A Question For Commander Cody
Author's Note: This is the LONGEST chapter in this Ask Star Wars Characters book, and it is the only one with other worlds/characters/fandoms crossovers. Very very very very very VEEEEERRRRRRYYYYYY special thanks to SuperiorGhost , who asked the question. Without his help this chapter wouldn't be nearly as good as it is now, and I doubt I really would have been able to come up with much of an answer from Commander Cody.
Question: Commander Cody, did you feel any regret about Order 66 after shooting down Obi-Wan Kenobi? I mean, you had just given him his lightsaber back, and then you loosed an artillery cannon on him. ~Asked by @SuperiorGhost
~~~~~~~<><><><><><><><>~~~~~~~<><><><><><><><>~~~~~~~
Commander Cody: *Walks into the Green Dragon Inn*
GodismyDD: *is talking to Legolas, Aragorn and SuperiorGhost*
SuperiorGhost: *Mid-joke* And the first thing I said to the dragon was, "Your breath smells!" *Turns and sees Cody* Oh, Commander Cody. Interesting to see you here!
GodismyDD: *starts laughing* Star Wars Middle-Earth crossover! Fantastic!
Legolas and Aragorn: O_O
SuperiorGhost: It's fun to confuse our fellow characters with author-speech!
GodismyDD: Indeed!
Commander Cody: *Getting agitated* What's this about? And who are all of you?
GodismyDD: Do you want the long, rambly and excited/hyper rambly version or the short version?
Cody: I get the feeling that no matter what I say, I'm getting option one.
GodismyDD: Okay, well, this blonde haired elf over here is Legolas of Mirkwood, and this man right here is Aragorn, the heir of Isildur. Um, if you get easily impatient with long stories, you may want SuperiorGhost to tell you exactly who they are and what's so important about them.
SuperiorGhost: *Grins. Walks over to Cody and transforms into Ackemi Kygar* I am your general. *Puts his hands around Cody's temples and force-downloads everything Ackemi knows about both characters. Changes back into SuperiorGhost.* Long story short.
GodismyDD: *too excited and giggly to even speak, for now*
Cody: Aagh! You basically downloaded the entire lives of two people into my brain!
GodismyDD: *looks at the door when it opens. Her eyes widen when she sees who walks into the Green Dragon Inn* Well, there are two faces I never expected to see!
Zera Moonwalker: Oh great, not you. *growls*
Tirithiel Cundo: Oh, hello. Do I know you?
GodismyDD: Nope! But I know you!
Legolas and Aragorn: *look totally confused*
SuperiorGhost: And I know you both. But only in another form. What's going on?
Tirithiel: Zera convinced me to come here with her. She's searching for her family, but she... isn't very fond of people- or anyone/anything on two legs- so I came with her to do some talking for her. I don't exactly know why I did this for her though.
Cody: I'm going to leave now... *Looks slightly freaked out. Begins walking to the door.*
SuperiorGhost: Hey, we almost forgot the reason for this whole thing. My question!
GodismyDD: Oh, yes, of course! Ask away!
SuperiorGhost: It would be kind of odd to ask it in front of company who haven't watched the movies. Should we show the saga to our confused friends?
GodismyDD: Definitely! We'll need a TV for that, however, and we're in Middle-Earth. *Hears the wheezing/groaning sound of the T.A.R.D.I.S. and grins* But The Doctor is here with his T.A.R.D.I.S and he has the movies. Shall we?
Legolas: *Almost cowering in fear at the sound* I've long dreaded the day I would hear that terrible sound again.
SuperiorGhost: Without a doubt. *Silently hoping for Nine, as Nine is his favorite.*
Aragorn: Sirs, what is the meaning of this?
GodismyDD: *on her phone* According to Google, the definition of this is a word used to identify a specific person or thing close at hand or being indicated or experienced. Example: Is this your bag? *looks up at Aragorn* Oh wait, you meant... *trails off embarrassedly*
Everybody except the two authors: Google!?!?!?!?!?!
Aragorn: Let's just get on with it.
