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.
Rise of the Revanchist Empire
Chapter Twelve
"Itadakimasu!" Naruto said as he dug into his instant ramen. His love of ramen was probably the only thing that he shared with his family. However he also that to grow stronger one must eat a balanced meal, filled with all the essential nutrition. That is why he limited him ramen intake to once a week, though usually it was more like twice a month. Naruto preferred this diet as it allowed him to eat better, taste other foods, and savor the taste of his precious ramen more when he enjoyed it.
While the instant ramen was good, he wished he was in Konoha so that he could eating at Ramen Ichiraku, which had the best ramen. And the last part isn't an opinion, when Naruto left Konoha with Shisui, they briefly stopped for ramen in a town; it was good but it wasn't Ichiraku.
Naruto finished up his ramen quickly and looked around the room, after discarding his trash. The room was a meeting room, or war room, that was large enough to house twenty people. It from the building's original design, something Naruto decided to keep instead of changing. The meeting room also served as an emergency control room for the entire base; they could either override the main control room, or have it as a backup.
In the center of the room was a long rectangular table. In the middle of the table was a holo-projector, which was use either to coordinate the troops, or just review anything in the base. The projector was also connected directly to a powerful and encrypted hyperspace transmitter and transceiver, which directly connect to Coruscant. Naruto almost activate it, which would have revealed their base location if it still worked, but luckily T3 stopped him from doing so.
Besides the holo-project and the emergency protocols, there was several other hidden secrets in the room. The first of which was that there were currently six top of the line, for that era, battle droids hidden in two of the walls. They would immediately be activated once one of the emergency protocols had been activated; unfortunately for the people working in the building at the time HK's massacre, the droids were skilled enough to stop him. The second secret was that there was a hidden escape passage that lead to an emergency escape shuttle; when Naruto explored the tunnel, he discovered that corpses of people that tried to escape.
Seeing that he still had awhile before the others entered for the meeting, Naruto decided to look at his latest buy from the smuggler's moon. The first of which was clothing for Ros Lai, Shisui, and Naruto.
Ros Lai was simple everyday outfit consisting of skin tight maroon pants, which matched the colors of the leggings she wear before, and a tight dark violet tank top, the first part was armored. The entire outfit was had mark III armorweave underlay to protect it from energy damage, mark IV environmental underlay to keep her cool or warm, mark III biorestorative underlay to increase healing, and the chest armor was mark III bonded plates which added additional protection. She would also have a very powerful personal energy shield as soon as he could figure out how to get it to be powered by a rakata energy cube.
Shisui on the other had the clothing maker make copies of his traditional Uchiha clothing that he wore when he was still part of Konoha. However he had a hood added to it, so that it could conceal his head, along with a mask. The clothing was had mark II armorweave, mark III environmental underlay, mark I biorestorative underlay, and the chest armor was made of mark II bonded plates.
Naruto wanted Shisui to get a better protected out because unlike Ros Lai, who fights long range, Shisui like to fight close; so Shisui was had a custom made battle armor. The suit consisted mark IV bonded plates over skin tight clothing made of mark III armorweave, mark IV environmental underlay, mark III biorestorative underlay. The bonded plates don't limit him movement because of armorply plating, an enhancement that increased the suppleness of armor, thereby boosting the flexibility of the wearer's movements. Finally he has a small cape with a hood that helps hide his identity with his mask. (Look up Jack of Blades)
Looking down, Naruto saw the casual clothing he got. It wasn't something that he particularly though it would look good on him, but Izumi convinced him to do so; she was the one to design it. He was wearing a black uniform-style jacket with an orange zipper that features several buttons on the waist and sleeves, allowing him to fold up the left sleeve and rear coattails, giving him easy access to the pouches on the back of his belt. He was also wearing a red armband with the crest of Revan's Empire on his left arm. (Naruto's the Last outfit)
His second outfit was solely based on the principal of Sith Assassin that the resurgent Sith Empire used. The suit started off in life as mark V Cyricept Personal Concealment System, it was able to bend different kind of waves, including light, sound, and electromagnetic, around itself, making the suit and its wearer essentially invisible. The suit and mask were also able to raise or lower the emitting temperatures to match those around it, making the suit invisible to thermal sensors and preventing the water vapor in the wearer's breath from condensing in cold temperatures. The suit did have some drawbacks, however; it was not totally invisible, and when looking directly at it, one might see an almost phantasmal silhouette. It was also less useful in environments that included rain, snow, or ashfall, as the precipitation would often stick to the suit.
The simple black clothing, while excellent for stealth, need armor enhancements to increase its durability and protect him better. He had mark IV armorweave, mark V armorply plating, mark III biorestorative underlay, mark IV bonded plates for the armor parts, and mark IV environmental underlay. His mask contained enhanced optics suite and an integrated stealth field reinforcement visor. In the end the stealth suit was now a sleek design similar to that of the modern special ops agent, while the tabi boots, ninja head piece, Revan mask replica, scarf and shin/forearm guards are reminiscent of his ninja heritage. (Ryu's Legendary Black Falcon outfit)
His final outfit was based on the principal of Sith Juggernaut that the resurgent Sith Empire used. The sole purpose of his armor is to tank every hit and survive the conflict. It started out in life as a powered battle armor from the time of Revan. However Naruto felt that the armor lacked protection and resolved to improve it, while at the same time not making it too bulky and restrictive. Some technology of the DZ 17X Nemesis powersuit battle armor model were integrated. Features such as the metal gauntlets reaching to his elbow, a pairs of mandalorian crush gauntlets were used as they increased the strength of the user, but without adding too much girth; however they made preforming hand seals hard. The metallic combat boots that covered his feet and reach to his knees had jump servos and hydraulics. His chest armor was made of mark V heavy bonded plates that used exotic materials to make it strong, but light; the mark V flexible underlay allow it to be highly flexible.
To get rid of most of the weight, the interlocking plates that protect the wearer were removed. The plates were replaced with mark V armorweaved, which offered nearly the same amount of protection as the plates, but at the fraction of the weight, and allowed more movement. Mark V environmental underlay was added to suit to make it not only climate controlled, but also vacuum sealed when wanted. A mark V biorestorative underlay was added so that the wearer could quickly recover from any damage. The mark V strengthening underlay also got rid of the hydraulics, reducing weight and bulk.
The final pieces of this dangerous battle armor was the mask/helmet, the cloak, and the belts. The mask itself resembles a skull, though any opening were covered in tinted view screens. The mask had enhanced optic suite, which consist of several audio and visual sensors. The tattered black cloak was nothing very special, just that it was made of armorweave for added protection, and had a hood. Finally there were crisscross of belts all over it that held ammo, power packs, grenades, charges, weapons, and more. (Reaper Overwatch)
Besides the new clothing Naruto also obtain some more weapons. He got some of the components to build Ros Lai her lightwhip, and several different metals to build Shisui the weapon he promised him. Besides that he ordered two experiment, highly unusual, but very effective guns. The weapon are two the Dominator, or just Dominator for short.
The Dominator is the brain child of a small but extremely intelligent weapon manufacturing business called Psycho-Pass on Nar Shadda. This company has spies in every other weapon company that resides on Nar Shadda, this allows them to acquire company secret and weapon blueprints easily; this includes some that were deemed too dangerous. They sell the premier weapons to the underworld, only the insanely rich or corrupt know about them, and their stuff is always top of the line.
Psycho-Pass' intelligence is shown in their top of the line creation, The Dominator. It's a weapon that combines every energy type weapon into one. Be it disruptor, ion, particle beam, plasma, sonic, and stun; this baby can do all that. While one would expect such a weapon to be the size of a turret or missile launch, The Dominator is in fact looks and feels like a slightly oversized pistol. It accomplishes by having the muzzle open up and undergoes a rather elaborate transformation which includes swiveling, sliding and flipping around most parts; this arranges the circuits to different configurations to allow the use of different energies.
Because of that it has seven modes. The modes could be chosen by either pressing a button on the side of the Dominator that scrolled through the options, voice command if it was linked to a helmet, or through a neural connection. Charging up a shot was done in a similar manner.
The first mode is the Non-Lethal Paralyzer, The Dominator doesn't change at all from its default from; other than a few lights glowing. It fires energy that overloads the targets nervous system, generally causing unconsciousness or an almost catatonic state. This mode can generally bring down most species in one shot, though some may take one or two more; it may take more shots if the target is using stimulants. In this mode about thirty six shots can be used, about one third less energy than any other shot, used in any other mode.
The second mode is the Disoriented Shriek, The Dominator undergoes minor changes; the bottom part lowers itself, creating a small space under the barrel. The Shriek fires compressed bolts of pure sound at its target, upon contact it will explode and release a high pitch sound that disrupt the target's equilibrium, causing disorientation. The bolt of sound can be compressed further to shatter solid objects and cause devastating injuries; at twice the amount of energy.
