Hello! here is the next chapter, It took me quite a while and I have some difficulties with my beta reader since he doesn't have much free time anymore and I don't want to let you guys wait any longer. So F*ck it.
If you're interested in being a beta reader and want to work with me on this story by giving ideas, then feel free to send me a message.
Let's go down to the chapter
Inside the transport ship; cockpit
"Alright, we shall arrive at Ryloth's Orbit in about 20 minutes" Nikolai said. Activating the auto pilot and checking the fuel meters. Inside the cockpit were Naruto and Yuri. The ship was in hyperspace. Naruto was reading a newspaper of one of the 2 journalist groups that was coming with them, he asked for them to see what kind of people they were and how the viewed their opinions on him.
Naruto was not happy reading the daily rat "I can't believe this, read this crap" he said, he threw the newspaper to Yuri.
Yuri already saw why Naruto was angry by the headline "Uzumaki Naruto the 'Revolutionary' warlord. An underestimated danger to the galaxy"
Nikolai made a 'wtf?' look towards Yuri "Serious?" He asked. Yuri nodded and the both looked at Naruto, who shrugged it off and said "Just read the rest of the article"
Yuri continued reading the article "With trustworthy sources, we can confirm that behind the smokescreen of the ALF their leader and his 'heroic' deeds. That he has a history of crime and disobedience"
"Crime and disobedience? I've only pranked people and sometime just shoplifted." Naruto protested. Pissed off that some journalist either didn't do their research or tried to slander him.
Yuri kept reading "It is also confirmed that Uzumaki Naruto was a child soldier on his home planet Elementia, to be precisely the village hidden in the leaf. A planet which is much known for its history of military conflicts and the use of child soldiers. It is unknown what crimes he committed during his service"Naruto was shaking his head, this guys didn't do any research about him and it pissed him off that somebody would slander his military career. Yuri and Nikolai felt sorry for Naruto and could understand him, both knew in different military campaigns how to be slandered as criminals.
Yuri gave the newspaper to Nikolai and he then started reading the last part of the article, which he had trouble to read it "But what is the most interesting stories are that evolves around Uzumaki Naruto is his close relationships with several women, for example Hinata Hyuuga, the representative of the planet Elementia who is rumored to be absent for unknown reasons, the woman that stood beside his speech on the galactic senate and a unknown mandalorian. Is he a pervert sex addict? We will give you the answers and expose this mad man if my name is-"Naruto took the newspaper and ripped it apart.
"Sally Fucking Ratmousen, the same rat that is on this ship right now!" Naruto said with a deep anger, he punched the wall next to him so hard, that everybody on the ship hear it.
"I can't believe that bitch has the nerve to spread these lies! I would-" Naruto was about to say something he would regret if he finished the sentence.
"Naruto calm down! This was about to happen, a lot of folks love you, some folks hate you. That's the way it is, but if you're going to try silence them, you will let them win. Don't let them trick you, you are better than that" Yuri interrupted. Yuri tried to calm Naruto down. About these rumors of him having relationships with these women, was the only thing he slightly knew about. He saw that Naruto and senator Chuchi said farewell to each other like they had something. He didn't mind about it, he knew Naruto had caused some affections that attracted some women.
Besides, he was befriended with Sabine, and she said that if Naruto did something wrong towards her or anybody else Yuri knew that was close to Naruto. Naruto would regret it then for the rest of his life.
Naruto thought about what Yuri said and nodded to him "You're right Yuri, I need to focus" He sat down.
"But why did they get invitation to come here if they-" Naruto said but soon realized what the plan was. Naruto started laughing, he knew why they were here. Yuri and Nikolai smiled at Naruto's reaction what their plan was.
"Hahaha! You guys wanted to scare them so you invited them didn't you?" Naruto pointed at Nikolai as.
Nikolai started laughing "Ha! Yes I did, to make them realize how dangerous it is on the front. It's kind of revenge for talking shit about us. I remember doing this to Russian critics when we were in Afghanistan(I made it up).
