Chapter 36 Sphere of Influence
It's been about a month since Anakin was rescued and since Savage was taken into custody to study his immortality. And since then the Republic has completely regained ground in the mess that Arana made.
Currently right now Sean was in the medical labs checking on Anakin for final inspection.
"I gotta admit I never thought you could regrow arms and legs like this." Anakin said inspecting his new arms and legs that were regrown back a month ago thanks to the new treatment using Orga's cells.
"The miracles of new modern science. Even your hair has grown back. Everything checks out. I would say you're in perfect condition to rejoin the war. Even you can't stay out of the action for long." Sean said making him smirk.
"True enough." Anakin said as they left.
"Still I'm sure Padme was enjoying having you around for a whole month." Sean said making him grin.
"You could say that." Anakin said before Orga passed the catwalk for his routine inspection. "I still cannot believe you actually made these things." Anakin said.
"I actually had the Titans in the works before you got captured. They have a lot more gifts than you might think. You should see your home world now thanks to them." Sean said.
"Meaning what?" Anakin asked before Sean showed him Tatooine. "Thats not Tatooine. It's all glass now." Anakin said seeing a lush green world.
"This is what it is now. The titans have the Ability to Terraform planets like Tatooine from what Abigor turned it into...Into Lush green worlds." Sean said making him chuckle.
"Wow I have really missed out these long months." Anakin said.
"I actually got the designs from Movies back home. And people say TV is bad for you." Sean said amused.
"Clearly not." Anakin said before a couple Gunships came out of a space bridge.
"Those must be the new Relics. Let's see what we got." Sean said heading down.
"Relics?" Anakin asked.
"While you were gone Admiral Thrawn made it a case to start collecting Relics to keep them out of Red Scorpion hands. I agreed with him and some have proven to be useful like the Talismans of the Chinese Zodiac and the Shen Gong Wu." Sean said making him snicker at that last one.
"Shen Gong Wu?" Anakin asked amused.
"Their actually called God Work or Tool of God in English." Sean said before Heavy and his team brought out a few crates. "What we get this time?" Sean asked.
"Not sure." Heavy said opening one up before they looked inside.
"Oh wow." Sean said seeing a glowing Blue Cube.
"What is that?" Anakin asked before Sean took it out slowly.
"This is the Tesseract. It holds Cosmic Energy." Sean said. (I know originally I said There was only going to be One Infinity stone but then An idea came to me. The six stones will exist but so will a variety of others that can hold an essential aspect of life)
"Wait like actually cosmic Energy? Could we somehow use that?" Anakin asked.
"Maybe. We're talking about one of the infinity stones here." Sean said.
"Infinity stones?" Heavy asked.
"Stones of great power that represent an essential balance of sorts." Sean said.
"Maybe we could find and use all of them to end this war." Anakin asked.
"Wishful thinking but my father was concerned with what might happen if someone found them all. They can't be too close to one another or they'll push themselves away to prevent anyone from using them all at once." Sean said.
"A rather brilliant idea." Kenobi said walking to them.
"He did think of things like this for a reason." Sean said placing it down. "Get this to Shockwave and see if he can extract any energy from it." Sean said.
"Right away sir." Cutup said taking it away.
"Now lets see what we got here." Sean said opening the next one. "Oh boy." Sean said.
"Not good." Mimir said in alarm.
"What?" Kenobi asked picking up some book. "It's just a book." Kenobi said.
"That is no ordinary book. That is the Darkhold. Like the Gem we were after months ago it grants infinite knowledge on whatever the reader is after be it science or magic." Sean said. (From Agents of Shield)
"So whats the problem then? We could use this and end the war in no time." Heavy said.
"It comes with a price unlike the Gem. The reader slowly begins to lose his mind and becomes highly paranoid. Many have gone mad using that thing." Sean said placing it in a metal box and sealed it. "Fives escort this to the Temple immediately. Tell Mace this is level 10 Relic." Sean said.
"Right away." Fives said before he and a small group of Clone commandos took it away.
"That thing should have never seen the light of day." Mimir said.
"I'm gonna assume theres a story behind this." Anakin said having already met Mimir before.
"Very much so. That thing is what led to the creation of the Infinity stones. It was created By the Fallen Elder God Shinok. No mortal should ever posses that kind of power. The Gem is one thing it's safe that book is not." Mimir said.
"Ok I'm seriously hoping the next one is less dangerous." Sean said opening the next crate.
"Oh now this is way less dangerous." Mimir said seeing a set of armor and weapons inside.
"Whoa. Now this is what I call armor. What is this?" Heavy asked.
"Dwarven Armor. Made by students of Hephaestus during the old days when science was near non existent for most of the world save for Atlantis and Wakanda." Sean said picking up the helmet. (From Skyrim)
"I assume many of his students made unique armor in those days?" Kenobi said examining a Greatsword.
"Oh more than you can imagine. This must have been kept to honor the past." Sean said before taking out the Battle Axe.
"We could cause some serious damage with these." Rex said taking it.
"Maybe." Sean said opening the next crate. "Huh another set." Sean said pulling out a green Greatsword. "Glass Set armor and weapons." Sean said. (Also from Skyrim)
"Glass?" Anakin asked amused.
"It's mostly just a name. Believe me these weapons are just as deadly as any sword." Sean said spinning it around before placing it on his back. "I'm keeping this." Sean said making him smirk.
"Sometimes I think you're more into the old ways than modern." Kenobi said inspecting a large battle axe.
"Ah the old ways had some class when it came to old school weapons long before guns." Sean said before opening the next one. "Whoa." Sean said pulling out a spear weapon that had glowing purple crystals at the ends. "The Spear of Destiny." Sean said. (From God of war 2)
"Huh. You're right the old ways had class." Anakin said inspecting it.
"Hey Sean." Ward said walking in.
"Ward you got something?" Sean asked.
"I think so. Yukari was looking into some old files of the Jedi order." Ward said.
"She's supposed to be looking for Relics." Sean said.
"She has a program helping her with that. While she was looking into the history of the order with Raven they came across something." Ward said handing him a file before he read it.
"Are we sure this is accurate?" Sean asked.
"I think so." Ward said.
Later
"You think a Jedi from the days of the Old Republic is still alive in some stasis Chamber on the Planet Jebble?" Mace asked reading the report.
"I believe so. Say what you will about the Sith but we can all agree they made things to last forever." Sean said.
"Indeed. Still according to this report this Jedi was possessed by an evil Sith Spirit in the form of an amulet around her neck." Mundi said.
"I can handle that. We've encountered situations like this before on Earth several times." Sean said.
