Chapter 3 The Duel

Ghost

Life with the Spectres was something as Naruto pulled his weight around the ship, he helped Hera with ship repairs, he gave Kanan some tips on training Ezra, Zeb was the last of his kind from what Naruto heard, Ezra was something as he sometimes complains but a good kid and he got along with Sabine really well as Naruto taught her more fighting styles that his aunt taught him and Sabine sometimes flirt and tease him as she likes to grind her ass against his crotch making him lower his defense and she pushed him down the ground as she straddles him with her hands on his chest but this made Hera walking in on them and saw this with a sly smirk on her face and she not once let the teasing stop.

Right now Naruto was meditating as Kanan was training Ezra on top of the ship but the thing is the ship is in the sky. Naruto was trying to make a new style of lightsaber form with the mixture of Grandmaster Yoda's form with his godfather's and father's form added it. Naruto was deep in his meditation until it was he was rocked forward as he hit the wall.

"What the hell?" Naruto said as he got up as the ship was leveled.

He felt the ship landed and he walked outside and saw Ezra on the ground and he saw Kanan jumping of the Ghost and landed in front of Ezra.

"You lost focus," Kanan stated

"How can I focus on that type of distraction?" Ezra complains to his master.

They all walked in as Hera, Ezra and Kanan sat down as Naruto leaning against the wall as Sabine came in and sat down on the crate as she wants to know on what's going on as Zeb just turn on the holo-news.

"Training Ezra isn't easy since he needs an actual master to train him and with me training him it's a slim chance that he even can become a Jedi," Kanan explained to the others.

Naruto was about to say something then a holo-image of Luminara Unduli as she was wearing an orange prison jumpsuit being escorted by four Imperial Stormtroopers as she was being held in the Spire, also known as the Stygian Prison on the planet Stygeon Prime which Kanan turn off the Holo-News. While Kanan was talking about rescuing Luminara and have her being Ezra student and this made Naruto frown at this as to why the Empire keep a Jedi alive as they are the 'enemies' to the Empire thanks to the Emperor making the Jedi the enemy even though Naruto didn't like it when Mace tries to overthrow the Chancellor.

"That's great and all but how do we get in as that place is heavily guarded," Zeb stated.

"We use the Phantom and sneak in a back way and Hera will hide from and Imperial patrols," Kanan explained the plan.

"Then we'll leave right now," Hera said.

She got up and went towards the Phantom with Kanan and Ezra following her and Naruto decided to go with them as the force was telling him to go so he decided to follow them but was stopped by Sabine.

"Naruto are you going with them?" Sabine asks him.

"Yes, as the force is telling me to go with them," Naruto replied with a smile. "Don't worry I'll be back."

Naruto then left and enter the Phantom which surprises the other three as they watch Naruto sitting down across both Kanan and Ezra.

"You're coming with us?" Hera asked the blonde.

"Yes, I am as you might need some help just in case," Naruto said.

Hera nodded her head and plotted a course to Stygeon Prime and jumped into Hyperspace toward their planet. The trip took 30 minutes and they arrive at their location as Hera took an area where patrols are fewer thanks to rock pillars and made it as they found a back door with a small walkway as Naruto, Kanan and Ezra jumped off as Hera took off and to for a hiding spot.

Naruto opens the door by hacking it thanks to his aunt and the trio snuck in the prison as Naruto hacked into the computer on where Luminara Unduli cell is. The three made it as Naruto opens the cell and they saw Luminara sitting there as they enter but Naruto knew something was wrong as she didn't even look up and notice them entering and this made Naruto frown as he didn't sense the force coming off her but he DID sense someone with the dark side coming toward them as he already has his hand on his lightsaber.

"Master Luminara! We're here to rescue you." Kanan stated.

She didn't say anything which made both Kanan and Ezra confuse at this as they saw Luminara getting up and walking toward the wall and saw here merging with it and they saw a mummified Luminara in the wall.

"It's a trap!" Kanan stated.

"Right you are." A male voice said.