Everybody in the cockpit was laughing and began sharing some war stories.
In the cafeteria
"I cannot believe that they treat a lady like this" Sally Ratmousen complained while polishing her nails.
"They don't know who they're messing with Sally" her cameraman Simon Squealer said with a black eye, he earlier tried to flirt with the female mouse officer. I didn't go well when he smacked her ass and smirked but then got a punch so powerful that he flew towards the other side of the cafeteria.
Geronimo was not paying attention to his 'fellow' journalists. Instead, he was writing in his note book while observing some of the soldiers eating their meals while some of them were talking and laughing.
"Excuse me" He heard. He turned around to see who it was, it was the female mouse officer. Geronimo didn't know what she wanted so he was going to be friendly with her "Uhm, miss is there something wrong?" The female officer took him by the shoulder and dragged him away. This caught the attention of Simon Squealer. He tried to follow them, but got confronted by some ALF men that got in his way and made him scared because these were those female officer's men. So he backed off while Sally was continuing eating.
Geronimo and the officer arrived at a private room, which belonged to the officer. She locked the door and turned to him "You're Geronimo Stilton right?" She asked him and he nodded. He was scared that either she was going to something to him badly.
"It's me Jessica, Don't you remember me?" She asked him. Geronimo didn't know what she was talking about until he remembered that name "Jessica? Jessica Lovemouse? Is that really you?" Geronimo asked.
She happily nodded and the both of them embraced each other.
Geronimo was very happy, his old school friend Jessica Lovemouse stood in front of him after all these years, he actually had a crush on her when he was little and unknown to him, Jessica also had a crush on him. They were inseparable when they were young until Jessica had to move away when they were 16.
Geronimo broke the hug "It's so nice to see you, so you joined the ALF?" he asked while looking at her uniform.
She pointed at the bed to sit down with him and said "Yup, I joined them about a year ago, I fought on Tatooine, and some raids on slave convoys and Mon Calamari. I earned the title of Sergeant in a matter of weeks for my good performances. So how are you doing? Last I heard you were the head of the Stilton Media Group, but you recently resigned from that position. Why?"
After that question Geronimo stood up and went to the door and looked through the small window for anybody that maybe was listening, especially for Simon and Sally. He went back to Jessica and sat beside her.
"Okay, let me explain what happened" Geronimo started explaining the whole story to Jessica.
With Naruto
"We're almost there. Prepare for any upcoming surprises" Nikolai said. Naruto and Yuri waited as the ship finally arrived.
Ryloth was there. With the separatist blockade in front of it. With dozens of ships surrounding the planet and surprisingly, Several Republic cruisers and a few ALF ships were already engaging against the blockade. The flagship of the Republic was the Resolute and the ALF flagship was the Liberatorin this battle.
The Liberator fired a laser against one of the Munificent-class frigates, resulting to its destruction and crashing into another Munificent frigate and destroying it.
With the separatists
"Captain, battlecruiser 17 and battlecruiser 19 have been destroyed. Battlecruiser 18 and 20 are taking heavy damage" a battle droid reported.
Captain Mar Tuuk was irritated, he expected only the Republic to come, not the ALF and especially not the two of them together in a join task operation. His plan was falling apart.
"Prepare all ship for defensive positions, then focus all fire on the ALF and Republic flagships" Tuuk ordered.
"Sir, a transport ship just got out of hyperspace, it matches the description of one of the vessels used by the ALF army" another droid reported "And it's coming right to our direction"
The captain was sweating, they were daring an attack on the blockade while they were in their weakest point "send orders to the vulture droids to destroy it, we need more time to prepare our defensives" He ordered.
"Roger roger" The battle droid said. The droid next to him said "I've got a bad feeling about this"
"Don't complain, what do you know about this?" the droid next to him asked.
"Only that almost everybody doesn't survive against the Jedi" the droid said.
