Enough Waffle onto the story.
Start
Geonosis was in turmoil. Warships belonging to the newly formed grand army of the republic had surrounded the planet and had forced the separatist forces into a battle they were not prepared for.
So many ships had been lost. And Dooku's plans had been ruined by this disastrous event, however, all was not lost, The separatists had something up their sleeves that would show the Republic.
And so Dooku watched from his solar sailer, waiting for his secret weapon to reveal itself.
-Aboard the Republic warship the Ascension-
The Commander of the Aclamator class warship was not worried. Whilst the new ship had taken a little while to get used to and seeing the same face on multiple members of the crew had been somewhat of a shock, he'd gotten quite used to the command.
It was quite a ways away from the judicial ships he used to command.
"Sir, we're detecting a massive hyperspace signature." The Commander turned quickly to the sensor suite.
"Is it one of ours? Nothing that big should be coming to Geonosis unless it's a supply ship," he responded, his confusion almost palpable.
"It's signature doesn't match any of our current signals sir and it's not responding to our hails." The commander started to sweat, this wasn't meant to happen. The separatists, if it was them, were not meant to have had any ships prepared for combat.
"Prepare us for combat and face us towards the….."
He never got to finish.
The bridge of the Ascension disappeared in a bright flash of light, the rest of the ship following soon after.
The Ascension had formed part of an integral ring which kept the Nemoidian ships close to Geonosis so its destruction brought the eyes of the other Acclamators nearby. As they wheeled around to see the threat they came face-to-face with something they had never seen.
The ship was large, much larger than any of the Acclamators, the front was wide and smooth with four fang-like protrusions jutting from the lower front of the hull. The bow of the warship formed a hook-like shape and was almost organic in its design.
The Republic commanders didn't have much time to gawk at the warship as it closed the distance with the smaller warships. The Hull of the ship began to move as large doors opened and rows of turbolasers and mass driver cannons revealed themselves.
The first Acclamator to get in range felt the wrath of the unknown ship as its turbo-lasers and mass drivers let loose, bright red bolts of plasma and solid shots slammed into its shielding tearing it like tissue paper and rending the hull.
The Acclamator banked, firing off some of its turbolasers as it tried to fight off its enemy, the shots barely phased the warship as it ploughed through the Acclamator tearing it in half and forcing back the other ships.
The other Republic commanders watched in horror as the separatist warships ran, escaping through the massive hole in the blockade. Just as the Acclamators were going to approach again, the ship wheeled around its engines pulsing as the ship began to speed away.
They realized why the ship was finally leaving, most of the separatist supply and transport ships had escaped, and only those that had previously been damaged or were unfit to travel had been left.
The only thing the republic commanders could do was gather the pieces of their shattered fleet and lick their wounds.
- Aboard the unknown warship-
Aboard the bridge of the warship that had so thoroughly thrashed the Republic, a hundred mostly alien crew worked diligently within the sensor trenches. In the centre of the bridge sat a medium-sized platform and on the platform was the command throne which was surrounded by screens displaying numerous complex data. Behind these screens sat the commander of the warship, a young man of medium build with lightly tanned skin. His blonde hair was moderately spiky and stood in contrast with his dark grey and blue armour.
"Fleet-Master, we're getting a transmission from Lord Dooku. What are your orders?" One of the aliens asked, it was tall with grey skin, almost reptilian looking, and covered in light black armour.
"Patch it through," he responded, his command throne turning slightly to face the Holo-projector.
The cloaked form of Count Dooku appeared on the bridge, the projector showing his form larger than any human should be. "Good show Naruto my boy, you allowed our forces enough time to escape, and managed to damage the republic fleet as well." The count finished.
"It wasn't hard Father, the Republic does not know how to use their newly gained ships. It was child's play to run through them." Naruto responded, a shark-like grin cutting across his face.
The count nodded, knowing how weak their forces had become, "Indeed, rendezvous with me on Serenno. There I will show you your sub-Commanders and your fleet."
Naruto nodded, bowing as the Count's holoprojection disappeared.
