The Plague Ship 2
Chapter 18 meeting up
Authors notes I don't own Star Wars George Lucas does and a warning if anyone reading this hasn't read The Plague Ship 1 then I suggest you read that now otherwise you wont know what's going on at all in this fic. And warning only the first 4 chapters of this fic were betaed as my beta had some personal things to sort out apologies for any mistakes in spelling in grammer you will see from now on in this fic. And i recommand all my readers check out the fics written by SaphirePhoenix101 and Appa Appa Away as they are two of the best writers on this site in my opinion.
Chanso armoury
Shadow and Marlaia got to the armoury and after Marlaia found herself some new armour and new weapons they decided to search for other members of Beta Squad.
Shadow and Marlaia then decided to head to the main army barracks and look for their team members there. As Shadow and Marlaia headed to the tram system to get to the barracks Shadow noticed that Marlaia was looking slightly nervous as if she was expecting another illusion to happen right then and there.
Shadow then assured Marlaia that if there was an illusion he would end it like he did the last time. As the two of them got on the tram and set the destination for the main barracks Marlaia starting counting how much ammo she had and Shadow didn't say a word as the tram sped off heading to the barracks.
Eclipse class super star destroyer
The Director sat at his desk in his office and as his hands shook while the time counted down to the Emperors deadline he took out a cigar, lit it and took a drag in an effort to calm his nerves and it did for the most part.
He was slightly worried about the mission Beta and Zulu Squad were currently doing on the Chanso research ship. He was worried that there was chance that the squads would fail in their mission. And there was also the promise that the Emperor made to destroy the Chanso if the squads failed in their mission.
All the years spent repairing all the damage that Mandaloran flagship had gotten from the battle at Malachor 5 and all the years spent bringing the ship forward in technology 4 thousand years ahead of it. All the research, all the developments in weaponry and science on that ship. Nearly 2 hundred years worth of research could be gone in a matter of hours. And all the trillions of credits spent on the ship. All the double dealing in the Black Market and threats to the Exchange to get the money they needed would all be for nothing.
The Director also thought of their plans to assassinate the Emperor if the squads failed to destroy the Chanso. The Shade Organization had been made to protect the Republic and now after so many years of war and regime change from Jedi to Sith and back to Jedi again, The Shade Organization now served and protected whoever was in control of the universe regardless if it was Republic, Jedi or the Sith.
But never in the Shade Organization's 25 thousand years of existence had they ever killed a head of state of who they serving unless it was revealed they were working for the enemy.
The Director knew that if the Emperor was killed that the Shades had either make sure no one ever for the rest of time connected the Shades to his death not even their own members or if the Emperor survived the attempt against him, the Shade's could serve the Jedi again, but that would be impossible there were less than 100 Jedi alive right and none would help the Shades.
But it was than the Director realised there was a third opition, he could take the Shade Organization and go rogue. It was very risky but it was doable and then the Director made up his mind if the Chanso was destroyed and the Emperor survived their attempt on his life the Shade Organization would go rogue and serve no one.
The Director then finished his cigar and lit another feeling more calm and less nervous with each passing second.
Chanso tram system
Shadow and Marlaia ready their weapons as the tram arrived at the barracks and they saw the hallway and platform was bright and spotless just like the rest of the ship they saw so far.
As both of them walked down a hallway they both saw more creatures from earlier walking around minding their own business and suddenly Marlaia opened fire on the creatures with her new minigun and killed all the creatures in the hallway to Shadows shock and disbelief.
Shadow then said to Marlaia "Why the hell did you do that for Marlaia they weren't doing anything to us at all nor were they going to. Why did massacre them?".
Marlaia only reloaded her weapon and replied "I felt like it Shadow. That's reason enough, now let's move and find the others".
Marlaia then moved forward with Shadow following her and soon they found the door to the main barracks already blasted open with a demo charge and they knew that one of the squad was nearby or had been here the only question was who.
They both entered the room and saw the room was like everything else clean and brightly lit. Suddenly both people heard a noise and looked at the source and they saw Serpent at another door holding his gun at them for a moment before he lowered it.
Shadow then said "Serpent where are the others. We know Boomer is dead but where are the others?".
Serpent replied "I found Eye's body earlier and I saw Gunner's remains in the engine room. I haven't seen or heard anything from Data. So I think we have to assume he's dead as well or captured. So what should we do now, sir?".
Shadow didn't say a word for a minute before he said "We will finish the mission. I think our best bet will be this. Serpent, can you get to the engine room?". When Serpent nodded Shadow continued by saying "When you get there rig the engines to overload, that will destroy the ship when I activate the engines from my detonator. Meanwhile myself and Marlaia will go to the bridge and deal with the test subjects. Once we complete our objective we'll go to an escape pod and get out of here alive ".
Serpent and Marlaia agreed with the plan and Shadow said "Alright let's end this right here right now". The three of them then left the barracks and headed back to the tram platform.
Chanso bridge
The two men stood on the bridge and the man on the left said "They are mounting their final attack against us. Get your creatures ready for battle and make sure they guard the engine room with their lives. I don't want a repeat of what happened last time to happen. And you will stay here when their leader comes you will need my help to defeat him this time. I watched your fight against him before during the first attempt to destroy us. This time we will be ready for them".
The other man looked at his brother angrily before he nodded and said "When they come their leaders head will end up as a trophy on my wall". His brother didn't say a word as he turned and stared out the window at space.
