So, how's it going? I've been hiding out these last months with all of this political mumbo-jumbo. I can't really focus on my stories without something political butting in and interrupting me and making me lose my motivation. This is a long chapter, as a sorry for my absence, and I hope you forgive me *bat eyes innocently*. Also, to point some things out before I get to the Reviews.

It has come to my attention that some people have taken it as a bad thing that Naruto is now involved with the Revanites. I don't want to group people together but I know that if anyone had a Star Wars influenced childhood they would know the Expanded Universe well and not buy into this Disney fuckup. Revan has been, by far, my most favorite character in the EU with the exception of maybe Darth Nihilus, but only because Nihilus can take the Force from all living organisms. Anyway, I'm sorry to those who don't like where I go with this but it's my story and it's unfortunate this one thing makes the story ruined to you.

TheOneKing: Granted, I know with the review you left you won't see this but I'll answer anyway. Naruto is a MORALLY dark character. He believes in torture, mass killings, and the death of whoever he deems his enemy at all cost but will not sacrifice his allies in doing so. He believes in redemption, though his trust is another situation.

Also, a big thanks to Veltarin, Fuyuriku, Blackholelord, Blazeknight26, Raikaguken, PenPanther, Oniele, Fallen-Ryu, Adjuster, Void Dragon, and all of the guests who come and read and support the story. There are many more who have followed and favorited this story but that would take up a lot of the story. Without any of you I don't think I'd keep writing this fanfic. So thank you.

Chapter Summary: While Kory heads to Balmorra for one of the Sith holocrons, Naruto helps Admiral Ranken on her assault on the Kuat Drive Yards. Here, Republic's stubborn Fleet Admiral Bey'wan Aygo refuses to surrender, and Naruto plans to make the man regret it.

Chapter Eight - Kuat Drive Yards

"What are we doing, young master?"

"Shh!" Naruto shushed the large Dashade behind him as he hid against a wall. He had his eyes trained on the most beautiful sight to his opinion; it is the same young woman who was with Arkous the day he arrived on Dromund Kaas. Her blonde hair covered just below her ears and dark yellow eyes just pierced the blonde man's heart as soon as he saw her. He was in Kaas City looking for supplies to replace his lightsaber's power node and instead found her walking around without a care. He just had to follow her. That didn't make him a stalker, right?

Anyway, it seemed that Khem wasn't pleased with his master acting this way but he kept any rude comment to himself. He wouldn't be fed the Force that Naruto gave off naturally if he annoyed the blonde too much. "It is just another Sith female. There are plenty of them walking around."

"Yes, Khem, there are plenty of them but that's what makes her different." Naruto whispered as he slowly followed his prey. "Unlike all other women I have been with, she has something that just captures my heart. She has a serene aura yet her eyes show the power of a true Sith. Has Tulak Hord ever fell in love?"

The Dashade was quiet for a second before responding, "Once, and master tore her heart out. Is that love?"

Naruto sighed and hung his head in failure before turning to his companion. "Love is a feeling that most sentient beings can feel. It is when we have found the perfect person that appeal to our likes and we want to spend our life with them. Often it can be associated with lust or a simple whim but love is real, albeit nearly impossible to gain and keep. Like when you feed on the Force, you feel that blissfulness and invincibility when we are with who we love. I have lusted after many women, Khem, but not once have I felt love. This is a new feeling."

"Oh, is my little Naru-chan falling in love?"

Naruto froze when he heard Haku behind him. She was the last person he wanted to know about his feelings, since she is also the one to tease him about it. "And talk about one of the whims. Stay away from women, Khemy, they're demons in disguise."

"I don't think puny Sith can be a demon."

"Who is it, Naru-chan?" Haku asked grabbing the boy before he could use the Force to launch himself somewhere else. He didn't know where he would go but it would be better than here, but all strength left his body as soon as she grabbed his bicep just above the elbow.

Well fuck, Naruto groaned in his mind, his eyes not leaving from Khem's face, almost begging for help, but the Dashade simply stared in what could be perceived as amusement. "Khem, can you eat my Force energy and kill me before I get tortured a worse way?"

"I would never be able to eat all of your Force. It will take several lifetimes."

"Shit." Naruto breathed.

