"Shadow Bear Tibbers' Journey to the Plane ()" Find the latest chapter!

Anakin, Padmé, and Obi-Wan, who were once again 'lucky' not to die on the planet Geonosis, when they came from Geonosis who was being attacked by an unknown and terrible alien race After escaping from Star Star, he neither chose to immediately return to Naboo who didn't know what he was like, nor did he care about those who didn't know whether they were dead or alive, and where they were imprisoned before and Padmé. As well as Obi-Wan's fellow councilors and Jedi guards, they sneaked away ahead of time regardless of their own safety.

Because, when they saw that the spaceships of the Trade Federation and the warships of the Separatist Alliance in the universe were defeated by those weird alien biological warships and biological warplanes of unknown origin and were fleeing, they were afraid of being affected, so they also He made a decisive decision and fled that galaxy far away.

Immediately afterwards, after an urgent discussion on the spaceship, the three of them directly located and returned to Coruscant, the capital of the Galactic Republic, and before a certain Speaker Palpatine, who was probably the Dark Lord, received the news, , using the spaceship that Anakin obtained to escort Padmé before without any registration information, he quietly landed on this planet glowing with silver light in the sun and sneaked to the Jedi Temple immediately, telling He told the elders of the Jedi Council what happened to them on Geonosis and everything they know so far.

'! ! '

'Shocking and terrible news...'

‘It’s unbelievable that the situation has gotten so bad! '

In the high tower committee hall on the west side of the Jedi Temple, Mace Windu, Master Yoda, and several other elders were already here, and they secretly returned to explain and make peace with Anakin and Obi-Wan. Shocked by the shocking news.

Originally, they only knew that the news from the peace mission and Obi-Wan had been interrupted for a few days, and they thought it was because of a solar storm in the galaxy where the Geonosis star was located, which caused communication setbacks, so they didn't pay much attention. But who would have thought that the truth of the matter would be so explosive?

'Anakin! Obi-Wan! '

‘Let me ask you again: Can you guarantee that everything you said is true and there is no deception? Supreme Chancellor Palpatine... is he really the Sith Lord, is that Darth Sidious? ! '

‘This is a very serious allegation and the stakes are high! ! '

Therefore, after the shock at the beginning, the leader, Master Mace Windu, hurriedly asked carefully for the first time and tried to confirm again.

"Yes!"

"These things were told to us by Count Dooku and our teacher himself!"

"Earl Dooku is a disciple of the Sith Lord, and his Sith name is 'Darth Tyranus'? And elders, our teacher Qui-Gon Jinn seems to have joined the camp of the Separatist Alliance... "

"And the Geonosians had already sentenced us to death at that time, if those unknown races hadn't suddenly fought with the Geonosians and raided the Geonosians, I'm afraid the three of us would have died long ago! "

Obi-Wan glanced at Anakin who didn't know what he was thinking, and seemed to be a little distracted. After seeing that the other party seemed not ready to speak, he had no choice but to answer Master Mace Windu in affirmation. The problem.

"Master Qui-Gon Jinn?"

"No... Obi-Wan, I know Master Qui-Gon Jinn. Although he has always been somewhat dissatisfied with the corruption of the Republic and certain practices of the Jedi Council, and even refused to become an elder for certain things, I believe , he is not that kind of person..."

"Perhaps, he must have some purpose, or some other idea..."

What Anakin and Obi-Wan did not expect was that at this time, Master Yoda actually excused their teacher first?

"Leaving aside the matter of Qui-Gon Jinn and the race in that position,

Because that's not the most important thing! "

"Because, if what Anakin and Obi-Wan just said is true, I think, I can understand why Master Qui-Gon Jinn didn't pass the news back to the Jedi Temple in time, because...with the current The extent to which the Temple has been infiltrated by the Second Republic Army and Speaker Palpatine, once he does that, will definitely be known to Palpatine, and by then, the Jedi Order and the Temple will be in danger!"

"It's just that I don't understand. Since he may have known about it long ago, why didn't he go back to the temple to inform us earlier, or use our private dedicated encrypted channel?"

Master Mace Windu also couldn't figure out why, so he could only ask Master Yoda and other masters beside him suspiciously.

'Maybe he couldn't get away, or was he being watched too? '

'Well……'

'It is possible! '

'However, our private encrypted channel may not be safe anymore...'

