At Naboo

On Naboo the Imperial precence was at minimal because of its peaceful world and Vaders orders to not bring major harm to the planet because of his certain past. However not all of the Imperials respected that order, there was a group of Imperials working on a secret weapon they planned to test on 2 rebels who were on their way to Naboo.

At Imperial base

As the Imperials were making the final preparations to the super weapon an Imperial Commander entered the room and was greeted by the head builder who said"Commander I have wonderful news our robot is functional to where we can move her with great ease". As the Commander was hearing this he stepped in front of the giant hand controlled robot asking "how about being in the field" making the head builder say nervously "well we haven't tested it". When the Commander heard this he looked at the head builder in both disapiontment and confusion asking "what, you haven't tested it yet". "W-well we still need to put in the key power supply which means nearly half the systems are down" the head builder said making the Commander super angry, but he mamaged to hold in a lot of that angry just enough to ask "what about weapon systems". "The canons are offline along with shields and most of the defense system...." was the last thing the head builder said before the Commander shot 7 laser bolts in his chest. Once the head builder fell lifelessly on the floor the Commander brought the second man in charged and asked "is the device ready for hand to hand kombat" getting a nervous "y-yes". The Commander then asked "is the mass absorbence device functional" getting a "w-we haven't properly tested it sir" from the other builder making the Commander mad again and ask "can it at least absorb a 5 year old girl" receiving a "theoreticaly". The Commander then said "get all hands on deck and prepare the weapon, we have some rebels to take or a rebel" recieving a nod from the builder as he went to get the crew for the robot. After the builder left the Commander stepped in front of the robot which was 10 stories high saying "now rebels, see the mighty power of Shenron" and doing an evil laugh.

In the a-wing

The flight to Naboo had gone quite smooth for the moment with Mira in the back playing with a toy she brought with her and Stahl sitting in the front watching the blue light flash by them. In the middle of the flight Stahl heard Mira ask "hey uncle do you really think mommy and daddy are nieve enough to know we aren't going to Alderaan" making Stahl laugh and say "yes Mira I do, your mother is a little nieve but your dad is......is completely gullable" getting a giggle from Mira as they exited hyperspace. As Stahl grabbed the controls Mira looked out the window to see a beautiful planet she had never seen before making her ask "where are we uncle" "my dear Mira I present to you Naboo one of the last Imperial free planets" Stahl answered as they entered the planets atmosphere.

In the city

Once Stahl landed the ship Mira jumped out of her seat and onto the ground spinning and taking the beauty of the planet making Stahl smile as he grabbed the credits he had been saving up for today. Stahl then kneeled next to Mira saying "we have 1000 credits Mira so that means we share it 50/50 so you get 200 credits and I get 800", Mira knew that her uncle was playing with her and said "nice try uncle but 50/50 means that you get...." as she tried to do the math with her fingers but lost her way early in the counting. Stahl then ruffled Mira's hair getting another giggle while saying "it means we both get 500 credits" in which Mira believed Stahl so they headed in the city to buy what they wanted unaware of the Imperials watching them both.

Throughout the time the 2 spent with each other Mira had bought herself tons of things. Mira had bought herself toys, a drawing book she could use along with markers so she could also draw on her Grandpas mask, plenty of balloons so she could fill them with water to throw at Dawn for fun, and she also bought gifts for her mommy and daddy. Stahl hadn't really wanted anything from the stores, all he really bought was ice cream for him and Mira, lunch for both of them, some sticky jell along with hair dye he could use on Zeb, and a new part for the Ghost that Hera had ordered him to buy during his shopping. Mira and Stahl then came across a necklace store which caught Stahls attention. As Stahl looked through the glass window Mira asked "Uncle are you ok" snapping him out of his thoughts. "Y-yeah Mira your Uncle is fine" Stahl told Mira who didn't look convinced and asked "what's on your mind Uncle" which Stahl gave a sign saying "I just wonder if this girl I like would love any of these necklaces". When Mira heard this she jumped up and down saying "you like someone you like someone" making Stahl smile at Mira's enthusiasm saying "yeah I do". "Then buy her one" Mira said receiving a "I would but I'd rather not, I don't think she likes me and quite frankly I'm not so sure we would work out" from Stahl who just got a "well like Grandma said you don't know if you don't try it" making him smile and say "alright Mira I'll tell her but lets finish our shopping". Mira then started to rub her eye saying "you know Uncle *yawns* I'm pretty tired. Can we go home now?" getting a smile from Stahl along with a "yes" as they headed back towards the a-wing.

