Distrust and Reconciliation
In the dark regions, where the shadow lies, something lies in wait, waiting ever so patiently. A planet resides, lush with green, with sparkling water, it is a paradise for any who would enter.
Amongst the population, creatures of fur frolic amongst the lush tree's the breeze taking the very leaves, as they glide across the open meadow, one would think it would be a moment of pure love, blossoming in very corner of the planet.
Two lay, as they both cuddled, in embrace, one blushed with intensity as he snuggled against his love, the abs rippling combined with his blue fur, it is paradise, nothing would take it away from them.
His lips parted, his heart pounding from his chest "I think I love you Pepper" embarrassed from the words, his lover lifted his chin.
"I love you too Bubble's, nothing will never come between us now" his face coming closer "Not now, not never" the fur creature closed in the gap, as their lips grows closer.
In an instant the grass have been painted red, as a black pod landed on top of them, from within armoured troops come screaming, as they charged into the fray.
"SHOW NO MERCY BROTHER'S!" a soldier armoured in black metal, his helmet hides the face in view, only his red visor burn with intense rage at this disgusting, putrid race, only their existence is now serve to be annihilated from the face of the galaxy, it would bring no greater glory to see them extinct.
Many pods dropped as more soldiers came screaming with unbridled rage, the innocents were gunned down, some were chased down with a chainsaw, one unfortunate soul was sawn in half from the lower regions first, the intestines spewing outwards like a falling rock, one proceed to grab said spleen and wrapping around the next fur creature neck, strangling it to death, roaring with rage as they perform their kill. One proceed to stomp the face that fell, roaring with each stomp until naught but mush left at the bottom of his foot.
One creature crawled away, as he scrambled from the blood bath, they come out of no where, they committed no crime that deserve such ruthlessness, halted as a stomp on it's back, yelping in pain.
"This one thinks it could get away brother" a soldier, it's voice masked by the helmet breather system, his head glanced as one walked menacingly, as if the executioner have come.
"Such futility, did it even think it would escape it's demise" the broader black armoured soldier scoffed, before picking up the despicable creature by the throat.
"We did nothing to you brutes" the creature yelped, before pleading for it's life "Please I wish to live….."
In an instant the creatures throat was crushed, unable to finish his dying words, blood oozing through it's mouth, before being tossed unceremoniously.
The soldier looked ahead into the tree's watching, something is amiss.
"What is wrong brother?" his counterpart asked, as he too walked to his side gazing to the tree's, until sounds of rustling stirred within the bushes, immediately they raised their weapons and rained oblivion, as bullets ripped through the wood as a few bodies fell, riddled with holes, yet something is still amiss.
"ATTACK!" at this moment, more creatures pounced from their hiding places, fighting back against the aggressors.
The soldiers held them back, reinforced by another of their squad member, holding a flame thrower.
"Hold them back!" the leader raged, sticking it's chainsaw into the closest creature who dare come into his reach.
The attack was unorthodox as the creatures now seperate the one holding the flame thrower, in an instant one pounced on it's face, the soldier cried out in terror.
His partner looked on in alert, picking up the flamethrower "BROTHER?!" scanning for his comrade, seeing said creature humping his face "Gross" before letting out a stream of fire, inflaming his fallen brother, ending his suffering along with this sickening creature.
Backing away with his leader, as they now holding off an unnatural amount of creatures.
"There is no end Brother" The soldier yelled as he switched to his chainsaw rifle, firing away, rapid reloading, their training have prepared them well, seeing a few pods lift back up into orbit, it is nearly time to end it, they just need to reach theirs.
Hearing a screech, his leader is in trouble "Brother?!" turning around to see his leader nabbed by an extremely large creature.
It is as if time slowed at this dreadful moment, the leader feared this would happen, this is not the death he had been gloried to be. Turning frantically to his comrade watching in horror.
"Avenge me Brother!" Ordering his last hope, turning to see the creature pulling it's underwear to the side, no, NO! This is not how he was meant to go out "BROTHER AVENGE ME!" struggling to escape it's grasp.
