The Rising

Untitled Part 37

Bly looked at his wife as she slept soundly, twelve and a half hours of labor had tired her out. she slept with her children securely wrapped in her arms one blanket was pink while the other was blue, Bly smiled at her happily. she had given him a son and a daughter. his son was a majority of light blue and tan with two little bumps on his head he was sure would soon grow into lekus. 

His daughter had slightly more human-looking skin with splashes of blue on her face and two little Lekues as well with looked to be baby hair on the top of where her Lekus would soon be, he had no doubt she would grow up to be as beautiful and just as stubborn as her mother. 

Bly got up from his seat next to his wife bed as he bent over to kiss her forehead gently, he had already crossed the room and was about to exit the room in search of some food and water, when a rather ruffled looking Clone named Juno came running into the room. Bly glared at him the moment he entered and burst his happy bubble. 

"what do you want trooper?" Bly whispered low enough so that only Juno could hear him. 

"sir there is a message for the general from General Shak-Ti," Juno said quietly as he eyed the sleeping Jedi. 

"I'm going to take it for her" Bly said as he held out a hand, Juno nodded handing him the message before leaving quickly. Bly shook his head at the trooper before setting the message down on the desk, his eyes snapping back to his family for a second before heading out the door. 

The hallways were eerily silent as he made his way to the mess hall, his mind focused on finding the supplies he needed as he tore through the cupboards looking for them. he finally settled on two canisters of water and two meal ready bags before he made his way back his and Ayla's room. 

the moment he entered he knew something was wrong. 

Ayla was awake now, her eyes wide and full of fear as she looked at him, almost pleading with him to run. Bly's instincts overtook him as he dropped the food in his arms and reach for his gun pointing it at the strange cloaked figure. 

The person under the hood smiled before grabbing Bly with the force and slamming him into the door hard. 

Ayla shouted out in fear as her children woke and began to cry. Bly glared at the figure his breathing slightly haggard now, "what do you want?" Bly managed as he felt the force tightening around his throat. 

"simple," the figure said, his voice sounded familiar to both Bly and Ayla. 

But it wasn't until the figure had dropped the black cloak that they recognized him. 

There before them was Master Kit Fisto, though his appearance was now drastically changed causing Ayla to scream.

Half of his face was covered in metal pieces as if they were a part of a bigger machine that lay just under the skin. the skin itself that surrounded the pieces of metal were stained black, but that is not what scared Ayla. That honor belonged to the large glowing red mechanical eye that was surgically implanted into his skull. 

Fisto grinned at Ayla showing off broken fangs and replacement teeth "Hello my dear" he said causing Bly to fight against him harder. 

Fisto loomed closer to Ayla as he took in her appearance, "its time to stop playing house" he growled. 

Ahsoka awoke with a start her mind cloudy as she reached for the saber rex had handed her, activating it in a second ready to fight Master Fisto. 

but she found that there was no one there in her small cabin that she shared with Rex, who was now aiming his gun at the empty space Ahsoka faced off, his eyes blinking trying to get rid of the sleep in his eye.
