Naruto Nightmare of the Empire
Chapter 7: Forging Talon and Beginning the Hunt
Last time
"The master of the lightsaber returns," Sandor smirked, Naruto rolling his eyes in response as he and Vette met him back in the trees by the Wall.
"It must have taken great willpower to leave the Revanite cultists alive long enough to investigate them. So did you see the leader?"
"It was man. I couldn't learn his name, but he wore this amulet." Naruto said as he handed the amulet to Charnus.
"Oh, perhaps that will be enough. A symbol of rank or—" Sandor paused as his eye's widened in shock.
"This—I know this amulet. How did you come by it!?" Sandor demanded.
"I risked my life to steal that from the Revanite's leader. I hope it was worth it." Naruto said.
"This is the amulet of my master, Darth Charnus. Taken from the order of Revan." Sandor said lowly, betrayal in his voice before Sandor steeled himself, rage and hate burning in his eyes. "Speak to no one of this. I will deal with my master myself."
"Your masters heresies can't be allowed to continue," Naruto said, playing it up.
"Agreed, but I must wait for an opportune moment." Sandor said before he handed Naruto a credit chip. "Taken your reward from my personal savings. It's all I can offer without alerting my master."
"You probably won't see me again." Naruto told him.
"Agreed, it would only make things more complicated." Sandor agreed as Naruto and Vette took a speeder back to Kaas city.
Once they were halfway there, they laughed.
"I can't believe he fell for that." Vette said as she laughed.
"It's like you said. He's nuts." Naruto chuckled as they enjoyed the trip back to Kaas city. Though he could never go back to the Revanite's, he would uphold their teachings. He would follow the path of balance, and master both the Light and Darkness. He understood now that there was power in both sides and by accepting both sides, he could gain the power he needed to save Vaylin.
But thoughts of gaining power would have to wait. For now, he had another twi'lek to bring over to his side.
Chapter Start
Naruto and Vette walked into his apartment. It was raining outside, as it usually does on Dromund Kaas, and so they trekked some water into the welcome mat. Naruto's cleaning droids would take care of it.
"There should be some food in the fridge." Naruto said to Vette. "There is also plenty of entertainment systems in the recreational room. There will be plenty of things to keep yourself entertained."
"And what will you be doing while I…entertain myself?" Vette asked.
"I have a prisoner to interrogate." Naruto said as he rubbed her lekku affectionately for a moment, causing Vette to moan involuntarily, before covering her mouth in surprise. The lekku of a Twi'lek were very sensitive, and his affectionate rubbing had sexually aroused the Rutian Twi'lek.
"Um…Yeah, I'll entertain myself, I guess." Vette mumbled as she looked at Naruto, who gave her a smile and walked off to unfreeze Yadira Ban.
"Damn it," Vette thought as she was now plagued with erotic thoughts of Naruto and her having sex.
Interrogation room
1 hour later
Yadira Ban awoke with a gasp as she looked wildly around her surroundings. It was dark and the only light was coming from the stasis field that contained her. She tried to move or exert her power over the Force but found it ineffective.
"Hello?" She called out hesistantly. She felt a presence nearby but couldn't see anyone.
"Hello, Yadira." Naruto called out from his hiding place in the dark corner.
"W-Where am I? W-What do you want!?" She squeaked in fear and anger. The last thing she remembered was screaming at the top of her lungs for him to die, and him hitting her so hard that he knocked her out.
"What do I want from you? Nothing." Naruto said as he pushed himself off the wall and came into her view. "What do I want to give you? Everything."
"Don't toy with me, you fucking Sith!" Yadira spit as her new yellow eyes burned with hate, "I am a Jedi! I will never join you!"
"Never is a very long time, my little Twi'lek." Naruto said as he smiled and paced to one side of the room.
"But since we apparently have forever, then by all means, tell me about yourself." Naruto said with a shrug, while the air was thick with his Force Persuasion. Normally, this would not work on a Sith or Jedi, but her mind was in such turmoil and the use of Force Persuasion was subtle enough that she didn't notice it and, even if she did notice, could not resist it.
"I am Yadira Ban, Knight of the Jedi Order. I'm 17 years old and I come from Ryloth." She answered, not realizing that she had been persuaded to answer him.
"And what about your parents? Your mother? Your Father?" Naruto asked with some concern in his voice.
"I never knew them. I picked up by a Jedi as a baby like many younglings and was eventually made Grandmaster Satele Shan's padawan." She answered.
"That is truly terrible to hear, Yadira." Naruto said sadly. He was trying to turn her to his side but at the same time, felt pity for her, and broadcasted this pity through the Force. "It pains me to see that the Jedi have corrupted you so much."
"What are you talking about, you damn Sith!?" Yadira angrily demanded as she shook her head, briefly wondering why she had told him about her origins. She could also sense his pity for her, and it was confusing as hell, to say the least.
"I have a name. It's Naruto. And my pity for you is because the Jedi stole your childhood from you. They stole you from your parents. You were denied the birthright that all children are privy to. The warmth of a mother's tender love as she comforts you when your hurt or feeling down. The feeling of satisfaction that a father's pride brings when you succeed. The joy you feel when spending time with your friends. Your parents denied the right to play with you in the fields, to teach you the ways of the world, to watch you grow into the beauty you became. Your father denied that the chance to chase off the boys that would vie for your affections. It's terrible." Naruto said.
"What would you know?" Yadira demanded.
"I actually had parents that loved me. My mother would read me stories and tuck me in at night. My father was always proud of me whenever I succeeded, he taught me things, like how to throw my first punch and how to read. My mother taught me how to interact with people, and she introduced me to my first real friend. My parents taught me how to construct a lightsaber and how to use the Force, and I, in turn, shared this knowledge with my friend. You see, these are experiences that the Jedi, because they took you from your parents at such a young age, stole from you. It's why I pity you." Naruto said.
"I am a Jedi. I will not here Sith lies!" Yadira shouted but Naruto could tell her heart wasn't in it.
"Okay, I know when I'm overstepping my bounds, I'll leave." Naruto shrugged with his hands held up in the universal surrender sign. When he made his way to the door, he stopped and turned back to her. "Just remember, the Jedi steal all babies from their parents, no matter who they are. If they can't convince their parents to hand the child over, they will simply use the Jedi Mind Trick to mind control the parent into giving them up. And if that doesn't work, they would simply kill the child, if for no other reason than to make sure the child never stands against the Jedi as a Sith. A Sith chooses the Sith Way of their own accord because they believe it is were their destiny lies. Jedi don't give their prospects a choice at all. Remember that." With his piece said, Naruto left, leaving Yadira to her thoughts.
'Is it true? Would the Jedi have killed me if they couldn't get my parents to hand me over?' one half of Yadira thought.
'Don't listen to him. The Jedi are an organization devoted to peace and stability in the galaxy. He is a Sith. He is EVIL!' the 2nd half of Yadira argued back.
'But he spoke with such passion and love for his parents. I could feel it through the Force. And he is so unlike what I was taught about Sith. In private, he doesn't seem so evil. Is he right? Is the Sith way better?' The 1st half argued back.
Naruto smirked as he sensed Yadira's internal conflict, with her starting lean towards his way. Towards rejecting the Jedi way, and accepting herself. He would come back in the morning with some breakfast and beginning the next step.
Deconstructing and demonizing the Jedi Code.
