Hello there everybody this is FAllEnOlyMpiaN92 here and I'm to finally being able to present to you The Last Apprentice! This was a work of mine that I've been trying to get around in doing it, but now it's here. This is my first fanfic and I will accept any type of constructive criticism to help me make this and my future stories better.
This is a crossover and so I'm going to let you know right off the bat that there is going to be some OOC in this story, because there will be no way certian characters will be the same as before.
I would also like to point out that this first chapter is kind of like a prologue in a way, but not so much that I decided to actually go with it.

Chapter 1: The New Apprentice
The war had ended with the destruction of the second Death Star. The Emporer had been killed and the Galactic Empire was defeated. There was once again peace and prosperity throughout the galaxy.
However, this victory was not the victory that the rebels had thought they obtained. Aboard the Imperial Star destroyer Nazaro, the Emporer watched as the rebels destroyed his perfect distraction.
The Emporer had a vision before he planned on arriving to the Death Star that showed him his death and caused him to send a clone and observe from a far. Now he waited in the outer rim with his small fleet as they decided the next move.
" To think all that hard work was for nothing." Sidious stated. " Then again this was a perfect opportunity for me to finally start my other plans." He had been reflecting on this experience in his private quarters for a while now as he awaited word from the bridge.
One of his captains had just arrived from the bridge and waited for the dark lord to speak first. " Are the other heads already on board?" He asked.
" Yes, my lord. They are awaiting you in the Briefing Room." The captain answered.
" Good, then it's time to decide our next move." Sidious stated as the captain escorted him towards the Briefing Room.
The time it took wasn't long as they quickly arrived into the briefing room where all of Sidious's heads of state were assembled. There were five ship captains, the current army command, the ISB General, the tactical co-ordinator, and the fleets admiral. These nine men were his only source stability that he was guaranteed at the moment and he knew that they were extreamly valuable to him at this moment.
They all stood at attention as the former Emporer made his way to the center seat. The captain that had escorted him took his seat over with the other captians and allowed the admiral and the army commander to sit next to him.
Once everyone had taken there seat the meeting began. " Gentlemen, it seems as though my vision has came to fruition, and now our mighty empire has fallen." Sidious began. " so now we must plan our next move with this in mind."
" My Lord, perhaps we should meet up with the other fleets and begin from there." Captain Midus suggested.
" And risk the Emporer being discovered!" The ISB General Adendoni Honchi blurted out in response.
" It would help with escorting his majesty with greater ease and not to mention we can then begin to plan for our next counter-offensive against the rebels." Midus replied.
Adendoni was about say something else before the Emporer brought his hand up to silence them. " As beneficial as joing with the other fleets sounds, I'm afraid that they will soon share the same fate as those that were gathered at the Death Star soon enough." Sidious stated. " However, we can't stay out here in the outer rim for to long, not with the limited supplies that we currently have."
" Perhaps we can hold off on some back-dropped world out here in the rim. No one will be looking for us here and there are plenty of known worlds around for us to hide on." The Tactical Co-ordinator Rolam Litmar suggested as he showed them the display of the Galaxy along with their current location.
" That's another thing, these are known worlds and they will be searched eventually." Captain Harvoc mentioned as he adjusted himself to sit up straight.
" Perhaps a desolate moon or large asteroid would be better to hide on." Captain Kraine retorted. Soon enough everything began to lead into arguments over different plans and actions.
The meeting was going no where and they were still debating over what course of action would be best for them. Sidious wasn't enjoying it at all, in fact he was hoping that with the amount of time they've spent arguing that they would have selected a plan and started it already.
Watching as the others continued their squabble Sidious took notice of how Captain Barca was currently messing with the computer. Curiousity got the better of him as he figured he was blantly disregarding this meeting, much as how he himself felt like doing. Although this was unexceptable behaviour and Sidious was going to make it known now.
" Captian Barca, does this meeting bore you so much that you are willing to slack off in front of me?" Sidious spoke aloud causing everyone to quiet with haste and said person to look up at the former Emporer.
" No your lordship, I was going through some of the old galactic records trying to find a specific document." Captian Barca answered honestly and respectfully.
" Now why would you be looking up some old document when you should be helping us decide on a plan here!" Adendoni remarked only to be silenced by the Emporer with the raising of his hand.
