Hello! How is it going?! Good I hope! First off all, Merry Christmas, even though I am late, happy holidays and a happy new upcoming year! With that out of the way, sorry for being so late with the updating, was gone on a vacation to a different state. However, I do want to assure you that I am still updating my fics, starting with this one. The Untold Prophesy is under Beta right now, so be ready for that. Also, to the review that said everyone's join Naruto without any resistance because of awe. Who exactly did that? Erso and his group of scientists had no choice but to join him, Satelle joined him because he saved her, Thrawn joined him after he was ambushed, his forces killed and destroyed and basically held at gunpoint and told the truth about the Empire. No one joins him because they want to, it was a matter of choice. With that out of the way, I hope you all enjoy this story, bye!
Naruto was a man who was once driven by revenge. Revenge against all those who wronged him, revenge against his family, revenge against the village, and revenge against the very system he was born into. Nothing would stop him from having his revenge. His rage and anger fueled his connection to the Dark Side, but thankfully, he was able to hide that said connection from Sidious by Chakra. However, as the years went by, his goals began to change. He dreamed of an Empire, his Empire, that stretched from the galactic center to the edges of the galaxy. Destroying his homeworld was but a task he wanted to complete due to his dislike towards it.
"You're a Sith." The old man questioned him as Naruto nodded, his eyes having a yellow hue to them. While he was a Sith, he would not let the Dark Side control him. He was in control, not the other way around.
"So?" Naruto questioned as the old man frowned, clearly, he disliked the Sith.
"Who is your Master?" The old man questioned as Naruto smirked, making the old man narrow his eyes.
"I think you know him quite well." Naruto answered as the old man blinked at that answer before his eyes widened before he sighed.
"So, your Anakin's apprentice…" He whispered as Naruto nodded, showing that he had no intentions of fighting.
"So? Did he send you to kill me?" The old man questioned as Naruto frowned.
"Kill you? No, I'm not here to kill you. Cody here wanted to meet you." Naruto answered, pointing at the aged Clone Commander. The old man turned to face the Clone in white armor with yellow markings. Yes, he had served along side this Clone Commander in the Clone Wars. He even considered Cody to be a close friend, even if he was just a Clone.
"Last time I saw you, you ordered an AT-ET to kill me." The old man stated as Cody sighed, he had expected a response like that.
"Forgive me, General Kenobi, but I wasn't in control." Cody said as Kenobi raised an eyebrow. This was news to him.
"What do you mean 'not in control'?" Kenobi questioned as Cody pulled out a holodisk and activated it, showing a hologram of a chip.
"You might know that the Clone Wars was all the doing of Palpatine, however, what you don't know is that he had the Clone Army already under his control even before you discovered us on Kamino." Cody answered as Obi-Wan raised an eyebrow. He remembered how he found the system of Kamino and the Clone Army as a result, ordered by Master Sifo-Dyas.
"What do mean?" Kenobi inquired further as Cody nodded.
"Master Sifo-Dyas's death was not accident, you learned that during the war. However, a few years prior to the beginning of the war, Dooku discovered the Clone Army, and approached the Kaminoans as a representative to the Jedi Order, when he was in fact in league with Palpatine. It was then he had instructed that an inhibitor chip he added to the Clones, in our brains. This chip contained 150 contingency orders, one of them being Order 66. Orders like 66 were designed to override a Clone's will and turn the Clone into a brainwashed soldier." Cody explained as Kenobi frowned at the new information, that would explain why all the Clones simple turned on their Jedi Commanders.
"So, when the Order was given out, you had no control?" Kenobi questioned as Cody nodded.
"Yes, I had no idea about what I had done until after the order had passed. I should have followed Rex's lead and removed the chip." Cody said with regret. Rex had his removed under secrecy after one of the Clones during the war went and killed a Jedi during battle. Kenobi sighed, it seems like Palpatine was in control all along, even before the crisis on Naboo.
"I see…" Kenobi stated as he stood up and walked out of his little home. Naruto and Cody followed as Kenobi watched the setting suns.
"What will you do now?" Kenobi questioned his former comrade.
"I am a Clone, Sir. I was breed for war. The worst thing that can happen to a Clone is being taken out of combat. I will follow Command Uzumaki." Cody answered as Kenobi hummed.
"He's a Sith." Kenobi stated as Naruto chuckled.
"I can assure you Jedi, I might be a Sith, but I don't go around causing chaos for entertainment. Everything I do servers a purpose, a reason." Naruto said as Kenobi frowned. He didn't like Sith's, not after what one did to the Jedi Order. Before Kenobi could speak, Naruto's transmitter started to beep.
"Well, if you will excuse me." Naruto excused himself as he turned and walked to a more isolated place before turning his transmitter on, which reveled to be Thrawn.