The soldier visor intensified, it is as if his body had turned to stone, his weapon dropped as his leader has met his fate, before being pounced by numerous creatures, screaming in rage until his body have succumbed to the creatures animalistic nature, in his last moment, he pulled a thermal detonator from his pouch.
"No Mercy" before blowing himself and those that dared to perform a mass orgy on top if him.
From Orbit, on the bridge of a large destroyer, a large soldier watched the feed, a scar ran across his left eye, his withered grey hair, his remaining grey eye, watched as a few of his soldiers have fallen to these pitiful creatures, matters not, only the weak would succumb to this rabble, once learned of these creatures, they swore to purge them, they have no place in the coming empire.
A beeping sound coming from their communications, yet he glared at the feed still, waiting for any more pods to lift from the surface, they have ten minutes before he would call for the Armageddon.
"My General, a secured transmission awaits you from our contact in the known galaxy" a communication soldier, this soldier, in black uniform, bearing a symbol on the shoulder, all uniforms and armour bare such symbol.
"I will be there immediately" the General growled as he walked to the other room, where a long distant transmitter was held.
Activated the dark robed figure appeared, it's hood overshadowing it's face, yet the red and yellow eye's illuminate it's shadow.
"Lord and General Raam" The figure announced "I have need of you"
"You know better to request my assistance even from where you hale" Raam bit back, aggression, a position of power he holds "We are still need this to be in secrecy"
"As do we all my friend" the figure spoke, his voice calm and calculating "There is a matter that would disrupt our most crucial of plans, a loose end that needs dealing"
Dismissing the request "You have bounty hunters to deal with that, we are to remain in dark space until it is necessary"
"We have found and dealing with Darth Sidious, it is crucial that he trusts us, he shall bring the return, yet there are these" an image of of Marisa, Galen and Anakin popped up on the feed, bastard just ignored him, fuelling Raam's rage, ignorant fuck.
"So you found our successor but why should I concern myself with these peasants" Raam gruffed, not seeing why it would need his intervention.
"Sidious need the Chosen one, but I see that he needs to be removed, the other two are formidable force users now allied with the chosen one, the one that can bring balance to the force"
Raam glared insistently, stroking his chin piecing together the information given "You want me to send my best to exterminate these peasants, are they to stand in our way of our glorious return?"
The figure eye twitched "Not only would they stand in the way, but would bring ruin to us all, do what must be done, send your best assassin's, we can have them come to pass as bounty hunters"
Giving a heavy sigh, Raam relented "I will see to it done, but if you were to fail I will come for your head"
"It is best you do send the best to make this as discreet as possible" cutting transmissions, Raam growled, such insufferable fools, they are so arrogant that they would jeopardise the plans that were laid in motion, they are still awaiting on the most crucial piece, turning back to the bridge, glaring at the insignificance planet, many pods are returning, but keeping clear of his flagship, turning to his weapons specialists.
"Prepare for Armageddon, wipe this planet from existence" Raam commanded as he listened to the rush of buttons, and the sound of his weapon activating, a beam irradiated from the front as it shot towards the planet, upon impact, no explosion was caused but the surface became scorched as it cracked the crust of the planet, it as the weapon continued it's ray, the planet slowly scorched planet wide, ash and smoke could be seen from orbit, it is useless to destroy the planet completely, they have just eradicated life from existence.
"Move to collect the planet's inner resources" Raam ordered as ships came out of hyperspace, moving closer to the scorched earth, pleased that he wiped this race clean of it's filth "Now bring me the three"
The Resolute
Anakin paced on the bridge, as his men get to work, his eyes drifted to the transport ship offloading an extremely big ship, some would call it a big fighter, but by the force when they check the ships code logs it was a bit of a shock, checked it once, twice definitely thrice.
What kind of Idiot name their ship Deez Nutz.
The fact Anakin would admit privately that the look and detail of the ship is something he could admire, he can tell it is built for fast manoeuvre, an in and out before the enemy would even notice, amusing that it is coated black, camouflage perhaps, but non the less it is more taking in the specs, jamming system, long range scanners, light armour, and strong shielding, strange why would they need shields, unless their line of work as mercenaries would bring them enemies, still the reputation of them proceeds them, he heard stories but he passed it off as thugs trying to make a name or random rumours to scare children.