"Who exactly is this Jedi?" Fisto asked.
"According to the report her name is Celeste Morne." Sean said.
"We can't spare much of our forces at the moment. These new allies the Glorft have made things very difficult with their Mechs." Mace said.
"I'm already building smaller Jaegers to fight them. Any regular Pilot will do honestly. I can take Coulson's team along with a specialist who can assist us." Sean said.
"Wouldn't this be more appropriate to do after the war?" Adi asked.
"They may find out about this as well. I gotta inform the Chancellor about this to let him know where we'll be incase theres an emergency." Sean said leaving.
After arriving at his office he explained the situation.
"A Jedi from the days of the Old Republic? Frankly I find that hard to believe." Palpatine said.
"You've seen what most would consider the same when it comes to my world and yet it theres. People can say a lot about the Sith but they make everything to last. It's one of their...More unique gifts." Sean said making him chuckle.
"I agree. Still wouldn't this be more appropriate to do after the war?" Palpatine asked.
"Normally I would say yes but in this case having someone who's from the days when Mandalore was the greatest threat of the Republic could be beneficial when it comes to Military operations." Sean said.
"I see. Then by all means you may proceed." Palpatine said as he left not seeing the grin on his face.
Sean met up with Tarkin outside.
"Now we'll see what happens. If the Separatists do indeed arrive we know who told them." Tarkin said.
"Yeah." Sean said.
Arriving back at the labs Coulson's team was getting ready a light cruiser.
"Remind me why we're not using the Space Bridge?" Daisy asked loading up the supplies.
"The sector we're going to is in unmarked territory. The Space Bridge only works in areas that are programed into it. And since the Republic has had no need of that sector the coordinates are incomplete." Sean said.
"So once we arrive it will be fed into the system." Garret said.
"Yeah." Sean said as Heavy and his team got on.
"You said you were bringing a specialist." Anakin said.
"And here he is." Sean said seeing a man in unique armor walking to them. "Allow me to introduce Floyd Lawton AKA Deadshot. He's also a part of Slade's Commando squad." Sean said. (I know the JLU version was a royal scumbag and all but there have been more noble versions of him before sometimes. Picture him from Injustice 2 video game. Even his arcade ending had a happy ending)
"Been a long time kid." Floyd said.
"Yeah. We'll put the briefing in the command room." Sean said as they were about to leave.
"Hold on." Adi said coming aboard.
"You coming with?" Sean asked surprised.
"If this Celeste is still alive a fellow Jedi on the council may calm her down." Adi said.
"I could do that." Sean said making her smirk.
"Calm her down and convince her to join your harem?" Adi teased before walking away.
"Oh dude that seriously wounded my pride." Sean said making Anakin chuckle before the ship took off.
Everyone was in the command room for the mission brief.
"Ok as most here know this is a rescue mission. One Jedi who has been in stasis for nearly 4,000 years." Sean said.
"How exactly is she still alive?" Simmons asked.
"Say what you will about the Sith but they make shit to last." Sean said.
"The only dumb about them is that stupid rule of two. I mean there are like what? A hundred thousand Jedi knights?" Hunter asked.
"Not even fucking close you're up by one zero." Sean said.
"If we had those kind of numbers we would win this war in a heartbeat." Anakin said.
"Numbers do not win a war." Mimir said.
"True." Coulson said before bringing up a hologram of the area. "Most of this is based on old Archive data so we're essentially going in blind." Coulson said.
"Don't we always?" Ward asked.
"This is different. On Earth we basically know what to expect. Here we have absolutely no idea." Coulson said.
"So we get in rescue the girl get that Sith Spirit out of her body and we head back to base waiting for our next mission. Sounds simple enough." Deadshot said.
"When it comes to the Sith nothing is ever just simple." Sean said before walking away.
Entering the medical room he made sure everything was ready incase Celeste was in critical condition.
"You have doubts about the mission don't you?" Sean asked knowing Adi was behind him.
"Doubts? No. I fully agree having someone from when War was a constant has advantages. It's the Amulet that concerns me. It could take over anyone if they got close enough." Adi said.
"I can handle that." Sean said.
"So what else do we know about Celeste?" Adi asked.
"I know she was part of a group called the Jedi Covenant. Jedi who hated the Sith with a passion which was frowned upon by the entire order when they were discovered. They were willing to do anything to stop them by any means necessary." Sean said.
"Sounds like Jedi you would have supports." Adi said.
"Hardly. There was proof the whole group was corrupt since they had no boundaries. It's one thing to do things like me and those of Earth when the situation calls for it but doing what we do to everyone they suspect is guilty is going too far. Theres a time, Place and situation for those ideals." Sean said making her smile.
"I agree. Still it's nice to see those kind of Jedi you disagree with like that." Adi said making him grin.
"Trust me I have rules I don't break. I may the qualities of both the Jedi and Sith but I use my ideals to do real good for everyone." Sean said looking around. As he was doing so Adi finally noticed he had lightsabers back on his waist along with a double bladed lightsaber on his back.
"Your carrying Lightsabers again." Adi noted.
"I remember my conversation with Petro and realized I need to do the same when it comes to having multiple forms of combat. If I rely solely on the Star Saber I diminish my other skills." Sean said.
Coulson was getting his team ready for the mission when Anakin walked in.
"You sure your team can handle this?" Anakin asked.
"We've handled situations like this for over 70 years. Thats what SHIELD does." Coulson said.
"Why exactly was SHIELD created?" Anakin asked.
"Shortly after the war ended various powered people started showing up. Some caused by scientific accidents others were completely random. So SHIELD was created to monitor these people and help control their powers by training them. Then Mutants started showing up but their powers were caused by the Nuclear radiation after the nukes were dropped on Japan. Radiation helps Trigger the X gene inside them." Coulson said.
"That makes sense." Anakin said.
Later
The Light cruiser exited Hyper Space before appearing in front of the target planet.
"It's a frozen wasteland." Fitz said.
"If these Titans can fix my home world I'm sure they can fix up this one." Anakin said.
"We only send them to planets that were like yours cause they have potential this planet does not." Sean said programing some data into the system. "Ok the coordinates are in the Space Bridge network. If we need backup we can call for some." Sean said as the ship landed before they got out.
"Remind me again why was this Jedi here?" Simmons asked.
"Thousands of years ago there were thousands of Mandalorians on this planet getting ready to invade the Republic. But they were turned into Mutant Freaks known as Rakghouls. Celeste had the Talisman on her at the time and was controlling them." Sean said.
"How could she control them?" Ward asked.