"So you finally showed yourself Grand Inquisitor," Naruto said as he faced the Pau'an at the door.

"So you know who I am Jedi? There aren't that many that know me." He said wondering how this Jedi knew of him.

"You learn a lot from drunken Imperial Officers," Naruto commented with a joke.

"I see, then you know that you three won't be leaving this place alive." The Grand Inquisitor said as he activated his dual bladed red lightsaber.

Naruto activated his lightsaber and got into Soresu and spoke. "I don't think so."

"Soresu? Well, I know of one Jedi who's best at that? Tell me is Obi-Wan your master?" Grand Inquisitor asked the boy.

"Why don't you fight me and find out," Naruto replied as he looked at both Kanan and Ezra. "Kanan get Ezra out of here."

"What?! But Naruto you need my help?" Kanan said as he was surprised at this.

"Kanan as of right now you're no match for him. You're were still a Padawan during Order 66 and I'm the only one that can face him," Naruto stated.

Naruto blocks one of the Grand Inquisitor attacks and held firm and push the Grand Inquisitor as Kanan and Ezra ran out the door.

[Duel of Fates] (Don't own this song)

The Grand Inquisitor slashes downward at Naruto as Naruto blocks and counter and went into Ataru and went on the attack as this surprise the Grand Inquisitor at this as he blocks the attack which he was surprised with as the Jedi switch to Makashi and then to Shii-Cho.

'This Jedi had more than one master to train him?' the Grand Inquisitor thought.

Their fight was lead out to the open where more cell blocks which the inmates heard the sounds of clashing lightsabers and they all looked out and saw them fighting as they saw the green lightsaber that Naruto wield and they started to cheer Naruto on as they know as the Jedi were still alive and there was still hope out there.

Meanwhile, both Ezra and Kanan were running through the halls of the prison as their escape route was blocked thanks to some Stormtroopers blocking the door they came in.

"Hera meets us at the front hanger," Kanan said through his wrist com.

"What happens, Kanan?" Hera asked him.

"We ran into some trouble," Kanan replied back. "And Naruto stay behind and fighting the Grand Inquisitor."

"WHAT?!" Hera shouted through the radio.

[2:39 best part of Duel of the Fates]

The battle between Naruto and the Grand Inquisitor intensified as their duel manage to free all the prisoners and they overran the Stormtroopers and stormed the armory. Red Blaster bolts were flying everywhere as the two were unfazed by the fire as their duel raged all the way towards the main hanger.

The Grand Inquisitor had active use of another blade as Naruto block an attack from behind his head and in front as well in fast reaction time from the Grand Inquisitor. Both clash their lightsabers as the Stormtroopers and escape prisoners were fighting each other and both Kanan and Ezra manage to make it but saw the big battle happening and saw both Naruto and the Grand Inquisitor were battling each other.

"Whoa," Ezra said as he was watching the battle between the two.

Kanan just watches the battle in awe and saw how powerful Naruto is for his age but his thoughts were broken when he saw the Phantom coming as the back door just open.

"Naruto we need to go now," Kanan yelled out to the blonde.

Naruto heard Kanan's voice and he pushes the Grand Inquisitor back. "Well I had fun and all but I need to go."

Naruto uses a Force Push and pushes the Grand Inquisitor back into some crates as he ran toward the Phantom as both Kanan and Ezra were already on board.

[Song End]

Naruto jumped in as the back door closed and Hera punch the Phantom at full speed but Naruto notices some shuttles leaving as well as he knew that the prisoners were escaping as well.

"Well, what happened back there? Did you find Luminara?" Hera asks them.

"No, it was a trap to lure any Jedi that survives Order 66 as Master Luminara was already dead," Kanan explained to her as he looked at Ezra. "It looks like the kid is stuck with me for a while."

Hera frown at this as she jumped the Phantom by toward the Ghost as Naruto just sighs at this as he already knows that he has a huge target on his back now if the Grand Inquisitor informs Darth Vader about this as his battles will be a lot tougher now in the future.