Naruto thought this would be more difficult, but it was going smoothly. The reason most Jedi fall is because their code makes them mentally weak and incapable of resisting the Dark-Side. The code was so stupidly restrictive of oneself, that it denied you the right to be a sentient being, to be human. The Jedi Code makes one little more than a robot made of flesh and blood. That's why the Jedi try to stay out of Galactic affairs. When their code meets reality, it crumbles to pieces like when an ocean wave meets a sand castle, and all you have left at the end is a soggy and broken mess.
Naruto then walked behind Vette and plopped down on his couch as he and her shared a bowl of popcorn and watched some holo-vids.
Next Morning
Naruto walked into Yadira's hold chamber, with eggs, bacon and cooked breakfast sausage in hand. He already eaten and so decided he would bring his captive some food. After all, she wasn't skilled enough to sustain her body with the Force. He walked in and the Twi'leks nose picked up the smell of delicious food.
"Someone's hungry." Naruto teased. Yadira scoffed.
"Can you blame? You're starving me." Yadira growled angrily.
"Well, keeping you locked up is a safety precaution. You did try to kill me." Naruto said as he took a fork and stabbed it into some eggs. He then held it up for her to eat. She resisted for a moment but her stomach won out and she ate the food he fed her.
"Only because you killed my friend." Yadira growled as she ate some of the food.
"He was your colleague, not your friend. Remember, friends are a birthright that the Jedi council denies you." Naruto said.
"That may be but they are still better than the Sith." Yadira scowled.
Naruto smiled softly, containing his glee at her words. She may not have realized it, but she was already accepting what he was saying about the Jedi.
Now, to shatter her long held convictions about the Jedi Code.
"Spoken like someone who doesn't understand her own code." Naruto chided, which enraged Yadira.
"What do you know about the Jedi Code!?" She shouted in anger, letting her hatred be seen by him.
"It goes like this," Naruto said as he recited the code.
There is no emotion, there is peace.
There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos, there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.
Yadira was shocked beyond all belief that a Sith knew the Jedi Code. She had been taught that the Sith were barbaric monsters that didn't care about anything but themselves.
After Naruto let it sink in that he knew the Jedi Code, he asked, "I'm curious, Yadira. Have you ever heard the Sith Code?"
"No, it is forbidden by the Jedi Council to hear the code. Besides, I wouldn't want to hear it anyway. It's probably filled with Sith lies!" Yadira shouted.
"Sith do not lie. We manipulate with the truth or tell half-truths but a real Sith does not lie. We are not Jedi," Naruto calmly countered with a smile.
"Anyway, the Sith Code is this;" He said as he recited the Sith Code.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.
Upon him finishing the code, he looked at Yadira out of the corner of his eye. Yadira's new and raw emotions were all over the place, but he could sense that above all, she was mesmerized by the Sith Code. Not surprising, really. The Jedi Code denied the self, while the Sith Code embraced and focused on the self. Of the two, only the Sith Code was sustainable in the real world.
"W-Wh-What does it mean? The Sith Code?" Yadira asked.
"Would you like me to tell you?" Naruto asked, to which she nodded eagerly. "Well, to understand the Sith Code, I must contrast it with the Jedi Code."
"We'll start with the first line of the Jedi Code. There is no emotion, there is peace. The Jedi teach that emotions are evil and teach their followers to abandon them entirely. One of their more famous explanations is this; 'Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to Hate. Hate leads to suffering.' I ask you, how can fear lead to anger? Fear is a natural biological response. Fear lets you know not to be close to that grenade that's about to explode and run the other way. There is nothing wrong with fear, or emotions. And it's not just your bad emotions that you have to give up. It's the good one's too, like compassion, joy, serenity, love. Emotions make life worth living. The Jedi, though, are hypocrites. The Jedi, in their fear of the Dark Side, enforce strict rules like prevent their members from connecting and forming attachments with their relatives, or falling in love and having children. They also frown upon and persecute divergent schools of the Force. Their extremist hatred for the Dark Side creates the Jedi's worst enemies, like with the end result of the Great Hyperspace War. Why do you think the Jedi more or less have to kidnap little children? No sane person with any sense, would ever abandon their emotions. Their teachings are so incompatible with real life that they have to indoctrinate children as babies. So that younglings like you would never have a chance to develop individual identities and act as normal, emotional, sentient beings in the first place."
"The First line the Sith Code says Peace is a lie, There is only Passion. The "peace" refers to the lack of conflict, an agent of stagnation. Conflict, however, is seen as the source of progress for both single beings and the civilizations. The necessity of conflict is a law of the universe and not just a Sith Way of thinking. Fundamentally, the Code of the Sith express's our rejection of selflessness and our full embrace of our emotions and passions. The deeper nature of the Sith Order was a predatory one, a contest for the survival of the fittest. Only the strong should survive to become Sith. And while many Sith focus on darker emptions like anger, rage and hate, in truth, we embrace and accept all emotion, including joy, love, happiness."
"So, as you can see, the Jedi, within the first line of their code, are already lying to their followers, while the Sith speak a truth of reality itself," Naruto said, his every word tearing the apart Twi'leks long held belief.
"The Second line of the Jedi Code is There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. Now, I will not deny that at first glance, this doesn't seem all that bad. What it is saying is that Jedi must be circumspection and try to understand the world that is surrounding him. Ignorance is a part of life but it must not be feared. For more knowledge to light their way, the Jedi Temple Archives contains possibly the single largest source of information in the galaxy. The problem with this line starts when you really look hard at what they do with this information. If ignorance is not to be feared and knowledge should be sought, then why did you, a Knight of the Order, not know the Sith Code when asked? After all, you can't defeat an enemy you don't understand, right? The reason is because the Jedi control knowledge. They say that some knowledge is too dangerous, like the Sith Code. They don't teach it or the culture of the Sith, because they know that many of their Order would find the Sith way a better way to live, because you can't suppress your emotions forever. When you do, you end up with cases like Freedon Nadd and Exar Kun. They also don't let the public view what their archives have either. Probably because they don't want the public to know the dark and terrible truth of the Jedi."
"What truth?" Yadira demanded, hungry for more knowledge, as every word he said tore down the long-instilled delusions the Jedi placed within her. Naruto pulled up a chair and sat down with a smirk.
"That the Jedi created the Sith." Naruto revealed, shocking Yadira and shaking the very core of her Jedi teachings with this knowledge. "Let me tell you about a little event that occurred three and a half millennia ago, called the Hundred Year's Darkness. A fancy title but it's truer name is the Second Great Schism of the Jedi. Anyway, a group of Jedi within the Order sought to study the Darkside. It's not known what caused them to do this, but I suspect it was something along the lines of wanting to study the other side of the Force and increase their understanding of the Force as a whole. The normal Jedi saw this and cast them out, simply for seeking to understand the Darkside. Betrayed by their brethren, the Dark Jedi used their new powers to create dark-side animalistic armies to get revenge on the Order that betrayed them. This conflict lasted for one hundred years and while the Dark Jedi were ingenious in their creations of these creatures, the Jedi were too numerous and eventually defeated the Dark Jedi on Corbus, 100 years after the war began, and left hundreds of worlds devastated. Although members of the Republic wanted public executions, the Jedi leaders were inclined to banish the rogue Jedi into the unknown regions, in the hopes that, with time, they would see the error of their ways. In their arrogance and stupidity, the Jedi failed to realize that the Dark Jedi had no intention of forgiving them. They felt they were the ones who had been wronged, simply for seeking knowledge like the Code says. After all, the line literally says 'There is no ignorance, there is knowledge'. The Exiles eventually came across Korriban and enslaved the Sith Species. And thus, the Old Sith Empire and the Sith order were born."