"Are you going to answer my question?" Haku asked, amused with the blonde's acting. "Or will I have to beat it out of you?"

Naruto simply stared forward, refusing to move, breathe or even acknowledge her existence - or his for that matter. He silently turned to her, his body tense and rigid much to his friend's amusement, and stared into her dark eyes. "If I tell you will you let me go?" He got a grinning nod. "You know the blonde Sith woman that was with Arkous when we first arrived to the Citadel, right?" Another nod, this time with a knowing glint in her eyes. "I saw her when shopping here. I started following her."

Haku slowly let go of the blonde, silent for a single second before she pushed herself forward and wrapped her arms around the blonde Sith Lord's neck. "Aw! Naru-chan is the stalker type! So cute!"

Naruto felt the eyes of many Imperial citizens and Sith looking at him like he was a circus attraction. He pried the girl off of him, only slightly amused with the girl, and was relieved when the blonde woman was nowhere in sight. He turned to the grinning brunette and glared. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"You got a holocall from an Admiral by the name of Ranken. She has requested your help."

"Right," Naruto nodded slowly like he was thinking of answering. "Did she say what she wanted?"

Haku smirked, "In her words, 'Lord Naruto is to report to the Imperial fleet at Kuat'. My guess is that you'll be taking or destroying the Drive Yards. Or maybe there's a secret love triangle going on?"

"No," Naruto shook his head to both, cringing at the last remark, as he turned to the taxi speeder station, motioning for both to follow him. "There's no point in attacking the Kuat Drive Yards if they didn't expect to capture it. If we were to destroy it, my ships would have been called to handle the problem or it'd have been done already. Since it hasn't happened, I'm thinking that the objective is capture and contain, where we will be able to push out our own amount of fleet ships."

Naruto got into his own speeder and spoke as Haku and Khem got in. "I hate to say it, but my name has began to spread like wildfire, as well as my abilities and as the container of the Force-Beast. That brings people expectant of me to be capable of solving their problems easily, and free at that! Ranken was the apprentice of Kilran, so she must have learned of me through him or by any of my expeditions for the Empire, and that is the only reason I am going to hear her request. Either way, we are going to show up to her fleet and we are going to do as she asks."

Haku nodded at the man's words as she looked to the stormy clouds. "Isn't it funny how easily our society molded into this Empire?"

Naruto glanced at the brunette before shrugging. "We have something to offer them. We didn't fight much when they took our planet, and when those stubborn royals fought to keep their rulership died, we were able to reach an agreement."

"But we don't even know their Emperor!" Haku stated out in frustration, raising her hands to the Citadel. "He doesn't speak, and the Sith Council have almost no contact with him either! Who is this Emperor? What is he doing? Does he even care about the war?"

"Haku," Naruto stopped the girl as he watched where he was going. "On our world we barely knew who we followed. Ninja followed their Kage, and yet they answered to the Daimyo, who could care about himself or whoever payed more. Clans answered to their family Head and would abandon their friends and village if their Head said so. Here, it's the same thing except they actually have a strong central government in the form of the Council. The Emperor is a man who ruled the ways of his government for over a thousand years. I don't think he needs to show his face when he's already accomplished everything, and when everything is going this smoothly."

Haku planted her chin in her hand, glaring at the ground. "Yeah. I guess you're right."

"I know." Naruto grinned as he landed at his compound, near his shuttle. He pulled out a holocommunicator and dialled for Kakashi.

"Hello?"

"Scarecrow, I need you prepared to head for the Imperial Fleet outside of Kuat." Naruto told the man.

"Right now?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, fine. We'll be ready once you're up here, my lord." Naruto grinned as he pocketed his comm device and opened the door to a building outside his compound.

Inside the building is his personal Imperial Interceptor with complete black metal plating, the only color coming from the small red lights between some plating. Inside the ship is the latest anti-radar cloaking technology that kept him from being detected by almost any enemy, with the exception of some certain specially-made Valor-class ships. Granted, such technology were on his Gage- and Harrower-class ships, the hulking metal warships are easier to detect as his ship is just a speck in space compared to them. However, both served their purpose for what his people knew best.

Naruto pressed a button and watched as a ramp lowered in front of him. He was about to board when a voice stopped him.

"Lord Naruto."

