Chapter 6: Surprising Dr. Hadis
The so-called good Dr. Hadis was indeed going to give details to Count Dooku on the recent victory, as the Battle Droids were scattered about trying to stop the onslaught of infected colonialists, Dr. Hadis had an R2 unit ready to send off a hologram message to Count Dooku.
"Ah, Dr. Hadis, I've read much about your experiments, tell me, have they actually brought victory to our cause?" asked Count Dooku.
"Oh yes indeed" replied Dr. Hadis, "my experiment that causes those to become rabidly infected have damaged the Republic's image. We launched a missile against a Republic cruiser, along with also annihilating an entire colony."
"I'm impressed, but I am also worried you have may have gotten yourself in a heap of trouble with your own experiments" continued Count Dooku.
"Nonsense" said Dr. Hadis, "the virus weaken the colonialists and the clone troopers onboard the Republic cruiser, there's nothing else that's wrong."
"I hope you're right on this one, Dooku out" said Count Dooku as the hologram disappeared.
As Dr. Hadis and the Battle Droids continued to search for any other infected colonialists, Kit Fisto along with the squad of clone troopers who were hiding out saw their chance.
"This is our chance" said Kit to the clone commander.
"We're low on ammo, but I think we can grab more from those droids" continued the clone commander.
The Jedi along with the clones launched a surprise attack on some Battle Droids patrolling an area of the city. But the fighting also caused more infected colonialists to be on the alert as many of them began to make their typical inhuman noises alerting themselves of their presence in the area.
"Blast, I thought those droids finished them off!" cried a clone trooper.
"Just fire and run!" cried the clone commander.
The infected colonialists were indeed shot dead by the clone troopers, to which they then continued on their path.
"If we capture Dr. Hadis, we can win this" said Kit.
The Jedi and the clones went to work evading the Battle Droids on their patrols in the ruined colony, and slicing and shooting any infected colonialists that still remained. But soon they came across Dr. Hadis who was sitting comfortably in a tent being guarded by a squad of Super Battle Droids, and Droidekas.
"Blast, we'll never get past them" said the clone commander.
"Leave that one to me" said Kit.
Kit went to work, as he used his levitation powers to lift a use slab of debris and threw it at some Super Battle Droids. The Droidekas soon followed as they began to shoot at Kit as he came toward them with his lightsaber. Kit was able to cut through the shields of each Droideka with ease, along with slicing through the Super Battle Droids.
"What the?" cried Dr. Hadis as his tent was sliced right open by the Jedi along with the clone troopers pointing their weapons at him.
"It's time you come with us for your crimes against humanity" said Kit.
"Ha, you think you've won here Jedi?" laughed Dr. Hadis.
The doctor tried his best to contact the stealth ship that was up above, but the ship itself was heading out of the system.
"I hope the doctor doesn't mind we take this ship out for a ride" said the Battle Droid in charge of the ship.
"You idiot, send in reinforcements!" cried Dr. Hadis
"Sorry" laughed the Battle Droid, "but Count Dooku wants an inspection of this ship."
The doctor was indeed frustrated, but for the Republic fleet that remained in the system, they were the ones who sent reinforcements on the ground eventually. A few moments later, the doctor was arrested by the clone troopers and was sent to the flag ship of the fleet.
"I am most deeply troubled by how a doctor like yourself could come up with such a vile virus" said the Admiral.
"Ha, I'll never tell you anything" said Dr. Hadis in a defiant mood.
"Well, you are going to have to, one way or another" said Kit as Dr. Hadis was led into an interrogation room, the scene ends from there for now.