"Put in the coordinates for Serenno and send us to Hyperspace." The crew burst into another flurry of action as the warship slipped into the otherworld of Hyperspace.
-1 hour later -
The large warship dropped out of hyperspace in front of the grey-green marble that had been his home for so many years. However, it seemed a lot had changed, for facing his direct front sat a massive fleet of new warships.
Almost 450 warships sat between Naruto and his homeworld, mostly Munificent class frigates with multiple larger Destroyers and even a handful of Dreadnoughts. Naruto's eyes widened as he took in the sheer firepower that the fleet contained.
"Sir we're getting hailed on all channels it seems the fleet wants us to stop here." one of the comms officers spoke up.
Naruto nodded, "Send through the codes Lord Dooku sent, they should allow us through."
After a couple of tense moments, the wing of Munificents that blocked their way parted, allowing the warship to dock with the large ring that surrounded the planet.
Dooku awaited Naruto, the older man standing in front of the docking bay and waiting for his apparent son to disembark. He didn't have to wait long however as after a couple of moments Naruto exited the docking tunnel surrounded by his bodyguard formed of Jiralhanae and Sangheili warriors.
The older man shook hands with Naruto, signalling for him to walk alongside.
"Welcome back my son, I take it you saw the fleet that guards Serenno?" Dooku asked slightly humorously, the younger man nodded grinning.
"Yes, they're actually pretty intimidating. I know the Munificents but those other ones I don't know those well, however, they look like the designs of those squid-fuckers." Naruto's bodyguards let out a small, almost unnoticeable chuckle.
Dooku sighed, "Yes the Providence and Recusant class warships, these are the smaller models built more for raiding and pillaging and filled with the newest droids.." those buzzwords caught Naruto's attention.
"These are mine, right? Or at least some of them." Naruto's grin was practically infectious.
Dooku sighed once again. "Yes, child. You will have the task group and take half the ships here and maraud across the galaxy. Every couple of weeks I will give you a target. You haven't failed me yet so I do not expect you to start now."
He paused for a moment.
"You will be working alongside Trench and a new apprentice I have found. General Grievous, a former kaleesh who was so terribly wounded in an assassination attempt. Any questions?" he asked, turning to face his son.
"Only one. where do you want me first?"
Dooku unhooked a holo disc from his belt, lifting it with the force.
"Tell me… what do you know of Christophsis."
- A couple of days later -
The Republic had barely managed to defeat the Separatist blockade which surrounded Christophsis and their warships had formed a defensive formation which allowed them to support the ground troops in the ever-changing battleground.
This was the situation that Commodore Andre Dedrev had found himself in. His flagship the Stalwart Dawn, was one of the command relay ships which helped coordinate the cross-planet battle. There was little he could do however, but support the ground forces whenever they asked.
So there he stood, unbothered on the bridge of his warship with a recaf in hand.
It was then to his immediate shock when an enormous fleet fell from hyperspace to their immediate fronts, they didn't have time to open fire, Separatist forces did it for them.
Vulture droids clashed with Republic fighters.
The wedge-shaped separatist fleet cut a hole in the defence screen of the Republic, the Munificent class ships on the flanks widening the gap and keeping the Republic forces on the back foot. The Starlwart Dawn broke through the screen and approached the centre of the fleet coming face to face with a horrifying sight.
Two Providence class assault carriers and 3 Recusant class light Destroyers surrounded a large unknown warship, the two Providence warships and a single Recusant continued to move toward the surface of the planet while the unknown ship and the last of its guards faced the Stalwart Dawn.
"Commodore Andre, we have an incoming transmission from the enemy flagship." one of his communications officers shouted to him, Andre had an expression similar to that of a constipated goat.
"Patch it through." his voice cracked somewhat.
He turned back to his holo table as a large seated figure appeared, a handsome spiky-haired man that Andre vaguely recognised.
"I am Naruto of House Serenno, Captain of the Shadow of Intent. Surrender your fleet and your ships and you may leave with your lives."
Andre stared in both awe and slight fear, he slowly looked around at his crew who were currently silent but staring at their commander.
Andre stood, his fear evident yet concealed somewhat by his bravery.