GodismyDD: To the T.A.R.D.I.S! Allons-y!
SuperiorGhost *As Rinion Eraisuithon*: Gwaem!
SuperiorGhost *As himself*: Onward!
Everyone: *follows the two authors all the way to a blue box*
T.A.R.D.I.S.: *Door opens*
Ninth Doctor: Hello there! It's fantastic to see all of you.
GodismyDD: Nice to see you as well, Doctor! What brings you to Middle-Earth?
Nine: What do you mean? You two asked me to come here...oh, wait. That hasn't happened yet.
Legolas and Aragorn: *look at GodismyDD in confusion*
GodismyDD: *Turns to Legolas and Aragorn* We'll have to have you watch Doctor Who as well; but that will have to wait until another day. *turns back to The Doctor* Okay, it's a long-ish story, but we need to show Legolas, Aragorn, and Zera- the white wolf back there- the Star Wars saga.
Doctor: Ahah! That is a great saga. Should we go 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3 or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?
Legolas and Aragorn: *look confused again*
GodismyDD: *to Legolas and Aragorn* Back on Earth they made 4, 5 and 6 before they made 1, 2 and 3 because they didn't have the technology to make the first three. *to The Doctor* We'll watch 1-6. I like it best that way!
SuperiorGhost: Yeah, that way we can avoid spoilers for certain people. *Looks pointedly at Commander Cody, who isn't there.* Oops. Where's Cody?
Zera: *grins* I'll track him down for you if you want.
GodismyDD: *To Zera* That may not be best... *to herself* Wow, aren't I observant? *sarcastic*
SuperiorGhost: Blast! I think he left in line 22. How did we miss that?
Zera: You and GodismyDD probably had Star Wars on the brain. *she says not-so-kindly*
Tirithiel: *nudges Zera in the ribs with the toe of her boot* Be nice.
Nine: I think this is why you called me. First let's watch the saga, and then I'll give you the best helpline in the universe. *Brings everyone into the T.A.R.D.I.S.*
Aragorn: It's bigger on the inside?
Legolas: Get used to it.
Rose: *walks into the room, rubbing an eye and looking tired* Doctor, what's going on... *realizes there are more people than just The Doctor in the T.A.R.D.I.S* Who are all these people?
Doctor: *motions to the two authors* Rose, this is GodismyDD and SuperiorGhost, and they *motions to Legolas and Aragorn* are Legolas and Aragorn, and-
Rose: Legolas and Aragorn? *glances at them* Like from The Lord of the Rings?
Aragorn: The Lord of the Rings? Interesting name for Bilbo and Frodo's book, There and Back Again.
GodismyDD: Yeah, that's what the books and movie adaptions are called back on Earth. *whisper shouts to Aragorn and Legolas* The books are way better!
Legolas: Since when is a book not better than these... what do you call them again?
GodismyDD: Movies. And agreed.
Rose: *baffled*
Doctor: Anyways, the white wolf is Zera. She's a skin-changer. And Tirithiel is a Jedi Elf/inter-dimensional time traveller.
Rose: Jedi Elf and an inter-dimensional time traveller? Hey, almost like you Doctor.
Doctor: The theater is through the hallway, take lefts until you feel like there are none left, then you will see it. I'm taking the shortcut.
GodismyDD: You mean there's a shortcut to the theater room and you never told me!?
Doctor: Yes...but...*Grasping for an excuse* only a Time-Lord who has seen what I have and has lived the legacy I am can survive the journey.
SuperiorGhost: *Semi-glares at the Doctor* You seem to have forgotten, we are partly Time-Lords. Why don't you let us through the shortcut?
GodismyDD: *raises an eyebrow* Yes, we are partly Time-Lords, plus I have fought for Middle-Earth many times before alongside Legolas.
SuperiorGhost: And I in Middle-Earth with Gwenthiel and Duliniel A.K.A. GodismyDD. And we've both fought in Narnia, and Star Wars, and umm, etcetera.
Doctor: ...
Zera: Not to mention that I have battled in all the same places GodismyDD and SuperiorGhost have.