The next mode is the Cyber Neutralizer, The Dominator once again undergoes minor changes; merely the top back part opens up a bit. The Cyber Neutralizer mode fires a jolt of ionic energy that can a droid out of commission for a while with almost the same effect as a stun bolt would have to a Human. The bolts of ionic energy can by supercharged so that they can stop heavily armored droids and would completely short not just the power cell, but fry the motivator and memory if used on a droid without heavy armor or insulation; unfortunately it take three times the energy and puts considerable ware on its systems.
The fourth mode is the Burning Nova, The Dominator undergoes a monumental change, were the lower portion of the gun undergoes a rather elaborate transformation which includes swiveling, sliding and flipping. This is where the Dominator got very dangerous, in the Burning Nova mode it fired a ball of plasma that can burn through flesh easily and some weaker materials. However if it encounters armor or shielding then it create a small explosion that spread the plasma in a nearby radius; the plasma continues to burn the target for a while, it's extremely painful. One can charge up the ball of plasma so that it burns hotter, makes a larger explosion, and burns longer; though it cost four times the energy.
The fifth mode is Unstable Explosive, The Dominator undergoes the same amount of changes as the Burning Nova, however in a different configuration. Unstable Explosive projectile utilized coherent particles of energy that are not as densely packed as those in blaster bolts, but where much more energized. This resulted in a bolt that was both unstable, but very powerful; upon contact with an energy field or solid object, would explode violently. For a much stronger explosion one could charge up the particle beam, making them more excited and unstable; at four times the energy cost.
Then there was the Bond Disruptor mode, The Dominator undergoes the same amount of changes as the Burning Nova and Unstable Explosive, however in a different configuration. Bond Disruptor unleashes a huge burst of energy which, upon contact with the target, affects all organic and inorganic matter. Following impact on a human target, everything behind the impact is annihilated. The process takes about two seconds and is quite visually violent. What remains is some of the corpse with an eighteen inch or more hole in it and a spray of fine red mist. Being shot in a limb while the gun is in this mode often leaves the target alive, albeit severely injured with said limb lost. The shot can be charge so that even if the bolt grazes the arm of the target, it would instantly disintegrate its target, leaving nothing but a pile of ashes behind; at four times the energy cost.
The final mode was the Destroy Decomposer, The Dominator undergoes its most radical change with nearly every part flipping, sliding, and swiveling. This mode is the combination of the three previous modes and has their combined powers; it is literally has the power of a cannon. The mode takes all power that is in the power pack and uses it to create a large charge ball of plasma that can easily vaporizing nearly any material it comes in contact with. After a certain distance or encounter something it can't go through, the ball of plasma will explode violently, and continually burn anything it lands on. This uses all the power available in its power pack, so make sure the shot counts; also more power means stronger shot.
While all this makes the Dominator a very special and powerful gun, it is not without some flaws and limitations. The time it takes for it to switch into the modes Disoriented Shriek and Cyber Neutralizer from Non-Lethal Paralyzers modes is on average about one second; not overall a bad time. However the time it takes to switch into Burning Nova, Unstable Explosive, and Bond Disruptor is around four to six seconds long; quite a while on the battlefield, especially on a shinobi one, where every second means life or death. The Destroy Decomposer takes between eight and twelve seconds to change, which is forever in the real world.
Besides the time it takes to change into the right configuration, the gun was prone to jamming half way through its shifting process, every one out of five time. It would take an additional ten seconds for the gun to start working once more and continue its change. These chances were greater when in sandy or dusty places, as the shifting exposed the inside of the muzzle, thus allowing sand or dust to stop the shift, or cause the gun to stop working completely.
The range of the gun was also terrible, it was no more than eight meter, completely useless in mid to long distance combat. And the number of shots were somewhat low, only eight. Also sometimes the bolts take more energy than they should, leaving the user thinking that have three shots left after using five of the eight, but in reality they only have one or two shots left. The stronger shots take on average three seconds to charge up.
Psycho-Pass has recognized these flaws and say that they are working to correct them from the next mark Dominator. They say that they hope to lower each of the shifting to different configurations by two seconds at least. They are also working on a solution to prevent the Dominator from jamming and protecting the insides from unwanted contaminants. They plan on adding a better power cell to increase the amount of shots, though Naruto was having one custom made to use a pure type rylith power cell for significantly more power and thus more shots.
Psycho-Pass plan on adding their own marksmen barrel to drastically improve the range, along with computerized interface targeting scope to see and lock on to a target from a much farther range; their barrel will be short as to not increase the length of the weapon. Finally to deal with the time it takes to increase the power of a shot, Psycho-Pass is installing upgrade galven patterns. When a person wants a charge shot, a small change happens in the grip that shift the galven circuits to upgrades ones. The shift in the grips circuits happen in left than half a second and the amplification of the bolt itself take around half a second, thus charged shot takes less than a second.
That is why Naruto preordered the mark II Dominator, which according to the company may take anywhere from half a year to two years to make. So Naruto currently had to make do with a modified maser pistol and a modified pulse cannon as backup. They are somewhat exotic weapons that most of the galaxy doesn't use, which makes them interesting and dangerous as the enemy won't know what hit them.
A maser, which stood for Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, is a type of energy weapon, similar to but distinct from a laser. Masers used kinetic energy as well as laser energy to damage a target. Maser bolts carried much more momentum behind them than lasers, to the point that deflecting such a bolt might cause a lightsaber user to lose their grip on their weapon. They are mostly used by the Chiss, a tall blue skin near humanoid species that live in the Unknown Region that were once allies to the Resurgent Sith Empire.
Naruto's maser pistol has been modified so that it is faster firing rate, has more shots per cell, and more accurate. Upgraded galven pattern and enhanced repeater were some attachments that Naruto added. These attachments allowed the maser to fire at a faster rate without losing power. A computerized interfacing targeting scope was added for better accuracy. And finally a pure type Rylith power cell was used, along with a power enhancer allowing for twice the number of bolts to be fired than using a traditional blaster power pack; however overcharging caused the number to change.
The pulse cannon was a powerful rapid fire weapon that fired a concentrated bolt of fusion plasma, generally in the form of an incredibly fast moving small orb of blue or purple light. Generally not used by military forces due to their destructive nature, a pulse cannon inflicted extreme pain on its victim, quickly causing death as the extreme heat of the bolt burned through its victim. Due to the above average speed of the bolts, and the rate at which they could be discharged from a weapon, pulse cannons were often used to take out groups of stationary or fast moving targets.
Naruto's pulse cannon, is actually a more powerful variation called the phased pulse cannon. This variation had enough power to easily destroy a fast moving speeder bike; though the strength could be lowered. Like the maser, Naruto's pulse cannon was fitted with a computerized interfacing targeting scope. Naruto carried a marksmen barrel inside a scroll to attach to the pulse cannon to extend its range, and to make it a deadly sniping tool. Like on his maser a pure type Rylith power cell was used, along with a power enhancer, allowing for twice the number of bolts to be fired than using a traditional blaster power pack.
Naruto was jogged out his thoughts by the door opening, revealing Ros Lai. She and Naruto exchange greeting before she sat down and wait for the others to get there and the meeting to start. They didn't have to wait long as less than a minute later PX and Shisui came in chatting about blasters and jutsus, Naruto had no idea what how that conversation started and frankly didn't care. A few minutes later T3 came whirling in, beeping something to Naruto that he didn't under, before moving over to where there wasn't a chair. Finally right before the meeting was supposed to start HK came in, with his Droid Assassin's rifle on his back.
Naruto cleared his throat to get the attention of everyone in the room, even though most of were already looking at him. "Thank you all for coming to this meeting, I know it's a tedious thing to do, but we have some really important stuff on our agenda."
As Naruto pressed a few buttons on the console in front of him, HK spook and said, "Observation: Master Revan isn't here."
"That's right. He has something more important that he had to attend to. It will be discussed in this meeting, but for now let's talk about our biggest item" Naruto said as he finished with the console. In middle of the table the holo-projector came to life and started showing the Sith Emperor's Space Station, which Naruto and his group recovered. It was currently cloaked and in orbit around Jestefad.
"As you all know this is the space station that was formerly owned by the Sith Emperor. We discovered its existence after the reactivation of the Kaas City computers, where we traced it back to the station. Originally we were all surprised that it was whole and functional, because it was reported that it was destroyed. We retrieved it in hopes of find some use for it, a mobile home for us prophase.
"Unfortunately," Naruto said as he pressed another button on the console, which highlighted certain sections of the space station, "the ship didn't seem to be all that it appeared to be. While we thought that the station had fully repaired itself, using what we believe is a combination of Rakatan and Sith technology, it had not. Significant portions, over ten percent, were still damaged in fact. At the current rate of repair that the ship has, it is estimated that it would take an additional five hundred years for it to completely repair itself; maybe even longer if the repairs need the force to work faster. Now we could repair it ourselves, but is it worth it?"
"What if we use the Hammerhead-class cruiser that we found underground? Couldn't we use that to repair the station?" asked Shisui, really interested in the topic at hand.