With the Resolute/Liberator forces
On the Resolute was Admiral Yularen, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano with the hologram of Admiral Ackbar. They were seeing the battle was coming to their favor. With Ahsoka and her team of fighters on the field and the Ghost assisting them. Nothing can go wrong.
The ALF biggest priority in this campaign was to make sure that Naruto and his team could make it through the blockade and assist the rebelling Twi'lek population without the Republic having any knowledge of this.
A clone ship operator told the last battle reports "Sir, 2 enemy battleships have been destroyed, the remaining ships are still intact, and we need to wait a little longer until we can break that blockade."
Admiral Ackbar nodded and ordered his men "I want all fire concentrated on the remaining battleships, then we send the bombers to attack the blockade flagship" Admiral Yularen nodded and ordered his men the same.
Ahsoka and her team just finished of a group of vulture droids with minimum causalities. Then Ahsoka spoke through the radio "Master, we're done taking with this group, you can tell the bombers that they have a clear path"
Anakin nodded "Okay Snips" Anakin turned to Admiral Yularen. The admiral nodded and was about to order the bombers.
"Sir! A transport ship is going straight for the planet and it's having multiple vulture droids approaching them!" the ship could we be seen from a mile away and it was going to be attacked in les then a minute.
"What! Let me see" Anakin said. It was a transport ship that has the same description of the ALF regular transport ships. Admiral Yularen saw this and turned to the hologram of admiral Ackbar.
"Admiral, a transport ship of yours is going right to the planet, what's going on?" he demanded, he already found it strange why the ALF was assisting them.
Admiral Ackbar, not seeing the use of hiding anymore. Said "This ship has a mission to help the resistance groups on Ryloth." Anakin and admiral Yularen thought that this was a suicide mission and weren't happy that Ackbar kept it secret...
"That ship will be blown to pieces before they can even bypass the first cruiser. You must order it to turn around" Anakin said.
"I cannot do that Skywalker, the lives of the Twi'leks are at stake. Besides you don't have to worry, that ships belongs to one of our best pilots. Which means it has its uses by its modifications"Admiral Ackbar said with confidence. Confusing both the Jedi and admiral
"What kind of modifications?" They both asked.
With Naruto
Yuri, Naruto and Nikolai looked at what the CIS blockade was doing "Looks like the Separatist blockade is going into the defensive, it's good to know that Hera is there to help. Hopefully they didn't noticed us already" Naruto commented. Then the ship began to rumble like something hit them.
Yuri looked at the scanners "Vulture droids are on our tail, they tried to bomb us but our shields are still holding" Yuri grabbed the microphone and called it in "All troops, we're being attacked, to your battle stations, man the cannons"
The moment Yuri said that, every man and woman stopped with whatever they were doing and went to man the cannons while the daily rat journalists were hiding under their tables.
"Why did we agree to go onto this?" Sally asked in fear and then turned to Simon and started beating him with her pursue "This is all your fault"
Simon groaned in pain and said "It's not my fault, Stilton had to have this too, so you wanted to go where he was going" Then both of them thought of something.
"Where is Stilton?" they asked as another explosion caused them to crawl more in fear.
Geronimo and Jessica ran out of her quarters. Jessica saw several of her men running towards the cannons, she went to one of them, a yellow Zabrak who was readying one of the turbolasers. She asked "What's happening?"
"We're being attacked, everybody is ordered to the cannons to defend the ship" the Zabrak said as suddenly an explosion occurred next to them so powerful, that it blew them away and the room was covered in black smoke.
After a minute, Geronimo started standing up from the ground. He looked around and saw Jessica lying against the wall. Unconscious
"Jessica!" Geronimo ran to her and checked her neck for any heartbeat, luckily he found it after a few seconds.
"H-help me" Geronimo heard a weak voice and turned to the right and saw the yellow Zabrak lying on the ground with blood coming out of his stomach and mouth.
Geronimo reacted quickly and took of his jacket and used it to put pressure on the wound. The Zabrak was hyperventilating and panicking.
