Hey guys! here is the next chapter. hope you like it. And also sorry for the delay of last chapter. got a little bit out of touch because I was busy with my introduction and planning for my senior year of school. Let's begin.
Endor ALF HQ
After the successful mission on Maridun, Naruto and his team came back to Endor with Lok Durd to interrogate him. The ALF HQ has a new prison build under the current levels of the base. This prison was meant to hold the hold the ALF most valuable prisoners. This prison didn't have much of prisoners except for a few crime leaders who would later be turned over to the local authorities. The highest secured prison cells were called block S.
The prison was being guarded by professional ALF guards who were picked up by Hudson himself. He wanted guards that weren't weak minded and strict to their job.
There were 2 current prisoners on block S , one was Lok Durd assistant who was on Maridun with Lok durd himself.
Naruto was looking from a hidden room behind glass how the assistant of Lok Durd broke down after being interrogated for hours by Hudson and a translator. The assistant told them about the Nova 6 bomb that was tested and said there was more of the gas with other bio-chemical weapons in a secret facility on a planet that was classified information to him. He said that the only one who he knew where it was, was Lok Durd.
Naruto contacted Hudson with hid coms. "Hudson, take him back to his cell" Naruto said. Hudson nodded and the assistant was escorted back to his cell. Hudson came across him and said to him.
"Let's go see Sandman, hopefully he made him talk" Naruto said as they were walking to the next interrogation room. They entered the room to see Metal team bringing Lok away who was covered in bruises. Metal team took Lok away to his cell.
Naruto turned around to see Sandman walking up to him. Naruto decided to ask "Did he talk?"
"They always talk. He gave us the code of the project 61 files and he confirmed us that those chemicals are indeed the same chemicals like Nova 6." Sandman ended and took out a cigarette and lighted it and took a deep puff and then breathed the smoke out.
Naruto got a call coming in and he answered it. It was Admiral Ackbar "Naruto, we got a call from Anakin Skywalker" Naruto nodded and said "Thanks Admiral, I will talk with him"
He was patched through with Anakin "Naruto, we need your help with something, me and Obi Wan are going with a battalion of clones to the planet Orto Plutonia"
Naruto asks "why are you going there, if I may ask?"
"Our outpost has gone dark and we suspect that the separatists have done it" Anakin explained.
"You do know that we only engage when we are either being attacked or civilian lives are at stake, right?" Naruto explained.
"I know that Naruto but the Revolutionary movement of Pantora asked for your help because they think Pandora will be left alone by the Republic if this might be a sign of an upcoming invasion. Besides Senator Chuchi asked for your help too." Anakin said. This made Naruto think about it.
For the last few months on Pantora, there was huge campaigning for the upcoming elections of the Pandora chairman and the assembly elections. The Revolutionary movement of Pantora was the first group to try run for a political power house. They won a great amount of seats inside the Pantoran Assembly in the elections by the Pantoran people. The elected members of the assembly were politicians who were endorsed by the Revolutionaries for their beliefs.
The race of the chairman was between the current chairman Chi Cho. A supporter of the Clone Wars and a huge help in the war effort and against peace talking's with the Separatists. And his opponent Papanoida, a pro-ALF supporter and a man known for his love of Opera. He was loved by people for his fairness about Palpatine and endorsement by the Revolutionaries. He like many others wanted peace.
The polls showed that Papanoida was winning by large numbers. This was bad news for chairman Cho, if he lost this election he wouldn't even be a member of the Assembly anymore.
Naruto knew he had to help the people who were allied to him to ensure their support of ending this war and he didn't want to abandon them. He thought about Riyo, she was a fine lady. Naruto knew that she had a crush on him and to be honest he was attracted to her also. He was going to talk with her when he was there.
Naruto sighed "Alright then, I will go there, get me a company of troops to move out. I will see you soon Anakin" Anakin smiled and hang up.
Naruto turned to Hudson and asked "Who is available?"