"Unfortunately no, most of its resources are being put into Chu'unthor. Even if we hadn't used anything from the downed ship, the cruiser still wouldn't have been enough to fix more than half of the damage" answered Naruto.
"Do we really need the space station? I mean you already have a large ship that can hold an army" said Ros Lai, who didn't see the need to have another big toy, when the one they already had wasn't useful to them currently. While she could the reason why the other might want to keep it, it didn't make sense for them to do so. It was just taking up space and valuable resources trying to figure out what to do with it.
"Answer: No we don't need it, but we would lose valuable technology. Explanation: The ships cloaking device is of Gree technology, meaning that unlike the rest of the galaxy it doesn't rely on stygium crystal, thus the cloaking device can be used unlimited times. It was a hangar bay for an armada of stealth ships, which means it can become a staging point for an invasion later on. Then there's the power core, which has near infinite energy output, it's of Rakatan design. Finally its hold two and a half dozen Flux Cannons, a type of emplacement weapon developed by the Anomid Schism Collective that was able to destroy capital ships in a single blast; though against nowadays technology it's a maybe. Not to mention the military grade shielding, turbolasers, several other weapons, and experimental systems" HK said, listing all the advantages that the station had. He was for keeping it, it was basically one big weapon to him, and would help in completing the goals of his master.
This started a small argument between Ros Lai and HK. Naruto ignored what they were currently saying to think about what HK previously said, and agreed with him, all the technology the space station had was too precious to lose. While the group easily had the money to repair, there were several problems with following that option. First of the amount to repair the station would take no less than an eighth of their total account. Second off this would exposed them to galaxy, who no doubt would investigate the sudden appearance of thought to be destroyed space station. Finally, even if the galaxy were to ignore the station itself, the technology on it would; since it's still highly advance, even after three thousand years.
"Ok stop the bickering you two, we will leave what we will do with the station for later on. But I agree with HK, the technology it has is simply too great for us to simply abandon it or wait too long to repair it. Perhaps we will come back to the top at the end, after we get through all the other topics," Naruto said. Naruto then said, "Now onto the next time on the list, Chu'unthor" and started pressing a couple of the buttons on the console. Soon the image of the space station was replaced with the image of the large Jedi Academy ship they currently had hiding under a very large cloaking field.
"As you know, we acquire this ship when we went to Dathomir to obtain the knowledge that was inside it. Unfortunately the Nightsisters made everything complicated and I got kidnapped. And when I managed to escape, Ros Lai's family manage to send an army of the undead after us. We lost many HK-50 units that day, which is sad since to took time to make them. Surrounded and with no way to escape to Glitch, T3 managed to get the crashed academy ship flying once more. With it now in our possession, I resolved to have it repair, and not let it go to waste.
"Now as you know it was decided that we would use the crashed Hammerhead cruiser not too far from here as spare parts for repair our ship. Unfortunately we severally underestimate the sheer scope of the damage it had, along with overestimating the available parts we could scavenge from the cruiser." Naruto paused for a moment, hit a switch on the console which zoomed into a section on the holo-projected Chu'unthor. "Originally we thought that the damage only consisted of some moderate hull damage, some circuits that needed to be fix, and some fuel. We were dead wrong.
"On the projection before you, we see the ships main ion engine array. It has a total of five ion engines that fly the ship, two of those are a slightly smaller secondary engine system. Now while they look fine, they are in fact almost ready to fail. Several of its main components are damaged beyond believe, which was due to us using it to fly out of Dathomir so quickly. One of the secondary engines won't even start anymore, and if we fly the ship a couple more times, I don't doubt that all the engines will fall apart.
"Luckily for us the engines are Hoersch-Kessel ion drive, which are some of the most widely used sublight drives, they could easily be replaced and without spending a fortune; even if they are massive engines. We can install newer versions of the ion drives, which are slightly smaller, but more powerful. Chu'unthor can have a total of seven ion drives, all of which would be part of the main array. It speed will be twenty percent better than what it was previously. That is an easy fix, the other problems, not so much."
Naruto stop talking, and waited for anyone to say anything, questions, options, anything, but nobody said anything. Naruto pressed a button to show another section of the ship. Soon the project zoomed out of the area where the ion engines were and showed an overview of Chu'unthor. It didn't zoom into any other section of the ship, but highlighted several portions of the hull, all of which seemed to be mission.
"The hull as you can see is badly damaged, especially the front and underside of the ship. It is much worse than I thought it would be, because I mentally compared it to the crash of the Hammerhead cruiser. But I didn't take into account on major key detail in my comparison, the qualities of the hulls. The cruiser has a stronger hull, several times the strength of Chu'unthor, because the hull is reinforced and made to withstand the destruction of war. The Jedi praxeum ship on the other hand isn't, it has very minimal reinforcement, which is foolish to me, because the ship was built just after the end of the New Sith Wars" Naruto said, before causing some of the highlighted parts of the hull, to turn a different color.
Naruto continued by saying "These sections in green are sections we have already added the hull from the cruiser. It only covers about eight percent of the total twenty nine percent of damaged hull. Though we haven't completely finished, by T3's calculation, the hull of the cruiser will only cover at max twelve percent, though it is looking closer to ten. We can use the metals we gather from the lava flow to make more sections of hulls, though it will take nearly a year. Though it does bring up a problem, the difference between hull integrity. Seventy one percent of the ship's hull will be made of its original weak hull, ten to twelve percent will be made of the military grade metal, and finally seventeen to nineteen percent will be made of what metal alloy we can make; most likely it will be durasteel, making it slightly above average in strength.
"Now since we are talking about defense, let's talk about shielding. The quality is better than average compared to today's standards, though it might have been high grade nearly a thousand years ago. Normally I would say we should keep the shielding as is for now and replace them with better ones later on, as they can take a couple of direct hits easily. But the problem is that some of the circuits connecting the shielding array to the power core are damaged, which caused a power overload and fried the array after we used them escaping. The circuits and array are an easy fix, but after every activation of the shielding, they would have to be repair again. The shielding that's on the cruiser is better, but can't cover the entire ship," once Naruto finished that he heard Ros Lai mumble that Chu'unthor isn't worth saving.
Naruto continued on with the meeting like he didn't hear her. The next item on the list was the weapons of Chu'unthor, or more actually, the lack of them. The ship only had eight tractor beams as armaments, and they can't really be called weapons. The majority of the tractor beams was to aid ships in landing. The only way that they could possibly be used as a weapons was if the tractor beams strength was increased to crush ships, though it would only work on ship smaller than sixty meter.
They managed to add the weapon systems of the cruiser to Chu'unthor, but even with them, the ships attacking power was pathetic. Two of the cruiser's four dual heavy turbo laser cannons were placed at the front of the ship, on either side of the sensor and communication cluster. The final two were placed on the middle of each wing, one for each. The two quad laser cannons were placed on the center of the ship, near the bridge. Finally the two laser cannon batteries were placed on the wings, four to each wing; a battery powers four laser cannons. While the attacking power is about a thousand times better than what it was previously, it's still pretty bad for a ship of its size; a thousand time a percent of one percent, is still only one. Naruto states that they can't buy any large scale weapon system as people will start asking questions. Also there is the problem of the power core not supplying enough power for the weapons, since it was never made to handle such requirements.
Naruto then turned to the others in the meeting and asked for any suggestions onto handle the situation, should they take the long approach and use the meager factory at their disposal? Should they risk revealing themselves to have an operational capital ship? Or could they find another solution for the problem at hand?
Everyone agreed that they shouldn't risk revealing themselves just to fix the ship, that would be just stupid. Nobody liked the patient approach of using the small factory, which was mostly for droid assembly, it was far too long. So that left finding another solution for a problem that was similar to the before with the Emperor's space station. Naruto felt that it would end up in another argument, but surprisingly it didn't.
HK was the first to think of an answer to the problem of getting parts, materials, and weapons for Chu'unthor. He suggested that they should look at other crashed ships to gather parts, and with so many wars and battlefields it wouldn't be hard. Ros Lai commented that it would take very long to discreetly gather and transport the materials, about the same amount of time that it would take them just as long as it would build the parts they needed. The old assassin droid's answer to that was Lehon, the homeworld of the Rakata Empire.
HK stated that since the fall of the Infinite Empire people have accidently discovered the planet several dozen time, possible even hundreds. The reason why the galaxy never knew was because of the disrupter field that caused all starships to crash into the planet. Soon everyone knew what HK was hinting at, the planet was basically one giant graveyard of starships.
Soon the other were agreeing to follow HK's idea. It would allow them to not only repair their two kilometer ship, but also the space station. However Naruto quickly rejected the idea as unfavorable. When the other asked why, he told them that the ships were no doubt damage upon crashing to the surface of the planet, so that meant that the starships were no longer airtight or sealed. Since Lehon is mostly water, it meant that it was very humid, causing water damage to any ships that managed to crash on land. It also meant that most of the metal might be rusted completely, making it worthless.
