Greetings everyone. I humbly welcome you all to this story.
As many of you have probably seen from the teaser chapter that this chapter replaced, this is a Naruto X Star Wars Crossover.
The story will be quite different to the Teaser Chapter, so don't worry, I didn't give much away.
One of the things I WILL keep however is the bit with Naruto being part of the Je'daii Order. And Instead of the Code I came up with for the Teaser, I will instead use the Je'daii Code which I only found after posting that Chapter.
I will however keep the interaction between Mace and Yoda the same in this Chapter and instead do something different where the Je'daii Fleet came…and Yes, there is one bloke who came up with an Idea for two ships, a Cruiser that all 5 'elements' use, as well as a Super Carrier used by Kumo.
I will go further into Ships and that stuff after the chapter.
Anyway, on with the Story.
…
Jedi Code
There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.
Sith Code
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
…
Coruscant, 25 BBY
The little old green Jedi Grand master sat quietly in contemplation, sitting alone in his chambers atop his usual meditation chair.
As always, his senses were being clouded by darkness, though at the point where light and darkness collided, he always sensed a beacon of power that he had never been able to locate, even though he had spent the last 600 years trying hard to do so.
"To old for this Shit, I have become." He muttered to himself.
Once more he had failed to locate the source of the great power he was seeking, a power that felt as though it was in perfect balance.
Master Yoda opened his eyes when he heard the door open and sensed his old friend, Master Mace Windu, walk in.
"Everything alright?" Mace asked.
"Hmm. The Balance, still elude me, it does." Yoda answered, referring to the power mentioned earlier.
"Do you have any idea what it could be?" Mace asked.
"Hmm. Idea, I have not. Know what it is, I fear I do." Yoda responded. Mace blinked and leaned forward. This was the first time Yoda willingly spoke about 'The Balance'.
"In many ways, the Force works. Guide us, it does. Teach us, it does better." Yoda began, before reaching out and pulling a Holocron Mace had never seen before out from it's hiding spot.
This Holocron was unlike any other that the Haruun Kal Jedi Master had seen before. Unlike the Sith Holocron, which were four sided devices and the Jedi Holocrons, which here generally 6 sided cubes or 12 sided devices, this Holocron was almost a perfect sphere.
Covering its surface were numerous spirals of different sizes and colours, with some of them appearing as though they were turning around its centres, giving Mace a small Migraine.
Using the Force, Yoda telekinetically moved the Holocron between the two Jedi Masters, before with a series of 'clicks', the sphere separated into 8 equal parts, which spread out and projected a Hologram between them.
The Hologram depicted two sets of writing in a Language Mace hadn't seen in a number of years.
"Isn't that the old Je'daii language?" Mace asked.
Yoda nodded, before reciting the texts. Mace recognized them as the Creeds of the Jedi and Sith respectively, though there were numerous differences, chief of which being that the creeds were more basic than the current ones.
The Hologram suddenly shifted to show a third Creed, which Yoda began to read out to his old, yet still comparatively young, friend.
'There is no Ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no fear, there is power.
I am the heart of the Force.
I am the revealing fire of Light.
I am the mystery of darkness.
In balance with Chaos and Harmony.
Immortal in the Force.'
Mace looked at Yoda in confusion.
"I do not understand." Mace said.
"Understand the ancient Je'daii, I do not either." Yoda admitted. "Searched long and hard for answers, have I. Still, answers, I do not have."
"Are you telling me that there is still an order of Je'daii out there? And that no one has ever found out about them?" Mace asked.
"Hope not, I do." Yoda said.
Suddenly both of them shivered.
"A disturbance in the Force, I sense." Yoda said.
"As do I, Yoda." Mace agreed. "It feels like someone is angry…"
In his private chambers
Darth Plagueis shivered, feeling the disturbance as well…whilst he couldn't locate the source, he somehow knew that a Woman was the source…
Moments earlier, in a system Far, Far away
"Master Jiraya. Will he be alright?" the Female Knight asked the Admiral of the Recon Fleet, who was standing on the bridge of his Flagship. His back was turned to the Hologram of the female, but he knew that she was not happy.