Hudson shook his head "Tayuya and Sabine are on a mission to Tatooine, Evie is with Hera to help transport wounded troops. Colderon is available right now" Naruto was about to ask where he was but then was caught by surprise when he felt two arms grabbing him and holding him in a hug.
Colderon growled with a laugh and patted his head. "Yeah, good to see you to Colderon, now can you please release me?" Naruto asked as he was released by Colderon. Hudson laughed and then said he would go away.
Naruto turned to Colderon and said "Hey buddy, I'm going to help Anakin and Obi Wan on Orto Plutonia, want to join?"
Colderon grinned and said something that made Naruto blush "Ah come on!... alright, I also want to see Riyo, are you happy now?" Naruto pouted.
Colderon laughed and nodded.
The next day
On the ice planet Orto Plutonia, clone troopers were preparing to go inside but had to wait for backup that apparently Anakin and Obi Wan had called in.
"What are we waiting for? I do not understand why we are waiting here!" asked chairman Chi Cho.
"We're waiting for backup, they should be here any moment" Anakin said. Then several ALF dropships came flying by and were going to land.
"You brought the ALF to this!? I did not give you permission for this!" The chairman yelled against the jedi. Unknown to him, it was his own people that have called them for help.
Riyo then decided to tell the truth "the Assembly took an anonymous vote to call help from the ALF in investigating this matter" The chairman turned to her with an angry face.
"They what! Without my permission?! Those anarchist have the spine to do this? And especially you! You did not tell me anything about this!" he yelled at her making her flinch and take a few steps backwards and bumped into someone behind her. She turned around to see that she bumped against Naruto who was giving a glare towards the chairman.
"Alright! That's enough Chairman. The Assembly had asked for me to help investigate this situation, senator Chuchi was only doing what she was asked to do so you don't have to blame her"
The chairman was about to comment but Obi Wan came between them "Alright let's not get hasty over here, Chairman follow me please" Obi Wan asked. The chairman nodded and soon followed Obi Wan and Anakin.
Riyo turned to Naruto and couldn't stop blushing at him because of the close contact she was having with him "thanks Naruto, for coming here and helping us"
Naruto smirked, he knew she was a little shy and said "You're welcome, also don't mention it about that guy yelling at you. You don't deserve that kind of treatment" this made Riyo smile while her heart began beating a little bit faster.
"He cares about me, oh Riyo why can't you just say it to him. That's it! I'm going to tell him today!" Riyo thought.
She turned to Naruto "Naruto, I need to tell you something that has been bugging me for a while"
"What is it Riyo?" Naruto asked. 'Is she going to confess to me?' Naruto thought.
Riyo took a deep breath and breathed out "Naruto I really-"
"Senator Chuchi! Come over here! We need to talk!" chairman Cho yelled.
Damnit! So close "Okay chairman I'm coming" she said and turned to Naruto "I talk to you later" she said, she went towards the chairman.
Naruto shook his head. Riyo was going to say something important and she was so close. Naruto sighed.
"Commander Kitsune?" Naruto turned around to see Colderon and a soldier standing there he thought he recognized him from somewhere.
"Hey Colderon, soldier, what's your name?" Naruto asked the soldier.
"Captain Yuri Garbanov, leader of the 16th ALF company" The soldier revealed himself.
Naruto heard his name and thought about it. He recognized his name "Yuri? Were you in Vorkuta?"
Yuri replied "yes, I was" Naruto heard this and smiled and shook his hand and then bro-hugged him.
"Ah man, that's a long time ago. Good to see you here. Wait I heard you were signed to the 141. What are you doing here?" Naruto asked.
"Well I'm still a 141 operative, but I'm only needed when it's important. I still want to help the men on the frontline so I became a field officer with my experiences." Yuri explained.
Naruto was impressed "Alright then, Yuri let's go. Order your men to go in" Yuri nodded and ordered his men to go inside the outpost. Followed by Naruto and Colderon.
Inside the outpost
Naruto and the others arrived at the scene to see nothing but dead clones and their helmets on sticks.