Tirithiel: The same here. In fact, I've been after Grievous and travelling space and time trying to find my brother for years.
Doctor: But have you been the good man that goes to war? Have you burned your own home planet, have you........
SuperiorGhost: That's enough of that. Let's just watch the movies.
Zera: *suddenly begins taking the long way to the theater* Yes, enough of this talk. Let's go.
Everyone: *Follows*
Legolas: *To Aragorn* See? See!?! I told you you it was crazy in here.
GodismyDD: Indeed, it is! Which is why I love it here! Never a dull moment!
Tirithiel: *looks curiously at Zera*
Zera: *glances back at Legolas* So, where's Gimli?
Legolas: Umm, well...you see...he....I...WE HAD A FIGHT OKAY! *Starts tearing up*
Zera: Well, elves and dwarves have never really gotten along since...
Tirithiel: Since before the Dark Days.
GodismyDD: What happened? Is he still upset about you asking your father if your mother was his brother? He seriously has to let that go! Very few know that dwarf females have beards!
Legolas: Well you know how dwarves don't have many...well any table manners. He started belching after every bite, I couldn't stand it. And he said that I should join in, a burping contest, he called it.
Zera: *snickers* Table manners. Yeah, that doesn't surprise me.
GodismyDD: It is true that dwarves aren't exactly known for their table manners.
SuperiorGhost: I'm so, so sorry Legolas. May your friendship be renewed in Eru's time.
Doctor: *Waves impatiently at the group* I've been waiting on you. You've passed in front of me about a thousand times, and I was counting. The theater is right here!
GodismyDD: *To herself* Again, I am so observant! Not!
Zera: *mutters* You can say that again.
Everyone: *Hurries into the colosseum sized theater room.*
SuperiorGhost: Na vedui! Elo! This is huge! Let's get started!
GodismyDD: Hey Doctor, remember the last time we had a Star Wars movie marathon?
Doctor: Fairly well, although that was five me's ago.
GodismyDD: Ah, yes. You always wore a ridiculously long and colorful scarf. *chuckles as she remembers*
*Out of nowhere* R2-D2: Beep, bloop. Aroo! *Plugs Episode 1 into the Blu-Ray*
Legolas: *whispers to GodismyDD* What is that?
GodismyDD: *whispers back* You'll find out soon.
~~~~~~Timeskip to after the movies~~~~~~
Legolas: Sixteen hours of my life. My heart is wrenched from my soul!
SuperiorGhost: Wasn't it GREAT!? *Hyper-active now from the T.A.R.D.I.S. provided snacks.*
GodismyDD: Wasn't it just FANTASTIC!???!!!!!!!!!!!
Doctor: Hey, that's my catchphrase! You can't just steal catchphrases!
SuperiorGhost: Sorry, but in this chapter alone we've taken the catchphrases of you and your two future selves.
GodismyDD: Isn't that a spoiler?
SuperiorGhost: They're just catchphrases. He probably won't even notice them until he begins to use them.
GodismyDD: Very true!
Doctor: Am I ever ginger?
SuperiorGhost: Shhh, spoilers!
GodismyDD: *giggles*
Legolas: Some things do indeed make sense now. Darth Vader, for example. I never knew him from any movie, just from GodismyDD's Book of Random.
Doctor: Here is the helpline. Use it after you leave the T.A.R.D.I.S. and remember to fill me in on what will need to happen.
GodismyDD: Okie day! *she says while eating chocolate chips*
Everyone: *Leaves the blue box and watch from the outside as it de-materializes.*
SuperiorGhost: *Already has his phone out and begins dialing the number* I don't know about everyone else, but I'm eager to get to the question!
GodismyDD: Yes, indeed!
Zera: Yeah, I've been waiting to hear it for quite awhile. That's the only reason I've been around this long!
Tirithiel: Zera, be nice.
SuperiorGhost: Here he comes, remember, he won't remember any of you other than us authors.
Doctor: *Pokes his head out of the T.A.R.D.I.S.* Hello?
