//------------------------------// // The Senate (full of monkeys) // Story: My little army // by Darth_Pinkie //------------------------------// "My Lord! If we do not have more credits within fifteen rotations we will lose the funding for weapons, clones, tanks and even supplies for the already existing clones!" Bail Organa expressed with his 'I'm not fucking with you' face. "I understand senator but we are already sending out our best clones to find new allies and arrange peace talks" Chancellor Palpatine said as calmly as he could as someone threw a tomato at his face. "Please everyone stay calm I, have already send out the clones!" he said as he retreated to his office. He cursed under his breath as he wiped the tomato of his face "how did he even sneak that in?" He asked to no one in particular.He immediately remembered his meeting with the three clone commanders, and by him remembering it I mean Fox reminded him. "Bring them in Fox" Palpatine ordered as Sergeant Fox went outside to see if the commanders were still waiting. After he found Commander Cody at the front door he asked him where the other two were "Commander? Where are the other two?" Fox said confused that it was only Cody. "They went to the vending machine downstairs to get a drink" Cody said as if the meeting wasn't as important as it was. Downstairs... Commander Apo and Gree were talking as they reached for there credits "Well I think we better get up there" said Gree. "Nah, the Chancellor probably called of the meeting!" Apo said as he got his drink from the machine, and began to walk downstairs. "Hey, brother where are you going?" Gree asked Apo as he chased after him. "Again I told you, He probably called of the meeting, now you wanna come with me to 79's and get some more drinks?" He said raising his eyebrows already knowing what Apo's answer was going to be. "Fierfek, I hate it when you right" said Apo as he joined Gree. Upstairs in the Chancellors private office.... Chancellor Palpatine realized that the other commanders weren't coming anytime soon so the Chancellor decided to get on with the meeting. "As you Commanders... Uh I mean Commander have been informed about the setback we have encountered in this war, you won't be going in with any of the admirals or Jedi generals" He said with regret and then with immediate relief as he saw that Cody knew he could handle it. Cody already knew his mission, he already knew that he was going without major support, he also knew that all he had was two Jedi cruisers (without the Jedi of course) and three Acclamators. He cursed his bad luck, coincidentally also the name of one of the Acclamator's name. He thought of the boring locals and the boring negotiations about to come. Little did he know that everything about to take place was anything but boring and nothing but excitement. "Well then men you all know our very important mission for the next um... Few rotations, we are to explore the Galaxy in hoping to find more stupid. I mean wealthy planets to assure our existence" Commander Cody said as he cursed under his breath why he was assigned to this very boring mission. He went all the way to the hangar of the acclamator so called 'Bad Luck'. His Nu-class gunship was waiting for him in the hangar along with Boiler and Waxer. "Hey Boil what does the Gungan say to the droid?" Waxer said trying to be funny. Boiler just ignored him since his character would usually mess up the joke. "Ten-hut! Officer on deck!" A random clone gunner who was checking the cannons pointed out luckily interrupting Waxer's joke. "As you were" Cody said to everyone as he approached the the shuttle "Alright boys maybe this one will be for the best, I mean maybe I could get my own little sister down there!" Commander Cody joked as Boiler giggled, but Waxer had only missed Numa even more since he had adorned a mural of her on his shoulder plate. Cody was wondering where the pilot was but his search was cut short when he saw the pilot snoozing of on a bunch crates. "Well?" Cody said to the half asleep pilot "Are you gonna fly us or not!" He screamed in the pilot's face as he returned to his no nonsense attitude. As the fleet of the 212th legion made its way out hyperspace in the uncharted sector of the Galaxy a serious problem arose "Sir we've run out of beer!" A worried clone said."Ghost company finished it all!" He continued as they walked down the docking ramp. And as they rounded of the corner he saw his company sprawled on the floor like a bunch of Jawas in the heat. "What!? You finished all in one jump!" Commander Cody said as he stared at the drunk platoon " if you do that again I might as well jettison you with all the empty bottles! You're all doing push-ups until we find a planet!" He screamed at them, unaware that more problems were to rise such as them using up more supplies, or them ending up inside a sun just in case the coordinates were pressed in wrong, or that drunk platoon might actually accidentally jettison themselves out. Actually that last one didn't seem to bad Cody himself. As he went up to the bridge to check on the naval officers' progress. They didn't have an admiral or a Jedi with them, the Chancellor had said that their sources were to 'stretched thin' Cody mocked under his breath. "Sir, I've got a bad feeling about this" one of the officers said to Commander Cody. Cody thought about it and agreed in his mind as he nodded back to the officer. As he went down the turbo lift into the middle of the neck of the ship, the crew quarters. Once he got into his room he removed his helmet then the rest of his phase two armor.He put all his armor in it's place; on his desk and as he was about to take a well needed nap inside of his itchy body glove suit, but after barely laying his head on the pillow an emergency siren stopped him from taking said nap. " Goddammit! What the hell did they do again!" He screamed as he put his armor back on and punched a wall making a dent as he ran out.While he was running towards the turbolift he spotted a clone trooper and grabbed the running clone "Soldier what's going on?" He asked "Sir we've just gotten out of hyper space!" The trooper said "But Isn't this five rotations too early to jump out!?" Cody said as both of them got into the turbolift already jam packed with clone troopers. After having not too much trouble squeezing in they continued to talk. "We ran into a system not logged on to the data banks." the clone said as he made his way through the armored bodies and grabbed a hold of Commander Cody. "So? What's wrong with that?" Cody asked already annoyed from the lack of straight answers. "We got out right infront of a star, as in 250 miles infront of it, we're burning up! He shouted trying to battle the siren's wails. "Shit" Cody whispered to himself as he jumped out with all the other troopers as the turbo lift had already reached its destination, but as he got out he was immediately blinded by the giant star right in front of them. "Reverse all thrusters put all shield to the front, we might still be able to pull these cruisers out before shit hits the fan!" He shouted at the officers as he watched as the entire venator next to him went up in flames. "Sir the cruiserHope just made impact... No one survived, sir!" An officer said grimly as Commander Cody watched with his own eyes as the venator class cruiser exploded into giant bits of fiery debris.