Geronimo started trying to calm the wounded Zabrak "Okay, I'm with you, just breath okay? You're going to be alright" the Zabrak started to calm down but soon breathed out the last amount of air in his lungs as he passed away.
Geronimo was closed his eyes, disappointed in himself not being able to save the Zabrak. He closed the Zabrak's eyes.
Geronimo noticed his hands were covered in the dead Zabrak's blood. He was horrified for a moment until he heard the radio of the deceased Zabrak. He grabbed the radio and started listening.
"Vulture droids are giving us a hard time! We need more time to load up energy to fire the missiles, protect the ship at all cost!"Nikolai said.
Geronimo stood there for a second, his eyes were covered in the shadows as he gripped his hands tightly and looked towards the turbolasers and took his decision as he walked to the turbolaser, not noticing the lightly wounded Jessica, who was awaken for a short minute. Seeing the dead Zabrak and then her old crush going to the turbolaser and then she was out again.
Geronimo was done readying the cannon and looked at his view. Dozens of vulture droids were flying around either dodging the turbolaser fire or firing onto the ship. Geronimo saw 1 vulture droid coming to his position while dodging the lasers of the other turbolasers. Geronimo waited for the right moment as he was aiming for the droid. All his fears for himself, his family and friends vanished.
When he pulled the trigger…
With Naruto
Naruto watched as vulture droids were firing at the transport ship. One of the turbolasers took out one of the vulture droids by shooting it in the wing and making it crash against the transport ship, the ship didn't took any damage thanks to the shields. The same turbolaser started taking out several other vulture droids. More than any other could have done.
"We're taking heavy fire from the right flank, but somebody on the turbolasers is giving them a hard time" Yuri said, pointing out at the same turbolaser.
"EMP missiles are ready to launch, on your command Naruto" Nikolai informed Naruto.
Naruto nodded "Wait for my command, me and Yuri will go to the ship, let's go Yuri. To the ships!" Naruto started running.
"I'm right behind you!" Yuri yelled. He followed Naruto. Nikolai grabbed the launch key to be ready for the command. While that he was waiting, he saw that that same turbolaser had just taken out another 3 vulture droids.
"Whoever it is maintaining that cannon, he's quite good" he said to himself.
Meanwhile Nikolai was observing the battle, since he couldn't get any closer to the planet or he could be in the fire range of the CIS battleships. Naruto and Yuri just ran through a damaged hallway, possible hit by a crashing of a droid or a direct hit before the shields were activated.
Naruto contacted the Ghost ship "Hera do you hear me?" Naruto signed Yuri of to go to the hangar and he had to wait there.
"Yes Naruto I'm here, seems like the original plan didn't work. So what now?" Hera asked.
"Just make sure you and the other ships stay out of range when Nikolai fires those missiles. When they hit that droid control ship, you will give everything what you've got. Got it?" Naruto explained.
"Loud and clearly, good luck Naruto" Hera disclosed the call. Naruto proceeded to run towards the hangar.
The hangar doors opened. Soldiers saw that Naruto entered as he said "Let's go people!"
With Ahsoka
Ahsoka just heard the news of a transport ship of the ALF was going into the battle. She was tasked with her team to protect the transport ship from the vulture droids.
'I can't believe these guys, well never min' "Guys, let's help those guys out" Ahsoka ordered her team.
"Copy that" said Axe, a clone pilot. The other pilots also complied.
Ahsoka and her team went straight for the vulture droids that were attacking the transport ship. Ahsoka took off on her own and started targeting 2 vulture droids that went beneath the transport ship and was chasing them.
She fired 2 times at the nearest droid and hits its back and the droid exploded. She then focused on the other one and before she could hit it. One of the Turbolasers shot it down. Ahsoka saw that the defenses of the transport ship had it under control by the decreasing number of vulture droids.
"This is Axe, I have 3 vulture droids behind me, I can't shake them off!" Axe said in panic as he tried to out maneuver the droids.