Naruto smirked as this shattered much more of her faith and belief in the Jedi. "So you see, the Jedi preach open-mindedness, but they are close-minded and ignorant of the Dark-Side, preferring only the light side and persecuting anyone who uses or wishes to study and understand the Dark Side."
"The Second Line of the Sith Code says Through Passion, I gain strength. The Sith see themselves as seekers, challengers of old and stagnant ways, in touch with the laws of nature and the universe. We see the Jedi as denying their natures and afraid of the truth around them. Passions is what kept all creatures—from the most rudimentary to the most evolved sentient—alive. We believe that mastery of our passions gives us strength the Jedi lacked and could never hope to wield."
The Third line of the Jedi Code is There is no passion, there is serenity. Once again, the Jedi try to deny reality itself by telling you that passion is wrong. Which is not true at all. The Order's most skilled lightsaber duelists have a passion for lightsaber combat, otherwise, they wouldn't be the best in the Order. Consulars are passionate about understanding the Force and uncovering ancient knowledge, otherwise, they wouldn't be consulars. And if there is one thing the Jedi are passionate about without a doubt, it is destroying the Dark Side, and the Sith. Serenity, if you don't know, is the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled. The Jedi are hypocrites because they claim to embrace serenity, yet are ridiculously obsessed with destroying the Sith and Dark Side to the point where they would even agree with and participate in a mass genocide."
"What you told me on the Brentaal Star, about the Jedi committing genocide at the end of the Great-Hyperspace War. That was true, wasn't it?" Yadira asked, her mind more accepting of the truth with every passing moment.
"It is. I have no reason to lie about that." Naruto said sincerely. It wasn't hard to demonize the Jedi. Jedi were rotten to the core and morally bankrupt, and tried to pretend that they weren't.
"The Third Line of the Sith Code says Through Strength, I gain Power. The stronger a Sith becomes, either in the Force, with a lightsaber, or expanding his knowledge and powerbase, the more power he can achieve and wield, but a Sith must always had to fight to hold on to that power."Naruto said as he continued.
"The fourth line of the Jedi Code says that 'There is no chaos, there is harmony'. The code is telling you that life peaceful, stable, and never changing. Anyone who lives in the real world knows that that is not true. Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs….little moments of chaos. The Jedi try to ignore that real life is chaotic, with some people having more chaotic lives than others. It is part of the reason many Jedi fall to the Darkside, like Exar Kun. By denying the reality of life, Jedi are left ill prepared to deal with the chaos of real life."
"The Fourth Line of the Sith Code says Through Power, I gain Victory. The Sith do not believe that victory by any means is desirable, but believe that unless victory proves your superiority, it is an illusion and temporary. Though there might be different types of victories—peaceful victory, victory by sacrifice, even a truce—Sith dogma teaches that unless the victory is achieved by demonstrating that one's power was superior, it is not true victory."
"The fifth and last line of the Jedi Code says that There is no death, there is the Force. The Jedi are basically saying here that there is life after death. I'll give them that, since I met a Force Ghost of a dead Sith Lord from millennia ago. That's cool if you believe that, but this line of the code conceals it's own lies. The more extreme members believe that nothing that happens in life, good or bad, matters in the slightest as all will become one with the Force. Minus the Sith, but that's is just their biased opinion. The Jedi's denial of emotion makes them apathetic and uncompassionate towards the plights of others. They don't really care about what is going on in the galaxy, as every living will become one with the Force."
"The Fifth Line of the Sith Code says Through Victory, My chains our broken. The true meaning of this line is debated by many Sith. Here's how I interpret it. The chains represent someone's restrictions; not just on a Sith but any being in the universe. The restrictions could be those placed upon them by someone else, or restrictions that one placed upon oneself. The ultimate goal of any Sith is to free himself from such restrictions, but not in the simplistic meaning of just being able to do whatever he wants. The Sith desire to free themselves in order to reach and fulfill their potential. We want strength, power and the ability to determine our own destiny, which, in turn, allows one to do whatever they want for the most part."
"The final line of the Sith Code says, The Force shall set me free. The Sith believe that those who strive for perfection through knowledge and mastery of the Force will be rewarded. The Sith also believe that those who followed their code are free of the mundane restrictions of others, that they strive for a greater purpose and thus threw off the restrictions normally placed upon them by society and other organizations."
Naruto walked closer to Yadira and said after several moments of letting it sink in, "While Jedi force their followers to abandon their individuality, their emotions, and passions, the Sith accept and embrace passions and emotions, and revel in their individuality. In the end, one way is better than the other…and it's not the Jedi. At the end of the day, only the Sith are actually living life to it's fullest."
"How-How do I it? Live life to the fullest? I-I don't even know what that feels like." Yadira whispered as she shamefully realized that she had never been allowed live life.
Naruto smiled kindly, and softly grasped the back of her neck, whispering in her ear, "I will show you." Naruto then calmly walked out the room.
Naruto's bedroom
Naruto walked into this bedroom and took his boots and his other clothes, until he was left with only a pair of black pants on. Naruto smiled as he sensed someone behind him and turned around to see Vette in the corner of his room, clad in nothing but a black robe.
"Well, I wasn't expecting this when I finished with my prisoner." Naruto said with a smile.
"Well, what can I say? You've been teasing me and dropping hints every day that I just decided to act on my feelings." Vette said, her eyes filled with lust and desire as she swayed her hips sexily, walking closer to him until was inches from him, and placed both of her on his chest. "I want you."
Naruto wrapped an arm around her waist and the other hand on the back of her neck.
With Yadira
The red twi'lek's eyes opened wide as she began to feel sensations, experience emotions and hear thoughts that were not her own.
With Naruto and Vette
Lemon
"You sure you want this?" Naruto asked.
"I'm not a bloody Jedi." Vette smiled as she untied the robe that hugged her body.
Naruto sat back and enjoyed the show as she stripped herself before him. Naruto smiled as his eyes moved up and down her now completely naked body. She had a nice pair of B-cup tits, plump and perky, fair skin from top to bottom and creamy smooth, a nice flat stomach with curvy hips and a thin waist and nice long toned legs. Her blue skin, lekku, and violet eyes, only added to her exotic appeal.
"You're beautiful." Naruto said.
"Thank you." Vette blushed before she locked lips with him while she sat in his lap and straddled him.
Naruto's hands roamed up and down her body as his hands traveled south and he gave her nice round and firm ass cheeks a nice squeeze, which made her moan in delight into the kiss.
Naruto responded by licking at one of her tits before taking it into his mouth. She moaned softly as he started to suckle on the soft pink orb of flesh in his mouth while he brought another hand up to squeeze her other breast. Vette was in heaven while Naruto sucked and gently nibbled on one of her nipples while his other hand played with and massaged her other breast. Naruto then switched tits. All the while Vette's pussy was getting nice and wet, with some of her fluids leaking down her thighs.
Finally, she pushed Naruto to the side on his back on the bed, as Naruto looked up at her in surprise as she took control and straddled his face with his lips only inches from her now dripping pink snatch.
With Yadira
Yadira was becoming horny for the first time in her life, as she was forced to experience every sensation, thought, and emotion that Vette was currently feeling.
