Prologue: The Prodigy of the Force

The air around the Jedi council room was tense, the youngest Jedi in history to ever be recommended for the trails was currently taking his test to become Jedi Knight. Many were shocked and very disturbed when Aayla Secura put forth the notion that her Padawan Learner was ready to take the trials. Having only trained for six years under her tutelage, the young blonde haired and blue eyed human was merely eleven years of age.

A holographic image of a young boy and a cloaked assailant were in the midst of a duel at the present time. The holographic images of the two were being projected in front of them, plainly visible in the centre of the room.

Aayla watched from her seat, tightly gripping the arm-rest of her seat with a baited breath. Her body racked with anxious energy as she swallowed the lump in her throat.

"Confidence in this boy you have, Master Aayla? Hmm?" Yoda shifted his look from the trail to the woman sitting on the left side of the council chamber. He awaited her response with a curious, yet sympathetic look of empathy.

Aayla breathed a heavy sigh, choosing her next words carefully.

"I have every confidence that he will succeeded", she said diminishing any anxious feelings that were swelling up inside of her.

"Force willing your judgement is sound, Aayla", Mace Windu voiced his hands resting underneath his chin. He narrowed his eyes at the holographic images in front of him as his brown iris' moved quickly analysing the Padawan's skills.

"It is clear that you have trained the boy well, he's is indeed impressive", said Plo Koon as his respirator let out a shrill hiss.

"He is indeed a prodigy of the force, what did you say his Midi-Chlorian count was, 28,000, that's implausible", Ki-Adi-Mundi let out a noise of curiosity, awaiting an answer from his fellow Jedi.

"True information is true", Shaak Ti took her eyes of the battle to address the Master's question. She crossed her right leg over her left in a lady-like manner.

"He was tested when Aayla found him and brought him to Coruscant, the test has been recorded in the medical archives", finished Master Qui-Gon Jinn with a small smile.

"What has the force shown you of the boy's future, Master Yoda?" asked Windu.

Yoda let out a sigh.

"The boy's future is clouded, we cannot be certain", he put his clawed hand on his chin. "The force is strong with him, this we can be sure of, destined for great things this child is", Yoda finished as he watched the duel unfold before him.

On the planet Mustafar, 'The Planet where Jedi go to Die', was truly an awesome sight to behold. The planet's terrain was widely volcanic, however there were a number of places were the rock was thick enough to stand but standing still on one of these rocks would ensure that your footwear would melt. There were abandoned outposts located all across the planet, reminisce of a working-force of miners that skilfully harvested the iron-ore and minerals created by the magma.

The only two, conscious-beings on the planet were locked in a deadly duel. The two figures stood across from each-other both of them standing on the scolding rocks that were acting as a barrier to imminent death below. This rock stretched out for a few kilometres across the surface of the planet and as such myriad glomps of lava rained down on the rare occasion, which could be seen in the odd structures around them. Lava that appeared to have been cooled down at rapid-rate.

The cloak assailant held out his glowed hand to his lower right side. He flicked it forward, whilst simultaneously pushing the activation button on the futuristic sword. The blade hissed to life, the colour of blood-red illuminated the ground beneath him. The figure was dressed in an all-black outfit. He was also armour plated chest guards and forearm protectors. His face was shrouded in darkness, covered by the black hood that hung loosely over his face.

The young boy of eleven stood across from him with a defiant look in his cerulean orbs as the splash of the lava from behind his opponent reflected in the two deep-dark oceans. His long hair hung loosely over his head, spiking up in all manner of random directions, defying the strong wind that blew across the plain as the spikes quickly returned to their original positions. Two golden strands of hair framed his face down to his nasal. He was dressed in a black zipped up jacket, he wore black pants and boots with metal straps on the sides. He sported a silver forearm guard on his right arm that was tied around his long-sleeved high collared robe via two black straps around the bottom and top halves. He had a red sash tied around his waist underneath two belts, one-of-which slightly diagonal to his left hip. He held two lightsabers, one in each of his gloved hands.

The two weapons flashed to life, in his right hand a blue blade appeared and in his left a green blade. He stoically stared at

The dark figure in front of the boy growled menacingly at him as he sharply thrusted his free-hand toward the Padawan. The resulting impact cleared away the rock formations above him, which causing them to melt back down into raging-hot magma.

The magma forced to the ground by gravity fell toward the blonde boy. His upper left end of his lip curled upward as a slight look of concentration appeared on his face.