Naruto turned to see a young man in heavy, metallic armor with a black-red scheme. He had two lightsabers at his waist and vibroblade hidden in his right boot. His skin is fair with the only blemish being two red tattoos, one on his forehead as an exotic M and the last on his neck. His eyes are a light blue, almost white, and black hair cut short and forming a small spike at the front.

"Yes?" Naruto asked, stealing an amused glance when he saw Haku staring.

"The Dark Council has ordered for you to take these Republic defectors with you. They will now be under your service, for your service helping the Empire." The young Sith stepped to the side to allow the door to his hangar accessible.

Naruto watched as a group of soldiers, clad in Republic special forces armor; the leader is an old human man with short brown hair and brown eyes. Behind him is a young, beautiful Mirialan woman with black hair and icy blue eyes. To her left is a tall black Human man with black hair shaved into three individual lines, two thick flanking a single thin line, and brown eyes. To the left of the man is a cybernetic young Human man with one brown eye, the right eye being replaced with a cybernetic, and pale skin. Finally, the last member of the group to the Mirialan's right, is a Zabrak male with hazel eyes and no hair.

"Present yourselves." The Sith barked out.

"Lieutenant Harron Tavus, former commander of the Havoc Squad in the Republic." The leading man saluted.

"Captain Zora, but I go by Wraith." The Mirialan followed after, catching Naruto's wandering gaze.

"Lieutenant Bex Kolos, Gearbox." The black man stood at attention, not saluting.

"Lieutenant Rylar Dorant, call me Needles." The cybernetic man introduced himself.

"Lieutenant Vanto Bazren, Fuse." The Zabrak saluted, his body fidgeting under the blonde's intense gaze.

Naruto looked at the Sith before walking to Tavus until he stood in front of him, letting his eyes gaze into the eyes of the man as if he could see into his soul. He was silent for a few, letting the pressure sink into the man, laughing to himself when he saw the man only sweating. "Why did you betray your Republic, Lieutenant? Now, be careful what you say because I hate traitors whether they are Republic or Imperial, so make a good excuse or you lose your head."

Harron Tavus swallowed a lump in his throat, feeling that his life could end here - as a traitor to his people, a nobody. "The Republic isn't a place for people like us, Lord. We are forgotten by the Republic if there is no gain for them and I don't want to risk my life for that."

"What makes you think we'll be any different?" Naruto asked, his personality turning dark so that he can better gauge the man's personality and intentions. "If you become of no use to the Empire, we'll also abandon you. You know that?"

Tavus was quiet as he tried to find the words to say. "I do know that, sir. But we'll continue serving a use until we die in duty. As long as you don't forget me or my team."

Naruto glanced at the rest of the team, his eyes skimming over each and every one until his stare came to the Mirialan. Her eyes haven't left his body since he started talking to Tavus, as if she was trying to read his threat level or just ogling him. He smirked as he turned back to Tavus and thumbed over his shoulder to his ship. "Get on, and take off that horrible armor. You won't wear those colors around me."

Tavus saluted before rushing to the ramp in a brisk walk, his team following suit.

Naruto turned to Haku and jerked his head to the compound. "Go grab five of our armors in the Armory, and five service blasters."

"You got it." Haku nodded, leaving with a glance at the Sith.

When she left, Naruto turned to the man. "What is your name?"

"Zesperith, my Lord." The named Sith replied, bowing his head. "I'm the apprentice to Darth Marr."

"Interesting," Naruto nodded and watched him silently until Haku arrived with a large crate. "Have a good day, Zesperith. Good luck in your training."

Naruto grabbed the crate and easily dragged it to the inside of the ship until he came upon the main room. In the middle to the left is a holoprojector with a mail terminal behind it. Further down the left was the meeting room and private rooms for passengers. To his right down the hall are two rooms, one his with just a bed and the other with the hyperdrive.

Once he entered he was met with the group, them having nothing but their under armor bodysuit, and pushed the crate to them with his right booted foot. "Change into these," He told them as they opened it and started pulling out pieces of custom armor. "These will allow you to stand out from a regular soldier, meanwhile showing your allegiance to me and the Empire. Wear them at all times except for when in my Compound or my ships."

"Yes, sir." The group responded as they inspected the armor.

