CHAPTER 4
THE silver plate of doom
CX-PX was transported from 22 B.B.Y. to 597 B.B.Y, or in that period of time, 54 A.F.R (After Fall of the Republic). For some reason, Aayla wanted him to serve the two heads of the CPG, Darth Terrorous and Voren Fett, dinner. CX-PX didn't know why, but he felt like he had to follow the orders of that Twi'Lek. He was transported into an unknown room, but as he explored the area around him, he saw several protocol droids who had aprons on and plates in their hands.
"What are you doing here?" asked one of the protocol droids. "You don't look familiar".
"I'm terribly sorry about this", said CX-PX. With one great sweep from his arm, he knocked off the droid's head and wore its clothes. It then followed the other droids to what seemed to be a kitchen, with a female Besalisk serving the food.
"What does the commander want today?" asked the Besalisk when it was his turn.
"The commander?" exclaimed CX-PX. "Oh! He wants some Bantha Ribs with a sautéed Rodian Monkey Pear sauce and some Arconian Ale."
"What about his buddy?" asked the Besalisk.
"Oh", said CX-PX. "He wants a Gotal Garden Salad with ummmmm Jawa juice."
"Coming right up", said the Besalisk. A few moments later their dinners were made and CX-PX was on his way. After several insulting taunts the droid found his way to the Commander's quarters, where he found a tattooed Zabrak and a man wearing strange black armor.
"What's this?" exclaimed the Zabrak. "I didn't order these!"
"Well", said CX-PX. "It's a special meal for a special man!"
"I didn't know you two had a thing", said the armored man. "You should go to that one resort on Nal Hutta on the way home!"
"Shut your mouth or I'll shut it permanently", said the Zabrak. "At least Rossie got us some good chow. Eat it while it's hot".
"Whatever", said the armored man, who then took off his mask to reveal a scarred Bothan who had dark black fur and blood red eyes, which could take the bravery out of any man. The Bothan then reached for his fork when he accidentally spilled his cup of Jawa juice.
"Ah hell!" yelled the Bothan. "It's happened every meal today!"
"Don't worry", said CX-PX. "I'll clean it up". He then used his apron to wipe up the mess while he intently listened in on their conversation.
"Why are we going back home?" asked the Bothan.
"Quit calling it home, Voren", said the Zabrak. "Call it Coruscant- that's what the ancients used to call it."
"Same damn thing", said Voren.
"Where was I...", exclaimed the Zabrak. "Oh yeah! I was going to test the Hydrolica bomb there".
"WHAT?!?!" yelled Voren. "That's where our base of operations is!"
"Not now you fool", said the Zabrak. "We're going to 575 B.F.A."
"Why then?" asked Voren.
"Is your head as thick as your mane?" asked the Zabrak. "That's when the Knights of the Force started!! Without them, we would have no troubles. We're going back during the Great Battle, and we're going to release it".
"How do you know it'll work?" asked Voren.
"Tyanika told me", said the Zabrak. "I have faith in that". While that conversation was going on, CX-PX was still cleaning the Jawa juice, and Aayla heard every minute of it.
"Due to these words uttered by Terrorous", said Aayla. "We believe we have discovered his new plans. He supposedly has Dyaka Tyanika, the inventor of Hyperspace. We believe Dyaka told him of the Hyper Bomb, a legendary torpedo that used hyperspace itself to create more devastation than any other kind of weapon imagined."
"What are we going to do then?" asked a Kubaz knight. Aayla installed a camera on CX-PX so that she could listen to Terrorous' conversation with Voren. She then became aware of their doings and plans, and now to stop them. She and Kaldo spent a whole day planning these actions, which she was telling to the Knights of the Force.
"We are to travel back to the Great Battle", said Aayla. "We will pilot SV-5 O-Wing Fighters and attack every battle cruiser that comes into range. CX-PX wasn't able to determine what the ship looked like, so we must destroy each and every one".
"That wasn't part of the plan", shouted Kaldo. "We must not let Tyanika die!"
"I'm sorry", said Aayla. "We can't afford to risk more of our people for a rescue."
"But how do we know they didn't capture him before he invented hyperspace?" asked Kaldo. "We might destroy the entire universe!"
"Sorry for that interruption", said Aayla. "You have an hour to get ready before we launch the O-Wings. Thank you". Everyone then left the room, except Aayla and Kaldo.
"You just interrupted my speech", said Aayla. "You should be ashamed of yourself".
"But I'm not", said Kaldo. "We had an agreement. You said we would rescue Tyanika no matter what the cost!"
"I slept on it", said Aayla, "and I decided that it would be best if we just ignore the matter and concentrate on the mission".
"Hyperspace was the greatest invention ever made in this galaxy", said Kaldo. "Because of it, wars ended, peace broke out, and exploration began. I will not let you throw that away!"
"If Terrorous launches that bomb", said Aayla, "none of us would be here! He will rule the future!!"
"Better he rule the future than the apocalypse", said Kaldo. He then walked away to his O-Wing and rubbed the surface. The O-Wings had flat cockpit with a ring around it, hence the name.
"Don't let me down, baby", said Kaldo. "Perit must know of the CPG and their secrets. The future of the galaxy depends on it".
