29. What Lies Beneath

Glad a lot of people liked my first part of the Revenge of the Sith I came up with last time. To be honest, I felt like I could have done better considering I haven't seen Revenge of the Sith for a while. Still it's a great movie, I just wish a lot more Jedi in the film survived like Aayla and Plo.

Now, onto reviews.

1049: Glad you liked it. I can assure you that a lot of Revenge of the Sith will be different from the movie.

Spartan-626: Thank you for those kind words. Actually, Dooku has a different kind of illness. Let's just say after playing a certain Old West Videogame I figured I'd go with the illness the main character dies of in the good ending. Might include the heart problem as part of the illness.

Nitro Zeus: Dooku's illness is more on the lines of TB, but a rare form of it I made up. I don't know much about medicine and diseases. As for Tarkin getting killed like the bad guy in the Expendables 2, I originally had something else in mind, but I am sure I can rework it.

Anyways, now its time to move onto a chapter based off one of the unfinished Clone Wars episodes involving Ahsoka. Disclaimers are the same as before, please enjoy.

Chapter 29: What Lies Beneath

May 23rd 2020, 19BBY

Coruscant, Core Worlds

0930 hours

Normal point of view

Coruscant suffered a lot of damage during the recent attack. Aside from the casualties suffered by the republic forces, numerous civilians were killed in the attack and thousands were wounded. Numerous buildings were destroyed or damaged in the fighting and would take both time and money to fix.

As for the Separatists, they lost over a third of their fleet and hundreds of droids, vehicles and fighters. Along with the capture of Count Dooku, the separatists suffered a devastating defeat and it would take time for them to recover before they launched another major offensive.

The capture of Count Dooku did give the Republic a much-needed moral boost but did little to quell the people's frustration. Once again, the people of the republic were demanding that the Jedi be removed from their positions as Generals in the republic military, many of them who had lost loved ones in the recent battle.

Despite this, the Chancellor promised a quick end to the war once they located Grievous and the separatist's leaders. But the biggest surprise came when Palpatine appointed Anakin as his personal representative on the Jedi Council and with it the rank of Jedi Master. The council on the other hand appointed Anakin as a member of the council but not the rank of master.

Anakin on the other hand didn't want this offer and told them that he wasn't ready to be on the council and humbly rejected the offer to become a member of the council. Once the matter was put aside, the council then decided to send Yoda to Kashyyyk since the separatists took the advantage and launched an attack on the Wookie planet during the same time as the battle over Coruscant. Accompanying him were two battalions of the 41st Elite Legion, a brigade of 501st clone troopers and Luminara.

Dooku, on the other hand was kept in Jedi custody in the temple awaiting trial and providing any intel on separatist movements across the galaxy as repentance for all the innocent people that died in the war. As for the public, they were demanding that Dooku be turned over to the Republic for execution. But the Jedi refused to do so until the Count recovered from his injuries.

As for Shaak Ti, her injuries weren't as severe as the doctors originally thought and she would recover in time. As for her Lightsaber, Obi-Wan was able to recover it during their fight with General Grievous bodyguards on board the Invisible Hand before the General made a quick getaway.

But the good news came again when Kasumi found out that Padme was in the hospital since the battle ended. According to her, the last time she saw Padme it was clear that she looked like she was pregnant with children and it was confirmed only a month prior to the attack on the Republic's capital. It was obvious that Padme must be going into labor earlier than most people expected and hadn't told Anakin about it. So, the Copper Brown haired girl decided not to tell Anakin about this and told Robert the same thing, hoping to see the look on his face.

But for Robert he suffered a great sorrow. According to the Doctors that attached Dooku's Prosthetic hands, the Count had a rare form of Tuberculosis that had no cure. According to the reports, Dooku contracted the disease sometime during a trip to Raxus Prime on orders from Sidious to see if there was anything left of the Dark Reaper that was utilized in the early days of the War, long before Ahsoka became Anakin's padawan and Robert's arrival.

He contracted this disease about five months ago, during the Canto Bight mission and despite the treatments his medical droids gave him nothing could change the fact. Count Dooku was dying and there was nothing anyone could do. Not even Ray with his knowledge of TB could do anything to help the former Separatist leader.

But Dooku, he didn't care that he was dying. In fact, it seemed that he wanted to die and was more than happy to live the rest of his time he had left in custody. However, he was happy with the fact that Robert spent a lot of his downtime talking with him about all the times he and his mother spent together during his days as a Jedi, before her disappearance and death. In all those talks, Robert confirmed yet again that Dooku saw his mom as a daughter that he never had and wanted the same thing Robert wants, Justice for the death of one they held dearly.

