So, Feral child, Kamino is all good and all but how is our favorite feral child going to get his army around?
There
was a thick sense of anticipation in the air that had the kaminoan’s
tense and the vod excited and everyone could tell it had to do with
Obi-Wan Kenobi, the one
and only
Darth Carrion as the man skulked around the facilities, his eyes
glittering.
No
one could get out of him what was going on.
Not
his former master, not the Sith council members, not Cody, not even
his little monster as he was so affectionately named, Rex always at
Anakin’s side.
No,
no one could get out of Obi-Wan what was up though when it happened,
everyone could literally see what was going on.
It
started with Cody tracking his General down as he had slipped away
during training, Cody finding the man outside of all things as the
weather cleared up for the first time in several days, the man
standing out on the platform with his eyes on the cloudless sky.
Finding
his way to the others side, Cody pulled his helmet off to give the
man a curious look. Oh he knew Obi-Wan could fully feel his emotions
and all that but Cody had noticed that the other looked more pleased
when he could see faces of people around him and it was safe, so Cody
removed his helmet. “General, is something wrong?” He murmured.
Obi-Wan’s
lips quirked into a smirk at that, glancing at Cody, approval in his
gaze when he saw the others face. “No, nothing wrong. I’m just
waiting for a delivery.” He murmured, turning his head while he was
talking so he was facing Cody.
Frowning
faintly, Cody opened his mouth only to shut it firmly when they both
heard a noise, both of their heads snapping around to look up at the
sky once more. And high above them on the blue sky, a black ship
appeared, Cody’s eyes widening.
For
it to be this big from the planet surface and to be able to hear it
like they were…
It
meant the ship was bigger than anything he had ever seen on screen
before, bigger than the Venetori death star blueprints he had seen.
What
the kark was that!?
Staring
at the giant space ship in the sky above them, Cody couldn’t help
but shiver as he heard Obi-Wan chuckle. “What is that?”
He whispered finally,
hearing the door behind him open but unable to turn and look at who
had arrived.
“That,”
Obi-Wan murmured, his voice the sound of satisfaction, of the lothcat
who got both the pigeon and the cream. “Is the Eclipse-class super
destroyer Morti,
specially designed for me by someone who owes me a favor, put
together in record speed and paid for out of my own funds,” He
murmured before turning. “And your new stationing dear Commander
Cody.”
Blinking,
snapping his eyes to his General, Cody took in the satisfied face of
the man in front of him, his chest throbbing with how hard his heart
was going, his
mind analyzing the ships name, half remembering it literally meant
Death.
This was his stationing?
This
was the ship he was suppose to lead?
Did
he have a big enough battalion for this?
No,
no way, he hadn’t picked that many.
No
he would clearly need to bring more vode than his own battalion and
Cody felt his nerves spasm.
And
yet at the same time…
His
eyes slid back to the giant, almost black ship hovering lazily over
Kamino, giant even from the ground.
It
would be massive up close.
And
it was his
to command, his and his General.
The
General who trusted him and had already started delegating tasks to
him, showing him confidential information, the man ready to trust him
with the result of what must be massive amounts of funds, the
man who called him Marshal
commander, giving Cody the highest highest rank of any of his vode.
Excitement
bubbled in Cody’s chest as much as fear and uncertainty.
Snapping
his heels together and saluting his General, Cody felt the stirrings
of anticipation rising
along
with blood
lust fulling him as his General
continued
grinning
at
him, fangs
flashing in the rare sun of Kamino.
“The 212th
are ready to serve General!” He snapped out before turning, moving
sharply through the few
Sith and gathered vode that had come to see the large ship hanging
over them.
He’d
find those that would serve with the 212th
on
Morti,
he would get everything ready.
He’d
be the best karking commander ever and that was a promise to any
goddesses listening to him.