Speaking of the VIPs on the ship seem to cooperate, well one of them, they have to strap StarKiller to a table as he is carted off, the force collar still wrapped around his neck, thrashing around yelling like a mad man.
StarDust was more cooperative only for her to make a request her droid is placed within the ship which is now locked in place, seeing the clones, clamping the restraints down, even if the ship would suddenly power up, the clamps would make sure it wouldn't lift off, a precaution he would gladly have in place. The droid with their discretion tossed in the ship, Ahsoka was adamant that StarDust request was fulfilled, despite Anakin's displeasure, he really want to take that thing apart and see all the fascinating hardware invested within it, speaking of Ahsoka, the Padawan just stood there, waiting for any new orders, yet sensing through the force she isn't focus, Anakin can only guess.
"Ahsoka, are you ok?" Anakin asked, observing her reaction, nothing, no sigh, it is like she became emotionless.
Glancing to left and right, uneasy to speak in front of everyone, Anakin getting the hint bid her to follow where they could speak in private. The walk was something if he were to be honest, no cheeky remark, just utter silence, he would have to get it out of her one way or another, reaching to their quarters, the room was built enough for two beds, and a lavatory with a shower, with two small lockers for them to to store their personal equipment.
Anakin watched Ahsoka as she just sat on the end of her bed, twiddling her thumbs, looking to places rather than her master, Anakin was patient especially with Ahsoka, with their bond he could feel the questions wanted to be asked but judging at her hesistancy she is figuring a way to not set his temper, is he that bad? Maybe when it concerns them.
Sighing he tossed away the little device he used to make a short EMP, Ahsoka eyes followed it like a hawk, here comes the first question.
"When did you make that master?" Ahsoka asked, curiosity and maybe something else was in her voice.
"Couple of months back, I have been meaning to use it on extreme cases, one use only I'm afraid" Anakin answered.
"Oh, would have been useful to get us out of a few jams that would definitely be a lot of one uses" Ahsoka replied sarcastically, a lot of close calls and if Skyguy had and use that gizmo they would have avoided a lot of trouble "Why use it now on Proxy?"
Anakin sighed, he knew it would involve the droid, the anger and venom that pointed by Marisa, it had a dangerous ire, especially what she spat out.
"There's something more to that droid that meets the eye and seeing how it was prepared for combat it had to be done, why are you mad about that?" Anakin questioned, should he ask why she went against his wishes for not wanting to put it in their ship? Best not, he needs for to get things off her chest if she were to focus later.
"Did you really use me to get Marisa out of that hotel?" There it is, the big question "I mean I get it if I knew she would sense it but only if it was to deceive her, if I knew that the guy would be in that room I would make sure she is out of the way, like you told me to spend time with her, like..." unable to find more words she became silent, her eyes now wondered to Anakin.
Anakin can hear the hurt and a slight hint of betrayal in her voice, he frowned, something he despise himself, a half truth he didn't really need her at the time, but neither did he order to, suggest it, but not order her too.
"I had a feeling that the target would be related to her, why I didn't tell you is in case I was wrong" Anakin admitted "What would be worse, accuse her after she helped us and turn out to be wrong, or let her think I did exactly what she said but be right" sounded better in his head, hopefully Ahsoka can see the sense in it.
"You still see Marisa as a good person?" yeah definitely didn't get it.
Anakin sighed "No Ahsoka, she's a mercenary, but seeing how she and StarKiller is now stuck with us, in hindsight it was wrong of me, but now because she knows and I know that you are in the unknown she will be inclined to trust you"
Ahsoka soaked in his words, mixed emotions plagued her features, anger, happiness, guilt and sadness.
"Are you planning to use me again to get more information out of her" Ahsoka asked, Anakin held his hands up instantly.
