Obi-Wan’s smile wasn’t encouraging.<\/em><\/p>\nIt was during the next battle he had gone full Dragon to protect Cody and his men.\u00a0 The Intel had been devastatingly wrong, and after ripping to shreds at least three Intelligence officers, he discovered they had gotten the information directly from the Chancellor’s office.<\/p>\n
Add in his recent conversations with his Padawan, he was starting to see who was truly leading this war.\u00a0 The implications were devastating, so he sent Mace a communication, trusting Captain Rex to hand it over personally.\u00a0 He also had no fear anyone would be able to intercept the message, there was an advantage of communicating in a language no one believed existed.<\/p>\n
He knew Cody was worried about this particular mission, it felt like a trap.\u00a0 He just didn’t know for who, Grievous or himself.<\/p>\n
Maybe both.<\/p>\n
Kenobi landed at the designated area, then proceeded to get out of the fighter, and made his way to the approaching welcome party.\u00a0 He gave them a small smile, making a show that he just needed some fuel, before heading back out.\u00a0 The leader of the group nodded sagely, gesturing to workers nearby, who proceeded to take care of the starship, then leaned forward and quietly gave the needed information.<\/p>\n
Grievous, along with members of the Seperatist Leaders, were hiding in higher levels.\u00a0 Dooku, it would seem, was expected but there was no clarification on that information.\u00a0 Obi-Wan gave a nod, assured him no harm would come to his people, indicating they should bunker down, his men would take care of the Separatists.<\/p>\n
Obi-Wan felt the call of his smaller cousins.\u00a0 The wranglers stared at him, as the lizards started pushing to get closer to the Jedi.\u00a0 He kinda gave them a shrug, playing on the ‘it’s a Jedi thing’.\u00a0 The one who wiggled her way to the front, stole his heart.\u00a0 He gave her a pet, placing his head to her nose.\u00a0 “Hello Boga.”<\/p>\n
The wranglers just shook their heads, and let him ride off.<\/p>\n
Boga was eager to please, and chirped excitedly.\u00a0 She led him right to the Separatists, they smelled odd, and weren’t nice.\u00a0 She took him to the high areas, as to give him a better view of what was going on down below.\u00a0 He slid off her saddle, giving her a pat on the neck, watched Grievous pace around for a few moments.\u00a0 He slipped off his cloak, tossed it over the saddle.\u00a0 “Wait here little one, I call for you when I need you.”<\/p>\n
She pranced slightly, giving him a soft chirp.\u00a0 When he jumped right into the middle of the ones who smelled bad, she shook her head – something wasn’t right with him.<\/p>\n
“Hello there.”<\/p>\n
He could almost feel his Mate’s exasperation.<\/p>\n
Moving into Soresu defense stance, he waited for Grievous to start spotting threats, he wasn’t disappointed.\u00a0 With ease he countered each of them, flirting and teasing, as he made his way through the guards.\u00a0 Out of the corner of his eye, he could see a few of the Seperatist leaders, most of the smaller ones – the ones that could be sacrificed if the trap hadn’t worked.<\/p>\n
The moment the 212th landed, Grievous ran, leaving behind those he was supposed to protect.\u00a0 Without a thought he called for Boga, and chased after the cyborg.\u00a0 The two slid down the sheer cliffs, scrambling until they landed a few levels down.<\/p>\n
He was going to have to do this old fashion way.<\/p>\n
He dismounted from Boga, unhooked his lightsaber and tied it to the saddle, then wrapped his belt and gear into his cloak securing it with the weapon.\u00a0 “Go find Cody.”\u00a0 With a slight use of the Force he pushed an image of the Commander, with an intent for her to find him.\u00a0 She pranced on all fours, chirped then ran off.<\/p>\n
