2051, it has been eight years since the Galactic Civil War has over. But, to Jay, it would mark ten years of many things. After the Battle of Hoth, and Luke finding out about his father, Jay fought his duel with Tilana on Sullust and left her to die. After finding out Tilana is alive and now dons the name Darth Fury, Jay knows he has to fight her.
After Jay fought Tilana, she was cut up, burned up and place in a life support suit like her master, Darth Vader. She, like Vader, was outfitted with a gleaming black life support suit with a lighted control function panel set across her chest. Her helmet, modeled after Vader, was equipped with an oval vision receptors and a triangular respiratory vent. Ten years after the duel, she modified the helmet to give it a more menacing look. Her voice, was transformed into a commanding baritone, like her master. After the first few weeks into her suit, she had to relearn everything and adjusted to her new life in her suit while regularly going through maintenance on her suit and trying to heal her hideously scarred flesh. During her time, she though about Jay and wanted revenge. During the war, she dispatched troops to find and capture Jay and to have him executed in revenge. When the Rebels found and rescued him, she was scolded and punished by her master, being the chief behind her the plot. As punishment, she was assigned to Coruscant until Vader can trust her again. When the Battle of Endor was underway, Vader order her and her troops, the 8th Legion, to Jabiim. When she heard about Vader and Palpatine's death, she was furious and ordered all troops to find Jay and eliminate him and his troops. Sadly, she never got a chance when the war was over. What was left of the Empire retreated into the Unknown Regions. Fury traveled to Vjun where a castle was constructed in her honor where she and her troops would spend the days in hiding from the New Republic. Fury spent her time training, healing, and trying to find Jay. Then, she found the perfect way to lure Jay out of hiding and destroy him.
At Earth's Jedi Temple, Jay was meditating with his apprentices. As he meditate, he felt something is wrong through the Force. Through the Force, he felt the sound of people in screaming, people in pain and saw people dying. Before he got out of the meditation, Jay saw Darth Fury was charging at him after impaling someone with her lightsaber. Jay was horrified by what he saw. At first, he thought Vader had survived and he is a clone. But, the Force wasn't lying to him. It was Tilana, in that armor slaughtering the innocent; mercilessly and without compromise. Then, Jar entered the room and told Jay to come with him to the communications room, saying it is urgent. Inside, with Kandra, Fares, Mollbry, Jar & Britt, Jay saw a hologram message from Darth Fury and Darth Zift, an ex-Imperial Inquisitor. Zift, after the war, went into hiding and took up the job of bounty hunter until he was found by Fury. In his spare time, he tried to find Darth Feyia, a Sith long believed to be dead. Zift challenged Jay by saying "There will be more innocent blood stained on your hands, Lyon." He said after lining up scared citizens. "Unless you come here to Onderon and face me. Come alone and if you don't... " He paused and ignited his saber and swung sideways, decapitating the heads and four citizens. "This system will burn." He said as the message ends. The message made Jay sick to his stomach and decides that he must go alone to rectify his mistake. But as Jar expresses his concerns about this undertaking, Kandra cryptically states that Jay will not be alone in this endeavor. Before departing, he visited his family who he informs them about Darth Fury on going to confront her. Just like before, when Jay went off to fight for the Rebellion, Jay hugged and kissed his family as a token of good luck and a promise to come back alive. Boarding his starfighter, Jay looked at his family for what might be the last time. Raising his hand, telling them goodbye, to which they return the same thing, Jay took out and flew to Onderon.
When Jay arrived on Onderon, He traced for the signal from the message which was found in the old city. When the Galactic Civil War started, after overthrowing their Imperial Rulers, the Citizens of Onderon left their city and started a new one, free from Imperial rule. After the war, the Citizens began to preserve the old city as a tourist site. Halfway through, they were attacked by the 8th Legion, led by Darth Fury. Landing his ship on the outskirts, hidden from view, he began to make his way to the old city, where he was horrified to see see horrid corpses and destroyed buildings. As Jay heads through the scorched, burnt out city, he is startled by the sudden appearance of Fury, who ignites her lightsaber. Knowing he can't escape destiny, Jay draws his lightsaber, ignite it and stood his ground. Upon seeing Fury, Jay asks "What have you become?" Fury, stepping towards Jay said "I am what you made me.". Then, the two engage in a lightsaber duel. Their duel took them to the old city, where they fought through alleyways and destroyed buildings. Coming to an old city square, Jay attempts to collapse an old monument on Fury. Fury countered and held the stopped the collapsing monument with the Force. She turned to Jay and said "I see your strength hasn't left you." But, it wasn't the only she sense. Fury sensed her old master's weakness. Taunting Jay, she hurled the monument back at Jay before the two cross blades. They continued their fight, which took them to a canyon. It was there that Fury used the canyon to his advantage. Despite Jay's efforts to counter, Fury overpowered Jay and disarmed him, having Jay at her mercy. Fury, at first, wanted to cut Jay up and burn him the same way back on Sullust. But, she chose not to. Instead, she stabs Jay through the torso and he falls to his knees. Then, she pushed the wounded Jay into an area inside the canyon. Lastly, she began to bury her former master under the rocks, leaving him to die. Believing herself victorious, Fury taunts him by saying "Do you really thinking that you can defeat me? You are sadly mistaken. You have failed in life and you will die a failure. Rest in peace, master.". She finished as she deactivating her saber and walked away, knowing Jay is as good as dead. Inside the rumble, minutes Fury left, Jay struggled to get free, despite his injury. His cybernetic arm was damaged and broken while Fury was hurling rocks at Jay while he was being buried. Then, with one hand free, he began to heal his injury. Starting to pass out from his wound, when he began to heal, he heard the sounds of voices coming from the outside the rumble and the sound of the sound of rocks being moves. Seeing the sunlight of Onderon, Jay saw New Republic Soldiers and mercenaries of Boba Fett. One soldier, upon seeing Lyon and his wound, called for a medic as Jay went completely limp. A New Republic Medic rushed over and, seeing the Jedi's wound, told his comrades he needs medical treatment. Giving Jay preliminary treatment, he called for a medical capsule. Coming up, with a medical capsule, were Fennec Shand, Captain Kalifla Zerkim & Lieutenant Depa Barrwinn. The troops placed Jay on the capsule and make their way to their ship for treatment. Esmeralda told Depa to contact the New Republic on what happened, which she did. Once on board, Jay wakes up to find himself in a starship flown by Lieutenant Barrwinn. Captain Zerkim was tending to his injuries' with two Clone guards stood by his bed. Closing his eyes, the ship he was one went into lightspeed, on a course to Tatooine.