"The chestpiece and legs are made of a strong cortosis smithing so that the worse that will happen when shot by a blaster is that you'll be knocked unconscious. The armguards and boots are made of Phrik for its ability to resist electricity and lightsabers, which will be helpful for you in your new line of work with who you'll be expected to fight." Naruto informed them as he watched them dress, eyes pleased to see how well it looked.

"Fight who, may I ask, my Lord?" Harron asked, tightening the last strap on his right forearm armor.

"Jedi, of course." Naruto answered pleasingly, to himself; to the group of soldiers it sounded like he was planning someone's death. "And Sith, when the need arises. You will be expected to combat them, without them getting to you. Of course, I made it easier with your helmets."

"How so?" Wraith spoke up this time, picking up hers to look inside - not putting it on, however, as she still didn't trust this Sith just yet.

"The HUD will allow you to easily calculate the pattern of your enemy, their position by sonar blips, and your armors condition. It is also connected to your new YV-26 Blaster Rifles to allow better aiming and predicted impact of your shot. You are all connected through commlink, but that also means I have access to your signal. There is only one and if I sense any more than that, you'll die. Am I understood?"

"Crystal, sir." Harron nodded his head, slipping the black and orange helmet on his head.

"Good. Now, you're going to be testing your worth today. We're going to be spearheading the assault on the Kuat Drive Yards." Naruto watched the shock from the group and grinned. "What? Already shaken up? I would've expected more."

"But, an attack on the Drive Yards? It's a fortress, and the Republic aren't going to let it up easy." Gearbox was the one to speak, already with his helmet on and weapon attached to his back.

"That's why they aren't going to know. Right now, they have their forces focusing on taking back Balmorra from the Empire and recover the ground they've lost on Alderaan. The Jedi are spread too thin and are taking on too much to react to anything unexpected." Naruto nodded to Haku for her to lift off. "However, we can expect heavy resistance, mostly droids and Republic troopers. We will decide more when we reach Admiral Ranken."

Naruto watched as Haku landed the ship in the docking bay of the Black Talon where Kakashi currently waited for him. He walked down the ramp to meet the man, giving a jerk of his head to the soldiers. "The Dark Council decided to dump these Republic defectors on me. Make sure they get a room while I go and put in our destination coordinates."

"Of course, Naruto. Let me assign a marine and I'll be up." Kakashi said and was going to walk away when he stopped. "Oh, before I forget, the vulgar red thing is on the bridge waiting for you."

"Vulgar red thing?" Naruto asked himself as he continued his walk to the bridge. He went through everything he knew was red, and then which of them are vulgar. "Her? Why would she be here? I thought she would listen to me and stay at the compound on Estea."

"Does this vulgar red thing happen to be that lapdog servant of yours?" Haku asked, her tense voice and body showing Naruto she was holding in the anger she felt about the person in her head.

Ah, right. They never really got along.

Naruto was about to answer when a marine came launching out of the Bridge room.

"I fucking said where the fuck is Naruto!"

"Yup." Naruto said simply as he resumed his walk, instructing two soldiers to take the unconscious marine to the medbay with his hands without speaking.

"Naruto!"

Immediately stopping his trudge to the control center, Naruto rooted himself to the metal floor with the Force as he was tackled by a blur and only saw flowing red hair and pale arms wrapped around his neck. The smell of strawberries filled his nose and a small bust pressed into his back. He sighed as a face snuggled into the right trapezius muscle on his shoulder. "What are you doing here, Tayuya. I told you to stay on Estea, and now I find you on my ship injuring my marines. Is that any way to treat my property?"

"Damn, sorry." The redhead mumbled, squeezing tighter around the man's neck. "But you've been fucking gone for four damn months. Do you have any fucking idea how boring the damn world is now that this Empire found us? I haven't been able to kill anyone for the whole fucking time you've been gone!"

Naruto shook his head and walked up the steps to the main controls, Tayuya hanging on him like a cape. "Please get off me so I can put in the coordinates. I won't run off."

As the redhead woman let him go, he was able to steal a glance at Haku. "But I can't say much for Haku."

"Oh, right, forgot your side bitch was right here." Tayuya grinned and turned to the raven. "How's it going, getting Naruto all to yourself? I thought you would learn the last time he rejected you."

"Tayuya," Naruto warned.