SuperiorGhost: *Quickly fills Nine in*....Now would you please take GodismyDD and I to the time and place of line 22?
Doctor: I suppose? *Slightly shocked*
~~~~~Line 22~~~~~
Tirithiel: Zera convinced me to come here with her. She's searching for her family, but she... isn't very fond of people- or anyone/anything on two legs- so I came with her to do some talking for her. I don't exactly know why I did this for her though.
Cody: I'm going to leave now... *Looks slightly freaked out. Begins walking to the door.*
GodismyDD and SuperiorGhost from the future: *Grab Commander Cody by the arms and push him toward the group.*
SuperiorGhost from the future: You're not going anywhere.
GodismyDD from the future: Wow, there's me! Ha! Going back in time is so cool!
SuperiorGhost from the future: Agreed! And after this, Cody will be with us again, and...wait. We won't have travelled here to change it. Or would we?...AAGH PARADOXES!
GodismyDD from the future: Well, we've pushed him in the right direction! Shall we leave now? Wait a minute... this is future us, and we're going back to the past, so how are there not going to be two us's!?
SuperiorGhost from the future: Great Scott! I didn't think about that. We are now from a different timeline!
GodismyDD from the future: Well, The Doctor does it all the time and there's only one him when he gets back to the right timeline, so I'm sure things will be fine!
SuperiorGhost from the future: He does, but he rarely goes to the exact same time, remember "Father's Day"? He saw himself there. And...wait...if we don't discuss it, nothing will be solidified in time, let's just go. Maybe that'll fix it!
GodismyDD: Oh! I remember that! First time The Doctor got mad at Rose. And yes, maybe it will!
Both: *Hurry back to the T.A.R.D.I.S. and go back to the present. Whether they are the same or not, no-one will ever know...*
~~~~~Present (back in the Green Dragon Inn)~~~~~
Aragorn: *To Commander Cody* So you're telling me, that you are a clone of someone else?
Cody: Yes, sir.
SuperiorGhost and GodismyDD: *Appear out of a rift in space-time (T.A.R.D.I.S. door)* Hello!
Legolas: Suilad! Where did you run off to?
GodismyDD: Oh, nowhere too special. Just there and here.
Aragorn: I thought the expression was 'here and there'.
GodismyDD: Well, yes. But I'm not normal, you know.
SuperiorGhost: Neither of us are. In my opinion, if you are "normal" then you aren't in the right!
GodismyDD: Agreed! And besides, is there really such a thing as "normal"?
SuperiorGhost: Well, the only "normal" I know is the world's normal, and that normal is terrible. But now for the question!
Legolas: What question?
GodismyDD: Oh, he's been meaning to ask it all chapter long!
SuperiorGhost: Indeed! Commander Cody, please come stand over here.
Commander Cody: Fine. *Walks over*
SuperiorGhost: I've travelled through dimensions and time to ask this one question: Commander Cody, did you feel any regret about Order 66 after shooting down Obi-Wan Kenobi? I mean, you had just given him his lightsaber back, and then you loosed an artillery cannon on him.
Commander Cody: *is silent for several seconds before answering* Yes, I did regret it, in the very back of my mind: where the true me was. While I was being controlled by Sidious in Order 66, a part of me was still alive. I still did have a conscious- a guilty one, at that. But there was nothing I could do. I was a helpless clone, built for only one purpose: to serve the Emperor. It was torture; every second of it. I only had peace when I had finally died and was reunited with Master Kenobi.
SuperiorGhost: That was...really nice, and sad. I...don't know what to say.
Cody: *Puts on his helmet to hide his tears.*
SuperiorGhost: *tearing up* We need to lighten the mood. Maybe another story elsewhere?
GodismyDD: *wipes tears from eyes* Sure! Anything to lighten the mood. *tries holding back sobs as she speaks*
SuperiorGhost: Alright, the readers and the two of us definitely need it.
*Legolas and Aragorn quickly wipe their eyes, not really wanting to be seen crying in public*
GodismyDD: Indeed.