"Force no" Anakin spoke quickly seeing her shoulders come from tense to relaxed, a good sign "Right now we need their cooperation, StarDust's more than that idiot, he can rot in his cell for all I care"
"Marisa" Ahsoka spoke "Her name is Marisa, but I agree we need their cooperation"
"I'm sorry I used you, it was unintentional" Anakin spoke, seeing an amused glare from Ahsoka "Yes I know I'm saying sorry, even though I'm right"
"That would be a first" Ahsoka grinned "Where are they being held?"
Anakin can guess she wants to apologise to her, sensing the guilt, a fair gesture "They are separate, until I can trust StarKiller, he is going no where until I have security in place for him, Marisa is on the second deck, look for Rex he can point the right way"
Ahsoka smiled faintly before nodding "Thank you master" before jogging out, Anakin watching her go, he can still sense the guilt in her, not that he can blame her, he would have to keep an eye on her for the time being, returning to the bridge, getting the security and the mission dossier up to speed, strange that the artefact they have been tasked to find lies in neutral space, just on the edge of unknown space where only a few would dare travel.
According to the galaxy map it has ten chartered planets which was not fully explored ever since the old republic, it's a shame they can't pin point exactly where to go, but it is the best place to start looking, maybe they should find the most intimidating planet name and start there. The occupants of this neutral space prefer to remain on the fence during the war but have threatened the first to breach their space with open warfare they would join the opposing side, which isn't good.
Luckily a single cruiser can enter, as long they don't start trouble.
Ahsoka paced as she wondered, her mind turning tables at the recent events, the betrayed feeling in all parties, Marisa knew what her brother was up to yet lied about his where about, Skyguy knew her brother would be in that room, why can no one be up and straight with her and then do it. Does she really want to see Marisa? After seeing her ship impounded and her droid tossed in said ship she have been very put out, especially when she had been given an ultimatum by the Jedi master's and the chancellor, at least she cooperated during her questioning, apparently StarKiller gave them some trouble, a shudder down her spine, yeah not a cool name, it sound like a psychopath would use.
The clones busied themselves as they prep for further orders, mostly they eat in the canteen, or in their bunks performing maintenance on their weapons and armour, Ahsoka enjoyed their company, despite a few calling her commander, she just prefer Ahsoka.
Speaking of which, heading down to the second level, this level seem a bit more tense maybe because of the notorious individuals stationed on this deck, right next to the brig, at least she knows where the crazy one is, but Marisa couldn't be held there, despite not trusting her, Skyguy at least gave her a comfortable room to be in.
Hearing a familiar voice, well they all sound the same but Rex have a distinct tone that is very welcoming.
"I can count on you to carry this duty out" hearing Rex, his yellow shaved hair standing out as he talked to another clone, his head shaved with black showing.
"I never let you down Captain, besides why me? Surely our security is sufficient enough?" a clone replied, Ahsoka recognised him as Rex's second, apparently he fought under Rex since Geonosis and Rex tutored him all the way, to the point they are made ARC troopers.
"As I said, I can count on you not to fail, despite added security, I know you are able to handle it while I continue my other duties" Rex replied before saluting and departing.
"What is that about Rex?" Ahsoka asked seeing Rex instantly turning to her, a small smirk on his lips.
"Hello to you too Ahsoka, General Skywalker wanted me to assign the best to guard or as I would say babysit one of the VIPs, the Lieutenant would be the best job for it" Rex telling the need to know to Ahsoka, which is basically everything seeing it wouldn't be a secret "What brings you to me?"
Ahsoka fidgeted for a moment, relaxing to see Rex smirking again.
"Follow me kid, I show you where she is" Rex beckoned Ahsoka lifted her brow in amusement can Rex mind read? "It would be the only reason why you would wonder onto this deck searching for me, she's in a room with basic essentials, not too make her feel like a prisoner as much but enough to know she is being detained at the same time"
"Jeez Rex can you read minds as well?" Ahsoka joked, receiving a chortle in return.
"Spend enough time, you will learn enough what you guys are thinking, but there is never a moment when you guys wouldn't surprise me with what you can do" Rex returning the jest, until his eye's rested onto her again "Are you alright Ahsoka?"
There it is, catching or reading her mind again, he always knows if something up with her without missing a beat.