"As a Warship of the Grand Navy of the Republic, we refuse your offer and urge you to prepare for combat," the comms were cut by one of his officers as the Stalwart Dawn Began to move forwards, it's turbo-lasers and heavy blasters began to fire sending blue bolts streaking towards the Shadow of intent.
To its credit, the somewhat larger warship's shields shrugged off the initial plasma shots responding with its own Ion rounds from two massive cannons at its bow, red plasma was flung from Naruto's flagship back at the republic star destroyer whose shields just managed to hold back the immense tied of plasma.
The two ships got close, going broadside to broadside like the sailing ships of old. They began to trade blows, shaking both ships and sending crews to their deaths.
Onboard The Shadow of Intent
Naruto sat on his command throne, his eyes flashing over various displays and pop-ups as his ship shuddered and shook. He wasn't worried, the shadow of intents armour was thick enough to withstand a bombardment from a fleet worth of warships.
"Activate the Plasma array and prepare for boarding. We need to cripple the ship so it can't run when we begin. Atriox, prepare your men for boarding, I will be accompanying you." Atriox, the massive Jiralhanae that stood to the left of his command throne grunted in agreement, turning and leaving to commit his orders.
Large panels on the port side of the Shadow of Intent opened, revealing large tailor-made plasma casters.
This caught Andre off-guard, he'd never seen a weapon such as this used in such a way.
"Fire."
Two long purple lances of light struck out from the plasma casters, carving straight through the shields and armour of the Venator and rendering it dead in the water. The Shadow of Intent grew close, large docking tunnels revealing themselves and slamming into the hull of the Venator.
Within the Venator, alarms blared and crewmen dashed around the ship trying to get to defensive positions, the Clone commander that accompanied Andre had prepared defences at the entranceways to the docking tubes.
They thought they were ready for anything that could've come through those doors. How wrong they were.
As the doors hissed open the clones began to fire, blue bolts flew into the docking tunnel and bounced off whatever was within, these soon showed themselves to be towering shaggy yet heavily armoured monsters, they wielded large slabs of metal as shields alongside heavy spiked mauls.
These absolute behemoths pushed forwards deflecting shots and protecting the other members of the boarding party behind them, moving forwards they swung their mauls in every direction, pulverising clone troopers and smashing any cover that they hid behind, behind the armoured Jiralhanae, black armoured Sangheili and humans pushed forward, popping shots at anyone who the vanguard missed.
The boarding parties pushed into the hangar and spread throughout the ship, smashing apart any defences that tried to form against them. Naruto and Atriox headed one of these groups, which was concentrating on forcing their way toward the bridge.
Atriox formed the spear tip whilst Naruto backed him up, the giant brute bigger than usual for even his species wielded a massive powered war mace in one hand, using the other to grab and throw clone troopers. Naruto wielded a modified heavy-blaster rifle. The weapon was long and silver in design; the barrel at its front rotated as it fired. purple plasma bolts punched holes through any clone trooper that found themselves unlucky enough to be within his augmented sight.
His helmet was smooth and the different pieces of metal came together to form a skull shape, this wrapped around his face leaving only two red eyeholes which acquired targets with an almost practised ease.
After barely half an hour of fighting, Naruto and his band of warriors finally reached the last blast door that led to the bridge, around them the broken bodies of clone troopers and officers littered the hall. Naruto clicked his fingers, and two Jiralhanae moved toward the blast doors. Both gripped the seam of the door and began to pull, the gears of the door began to scream at the sheer pressure they were being put under.
Within the bridge of the warship, clones and unarmoured officers alike took positions preparing for their boarders' entry. Commodore Andre was still trying to hail the rest of his fleet but from what he could see his fleet had been forced back and was practically running from the large well oiled separatist fleet.
He began to tap away at the holoprojector and prepared a quick transmission. "This is Commodore Andre Dedev of the Stalwart Dawn we are currently being boarded by a new foe, a man named Naruto Serenno. I do not believe that I will be surviving this battle. Andre Dedrev out."
The man shakily unholstered a blaster pistol, knowing full well this would be his last battle. He looked around at his crew that remained, seeing most had either a blaster in hand or were hiding behind cover.