However, the last talk they had Dooku sensed a growing darkness emanating from beneath the Temple. Robert confirmed the same feeling and when he returned to the Range later that day, initiated a thermal scan of the area beneath the Jedi Temple.

What he found gave him the sense of Deja'vu. For about roughly almost a thousand feet beneath the temple was a large heat bloom emanating directly underneath the noses of the Jedi order. According to galactic history, the Jedi Temple was built on top of an abandoned Sith Temple that was left behind when the Sith were driven from the planet. Historians claimed to have removed all artifacts and items related to the Sith, but it appears that they missed one.

The scan also provided the location of a tunnel that lead towards the so-called abandoned shrine that no one had knowledge about. The entrance it self was hidden directly underneath an abandoned weapons factory dating back to the Jedi/Sith War some three thousand years ago. With the rest of his men, family and friends busy with helping the relief work on the damaged parts of the city, this task was left to Robert alone, or so he thought.

Barney and Gunner had seen the hidden shrine and volunteered to go with him to take it down for good. Seeing as this was a demolitions mission, Robert allowed Gunner to take as much C4 the explosive expert of the Expendables could carry.

This got Gunner excited for he grabbed over twenty-ounces of C4 explosives, a pair of SIG P320 9mm handguns, a Remington 870 shotgun with a forend weapon light and a FN SCAR-L assault rifle with a thermal holographic hybrid sight, fifty-round magazine and under barrel FN GL-1 40mm grenade launcher.

As for Barney, he opted for his preferred Kimber's, a M4 Carbine with an ACOG sight, forty-round magazine and a MP5N submachine gun with a red dot sight. His rifle was equipped with the same weapon light as Gunners Shotgun and his Submachine gun was equipped with a laser sight mounted on the under rail. Nothing to fancy for the leader of the Expendables.

Robert went for his usual weapons, the Morita, Pulse Rifle, BFG, Custom Handgun and Punisher. However, he grabbed the Pancor Jackhammer he modified two years ago, had his Morita in its traditional scatter mode and grabbed three extra ounces of C4. Once they were all loaded up, they made their way to the factory and after Gunner blew the entrance to the shrine open all three slowly made their way towards what they could only describe as the depths of hell. They were in for one tough mission.

Roberts point of view

I will be the first to admit that I was surprised by the sudden appearance of Anakin, Rex, Echo, Fives and Hevy prior to Gunner blowing the entrance up. Turns out Anakin wanted to tell me that Dooku had no knowledge of Ahsoka's current whereabouts and had been trying to locate her on his own. That was a big surprise.

I was grateful that Dooku was trying to help me find the women I loved and hopefully this would bring him some kind of peace before he passed on. I really didn't want Dooku to die, but this was a rare form of disease that we of Earth had experience with. Yet despite the knowledge and available treatments, Dooku refused.

Even so, I wanted to at least give him some kind of peace before his time came.

But the biggest surprise came to me when Anakin told me that Council had ordered him to spy on the Chancellor. Ever since the war began the Chancellor was gaining more and more power, has been in office longer than any other Chancellor before him and literally bypassing the senate and destroying the constitution of the Republic gaining more and more power.

Because of this, Anakin was ordered to gather as much evidence of the Chancellors doings so that when the war ended and if the Chancellor refused to step down then the Jedi would force Palpatine to step down and relinquish his emergency powers. From what I could gather Anakin was having mixed feelings about being forced to spy on one of the people he called a friend and was suffering from nightmares.

When I asked him about the nightmares, he told me it was nothing. But I had my suspicions it had to do with a certain Senator.

"Man, this place has certainly seen better days." Hevy said, shining his helmets light on the skeletal remains of a Dark Jedi. "Looks like this poor guy ran out of strength and died on the spot. Hell of a way to go." The ARC trooper added.

"I would rather go down fighting." Echo said in agreement shining his own light on another Dark Jedi.

"I would rather die of old age." Fives stated. He then turned towards Rex. "What about you Captain, how you want to die?"

"I would rather die as a warrior and a father then a coward and in service to someone like the Chancellor. Having to take orders from someone who would order us to shoot our own brothers and not take action to deal with a traitor is not someone I want to follow." Rex stated with anger. After seeing Dutch die protecting Fives made Rex seriously doubt Palpatine. Personally, I couldn't blame him.