"Slammer, can you help Axe?" Ahsoka asked the other clone pilot.
"I'm on it" Slammer replied. Flying to Axe and getting behind the droids.
"I'm on them, just hold on Axe" Slammer said. When he was about to attack the vulture droids. A Starfighter flew by and shot all 3 of them down. As it flew past Slammer.
"Thanks Slammer" Axe thanked him, thinking it was Slammer's doing.
Slammer was weirded out "Uhm, it wasn't me" He honestly said "It was Commander Tano, her ship came by" He said thinking that Ahsoka's Starfighter had taken those droids out.
"What are you guys talking about? I wasn't even close" Ahsoka then also was confused "Wait, who was in that Starfighter?" Ahsoka asked.
"Allow me" A new voice said through the comms of the Republic ships. It was Naruto as he flew next to the Starfighter of Ahsoka. She smiled to see it was him
"Naruto! It's good to see you. Thanks for saving Axe but what are you doing here?" She asked.
"That doesn't matter right now, order your men to stand behind you. We're going to attack that control ship" Naruto said not giving attention to the shocked reactions of the clone pilots
"Naruto that's suicide, with only us that's not possible." Ahsoka said. She surely wanted to break through the blockade but they nearly survived the failed attack and were lucky when the ALF arrived.
"Who said we were going to do it with only us?" Naruto asked with an amused smile on his face. Then out of nowhere dozens of B-wings X-wings and a couple of U-wings joined the group. With them also was the Ghost
Hera patched into their commlink "Naruto, hope you don't mind that we join you?".
Naruto smirked by the reaction and said "All leaders report in"
"Raider leader standing by" the leader of the B-wing squadron reported in.
"Ryker leader standing by" the leader of the X-wings reported.
"Fox leader standing by. Captain Yuri says his men are ready" The leader of the U-wings last reported. There were now over 25 ships now ready to attack the control ship.
Ahsoka's eyes widened by the amount of fighters but at the end she smiled "This is going to be fun"
Naruto took notice of Ahsoka's little eagerness "Ahsoka, I need you to concentrate here. We're not going for a head on attack. On my mark. Raider squadron will attack anything that will hurt them, communication towers, life support system, engines anything. Ryker squad will protect Fox squadron until they reach the orbit of Ryloth. Captain Syndulla will provide covering fire for Raider squadron or she can join Fox squadron into the battlefield on the ground. Ahsoka you and your team are free to do what you think is best"
Ahsoka was impressed by Naruto's plan and said "You don't hear me complaining, what do you think about it boys?" She asked her team.
"I like this plan, let's go for it" Slammer said.
"Well I do owe you for saving my life so Okay" Axe said without hesitation. Ahsoka nodded to Naruto and he nodded back.
"Naruto this is Anakin" Naruto heard through the commlink.
He answered the commlink "Yes Anakin, let me guess you heard everything?"
"Yep, that plan is reckless as it is dangerous with high risk which makes admiral Yularen worried…I love it" Anakin admitted and Naruto smiled as he shook his head.
"Alright then, you guys focus on the other ships, don't worry about the control ship, we've got a secret weapon" Anakin nodded.
With the separatists
Captain Mar Tuuk was thinking why the Republic and the ALF Flagships weren't attacking. Most of his vulture droids were either destroyed or badly damaged. So he had to order the droids to regroup them and wait for the next move.
"Sir, a large amount of hostiles are nearing our position" A droid said. Captain Mar Tuuk was surprised by what he sees 'reckless' attempt to break through.
He thought that this could be easily waved off "Continue the regrouping of the vulture droids, let the defense systems take care of it. You may fire when you're ready"
The droids started readying the turbolasers and started aiming at the group of fighters and started waiting for the captain's order to fire.
"The control ship's their defenses are aiming at us, are you sure we can do it?" the clone Slammer asked. Being a little scared of the thought that he wouldn't even make it before firing a shot.
"Wait for it" Naruto just said, not giving attention to some of the clones their concerns. When they reached the space Naruto wanted to be in, he contacted Nikolai.