"Just know that no matter what comes through that door. I was happy to serve alongside you all."
As he finished the blast doors were torn open, revealing a completely dark hallway. The remaining troops within the bridge opened fire, blue bolts doing nothing but lighting up the hall.
The bolts of plasma simply bounced off the armoured brutes which stood at the door, doing nothing but annoy them.
"Go"
With barely a word the two brutes moved forwards in sync, dashing from the darkness and into the light terrifying the crew who hadn't seen such monstrosities till this point, one went left, the other went right crushing crew members with their massive war hammers or simply tearing into them with claw and fang.
Naruto slowly walked forwards, whistling lightly at the carnage of the remaining crew being ripped apart, he'd removed his helmet allowing Andre to view his face. Unknown to any of them the Holoprojector was still recording the events occurring within the room.
Andre stared at the man whose men had butchered his crew, his knees shook and his hands were sweaty. "Why… Why would one man unleash so much hatred? We're fighting for good. The Republic is for the good of the Galaxy." Andre managed to choke out, his eyes caught by the piercing blue orbs that stared back at him.
"I don't care for the political shit. My father raised me and pays me to fight on his side, my loyalty is his and his alone. And for this?" Naruto moved his arms around as if to show off the carnage.
"This is all for the thrill and fun of it."
Atriox intercepted a single blue bolt that almost took off their commander's head, blocking it with a massive fist. As the brutes were about to tear into the commodore, Naruto signalled for them to pause.
"Dooku has ordered him to be taken alive, any secret information he may hold and such." Andre moved to put the gun under his chin but he was quickly knocked out by a solid punch.
Naruto turned around as a brute picked up the limp body of the commodore and strung him over its shoulder, as they began to leave the bridge of the warship a transmission came through to Naruto's personal projector.
Activating it, the familiar face of Dooku appeared, the man was not happy. "General Whorm Loathesom has failed me, pull your forces and your prizes from the Christophsis system. Rendezvous with the fleets at Utapau and then head to Dathomir. Have the prisoner be taken to the Citadel."
Naruto nodded, "Of course Father, any information my shipyards glean from the ship's system we will relay to you. Also, why do I have to go visit Mother Talzin? She gives me the creeps."
Dooku simply shook his head, ending the transmission before his son could give him any further headaches. Naruto pouted as they left the Venator and returned to the Shadow of Intent.
Naruto returned to his command throne, dropping heavily into it. "Attach the gravity hooks to our prize and take us to Drebble." there was a low cry of confirmation as the warship hooked its prize.
The rest of the fleet finally finished forcing the Republic away and regrouped around the Shadow of Intent before then jumping into hyperspace.
- Coruscant -
Jedi High command had gathered within the temple command room, most of them at least in person while a few were holograms having been stationed across the galaxy in positions to fight the oncoming separatist tide.
One of the Masters, Evan Peele, cleared his throat to get the attention of the room. "We received an emergency transmission from a warship above Christophsis. This was relayed to us by General Kenobi and General Skywalker. It is…. Disturbing, to say the least.
He pressed two buttons and the transmission began to play, it showed Commodore Andre and his harrowing ordeal, and many of the Jedi gasped in shock and horror at the sheer brutality the man's enemies showed. Many of the older Jedi masters grimly looked on at the massacre that was occurring.
The holo lasted for 10 minutes, and when it finally ended most of the masters were in deep concern. Master Windu was the first to speak, "It seems the separatists have gained another to their ranks. If anything he seems almost as dangerous as Grievous, other reports match his fleet engagement style."
Obi-wan finally spoke up, his hologram flickering somewhat, "This Naruto drove away our supporting fleet and almost cost us the entire campaign, and those aliens that he has as his troops I've never seen them before. They are an incredibly dangerous threat."
There was a general air of agreement with the statement, Yoda after much thought finally broke his silence. "Alert all fleets we must, yes hmmm. Engage the fleets, they must not, without Jedi."
The rest of the Jedi seemed to agree, knowing that even with their aid things could still go sideways. "Inform the chancellor about our decision, I will. Leave at once, we all must." Yoda finished beginning to leave the council chamber.