"The last report I have received from Maelstrom and Dancer, they have successfully boarded a transport to Coruscant on their way to their mission." Jiraya said as he turned to face her.
Unlike other Holograms of the day and age, the Holograms used by his Faction was multi-coloured, but just the usual violet/blue that was used by other factions across the Galaxy.
Therefore the Hologram before him showed an adult female with waist length crimson Hair and violet-purple eyes as well as vulpine features, such as fox ears and a long bushy tail. If you looked closely when she spoke, you would also notice that she had a pair of long canine teeth…
And even though it was only a Hologram, the glare she was giving him was enough to him nearly make step back in fear.
"What exactly is the Nature of their Mission?" Kushina asked.
"It is another Intel mission. They were to get Intel on Dathomir and the Night Sisters." Jiraya quickly sang, not wanting her to come and 'visit'…she was known to do that when people weren't prompt in their answering.
Kushina nodded. "It has been nearly a decade since we heard anything from that group of wierdos." She said, making each and every member of the Je'daii Order who heard her sweat drop. "That damn Jedi Council and the Order of 2 that that Darth Bane introduced a millennium ago, had better not cause Na…Maelstrom any trouble, otherwise I will teach them a lesson." She finished and the aura she released was thick enough to be picked up by the Holo-communication.
(This is where Yoda, Mace and Plagueis felt the tremor.)
Even the Force wouldn't stop them from Kushina's Wrath.
Nobody wanted to mess with a Woman who managed to alter a Moon's orbit just because she was slightly pissed off. Not even her Husband.
Except maybe for her Son…who nudged the Moon back into its proper Orbit after a bit of a…Forcefull…argument.
A few days later
"Finally we are off that slow ass Bucket of Bolts and Rust." The blond male said, stretching his spine as though he had been sitting the whole time. At first glance he appeared Human but upon closer inspection one could see that he had vulpine ears and a tail, though the latter was being repurposed as a bushy belt of sorts.
"Oh come now, Naruto, it wasn't that bad, was it?" the black haired human female asked. Blue eyes met green eyes.
"Is that supposed to be a joke?" he asked.
"Maybe." She said teasingly, putting a finger on her lip seductively, whilst her eyes showed a more mischievous reason.
The Male, Naruto, smirked at her before shacking his head and heading off towards where he felt a concentration of Ashla orientated Force powers.
"Anyway, let's get this mission over and done with, shall we, Shizuka?" he asked his companion.
"Indeed, Naruto." Shizuka answered as she followed him towards the nearest Space intelligence Office.
Behind them rolled a single Astromech Droid, whistling and beeping as it rolled on after them.
"Oi, Language." Naruto growled at the Droid, who held up a three pronged arm, with the two prongs on the side folded down. If the Droid had five prongs, then all but the middle one would have been folded…
The next day
"That was too damn easy…" Naruto mused as he and Shizuka left the Jedi Temple with a Data chip in their possession.
"What, getting the data or that other 'mission' you had?" Shizuka asked as she held his hand with interlocked fingers.
"Both." Naruto said. "It's nice to be around people who aren't as distrustful to strangers for once. Or any of my people for that matter."
After visiting the Space Intelligence Office, they asked about all the Data on the Dathomir System, including the local Fauna and Flora.
Sadly there was only a limited amount of Data there so they were issued with a notice for the Jedi Temple for the two of them to get some additional Data there…and when they arrived, the Jedi Master on Duty just gave it to them like that. No questions asked. The only thing that delayed them was that she wanted to talk with him. She had never seen anyone with vulpine features like him.
With some time to Spare, Naruto sat down and talked with the elder Jedi.
As Naruto, Shizuka and the droid were leaving the Temple, they encountered a small green creature with a walking stick, standing in their path.
"Leaving so soon, are you?" he asked kindly.
"Master Yoda." Naruto and Shizuka said, bowing respectfully. Their intel stated that the current Grand Master of the Jedi Order was a widely respected and wise Person, and thus they showed their respect.
