After facing off against the Stormtroopers, Aerrow and Piper managed to reach a hidden facility where an armed militia trooper aimed his blaster rifle at the speeder. Aerrow nods at the soldier as he let them pass. 

Aerrow: We're here. 

Piper: So this is General Kota's facility? How long have you been at it?

Aerrow: General Kota has been fighting the Empire since the fall of the Republic. Follow me. 

Aerrow led Piper through the hidden facility. They were greeted by a small furry blue creature who chirped in joy as he jumped onto Aerrow's shoulders.

Piper: Aw he's so cute! Who's this little guy?

Aerrow: This is Radarr. One of my oldest friends! 

Radarr waves excitedly as Piper waves back. Aerrow then continues to lead Piper through the facility. As she follows Aerrow, she sees militia soldiers armed and ready to fight whatever came their way. Eventually, they reached a room where Kota was waiting for them. 

Aerrow: General Kota.

Kota: Ah Aerrow! I see you managed to get young Piper here safely. Good work!

Aerrow: We ran into a squadron of Stormtroopers on our way here.

Kota: The Empire is resourceful I'll give them out. Leave us. 

Aerrow: Yes sir!

After Aerrow exits the room, Kota begins to speak with the young Piper.

Kota: You're probably wondering why I brought you here. The answer is simple, I want to train you to become a Jedi. Like your mother before you.

Hearing that caught Piper completely off guard by Kota's request. She knew how to handle a lightsaber and had some skill in using the Force, but she was no master like her mother was.

Piper: You knew my mother?

Kota: Aye. Your mother was a wise and powerful Jedi during the Clone Wars. And she was a good friend. 

Piper: Mother.......

The last time Piper remembered her mother was when she sent her away with her father. The last thing she saw on the ship she was in was her mother fighting against an Inquisitor. 

Piper: You think I could be a Jedi like my mother was?

Kota: You are strong in the Force like your mother was. These are dark times for the Galaxy young Piper. The Jedi are few and scattered. I want to honor your mother's memory by training you in the ways of the Jedi. Will you accept?

Piper took a moment to think about Kota's offer. To become a Jedi like her mother was something she never thought would happen. 

Piper: I accept. I'll become your apprentice and help you take on the Empire!

Kota smiled as a his new apprentice. For weeks, Kota has trained Piper to become an exceptional Jedi, but she still had much to learn from the veteran Jedi. Meanwhile at an Imperial Command Center, Dark Ace meets up with the Imperial Commander to speak about the Rebel attacks on the planet. 

Imperial Commander: Inquisitor Dark Ace! We've been expecting your arrival! 

Dark Ace: I'm here for the Rebel attacks. What has happened here?

Imperial Commander: Several of our bases have been attacked in hit and run attacks by a Rebel Militia force. We believe a Jedi may be involved. 

Dark Ace: Pull up a map of all the attacks!

The Imperial Commander did exactly that. As he looked at all the areas that were attacked by the Rebels, he saw they all overlapped at one location.

Dark Ace: That location, what is it?

Imperial Commander: It was an old outpost used during the Clone Wars. It's been long abandoned. 

Dark Ace: Ready an attack force! The Rebels are hiding there!

Imperial Commander: Are you sure? It's.....

But before the Imperial Commander could finish, Dark Ace begins Force Choking the Imperial Commander. 

Dark Ace: I will not ask again! Ready an attack force at once! We will find these Rebels and wipe them out!

Dark Ace then releases his grip on the Imperial Commander as he breathes heavily. Hours later, a Rebel Trooper on a watchtower scouts the area near the outpost. He soon sees something in the distance. He then calls out to Aerrow.

Rebel: AERROW! COME UP QUICK!

Aerrow then runs up to where the Rebel was. 

Aerrow: What's going on?

Rebel: The Empire is coming! Look!

Aerrow then takes the binoculars and saw Imperial Ships dropping off battalions of Stormtroopers and begin making their way to the outpost. 

Aerrow: Get everyone ready! I'll alert the General!

Aerrow then rushes to the room where Piper and Kota were and warned them of the Imperial attack.

Aerrow: General! The Empire is here! 

Kota: Already?! I knew it was a matter of time before the Empire found us, but this fast? Lock down the command center and get those defenses up an ready! Tell all squads to fan out and funnel any opposition towards us! Use their numbers against them just like we planned! 

Aerrow: Yes sir! 

Aerrow then runs out of the room to do as he was ordered.

Piper: What about me?

Kota: You're with me! They always say combat and experience was always the best teacher!

Kota then leads Piper to the entrance where Imperial Forces were engaged with Rebel soldiers. 

Kota: FOR FREEDOM! 

Kota and Piper then fight off against the Stormtroopers along with Aerrow and the Rebel soldiers. Despite the valiant fight, the Rebel force was outmanned and outgunned by the might of the Empire. Kota then decides on a desperate course of action. 

Kota: PIPER! AERROW! ON ME!

Aerrow then looks around for Radarr and calls out to him.

Aerrow: Radarr! RADARR!

Radarr then rushes to Aerrow as he jumps on the Rebel's shoulders.

Aerrow: Glad you're okay buddy! Let's go!

While the Rebel force makes it's final stand, Kota leads Aerrow, Piper and Radarr to the back door where the speeder was waiting for them. Kota quickly closes the door and locks it.