"Yeah, yeah, I won't annoy your little pet." The redhead huffed before turning to him with crossed arms.

Naruto actually looked at her clothing and raised his eyes in surprise. She wore a black crop top that showed her smooth stomach and toned abs, grey bindings covering her otherwise impressive chest. More grey bindings were wrapped below her navel into her soft black pants that were cut along the sides to her knee, and a utility belt containing many surprising things. The first is a curved lightsaber, matte silver with black rubber grips, hanging to her hip. The second is a Imperial standard-issue blaster pistol that she had to her right.

"Where did you get all of that?"

Tayuya looked at him, then at her hips. "Did you already forget my great body, Naruto?" The girl teased before unclipping the lightsaber. "I got this from a little intruder a month ago. Someone wandered into your property and couldn't handle the seals you've had all over the place. So I took it from his corpse and trained with it. It was powerful and cut through everything so I've kept it."

Naruto nodded his head in understanding. Although the lightsaber is the tool of a Force-user from Dark or Light - or Grey - he learned that not only Sith or Jedi use lightsabers. Mandalorians used them as trophies from Jedi they've killed and species such as the Kaleesh have been known to use them. Though, the potential of harming yourself with it is still high, greatly so when one is not attached to the Force to accurately guide the blade to its target.

"My lord," Kakashi interrupted, looking between the blonde and the redhead before continuing, "We are prepared for lightspeed. I have the Havoc Squad members getting cozy."

"Good. You may jump. Or whatever." Naruto nodded.

Naruto walked onto the bridge of Admiral Ranken's flagship, led by a marine. Tayuya and Haku were behind him, still giving glares to each other.

"Welcome to Kuat Drive Yards, Lord Naruto. The beating heart of the Republic navy, a heart we are going to pierce." The Admiral said as he came up the steps behind her, the Sith woman with her giving a long glance at him. "For centuries now, Kuati ships have produced entire fleets for our enemy, from the smallest starfighter to the biggest Valor-class cruisers. We're going to turn that production in our favor."

Admiral Ranken turned to Naruto and he looked at the Drive Yards outside the window. "I have been told that Kuat is a hard nut to crack. What makes you feel up to the task, Admiral?"

It was Lord Krovos that answered him. "Before Admiral Ranken, there has been no one passionate enough to complete the mission. Fleeting attacks that ends with us losing a dreadnought or two, but nothing to outright challenge the Drive Yards."

"This is my initiative from top to bottom!" Ranken spoke fervorously as she gained a fiery spark in her eyes. "An executive order executed under the aegis of Darth Marr, who also suggested me to you."

"Darth Marr has spoken highly of you, Lord Naruto." Krovos spoke again, eyes inquisitive as she watched every action made by the blonde.

"And your faith is well-placed. I am not one to easily fail others." Naruto bowed his head in respect.

"Right now, our plan is to get you and your team into the hangar bay and secure that position so our marines can start unloading into the Drive Yards. Then, we are going to have you split into three groups. One group will go to the cannon emplacements to prevent future ships from being shot down. The other group will head to the starship assembly and get data on Kuati blueprints. Meanwhile, you will head to the control room and take care of the insufferable Admiral Bey'wan Aygo. He has been a pain in the Empire's ass since the last war. A great strategic mind, but that's what makes him dangerous."

Naruto nodded and silently thought to himself. The hangar bay will be heavily guarded, but not so much as when they learn that they are attack specific areas. But, if they could secure the hangar bay, they could spread like a plague and take over the whole facility within the next hours. The only question was if he was leading the only boarding party, it could take days to control the whole facility.

"Are we the only boarding party going into Kuat Drive Yards?" Naruto asked the nagging question, looking to Ranken and Krovos for the answer.

"No, other dreadnoughts with their orders are spread out around the world to attack the facility as soon as we start." Krovos answered for Ranken.

"Good," Naruto nodded to himself. If everything went well, they will have complete control of the facility within five hours. That is to say, if the other boarding parties did their job well. He felt confident in this mission. "Okay, I'll take my leave now."

"Good luck. May the Force serve you well." Krovos gave the farewell as Ranken walked away.

"She always does." Naruto grinned cheekily.