"If I were to die, I would die as long as I did something worth dying to protect." Anakin agreed.

"Dying isn't an option right now. We need to find the shrine and blow it hell." I reminded the four extra pairs of hands. "Sense anything, General?" I asked.

"Yeah, a whole lot of darkness. That way." Anakin answered and pointed down the passageway. "I may not know a lot about Sith Shrines, but one thing I do know is that they are big and may have some kind of security force. Droids or something like that so stay alert and watch for…" he began before coming to a complete stop after the corridor ended.

All of our jaws dropped. Right in front of us was a massive Temple similar to the one that was build by the ancient people in the AVP universe but this one was real. Its massive appearance gave it an evil presence and down below were the bodies of many a brave Sith or explorer who tried to venture into it.

"Kind of creepy don't you guys think. Hope there isn't a Xenomorph Queen in this place. That bitch gives me the creeps." I admitted.

"Judging by some of these bodies, I don't think we're dealing with aliens with acid blood and razor-sharp tails." Rex said looking at one of the fresher bodies. "Look at this poor soul. Looks like something had bitten down on this guys shoulder. What ever it was is clearly dead. But it looks like the poor sod shot himself in the head. What would cause a person to do that to themselves?" the 501st captain asked.

"Don't know. But whatever it is must have been very powerful enough to kill all these people." Anakin answered; his eyes fixated onto the temple. "The Darkness is defiantly inside the temple, but I can't get a lock on it. It seems to be very powerful; it has to be what's clouding our connection to the Force." He added.

"Then that's our objective. Let's get this over with. Once we finish this, the sooner we can get back to finding Sidious, Grievous and Ahsoka." I stated and moved towards the temple, the others following close behind me with their weapons primed and at the ready in case of any hostile presence.

When we reached the top of the steps I came to a quick stop and scanned the area. My motion tracker had picked up movement above us and it could only be hostile since it was just me, Anakin, Rex, Barney, Gunner and the three remaining Domino Squad soldiers down here.

I scanned the entire entrance but found no trace, what I did find where hieroglyphs showing some kind of talisman sending several beams of some kind into several people, who were then replaced with a creature that had three razor sharp claws on its hands, feet and no eyes. The next set of hieroglyphs showed the same creatures attacking those who seemed to use the Force or were Jedi. "Seems like this 'icon' turns people into some kind of creatures that hunted down people connected to the Force. My guess they can also turn the force sensitive's they attack into the same creatures." I surmised as the rest of the group joined me.

"Looks like something you'd see in old Mayan ruins." Gunner said lowering his rifle and tossed one of his personally made Flares down the hallway. Unlike standard flares, his were made to last longer than usual and were far brighter than normal.

The light from the flare gave us two paths to choose from. "I'm getting a strong sense of the Dark Side coming from the right passage." Anakin said. He wasn't the only one, I was feeling the same thing.

"It'd take to long for all of us to check both passages so we'll split up. Barney, take Gunner, Hevy, Echo and Five down the left passage. Anakin, Rex and I will take the right. Keep in constant contact, somethings not right down here. If you find something that looks like a Sith Artifact, destroy it. We can't risk having another Krell come down here and use them for their own selfish plans." I instructed.

"Might be better for me to go with Gunner. Having a Jedi with them will make it easier to find the source of this dark presence." Anakin suggested. I agreed and took Fives, Echo and Barney with me while Anakin took Rex, Hevy and Gunner. Hopefully, one of our groups would find the source of the evil and destroy it. Barney took point and followed the passageway followed by Fives and Echo. I was about to follow them when I heard something behind us and turned around.

Again, I scanned the area with my weapon but still found nothing. I did get a glimpse of something grey that moved to quick for me to get a glimpse of it. Something inside me was telling me that whatever I saw, it wasn't friendly. I quickly returned to the others, not knowing how right I was.

No sooner had we separated from the others, the passageway behind us suddenly closed so fast that we didn't even have a chance to double back. "Damn it, I was afraid of that." I cursed. I unsheathed my blue saber and began to cut through sealed door. Slowly but surely, I carved a hole large enough for a person to squeeze through. I was about halfway through when my motion tracker suddenly began to show multiple contacts five hundred yards ahead of us and closing fast.

"We got echoes. Stay close." I ordered. Fives, Echo and Gunner got on my flanks with their weapons aimed down the corridor. The sound of something running grew louder and louder. As the noise grew closer and closer, Echo who I had given the Pulse Rifle to use alongside his blaster shouted. "OVER THERE!"