SLASH! He swung the blades together in one fluid motion as the lava around him flew off in different directions away from him. He gripped both weapons in anticipation of the on-coming attack. The cloak assailant raced toward him as he wildly swung the red saber in a downward direction toward the Padawan who blocked it with and X-shaped block. The resulting force-lock ended in a stalemate as the learner deflected the blade to his lower-side, with the blade stuck in the ground for a small amount of time he jumped onto the man's outstretched arm. He then kicked the warrior in the face, executing a back flip gracefully away from him.

With backward momentum working against him he pushed off the ground with his right leg and in one swift motion cut the blade in the figure's hand in half. The broken sword fell to the ground as the man channelled the force through the palms of his hands. He then avoided another swipe from the learner. He raced backward with a series of back flips away, each time his force-enhanced palms touched the molten-rock beneath them a stream of magma would erupt from the depths of the planet.

An attempt to keep the learner at bay, however the Jedi-in-training continued to pursue him jumping gracefully in between the small eruptions with force enhanced jumps and reflexes. The assailant stopped and skidding across the rock and pulled out a knife from a hidden holster on his left ankle. He threw it at the boy who side-stepped it swiftly, giving the man enough time to sharply unsheathed two blasters that were previously attached to his back. The young boy jumped at him and swung his blades horizontally in an attempt to strike the older man down. He jumped back and fired several rounds, but the boy simply cut the bullets in half with skill far beyond his years. He then charged at his enemy once again.

The man visibly winced, unprepared at the aggressive approach.

SLASH! SLASH! The blonde learner stepped quickly, making swift work of both his blaster as they fell to the ground, singed and unrepairable.

The man hesitated, thinking upon his next move when he felt his side get cut by the Padawan's blades. He appeared behind his enemy both swords outstretched, the man fell to the ground. The blonde turned his head as both his coloured blades deactivated as he placed both in holsters on his right hip, attached to his belt.

The man let out a shallow breath as his back arched and his figure disappeared in a blue light.

Aayla Secura let out a sigh of relief as she allowed for a small prideful smile grace her soft lips.

'I knew you were special', she thought.

"The boy his definitely skilled in your lightsaber-form Master Secura, he's been trained very well", commented Plo Koon.

"But do we allow him the title of Jedi Knight? Such a responsibility to fall upon someone so young", voiced Master Shaak Ti her tone laced with concern.

"We will", said Yoda stamping his cane on the marble floor for good measure.

"Are you certain of this?" asked Windu.

"Of this I am, whilst the boy is clearly skilled enough, he is less than friendly with his companions, of this inner turmoil is the cause, for he is unable to interact with others his age, a small obstacle yet this must be overcome", Yoda hummed in thought.

"Another test?" proposed Windu.

"What is the cause of the boy's inability to interact with others?" asked Mundi.

"The cause is inner turmoil, a fear of letting others inside", explained Secura. "No doubt inflicted as a young child", she looked sadly in front of her.

"Ah yes of course, the boy's past is troubling him, this he must overcome, how I am uncertain", said Yoda as he blinked.

"May I suggest something?" Qui-Gon voiced.

Naruto's red and white ship slowly made its way toward the landing dock. The view of Coruscuant was magnificent from space.

"Home at last", said the young learner.

His astro-droid, R4 T4 beeped happily.

"Enter landing codes now", he ordered as R4 complied. The droid's colour scheme matching the small Jedi Fighter.

"Welcome home Naruto, did you pass?" came a voice from his intercom.

"I believe I did, yes", he then cut the connection before the conversation could continue. Not in any particular mood to interact with the happy-go-lucky personality.

R4 beeped at him rapidly.

"What?" he replied.

R4 whistled at him, which was promptly followed by a sharp beep.

"I am not rude", he switched off R4's communication to his cock-pit as he entered the atmosphere of the planet.

The ship landed on a landing platform outside the Jedi Temple. As it touched down outside on the stone the landing supports ejected from the bottom of the fighter, dropping to the ground. He released the protector shell around him as he deactivated the seat belts around him. He carefully climbed out of his ship, mindful of damaging its inner-workings.

He landed with his back to the temple as R4 ejected himself, he confronted Naruto with a series of angry beeps and whistles, to which he responded with a disrespectful scowl.

"Congratulations", a feminine voice from behind him spoke.

He turned around to see his Master, Aayla Secura with standing nought bout a few metres away from him with a small smile gracing her radiant features.

"Thank you", he said with a bow.

"Naruto", her voice raising a few tones.

"Yes", he replied returning to a vertical base.

She smiled and out stretched her arms to either side.

"Master?" his tone laced with confusion.