"Jesus Christ" said one of the ALF troops.
Naruto checked one of the bodies and noticed that there were scars on the dead clone's armor and a stab wound. Naruto saw that his eyes were open and decided to close them. Naruto then felt a hand on his shoulder and found out it was Yuri.
"Naruto, are you alright?" Yuri asked. Naruto stood up and said "Yeah I'm fine, let the men collect the bodies." Naruto ordered which Yuri nodded and started ordering his men.
Naruto arrived at the command room to see Obi Wan and chairman Cho discussing about the outpost until they saw Naruto enter the room.
"Naruto, something says me that you find this also suspicious" Obi Wan said.
Naruto Nodded "Yeah, this doesn't look like a CIS attack" he said, trying to put the pieces together.
then Rex came in and said "Sir, our scouts have spotted a droid base" then Naruto got a call from a scout and then said "Looks like my scouts found the same base as yours. Yuri, stay here and watch over the outpost while me and Obi Wan will investigate the droid base"
"I will be on it Naruto" Yuri replied.
Moments later
Naruto and the Jedi with some clones were flying with some speeder bikes to the found droid base. Naruto was on his speeder bike up front from the others.
"Naruto, hey Naruto can you hear me?" Anakin said through the comms.
"Yeah I can hear you. What sup?" Naruto replied.
"What do you think about the death of those clones? Doesn't seem right at all" Anakin said.
"Yeah, their bodies are pretty damaged by stab wounds. I fear we either got a new sort special battle droid, which is likely not possible or we got some folks living here. Let's first find out what we can find at the base" Naruto replied.
"Sir, we got 2 ALF scouts trying to contact Naruto Uzumaki should I patch them through?" asked a clone.
Anakin nodded and said "Affirmative, patch them through"
Naruto gets the comm link and said "What is it trooper?"
"Sir, we went closer to the base and we discovered something" one of the scouts said.
"Alright, stay there we're not that far away" Naruto ordered on which the scouts complied and broke contact.
Later
Naruto and the Jedi arrived at the droid base where the ALF scouts were waiting for them. Behind the scouts were droid heads on sticks like the ones at the clone outpost.
Naruto walked towards one of those droid heads and said to the scouts "You found those droids like this?"
"Yes sir, all of them were decapitated. We checked the outside area for anybody but nothing was found" said one of the scouts.
"Have you checked inside?" Obi Wan asked.
"No sir" The same scout said. Anakin walked to Obi Wan and Naruto and said "Then let shall we go in and see what's inside" Naruto nodded and ordered his scouts to return to the outpost.
Naruto entered the base to see droids without heads, looks like they were trying to shoot whatever was coming to them. Then he stopped to see a large foot print which must be a clue. The foot prints looked like they belong to a species. Naruto was in deep thought.
"Kuruma, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Naruto asked.
"Yep, looks like we got some locals" Kuruma said.
"But I thought this place was not livable. It's so cold down here and this is the tropical planet" Naruto said.
"Maybe they're not natives, maybe they are colonists. Like the ones on Maridun. If I were you, I let this be investigated by one of those clones. If you meet them, I suggest peace talking's. no doubt that they know these area's and know how to fight the clones" Kuruma suggested.
"Sir?" Naruto was interrupted from his thought as he turned around to see a clone behind him "Do you need something? The clone asked.
"No, not really. You know what you can do something, can you make a cast of this foot print and send it to the outpost to one of my men, I think this will answer some questions"
"Yes sir" The clone went to work with the foot print while Naruto went upstairs to see Anakin working on a holocomm with Obi Wan. Obi Wan saw him and asked
"Oh Naruto, have you found anything?" Obi Wan asked.
"Yeah some foot prints. I've let one of your clones take a cast of it" Obi Wan nodded and then turned to Anakin and sighed "Are you still not done with that holocomm?"
Anakin tried to start it again and said in anger "Why doesn't it work?" Naruto decided to give it a hard kick and it worked.
