With Sean, Lyco and Leeta 3:29 PM.

Sean was currently being dragged to the Village Elder's hut by the twins. He felt awkward that he was dragged by two girls who were only half as tall as himself. The Jedi's thoughts were interrupted by Leeta's voice.

"So what's it like to fight a war in outer space?" Leeta asked with curiosity.

Sean turned to the twins who had curious looks on their faces. "Well the Clone Wars never made it to Mobius, but the war was hard, intense and there was never a dull moment." He explained, as he looked at the twins with curiosity. "And you?"

Lyco and Leeta looked at each other in wonder, until Lyco cleared her throat. "Before we left the Wolf Pack, our lives here were pretty dull and boring." She explained.

"Why did you leave your people?" Sean asked. "Aren't you happy here?"

Lyco looked at Sean with a puzzled expression. "Of course We love it here!" She exclaimed in surprise. "It's our home and Lupe took us in when we had no place to go!"

Sean looked up and remembered the kindness Lupe showed towards him. "I owe my life to Her." He said. "Haven't it been for her, i wouldn't be alive today."

Leeta looked at Sean with a smirk. "She is like a mother to everyone here ya' know." She told the Jedi. "And besides, she is not the only one who got you out of that ship!"

Sean nodded. "Right, right!" He remembered. "You two were with her as well as Diablo and... Lobo?"

Lyco shook her head. "No Sean, Lobo was not with us." She said.

"He stayed behind to watch Marcos and Maria." Leeta cut in.

"They're pretty nice once you get to know them." Lyco said with a smile.

Sean only nodded as an answer. While they were walking or being dragged if you ask Sean, Leeta curiously looked at Sean's lightsaber.

"Sean?" Leeta asked. Sean turned to the Wolf in green.

"Yes?" The Jedi responded.

"I have been curious about your green laser-sword." Leeta explained.

The twins let go of Sean to allow him to pull out his lightsaber.

Sean showed them the lightsaber. "You mean this?" He asked.

Leeta tried to grab hold of the hilt and take it, but Sean had his hand gripped firmly around it. "Don't think I'm letting you hold it that easily." Sean told the female Wolf. Lyco on the other hand, pushed a button on her hairband, allowing her to record the conversation... Or is she really?

Lyco crossed her arms and looked at Sean in a non amused manner. "Can you at least tell us what it is and how you got it?" She asked.

Sean then ignited the lightsaber, with the green blade sticking out of the curved hilt. The light drew the attention of many Wolves, including Diablo, Canus and even Reynard who only looked at Sean in suspicion.

The Blond-haired Jedi swung the lightsaber to the left, then right, then down before he held it loosely in the palm of his right hand. "This is a lightsaber, the first choice weapon of a Jedi knight." He told the twins as he twirled it between his fingers before turned it off.

Leeta now looked at Sean with amazement. "That's so cool!" She squealed.

"Now to answer my other question." Lyco told the Jedi. Sean turned his attention to the Wolf in blue. "Where and when did you get it?" She then asked.

Sean opened a hatch on the hilt which allowed him access to the kyper crystal within. "Every youngling in the Jedi Order goes through a ceremony called the Gathering." He explained as he closed the the hatch.

"The Gathering?" Leeta asked.

Sean nodded. "Yes. Every time the Gathering is being held, it takes place in the crystal caves on the Ilum System."

"The Ilum System?" Lyco asked in confusion.

"I'll explain later." Sean assured as he put his lightsaber back to his belt.

"Why not now?" Leeta asked.

"Probably because he is making everything up!" The snidely voice from Reynard said as he approached Sean, with a glare on the orange Wolf's face.

Sean had a cheeky smile on his face as Reynard approach him. "Hey! That's my good friend Reynard!" He said, which made Reynard's left eye twitch.

"I'm. Not. Your. Friend!" Reynard hissed as he shoved the Jedi away from him.

Sean recovered from the push and approached the fuming Wolf. "Damn what's the matter with you?!" The Jedi asked desperately. "I've never done anything to you!"

"The fact that you are here is enough." Reynard snarled at the Jedi.

A smirk formed on Sean's face. "Then why did you come up to me?" He asked in a cheeky tone.