"Give me a hug", she said in a happy tone.

"I don't think that, that's necessary", he said stepping back half a pace.

"It is if I deem it so, now give me a hug youngling", he looked down at his boots and sighed.

"You can do it", she said with a light giggle.

"You don't have to be condescending", he said irked.

"The word is amused, you do know how to hug, I taught you the ways of the force, but if you do not know how to hug maybe your training isn't complete", she offered.

He still looked unsure as he stepped forward a number of paces she wrapped her arms around him. His arms remained stiffly at his sides as she squeezed his figure.

"There now, was that so difficult", she smiled pulling back and placing both her hands on his shoulders.

"Did I pass the trail Master?" he asked.

"You did", she answered simply.

"Then I am a Jedi?" he continued for reassurance, however he wasn't granted such a privilege.

"No my young Padawan, you must first overcome the greatest battle of all", she poked him on his chest, above his heart. "You suffered greatly when you were a child Naruto, you must overcome this obstacle if you are to become stronger, if you are to take your place among us", she explained as he clenched his fists.

"Absurd", a faint growl of anger escaped his throat, which didn't go unnoticed by Cecura.

"Absurd maybe, truthful yes, listen to what the force has to tell you, it won't steer you wrong", she said breaking her kneel.

"Trust in something I can't see, hear, touch or smell, hmm", he crossed his arms.

"You still have much to learn young one, perhaps you were not ready to take these tests, but time will tell", she said with a motherly smile.

"Tests?" he inquired about the use of a plural. "There is only one test of skill", he pressed.

"You are correct, however you are a special case child. The council has prepared another test for you to complete", she explained. "You may have passed the test of skill, but your bond with force will be tested with the next", he grunted and turned his head angrily to the side.

"Why must I do this Master? Have I not already passed the test to become a Jedi?" he asked.

"You may have, but as I stated before, all you need do now is overcome the fear and anger within you and you may receive your rank as knight, come, the council wishes to speak with you", he sighed as she turned.

He followed after her, walking behind her as a show of his respect. Walking through the halls of the temple many greeted him with a smile, some kindly offered him a wave, to which he ignored in favour of a stoic stare.

Aayla shook her head, which went unnoticed by her student. They made their way up a flight of stairs and through an arch-way. Ahead of them, the door to the council chambers. Aayla turned and gave Naruto a reassuring look as they entered to room together. The conversation previously underway came to a grinding halt as the council men and women turned their attention to him. Naruto stepped forward in front of Aayla, she stood behind him offering her comforting presence.

"Welcome back Naruto", said Plo Koon smiling behind his respirator.

"Thank you Master", he bowed respectfully.

"Well done my boy, you've indeed the necessary skill-level to be called a Knight however-

"I'm aware sir, there is another trail I am….supposed to complete", he finished gaining a neutral look from Windu who continued.

"Yes….that is correct", he breathed regaining his lost composure. "All you need do is complete a mission", he explained.

"A mission?" he pressed with a raised eyebrow and a curious tone.

"To be specific you will be going on a diplomatic mission", he said in a calm tone.

"A diplomat but Master I-

A simple raise of his hand silenced him.

"The Galactic Republic has been engulfed in turmoil and the taxation of trade routes to the outlying star systems is in dispute. In an attempt to resolve the matter, The Trade Federation as erected a blockade with their battle ships. As a result they have stopped shipping and transportation to the planet of Naboo", he explained resting his head on his hand on his arm-rest.

"It is plainly clear that the congress will reach a deadlock in this matter, to rectify the situation you will accompany Master Qui-Gon and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi", he gestured to his right. Master Qui-Gon sat smiling at him, Oni-Wan stood next to him with his arms folded in front of him.

He narrowed his eyes, studying them silently before returning his gaze to Windu.

"You will accompany them on this mission and you will be required to work cordially with Obi-Wan as equals under Master Qui-Gon, you will obey him like you would Master Cecura", Windu hummed for good measure.

"You will act as diplomats for the Chancellor and resolve this matter is that understood, youngling", Naruto's mouth contorted as he looked back at Qui-Gon and Obi-wan.

He closed his eyes, contemplating his choice of answer.

"I understand", he responded slowly.

Master Yoda nodded and chuckled.

"Do this and elevated you will be, have faith in you we have young Naruto", Yoda smiled at the young learner. Naruto looked neutrally at him.

"Now that, that's settled, Masters we must depart our transport is to arrive shortly", said Qui-Gon in a respectfully tone standing upright.

