The post: Armz
Months pass in their little output, a little base on the outskirts of Naboo. There, 3113 and the squad make do with exercise and practice. Though they were assigned to General Krell, they have yet to meet the Jedi.
3113 sitting at the table in the lounge "I'm board, when are we gonna see the battlefield?" He asked stretching out his arms around his head, he had been working on something with his brother 3112.
3112 looking up from the datapad "I don't know vod, but let's get this project ready by then."
The project that they are doing is a blueprint for a blaster. It was designed to be twice the size of their standard rifles. 3112 is the one who is doing the math. And 3113 had the wild idea.
"I'm sorry vod, but we have been sitting here for a while."
"Yeah, okay. Let's see what everyone else is doing." 3112 said as he puts down the datapad.
Both got up and went out around the base. 3120 now known as Foolhardy to the squad, was on comm with someone. He doesn't notice the twins. He seems quite busy with the call. So on they went on, finding 3155 in bed taking a nap before his shift. He has night watch in the guard tower. For the day, 3140 named Seek stands watch. So they decided to meet him.
"Hey Seek, you spot anything interesting out there?" 3113 waves at him.
"Well guys, I have seen some cridders here and there. But no droids of any kind." Seek said as he peers though the scopes.
"Oh well, I guess we don't get to fight any clankers today." 3113 sighs.
A comm beep on the console aleted the clones. It was Foolhardy.
"Everyone come to the comm room, we got news." He commands.
"Right away sir."
--------
In the comm room, the squad gather for the announcement. Foolhardy feels nervous after the call. He never felt this kind of pressure before.
"Next week, we will finally get to see our general. He said that he needed to see if we are worthy. He didn't give me any explanation for what that is exactly. But let's get ready for anything." He explained. "Question?"
"What does he look like?" Ditt wonders.
"Well, thats the thing, it was his offer that called me."
"What? Seriously?" Seek exclaimed.
"The only thing that we can go on is his reputation. Wich is he is known for achieving victory by going straight to the enemy."
"I guess we got our work cut out." 3112 said with a huff. He already has second thoughts about this Jedi's strategy.
"I guess so vod." 3113 said back, excited about this Jedi.
--------
The squad take their time with their exercises to be ready for their Jedi.
In the guard tower, Ditt and Seek take bets on hitting the farthest target.
"Bet you 10 credits you can't hit that target eight clicks away."
"Wanna bet?" Ditt lines up the shot, a crudely painted flimsy target hanging in a tree.
Within the next moment, the target gets blasted.
"Pay up Seek."
--------
In the garage of the base, Foolhardy and the twins do strength training with the random stuff they have.
"Wonder what our first mission will be like with our Jedi?" 3113 ask while lifting up a heavy box.
"I think that we will fight the clankers with him by our side in glory." Foolhardy said in a foolish way.
"He might just watch us from behind while we engage the enemy ourselves." 3112 said in a more serious tone. Doing push-ups with a box on his back.
"In either case, we will be fighting those droids for sure." 3113 said.
--------
Outside the base, the twins hang out under a tree. The tree had grown twisted and wide. It gave the clones a place to meet and talk.
3113 brought some sweets to share with brother. He doesn't like the idea of a clone going without.
"Tomorrow is the big day vode. We will finally get to see our Jedi." 3113 said with the dream of battle.
3112 takes a piece. "Uhh yeah. Hey brother, do you want to do our number fortunes?" He has a thing for the numbers. On top of his math skills, he decided to use it on their numbers for a look at their fate.
"Uh ok, that sounds fun." 3113 isn't good with numbers but admires his brothers understanding of it.
"I have calculated our numbers. You got an 8, and I got a 7."
"And what does that mean?"
"Well, the number 8 is said to be the balanced one. This number is considered to be very strong."
"Wow, what was yours?"
"Ah, yes. The number 7 is known for thinking all the time. How fitting in a way. Also it is very lucky."
"How nice... What about names?"
"I don't include any names as we are not made with them." He said reminding himself that they are made, not born...
"I think I understand that brother. Do we ever get to have names of our own?"
"Most clones would rather have their names earned. Makes it mean something to them."
"Well I hope we get to earn ours." 3113 said leaning back on the tree.
--------
The general's ship makes its landing at the base. The squad gather in line for their Jedi. Hoping that their hard work pays off for his approval.
The doors open and the walkway goes down. The steam clouds up the steps as a huge four armed Jedi emerged from the ship.
Foolhardy makes a solute, and the rest do the same.
"General Krell, welcome to Naboo base number 45!" Foolhardy shouted still soluting.
"Thank you Sargent number 3120." The huge Jedi said coldly with force. The squad is taking aback by that, did he not know his name?
"I see you have been working hard for me, but is it enough for what I got for you clones?"
After his inspection of the squad, seeing how strong they are and how far they can shoot. He finds them at least worthy of his mission he has in mind. But is it good for the squad?
Fanart Friday: The mark of betrayal.
Armz volunteers for the Dark Trooper project. He felt betrayed by Med leaving the Empire. The betrayal was an emotional one. It took him several years to come to a decision, as his own body was failing him, the Dark Trooper project. Alone, with the feeling of betrayal from his closest brother growing, he volunteers. He chooses to do so, with the hope of finding brothers like him, willing to remain a trooper. They were made to fight after all.