" Explain your reason Captian, and for your sake it had better be good." Sidious warned.
" Yes, thank you my Lord." Captian Barca thanked as he changed the holographic image of the Galaxy to the outer rim. " About twelve years ago one of our scouting units got lost in the uncharted space, and during that time they stumbled across a system with a garden world."
" Preposterous, no such report was ever mentioned about a new system!" Kraine objected. " If it was found then there would have been more searches undertaken to mark it on the maps!"
" Ah, but that's just it, they ruled it as to dangerous to inhabit." Barca answered.
" Why was it considered to dangerous?" Midus asked.
" Well from what the pilots explained the world's natives are very different than any race seen around the Galaxy." Barca explained. " They stated that upon landing on the planet a massive war was occurring between the different nations, and what they observed disturbed them."
" What they weren't use to seeing blood and guts? They were probably primitives using nothing but sticks and stones." Kraine chuckled.
" The scouts said that the people didn't fight like regular primitives, but rather beings of power." Barca stated. " they seemed to have been able to fight with some type of magical power, because they were using the elements to fight each other."
Most of the people couldn't help but chuckle at they were hearing. " The boy has lost it hasn't he! Believing in such nonsense!" Adendoni laughed.
" Well considering that one of the scouts is in this room right now I believe that you should watch what you say." Barca stated as looked over towards Admiral Laster. " And I do believe that someone else in this room accompanied him as well if I'm correct."
Admiral Laster let out a sigh as he looked over towards Commander Vash. " I'm curious as to how you learned this information Captian, especially since it was decided to be kept off the record for a reason."
" That world is by far no sanctuary for us. It is completely dangerous and we would not take the Emporer to said place." Command Vash added.
" Wait a minute your telling us that this place is real? And it was determined to stay off the record, but why?" Captain Harvoc asked.
" It is as Captian Barca stated, the populace are to dangerous and there are things on that world that have caused great catastrophes." Commander Vash answered.
" So, from what I'm understanding the populace are dangerous because they have a type of power that can destroy?" Sidious asked.
" Yes, my Lord." Admiral Laster confirmed.
Sidious was quiet for about a minute as he began to put his thoughts together and formed a plan himself. Snickering, he deviced a new plan and one that he rather liked. " Do you still know the coordinates?" He asked the admiral.
" My Lord please, we mustn't go there. I don't mean to oppose but your safety must come first." Admiral Laster begged Sidious.
" There is no need for that I will be fine, but since this world is uncharted and there is inhabitants then we can stay there and begin my own plan." Sidious stated. " Now do you know the coordinates or not?"
The Admiral looked towards the Commander and both sighed as he typed in the coordinates of the unmarked system. The location on the star-map was displayed as a tiny speck of light indicating a sun was shown at the edge of the Galaxy.
From here everything began to move forward as the fleet rallied the coordinates to each ship as they prepared to jump to light speed. From the bridge of the Nazaro the admiral awaited confirmation from rest of the fleet.
The fleet consisting of five Imperial ll-class star destroyers and containing a force of over 185,000 strong was awaiting the command. Once all ships hailed the confirmation the fleet made the jump to light speed.
-Location: Uncharted System-
The had now arrived at the uncharted system. It had been a a couple hour jump through hyperspace but now they had arrived at their destination. Sidious was at the bridge looking at the backwater world that was there destination.
" My Lord all ships are reading in and have gathered up with us. The fleet is all accounted for." The Adrmiral explained.
" Very good. Have the scouting units send out a few buzz droids, so that I can see for myself what this world is like." Sidious ordered.
" It will be done my Lord." Admiral bowed as he ordered the officer towards his right to make it happen.
The deployment of the buzz droids was quick and orderly as the many droids delve towards the planet. Once the pods had landed they began surveying quickly and sent back all feeds back to the fleet.
Sidious watched carefully as he saw inhabitants displaying their power as they fought across the contenient. He saw the differences in their architecture, culture, and their military forces.
One buzz droid had even caught a glimpse of a man conjuring up a massive beast out of no where. This made Sidious grin as he couldn't wait to begin his new plans. " Admiral until you find an appropriate landing zone don't bother landing the fleet." Sidious ordered as he turned and left the bridge.
