The Ninth Jedi

Go secure the crystal!

Hmm.

At this rate, we won't get there in time.

This way!

What do we do?

The crystal's installation is complete,

and the final calibrations on the cannon are already underway.

Everyone aim for the center of the kyber cannon.

Come on, there's no time to waste!

Don't let them anywhere near the fortress.

Annihilate them damn rocks!

I won't let you stop us!

There's too much counter-fire, we can't get in closer.

Kara, Ethan, come in, what's your status?

Can you destroy the cannon?

Ethan, Ethan! Can you hear me?

Yeah, yeah. I copy.

Bad news. We haven't even reached the command center.

Keep at it.

We'll attack the turret regardless.

Kwana, focus your attack on the power unit!

What? Wait. But if we do that...

If we make them crash onto Hy Izlan,

it will disable the cannon and buy us time, right?

That would work in theory, but what about you?

You don't have to worry about us.

We'll figure something out!

Four-Nines, get us out of here.

Use autopilot to remotely control the ships.

I'm sure young Kara can handle herself.

All right, you rogues.

Our target has changed.

Blow the engines,

we're gonna take that whole floating junk heap down.

- Roger that! - Roger that!

Yep. Roger.

We did what we could, Kara!

Kara!

The rest is up to you.

I thought you said you were gonna figure something out?

I'm working on it.

Whoa.

The Force is so strong with her.

Damage to main engine.

Emergency landing on Hy Izlan.

Redirect power to the control thrusters.

Continuing descent.

All right, we may have survived,

but that wasn't as much damage as we'd hoped.

Nawaam...

Any damage to the kyber cannon?

No functional damage detected.

Then we fire as soon as preparations are complete.

And we use it to take out their defensive fleet.

Our own forces will be in the line of fire.

That's irrelevant.

Understood.

Preparing to fire.

Charging the kyber cannon.

Preparing to fire.

Charging the kyber cannon.

Preparing to fire...

Look. Lord Dunbai, Lady Tafflah.

They're already preparing to fire the cannon.

Get your ships as far away as possible.

That's not an option.

It's too destructive a weapon.

If they fire it, it will tear a hole right through the galaxy.

And I do not plan on seeing a repeat of what happened to Bibin.

We are going to settle the score, no matter what it takes.

Hmm. All ships, descend on Hy Izlan!

It looks like it's still up to us, after all.

Kyber crystal status.

Charging in progress.

Weapons set up. Calibrate and align kyber cannon.

Roger.

Destroy every last one of them!

Huh?

Enemy forces have just infiltrated the control room.

They are indeed tenacious.

As a mark of respect,

I think I shall take care of them personally.

So you have chosen to return, Master Zhima?

It would be irresponsible of me

to allow the weight of your crimes to grow any greater.

What's wrong, Kara?

My father and Nawaam are fighting each other right now.

Can you not see that your way

only allows power-hungry fools and criminals to flourish,

while the average good-natured individual suffers?

Those who resist deserve to suffer.

I have amassed enough power to force every being to yield to me.

You're wrong.

You will never impose your will on others by using strength alone.

Fine, Master, I am no longer in need of you.

Nothing will stand in my way, including you.

Is there nothing that will sway you?

Kara!

Uh, my father...

I never wanted to cross blades with you.

So then you've been holding back.

You underestimated me, didn't you?

Ah, yes. You used that saber to cut down your master.

All right then, show me what you're truly capable of.

- Someone's coming! - Hmm?

Zhima?