"Because the Sith lord who possessed her also made the virus that made those things. Every Sith lord from Past to present has always had one objective in mind. Immortality to escape death itself. Some found rather unique methods for this." Sean said as they walked to their destination.
"Like sealing their spirits inside certain objects." Adi said.
"The Talisman around her neck is one of them." Sean said before they came to an entrance but it was blocked by a large pile of ice. "Oh shit thats just great." Sean said.
"What? You can just burn it." Anakin said.
"No need." Daisy said getting in front of entrance before holding out her hands and the place shook before the ice crumbled apart freeing the entrance.
"What the?" Anakin tried to say.
"Why do you think we call her Quake?" Coulson asked amused making him smirk.
"Another Enhanced?" Adi asked.
"Yes but not by Earth Science. She's what we call an Inhuman. Their humans...With Alien blood in their DNA. Kree blood to be exact." Sean said getting the team to look at him.
"How do you know?" Ward asked.
"They told me. During the days of the Supreme Intelligence it sent out Kree Reapers to find inhabitants to find those who could go through the same process as Daisy did. But it was shut down out of concern they may rebel. When I brought this up to them they admitted it was them." Sean said.
"And yet you trust them?" Adi asked.
"The Kree lived under the rule of the Supreme Intelligence for centuries. Now they're a better society without it. Besides don't act like the Jedi have a perfect history either." Sean said.
"I suppose thats a good point." Adi said as they went inside.
"This place goes on for miles." Fits said looking at the device in his hands.
"I say we split up and meet back here if we haven't found her." Garrett said.
"Right. Anakin you're with me." Sean said as they split up.
"I gotta ask. Why go through all this just to save someone from the days of the Old Republic? Sure we don't leave our own behind but we have a war to finish." Anakin said.
"The knowledge of battle tactics the Jedi used back in those days could be beneficial. Add to the fact...I'm expecting something to happen." Sean said.
"You mean like an ambush by the Separatists?" Anakin asked.
"More or less. Theres certain information I can't tell you right now. Not out of mistrust but some information is best kept to yourself. Understand?" Sean asked.
"I guess." Anakin said before they came to a wall. "Well, great. Should have brought Quake with us." Anakin said before Sean pulled out the Staff of Ra. "Whoa. What is that?" Anakin asked.
"Stand clear!" Sean yelled blasting the wall to pieces making the whole place shake.
"The whole place just shook! What was that?" Coulson asked on comms.
"That was me. Came to wall." Sean said on the comms before he and Anakin entered a room before seeing something. "And we struck gold. Found her." Sean said sending them the location.
Walking to the stasis chamber Sean examined it.
"Looks to be in perfect condition. Like I said the Sith made shit to last." Sean said before placing his hand on it.
"Shouldn't we wait for the others?" Anakin asked.
"We can handle this now." Sean said ripping the top off before throwing it into the wall.
Looking inside Sean saw a woman with long black hair tied up with White skin before she slowly began to open her eyes revealing them to be blue before looking at him before he took off his helmet and smiled at her.
"Hello there." Sean said making her smile before screaming as she held her head.
"Whats wrong with her?" Anakin asked before Sean saw the Talisman around her neck before grabbing it. However his eyes saw a Red Spirit appear before him. The Spirit of the Sith Lord Karness Muur who grinned at him.
"You shall serve as an excellent vessel of power." Muur said entering his body.
Muur laughed as he entered Sean's mind ready to take possession.
"Your a bigger fool then I realized." Sean said behind him making him gasp seeing him.
"How did you sense me?" Muur demanded.
"Where I come from people in your position are somewhat common. Still if you think your gonna take over my mind...Think again." Sean said as a three headed blue eyes white dragon appeared behind him before shooting white lightning into the air. (A reminder he can turn into the Blue Eyes ultimate dragon and one more dragon hence where the White lightning comes from)
"Such Power. You could rule the Galaxy with my guidance." Muur said trying to tempt him.
"Go...To...Hell." Sean said before another dragon far larger appeared behind him that was engulfed in golden flames making him gasp in fright before it roared loudly at him as he screamed in fear.
Sean opened his eyes seeing he had the Talisman in hand before crushing it and looked down seeing Celeste was out cold.
"The hell happened?" Anakin asked.
"Muur is gone. I'll explain later." Sean said picking her up bridal style. Suddenly the place started shaking.
"Sean, We got a problem here." Ward said.
"Let me guess Separatists?" Sean asked.
"Worse. Abigor." Mack said making him narrow his eyes.
"You weren't expecting him were you?" Anakin asked.
"Not even close." Sean said.
Adi groaned as she was thrown into the wall by Abigor as Heavy and his team were knocked out.
"You Jedi honestly need a lot of work. You have similar principles as the clan back in Draco's day but you lack the resolve." Abigor said holding his Dark Star Saber.
"I don't need to hear that from a man who constantly tortured a child." Adi said glaring at him.
"Huh? I never once laid a hand on him." Abigor said.
"I find that very difficult to believe." Adi said.
"Oh please you Jedi are all the same. You hear a story and you think you have all the facts. Arrogance if you ask me. Besides...Why would I actually physically harm my own Nephew?" Abigor asked shocking her. "He neglected to mention that didn't he? Well, I can understand why since with fools like that former Jedi Arana and those idiots who throw blind accusations at him sure he would want to keep that information private." Abigor said.
"Your lying." Adi said.
"No I'm not. Kisara was my younger Sister who married Draco after she became a member of the clan. We were both wise beyond our years. I could never actually hurt my own nephews when they were children. Why do you Think I let David live and put him in a Drug induced Coma? I cared for my sister. And not a day goes by where I don't Miss her. Oh yeah...I'm cruel and savage...I won't deny that. But there are people out there that are far...Far worse than me." Abigor said about to slash her making her close her eyes before blood spread on her face.
However it was not her blood making her open her eyes and gasped seeing Sean with his Star Saber out blocking the strike that hit his shoulder.
"Ah and speaking of said nephew." Abigor said before Sean kicked him back.
"I don't know how the hell you found this place but you will leave now." Sean said glaring at him.
"Not until I get what I came for. The Talisman of Muur." Abigor said.
"You mean this?" Sean asked tossing him the crushed talisman making him frown.
"Now why'd you have to go and do that?" Abigor asked as his sword glowed.
"Guess." Sean said having white lightning bounce off him before Golden flames engulfed him. "I'd say we're about even now in terms of power." Sean said as his Star Saber Glowed. "Leave...Now." Sean said making him smirk.
"All right. You win this time." Abigor said vanishing.
