan hummed tapping the chin of his helmet. Naruto gave a nod as he put them in again but once again was rejected.
"Yes I did, and really, your birthday? What you five?" criticized Naruto with a slightly annoyed tone.
"The date was based on my home planet's calendar, not galactic standard. Wonder why they don't work?" Revan asked himself, putting his hand under his chin.
"Revelations: Master I think that G0-T0 changed the command codes. He was the last person who used the facility. No doubt he did so to prevent anyone for gaining control over the factory while he was away."
"Bastard droid, using things that don't belong to him. T3 start working through the coding, get us access to the room" Revan ordered, crossing his arms.
"Delay those orders T3. Instead focus on disabling the magnetic seal that's protecting the door" Naruto order, before turning to address Revan who no doubt was confused about him overriding his order.
"You built this facility while you were a Sith Lord, so I doubt it will be easy for T3 to get in, even with his new upgrades. So instead he will disable the magnetic seal that is preventing me from through the door. After that is taken offline, I can easily make a whole for us" Naruto explained.
It took twenty seven minutes for T3 and SC0R-P10N to get through the encryption to take down the magnetic seal. It seems that Naruto was right, because if it took nearly half an hour to break through the coding for the magnetic seal, then the security coding for the door itself would have taken hours.
After T3 informed Naruto about the door being ready to be cut down, Naruto activated his reddish orange lightsaber. Naruto then thrust his lightsaber into the door and quickly cut a large circular opening in the door. Before the heated metal could even cool down a bit, Naruto called upon the Force to used it to send the cut portion out the wall. The whole process took less than a minute to complete.
Unfortunately as soon as the two semi-circle door pieces were out of the way, a hail of blaster bolts was fire at Naruto. He quickly reacted and dodged most of the blaster fire, though he managed to reflect a few of them back to the enemy. Before Naruto moved back into the repulsor lift to get cover, he saw the enemy he was fighting. They were a group of more than two dozen HK-50 assassin droids firing at him.
"Damn why are these HK-50s firing at us? In fact, how are they even active? This whole building was shut down" Naruto demanded after he ducked behind one of the walls in the elevator. Blaster bolt could be seen come through the open doors of the elevator. The group was split in half, each half hiding behind one of the elevator's walls near the opening.
"Speculation: Maybe G0-T0 reprogrammed more than the locks and pass codes while he was in control of this manufacturing plant. He may have installed a program that caused the factory to start producing droids after the wrong code was inputted" HK-47 speculated.
"We will speculate later, right now we have to shut down the production of said droids"
"Statement: Come out and die organics" one of the HK-50 firing at them said.
"T3, remember to delete that program from the HK-50 system once we gain control. It's not funny when he says it" Naruto said with his back against the wall looking at T3, who beeped back a reply. "HK I know you have some thermal detonators, since you never leave home without them, adjust it to explode upon impact. Once it explodes everyone take down those droids, there are about twenty five of them; T3, you know what to do."
HK complied and took one of his thermal detonators that was magnetically attached to his leg. He quickly inputted the setting and threw the object down the hall and through the doorway, where the HK-50s were. But it never reached them as one of the enemy droids managed to shoot the grenade like object before it to reach them. Luckily for Naruto's side it still cause the detonator to explode like a flare, providing a distraction for Naruto and his team to move out the hallway.
Both Naruto and Ros Lai were in front of the group running with one of their hand behind them. As they desperately ran to reach the HK-50s before they recover from the improve flare, they gathered the Force around their hand. They managed to reach the enemy before they could recover and as one brought their hands forward. This action sent the gather Force energy towards the group droids blocking the door, which sent more than a dozen flying back to the other side of the large room they were in.
HK, PX, and Shisui were right behind them and started attacking the enemy with their weapons. HK was using his Droid Assassin Rifle to shoot down the rather poor shade durasteel copies of his. PX was using his Baragwin assault gun to force back the nearby HK-50s droids. Shisui on the other hand was using his tantō with Hien (Flying Swallow) to cut down the downed droids from Naruto's and Ros Lai's combined Force Push.
