Chapter 8: Darth Plagueis and Mygeeto.

San Hill Residence...

"Now let's move fast and get off this planet," Naruto stated as he had Talon control San and made him take them to his secret room.

Inside San's office, The Munn pulled out one of the books from his shelf and it scanned him from head to toe.

A computerized voice greeted him and said, "Welcome back." As the door opened on the side of the room.

"Let's go and see what's inside." Naruto stated as he had San go first in case there were any safety precautions.

Aayla and Talon followed, leaving San Hill's two guards behind; as they entered the secret room, they noticed it had a strong connection to the dark side of the Force, which meant the Sith spent a lot of time there.

"Talon, please have San Hill open his computers so I can have Laari download and copy any useful information," Naruto ordered as he plugged a device into San's computer, allowing Laari to access it.

"Okay, no problem." The red Twi'lek said as she made San open his computer system. Naruto had Aayla go over to see if she could get any useful information with the blonde. Meanwhile, he talked with Laari to see if she found anything, and she did, something big.

"So, what did you find on San Hill's system?" Naruto asked, but instead of speaking, Laari put up a secretly recorded video feed of San's office.

Video Feed...

"My Lord, what a pleasant surprise! I wasn't expecting you to visit me today." San Hill said to another Munn man who was in a dark rod that covered half of his face.

San Hill was surprised but not surprised at the same time to see his master in his secret office room; the Sith had been using it to store information they didn't want to get out.

"Hmmm...so you don't want me here, do you? Maybe you are plotting against me behind my back." The Munn said, but his voice had a dangerous edge to it.

"Not at all, Master. My house is always open to you," San replied quickly.

"Well enough with the playing around; I have work to do," the man stated as he looked over some information on his computer screen.

San Hill saw some information that intrigued him, like his master commissioning clones to be made in a war that would be fought in the future.

"If you don't mind my asking, Master, why are you making clones for the Jedi to use against us? When they could just join our cause and wipe the Jedi out?" San asked, carefully watching his master.

"My," he said with a dark gleam in his eye. "You have become quite bold recently." He paused and then continued, "I think I will have to remedy that later."

"I mean no disrespect, Darth Plagueis," San said, fearing for his life as he spoke out of turn. "I am just curious about your plan."

"Hahaha, I was just joking, San," Darth Plagueis said. "I don't mind your curiosity." Darth Plagueis chuckled and continued, "I am going to use the clones to destroy the Jedi from within with Order 66." The Sith Lord's face was now fully visible, revealing a familiar visage with yellow Sith eyes.

Video Feed End...

The video ends with Naruto wondering what Order 66 is and how Darth Plagueis apparently was Hego Damask II, making this mission even more important.

What does this mean?" Aayla asked as Laari said she had gotten everything off the computer.

It means that the Jedi Order is in big trouble," Naruto stated plainly. "We need to get to Mygeeto to get more answers."

Boom

There was a huge explosion that shook San Hill's house and blew up half of it; Naruto had used a Force Push to repel most of the blast that came his way.

"Are everyone okay?" Naruto asked as he got back on his feet; the explosion had knocked everyone down.

Aayla replied as she got up, "I'm okay."

"Fuck," Talon said as she got to her feet, blood trickling down her forehead.

Naruto looked around the room and saw Sasuke's body crushed by some of the debris that had fallen from the ceiling during the explosion.

The blonde cursed, "Fuck!" as he realized the shit was about to hit the fan.

Naruto heard footsteps and in came a bald woman with a scowl on her face; he recognized her as one of the killers from the village.

"What are you doing here, Sith?" Naruto asked in a serious voice, getting ready to kick the woman's ass.

"Get ready to die, Jedi! The bald woman bellowed in rage and charged at the blonde with her lightsabers in hand.

"Bring it, bitch!" Naruto yelled and launched himself at the Sith with his blaster in hand.

Naruto and the Sith were exchanging blows, with the Sith trying to cut the blonde in half, and Naruto shooting at the Sith.

"Stand still, you blonde bastard!" the bald woman shouted in rage, using the Force to send a crumbling wall his way.

Naruto jumped over the wall and fired at the Sith, who deflected the blasts or dodged them; the blonde grabbed some dust from the ground while the Sith was distracted by dodging his blaster bolts.

"Bring it on, you bald bitch!" Naruto taunted the Sith.

The Sith rushed forward to the blonde, who dodged the slash of her light saber and brought her hand to her face, throwing the dust in her eyes, blinding her.

The Sith swung her light saber wildly, screaming in pain and rage; the blonde decided to end this fight now as he closed the distance between them and kneed the Sith in the stomach, making her cough up blood and slamming his fist into her temple, causing the bald woman to crumble to the ground.

The blonde said, "Take that, bitch," as he took the Sith's lightsabers and pulled out some handcuffs to restrain her.

Aayla supported Talon with her hands around her shoulders; they had watched the blonde deal with the Sith. Aayla wanted to help the blonde, but Talon told her to stay out of it.

