Barriss x Caleb one-shots

Krell Part 8

This 4 part special is getting longer than I expected, but I will finish the oneshot. Promise.

"You wanted us, sir."

"I ordered those clones to be destroyed. You are making a mistake by crossing me, clone."

"It's Captain, sir." He stepped, as he resentfully flounced.

"Sir, there's an incoming transmission."

"General, the Umbarans have stepped up the offensive. We're holding them off, but their squadrons have ambushed one of our platoons, seizing weapons and uniforms. We believe they may be planning a massive attack." Transmission off.

"Looks like you have your stay for execution, for now. Lock the traitors in the brig, and prepare your platoons to move out immediately. We need to prevail the enemy by hitting them with everything we've got. We're finally going to take the capital. And captain, make sure your men is informed that the enemy may disguise themselves as clones to try and trick us."

"I will, sir."

Just as the clones began their spread of platoons, Caleb was headed to relay their plan. Intercepting Barriss with a nod, when...

"Where are you, Prat?"

"I'm...in the landing platform."

"Get here now!"

"Yes, Master."

"I'll talk with you later, Padawan Offee." They nodded.

Which was when Barriss suddenly felt a great disturbance in the force. Her breathing unsteady and her movements erratic.

"What's wrong?"

"I...I sense a great disturbance in the force."

"I...can't sense anything."

"Well it is narrow in its own way, but we must take precautions."

"Of course, I'll see you later."

(After a lot of child abuse)

Caleb swayingly soldiered back to the landing platform. Where Barriss, as expected, applied much child care by employing the use of force heal.

"Caleb, why does this always happen with you?" She asked, assiduously patting his arm with a cloth.

"I uhhhh – I thought it would be...clear. B...by now." He whimpered in pain.

"Is it..."

"Commander, commander are you there?"

"Yes Captain, we're here. What's your status?"

"There's a lot more going on commander, we need to meet in secret. Don't tell General Krell."

"Meet us at these coordinates."

After grievously exploiting the general, the clones unanimously agreed among capturing the Besalisk. With Barriss broadcasting their plans and relaying their strategies.

"Troopers, fan out. Bring every weapon you have to fortify your defences. Ensure that we have a perpetual blockade from all directions. Five clicks out. Proceed." She commanded.

"Yes, Sir!"

"And Rex, rally up the strongest of your platoon, get them to meet me at the brig." She continued.

"Of course, Commander."

"Are you ready for this, Caleb?"

"Oh, I've been waiting for this my entire life. My anger gives me strength, and so does my desperate need of revenge." He quoted.

"Ex...Wait Caleb, where...where did you learn that?"

"From Master Krell."

"Oh no. You've been taught all wrong. He's teaching you to be a sith."

"What?"

"Don't give in to hatred, Padawan. It's not the Jedi way."

"But that's what I've been doing for the last few months. It's the only reason I'm still standing."

"I will see to it that the council is aware of this. But for now, we have a task at hand."

Oh no. The dark side? What will happen next? Does he get expelled from the Jedi order? Does he take Anakin's place as Vader? Does he kill Krell?
