INT - REPUBLIC FIGHTER - NIGHT

The PILOT flies around the radio station as it burns to the ground, General Dameron is inside the cockpit looking at the scanners

DANE

Anything?

PILOT

Nothing sir, I would advise we leave soon the lava is reaching dangerous levels and we've already picked up all the insurgents

The General sighs and paths the pilot on the shoulder

DANE

Very well, fall back

PILOT

Wait, there's a life sign north of the station, looks like he's holding a Lightsaber

DANE

Go

The fighter moves towards the life sign and they see Rhys swinging his Lightsaber with a figure beside him

EXT - MUSTAFAR PLAINS - NIGHT

The fighter lands and the ramp opens up, General Dane along with his soldiers exits the fighter,

The soldiers secure Weylan and Rhys runs inside with them but the General stops him

DANE

Where's Kyra?

Rhys shakes his head and the General lets him in, he follows him inside and the ship flies back into space

INT - PERCIVAL - DAY/NIGHT

Rhys is inside with a cup of water in his hand and a blanket around him, the General walks in

DANE

You did well Rhys, thwarted a genocide and captured the leader, or what was left of him

RHYS

Thank you sir

DANE

Pity about Kyra, had she not disobeyed orders she would be here

RHYS

She was sorry for missing the drinks you promised and hoped your meeting with the king went well

DANE

Fortunately, that bounty hunter stopped us before we even landed not bad for a Mandolorian

RHYS

She was a good friend sir

DANE

Was she now?

The two look at each other in silence however Rhys breaks it with a cough

RHYS

Sorry General, but I must contact the Jedi council

DANE

They are already waiting for you, after I submitted my report they immediately called, I will leave you to it while I make sense of the rambling mess down below

Dane leaves the room however he stops midway and turns back to Rhys

DANE

Look them in the eyes when you tell your lies

Rhys looks at Dane who walks off smiling

INT - PERCIVAL COMM ROOM - DAY/NIGHT

The room begins to darken and the table in the centre lights up as Haru Bolin and Haloran appear in the centre

HARU

Well?

Rhys holds out Cale's ID tags and drops it on the table

RHYS

It's done, master

HARU

And the body?

RHYS

Destroyed

HARU

You should have brought it back to us if you had any idea

HALORAN

Calm Haru, Rhys has held up his end surely

Haru looks at Rhys and takes a breath

HARU

Very well, however, I will require a detailed report of the events before we move forward and once that is done...Rhys Al Khar will be inducted to the Jedi Order

RHYS

Thank you master

HALORAN

Your father would be proud Rhys, and as soon as you are ready we shall begin your training

HARU

Rest well padawan, you will need it

The Jedi turn away however Rhys does not

RHYS

Master Bolin?

Haru turns back to Rhys

RHYS

You said you would tell me about Cale, will you still hold up your end?

Haru looks at Rhys with a scowl on his face

HARU

Very well, I guess you deserve to know that much

The transmission ends and Rhys looks down at his Greatsaber and grips it tightly

INT - REN FIGHTER SHIP COCKPIT - DAY/NIGHT

Kyra is sitting in the cockpit while the ship is travelling at warp speed she looks beside her at Weylans Lightsaber on the seat

She takes the Lightsaber, presses some buttons on the console and heads to the main body of the ship

!INT - REN FIGHTER - DAY/NIGHT

She moves to a bunk where Cale is fast asleep, she pulls the blanket over him and smiles at the boy

Kyra moves to the middle of the room and presses the switch causing a black light to emanate, she grips it in both hands and takes a stance