Sean shook his head before picking Adi up.
"Is it true?" Adi asked.
"That he's my uncle...Yes. I knew that for a long time." Sean said.
"Why didn't you ever say anything?" Adi asked.
"Would it have truly made a difference in your opinion about me?" Sean asked.
"Of Course not but..." Adi tried to say.
"I didn't say anything at the time because of certain people. If Arana had learned about this what do you think he would have done?" Sean asked.
"Most likely told everyone to get everyone to see things his way by making them think you would turn up the same. And the three you have issues with would use that evidence against you at every turn." Adi said.
"Sometimes Its best to...Keep certain information to yourself. I'm sure you can agree with that." Sean said making her smile.
"Considering the fact is you just took a blow to the shoulder that was meant for me?" Adi said kissing his cheek. "I think so." Adi said making him chuckle.
"And here I thought you were immune to my charm." Sean said making him slap his shoulder making him laugh.
Later
Celeste was being escorted to the healing room for Tsunade to examine her.
"Celeste should make a full recovery in a matter of days. However we now have a situation." Mace said.
"Separatists?" Sean asked.
"No this is on Coruscant. Lately over the last week multiple victims have been killed in rather...Horrific ways. We can only assume the person responsible is from Earth." Kenobi said.
"Horrific how exactly?" Sean asked.
"At least ten victims have been killed. All of whom had their upper torso skin cut off in form of a T-Shirt." Kota said Making him narrow his eyes slightly.
"We have a belief this might be a ritualistic killing of some sort." Mundi said.
"You'd be Dead wrong on that. Theres nothing religious of Ritualistic about these killings not even slightly or Sexual inclination either." Sean said.
"And how can you be so sure of that?" Mace asked.
"A sense of duty, I would say, is our Killer's motive." Sean said
"What kind of serial Killer kills out of obligation?" Shaak Ti asked.
"The Chancellor wants these killings to stop since it's effecting the Senate negatively." Kenobi said.
"Their worried the Separatists are behind this." Kota said.
"Do we have a lead?" Anakin asked.
"Aramaki believes so." Fisto said. (A reminder he's from Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex)
Later
"Marco Amoretti, Former Petty officer with the American Navy. According to Director Fury theres a high probability this man is our killer." Aramaki said showing the photo the man. (From Ghost in the Shell)
"What makes you so sure?" Anakin asked.
"He was a respected soldier during the days before Earth joined the Republic." Aramaki said not seeing Sean's eyes narrow on Marco's photo.
"I've never seen him before." Heavy said.
"No you wouldn't. He's been honorably discharged." May said.
"HMPH!" Sean said in disgust.
"And apparently Sean's got some issues with him." Ward said to Anakin.
"Any idea why?" Anakin asked making him shrug.
"What makes the director think it's him?" Fives asked.
"Theres another case with a Striking resemblance to this one on Earth and he was last seen in the area where it occurred. We know he's on Coruscant. We just don't know where and since the entire planet is one giant city." Aramaki said.
"It makes locating him even more difficult." Echo said.
"More so the CIA are demanding once captured we hand him over without condition." Aramaki said.
"Now wait just a minute! Thats way outside their jurisdiction. And why do we have to clean up a mess by the CIA?" Togusa asked.
"I do hope you'll be able to help us in that regard." A man said accompanied by another clearly members of the CIA.
"Great more of Peter's pawns." Sean said annoyed.
"Agent Suzuki Sato, CIA." Sato said.
"I'm Tanaka Watanabe." Tanaka said.
"Piss off." Sean said.
"I thought Sean had good relations with the CIA?" Ahsoka asked Motoko.
"He does but these two work for the Director personally. They even tried to plant false evidence against him at one point." Motoko said.
"Ok heres how this is gonna work. We'll split up into multiple teams of where each crime occurred." Sean said.
"Since this is our operation shouldn't we be calling the shots?" Sato asked before Sean aimed a purple lightsaber at his neck making him step back.
"Don't fucking test me slime." Sean said putting it away.
Later
Sean, Anakin and Sato were at the first crime scene.
"According to the reports by the EM-208's theres was signs of a struggle." Anakin said looking at the report.
"Yeah. Our victim tried to fend off her attacker." Sean said looking at the ground where the body was found. "He ambushed her here and then proceeded to skin her." Sean said.
"Don't those Yautja as you call them do the same?" Anakin asked having caught up on them.
"The Skin the whole body and they don't kill civilians cause their eyes its dishonorable." Sean said as they got on a speeder.
"Is there something you know about this case? You seem to be pretty pissed off." Anakin said.
"Let me be clear. When I find that fucker he can kiss his cold blooded ass goodbye." Sean said.
"You missed you're calling as an actor." Sato said laughing before Sean sped up making him hit his head.
"Asshole." Sean said.
Meanwhile
"Did you notice Sean acting...Strange?" Ahsoka asked Motoko.
"I did. He knows more than he's letting on. I had heard He and Marco had served together when he was 11 before he tried to kill Marco for something. What it was no one said and the file was heavily redacted." Motoko said as they were meeting with Director Fury.
"So Marco is our guy after all?" Fury said.
"Looks that way. So far we haven't been able to find him." Motoko said before Maria saw Tanaka and frowned.
"The hell is he doing here?" Maria asked making him smirk.
"Agent Hill, a pleasure as always." Tanaka said making her glare.
"And I thought Sean hated him." Ahsoka said before A SHIELD agent rushed in.
"Can this wait? We're in the middle of something." Fury said.
"It's regarding the case. Locals are coming forward of having possession of data disks that show the Murders first hand."
"WHAT!" Maria yelled in shock while Tanaka looked completely calm.
"Sean we may have a lead. We're heading to the shopping district. Apparently our killer has been selling videos of his killings." Motoko said on comms.
"Of course. Stay in contact." Sean said as they went to the next murder location.
'Chief.' Motoko said using her Cyber Brain to communicate with him.
'I know. Tanaka was completely calm when the disks were brought up. Only one reason for that.' Aramaki said.
'He was expecting this. Something isn't right.' Motoko said.
Meanwhile
Sean, Anakin and Sato watched one of the murder videos before the woman in them started screaming in agonizing pain as she was skinned before Anakin bolted out of the Speeder in disgust.
"The hell is he doing passing that around?" Anakin asked in disgust.
"Thats his objective as far as he's concerned. Isn't that right Sato?" Sean asked.
"I have no idea what you're referring to." Sato said calmly.
"Four years before Dooku found me I served in the 75th ranger division for a few months. I spent some time in the jungles of South America during that time." Sean said.