' On this point, I completely agree! '

‘But maybe Master Qui-Gon Jinn has other ideas? I'm afraid everyone already knows that Master Qui-Gon Jinn has always acted differently. Sometimes, he always has some lawless...amazing insights? '

‘What Master Shak Ti said makes sense...’

'...'

'But anyway, fortunately now, we already know a few very important things, that is: Chancellor Palpatine may have a big problem, the Second Republic Army has become untrustworthy...the Separatist Alliance also It's very suspicious, they are probably just puppet enemies deliberately created by the Sith Lord to deceive people and make it easier for him to grab more power? '

'! ! '

‘If that’s the case, then our galaxy and the Republic are really in danger! '

'That's right! '

‘Not only the Republic is in danger, but our Jedi Temple is the same! '

'besides! Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know if you have discovered it, but the more frightening fact is that our Jedi Council is now isolated and helpless, and it is very likely that Palpatine, the Sith Lord, has learned of what happened on Geonosis , once the news of Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Padmé appearing in Coruscant is leaked, I think he will probably attack our warrior group in advance! '

‘It is indeed possible, but what should we do now, should we raid the Galactic Council and directly take down the Supreme Speaker? '

'good idea! You can't be soft when dealing with Sith! ! '

‘That is indeed a solution, but before that, shouldn’t we contact some congressmen to let them know the true face of the Supreme Speaker and secretly support us? Otherwise, even if our Jedi Order succeeds, we will be slandered as a group of traitors. '

‘But which MPs do we want to contact? We can't guarantee that the MPs we contact must be trustworthy. There are very few such people. If one of them is a Sith Lord, we will also expose it in advance! '

'Then what do you say? '

'well……'

"I really didn't expect that the situation in the Republic has become so bad. We have fallen into a huge conspiracy. At this time, almost all the people inside and outside the Republic are Palpatine, and the voices against him have become more and more serious." At least, he has been brewing for at least ten years, but we know nothing about it from the beginning to the end, and even helped him many times...'

‘It’s useless to say these things now, let’s think of other ways! '

‘Master Yoda, what do you think? '

The elders present discussed for a while, and found that there seemed to be no safe solution, so they had no choice but to look at Master Yoda, who had been sitting in his seat, thinking and not speaking, to see if the other party had any plans. What is an effective solution to solve the problems they are facing now.

'I don't know either……'

'What you just said, the suggestion to eradicate Palpatine is undoubtedly correct...but the question is, what happens after he is eradicated? What about the Second Republic Army and the Separatist Alliance that are like time bombs? '

'Is there anything we can do against them? '

When Master Yoda thought of the recent wars between the 'Second Republic Army' and the Separatist Alliance, the Trade Alliance, etc., they were actually nothing more than Speaker Palpatine's personal performance show with his left hand fighting his right hand, Think again, so far, the supreme speaker Palpatine has seized enough political and military power in the name of maintaining the safety of the galaxy and the republic, and now he is like a dictator. Some of the senators are from the other party, or people who agree with the other party's political views, so he feels a little worried.

Although the elders of their Jedi Temple know almost everything now, but thinking about it carefully, it seems to be a little too late to know now, so that he just thought about it and couldn't think of a plan that would prevent the Galactic Republic from producing anything. A way to eradicate the opponent in a turbulent or destructive situation?

Although, the matter is already obvious now, taking advantage of the Supreme Speaker Palpata's ignorance and not realizing that their Jedi Council knew everything, they suddenly launched an attack and sent several powerful masters to launch a surprise attack on it, The opponent will definitely die!

But the problem now is: the mess after the death of the other party, such as the possible chaos and destruction caused by the increasingly large "Second Republic Army" in the Republic, and the possible attack by the Separatist Alliance distributed outside the Republic Wait, that's their biggest headache right now!

'Well……'

‘Then you really should think about it carefully. Now the Sith Lord is already in a big situation. If one is not handled properly, it will be a huge disaster for the Republic...’

'It's not killing, it's not killing if you don't kill, what should I do? '

‘Master Yoda, and Master Mace Windu, what do you think? In this situation, what should we do? '

'Well……'

'In any case, since we are still taking the initiative, the first thing to do is to strictly seal the news that Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Padmé have returned to the Jedi Temple. Before we make a decision, They must not be exposed in front of people! '

‘This can at least buy us a few days or more? '

'This matter is simple. Fortunately, Anakin's spaceship was not registered. Before he appeared in front of us, we didn't even know that they had returned. Presumably, the Speaker Palpatine must have I will not know! '

'This is not necessarily the case, the dark side of the Force, many abilities are beyond our comprehension...'