Aerrow: What's going on General?! We need to go back and support the others!

Kota: Aerrow! I have one last mission for you. Take Piper and get her off the planet!

Piper: We're not leaving you! 

Kota: There's no time! I won't be able to complete your training, but I know of another who will. On the planet of Mesa, there's a Jedi by the name of Falon Gray! He was my apprentice! Go to him and he will help complete your training! Aerrow, you must protect Piper at all costs! Everything rides on this!

Aerrow: But General.....

Kota: I gave you an order! Please Aerrow! The hope of the Rebellion lies with you and Piper now! 

As Kota says that, a red lightsaber pierces through the door and begins to cut through the door. 

Kota: Go! I'll handle the Sith! Go! 

Aerrow and Piper have no choice but to get on the speeder. Radarr chirps sadly as he looks to Kota who flashes him a sad smile. Dark Ace then cuts through the door just as Aerrow, Piper and Radarr began to leave the outpost. Kota takes notice of the Inquisitor.

Kota: A boy? Months of attacking Imperial targets and Vader sends a boy to fight me? I must say I'm disappointed! 

Dark Ace: It has been a long time Kota!

Kota: Not only do they send a boy, but they send you? 

Dark Ace: I sense something far more powerful nearby? Who was in that speeder?

Kota: You won't get nothing out of me boy! 

Dark Ace: Then I will strike you down old man!

Kota: You may be powerful Ace, but you are no master of the Force!

Dark Ace then shoots a torrent of Force Lightning at Kota, but he merely blocks it with his hand and blasts it back onto Dark Ace, but uses his hand to deflect it onto the ceiling. Kota then uses the Force to life a large piece of rubble and launch it at the Inquisitor, but he cuts it in half with his lightsaber.

Dark Ace: I see time has not dulled your power in the Force. It seems that our duel will not be decided by our knowledge of the Force, but by our skill with the lightsaber! 

Dark Ace then prepares his fighting stance and Kota activates his lightsaber. 

Kota: If I have to cut you down to get to Vader, I will. This is for Ven Zallow!

Dark Ace then lunges at Kota and unleashes a series of frenzied attacks while Kota deflects them. Despite his age, Kota was able to keep up with the Inquisitor. 

Kota: Not bad! But you still have much to learn Ace! 

Dark Ace: When I was Jedi, I was but a learner but now I am the master!

Kota: A master you say? All I see is a puppet of the Emperor! You're no master! You're a servant!

Dark Ace laughs as Kota didn't know of his true loyalties were not with Emperor Palpatine and the Galactic Empire, but with the Ancient Sith Lord Darth Cyclonis. 

Dark Ace: That is what you think! 

Dark Ace then continues pressing the assault onto Kota. As the fight drags on, Dark Ace begins to savagely attack Kota. The power and strength of the Inquisitor's attacks became too much for Kota as Dark Ace force pushed him against a wall. Dark Ace then uses the Force to lift him up and slam him against the ceiling and them slams him to the ground. Dark Ace then slams his lightsaber down to Kota, but Kota engages the Inquisitor in a Saber lock. Dark Ace then Force Pushes him and unleashes a powerful torrent of Force Lightning unto the Jedi Master, bringing him to his knees. 

Kota: Not bad for a novice.....hehehe.......

Dark Ace: What are you plotting old man? Who was in that speeder?

Kota: The hope of the Rebellion and the future of the Jedi Order........

Dark Ace: What do you mean?

Kota: The daughter of Anyarah will bring about the end of the Empire and restore the Republic! 

Dark Ace: If you think a simple child could bring down the Empire, then you are even more delusional as I thought! Look around you! Your entire Rebel cell has been wiped out! 

Kota smiles as he coughs. 

Kota: This one is strong in the Force. Stronger than you! In time, she will hone her skill and become a great and powerful Jedi and as long as a single spark of courage is there.....the fires of hope will ignite! 

Dark Ace: Enough of this! Die Jedi! 

Kota: There is no death.......there is the Force......(Piper.......Aerrow......the rest......I leave......to you......)

With those final words and thoughts, Dark Ace takes his crimson lightsaber and strikes down Kota. As he does that, a Stormtrooper Commander enters the room to speak with the Inquisitor.

Stormtrooper Commander: Inquisitor Dark Ace! We've captured the outpost and rounded up the surviving Rebels! What do you wish to do with them?

Dark Ace: Execute them! 

Stormtrooper Commander: Yes sir! 

As the Stormtrooper Commander left the room, Dark Ace glanced to Kota's dead body and thought about Kota's words. He saw the speeder leaving and now understood that one of the people on it was the daughter of the Jedi Master Anyarah. Perhaps this was a trick, but Dark Ace was not about to take that chance. Turning her to the Dark Side and recruiting her as a Sith Apprentice would greatly benefit both him and Darth Cyclonis in their plot for the Galaxy. Dark Ace then contacts an Imperial Officer.

Dark Ace: Commander Sarkli.

Sarkli(Communicator): My lord?

Dark Ace: Take your fleet and blockage the planet! I want nothing to get in or out of the planet! I want any ship attempting to leave the planet be shot down immediately!

Sarkli(Communicator): Understood!

As Dark Ace ends the communication, the Inquisitor makes it his mission to find the daughter of Anyarah and either kill her or turn her to the Dark Side. But in the mean time, he had to find her and hunt her down.