"Fascinating but I don't see what that has to do with this." Sato said.
"STOP PLAYING DUMB! YOU IDIOTS NEARLY BOTCHED THE WHOLE PEACE ACCORDS WITHT THAT STUNT OF YOURS!" Sean yelled while he looked smug. "And now that nightmare has resurfaced after all these years." Sean said.
"Nightmare?" Anakin asked.
"Get in." Sean said getting him to do just that before they took off. "I'll explain this simply. 9 years ago South America had some Insurgents that were from local villages. They didn't trust the UN before it became the UNSC. So a few sick members of the CIA created an operation to make them lose their will to fight. Operation Sunset." Sean said.
"And what exactly did they do?" Anakin asked.
"Guess." Sean said.
"The things Marco is doing right now? Why would they do that?" Anakin asked in disbelief.
"They were cruel and sadistic. Marco and a few others did this operation. Befriending local villages to gain their trust and then they would kill the women and children the same way Marco is now or worse." Sean said.
"For the record no such operation exists in the CIA." Sato said.
"Shut up." Sean said.
"So what the hell is Marco doing here? Is he working with the Separatists?" Anakin asked.
"No but I can see why you would think that. He's still fighting his own war. A lot of the members of this group lost their sanity and started doing it to a lot of people and had to be put down. Marco is the last member of the group." Sean said narrowing his eyes.
Meanwhile
"General Shepherd." Sargent Foley said to the General in Hologram form. (From Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2)
"Sargent. I need some information from you and Corporal Dunn." Shepherd said as Dunn appeared.
"What kind of information sir?" Dunn asked.
"Sean was part of your group 9 years ago in South America right?" Motoko asked.
"Yes, Ma'am. One of the best. What about it?" Foley asked.
"Did anything involve Marco?" Shepherd asked making them frown.
"Yes, I think I know what this is about. Operation Sunset." Foley said.
"What exactly happened?" Motoko asked.
"Routine recon. We found one of the villages but found a horrific sight. All the women in children were killed." Dunn said.
"Let me guess. Their skin was cut off in the form of a T-Shirt?" Motoko asked.
"Yes, Thats when we heard him yelling at Marco and he tried to kill him. Nearly strangled him to death had we not gotten him off. Marco was taken into custody after that and was given an honorable discharge. Though It should have been a dishonorable one but the Director of the CIA pulled some strings." Foley said.
"Thats why Sean was so pissed off about this case. He knows what Marco has done. He knew it was him even before we told him." Shepherd said.
"Last time he nearly killed him. He'll likely try again." Foley said ending transmission before Batuo dragged in Tanaka.
"We got a serious problem. This whole thing is a set up. Ishikawa was able to hack into the CIA communication network. That idiot gave them different orders. The orders are to eliminate Marco and make Sean do it to prove to the Senate he's a murderer. Covering up their tracks and the only survivor to project Sunset." Batuo said.
"A set up?" Motoko asked.
"Dirty bastards. We were being used by them. From the start you wanted Sean to kill Marco." Aramaki said.
"So what? Kruger is a threat to the galaxy. You people can't see that cause your blinded by false promises. But we're not and we'll do whatever it takes to bring him down." Tanaka said making Motoko frown.
"General keep an eye on him. I'm going after them." Motoko said rushing off.
"Technically, we're not guilty of anything. Kruger is a threat that needs to be dealt with. If you won't do anything then we will." Tanaka said.
Meanwhile
Sean and Anakin were in the Sewer systems while Sato was outside. As they were looking Anakin found a gun in a plastic bag.
"The hell is this doing here?" Anakin asked.
"He probably left that here incase he ran out of ammo." Sean said before they heard gunfire and ran off.
Marco was shooting the EM-208's before he ran into a tunnel just as they arrived.
"Split Up." Sean said as they separated.
Sean came out of one tunnel before Marco started shooting at him but the bullets just bounced off his armor before he ran off.
"MARCO!" Sean roared running after him before seeing a door open before kicking it down and walked inside. "Lets finish this." Sean said before Marco tried to jump on him from above but Sean kicked him into a wall before pulling out a pistol.
"Please...Just kill me." Marco said.
"What was that?" Sean asked before picking up his knife.
"Skin me with my own knife. Please just end it." Marco said making him frown.
"And you think thats gonna make up for the crimes you did to those people! FINE WITH ME!" Sean yelled aiming at him as Anakin rushed in.
"WAIT!" Anakin yelled before Sean unloaded the clip...Into the wall as Marco cowered in fear.
"Your not getting off that easy Marco. You're a monster but you weren't always. Now...Your gonna tell me how you got on Coruscant." Sean said.
Meanwhile
The Three idiots were discussing current events of their plan.
"What if it doesn't work?" Connolly asked.
"It'll work. Kruger may be patient but even he can't let what Marco did go. Once he kills him we'll have all the proof we need to present to the Senate to Arrest him." Laurel said.
"And then one of us can take his place." Peter said.
"Yeah nice try." Sean said entering the room shocking them before SHIELD agents rushed in and cuffed them.
"What do you think you're doing!" Connolly yelled.
"You three are under arrest for sending a serial killer on the people of Coruscant and you director are under Arrest for Project Sunset." Garrett said.
"The charges won't hold. Your source is a deranged serial killer. We'll be out soon enough." Laurel said.
"Not forever since I'm sure Kelly will get you out in say...three months or so. But thats more than enough for me. Take them away." Sean said getting the Agents to do so.
"I honestly though you were gonna shoot him." Anakin said.
"Eh. I'd be lying if I said I didn't consider it. But the moment those two idiots showed up I knew exactly what was going on." Sean said.
"What do you think convinced them to do this?" Anakin asked.
"Probably me. I brought up Operation sunset a couple weeks before we rescued you. Peter must have thought I might use that against him and tried to have me eliminated as a threat." Sean said. (This was brought up last Chapter incase anyone forgot)
"Instead it backfired." Anakin said.
"Yup. Now...We got something to take care of real quick." Sean said as they left.
Later
Norris was in Sean's office again with him, Anakin, Shepherd and Makarov in the room.
"Whats this about? I better be getting new troops." Norris said.
"You won't be getting any troops ever again. Not after I found this." Sean said pulling out a recording of him and Arana after Sean's body shut down to evolve. It showed Norris willingly giving his troops to him in exchange for Turok's public execution. Norris frowned at this.
"I have nothing to be ashamed of. Your brother is a savage." Norris said.
"Look who's talking." Anakin said making him glare.
