"It's been a while, so I guess I can crank out another chapter."
Raymus: What took you so long?
"Well, to accurately get out the next chapter I had to do a little research on some fighting from other Star Wars sources as well as the intro episode from Naruto Shippuden!"
Sakura: "The 'Homecoming'?"
"That's right! And now, on with the show!"
Episode IV: A successful raid! Naruto returns!
It was just as the Rebels had feared; the Empire had just about every type of defense guarding the X-Wings- Stormtroopers, AT-ST walkers, Anti-Infantry turrets, turbolaser towers, as well as Anti-Air turrets! Though ironically, the AA turrets were inoperable at the moment so the Rebels now had a small window of opportunity to destroy the power generator. However... "Men, change of plans!" Raymus said through the comlink after all of the Rebellion forces landed. "Captain Antilles, what do you mean?" The field commander of the Alliance Elite Guard said in confusion. "I took another look at the area, and apparently there is only 1 turbolaser tower and two AI turrets guarding the X-Wings!" "What?" The field commander said in surprise as he looked and SURE ENOUGH, there was a hole in the Imperials defense; a small crossing near the river where a lone tower stood with the two turrets guarding the X-Wings. "So, what should we do?" "Simple. I want the PLEX solders to attack the turbolaser tower along with the T2-B tanks. Infiltrators, you still must attack the turrets." "As for you commander..." Raymus went on, "Like I said, you must escort the pilots to the X-Wings. And to help you stay alive longer, here is a bacta capsule. All you have to do is make sure at least one of our pilots climbs in a fighter." The field commander took the capsule and said. "Okay, we'll do our job."
Meanwhile, in the Leaf Village...
"Did you find it?" "All clear over here." "TARGET ACQUIRED!" a voice suddenly rang out in the nearby forest as a group of shadows were chasing another shadowy figure. "Oh no, it's heading for the village!" "No way it's getting away!" The figures then start going through the village looking all over until they crash into Teuchi! "Naruto, you little..." Teuchi starts to say until he sees who knocked him over. "Oh right, I mean... KONOHAMARU!" Teuchi yells after him as Konohamaru runs off. Several minutes later, Konohamaru along with Moegi and Udon find what they are chasing: Tora! Minutes later, Ebisu is seen lecturing the young Genin on their long time for the mission. "Well how do you expect me to push my limits on a lame mission like this one?" Konohamaru protests. "Hey Iruka sensei, don't you have anything flashier for me?" he tries to ask. "Um look, it's not that simple." Iruka starts to explain. "Listen carefully. You three screwups only just made Genin level. No one's going to assign you to higher end missions right out of the gate!" Ebisu clearly states. "All you'll be getting is D rank for now." Tsunade adds. "I'm not taking no for an answer! After all, you're looking at the seventh Hokage!" Konohamaru proudly says. "The seventh? What about the sixth Hokage?" Tsunade asks. "That spot's taken; Naruto's going to get it!" As he spoke that last sentence, everyone in the mansion couldn't help smile.
Back on Fresia...
"What the? How are we losing forces like this?" one of the Elite Guard shouted out as the Rebels suddenly came attack under a new machine by the Empire; the dreaded TIE Mauler. Apparently the Empire had their base WELL covered so it took them by surprise. "Remember: we can't lose all our pilots, one must survive!" one of the troopers said while exchanging blaster fire with some Stormtroopers. But fortunately, the AA guns weren't online yet. Apparently, the Empire had a bit of a problem getting the guns to be operational so they had to temporarily shut down the turrets. The Rebels noticed this too, so they gave out the all too familiar request: "Gold squadron, take down those turrets will you?" "Roger that, Gold Squadron commencing attack!"
Back in the Leaf Village...
It was moments after Naruto arrived in the village. He had just gotten back from his training with Jiraiya and after a hilarious (and painful) reunion with Sakura, they went to see Tsunade. "Well now, glad to see you again. Your training proved to be effective; I hope." Jiraiya smirked and then said, "Well you didn't think that we would come back empty handed, did you?" "Mission accomplished, grandma!" Naruto said with a smile. "Anyway, could both of you excuse Sakura and me for a minute?" "Um, sure!" he said while shrugging.
Back on Fresia AGAIN...
"All right! The Empire's defenses have been shot! Now we can take the X-wings!" one of the Rebel pilots said after finally reaching them. "Not quite, sensors show that the Empire finally fixed their AA turrets so you can't take off until they are destroyed." "Oh, no problem; we can take care of them Captain Antilles!" said the PLEX soldiers. So, they went to destroy the turrets being built while the remaining forces took take of defending the pilots and the X-wings from Imperial fire.
In the Hokage's mansion, in a secret room...
"Lady Tsunade, why have you brought me here?" Sakura said while Tsunade checked to make sure there were no unexpected visitors. "Because, I noticed that during your match you inexplicably used the Force." "The Force? What is the Force, some new type of jutsu?" Sakura asked in wonder. "No. It's an energy field created by living beings. You see, it is all around us and it flows through us all. However, only a destined Jedi is able to wield the Force as their power." "Huh? What is a Jedi?" "More answered, a Jedi Knight. You see, before I even became Hokage I have heard stories of a powerful race of humans who wielded the Force as their ally. And they were the sole guardians of peace and justice in the Republic; the main government seat on a planet called Coruscant. However, about several years ago something terrible happened. A powerful sith warrior (the opposite of a Jedi, a dark Force user) named Darth Sidious corrupted one of the Jedi Knights named Anakin Skywalker. After Anakin fell from grace as a Jedi into a newly formed identity as "Darth Vader", he led a brutal attack against the Jedi who remained on Coruscant. After that happened, Sidious reformed the Republic into the evil Galactic Empire; a faction that instills fear throughout the many peaceful worlds once allied with the Republic." "That's terrible!" Sakura said in disbelief. "However, not all hope is lost because shortly after the Empire was formed a group of young governors who strongly opposed the Empire created a resistance known as the Rebel Alliance with the help of a fallen Force user known as Galen Marek." "I see, so the Rebels are fighting the Empire to free their grasp on the worlds." Sakura said thoughtfully. "Well, isn't there anything we can do-" she was suddenly cut short as Tsunade threw a kunai at the ceiling revealing Naruto. "OW!" he said after falling down. "You shouldn't have been listening in you little sneak!" Tsunade said sternly.
Meanwhile...
"Well now, we can finally retire those old Z-95's!" Raymus said after the Rebels were able to destroy the remaining forces on Fresia. "Sir, pardon me for asking but what should we do next?" one of the Rebel commanders said over the comlink as Sundered Arrow was going through hyperspace back to their hidden base. "Well now that we have some good fighters, the next thing we do is contact Mon Mothma for our next move; she will guide us to victory!" "Sir, yes sir!" all of the Rebels said over the comlinks.
"We need to disable those transports!"
"Where are we? And what happened to us?"