"Nikolai, fire those missiles NOW!" Naruto said.
"Alright!" Nikolai put the key inside the lock and launched 4 missiles. After he launched those missiles he took the ship forwards to planet by trying to bypass the control ship.
Hera saw what kind of missiles it were "Naruto are those-"
Naruto nodded "Yep, just watch the fireworks" Ahsoka and the clones didn't know what they meant.
The 4 missiles speeded away next to Ahsoka who was overwhelmed by its speed. The missiles front turned into a spike that soon
"Sir, the transport ship fired 4 missiles with an unknown element towards our location. Should we destroy them?"
"The ALF must be desperate, those missiles won't be able to go by our shields" He arrogantly replied.
The droid then said "But sir, those missiles have spikes on the front of them" This caught the attention of the captain.
Spikes? No "Fire on those missiles!" the captain said, fearing for the worst.
"It's too late, prepare for impact" The droid said. The fore missiles pierced onto the control ships outside and then had a blue glow around them and it caused an explosion.
"What was that supposed to do?" asked Slammer, until he looked at the scanner and saw something that blew is mind "It can't be, Sir the control ship is out of power! Their defense systems are offline also are their shields, it's vulnerable now! "
"What? But how?" Ahsoka was shocked until she figured out what those missiles were and asked Naruto "Naruto did you fired-"
"Yes, EMP-missiles, right now the ship cannot fight back, give it everything what you got!" Everybody nodded and started their attack on the ship.
"What happened!" captain Mar Tuuk asked.
The droids couldn't do anything as one of them just presumed "I think those missiles just took out all the power. Our defenses, shields, communications, life support and even our computers."
The captain was enraged "We're sitting ducks here!" he yelled as he was forced to see the transport ship and several U-wings fly by and then a B-wing firing it's torpedoes into the bridge, the captain closed his eyes before the torpedo hit him and destroyed the whole bridge.
The bridge explosion could be seen from the Resolute. Anakin and Yularen were surprised by the impact of the missiles.
"What happened? Those missiles were not regulars" Yularen said, impressed by the weaponry the ALF had in their arsenal.
A clone ship operator said "The scanners indicated that anti-electronic elements were present on those missiles."
Anakin already knew what it meant "EMP missiles" Yularen didn't what he meant by.
"EMP missiles?" He asked.
"They were made on Earth, not surprised that Naruto has these weapons. We are lucky that the ALF are on our side." Anakin then turned to the hologram of admiral Ackbar "Shall we help them?"
Admiral Ackbar shook his head "No, concentrate all fire on the nearby cruisers, let the fighters take care of the rest. We need to make sure no-one escapes!" Anakin nodded and turned to admiral Yularen.
"Give the order Admiral" Admiral Ackbar also gave the order.
Yularen nodded "All ships open fire on the cruisers" the Republican and ALF ships started firing at the remaining CIS cruisers, one by one they took heavy damage and went down.
"Raider 2 this is Raider leader. Cover me while I will destroy the communication tower" Raider leader said.
"I'm right behind you Raider leader" Raider 2 replied.
Raider leader flew by several offline turbolasers and fired its torpedoes into the tower. The tower exploded and fell down to the ground and caused a massive explosion. The explosion caused a huge fire that quickly spread throughout the orbit of the ship.
Slammer fired his torpedo into one of the engines and it exploded. The engine's explosion caused the others to explode as well.
"Good shot Slammer" Axe said, he shot 2 vulture droids that tried to escape the burning ship.
Naruto was observing the wreckage of the control ship, he was deep in his thoughts until the Ghost started flying next to him with Ahsoka's Starfighter.
Ahsoka decided to compliment them "I must say, whatever you guys have planned, how reckless or dangerous it is, it always works"
Hera laughed at it "Well, it was Naruto's plan in the first place."
"Ladies, come one, you're making me blush" Naruto said. Then the commlink went off.