"CONTACT!" I called out and the four of us opened up on several creatures which reminded me a lot of the Xenomorphs due to the lack of any kind of eyes. Bullets and blaster bolts streaked towards the hostiles downing several of them while the others just continued towards us running over the dead. "RAKGHOULS! WE'VE GOT RAKGHOULS!" Fives shouted, downing one of the jumping Rakghouls with a burst of blaster fire.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE RAKGHOULS!?" I shouted, dropping my empty magazine from my Jackhammer and loading in a fresh one.

"TELL YOU LATER!" Fives stated killing three more of these creatures with blaster fire. "GENERAL SKYWALKER! WE'VE GOT RAKGHOULS DOWN HERE! I REPEAT, WE HAVE RAKGHOULS!" Fives shouted into his commlink.

Normal point of view

"WE'VE GOT…. I REPEAT, WE HAVE…" Fives shouted over the commlink but his transmission was all garbled due to the thickness of the stones that made up the temple.

"Say again Fives, I didn't copy." Anakin spoke into his own commlink only to lose the transmission. Despite losing the transmission, he didn't have to wait long. The sound of Hevy's pistols being fired soon got his attention and that's when he saw it. "RAKGHOULS!?" he shouted in confusion igniting his saber and sliced two of the pouncing creatures in half.

"What the hell are Rakghouls?" Barney asked, firing his MP5 in short controlled bursts taking down a few of the now identified Rakghouls. One Rakghoul tackled the Expendable's leader to the ground, knocking his SMG out of his hands and began to claw at Barney's Mjolnir armor. Thankfully, the shields on his armor held and the claws on the right arm broke. This gave Barney the chance to draw one of his Kimber's and fired an entire clip into the torso of the creature, killing it. Pushing the dead body off him, he quickly loaded a new clip into his handgun, drew his second and fired. A burst of .45 ACP pistol rounds downed four Rakghouls while a stream of blaster bolts from Rex's pistols and Hevy's rotary blaster mowed down two dozen more hostiles. The ones that managed to get by them were sliced by Anakin who used not only his own saber, but Ahsoka's saber as well.

"To answer your question Ross, Rakghouls are mutants engineered by Sith three thousand years ago with the sole purpose of building an army. They can spread the Rakghoul plague by a bite or single scratch. But it looks like these ones were engineered to protect this place and whatever is hidden in this place." Anakin answered as Barney picked up his fallen weapon. "Stick close to each other. Don't let them get to close." He said to his men who nodded. While the attack had subsided, more of them were on the way.

Meanwhile, in the other passageway Gunner fired his SCAR's grenade launcher sending shrapnel into a small group of Rakghouls ending their lives while a barrage of Buckshot impacted the bodies of two more Rakghouls. "PUSH FORWARDS!" Robert shouted firing burst after burst of twelve-gauge slugs towards the horde.

The others followed suit and downed the horde with the combined firepower of ballistics and blaster bolts. Each creature downed meant fewer hostiles that would try and kill them or make it to the surface. Attaching his shotgun to his back and whipping out his Morita, Robert slammed his shoulder into one of the Rakghouls before he used his feet to flip it over and then slammed the boot of his armor into the face of the creature, crushing its face into bits of blood and guts.

Angered by the death of one of their own, the other Rakghouls charged towards the Lone Wolf who smirked under his helmet and pulled the trigger of his rifle. A long burst of .308 Winchester Rifle rounds slammed into the bodies of the horde quickly followed by a burst of 4.73x33mm caseless rounds which mopped up any others that were still alive before they began to fall back.

Rakghouls may not be intelligent but if one underestimated them that they would be overrun and killed. However, in both passageways the groups pushed forwards mowing down every creature they encountered sending them to join their masters in hell. Despite this fact, the creatures continued running towards them.

(Shepard of Fire Starts)

"RELOADING! COVER ME!" Echo shouted loading a fresh magazine into the Pulse Rifle while Fives fired away with his DC-15 in short bursts to conserve ammo and maintain his accuracy. One Rakghoul jumped from above in an attempt to claw the ARC trooper to death, but Fives saw this just in time and rolled out of the way while the Rakghoul got a face full of buckshot from Gunners shotgun.

