Chapter Two:
~Commander Cody's POV
The first Jedi was a green skinned Twi'lek in traditional Jedi robes named Mia Lane. She was smiling and darting here and there, talking to people and spreading her happiness around. She was pretty yet I wasn't really attracted to her like a civilian male would have been, even though she is very beautiful.
The other woman, Jedi Valora Zatoq, was a different story. She seemed to sigh a lot at her friend's excitement and energy, and kept her face hidden in the shadows of her hood. She was wearing a sort of tunic and leggings, and not traditional Jedi robes.
Right now Valora was looking down at the hologram table, studying the holos of the blockade surrounding Geonosis. She hasn't said a single word. She has only nodded or shook her head in response to questions anyone asked her. It made me uncomfortable. Not seeing her face added to that. I guess that how civilians think when they see us clones wearing our helmets. At least we take our helmets off and engage in face to face conversations and not always hide our faces. This woman has hidden her face for the whole 4 hours we have known each other.
"When will we arrive at Geonosis?" Valora asked suddenly, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"In three standard hours, ma'am," I replied, a bit surprised that she had finally decided to talk.
"Don't call me 'ma'am' please," she asked.
"Alright, General."
"You can call me Valora, you know."
"Ok then, Gen- I mean Valora."
Valora didn't reply and kept studying the holos. She was silent for a bit and then she said, "I'm going to go mediate and maybe try to sleep a bit. Get me once we arrive."
"Yes, ma'- Valora."
Valora then left the room, leaving me to stare at holos and think over the two Jedi Generals I had just met.
Alarms screamed and the ship shook as I ran down the hallway. Separatist ships had ambushed us and as soon as we jumped out of hyperspace more enemy ships had also jumped out behind us and started their attacks.
I ran up to Valora's quarters and knocked on the door. No sooner than I knocked the door flew open. If I wasn't so well trained and good at ignoring distractions I would have been at loss for words.
Valora's cloak and hood where gone yet she was still in the same clothes she was in before. But now I could see her face. She had bright green hair that cascaded in a perfect wave about an inch past her shoulders with choppy bangs, a pale, smooth face, and a medical bandage wrapped around her eyes.
"General we have been ambushed. We need you at the bridge," I told her, a bit confused as to why her eyes were bandaged.
"Let's go then!" Valora replied running out of her room and down the hallway towards the bridge.
I followed.
I was a bit confused as to how Valora was running around yet had bandaged over her eyes. Must be a Jedi thing. I made a mental note to ask her about it later.
We ran up to the bridge and Valora immediately took charge.
"Convert as much power as you can to the rear shields! Contact the others in the fleet to do the same! Send all pilots to their ships! We need starfighters in the air!" Valora yelled.
~Valora Zatoq's POV
"Mia! Get to your starfighter and get out there!" I told my friend via comlink.
"Already sitting in my fighter. We are all waiting for your word!" Mia replied.
"Good."
I then opened the comlink channel to all the pilots and the ones waiting to open the hanger bay doors.
"On three. One."
I could feel the fear of the pilots and the men on the ship. It was normal and smart to fear. Only idiots had no fear in situations like this.
"Two."
I am sending men and pilots to their deaths. Anyone could die. Mia could die. I could die. I hated this feeling.
I took a deep breath and then said, "Three."
The bay doors opened and I watched as the squadrons and Mia flew out into the fray.
That was when I faded out. But this time I could see and I could remember.