" My Lord are you not going to stay on the bridge until then?" The Admiral asked.
" No, instead I will be going down there myself and have a look around." Sidious stated. " I will be taking Red Company with me."
" Y-Yes, my Lord." The admiral replied hesitantly.
Lord Sidious, now on a Lamba-class T4a shuttle, was on his way down to the surface of the planet with a squadron of TIE fighters escorting him. The ride down was around five minutes before they saw the ground, which was a heavily wooded land which nearly reminded him of Endor.
Once a suitable landing zone was found the group landed. As soon as the atmosphere was safe enough to breath the shuttle doors opened up and the troops quickly setup a perimeter around the area. The TIE fighter squadron was now on standby until they were needed again.
Sidious made his way outside the shuttle and the Company Comander made his way towards him. " My Lord, there is a settlement about two clicks East of here." He stated.
" Very good commander, now wait here until you hear from me." Sidious ordered as he made his way East.
Having a translator in his ear the Emporer found that the dialect was a bit different than what he was use to, but nonetheless he was able to pull it off before he arrived at the settlement, or rather a city to be more precise.
The first thing he noticed before anything else was the large wall that was built around it. Upon arriving he learned that he was in a place called Konohagakure, or the village hidden in the leaves. To him it seemed weird because of the fact that the city or village now wasn't that well hidden.
As he walked through the streets he was surprised to see that there was hardly any technology around except for some bare minimum. ' It seems that there more primitive than I first thought.' Sidious thought as he continued onward.
There seemed to be a festival of sorts and the people were being merry. From what he gathered it was a festival that celebrated the sacrifice of one of their leaders that had fought a terrible beast.
Moving around some more he eventually heard a faint sound. It was quiet at first before it became more clear. It was screaming, but with the sound of the festival going on it was easy to miss it. Deciding to see for himself what was going on, he made his way in the direction they were coming from.
Walking down the streets he noticed how different the areas were becoming and figured he was walking into the poorer section of the village. Although he was caught off guard when he turned a corner and noticed a building on fire and a bunch of drunks cheering. He then heard the screaming again, but it was still further away so he left the area where the drunks were celebrating.
Eventually he turned onto a street and he was able to see a crowd in one of the alleyways and the apparent source of the screaming. He couldn't quite see what was going on, but apparently he was noticed.
" Hey...your new...how about helping us with some...needed justice?" The man, obviously drunk, asked.
Sidious was a bit confused in what he meant, but then he sensed something coming from the alley. " And just what type of justice are you claiming?" He asked.
The drunken man just chuckled, " Why sweet, sweet revenge...for those that...were killed six...years ago." The man then turned and faced the others. " Hey guys move over...and let the new guy...have some fun!"
The men began to move away so that Sidious could get a closer look at what these men were claiming their 'justice' on. What he saw did surprise him much more than he thought.
Before him was a small boy that was probably around six years old. He had blonde spiky hair, and whisker like marks on his face. His clothes were cut and he was bleeding pretty badly, but for some reason his wounds seemed to be healing themselves a little faster than normal.
It was then that Sidious felt an overwhelming hatred radiating from the boy. Not only that but the air around him was menacing and held hints of destructive power behind it. This was something of the Dark Side and it was coming from the boy.
Sidious let out a dark and terrible snicker. This boy that was currently laying before him was being influenced by the Dark Side it seemed, and this made Sidious excited. He hadn't thought of obtaining a new apprentice so soon, but he couldn't let this oppertunity go by.
" Hey, why are you snickering?" One of the more sober men asked.
" I think he's happy...as we...are to...beat the demon." The man from before laughed getting the others to as well. Sidious though just stood there paying them no mind.
" In all my years I have never sensed such dark power from anyone, especially at such a young age." Sidious began. " He will make a fine apprentice."
The crowd behind him was beginning to feel antsy as they wanted to know what he was doing. " Hey, why aren't you beating him? Don't tell us your a-" one of the men asked before sudden pressure around his neck began to make him choke. All of the others around him soon felt the same pressure causing them to choke.
" You are all a bunch of fools! To think that you people were beating this child because of his dark power." Sidious started as he went and picked up the child before turning towards the crowd. " but I suppose I must thank you because now he can go down the path of the Dark Side much easier."