All in all the group managed to take down about seven of the assassin droids upon entering the droid factor. They soon had to take cover as the HK-50s soon recovered from the surprise attack. They regrouped and started firing at the team. They retreated behind the counsel that controlled the factory and the production of HK-50 droids; well except Naruto who was standing in front of the counsel trying to reflect every blaster bolt sent their way, so that it didn't damage the computer.
Shisui soon spat out a Doton: Doryūheki (Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall) to form a one and a half meter wall in front of the counsel. The earth wall would protect the counsel from attacks. It would also allow the team to get closer and attack the enemy with better cover.
"There are currently twenty two HK attacking us, from what I last saw. It also appears that the factory is producing a droid every minute, as before we assume cover I saw a new one come out from the door leading to the factory on the other side" Ros Lai said before she peek out through the side of the earth wall to fire two of her plasma arrows in quick succession, "make that twenty one droid attacking us now."
"T3 hurry up and shut down the droid production. After that we only have to hand these droids" Naruto yelled over the blaster fire. He quickly leap onto the top of the earth wall and through his lightsaber towards several of the HK-50s firing at him. His lightsaber managed to cut through two of the droid and spill some lava on another two as it came back to Naruto. HK and PX quickly took advantage of the lava covered droids to take them down.
"There are now seventeen droids left, with another one joining them from the production line Master" C-3PX reported as he crouched back down behind the mud wall.
"How's it going T3?" Naruto asked the small droid once again.
*Beep, Beep, Whistle, High Pitch Whirling Sound* was the small droids reply as it and the two SC0R-P10N slicer droid under its control worked on the controls.
"Naruto make me a body. I will help T3 with the security system. Even if G0-T0 has gained control over my factory, most of these systems were of my design, so I can help bypass them" Revan ordered. Naruto quickly complied and created two shadow clones. Revan entered one of the clones' body, took it over, joined the droids near the counsel, and started typing like a maniac.
"Heads up everyone, get ready for them to be distracted" Naruto ordered as he tense his legs to jump up once more onto the wall. Everyone else got ready for the opening they were going to be given. Once he saw that everyone was ready, Naruto signaled the clone to go out there and fulfill its purpose.
The clone started flying through hand seals as it ran from behind the wall into the middle of the conflict. The clone was facing the HK-50s with its fingers near its mouth as it ready its jutsu.
"Fūton: Shinkūgy-" (Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere) the clones started, but was dispelled before it could release even one shoot.
But its sacrifice wasn't in vain as it did its job and distracted all the droids. Merely a second after the clone left the protection of the earth wall everyone moved to attack. Naruto once again sent his lightsaber to cut down the enemy, though only managing to cut one down, and no lava was spilled onto anyone. Ros Lai managed to shoot three of her pink plasma arrows to hit two droids.
PX followed up her attack by shooting down the two droids she shot, destroying them, and another once that was nearby. HK switched to his Verpine Shatter Sniper Rifle to shoot down a row of three HK-50s. Shisui finished the assault to by using his specialty technique, Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique), to appear before one of the HK-50s that was trying to sneak near their wall, he took it out and reappeared back in his previous location. This all happen in less than half a minute.
"There are ten left. Though in ten seconds they will have another comrade fighting with them" Shisui told Naruto who narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I doubt that the distraction tactic will work again, so that plan is out. Revan, T3, how long until you stop this annoying machine?" Naruto wondered as he heard the hail of blaster bolts hitting the earth wall increase; no doubt it was the new HK-50 that just joined their side.
"Give us a couple of more minutes and we will have the plant shut down. Damn I really know how to make a good security system" Revan muttered the last part to himself.
Naruto returned his focus to the fight they were currently having. He went through several simulations and tactics through his head to see if any would work. After thinking for a minute, which allowed another droid to be created, but Ros Lai and HK managed to take one down each.
Naruto whistled to call the team's attention. Once he saw that he had everyone's attention he pointed to himself to them upward, signaling that he would up the wall once more. He then signaled that HK and Ros Lai would peek out from the right side to attack, while Shisui and PX would peek out through the left side to attack.
