Previously on the Alternate universe "I'm sorry about that. We thought you were intruders. I'm Riya, this is Mart, and the two eavesdroppers are Kacie and Greion." I told them  the twins climbed down and stood between us. Mart straightened up and clapped his hands behind his back, imitating his uncle Jun. "Welcome to the Ghost."

"So you guys are the entire Iron squadron?" The Mandolrain, whose name was revealed to be Sabine, asked. Mart nodded, "Well what's left anyway." He sighed. Riya put her hand on his shoulder, he put his hand on hers. "We heard what happened to them. I'm very sorry." Hera said with a gentle tone. "We've been trying to escape the empire for a while now, but being on the most wanted list, it's not exactly easy. We just left Alderaan and we're just trying to get back up. We have before and we will again" Riya explained. She was glaring at Nick again, "Okay red will you quit staring at me? It's creepy!" She said snapping the boy from his thoughts. She walked away to fix the engines. Nick followed. "Hey." He said. Riya looked over her shoulder and smiled. "Hey yourself red." She stood on a chair fixing something in the ceiling. Her sleeveless vest was clearly showing off her metallic arm. "So how'd you lose your arm? You don't seem like you're old enough to be a soldier." She shook her head. "I never had it in the first place, anything past my shoulder never formed so I use a prosthetic." She explained. "It's not something that I'm ashamed of because I don't know what it's like to be different. This is my normal." She ranted. Nick passed her a tool. "So you grew up on Alderaan right? So for you the trip back is like returning home." He then noticed her change in expression. "Alderaan didn't feel like home for a long time. Because of the empire and what happened." She stated. "What did happen if you don't mind me asking?" Nick responded. When Riya didn't answer he started walking away. "It was at the start , the start of the empire, our parents the original iron squadron were trying to push back and were winning, until they showed up with an ion cannon. Those things render anything electronic useless, The twins, Mart and I were along for the ride, we had occasionally helped with the cause. The canon hit us, and we went into a nose dive. The adults turned to us and i will never forget my mom's last words. She said "We love you so much, and we need you to be our strong, determined girl, watch over Greion for us okay? We love you and your brother so much, keep hoping things will get better." Then we crashed, we were the only ones who pulled through." She said finally breaking, her face becoming wet with tears. "I'm so sorry." He said softly touching her flesh hand. "Do you know how painful it is to see loved ones go off not even getting to say goodbye?" Nick shook his head. "So much it hurts, and I mean physically hurts." Nick looked at the girl with a new view. "Mart and I we made a promise. A promise that we intend to keep. We need to make the world a better place, a safer place. And to do that we needed to get the empire out."