"I'm ok, just a lot happening all at once, it quite hard to let it all sink in without catching a breath that's all" Ahsoka answered, it has been a rough ride, all in one week, Padmé framed, Marisa, her brother and now this big evil guy wanting some artefact which may as well destroy the galaxy or enslave it, debating which is worse.
"Well, take a breath now while I walk you to her room" Rex offered, appreciated all the same, why isn't he a commander by now puzzles her, maybe soon, might talk to Skyguy about it later.
"Thanks Rex" accepting the warm gesture, breathing in and out as they walk "How did the Lieutenant take with his new job?"
"Shepard? Well he wouldn't back down from a challenge, he always said he wanted something big and exciting to do" Rex joked on the last bit.
"From what I hear, he be wishing he didn't want that type of challenge" both chortling at the expense of the fully detained prisoner "I wonder if he could hear us from the brig" glancing to the brig nervously.
"I highly doubt it, the force restraint collar is on him and bound to the table inside a locked cell with Shepard and about six over guys, he might be hearing their words" Rex reassuringly laughed, carrying down the hallway, few clones waved and saluted to their respected Captain as they continue their duties, until coming up to two clones standing by the door.
"Here it is, good luck in there" Rex pointed to the door "I be on comms if you need me, I will have to see General Skywalker to speed up the process of leaving Coruscant"
"Oh how will we cope if he doesn't get out of here" Ahsoka chimed into a tune before standing face to the door, pausing for a moment, unsure how to go about it, would she be pleased to see her? Angry? Dismissive? Happy? Mixed feelings rushing through her core, they got along so well when they had a day out, how they laugh and tease about Skyguy, even when they went to the stores, trying on clothes.
Clenching around her bracelet around her arm, Marisa gave her this as a gift for her to wear, she consider her as a friend right there because she did it because she wanted to and not to gain favour or anything, maybe she felt the same because of how comfortable she has been and trusted her with a few details that even now kept secret until it all got exposed because of her brother.
Taking a deep breath, the door slide open as she knocked the side telling her she is here, taking in the accommodation she was given, it was small, basic bed, shelf and locker for her to have stuff, seeing the woman in front as she sat at a desk reading through her data pads, the one thing she adamantly refuse to give up to the point she threatened to use the force to push Skyguy out the nearest airlock, wouldn't go down well but her point was made, she changed her outfit to a leather jacket, tight black jeans and high boots, resting on said table, her hair tied into a pony tail, her dark brown eye's focused as she skimmed through, her change of posture relaxed for a moment as if she sensed Ahsoka walked in.
Ahsoka stood for what feel like an eternity as the door slowly slid shut behind her, well this is awkward was an understatement, until Marisa removed her feet from the table, her eye's rested on her, a small smile rested on her lips.
"Hey Ahsoka" She spoke first.
"Hey Marisa" Ahsoka replied back "Before we start I just wanted too..."
Before being cut off from Marisa as she spoke over her.
"I'm sorry" catching Ahsoka off guard "I knew about my brother and what he did, even during the investigation, I planned to sabotage it, but I didn't, I betrayed your trust from the very beginning by using you to get into the temple"
The poor woman just poured her heart out and Ahsoka find it ironic how she came to apologise to her.
"I don't have any friends beside Proxy… and Galen" hesitating on mentioning her brother "I am just, I'm sorry, I don't deserve your friendship, and seeing how Proxy got shut down just like that, it made me angry and have me snap at you, which you didn't deserve..."
"Ok my turn to interrupt, you need to take a deep breath" Ahsoka interrupt "Funny I actually came to apologise to you about what happened" scratching the back of her head.
Marisa gave a weak smile as her eyes lowered to her feet "Yeah we both have something to apologise for"
Ahsoka felt slightly relieved, despite the past events, she wants to make this work seeing how they need to cooperate, she just got a feeling that Marisa is the only one that can control the brother, seeing from what she heard from the questioning she kept him locked in the room for his safety and those around him more likely.
Walking over to Marisa, as her head move slowly upwards, her hand outstretched, confusion set Marisa's features.
