Disclaimer: I don't own anything this is just a story for fun.
Vlad sat behind his desk going over a report that Wraith had written about Vicky's actions and corruption. The general was both shocked and angry that a high ranked officer like Vicky committed these actions. It was an utter disgrace. Vlad had called Shallowgrave and ordered him to put Vicky in the worst cell of the Tartarus and put her through extreme amounts of torture and discomfort, until he arrived at the prison himself to deal with Vicky. It appeared there was a quit a bit of corruption in the military that needed to be sniffed out and dealt with. Vlad couldn't have corrupt people working for him and ruin everything he worked so hard to accomplish.
Several hours later, Vlad arrived at the Tartarus and was taken to Vicky's cell. Vicky had numerous cuts and bruises on her face and her hair was a mess. When she saw Vlad enter the cell, Vicky's eyes went wide in fear and she became very pale.
"Hello Vicky." Said Vlad as he strolled towards Vicky.
"Wait! Please I didn't really know who Wraith was! If I knew she was close to you I wouldn't have tried to kill and give myself over to you and the higher up officers I swear! Please I'm sorry! Don't kill me!" Cried Vicky as she backpedaled to the back of her cell.
"Oh I'm not only mad about what you tried to do to Wraith. I'm mad about your entire corrupt career. You have brought shame and dishonor to both me and the Empire!" Said Vlad with an intense glare.
"I know, but I can do better! I can change and bring glory to the Empire!" Begged Vicky.
"I highly doubt that." Said Vlad as he pulled out his lightsaber and activated it.
"No please! I can give you the names of some really corrupt officers, who are higher ranked then me and were taking cuts of the money I was making!" Said Vicky.
"I'm listening." Said Vlad.
"Commander Kennedy and her two Lieutenant Commanders Abrams and Johnson. They all knew what I was doing and they all took a cut of the money I made and looked the other way. They practically encouraged my corruption." Said Vicky.
"Kennedy huh? I never did like that woman." Said Vlad.
"Oh she is a thousand times more corrupt then me. I'm happy to share everything I know." Said Vicky.
Vicky then began to explain all of Kennedy and her subordinates corrupt practices and dealings. She told every dirty secret she knew.
"That is a lot. I appreciate everything you just told me." Said Vlad as he turned off his lightsaber and began to walk away.
"Does this mean you'll release me?" Asked Vicky.
"Not yet. There are a few things I must do first." Said Vlad as he left the cell.
Vlad went to the conference room and made a few calls summoning Kennedy, Abrams, and Johnson to the prison. A few hours later the trio arrived and entered the conference room and sat with Vlad around a round table.
"Why have you summoned us?" Asked Kennedy.
"I just had a little talk talk with a prisoner named Vicky and she just told a great many things. Apparently the three of you are very corrupt and have been doing many illegal things behind my back. I'm very disappointed in all of you." Said Vlad.
"Hold on are you really going to believe the words of a corrupt officer like Vicky? She could have lied to you, to save her own skin." Said Kennedy.
"Oh I believe that Vicky was telling the truth to me. I can be very persuasive." Said Vlad as he stood up and face the three officers.
"So what are you going to do with us?" Asked Kennedy as her body tensed up.
"Well I certainly can't have corrupt officers like you working for me and I need to make an example out of you and send a message to any other corrupt officers in the Empire. So I decided to just simply end your lives with my own hands." Said Vlad as he pulled out his lightsaber and activated it.
Both Abrahams and Johnson shot to their feet and pulled out their blasters and began firing at Vlad. Vlad easily deflected the shots and stabbed Abrahams in the chest killing him instantly, before he turned to Johnson and sliced off his hand and then stabbed him in the back killing him. The general then strutted over to Kennedy who remained sitting and frozen in her chair.
"Vlad...please...we can talk about this..." Said Kennedy.
"No." Said Vlad swinging his lightsaber.
The blade cut through Kennedy's neck and her head toppled to the ground and hit the ground. Vlad turned off his lightsaber and he told the guards to get Vicky and bring her to the room. Vicky was brought to the room and saw the dead officers and threw up on the floor.
"You're free to go and serve the Empire, though you're back to being a Stormtrooper. I strongly suggest you learn from what happened to these officers. I will not tolerate corruption Vicky and if you ever go near or harm either Wraith or Jazz you will meet the same fate. Understand?" Said Vlad.
Vicky nodded her head.
"Good." Said Vlad before he left the room.
Vicky looked at the dead officers and shuddered before left the room to get clean up and get outfitted with new Stormtrooper armor. As she did this Vicky wondered if Hotep Ra had used the equipment she had given him and used it to help capture any top Rebels for his little hunting plan and if she would still get a large amount money. Until then Vicky just had to work hard and keep her nose clean.