When the 2 got to the a-wing Mira had been nearly exhuasted from the walk to where she had to hold Stahls hand so she could keep up. As they got to the ship Stahl suddenly heard a beeping and 3 seconds later the ship exploded sending both of them flying in different directions. As Mira and Stahl were on the ground still hurt by the explosion they both felt a rumble which soon started getting bigger and bigger. After a little bit the sun was being blocked which Stahl turned around to see a giant robot blocking the sun which kicked Stahl sending him flying until he hit a pole 10 feet away. The robot then brought its left hand down towards Mira and activated a machine inside the hand which glowed bright blue and started absorbing Mira as she turned to tiny particles entering the machine. During the whole time Stahl was unable to do anything from the intense pain he felt from the explosion and the kick. Once the machine had completely absorbed Mira it walked over to Stahl and stopped right in front of him. This made Stahl confused as he assumed the machine was going to either kill or absorb him too, but instead some speakers activated followed by a voice who said "Hello there Stahl, how are you liking the new invention". Stahl found the voice familiar but couldn't figure out who it was that he recognised, his suspicion was soon answered as the robots speakers said "don't recognise my voice a, well I admit it has been years since our encounter on that star destroyer, but just to help jog your memory a bit its me Commander Phil". When Stahl heard this he couldn't believe that it was the same Commander who the Seventh sister kept him captive on a star destroyer. Stahl then stood up on his feet saying "well I am impressed Phil it has been a long time, I thought you were space dust after I blew your ship" making Phil get angry and yell "you weasel you destroyed my ship and killed the fifth brother, do you know how that looks on your record?". "I wouldn't know, but I want to know is what have you done with Mira" Stahl said getting a laugh from Phil followed by a "oh she's fine, in fact she's in Shenron himself. You see this device is meant to abduct rebels that the Empreror wants alive, so basically it can take rebels prisoner inside of it and not even you can save them or quite frankly her in this case, but would you like to talk to her. Of course you would, here I'll put her on" who activated the inner comm systems to the black room Mira was in. "Uncle" was what Mira said to the comms unsure if it was really her uncle "hey starbird how are you doing" Stahl said trying to make Mira feel calm. Mira then said "Uncle what's going on" getting a "its ok Mira I'll get you out of there" from Stahl who got a "now why are you going to lie to her like that Stahl, you know that your Jedi powers are nothing here don't you". After Stahl heard that he smiled and said "oh I think my other powers will do something" getting a "ok then show me all you have got outcast" from Phil making Stahl mad. Stahl then closed his eyes making everyone in the head of the robot curious of what he was doing and when he opened them he showed his eyes completely red showing no pupils anywhere (basically how Kanan and Sabine were when they were possessed by the nightsisters only his eyes are a different color). As the Imperials and Phil saw this he said "what the heck are you Stahl" to which he answered with "I'm something else" and fly up and punch the robots face knocking it back. As the robot shifted back Phil grabbed a bar yelling "battle stations men, fight back" which the Imperials got to their stations moving the robot to try and punch Stahl but he just flew past the hand and gave a few more punches to the chest causing it to lose a lot of its balance. Through the entire fight Mira had no idea what was going on since all she could hear was fist banging against metal, her room was basically like a black hole, she couldn't feel the robot do anything as it kept falling and getting back up. As Stahl gave the robot a few more blows he flew a few feet back and brought his hands in the shape of a dragons mouth saying "Ka-me-ha-me haaaa" then shooting out an energy wave knocking back the robot Shenron. The blast however was a small one because Stahl held his energy back so to not harm Mira in the proccess. When the robot fell on its back creating a small hole in the dirt Stahl felt as if the battle was over, but Stahl suddenly heard laughing coming from the ship followed by a "I figured it out now you can't destroy me". Stahl then raised an eyebrow asking "oh know and what gives you that idea Phil" which Phil answered with "you held back so you wouldn't destroy me and this vessel so its quiet clear rebel, you can't destroy me because you can't kill Mira". Stahl then tried to say "I wouldn't count on that theory" trying to get Phil scared enough to let Mira go, but it