The Jedi masters began to dissipate, the holograms disappearing one by one. Little did they know the first of their order would come face-to-face with their doom soon enough.
-Dathomir-
The Shadow of Intent sat above Dathomir at a refuelling station, the entire crew had taken the time to relax whilst the droids had maintained the gravity locks and continued loading the highly volatile fuel.
Naruto was currently locked in his stateroom, he was currently trapped in a deep conversation with Mother Talzin chief shaman of the Nightsister tribe. When Dooku had begun to raise the boy, the witch had taken a deep interest in him despite not having a particularly strong connection to the force, to the point of even giving him several Nightbrothers to add to his troops.
It was safe to say that Mother Talzin was as much a mother to him as she was to the other members of the tribe.
"Are you listening my dear child, remember if you need any help do not be afraid to contact me. Your sisters still miss you dearly and if anything were to happen to you I wouldn't be able to stop them." The slight grin she had as she said that showed that she probably wouldn't be stopping them.
"Yes Mother, I'll be fine. Tell the sisters I love them." the conversation was interrupted by a small consistent beeping that came from his comms device. "Mother Talzin, I'll call you back in a moment. I'm getting an emergency transmission.
The woman nodded as her hologram quickly disappeared. Tapping his comlink he heard a familiar voice. "Naruto, is that you? Are you there?" the female voice asked, by her tone he could tell she was distressed.
"Yes, Sev what is it? what happened?"
"As much as I hate to ask you, I need some reinforcements against a Jedi and you are the closest one to my position." Sev's voice was both annoyed yet also hopeful.
Naruto swiftly stood, he could hear the sounds of battle within her commlink. "We'll be there as fast as possible. Deploy a beacon so we can track it," he said as he began quickly making his way toward the bridge of his warship.
To his annoyance, the commlink cut off before he could get an answer from his friend. Quickly taking his seat, he began to shout orders. "Decouple us from the fuelling station and have us underway immediately, prepare all substations for combat." shouts of confirmation came from the crew as they flung themselves around the ship.
"Helmsmen." This gained the attention of both Helmsmen, a couple of meters to Naruto's front. "Once we've been decoupled, take us immediately to hyperspace. We don't have much time." Both Helmsmen nodded, taking the measures to prepare the warship for its swift departure.
The Warship juddered and the engines and systems came to light as the ship was cut loose, the Helmsmen wasted no time, firing up the warship's engines and sending it to its top sublight speed in a number of seconds. Naruto chucked the Commlink to one of the ships Navigators.
"Track the signal" With those simple words the navigators began their work.
"Atriox, prepare gunships and a landing party. We are going to rescue Sev'rannce."
10 minutes later
The Shadow of Intent leapt from Hyperspace, its engines burning bright as it manoeuvred toward the planet, it rammed a charger corvette that didn't move out of its way quick enough reducing the tiny ship to nought but ash and debris, and it continued ploughing into the atmosphere of the planet, levelling off hangar doors on its lower flask opened allowing four large gunships to launch.
The Shadow of intent began to maneuver as flack punctured the air around it, the armies of the republic below trying their best to bring down their well-known adversary.
Sev'rannce Tann was being pushed back.
Dooku had sent her to capture the plans of the newest republic super weapon and that had been easy enough, but problems had started when she had run into a group of Jedi. Two padawans, a knight, and a master, she had killed the padawans easily enough and had particularly nastily wounded the Knight. However, this had sent the master, who was a Wookie, into an intense rage, almost tapping into the power that they despised.
This master was beginning to feel the touch of the dark side.
With a single punch, the beast had already dislocated and probably broken her arm. however, she continued to dodge and weave, trying her best to avoid the strongest of blows.
Sev'rannce slipped behind a stone pillar, only for a large fist to quickly demolish her former hiding space. The rage-fuelled Wookie continued to push her back giving Sev no freedom to think or manoeuvre.
"This isn't the way of a Jedi Master, shouldn't you have better control?" she teased, getting no answer but a loud roar of complete rage. The wookie Jedi master rushed her again, now catching her off guard, she had no time to move as the beast barreled towards her.