Back with Naruto
Naruto kissed her inner thigh as he gripped her hips. Vette let out a moan of pleasure as she felt Naruto licking into her folds and tasting her dripping wet pussy before he found her clit and started licking at it to which sent shivers up her spine and caused her to shudder in pleasure. He then stuck his tongue into her wet folds and twirl it around in her moist womanhood.
"Naruto. That feels so good." Vette moaned raking her fingers through Naruto's hair as he brought his hands up to cup her breasts in his hands again as well as lightly pinch her nipples.
Vette was surprised when Naruto sent a mild spark of Force Lightning(the kind that would bring her pleasure and not pain) through his tongue, causing her to clasp her hands over her mouth as he continued to eat away at her pussy. He could feel her inner walls constrict around his tongue and knew that she was nearing the end.
"Naruto!" she gasped as her eyes were rolling back and giving a loud groan as she began to shudder and threw her head back.
Vette came into Naruto's awaiting mouth as he continued his assault to clean up her womanly fluids and let her ride out her orgasm.
Once she came down from her high, Naruto gripped her shoulder and flipped her over so she was on her back and he was on top of her. Naruto pulled back and quickly took off his pants, freeing his now fully erect 10 in. long, 3.5 in. thick cock from it's confines.
Naruto positioned himself comfortably between her legs with his dick rubbing against her still wet front entrance, teasing her.
"Fuck me." Vette said before Naruto kissed her as he positioned the head of his penis at the entrance of her vagina and slowly entered. Vette moaned and whimpered loudly in pleasure as she was stretched out more that she ever had been stretched or even thought was possible as he sheathed himself fully inside her. Words alone could not describe her fulfillment.
From Yadira
Yadira screamed to the heavens as she was forced to experience the sensation of what Naruto's cock would feel like. The connection was dulled some, but she still got an idea of how he would feel inside of her.
Back with Naruto and Vette
The both of them moaned into one another's mouths as he started thrusting his hips forward and sliding his cock in and out of her body. She in turn, wrapped her legs around his waist to draw him in further and gripped his back tightly, as he slowly built up a steady rythm.
Vette kissed him hungrily as he reshaped her love canal. Her breasts were pressed up against his bare chest which felt really good. She was moaning loudly when she felt the head of his cock pounding against her cervix. Her body shuddered as it was rocked with another orgasm, her pussy clenching around his tool like a vice.
"Naruto! I'm coming again!" Vette cried out in delight.
It continued like this for 30 minutes, with Vette experiencing five more orgasms from Naruto rapidly slamming his cock into her violently and powerfully with his crotch slapping loudly against hers making wet slapping noises.
Naruto felt the pressure in his loins while Vette's moist caverns coiled around him tightly.
"Vette! I'm about to cum!" Naruto said
Vette knew he wasn't lying because she could feel him twitch inside her body which signaled that he was gonna release again. She also was on the verge of her sixth orgasm and she was moaning loudly.
"Me too!' Vette moaned
Naruto was thrusting into her with as much speed and power as he could muster, before giving on final thrust and released his load into her.
Vette's back arched as her own orgasm hit her as she felt Naruto's fill her womb half full with his cum. The both of them took a few moments to catch their breaths.
Vette looked up the smiling Naruto and noticed something. She felt unusually energetic. Like she hadn't just had 7 orgasms in an hour. In fact, she felt more energetic then when they started. And her loins burned hotter with greater desire for the man whose cock was currently inside her.
"You've probably noticed that you feel more energy, don't you?" Naruto said as he sat up and put his back against the wall, bringing Vette up with him as he slowly thrust upwards into her, causing her to moan loudly. "It's a little trick I developed after my first sexual encounter ended up with the woman I was with not being able to keep up and leaving me unsatisfied. Basically, by using my sperm as a medium, I can transfer my Force Energy into you and restore your stamina. Which means you will never tire while we fuck, which means more fun for us."
Vette's eyes widened at the implication. She understood nothing about the Force, but she got what he was saying. They could theoretically fuck for a whole day, or do it anywhere and anytime as his special skill would remove the tiring effect sex has. But with all the sex they could have, she risked-
"Don't worry," Naruto assured her as he kissed her neck and gripped her ass, "I can control the fertility of my sperm, taking it from 0 to 100% fertility. You would only get pregnant if I allowed it."
Naruto whispered huskily into her ear as his hands slowly moved from her ass and up her back. "Not to say, that being pregnant would look good on you, my sexy thief."
Vette suddenly screamed in pleasure as she came from the fantasizing the revelation brought, his continue thrusting, and the act of his gripping the ends of her lekku and pulling on them a bit drove her over the edge.
"The real fun is just beginning." Naruto said giving short and quick thrusts as Vette's head was pulled back from Naruto gripping her lekku and he kissed her breasts.
8 hours later
Naruto smiled as Vette slept contently at his side. Her coming to him today had not been expected but it worked out for him. By establishing a one way link between her's and Yadira's minds that he now undid, Yadira would be able to experience a somewhat lesser version of everything Vette was feeling. Vette, on the other hand, would not notice a thing.
He could sense that Yadira was nearly there to being utterly devoted to him, but he needed one final test. He couldn't afford to refreeze her and if she failed his test tonight, he would have to unfortunately kill her as she was a flight risk that he couldn't afford. He also really did NOT want to kill her.
Time to see if she would live or die.
In Yadira's holding chambers
Physically, Yadira was fine. Well, as fine as somebody who was denied orgasming for 8 hours could be. Whatever Naruto did to her, she would always get close to orgasming whenever Vette did, but unlike the Rutian Twi'lek she was linked to, she wasn't allowed to. It was maddening.
And that's to say nothing of her mental state. If a Jedi found her now, they would be overwhelmed by how her emotions were being projected.
Then, all of a sudden, the door to the room that held her opened to reveal, not her captor, but her former master, Satele Shan.
"Master Satele," Yadira struggled to say, her own inner turmoil on full display.
"What has he done to you, my former padawan?" Satele said to herself, pitying Yadira and what she had allowed to happen to her former padawan. She should have never sent her on the Brentaal Star.
"Ho-How are you even here?" Yadira asked as Satele let her down from the stasis.
"I know my way around the Empire, my former Padawan. I was able to locate you and now I'm here to rescue you. But we must hurry." Satele said as she hoisted Yadira's arm over her neck and slowly carried.
"No. I mean, how are you here on Dromund Kaas, in this apartment? What did you-" Yadira's question was interrupted when she came upon a sight in the living room. Amongst the lightsaber marks and destroyed furniture, was Naruto, sprawled out on the ground, his eyes wide in shock yet lifeless, a lightsaber stab would in his chest. Vette was lying on her stomach next to him, though Yadira could see the faint marks of a lightsaber slash across the Rutian Twi'lek's stomach.
"No," Yadira whispered as she wrenched herself from Satele's grasp and looked over Naruto's body frantically, searching for any sign of life. "No, No, No." Yadira, in a display of uncharacteristic emotion, sobbed as she rested her head against Naruto's cold corpse.
"Yadira, I understand that you have been suffering here. The Sith had you confused. Come back with me to the Jedi Temple, and we will rehabilitate you. We will-" Satele was interrupted by Yadira as she launched into a tirade.