Once he was sure that everyone got the plan, he counted down with his hand. Upon reaching zero Naruto jumped to the top wall, while the other peeked from the sides weapons ready. However it didn't work, as Naruto was immediately fired upon, forcing him to deflect and reflect the blaster shots being sent his way. Each side managed to take down another HK-50 each before they were force to seek cover once more.
Before Naruto could jump down, a blaster bolt managed to get pass his defense and hit him square in the chest. The kinetic force of the shot pushed him back off the wall. Naruto landed on his back in the middle of the group, with a hole in his shirt, which was slightly scorch. The hole allowed the others to see his skin, and see that it was also scorched black from the blaster bolt.
"NARUTO! Are you alright!?" Shisui yelled as he got near Naruto. His intial was a grunt along with a groan as the blond checked his wound.
"I'm fine, it's just a flesh wound There are only eight units left, so after we take these down we will only have to focus on the single one that is create every minute" Naruto said before biting back a groan.
"No need to, T3 and I have just managed to shut down the droid factor, so we only have to deal with the ones that are currently firing at use. Don't worry, I will take care of them. Just give me a minute to prepare the attack, I am not used to using your body, or it not really having the Force" Revan muttered as he started to gather the Force around his hands. The Force became so concentrated in his hands that it started to manifest as blue lightning. As the lightning and concentration of Force energy increase the color change from blue to purple.
After charging up his Sith Lightning, Revan jumped to the top of the earth wall and unleashed his attack. The purple lightning quickly shot forth from his hands and struck the nearest HK-50s shocking them. But it didn't stop there, as the lightning soon branched out from them striking the other HK-50s that were nearby. It continued to branch out until it was striking all eight HK-50s simultaneously. Revan continued that attack until all the HK-50s fell.
"Wow, I didn't know that Sith Lightning could do that" Naruto whistled in appreciation, making a side note to learn that in the near future.
"Eh, it was merely a chained version of Sith Lightning. I will teach you how to do all variations of the technique once I deem you strong enough" replied Revan.
"Can't wait. Now can you go checkout all the systems. When you are done report to me the capabilities of the factory, and I will deem if this adventure was worth it" Naruto commanded. "Also, is this the whole droid factory? It seems kind of small" Naruto muttered quietly looking around as he pointed to the see-through panels that showed where the HKs were built.
"No it isn't, what you are currently seeing is one of fifteen production lines. The others are down that hallway currently hidden by that false wall. The other fourteen production lines can't be access through the counsel here. Before you ask, I arranged it this way so that if anyone, besides me or those I trust, found the manufacturing plant, they would assume that this was the whole thing. Image if G0-T0 managed to gain complete control, he might have not have been stopped the first time. And if he was, then we would have been fighting fifteen times the number of droids were fought just now" Revan explained as he did a system scan of the compound.
"So what's the verdict? How many of these production lines are working?" Naruto wondered, hoping that all of them were working but knew that would be kind of hoping for a bit much.
"It appears that over the last three thousand years there have been some tectonic disturbances. They caused a cave collapse which destroyed six of the production lines. Another seems to also have stop working for not apparent reason, so I don't know what caused them to stop. I could probably fix it, but it's best we don't bother. So that leaves us with six production lines, including this one" Revan reported.
"So how fast can these lines make the droids?" Naruto questioned.
"Well G0-To had it on its fastest setting, which was one every minute or so. With six production lines we can make the sixty thousand droids we want in about seven day. But I need to remind you that at these speeds the quality and ability of the HK-50s isn't the best it could be. I suggest that we do it at half of max speed, so that we get six complete every two minutes. We will make two hundred every hour, so that means in a day we will make four thousand eight hundred. We will finish building all sixty thousand droids in twelve and a half days" Revan calculated.
"Make it so" Naruto ordered as he turned away. But then stopped for a second to think and turned back to Revan. "Hey Revan could we have the production line build other droids like we did with the Mustafar factory?"
"We could with a few modifications, but it would take far longer to make them than to make the HK-50s. It would take about one hour for each of the production lines to even make one droid; so it's about one labor droid every ten minutes. Not very effective" Revan replied.