It was Yuri "Naruto, we're facing heavy resistance. The Twi'leks are being attacked by multiple droid tanks. We need you here right now!" Naruto nodded.
"Hera, you and Ahsoka will take care of the rest up here, I'm going to help the guys on the planet" Naruto said, about to enter the orbit.
"Okay Naruto, be careful, especially around 'him' hopefully he approves you" Hera said with some sarcasm. Ahsoka did not know what they meant…again.
"You guys seriously need to explain to me what you guys are talking about, not about the ALF. I've noticed something else" Ahsoka said.
Naruto and Hera saw this as an awkward moment and decided to break the moment up "Next time, good luck girls" Naruto flew towards the planet.
Hera said to Ahsoka "Let's talk about that later when all of this is over" Ahsoka saw no point of arguing right now so she complied and both of them went for the control ship.
With Naruto
Naruto's Starfighter immerged from the cloudy air into the planet. He could see several droid tanks firing against Twi'leks resistance fighters that had barricaded themselves in the remnants of a crashed cruiser.
One of the Twi'leks had a rocket launcher and fired it at the nearest droid tank with. The rocket hits the front and it exploded, but a super battle droid fired its rocket launcher and fired it at the resistance fighters, they tried to get away but were killed by the explosion.
Dozens of super battle droids then started marching towards the downed cruiser until they were being fired on by one of the U-wings that was doing a fly-by.
"Keep firing upon them!" Yuri ordered the gunner. The gunner nodded and took out a whole squad of battle droids.
A tank spotted Naruto's Starfighter and fired once, and hitting his wing causing it to crash, not before Naruto had to jump out of it and landing in the middle of a battle droid battalion.
Naruto had his hood on and all battle droids though because of his appearance that he was a Jedi "Surrender Jedi"
Naruto stood up and slowly raised his hands with small smoke bombs and threw them on the ground. The droids could not see where Naruto was until they saw the lightsaber's light I front of them
The yellow striped battle droid spoke out nervously "Uhm take out the Jedi!" all droids started firing at Naruto, but as usually Naruto either deflected their blaster fire or dodged them.
Naruto started slashing the droids up and down, left to right. A spider droid fired a shot against Naruto's back. Naruto deflected the shot back to the spider droid and it exploded.
When Naruto was done he took out all of the battle droids he could see and he deactivated his lightsaber. Then he sensed 3 droidekas and before they stopped rolling, they were destroyed from above.
Naruto turned around to see it was the landing U-wing Yuri and his team were on. Yuri was the first one to step out of it and smiled "You always need someone to watch your back don't you?"
Naruto sighed and then smiled then out of nowhere somebody shot a droid that was about to shoot Naruto in the back.
Naruto and Yuri looked where the shot came from and it was an orange Twi'lek "You must be Uzumaki Naruto. My name is Cham Syndulla" he walked towards him and gave him a quick glare,
Naruto took his hand and shook it "Good to meet you" Naruto also gave a quick glare, just to let him know he's not to be messed with.
Cham glare turned into a smug grin "You show no fear I can see that, I like that" then a Twi'lek freedom fighter said that a transport ship was landing.
Naruto then said "I've got the supplies that you need, my men will help them unload. Do you still have contact with the other freedom fighters around the planet?" Naruto and Cham started walking inside the secret hideout.
Cham nodded "Yes, and they aren't small ones, they've got everything what you guys delivered and with the targets you provided. The droid army will receive heavy blows in their defenses. I only need to give the order" Naruto was happy to know that.
Meanwhile, the ALF soldiers and the Twi'lek resistance fighters were emptying the cargo, out of the cargo door came 2 figures.
It was Geronimo walking out with a unconscious Jessica lying in his arms in bridal style. Geronimo had an unemotional expression on his face as he brought Jessica in the open until people could see who were walking.
"Hey it's that journalist, o shit! Jessica is wounded! Get a medic!" A soldier said. Some soldiers and a medic came to Geronimo's aid and picked Jessica up and laid her down a stretcher where she would be examined by a medic.
