Chapter 5

Captain Emotion walked down a hallway clenching to the spies' DC-15A blaster. The captain has hunted several of the galaxies creatures and has also played bait numerous times, but for once in his life Emotion was having second thoughts about being bait.

"The creature has moved to the floor you are currently on captain," said the computer.

"Thank you for the hint computer," Emotion said, as he turned and continued to walk backwards as if making sure he wasn't being followed.

"Well, captain where is your "intelligent" creature?" asked General Grievous.

Emotion could hear the impatience and anger in the general's voice.

"It has moved on to the floor we're on" Emotion said, as he looked left and right before turning a corner. "And stay hidden if it senses you and the others it might know it's a trap,"

There was no response from the general as Captain Emotion continued to walk down the hallway acting like a nervous clone, after all a clone stuck on a ship full of droids that want to kill you would be very nerve wreaking. Emotion walked a few more step down the hall before stopping and bring the clone's communicator.

"This is clone spy CT-572 does anyone read me." Emotion said into the communicator, perfectly mimicking the voice of the spy

"Quit it captain before you do reach the Republic." Grievous ordered angrily

"Blast" Emotion shouted angrily, still mimicking the clone. "They must be jamming my signal,"

"Ha Ha very funny captain now get back to leading the creature to us," Grievous ordered.

"The creature is on the move and heading to your position captain," the computer told him.

Captain Emotion resumed his walk, slowly heading towards the elevator. As he turned down the next hallway he heard what sounded like something metal hitting the floor. Emotion turned slowly walked around the corner, blaster ready to fire. He examined the hall to only find the cover of a vent on the floor.

Looks like our creature has decided to come out and play. Emotion thought.

Emotion approached the vent covering, having decided to play dumb, and lowered his weapon. As Emotion stopped at the vent covering, he heard something drop down behind him followed by a small hiss. Emotion slowly turned around to face what was behind him. He then found himself facing with a tall, black creature. The creatures head was elongated with no eye spots visible. Its body was slender with a roughly human biomechanical upper body. It had six fingers, two thumbs on each side of the hands, and its index and middle fingers were conjoined along with the ring and little fingers being conjoined as well. It walked on its hind legs which were sleek and skeletal. On the creatures back were several dorsal spines. Its tail was roughly the length of its body with a ridge of spikes along the tail to its point, which appeared to be a large knife like blade.

While Emotion was examining the creature, and somewhat admiring it, the creature was examining him as well to see if he was a threat or not, Emotion then reached for his stun gun, which was fully charged and on high, attached to the armor's belt and fired at the creature. The creature let out a screech of pain before falling to the floor and curling up into a ball. From behind Emotion, General Grievous, 1 and 2, came rushing up with the electrical cage following behind while several security droids came down the hallway the captain was originally heading.

"Good work Captain." Grievous said resting a hand on the captain's left shoulder. "You grab the creature and throw it in the cage,"

A single security droid approached the creature, when suddenly as the droid was about to grab the creature it impaled the droid in the chest. As the creature rose to its feet 1, 2 and the other security droids raised their guns.

"Don't shoot it," ordered Emotion, as he raised his hand.

The creature stood its ground looking for a way to escape, when suddenly a grappler droid grabbed the creature from behind and gave it a small shock with its pincers. The creature struggled but the grappler droid's bear hug was to strong.

"See general," Emotion said calmly stepping out of the path to the electro cage. "I have everything under control,"

The grappler droid walked awkwardly to the cage before throwing the creature though the opened door. The creature hit the floor with a thud and quickly got back up on all fours and attempted to jump out through the opening but the door closed before it could. The creature let out an angry hiss before swiping at the electrical bars, only to receive a small shock.

"Put it in a separate OOSR," Emotion ordered the droids

"Roger, Roger," Number 1 and 2 said together.

Number 1, 2, the grappler droid and the security droids walked off with the creature in the electro cage to put it in a separate and larger OOSR. Grievous said nothing as he turned and headed toward elevator, while captain Emotion stood there alone trying to match the creature to one of thousands of organic life forms in his data banks to the creature he had just seen for sometime before heading back to his private quarters to change back into his armor.
