The Cold Protocol (Male Sith Reader X Union Academy x Star Wars)

Chapter 113: Seoul

Within the pelican, (Y/n) sat patiently while the Separatist Marines remained vigilant. Two of them were talking to each other and from what the Former Sith can hear, it's about music. At least he thinks so. They've been flying for some time now and he must say this dropship is fast. He isn't sure where they are in the world currently, but he has a feeling they'll reach Seoul in no time. Johnson was currently in the cockpit with the pilots of the ship and (Y/n) was left to his own devices. He tries to occupy himself mentally by thinking about what happens once he secures Separatist State backing. He hopes that the CRS and Separatist Forces together can punch a hole directly to Unity City to topple the regime that's been terrorizing the world for 80 years now. Once that is finally done, (Y/n) can help establish a new government for the people of Earth. But he knows that either soon or later he'll have to face the Galactic Empire, more specifically, Palpatine. He's just hoping he can have Anakin by his side for when he does that.

(Y/n) is taken out of his thoughts when he hears two Marines talking about something and it catches his attention for some reason.

"You can't be serious." Marine 1 said.

"I am." Marine 2 confirms. "I just don't like K-Pop."

"How on Earth are we friends?" Marine 1 said in a joking manner. "There's plenty to like."

"Like?" Marine 2 asked.

"Well, there's the most famous one right now, HUNTR/X. They have some amazing music." Marine 1 said. "I've been to a few of their shows before."

"Of course you have." Marine 2 said with a chuckle. "What's your favorite song from them?"

"I think you know the answer to that one, Fred." Marine 1 said. "I have it on repeat in my free time."

"Alright cut the chatter." Johnson said as he exits the cockpit and enters the troop bay. "We're not that far from Seoul, so get yourselves ready to land."

"Yes, sir!" The Marines all said.

The Sergeant then sits down on one of the empty seats in the bay and they all wait for their arrival. After further traveling, the Pelican arrives at Seoul and the city's neon lights are clear to see for all. Separatist Airships float above the city for its defense while the city's Defense Network remains on standby. Once the Dropship reaches the Separatist Council building it comes in for a landing on one of the landing pads built onto it. As the Pelican's landing gear deploys and the ship touches down, various Marines stood guard while three men in suits stood there waiting. One of them was Thomas, the director of the CSIA. Once the Pelican officially lands, the ramp drops down allowing the occupants to disembark. The four Marines inside step out first with Johnson and (Y/n) following behind. Johnson guides (Y/n) towards Thomas and the two men waiting for them. Johnson salutes Thomas and the two men.

"Director, Councilmen." Johnson greets.

"Thank you for bringing the Rebel leader here, Sergeant." Thomas said. "You and your men are dismissed."

Johnson nods and turns back to the Pelican where he and his four Marines get back on. (Y/n) watches the dropship take off before turning his attention to the three men before him. Thomas held his hand out and the rebel leader shook it.

"(Y/n), it's an honor to meet you in person." Thomas said.

"Honor is all mine." (Y/n) said before turning his attention to the two Councilmen beside Thomas. "Who are these gentlemen?"

Thomas turns and gestures to each person.

"This is Councilman Shin Jae-Hyun of South Korea and Councilman Masaru Ishikawa of Japan." Thomas introduces. "Councilmen, this is the legendary rebellion leader you've been briefed about."
