Battle of the Heroes
I don't own Naruto or Star Wars.
Asura arrived on Mustafar and got off as R2 followed him.
"Stay with the ship, Artoo." ordered Asura as he headed inside and flipped his hood up as R2 beeped worridly.
Asura calmly walked into the main control room and everyone looked at him.
"Welcome, Lord Asura." said the commander, "We've been expecting you."
Asura waved his hand and all the blast doors shut.
Satele and Tasiele fought their way through Republic Soldiers as they headed up the steps of the Jedi Temple on Tython and managed to get by with little effort. After it was done, they headed inside and walked past all the countless corpses of Jedi Masters, Knights, Padawans, and even younglings.
"Not even the younglings survive." said Satele in despair.
"They weren't killed by soldiers." said Tasiele, "They were killed by a lightsaber."
Satele knelt down and felt the cold flesh of the body of a young child. She looked up at her mother and actually looked confused.
"Who could have done this?" asked Satele.
Asura cut down the commander of the base and shut off his Darksaber. He then checked the date and frowned.
"Happy birthday to myself." he thought in anger as he waited.
Satele and her mother entered the security room for the entire temple and Satele went to a consol.
"If you look at the security recordings, I sense you will only find pain." advised Tasiele.
"I must know the truth, mother." said Satele as she went through several recordings before she finally found the one she wanted but was horrified at what she saw.
It was a recording of Naruto killing everyone and Satele fell to her knees in disbelief while Tasiele looked away.
"It can't be." said Satele, "It can't be."
"You have done well, my new apprentice." said Tenebrae, "Now, Lord Asura, go and bring peace to the galaxy."
Satele ended the recording as she couldn't bare to watch anymore and looked away.
"We must kill the Chancellor." said the now child Lazarus as she entered the room.
"What happened to you?" asked Tasiele in slight surprise.
"Naruto did something and I became like this." said Lazarus as she looked at her new body, "I still have all my skills but not as much power as I once did."
"I'll go kill the Chancellor." stated Satele, "I won't kill my son."
"Funny you should say that after not telling him the truth about his birth." said Lazarus, "I will handle the Chancellor. Tasiele will stay here and help any Jedi that come back hold down the fort."
"I didn't tell him because I didn't want him to hate me more." said Satele, "I can't do it."
"He is twisted by the Dark Side." said Tasiele, "You are the only family he has left and are probably the only one who could save him."
"The boy you once loved like a son is gone." said Lazarus as she checked out her green shoto, "He is now Darth Asura."
"But I don't know where the Chancellor has sent him." said Satele, "I don't know where to look."
"Use your feelings, my daughter." advised Tasiele, "Then you will find him."
(An Hour Later)
"When was the last time you saw him?" asked Satele of Elie.
"Yesterday." said Elie as she passed Satele.
"Do you know where he is now?" asked Satele as she followed.
"No." replied Elie.
"Elie, I need your help." begged Satele, "He is in grave danger from himself. Elie, Naruto has turned to the Dark Side."
Elie spun around and slapped Satele across the face.
"You're wrong." denied Elie, "How could you even say that?"
Satele lowered her head and passed Elie to lean against a column.
"I have seen a security hologram." confessed Satele as she handed Elie something, "He was... He was killing younglings."
Elie looked at what Satele had handed her then back up in disbelief.
"Not Naruto." said Elie defiantly, "He would never do that."
"He was deceived by a lie." said Satele as she turned to Elie, "We all were. It seems that the Chancellor is actually the Sith Emperor. And I would never lie if I were showing you that."
Elie handed Satele back what she had given her and cried into Satele's chest while Ranmaru was confused.
(Several Hours Later)
Asura was alerted to an incoming ship by the computers and went outside to meet it.
Elie landed the ship and was on the verge of tears. She looked out the window and saw Asura jogging toward the ship.
Asura walked onto the landing pad and Elie ran into his arms while Ranmaru ran into the Rogue Shadow.
"What are you doing here?" asked Asura.
"I was so worried about you." said the distressed Elie, "Satele said all these horrible things."
"What things?" asked Asura.
"She said you had turned to the Dark Side." explained Elie as Asura looked away slightly, "She said that you killed younglings."
"Satele is trying to turn you against me." stated Asura.
"She cares about us." said Elie.
"Us?" asked Asura.
"She knows." confessed Elie, "She wants to help you."
Asura remained silent and forced a small smile.
"Naruto, all I want is to be by your side." said Elie.
"Being by my side won't save you, Elie." said Asura, "Only my new powers can do that."
"At what cost?" asked Elie, "Mistress raised you as a good person. Don't do this."
"I won't lose you the way I lost Kin, sister, Alar, or buir." stated Asura, "I am becoming more powerful than any Jedi or Sith has ever dreamed of and I'm doing it for you."
"Come away with me." begged Elie, "We can go back to Ibonihs and remain there together. Leave everything else behind while we still can."
"Don't you see?" asked Asura, "We don't have to run away and hide anymore like we used to. I have brought peace to the Republic. I am more powerful than the Chancellor. I can overthrow him."
Elie slowly backed away and shook her head.
