1Author's Notes: Sorry for the long wait again. This writers block is killing me. Anyway, this chapter goes to Siejuii's mission so this may be a little lengthy. Keep up those reviews.
Chapter 13: 66
Siejuii's cruiser came out of hyperspace above Kamino. He preceded out of the cruiser in his starfighter and down to the planet. Going through the atmosphere was hard as the severe wind was knocking him all around and then there was having to dodge all the lighting. Once he broke through the atmosphere, he saw all ocean water with only one small outpost among it. He landed on a pad that branched out from it, put up his hood, and got out heading for the door. Once he got there, he was greeted by a female Kaminoin.
"Welcome Master Jedi...to what do we owe the honor of your presence?"
He walked in and bowed, "I'm here to...check up on the next shipment of clones."
"I see...," she looked left and right looking as if something was wrong and started walking, "This way please."
He took notice of her nervousness and followed slightly behind her, "I hope they are coming nicely."
"Yes, as always," she lead him to a small room and opened the door for him, "Please wait here until the Prime Minister arrives. He'll be able to put you up to track with our progress."
He walked in and turned to her, "Why can't I see the Prime Minister now?"
She tensed slightly and thought quickly, "The..Prime Minister is busy at the moment."
He nodded and turned away, "Very well. I shall wait for him."
"If you need anything, please call," she walked away closing the door.
He waited in the room as instructed. He kept watching the violent waters outside his window when he noticed its been almost two hours and still the Prime Minister is nowhere to be seen. He then began to feel an unusual amount of fear. In fact, he began to feel a disturbance in the force, a familiar presence. He had no choice, the minister would have to wait. Siejuii forced opened the door and looked out to both sides. When it was clear, he ran down the hall going closer to the presence. The facility was like a maze to him, a left turn here, a right here, up stairs, across bridges outside the facility; if he was to lose the presence he would become lost in it. In the main cloning building, he stopped hearing footsteps coming to him. He thought quickly and jumped up to the rafters above just as the Prime Minister and two clone troopers came around the corner. To Siejuii's surprise, Count Dooku was with him, untouched by the troopers. He remained quiet as they stopped at a control panel under him.
The prime minister activated the panel and spoke, "As you can see Lord Tyrannus, we incorporated it into their genetic code. It's simply like a program, all you have to do is say the order's code name and they'll know what to do."
Dooku nodded, "Good, good. The Jedi will never see it coming. Oh if only I could be there to see the looks on their faces, when they learn all this time they were siding with their own doom." He let out a soft chuckle.
"Yes, my lord. Now there is, of course, the discussion of our payment..."
Dooku turned to him, "Yes I believe so. As agreed, your planet will remain under its own control as long as you keep developing our soldiers freely. We'll provide you with the...proper trade of goods of course."
"Of course. Then is it agreed?" The prime minister held out his hand.
Dooku took it smiling, "Agreed," he started laughing, "Soon, the Jedi will be taken down by their own soldiers, then all we have to do is move in."
Siejuii was in shock. All this time, he thought, all this time they were working for the Sith. The enemy was right under our nose this whole time and I'm the only one who knows it. He heard enough, he needed to get off the planet and warn the Jedi council immediately. He went to crawl down the beam he was on but his foot pinged against another one and everyone below looked up.
Dooku glared angerly, "He's heard everything, get him!"
The troopers stood there, unable to attack a Jedi. Dooku turned to them and spoke, "Order 66. Kill that Jedi, don't let him off this planet alive!"
The troopers quickly lifted their rifles at the sound of his voice and started firing. Siejuii quickly jumped down from the rafters, activating both lightsabers, and made a run for it. Dooku's voice rang throughout the facility with order 66, causing all the clones to start firing at Siejuii. He ran in the direction of his fighter, taking down all the clones that got in his way, reflecting their blasts back at them. The closer he got to reaching his fighter, the more and more the clones grew in numbers. When he was in the part of the facility that housed the platforms, he was breathing very heavily with sweat dripping off his face, falling to the floor. Yet still, the clones kept coming for him. He looked ahead and saw the door to freedom, but stepping out of the halls were more clones to stop him. He glared at them, anger building from deep down inside. In a fit of rage he charged the entire group swinging madly as they began firing. By pure chance, he took down the first two lines and jumped over the last reaching the door. He ran through and jumped into his ship, taking off as bolts of laser blast hit its underside.
Dooku came out in time to see Siejuii take off. A trooper turned to him, "Shall we pursuit sir?"
He waved a hand, "Do not worry. He won't get away..."
Siejuii went into his cruiser, thinking that the order didn't reach them. He fell out of his ship in front of his troops, "Get us to Courascant...we have to warn the council...," he looked up to see rifles pointed at him.
His eyes widen as one of the troopers spoke, "I'm sorry sir...but we no longer take orders from you."
Siejuii yelled in anger and tried to make one final stand. He jumped just as they started firing and went to the wall on the far side of the hanger. He was running for a computer counsel built inside of it. When he was within 10 feet of it, a laser bolt hit him in his right leg, causing him to stumble. He turned force punching a small group away, but more came in taking their place and kept firing at him. He did all he could to block the lasers. He moved barrels in front of him, used one lightsaber, and tried dodging admist his leg.
He managed to reach the counsel and used the voice activation, "Activate self-destruct. Set for one minute..." a burst of laser blast hit him. He fell from the counsel dead, but his plan was successful. The ship imploded taking all the clones on the ship. It slowly fell to Kamino's oceans, causing a huge wave in all directions. Master Siejuii, died the only Jedi to know the truth before it was too late.
On Courascant, both Sonic and Yoda felt something wrong at the very moment it happened. Angel turned to Sonic seeing him looking worried about something, "What's wrong?"
He looked over at her shaking his head, "Just a small tremor...nothing to worry about," he turned to the window, "...nothing to worry about..."
