Cut to the Kyber Crystal Mines. An epic shot of Zekko's star destroyer looming over the mine with a flashing rain storm overhead. Zekko is down on the mine. The troopers are loading up mined crystals. The miners are forced to aid the troopers.

"Ravok will be happy with our achievements. Prepare the shipment for departure to Eraxo. Load the crystals onto my destroyer." Zekko commands.

The trooper nods. "Yes my lord." And continues working.

Zekko's hologram is beeping. He opens it. "What is it General Riox?"

Riox replies, "Resilience ships spotted in the atmosphere. What are your orders?"

Zekko yells, "Order all forces to come to the mines. Take the miners to the holding cells. This is where the Resilience dies."

Riox addresses Zekko, "It will be done."

All Elitist ships make their way to the mine. Troopers depart the Bontal point, other parts of SCORA, and head to the mountains.

Cut to Kellus' ground assault shuttle. He looks out the cockpit window. "Zekko has pulled all his forces to the mines. They know we are here."

The air team starts an attack on the Elitist ships and Zekko's destroyer.

Riox is in the bridge. "Deploy all fighters. The resilience will be destroyed."

The ground team zooms under the radar of the ships while Sarodhi leads a team to distract the Sith.

"We've got company! Get ready!" Sarodhi yells to the squadron.

Resilience fighters get into position and ready fire on the oncoming Elitist fighters. An aerial fight ensues. Kellus' ship breaks off and descends toward the surface. It lands in the mine hangar. Kellus, Jeb and a group of troopers ready their weapons. A trooper gives Jeb a blaster.

"Thanks." Jeb says.

The ramp to the ship descends. No one is there. Jeb points his blaster in front of him, cautious.

They exit the hangar and see the vast mine. The shaft running down. Up above, the dogfight of ships. The popping of fighters as they battle in Scora airspace. The group of our heroes make their way to a bridge that crosses over the mine. The rain starts. Lightning hits the surface. Across the bridge, Darth Zekko and a squad of Elitist troops.

"Stay here. I'll handle this." Kellus tells his squad, and Jeb.

Zekko walks toward Kellus. Kellus looks down below him and sees a Kyber abyss below. Multiple bridges and platforms connect each side of the cylindrical mine.

"Back from the dead Master Kellus? I killed you once. Now this time I make sure you die. You, your friends, all of it." Zekko says as he readies his lightsaber. His dark cape flying in the wind.

"That won't happen. You have lost. Tell your Emperor his plan has failed. Today is the day of the Resilience." Kellus also readies his lightsaber.

Zekko ignites his. "No. NEVER!" Zekko charges at Kellus and they duel.

Music plays. Jeb is concerned for his new master. Kellus is showing amazing lightsaber skills. Combating the evil that is Zekko.

Kellus and Zekko jump down to the next level. Jeb looks down at him, but then continues to shoot the Elitist troopers on the bridge.

"OPEN FIRE!" A Resilience trooper yells out.

Jeb starts shooting. He ducks behind a crate and closes his eyes, "The force is with me."