"let's start again, I'm Ahsoka Tano" Ahsoka beamed, Marisa glanced to the hand stretched out, a small smile crossed the corner of her lips.
"Marisa Marek" Marisa smile grew wider, feeling this moment of reconciliation between them, which is good, seeing how they be stuck on the ship.
"Marek?" Ahsoka amused at the last name "That sound familiar in a way"
"Yeah don't tell Skywalker, let's keep it just between us" Marisa winked as Ahsoka sniggered.
"A little secret between us, wouldn't your brother be mad if he knew you told me?" Ahsoka asked, this feels like one of those secret things that Marisa and her brother agreed upon, still it's good to start a new.
Brig
"No body knows the trouble I've done, nobody knows my sorrow" a sad tune sang in a locked cell, it's a quaint little cell, with brimming red force field being the only thing keeping you in, strapped to a bed with a collar on like some mentally disturbed and crazy guy, I mean look at the stainless wall, it is perfectly clean, but I bet you get a UV light, it will reveal a lot of dark secrets…. Gaah why did I think of that, no wait, blood, some poor bastard been beaten and coughed up blood not some random, nope not going there.
I mean is it really necessary to be confined to the brig strapped in a table or bed? Yeah I tried to run when they freed me from the chair after agreeing to their terms and conditions of 'cooperation' on some mission that they have not disclosed to me and no mention of reward…. They might have but I may have forgotten, I may have bitch slapped baldy and called him a porn star as he gave me the glare of not so intimidation, and maybe accusing a bunch of dudes in white and red armour of trying to perform a gang bang on me, I mean seriously what am I suppose to think when they all jump on top of me with no batons or guns, I mean it wasn't hard wriggling out like a slippery snake but the fact they tried to pull me back in leave a lot of questions on their actions.
It is not my fault when they shot a stun dart in my neck, it drives me crazy, running around feeling numb can do things like head butting Sky wanker and laugh at him as he fell down on his ass, doesn't help shooting another into my arms, loosing all feeling in my arms as I flail them about smacking the mask of that alien dude, he wasn't happy about that for sure, but luckily it kept baldy off me as he divert attention towards the polite alien Jedi, I like him at least he didn't want to rape me, oh wait he gang banged my fucking mind.
I swear these republic troopers have really good accuracy as they nailed one into my leg, watching me limp around as I call out to my innocence, they suppose to be all for justice and order, not shoot innocent people, how was I suppose to know by running into the main control room and accidentality hit a lot of buttons would unlock a few locked doors, nearly causing a mass break out, it isn't like I plan to use that to try and escape, not in my condition any ways.
Just as I gotten to safety, preparing to relax at the exit door, just an innocent bystander hiding from a breakout of the most dangerous criminals that is not from my doing, I may repeat again, completely innocent, those ass holes shot six stun darts into my back, completely illegal, no warning at all just bang your now knocked the fuck out, now I wake up in this cell….. I want to call my lawyer.
Galen mind was racing as he woke up, he knows he is in a ship, the force still shut off to him, he hates collars with a passion, reminds him how he posed as a slave on one mission, still no time to reminisce the past, focus on the now and how to get out, hearing footsteps coming, Galen lifted his head to see a trooper in front, wearing some skirt around his waist, blue markings with a blue overlaying guard on his shoulder, his arms now resting behind his back as if inspecting what is in front of him, soaking in every detail before making a decision.
"Have you come to release me? Or have you come to interrogate me?" Galen asked, the trooper looked at him, unable to see the damn eyes through the helmet, might be judging him, two can play that game, I judge back.
The trooper pulled out a data pad looking to the prisoner and back to the pad.
"StarKiller" He began "I am tasked to oversee and watch your every movements, once the all clear from General Skywalker is given you are to remain, once…."
"BORING" Galen shouted out, interrupting the trooper, a pause for a slight moment before the trooper continued.
"Once the all clear is given, you will have limited movement on ship, you will be restricted heavily on areas due to your behaviour, you will be confined to a more suitable room provided with personnel with you twenty-four seven around the clock, there will be times where you must follow orders given from your guard and follow without hesitation, failure to do so will result back into the condition you are in now, Any questions?"