"You are no longer a colonel of the United States army or the Republic. Instead you are nothing more than an Advisor and observer." Sean said making him jump up.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" Norris yelled.
"Sit down." Shepherd said making him do so.
"I will not have you train more thugs that have no morals. You're lucky you're not in a cell for that stunt. We lost a lot of ground thanks to your men and the people Arana hired. It proves...Your incapable of properly training troops...Period." Sean said making him glare.
"Hence why Turok will now be taking your rank and position as of now." Makarov said.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT! I refuse to lose everything I worked my entire life for to..." Norris tried to say.
"To a what? Say it." Sean said.
"To a slave." Norris said before gasping as Sean started choking him with the force.
"Oh boy." Anakin said knowing what was next as Sean took out a large knife.
"That...Was a mistake." Sean said grabbing his left hand before chopping it off making him scream in agonizing pain before being pushed down. "I'm gonna do to you what I did to Senator Burtoni. You get three shots. This is strike one. Mouth off or do anything two more times...And I kill you. Only difference is your death will be more...Agonizing." Sean said before Senate Commandos escorted him to medical.
"Why don't you just get rid of him now and save us all the headache?" Anakin asked.
"Two reasons. The three idiots would use it against me once they get out creating an even bigger headache. Second...I enjoy watching him squirm and so does Turok." Sean said making him chuckle.
"Fair enough." Anakin said.
"I'll keep a close eye on him." Shepherd said leaving.
"And I have one more thing to take care of." Sean said leaving for the temple.
Arriving at the healing chambers Sean saw Celeste wide awake as she was being examined.
"I see you're finally awake." Sean said walking in.
"Yes, I feel like myself again. What happened to the Talisman?" Celeste asked.
"Destroyed and Muur's spirit is gone...Forever." Sean said.
"I'll give you two some privacy." Tsunade said kissing him before leaving.
"Wait I thought..." Celeste tried to say.
"I am a Jedi but the code has changed...Drastically in the last 2 years since I arrived." Sean said.
"So the code no longer prevents bonds and attachments?" Celeste asked.
"Nope. I've helped change the Jedi into an order that can truly make a difference." Sean said before an alert came up and Sean answered before Palpatine appeared.
"I'm afraid your needed for a senate meeting regarding the situation with Pantora and the Trade Federation." Palpatine said.
"Figures. I'll be right there." Sean said ending transmission.
"Who was that?" Celeste asked.
"That was Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. I'll help you catch up on certain things later." Sean said leaving.
Later
The Senate was gathered to hear the problem between the people of Pantora and the Trade Federation.
"The Trade federation is neutral in this, but Pantora must pay its debt before we resume commerce with the system." The Trade Federation senator said.
"That is a lie. It is well known that the Trade Federation is aligned with the Separatists if past events are clear indication." Chuchi said.
"Slanderous! Just because of a few corrupt members and we do business with them does not mean we are separatists. How many times must we remind you of the commerce treaty of 1647?"
"You give them your cruisers, droids and hyperspace lanes. I would say the Federation is indeed part of the Separatist alliance." Sean said making many agree.
"I beg the Senate to listen to our pleas. Ignore the Trade Federation's feeble attempt to paint this as a domestic financial issue and allow us to resume trade." Chuchi said getting an applause from the Senate.
After that Chuchi was walking to her office.
"Hey Chuchi." Sean said walking to her making her smile before kissing him.
"Well, this certainly brightened my day up." Chuchi said making him chuckle.
"I wouldn't worry too much. Palpatine agrees the Trade Federation is up to something again. One more incident and he'll agree to shut them down permanently." Sean said.
"But we would still need someone to trade with." Chuchi said.
"I have a friend who can help with that." Sean said before they entered her office seeing four of her people one of which was the new Chairman.
"Ah Supreme Commander Kruger. It's a pleasure to finally meet you sir." Papanoida said shaking his hand.
"Likewise. I hear you're a lot better than your predecessor." Sean said.
"Cho unfortunately was an extremist when it came to threats. No one can deny your methods for dealing with him were understandable." Papanoida said. (A reminder Sean and Makarov set him on fire using fuel)
"We only reserve punishments like that for those who act like him." Sean said.
"Allow me to introduce my family. These are my daughters, Chi Eekway and Che Amanwe, and my son, Lon." Papanoida said.
"Father, Amanwe and I are going home. Don't be too late." Eekway said.
"Just have some things to take care of." Papaonida said as they left.
"I can assure you we are closing in on making sure this Blockade ends otherwise the Trade Federation will be shut down immediately." Sean said.
"But who will provide their services once they're gone?" Ion asked.
"I have a friend who can take care of that." Sean said.
Next morning
Sean, Padme and Anakin were on a landing platform as Padme was preparing to head back to Naboo for some urgent matters.\
"I don't like the situation on Pantora one bit. It reminds me far too much of Naboo's own scarred history." Padme said.
"Well, that blockade wasn't all bad. It's how we met." Anakin said making Sean chuckle.
"Thats a unique way of looking at things." Sean said before Turok and Ahsoka rushed to them. "What is it?" Sean asked.
"Someone has kidnapped Chairman Papanoida's daughters." Ahsoka said.
"I was afraid something like this would happen. Guys?" Padme said looking at the two.
"The Jedi can't officially get involved. Taking down Marco was one thing since the Chancellor asked us to stop him. This is different situation." Anakin said.
"We can't officially get involved. But Unofficially is another. Turok, You will help the Chairman and his son find them. Ahsoka you and Chuchi will search for them in the Pantora system to see if the Trade Federation is involved." Sean said.
"Got it." Turoks said as they left.
Later
Papanoida, Ion and Turok were heading to the Apartment when Tan Divo and original Police droids walked out.
"Did you find anything?" Papanoida asked.
"We've completed a thorough sweep of your apartment, Chairman. No evidence of foul play." Divo said.
"Why are you using old Police droids instead of the EM-208's?" Turok asked.
"I like these better." Divo said making him frown.
"My daughters lives are in your hand inspector." Papanoida said.
"You have nothing to worry about, your honor. We have complete control of the situation." Divo said leaving as the three entered.
"That guy reeks of corruption." Turok said.
"I agree. Something about him bugs me." Ion said before Papanoida grabbed some shrine item.
"A shrine of the mood goddess. This should be with the others." Papanoida said.
"The hell was it doing down there then?" Turok asked.
"A good question." Papanoida said before looking at the bottom. "Well, theres blood on it. They must have used this to fend off their attackers." Papanoida said.
"Thorough investigation my ass. That guy has to be on the Trade Federation payroll." Turok said.