The Droid on the other hand…
A series of Whistles, Beeps and Buzzes from the Droid made Naruto angry.
"Hey, watch your Language, R2BK9." Naruto said. "Yes, he is pint-sized, but he could kick our asses and turn you into scrap without significant effort." His response was a similar series of Whistles, Beeps and Buzzes.
Both Shizuka and Yoda chuckled as Naruto began to argue with the droid, with the Droid obviously throwing Profanities at the Blonde whilst the Blonde was in turn throwing every damn Droid insult in the Book and then some right back at it. Even Yoda, who had lived for over 8 centuries, learned some new Droid Insults from the young Spacer.
"Read up on Dathomir, have you not?" Yoda asked after a good round of chuckles.
"Yes Master." Shizuka said, before slapping Naruto over the head and activated R2BK9's restraining Bolt, shutting them both up. "Our Ship will soon be stopping in that Sector on its way to the Quelii system."
"We usually avoid Systems that don't have proper Spacelanes connected to them." Naruto added. "It's only on Rare occasions that we need to make trips to these disconnected systems, either to pick up some exotic supplies or to transport some people. This time we are transporting a research team over there."
Yoda hummed. "Space for a few more, would you by any chance have?" Yoda asked.
Naruto and Shizuka looked at each other, before shrugging. "We'll need to ask our Captain. Last we heard, we still had a few open bunks." She said.
"Is there a long range Communication terminal our Droid can plug himself in?" Naruto asked.
Yoda nodded. "A bit young to be sharing a Droid, aren't you?" he asked teasingly.
"More like R2BK9 and I are the only ones who can survive Naruto's thought process over extended periods of time." Shizuka added, smirking herself.
…Only for Naruto to start tickling her until she passed out from laughing that hard.
Yoda chuckled again, saying "Young Love, Indeed."
As he turned away to lead Naruto, carrying Shizuka, and R2BK9 to the nearest Communications Array, his Face turned to one of concern.
He had been using the Force to get a feel of these two humans and learned that they are at least Force Sensitive, but their feelings for each other almost blinded his senses. He barely noticed that they were Force Sensitive.
Later
"…and Master Yoda asked us if there are still some open Bunks on board." Naruto finished his explanation, with the Ancient Jedi Master standing near him, as well as another Jedi Master. Ki-Adi-Mundi was another notable Jedi Master, and like Yoda, he had a strange feeling about this upcoming mission.
"We still have space for about 4 others, Naruto. But we don't have much time until we need to travel to Dathomir and then to Quelii." Kakashi said. "We will soon be leaving Sullust and will meet up with you on Coruscant in about 2 days."
"Roger that, Kakashi." Naruto said.
"Oh, and where is your girlfriend, Shizuka?" Kakashi asked. Yoda sighed. There went his plan possibly invite Naruto to become a Jedi.
"Oh, she went at it again and I tickled her into Submission." Naruto bluntly said. Kakashi looked at him, blinked once, blinked twice, then groaned.
"Dude…you two should really go and get a room." Kakashi groaned.
"We already have one…onboard the White Fang, temporary as it is." Naruto's smirk did not help Kakashi's discomfort one bit. Naruto then turned serious. "But still, I find it odd that Grand Master Yoda himself would request us taking on additional passengers, especially Jedi." Said Grand Master remained silent.
Kakashi nodded. "Either he sensed that you are indeed more trouble than you are worth, or something big is going to happen on the way to the Quelii system." He started the sentence with a mirthful expression, before he became serious. "What do you think?"
Now it was Naruto's turn to look at him with a deadpan expression. "Mas…Kakashi, you know full well that I don't care about what could happen. Remember that time on Bespin when a Corelian of all people thought that I was a Corelian thanks to my attitude?"
Kakashi nodded having forgotten that.
What Naruto didn't mention was that if he opened himself up to the Force then and there, every Force sensitive being within 10 parsecs of the planet would sense him…even those who aren't exactly looking for such events, would sense Naruto opening himself to the Force.
