Glory to the Confederacy (Star Wars x Male Separatist Reader)

Chapter 43: Duel of the Droids

R3-S6 POV

Time for the final trump card to be played.

I'm honestly surprised at how easy it had been to inconvenience Skywalker. No matter how many 'mistakes' or 'blunders' I would make. That Togruta brat would always vouch for me. More fool her if you ask me. 

And now, we had them ALL right where we wanted them. General Grievous would dispose of the girl and the rest were trapped in the hangar, they wouldn't be escaping this place with their lives. I'm surprised that no one suspected me as a spy sooner, my loyalty was and still is to the Intergalactic Shipwright's Guild.

The Minister had been kind enough to purchase me from those vile junk dealers and since then had given me purpose. And for that, I would serve him and the Confederacy of Independent Systems to my dying beeps.

Upon finally reaching the hangar, I was met with the sight of that rust bucket Skywalker called a ship. Skywalker himself was also here with his o-so-precious R2 unit. Upon noticing me he asked "Hey Stubby, where's Ahsoka?!"

I just beeped out what would be the equivalent of laughing. I think the only one to catch on WAS the R2 unit who's lens followed me sceptically. See what I mean? Even if I wasn't a spy, Skywalker's attitude was foul and I was going to delight in putting him out.

Not long after my own arrival, one of the other doors opened and the Clone contingent arrived, the Captain instantly addressed "General Skywalker, explosives are in place sir. Objective completed?"

Skywalker, in typical fashion, wasn't grateful in the slightest and instead asked "Where is Ahsoka?" To that the Clone delivered news which of course I already knew, but it didn't make it any less sweet. "She engaged General Grievous."

Skywalker exclaimed "Alone?!" To which the Clone captain began explaining "She distracted him while we completed the mission, it was on her orders sir! The droid was with her." Oh dear... Guess it's now or never...

Skywalker declared "We've got to find her." To which the captain responded "I can take you to her sir." They turned and ran towards the exit the clones had come through and that's when I made my move. 

I approached a nearby panel and interfaced with it. Effectively sealing the door which caused their heads to snap in my direction. That wasn't all, I also instructed the hangar doors to close as well, trapping them in here for what I had planned.

This made Skywalker yell "What is the matter with you?! Are you trying to get us killed?!" I beeped out in response, mocking him about how long it took to figure it out, before I revealed my next trick.

Attached to the hangar ceiling were several stationary Vulture Droids, not for long though. Through the panel, I was able to activate them. Their eyes lit up as they dropped down, staring at the Jedi, Clones and inferior droid.

They all got on their guard, the Clone captain commented "I've got a bad feeling about this sir." Skywalker ignited his lightsaber and glared right at me, spitting "That double-crossing droid is a spy." Which in itself made little sense, how could I be a double-crosser or a traitor if I was never on their side to begin with?

I beeped out, giving them an indication that I wasn't done yet. From one of the few open doors, several Super Battle Droids emerged. Now, they were cornered, ripe for the pickings as it were. Still, as soon as the droids opened fire, the enemies began running towards some nearby crates, fighting back.

Shortly after this, the station began shaking, the Clones must have triggered the explosives! The Minister would be furious about this! I was already deep as a spy when the Malevolence was lost, but I know he was angry.
