Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

A/N: Just want you all to know I had problems with the site as they upgrade/go to different servers. Even now I'm not getting the numbers over at the PM (If you have say 3 new messages there'll be a 3 beside the PM tab.)

So it may be a while for me to reply to your PM as I don't usually check my email a lot. Also for the foreseeable future, I'll be slightly busier (Most days I won't be able to get on until at least 9/10 at night)

But that shouldn't affect the stories/chapters that use 1 episode for the Ch but the times I'll use multiple eps/movies/multiple issues of comics/games storyline (As that doesn't go by multiple episodes) might be short delays in updating that story/Ch.

Also, remember to vote in the next story poll if you haven't! So I won't forget if there's a tie/top choices are very close together by the time I get halfway through s3 of Ultimate Spider-Man I'll do another of the top 21 when uploading the chapter that has episode 13.

Chapter XXXII: ARC Troopers.

Fighting A War Tests a Soldier's Skills, Defending His Home Test A Soldier's Heart.

Separatist attack! After the destruction of the Republic outpost on the Rishi moon, General Grievous and Asajj Ventress plan an attack on the planet Kamino, home of the cloning factories. Meanwhile, aboard Jedi cruisers, Jedi Knights Naruto Uzumaki, Anakin Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi examine an intercepted message from General Grievous….

The Maelstrom.

Naruto Alpha, Fordo, and Thrawn are talking to Obi-Wan and Anakin at the holo table. BD jumped off Naruto's back and landed on the edge to look up before one of Anakin's clones spoke.

"We are decrypting the audio, sir."

Naruto then saw Ventress in a cloak come up before she spoke. "The clone planet of Kamino will be a dangerous target." She was then replaced by General Grievous who had his cloak on.

"Just make sure you hold up your half of the mission. We must stop the production of new clones. if we are to win this war."

"Kamino," Anakin said as Naruto sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Another attack on the base? They must be getting desperate."

"They're going to attack our home planet," Alpha said from his spot to Fordo, Rex, and Cody who appeared in the hologram.

"The Separatists are taking quite the chance even considering this again," Obi-Wan said, stroking his chin.

"This is personal for us clones. We'll make sure Kamino is secure." Rex said as Anakin looked at him.

"Tell your troopers in the 501st they're going home."

"Same for the 931st," Naruto said before each Captain spoke.

"Yes, sir!"

Ventress' Ship.

A hologram of Grievous was sitting as he looked to Ventress. "All is ready, General."

"Good. We will attack Tipoca City first."

"I have the exact locations of both the clone DNA room and the clone trooper barracks."

"Both shall be annihilated under my hand," Grievous said before Ventress glanced down.

"Our hands, General. Count Dooku assigned us both this task." She said as he nodded.

"But of course, assassin. I look forward to meeting you." Grievous said before the hologram turned off.

"Are the aqua droids prepared for phase two of the plan?" She asked a B1 droid by her who looked over.

"Yes, mistress."

She then turned to walk to a window and saw she was underwater.

Kamino.

"Masters Kenobi, Uzumaki, and Skywalker." Shaak Ti said as she walked over with Lama Su. "And Padawan Offee. Welcome to Kamino."

"Greetings, Generals," Lama said to the group before Obi-Wan put his arms behind his back.

"I wish our arrival wasn't under such circumstances. We believe Grievous is planning a Separatist attack on Kamino."

"But the Republic blockade is far too strong. They would not dare." Lama said as Naruto looked up.

"Wouldn't be the first time. But better safe than sorry."

Inside, Fives, Hevy, Cutup, and Echo, who now had a blue handprint on his right chest walked down the halls.

"Look around, guys. Feels like yesterday we were here. Heading to target practice." Echo said seeing kid clones walking past them.

"Remember that?" Fives asked before 99 walked up holding rifles.

"Do I ever," Hevy said before stopping as 99 dropped a couple of the weapons.

"Hey. 99!"

"Hevy! Cutup! Echo! Fives!"

"You actually remember us?" Echo asked as 99 nodded

"I remember all my brothers. Is Droidbait here? Where's he?"

The group looked at each other before Hevy looked down. "There was an incident on the Rishi moon outpost."

"Oh." 99 looked downtrodden at that before leaning to pick up the guns. "I... I see. So why have you returned to Kamino?"

"The Generals received word of an impending attack here," Fives answered before 99 nodded.

"Well, how can I help?"

Atmosphere.

Grievous' fleet appeared out of hyperspace before he stood. "Attack formation Echo-3."

"Status." The tactical droid said before the other droids spoke.

"Deflector shields raised."

"Destroyers in position."

"Forward cannons ready."

Grievous then walked to the front where a pilot droid was hitting buttons before it spoke. "Landing craft prepared. All ships are in position."