"Doesn't matter, with it we could lessen the time it takes for the Mustafar base to be operational" Naruto said before turning to T3, "T3 modify the HK-50s to my specifications. And then start production of the droids immediately." Naruto then turned to HK, PX, Shisui, and Ros Lai and said "You guys go out and secure the area around the base. Make sure that no one is coming near here. If they do, warn me, and I will decide what to do from there." As the four of them proceeded to do as they were ordered, Naruto called out for Ros Lai.
"You are not going with them Ros Lai" Naruto told her. She gave him a curious look and Naruto unsealed something more from his wrist seals. After the smoke dissipated it was revealed that Naruto was holding a leather whip. He then said "you are going to be learning how wield one of these" before he gave it to her.
Confused she asked "why am I learning how to use a whip?" She then gasped before giving him a slightly sultry look, and her tone teasing. "How do you know I am into that stuff? Have you been spying on me?"
Naruto blinked before he blushed at the accusations "WHAT!? NO! I am giving you this whip so that you can practice and learn how to use it. This is less dangerous and painful than learning with an actual lightwhip. Once Revan or I deem your skill high enough I will build you a lightwhip. Now practice in a corner somewhere, I got to get something important ready."
With that said Naruto proceeded to walk to a large smooth wall that wasn't being used or blocked by anything. Naruto then unsealed more things from his wrist seals. They were revealed to be ink wells, brushes, a measuring device, notes, and blueprints. Naruto use the measuring device to measure a large two meter long semi-circle, which he outlined into the wall using his brush. After double checking all his measurement Naruto set aside the device.
Naruto got his brush and some of his notes. He soon started to paint on the seals all around the semi-circle. Naruto was so deep in concentration that he didn't notice the time go by.
"How's it going?" Revan suddenly asked.
"Good, I got the first part done" Naruto replied without even flinching.
"It took you nearly half an hour to do this part and you seem to have done less than one percent of the overall seal" Revan told him.
"Don't worry, the seal will be finished in less than an hour and a half. This part is the most delicate as it's the foundation where all the other seals connect to, I couldn't let my clones do it. But for the other sections three clones can work on it, until I need to carve in the Sith Runes and bind the two together" Naruto explained as he finished up.
"Why are you using both the Sith Runes and the Energy Conversion seals?" Revan questioned as he looked over Naruto's shoulder.
"As you know, the Sith Runes didn't work back when were on Mustafar; they simply couldn't draw enough of the Force to open and/or keep the space-time portal open. That is why I had to use the Energy Conversion seal so that were could use a power source, such as one dedicated thermal generator, to change the electricity into chakra to power the seal" said as he moved back to look over his work. Satisfied Naruto created three clones to work on the next part.
"Of course, you explained it before" Revan nodded in remembrance.
"Well I think that I figured what the two problems were, besides the Sith Runes not drawing enough of the Force. The first problem was that even though the Force exist everywhere, it is stronger on planets where there is more life; so the Sith Runes should in theory gather way more energy on Coruscant than on a lifeless planet," Naruto went on.
"This problem can be fix by improving the rate of Force energy the rune can take in. The second problem is that it takes more energy to break open a hole in the space-time continuum, than it takes to sustain one. I can make it so that the seal channels more energy in the beginning and then lessens after the portal is sustained" Naruto took a breath and then he continued.
"I want the Senkaimon Fuin (World Penetrating Gate Seal) using the Sith Runes to work, so that we can use Senkaimon anywhere, without bringing a generator with us, or taping into a cities electrical grid. So I am testing it here with the modifications I made. Hopefully with the amount of life that's here it will supply the rune with more energy. If it doesn't work than I will simply switch it to the Energy Conversion Seals," he finished before glancing towards Revan then moving his eyes back to what he was working on.
"Now enough about that, how many HK-50s are done already?" he queried as he went over to where one of the clones was writing and smeared off the seal the clone just drew, as it was missed written.
"We have about one hundred done already. With the estimation of when you will finish the seal we should have four hundred HK-50s to send through the gate right away" Revan answered.
Naruto merely nodded, not even looking at Revan. He was making sure that the clones didn't make a mistake. Revan seeing that Naruto was to engross into his seal, left him alone. Before he got too far he heard Naruto say something to him.
