Landing on the exterior hull in a clear patch between two construction sites, Blake found herself surrounded by Stormtroopers. As they fired on her, Blake activated her Lightsaber and began to cut through the Stormtroopers. During the fight, an AT-ST entered the area and began firing on Blake. As Blake rolled out of the way, she jumped onto the balcony and began moving through the corridors. As she moves through the corridors, Yang contacts her via comlink.
Yang(Comlink): Imperial comm chatter is overloading the scanners. They're fortifying all positions to try and keep you out.
Blake: Let them try. They won't stop me.
Led through the confined inner workings of the Death Star, Blake eventually finds herself in one of one of the superlaser tubes. An alarm was soon raised as Blake barely reached a safe area. As she did, a power laser was fired in the tube in a routine test fire.
Blake: Yang, I'm inside some kind of superlaser tube.
Yang(Comlink): Be careful. I can see the beam cycling in regular intervals. You'll want to find cover when it fires.
With that, Blake began navigating her way through the superlaser tube. She cover every time the superlaser fired. Eventually, Blake reached a convergence chamber.
Blake: Yang, where am I?
Yang(Comlink): Some kind of convergence array. According to the schematics, there are seven others just like this spread all over the station's dish. The firing tube you were in is just one of sixty four, all being directed into a single massive beam. I....I can't even imagine what the Empire could do with that sort of power.
Blake looked around the convergence chamber. Up above her was an observation deck.
Blake: Yang, I'm looking at an observation deck.
Yang(Comlink): That's where you need to go. It'll take you straight to Cal and the other Rebels.
With that, Blake began jumping onto platform after flatform, encountering heavy Imperial resistance. As she reached the observation deck, the entrance was blocked by Adam Taurus and three Imperial Guards.
Adam: I see you've survived, my lord.
Blake: I am not your lord anymore.
Adam: That may be true, but I will still address you as such out of common courtesy. It is....regrettable that we find ourselves at odds, my lord.
Blake: It's not too late, Adam.
Adam: I'm afraid I cannot do that, my lord. I am a loyal servant to the Empire. Though it will pains me to do this, I must terminate you.
As Adam said this, the Imperial Guards readied their Force Pikes. Blake activated her Lightsaber and got into a defensive position. As the Imperial Guard attacked, Blake was able to parry their attacks and cut them down with ease. Once the Imperial Guard were taken care of, only Adam was left.
Blake: Stand down, Adam! I don't want to do this!
Adam: Neither do I, my lord. But present circumstances deny us that choice.
As Adam said this, he pulled out a red vibrosword.
Adam: I trust that you understand that you are at an disadvantage. I know how you fight. You are not the only one Darth Vader has trained.
Blake: You're fighting the same person, Adam. I'm a Jedi.
Adam: I will make your death as quick and painless as possible. I owe you that much, my lord.
In that moment, Blake and Adam charged at one another and clashed blades. As they clashed blades, the two former allies engaged in a deadly battle. Despite not being Force Sensitive, Adam proved to be more than a match for Blake. Adam countered Blake's Force abilities by utilizing his advanced training to maneuver around them. As Blake moved in for an overhead strike, Adam pulls out his blaster pistol and shoots at her, forcing Blake to focus her efforts on blocking the blaster shots. As the battle dragged on, it reached a stalemate.
Blake: Stand down, Adam! There isn't a move you know that I don't have a counter for!
Adam: Perhaps, but I have my orders, my lord. I know you didn't come along. The Mantis was the only ship unaccounted for after the capture of the Rebel leaders. I assume the Mantis is how you're here now.
Blake: Don't make me do this, Adam.
Adam: Neither of us have a choice in the matter.
With that, Adam readied his vibrosword as Blake readied her Lightsaber. The two charged at each other and exchanged blows with one another. During the brief duel, Blake struck Adam down with a cut across the stomach, fatally wounding Adam. As the wound was dealt, Adam fell to his knees. He looked upon Blake with a smirk on his face.
Adam: A well timed attack, my lord. It seems I've underestimated you.
Blake: It didn't have to end this way, Adam.
Adam: This...this was the only way it could have ended. It was....an honor to serve you, my....my lord.....
With that, Adam Taurus succumbed to his wound and died. Blake looked upon Adam's lifeless body with sadness in her eyes. Despite his recent actions, Blake had always respected Adam. After mourning him, Blake opened the door to the observation deck and moved forward.
Blake: Yang, I'm close. I can sense Vader nearby.
Yang(Comlink): Good luck, Blake.
In that moment, Blake was moments away from confronting her former master. Everything Blake had done up until this point had led her to this moment. She would face Darth Vader in battle with the fate of the Rebels resting in her hands.
