The Jedi Starfighter slipped through hyperspace like a ghost between stars. Revan sat in quiet meditation, eyes closed, while Naruto, wide-eyed and speechless, stared out the viewport at the swirling blue of hyperspace.
"Is this the Force, too?" Naruto asked after a long pause.
Revan opened his eyes, turning his head slightly. "No. This is science — hyperspace travel. But the Force? It's everywhere, even here. It surrounds us. Binds us. You'll feel it soon."
Suddenly, the ship shuddered. Lights flickered. The stars distorted in a swirl of violet and black. Revan's eyes narrowed as he reached for the controls.
"Hold on to something. Now."
A singularity had formed ahead — a black hole that had not been charted.
"That's no gravitational anomaly," Revan whispered. "It's a rift."
The ship spiraled uncontrollably into the vortex.
Naruto screamed as the cabin twisted around them. Revan gritted his teeth, focusing every ounce of the Force into shielding them. The universe went white.
Then — silence.
When they emerged, Revan's console blinked erratically. Star charts were misaligned. Galactic positioning systems failed to sync. He recalibrated manually.
"This doesn't make any sense," he muttered. "All coordinates are wrong. Maps are outdated..."
Naruto blinked. "Are we lost?"
"Something more than that," Revan said, frowning. "This feels... wrong. We need answers."
He glanced at the Dantooine system readout. It was nearby, familiar, and stable.
"We'll go to Dantooine first," he decided. "Then to Coruscant. If anyone can help us figure out what's happened, it's the Jedi Council at the Grand Temple."
The serene green world of Dantooine stretched below them — seemingly unchanged. Rolling grasslands, shimmering lakes, and the distant outlines of ancient stone ruins greeted them. The Jedi Enclave, once a proud monument of the Order's presence, now lay crumbled and overgrown. Nature had reclaimed the site.
Naruto leaned closer to the cockpit window. "It's… peaceful."
"Yes," Revan said, his voice tinged with confusion. "But something's not right."
They landed just outside the ruins. Revan stepped out into the windblown grass and approached the broken pillars and cracked stone arches. There were no Jedi. No lights. Only ghosts.
He paced slowly through the ruins, his eyes scanning the environment. Rubble. Wildflowers. Moss-covered holocrons buried under centuries of soil.
"This can't be," he murmured. "The Enclave… it's abandoned. Ancient. But that's impossible. I was just here..."
Naruto stood beside him, quiet for once. Even the boy could feel it — the weight of silence.
Revan activated a cracked terminal with a surge of the Force. A flickering projection appeared — degraded and fractured.

Revan's heart froze. That was over a thousand years ago.
"We didn't just travel across space," he whispered. "We traveled through time."
Naruto's eyes widened. "You mean… we're in the future?"
Revan nodded slowly, trying to steady his breath. "Yes. And we're thousands of years out of place."
That night, Revan sat atop one of the ruined towers, staring at the stars.
"Everything's gone," he said aloud. "Everyone I knew. My masters. My friends. The Order as I knew it."
Naruto climbed up beside him. "But I'm still here."
Revan looked at him, then smiled faintly. "Yeah. You are. And I made you a promise. That hasn't changed."
Naruto grinned. "Then we'll fix this. Together."
Revan's gaze turned toward the galactic core. "Coruscant. If the Jedi still exist, they'll be there. We find them, we learn what happened, and we find our new path."
Naruto nodded. "Let's go."
Revan whispered, "To the Jedi Grand Temple."