As he made his way out of the alleyway Lord Sidious ensured that these fools would never speak of what had happened here. Each one of them had been choked to death by him through the force, and then tossed away into the darken alley.
Sidious observed the boy's condition as he held him in his arms. He was rather short for someone his age and terribly malnurioushed. Of course a trip in the bacta tank and some regular meals would fix those problems.
" To think they've nearly killed someone who could have been essentially one of their strongest warriors one day. Oh well, one man's gain is another's suffering." Sidious chuckled. " I should probably alert Red Commander that I might need to be picked up, especially if your going to keep following me."
Sidious turned around and was faced with five masked men, who he could tell by using the force that they were very different from the fools in alley. " It'd be best for you if you drop the boy and leave." The one in the middle with the Ox mask warned.
" Now why would I drop an injured child on his head for? Seems like more cruelty on your part than what think of mine." Sidious replied.
" We're warning you leave the boy or you will die!" The Ox masked stated again as each one of them grabbed the hilt of their swords.
" Are you really threatening me with such primitive means?" Sidious asked in a serious tone, as the five masked warriors launched themselves towards him. " So you are."
Sidious quickly pulled out his lightsaber and with a few swings he had dealt with the masked men who foolishly charged at him. " What a shame, you could have been perfect training dummies for my new apprentice here, oh well there's always you."
In front of Sidious was twenty more of them and in the middle was a man who was much older than he was. " So I take it your someone of importance here?" Sidious asked.
" That is none of your concern! You will leave Naruto here in the village or I will personally kill you!" Sarutobi exclaimed. Sidious took note of his apprentice's name, but also how this old man referred to him as such unlike the others.
" And why would leave him here to suffer? It seems that most of the populace here dosen't seem to appreciate him, but rather they seem to despise him." Sidious countered.
Sarutobi was caught off-guard by the statement because he knew that it was true, but... " You will not take him away from his home!" Sarutobi yelled at him.
Sidious had already sent off the emergency signal to Red Company and has been broadcasting the events to them since the first group showed up. So all he had to do was stall until then. " You say that this place is his home, which is true it is. However, I bet that he hates here deep down inside, that I'm sure off." Sidious stated. " If not for the fact that he gets beat up, then perhaps the way he suffers here after all his house was burned down and he looks like a skeleton."
Although it was a long shot if that building was his home or not didn't matter because most of what he said he guaranteed was true. He could see it on the old fool's face to, the face that is plastered with guilt and shame.
" And what exactly do you plan on doing with him? Are you after the Fox?!" Sarutobi demanded. Sidious didn't know what he meant by fox, but he ignored it and noticed the device that was glowing in his left hand, which wasn't seen thanks to Naruto.
Sidious smirked before let out a dark laugh. " This child will become my apprentice, no he will become more than that my legacy! He will lead my Empire after my life has ended and continue to bring terror upon all those that would oppose him!" Sidious answered shocking Sarutobi. " I have sensed his anger, his hatred oh yes he will become one of the greatest Sith Lords the Galaxy has ever seen!"
They didn't understand what he was saying, but that didn't stop them from feeling concerned. Either because the man in front of them was crazy or because he was telling the truth. Sarutobi was hoping on the first one to be true than the latter.
Not knowing what to do Sarutobi decided to deal with issue than and there. He signalled the Anbu around him, who were now preparing to strike Sidious down. " Well then, it looks like this will be dealt with the hard way." Sidious sighed as he used the force to sense the area around him.
" Take him down now!" Sarutobi ordered as the Andu charged foreword.
Sidious just smirked as he heard the familiar sound of a clip being inserted into a gun. " Red Commander you have permission to fire." Sidious stated confusing Sarutobi, it was only until he noticed a glimmer in the treeline behind Sidious.
" All units open fire!" Red Commander yelled before rounds after rounds were fired at the Anbu that were charging towards Sidious.
Most of them dropped dead within the first few seconds of the firefight. Those that lasted longer tried to evade, but they to eventually fell either dead or wounded. As more Anbu fell the closer Red Company advanced towards Sidious and Naruto.
" My Lord we have your shuttle waiting for back at the LZ, I think it's time to return to the fleet." Rec Commander suggested.
" I agree, however that one dosen't seem to get a hint." Sidious said as Sarutobi tried hitting him with his Ennma staff. The only thing that came out of it was being pushed by an invisible force.
