Chapter 4: Greetings Lord Sidious
Upon Sidious's arrival the whole separatist council was on the landing platform to greet him. Respectful greetings never mattered to him and they never would, this one was irritating because he had to get a jump start on the Republic. The Jedi would come looking for him and they would bring an army of clones with them… clones. Order 66. As far as anyone knew Palpatine was still legally Chancellor of the Republic.
The clones, they were programmed to obey the Chancellor without question regardless of if he was actually the enemy of the Republic. The Jedi could still be destroyed. He needed to get to a communications center immediately.
" Greetings Lord Sidious." Nute Gunray said as Sidious exited his ship." Silence viceroy, follow me."
" Yes milord."
" Silence."
Sidious was quite irritated now. One gets that way when one is extremely anxious. Sidious of course was. He rushed into the Mustafar control room, the idiotic CIS council still on his tail muttering to themselves that he was mad. Normally he would have snapped their necks but he really didn't have time.
Using the aid of the force he speedily dialed in a frequency and an image of Commander Cody on Utapau sprang up.
" Chancellor we have destroyed General Grevious and the droid army is at half strength."
" Silence Cody. Leave the droids be, let them run. Now listen to me, relay the following message to every clone commander on the front lines with a Jedi general."
" Yes sir, relaying now."
" The time has come, execute order sixty six."
" It has been relayed milord."
" Excellent now you must execute it as well."
" It will be done milord."
Very short chapter I know. But it has a cliff hanger. Please review.
