G'Day all. This is my first story. First I'm no grammar master, so if that's an issue, you know where to exit. Second, this is AU, so no complaints about howI'm either leaving things out, or not adding. My story my rules. And finally, I don't own Naruto or Star Wars in any way, shape, or form. This is purely for my, and hopefully your enjoyment. On to the story.

The Palace of Naboo was a tranquil place. It overlooked the city of Theed, Capital of Naboo, and seat of the Queen. One could look out and be lost in the beauty of it all. And depending on where you where, You could gaze out at the lush fields surrounding the city.

However, at the moment, none of this mattered to the newly elected Queen.

Padme Amidala was elected only one month before, and was still adjusting to the role. While she was still young, she had proven herself time and again that she was capable of ruling. And many where also saying that she would grow to be possibly one of the most beautiful Queens there had ever been. And at Thirteen, early signs of that beauty where starting to show.

At the moment though, she was been lead through a series of underground corridors, to a science lab that was hidden from all but the highest members of government, and those needed to work there. While it had been there for a long time, she was the first Ruler to be lead inside since it's creation.

Soon, they came to the last checkpoint, quickly cleared security, and where lead into the enclosed room, then sealed inside.

"So why have i been lead here?" she asked, curious.

One of the scientist, Larry, answered. "Your highness we led you here to show you, and explain the reason this lab was built in the first place. While a lot of our discoveries and work we do for the people comes from here, it was mainly as a thin disguise for what we where really doing. If you would please follow me?"

She was led down another set of small corridors, with only her security captain at there side, as where they where heading was even more security critical. In fact it took five minutes just to get through the doors. There weren't many who would be able to break in here.

She was about to ask why there was so much precaution into security, but then she saw the massive pod through the viewing window.

It truly was large. Ten meters wide, as well as tall. Before she could ask, Larry started to explain.

We found this pod roughly a hundred years ago. At first, we thought it was a capsule containing some of our lost history, however we quickly discovered that not only was it been powered, but there's was a living person inside, frozen in stasis. Before we could study much further, it was found out that it was losing power. In an effort to keep quite possibly the only survivor from our recorded beginning, it was decided to build this facility, to continue to power the pod. However, over the course of the last two years, systems have started failing."

Padme was shocked to say the least. She could hardly believe it. A stasis pod possibly holding one of there earliest ancestors? She could see the need to study it, and possibly reawaken whoever was inside. But what Larry said finally caught up with her.

"Did you say that some systems have started failing?"

"Yes Your Highness. We don't know how or why, but they are. That is why we wanted you here Your Highness. We need permission to open the pod and try to revive whoever is inside."

Padme didn't know what to think. On one hand, they could try, but fail due to the pod itself or many other problems she couldn't even begin to comprehend. Or do nothing, and whoever was inside would die anyway. Before she could answer, there was sudden blaring from a multitude of stations.

"What's happened?" Larry asked.

"The pod is failing. many systems are shutting down. We can't stop it!"

"Core temperature is rising. It must be a fail safe, because whoever it is is been woken up!"

That got wide eyed looks from everyone. Larry however was quick to issue commands, primarily the evacuation of the pod room. No one knew if there where any diseases or what could happen, so he wanted everyone out for safety.

And none to soon, For as soon as the inner door closed, the pod opened.

Line Break: Jedi Temple.

The Jedi Temple was normally a calm and serene place to visit. There where young-lings training, various Knights, Padawans and Masters went about there business, and the council was having a session. All of a sudden, a fierce, malicious energy reverberated through the force.

The young-lings passed out almost immediately, overwhelmed by the sheer power and rage that ripped through them, Padawans dropped, fear spiking through them, and been unable to process what was happening, while the Knights and Masters, struggled to understand where it was coming from. In the Council chamber, all the Masters reacted quickly, leaving the room in force enhanced speed, to try and find where this was coming from, while Master Yoda did his best to radiate calm and peace to combat the feelings of rage and destruction, though he wasn't having much success at first.

Then as suddenly as it came, there was a massive shift, as peace and serenity radiated in turn, drowning out the vile dark feelings, overwhelming them in such ferocity, that many Knights and a few Masters past out with calm peaceful expressions on there faces.

Then it was gone. The force stabilised. Within minutes, all the Jedi in the galaxy had suffered from this massive shifting in the force. When the council regrouped, many stared at Yoda in awe, thinking he was the one who had overpowered the Malevolent feelings that where portrayed. He was quick to correct them.

"Know not, what this is i do. Meditate on this, we must."

Many could see the slight concern in there Grand Masters eyes. If he was concerned, Then that could mean there was a very powerful being out there, and no one knew who or what or even if they could find them. They could only hope that they weren't the resurgence of the Sith.

Line Break: Unknown Planet.

There where two shrouded and hooded people watching another train. The one training was meant to be there dark assassin. So far he was proving to be a masterful student, mastering all that he was taught at a rapid pace. They where quite pleased with the results so far.

Then they felt it. a tremendous surge in the dark side, a surge unheard of before, and the to Sith and there assassin basked in its power. However, it gave way to the power of the light fairly quickly, and with such power, that they where left breathless, and in the case of the Sith, in slight pain from it's purity. But, just as suddenly as it came, it left again.

None of them knew what caused it, but vowed to find it, believing that if they could control it, they could finally rule the Galaxy.

Line Break: Naboo.

The door of the pod fell away, finally revealing the figure held within. It was a female human child, being held in place by numerous straps and clamps, with shoulder length blonde hair. Her cheeks also had whisker like markings on them.