Reynard poked a finger on Sean's chest. "You better watch it Overlander!" he warned. "Cause I'm gonna keep a close eye on you. Got it?"

"Want me to move in with you?" Sean asked in a cheeky tone. "It would make your job easier.

Reynard snarled at Sean. "Why i ought to..." He started as he approached Sean, but Lyco and Leeta grabbed the Wolf's shoulders and pulled him away from Sean and glared at him.

"What the hell is wrong with you Reynard?" Lyco asked angily, as her grip on Reynard's shoulder tightened.

"Yeah leave him alone you idiot." Leeta snapped as she glared hard at the orange Wolf.

Reynard only glared back at the twins before he gave an angry gruff and shook off the twin's hands. He then went over to Sean and leaned extremely close to his face.

"You are lucky that my loyalty to Lupe far outweighs my urge to tear you apart." Reynard whispered angrily at Sean

"God to know." Sean whispered in a cold tone before Reynard stomped away from the trio.

"Okay that's it! i have had it with his..." Leeta growled as she was about to go after Reynard, but was stopped by Sean who put a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't bother Leeta." Sean told the upset Wolf.

Leeta brushed Sean's hand of her "But you shouldn't let him threaten you like that!" She protested.

"I can let this one slide Leeta." Sean said. "Besides, we have another matter to attend to, like the Village Elder."

The twins looked towards each other and nodded. "Right we should get you there." Lyco remembered.

"Yeah let's go!" Leeta giggled as she and her sister again grabbed Sean by his arms and dragged him towards the Village Elder's home.

"I wonder if my surprise for the boy works." Sean thought to himself as he was dragged by Lyco and Leeta.

With Tails at the Tornado 3:35 PM.

Tails, along with T-Pup and RB-1N were making the most urgent repairs to the Tornado's main engine while Amy was applying some bandage on Sonic's arm. Tails was getting tired, he has been working on his plane for three hours straight. When Amy was done with Sonic, she went over and knelt down to Tails height.

"Tails, don't you think you should take a break?" Amy asked. "You have been working on that plane for a long time."

Tails wiped some sweat from his forehead, before he faced a concerned Amy. "Sorry Amy, but i have to get this plane up and running so we can catch Dr. Eggman's Death Egg." He tiredly said before he let out a huge yawn. Sonic went over and placed a hand on Tails' shoulder.

"Seriously little bro. You really should take a break." Sonic told the two-tailed Fox.

RB made some of his beeping sounds, which confused Team Fighters.

Sonic looked at RB, then at Tails. "Did you get any of that little buddy?" He asked.

Tails shook his head. "Sean is the only one who understands him." He responded. "...And he's not around at the moment."

Amy then got an idea. "What if we plug NICOLE Into Sean's robot and..."

ZAP!

The pink Hedgehog didn't get to finish as RB zapped her. Amy was fuming in anger as she drew out her PIKO hammer and Glared daggers at the frightened droid.

Amy was about to attack RB, but Sonic intervened. "Wow! Cool it Amy!" He told the pink Hedgehog.

Amy glared hard at Sonic "Move it Sonic!" She warned.

RB was rolling backwards in fear of Amy. Tails got up from his work and went over to RB. "Amy!" The fox called. Amy faced Tails "Sean told me that RB takes great offense in being called a robot!"

"And that is no excuse for zapping me!" Amy yelled while glaring at the droid.

"You're right on that." Tails said as he turned to RB.

RB just sent out some confused beeps, while T-Pup happily looked at his owner.

"Look buddy." Tails started. "I think you should go look for Sean and tell him about his ship's condition."

RB beeped in confirmation and started to roll away to go look for his owner.

Inside Sean's Room 3:32 PM.

Marcos was sitting cross legged on the floor, as he watched the Holocron show him a map of stars and planets with interest. A surge of panic suddenly went through his body as the Holocron shut down, before the door to Sean's room swung open. The cub's eyes widened as he saw his mother stand at the door frame. Lupe went into the room and picked up the Holocron, before looking disapproved at her son. Marcos, still frightened, stood up and faced his mother.

"What are you doing in Sean's room?" Lupe asked her son in a slightly angry tone. "Did he give you permission to enter his room?"

Marcos rubbed his arm in shame as he looked up at his mother. "No... He didn't" He responded.

