Chapter Six: Meeting A weird green thing that talks way too funny...
Kai crossed his arms as he watched the soldiers rush about the place. Apparently, someone called General Yoda was coming onboard the ship to meet him and Zane...and by the way everyone was rushing about, it was obvious that he was Anakin's superior. Zane slipped over next to him, his calm presence not fooling Kai in the least. He was anxious about how this general would react to Kai. So far no one liked him. "You know? Anxiety doesn't look good on you. Leave that to me and Jay."
Zane groaned, before quietly, and subtly, whacking Kai in the back of the head. "Now is not the time to joke. This general could very easily order for you to be arrested without any reason at all."
Kai squinted his eyes as he looked ahead to where the most activity was happening. "Man... what kind of discipline do they allow in their army here if this is how they react when they hear that some general is coming over. We've never had to scramble to get everything in proper order before."
"That would be because we knew that if we did that, he would be able to tell and all of us, whether we were guilty or not, would be disciplined for it." Zane spoke softly, clasping his hands together."Watashi wa anata to hitori de hanasu yō ni tanonda to omoimasu ka? Ima wa itsu demo onaji kurai yoidesu."
Kai tilted his head to the side, noting that Ahsoka and the captain, Rex, was watching them interact. "Watashitachiha hitoride wanai tsurara."
Zane nodded in greeting to the two members of this crew that Kai suspected where on orders to watch them, particularly him. "Ima sugu ni denwa shinaide kudasai. Sō sureba wakarimasu. Watashitachi no sosen no shita wa sorera o kondō shite iru yōdesu." Zane turned back to look at Kai. "Watashi wa, kono basho ni tsuite, aruiwa watashitachi ga mukatte iru basho ni tsuite, mattaku nani mo shiranai to iu jijitsu dake o giron shitai to omoimashita."
Kai paused, realization crashing into him. "Anata ga tadashīdesu. Watashitachi wa nani o shimasu ka? Karera wa akiraka ni anata o shinrai shite imasuga, watashide wa arimasen!"
Zane frowned, his brow wrinkling in worry. "I do not actually know. Perhaps if I can find a library to do some research in..."
"Of course you would want to do research! Sometimes you've got to act first and ask questions later." Kai grumbled, frustration flaring up inside of him.
Zane shot him a look, before schooling his features back to being completely and utterly blank. "That mindset has rarely helped you in the past."
Kai scoffed, but didn't say anything. He knew better than to argue with Zane when he was telling the truth. "There's the ship." Kai nodded to the spaceship that just landed in the hangar.
"Too bad Jay isn't here. He would have loved this." Zane straightened up, clasping his hands firmly in front of him.
"Before or after he found out his...relation...to Cliff Gordon the Movie Star known for being a Snob?" Kai drily asked as he crossed his arms.
Zane didn't answer, surprise flaring across their bond as a...small green thing came off of the ship. All of the soldiers saluted it, as if this was completely normal. "Kai... Fukai to omowa reru koto wa nani mo iwanaide kudasai!"
"Eesh… Pretty sure that training knocked that into me... seriously what is up with Sensei and whacking us with his staff?" Kai grumbled halfheartedly, a smile quirking the edge of his lips.
Zane chuckled at that, allowing memories of all of the times he, or anyone really, got whacked by the ancient bamboo staff of the Sensei. "Yes... I know."
The short green thing walked up to them. "Hmm, guests from afar, are you?"
"Wait...what!?" Both of them blinked rapidly, confused by that.
"Master Yoda, I am. Your names, I know not." Yoda smiled to himself, amused that his speech pattern confused them.
"My name is Zane. This is my brother, and best friend, Kai. It is our pleasure to meet you." Zane bowed the way he was trained to when meeting an higher up.
Kai jerked his head, but didn't bother to bow properly. "What he said."
Zane blinked slowly, his signal to the outside world that he was fighting the urge to laugh. Kai smirked, suspecting that his lack f protocol was the cause for it this time around. Yoda rubbed his chin, his gaze peering over at Kai. "I sense a great dea lfo darkness in you..."
"How is that possible? Kai was never bitten by the Dai maō. And I do not recall him getting splattered by Dākumatā either." Zane protested, confusion flooding him.
Kai lifted a hand up, placing it on Zane's arm to still him. "Icicle...you need to calm down. No need to get all worked up over it."
"Of course. My apologies." Zane bowed again, his features already going back to the perfect blank expressions that drives everyone up the wall.
Yoda hummed in surprise, eyeing the two. He has seen a great many things in his lifetime...but someone that is light with someone that is dark, and claiming to be the best friends was new. As was the way that the dark one calmed the light one down, instead of the other way around. "Keep an eye on you two, I must."
"Uh?" Yoda chuckled as he realized that speaking in unison appeared to be second nature to them. The force sang softly, telling him to trust both of them.
"A word Skywalker." Yoda walked over, tapping the rebellious Jedi Knight on the arm, his mind still dwelling on the mysterious two humans that were watching him leave...if they were human at all.
Kai shook his head, before turning to face Zane. "Ever get the feeling that something is amiss?"
"All the time. I do have Dairokkan. I just wish I could just shrug off this feeling that something is majorly off here..." Zane frowned, his eyes gazing out toward the distant wall.