But she didn't have to move.
An armoured figure fell between the charging beast and herself, deflecting the first punch off to one side. The figure then fired off a round of punches each thunderous blow catching the still enraged beast off-guard.
She knew who this was, it wasn't hard to tell. Only one person could ever be so flashy.
"You couldn't go one day without pissing off a Jedi could ya?" Naruto asked his friend, still weaving and firing off punches.
His gauntlets began to flash and cackle as he continued to swing against the Wookie, each punch slowly driving it back. The Wookie swung his fists forcing Naruto to dodge and weave around the beast's grip.
However, he was not alone.
An even larger figure dropped from the sky landing akin to that of a meteor, she couldn't mistake this for anyone even if she tried. Atriox, master of the Iron sworn and second in command aboard the shadow intent.
The beast turned to fight the new opponent, his eyes still red and his mind infected with the dark side of the force. Atriox had none of it, backhanding the Wookie and forcing it onto the defensive.
As his former enemy was now busy Naruto turned to his wounded ally, removing his helmet he stared into her crimson eyes, her arm was at an odd angle but she refused to let him touch it.
"I didn't need your help, I would've been fine." She turned her nose up at him looking away.
Naruto smiled coyly, "Yeah sure, and that arm isn't broken."
Sev'rance simply kissed her teeth, grudgingly allowing him to help her up. Naruto looked back at where Atriox was manhandling the Wookie Jedi.
The Jiralhanae was utterly massacring the Jedi, beating the smaller Wookie to a complete pulp. He had barely been harmed it seemed.
"Thank you Atriox without your help I would've surely been killed," Sev'rance said to the giant.
He simply grinned, his large eyes flashing toward his commander who seemed to be fuming. The small moment was interrupted however as Sev's comlink began to beep quickly. She tapped it lightly with her unbroken arm.
"This is Commander Tann, what is it?"
The well-known and incredibly annoying voice of a tactical droid answered the chiss woman. "Lady Tann, the Clone Legions have breached through our defences, they're pushing back our defences. What are your orders?" the droid finished.
There was only silence.
Sev'rance looked at her compatriots, crimson eyes filled with annoyance and anger. "Let's get out of here, the droids have failed their job." She sneered, Naruto almost giggled at her frustration.
Atriox called a gunship to their position, however before the support could arrive everything went to hell.
30 Clone troopers burst into the area and fell upon the small group, three of the white-clad troopers dropped immediately, large holes burned through their bodies courtesy of Naruto's newly equipped pistols, the remaining clone troopers began to return fire their blue bolts arcing toward and around the trio blasting holes in the ferrocrete around them.
Naruto dived in front of the Chiss woman, his shield spurring to life briefly absorbing the shots from the clones. Naruto grinned at her as Atriox rushed the clone troopers.
"I can protect myself, you moron. Get to cover before your shield gets knocked out." she chastised her red eyes burning into Naruto's own.
"Well yes but no, my shield is recharging as we speak so I don't have to worry much about that." He lectured back to the woman.
She rolled her eyes, "Nerd." the single-word response ripped the air from his sails.
Behind them, Atriox was tearing through the clone squads sending their white armour-clad bodies flying. A clone trooper rushed him aiming to jam the gun underneath his massive chin, it was futile Atriox grabbed the clone troopers rifle, twisting the weapon and crushing the clone trooper's arm.
A sharp scream erupted from the man only to be cut short as the monster flung his still-writhing body toward the rest of the troopers
Naruto grinned as a familiar sound began to appear above them, from the clouds three large black gunships crossed the skies, their reddish-purple engine hues lighting the sky and clashing with the dark blue backdrop, the gunships looked akin to that of the birds of prey which soared the skies of serenno. Large wings also housed auxiliary engines.
The gunships dived toward them, and the wings of the individual aircraft swivelled, swinging backwards to perfect their aerodynamics. As they fell closer their wings flared out providing enough drag to pretty much stop them at their target.
