Lovely Moddy, who is the best, I saw the reblog you had recently – «The Imperial bioweapons Project I71A, known as the Sickness,» – and I’m thinking Zombies? How would the vode and the jedi react to zombies? Are they harder to take out than droids? Or easier? Is this something you’d write?
The very air felt
wrong around them, something almost oily in the air coating Obi-Wan’s
tongue.
Or so it felt like
at least though it appeared only the Jedi were noticing even if the
clones too were alert and wary.
But that came from
the empty buildings and the unnatural silence surrounding them.
When a Republic
outpost had gone dark, the council had sent the closest Jedi to its
position to investigate what had happened and if it was an attack by
the Separatists.
Those Jedi happened
to be Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka.
But now Obi-Wan
wished that they had someone else with them, someone more experienced
with the living Force because…
Something wasn’t
right here.
Dread was coiling
along his spine even as troopers were carefully opening the doors of
the closest buildings and investigating. Anakin moved to Obi-Wan’s
side, eyeing the area too with the same wary suspicion Obi-Wan was
feeling though he was hiding it better.
Anakin did wear his
emotions on his sleeves most of the time.
“Where is
everyone?” Anakin questioned quietly.
Shaking his head,
Obi-Wan pursed his lips. “I don’t know. There’s no evidence of
a battle and yet everyone is gone… there’s suppose to be well
over a thousand citizens living here along with the troopers
stationed to the outpost.” He murmured, narrowing his eyes faintly,
the hairs on the back of his neck rising. “Something isn’t
right.”
They were quiet for
a moment, the unnatural silence pervading everything else before
Anakin swallowed loudly. “I feel like I’m going to throw up.”
He whispered.
Nodding a bit,
Obi-Wan was about to respond when Ahsoka called out. “Master’s
I’ve found something!”
Trading glances,
the two hurried to where the togruta was, finding her kneeling down
by what looked like a box in the square of the village.
There was blood
around it, as if someone had coughed it up and no the gray metal box
the Separatists logo was painted in black.
Well, that
confirmed that the Separatists had been there at least but where
was everyone now?
Kneeling down
beside her, Obi-Wan carefully investigated the box. “Plushed
inside… indents in the shape of-” He cut off and sat back sharply
on his heel, staring at the box before looking sharply up at Anakin.
“Tell everyone not to remove their helmets and get ours.” He
snapped.
“Obi-Wan?”
Anakin questioned even as he brought up his comms.
“They released a
bioweapon.” Obi-Wan growled, reaching to Ahsoka and pulling her
breathing apparatus out of her belt, firmly forcing her to put it on
first before taking his own until the helmets could be worn.
Paling, Anakin
nodded in reply, trying not to breath in too hard
All three wondered
what kind of weapon had been unleashed on the village. And if they
were now infected.
However before the
troopers could arrive with helmets for them, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka
caught sight of blue male chagrian hobbling towards them, making the
worst wheezing noises Obi-Wan had ever heard. And he knew what was
wrong, what the Separatists had done even as he seized Ahsoka by the
arm before she could go to help.
There would be no
help for this chagrian, for anyone who was there when the weapon was
loose. ‘Great Force… they raised the dead.’ He thought to
himself as he pulled both Ahsoka and Anakin away as the blond too now
caught sight of the civilian hobbling towards them.
Anakin however did
not try to approach, was staring at the chagrian with wide, horrid
eyes as he took what had once been a living person stepped into the
sun, showing rotting flesh all over and exposed rib bones where his
clothes were torn.
The undead walked
on this planet.
