Hunger.. (Male Darth Nihilus Reader x Star Wars The Clone Wars)

The Battle of Christophsis (4/4)

"Above the gleaming surface of Christophsis, Darth Nihilus' ominous armada cast a foreboding shadow. Starfighters pirouetted amidst the cosmic expanse alongside Republic V-18s. Down on the battlefield, despite the unwavering bravery of the Clones, the tide of war surged against them with alarming ferocity. The combined forces of the Separatists and the Sith Remnant pushed forward relentlessly, seizing territory at an accelerated pace. Republic troops found themselves once again thrust onto the defensive, desperately maneuvering to thwart the CIS's bid for planetary conquest. Entrusted with the pivotal mission to dismantle the enemy's shield generator, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his newly-minted apprentice, Ahsoka Tano, embark on a perilous journey. Meanwhile, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Meku Alucard, engage the adversary in a diversionary tactic, striving to buy time for their comrades' crucial endeavor."

3rd POV

Anakin and Ahsoka were close to reaching their destination. The shield generator was in sight and it didn't seem to be heavily defended either which was an oddity. Regardless, the pair remained cautious as they approached. The Republic was counting on them and they couldn't turn back now. As they approached, the dark side began to infiltrate their nostrils and soon become a foul stench.

Ahsoka: "I sense darkness, but it isn't as strong as that guy with the mask." She said to her soon-to-be-Master. "It feels extremely cold.."

Anakin: "No time to falter, Snips-"

Ahsoka: "First of all, it's Ahsoka."

Anakin rolled his eyes before returning to the subject at hand. Eventually, they've gotten close enough and saw what seemed to be a human in orange robes. The dark side emanated from him, but wasn't on par with Nihilus. The supposed Sith was communicating with two other Sith War Droids.

Sith War Droid 1: "I can't believe you forgot to charge your power cells again. You're always so disorganized!" 

Sith War Droid 2: "Oh, like you're one to talk! You're the one who keeps getting stuck in doorways because you're too big and clunky."

Sith War Droid 1: "Hey, I can't help it if my chassis is built for battle, not for squeezing through tight spaces!"

Sith War Droid 2: "Excuses, excuses. Maybe if you spent less time lifting weights and more time on maintenance, we wouldn't be having this conversation."

Sith War Droid 1: "Oh please, as if you're the model of efficiency. I saw you trying to flirt with that protocol droid earlier. Talk about a malfunction!"

Sith War Droid 2: "Hey, she had a sleek design, okay? It's not my fault I have a thing for chrome-plated exteriors."

Sith War Droid 1: "Well, just remember, next time we're on the battlefield and you're low on power, don't come crying to me for a jumpstart." 

Sith War Droid 2: "Ha! We'll see who's laughing when I'm the one saving your circuits from being scrap metal!"

???: "Enough! Hearing the two of you squabble is meaningless. Do your jobs with professionalism and silence."

The two droids complied. However, the figure felt the presence of the two Jedi. "You can come out now, Jedi filth. I could smell your scent from miles away."

Anakin and Ahsoka revealed themselves. Anakin retorted; "Perhaps, we should've chosen a better hiding spot then?" Ahsoka responded; "I think you were too tall, so he easily noticed you."

Anakin: "You're full of it, Snips. My hiding spot was perfect."

Ahsoka: "Your hiding spot? If I recall it was you who walked right next to mine, Skyguy."