"You'll do what!? Purge the darkness from me!? Brainwash me again like you and the bastard Jedi did my entire life!? Strip me of my emotions!? Tell me to lie to myself and deny what it means to be alive!? To not embrace my emotions!? Steal my life from me again like you stole me from my parents!? NEVER! I WILL DIE BEFORE I GO BACK TO THE FUCKING ORDER OF LIARS AND HYPOCRATES!" Yadira screamed at the unfairness that the situation represented. Her savior was dead! She was finally ready to accept the Sith way, to embrace her emotions, her passions, leave the Jedi and their inhuman teachings behind, only to have her new life taken from her. By her former master, no less!
"You will not come back then?" Satele asked with a cold tone.
"Never! The delusions and lies that the Jedi blinded me with are gone! For the first time in my life, I can be a real person and not some automaton made of flesh and blood. I wasn't given a choice to join the Jedi, I was stolen from my parents and indoctrinated at birth. For the first time, I can finally make my own choices. Even if the Sith Apprentice Naruto is dead, I will never forget how he helped free me from the Jedi's corrupt beliefs. Even with him dead, I would rather be a Sith and be true to myself, than be a Jedi and deny that I have emotions!" Yadira shouted as she Force Pulled a lightsaber from the dead Naruto and prepared to fight for her freedom to live how she chooses and her life.
"For what's worth, I'm sorry that's it's come to this, my former Padawan. But I can't let you stand against the Jedi order." Satele said as she activated her saberstaff. The two woman charged at each other, ready to die for their ideals.
The fight was long and brutal but in the end, Yadira managed to win, by taking advantage of Satele's debilitating wounds she had suffered at Naruto's hands and her dark emotions adding to her power. Yadira sliced her former master's lightsaber in half, and knee'd her in the gut, where she had previously been cut by Naruto.
"This is the end for you, my master." Yadira snarled as she stabbed downward and stabbed Satele through the back and piercing her heart. Satele's corpse dropped to the ground.
Yadira stared at the corpse in revelation. She was free. She had broken her chains that bound her to the Jedi Order and held her back.
"Well done," came the voice of someone she thought was dead. Naruto stood in front of her, completely uninjured, smiling in approval.
"Naruto?" Yadira spoke in uncertainty. She looked to where his corpse was and saw it was still there. "How? I saw your body."
"Oh that?" Naruto shrugged. "Illusions, mind tricks. Well, it's all the same wheelhouse." Naruto waved his hand and the scene shimmered away, to reveal his room completely unharmed. The corpses of Naruto and Vette vanished. In fact, Vette was still in bed, sleeping peacefully. "I've gotten better at them."
"It was a test." Naruto answered before Yadira could ask the question. "I needed to see if you had opened your eyes to the truth and would make the right choice. I couldn't bring the real Satele here so I created a some-what believable scenario and would judge to see if you had truly left the Jedi behind and were ready. You killed you former master in the illusion. Do you know why?"
"She killed you. She killed my savior, the man freed me from the delusions of the Jedi. She killed my Master. What else could I do, but avenge you? Now, I devote my entire being to you. I'm yours." Yadira answered honestly from her heart.
"Come to me," Naruto said as he held out his hand, and Yadira walked close to him. He cupped her chin in his hands, and his Force Lightning surrounded her, but did not harm her. "I am your life, and I am your death. You are mine in body, soul, and mind. I strip of the name of Yadira and give you the name of Talon. You will serve me with all that you are as my apprentice, and I will teach you the ways of the Dark Side."
"I'm truly grateful for the honor, master." Talon said with complete and utter devotion.
"Come, my dear," Naruto said as the lightning around her dissipated, "Those Jedi Robes will not do around here. Let's get you some proper Sith attire."
Later
Talon looked over herself in the mirror. Her red skin was now covered in black tattoos and her eyes were yellow with red fiery rims as she fully embraced the darkside. She now wore black leather opera gloves that ended at her upper arms and black leather boots that hugged her like a second skin. The gloves and boots were covered in gray steel plates. On her body, she wore a black leather leotard, with the shoulder straps covering her shoulders, and the leotard having a black cloth draped around her waist(AN: It's basically the outfit she normally where in the Legends continuity, but this one is a bit more conservative, since it covers her abs and lower back, as well as her shoulders.)
"You look like a real Sith now." Naruto said with smirk of approval as he leaned in the doorway.
"Thank you master." Talon said as she bowed.
"Come on, Naruto. We probably shouldn't keep Baras waiting." Vette said as she approached the two.
"Vette?" Talon said to her fellow twi'lek.
"Yeah?" She replied.
"I just would like to thank you for helping show me the way, if you will." Talon smiled with a seductive and lustful look in her eye, "I look forward to getting to know you as well as I intend to get to know Master Naruto."
Talon walked past them and Vette looked confused, "Hey, what is she talking about?"
"Shh," Naruto whispered cheekily, "That's a secret."
"Hey, come on. You gotta tell me now," Vette playfully whined as Naruto headed towards the Citadel.
Darth Baras's Chambers
When Naruto, Talon and Vette entered Baras's office, they were greeted by the sound of a Force Scream rattling the walls. "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I CANNOT BREAK HIM!"
Vette balked, suppressing a wince as Baras's scream echoed down the corridor, a grim testament to his unbridled, impotent, rage. His fury tore through the Force and Naruto turned to both Talon and Vette.
"Stay here. I don't want him lashing out against either of you." Naruto ordered.
"Yes Master," Talon said with a bow.
"Yeah, I'll wait," Vette looked nervously down the empty hall at their destination, "Thanks."
Naruto nodded and turned away, entering Baras's personal interrogation chamber. The sharp smell of ozone saturated the chamber, burn marks scoring walls. The creature strapped to the interrogation table, barely resembled the Republic agent defrosted from a block of carbonite. Dried black blood, trailed from dozens of cuts on his body, fabric from his shredded uniform imbedded in his wounds. A hand was gone, as was the agents' nose.
"Master."
"Mind your tongue or I will cut it out!" Baras roared his anger pushing his voice to overcome the screech of rending durasteel, "This is impossible. This Republic agent is the key to unlocking the threat we face. But he resists everything!"
Baras drove a gloved hand into the prisoners' stomach just below the ribs, the agent coughing up yellow bile that dribbled down his chin.
"Some unknown power must be shielding this man," Baras growled, "And it defies me!"
"Trust your feelings master. Let them guide you to the answer." Naruto advised.
Baras laughed mirthlessly, a trickle of amusement breaking through his rage, "The minion advises the master. Very good, you demonstrate your progress."
He turned to face his apprentice, "Word has spread Lord Grathan is incensed at the slaying of his secret son and his wife. Well done on that. Now, back to my prisoner."
"There's one last possibility to break him. I though it might be impossible, but perhaps there's a small chance you could pull it off. You are aware of the Dark Temple I presume?"
Naruto nodded his head, glancing at the chambers west wall behind which he sensed the darkness several miles distant. An epicentre of dark Force energy even more potent than some of Korriban's older tombs.
"Over a millennium past, the Emperor conducted horrifying experiments in the bowels of the temple, draining the knowledge and life essence from the greatest Sith Lords of the time," Baras walked over to an interface panel, bring up an image of a simple metal diadem, "He created a device called the Ravager, which ate his victims' minds and delivered to him their greatest secrets. Nothing and no one could with stand the Ravager's intrusion."
Naruto eyed the image on the panel. "You wish for me to retrieve it."
"Indeed, apprentice. It can be found in the Dark Temple, which in the Emperor's absence, become a death trap."
"One potential problem, master. Only the Dark Council and the Emperor may enter the Temple." Naruto pointed out.