He'd also have the entirety of the Jedi Order on his ass if he were to do so on Coruscant. And Naruto had two of the most powerful Jedi Masters in the room with him
"Point." Kakashi agreed. "See you in 2 days. See if you can get us a landing pad near the Jedi Temple."
Naruto nodded and signed off, before turning to Yoda and Ki Adi Mundi.
2 days later
Naruto, Shizuka, R2BK9 stood at the foot of a raised Landing Pad. Behind them stood pretty much all the Jedi Masters who were on the Planet at the time.
Everyone looked up upon hearing a ship approaching.
"Is that a Corellian YV-100 light Freighter?" one Jedi Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, asked.
"That is correct." Naruto confirmed the young boy's question. "However, the White Fang has been heavily modified with upgraded armaments, shielding and hyperdrive because we usually are hired to help protect convoys from Pirate Raids. Let me tell you, some of those Pirate Gangs have bloody Frigates at their disposal."
"Hmm." Yoda hummed. The reasoning was sound enough, though…
"We also added a pair of docks for our fighter escorts." Shizuka said.
A series of whistles and beeps originated from the droid.
"Oh right. Thanks for reminding me, BK9." Naruto said, patting the dome of the astromech. "Never let Shizuka take control of a spacecraft larger than a fighter."
"Hey, I am not that bad." She countered.
"You caused us to spend the entire payment from that one mission on paying the bills for the mental and physical trauma you caused, because inertial dampeners be damned, everyone felt you dodging those asteroids you flew into." Naruto deadpanned.
R2BK9 added his own input.
=You also nearly shot down a civilian transport whilst because you thought the Trigger of the Missile Launcher was the Comm Unit.== It beeped and whistled. ==Let's not forget that time when you nearly killed the entire crew because you wanted a closer look at one of those damn Purgils.==
Anakin couldn't help himself, he and several other Jedi snorted at that.
Shizuka pouted whilst trying to cool her burning cheeks. Naruto chuckled before kissing said cheeks, adding fuel to the fire.
Shortly afterwards, the ship had landed and Naruto and Shizuka approached the ramp with their luggage in hand. R2BK9 rolled after them.
A man with Gravity Defying white/silver hair walked down the ramp and greeted them.
"Naruto, Shizuka, BK9." He greeted. "Welcome back."
"Kakashi." The two answered. "Good to be back. Won't miss the food though."
The response to that comment came in the form of a Cream Skinned Togruta with Pink Lekku and Montrals, which was unusual in and off itself, sending a fist crashing into his face, making him fly back and roll, ending at the feet of Master Yoda.
"Stay away from Women, you should." Yoda quipped, poking the unconscious male with his walking stick, making the downed male groan. All around him, Jedi were agreeing with the wizened Master.
"What the hell is so bad about my cooking, you bastard?" the Togruta shouted, loud enough that the Jedi Younglings could hear her half a mile down below.
"Sakura, he's out cold." Shizuka said after she had rushed over to check on Naruto. "He can't hear you."
"Shut up, Bimbo." The Togruta, Sakura, shouted. Whilst she normally was on good terms with everyone, if pissed off, she was completely open about her opinions about others.
"At least I have SOMETHING here, Flatty." Shizuka growled, veins bulging on her forehead.
"What was that, you Bitch?" Sakura roared, charging. Shizuka followed suit, before both females suddenly were zapped by stun bolts from Kakashi and Naruto.
"Each and every single time…" Naruto groaned out, lowering his blaster pistol.
The Jedi looked at them oddly.
"That was a bit excessive, wasn't it?" Ki-Adi-Mundi asked.
"At this point it was either stun them and let them calm down in the brig or let them fight, then have to clean the blood of the landing pad." Kakashi answered, holstering his own blaster. Like Naruto's, it was a SE-14 light Repeating Blaster modified with a Stun setting and a more powerful fireing mechanism, giving it a bigger punch if needed.