"Or you can do that" Naruto made a smirk remark which made Anakin give him an angry look until a hologram of a droid appeared.
"To command, they're to many of them. They've overrun the base, we need reinforcements" the droid then was taken out by a creature which they couldn't see.
"What was that?" Anakin asked.
"Whatever it was, it's a good warrior" Obi Wan said while holding his chin.
"I suggest we're going to find whoever it is and trying to talk with them, maybe we stop this before it gets any worse" Naruto suggested on which both Jedi nodded. Naruto turned to Rex and asked "Have you found anything useful from these droids?"
"The droid log indicates they were investigating the southern canyon" Rex answered. Naruto nodded and was the first to take off "Then let shall we find these people"
Meanwhile at the clone outpost
Riyo was staring out the window with emptiness in her eyes. She couldn't dare to see the dead bodies. She hoped that this war would end very quickly and she saw that it was a possibility with the Revolutionaries working on it around the galaxy and her home. She just wished right now to see Naruto who could help her get over this.
"Senator Chuchi? Are you alright?" Riyo turned around to see captain Yuri of the ALF standing there with a cup of tea.
"I saw that you were stunned by the dead of the clones so I brought you a tea" Yuri handed her the cup of tea and she accepted it "Thank you captain Yuri"
"Why are you ignoring my orders!? Get those weapons back online!" someone yelled. Both turned around to see chairman Cho trying to order the ALF troops who were ignoring him and went back to bringing the dead clones to safety. Colderon was helping the clones outside putting beacons online.
Chairman Cho turned to Yuri with an angry expression "Captain! Why do your troops ignore my orders? I want the weapon systems back online in case the separatists attack"
"Chairman, I ordered my men to simply helping the fallen clones to be brought to safety. My orders are not to prepare to engage into full battle with the CIS unless we're being provoked. I only get orders from Uzumaki Naruto and that's it" Yuri fully explained on which Cho gave an angry glare towards the captain.
Riyo decided to ask Chairman Cho a question why he was unnecessary preparing for a enemy she thought was not responsible for this attack "Chairman, what makes you so set that the separatists are behind this attack?"
The chairman still had an angry glare and said "Look around you senator, isn't this carnage proof enough?" Cho pointed out at while 2 Clones were trying to take away a fallen brother but 2 ALF soldiers took it over for them.
"I know. But there are no dead droids here, no blaster marks, the droids injuries were not consisted-" Riyo was interrupted by chairman Cho "So, you're an expert on war now are you senator?"
Before Riyo could answer, Yuri came between the conversation and said "She's only mentioning the facts on what happened here Chairman, even an citizen with no experience in warfare can see it"
"What are you trying to say captain?" Cho asked with slight anger in his voice.
"What I'm trying to say is that you need to look at the facts before pointing fingers" Yuri stated while looking into Cho's eyes with a glare.
Riyo saw that the tensions between chairman Cho and captain Yuri were high so she came between them and said "But if it aren't the separatists that attacked the outpost, then perhaps there is a peaceful resolution"
"senator, I'm willing to fight and die for my people. It's time to ask yourself if you are brave enough to do the same. But right now I don't see it" Chairman Cho stated as he left the room. Riyo was a little bit shaken on the chairman words, he basically called her a coward.
Yuri patted her shoulder which made her turn around and said "whatever he says, do not believe him. You are right to believe in peaceful resolutions." He then also walked away.
"Wait" he heard Riyo say as he stopped. She resumed to talk "You're Russian right?" He turned around and nodded "I've read about your country's history and I've got a question I want you to answer" Yuri nodded.
"How come that after so many civil wars and massacres. The fall of the Tsar, the rise of the communists, the war between the communists and monarchists, the purges ordered by Stalin which lead to tens of millions of deaths, the second world war and the current civil war that is happening. That your country is still standing? All these events would make it impossible for the whole country to stick together. How is that?" she asked.