Baras switched off the holo-display, clasping his hands behind his back as he began to pace, "Under normal circumstances you are correct apprentice. However, Darth Arctis sent an archaeological expedition a month ago. What remains of the expedition was driven insane and attacks on sight. With the chaos surrounding the temple and the city regarding the recent terrorist attack you will be able to enter unnoticed."
Baras stopped pacing, turning his helmeted head to his apprentice, "Legends describe a secret chamber in the depths of the Dark Temple where the Ravager was encased. You'll know the device by its inscription. This is worth your life to me apprentice. Be swift."
Naruto gave Baras a quick bow and left. He walked towards Vette and Talon. Vette was leaning against the wall, fiddling with the lekku nervously. Naruto asked, "How much did you hear?"
"Mostly lots of angry yelling," Vette answered as they departed, "So… Baras give you anything to do?"
"We must retrieve something from the Dark Temple. A, device of sorts, invented by the Emperor."
Vette blanched, "Err, I really don't like the sound of that. And you sound worried. I've never heard you sound worried."
"The Temple was sealed for a reason." Naruto admitted with a frown.
"Great," Vette deadpanned and looked at her with puppy dog eyes, "Can I stay here? Please?"
Naruto cocked her head in thought before giving a small shake, "I will need assistance."
Vette groaned and Talon smirked at her fellow Twilek, "You're not afraid of ghosts, are you Vette?"
"Course not!" The Twi'lek replied indignantly, "Long-dead Sith can't possible any scarier than the live ones," Vette then registered the amusement and challenge in the fallen Jedi's voice. Yep, she fell for it hook line and sinker.
"Oh, alright fine," Vette grumbled, "But if I die I reserve the right to haunt both of you."
Timeskip
Naruto and his two twilek compatriots came back a few hours later with the Ravager. Sneaking in was easy enough. They had to find the pieces and reconstruct the Ravager, since some dumbass broke it, but it all worked out Talon now had a lightsaber, so he could start training her properly in lightsaber combat. Anyway, a couple of possessed Imperials tried to stop them from fixing the Ravager, and Naruto let Talon cut them down. After seeing her fight again, he knew that using Ataru as her main style would prove disasterous for her down the line. Using the acrobatics in conjunction with other styles was better than strictly using Ataru. It wasted too much stamina, and honestly, was designed for smaller species like Ugnaughts, Lannik's and the species Jedi Master Oteg belongs too. It allows them to overcome their height disadvantage. He work on her swordsmenship later.
Baras had sensed his apprentice the moment he entered the Citadel. Every task or mission, Naruto was surpassing his expectations and he had been doing so since the Academy.
Taking his apprentice in, mind clearly intact, and Ravager in hand, Baras knew he'd made the right choice, "When I sent you into the Dark Temple for the Ravager, I thought it might be the last time I saw you, apprentice."
He took the device from her, turning it over in his palm before facing the republic agent, satisfaction at finally breaking him coursing through his veins, "There's no time to spare, the prisoner grows weaker by the minute. Stand back and bear witness."
"You're wasting … your time," The agent spat as Baras reached out and placed the device on his head, the claws beneath its surface digging into his flesh as they clamped down on his skull, "I … will … not … ahh!"
Vette closed her eyes and turned away her head as the agent shouted in pain, the device they'd retrieved from the temple and his eyes glowing an ominous red.
"Yes. The Ravager has seized his mind. Excellent! In his condition, he won't more than a few minutes before the ordeal liquefies all brain matter. I endured his defiance for so long. His torment is a sight for angered eyes."
Vette fought down her desire to be sick, at the pleasure in his voice. Talon bore a cold and dispassionate look on her face, while she felt through the Force the agony the agent was experiencing. Naruto was used to torture after 4 years and so, he merely crossed his arms as he watched the scene with interest.
"Republic worm, you have the information I desire. Tell me everything." Baras ordered him.
"I am … Republic … Information Service … on special assignment to verify … possible Imperial spy … on Nar Shaddaa,"
Naruto gave Vette a brief glance before returning her gaze to the agent, still pushing out his words as he tried to fight the Ravagers influence, "Commissioned by … Jedi Council … acting on suspicions provided by … Master Nomen Karr…"
"Nomen Karr. That's a name I grow tired of hearing." Baras growled, the Force flaring around him in agitation.
"An old enemy, Master?" Naruto asked curiously. From the cold fury in his masters' voice, there was history between the two.
"My oldest and most hated enemy," He snarled turning his back on the Republic agent, "And an old wound that continues to fester. Nomen Karr is a Jedi Master who infiltrated the Sith during the Great War. I rooted him out, then he nearly destroyed me and fled. He's dedicated himself to proving that the Sith have spites imbedded within Republic and Jedi ranks. I've managed to thwart him at every turn. But he is tenacious," Baras bit out.
Rounding on the agent, Baras restrained the urge to lash out with the Force and his temper. He still needed information, "How did Nomen Karr come to suspect my spy on Nar Shaddaa? Tell me, Republic wretch – what alerted him?"
"Master Nomen Karr has … a new … Padawan," Baras narrowed his eyes behind his mask. Why would a Padawan, not even a full Jedi, unlike an apprentice who was fully Sith, lead to Karr to discover his spy? Naruto found it interesting as well, "She seems to … know any being's … true nature. She senses … hidden darkness … and … untapped purity. When Master Nomen Karr brought her to Nar Shaddaa … this Padawan sensed … darkness in your spy … simply by … seeing him. Karr … believes his Padawan's … ability … is fool proof … but the Jedi Council is … skeptical. I was … to provide the proof … but … I wasn't … able … to report my findings …"
"Astonishing," He mused, even as his mind considered the implications of such a power, "I've never heard of the Force granting such a gift."
Naruto stroke his rebreather covered chin. There were occasionally individuals born who expanded the frontier of what Force users could achieve and it seemed this mysterious Padawan was one such individual. "This is a grave threat to your spy network, Master." Naruto said.
"Yes, my apprentice. It is the doom I felt – the disruption in the Force," Baras agreed, his thoughts somewhat mirroring his apprentice's own, "If this young Padawan can see through deception, a disguise, with such little effort, she threatens everything I have worked for. Such a threat must not wander the galaxy unchecked."
He growled at the agent, knowing their time was increasingly running short, "Who is this Padawan, you Republic pest? Tell me everything you know about her."
"She was found … on Alderaan …! Her power … first emerged … training on … Tatooine. And … Jedi sent another … agent … to investigate someone she suspected on Balmorra."
"Damn it! He's fading," Baras cursed, absently noting the black substance leaking from his prisoners' nose and mouth, the agent was fading and faster than he anticipated, "Is she human or one of the Jedi's cursed aliens? Where can I find her? What is her name?"
"I … have … nothing … no … thing … mo … mo!" Vette hid a wince as the republic agent screamed in pain, his whole body spasming violently before finally falling still. The red glow fade and he looked at the room with glassy eyes, all life extinguished.
"The Ravager has emptied his mind. That is all we have to go on, a few random places within the greater galaxy where Nomen Karr and his Padawan have been. Karr is a relentless crusader, and this Padawan and her unprecedented power threaten everything I have achieved."
"It's still a start master," Said Naruto, "We now have leads to hunt."
"You are correct apprentice," Baras acknowledge, reigning in his anger and striding for his office, apprentice following obediently, waiting in front of his desk as he sat behind it, "And I trust no others with this task. You're duties are likely to take you all over the galaxy. I will need to deploy you at will. You shall have a starship of you own. Go to my personal cargo port and claim it. Then, I will unleash you upon the galaxy."
