I'll be honest - I wasn't sure what I was trying to do with this chapter? I just something on TV with a similar situation and went 'Hey, I can use this!' So... yeah. This is the result of that.
Guest: Heh, imagine what you will with the movie xD
Oakenshield34: I don't personally like horror myself, but I was stupid a couple of times (and my brothers were a-holes) and we watched... Saw something during the night. I was way to young for that shit so... yeah.
Rohirrim Girl 2187: Well, he is, but Bishop didn't fall for her charms for a different reason. And she did try to lure Rex in with the touch so... I didn't actually base the name on anything I've known before? Just something that would fit together so, I don't know Sons of Anarchy. But yeah, they had a sleepover and that was just too fun to pass
Guest: Thanks, I guess? I've got time to write so, making the most of it. And I'm happy to hear you enjoyed Aliit and that these are working out. That is actually something I wasn't sure if I should do, but if you'd be interested in it, I'll do it =D
Okay, so, yeah, this is a really random one, but I feel like it would happen? I mean, I dunno, just roll with it. Next one is going to be better (I hope)
As always, read, review and enjoy~
Surprise visits are rare on Kamino. But surprise visits you know about are the worst.
Especially when there's an explanation to give by the end of it.
"Alright nannies, last thing we're doing today is Dead Coms," Mortimer walked around the fives cadets, each of which looked rather tired.
"Oh joy, my favorite…" Jezdec muttered, looking at the side.
"What was that cadet?" Laquin frowned and folded his arms.
"Nothing sir!" the 'knight' straightened his back, clicking his heels together.
"Thought so…" the Lasat smirked. "Now get ready to-," he didn't get to finish as the doors to the training ground opened and someone came rushing in.
"Mortimer!" he called, a look of panic on his eyes.
"What's wrong?" he turned to El-Les, knowing nothing good would come from this…
"The inspectors are here!" the trainer blurred out, eyes going to the cadets. "Bric, Nazim and Kopa weren't ready and got into trouble. I think they're going to check us next."
"Do Mira and Sadix know that yet?" Laquin growled, eyes narrowing.
"I told Sadix, but Mira – I couldn't reach her…"
"Sirs?" Rex asked, stepping closer, looking between the trainers. The others were right behind, confusion on their faces.
"You all have a short break – I'll be back soon," Mortimer quickly said, already trying to call the Zygerrian woman.
"What's going on?" the cadets turned to their brothers, who only shrugged back.
"We'll explain later," El-Les gave an apologetic look before following the Lasat out of the training ground.
"That doesn't sound good…" Pion whispered, hints of concern on his face.
"There's only one way to find out," Jezdec smirked, already moving towards the door.
"No, no! I know that look! No!" Rex called, but Turm was already smiling and following.
"I'm actually with them on this one," Bishop shrugged, a small grin on his lips.
"Really? I expected you of all people to be against this!"
"Well, I still think it's a bad idea…" the medic grumbled.
"Thank you, Pion."
"C'mon you two, what else are you gonna do?" the 'knight' stuck his tongue out, waving with his hand to follow.
"We are so dead if we get caught…" the two reluctant cadets shook their heads.
"Seems like everyone's busy with… whatever this is," the 'rook' assured, checking to make sure the exit was secure.
"They said it was an inspection… of what?" the sniper said in thought.
"Let's go find out, shall we?"
They were walking down the corridor mostly without problem. And they were technically on break so if anyone asked, they had an excuse. However, as they neared Training Ground 8, they saw a familiar squad of cadets outside.
"Keeli, Denal, Appo! What's going on?" Jezdec was the first one to ask, getting the three older cadets to look in surprise.
"You got us. We were just doing some exercises when these people in fancy outfits came in. Mira looked ready to tear their heads off, but sent us out before they started talking," Keeli explained, looking lost.
"Did you see Mortimer and El-Les pass? They were supposed to be here," Rex added, eyes going to the door. They could hear someone talking, but not much.
"Yeah, went in soon after they showed up and a few others as well. Don't know other than that," Denal frowned, leaning on a wall.
"Where are Sinker and Boost?" Turm asked, looking around and seeing that a few more had joined them by in the hall.
"Went to the mess hall – figured they might get there before it gets packed," Appo sighed, a bit worried about the attention that was going around right now.
But then, finally, it seemed like the people inside the training ground had moved closer to the door as they were able to hear them.
"Again we ask Miss, what your real name is?" the fancy and rich voice of a man sounded so strange in this place.
"…Mira Lorenc," it came out close to a growl.
"Mira? Would you happen to be related to Miraj-,"
"Don't you dare compare me to that skug! She can go jump off her own palace for all I care!" the cadets shared a confused look at the sudden outburst.
"Haven't you probed around here enough?" that was Mortimer, his own voice hard.
"We still have a few people to inspect. We are simply doing our jobs," that one was a female, her accent thick and harsh.
"Mortimer Laquin, Ciel Termer and El-Les are all still to be checked."
"Ciel's dead," there was a pause, on both sides of the door. "It happened a few standard weeks ago."
"I see… Well, that still leaves you, mister Laquin and El-Les. And Miss Lorenc, we will require further questions."
"Bite me!" Mira hissed and seconds later, the doors opened, showing a few people standing there, one person leaving and a bunch of clones outside.
"What is this?"
"Oh this is the last thing I need!"
"Not good…"
"Kirff…"
They were back in their training ground, just waiting for the man to arrive. Jezdec and Pion sat on the ground, backs to the wall. Bishop was leaning on a wall near them, Turm was walking around in small circles and Rex stood in the middle of the small group, eyes on the door. Everyone was sent away after they were found outside Training Ground 8, with a semi-promise by their trainers for an explanation.
Finally, the doors opened and an exhausting and annoyed looking Lasat entered, walking over to where they were all picking themselves up. They all stood in silence for a few seconds, just looking at each other.
"I suppose it's about time I told you about… this. The Ghost Squad already knows – they found out last year…" he sighed, running his hand over his face.
"Not sure if any of you are aware, but quite a few of the trainers here on Kamino are – or were – bounty hunters," he started, hands behind his back.
The cadets have, in fact, heard something about that. From the older ones at least. It explained a couple a things, but they never really cared much about it.
"Myself and Ciel were both partners before retiring here," he said, voice dropping slightly. "But that's not the point. Some rich hats back in the Senate decided we all needed to be 'kept an eye on' so they started doing these… inspections. The people you saw earlier? Those were them. They barge in here, no warning, and just start snooping around our actions, activities and the like… If any of us refuse to tell them what they want to know, we risk losing our jobs here," he explained, a frown coming to his face.
"The worst part, is if they even think you're doing something wrong, they inspect the cadets as well. Mira's squad will probably get that. It never ends well, especially when many cadets having no idea what it's all about," his shoulders dropped as he let out another sigh.
"They'll be back next year. I just hope you nannies stay out of trouble," he sent a small glare towards Jezdec, who only laughed back.
"We'll do our best sir," Rex assured, but the trainer just shook his head. He wouldn't be surprised of these idiots ended up in trouble with the damn Senate.
Cut! So, yeah, now you see what I was talking about. I do believe they'd have someone check in on all the Bounty Hunters on Kamino, especially since they are training their soldiers. Better make sure everything goes right, eh?
Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed! Feel free to review what you thought! I love hearing from you all!
Till next time~