Geronimo went to sit on a cargo box until he was confronted by Simon and Sally. Simon started taunting.
"So Geronimo, where were you hiding, in the kitchen ha!" Sally laughed at and continued "Why did you decide to join, don't you know this isn't a place where you could be safe?" they kept taunting the silent Geronimo as they started attracting attention of the soldiers and freedom fighters who were sickened of it. Some saw that Geronimo had blood on his clothes and then soon figured out what precisely could have happened.
They were about to intervene until Geronimo turned to both of them and stood up looking at them with a cold glare that easily made both Sally and Simon stop laughing. They never saw Geronimo like this.
"Where were you then? I saw somebody die in front of me and almost somebody else, either say what you've done or shut up!" he threatened. Making both rat reporters walk away in fear. When Geronimo sat back down, the same medic grabbed his shoulder and caught his attention.
"You're Geronimo right?" the medic asked. Geronimo nodded "Jessica asks for you" Geronimo nodded and followed the medic.
Geronimo went to the now conscious Jessica who was slightly shocked of the state Geronimo was in as he bent down to her level. Jessica signed the others of for some privacy and then turned to Naruto.
She placed her hand on his cheek and tried to make him feel comfortable. Geronimo took her hand and then let down tears as he said "I'm sorry"
Jessica smiled and said "I'm still alive and a saw you at the turbolasers, you are a brave man Geronimo" She said as she forced him to come face to face contact and then kissing him. They both embraced each other and started hugging.
While in the base Naruto saw the plans and nodded to Cham "Cham, say your men to attack, let the liberation of Ryloth begin"
In space
Anakin and Yularen were overlooking the remnants of the burning CIS blockade fleet breaking down with Ahsoka back on the bridge and Hera back on theLiberator.
"I must say, Uzumaki Naruto knows how to surprise people in the most difficult situations." Yularen admitted about Naruto's ways of warfare.
Ahsoka decided to drop her 2 cents and said to her master "Maybe you can learn a thing or 2 from him Sky guy"
"Over my dead body Snips" Anakin smirked on that. Then Windu and Obi Wan Kenobi walked in with Commander Cody.
"Good to see you master Kenobi, master Windu" they all exchanged greetings.
Windu asked first "Is it true that Naruto broke through with minimum effort?" they all nodded. Windu then said "So he must probably have allies on the ground. That doesn't matter right now, Obi Wan are your men ready?"
Obi Wan nodded "Yes, we will begin landings at-"
"General look!" commander Cody pointed out the planet. A huge explosion could be seen on Ryloth, followed by others. It was spreading all around the planet.
"Trooper what's happening!" Windu demanded an explanation. Nobody could answer that question until the hologram of Admiral Ackbar appeared.
Yularen was about to ask Ackbar a question until Windu said "Admiral, do you have anything to do with those explosions?"
"Me? No. But Naruto yes. He just told us that the Twi'leks had started attacking the droid army on all fronts. The Tann province, the Tulara province, Lessu, Nabat, Rhovan and even in the northen regions. It's a full guerrilla warfare." Ackbar explained.
Kenobi saw this through "Naruto has been involved in helping the freedom fighters. Am I right?" he asked. Seeing that they absolute goal was to free Ryloth by attacking all key points where the droid army was and needed to occupies the planet.
"That's right, we're advising you to wait until the fighting calms down, and right now it's too dangerous. Ackbar out"Ackbar ended the transmission.
The Admiral of the ALF stood next to Hera and were watching the sight of the explosions "What do you think of it Hera?" Hera went towards the window and replied.
"Naruto gives the people of Ryloth what they have lost for a long time?" she said.
Ackbar asked "And that is?"
She puts her hand on her chest and said "A sense of belonging and a voice to let them know that whoever it is that invades their homes, they will fight for their freedom" as ALF ships started flying towards the planet. To liberate and help Ryloth.
That's what it is, hope you like it. have a nice day and peace!