Grievous then pointed at the planet before yelling out his orders. "Commence attack!"

The ships then started firing at the blockade. Over on the Resolute, Yularen was looking forward as a clone walked up to him. "The Separatist fleet is pressing their attack, sir."

"Contact command at Tipoca City," Wullf ordered and a few minutes after the clone left, Anakin in his Delta-7 flew up and started to help fight.

"Good to see you, General. Ready to have some fun?

"You know me, Broadside. I'd rather be up here than stuck in a command center." Anakin said over his comms as he and the others fought the ships.

Kamino Command Center.

Naruto, Obi-Wan, Shaak Ti, Barriss, and the clones looked at a hologram of the battle before Alpha spoke. "Shore up our defenses."

"The fleet is not as large as I expected." Shaak Ti said as Naruto looked at the battle.

"It's probably a distraction. They could have another fleet coming in."

"Begin the airstrike." Shaak Ti said as two clones went to another hologram.

"Warning! Falling Debris." A male computer voice spoke as they saw parts of the ships fall into the ocean that made up the planet

"Grievous appears to be sacrificing his transports in favor of protecting his command ship." Shaak Ti said, bringing a hand to her chin.

"I think Naruto's onto something… Something's not right." Obi-Wan said, crossing his arms.

Underneath the water, Ventress' squid-like sub came up near the facility before one droid looked back at her.

"Reinforcements have arrived."

"Send out the aqua droids to assemble the assault craft."

Atmosphere.

"Focus on the cruisers!" Anakin ordered before his comm went off. "I'm going to press the attack, Master."

"No, Anakin. Wait! It's too easy. Not even Grievous would attack so recklessly."

Anakin hit a switch before speaking as he also dodged a blast. "Master, the battle's up here in space, not down there."

"The debris from the destroyed Separatist ships is the key," Obi-Wan said as more debris fell.

"What are you thinking?" Anakin heard Shaak Ti before Obi-Wan replied.

"I think I'd like to go for a swim."

Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan in a Kamino sub went to the surface of the ocean. The sub has a spherical cockpit sandwiched between two air-filtering nacelles, both 7.3 meters in length. A pair of headlights and taillights were mounted into the nacelles.

"Nothing as of yet." He said looking around.

"Only you could be worried about the ships I already shot down."

"Wait a minute!" Obi-Wan exclaimed seeing droids working on the pieces as well as a sub going by.

The droids are standing at 2.83 meters tall, and have bulkier physiques boasting a massive chest with ribbed shoulders, elongated legs, and polygon-shaped heads.

"Aqua droids! It looks as though they're assembling assault craft." He then tried to contact Anakin. "Anakin, I was right! Those downed transports were hiding ships for an underwater assault. Anakin, come in!"

The droids then jumped at him and attacked the sub, broke it, and had Obi-Wan eject the cockpit back to the surface. They attacked the glass before Obi-Wan shot out and sliced at one droid with his saber and continued going up before an Aiwha pod swam by. Catching a tail of one, it flew out of the water, having Obi-Wan come up on its neck.

"Thanks for the lift, friend." Obi-Wan patted the animal before looking to see the sub as well as several more coming out of the ocean and attached to the facility. "Anakin, the city is under attack! I need you down here now!"

"On my Way!"

In the hangar, Colt was ordering clones around before ordering Domino Squad to be snipers, having them leave. Subs then attached to the hanger and had Aqua droids come out walking slowly like the super droids taking out several clones.

"Watch out!"

Grievous then walked out of a sub and looked around. "Kill them all!"

On one of the top floors, droids dropped down as Naruto turned his saber on, lighting the area before lights came on showing Alpha, Fordo, and others from the 931st Legion. "You bots have some shit luck," Naruto said dashing over as he pulled his shoto up, turned the blue blade on, and started slicing as his men started shooting.

On the bridge, Ventress without her cloak dropped down showing her purple dress with a hole revealing her cleavage as well as its backless.

Just inside, 99 was running behind the troops dropping rifles. "99, get out of here!" One clone captain yelled before getting hit. "This is no place for you." He finished before being hit in the head.

99 then picked up a backpack and ran to boxes where clones were shooting from the cover.

On another bridge, Anakin and Obi-Wan are blocking blasts before Obi-Wan glanced back. "There aren't enough droids here to capture the city. They're trying to distract us." He said before looking forward. "Go protect the DNA chamber, I'll deal with Grievous."

"Got it." Anakin

Back with 99, he stopped by Domino Squad who were laying down shooting droids at the hanger. "Fives, keep firing! We can beat these guys!

"99!"

99 then dropped the bag at their feet. "I... I brought you some ammo."

Cutup looked at the clone before speaking. "Is there a better spot than this? A better defensive position we can take?"

"Droids! Behind us!" Hevy yelled as Fives got up.