"And did he give you permission to touch his stuff?" Lupe asked, referring to Sean's Holocron.

Marcos' eyes had formed some small tears as he look at his mother in shame. He wasn't the crying type, but when facing his mom in situations like this, he just couldn't hold it in. "No... No he didn't." He sniffled.

"I'm sorry mom..." Marcos apologized, but Lupe cut in.

"I am not the one you should apologize to young man." Lupe said, sternly. "And why are you in here?"

Marcos approached his mother. "You are not going to believe it, but it's like something told me to go in here and take it." He explained.

Lupe rolled her eyes over her son's excuse. "You're right... I don't believe that for one second." She said in disappointment. "How dare you lie to your mother?"

"But... But it's true mom!" Marcos pleaded.

"Enough!" Lupe told her son. Marcos mouth clammed shut. "I'm taking you to Sean, where you can explain things to him."

Before Marcos could protest, Lupe grabbed him by his arm and dragged him out of the room, while still holding the Holocron firmly in her hand.

At the Village Elder's home 3:35 PM.

Lobo and a dark brown Wolf in her eighties with grey hair set in a mohawk were waiting for Sean to arrive. They didn't have to wait long, as they saw Lyco and Leeta arrive while dragging on Sean's arms.

"There you are!" Lobo greeted the Jedi.

"Sorry it took so long." Sean apologized. The Village Elder was observing Sean closely.

"No need for that Sean." Lobo smiled. "Just as long as you got here without problems."

Lyco and Leeta eyed each other nervously, but it didn't go unnoticed by Lobo. "Girls... What's going on?" He asked with suspicion.

"We ran into Reynard." Leeta explained.

Sean decided to cut in. "...More like he ran into us." He added.

Lobo sighed and shook his head. "I'll deal with Reynard." He assured as the twins left the scene.

"Lobo, i wanted to ask you..." Sean started.

"Go ahead." Lobo responded.

"Why am i needed here?" Sean asked.

Lobo turned to Sean and sighed. "You see Sean... While you were sleeping, the Council of Pack Chiefs had a meeting with Lupe."

"And?" Sean urged.

"...And Lupe suggested to grand you honorary membership of the Wolf Pack Nation for rescuing Leeta and Lyco." Lobo explained.

Sean had a surprised look on his face. "Really?" Sean asked in a calm tone. Lobo nodded. "Then what's the problem?" Sean then asked.

Lobo sighed. "Her suggestion may have caused some unrest among some of the chiefs." He explained further. "So... They decided that you should be deemed worthy by the Village Elder."

"Seems reasonable." Sean agreed.

The Village Elder poked Lobo with her walking-stick, which he caught on. "Well Sean... you should probably go join Nana." Lobo said as he left to find Reynard.

"Who's Nana?" Sean asked, confused.

"Come with me Overlander." The Village Elder known as Nana said as she grabbed Sean by his top and dragged him inside her home.

Inside Nana's home 3:36 PM.

"It feels like I'm getting dragged everywhere recently." Sean complained.

"Stop whining young man!" Nana scolded as she let go of Sean. She gestured for the Jedi to sit on a mat in the middle of the room. Sean didn't hesitate and sat on the mat with crossed legs. Nana circled him as if she was inspecting him.

"So, my great-niece wanted me to see if you are to be a worthy part of our people." Nana said as the pulled a string of hair out of his head.

"Ouch!" Sean groaned as he rubbed his head. "Yeah, she wanted... Wait. Lupe is your great-niece?" He then asked, surprised.

Nana nodded. "Her grandfather was my brother." She explained as she put the hair she pulled from Sean's head, into the nearby kettle. The old Wolf took a wooden spoon and stirred the water in the kettle, before she again turned to Sean.

"I'm gonna need your hand." Nana ordered. Sean reached his hand out towards Nana and she immediately took it. She then pulled out a knife, which surprised Sean.

Sean started to panic a little. "Hey what are you..."

Shing!

Sean hissed in pain as Nana had sliced a cut into Sean's hand-palm. The knife dripped with blood. Nana wrapped some band-aid on his hand, before she went over to the kettle and poured some of the blood into the water from the knife. She then chanted in some strange language as she kept stirring the water within the kettle.

Sean got curious at her chanting. "So um... What are you doing?" He asked.

