Ourcollar: I feel like the Jedi all rolling their Force power and concentration into one point is kinda a bad idea? I hope not but I kinda have a feeling it will.
Have
you ever gone swimming and been overwhelmed by a wave?
Just
been swimming outwards or even standing in the water to your chest
and suddenly a wave crashes into you that brings you tumbling about
in the water, disorienting you and shocking you awake at the same
time as
it closes around you?
That
was the best way to explain what happened with the Force as the Jedi
used Cody as the
catalyst for deactivating each and every biochip in the troopers all
over the galaxy, the wave of the Force rising and cresting out from
Coruscant to do what the meditating temple asked of it.
And
that was honestly suppose to be it.
Only
the council, who were directing the flow of the Force, noticed
something else in the immense ocean of the Force with
the power of so many Jedi and so much light shining out.
Darkness
that was
suddenly exposed by the massive amount of light,
spread like oil in water over
Coruscant with cold lines even hooked into the temple somehow,
the
dark side of the Force
taking over, gathering and breaking out into a malevolent storm
instead of the placid if overwhelming wave it had been when the Jedi
were just wanting to ensure the clones free will.
It
wasn’t even a conscious
decision.
It
was just the Force gathered in such strength when they turned their
attention on that darkness and suddenly it all just exploded outward
with
so much power on one singular point.
Unknown
to them, as
a certain Sith grasped at his chest and fell tho the floor of his
office,
each council member gave a cry as blood burst from their nose and
ears
thanks to the massive Force eruption.
Cody however got an eyeful of all of it, the clone trooper rising in
worry to catch his own general as each of the Jedi in the chamber
fell to the floor, curling in on themselves as
they quickly lost consciousness.
“Oh
kark, oh kark!” Cody hissed, Obi-Wan tucked to his chest as the
redhead struggled for consciousness and he was not the only one.
“Kark what happened!” He snapped out while wiping at his own lip
where blood had started oozing minutes before.
Cody
desperately reached for Obi-Wan’s comm and called General
Skywalker, hearing a sluggish voice that turned alarmed when the
commander explained why he was the one calling.
“Alright,
alright stay with them Commander, I’… e chu ta! I’m bringing
healers and sentinels!” Anakin hung up without waiting on a
response, leaving Cody with a room of passed out and bleeding Jedi
and his lover tucked up against Cody’s chest.
Dropping
his eyes to the others face, Cody ran a finger along a bare and cold cheek.
“Kark love, what have you done now?” He whispered worriedly.
“Fool ner jet’ika, if you put yourself in danger…’ Cody
trailed off before sighing and just burying his face in the others
long hair, hands trembling in helplessness.
This
was one of the things he hated with the Force.
His
own inability to use and understand.
It
would have been such a weapon but more than that, it would allow him
to understand Obi-Wan so much more, would allow him to understand
what was happening at this moment because for all he knew, their
jet’ika and all the high generals might be dying right for his
eyes.
‘Don’t
you dare leave us.’ The commander thought, brushing the simple but
elegant collar they had made for him, the gem resting beautifully in
the hollow of Obi-Wan’s throat. ‘Not
now, not when we have you so close to healthy and happy, not when the
war might actually have a conclusion with us surviving… don’t you
dare Obi-Wan.’ Cody pressed his lips to Obi-Wan’s temple, rocking
slightly with emotion.
He
should be helping the rest of the council, should be checking on them
and their health though he could hear that they were all breathing
and a quick visual confirmed that they were. But Cody couldn’t
bring himself to leave Obi-Wan’s side, the shallow breath and pallor of the skin scaring the battle hardened Commander.
Leaving
his lover’s side was not possible, not when he felt so shaken and sore himself, his
head frankly pounding just as General Yoda had warned him of.
Sithspit,
he may not even be able to get to his feet if he tried so he remained
where he was until Skywalker and a team of masked and white clothed
sentinels arrived with the healers rushing to the fallen council
members.
Only
then did Cody reluctantly let go of Obi-Wan, let Anakin help him up
on shaking feet so a toydarian healer could aid the commander because
apparently Cody was going into shock?
‘Huh…how
about that.’ Cody mused tiredly before closing his eyes, falling
prey to a Force suggestion as Skywalker continued propping him up
until he could be laid down on one of the hover stretchers as the
council members had been moments before.
