Back at Vadir, in the camp, Kote sat in a chair, contemplating whether to tell Obi-Wan about Maul.
Ultimately, he decided to tell them, as he currently had no evidence that Palpatine was Sidious and thus needed to keep that information hidden.
Kote sent a message to Obi-Wan's private communicator. After connecting, he found Obi-Wan searching for something.
"What's wrong, Kote? What happened?" Obi-Wan whispered.
"I just killed a Sith," Kote said with a slight smile.
"Just killed a Sith, what!… A Sith! They really have reappeared!" Obi-Wan initially thought Kote was just showing off again, but then suddenly reacted. "Where? Did you preserve his body?" Obi-Wan was astonished but still feared that Maul might not be dead.
"Don't worry, after I killed him, I shot him a few more times. He definitely won't revive, so please report this matter to the Jedi Council. If you have time, you can also personally come and see this guy's lightsaber, or hand it over to the Jedi Council," Kote said, fiddling with Maul's lightsaber.
"Master and I will rush over as soon as we complete our mission on Vadir IV. You must keep a close watch on Maul's body!" Obi-Wan warned again.
"Then I'll send someone to retrieve it later," Kote replied, seeing no other option but to have Maul's body brought back.
At the site of the previous battle, a recovery team was searching for Maul's body. Although they didn't find Maul's body, they saw robot footprints moving around and subsequently reported it to Kote.
"What! It really disappeared! He couldn't possibly have survived like that!" Kote was completely shocked that someone had recovered Maul's body and taken it away.
Meanwhile, C-3PX, who had already left Vadir with Maul, was observing Maul's vital signs, finding him in a constant near-death state, his will supporting his survival.
"This guy is more resilient than a robot," C-3PX thought, looking at the half-bodied Maul submerged in the life support device.
After exiting hyperspace, they arrived on Coruscant, stopping at a house exclusively for Maul. Sidious had been waiting there for a long time and dispatched medical robots to begin surgery on Maul, preparing to install mechanical prosthetics on him.
After three hours of surgery, the mechanical prosthetics were installed, and all the wounds on his body were treated. However, after the installation, his vital signs were normal, but he had not yet woken up.
Sidious directly unleashed a powerful Force lightning with both hands. The electric light flashed, striking Maul directly.
"Ah! Mandalorians!" Maul opened his eyes, revealing his Sith eyes. The resentment in his heart had filled his Dark Side, directly shattering everything around him, even crushing the medical robots into scrap metal.
"I swear to kill you!" Maul's Dark Force raged unchecked.
But Sidious zapped him with a Force lightning bolt. "This is Coruscant, and look closely at who is in front of you!" he roared.
"Forgive me, Master, it is my weakness. But now I can definitely kill him!" Maul quickly half-knelt after seeing Sidious clearly.
"No, my apprentice, he will eventually join our Sith Great Master. For now, your mission is to hide," Sidious said before leaving the place, intending to return to Naboo to think about how to approach Kote.
At the same time, Great Master Yoda, meditating in the Jedi Temple, sensed the power of the Dark Side appearing on Coruscant.
"Perhaps the child was right. The Dark Side is indeed resurfacing," Great Master Yoda sat cross-legged in the meditation room. Just then, Qui-Gon's communication came through.
Palpatine returned to Naboo and submitted a proposal to the current King of Naboo, Ars Veruna, for cooperation with the Mandalorian Government.
"The Mandalorian Government? They are just a bunch of mercenaries; they don't have suitable resources to trade with us," King Ars was not very pleased with Palpatine's suggestion.
"No, no, no, don't you want to acquire a powerful Naboo Royal Space Fighter Corps to deal with the Trade Federation? They need the best instructors, and there's a group of Mandalorians in the Outer Rim who have been attacking the Trade Federation. This would be very helpful to us," Palpatine's words seemed to have a magical quality that made Ars feel they made perfect sense.
"That's right, if we have a group of Mandalorian instructors training our pilots, then dealing with the Trade Federation's ships will be simple. I'll leave this matter to you, Senator Palpatine," King Ars nodded in agreement.
"A wise decision, King Ars," Palpatine said his goodbyes, preparing to contact Kote.
Meanwhile, Kote on Vadir was having a headache, as Maul, whom he thought was dead, had been taken away. With Maul's will to survive, he might truly come back to life.
Kote once again told Obi-Wan about this matter, and Obi-Wan looked as if he had expected it, because Great Master Qui-Gon had just reported the incident to the Jedi Council, and Great Master Yoda's assessment of the Sith was exactly this.
"But fortunately, we now have concrete evidence of the Sith's resurrection, and we will also send specialists to search for traces of the Sith and eliminate them as soon as possible," Obi-Wan comforted Kote.
"No, I thought I had changed history, but I didn't expect it to be corrected so easily," Kote thought he had changed Qui-Gon's future death, but he failed, and it might even make Maul stronger.
"No more talk, I still have to continue my mission on Vadir," Obi-Wan hung up the communication.
Kote was somewhat troubled, but then he suddenly realized that he hadn't changed nothing; Anakin was a very clear example. He would change things little by little, and eventually, history would become completely different.
So he decided to train himself and those two little ones rigorously; they must become strong enough to change history! Thinking of this, Kote was instantly full of Origin Qi and immediately dragged the two, who were on holiday today, to the temple for training.
"Isn't today a holiday!" Zeta complained, being lifted up.
"Exactly! We were making robots by ourselves!" Anakin also protested from the other hand.
"I'm in a good mood today, so extra training!" Kote laughed directly, seeing their unhappy faces.
"Then Bo-Katan must also come to train!" Zeta remembered Bo-Katan, who always rubbed her head at school, taking advantage of her height.
"Bo-Katan isn't like you two; she's always at the training ground. But today, we're starting new training," Kote said, holding the two little ones.
"lightsabers!" Anakin asked happily, having wanted to play with lightsabers for a long time.
"Or that skill you used two days ago!" Zeta recalled the Force Storm that had changed the world that day.
"Hmm... Of course, it's lightsabers, you idiots. Do you think you have the ability to control that now?" Kote carried the two little ones to the temple, letting them choose any training lightsaber and allowing them to read ancient texts freely, though they had to understand the Mandalorian language to learn some of the skills in the ancient texts.
The two, once put down, were like children snatching toys, beginning to choose training lightsabers.
Then Kote, imitating Great Master Qui-Gon, began to demonstrate for them, and the two learned with great earnestness.
Meanwhile, Palpatine, on behalf of Naboo, sent a request to the Mandalorian Government, specifically asking for Kote's presence.