"Revan, can you contact the clones in the city and have them bring Glitch to us? We are going to be here for more than a week so they don't need to stay there; just in case they are accidently dispelled. Besides we are going to continue checking out that supercomputer in the back of Glitch, we have almost solved that thing" Naruto informed, still not taking his eyes off the seal.
"Yes, of course. We can use T3 to help us figure it out" Revan said, Naruto once again responded with a nod. After that Revan continued on his way. He went to the communication room to contact the clones in the city, hopefully they hadn't done anything stupid and could arrive at the secret base in several minutes.

It has been two weeks since the group has taken over the HK manufacturing plant. They finished producing the sixty thousand droids, with standard Droid Assassin's Rifle, one and a half days ago. After that Revan switched the blueprints to construct labor droids, currently each of the production lines were making a different type of labor droid every hour.
The two weeks that they were there have been busy for them. Well except for HK, PX, and Shisui; they were stuck with guarding the ship and military base. This meant that they had to patrol the area all day. All three of them constantly complained about their assignments, saying that the HK-50s they built could have done the job, but Naruto knew that it would just make them more bored.
Ros Lai, on the other hand was quiet concentrating on working with the whip Naruto gave her. Naruto would have forgotten she was even at the base, if she didn't come to eat dinner with them. All day, from sun up to sun down, she was practicing with the whip. Occasionally she and Shisui would get in a fight about the stupidest things, which Naruto ignored, deeming it non-important; unless it started to affect their work.
Naruto, Revan, and T3 for the most part have been cooped up in Glitch figuring out what the machine was that came with the ship. With the three of them working on it they were able to figure out many of the computer's features.
The first feature the group discover, one that Naruto initially found while looking over it on Mustafar, was that the computer had massive memory banks, which allowed it to sort and maintain the massive amounts of data in its archives. The processing and memory of the computer was one of the best that Revan or Naruto has ever seen; the only thing that seemed to be better was Gabonna memory crystal and holocron crystals. Though Revan and Naruto couldn't really judge as Naruto hasn't seen many processors and memory units, and Revan has been out of touch with technology for over three thousand years.
The second thing that the group found was that the computer was capable of being hooked into millions of networks and mainframes. This meant that it could function on a planetary scale. With this function, plus its high memory, it seemed highly likely that it was meant to function on a planetary scale, which was highly impressive.
After find out about these features Naruto had T3 look for any machine that matched its capabilities. Naruto though that the search would have been hard, since the machine was built hundreds of years ago and there may have been new and better models built during that time. Shockingly enough the search results one revealed only one such machine that was capable of the features the three of them discovered.
Apparently what Naruto had in his possession was a BRT supercomputer made by the Aratech Repulsor Company; the same company that create the G0-T0 infrastructure planning system droids. After the failure that was G0-T0, the company almost went bankrupted. They tried to improve in their attempt at a network droid with the BRT supercomputer; strictly speaking, it wasn't a droid, but rather a self-aware artificial intelligence module.
Despite the fanfare, having been marketed as municipal planners to many Core Worlds, the BRTs were short-lived however. Due to their flawless management of planetary systems such as traffic control, power regulation, waste disposal, and emergency management, many government employees found their jobs suddenly obsolete. This caused much anti-droid sentiment to develop on planets with BRT systems.
With this new information, Naruto had to think of ways that if could be useful to any of his plans. If it didn't, then Naruto could always keep it in storage, until he found some use for it, or he just disassemble it and use its parts for something else later on. Revan told Naruto he had an idea on what it can be used for. Though he said they should activate it to judge if it even worked properly.
Just as they were about to activate the BRT supercomputer, they were interrupted by a message from HK-47.
"Statement: Master there is a squad of human heading in this direction. They are where a small amount of body armor and have blasters hosted at their sides. Speculation: It seems that they are the local police. Bloodthirsty Statement: May I take them down Master?" HK requested as he had his shatter rifle trained on the group, ready to take them down at a moment's notice.