Yuri was silent for a moment until he said "We've always been fighting among ourselves. Honestly I don't know either how we are still together. But when a power threatens Russia we somehow from all over the country men and women come and fight for our country. When the Nazis attacked Russia and killed millions of our people, we were determent to destroy the enemy and we won. I believe that even if we have our differences, we still stand together to defend ourselves. That is why I'm proud to be Russian" Yuri ended and walked away, leaving a stunned Riyo.
With Naruto
Naruto and the jedi stopped at the canyon trying to find anything that would lead to a clue. Obi Wan used his binoculars and spotted a flickering light on the horizon.
"There's some kind of reflection up there, do you see it?" Obi Wan asked Anakin.
"Yup" Anakin replied while spotting another flickering light on the other side of the canyon. Naruto looked at both flickering lights and said "Looks like they're signaling the others that we are here, Lets go" they all got on their speeder bikes and drove through the canyon. Sometimes they could see creatures watching at them from a distance. This was noticed by Naruto.
"They are watching us right now, I think we're close to their village" Naruto said. Both Jedi nodded and saw that a village was in front of them and decided to stop the speeder bikes and to walk further. They were confronted by the Talz. This must be a colony.
Anakin was going to reach for his lightsaber until Obi Wan warned him "Steady Anakin, they're only curious. Let's not provoke them like the droids and our troops must have done " Obi Wan suggested.
All three of them decide to walk inside the village until they were stopped by 2 Talz. Then a Talz with different clothing came towards them. This must be their leader as the guards lowered their weapons at his command and the three started followed him.
"Too bad we didn't bring 3PO along, how do you plane on communicating with these things" Anakin said.
"Wow Anakin, if I were you I should not call them 'thing' you never know what kind of respond they will have." Naruto said. Then their leader grabbed a spear and stabbed it against the snow.
"I think we should bow" Naruto suggested as they all three did and the leader went inside the hut with them.
Inside the hut was a discussion with several Talz. One of them showed a drawing of a droid and started saying something what was obvious. They were angry about the droids probably threatening them.
Anakin drew something and it showed 2 men shaking hands.
Naruto was talking in his mind with Kuruma "So you were right Kuruma, there were colonists on this planet"
"Yeah, the clones either got caught in the middle or also were confronted by them. Looks like the Jedi seem to talk in good terms with the Talz. That's good news" Kuruma said.
The Jedi already left, not without the Talz leader giving Obi Wan a hug which was amusing both Naruto and Anakin. Naruto bowed in respect to the Talz leader.
Naruto was going to leave on his speeder bike.
"Naruto? Is that you?" Naruto turned around to see a Talz walking up to him. Naruto thought he recognized his voice when it suddenly came into his memory and knew who it was.
"Ri'Ton?" Naruto asked as they both started to laugh and gave a hug to each other.
"It's good to see you man, how have been doing?" Ri'Ton asked.
"You know, helping people here, saving slaves there." Naruto smirked while scratching the back of his head.
"I've heard about what happened on Tatooine. I wish I could join you, but I have responsibilities here" Ri'Ton answered.
"About that, why are your people here?" Naruto asked. Ri'Ton sighed and said "Well, the big reason was because the violence that had been for a long time on our home planet. We wanted to live in peace and found this planet here uninhabited. We did know of Pantora and even met some of their explorers who found our villages. They promised to keep this a secret so we could live in peace"
Naruto nodded but then his comlink beeped and Anakin said "Naruto, come on man" Naruto answered "Alright I'm coming" Naruto looked towards his friend and said "I will speak to you soon, your village leader will explain to you what happened. See ya" Naruto got on his speeder bike and sped away.
Later
Naruto and the others arrived at the outpost hangar and Naruto told them about one of his friends who he met at the village.
"So you have a friend among the Talz? That makes the situation more easier." Obi Wan said while smiling at the connections Naruto had.
"Well, if you have been on the same prison camp with other kinds of people. Then you may experience that one day Obi Wan" Naruto joked on which Anakin laughed. Then chairman Cho and Senator Chuchi arrived at the hangar.
The chairman did not waste any time and went straight forward with his question "What did you find?"