The old Wolf turned to Sean for a brief moment, before she continued her ritual. "I am communicating with the Great Spirits." She told the Jedi as she started chanting again. "Oh Great Spirits, hear my prayer! Search this Overlander's heart and mind to see if he is to be part of our people!"

"Again. The Overlander thing..." Sean mumbled.

"Silence boy!" Nana snapped.

Sean held his hands up. "Sorry." He apologized.

The water in the kettle suddenly started to boil. Nana gestured Sean to come over. Sean got up, went over to the old Wolf and looked into the boiling water.

"What are you looking for?" Sean asked.

"Nothing and everything" Nana responded.

"That's something Master Plo used to say sometimes." Sean said to himself.

"Hmm... What was that?" Nana asked.

"Oh, um... Nothing." Sean responded.

The old Wolf eyed Sean for a second before she turned her attention back to the kettle. She began chanting in the same strange language until the water suddenly stopped boiling and steam came up from the kettle.

Nana grabbed hold of her wooden spoon and turned to Sean. "The Great Spirits have their answer." She announced.

"So... What now?" Sean asked.

"Now, We must both drink the water at the same time." Nana instructed as Sean looked grossed out. "Want to do it yourself, or should i spoon-feed you?" She then asked.

Sean shook his head. "No, I'll do it." He said as Nana gave him a cup and she took one for herself. Sean dipped the cup in the water and sipped it while Nana did the same. After they drank the water, they sat the two cups down on a nearby table.

Sean had a smile on his face. "What is this?" He asked. "It's delicious!"

Nana turned to Sean with a smile. "It's Sweet forest tea!" She responded. "The great Spirits have deemed you a worthy part of our pack."

"Think we should tell Lupe?" Sean asked.

Nana shook her head as she took her walking-stick. "She is already on her way here." She said as she approached the exit. Nana gestured for Sean to follow her out of the home.

"How does she know that?" Sean asked inside his mind.

Outside Nana's home 3:45 PM.

"Thanks for your time young man." Nana smiled as her and Sean came out of her home.

"You're welcome." Sean replied.

"Moom! Not so hard!" A child's voice whined. Both Nana and Sean turned to look and saw Lupe was dragging Marcos towards them. Sean eyes widened when he saw that Lupe was holding his Holocron.

"Something wrong?" Sean asked the mother Wolf.

Lupe approached Sean, while still holding Marcos' arm. "My son went into your room without your permission, rummaged your stuff and he was playing with this." She told Sean as she gave him the Holocron.

Sean could see that the corners on the Holocron were turned as he examined it. "Your son opened this?" He asked as he looked at Marcos.

Lupe yanked Marcos so the little Wolf-cub was facing Sean. "Why don't you tell him Marcos." She told her son as she let go of his arm.

Marcos approached Sean. "I was looking at it for a moment, until it suddenly moved." He explained.

"Moved?" Sean questioned.

Marcos nodded. "Yes, the corners on the cube thing rotated and i accidentally dropped it."

Sean eyed Marcos. "And then?" He asked.

"Then it... opened by itself." Marcos further explained.

"Opened by itself..." Sean pondered before he eyed Marcos once again. "Were you drawn into my room by a weird feeling?"

Marcos' eyes widened at Sean's question. "Yes! Yes i was!" He responded before he looked up at Sean with confusion. "...Wait, how did you know?"

Sean knelt down to Marcos' height and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Because you Marcos, have a gift." He said.

"A gift?" Marcos asked with interest.

"Sean, what are you talking about?" Lupe asked.

Sean was about to respond when he heard electronic beeps from the distance. He turned and saw RB approach them.

"Oh, hey buddy." Sean greeted the droid. "I'm in the middle of something. Can i get to you later?"

RB beeped in response.

"Good to know." Sean said as he turned back to Marcos. "Anyway... I was talking about your powers kid."

"My... My powers?" Marcos asked, shocked.

Sean nodded. "Yes Marcos you are a force sensitive." He explained.

Lupe looked at her son, then at Sean. "Force sensitive?" She asked. "What does that mean?"

Sean turned to Lupe. "It means that your son has the potential to become a Jedi Knight." he explained.

"WHAT!" Lupe and Marcos asked, shockingly.