He closed his eyes, centered himself, ignoring the chaos around him, and when he opened them, he let out a roar, chasing after Grievous.\u00a0 As he ran through the complex, he took out droids as he went, there were cheers as he ran by, though some of the shinies had come to a stand still, not sure what to make of the red Dragon running havoc through the Seppie Army.<\/p>\n
Obi-Wan jumped off the ledge, sliding down until he caught up with Grievous’ vehicle.\u00a0 Not being able to stop, he slammed into it sending them tumbling over the edge onto one of the landing platforms.<\/p>\n
He slowly stood, towering over the Seperatist General.\u00a0 “Surrender.”<\/p>\n
“Kenobi!”\u00a0 Grievous coughed as he stared at the creature. “So it is true.”<\/p>\n
“That I’m more handsome?”\u00a0 He circled around the cyborg. “Then yes it is true.”<\/p>\n
The cough got worse. “My people hunted Dragons for centuries.”<\/p>\n
“Then I owe them for their hospitality.”\u00a0 He snarled, teeth showing.\u00a0 “You’re beaten.”<\/p>\n
“Never!” He pulled his lightsabers, advancing onto the Dragon.\u00a0 “I’ll slice you into parts and sell them to the highest bidder.”<\/p>\n
Obi-Wan dodge one of the lightsabers, hissing slightly as another caught one of his back legs.\u00a0 He whipped his tail around hitting Grievous in the chest slamming him backwards.<\/p>\n
“We’re heading for your home planet Kenobi, and will hunt down all the Dragons\u2026”\u00a0 The mechanical voice screamed as the plasma flame engulfed his frame.\u00a0 Obi-Wan slowly walked over to the dying Kaleesh, his paw landing on his chest.\u00a0 The coughing became a gurgle.\u00a0 “You can’t hide now.”<\/p>\n
“It’s over.”\u00a0 His large head moved down to the dying cyborg.\u00a0 “I know who Sidious is, and I will end him.”\u00a0 And with one last cough, the once Warlord died under the paw of a mythical creature.<\/p>\n
“Sir.”\u00a0 Obi-Wan glanced up to see Waxer and Boil, moving towards him.\u00a0 “We’ve secured the area, and have captured the Seperatist leaders.\u00a0 They were making their way to a shuttle, on one of the higher levels.\u00a0 It would seem some of the local lizards, escaped their pens and chased them down.”<\/p>\n
The grin on the Dragon was positively viscous.\u00a0 “Then they deserve some treats.”<\/p>\n
“I would agree, sir.”\u00a0 Boil shook his head, then looked down at Grievous.\u00a0 “Is he really dead?\u00a0 Could this war actually end?”<\/p>\n
“We’re close.”\u00a0 He lifted his paw, to flick off the remains, before stepping away from the once Seperatist General and moving closer he leaned down to nuzzle his men.<\/p>\n
“We’re with you to the end.”\u00a0 Both assured him, giving pets, making the Tooka purr softly.<\/p>\n
“Let’s go find the Commander, I’m sure he wants to yell at me.”\u00a0 He shook his head, some of the dirt and grime flinging off of him.<\/p>\n
“He saw the slide, and when the lizard showed up with your gear, he lost his much earned composure for about ten seconds.”\u00a0 Waxer chuckled at the memory.<\/p>\n
The Commander stared at the lizard who had barreled through a line of men.\u00a0 It chirped at him, then presented it’s wares.\u00a0 Cody had ripped his bucket off, stared at the thing, cursed the General, before taking a breath and calmed down.\u00a0 He unhooked the gear, set it aside, gave the creature a pet who chirped at him, and the Commander just nodded as if totally agreeing that Obi-Wan was just not right in the head.\u00a0 It was Mythic who took the reins and led the lizard away promising to bring her to the General later.\u00a0 Somehow the whole incident was just a normal day for the 212th.<\/p>\n