Obi-Wan removed his hands away from each other following his Master to the centre of the room.

"It's a pleasure to officially make you acquaintance Naruto", said Qui-Gon holding his hand out.

Naruto looked at his hand and then at his face.

He slowly locked grip with the Master and shook it.

"Yes Master Qui-Gon", he let and he gestured to his Padawan.

"This is Obi-Wan, I'm sure you both will be friends in time", Naruto watched as Obi-Wan offered his hand to him with a smile.

"Nice to meet you Naruto, I've heard so many great things about you", he said waiting for his new companion to respond in kind.

"It is nice to meet you….Obi-Wan", Naruto's lips pursed as he firmly shook his fellow learner's hand. Qui-Gon clapped his hands together in celebration.

"Excellent, we will leave together at once, Masters", he bowed and turned to Aayla.

"I will take good care of him", he reassured her.

"Of course, although you do not need to, he can take care of himself", she smiled.

"That he can, very-well come along younglings", said Qui-Gon.

Both Padawans bowed to their Masters and turned to leave. Naruto looked up to Aayla who gave him a small smile and a wink, she then mouthed 'you can do it'. He didn't respond and continued walking. She then retook her seat once the trio had left the chambers.

"Do you believe that this is the best course of action?" asked Aayla. "Sending Naruto off with them as a tag-along, I'm sure you could sense his anger", Aayla hummed in a conjunction of her conclusion.

"We believe it to be yes, it is the will of the force that Naruto play a part in the upcoming events, we can only pray that they resolve his own issues in the process, otherwise he will merely hold himself back", said Windu leaning back in his chair.

Aayla sighed.

"Do not worry", said Yoda. "The boy is in good hands, strong with the force he is", he nodded at her making her smile the tiniest bit as her thoughts drew toward her wayward student.

The three practisers of the force sat on a ship sitting around a circular table. A service droid offered them drinks, to which all three declined. It bowed and left with a restricted walk.

"How long have you been a Padawan Naruto?" asked Ob-Wan.

"I don't know", he answered quickly.

"What about your home-world, where are you from?" he asked.

"I don't know", he said slightly irked.

"Why is Aayla your Master, she's never taken on a student, not to my knowledge anyway?" he asked in a friendly tone.

"I don't know", he voiced in obvious irritation, gripping his biceps with gloved hands.

"Obi-Wan", said Qui-Gon cutting off his next question. "If you were more in-tune with your surroundings you would be able to plainly see Naruto's discomfort, he has also deferred all of your questions, do you not think before you speak?" scolded Qui-Gon.

Obi-Wan hung his head in shame.

"I'm sorry, I'll try to be more aware", Qui-Gon smiled.

"You'll have to forgive him, he's to eager for his own good", Naruto didn't say anything only looking down at his feet.

"Three Jedi?!" the acting Viceroy, Nute Gunray along with his fellow Neimoidians frantically discussed their next act.

"I am not going in there, not with any Jedi let alone three are you insane", spoke the Neimoidian standing beside him.

The other merely shook his head.

A droid pressed the communication button on the console in front of him. A holographic image of a cloaked figure appeared, the only thing visible of his facial features were two ruby-red eyes, in which three tomo were present in a tri-formation. They spun as he looked upon the three Trade Federation members.

"Your scheme has failed my lord", the figure remained still.

"Is that so", he responded after a few moments. "We must merely accelerate our plans, Viceroy, land your troops and begin the assault", he ordered.

"But my lord, is that…legal?" he asked in an uncertain tone.

"I will make it legal, now, do as I say", he hummed as the three Neimodians nodded.

"The three Jedi sir-

"Kill them and leave nothing left", his image disappeared and the Viceroy breathed a sigh of relief.

"It never gets any easier to speak to him, he seems to get more intimidating each conversation", said the Trade Federation member gathering his thoughts.

"Release the sleep-gas, once they are knocked out send in a team of droids to dispose of them", ordered the Viceroy waving his hand in the direction of the droid that set up communications before.

The three Jedi sat in silence until Obi-Wan voiced is opinion.

"Master I sense great fear, even though that we are here to only negotiate trade", he said in a troubled tone.

"You sense correctly youngling, we must exercise caution and work together-as a team", he looked at Naruto with pursed his lips together.

Suddenly the vents leading into the room opened via a remote source. Toxic gas spilled into the room at an alarming rate. The three of them stood to their feet Obi-Wan drawing his lightsaber as it hissed to life.

"Why are you so tense?" asked Qui-Gon.

"What-why do you ask? We are under-attack", he spoke in a hasty tone.