"Admiral Thrawn? Is something wrong?" Naruto questioned with a serious face. Thrawn meanwhile was standing with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, there is. Before you captured me, I was on my way to destroy a rebel cell. My Fleet is still stationed above the Rebel base." Thrawn answered as Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"And that is a problem because?" Naruto questioned as Thrawn frowned.
"If I am not there by the given time, the Empire will be alerted, and they will try to find me. It's not ever day a Grand Admiral goes missing with a Star Destroyer." Thrawn reasoned as Naruto hummed.
"That indeed is a problem. Very well, take one of the Star Destroyers and its crew. Finish your task and if possible, try your Fleet into a trap. We could use more ships." Naruto ordered as Thrawn nodded and cut the transmission. Naruto stored the device away and turned to watch the setting suns.
"Hate sand hu?" Naruto commented as he turned his attention to the vast desert. He wondered why his master hated sand. Naruto found the scenery before him a relaxing experience. The desert win, the cool nights, and the freedom that came with it. He would never know why his master hated sand.
With Thrawn:
Thrawn is a respected man amongst those who were under his command. The Chiss was a warrior, a survivor who had made his way up the ranks. He wasn't your typical Imperial commander who was overconfident about his victory. No, he knew that the Empire's doctrine on large, powerful warships had its flaws. For example, the Empire relied on swarms of cheap star fighters, allowing the rebels easy victory in star fighter combat. Even with such a disadvantage, Thrawn was able to pull victory repeatedly.
"Sir, everything's ready." A Clone Trooper dressed in a Storm Troopers armor stated as Thrawn nodded. He had the Clones switch out their armor with that of the Storm Trooper. If he had taken Clone into the battle, the others would no doubt he alerted to the strange troopers with strange armor.
"Then let us be underway, commander." Thrawn stated as the Clone officer nodded before the ship was underway, jumping into hyperspace. While the ship was in hyperspace, Thrawn observed his new warriors in their element. He was quite impressed by these Clones. They were far better soldiers, operators, engineers, pilots and so on. They were even more competent then Storm Troopers. With that in his mind, he decided to take a walk around the ship, getting familiar with the crew.
"Do we have to wear these suits? Why can't we fly our fighters?" He heard one of the Clone Pilots, who was wearing a black flight suit for a Tie fighter. His comrade chuckled.
"Such it up Seeker. We can't go flying around ARC-170's, not with any Imperial warships around." His comrade reasoned as they kept walking. Thrawn hummed at the interaction between the two Clones. Its seemed like that these Clones were more then just mindless soldiers. They could think for themselves, as individuals. Meaning that in battle they would not hesitate to take the initiative. After walking around the vessel for almost an hour, he made his way back to the bridge, just in time as the ship jumped out of hyperspace. Good, it was time to see what these Clones were capable of.
With Naruto:
Naruto sighed as he dodged a saber strike from Kenobi. After he had sent Thrawn to finish his business, he went back to Kenobi's small home, only to dodge a saber strike from the old Jedi. Naruto ordered Cody to not to interfere as Kenobi fought him.
"I once made the mistake of letting a Sith live, and I won't make it again." Obi Wan said as he charged in for a strike, only to Naruto dodge the strike. The fact that this boy wasn't using his saber to block his strikes was getting to the old Jedi.
"We don't need to fight." Naruto recommended as he dodge an attack from the old man, who only kept on pushing the offensive.
"The Sith are evil, you are a Sith." Kenobi reasoned as used a Force push to throw Naruto back, only for Naruto to use a Force push himself, causing the attacks to cancel out.
"Oh please, don't act like that the Jedi's are free of atrocities. Besides, you couldn't beat me, not even in your prime." Naruto stated as he kept on dodging attack after attack, causing Kenobi to tire out as he kept on attacking.
"If you die, who will help the boy?" Naruto questioned with a smirk as Kenobi stopped in mid-strike.
"How –" Kenobi started as Naruto cut him off.
"How do I know? Well, it isn't hard to feel that faint ripple in the Force on this planet." Naruto answered as Kenobi narrowed his eyes. Was Luke's connection to the Force already that strong? Naruto however chuckled.
"No, the boy isn't that strong yet. Its just that my connection to the Force is far stronger than that of Sidious or my masters." Naruto answered once more as Kenobi released a sigh of relief, but he was still on guard.
"And what do you plan on doing?" Kenobi questioned as Naruto turned to leave.
"Nothing." Naruto answered as he began to head back to the shuttle, leaving Kenobi standing where he was, saber still activated.
"General, he won't do anything." Cody reassured him as Kenobi turned to face his old comrade, deactivating his saber.
"I don't like Sith's and he is a Sith, but I will trust your judgment…like in the good old days." Kenobi responded with a small smile as he too began to head back to his home, Luke would be ready in a few more days. The boy was talking about joining the rebellion.