"The grenades!" 99 yelled pointing to the bag showing grenades rolling out.

Five grabbed one then threw it at the group of droids.

Boom!

"Thanks, 99. Good job!" Echo said as they all stood.

"Lookout, there's more!" 99 yelled hearing footsteps in the smoke before kid clones ran through.

"Cadets! What are you doing here?"

"We got separated from our group."

"Where were they taking you?" Hevy asked the one in front.

"The barracks."

"Oh. I know the best way there!" 99 said before he turned to start walking.

In a hallway, Colt was firing at droids who were walking in front of Grievous before he stopped and grabbed at his throat. Ventress walked in from the next hall holding her hand out before using the Force to push the clone into the wall. She then turned her saber on before pulling her hand back. Just as Naruto dived to grab Colt and then stood holding the now knocked out clone over his shoulder.

BD then looked over the other shoulder and beeped.

"We just keep running into each other, huh?" She asked as he shrugged. "I haven't seen you in a while, are you avoiding me?"

"No… I've been underwater getting ready for the attack."

"That long? Must have been hell with only B1 droids to talk to." Naruto commented as she glanced down before muttering under her breath as she remembered pleasuring herself before being interrupted by a droid. (1.)

"You have no idea."

She was broken out of her thoughts as Naruto spoke up. "Well, glad to know you haven't been avoiding me."

He then winked and blew a kiss before taking off. The droids looked as they heard a whooping sound from Naruto's direction. "Huh, who knew Jedi could be funny." A B1 droid said beside Grievous before the cyborg punched the droid's head off.

"Keep playing with your droids," Ventress said, looking back from where Naruto ran. "I'll handle breaking into the DNA room."

She started walking before Grievous grabbed her arm. "Shall I provide you with a droid escort?"

"My dear General," She said, stroking the chin part of his mask. "There's nothing you have that I could want."

Up a floor, Naruto had a clone take Colt before going to a closet to keep him safe. "How are we doing?" Naruto asked Alpha who glanced back. Finishing them off sir."

Fordo shot another Aqua droid and looked up to see no more were around. Naruto heard fighting below him before pulling his saber up and turning it on.

Domino Squad, Earlier.

The Squad, 99, and the kids got to the barracks with only the emergency lights on. "What are we going to do?" One of the kids asked as 99 walked between Fives and Echo.

"A Separatist victory means death. For all of us." He said before pointing at the kids. "The cadet is right, what are we going to do?"

Hevy then loaded his minigun before looking to 99. "We fight."

"But our training's not finished." a kid said before Cutup looked at them just as Rex and Cody walked in taking off their helmets.

"Look around, we're the same. Same heart, same blood. Your training is in your blood. And my blood's boiling for a fight. This is our home. This is our war."

"What about weapons?" Another asked before 99 smiled.

"The armory. Just a few corridors away, here in the barracks. I can retrieve all the firepower that we need. So, who wants to blast some droids?"

In the command room, Shaak Ti and Barriss were also fighting droids that came down the hall. "You're doing well Padawan."

"Thank you, Master Ti," Barriss replied as she blocked a shot at her head.

Shaak Ti then dashed ahead, slicing several Aqua droids before Force pushed the rest away. "The droids are spread thin. We must press our offensive now." She yelled over her comms.

Meanwhile, Ventress walked into the white DNA room and up to a clear tube that housed cylinders. Going to a console, she typed on it before a hologram of Jango Fett came up before hitting another button, having the cylinders move before one popped out in front of her. Picking it up, she smirked as she attached it to her belt before glancing over her shoulder. "I was beginning to think my presence went unnoticed."

Turning, she saw Anakin at the door who turned his saber on. "You weren't planning on leaving without saying hello, were you?" He asked before dashing at her.

Armory.

"Here it is. Everything we need is here." 99 said walking in showing rifles, and pistols.

"Excellent work, 99. Hurry up, the droids have almost reached the barracks." Cody said as he, Rex, and Cutup took what they could and ran back.

On the other side, Grievous walked as the droids started attacking the clones in each room of the hall. "All too easy." He said right before Obi-Wan slid in from another hall.

"Define easy, General."

"Kenobi!"

They then clashed as Grievous' brought two of his seiners out and clashed in a test of strength before using a third arm to push Obi-Wan down. He then tried to step on the Jedi's head before he rolled out of the way. Grievous then grabbed him and threw Obi-Wan into the ceiling then threw him down the hall.

"Kenobi, Kamino has fallen. Your clone army is doomed."

"I beg to differ, Grievous," Obi-Wan said, bringing his hands up to throw Grievous into the ceiling with a Force push.