backfired when Phil said "oh really? Then hit me with another and more powerful kameme wave if that's what their called right now" making Stahl get scared. Through the whole time Mira had heard everything and after Phil said what he said Mira told Stahl "do it uncle" to which Stahl became surprised at what Mira said but couldn't bring himself to do it. Phil had noticed this and said "you can't do it can you? I expected this much from a rebel, now move it" while he gave the hand sign to move the bot forward. As it approached Stahl Phil said "you heard me, either kill us now or don't bother me anymore" making both him and his men nervous. When Mira heard Phil finish his sentence she told Stahl "Uncle please you know what you need to do" making him widen his eyes even more followed by a "forget about what you want and do what's right" from Mira making him say "Mira" as he remembered all the memories of her having fun with her family. "Uncle be strong I don't want to live like this!" Mira yelled at Stahl as Phil kept waiting for Stahl to do something. Stahl finally understood what he must do saying "Mira..." bringing his hands into the same position position as before "....forgive me". As Phil saw Stahl take his position he gave a laugh while saying "you wouldn't dare" making Stahl say while bringing his hands to his sides "oh no". Phil then said "yeah I've studied you rebels for a long time, nothing but weak and soft hearted people, even you don't have the....." but was interrupted by Stahl who started to say "Ka-me-ha-..." making Phil say in fear "I know your bluffing, he's bluffing right?" to both Stahl and his men who shook their heads in confusion. Stahl then started to finish his technique by saying "-me" getting a scared response "but you'll kill her" from Phil to which Stahl yelled "Life is nothing without freedom you took Mira but I refuse to let you take anyone else". After which Mira yelled "Do it uncle" scaring Phil deeply as he tried to say "w-wait lets talk this out" but was too late because Stahl yelled "haaaaaa" shooting out a large energy beam at Phil making him say "this can't be happening". As the energy hit the robot sending it flying back it managed to hit Mira out of it, as she flew through the air with tears in her eyes she said "goodbye uncle, tell mommy and daddy I love them". The moment Stahl could sense Mira's presence he stopped his energy attack but by then he had already done major damage to the machine and Mira. Stahl looked at the falling robot trying to find Mira who was falling right under the robot and when he saw her Stahl quickly teleported catching her just in time before the robot hit the ground. As Stahl got on his knees a few feet from the robot putting his hand to Mira's heart trying to heal her in time saying "heal, heal Mira please". Stahl kept trying to heal her but she wouldn't open her eyes or even show a sign that she was still alive bringing Stahl down to tears as he whispered "please Mira be strong, just as you told me to be strong, please". Even after his pleas Mira wouldn't move she had been lost, Stahl then place Mira gently on the ground letting his tears fall from his eyes, but as soon as he heard noise over at the robot seeing that Phil was still alive Stahl expression changed from saddness to anger real fast. As Phil crawled out of the robots damaged head he noticed a stray blaster a few feet away and tried to crawl to it knowing that Stahl would still be around. However as he was about to grab the blaster a foot stepped on it kicking the weapon away and when Phil looked up to see Stahl with full rage in his eyes making Phil wish he had died in that blast. Stahl didn't waste any time with letting his anger out as he kicked Phil sending him flying a few feet away to hit a flat piece of metal severly hurting his back. As Stahl was standing over Phil he grabbed the Imperial by his colar bringing him up to eye level. "P-please this wasn't my fault" Phil pleaded not getting Stahl convinced as he asked "oh really, then who ordered the attack" getting a frightened "T-Trawn ordered the attack" from Phil. Even though Stahl didn't know his "brother" too well he knew enough about him to where Thrawn wouldn't go and pull something like this, so Stahl put his right hand on Phils head absorbing the memories he was looking for finding nothing about Thrawns orders. When Stahl finished he looked at Phil mad saying without any surprise in his voice "you would blame it on my brother" getting Phil on the brink of tears as he said "n-no please spare me, I'll do anything" getting a "bring Mira back" making Phil stare in disbelief of what Stahl wanted. Stahl then decided he had had enough of Phil and threw him hundreds of yards away but making sure that he would have a very slow amd painful death. Stahl then walked over to Mira's" body and picked her up and started walking to where Phils ship was.