Shisui tried to argue that they still should attempt to look for anything that could speed up the process. But Naruto stilled denied that they should ever go back to the planet. When pushed for answers, he revealed that the entire planet was completely covered in the darkside, including the crashed ships. He didn't want to take any of the parts because he was afraid that some of the pieces tainted by the negativity would affect the whole ship, or even worse the ship would gain a maleficent consciousness; like what happened to the Star Forge.
After that explanation everyone conceded to Naruto's point. PX drawing inspiration from HK's idea, suggested that they acquire material from Dromund Kaas. Naruto said that it would be a good idea, however he didn't find shipyards on the planet. He also didn't want to inform the Revanites about anything important, because even though they are 'loyal', Naruto isn't completely sure if it true; after all a lot can change in three thousand years.
T3 was the next one to suggest an idea, well he beeped out one and HK translated. His idea agreed with Ros Lai previous statement about them having too much on their hands to rebuild both the space station and the ship. However he also agreed with HK's statement on how they couldn't simply allow themselves to ignore such valuable technology and weaponry at their disposal. He suggested that they either used Chu'unthor as scrap parts to repair the space station or use the space station as scrap parts to fix Chu'unthor. T3 said that he thinks that they should repair Chu'unthor because it is a ship, and thus maneuverable and better for combat situations.
This idea surprised everyone, who were wondering why they didn't think of it before. They thought about what T3 was suggesting and conceded to his idea. It would allow them to kill two birds with one stone, they repair one of their items and still keep all the important technology; it also had the effect of moving the project along more quickly, since they only had to focus one project now. Naruto quickly put the idea to vote, and everyone agreed that they should use one as parts to fix the other. They also agreed that Chu'unthor should be repair, as it was a ship thus maneuverable and better for combat situations. They stared discussing were they should put the each weapon.
The technology inside the space fortress was extensive. When it was fully operational it had an array of weapons that were ahead of its time, they probably could have easily fight the most modern and advance star destroyer today to a standstill or even over power it. Its cloaking technology is still undetectable by almost every sensor, except the crystal gravfield trap.
Originally the space station had five tractor beams, to aid ships in landing on it. All these tractor beams are still operational, one of two armaments that weren't damaged at all; but it was something that Chu'unthor already has enough of. Three of its five ion cannons are in full working condition, though a fourth one might also be if the damage is minor like T3 thinks it is. One ion cannon will be placed in the underside of the front, another on the port side, the third in the starboard side, and if a fourth is salvaged then it will be placed on the direct center of the underside of the ship.
Three of the space stations Flux cannon were salvageable. One was placed at the end of each wing, and the last directly on top of the communication and senor array cluster.
Only eight of the original ten double turbolaser batteries are still functioning, there is saving the other two. Shisui asked if they could be changed for either quad turbolasers or heavy dual turbolasers, which he read about during his history lesson with PX, back on Obroa-skai. A quick search and some processing from Chisei and T3, revealed that it would be possible, though if they do quad the power of each bolt would weaken though rate of bolts would increase, while if they make it heavy dual the rate of bolts would decrease while power of each bolt would increase. They decided to leave that topic for a later meeting.
One each wing of Chu'unthor three double turbolaser batteries were placed, though one was on the underside. The last two were placed in the front, just behind the sensor clusters, one on the top side, one on the underside. This meant that the front had a total of four double turbolasers, and each wing had four also; if you account for the double turbolasers installed from the Hammerhead cruiser.
As for the twelve turbolaser batteries, they weren't arranged like their dual counterparts. Six of the twelve were placed all around the underside of the ship, this was to protect the underside and allow easy space to surface attacks. The rest of the turbo lasers were spread around the top center, they were mostly to protect the hospital center, computer core, bridge, and navigation wing.
The quad laser cannons were the second armament that didn't suffer any losses, all twenty were still functional. The majority of these cannons were to be placed on the rear of the ship. They would prevent and protect the ion engines of the ship, along with the back of the ships wings. However there was some risk in that turbolasers could accidently fire shots that would hit the other side, though hopefully that problem could be resolved. Four of them were be placed in front of the entrance to the ship's hangar bay.
The final weapon system to be discussed were the launchers, both proton torpedoes and concussion missile launchers. Unfortunately only four of the twenty torpedo launchers were functional, and only fourteen of the thirty concussion missile launchers worked. The proton torpedo launchers were decided to be placed on two on each side. The concussion missile launchers on the other hand weren't as easy. In the end it was though best that two clusters of three launchers be placed on either side, while the final two be placed on the underside.
The shielding system along with the Gree cloaking technology were also going to be moved on to the Chu'unthor. They would take some time to be placed, as they were specifically designed to be used on the Emperor's space fortress by the Anomid Schism Collective. It would take some time for Chisei to figure out exactly how to install them. This would delay the project for some time because most likely it would be one of the first systems installed.
Now the majority of these systems had their own power generator, a mid sized fusion reactor. However they still would draw the majority if their power from the ships central power core, which is currently not enough. Thankfully the space fortress has a powerful Rakata power core that could easily supply continuous maximum power to the ship for half a year nonstop. Recharging the power core usually takes a week, though the process could be accelerated easily by having the ship take in some solar energy; though it would still take a minimum of four days. However if power is used wisely there would be no need to stop, the power core is practically limitless. Maximum uses would be nonstop firing of all weapons, shielding constantly up, and under cloaking field.
"Wow that is one impressive power source, it could easily power a planet for forever" commented Shisui, with Ros Lai, PX, and T3 agreeing.
"Statement: Or a very large weapon" HK countered. It was no surprise to anyone that HK made it, since he was an assassin droid with a fetish for weapons, the more destructive the better it was for him.
"Yep, though it would have to be a small colony. A planet like Coruscant would probably use it all up in a two weeks or a month. Truthfully there are some stronger generators, like a Hypermatter annihilator or I-a2b solar ionization reactor. However they do have their own flaws, like hypermatter is costly and the I-a2b solar ionization reactor is about three to four times the size of the Raka-" Naruto said before he stop midway of the sentence and got a strange look over his face briefly. Naruto then turned to the door and created a clone before leaving in a hurry.
The clone turned to the others and saw the questioning gaze, and said "Sorry guys something important came up, and the boss needs to deal with it right away. He can handle it by himself don't worry about it, I will continue on with the meeting." Ros Lai tried to ask what was going on, but the clone just ignored the question and moved on to the next topic, which was Chisei and the Rakata computer he found on Lehon, which contained all the information of the Infinite Empire.
"What about them? Chisei is a supercomputer, according to you, that we found on the ship. And the other one is apparently also a supercomputer and holds all the information of a lost forgotten empire. What else is there to know about them?" asked Shisui.
"We only need one of them, having two seems redundant, however I didn't know which to get rid of, they each have their own strengths. Like Chisei, she is considered to be the most advanced supercomputer in the modern world, can connect to hundreds of millions, if not billions, of computers systems and mainframes. Her disadvantage is that she is very large, literally taking up an entire room to house her, and very low memory capacity comparted to the Rakatan computer.
"The Rakata computer that was located on Lehon on the other hand is much smaller than Chisei, about a third of her size and weight. It has huge memory capacity, nearly infinite thanks to its memory core being a crystal similar to those in holocrons. It has huge tremendous processing speeds and can think for itself, though it doesn't do anything unless asked or ordered. It also has other advantages such as a built-in holo-projector and some type of sensor system. However it doesn't have Chisei's ability to connect to other systems and mainframes, unless they are of Rakata design and no more than ten at a time.
"So what should I do?" the shadow clone of Naruto asked with a small grin, like it was hiding something.
"What if we combine the two? So that they could have all the pros and none of the cons" stated PX.
"I have already sort of done that" the clone said. Seeing that everyone was slightly confused it continued, "Well you see I linked the two of the together with a high speed data transfer cable to have all the information Chisei acquire downloading into the Rakata computer, because it could sort through and organize the information faster and better. The two systems start to act together slightly, so I created more connects between them, so they could act more in sync. The end result was that basically both of the AIs combined with each other and are now housed in both computers. I currently have Chisei design a new supercomputer body that could do everything the other two did, after which Chisei will upload itself to it."
"Question, why did you ask us for our opinion of the situation if you had already made a plan? And I thought you said that they were fused, why are you only talking about Chisei?" asked PX.
"I value the group's opinion, and I wanted to see if you could come up with a better idea. As for Chisei, the combined AIs seemed to keep the name, not wanting a new one when I offered. Now anyone else have anything to say about this topic?" Naruto asked, thinking that the topic was over after he revealed that he had already combined them and had it building a better supercomputer for it to house. The joined computers now have the complete data of both the Infinite Empire and the Resurgent Sith Empire, so it was bound to create a very powerful system. But he was wrong as he heard T3, beep out something.
"Translation: You should have them consider some of the Gree technology from the space station. They technology is very advance" HK translated for Naruto.
