Cody looked around himself, feeling uneasy. He was surrounded by solid black stone with no exit in sight. Kenobi wasn't with him and his armor and blaster were missing. Something dripped from the ceiling, soaking into the coarse clothing he was wearing. He looked down at his arm. A large red stain sat over his wrist and was starting to spread. Cody pulled back the sleeve, a horrific cut had appeared on his wrist. His blood dripped tto the floor, forming a puddle around his feet. Another drop from the ceiling landed on his shoulder and an unbearable pain shot through his body. His cry of pain echoed off the walls as he fell to his knees. Another drop fell from the ceiling, landing on the top of his leg and another pain shot through his body, laying him out flat. He looked up at the ceiling, not ready for the horror that met his eyes. Hanging from the ceiling by thin ropes around their necks were his closet friends. Rex, Echo, Switch, Odds. Meds. Alpha. Their eyes stared down at him blankly, their irises a cloudy white. A drop of blood fell from Rex, landing on Cody's left shoulder.

Obi-wan woke with a start. The storm was starting to calm down outside, but that wasn't what had woken him. A strong evil presence was nearby. Obi-wan stood, lightsaber in hand. A groan from the other side of the gave drew his eyes away from the entrance. Cody was tossing and turning badly, his blankets tangled around him. He gave out a small cry of pain and Obi-wan realised that Cody had somehow made it all the way to the fire. Obi-wan rushed over, dragging Cody away from the ashes,"Wake up, Commander!"

Cody didn't respond, just fought against Obi-wan's grip. Obi-wan set him down, placing a hand on Cody's forehead. He could feel the evil presence trying to get into Cody's mind, but Cody was fighting it. Obi-wan smiled and closed his eyes. He let the Force flow through him and surround him and Cody. Cody calmed down beneath his touch and the presence disappeared from around Cody, but it was not that far away. Cody's eyes flew open, sweat completely soaking him. His eyes darted around the cave, falling on his armor not far away and his blaster within reach and finally on Obi-wan,"Wh-what happened?"

"A dark presence tried to take control of you,"Obi-wan grabbed the med kit. "While you fought it, you ended up in the fire. Thankfully, I was awake and pulled you out. Are you always so accident prone?"

Cody chuckled weakly,"Not until you came along."

Obi-wan nodded as he treated the burns on Cody,"What did you see?"

Cody sat up, looking away from Obi-wan. Obi-wan had been around clones enough to know that they never felt fear, but here before him, one was. Cody took a deep breath,"I was surrounded by black stone. There was no way out. My men hung above me, dead. I couldn't do anything. Then something grabbed me and started dragging me down this hall made out of black stone. I could see a door at the end. It started to open, then white light filled my vision and I woke up."

"Will you be alright?"

"I have to be," Cody said softly.

OBi-wan glanced at the entrance to the cave,"We're about to get some company."

Cody grabbed his armor, grabbing a chest plate. Something heavy slammed into his chest and he was thrown into the wall as a shadow entered the cave. The pressure built on his chest, cutting off his oxygen supply. His vision started going black as droids filed in behind the shadow.

"Hello, Obi-wan. Have you traded you padiwan for a pet?" a cold voice asked as the shadow threw back it's hood revealing a grey haired man.

"Dooku," Obi-wan hissed as he glanced at Cody. He was struggling to breath. "So it was you."

"Of course, Obi-wan. You can't get away from me that easily and now you brought me some more entertainment. Who is your new friend?" Dooku moved over to Cody. "Ah, a clone. No wonder I couldn't get into it's mind."

"Leave him alone, Dooku,"Obi-wan growled, igniting his lightsaber.

"I wouldn't do that," Dooku smiled, lifting his hand and slowly squeezing it closed. Cody started to gasp harder, struggling against the invisible grip that held him to the cave wall. "Come with me quietly and I won't hurt your friend here."

"Get out...of here...Kenobi...don't worry...about me...I'll...be...fine,"Cody gasped.

"What will it be, Obi-wan. Leave now and let this thing die or stay and give it a few more hours?" Dooku chuckled.

Obi-wan's eyes darted to the entrance, then back to Cody. He sighed and threw his lightsaber away from himself,"I'll stay."