“Be prepared for some glares, growls, and pointed looks.\u00a0 And we may not mention the limp sir, but I’m sure Snap will push the Commander out of the way to get to you first.”<\/p>\n
“Oh, I’m sure he’ll punish me when we’re alone.”\u00a0 Obi-Wan’s pranced slightly, head shaking in mirth.<\/p>\n
“Kinky.”\u00a0 Boil patted the Dragon as they made their way through the complex.<\/p>\n
“General!” Whoever betted on Snap getting to the General first, won a lot of credits.\u00a0 “Don’t even think of hiding your injuries, I could see the burn mark on your leg as you approached.”<\/p>\n
“My dear baar’ur<\/em>, it’s a small wound.\u00a0 With the Dragon’s healing powers, and a moment of quiet meditation I’ll be fine.”<\/p>\nHe crossed his arms, shook his head, and ignored the di’kut<\/em>.\u00a0 He would let Cody deal with his Mate while he examined the wound.<\/p>\nObi-Wan sighed, but let his medic do his job.\u00a0 “Commander.”<\/p>\n
“General.”\u00a0 He had his bucket off, giving his Mate a disappointed glare.\u00a0 “Good job taking out Grievous, but don’t think for a second we’re not having words later.”<\/p>\n
“I look forward to it.”\u00a0 He purred head tilting down to rub against him.<\/p>\n
“Oh you are not sweet talking your way out of it, sir<\/em>.”<\/p>\nThe way the sir dripped with sarcasm, was enough to know that Obi-Wan was likely going to get tied to a bed, then lectured before his Mate drove him to the edge with need.\u00a0 He shivered in anticipation.<\/p>\n
“We have the Seperatist Leaders locked in a cell, guards on a rotating shift.\u00a0 I will contact Commander Bly, for backup.\u00a0 We’re going to need a heavily armed escort while moving them back to Coruscant<\/em>.”<\/p>\n“I agree.\u00a0 Let’s round up the rest of the army, then send in our report.”\u00a0 Obi-Wan glanced towards the cliffs.\u00a0 “The last remaining droids are upon the tenth level.\u00a0 I’ll lead the charge, Ghost with me, and we’ll finish this up.”<\/p>\n
Cody nodded.\u00a0 “Your gear is stored, I have your Lightsaber.\u00a0 The lizard is in the back, eager to see you.”<\/p>\n
“Boga is a good girl.”\u00a0 He lifted his head, sending out a few chirps, smiling when he heard her answer.\u00a0 “Let’s finish this Commander.”<\/p>\n
“Yes sir.”\u00a0 He patted the Dragon on the nose, then slammed his bucket back on, as the General ran for the path that went up the cliffside.\u00a0 It was actually big enough for the local lizards to use, but Obi-Wan was able to easily navigate the winding trail.<\/p>\n
He was ready to order Boil and Waxer to follow, when his comm beeped.<\/p>\n
‘Commander Cody, it is time to Execute Order 66.’<\/em><\/p>\n“Yes, my Lord.”\u00a0 He turned off the comm, heart lurching as the order seeped into his brain.<\/p>\n
No.<\/p>\n
Good Soldiers Follow Orders.<\/em><\/p>\nNo.<\/p>\n
He pulled off the bucket, knee hitting the ground as his head began to ache, a throbbing pain pulsating \u2026 right where the chip Snap had found.\u00a0 The one he warned Fox about …<\/p>\n
No.<\/p>\n
Obi-Wan was not a traitor.\u00a0 The Jedi fought alongside the vod<\/em>.\u00a0 His Mate<\/b> loved him.<\/p>\nNo.<\/p>\n
He felt rage like he never felt before, bubble up from inside him.<\/p>\n
No.<\/p>\n
He was Kote.<\/p>\n
And Good Soldiers Do NOT<\/b> Follow Orders of a Traitor.<\/p>\n
“Sir!”\u00a0 Wooley’s bucket was off, he was grimacing painfully while holding his head.\u00a0 As Cody looked around, so many of the men were in the same position, fighting the order that had gone over his comm.<\/p>\n
“Fight it.”\u00a0 They all knew that tone, it was not to be argued with, and then he watched in horror as one of the shiniest of shinies shifted the cannon and shot the General off the cliff face.\u00a0 Something inside his head snapped, pulling him away from darkness that had been creeping through his mind.\u00a0 “Obi-Wan!”<\/p>\n