Back at Atollon

"NOOOOOO" Ezra suddendly yelled frighting everyone in the Common Room. Once Sabine heard Ezras yell seeing his frightened face she asked "honey what's wrong" only getting a "no, she can't be". As Sabine heard this she started getting a bit confused. However she soon started to worry about who Ezra was refering too. Then everyone in the Ghost heard a ship land and once Ezra along with Sabine heard this they ran right out of the Ghost making Hera, Dawn Syndulla Jarrus carried by Kanan, and Chopper follow them. When Ezra and Sabine got outside they saw an Imperial ship land. As both of them saw the ships ramp drop they were bursting in tears at the sight before them. Stahl carried Mira's body over to them giving her to Sabine who grabbed her little girl crying that her body was so cold. Hera and the others soon came outside to see Sabine and Ezra crying with a dead Mira in their hands making Hera put her hands to her mouth saying "oh no". As both of them soon fell to their knees not having the strength to stand up Ezra asked with his voice cracking "W-what happened" getting "I wasn't able to protect her" from Stahl. After Ezra heard this he looked up at Stahl who just kept his head down and became mad super quick. In fact Ezras anger gave him enough strength to where he jumped at Stahl and started punching him to which Stahl did nothing to defend or stop Ezra as he kept letting his anger out on him. During the scene in front of them Sabine and the others could only watch Ezra try to kill Stahl since they didn't have it in them to stop him. "HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN TO HER. I TRUSTED YOU TO PROTECT.....MY........DAUGHTER!!!!!" Ezra yelled at the top of his lungs kneeing Stahls gut and force pushed him back making Stahl hit against the Imperial ship hard. As Ezra walked over to Stahl who said "I'm sorry Ezra, the Imperials ambushed us, I couldn't have stopped them from taking her, I just wasn't strong enough". Ezra then grabbed him by the collar bringing Stahl to his height and putting his lightsaber to Stahls gut saying "you promised me the day she was born you would protect her if I wasn't there to" in which he got a "I know what I promised, so I don't blame you if you kill me" from Stahl as he kept his eyes closed waiting for the end to finally come. However as much as Ezra wanted to kill Stahl he couldn't bring himself to press the button so he just said in a dark voice "don't you ever come near the rebellion or us again" dropping him. Once Stahl hit the ground he looked up at Ezra not completely understanding what he said asking "what did you say" getting a "your no longer a rebel Stahl. Leave" from Ezra as he walked over to Sabine still holding Mira's body and carrying both of them to the Ghost.
        
After Ezra carried Sabine and Mira back to the Ghost Kanan looked over at Stahl sensing him down then looking at Hera saying "I'll go talk to him" but was stopped by Hera who said "no, go take Dawn back to the Ghost she and everyone has had a tragic day. I'll talk to Stahl" receiving a nod from Kanan as he took Dawn back to the Ghost followed by Chopper. When Kanan and Chopper had gone in the Ghost Hera stood up and walked over to Stahl seeing him still sitting on the ground not willing to even show his face. "Hey Stahl" Hera said getting the ex-rebel to look up at Hera but only to look back down without saying a single word. Hera then sat next to Stahl saying "are you going to be ok Stahl, on your own?" getting a "I don't know, I don't even care anymore, I failed Ezra and Sabine so I don't know what to do anymore" from Stahl. "Well since your uncertain what to do maybe you could try to make it up to them in some way, or if you want I could talk to Bail and see if he can find a world you could hide in" Hera said making Stahl open his eyes still not looking at Hera. The reason Stahl had opened his eyes at what Hera said was because when she said she could help Ezra in some way he knew what he could do. Even though at his curent level he can't bring Mira back, but if he got a quick rush of the power he needed it would be possible for him to revive Mira, the only problem would be that for this to work it would have a price so Stahl decided before he would do what he planned he had to make sure that his last mission would help everyone. Stahl then looked at Hera saying "thank you so much, I'll find a way to make all of this right I promise" getting a smile from Hera knowing that one of her crew members had hope. Before they both said goodbye to each other Stahl gave Hera the very last hug he would ever give to anybody he cared about. Stahl then got on the Imperial ship and as he sat in the cockpit he knew what he had to do, he had to first destroy the Empire so the galaxy could finally live in peace and then he would have to kill his brother in power.....Thrawn.