"Hm, I hadn't considered that, since we just agreed that we weren't going to use the space station, but it's a good idea. Now if that all on the subject," Naruto paused briefly to see if anyone had anything more to say, before continuing to, "let move onto the next topic today, the thing Shisui discovered in Kaas City." With that said an image of what appeared to be an eyeball with for wing on it appeared on screen.
"What is that?" asked Ros Lai.
"It's a ship," Naruto responded. Glancing around he saw some disbelief, "A very old ship, from the original Sith Empire, from five thousand years ago. Back then they want to intimidate everyone. It's somewhat impressive that it has survived this long; though it might be that the Sith Emperor had kept one after the fall of the Old Sith Empire."
HK immediately asked, "Question: What are its capabilities?"
"At the heart of the meditation sphere used by Naga Sadow was the Sith Lord's meditation chamber. The chamber had jagged walls that sloped inwards and at the center the Sith Lord would crouch and focus his dark side powers that allowed him to amplify his intentions and send them out over great distances to control his armies and ensure victory for his forces. Thanks to the Sphere, the Dark Lord could create Illusions and make them real enough to cause damage, giving him an edge in battle. It was said that in his chamber he was able to see the whole galaxy laid out and monitor the progress of his minions. A giant holoscreen on the wall displayed more detailed tactical information. According to the file I read from Chisei.
"From what I have been able to gather, the ship has several interesting features. First off even though its role is that of a command ship, its overall seems more like a starfighter. It is incredibly fast and agile, I don't doubt that it could keep up with modern starfighters very easily. It has the capability to enter hyperspace, even though I found no indications of a hyperdrive system. It has no control system, everything is guide through the use of the Force. Second off, the mediation ship's weapons are supposed to be laser cannons and a magnetic accelerator, but this one has its accelerator changed for a plasma cannon; though it really looks like a hybrid of the two. Finally the most important feature is that somehow the ship has gained sentience."
"What!?" everyone else said.
"How is that possible, it's a machine!?" yelled Shisui, before he turned to PX, T3, and HK and said, "No offense to you guys."
"None taken, though I do agree with you. Are you sure that it doesn't just have an AI?" asked PX.
"No I am sure. Though it shouldn't come too much of a surprised as the Force is mysterious. This has already happened before, with the Star Forge remember, it inherited its evilness from tis creators" reminded Naruto. "It told me it's sensed the dark side within me and offered to teach me on how to release my full power and potential."
"I caution use of such a ship. There is no telling what the dark side has done to it and what abilities it now has," Ros Lai cautioned.
"Agreed, though Revan and I think we can change it, either through the force, or with an AI installation. It is a marvelous weapon and no doubt has great abilities and tactics if it has survived so long and gained sentience. Anyways onto the next group of items to discuss, what PX found in the Imperial Citadel, which were all Sith artifacts, very powerful and useful ones at that" Naruto said as he switched the image on the screen from the eyeball shaped ship to five items, before four of them shrunk and moved to the bottom of the screen. The image that didn't shrink was a gauntlet composed of five linked oval plates composed of a black metal, each capped with a red gem. The middle three plates had gold tassels hanging on the sides.
Before Naruto could say anything Shisui spoke up and said, "Hey that's the Gauntlet of Kressh the Younger. A Sith artifact created during the time of the old Sith Empire by the Sith Lord Ludo Kressh to make his son, Elcho, invincible." Shisui not hearing anything looked around and saw everyone looking at him with questioning looks.
Shisui gave a small awkward and started rubbing the back of his head, a nervous habit he picked up from Naruto, and said "It was a lesson that was covered by PX when he was teaching me basic and the history of the galaxy." Shisui then changed to a serious look as he looked towards the gauntlet and continued, "If I remember correctly when worn on the user's forearm, the Gauntlet had the power of preventing anything from touching the wearer without his or her consent, blasting aside anything that attempted to do so with a surge of Dark Side energy. Its protection was sufficient to defend the wearer from a lightsaber strike. In addition to providing protection, it also enabled the wearer to purposely direct such blasts towards chosen targets on a whim, without even needing to turn and face them."
Seeing that was all Shisui was going to say PX added, "However, the Gauntlet's protection was not absolute. As it only protected the wearer from things that didn't receive his consent, he could still be attacked by those who do. Also, one had to be wearing the Gauntlet for it to take full effect; simply holding it would not do. But I thought it was lost during the fight of the True Covenant by the Jedi High Council member Lucien Draay?"
"Well then Lucien Draay didn't hide it very well if Darth Thanaton was able to find it. We will test the limits of the gauntlets abilities, as just following what history or rumors say might get us killed. Now then if you were able to recognize that artifact, then you should easily recognize a couple of the others. The next one doesn't have much information" Naruto said as he shrunk and brought up another image. This one was essentially a shortened shoulder cape that doesn't cover the front of the body at all. The material looked yellow flesh, looking similar to the Sith meditation sphere metal, that is seemingly tattooed with a complex array of Sith symbols. It goes from about three inches down an arm where it then goes up onto of the shoulder and across behind the head, over the other shoulder to hang down three inches on the opposite arm.
Shisui had no idea what it was but knew that it was strange looking. "It's the Yoke of Seeming Master," answered PX. "As you said not much is known about it, other than it was said to be able to make one appear as anyone or anything, although it burned the flesh while doing it. And that it pre-dates the arrival of the Dark Jedi Exiles."
Naruto merely nodded at what PX said, having nothing to add. The third artifact was that of a helmet. The helmet looked to be fashioned out of the skull of a creature with a pair of large horns, easily twice the height of the skull. However unlike the previous artifacts, this one was heavily damaged. One of the horns was snapped clear off in half. There were cracks, fissures, and chips all along the skull.
"Answer: That is the Helm of Dathka Graush. It amplified the wearer's abilities to wield the Force, and possibly strengthened the Sword of Ieldis. It also caused atmospheric disturbances within a radius of six kilometers. The helm was destroyed in the explosion of the Sanctum of the Exalted," HK said before anyone else could. He quickly saw that everyone was giving him strange looks and said, "Explanation: I like to study battles, mostly those that cause great amounts of destruction. The artifact just happen to be a powerful weapon covered in the reports I studied while under Master Revan during his original Sith Campaign."
"That sounds like something you would do. And you were correct in what you said about the Helm. The only thing I have to add is that it was thought to be destroyed in the last battle," the clone said as he then switched to the image of a gem on a black cord necklace.
"This artifact I doubt any of you know, since its ability is passive, though could be increased when actively. The necklace, particularly the gem, is called the Needle of XoXaan, a dark side healing artifact. The wearer of the necklace has their healing ability increased to two and a half times their species regular healing capability. That was passively, but by channeling the force through it, one could increase its effects. However legend states that it should be able to go infinitely time the capability, granting immediate and instant regeneration, thus granting immortality. Though according to Darth Thanaton's notes he only got up to four times the capability."
"So what are the negative effects of the artifact? It is Sith made after all, and they all thrive in negative emotions and feelings such as pain, fear, and anger; to name a few" asked Ros Lai. She knew that such an artifact with abilities this one had, had to have some down side.
"We are not totally sure. But there are two possibilities according to the legends we found. One is a user must use the gem as a needle to act like they are stitching up the injury, which would be painful, the gem is as thick as a finger. The other possibility is that after the healing process the user will fly into a fury of berserk rage, attacking all those around him. But like I said, we don't know if that's true," he finished off, before going onto the last sith artifact that PX found.
It was a broken sword, there was two pieces. The first was the hilt, which was made of some golden metal with a red gem, and a portion of the blade still connected. The second piece was the rest of the sword, though on could tell that not all pieces were recovered.
"Identification: It's the Sword of Ieldis, a Sith sword."
"Hey I remember that from the lesson of the Yoke of Seeming, the Gauntlet of the Kreesh the Younger, and the Helm of Dathka Graush; they were all used by Hazen. It is said that the Helm of Dathka Graush can empower the sword, though it doesn't specify. What I found strange was that there is another Sith artifact called the Helm of Ieldis and it's not the one that that empowers the sword" said Shisui.
"I actually wondered about that too, but I can't give you an answer for that. The sword by itself was a decent piece of Sith magic, being sharp and nearly unbreakable. But when combined with the Helm of Dathka Graush it truly became a powerful weapon for a man. The sword channels the power of the helmet and then use it to vastly increase a person's attack through the sword, causing a beam of destruction. If a person uses Force Lightning, then it shoots concentrated beams of lightning that explode and shock those nearby. If using Force Push, then it will simply crush or fling you.
"Now that was all the artifacts we were able to identify. We have several more to go through, though they don't seem as promising as these. The other one we found was a necklace that allows you to translate the Sith language" the clone of their leader said as he moved on to the final important instrument found on Dromund Kaas.
The object was ovoid, looking like an egg, but the bottom part cut off to make it flat. The object was brown with red, sea-green, and light blue line designs all over the egg. It had metal plates attached all over, but they didnt cover anything. It had the small cylinder like object protruding from it, near the center; they could have been to connect tubing, pipes, or cables to it. Finally there was what appeared to be black metal tubing surrounding the places where there was metal plating. The tubing had glowing blue lights coming out and then back along the object.
