Chapitre 4: The Report to Sidious
In the control room of the Lucrehulk battleship, Nute Gunray and Rune Haako were in a state of panic. They had to report the events to Lord Sidious immediately. Gunray initiated the communicator, the urgency in his voice palpable.
"Report, Viceroy," came Sidious's cold, demanding voice.
"Lord Sidious," Gunray began, his voice trembling. "We have encountered an unprecedented threat. A mysterious young man has appeared and exhibited power far beyond our understanding."
Rune Haako added, "We have footage of his abilities. He created massive destruction with ease. We need your guidance, my Lord."
As they prepared to transmit the footage, a strange figure appeared in the control room. The figure resembled a robot, but its appearance was eerily humanoid. It wore a dark, sleek suit with a long, flowing coat and a hat that obscured its face, adding to its ominous presence.
Haako's eyes widened in confusion. "What are you doing here, droid?"
Gunray shook his head, his voice trembling. "That is not our droid."
The robot's cold, calculating voice echoed in the room. "You mustn't tell. Just report that a mysterious young man destroyed the ship with tremendous power."
Haako stepped back, fear evident in his eyes. "Who are you?"
The robot tilted its head slightly. "I am Tooru."
Suddenly, Gunray and Haako felt a strange sensation, as if they were looking at both a robot and a young man simultaneously. Their minds struggled to process the duality of the figure before them.
Gunray stammered, "Did I just see...?"
Haako, equally bewildered, replied, "A droid... or a young man?"
Palpatine's voice cut through their confusion. "What is happening there? I demand an explanation!"
Before they could react further, the footage they were preparing to send exploded, and the memory storage was corrupted. The room filled with static and a sense of dread.
Tooru's voice grew more menacing. "Your efforts will bring misfortune. Calamity will pursue you if you try to pursue us."
Haako's face turned ashen. "What... what is this thing?"
Tooru stepped closer, its presence almost palpable. "I am not something you can understand. Remember my words: calamity will pursue you."
Gunray fell to his knees, his voice barely a whisper. "We... we must obey. We cannot risk such calamity."
Tooru's gaze seemed to pierce through them, its words hanging heavily in the air. "Do as I say, and you may survive."
Palpatine, now fully attentive, hissed through the communicator, "What is this presence I sense? Describe it to me!"
Haako, struggling to find the words, stammered, "My Lord, it appears to be a droid, but also... a young man. We see both forms."
Sidious's voice was tinged with a rare hint of uncertainty. "This is highly irregular. A power that can corrupt and destroy data... and a form that shifts between two states?"
The control room was silent, the Neimoidians paralyzed with fear. Tooru remained still, its presence dominating the room.
Sidious's voice cut through the silence. "I need more information. What does this... Tooru want?"
Tooru answered before the Neimoidians could speak. "Obey, and calamity will not befall you. Defy, and you shall know true misfortune."
Gunray, trembling, managed to speak. "Lord Sidious, it demands our compliance. It warned of calamity if we disobey."
Palpatine's voice turned cold and calculating. "Very well. Do as it says for now. But keep me informed. I want every detail you can gather."
Haako nodded, still shaking. "Yes, my Lord. We will comply."
As the communication ended, Sidious sat back, his mind racing. "A power that transcends our understanding. This Tooru... it must be studied. And the young man they mentioned... he must be found."
His thoughts turned darker. "If this power can be harnessed, the Sith will be unstoppable. But if it cannot... then it must be destroyed."
Meanwhile, in space, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn continued to monitor the situation on Naboo. The massive energy readings from Gojo's landing were still evident, but now there was something more—an unsettling presence that permeated the Force.
"Master, the energy levels are off the charts," Obi-Wan said, concern etched in his voice. "Should we intervene?"
Qui-Gon shook his head, his gaze steady. "We must be cautious, Obi-Wan. This power is unlike anything we've ever seen. We need more information before we act."
Obi-Wan nodded, though his expression remained troubled. "I understand, Master. But there's something else. I can feel it...a presence. It's like a shadow looming over us, and it's becoming...scary."
Qui-Gon placed a reassuring hand on his apprentice's shoulder. "You're not alone in sensing it. It's as if the very fabric of the Force is being twisted. We need to understand this presence before making any moves."
Obi-Wan glanced out into the vastness of space, his unease growing. "This presence...it's not just on Naboo. It's here, in space, watching us."
Qui-Gon, equally wary, nodded. "Indeed. We must tread carefully. The stakes have never been higher, and the dangers never more profound. For now, we observe and learn, but remain ready to act."
Obi-Wan's eyes narrowed as he focused on the distant planet. "It feels like this presence is waiting for us to make a move."
Qui-Gon, his voice filled with resolve, replied, "Then we must be vigilant. The balance of the Force is at stake, and we cannot afford any mistakes."
Wonder of U suddenly acted on its own, becoming more aggressive toward anyone trying to pursue its user.
"So Wonder of U is acting independently," Gojo thought. "Its aggressive stance towards any threat is going to make things interesting. If they try to pursue me, they'll face calamity itself."
His thoughts grew darker as he considered the challenges ahead. "They will come for me, thinking they can control or eliminate this new threat. But they will soon learn that I am beyond their comprehension."
Wonder of U's ominous presence seemed to echo Gojo's resolve. "Calamity will be their answer. And I will show them a power they have never imagined."
Back on the Lucrehulk, Nute Gunray and Rune Haako were still in shock. The presence of Tooru had left them with more questions than answers.
Haako spoke first, his voice barely a whisper. "What do we do now, Viceroy?"
Gunray, still on his knees, slowly stood up. "We follow its instructions. For now. But we must find a way to protect ourselves. This Tooru... it is beyond our understanding."
Haako nodded, his expression grim. "And the young man on Naboo. We must be cautious. If his power is anything like what we've seen..."
Gunray finished the thought. "Then we are in grave danger. Inform the crew. We will proceed with caution and await further instructions from Lord Sidious."
The Neimoidians increased their surveillance on Naboo, their sensors picking up the massive energy readings from Gojo's presence. Every movement was monitored, every spike in energy meticulously recorded.
Haako, watching the screens, muttered to himself, "We must understand this power. Only then can we hope to survive."
Gunray, standing beside him, added, "And if we can't understand it... we must find a way to neutralize it."
Tooru, having delivered its message, began to fade from the control room. Its final words echoed in the Neimoidians' minds. "Remember, calamity will pursue you if you defy us."
As the figure disappeared, Gunray and Haako were left with a sense of foreboding. The control room felt colder, the weight of Tooru's presence lingering in the air.
The Neimoidians began to implement new security measures, fortifying their positions and preparing for any potential threats. Their fear of Tooru and the mysterious young man on Naboo drove them to unprecedented levels of caution.
Gunray issued orders, his voice steady despite the turmoil within. "Increase the guards. Double the patrols. We cannot afford any more surprises."
Haako, coordinating with the crew, responded, "Yes, Viceroy. We will ensure the ship is secure."
Back in his chamber, Sidious pondered the new developments. He issued new orders to his agents, seeking more information about Gojo and Tooru.
"Find the young man. Learn everything you can about him. And if possible, bring him to me," Sidious commanded, his voice filled with dark intent.
His agents bowed, leaving to carry out his orders. Sidious's mind raced with possibilities. "A new power... one that could change the fate of the galaxy."