As they landed, the bay doors on their sides swiftly opened allowing a large number of Sangheili and a couple of Jiralhanae to fall out. They took up defensive positions firing upon clones even as they entered the room.
Naruto Led Sev to one of the transports, Jiralhanae bodyguards surrounded them covering them from any stray shots that neared them.
Naruto leaned down to Sev'rance. "I'm glad I got here in time," he whispered, Sev'rances cheeks lit up as his hot breath tickled her ear. She looked up at him cheeks aflush as she was about to speak searching for the words to
There was a loud crack. A single blue bolt of accelerated plasma broke through the defences.
It arced through the air.
It was as if by the will of the force itself, the bolt hit Sev'rance.
She stiffened in Naruto's arms, her breath being punched out of her body by the force of the bolt. His eyes widened as she began to collapse into his arms. She wasn't dead. She couldn't be dead. Atriox was shouting orders to other Jiralhanae and Sangheili, they were slowly being pushed back by the superior number of clones.
Naruto heard none of this as he checked Sevs pulse, his armoured fingers laying lightly on her wrist. Checking for anything, there was a slight bump.
"MEDIC. MEDIC OVER HERE NOW!" Naruto's heart-wrenching call roared across the battlefield, easily visible over the din of battle. His bodyguards opened ranks as a smaller female Sangheili rushed into the small group.
Her armour was lighter in design and white a clear distinction amongst her darker armoured brethren. Another distinction was the small droid which hovered over her shoulder, the droid scanned over Sev'rance as the medic began to patch the blaster wound with a Bacta patch.
"Is she going to be alright Rola?" Naruto's voice was frigid yet Rola could hear the care and fear.
"Well she's stable but she's not out of the woods yet. We need to get her to the Shadow of Intent for her to have any chance of survival." Her prognosis was as hopeful as she could give.
Naruto looked up at the Jiralhanae that surrounded him, most were members of his Personal bodyguards the Melophori, his shadows. They surrounded him and ensured that he would and could not be harmed.
"Captain Varim, Corporal Karrus. To me." At his command two large Sangheili soldiers uncloaked, both wore armour which designated them as his Immortals. Naruto looked up at them, the fury present in his eyes scaring them for but a moment.
"Take Sev'rance and ensure she gets treated. Rola, you will go with them and make sure she stays alive." The two nodded as the Captain gently picked up the Chiss woman quickly entering a nearby gunship with Rola and his second in tow.
Naruto's helmet flashed over his face, hiding his human visage with that of a mechanical one. Atriox stomped over to him and held out his hand showing the object that was clutched in his massive fist. A wooden-handled lightsaber, one with a long hilt, was what the Wookie had used. Naruto took it and activated the bright green blade, the green glow reflected off his helmet as he held the blade in a riposte position.
"Kill them all."
He dashed forward, past his outer guard and into a group of clone troopers who were hidden behind some cover, he fell in between them cutting through the first two with no hesitation. The other three lifted their rifles to fire but did not get a chance, Naruto threw the lightsaber lodging the weapon in the skull of one of the Clones, he turned to the second, slapping the blaster rifle out of his hand, he then went to work. Each punch that connected with The clone shattered the plastoid armour, after three punches the breastplate ceased to exist. Naruto ended the small skirmish with a headbutt, shattering the Clones helmet and reducing his face to a bloodied pulp.
Atriox was back to back with his commander, smashing skulls in with his fist and the massive hammer which he wielded in one hand, around them the Melophori forced the last remaining clones back, massacring those who couldn't retreat and sending the rest on their way.
Atriox turned to Naruto, a single large hand pressed to the communicator which lay on the side of his head. "Sir we need to leave, the Republic fleet is closing in."
Naruto nodded, he sent a signal to his Melophori calling them back to the gunship. Said soldiers began a slow fighting retreat. Naruto was the last to board, the gunships lifting off as swiftly as they had arrived.
Naruto stared out of the viewport. "They better hope that Sev'rance survives, for if not then they have released an evil much greater than they would've realised." His eyes started to glow a sickly yellow as he spoke.
Praise be to Neptune. Hopefully, this new story will be at the forefront of an avalanche of updates.