There was a second shot, and the shiny fell from the canon.\u00a0 The Commander’s head snapped towards the direction it had come from, to see Longshot drop to his knees, weapon landing on the ground next to him, head buried in his hands.<\/p>\n
Obi-Wan had known something was wrong instantly.<\/p>\n
He felt his men wavering in the Force, some disappearing, then reappearing. \u00a0 Cody, always a warm presence, suddenly went cold.\u00a0 His Mate was in pain, and he had no idea why.\u00a0 The Force called out a warning, just as the blast exploded against the rockcliff next to him.\u00a0 He stumbled off the small path, falling downwards towards the pools of water.\u00a0 His body flipped around, until he had his paws under him when he hit the water.\u00a0 He sunk a few feet, before he was able to propel himself back to the surface.<\/p>\n
Reaching out towards his men, he could feel their painful struggle.\u00a0 Scrambling out of the pool, and up the wall, he ran back down to the headquarters.\u00a0 “Cody?”<\/p>\n
“Obi-Wan.”\u00a0 He cried in relief seeing the soaking wet Dragon.\u00a0 “Something’s wrong\u2026”<\/p>\n
“All the men are in pain, hurting, they’re fading in and out of the Force.”\u00a0 He looked around noticing the oldest, the ones who had been by his side for years, were in the most pain.\u00a0 The shinies were eyeing him, guns drawn \u2026 taking aim.<\/p>\n
“Put your weapons down!”\u00a0 Cody yelled, grimacing as he did it.<\/p>\n
“He’s a traitor.\u00a0 We must kill the traitor!”\u00a0 One of them yelled, yet the General could see the struggle within him.<\/p>\n
“Cody? What is going on?”\u00a0 Obi-Wan faced the men who were set on harming him, body lowered, ready to pounce if need be.<\/p>\n
“He’s not a Jedi.”\u00a0 Boil broke into the circle, along with Waxer and Crys.\u00a0 “He’s a Dragon.”<\/p>\n
The shinies stared at him, a few ripping off their buckets.\u00a0 “Sirs?”<\/p>\n
“Yes.\u00a0 Dragon.”\u00a0 Mythic nodded, stepping forward removing his own bucket, expression pained yet hopeful.\u00a0 “They are mythical creatures, you missed my lectures.\u00a0 They are of old, and not traitors to the Republic.”\u00a0 He glanced at Boil, following his tratic.\u00a0 The headache was starting to ease.\u00a0 “Come with me, I’ll tell you all about the Dragons.”\u00a0 He was able to herd the shinies away from the General, telling them what he had learned about Dragons.<\/p>\n
“Cody?”\u00a0 Obi-Wan leaned down to his Mate, rubbing against him. “You feel very cold.”<\/p>\n
“It’s something in our heads.”\u00a0 He reached out running a hand over the wet snout.\u00a0 “I got an order, and I felt darkness creeping in, telling me to be a Good Soldier and kill the traitors.”<\/p>\n
“The traitors being the Jedi?”\u00a0 Obi-Wan glanced around to see a few of the men coming closer, desperate to be near the Dragon.\u00a0 “But, I’m not<\/em> a Jedi right now.”<\/p>\n“Whatever you do sir, don’t transfer back.”\u00a0 Boil reached out to touch him, laying his head against one of the General’s front legs.\u00a0 “As much as I would be happy to see you naked, I don’t want to hurt you.”<\/p>\n
“What was this order?”\u00a0 He sat on his haunches, getting the verde<\/em> to focus on the Dragon.\u00a0 There were at least two soldiers whose attention was now on his twitching tail instead of this<\/em> order.<\/p>\n“Order 66.”<\/p>\n
All the men stiffened hearing it, and for a moment … disappeared.\u00a0 Obi-Wan tensed ready to flee, but they came back online.\u00a0 “I never thought I would be this happy that you are a Dragon.”\u00a0 Waxer breathed against the General’s side, petting him.\u00a0 “It’s the only thing stopping whatever this is\u2026”<\/p>\n