"Now this is probably the most important thing that we could have found in our trip. It's called the Infinite Engine, because it could possible create an entire galaxy if given enough time and resources. This one was one of several that were part of the Rakatan's greatest weapon, the Star Forge. It's the last one in existence now that the Star Forge was destroyed," Naruto explained the strange looking device.
"How does it work?" asked Ros Lai and PX, who glanced towards each other briefly. Instead of Naruto answering, it was HK who did so.
"Explanatory Answer: The Infinite Engine works on the same principles as a Gree Material Synthesis. They both reconfigure matter on a molecular level by changing its nuclear structure. This technology allowed the Gree to take simple basic elements such as silicon, carbon, and hydrogen to create rarer and more valuable isotopes and elements. The difference between the two is that the Infinite Engine can grow using the material to increase its ability. This particular one was the size of a human head originally when Master Revan took it from the Star Forge. It grew to the size of a room in three hundred years though it was only using the limited resources of people sacrificed to it" Explained HK.
"So basically we have the Star Forge already?" asked Shisui.
"No the Infinite Engine only makes elements and compounds from existing ones, it doesn't actually shape the material, besides the small parts needed to improve itself. So those machines still need to be assembled, but now we don't have to worry about building one of the key components. Technically we all have infinite resources and credits, we just need to feed materials in it and precious and/or rare metals come out," Naruto then pause and started thinking before saying "I think that concludes the meeting today."
As everybody started to leave the clone's thoughts turned to Raven, before he remembered something important that he had to discuss. "Wait everyone," Naruto shouted, calling everyone back into the room, "I fought to tell you one more think. It's about the ships and woman we found on board, near that space anomaly. There was something strange about the woman that Revan felt, and after some test and experiments we have discovered something very interesting, the woman and her ships are from the future."
This shocked everyone, because time-travel was impossible, it has never happened to their knowledge. Almost immediately they started asking questions about how it was possible and how could they use this to their advantage. Naruto tried to answer all the questions the best he could, but even he didn't have all the facts.
"So we have a woman from the future?" asked Shisui, still somewhat in a daze.
"Yes for the four time" the clone said, not showing how ticked off he was getting with the repeated question.
"This is great, we can ask her all about what's going to happen and use it to our advantage to further our plans" said Ros Lai, interested in talking to the woman.
"That may be a problem" said Naruto, which got him strange looks. "She appears to be a Jedi, a powerful one at that, and frankly we are somewhat tainted in darkside, so I doubt she will trust us. Then there is the fact that she is slowly dying, even though we currently have her in a stasis chamber."
This got a shocked response from several of them, as they knew that stasis chambers put a person under suspended animation, where they could technically live forever in that state, depending on the quality of the chamber. "What's wrong with her and what's causing it?" asked PX.
"According to Revan her body is retrograding, ie de-aging itself until it's the same age as her current self. We don't know when she will stop. It may stop after de-aging her a few years, or until she is unborn, depending how far into the future she's form. As for what's causing it, it's the force. Revan is current trying to find a way to save her, so that we may have the knowledge she has, or if all else fails, we will preserve her knowledge."
HK was the next person to ask a question, though he could careless about the Jedi that was about to die. No he want information on something he considered more important and useful. "Question: What about the ships that came along with her? What are their abilities and can we use them?"
"I will tell you what Revan told me, after he looked through the ships' data cores. The first ship is called the Jade Shadow, a highly modified Horizon-class Star Yacht. Like thousands of star yachts that cruised the galaxy, the Jade Shadow was built around a sturdy frame that was fairly wide at the engines and tapered off until it reached the narrow, triangular cockpit. The bridge was designed for a pilot, copilot, and navigator; however the ship was equipped with several support features to allow one pilot to operate the starship alone. Above the cockpit was a large, transparisteel canopy that provided breathtaking views of space, and a crystal clear image of hostile starships.
"A pair of retractable Corellian Engineering Corporation AG-1G laser cannons were installed. The cannons were mounted on turrets which allowed them to have a wide firing arc, and were equipped with stutter-fire capabilities. They also equipped the vessel with two concealed Dymek HM-8 concussion missile launchers, each carrying magazines of eight high-yield missiles. The ship also sported a retractable blaster cannon. The ship had been upgraded with state of the art weapons tracking systems and a unique shoot back system that would detect the angle of incoming enemy shots and return fire back along the projected route.
"Many of the Jade Shadow's systems are voice-activated. When piloting the craft, system data was displayed on unobtrusive holograms synced to a retinal tracker, which positioned these readouts just outside the pilot's forward line of sight. All of the weapons systems on board were connected to a central targeting computer that was configured with many different options and settings; one of the most notable was the "shoot-back" setting, which directed the ship's targeting computer to automatically shoot down any craft that opened fire on the ship.
"The owner also added an autopilot system, which was programmed with a variety of evasive maneuvers. Included in the additions was an advanced long-range sensor suite, complete with port and starboard visual scanners, jamming devices, sensor decoys and false transponder codes, which allowed the ship to slip through defenses without revealing who her true owner was. The woman also added a powerful, albeit costly, holographic communications array that had enough range to send and receive messages from Coruscant to the Outer Rim Territories. Along with a remote-controlled slave circuit, that could summon the ship over short distances.
"Custom work has been done to increase the Jade Shadow's speed, fine-tuning the twin ion drives and reworking the hyperdrive to allow speed on par with that of the fastest. However, the Jade Shadow's towing capacity was more limited due to her yacht-class drive units. The aft docking bay have been reconfigured to contain an entire starfighter, as we found one attached to it. The Jade Shadow also allowed for an astromech droid to plug into and fly the ship at a droid station located on the flight deck" Naruto finished explaining.
HK stood there silently before saying, "Impressed Statement: Now that's my type of ship. But what of the shielding and hyperdrive?"
Naruto amused by HK response easily answered with "The hyperdrive system is military grade with a modified hyperdrive motivator. This allows the ship to reach a hyperdrive rating speed of 0.5, with a back of a class 10. The hull is armored and non-reflective. The shielding is military grade, allowing it to stand an onslaught of hits before it takes damage."
T3 then let out a series of beeps and whirls, which PX translated for Naruto, though Naruto thought he was getting some words that T3 was saying. "What of the other ship?"
"The other ship we have very little on, we don't have a similar ship current on file, but that just means that they might just make it later on. The ship has the design for a starfighter, possible interceptor class, but with technology that would be found on a stealth ship; its class is simply the StealthX. It featured equipment that hid the craft both visually and from sensors, though the craft's position was given away if proton torpedoes were used or if the pilot broadcasted over the comlink. It seems that the StealthX was used exclusively by Jedi, as the restrictions on comm usage made it nearly impossible for anyone other than a Jedi to coordinate with other forces.
"The StealthX had a star-flecked body of irregular, matte-black fiberplast that rendered it almost invisible against a background of stars; we are taking scans of this for future uses. What appears to be a former third torpedo launcher has been replaced by a gravitic modulator designed to defeat mass-detectors, and its shields had been downgraded to make room for a suite of sensor negators, photon absorbers, and thermal dissipaters. Tts fusial engines had been retooled to burn a special tibanna isotope, designated TibannaX, whose efflux turned dark a millisecond after fusion. The viewports utilized blast-tinting technology.
"The standard proton torpedoes were often replaced with called a Jedi shadow bombs, if they were available. A Jedi shadow bomb was essentially a proton torpedo with the guidance package and propellant fuel replaced by packed baradium. Instead of locking onto a target and firing the shadow bomb like a normal torpedo, the Jedi, or any force user, utilized the weapon with use of the Force to propel the bomb into an enemy ship. The extra explosives stored within each missile vastly increased their individual destructive power; a pair of well-placed shadow bombs could cleave a corvette in half.
"The StealthX could also carry glop bombs, which released a quick-hardening foam upon detonation, and two-stage armor-piercing bunker-buster bombs. The advanced R9-series astromech droids were assigned to assist the pilots with the special requirements of this unique craft; currently to date the company only has achieve R3-series astromech droids. And that's all for now," the clone said as he started shutting things down "you are free to do whatever, except Ros Lai."
Ros Lai raised her eyebrow in confusion and said "Why us? What do we need to do?"
"The boss thinks it time to see how you are progressing with you whip train. You will spar with Shisui, who will evaluate your progress so far, which will allow the boss to determine if you are ready for the lightwhip" the clone explained to Ros Lai, before turning towards Shisui to give him his instructions. "Shisui, I want to take the battle seriously, but don't go overboard. So no jutsus of any kind, no sharingan, and no chakra enhancements. Also don't try to cause any serious damage to her. That is all, you all are dismissed."
The clone ended the meeting and dispelled.

(With the Real Naruto)
After creating the clone to continue the meeting, Naruto quickly hurried along the hall way to find a room where he could mediate. It took him less than a minute to find a small repair lab, which mostly focusing on droids it seems. While it wouldn't be exactly comfortable, it would have to do.