'Indeed it is! '

'! ! '

‘Master Yoda, why don’t we organize our forces to raid Palpatine’s office directly and try to capture him directly? '

'good idea! '

‘Master Yoda? '

'No! '

‘Either do it or don’t do it, don’t have the idea of ​​​​trying it out, it’s dangerous, especially now that the situation is extremely unfavorable to us! '

'this……'

In this way, a group of Jedi masters communicated with each other in front of Anakin and Obi-Wan, but nothing happened without Anakin or Obi-Wan. No one asks what they think.

"..."

At this time, when he noticed that Obi-Wan was looking at him, it seemed that he wanted to ask him, but what else could Anakin do besides give him a helpless look?

but……

Anakin will not tell the elders in front of him that the issues they are discussing now are not problems! Because no one of them cares about it now, and the issue of the strange unknown race that attacked Geonosis is the biggest issue!

He also would not tell them that at this time, there are many, many creatures of that kind in the lowest layer of Coruscant, on Naboo, and on Tatooine... If they are fully fired, maybe they can really turn the Galactic Republic upside down?

That's right, Anakin is very confident about this!

Through the two battles on Naboo and Geonosis, he has become more and more familiar with the fighting power of the swarms. These Jedi elders are still thinking of ways to fight against the Sith Lord and the Separatist Alliance. At that time, he was already thinking about how to catch the cicada and the oriole, thinking about how to completely solve the Sith Lord, the Separatist Alliance, the Jedi Council, and the Galactic Republic in one pot.

It's a pity, of course, it's impossible for him to let anyone know about his crazy thoughts! After all, he is still an upright Jedi Knight now, a young Jedi Knight who obeys the Jedi Council and has just made great achievements and is trusted and valued by the elders?

"Well……"

"Anakin and Obi-Wan...you two have done a great job, the Presbyterian Council and the Republic will remember your contributions! Now, you can go down and rest first, remember to take that secret passage, don't let anyone see To your existence!"

"The elders may still discuss for a period of time to come up with a foolproof plan. Someone will be sent to inform you later. Go out."

Finally, after seeing that they hadn't come up with a perfect plan after arguing for a long time, Master Yoda asked Anakin and Obi-Wan, who had been a little absent-minded, to go down and rest first. I must report to the elders as soon as I got back. I must be very tired now.

"yes!"

"Masters, let's go out first..."

Anakin, who was already a little impatient, saluted with Obi-Wan, and then retreated out with his hood on, letting the group of Jedi elders who couldn't pay attention for a long time continue with the one that made them angry and angry just now. Helpless problem and urgent discussion.

"that……"

"Obi-Wan, I suddenly have a half-baked idea, can you listen to it?"

While taking a secret elevator inside to move towards a certain room, Anakin suddenly asked Obi-Wan.

"What?"

Obi-Wan was a little dazed, he didn't know what the other party wanted to say, and he didn't know why the other party didn't say it in front of the elders just now.

"Is such that."

"You said, if people really reorganize this chaotic republic, will it be better than it is now?"

Hesitating, Anakin still spit out the words he had held in his heart for a long time.

"!!"

"Anakin, why do you have such dangerous thoughts? Do you think that ambitious people like the Sith Lord Palpatine or Earl Dooku can manage this country well?"

"Are you crazy?!"

Obi-Wan exclaimed in fright, and began to stare at Anakin, who seemed a little afraid to look at him, with extremely stern eyes.

"no!"

"Obi-Wan, it's not what you think!"

"I just think……"

"If someone is changed, he is neither a member of the Separatist Alliance nor a Sith Lord, but a Jedi Knight like us, or simply a Jedi Knight Order like us to manage and reorganize this country, how can it be possible? Better?"

After reassuring the other party for a while, Anakin continued to ask ambiguously and tentatively.

"Anakin..."

"You have to remember that the mission of our Jedi Knights is to defend and maintain the stability of the Galactic Republic and the Milky Way!"

"The Jedi are a noble group. The force we believe in and respect is for protection rather than control! The birth of the Jedi can even be traced back to a more civilized and classical era in the history of the galaxy... Our Jedi Order is very old, For more than a thousand generations, we have served the Galactic Republic as guardians of peace and justice throughout the centuries of prosperity and development of the Galactic Republic!"