"Thanks, General." Fives said, lobbing a grenade towards the incoming horde. The grenade detonated and took more Rakghouls to hell. As for the Lone Wolf, he took a risk, configured the BFG to launcher mode, charged up the cannon and fired. Streaking towards the horde, the ball of plasma impacted one of the creatures before exploding and turning much of the horde into puddles of goo.

Ejecting the empty cartridge and loading a new one, the Lone Wolf reconfigured the hybrid weapon back to rifle mode and fired away. A long burst of plasma rounds mowed down hundreds of the creatures as Robert moved forwards followed by the others who mopped up any stragglers that would have gotten the jump on them. "MINDLESS BASTARDS!" Robert shouted, hitting one of the Rakghouls in the head with the butt of his weapon before, much to everyone's surprise snapped a creature's neck.

"KEEP PUSHING!" he shouted again, and launched a powerful Force Push towards the horde sending a majority of them flying back and hitting the wall, some of them breaking their necks.

In the other passage way, Hevy sprayed the creatures with a volley of fire from his Blaster Cannon while as Anakin leapt over the Troopers shoulder, landed in the center of the horde and sent a massive Force Repulse, disintegrating a large portion of the horde while the rest of them were mopped up by blaster and gunfire.

"We need to get the hell out of here. We can't keep this up!" Barney shouted, firing short bursts of 5.56mm FMJ rounds which passed through one creature and killed the one behind it.

"Agreed. I'll take point, Barney take the rear. Rex, Hevy keep up the fire!" Anakin shouted and ordered. Swing both his sabers, Anakin cut through creature after creature, clearing a path for them while weapons fire finished off any he missed.

"I don't think we can keep this up." Anakin said after he sliced his twentieth Rakghoul apart, only to look up and see more Rakghouls running towards them. "Where's the Calvary when you need it?" he asked while his support prepared to fire their weapons.

Just as the monsters got closer and closer to the group, one by one the Rakghouls were mowed down from behind by a combination of blaster bolts and bullets. Looking up, the 501st general saw that Robert, Gunner, Echo and Fives had escaped their passageway and were coming down the rear of the current passage providing the much-needed assistance to the others.

"Ask and you shall receive." Robert teased, lowering his Morita as the last Rakghoul was killed. "Sorry it took so long. Bastards aren't to keen on letting us get to the center of the shrine." He added, loading a fresh magazine into his rifle after ejecting his spent magazine.

"I'm just glad you're all still alive." Anakin said with relief, deactivating his sabers. No sooner had he did, the sound of metal feet clanking on the stone ground was heard from behind them. Turning around, the two groups looked to see HK-47 running towards them with a heavily customized HK417 assault rifle in his hands.

"Joyed statement: Oh, master I was worried that you and your companions were already dead." The assassin droid stated before he aimed his rifle and fired a single round which tore through the head of a Rakghoul that almost got the jump on the group.

(End Song)

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Robert asked slightly annoyed that HK was down in the temple and not back with the rest of the Dragoons.

"Answer: Master, I detected a large lifeform beneath the shrine. From the scans it looked to be the size of a Rancor or a Gorog. Knowing this, I rushed to these lower levels to assist you in killing the large meatbag." The assassin droid explained.

"Large lifeform. Please don't let it be a queen." Robert said to himself.

"What ever it is, we're close to the target. Let's wrap this up as quickly as we can before we end up joining the dead." Anakin stated. The others agreed and followed after the youngest member of the Jedi Council.

As they continued forwards, they encountered fewer and fewer Rakghouls which meant they either killed a lot of them or the rest were waiting for the right moment to strike. Thankfully, they made it to epicenter of the pulsating darkness to find a massive blood red obelisk surrounded by the statues of several Sith followers who were in the kneeling position like they were praying to the statue.

"Target sighted. Commence demolition." Robert said. Under his helmet, Gunner grinned with delight and began to set the plastic explosives across the pillar from top to bottom while the rest of the group stood guard while the charges were placed. As Gunner placed the last few charges on the Obelisk, a large hand punched through the floor before it retreated back down to the lower levels. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Robert cursed aloud.

"Maybe it was that large lifeform." Barney said, peering slightly into the hole with his M4 at the ready. Much to his surprise a pair of yellow eyes stared at him for a few moments before they moved out of sight. "Definitely the lifeform the droid picked up." Barney said backing away from the hole quickly just as Gunner finished setting the charges.

"Main charge is set to thirty minutes. That will give us enough time to get the hell out of here and double back to the surface." Gunner stated. With the timer starting to count down the group began to double back to the surface. The others were able to exit the shrine area, but just as Robert was about to exit the floor beneath him began to break and he fell down to the lower level.