"Shit, this place it deserted, no one should be heading here unless they know we are here" Naruto cursed out loud to Revan and T3. However he soon relayed a set of orders to HK, "No, don't take them down, just follow them if they enter our area. Contact PX and Shisui to back you up, just in case. T3 and I are going down into the base, to get Ros Lai, and secure the base." With that said Naruto and T3 quickly went through the base and down to the stop the production of clones. They reached the bottom in less than a minute.
Once there Naruto order T3 to shut down the production lines and set up the base's self-destruct mode, just in case they were compromised. While T3 was doing that, Naruto created clones to safely take down the Senkaimon Fuin, as it was to danger to be left active, and if taken down wrong, then it could create an out of control wormhole, leading to Mustafar. Naruto himself was going to get Ros Lai and gather all the important supplies they moved there; which wasn't that much at all.
It took about five minutes for Naruto and Ros Lai to gather everything important; by the time they were done T3 was also finished. They quickly went up the two repulsorlifts, and tried to get out of the compound unnoticed, as HK reported that the police squad came directly to the secret base and investigated their ship. Unfortunately for them, the cops were already in the base when they got out of the elevator that led to the main floor. Immediately after the doors opened they had several blaster pistols pointed at them.
'Shit/Shit/Beep!' though Naruto, Ros Lai and T3.
"Freeze! Who are you and what are you doing here!?" a woman demanded, who seemed to be the leader of the squad.
"Um, who are you and what are you doing here?" Naruto returned with an intimidating tone, using the Force to create a minor Jedi Mind Trick.
"We are Telosian law enforcement. And we are investigating a suspicious power drain from the city's power network. It was being drain here, to this old abandoned military base" one of the other officers responded.
"Damn it Kal, why are you telling them what they want to know!?" yelled the female leader.
"Wow he's not bright that one" 'Thank the Force' "But I can't let you find out what we were doing, so you are going to have to die" Naruto smiled at them before saying, "kill them."
Before any of the officers had a chance to react, a hail of blaster shoots flew towards the police from behind. Most of these bolts hit their mark, which was the unprotected head of the officers, while most of the others managed to hit the offices. In mere seconds all seven of the policemen were dead.
HK, PX, and Shisui came out from their shooting positions near the entrance of the base. Naruto nodded to them, and said good job. Turning to them he order them to gather the bodies close and use a Thermal Detonator to dispose of them. He then turned to T3 and had him delete everything in the secret HK manufacturing plant. He also had him activate both bases' self-destruct sequence, with a ten minute count down, so they had some time to get away in Glitch.
'What a shame' Naruto thought shaking his head as he saw the base get smaller and smaller through the porthole, 'the base could have been more useful to me.' Naruto muttered before seeing the briefest signs of the base exploding as they left the planet.
'Such as shame indeed. Well not everything can work out perfectly now can it? But unlike most people, the Force seems to be on my side. Let us see if this luck continues on. I think Revan and I should activate and see the potential of the BRT during this fifteen day trip to Mustafar. If it does work, than it will make acquiring the knowledge of the forgotten empires so much easier.'
Hey guys I'm back with another new chapter as you can see. Yea another two months before another chapter was upload. Sorry you know life is more important than fanfiction, unfortunately; I wish I could just read and write fics.
Before I forget, people have been asking me what year it is in the story, so if you didn't read it up at the top then reader it here. The year is around 40 to 39 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), so Naruto was born around the year 52 BBY. Oh, and don't forget to keep on sending suggestions on what animals Naruto should get to make sithspawns and how they are altered.
As you know I have a poll up on whether I should start another story. Well the poll is still up, currently the Naruto/Pokegirl crossover "The Next Level" is winning, and I am still going to use it. But I have decided to write out the first chapter for several of the stories; along with several others I thought up over the last two months. You guys/girls can still vote if you want, though maybe you might want to wait until the first chapter is up. Also don't expect the first chapter to be long, at max they will be 3k I believe. I will use the poll as a reference of what stories are popular.
Finally to those people that complain that my story sucks. Just want to say I DON'T CARE. I have no illusion about my writing skills, I know I have bad writing skills. I am not like some of the more popular and better writes in this website that can write a story with no errors. I just write because I have an active imagination and I just want to write.
Well hope you enjoyed the chapter. Keep an eye out for my other stories. And happy holidays.