"Naruto, get up and carry these two to the brig…and make sure that they can't reach each other." Kakashi said. Naruto groaned as he got up, righting his nose that was broken. As he walked towards Shizuka and Sakura, he let his tail hang freely.
"If you don't mind me asking, young man, what species are you?" Mace Windu asked.
Naruto didn't answer immediately as he was busy picking up the two females…who were heavier than they looked.
"Several thousand years ago, his ancestors hailed from the planet Amar." Kakashi said.
"So you could say that I am at least part Amaran, though as you can see, their blood is pretty diluted by this point." Naruto added, before walking off.
Kakashi meanwhile turned his full attention to the assembled Jedi.
"Naruto told me that there would be some Jedi who would be coming with us towards Quelii." He said.
Master Yoda nodded.
"In Dathomir System, Dark Powers lurk." He said. "Master Mace Windu, Master Dooku and Master Shaak Ti." The three Jedi Masters stepped forward after grabbing their bags with the force.
"Uhm…are we supposed to keep them safe or will we be the ones being kept safe?" Kakashi asked, eye-smiling, something that even Yoda had never seen before.
Even the stoic Mace Windu cracked a small smile at the jab though.
"Depends, how good is your Pilot."
==Better than Shizuka== they heard R2BK9 whistle.
"Like you are any better." Naruto called out of the ship.
==Fuck you==
"Language!" Naruto shouted.
"Well, at least the journey won't be uneventful." Dooku said dryly.
"That's what worried me." Mace said, boarding the ship.
Shortly afterwards
The three Jedi were pleasantly surprised by the accommodations they were issued. Granted, each of the Cabins was fairly small, but the beds were comfortable and there were ablutions in both Wings.
"How can you fit so many people in here?" the two male Jedi heard their female companion ask one of the crew, a Corellian judging by the man's accent.
"Originally the White Fang was a normal YV-100 light Freighter with a Cargo Capacity of 150 Metric Tons. When modifying the ship, we sacrificed Cargo Space for additional Dorms and the other Upgrades. Now the remaining 40 tons of Cargo space are used as the store for our onboard supplies." He answered. "By the way, the names Sasuke."
"Shaak Ti." The elder Togruta said.
"I also apologize for Sakura. She isn't what people would call the Ideal Togruta." Sasuke sighed.
"Oh, I actually think that she is a prime example of what my people can be if they aren't taught any manners." Shaak Ti said, remembering her youth…there is a very good reason why she is ranked as one of the best fighters in the order, despite being classified as a Jedi Consular…ah, the good old days.
"If that is the case, I will do my best to stay away from Shili." Sasuke said. "'cause Sakura has a habit of climbing into my bunk."
"I am starting to fear for our sanity, old friend." Dooku told Mace, who nodded in agreement.
Fortunately for the three Jedi Masters, the rest of the crew wasn't as…quirky…
Kakashi was the Captain and owner of this particular ship, plain and simple, though he is said to have a habit of arriving late…apparently. They learnt that he was scheduled to arrive three hours before everyone assembled on the Landing Pad.
Naruto and Sasuke were the Pilots for the Space Fighters docked to the starboard and port docking bays and they share a detailed record for all the Pirate ships they had shot down, with Sasuke having a higher count for shooting down other ships, but Naruto making up for that by having a higher number of Corvette Kills and even a Frigate here and there.
Naruto apparently was a ship-owner himself, but that ship wasn't suitable for their current line of work.
Shizuka was Quartermaster as well as the person who manned the top quad Laser turret.
The Bottom Laser Turret was manned by another adult who called himself Tenzo. He was also the chief engineer.
Then there is Sakura, the Co-pilot and onboard Medic…as well as Self-proclaimed Head Chef.
"This stuff tastes better than those pellets we eat whilst on missions." Dooku commented when he first tasted her so called "Delicious nutrient-rich paste".
Needless to say, the three Jedi were strongly applauded by both the crew and the team of Researchers who were on board.