"It seems we stumbled into an inhabited planet" Obi Wan explained while taking of his hood.
"Impossible! Our explorers has spent much time here in the history of Pantora. No one lives here, they're trespassers!" Chairman Cho strongly argued.
Naruto decided to talk "I've talked to one of my friends who is one of their villages. He said that their people have been living here for a long time. They decide to live on this planet to escape the violence of their home planet. They just want peace. Besides they say that they even met with some of the explorers and decided to keep this a secret" Naruto fully explained.
"whoever they are they belong to us, this whole system belong to us!" he blindly said while ignoring Naruto's information.
"Your majesty, if there are lifeforms here, then the senate must decide your jurisdiction" Riyo proposed.
"They are savages. Look what they have done, they slaughtered your troops!" he yelled at Riyo.
"They only want to be left alone. The droids attacked them and I'm afraid our outpost got caught in the middle" Obi Wan tried to reason with the chairman.
"They must be subdued, they're dangerous captain Rex, captain Garbanov prepare your troops for battle" he ordered them.
"We promised their chief there would be no retaliation" Anakin stated.
"we've arranged a meeting between their high council and you and the senator. They want peace" Obi Wan said "We can't send troopers, they think we lied." Anakin said.
"these creatures are little more than animals, you can lie to an animal. They can't be trusted"
"Your majesty-" Riyo was interrupted "No! it is obvious these creatures are not covered by the convention of civilized systems. The Jedi council have no say in this matter."
"If the jedi are able to communicate with them, their status is in doubt" Riyo made a very good point.
"do you stand against your chairman, senator "Chairman Cho said in a threatening voice to her.
"Of course not your majesty" Riyo complied. Naruto Yuri and Colderon who joined them watched over the rest of the conversation and understood that there would be a meeting between the Pantorans and Talz.
Naruto saw that Yuri was preparing his troops, which were a small group compared to the clones. Yuri walked up to Naruto "My men are ready, but they are concerned about the tensions" Yuri explained.
"They have every right to be concerned, in the matter of fact I am myself" Naruto admitted.
"They fear that if the chairman will declare war at some point, they will have to follow orders" Yuri said.
"We will not engage in any unnecessary fighting's, just make sure your men are ready to watch their back" Naruto ordered as Yuri nodded and they all got to their speeder bikes. Colderon would stay behind and watch over the outpost.
Later
Naruto and his men arrived at the droid base were Chairman Cho was trying to order captain Rex "Captain Rex, put your men on that Ice ridge. Captain Yuri, you will set up a perimeter. We will attack soon as the savages arrive"
Naruto was going to say something, this guy doesn't learn that he doesn't take orders. Before he could tell him that, Obi Wan stopped him and responded "there will be no attack chairman"
"You will do as I command! This planet is under my jurisdiction" the chairman snapped. Obi Wan didn't even glanced at him and said "nothing is under your control chairman, the Talz are already here" then some Talz came out of their hiding places and surrounded the clones.
Naruto saw that Yuri was on his guard as he was looking at several of the Talz.
"Don't worry Yuri, as long as we don't do anything, they won't" Naruto said. Yuri nodded and calmed down a little bit as he ordered his men to stand down. Before Naruto could go inside, he's communicator went off and Naruto picked it up.
"Yes?" Naruto asked. He listened to the communicator and widened his eyes at what the caller said "Thanks for telling me this, warn the Pantora Assembly and then tell them to contact senator Riyo Chuchi about this. If what you say is true, than we can end this conflict before it begins" Naruto ended the call and went inside the base.
Naruto went inside where the jedi and the Pantorans with Ri'Ton and the Talz leader. Chairman Cho saw that Naruto walking "What took you so long Uzumaki?!" he demanded.
"I had to answer a call, nothing more" he answered. The chairman shrugged it off. Naruto saw that the chairman was glaring at the Talz as he was probably trying to begin to brag about his position and wanting to call them savages. Naruto was waiting for the right moment.