" What just happened?" Sarutobi asked out loud.
" That my foolish friend is called the Force. Commander take me back to the shuttle my apprentice is in need of intensive care." Sidious explained.
As they were leaving Sarutobi once again tried to get Naruto back but this time Lord Sidious unleashed his force lightning on him. " You annoying little fly, know your place!" Sidious yelled as he sent Sarutobi flying into the village wall. " Now then let's get off this planet."
Red Company and the Emporer returned to shuttle and made their way back to the fleet. Upon arriving at the Nazaro Sidious handed Naruto off to the medical droids, while he went to discuss with his heads again. All the while Naruto was in for a surprise.
-6 hours later-
Naruto had been having a rather weird dream so far. He was currently in some type of tube with a weird thing made out of metal looking at him the whole time. It was then that he felt a strange shock as the liquid he was in drained away.
He felt weaker than normal at first, but then he was walking with ease and feeling good to. " I haven't felt this good in a while." Naruto said to himself as he stretched. He was in some new clothes that were left by the weird metal thing that took him out of the tube.
At the same time he was enjoying some fresh food that was given to him by a different metal being. " Are you enjoying your stay on my ship so far?" A new voice asked from Natuto's left.
" I'm on a ship? What's that?" Naruto asked.
" Well I can see how well your village truly treated now besides the physical dilemma." Sidious stated.
" Wait I'm no longer in village?" Naruto hesitantly asked. Sidious confirmed it by showing Naruto the window that held his home world in view.
" No Naruto, in fact your not even on your own planet, although to put it simply you are free of that village from now on." Sidious stated.
Naruto was taking it in slowly as he realised what was going on. " So I'm never going to see the Ichiraku's or jiji again?" He asked innocently.
" Well that depends on how quickly you can complete your training." Sidious stated.
" What training?" Naruto asked rather surprised that there was going to be some type of training.
" Why your training in the Dark Side of course, that is why you are here, to become my apprentice." Sidious explained.
" Why me there are a lot of other kids that are better than me." Naruto asked as he lowered his head.
" That may be true but you are gifted with a rather unique power if I do say myself, and for some reason it has drawn the powers of the Dark Side to you, which makes you stronger than all the rest." Sidious explained.
" Who are you and how do you know this?"
" My name is Darth Sidious, and I know about you because I can sense it through the Force."
" The Force?" Naruto asked. Sidious then used the force to make Naruto's fork float in the air towards him.
" Yes the Force, it is something that must explained to, but since you are still young there is plenty of time to get back to it." Sidious explained as he placed it back down where it originally was.
" Are you a Shinobi?"
" No I am a Sith Lord. The only one left at the current moment and I want you to be my apprentice."
" Does being a Sith mean that I will be strong?"
" Yes, one of the strongest in the Galaxy, that I am sure of."
Naruto was thinking it over and Sidious let him already knowing what the outcome would be. As soon as Naruto's head looked back up at him and Sidious got a look at his eyes, he knew what the boy was about to say.
That look was the same look that Darth Maul and Count Dooku had when they were offered the same deal. He would say that Vader was the same but his was rather messy already and he didn't want to mention said person for a while right now.
Naruto with determination had decided his answer. He said without a moments hesitation, " I accept," forever sealing his fate on the path of the Dark Side.
And that's all that I have at the moment. I do apologise if the ending seemed a little rushed but seeing how this chapter was pretty much going to be like this I figured it would be alright.
Now let me clarify real quick as to the different reasons things were said or phrased in this chapter. With Darth Sidious his men still refer to him as the Emporer even though the Galactic Empire had been shattered by the Rebel Alliance. If at anytime I change the way his name is written it is either due to who he is with or if I feel that say his title of 'Lord/Darth' is necessary in text.
When Naruto first sees the medical droids he obviously won't understand what they are so when it was just him I had the text going along with how he viewed them, that is why he calls them weird names.
Another thing I want to mention I will be doing a poll later on concerning Naruto's Sith title. This means you guys can help me decide on what Naruto will eventually be called.
As for the couple that will come later just don't expect a NaruHina fanfic because I see way to many of those these days, and I'm not a hater I just feel that the community needs some variety is all.
Anyways catch you guys next time!