Getting up, Obi-Wan then pushed the cyborg down the hall into a wall having him run away on all fours. Obi-Wan followed him outside but saw he wasn't in sight. Grievous then walked up from under the bridge behind the Jedi. Obi-Wan turned and saw Grievous who started spinning his two blades. Obi-Wan circled the droid who was laughing before a sub destroyed the supports holding the platform they're standing on, having them tip over.

Obi-Wan fell off and was caught by an Aiwha. "We've got to stop meeting like this, my friend." He said as Grievous got into an escape pod and left.

Back in the barracks, 99 threw a grenade to Fives who tossed it at a group of B1 droids. Hey continued shooting the droids and moved back as the droids advanced. "Cadets, now!"

The kids came out of the beds above and started firing. 99 then threw Fives the last grenade.

"Last one, Commander! Make it count!" Rex said before 99 stood.

"I'll get more!"

"99, you can't!" Cutup yelled looking back.

"I'm a soldier. Like you. This is what I was bred for." 99 said as he started running down the hall. He was then hit in the leg before Cutup ran to him.

Cutup was then hit several times and fell as 99 limped out of the room. "Cutup! 99! No!" Hevy yelled before firing his minigun just as two droids shot at 99's back.

Naruto then dropped down from a hole in the top and blocked the shots as Alpha, Fordo and the other clones dropped down and fired in a line destroying the droids.

"Everyone OK?" Naruto asked the clones who nodded before hearing a voice from Rex's comms on Anakin fighting Ventress. "Men, fortify the barracks I'll help Skywalker."

"Yes sir!" They replied before Shaak Ti reported on her side.

Naruto ran out before bringing his comms up as BD glanced over his shoulder. "Bones, get to the barracks, we'll use that as a makeshift med room."

"Yes sir!"

Meanwhile, Anakin fought Ventress out into the hall. He tried reaching for the canister before leaning back from a strike of both of Ventress' blades. They continued clashing blades down the hall before clashing in a test of strength that had Ventress fall back to flip Anakin over her. They then ran out onto the hanger where Naruto jumped out of a window and landed in a crouch.

"Mind if I cut in? I'm sure I'm a better dance partner." Naruto said as Ventress smiled.

"I'm sure you are better than him." She said before being Force pushed to the floor as Anakin pulled the canister to him.

Getting up, she screamed before attacking, having Naruto run up to help. Suddenly, clones surrounded the three before Anakin looked at the assassin who smiled. "I suppose you expect me to surrender."

"Actually, I plan to let the clones execute you right now."

"Not this time." She said before looking at Naruto. "Hmm, a shame I wouldn't mind surrendering to you my dear Naruto," She said in a sultry voice before running off and jumped into a flying escape pod having Anakin look at Naruto who shrugged.

"What? It's not my fault all the ladies want a piece of me. Especially the hot and dangerous ones."

In the barracks, the cadets and clones are cheering as Bones was treating the wounded.

Later, Rex, Cody, Alpha, and Fordo walked up to the remaining three Domino Squad members. "You really stepped up in the heat of battle," Alpha said as the others nodded.

"We did what we had to do, sir." Echo said as Fives nodded.

"What any clone would've done."

"All of you showed valor out there, real courage. Reminded me of me, actually." Rex said to the three before Fordo walked up.

"Cutup and Droidbait would be proud. Hevy, Echo, Fives, you're officially being made ARC Troopers."

"I don't think the Separatists will be coming back here anytime soon," Rex said to them, getting their attention. "But if they do, Kamino will be lucky to have clones like you defending it. Good job, men."

They then saluted before walking off. Naruto, who was leaning against the ramp of his ship smiled as BD jumped on the ramp before looking to see Bones and another med clone bringing a stretcher with a tarp over it into his ship.

To Be Continued.

A/N: Thanks for reading and let me know of any mistakes.

1. There is a lime that will go up when getting on ArchiveOfOurOwn Or AO3 for those that did not know what AO3 stood for.

Just want you all to know I had problems with the site as they upgrade/go to different servers. Even now I'm not getting the numbers over at the PM (If you have say 3 new messages there'll be a 3 beside the PM tab.)

So it may be a while for me to reply to your PM as I don't usually check my email a lot. Also for the foreseeable future, I'll be slightly busier (Most days I won't be able to get on until at least 9/10 at night)

But that shouldn't affect the stories/chapters that use 1 episode for the Ch but the times I'll use multiple eps/movies/multiple issues of comics/games storyline (As that doesn't go by multiple episodes) might be short delays in updating that story/Ch.

Also, remember to vote in the next story poll if you haven't! So I won't forget if there's a tie/top choices are very close together by the time I get halfway through s3 of Ultimate Spider-Man I'll do another of the top 21 when uploading the chapter that has episode 13.

Next to be updated will be Avatar Maelstrom.

Nothing else to say.

Talk To You Later,

Lone Wolf Out.