Obi Wan began to talk "Your highness, these are chairman Chi Cho and Senator Riyo Chuchi of Pantora. Also we have forgotten to introduce the man that was with us. His name is Naruto Uzumaki" this made some of the Talz murmurs to each other as Ri'Ton said in behave of the leader.
"The leader already is informed about the Revolutionary Fox presence. He is welcome to our homes after he freed several of our people from slavery. their full they thank you"
Several of the Talz, including the leader bowed their head towards Naruto bowed his head in response.
Chairman Cho was angry. These savages should bow before him! Not some anarchist scum. He would show them how to respect them.
Chairman Cho pushed Naruto away and said to Ri'Ton "Listen here savage! You will translate everything what I say to your leader!" he demanded.
"Excuse me?" Ri'Ton asked with a frown on his face, this could end up pretty bad.
"As chairman of Pantora I order all of you savages to leave this planet immediately!" Chairman Cho said.
"Chairman, I promised the Talz we would leave them in peace" Obi Wan tried to convince the Chairman but he ignored it. Anakin bumped against Obi Wan to let him see that several ALF troops were surrounding the exits as Naruto was gone. Instead Yuri was in his place with a hologram device in his hand
Ri'Ton translated it to his leader and he didn't take it very well, he spoke to Ri'Ton who nodded and turned to chairman Cho "if you don't leave the planet now, it will be war"
"Then war it will be" Chairman Cho declared. Riyo couldn't believe it. The chairman had decided without the authorization of the Assembly to go into war with the Talz. She had enough and stood in the way of the Talz who were leaving.
"Senator? What are you doing?" Chairman Cho asked.
Riyo took all the courage she could pick, she turned to Chairman Cho with an angry look and said "We are not going to war because you said it Chairman. I'm tired to listen to your warmongering. its time I am going to say what has been on my guts for a while. You are an incapable fool who still believes in the old ways that can destroy Pantora. I don't take this crap anymore!" she ended. This shocked everybody in the room. Obi Wan was glad to see the senator take a stance against the senator and probably stopping a unnecessary conflict.
"You dare to repeat that again senator? I only do this for the people of Pantora. These Savages can be a threat to all of us. It's people like those revolutionary scum that are destroying everything what we stand for! Either you apologies to me or you will be trailed for treason" Cho yelled against Riyo. She stood her ground.
Chairman Cho saw that she wasn't going to apologies "If that is how you will be, guards arrest her for treason" The guards were going to arrest Riyo but Yuri stood in front of Riyo.
"Not so fast Chairman, I got a call for you" Yuri activated his hologram device. Chairman Cho was going to protest until the hologram belonged no other than the speaker of the Assembly himself.
"Speaker Tyker" Chairman Cho said.
"Chairman Cho, it has been said to me that you declared war against the Talz. Is that true?" Speaker Tyker said.
"Yes, because they attacked the clone outpost. These savages need to be taught a lesson" said chairman Cho.
"You do know that you cannot do it without the approval of the Assembly?" the speaker said clearly not happy with the chairman's actions.
"Bah! Approval? From those revolutionary scum? Those cowards are nothing but anarchists. I would never take orders or listen to them!" the chairman finally snapped.
"Is that why you tried to hire several hitman to kill the members of the Assembly, Especially the revolutionary members?" this made everybody turn to chairman Cho who was frozen not because of the cold but out of fear.
"that is an outrageous accusation, You have no proof!" Chairman Cho said in denial.
"Is that So? We got informed by the ALF of a bomb being planned by one of your men, he squealed the second he was caught and mentioned your name." the speaker said.
"You're being removed from being chairman and your seat will be abolished. Guards, arrest Chi Cho for crimes against the state" the speaker ordered. The guards looked towards each other and nodded as they went towards the former chairman.
The former chairman yelled "No!" as he grabbed his blaster and took Riyo Chuchi hostage and killed both guards. Riyo was being held hostage with a blaster pointed to her head. everybody draw their weapons out and kept an eye on Cho.