Naruto sketched a short bow and swept from the room, Vette walking as fast as she could without running to both keep up and leave as fast as possible, leaving his master.
Taxi to the Spaceport
"Soooo, we're going to be tracking Jedi. You guys excited?" Vette asked Naruto and Talon.
Naruto cocked his head at his lover as they rode the Taxi to the speaceport.
"Why would we be excited?" Talon asked.
Vette cocked her own head, "Well aren't you guys mortal enemies? I thought Sith were all about, raahh! Destroy all Jedi!" She lowered her shaking fist as Naruto played with her lekku, sending pleasurable sensations all throughout her body as she leaned her back against him, "Know what I mean?"
"We have Baras's network to secure." Naruto reminded Vette, "But yes I'm excited. It will be quite a challenge."
Spaceport
Naruto gave a small shake of his head as Vette jumped off her speeder and bounded ahead of him and Talon. Dismounting at a more sedated pace, he and Talon followed after Vette.
Crossing the threshold, flanked by tall twin statues of the Emperor, they only took a few steps before hearing Vette's voice and feeling a pull through the Force. Scanning the fairly crowded room, Naruto arched an eyebrow upon observing several of its occupants wore Mandalorian or heavy but non-imperial related armor. It was when one such individual moved out of his line of sight, he saw his Twi'lek lover being accosted by a spaceport security officer, flanked by two other agents.
"Look pal, I'm just warning you, but you may seriously want to let me go." Said Vette glancing at Naruto as he silently approached and Naruto could see she was actively trying to keep the smile from her face when the officer snarled at her.
"I'll do no such thing alien scum. I've had three ships stolen this year by the Mandalorians and their unwashed cohorts. I'm not having any more starships getting stolen on my watch!"
This time Vette really did smirk, her eyes meeting Naruto's own over the officer's shoulder, "Well it's your funeral."
Realizing Vette wasn't looking at him, the security officer whipped around, blinking at Naruto and Talon's appearances before paling once he saw the lightsaber's at their hips.
"Ah… apolo… apologies my Lords," He stuttered, "I didn't know the Twi'lek was with you."
Ignoring the dig about her species, Vette watched grinning as the security officer fidgeted under her Sith's, and yes, she started thinking of Naruto as hers. It only took a second for Naruto to decide he had wasted enough time, and cocked his head at Vette towards the hangar and the officer had to jump out of the way as Naruto strode past.
"Coming, my Lord." She called cheerily giving the officer a small wave to the officer before skipping after her and leaving him fuming.
Bara's Hangar
Vette squealed with delight, ignoring the Naruto and Talon's chuckle as she ran forwards to lean across the console, whistling when she saw the shiny new starship awaiting them in the hanger, "Wow, look at that. We're going in style now…"
Naruto agreed it was magnificent vessel, the design sleek, angular and streamlined forgoing the roundness of most Republic made vessels. The Fury-class Interceptor, described as the hammer that would shatter the rib cage of the Republic. It certainly lived up to such a statement, the advanced hyperdrive and state-of-the-art engines made the starship one of the most versatile in the Imperial Fleet and was a product of 13 centuries of evolving design.
Down below, hanger workers conducted final checks on the ship but there was another presence here, Naruto noticed, standing in the shadows watching and waiting. It wasn't a hanger worker, or a security like before, no this one was more… oppressive.
"I'm going to check it out!" Called Vette, racing down stairs leading from the control room and onto the hanger floor and it was only once the Twi'lek was out of sight that Talon spoke.
"Master," She said, seeking to let him know about what she believed was either a spy or assassin.
"Yeah, I know," Naruto acknowledged as he turned to where the assassin was hiding. "You are not good at concealing yourself."
The Sith who had stepped out of the shadow. "Nice ship," He chuckled, in the hopes of being menacing and send a spike of fear up their spines, but failing, "A reward from your cowardly master for killing Lord Grathan's son?"
"Your point being what exactly?" Naruto wondered as he crossed his arms while Talon's hand went to her lightsaber.
"That's refreshing. I won't have to beat a confession out of you before I take your life. A true Sith thanks his foe for providing an outlet for his rage. My master wanted me to thank you before I killed you."
"It was my pleasure." Naruto replied calmly.
"You have guts, I'll give you that," The Sith smirked, "I'm Lord Grathan's top assassin, he sends me to eliminate those he wants to suffer most. I'm here to kill you, friend, for murdering the son of my master."
"Master, this weakling is beneath you. Please allow me to kill him for you." Talon said as she ignited her new lightsaber and assumed her Ataru stance.
"Go ahead, Talon." Naruto stated.
"You will both die." The assassin leapt at Talon in a poor imitation of a Force enhanced jump. Really, Talon pondered, she'd seen better from younglings at the Jedi Temple on Tython.
This assassin was probably the kind who would have survived Korriban through deceit and backstabbing, not direct confrontations. A single glance told her the assassin wasn't used to confronting his targets in straight forward fights.
She dodged the strike to her shoulder, allowing the sabers to grind against each other until they were a few inches from the hilt. She suddenly spun on the ball of her left foot and without him seeing, twisted her blade around into a reverse grip, impaling her opponent through his neck.
Deactivating her lightsaber, she tilted her head in consideration as she regarded the assassins' corpse before shaking her head. Naruto told her that sometimes Sith took trophies from the fallen enemies, but she personally didn't see the point in it.
"Well done, let's go." Naruto said as they walked down to meet up with Vette.
"There you are!" Vette exclaimed happily running up and grabbing their hands as they descended the last step, "What kept you? This ship is absolutely gorgeous!"
Vette's excitement radiated through the Force, looking like a child running down stairs to find presents on Life Day and feeling indulgent, they allowed themselves to be obediently dragged up the boarding ramp and into the ship's hull.
Naruto blinked, his eyes taking a moment to adjust from the switch between the darker interior of the entryway and glaring hanger lights.
"Oh! Ah, I mean...greetings masters!" He said finally. "I am Toovee Arrate (2V-R8), factotum droid for this vessel. You must be my new masters. Gentle, kind new masters..."
"A ship and my own droid? Sweet." Naruto said excitedly.
"I am relieved..." Naruto glared lightly at him. "Er, pleased, that you find me so agreeable. I will never disappoint you, masters."
"Good. Now, what can you do?"
"I am programmed for a wide array of tasks, including but not limited to: Meal preparation, ship maintenance, janitorial duty and etiquette. Come, let me show you around." He gestured to the room they were in for starters. "Welcome aboard this Fury-class Imperial Interceptor, a versatile craft combining a starfighter's maneuverability with armament to rival larger military vessels." He walked forward toward a large holoterminal. "You'll find all the standard amenities, including your own private captain's locker for storing valuables, it is in the storage area that I will show you momentarily."
"Interstellar communications are accessed via the ship's holoterminal." He gestured to said terminal in front of them. He walked away and they followed him to a room that had the Imperial flag on either side of the door. "This is your private quarters, master. Where you can sleep, enjoy a bit of entertainment, shower or bath, and any research you may need at the terminal inside." Naruto nodded in approval. He was going to love it. Naruto placed Tulak Hords holocron in the locker, as he had made sure to bring it so he could continue to study it. The droid lead them to two rooms in the back of the ship, gesturing to the right first. "In here is where you can speak privately with any crew members, and use the intercom to give out orders if need be." He turned to the left. "This room here is the crew member housing, there are ten beds, a connected large bathroom and storage cabinets for each crew member gear."