Naruto quickly got against the wall and proceeded to free his mind of all non-important thoughts. Channeling a bit of the Force to help with the process, Naruto soon felt calm and free. Opening his eyes, he saw himself laying against the wall with eyes close, almost like he was resting.
Naruto wasn't part of the living right now, he was one with the Force.
Quickly feeling the sensation that was calling out to him, Naruto focused on it and allow it to pull him towards the caller; it was Izumi and she didn't look good.
Izumi was crouching against a tree, where her Anbu uniform that she showed him a few times. That wouldn't have been bad or suspicious if she wasn't also panting heavily, had numerous small wounds, had dangerously low chakra, and was about to surrounds by a hundred or so men, all carrying crude weapons. Normally Izumi could handle these bandits easily, but in her current health, it was doubt full.
Wanting to know how this happened, Naruto scanned her recent memories using the link that existed between them. Naruto saw how she was given an A-rank mission by his father, to clean out a local bandit army near the border of Fire and Wind country. The camp was reported to have several low ranking nuke-nins, but what really warranted the high rank was that the Fire Daimyō. Apparently the bandits were causing trouble for merchants coming from Suna, so the Daimyō paid for the mission to be done quickly.
Unfortunately no one knew that there were several high ranking nuke-nins controlling the lower ones and the bandits, along with recruiting all nearby bandits, mercenaries, and generally scum of the earth to work for them and their growing army. By the time Izumi arrived to take out the camp, there were close to two hundred soldiers, a dozen C and D rank nuke-nins, two B-ranks, and finally the leader who was a mid A-rank nuke-nin from Kumo. What was worse, was that the ninjas had been teaching the bandits very basic chakra manipulation to improve their attack capabilities. Nothing too difficult, just some basic chakra enhancements and channeling some chakra to use weak explosion seals.
When Izumi arrived, she was taken back by the incorrect information that was given to her about the camps capabilities, which she thought of either returning to report the huge increase of activity or just wait for some back up. But soon she saw a chance that would give her a huge advantage and make the mission less dangerous, the leader of the camp left it to go check an isolated area where he horded several items that none of the other knew about; which just shows you that you can't trust anyone.
As the leader had his back turned and guarded dropped, Izumi moved in for the kill; and kill she did. Unfortunately before the nuke-nin managed to die, he released a brief chakra pulse, no doubt the start of a jutsu. That pulse was felt by one of the nuke-nins in the nearby camp, who quickly sounded the alarm.
Almost immediately Izumi was surround by a couple of lower ranked missing nins, which see managed to take out quite quickly. Unfortunately just immediately after she was done with them she was attacked by one of the two B-ranked lieutenant, acquiring a shallow cut from his blade; unfortunately that was enough. This B-rank was formerly of Kusa and was a poison expert.
Izumi no knowing that fact, kept up on her attacks. Soon both lieutenant were taken out after a brief but intense jutsu battle. Catching her breath, Izumi soon realized that she has much lower amount of chakra than she had thought. She was also out of breath for a fight that shouldn't have. Hearing the bandits closing in, Izumi thought a retreat was the best option until she could recuperate and figure out what's wrong with her.
Unfortunately the nuke-nins and bandits managed to follow through the woods quite easily as she slowed down due to exhaustion. The enemy capitalized on her weakness and tried to attack her with weapons such as kunais, shurikens, and arrows. Izumi leaped down from the tree to dodge the weapons. Izumi stayed behind the tree as she took out a few of the oncoming enemies with her own kunais and shurikens.
Suddenly sensing something appear next to her, Izumi tensed and quickly thrusting her blade towards the person near her. However she felt no resistance against her tantō, but not sensing the presence moving, Izumi looked towards it. To her surprised it was Naruto, though he was glowing bluish and had her blade through him; though he wasn't wounded. Surprised and wanting to know how he was there, but was stopped when she heard, 'Izumi calm down I'm here to help you. Here this should stop the progress of the poison in you.'
Naruto then placed his hand on her before started channeling Force Heal in to her, using the little skill he has to boost her own body's strength. One could literally see Izumi getting better. But before she could fully be cured, the bandits got to close for comfort, 'Shit! Izumi quickly use my power to push them back. Then create a clone, I will take of the rest!' Naruto said to her. Naruto changed the Healing Force that he was channeling into just pure Force energy.
Izumi who was receiving that energy was surprised and somewhat uncomfortable with the energy of the Force flowing into so forcefully. As the bandits got closer, Izumi didn't know what to do to use her new found power to defeat the horde of enemies. Suddenly she heard Naruto instructing her how to use the Force to repel her enemies.
The large amount of energy that was given to her by Naruto started to grow dark, like it was made of negative intent. The Force powers start to be compressed into a tightly coiled ball inside her. The pressure of keeping it the power highly compressed was starting to strain with in her being.
'Now!' Naruto yelled to her. Izumi then flung her arms forward, while at the same time releasing the powerful Force ball. The power immediately rushed out from her creating a blast of energy that vaporized anyone who got too close to her. Even those who escaped direct contact with the blast were pushed asunder by the power's backlash, flinging them back; some were unlucky to be smashed into a tree, killing or serious hurting them.
Izumi was in a daze at the sheer destruction that she unleash, while she had done more damage than this before, it was a shock that is could do it so easily in her weaken state. Still trying to understand what was happening, she almost didn't hear Naruto telling her to create a clone. Reaching into her no longer rapidly depleting chakra pools, Izumi quickly went through the hand seal to bring forth her clone.
"Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu!" (Water Clone Technqiue) Izumi said as she spat out water for the clone to form. As the clone started to form, she saw that Naruto had jumped into the jutsu, which stopped forming for a split second, before it finally took on it form. But it didn't look like that of its creator, but of Naruto, if he was where wearing Anbu clothing and had a katana.
After forming the water clone inhabited by Naruto use Force speed to enhance he speed running at. Near instantly he was upon the not yet recovered thugs and low rank missing nins that made up the bandit camp. He sliced, slashed, and stabbed his way through any living human that was in his path. By the time the majority of the bandits recovered, Naruto had taken out thirty men, a quarter of the forces that were previously after her.
But the recovery did little to stop Naruto as he took out the chakra-less thugs as easy as when they were on the ground, barely slowing down as he ducked and dodge their wild attacks. The D-ranked ninjas were hardly any better, but they did take a few more seconds to take down that the other cannon folders. Unfortunately by the time Naruto had cut half way through the army, he was losing steam; since this wasn't his own body he couldn't use chakra and this out of body experience limit the amount of Force he could use.
Naruto was now surround by what was left of the once 'powerful' bandit camp. These were slightly smarter and more dangerous bandits than the other ones, at least they were smart enough to stay back will the weaklings tired him out. He also now had to deal with the C-rank nins that could no doubt keep up with him, now that he didn't have his boost.
Sensing that he would need a little more help, Naruto reached out and started draining some of the Force from his opponents. This drainage is very little compare to what a master could do, he could barely offset the cost of the technique normally, though here he had multiple enemies to drain from.
Instead of using the now acquired energy on speeding up his physical form, Naruto decided to instead heighten his perception with Force Reflex. Everything start to slow down in Naruto's eye, like it had did when he was using Force Speed, but this was far slower. An unknown benefit of Force Reflex for Naruto at this time was that because his current body was made of water, it had no true shape, and thus no true body/reflex limit.
Soon Naruto was flowing around the blades of his enemy taking them out just as easily as he had been doing before. In mere minutes all of the thugs were dead, along with a handful of D-rank nuke-nins, but unfortunately none of the C-ranks were brought down. They certainly made it harder it fight with them firing a few ninjutsus here and there, along with their better trained taijutsu.
Just as Naruto was about start fighting the dozen or so remaining ninjas, he froze. It wasn't that he was scare or anything as ridiculous as that, no what had happen was that he just receive the memories of the clone he created for the meeting, telling him that it ended.
Unfortunately the momentary stillness was caught on by his enemies, which moved to eliminate the source of their current trouble. Before Naruto could recover his enemies were upon him with their weapons. Naruto quickly tried to dodge the attacks, but was only successful for the first few before one of the nuke-nin managed to impale a sword into his back, which exited through his front. The others not taking a chance, did the same.
Having less than a split second to think about what to do next, Naruto managed to come up with a plan to hopefully end his fight. Gathering the rest of his mostly depleted Force energy, Naruto converted most of it into Force Lightning, but prevented it from being unleash. The rest of the Force energy was converted into a small Force Bomb inside him.
Before his water clone body could completely change back into it formless and mostly motionless state, Naruto detonated the Force Bomb inside him to cover his enemies in the liquid. Next he unleashed the built up Force Lightning seconds after the explosion. The electricity ran down the weapons of the enemies, shocking them, lighting them up briefly.