"Chairman don't do anything stupid" Obi Wan tried to de-escalate the situation.
"your all fools! Diplomacy doesn't work. I have given everything for my people and you want to be friends with those savages and barbarians who want to make peace with the separatists? No! the Republic needs to fight them to the end!" Cho declared as he pointed his blaster at Riyo's neck.
"it's over, put down your weapon" Anakin said while trying to get closer to Cho but he had to take a few feet back as Cho had his finger on the trigger.
"Chairman, we can handle this peacefully" Riyo tried to convince him to calm down.
"Shut up, it's your fault that I lost my positions, I will not and I repeat I will NOT lose to these savages" Cho was ready to kill Riyo.
Cho gasped. This shocked everybody why the former chairman gasped until they saw that Naruto stood behind him with his hidden blades stabbed in the back and neck of the Pantoran. Naruto released him as he caught Riyo from falling because she couldn't breathe under Cho's strong grip.
Riyo was hyperventilating until she saw Naruto "Shhh it's okay Riyo. It's over" Naruto calmed her down. Riyo whimpered as a tear came out of her eye and she then started to hug him. Naruto patted her head and started calming her down.
"*couch* you *couch* savage lovers" Naruto released Riyo as he went to the dying Cho. He kneeled down and started to look him right in the eye.
"So this is the end of me? After all I've done. I have done everything to protect the honor of my people" Cho said as blood came pouring out of his back on the cold floor
"You tried to seal your own legacy on costs of people's lives and old warfare's, you also tried to maintain your power over the people by killing elected officials who represent the people. your actions against the Talz would have cost dozens of lives to be perished." Cho took his last breath as he passed away "Rest in peace" said Naruto as he closed Cho's eyes.
Later
After the death of chairman Cho, Riyo Chuchi and the leader of the Talz talked on a peace treaty which lead to the sovereignty of the Talz people on Orto Plutonia. The Talz offered to the ALF the opportunity of building a base for the security of both the Talz and Pantorans. Ri'Ton became the representative of the Talz in the Assembly as a result.
Right know Naruto was in a room on the moon Pantora, he was offered one after his services on Orto Plutonia. He decided to only sleep one day on the moon and then go back to the fleet. Naruto was going to sleep until the doorbell went and he answered it and it was no other than senator Riyo Chuchi herself.
"Senator Chuchi, what do I owe your visit?" Naruto asked. Can I come in?" Riyo asked.
"Sure, come in" Naruto opened the door and Riyo simply walked inside. She turned around and both were now facing each other.
"I never got say thank you for saving me. I really thought I wasn't going to make it." Riyo said while shivering on that memory, she then was comforted again by Naruto who started to hug her slightly.
"It's okay, I'm here for you" Naruto said as Riyo was blushing and she was getting warm and fuzzy in the inside 'Come on Riyo, it's now or never'
"Naruto, you know I tried to tell you something on Orto Plutonia?" Riyo asked.
"Yeah I remember you were going to tell me before that jerk interrupted you" Naruto remembered. He asked himself if Riyo was trying to confess to him about her feelings.
"Well Naruto, how am I going to say it? Ahh forget it I love you! I really love you. I love how you care of people I heard what kind of past you had and I see that you do everything for your precious people you're a caring passionate person. I want to be with you!" She finished. She then continued "That's it, if you are not interested then-" she then was being kissed by Naruto on the lips.
Riyo was caught off guard. It took her a second until she realized that she was being and began to submit to it as she began kissing back. Their passionate kiss took a minute until the parted away leaving a saliva trail between their tongues.
"So do you accept my confession?" Riyo asked.
"You do know that I have a harem right?" Naruto asked. Riyo thought about it a second and then smiled and gave a kiss on his cheek.
"So long I got to be with you, I don't care. I will love all of them equally" Riyo said with no concern of the harem situation.
Naruto thought about something "Should we bring the night together?" Naruto offered his hand and she took it and she said "I would like to" Riyo closed the door behind her and the both of them spent a lovely night together.