Unknown to everyone not of the crew though, Naruto was busy writing a highly encrypted report home, though he doubted that he'd be able to actually send it until after they a) drop off the scientists and the Jedi and b) make it into the outer rim territories.
That, and he couldn't wait till he returned to the 'Kurama'…
He dearly missed his Ramen stand he had had built onboard that ship of his.
…
AND DONE!
I hope that you liked this chapter, so give the Like and Fav buttons some love and don't forget to review.
As some of you may have noticed, Naruto isn't exactly a Human…as mentioned he is something akin to a Amaran-human hybrid that has become it's own species (But doesn't have a name yet).
Also, Sakura was originally going to be a Twilek, but I decided to add in some AU BS about the Togruta for added kicks, since apart from Shaak Ti, there are very few Togruta's in the Star Wars Universe who actually have significant roles to play…and appear in more than one movie/episode…
I mean, name me one Togruta other than Shaak Ti and Ashoka who fits those Criteria? Other than little Ashla (A Jedi youngling during the time of the Jedi Purge)
And Twileks…there is Aayla Secura, Hera Syndulla, Cham Syndulla, as well as Cham's cronies in SW Rebels…to name a few.
Sasuke is Corelian…the arrogant, never-tell-me-the-odds type.
The rest are all Human, other than Kushina, who is basically of the same species as Naruto.
Now, I know that most of you don't know what a YV-100 light Freighter is…search it up on the Star Wars Wiki. Imagine that ship, just with the 2 side Docking Bays and The same Quad laser Cannons that the Millenium Falcon has.
Another thing…I am still searching for Ideas on Ships for the Je'daii Navy. The Time Period is still Pre-Clone War, so don't come up with things like Imperial Star Destroyers, Executor Star Destroyers and such. The ISD line only came into being in the last months of the Clone Wars.
I will accept altered Hammerhead Cruisers though, since that design is ancient, as well as the standard Dreadnaught-Class Cruisers and any modification you guys come up with…within reason of course.
There is already a request for a Modified Lucrhulk that I have chosen to incorporate into the Je'daii Fleet as a Fighter/Bomber Carrier with a fuck-ton of AA (Figuratively speaking). Basically, the central globe is missing and the Bridge it there where the damn thing connected to the semi ring. Other than that, Armaments are more Dedicated to Anti-Fighter/Bomber defense rather than Turbo-lasering the crap out of other Capital Ships.
As mentioned, the mainstay of the Je'daii fighter corpse is the Kunai-class Space superiority Fighter. Basically, it looks like a Kunai, just with a Cockpit window on one side. While it isn't as fast as a Tie Fighter, it is faster than an X-Wing, has greater maneuverability than both the standard Tie and the X-Wing and can remain in action longer than a Tie, despite having a shield generator on par with that on a Tie Defender. Drawback: it has no Hyperdrive, though like the Jedi Delta Fighter, a Hyperdrive Rig exists.
Armaments: 2 Laser Cannons and an Ion Cannon. Can me retrofitted with Torp Launchers or a light Turbolaser at the expense of the Ion Cannon.
Shields: comparable to those of a T-65B X-wing
Length: 11.2m
Difficulty to Pilot: Better train to be able to keep your Supper in, buddy, 'cause this thing turns on a dime.
I haven't decided yet, but some of the Recon Fleets may use Z-95 Headhunters instead to help blend in and remain relatively below the Radar.
For the Mainstay bomber, if I don't get enough any suggestions to request otherwise, then the BTL Y-Wing with the following Modifications will be the Mainstay Bomber. Firstly the thrusters are replaced with something substantially more powerful, giving those sitting ducks more maneuverability. Secondly, these modded Bombers have Pods of Missiles attached to the sides of the Fuselage. Thirdly, they all carry twin loadouts of Ion-Torpedoes and Proton Torpedoes. Fourth, the turret is removed and is replaced with the second loadout of Torps.
And for goodness sake, the ships aren't painted yellow.
I am looking around for other pre-clone war era mass produced Bombers/Heavy Assault Starfighters that could work, but haven't found much.
Please R&R!
