"A new chapter, think this one will be any good Sakura?"

Sakura: "It should, I'M in it!"

"Ok, don't get all worked up..."

Leon: "Well this should be interesting..."

Naruto: "Let's start the fic already, believe it!"

Episode I: Raymus's brave attack! Sakura becomes a Chunin!

Raymus and Sundered Arrow was closing in on the Tibanna canisters, but were careful to set their engine power lower than usual because they were trying to go unnoticed by the Imperial defenses over Kuat, which was funny because their intention was trying to attract attention by the Empire. One of the Rebel commanders noticed this too. "Excuse me, Captain Antilles?" "Yes, what is it commander?" "Why are we using low engine power, when we are trying to attract attention?" Raymus laughed softly at this and said, "Well, while that IS true... we can't let them know were here just yet, otherwise we can't begin our attack." "Ah, I see. But how are we going to get past those Imperial scanners? They are super sharp, and very accurate!" "Well, I modified the Sundered Heart for just such an occasion. I've equipped it with an energy flux cannon that weakens the electrical systems of any nearby target." "Ah, and that will let us sneak by their systems!" "Exactly commander, so let's begin the attack." Raymus said with a triumphant grin.

Elsewhere, in an all-too-familiar village in the land of fire a young girl is gearing up for the Chunin Exams. "Wow, it's been a long while since I took these Exams. And the last time my team took them, we came upon a LOT of trouble." And she remembered that whole horrible scene.

"It's only natural. The prey must not let its guard down, not even for a moment..." Orochimaru said taunting Naruto and Sasuke.

"What is this I'm feeling? I can't even move!" Sasuke said, frozen in fear. "You're not Sasuke!" Naruto said in pure anger. "The Sasuke I knew was NEVER a coward!"

"I, I must protect everyone..." Sakura said while facing Zaku, Dosu, and Kin.

"But I've grown stronger since then, plus I've learned a whole slew of techniques from Lady Hokage too." Sakura said while putting on her gear. A little later, Sakura headed to the Chunin Exams stadium for her match, against another shinobi. As she made her way to the stadium, another kunoichi named Ino Yamanaka is seen at Ichiraku Ramen getting some lunch for her parents. "Hey Ino!" Sakura said while running up to her. "Hm? Oh, hi Sakura!" Ino said while turning around. "So Ino, are you going to do the Chunin Exams too?" "Yeah, but my test isn't for another hour so I'm getting mom some lunch from here." "Ok, well see you later Ino!" Sakura walked away and couldn't help but smile as she thought, "Huh, seems like she's grown up too." After walking for a little while, she reached the stadium. "Well, this is it; this is my day!" she thought in awe.

Meanwhile, back in the Star Wars universe...

"What are the Rebels doing here? I want them captured NOW!!" a shocked Imperial officer said while Raymus and Sundered Arrow attacked the shipyards. "Excuse, me... sir?" said a lone Stormtrooper after entering the bridge of the Star Destroyer Allecto. "What is it, JM-247? I'm very busy!" said the clearly irritated Imperial officer. "Yes, but we are receiving a call from another of our destroyers near Wayland." "Very well, put it through." "This is the Eclipse. We have just received word that a small group of Rebels have appeared at your location and is currently destroying the shipyard. But know this, you have sent out a code-zero priority message. Be aware that you are altering plans set by lord Vader and you WILL answer to him should this code have been invoked lightly." The commander simply replied, "I am absolutely sure that this is no false matter because after all; we know that one of the Blockade Runners attacking is none other than the Sundered Heart, a ship used by a Rebel Alliance member; Raymus Antilles." The admiral of the other destroyer said this in response, "Very well, we will send our forces stationed over Wayland to help you out with this matter." And as he spoke, the Star Destroyer Burke went into light speed and appeared at the battlefield.

"Captain Antilles, it appears that one of the ship docks has been destroyed! And the other 2 have taken heavy damage!" one of the Rebel pilots informed Raymus about their impending success. "Ok, which means that the fleet we're waiting for should be here in 3... 2... 1..." And after he finished counting, Burke had gotten close enough for its tractor beam to capture Raymus's ships. "Well men, prepare to make the jump to light-speed! Set your course for Wayland!" Raymus said narrowly avoiding the destroyer's ion cannons and turbolasers. "Setting course in the navicomputer, sir." The Rebel pilots all said. "Jump to light-speed... NOW!" And with that, all 5 corvettes disappeared into hyperspace.

Meanwhile, back at the Chunin Exams...

"Ok now, the first match of the Chunin Exams will be..." Genma said while the screen randomly paired up the ninjas that had entered the exams that year. "Whoever it is; I will not lose to, CHA!" Sakura thought in anticipation while her "inner sakura" punched the air around her in equally tense anticipation. "And here's the first match!" Genma said when the screen stopped.

"Sakura Haruno

vs.

Shikamaru Nara"

Shikamaru groaned when he saw his opponent. "Man, I have to fight HER? Sigh, what a drag..." Sakura was just as surprised. "What? I have to fight Shikamaru? But isn't he already a Chunin?"

"Ok now. The first match, Sakura Haruno versus Shikamaru Nara... begin!" Genma said while both ninjas readied themselves for battle.

"Shikamaru, don't underestimate me or you'll get burned!" "Oh man, what a drag!"

"We need more time to hack in the central computer!"