"What are you going to do with her?" Aayla asked as she saw Naruto putting the bald woman on his shoulder.

"I am going to dig into her mind and find out all of the secrets she has hidden in her bald head," the blonde replied. "But first, let's get the hell out of here before they pin San Hill's murder on us."

"Shit," Aayla said when she remembered that San was indeed dead and the banking clans would be out for blood.

"No, we are not going to put all the blame on Miss Sith here, but after we dig into her mind," Naruto said cheerfully.

"Let's get out of here before anyone shows up," the blonde exclaimed as he put Talon on his other shoulder and ran for it, with Aayla right behind him.

Minutes later, several armed Munns appeared and surveyed the carnage, then spread out and began searching for survivors.

"Sir, we found San Hill and one of his guards dead," a Munn soldier said as he looked at his commander, Lun River. "There is one survivor, but he is in bad condition; he may not live."

"Take me to him now," Commander River said to the soldier who did as ordered. "Tell me what happened here and who killed San Hill."

River could only watch as the badly injured personal guard of San Hill tried to speak, but blood came out of his mouth instead of words before he fainted.

"Damn it, I want you to make sure this man lives; he might be able to give us a clue as to who did all this," River ordered his men, swearing under his breath.

Spaceship Konoha...

The blonde, his two companions, and their captured prize made it back to his spaceship before anyone could stop them.

Naruto hurried to the control room and started the ship. Ashoka, who was training, came over and saw the state of everyone, including Ventress's unconscious body. She looked shocked.

Ashoka looked at the captured Sith and asked, "What happened out there?"

"Things got out of hand, and this bald bitch of a woman may have turned us into wanted criminals," Naruto stated bluntly as the ship lifted off.

Aayla helped Talon tend to his injuries as they made their way to the side of the ship soon after the Konoha had left Muunilinst and set a course for Mygeeto.

Naruto let out a sigh of relief as they exited Muunilinst space and were on the way to Mygeeto at high speed.

The blonde knew things had just gotten complicated because of the Sith, but they couldn't afford to stop and explain themselves right now; if they did, the Munn might arrest them, and it would be God knows how long before they could get released, and by then, the Sith's plan would already be in motion.

"Aayla call the Jedi Council but didn't tell them everything that we have learned," Naruto said.

"What? Why! What we learned today could change everything?" Aayla exclaimed, not understanding the blonde's reasoning.

"There is a Sith in the Republic, and I'm sure they are somehow listening to all of the transmissions the Jedi Order has," Naruto stated "this is how they are always one step ahead of the Jedi order"

This shocked Aayla, but she began to think the blonde might be right; some of the members of the Banking Clan were also high-ranking officials in the Republic, and they had turned out to be Sith or sympathetic to their cause.

"Fine, so what should I tell them?" the blue Twi'lek asked.

"Let them know what happened on Muunilinst was not our doing and we are going on radio silence for the foreseeable future." Naruto replied.

"But if I do that," she said, "they will be worried that I have been forced to say it or corrupted by the Sith." She paused. "They will send someone after me for sure."

"That's fine as long as they can be reasoned with; we will tell them what we are doing," the blonde said. "Now, call them and don't tell them where we are going."

The blonde watched Aayla's discussion with the Jedi council and it was both familiar and hilarious to watch; it took the better part of an hour for her to get off the call, and only because she hung up on them in frustration. When she realized what she had done, she had a mortified look on her face, causing all those present to burst into laughter, which made her blush.

"Well, that's one way to end a call with stubborn idiots," the blonde said through laughter, with Ashoka right next to him.

Ashoka said while holding his stomach and laughing, "I didn't think you had it in you."

"I think we are rubbing off on her," Talon said with a smirk, enjoying the blue Twi'lek's obvious embarrassment.

"Well, that's enough of that," said Naruto. "It's time we get some much-needed information on the movements of the Sith from our guest here."

Ventress, who had awakened to the loud noises surrounding her, tried to jump to her feet, but failed; she also attempted to use the Force, but could not focus.

"Hi Sleeping Beauty, I know you're awake," Naruto said. "You might have noticed that it's hard for you to move or use the Force, that's because I used a special drug to weaken the powers of Force users."

The bald woman growled like a wild animal that had been cornered, but Naruto didn't care; he used her tied-up arms to lift her up so she was now facing him.

"Well, since it's time to find out everything you know." Naruto said.

"I will never betray my master," the bald woman replied. "You will have to kill me first."

"I'm not going to kill you," Naruto said while pointing to Talon. "She will break your mind and turn it into soup, while digging out any bit of information you have."

Ventress looked at Talon who gave her a sadistic smile promising to make whatever she was planning to do with the bald woman painful.

The female Sith responded by spitting in Naruto's face. "Do your worst, you needle dick cocksucker! You and your whore will get nothing from me!" Ventress swore.

Naruto gave her a gentle smile as his hand went to Ventress's bald head, and then the pain began; soon the spaceship Konoha was filled with the screams of the Sith.

Chapter End...
