"This operation may be more dangerous than expected." Pro muttered to himself. He looked at Captain America and asked, "Captain Rogers. You are a man who has experienced many battles. What do you think of this situation?"

Captain America crossed his arms, lost in thought, before saying, "I'm not so sure. The scale of a galactic war is beyond my level."

Plo Koon turned and looked at Captain America without saying a word, waiting for his next words.

"But now, the most important thing is that we must take action. One more minute we waste here discussing how to complete the mission means one more minute that Grievous will bring those damn robots to slaughter more people." Captain America said firmly.

"Captain Rogers, do you have any personal grudge against robots?" Pro suddenly asked, surprising Captain America.

Captain America muttered to himself, "It makes sense. We have also encountered a veritable army of robots on Earth. Their goal is to exterminate all life on my planet."

Plo fell into deep thought, and became even more worried at the thought of facing such an enemy. The enemy of the Avengers - also a robot, who wanted to exterminate all life on Earth?

As a Jedi Master, Plo was very proficient in perception, and in the brief time he talked to Captain America, he found that Captain America was not lying. Plo frowned behind his helmet. He wanted to ask in detail about the situation of the robots on Earth, but knew that this would have to wait until later, because the most urgent thing now was to complete this mission.

Now, there was another, more pressing matter at hand.

Cap returned to his teammates, who were still discussing and showing the clone pilots the various flight formations they had experienced. The pilots listened with great interest.

Admiral Yularen's voice interrupted them: "Shadow Squadron, take your starfighters and prepare to depart immediately."

All the pilots headed for their fighters, and the four Avengers followed the pilots to their assigned bombers and climbed into the back seats.

"Are you ready?" Anakin's voice came through the channel of the four Avengers.

"We will complete this mission, Skywalker," Captain America replied.

A moment later, Shadow Squadron left the Hunter-class Star Destroyer hangar.

Anakin instructed through the communicator: "Shadow Squadron, tighten the formation, let's test Colonel Rhodes's four-finger tactics."

Then, they continued to practice the tactics that War Machine had mentioned during the flight.

Meanwhile, in an undisclosed location across the galaxy, Count Dooku sat in a meditation chamber, legs crossed, wrists resting on his knees, as he allowed the dark side of the Force to flow through his body.

He felt that the Force was in a constant state of motion, unstable and unpredictable, and he had a hard time pinning down why this was happening.

But Count Dooku was very sure that he and every Force user in the galaxy felt the previous shock wave, and after that, the fluctuations of the Force became unusual.

Dooku suddenly opened his eyes, knelt on one knee, and a holographic projection of his Sith master, Darth Sidious, appeared in front of him.

"Master," Dooku said, leaning forward and lowering his head.

"Get up, my apprentice, I want to tell you something." Sidious said in his usual tone.

"What is it, my Lord?"

Four figures appeared on the holographic projection. Dooku looked up and recognized three of them.

"These are the 'Avengers' you mentioned that showed up on Naboo." Dooku said as he looked at the four men, then his eyes fell on the newest member, "I don't know this man."

"He was recently found. He is Colonel James Rhodes, aka War Machine. He is the one who sabotaged our plans during the Rishi Incident and informed the Republic of our intention to invade Kamino."

"Master, I think you have met these Avengers." Dooku spoke slowly.

"Yes, Tyrannus, I spoke briefly with their leader, the man named Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America," Sidious said with a nod.

"What do you think of this man, my Lord?"

Sidious frowned. "He is... an unpredictable person. This time, I found that I was wrong in my perception of the Force. Captain Rogers is not as simple as I thought. Who is he and what does he plan to do? He refuses to reveal a single word."

"Master, anything else?" Dooku asked.

"They are obviously from a primitive world. Don't quite understand the meaning of space, but they boast of technological means that we are completely unfamiliar with." Sidious recalled the conference with Jedi, clones and senators when he first met the Avengers.

"for example?"

Sidious played the footage of Ant-Man fighting.

Dooku saw that this Ant-Man could shrink and grow at will, and could easily knock down battle robots after shrinking. What really shocked him was the disc-shaped thing that Ant-Man threw at the AAT tank, which could shrink the AAT tank to the size of a toy.

"How is this going."

"Tyrannus, I also want to know what is going on. Even I am confused as to what this man is capable of. And you have to understand that he is just one of many." The Sith Lord stressed.

"How many of them are there?" Dooku asked nervously.

"According to them, there are nine people now. I tend to believe them. Only these four people have appeared in this team so far. There are another five people scattered across the galaxy, and I don't know where exactly. Everyone has his or her own special talents and abilities, far beyond our understanding." Sidious said.

“What would I do if I encountered one of these?”

"Capture them, and bring them to our side as best you can. I have a feeling whoever controls them will lead the tide of the galaxy."

Dooku raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "Master, please forgive my bluntness, but is it a bit of an exaggeration to say that we are leading the trend of the galaxy?"

As soon as Dooku finished speaking, he felt a strong sense of suffocation lingering around him, which made him realize how serious his master was about this matter.

"I am not telling you this to ask for your opinion, my apprentice. I am telling you because this is what you must do." Sidious said in a commanding tone.

Dooku coughed, lowered his head and said, "I understand, my master. I will do as you ask."

"Okay." Sidious nodded, and just as he was about to end the call, Dooku hurriedly said, "Is there anything else you can tell me about these Avengers?"

"In a way..."

Dooku waited in silence for Sidious to elaborate further.

"I told you I had spoken to their leader, Captain Rogers, didn't I?"

Dooku nodded.

"He is a man of conviction, an experienced and battle-hardened soldier, but don't let those titles deceive you. He may not have the power of the Force, but his perception is just as strong, and he is someone not to be underestimated."

Dooku suddenly remembered an important little detail, "My apprentice, Ventress, talked about the details of the fight with these Avengers after the Battle of Naboo. She told me that the lightsaber could not cut through Captain Rogers' shield."

Sidious also remembered the brief holographic communication with Dooku and Ventress, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I want to talk to her in detail about this matter."

Dooku nodded, knowing that any information about the Avengers would now interest his Master, "I will notify her and have her give you a full report."

"Very good, now it's up to you."

With the last order given, Sidious ended the call, leaving Dooku alone to think. He frowned, but in fact he did not agree with the measures Sidious took against these sudden arrivals.

Suddenly, an idea came into his mind.

These Avengers suddenly appeared, and three of them appeared on the day when the CIS invaded Naboo, which happened to be a day when the Force was fluctuating. Since then, the Force has become strange and erratic.

Could it be that these Avengers are the cause of this dramatic change in the Force?

Sidious may know more than the information revealed to him, but given Sidious's cunningness, he obviously won't tell everything.

"If possible, I need to explore this issue further. In my new mission, there may be an opportunity to learn more about these Avengers and their true capabilities." Count Dooku thought, stroking his beard.