"I don't believe it." said Elie as she started to cry, "Satele was right. You've changed."
"I don't want to hear any more about that woman." said the ticked off Asura, "The Jedi turned against me. Don't you turn against me too."
"I don't know you anymore." sobbed Elie, "Naruto, you're breaking my heart. You're going down a path I can't follow."
"Because of Satele." said Asura as he looked over Elie's head and saw the woman in question coming off of the ship.
"Because of what you've done!" cried Elie, "Because of what you plan to do! Stop! Come back! I love you!"
"Liar!" shouted Asura in a rage as the landing platform cracked.
Elie finally turned around and saw Satele descending from the ship.
"No!" cried Elie as she backed away from Asura.
"You're with her!" shouted Asura as he advanced on the young cathar.
He held his hand out and started to choke Elie.
"Let her go, Naruto!" ordered Satele and getting no response, "Let her go."
Asura removed his hand and Elie fell to the ground, unconscious.
"You turned her against me!" shouted the enraged Asura.
"You have done that yourself!" declared Satele as Asura walked away from Elie and lost his cloak.
"You will not take her from me!" shouted Asura as he got even angrier.
"Your anger and lust for power have already done that." said Satele as she and Asura circled each other, "You have allowed this dark power inside of you to twist your mind. Now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy."
"Don't lecture me, Satele." said Asura as Satele knelt down to check on the unconscious Elie, "I've seen through the lies of the Jedi and Sith. I don't fear the Dark Side or the Light Side as either of them. I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire."
"Naruto, my duty is to the Republic, to democracy!" shouted Satele to Asura's back as she stood up.
"If I must end this war as Darth Asura, then so be it." said Asura with hate laced in his voice, "If you're not with me, you're my enemy."
"Only a Sith deals in absolutes." said Satele solemnly as she drew the lightsaber he had given her, "I'll do what I must."
"You will try." said Asura before he did a back flip and activated his Darksaber.

They instantly started fighting with Asura using a mixture of Djem So and Vaapad while Satele used very deep Soresu. Asura pushed Satele back toward the edge of the landing platform before Satele adjusted her position and got in front of the bridge that led inside. Asura kicked her and Satele flipped back onto the bridge and landed on her feet.
Lazarus entered the Chancellor's office and waved her hand, sending the guards on either side of the door into the wall and knocking them out. Tenebrae turned to her and Lazarus glared at him.
"I hear you have a new apprentice, Lord Viciate." said Lazarus.
"Darth Lazarus, you survived." said Tenebrae.
"Surprised?" asked Lazarus.
"Your arrogance blinds you, child." said Tenebrae, "Now, you will experience the full power of the Dark Side."
He sent out a burst of Force Lightning that struck Lazarus and sent her flying into the wall.
Asura had the full offensive as he pushed Lazarus across a bridge and they entered a small room just outside of the control room. Satele parried Asura and they ended up back to back while she managed to grab a hold of his left wrist with her left hand. She forced Asura into on odd angle but he managed to block her attack. They then dueled down the hall to the control room with sparks flying everywhere. They went to Satele's right and along all the consoles. They then went into a blade lock and Asura forced their weapons into the consoles.
Tenebrae walked up to the downed Lazarus and laughed.
"I have waited so long for this." said Tenebrae as he slowly approached.
Lazarus opened up one eye and pushed herself up.
"At last the Jedi are no more." said Tenebrae.
"Not if I have anything to say about it." said Lazarus as she sent out a powerful Force Push that sent Tenebrae flying over his desk.
"Your rule is at an end." stated Lazarus as Tenebrae got up, "And it wasn't short enough."
Tenebrae and Lazarus both jumped toward the door with Lazarus blocking the way.
"If you are so powerful, why run?" she asked as she drew her shoto and activated it.
"You will not stop me." stated Tenebrae, "Darth Asura will become more powerful than either of us."
His lightsaber fell into his right hand and activated in an instant.
"You may have misplaced your faith in your new apprentice." said Lazarus as she got into a stance, "As is your trust in the Dark Side."
Tenebrae raised his lightsaber and Lazarus began jumping while using the only style she took to its zeneith, Ataru.
Satele gagged as Asura grabbed her and choked her with his free hand while forcing her lightsaber down to her face as they stood on a table in a conference room that was off to the side. Satele kicked Asura over her and he rolled on the table as she stood up before Asura kicked her off her feet and her lightsaber flew out of her hand. Satele got up and Asura charged her. Satele tripped Asura and he flipped and spun onto his back. They both drew their weapons into their hands and Asura blocked the green blade of Satele's lightsaber with the black one of his Darksaber.
Lazarus and Tenebrae's duel continued onto the Chancellor's podium that raised up into the Senate chambers. Unfortunately, the entire Senate was there and they screamed and ran from the room as Lazarus and Tenebrae continued to fight.
Asura and Satele furiously dueled in the middle of the control room and went suddenly into a stalemate with a blade lock. They then entered simultainously into a Force lock as they both tried to Force Push the other. The end result was both of them sent flying onto different consoles but Asura recovered first. He bounded across the room and Satele rolled off the consol and forced Asura's weapon into it with hers. However, this destroyed the power controls for the facility's shields. An alarm blared as they took their duel outside into the heat of Mustafar and Asura kicked Satele hard in the face.