As the blonde man left with his group he started talking to the two women behind him. "This is how it's going to be when we clear the hangar. Tayuya, you will take half of the marines we arrive with and go to their cannons. Haku, you to the starship assembly. Copy every and all blueprints they have and make copies of their research on strong starship designs."

"You got it." Haku nodded as she stepped up into the transport shuttle.

"Sir," One of the twenty marines on the ship with them addressed the blonde Sith Lord. "We are ready to go when you are."

"Good, then let's go." Naruto commanded, getting a nod to the soldier before he relayed the message to the pilots and the doors closed.

Naruto jumped off the starship and onto the metal floor of the hangar bay, deflecting blaster shots with his lightsaber as his team of marines jumped out behind him so they were protected while shooting back. Haku had gotten off the ship and hid behind a cargo crate, providing sniper support against those on the upper levels. Tayuya, however, was beside him, using her stolen lightsaber occasionally while using the blaster to shoot the stragglers.

Naruto was disappointed with the unorganised soldiers, in his mind this would be a place to have experienced soldiers protecting it, and didn't bother to give quarter to the soldiers that surrendered - instead, crushing them with the Force to the point that there armor did nothing to protect them. He sent a torrent of Force lightning in the direction of retreating Republic soldiers that tried to escape through one of the doors to the rest of the Drive Yards. They died screaming and begging for mercy.

He turned to the left when large doors opened and more soldiers started charging in, blindly shooting their weapons at the group. Naruto grasped a large unused Republic ship and tossed it at the group, obliterating the door in a large fiery explosion. He tested it by searching through the Force for any of the soldiers and sensed none of them alive, however more were gathering in the right hangar.

"More coming from the right!" He shouted to the ninety plus marines. "Get in your positions now or it's your life you forfeit!" As the marines got behind cover, some dropping portable energy shields, he turned to Haku and pointed up to the balcony. "Haku! Get up top and pick the soldiers off! Don't shoot any of the Jedi! They're mine!"

"You got it, Naruto!" The girl nodded before jumping onto a steel ladder and started quickly climbing up.

Naruto turned to Tayuya for a second before starting his walk to the opening hangar doors. "You better know how to use that weapon, Tayuya!"

He took off in a sprint and, with a leap to the door, met the first soldier to make a single step into the main hanger with a overhead slash through his whole body - cutting from his left shoulder to his crotch. Naruto used the Force to launch the severed body back into two other soldiers before starting his slaughter, all with the hail of blaster bullets from the Imperial marines taking care of the ones around him. He could sense a smaller group - around twenty - of soldiers entering from the other direction but Tayuya was successfully handling the situation.

Naruto's orange blade met with green and he was face-to-face with a beautiful Miraluka woman; she has black hair held up in a top-knot ponytail and tan skin, purple lipstick on her lips that were met in a thin line as she fought back his strength. She wore a white, skin-tight robe top over a tan undershirt and white robe bottoms divided at the waist by a grey belt.

"The Jedi don't know the beautiful women they have in their ranks," Naruto commented lightly before pushing the young Jedi back and tossed a Republic soldier into her with the Force. She easily crumbled to the ground when she was hit with her comrade, too easily to be an experienced Knight. A Padawan, Naruto realised. "Where is your Master?"

Naruto's light-hearted question was answered when he had to swerve to the left and jump back when a blue lightsaber blade almost pierced and cut him in half. The Jedi Master, a Cathar, muscled with brown hair and light brown skin and calculating hazel eyes. He wore a traditional Jedi outfit and stood by his Padawan protectively as she got up. "Are you alright, Padawan?"

"Yes, Master. I was caught off-guard."

Naruto grinned as he idly twirled his lightsaber in his hand. "This area is captured in the name of the Empire. Surrender to me, and I will treat you with kindness. No finger will be laid on you, or your padawan. Refuse me, and I will make her a special treat for my marines when I've won this battle, and you'll be an obedient servant aboard my flagship."

"Sith do not show mercy," The Cathar spoke as he made no move to fight. "Why would we expect anything else from you?"

Naruto kept his grin, this time it made it to his eyes. "Would you believe me if I said I am a Sith with morals?"

"Not at all."

Naruto shrugged as he sensed the last Republic soldier be cut down by Tayuya, who led the Imperial marines into the room - keeping a fifteen foot distance from him. "You have a lot of blasters pointed at you, Jedi, as well as cornered. I still offer my mercy."

