Umbara
"We near the dark presence we have been feeling..."Baz says as he, Rune, Croz, 4 other young Jedi and 7 other soldiers make their way through the Umbaran jungle.
"I feel it." Rune says as he gripped his lightsabers tightly.
"You've been here before, Yes?" Baz asks Rune.
"I...y...yes...yes I have." Rune tells him.
"During the Clone War?" Baz asks.
"Yes sir." Rune says.
"Why?" Baz asks.
"I was assigned to a team with a Jedi master during the clone war...we were to capture a sith holocron here. Before that, Wesley and I came here trying to set up a communications array during the Battle of Umbara for better communications with all the teams but we found it wasn't abandoned. Last time we were here...the temple collapsed on itself...there's nothing here anymore....well...there shouldn't be..." Rune says.
"Wait...are you saying...that the collapsed academy....could've resurrected itself?" A Jedi asks.
"I...I don't know..." Rune says.
"Is that even possible, Master Baz?" Another Jedi asks.
"I don't know young one." Baz says.
"Uhh sir..." a soldier says as he stops dead in his tracks.
"What is it?" Baz asks and walks over.
He stops and stares ahead at the wall of the sith academy.
"No way." Rune says as he steps into view of the academy.
"Shall we?" A Jedi asks.
"Be careful." Rune warns them as he grabs his lightsabers off his belt and makes his way up toward the wall.
He looks at it and runs his hand across the ancient text and the hole in the wall for the sith holocron to be inserted.
"Whats this?" A soldier asks holding up a glowing red pyramid shaped object.
"Give me that!" Rune yells and snatches it from his hand.
"What is it?" He asks.
"A sith holocron....it opens the door to the academy..." Rune says.
"Rune..." Baz says and places his hand on Rune's shoulder.
"I know." Rune says.
"You know what we have to do." Baz says.
"Yes. We have to destroy it." Rune says.
"How?" A Padawan asks.
"Any way possible." Rune tells them.
Meanwhile, at the airbase, Bat walked around the control tower looking over the shoulders of the staff walking around as the door opens up behind him and Fernanda walks out of the elevator accompanied by Chip.
"Bat." She says.
"Not now." Bat says.
"Bat!" She yells.
"What?" Bat asks and turns around.
She had a deeply concerned look on her face.
"What is it?" He asks and walks over to her.
"It's Scout and Rocky." Chip says.
"What? What happened?" Bat asks.
"They....they ran off." Fernanda says sniffling.