"You have to remember that what you just thought is very dangerous. The Jedi Knights belong to the Ministry of Justice of the Galactic Republic. They are responsible for peacekeeping and do not participate in political decision-making. This is an ancient tradition!"

"We will not, and will never be able to control or reorganize this country. We are Jedi Knights, not those politicians. Those things should not be taken care of by us, and there will be trouble!!"

Obi-Wan snapped at Anakin, who was now a little taller than himself, viciously, just as he had often done when he was teaching each other for ten years. After all, compared to their irresponsible teacher Qui-Gon King who went to the Separatist Alliance and didn't know what he wanted to do, he, Obi-Wan, was obviously more like Anakin's mentor?

"!!"

"But Obi-Wan, some of the current traditions are obviously not suitable for this era!"

Anakin is still fighting with reason. For him who has grown wings and has gradually hardened, and still has some confidence, some words of Obi-Wan are definitely not so easy for him to accept. He is no longer the little apprentice who responded to whatever the other party said.

"Anakin..."

"You have to figure it out, Dark Lord Palpatine and that Earl Dooku, they probably think the same way as you!"

"Your thoughts are dangerous and crazy, do you understand?!"

Obi-Wan almost roared, and stretched out his fingers, gritted his teeth, and pointed Anakin's chest vigorously, angrily yelling, until he forced the awkward Anakin against the metal wall of the levitating elevator, and then backed away with a cold grunt. took a step.

"..."

"I was just talking casually..."

Well, now Anakin finally gave up. He actually knew it a long time ago. His kind of thinking and what he is going to do will definitely not get the support of Obi-Wan or other Jedi masters. ! So, at this moment, he didn't know what to say.

Perhaps, instead, it was the irresponsible teacher Qui-Gon King who didn't know why he ran to hang out with the Separatist Alliance to understand him a little bit? Of course, that was just a possibility, and Anakin wasn't too sure.

Ding dong~!

"okay!"

"You go to accompany Padme first, she may be a little scared these days, you stay here well, don't go anywhere without the elder's order, I will keep an eye on you!"

When the small enclosed suspended elevator the two of them were riding in stopped, they arrived at a secret enclosed suite aisle on a certain floor of the Jedi Temple, and after opening the elevator door, Obi-Wan exhorted and warned Anakin as he walked out. and signaled that Anakin could go to accompany Padmé.

Because, for the time being, he doesn't want to report the personal relationship between the two to the elders at this juncture, and he doesn't want to take care of it anymore.

"Anakin..."

"I know I can't stop you, but..."

"Forget it, let's do this for today, I'm tired too, you guys should go to bed earlier!"

Obi-Wan, who was hesitant to speak, didn't say anything in the end, turned around and waved at Anakin, then walked to the door of his own room, and walked straight in after the automatic door opened.

"..."

"You're right, Obi-Wan, I'm actually the same kind of person as they are..."

"but……"

"I'm different from them, I'm stronger than them!"

After laughing at himself as if talking to himself and watching Obi-Wan walk into the room, Anakin snorted coldly, gradually relaxed and adjusted his expression before turning towards Padmé. to that room.

As for his room, he doesn't intend to live in it these few days, so he can only leave it empty for the time being... Anyway, even Obi-Wan doesn't care about his and Padmé's affairs now, so What else is he hiding?

Besides, in the next few days, I'm afraid there will be a lot of things, and the elders must be in a state of distress. It must be that no one is too idle to care about his and Padmé's affairs, so why should he be polite to them? ? !

"!!"

"Anakin!!"

Soon, when Anakin walked to the door of Padmé's room and knocked on the automatic door, a figure who seemed to have taken a bath, with a trace of damp hair, and wearing a close-fitting nightgown rushed straight to her. Arriving in Anakin's arms, let him hug him and impatiently walked into the room that automatically closed the door.

'! ! '

'That bastard! ! '

At this time, in the room on the other side of the corridor, Obi-Wan had just laid down on his bed and before he had time to rest for a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes. Then, as if he had sensed something from the Force, he could not help but feel something in his throat. After shaking for a while, he cursed viciously and inexplicably.

After a long time, he closed his eyes again, and turned towards the inside of the bed, facing away from the room that was actually not adjacent to him...