"Sweet." Vette said and Naruto nodded in approval.
"I'm glad you approve. This way please." Naruto followed him back out into the hallway. "The door there is for escape pods, should the ship come under attack. There is another set on the other side of the ship as well." He lead Naruto to another room with two beds, a kolto tank and a terminal. "This room is the medical bay. Should your crew members receive extensive injuries we can take care of them here, or yourself if need be." He led Naruto to another hallway and into the right room first. "This is the lounge, where crew members or yourself can spend your time during hyperspace transport to enjoy yourselves. There are plentiful chairs, tables and entertainment systems available to you." Then finally the last room. "And this is the cargo hold storage area. Where you can keep various valuables and findings on your explorations. The captain's locker I mentioned is right over there." He pointed to a large cabinet that looked solid and could hold many valuable pieces of treasure or artifacts. "Now if you will follow me, I will show you the final area in the tour." He led Naruto back into the man room and up a small set of stairs into the cockpit. "Here you can find the astrogation console, which contains a constantly updated map of the known galaxy. This is where the pilot and co-pilots operate if this were a normal ship."
"What do you mean?" Talon asked.
"Well, to travel all you have to do is active the astrogation map and plot a course to a planet, starship or space station and it will automatically start the engines and plot the fastest and safest course to your destination. Whether out in space or planet side."
"Wonderful." Naruto said.
"Yes. Well...any questions, masters?"
"Well your enthusiastic one ain't you," Vette said sounding amused and cocked her head as she eyed the droid speculatively, "Your joints don't look all that strong though. Can you do any fighting at all?"
"I regret I am unable to offer you combat support, masters," If Vette was being honest, the droid did not sound regretful, "Frankly my chassis couldn't withstand the stress. However there are many other duties I can perform should they be beneath your superior status. Please don't deactivate me!"
Vette snickered at the droids pleading. Talon merely shook her head in amusement while finding the droid a bit pitiful. Naruto, on the other hand, just stared at the droid with a raised eyebrow before saying, "I have no current desire to deactivate you,"
"Thank the maker!" 2V-R8 rejoiced, "Before I forget Master, the ship is currently without a name designation and the marker plate is available for modification at your convenience."
As soon as 2V-R8 said name designation, Naruto could see Vette's eyes light up and she was soon bouncing on the balls of her feet.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Vette cheered, "I've always wanted to name a ship."
"Absolutely not. This is my ship and will be the one naming it." Naruto immediately interjected. He could only think of the kind of names Vette could and would come up with.
"Aww. Come on my Lord, please!" Vette whined adopting her best puppy-dog look, "Please can I name it. Pretty please with a cherry on top."
"Vette. Don't make me repeat myself."
Vette pouted at the warning note in the Sith's voice, "Fine. But I am going to pick a bunk for my stuff and I am going to sufficiently trash it," She headed off to explore the rest of the ship calling out, "Don't wait up!"
"I will go and pick a bunk for myself as well, Master." Talon gave Naruto a small bow and then left to pick out her bunk.
"Is there anything I can do for you Master?" 2V-R8 asked politely.
"Prepare the engines for take-off and hyperspace." He ordered as he sat in the pilot seat and activated the controls. Baras would likely contact them once they were offworld, so the sooner they got into space the better. Displays blinked to life as engines roared, the hanger crew sprinting away as a hiss and clunk resounded through the ship, boarding ramp clicking into place and the hatch slid shut. The ship then exited the hangar and into Kaas's upper atmosphere and entered Imperial Space.
"Okay I just putting it out there, but I am not eating from rations every night," Naruto looked up from where he was sitting as Vette walked in waving a packet of rations, "I've yet to find one of these that doesn't taste like carbonite."
"It certainly is better than the crap they fed me in the Jedi Temple as a baby. Then again, gruel isn't made to taste good." Talon said as she walked in and sat in the only chair left.
"I am sure…" He was interrupted by the holo-terminal pinging from the main room
"Probably Darth Roly-Poly." Chimed Vette, causing Naruto to laugh and Talon to muffle her giggle with her hand.
"Darth Roly-Poly?" Naruto asked as he stifled his laughter, getting up and walking into the main room.
"Well, you know his belly is so huge." Vette explained sitting on the sofa out of sight of the terminal
"You should probably show a little respect towards him, Vette. I imagine Darth Baras could just as easily Force Choke you through a holocall." Talon warned, as Naruto tapped at the buttons on the console.
"Yeah well as long as I don't do it when he calls I should be fine then." Vette smirked fearlessly and Naruto smiled, as Baras's image flickered to life.
"Apprentice, I trust you find your starship satisfactory."
He gave a short bow of gratitude, "It is an outstanding vessel."
"I hope that it serves you well. Now there is much to be done, my interests must be protected and my enemies destroyed. Nomen Karr's efforts to expose my spies and proven his Padawan's power to the Jedi Council must meet with systemic failure. You will exhaust yourself in this charge."
"You want your network secured first."
"Correct." Baras affirmed, clasping his hands behind his back, "We know my spy on Nar Shaddaa was being surveilled and the Jedi have sent someone to investigate my spy on Balmorra. They must be silenced before you hunt the Padawan down."
"I take it recalling them isn't an option since it would give credence to Karr's claims?" Naruto asked.
"That is correct, their disappearance would look suspicious and serve to confirm the Padawan's accusations. They must die," Naruto nodded and let Baras continue, "My contacts on Balmorra and Nar Shaddaa will detail what must be done."
"One more thing apprentice. I noticed earlier that the Twi'lek you took captive on the Brentaal Star is now traveling with you."
'Yes master, I didn't speak earlier because the task at hand was more important." Naruto motioned to her and Talon stepped forward. "My master, this is Talon, formerly known as Yadira Ban, former padawan to Satele Shan and former Jedi Knight."
"My lord," Talon bowed respectfully to Baras.
"I can sense her devotion to you and the touch of the dark side within her. Tell me, how did you manage it?" Baras said.
Naruto gave him a brief explanation of what he did. "Hahaha, perfect. I look forward to rubbing it in Satele's face the next time I see her." Baras chuckled
"You may do with the girl as you wish but remember, your tasks are paramount, apprentice. Bring cruelty. Bring rage. Bring death." He bowed as Baras's cerulean image disappeared.
"So Balmorra or Nar Shaddaa, where to first on our journey of galactic conquest?" Inquired Vette from her slumped down position on the sofa.
"Balmorra," Naruto decided after a moment of thinking, heading for the bridge to input the coordinates, "The agent there is in the most danger of being discovered." It would be 3 days before they arrived on Balmorra.
The ship entered hyperspace and Naruto went back into the main room to talk to Vette and Talon. "Talon, feel free to relax and rest up, it's been a long day. We will begin training tomorrow after breakfast."
"Yes master," Talon bowed and decided to sleep.
"Vette, I could use some help breaking in my new bed." Naruto said suggestively.
"I'm all yours, lover." Vette said as he took his hand and led her into his private captains quarters. They didn't see Talon look at Naruto with longing stare, wishing he show her such affection one day.
Chapter End
I'm going back through all my chapters and make Vette's skin blue again. I think I prefer her as blue skinned and since I now have Talon on board, it will make things more interesting when Talon does start sharing Naruto's bed. This will be the only time I change Vette's skin tone.
