Once the ship reached the Devastator, Darth Aolroth led Seras and Shadow Squadron into the bridge.
Seras: You okay?
The Sith remained silence for a moment until he chose to answer.
Darth Aolroth: Yes.
When they reached the bridge, they saw Commander Quinn and Darth Jahl waiting for them. Darth Aolroth walked to his master and bowed.
Darth Aolroth: Master.
Darth Jahl turned to his apprentice and gestured him to rise. Darth Aolroth then took the Holocon out of his pocket and presented it to his master.
Darth Jahl: Beautiful! With this, the Jedi shall surely fall!
Suddenly, an Imperial ensign grabbed Commander Quinn's attention.
Imperial Ensign: Commander Quinn! Something's coming out of Hyperspace!
But before anyone can react, a Republic Star Cruiser came out of Hyperspace and started open firing on the Devastator.
Quinn: All guns open fire!
Soon the Devastator and the Republic Cruiser began to fire upon one another.
Imperial Soldier: Sir! We're getting a transmission from the enemy ship!
Quinn: Patch it through!
The soldier obeyed his order and patched the transmission through the Holoterminal in the bridge. The holoprojection of Argos Karr soon appeared.
Darth Jahl: Argos Karr.
Karr: Darth Jahl. It appears we meet again.
Darth Jahl: What is the meaning of this attack Jedi?
Karr: I cannot allow the Holocron to fall into your hands. Even if I must destroy it with you.
Darth Jahl let out a menacing laugh.
Darth Jahl: You do this to cover up your own failure Karr? Pathetic! You have sealed your fate Jedi!
Karr: We shall see.
The Jedi master said as he cut off the transmission. The situation soon became dire for the Imperial Devastator, but Darth Jahl remained unfazed.
Darth Jahl: Apprentice, I believe it's time to finally end Argos Karr.
Darth Aolroth: What must I do?
Darth Jahl: Take your ship and go into that Republic Cruiser. Find Argos Karr and kill him. Take Shadow Squadron with you and end this!
Darth Aolroth: It shall be done my master.
Darth Aolroth: Let us go Sgt.
Pierce: Lead the way sir.
As Sgt Pierce said that, he led Shadow Squadron on Darth Aolroth's lead. Seras follows them to the ship. Once the ship was ready to launch, they left to navigate the battle and head into the Republic Cruiser. Once the ship reached the Republic Cruiser, Darth Aolroth spoke to the others.
Darth Aolroth: Sgt Pierce, you're with me. Leave some of your men here to guard the ship. I don't want the Republic destroying this ship.
Pierce: Yes sir! Men! You heard the Sith! Ready your weapons! We're going straight into enemy territory! Shihen! You're in charge of protecting the ship until we come back! These men will help! Am I clear Shadow Squadron?
Shadow Squadron: YES SIR!
Darth Aolroth then turns to Seras.
Darth Aolroth: You will remain here.