"KID! YOU ALIVE?" Barney shouted into the commlink.

"Yeah, I'm alive. Just get out of here. I'll find my way back to the surface." Robert called through the commlink. Barney didn't want to leave the kid behind, but with the timer counting down they didn't have time to find a way to get him back up so they went on without him.

Back below the Obelisk area, Robert soon found out what the large lifeform was. Standing in front of him with razor sharp teeth and standing at nearly twenty-four meters on height with black skin was a massive mutated Rancor.

The Rancor sniffed and soon caught Roberts scent. "You are one ugly motherfucker." Robert spat, raised his rifle and was about to fire when the Rancor swiped its massive claw knocking his rifle out of his hands and grabbed him. Bring its victim to its mouth the Rancor prepared to take swallow the Lone Wolf whole only to feel a sharp pain in its hand, courtesy of Roberts knife.

Dropping the armored warrior to the ground, Robert rolled to the right and collected his fallen rifle. Rather then shoot the monster, which he knew would only piss it off he attached his rifle to his back and unsheathed his sabers, igniting both blades. This seemed to only further enrage the Rancor which charged towards him. Again, Robert rolled out of the way as the Rancor collided with one of the ceiling supports. "Bastards going to take this place down if he keeps destroying the support beams." Robert said, throwing one of his sabers towards the Rancor grazing its leg, but not enough to sever the leg.

"Didn't like that." Robert joked as the Rancor roared in pain. Enraged by its injury, the Rancor moved slowly forwards and attempted to grab Robert. Jumping up and avoiding the massive claw swipe, Robert landed on the back of the Rancor and plunged his sabers into its skin. He stabbed his sabers into the back several times before he leapt off the monster of a creature which howled in anger.

Landing on some of the fallen rubble, Robert saw that the creature was starting to lose strength and was starting to go on a frenzy. "I don't have time for this." He growled as he noticed the timer on the C4 was getting lower and lower. Raising his hand, he sent a torrent of Force Lighting towards the monster, stunning it before he noticed that the creature was starting to lose strength.

Using this chance, he rushed forwards and threw sabers towards the creatures' eyes, blinding it and allowing him to jump on its head. Taking a few grenades from his belt, he pulled the pins and threw them into the mouth of the monster, jumping off the creature just before the grenades exploded leaving a mess of blood and guts, leaving no trace of the creature's head.

"El Gigante wasn't as tough this fucker." He said to himself before jumping out of the Rancor pit and landed at the doorway leading out of the Obelisk room only to find more Rakghouls drooling and waiting for him. The timer on HUD indicated he had only ten minutes left before the charges detonated. "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY!" he shouted, pulled out the BFG, configured it to blaster mode and charged forwards firing his hybrid weapon.

(Back from The Dead Begins)

Firing from the hip is against standard firearms handling for there is always the chance that a stray shot could either hit an ally or an explosive tank, aiming down one's sights always increased one's accuracy in any situation. However, this situation was a race against the clock to get the hell out of Dodge or else get buried underneath a lot of stone.

Spray and Pray was the name of the course of action for the day and it suited Robert just fine, any monsters that he didn't kill would be buried alive when the temple came crashing down around them. Shooting down one tango, Robert bashed another Rakghoul like a linebacker and kept on running out of the temple as the timer continued to count down.

By the time he reached the entrance to the temple, he looked behind him and saw that more Rakghouls were rushing towards him. Taking the last of his grenades, he pulled the pins and threw them towards the incoming creatures which then exploded sending deadly shrapnel into the bodies of dozens of creatures killing some or wounding them.

Returning to his run, he jumped down stairs and continued to run like the wind towards the exit with the Rakghouls weary of following him. The timer reached zero and the plastic explosives detonated. Unlike the normal C4 explosives, Gunners charges packed more of a punch and did a lot more damage to the Obelisk, causing it to explode and triggered a chain reaction from the energy pulsating from the pillar. Taking cover behind a dead body, Robert ducked down as the explosion consumed the shrine and the remaining Rakghouls while sending Robert colliding into the wall behind him. The blast knocked the wind of him for a few seconds before he looked up and saw the temple and shrine were now nothing but rubble.

(End Song)

"Hopefully that puts an end to the Jedi's vision being blinded by the Dark Side." Robert said as he walked away from the temple and headed back to the surface.
