The Rising

Found out

Dooku walked calmly into Sidius's chambers, his head held high as his hands were clasped in front of him. 

"Master you summoned me?" 

Sidious grinned slightly at his student, "Yes my dear Count Dooku.....You have been most helpful since the break out". 

Dooku bowed slightly "thank you master"

"But...I find some things....quite......alarming"

Dooku could feel his stomach flip at this, did he know?

"how so my lord?"

"the jailbreak was.....expected.....but the kidnapping of Lord Vader and his family......that was new and so was the disappearance of the experimental drug....Tell me do you know about any of these events?"

Dooku stayed bowing, preparing himself for what was to come. 

"No my lord, only of the jailbreak of course" if it was one thing Dooku could pride himself upon it was being able to lie flawlessly to the sith before him. 

"Oh..."

Dooku had to restrain the urge to pull his saber out at this moment, he had been caught. 

"It is curious seeing as they found Darth Gorr's credentials at the scene, you yourself even killed the sith when he tried to escape with his.....cohorts"

Yep, he was in deep trouble. 

"My lord, you don't think I had anything to do with this......do you?" 

There was a long pause before the Sith spoke again. 

"I would have.....if it was not for my pet"

Dooku gulped, he needed to get out of here. now. 

Just as the Count straightened up he caught sight of a person standing in the shadows, he could only see his lower half but it almost perfectly blended with the surroundings. but the moment the unknown person stepped forth Count Dooku's heart almost stopped. 

There in front of him was a clone, one with a strange tattoo on his face and a gun...no a rifle. pointed right at him. 

"how long have you been working for the Jedi?" 

Dooku remained quiet. 

If he was going to die, let the last pieces of information about the Jedi he had die with him. 

"Come now the end will be less painful if you do"

screaming. That's all that could be heard next as the young Jedi Caleb Dume woke up. the screaming which was loud enough to those around him but also reverberated tenfold in the young Jedi's mind. 

"Caleb" Hera's voice half yelled at her sleeping friend "Caleb, wake up". 

Rio came running into the room with Chopper behind her, armed and scanning the room for intruders. Rio, on the other hand, went straight to Caleb who was no longer screaming, now he was shaking like a leaf as Hera and her brother tried to calm him down. 

"Caleb, what did you see?" Rio asked as gently as she could while Caleb clung to the children next to him almost as if he was afraid of letting go and being pulled back into his nightmare. 

Hera hugged him quietly while her brother placed a stuffed toy in Caleb's lab, not sure how else he could be of much help. 

"The....the sith he.....he was hurting someone. "

Rio and Chopper, who had stowed his weapon, exchanged worried glances before Chopper took a knee next to his adoptive son. 

"Did you recognize them?" He asked ever so gently, making Rio smile slightly at her gentle beast.
