The Knights of Ren succeeded on boarding the Alpha Dreadnaught, but not without a fight. Storm Troopers were on their tail as the Knights and BB-8 ran through the corridors. "So much for the element of surprise," said Maddox.

"They seemed pretty surprised," Kuruk observed, as he fired his blaster.

They were protecting BB-8 as he linked into the system. "Bleep bleeep..." he said.

"What did he say?" Kuruk asked.

"The tracker is on the third level," Maddox answered.

"Bleeep! Bleep bleep!"

"There's no time," Maddox argued.

"What's does he mean?"

"The detention level is filled with prisoners. Traitors and defectors. Draven's spies."

"We could split up and make it work," Kuruk insisted. "It would draw attention away from our main mission. Plus. Some of those prisoners might have useful intel."

"Alright, take this," Maddox said, handing a communicator to Kuruk. "Cardo, the droid and I will make for the tracker. The rest of you save the prisoners. Signal us when you make it to the hangar. That's when we'll override the tracker and detonate."

"Bleep bleep." BB-8 cheered.

"The detention level is below us," Maddox interpreted. "Go now."

And the Knights of Ren had went their separate ways. Those rescuing the prisoners attracted more Storm Troopers, but many met their end as the Knights of Ren were quick and precise with every attack. No Storm Trooper stood a chance. While they drew the attention away, Maddox, Cardo and BB-8 managed to find the corridor that had the tracker.

"Bleep. Bleep." BB-8 rolled toward a blast door.

"Good job little droid," said Maddox, as he went to the console on the wall and propped it open. "Keep an eye out. This won't take long." Maddox wasn't anything like Kylo Ren or Draven, both whom were astounding warriors while Maddox favoured wires and codes, which is why Kylo had chosen him as one of his knights.

"They're coming this way," said Cardo.

"I almost got it."

"Bleep Beep." BB-8 sounded worried.

The blast doors opened and the trio quickly entered the room and closed the doors just in time as Storm Troopers marched by.

"That's a really big tracker," said Cardo, as he walked toward it. "It almost looks like a power core."

"Now for the hardest part," Maddox sighed as he went to the manual console. "I'll have to override the Alpha Dreadnaught's main controls first. The bridge technicians will definitely pick it up."

"How long until you convert its modules?"

"Long enough, I hope."
