What happens now in CreepyDays now that Xanatos is dead? Does the person who sold out ObiWan get discovered? Love your writing!
Leaning
forward, Mace raised his brows at the two men standing in front of
him as he took them in.
Master
Vos looked his usual self, a bit on the angry side, his arms crossed
over his chest with his nails digging into his arms, potentially
close to drawing blood and his lips a thin, pale stripe where they
were pressed together.
Knight
Skywalker however… he looked lost, he looked like someone had drawn
the carpet out from under his feet and he had hit his back head on
the marble floor hard enough to give himself a concussion only for
his opponent to literally take a shit on his chest afterward. Pale to
the point of sickly even
in the orange sun shining in through their windows,
eyes glazed and distant and his hands hanging limply down by his
sides.
This
did not bode well and Mace wished he wasn’t on antibiotic at that
moment because he could feel that he would need a stiff drink after
the meeting. “You’ve managed to trace the comm calls of Du
Crion?” He questioned calmly, each council member focused on the
two though Shaak’s holo flickered in and out a bit, indicating the
storm on Kamino was particularly strong at the moment.
Skywalker
jumped a bit, looking up and blinking with his blue eyes turning
wide.
Then
he turned green and Mace hoped to Force the other wouldn’t throw
up.
Vos
however growled deeply, baring his teeth before nodding sharply. “It
took several all nighters but yes, we managed to follow the trail and
actually decode one of the encrypted holo messages.” He paused
there and Mace wanted to wince as the man gritted his teeth.
Depa
outright covered up her ears at the horrible noise and Plo tapped his
claws on his chair, leaning back.
“Know
the person we do,” Yoda stated, looking between the two Jedi in
front of them. “Someone trusted it is?”
Vos
opened his mouth but Skywalker beat him to it. “The Chancellor,”
He whispered, sounding more like a frightened and lost youngling than
the knight he had become. “It was the Chancellor who sold out
Obi-Wan, knew where he’d be and told Du Crion…” He got out, legs trembling.
Breathing
harshly through his nose, Vos nodded sharply. “And not only that
but their messages also confirms that Sheev Palpatine is working with
the CIS, Du Crion was opening up Telos factories for him to create
more droids for them.” He snapped out.
Mace
felt like he had sunk into an alternative universe, suddenly being
desperately grateful that Obi-Wan was on Serenno in the safety of
Count Dooku and far away from Coruscant and more importantly, the
Chancellor.
Leaning
forward, Depa looked between them. “I hate to ask this but the
accusation is sever, please tell me you have proof.” She said
darkly.
Nodding
once more, Vos dropped his arms to reach into his belt, pulling out a
portable driver. “Got it here, all messages and holo messages
between them that we could manage to find and decrypt. I
also have copies on several other stations in case it gets lost when
we deliver it to the Senate.” The man said bitterly.
Vos
was angry but Mace could understand that.
Skywalker
however just looked sick now, the man loved Obi-Wan as a brother and
to know that a person he trusted had sold him out to his stalker, to
be raped… it was clearly hitting the man hard.
“Knight
Skywalker,” He murmured, watching as the knight jerked to and
clearly tensed up in defense. “Obi-Wan could use some company up
there on Serenno and I’m sure that the 501st
and the 212th
would be more than happy to guard the airspace around it.” He
murmured quietly, making it seem like he was sending the young knight
to defend Obi-Wan should something go wrong.
In
truth Mace could see how shaken the young man was and knew he would
need time.
Shoulders
dropping in surprise, the blond blinked at him before nodding slowly.
“I-I guess so and familiar people would be good for Obi-Wan.” He
agreed in a quiet, almost meek tone.
He
didn’t like it, Skywalker wasn’t suppose to be meek. He was
suppose to be fire, defiance and energy.
None
of the other council members called Mace out on his little ploy
though and he found relief in that even as they looked at each other.
They
would need to deal with the Chancellor now but in the middle of a war
it was sure to bring turmoil.
Then
there was the fact that he was working with
the CIS.
The
highest position of power in the Republic was a traitor.
Force
help them all.
