Two days after the meeting of Thrawn and Vader's forces there isn't a moments rest. Any available hand is being put to work to research new weapons and defenses against the Nambalashu. Shadow is leading the research projects offering all knowledge he has to discover new weak points and ways to defend against the aliens, all while trying to reach Kerrigan to have her search for the remaining 4 chaos crystals. Though her disappearance has made her difficult to locate. Though aside from times of war there are other matters, which friends and family gather to celebrate.
Cecilia: Come on he'll be up any second!
Flan: You sure he'll like it? He usually doesn't take too well with surprises...
Vader: He'll be shocked, with the war starting he'll be expecting us to forget his birthday.
Cecilia: Its Ani, he always hated surprises when it came to combat and food. Besides with everything that's happened these past few days he'll appreciate the change of mood, he's never been one for gloomy....
Vader: He just turned the shower off...everyone hide...
30 minutes later.
Cecilia: Whats taking him so long?
Vader: He must really work hard to brush his teeth?
Flan: Maybe he has indigestion?
Cecilia: He just woke up! How can he have indigestion?
Tom: Maybe he's doing drugs...
Flan: You always say that about everyone.you even accused your mom of doing drugs...
Tom: Well she was! She was putting spice on the ham!
Cecilia: Cooking spice!
Vader: Quiet...he's coming down...::Anakin is coming down the stairs yawning wearing his Jedi robes, he flicks on a light switch and he sees the entire down stairs light up with his friends from the Jedi Academy of both Vader's and Luke's there::
Party Guests: SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANAKIN! :: Anakin's face cracks a smile as he lets out a laugh and walks down to greet his two close friends and father::
Anakin: Guys, dad, thanks for everything, you didn't have to.
Flan: Anakin, you've saved my life a few times, even if it was in any actual danger physically.
Vader: Anakin, you deserve it, I- ::his intercom beeps::
Officer: Lord Vader, you are needed on the bridge, there is urgent news...
Vader: All right...::he sighs heavily:: I'll be there in a second....Anakin I'm sorry I-
Anakin: Dad, its all right, you are needed, right now the universe is in danger.
Vader: Thanks...I'll make it up to you, however, before I go let me give you your present ::Vader pulls out a holo-data pad and hands it to Anakin::
Anakin: Whats this?
Vader: It's your new command ship, latest technology, yours to name, and also yours to choose your first mates.
Anakin: I thought only masters could be in command or first mates to a military vessel
Vader: You and your candidates are worthy, and we need the top personnel to lead us to victory and save as many lives as we can.
Anakin: Thank you, father....For my First Mates I choose-
Vader: Flan And Cecilia?
Anakin: Who else?
Vader: What of the name for your vessel?
Anakin: It's a difficult choice...Resembles a super star destroyer and an eclipse....I'm going to have to add teeth to the front end, I want this thing to instill fear in whoever hears its name and whatever sees it.
Flan: Burning Fury?
Cecilia: Furious Squirrels? ::Everyone stares at Cecilia:: What? Squirrels scare me...
Anakin: No...this vessel deserves a name like-
Vader: The Incinerator?
Anakin: That's one of Shadows' warships...I was thinking of Death Revenant
Vader: A little on the morbid side, but it will get the message across, She's all yours, waiting on dock J329G. She's still dry-docked so any modifications you wish, now is the time. All her weapons have been modified to the combat the Nambalashu, she is yours to command...I must be heading off now..Happy Birthday Anakin ::he and Anakin hug and then Vader telaports to the bridge of his flagship::
Anakin: I guess that makes us Master now eh?
Flan: Your own ship! Dude that's so rad!
Anakin: Well we'll be able to help take out their forces, Flan you still air brush?
Flan: Whoa! I am not painting the teeth on that monster!
Anakin: Actually I was gunna ask you to draw up a grim reaper skeleton thing to hang up on the bridge, make it the ships icon.
Flan: Oh...whew...Sure ill go work on that right now, I'll also get the dry-dock crew to start painting the teeth on it.
Anakin: Good...take care Flan ::They do their handshake and Flan takes off in his Camaro::
Cecilia: Well, well Master Anakin Good to see I have you to myself right now ::Cecilia raises her hand to Anakin's face and they begin to kiss:: We should probably look over the ship's specs, learn a little bit more of what she can handle.
Anakin: Lets go...::Cecilia leads Anakin up to the room while the guests continue partying on::
