Chapter 9
(Bridge, Republic Cruiser)
Lux, Ahsoka, and Marcus were in the war room on the bridge of the Republic cruiser, talking with the Jedi (via hologram) about what they have just found. "We believe that Vinndi's final base is here, on mustafar" said Anakin; "He's building a satellite that he is planning to launch into orbit that will have enough firepower to decimate an entire city" said Windu. The three of them looked at each other, "Well if he's planning to launch this thing then I suggest that we move in" said Ahsoka. "Agree with Padawan Tano, I do" said Yoda, "Act on this we must, do dangerous to keep Vinndi alive it is". The Jedi showed further schematics of the base, "This is the entrance of the base which is guarded by commando droids and battle droids" said Anakin, "And here is the Lab/launch room where Vinndi is going to launch the satellite". Lux and the others saw the lab, and knew that Vinndi was going to stop at nothing until that satellite was launched in the air, "Master Jedi, I can't help but feel that Vinndi is hiding something else along with the satellite, he said to me once that he was working on his own strength enhancing serum, but Dr. Monics told me that it was unstable". "Well whatever else he is doing, he must not get away with it" said Anakin, "Good luck, and may the force be with you" Windu said before they signed off. "Well what the hell are we going to do?" said Marcus, "It's not like we can just knock right on their front door". "Why not" Lux said, they all turned to him, "That's exactly what we're going to do".
(Separatist Factory, Mustafar)
The droids were all lined up in the main room of the factory, Vinndi walked up to the front and all of the droids started to stand too attention. "Today, this Republic shall not only feel suffering and destruction, but the rise of a new victory" he said aloud, then he showed them the massive satellite in the corner, "With this device, I will have the power to decimate any Republic city, at any hour at everyday" he said. He turned to the audience, "Now everyone, back to your stations" he said, all of the droids obeyed him and walked off into the hallways. Vinndi smiled knowing that his plans are coming into place, "How long before the satellite is launched into space?" Vinndi asked the tactical droid, "Estimated launch time is one hour thirty two minutes and 18 seconds sir" the droid said to him. "Good, make sure that it is in place when the time has come" he said, "Yes doctor" the droid said, then Kari walked up to him. "What if they get through and reach this room?" She asked "They would probably stop the launch anyway", "I have a similar thought to that Kari, but if they did get through our defenses, I will use this". He then took out a little container that had his own version of the original formula inside, "Are you sure that isn't unstable?" asked Kari, "I doubt that you will succeed". Vinndi looked at her, "Don't toy with me, you see this scar" he then pointed to a scar on his face that went all the way from his eyebrow to his left cheek bone. "This scar was a gift I received from prison, If you question my plan of using this serum I will give you one just like it, understand?" he said to her, "Yes sir" said Kari. Suddenly, a battle droid walked up to him, "Sir, we have detected several Republic gunships entering the planet's atmosphere" the droid said. Vinndi looked at Kari, "So they have arrived" Vinndi said, "Tell the droids to prepare for battle, and make sure those defenses are fully operational", "Yes sir" said Kari as she walked off. Vinndi then looked at the serum, "The time has come my friend" he said with a smirk.
(Separatist factory outskirts, Mustafar)
Lux, Ahsoka, Marcus, and the battalion of clones were hiding in the hills just outside of the factory; the three of them crouched on the tip of the hill to get a look. "By the looks of it, there are about two tanks, six commando droids, 30 battle droids, and two destroyer droids guarding the entrance" said Marcus, "This isn't going to be easy". "Don't worry about it Marcus" said Ahsoka, "This is the least problem that we face, there are more droids inside the factory". Lux looked at both of them and smiled, "Alright, let's go over the plan one more time" he said to them, "First, we will charge and attack the front gate, then Marcus and the clones will keep the droids distracted while Ahsoka and I will go to the laboratory and stop the launch, you got it?". "Yeah, we got it" said Marcus, "I got it too" said Ahsoka. "Alright" said Lux, let's do this", he then loaded his gun, and went to the group of clones; he held his hand out to halt the troops. Then, when the time came Lux threw his arm down, and the clones charged at the gate with the three teenagers leading them, Lux charged through the defenses, shooting, kicking, and knocking droids to the ground. Two clones with rocket launchers ran up and fired at the droid tanks, blowing them to bits. Marcus was firing his EMP arrows that when hit, the droids would shut down after just one hit, and Ahsoka was slicing the droids up with her lightsaber skills. Soon they got through to the gate, Marcus ran up to the front door, and was able to hack into the mainframe, and get the door open, they all walked into the factory, "Alright Marcus" said Lux, "You and the rest of the clones keep the droids distracted, Ahsoka and I will take care of stopping that launch". "Got it" said Marcus, as Lux and Ahsoka rushed off, Marcus looked behind him, "Alright troops" he said, "Move out!", and they all charged through the factory guns blazing and arrows flying. Ahsoka and Lux, were walking through the hall way, when they finally got to the entrance of the Launch room, "I'll go in first" said Lux, "Just to make sure that the room is secure", "Be my guest" Ahsoka said. Lux walked through the doors and looked around the area, until suddenly, the doors closed behind them, Lux rushed to the doors to see if he can try to open it, until he heard a voice off in the distance. "Well, we meet again young man", Lux turned around to see Vinndi about 18 feet away from him, "Hello doctor" said Lux. Vinndi got up and walked towards the table, while paying attention to Lux, "So, I have always been the enemy of the Republic, is that what Dr. Monics told you?" he said to him, "He told me you were insane" said Lux, "He said that the serum you made was a failure". Vinndi looked at him with a sick sneer, "No matter what lies he told you, I saw it as my greatest success" he said to him, he walked over to the table and picked up a bottle that was sitting on the table, "What are you doing?" asked Lux. He saw what looked like a green liquid that you could see through, it was in a needle, and Lux looked at it for a minute and realized that it was the same serum that was used years ago. "You see, all I did for this was add a few ingredients and now you will see the power of this serum" Vinndi said, he took out the needle and aimed it for his arm, "Stop, No!" said Lux, but it was too late, Vinndi had already injected it into his arm and once the needle was empty, he threw it onto the floor, and it smashed into pieces. In just a minute, Vinndi's muscles started to get bigger, his size grew rapidly, his skin started to turn red, and in just two minutes, he became what Dr. Monics would have considered and abomination. Vinndi charged at Lux, and he started to realize that this wasn't going to go well for him.