Naruto used the Force Push to avoid the gases around him, Qui-Gon followed the action after him as the door in front of room opened with a shrill squeak.

A number of battle droids cautiously looked around in the smoke for any signs of life.

"Go in, we'll cover you", spoke the yellow-painted commander droid, turning to his troop.

"Rojar, Rojar", spoke one who cocked his gun and stepped forward. He haulted his march when four lightsabers come to life. Stepping back the commander droid pointed forward hastily.

"Blast'em!" he ordered as they began their assault on the trio.

The lasers were skilfully deflected by the force users, deflecting the onslaught directly back toward the huddle of droids. Qui-Gon thrusted his free hand forward pushing two droids on the right back as Obi-Wan and Naruto jumped forward together, cutting down the droids.

"We make a pretty good team", said Obi-Wan.

Naruto merely hummed in agreement as he cut the last droid's metal-head off, it fell to the ground in front of him.

"Let's get moving", said Qui-Gon taking off down the hall.

Naruto and Obi-Wan followed him closely.

"Bah! Those damn Jedi-scum they are like wampies, they just won't die", said Viceroy with a sigh.

"Sir, we are receiving a transmission from Naboo", Viceroy chuckled to himself.

"The Queen, wishes to speak with us again, how lucky must we be", he spoke as he turned as did his companions to the screen in front of them.

A figure dressed in opulent clothing appeared on the screen. She wore a head-dress that framed her face, which was covered in ghost-white make up with a few red markings. Her robes were silk, a testament to her royalty.

"Queen Amidala, do what do we owe the pleasure?" he asked.

He received a cold stare in response.

"It would seem that your blockade of our small planet as failed", she said inwardly smirking to herself.

"I am unaware of such a failure, are you certain that you are not mistaken?" he asked her smugly.

"Do you think me blind and deaf coward, I am aware of the three Jedi ambassadors aboard your ship, you blockade will end soon enough", she assured them.

"I am not sure that I've heard anything on this matter", he shrugged.

"Beware, you overstep your bounds, do not think that there won't be repercussions", she assured them as her picture disappeared.

The Viceroy let out a tired sigh.

"Sir! The Jedi have defeated the battalion that you sent to collect them, it would appear that they were unaffected by the gas", said a droid monitoring them from the control panel.

"Close the blaster doors!" he ordered as a second reinforced door closed behind the outer one.

"That should hold them!" he said with confidence. "I want droidekas down here at once!" he ordered as he and his companions stomped about the control room anxiously.

The trio cut down more doors in the following hallway. Obi-Wan used a Force Push to launch a number of droids away. Naruto extended his blue sword, four droids floated in mid-air. He then sharply swung his blade to the side aggressively slamming them against the wall.

Qui-Gon turned to the large doors behind him and stabbed in the metal, trying to open it from the outside.

Obi-Wan cut down another droid, smiling to himself. He didn't notice that he had yet to fully disable a droid lying with its leg cut off on the floor. It shot at him, he turned around to see the blaster mere centimetres from his face. The momentum of the red blast stopped mid shot. The droid let out a confused noise as it flew back at the metal droid destroying it.

"Thank you Naruto, you saved me", he voiced his gratitude.

"It isn't over", said Naruto as two destroyer droids rolled toward them.

Qui-Gon continued to work on opening the doors with his green-coloured lightsaber, ignoring the loud scrapping metal noises from behind him.

The droids stopped simultaneously their blasters protruding from their hands as their blue shields activated. They began shooting at the two Padawan's, both of them having to using forced enhanced reflexes to deflect the red blasts.

"We can get close enough", said Naruto with a grunt.

"Right, follow me", said Qui-Gon taking off to the left.

The Padawan's following after him.

"Aha!" the Viceroy exclaimed in victory. "They are no match for them", he reasoned.

"Sir the Jedi….they've gotten into the ventilation system", said a droid.

The Viceroy's look changed to one of frustration.

"Find them!" he shouted angrily.

The trio dropped down into the main hanger of the ship. The immobilisation of droids was in full-force as they stood deactivated in battle formation.

"This is a bold move and unlike the Trade Federation", observed Qui-Gon.

"It is unorthodox", said Naruto his iris' moving around rapidly analysing the formations.

"We must warn the Naboo, each of us will stow away on different ships and regroup on the planet", said Qui-Gon instructing the learners.

"You were right Master", said Obi-Wan.

Qui-Gon hummed confusedly.

"Negotiations were short", he chuckled softly making his teacher and Naruto sigh.