“It’s control chips.”\u00a0 Snap stepped next to Cody, and looked at his General.\u00a0 “I found them when I was doing a scan on Cody.\u00a0 I wanted to find out what they were, so before we arrived I programmed one of the medical droids to take mine out.\u00a0 I’m the only one not affected.\u00a0 I have no inclination to hurt you.\u00a0 I have no drive to hunt down the Jedi.”<\/p>\n
“Chips?”\u00a0 Obi-Wan felt sick.\u00a0 The clones, his men, his Mate had chips in their head to make them into \u2026 suddenly it all fell into place.\u00a0 Dooku, Jango ‘They’ll do what they are meant to do’, the war, consolidation of power, manipulation of Anakin \u2026 the Dragon was pissed.\u00a0 How dare the Sith hurt his protectees, manipulate his Padawan, hurt his Mate.\u00a0 “How fast can you get them out?”<\/p>\n
“Not that fast.”\u00a0 Snap gave him a half smile.\u00a0 He had been at the makeshift medical tent, when the order came through.\u00a0 He saw how the injured soldiers reacted, only a few fought it, the others were trying to grab their weapons.\u00a0 Without hesitation he hypod the lot of them, and went to find the Commander.\u00a0 “But fast enough.”<\/p>\n
Cody sighed. “We can’t wait for you to do surgery on the whole 212th. We have shinies who don’t know about the Dragon, we have nat borns who will get suspicious fast, and I’m pretty damn sure the Chancellor is going to be asking for an update.”<\/p>\n
“I have no idea how to counter it.”\u00a0 Snap glared at him, though was pissed at himself for not forcing Cody to have the surgery.\u00a0 He thought he had time, how wrong he was.\u00a0 After they finished this, he would need to apologize to the Commander and the General for his hesitation.\u00a0 “I haven’t had any time to study it, let alone get it to one of our slicers.”<\/p>\n
“Chancellor?”\u00a0 Longshot stared at his Commander in shock.\u00a0 “The Chancellor ordered us to kill our Jedi.\u00a0 The Chancellor of the Republic?”<\/p>\n
“The Sith Lord.”\u00a0 Obi-Wan flopped to the ground, not surprised when those near him were now leaning against him.\u00a0 He let them settle in, knowing they needed the comfort as much as he did.\u00a0 Wooley was sitting on his paw petting him, while he was sure it was Crys and Waxer who were playing with his tail.<\/p>\n
“Kriff.”\u00a0 Cody snarled, his headache fading, and any intent that he had to hurt his Mate had all but disappeared.<\/p>\n
“Can’t you order us to stop following it?”\u00a0 Wooley looked up at Obi-Wan. “You’re our General.”<\/p>\n
“It wouldn’t work.”\u00a0 Boil shook his head, following his fellow vods<\/em> train of thought.\u00a0 “He’s been declared a traitor, which means technically we can’t follow his order.”\u00a0 He paused and glanced at the Commander.\u00a0 “But, at this moment you’re the highest ranking officer.”<\/p>\n“It’s that or I hypo you like the last batch, and then see how fast I can crack your skulls open.”<\/p>\n
Cody gave the medic a side-eye, then sighed.\u00a0 Nothing was ever this easy, he took a deep breath.\u00a0 “As Field Marshal Commander, I hereby cancel Order 66, it is now null and void.”<\/p>\n
Longshot slumped to the ground, as the pressure gave away.\u00a0 Boil choked out a laugh, laying his head against the General and cried.\u00a0 Wooley, kept petting Obi-Wan’s paw, his own tears falling.<\/p>\n
“I can’t believe that worked.”\u00a0 Cody blinked, feeling the last of his tension disappear.\u00a0 He grabbed his bucket, and sent out the same order to the rest of the 212th.\u00a0 He heard cries of relief, sobbed out thanks, and a few hollars.<\/p>\n
