Between Darkness and Light

A Jedi, unless absolutely necessary, would not kill, especially not an unarmed person.

But now, the dozens of corpses that fell in front of Shen-Jon were basically civilians, and they had no weapons in their hands.

Shen-Jon killed them all without hesitation.

He didn't betray the Republic or the Jedi Order, but he embraced the Darkness and fell into the Dark Side of The Force. In the eyes of the Jedi Order, this is betrayal.

The Lightsaber in his hand was trembling, and the Pure Kyber Crystal was resisting The Force of the Dark Side. Shen-Jon clenched the Hilt of the Lightsaber fiercely, and the more Powerful Force of the Dark Side was injected into the Lightsaber, and the Kyber Crystal faintly let out a mournful cry...

Echo came over and said: "General, we have already cleared this Experimental Base. They should have destroyed all the Experimental Data and left nothing behind. Now we have planted a Bomb in this Base. After detonation, the Decimator Project, there will be nothing left."

Shen-Jon nodded, and then asked, "Is there any news about Sev'rance Tann?"

"No, General. The person in charge of the experiments here should be a Separatist General named Cheng Shitao, but we didn't find any trace of him. We only know that he came from Dawn." Echo said.

Shen-Jon nodded, "Okay then, let's leave here and continue hunting down Sev'rance Tann."

"Yes!"

Shen Jon walked out of the collapsed Control Center, looked back at the corpses all over the ground, and said coldly: "At least, we have completed one of the tasks."

Several Speeder Bikes approached, and after they stopped in front of Shen-Jon, his Padawan Naat Reath jumped off, followed by the Hunter Tactical Team, Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair and Tech.

"Master, we captured all the Technicians who escaped, and killed them all without asking anything." Naat Reath said lightly.

After this period of hunting and fighting, with the hatred of her Brother being killed, Naat Reath has also fallen into the Dark Side. Although she was only about 16 years old, her face was already full of killing intent.

"General, I actually think they could have been captured, after all, they had already surrendered," Tech said.

Shen-Jon looked up at him, and said coldly: "Remember one sentence - Good Soldiers Follow Orders."

"Yes!" Crosshair immediately gave a Military Salute.

"Let's go before the Separatist reinforcements arrive." Shen-Jon lifted the hood and put it on again, covering the upper half of his face, and then jumped directly on another Speeder Bike, heading towards the direction of the Shuttle in the distance driving at high speed.

Taking the Shuttle back to the Venator-class Star Destroyer, the Battleship increased the output of its Thrusters, broke free from the Planet's Gravity Well, started the Hyperdrive and disappeared instantly.

A full two hours after they left, several Hiigaran-class Battlecruisers arrived here, but what awaited them was the Experimental Base that had already been turned into ruins.

"General, where is our next target?" On the Bridge of the Venator-class Star Destroyer, Echo came to Shen-Jon and asked after saluting.

"The Supplies we got on Krant are enough for some time. Let's find a place to hide first, and then we will go to the Moon of the Smugglers Nar Shaddaa to find some information." Shen-Jon said.

"Then, what about the remaining captive?" Echo asked again.

"Bring her here," Shen-Jon said.

A few minutes later, the Clone Troopers dragged a Neimoidian over, and it turned out to be Plure Barron, who had been arguing with General Cheng Shitao on Aereen before.

When she saw Shen-Jon, she begged loudly, "My Lord, my Lord, please spare me! I've told you everything I know, and I didn't lie, right? Krant was indeed the Experimental Base of the Decimator Project! Please! Don't kill me, the Trade Federation will pay a high ransom. Really! Really!"

Shen-Jon looked at her with garbage eyes, and asked coldly, "Where is Sev'rance Tann?"

"I... I don't know... She, she belongs to Dawn in the Western Theater, how do I know her whereabouts..." Plure Barron said tremblingly.

"So, where is Cheng Shitao?" Shen-Jon asked again.

"I...he was on Aereen before, that coward ran earlier than me! He didn't tell me when he left! Didn't his convoy be defeated by you later? He must be dead! Yes! For sure Dead!" As soon as Cheng Shitao was mentioned, Plure Barron's face became grim.

Now she wished Cheng Shitao would die so that her Embezzlement of Experimental Funds and Equipment would not be exposed.

Shen-Jon said coldly: "This girl is somewhat valuable, find the nearest Republic Outpost, hand her over to the Republic for trial, and leave the other captives behind."

"Why not kill her, Master?" asked Naat Reath.

Shen-Jon looked at the endless universe outside the porthole, and said, "It should be, to give my Master, Master Windu, an explanation."

"We can't go back, can we?" Nat Reese asked again.

"When we kill Sev'rance Tann, our Mission will be over." After Shen Jon finished speaking, he turned and left the bridge.

...

The Outer Rim of the Galaxy, Dagobah.

Darth Malthael stood in front of a cave, just looking at the cave silently, without saying a word.

From the cave, an Incomparably Dark Power emanated, almost like a Black Hole, so Dark that even Light could not penetrate it.

But Darth Malthael didn't do anything, just stood here, watching.

"I didn't expect that we would meet in this way. Tang Xiao, or, I should call you...Darth Malthael..." A voice came from behind him.

A Force Ghost floated behind him, and it gradually became clear. It was an old man wearing a Jedi Knight's Brown Robe, with Gray Beard and Hair, and a Majestic but Kind Face...

Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn.

"This Planet is the Planet with the Purest Force in the entire Galaxy, and you can see a lot of things through it." Darth Malthael said lightly, "So, have you seen the future of the Galaxy? "

"I saw it, but I didn't see it." Qui-Gon Jinn shook his head, "I saw your determination to reverse all this, but unfortunately, you took the wrong path. Even if you win this war, your existence will only make this Galaxy Darker."
