The Yautja drops the Death Trooper's body onto the ground and turns toward four Imperial Sentry droids that were stomping down the hall toward him.

"Blast it! I told the Admiral he was making a mistake." Derik says to himself as he was running through the halls.

He meets up with TK-8751, Dim, and Marik who were running to intercept the Yautja hunter.

"He's on detention level E! He's fighting with the sentry droids right now." TK-8751 tells them.

"It's already killed so many troops. Special forces too. Death Troopers, Shadow Troopers, EVO Troopers, what good will we be against it?" Dim asks.

"Cut the chatter." Derik tells him.

"We've lost visual!" A trooper yells.

"Stay on alert!" Another trooper yells as they were sweeping the cell block hallways.

"It's a negative over here." A trooper tells the squad leader.

"Same here." Another says before he turns.

"TK-492, what do you have on your side?" The squad's captain asks into his communicator.

"It's a neg-AGHHHH!" The trooper screams before his comms go silent

"TK-492? TK-492 do you copy?" The captain asks.

He turns and looks back at his squad.

"We lost contact with the squad nearest the main hangar. Let's move to intercept!" The captain orders his squad and they take off down the hall.

"This is TK-769, we're headed to the main hangar to intercept! Lockdown the hangar and all fighters!" The captain yells.

Derik stops in his tracks and turns toward Marik and TK-8751.

"You heard him, let's go!" Derik yells and they quickly turn around and start sprinting toward the hangar.

Inside the hangar, pilots and crew members were running frantically out of the hangar as troopers were running in and taking positions and aiming at the door. Shadow troopers armed with heavy T-21 rifles and Shock Troopers armed with DLT-19s were scattered around the hangar and aimed at the door with the rest of the troops. They could hear screaming from outside in the hallway and watch as the door receives a large dent.

"Steady. Steady." A stormtrooper Commander with blue markings orders as the troopers were starting to chatter and get restless.

The door dents again and they keep watching and waiting. The door explodes from a blue blast from a plasma ball and the debris flies into the hangar. The troopers watch as a stormtrooper with bloody and cracked armor stumbles in before dropping to his knees and onto the ground.

"Hold. Hold." The Commander orders as he takes aim and waits.

They couldn't see anything.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!" A stormtrooper screams and runs toward the door while firing randomly.

He's stopped dead in his tracks as he's impaled by something. He looks down at his stomach to see his blood staining some sort of pike before he looks up to see the Yautja blink in and fade out of sight before he grunts as the pike is ripped out of him and he drops to the ground.

"Open fire!" The Commander screams and they open fire on the position where they'd just seen the Yautja standing.

It wasn't long before troopers starting screaming from being ripped apart by an unseen entity jumping around the hangar. The Commander turns to see the two Navy Commandos behind him get beheaded by a disc and drop to the ground. He looks over and watches An EVO trooper and Shadow Trooper get impaled by the same pike before toppling over. Another stormtrooper is impaled by two blades through the chest an lifted into the air before two more are shot down by a blue blast of plasma.
