Chapter 128 - Back To Work (1/2)

”You... I can feel the Force around you... not in you... around... following but never touching... watching but never moving... yes... you, you are important... but you will never change the future... you only moves towards it, another piece of the dark lord... but maybe... maybe...”

This time, Dageer was utterly confused by what the lizard was saying. What did he mean by saying the Force surrounded Dageer? Wasn't this the thing only jedis could use? But the lizard just ignored Dageer's confusion.

”You... you will have influence... for good or bad, only time can say... you need to be careful... using the Force is a blessing you don't have, but it revolves around you... and it affects you and those close to you... you... you... be careful... go back, and be careful... be careful... be careful... be careful... be careful...”

The lizard just repeated two words over and over again, but instead of getting upset, Dageer felt relieved. That was because the weird feeling he had been sensing all along had disappeared. He took another look at the white lizard, and saw it had closed its eyes, and was swaying in place.

”Let's go. There is nothing we can get from him.”

”Ehrmm... Sir, are you sure we can leave him like this?”

”He had been here before we arrived. He will do just fine. Let's go. We need to get back to work quickly. Our legion is probably already near the next target.”

”You give the orders.”

”Yes, I do. Move out.”

...

Hell Squad stopped the speeders near the CR90. As soon as Dageer got out of the speeder, Lieutenant Shield came to him.

”Sir, we got the food we needed, but we are low in medical supplies. However, I don't know if we can really find anything here.”

”You are right. Falco!”

”Yes, sir?”

”We are taking off as soon as possible. Fire up the ship.”

”Yes, sir.”

”Lieutenant Shield, come with me. Hell Squad, you too.”

Dageer ordered someone to get the BARC Speeders inside the cargo compartment of the CR90, and told a few clones to follow him. They moved through the corridors of the ship easily, and arrived at the command bridge. Dageer signaled to Brain, who went ahead and turned on the hologram projector.

He typed on the table, and a blue hologram of a planet disappeared.

”This is Mygeeto. A cold but important planet for both Republic and Separatist. And it is where our next battle will be. Just before we were attacked in Duracnar, Commander Keeli send me the battle plans. If the fleet followed standard protocol, after we split, they must have continued to Mygeeto. Our transmitter is broken, so there is no way to confirm this, but we are going to there, and hoping that they are on Mygeeto. Falco, are we ready to take off?”

”Yes, sir.”

”Then do it. I sent the coordinates to the ship's computer.”

”Yes, sir.”

The reason why Dageer wanted to leave Iktotch so badly was because of the lizard. He didn't know if it was just coincidence that they had stopped at Iktotch and found the old white lizard, but it was getting harder and harder for him to believe in coincidences. So, he wanted to get off the planet as soon as possible. Besides, there was a battle in the galaxy waiting for them.

”Any questions?”

”Is there any blockade around Mygeeto?”

Shield, the lieutenant, seemed to be worried about what was expecting them on Mygeeto. Dageer checked the datapad once again.

”Yes. The fleet will already be engaging with it. We join the fleet, and get back to the action.”