Naruto hoped that the Force Lightning was enough to take out the nuke-nins permanently, as he had no more power to help Izumi; the initial Force Destruction drained a large amount of his power. But it seems like it wasn't enough as he heard the nuke-nins groaning, and starting to pick themselves up. However it seems like he had nothing to worry about, as shurikens suddenly found themselves in the throats of all the remaining opponents.
Naruto turn and saw Izumi leaning against a tree with her arm stretched out, clearly indicating that she was the one that through the shurikens. She saw him looking out her and smiled at him, Naruto smiled back out her. He then said 'Nice job Izumi. I would love to stay and chat, but this battle has drain me. We will talk at a later time. Goodbye.' With that said Naruto fade away, to reunite with his body.
"Goodbye Naruto" Izumi said softly after Naruto left.

Naruto's body was still in the closet, waiting for his Force spirit to return to it. When Naruto did return to it, his body shiver. Naruto slowly got up, stretching his body to get rid of the stiffness and tingling sensation he felt. Walking out the closet, Naruto checked what time it was, since he had a meeting with Revan after finishing up the other meeting.
After checking a digital clock, Naruto saw that he had a few minutes until then. Figuring that he didn't have any time to do anything else, Naruto headed towards the room where he was working on Chisei. He soon arrived to the room where he was to meet Revan a few minutes early.
Entering the room Naruto immediately saw several things that changed. First was the large amount of cables connecting the two supercomputer. The second was a stasis chamber that contained the red head female jedi; Naruto noticed that the woman looked younger than when they originally found her, about 5 years younger. The next change was that there were several HK-50s station around the room, all had blasters ready to take out any threat that may come about. The final change, which was the strangest of them all, was that there was a fiber-photon connected to the Jedi's head to Chisei.
Naruto knew that fiber-photon cord was a biotechnological device that was developed by the Rakata and could be used to transfer memories into sentient individuals; it is called the Mindspear. Using the knowledge acquire from Chisei, Revan managed to modified the Mindspear to allow Chisei to download the Jedi's complete memory.
Seeing Revan, who was inhabiting a clone of his, near the stasis chamber, Naruto approached him and said "So how is it going?"
"We are done, I'm just making sure that everything is ready. Should we start now?" Revan answered, before putting away the holo-pad he was checking.
"Can we still use her later on? Or will she be brain dead?" asked Naruto.
"We are just copying her memories, not taking them, so she should be completely fine."
"Good, if we can find a cure for her deaging then we can use her. Anyways start the download of memories" Naruto order. Chisei responded with an affirmative, in the Rakatan language, before starting up the mindspear. Naruto merely watched on as the jedi started squirming as they copied her memories.
Hey guys it me, Forgottenkami, obviously. It's been a little more than two months since I released half of this chapter for about twenty-four hours for my birthday, and more than four months since chapter 11 was released. I know what you almost be thinking, pathetic, I agree. But something about summer vacation makes a person feel lazy; though me being with my father in New York hasn't made this easier. Most of you didnt like the fact that there was so much talk about technology in the first half, but unfortunately I didn't change that. Though I hope that the small fighting scene I entered near the end made up for it, though I doubt it will.
This story is going on hold as I am going to start some other stories. Don't worry I am not going to abandon this, I have too much invested in this story. I plan on writing the first arcs of each stories, before going back to this story and continuing it. The next two stories are going to be Naruto/Marvel stories, mostly focusing on the X-Men side, but will include other comics such as Avengers, Spiderman, Wolverine, ect.
After the Marvel stories it will most likely be a Naruto/DxD story. This story is based off of "Ninja in a Devil's World" by Hail Emperor Naruto; with his permission by the way. Before any of you ask, yes Naruto will be a Devil, yes he will be part of Rias' Peerage. However what will be different is that Naruto will not like Rias very much in the beginning, so she will have to work on their relationship. Issei is also not going to be part of Rias' Peerage, in fact Issei won't be revalent to this story other than the very beginning. I might rework the structure of Rias' Peerage and I have plans on making them stronger.
Also I plan on having Naruto have a sacred gear, so what should it be? I have several options I have available. Vote on them on the poll.
First is the Boosted Gear, before anyone asks Boosted Gear will not be able to double Kurama's power; that would be ridiculous and would make Naruto overpowered immediately. I'm still trying to figure out how to allow Naruto to use both Kurama's power along with Boosted Gear; so far I have thought of having red indestructible, or nearly indestructible, chains coming from his back that Kurama could control to attack. If anyone has any suggestion on how to allow Naruto use both Kurama and Boosted Gear powers without him being completely over power, please tell me.
Second sacred gear options is the Longinus class Incinerate Anthem, aka Chief Mourner's Crucified Stand of Purple Flame. This sacred gear basically allows the user to generate holy fire. If this sacred gear is chosen I will basically merge it with Kurama, so in its normal mode Naruto will create reddish/purple foxes made of fire, kind of like Coyote Starrk's wolves. I have two options for this Balance Breaker. The first option is a giant purple/black/white fire shinigami that releases the spirits inside Naruto in fire copies; so fire copies of Minato, Kushina, Kurama, Asura (maybe), any other spirits that get sealed inside him later on, and finally the shinigami copy itself. The second options is simply copying Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.
Third sacred gear option is two artificial sacred gears that will each hold half of Kurama's power; his Yang and Yin halfs.
For the Yang Kurama could be Reynard Equip, Royal Garments of the Fox Lord/god - An outfit that grants Naruto enhanced speed, endurance, strength, senses, and agility equal to say his three/fourth tailed form. He could also were light weight armored gantlets and boots that would change in shape and size similar to the Akimichi's size expansion techniques. Balance Breaker would allow him to utilize all nine tails of power but looks like his Asura Tail Beast Mode; Naruto will gain the Balance Breaker when he introduces Asura's power to the sacred.
For the Yin Kurama it could be Vulpine Reverie, Daydreams of the Fox King/god (Kurama) - allowing Naruto to cast powerful illusions on his targets, the targets would be limited to two or three and the pain inflicted on the targets with the illusions become real in a Freddy Krueger-esque fashion. Or Kitsune March, Army of the Fox King/god - Allowing Naruto to summon armored soldiers wearing fox masks/helms. The soldiers would be limited to around a dozen. They would be as durable as a devil to differential them from Kage Bunshin. The balance breakers would be more fantastical versions of their initial forms.
I could combine Yin Kurama wih the Spirit of Indra, Hagomoro's son not the god, to make Indra's Arrow. The arrow will have three modes, first one is called Indraastra and it shoots arrows that can multiply and have a slight anti affinity. Meaning that if it hits devils it feels like it was blessed, if it hits angels it fells like its curse, it isnt very lethal unless you are hit multiple times. The second for is called Vasavi Shakti and it shoots an arrow that can not be dodged, though it doesnt necessarily mean it has to be lethal, also its first target near the arrow. The final form is called Vajra, and it takes the form of a lightning bolt, it flies at godspeed and is nearly impossible to dodge, and also delivers shock. Balance Breaker can be a fusion of two or more arrows or enhancing certain abilities. Like first type does more damage and multiples even more time, the second one you can choose which person it lock on too, third it can pierce through some barriers. Or I might just have the Balance Breaker shoot Tail Beast Balls at various strengths.
Now sword, to me Ascalon always seemed underpowered to be, I mean besides being more effective against dragons, it doesn't do much; and even that advantage is lost because Rizevim Livan Lucifer has made dragons immune to dragon slaying abilities. So I will include the ability of making it a ridiculously sharp sword capable of cutting through most things. Upon encountering a substance that cannot be cut by the force, the magical power in the blade increases sharply to meet the challenge. Hence, while it can cut through most things, any challenge to its domain will only serve to make it even more deadly.
I could give Naruto the Sō'unga (Amassing Cloud Fang), the hell sword from Inuyasha. I will be mostly focusing on the wind ability it has, not the possession or reanimation abilities. The only time the reanimation ability comes into play will be if the artificial sacred Kitsune March, Army of the Fox King/god is chosen. If I do Incinerate Anthem, I can have naruto use Zanka no Tach by combine the sacred gear, with Kurama's power, and the sword Sō'unga (wind fan flames to make them hotter).
A favorite of mine is the legendary Japanese sword, Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven) but its name was later changed to the more popular Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi (Grass Cutting Sword). This sword will give Naruto the potential to manipulate weather attributes but the skill and what he can do is based on how great his affinity and control over his elements are. If I do Incinerate Anthem, I can have naruto use Zanka no Tach by combine the sacred gear, with Kurama's power, and the sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi or Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi (wind fan flames to make them hotter).
Should I give Naruto a holy demonic sword? I mean having Naruto fuse/merge a holy sword and a demon sword; not him using one from Kiba's sacred gear.
Anyways if you guys want to read two great Naruto stories, they are "A Long Way From Home" by Sierra. BN312 (Remove the space), a Naruto/X-Men story. The other is "Eroninja" by TheLemonSage, this story is over one and a half million words, it's a lemon story, but it has a great plot; read it on FicWad, and try to convince him to come back to fanfiction.
That's all for this long ass Author's Note and again sorry for the long wait.
