Mistaken Identity

A Request For Help

All right! Time for some Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Exclaimed a voice. That voice came from Naruto Uzumaki, who was in the Third Training Ground. Jay was present on those ground; helping Naruto train. Jay, without his tunic, lightsabers, belt and gauntlet, was in the center, surrounded by a number of Naruto's Shadow Clones. In attendance, under the shad of the trees, was Mollbry, Britt, Alex and Keeve. Alex, Britt & Keeve returned from a mission from Master Obi Wan Kenobi, which ended in a victory.

Jay, still in the center, stood in a readied position for hand-to-hand combat. As he stood, he looked around him and saw he was outnumbered. But, Jay remembered his training. Under both his master's training, like all Jedi, Jay was trained in hand-to-hand combat. Then, after Qui Gon's training, he upgraded his hand-to-hand combat training. Now, he will put what he learned to the test when in a sparring session with Naruto.

Jay closed his eyes and took a deep breath. As he inhaled, he let the Force flow through him and cleared his mind; focusing on the here and now where they belonged. Opening his eyes, Jay faced all of Naruto's Shadow Clones. "Have at thee, Naruto!" Jay yelled, ready to fight. "Let's go, Jedi Jay!" Naruto and his clones replied in unison. Yelling together as they charged at Lyon, Jay went on the offensive. One by one, Jay defeated a few of Naruto's clones, which they disappeared in a cloud of smoke. A few of Naruto's clones came on, which Jay blocked, dodged and parried all of their attacks. Running to flank Naruto, the clones charged again only to throw kunai at Jay. Jay dodged a few of them and extending both of his arms out and stopped four with the Force, only to threw them back. Three of them hit a tree and one hit the ground. "Here I come, Kid!" Jay said, running towards Naruto and his clones. Leaping in the air, Jay, using the Force, slammed his arm to the ground; sending a group of Naruto's Shadow clones back. Rising to his feet, Jay faced Naruto and five of his shadow clones. "You asked for it." Naruto said to Jay "Here's a another serving of Shadow Clone Jutsu.". Performing his jutsu, and with a cloud of smoke, four of Naruto's Shadow Clones appeared at charged at Jay.

Jay smirked at charged at the clones. Again, Jay blocked, dodged and parried all of Naruto and his clones' attacks. But, Naruto has another ace up his sleeve. Out of nowhere, one of Naruto's clones punched Jay across the face and another kicked Jay on the back. Jay countered and pushed Naruto away with the Force, only to be another Shadow Clone. Then, the real Naruto appeared and engaged Jay in hand-to-hand combat. However, Naruto's efforts pushed Jay back and nearly sent him to his knees. Blocking Naruto's attack, Jay turned to a down tree limb and, using the Force, called it to him and Naruto. Seeing the limb flying to them, Naruto jumped and Jay moved out of the way just in time. Rising to his feet one more time, while breathing heavily, Jay faced Naruto, who was breathing heavily. "That..." Naruto panted "Wasn't bad.". "I'll agree..." Jay replied "to that, kid." Knowing the session isn't over, Naruto charged at Jay. In response, Jay counter charged at Naruto. Both men yelled at raised their fists as the ran closer and closer to each other. Once they were close, they threw their punches, which landed directly on their faces.

Both men were frozen in place as their fists were locked on their faces. Exhausted, and unable to continue, both men collapsed to ground, landing on their backs. Then, Mollbry, Alex, Keeve and Britt rose their feet and ran over to Jay and Naruto. Second later, Both Jay and Naruto were sitting up against a tree, under the shade of the trees. Alex got to work healing the minor injuries. Mollbry was by Jay's side, giving him water to drink and cool off. "That was some intense training out there, Jay." Mollbry said with a smirk. "I wouldn't call it 'training' Mollbry." Keeve retorted "All they did was to beat each other up, y'know.". "Of course we were." Naruto answered "Guys always do that when we get together.". "Some guys." Jay retorted "Not all of them.".

Naruto laughed. Then, Alex finished healing the minor injuries done by both Jay and Naruto during their training session and stood up. Listening to both Jay and Naruto laugh and talk reminded her of Fives, Echo and the rest of Domino Squad. Yes, Alex and Keeve were on the ill-fated mission to the Citadel. There, Alex, Keeve and the rest of the Rescue Team watched both Echo and a female ARC Trooper named Jiyu sacrificed themselves to save their comrades from capture or worse, death. Only Jiyu was found when reinforcements, led by both Jedi Master Saesee Tiin and Plo Koon arrived to rescue the team. Echo was lost and presumed dead. Miraculously, Echo survived the explosion and found himself captured by the Separatists. Just then, Naruto's stomach growled. "Ramen time?" Jay asked Naruto. "You bet." Naruto grinned. "Great. Let's go."