Lazarus and Tenebrae's battle took to the many repulsor lifts and Lazarus jumped from lift to lift as Tenebrae threw them at her. All the while, she got closer and closer to the Emperor. Lazarus managed to stop one and spun it before sending it flying back at Tenebrae, who dodged by jumping down to another lift below. Lazarus jumped onto the same lift and activated her lightsaber. Tenebrae blew it out of her hand with a continuous burst of Force Lightning, forcing Lazarus to use Tutaminus to absorb the attack. Lazarus began to pour her own power into the attack and the result was both of them being blown off their feet with Lazarus falling several stories but barely managing to survive. She got to her feet but couldn't feel Tenebrae anywhere.
Satele jumped back on a steam pipe and Asura followed as Satele retreated along it. Plumes of lave shot up into the air all around them while steam started coming out from the cracks in the pipe. After a few moments of gaining the balance, they expertly dueled along the pipe when Satele jumped down onto a collection arm. Asura jumped in front of Satele and hit her with a heavy backhand. They each grabbed the others saber hand with their offhand and wrestled for control while spurts of lava flew up around the arm.
The Sith Emperor opened his eyes and frowned.
"Ready my shuttle." he ordered.
"Yes, sir." said Lord Scourge.
"I sense Darth Asura is in grave danger." said the Emperor.
As the duel continued, a massive spurt of lava erupted onto the unshielded collection arm, and began to melt the metal. Retreating to the relative safety of the structure at the end of the arm, the two watched as the heat and weight of the lava melted the arm's superstructure. When it became clear that the arm was going to break off of the complex, the combatants fled up along its length as the arm plummeted into the river of lava below. As the collection arm was dragged along the river, Asura kept up his onslaught, driving Satele further up the arm.
"What happened here?" asked Colonel Malcom as he and a squad of troopers entered the Grand Convocation Chamber.
"The Chancellor was really the Voice of the Emperor." said Lazarus as the troopers turned to her, "If you want to confirm this, contact Tasiele Shan on Tython."
"And you are?" asked Colonel Malcom.
Lazarus looked off to the side stared blankly into space for a moment.
"I need a lift to some coodinates." said Lazarus, "Master Satele is in danger."
Satele noticed a lava fall in the distance and jumped off the arm as she grabbed one of the many lose cables. Asura followed and what followed were brief bout of swinging attacks. Satele swung back up the river of lava and onto one of the large repulsor lift platforms while Asura swung back up onto the arm as it started to go over. He charged the length and jumped off as it was going over and landed on a panning droid. He directed it over toward Satele and they both had another bout of blade work before Satele broke it off.
"I never should have trusted you!" shouted Asura, "Because of you, everyone I care about is either dead or has turned against me!"
Satele remained silent as her heart started to ache.
"You abandoned Tayuya and then you allow your unstable Padawan to kill her!" yelled Asura as he started to cry while still showing anger on his face, "You let buir be killed and your damn mother got Alar killed as well!"
They circled each other on the machines as tears continued to stream down Asura's face.
"This is the end for you, my mother." said Asura.
He jumped over Satele's head and landed on the other side of the repulsor lift. He was thrown off balance for an instant as Satele swung at him but quickly steadied himself and counted with an extremely fast rendition of Vaapad/Djem So mix. They entered into a hard blade lock before Satele realized where they were positioned and flipped backwards as Naruto swung, landing on the shore.

"It's over, Naruto!" called out Satele, "I have the high ground!"
"Don't underestimate me, you miserable old crone!" shouted Asura.
"Don't try it." warned Satele.
But Asura didn't listen. He tried to jump over Satele but she executed mou kei, severing all of Asura's limbs except for his his head and right arm. The Darksaber deactivated and fell to the ground as Asura rolled down the hill while he returned to his true age until he was just about a foot from the lava. He wailed and moaned in pain as Satele turned off her lightsaber and put it away.
"You were the Chosen One!" shouted Satele in distress as Asura tried to get up the hill with only his arm, "The legend said you would destroy the Sith, not join them!"
Asura grunted as Satele walked a little further up the hill and picked up the Darksaber. When she reached the peak, she turned back to look at Asura one last time.
"I hate you!" shouted Asura in rage.
"You and Tayuya were only half siblings." explained Satele as she was on the verge of tears, "I'm your mother."
Asura's eyes went wide as he processed those words and was about to call out to her when what was left of his legs caught on fire. He screamed in pain as the fire quickly spread to his entire body and he reached out to Satele for help. But she just turned away and walked off, a small photograph of her from years ago holding a baby in her arms with Naruto's father standing next to her falling from her hand and into the lava. It burnt away in an instant as Asura continued to scream in pain.
Satele silently walked back to the landing platform and picked up Elie before getting on the Rogue Shadow and setting her down on one of the beds in the crew quarters. She quickly checked her over before Elie weakly opened her eyes.
"Is... Naruto alright?" asked Elie before she passed out again.
She left R2 and Ranmaru with her then headed to the cockpit. She took off and finally broke down into tears.