"Perhaps. If this is the blood the attacker we may be able to find out who it belongs to." Papanoida said pulling out a device before scanning it before it beeped. "Got a match." Papanoida said before the image of a Rodian appeared. "A Rodian named Greedo. Formally an employee of Jabba the Hutt now serves Japan's emperor Yoshihito Ishiyama." Papanoida said.
"Yumi's grandfather?" Turok asked.
"Why would the Emperor of Japan hire bounty hunters and Mercenaries?" Ion asked.
"After the fall of the Hutts their usual income was gone and needed new work. Add to the fact 95% of Earth's military in fighting in this war most country leaders wanted some extra protection." Turok said.
"It makes sense. I say we inform the Emperor of this development since his file claims him to be an honorable man." Papanoida said.
Meanwhile
A space bride opened up on a Trade Federation capital ship before Chuchi and Ahsoka walked out with the former in a hood to keep her cover. Just then two Representatives appeared.
"Senator Chuchi. To what do we owe this pleasure?"
"I bring word from the Chairman of Pantora." Chuchi said.
"The Chairman has finally decided to agree to our terms?"
"Not exactly. The Chairman wanted to inform you of an impending alliance between Pantora and the Confederacy of independent systems." Chuchi said.
"The Chairman is planning to join the Separatist alliance?"
"If that were the case, would you remove your blockade of Pantora?" Chuchi asked.
"If that were the case, the chairman would have to go to the senate and renounce the Republic. Then we could discuss how quickly we can resume commerce."
"Very well. I shall contact the Chairman. We can discuss the finer details of the terms later this evening." Chuchi said.
"Agreed. Now you and your servant may stay as our honored guests."
They walked away to their rooms.
"I feel insulted being called a servant." Ahsoka said making her grin.
"I don't know. You would look nicely in the outfit." Chuchi said.
"HA HA HA." Ahsoka said.
Meanwhile
Papanoida, Turok and Ion sat down on a landing platform outside the Emperor's palace.
"How exactly do we get in?" Ion asked.
"Like this." Turok said going to the guard before pulling out a badge before he opened the door and let them in.
"I almost forgot your brother and the Emperor have a good history." Papanoida said before they went to the throne room seeing Yoshihito speaking with his advisors in Japanese before they also spotted Greedo. Yoshihito started speaking in Japanese before a platinum Protocol droid stepped up.
"The Emperor welcomes you into his home but asks why you are here." The Droid said.
"Mighty Yoshihito, My daughters have been kidnapped. As a both a father and Grandfather I know you understand that I will do anything to get them back safely." Papanoida said making him nod understanding that all too well. "We have evidence that Greedo is responsible, Which means that either you are behind it or Greedo is working for someone else. Since Sean says you are an honorable man I know you couldn't do this." Papanoida said making him glare at Greedo.
"No! He's lying!" Greedo said before his personal guards surrounded him.
"What evidence do you have Chairman?" Yoshihito asked in English.
"We found blood at the Crime Scene. If it matches Greedo's, it will prove he is the Kidnapper." Papanoida said before Yoshihito started speaking in Japanese again.
"Emperor Yoshihito, will allow a blood sample." The Protocol droid said before Turok grabbed him and pulled out a knife.
"OK! OK! I helped Kidnap them. The Trade Federation wanted leverage against you to meet their demands." Greedo said.
"The Trade Federation? I thought the Separatists were responsible." Turok said.
"They both are. They've always been in league with one another." Greedo said.
"This is all the proof we need to shut them down." Turok said before Papanoida grabbed Greedo.
"Where are they you slime!" Papanoida asked.
"One of them is still on Coruscant since Earth was too risky with all the security and enhanced. She's safe I assure you." Greedo said.
"Take us there!" Papanoida said.
After using a Space bridge to arrive back on Coruscant they arrived outside a Bar.
"Ok fuck head. You're gonna go in and get her." Turok said.
"You think they will just hand her over to you?" Greedo asked.
"No, but I'll bet they'll hand her over to you." Ion said as they entered the bar seeing various species before Greedo grabbed a drink.
"Go get the Prisoner." Greedo said to one of them before he left and another stepped forward.
"Greedo? What are you doing here?"
"Theres been a change of plans. We're gonna have to move the Prisoner." Greedo said.
"Oh whose orders?"
Greedo looked nervous before Turok had a knife at his side.
"Gunray. He contacted me from the Emperor's palace in Japan." Greedo said.
"Why'd he contact you? And who are these three?"
Everyone started to get tense while the Bar owner went in the back knowing what was about to happen.
"They're emissaries of the Trade Federation." Greedo said.
"They don't look like Trade Federation."
Suddenly Che Amanwe was brought out before she saw them.
"Father!" Amanwe said.
"Father?"
"Their Pantorans and a Kruger! Blast them!" Greedo yelled before Turok knocked him out before turning into a lion and pounced on one of the thugs while Ion and his father started blasting them.
The one Turok was on screamed in terror before his throat was slashed making him gasp as he choked on his blood before Turok turned human.
"I see your brother is not the only one with special abilities." Papanoida said not seeing one behind him but he got blasted by Amanwe.
"Lets get the hell out of here." Turok said dragging Greedo with them.
Meanwhile
Ahsoka and Chuchi still on the Capital ship hid in a meeting room before the two from before stepped in.
"I understand the profit your Margins with the Separatists can be considerable. However, I object to the kidnapping."
"The Chairman's children are leverage. Besides, they're well taken care of."
"Yes, but why on my ship?"
This caused Chuchi to gasp.
"What was that? I'm sure I heard something."
He looked under the table but saw nothing.
Chuchi was behind a wall as he was walked in the direction and looked but saw nothing.
Chuchi looked and saw Ahsoka using the force to keep her up.
"All of this scheming with the Separatists is making you Paranoid."
"Do not worry, the daughters are not to be harmed, At least for now." As they both left.
Ahsoka sighed as she let Chuchi down before dropping down.
"Well...That proves they blew their last chance. When Sean and the Senate hears this the Trade Federation will be permanently dissolved." Ahsoka said.
"Lets find which one is here and use the Space bridge to escape." Chuchi said as they left before using the air ducts to get into the detention area.
Arriving at their destination Ahsoka used the force to open the door before two droids were seen holding Eekway before she destroyed them.
"Senator Chuchi? How did you find me?" Eekway asked.
"It's a long story. Wheres your Sister?" Chuchi asked.
"I don't know. We were separated." Eekway said.
"I don't think they would risk keeping them both on this ship. Too risky." Ahsoka said before activating a space bridge before they escaped.