The trooper finished as his attention now returned to Galen, who looked extremely bored and confused, they are giving him the right to ask to his heart desires.
"Do I have this collar removed?"
"No"
"Well shit, ok where would I be allowed to go"
"Cafeteria, and your room provided" that's extremely restricted movement, it's like from one prison cell but to a much fancier prison cell, damn Marisa better be having the same treatment as he is and not the golden treatment for cooperating and not causing trouble.
"What's your name?" galen asked.
"Lieutenant CT 5307242, that is all you need to know" the trooper replied.
"BORING, you are now private twinkles, until I can think of a good name" Galen declared as he glanced to the walls, hearing a heavy sigh form the other side.
More footsteps come along, to Galen's dismay Sky Wanker had shown his presence.
"Has he been informed Lieutenant Shepard?" Anakin asked, confused as he heard another heavy sigh originate from the lieutenant, glancing to Galen, his eyes brightening up at the revelation, Anakin felt a bit guilty now, he just unintentionally made this trooper's job harder than it should be.
"He has sir, although I would recommend having him a full physic review on his mental state sir, plus having him restrained to this cell for a very long time" Shepard advised, Anakin have entertained the idea, but for now they need to cooperate, letting him out is a step but if he tries he may have to be very drastic, being on a ship, this guy could cause a lot of trouble than just the CG headquarters, what a mess that had been, Master Windu was actually happy to see him out cold and removed from the planet completely, could have sworn he gave a sigh of relief when StarKiller was finally recaptured.
"Baby steps lieutenant, I take it Captain Rex informed you already"
"Yes sir, I just didn't get to the part about informing the prisoner who will be watching him" Shepard responded, thinking it be an easy job, but he sure think opposite after actually meeting the guy, thinking he be a serious and dangerous person that can be reasonable, nope just some idiot.
Turning to StarKiller who have been unusually silent on the exchange, his eyes wonder back and forth, as if plotting something, a foreboding feeling, Anakin may have to double the patrols to ensure the safety of everyone if StarKiller tried to do something clever, might have Marisa as a bargaining chip to keep him under control.
"So StarKiller, are you going to behave?" Galen felt slightly insulted, Sky wanker is talking to him like a kid, if only he could headbutt him one more time just for shit and giggles.
"Would you believe me if I said yes?" Galen quickly answered, amused to see Shepard and Skywalker glanced to each other for a brief moment, not entirely convinced.
"Just follow the Lieutenants orders and don't do anything that would lead you back into here" Anakin repeated what the other guy said, oh force just get me out of these constraints.
It didn't took long before more guards in blue stripes or markings or whatever to come along, guns raised as StarKiller was slowly released from the bed, once the final restraint was removed, a pregnant pause from everyone as they held their breaths, watching his every move, as Galen flexed his arms and began stretching, as he eyed everyone, before quickly trying to yank off the collar around his throat, Anakin find this quite amusing to be fair as the fool tried so hard until being held down.
"Oh I forgot to mention" Anakin smirked "the collar can only be removed remotely, the collar can't be removed by force or manually" the look of annoyance was a beautiful sight to behold, as the man looked so defeated before conceding "He's all yours Lieutenant, play nice"
Shepard sighed as the guards removed themselves "Come along, I will bring you to your quarters"
"I'm not sharing with my sister aren't I?"Galen asked seeing Shepard halt for a moment.
"Negative, General Skywalker see fit you are kept separate, you are allowed to interact and communicate but that is it, I'm afraid" Shepard replied, giving no room for misinterpretation, a good sign as the man relaxed, seemingly satisfied with the response, no matter how bad they are, no brother or sister should be kept away from each other, like he wouldn't like to be kept away from his brothers and mentor.
Galen walked behind as his eyes fixed ahead, his mind wandering, a sudden dreadful thought came to mind, Proxy what the hell are you planning now?
Galen sighed for a moment as he is led away, let's get this day over with, the sooner he knows what he is doing and the what the mission is the sooner he can solve the predicament he is and that of Marisa's.