Looking closer, Padme guessed that when she was frozen, she must have been around her own age, as there was evidence of her coming into her body. Though she guessed that if she only wore what the girl wore it would be obvious for her as well.

She wore a sports bra over her developing breasts, revealing that her body had many scars on it, though what from she could only guess, and torn up jumpsuit style pants, showing off firm and strong slender legs. All in all, she looked like a very fit and healthy person, and if she was to guess from the scars, a fighter as well.

Suddenly, the girl opened her eyes, which where the richest cerulean blue she had ever seen, with sits down the middle. She started to look around frantically, and move, however she was hindered by the restraints. Becoming frustrated at the fact she couldn't leave the pod, she bared her teeth, showing sharp and vicious looking fangs protruding from her mouth. It was only then Padme noticed the fox like ears on the side of the girls head.

After only a minute to get over his awe at the fact that the girl was alive, Larry instantly started running tests on the environment, to determine if it was safe. Just as he was about to announce it was, there was a sudden snapping noise heard, which drew everyone's attention.

The unknown girl had broken one of the metal restraints holding her right hand.

In quick succession, she used it to help her free her left, then her legs, and finally use claws, that grew from her hand, cut through the remaining leather straps. she then began frantically pacing the room, trying to find a way out, and when not finding it, lashed out in rage, destroying what was left of the pod, and started causing damage to the room. Considering that the room was made out of some of the strongest known materials, it was quiet the feat of strength.

The room suddenly broke out into loud conversation, then arguments amongst everyone, as to what to do next. Padme though, couldn't take her eyes off the girl in the room. it was as if she was mesmerised. Slowly, the girl seemed to calm down from her rage and sat against the far wall. Just as Padme was about to look away and ask for silence, the girl suddenly looked up with a curious expression, and looked directly at her.

Padme was shocked. There was no way she could know she was there. However curiosity had now overcome her. So she quietly left the room, and made her way to the door into where the girl was trapped. She managed to gt it open with little fuss and walked in. And also set of the alarm in the observation room, which quickly quietened everyone down. what they saw had them frozen in shock and fear.

Padme noticed that the girl was looking at her still, with her head slightly tilted, giving her a cute look that Padme smiled at. She slowly walked forward, and held out her hand to the girl. Slowly, and hesitantly, she reached up and grabbed it softly allowing her to be pulled up. It was at that moment when Captain Panaka and the the scientist came rushing in the door.

Suddenly Padme found herself been pushed back to the wall, with the girl in front of her crouched down and growling menacingly at the others. That stopped them in there tracks, as they had not expected that.

Padme, knowing she had to do something before someone got hurt, put her hand on the girls shoulder, and felt the tensed muscles there. The girl was clearly wound up, and acting like a corned animal, ready to protect herself from anything. Once she had put her arm on her shoulder however, she felt them start to relax, and the girl slowly stood up from her crouch, though you could clearly see that she wasn't afraid to lash out again suddenly if she felt threatened. It was then Padme felt something soft brush against her leg, and looking down, she and everyone else noticed the blonde tail slowly waving around.

Whoever it was was clearly a mystery. Padme tried to talk.

"Can you understand me?"

The girl, refusing to turn away from the rest, stiffened slightly, and nodded.

"My name is Padme, what's yours?" She asked. better to start small, and calmly, than rush in.

There was a pause, then a soft, but rough voice, as though it wasn't used much replied. "Naruko."

Padme smiled slightly. "Would you like to come with me, and get some food?"

Naruko seemed to like that idea, however was clearly hesitant. Before anyone else could say or do anything, Panaka slowly eased out of the room. He sensed that the Queen was under no threat for the moment, and Naruko was clearly feeling threatened by everyone in the room. Larry and the rest followed after only a short pause, also thinking the same. Naruko clearly relaxed, turned and nodded.

Padme held out her hand, and after Naruko took it, led her slowly from the room. From there, they slowly made there way towards the Palace above ground, and to the Queens chambers. Thanks to Panaka, the way was cleared, so that Naruko wouldn't become overwhelmed by people, and possibly lash out. though it was clear that she knew they where there.

After she had been fed, they started to talk, with Padme explaining who she was, and about the Galaxy at large, which seemed to throw Naruko for a loop, as she was clearly not aware that there was more to the Galaxy than she thought. In turn, Naruko also explained a little about her past, and how she was basically raised in a lab, and experimented on thanks to a rare mutation in her family that gave her a very rapid healing factor. It was through this experimentation, that she got her tails, ears, fangs and clawas, as well as an enhanced strength and speed, though it was very painful, and came with the cost of her having to control her animalistic instincts, which became harder and harder to do the more angry or stressed she got.

She also explained that she was put to sleep, because the people who experimented on her realised that they had created a weapon that they could no longer control. With a rapid healing factor, increased senses, strength, speed and agility, they had created the perfect killing machine. the only thing was that Naruko was only interested in killing those who had experimented and hurt her. Which was everyone at the time.

So they sealed her in the stasis pod to be awoken at a later date, when they would have found a way to control her. Either they hadn't or they had forgotten.

However, all to soon, day gave way to night, and the events of the day caught up with them. So they retired to bed, with Naruko sleeping on the large couch until Padme could organise rooms for her new found friend. Until then, she would stay on Padme's couch and become a body guard to her, after she had learnt about the Galaxy at large, and the customs of the Naboo. Of course, that also meant either finding a plausible story, or finding a disguise to hide Naruko's tail and ears, at the least.

However, that was a worry for latter. Both fell asleep with smiles, having found friendship in each other.