With Thrawn:
Thrawn was quite impressed with the Clones. He had heard about their exploits during the Clone Wars, but to see them in battle? It was a whole different story. They were efficient, proven with their fast response to the enemy assault. They are excellent pilots, outperforming the other Tie pilots during the battle, even stopping a captured Imperial carrier from ramming into one of the Interdictor, commanded by Konstantine, who foolishly disobeyed orders and broke from the Fleet. It was thanks to a group of Tie's piloted by Clones that destroyed the captured carrier by destroying its thrusters first, followed by destroying the command bridge. Konstantine will pay for his disobedience soon enough.
"Sir, the rebel forces are retreating back to the surface." A Clone officer stated as Thrawn hummed.
"Focus all firepower on the corvettes." Thrawn ordered as the Clones quickly changed targets and began to accurately fire away at the corvettes with brutal efficiency. If Thrawns calculations were right, then a turbo battery operated by a Clone crew was at least 80% more accurate with their aim. He did wonder why the Empire stopped using Clones, after all, they were breed for war.
"Commander Kallus, how nice of you to join us." Thrawn commented as he turned to face the beaten Kallus, traitor to the Empire. Flaking him was an Imperial trooper, a Death Trooper, and Governor Pryce.
"You won't win Thrawn." Kallus spoke as Thrawn raised an eyebrow.
"On the contrary, I have the advantage. Your rebel friends are outnumbered, and are trapped on the planet below." Thrawn stated calmly as he turned his attention back to the planet below.
"Contact the rebels below." Thrawn ordered the Clone officer, who obeyed and began to broadcast a transmission to the grounded rebels and soon, before him, was the hologram of whatever remained of the rebel forces.
With the rebels:
Today was not the best of the days for the rebels. Sure, they had some close calls, but this one? This one seemed like the real deal. The Empire had cut of their path of retreat, destroyed much of their Fleet, and now had them grounded on the Atollon. The Ghost had tired to escape, but the Interdictors prevented their escape. With communications cut, and their path of escape gone, the rebels began to lose hope of any help arriving.
"We have an incoming transmission from one of the Imperial ships." A rebel spoke up, brining the attention of the remaining high officers of the rebels, which included a Twi'lek rebel named Hera Syndulla, a Jedi named Kanan Jarrus, his Padawan Ezra Bridger, and Lasat named Garazeb Orrelios or Zeb for short.
"Put it through." Hera ordered, ordering the transmission to be accepted and it reveled to be a hologram of Grand Admiral Thrawn.
"Ah, Captain Syndulla. We meet once again in this threat of war, no matter how long." Thrawn started as Hera's fists tightened.
"Thrawn…" She whispered, staring at the Chiss Admiral. Thrawn was one man that they didn't want to earn attention off. The man had put down many rebel cells in the past and it now it was their turn.
"I am sure you are all waiting for help, which will not come. There is no escape, and your forces are badly outnumbered. This rebellion…ends today." Thrawn stated, delivering his ultimatum.
"We'll never surrender to you, Thrawn." Hear spoke with all her bravery, to which Thrawn merely chuckled lightly.
"You misunderstand Captain. I am not accepting surrender at this time. I want you to understand failure, utter defeat, and that it is I who delivers it crashing down upon you. Now, let us proceed." Thrawn stated as the transmission was cut, leaving the rebels to ponder on what to do next.
"We have to do something, call for help, or fight back or something!" Ezra shouted as everyone sighed.
"What can we do? Those bucket heads have our communications cut off, and those interdictors won't allow us to escape." Zeb responded as everyone began to think of a way out, there was always a way.
"We have incoming!" One of the rebels yelled as they all looked up to see a rain of green turbo fire hammering away at their base, but the shield generator they had captured was holding up, for now.
"I don't think it can take much more!" Web shouted as he tried to stabilize the generator, but was having a really hard time. Plus, it didn't help that the Sabine wasn't here right now to help. Soon, the orbital bombardment stopped, just as the shield generator was about to give out under the heavy bombardment.
"It stopped…" Kanan said as they all waited for what was to come and sure enough they were right. Imperial transports and AT-AT's were landed and began to rain heavy fire upon the rebel base. As the Imperial forces moved pass the rebel shields. It didn't take long for the rebel forces to be eliminated leaving only the Ghost squadron alive, surrounded by Imperial forces, which had Clone Troopers mixed in. Once surrounded, they were all stunned and quickly taken prisoners, leaving them at the mercy of the Empire and Thrawn in general.
How was it? Good? Bad? Leave a review! With that said, I hope you all enjoyed the capture and keep a look out for more to come! Also, I have read the reviews regarding brining Hinata back through Sith magic or other ways. With that said, I will leave it up to you all. Do you want her back or to stay dead? Majority rules in this one, so voice your vote in the review! With that said, bye!