Naruto watched the man's resolve crumble, and he extinguished his lightsaber and nod to his Padawan to do the same, and threw their lightsabers to him. "Good choice. Marine!" Naruto exaggeratedly pointed to a random marine. "Bring these Jedi to the ship and put them in Force-repelling binds. If a single touch is laid on either of them, and I will be making sure, it'll be all of your deaths. Am I understood?!"

"Yes, my Lord!" The man shouted in fear, quickly leading the Jedi to the ship.

Naruto made it to the double doors that would lead to the Cannon Emplacement or Starship Assembly rooms and turned to the marines. "Want all of you to split up; half of you go with Tayuya and the other with Haku. I'm heading to the Control Room alone. As an incentive for you to fight at your fullest, and to survive, any who survive will get a year's training among my men. I'm sure you've heard of my training regime."

There was a sudden murmur of excitement from the large group of marines before they started dividing themselves to the two women. Naruto, in turn with a grin, started his ascent to the control center, and by ascent he just started crushing parts of the walls and ceilings to the one area he felt a group of life-forces gathered higher in the back of the Yards. When he finally broke through the ceiling that they were at he was not surprised with the unique trio that opposed him to his last target.

"Insufferable," The blonde thought as he lazily looked at the three.

"It seems that the invading Sith has arrived." Naruto heard from a human Jedi in brown robes, landing in the large room.

"There's only one, where are the others?" A Republic Major asked in question, charging his carbine. "I thought they said that an armada has appeared? And they send one single Sith to face us."

"I'm all that's needed." Naruto grinned, eyeing the large Republic Sentry, although he can see how this one has some modifications. "Especially to you lousy bunch."

"Arrogant and impudent. Typical." The Major scoffed before raising his rifle. "I'll wipe the floor with your remains!"

"Die, Imperial scum!" The robot yelled as it started shooting his weapon with pinpoint accuracy.

Naruto didn't bother to pull out his lightsaber just yet and instead deflected each bolt with the Force, holding his hand up with his palm facing the three Republic adversaries. He wasn't shocked when the Jedi was the first to launch himself at him, making him bring out his lightsaber while still having the Force protect him as he engaged in lightsaber combat. He was booted to the side, launched a few yards before he landed and started running back at the Jedi, his lightsaber swirling around in a furious flurry of orange.

Naruto jumped, still twirling his blade, and landed beside the Jedi. He blocked an expected slash and bowed forward, pushing the Master's blue blade away, and dodged a tan boot that would have hit him on the head. Naruto took his lowered position with grace and, with speed the Master could not follow this time, he slashed off his leg from below the knee before sending the killing thrust to his stomach.

As the Jedi Master crumbled to the ground, and the Major paused his assault in shock from watching the Jedi be cut down, Naruto was already charging a large ball of black lightning before releasing it at the enraged Republic robot. The Major, however, had no time to register the robot's circuitry be fried to a crisp from the dark Force attack, and the blade of orange fire be held at his throat.

"You've lost, Major." The blonde said before completing the swing and decapitated the Republic soldier.

There was a sudden eerie silence as Naruto stood among the two dead bodies and stared up into the ceiling, his eyes closed as he took a moment to calm his adrenaline-induced mind from racing so much. He gave a long, drawn-out sigh as he extinguished his lightsaber and started walking to the doors of the control room. With a flick of his wrist, he opened the durasteel doors with a blast of the Force and walked in without a care.

Reaching the control console, the blonde started pressing different buttons to open every door within his section of the Drive Yards, as well as reprogram the autoturrets and republic droids to target their own soldiers. He opened the comm channel to the Drive Yards speakers, a small grin on his face.

"Attention Imperial soldiers, this is Lord Naruto. The Control Room has been secured and their weapons are turned on them. This is a day sure as won for the Empire, but we have a long time until we have flushed every Republic soldier out. Keep fighting, for the Empire."

When he was finished, he slashed through the console once with his lightsaber before leaving for the hangar bay.

EDIT: Thanks to Fuyuriku for pointing out my mistakes, I fixed the errors in the sentences that were pointed out and I noticed. This was a little rushed, but I didn't make as many as I thought.