Later
"Without question it is clear the Trade Federation is without a doubt fully aligned with the Separatist alliance and has broken their trade franchise agreement. Therefore we have no choice now but to permanently dissolve them immediately." Palpatine said.
"But who will supply us with food and supplies?" A senator asked.
"I have a friend who's people will take their place. He should be here right now." Sean said as everyone left before Sean and Palpatine went to the Laters office before seeing a man with white skin brown hair and brown eyes.
"It's been a long time Sean."
"Long time indeed...Jor-el." Sean said (Jor-El from Man of Steel. I love the animated version and all but this one did Kick Zod's ass in that movie you know?)
"Ah so this is the friend you mentioned." Palpatine said.
"Allow me to introduce Jor-El from the planet Krypton. Originally his world was dying but I managed to help stabilize their core from certain destruction. The immediate threat was contained." Sean said.
"And my people are highly advanced. We can help supply the galaxy with what it needs for the people." Jor-El said.
"And they also have a powerful military. You recall the Triplets?" Sean asked.
"Of course. They have remarkable abilities." Palpatine said.
"Well, Krypton's people have the same abilities when exposed to a yellow sun. It's part of their biology. Whenever their exposed to yellow sun they gain those abilities by absorbing yellow sun radiation." Sean said.
"Really? Fascinating. I can only hope they can help us end this war even sooner." Palpatine said as they making him grin.
"Another of your allies is here as well. I think they're at the labs." Jor-El said making him grin.
"Knowing them they'll jump at the chance to fight." Sean said.
Entering the labs Sean saw someone talking to Mace and Kota. However his appearance resembled what was known as a Triceratops back on Earth.
"It's been a long time Traximus." Sean said making him face him with a grin.
"Long time indeed old friend." Traximus said. (Traximus from TMNT 2003)
"When you said your allies are unique in many ways you really meant it." Mace said.
"Since when do I ever Exaggerate?" Sean asked.
"True. So what are they?" Kota asked seeing hundreds of others like him.
"Triceratons. Similar appearance to one of Earth's ancient species. Like many worlds I had to help them out. Their Prime Minster was absolute madman who wanted to conquer the galaxy. The rest were against this but felt obeying orders was absolute till I arrived. Eliminated the Prime Minster and now a Military council is in charge." Sean said.
"While we do enjoy the peace we are a warrior like race. We will gladly join the Republic against the Separatists." Traximus said.
"Oh that reminds me I have something to show the Council as well as Members of the Senate. One of my projects has finally entered the final phase." Sean said.
"Another weapons project?" Mace asked.
"Actually no. This has nothing to do with the war or weapons in general. It's a more...Personal project. I think you'll all greatly enjoy this." Sean said grinning.
Later
A space bridge opened up on some landing platform before Palpatine and members of the Senate and Jedi council came out along with several other people.
"I'm rather curious about this project you're so proud about." Palpatine said before a speeder appeared big enough for everyone.
"I assure you this one will be one for the history books." Sean said as they traveled to a destination.
"Ok kid spill it. What did you do this time?" Garrett asked making him grin.
"Hey I can surprise anyone with almost anything. This on the other hand...Lets just say I may have opened up a whole new book on what I've done." Sean said before they suddenly stopped.
"Hey what gives?" Daisy asked.
Coulson looked around before his eyes landed on something and widened them.
"I don't see whats so special about this place." Irons said.
"Oh but I do." Coulson said making everyone look before widening their eyes.
"You gotta be kidding me." Daisy said.
Literally right in front of them was a living breathing Dinosaur walking to a tree to eat.
"Oh...My...God." Mack said making Sean laugh.
"Allow me to introduce or rather reintroduce the Brachiosaurus." Sean said before Fitz-Simons got off and approached it.
"It's...It's a Dinosaur." Fitz said.
"Uh-Huh." Simmons said in awe making Sean laugh as he approached them.
"He actually did it." Irons said.
"Oh this is gonna tear up the book on cold-bloodedness. It doesn't apply. They're totally wrong. This is a warm-blooded creature." Fitz said.
"This thing doesn't live in a swamp." Simmons said.
"It has a what? 25, 27 foot neck?" Fitz asked.
"Actually 30." Sean said.
"30?" Fitz asked laughing before it bellowed before standing on two feet to reach the top to eat before landing back on all fours.
"My word." Palpatine said amazed.
"How fast are they?" Fitz asked.
"Well, we clocked the T-rex at 32 miles per hour." Sean said shocking them.
"You have a T-Rex?" Simmons asked.
"Well, duh." Sean said before Fitz placed his hands on his shoulder.
"Say again?" Fitz asked making him laugh.
"We have a T-Rex." Sean said making him weak in the knees.
"Easy Fitz. Your gonna faint or something." Mack said.
"Oh guys. Welcome to Pangea." Sean said before more bellowing was heard making them look before seeing a whole herd of Dinosaurs of various species.
"They're moving in herds. They really do move in herds." Fitz said.
Sean laughed at their expressions.
"How did you do this?" Ward asked.
"I'll show you." Sean said.
Soon enough they arrived at a lab that was protected by Ray Shields.
"You recall when I asked for the Prime Minister of Kamino to send some of his scientists? Now you know why." Sean said.
"Oh so thats why." Ahsoka said. "I thought it was to help Shockwave's Predacons." Ahsoka said.
"Their talent is DNA not CNA. Completely different. Since then They've made big leaps in research. And now almost all DNA from the age of the Dinosaurs is here. There are still a few gaps in certain species but we'll get there eventually. I'm not just talking about the Dinosaurs but the species that predate them as well. Pangea will hold every ancient species from Earth one day. And along with several ancient species during Mankind's own evolution when we were nothing but primates." Sean said.
"You mean like Sabertooth's and Mammoths." Garrett said.
"Of course. This way we can learn and rewrite everything we think we know. And maybe down the road do the same with other planets that have ancient species that we can bring back." Sean said.
"I must admit this is very interesting and a very proud accomplishment." Palpatine said impressed.
"What if the Separatists attack though?" Anakin asked.
"They can't. Pangea is a neutral system. Attacking it would backfire against Dooku since even his senate would never condone attacking creatures that just came back to existence." Sean said.
"But it is operated by the Republic." Mace said.
"Actually it's not. It's maintained by one of my allies in the unknown region. Which is where Pangea is anyway. He allowed me to use this system for my own projects like this. He fully supported the idea." Sean said.
"We would very much like to meet this man." Palpatine said.
"Maybe eventually but for now the system is protected as long as they remain neutral." Sean said.