“Well there is one way to find out.”\u00a0 Before the Commander could stop him, Obi-Wan went from Dragon to naked Jedi.\u00a0 Cody grabbed his Mate, yanked his bucket off again, dropped it down to make sure nothing was being exposed, only to drop it slightly to cover all of him.\u00a0 The General smirked at his Mate’s antics, then gazed at his men.\u00a0 “Any urges to shoot me?”<\/p>\n
“No, but I will say the Commander is one lucky clone.”\u00a0 Boil whistled, taking in the beauty of a naked General.\u00a0 “And if that was the last thing I saw, it would’ve been worth it.”<\/p>\n
Cody snarled.<\/p>\n
Obi-Wan gave him a playful wink, only to get his Mate to growl.\u00a0 “Cody, I want you to send a message to all the Commanders, including Rex as he’s near Anakin.\u00a0 If my theory is right, this was a test run, to specifically get me out of the way, let’s make sure the whole army doesn’t turn on their Generals.”<\/p>\n
“Bly and Wolffe would never forgive themselves.”\u00a0 Cody pulled out his comm, and keyed in all the Commanders, including Fox, he only hoped he had taken what Cody had told him to heart.<\/p>\n
“This is Marshal Commander CC-2224.\u00a0 This message is for all Commanders of the Grand Army of the Republic.\u00a0 Order 66 is null and void.\u00a0 I repeat, Order 66 is null and void.\u00a0 Do not act upon the order if received it is a threat to the Republic, the Jedi, and our very lives.”\u00a0 He paused, took a deep breath.\u00a0 “To my vode<\/em>, do not answer any communications unless they are from myself, your commander, or your Jedi.”<\/p>\n“Now what?” Longshot asked, bucket back on, weapon in hand ready to hunt down the traitor.<\/p>\n
“Snap, how fast can you get the chips out?”\u00a0 The General asked the medic.<\/p>\n
“How long do I have?” He answered, sensing there was more to the question.<\/p>\n
“As long as it takes us to get back to Coruscant.”\u00a0 Obi-Wan turned toward his Mate.\u00a0 “Get the LAATs down here.\u00a0 We have to get back to the Negotiator<\/em>, and finish this war.”<\/p>\nIt was Mythic who walked up to the group, holding Obi-Wan’s robe.\u00a0 “Here you go sir, for the safety of the shinies.\u00a0 I would hate for them to survive only to be killed by the Commander, for staring at your shebs<\/em>.”<\/p>\n“Thank you.”\u00a0 Obi-Wan wrapped the robe around him, letting Cody put his bucket back on.\u00a0 “Ner verde<\/em>, you have been by my side for three years.\u00a0 Stand with me now, to finish this.”<\/p>\n“I told you that the 212th would take on the Republic for you.”\u00a0 Cody shifted to look at his General.\u00a0 “We’re behind you sir, all the way.”<\/p>\n
“Let’s go kick some Sith shebs<\/em>!”\u00a0 Boil slammed on his bucket, and pulled up his weapon. “No one touches our Dragon General.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Part One Part Sixteen Note: Ironically this is the perfect image to go with the first part of this section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[747],"tags":[746,50],"class_list":["post-17286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-afternoon-fic","tag-afternoon-fic","tag-bj-jones"],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2Da1M-4uO","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":20927,"url":"https:\/\/www.sylumclan.com\/sylumblog\/the-dragon-general-posted-in-afternoon-fic\/","url_meta":{"origin":17286,"position":0},"title":"The Dragon General – Posted in Afternoon Fic","author":"Nicolaus Meridius","date":"May 6, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"I finally after\u00a0 ... a while ... got this posted in the Afternoon Fic section of the blog!\u00a0 Go me *sighs* And considering we've just had May the 4th Be With You - figured it was fitting to showcase.
