Synopsis[edit | edit source]
The four students discover that their teacher is dead, shot by Jacob Everrunner on behalf of the remnants of Imperial government. The ISB agent claims that their teacher was a spy and that if the students come out they will not be harmed. Not willing to take that chance, Ishilu forces the door closed again, and the four flee into the temple, despite Mal's suggestion to at least hear the agent out. As the Imperials try to bust down the door, the students find their way up to the top of the temple. As the girls discuss strategy, Mal takes action, leaping down the side of the temple with the assistance of some vines. While Mal watches the Imperials, Ishilu constructs a device with the help of the vines to let the other three rappel downward. With assistance from Lexi's newly found force abilities, the four make a mad dash to their ship, which to their surprise is already warmed up to go.
On the ship, they discover the pilot droid to be sentient, and a friend of their professor's, who was in fact, a spy. They lift off with the droid's help and, once Mal finds the hidden weapons, engage in a short dogfight with the imperial forces as It'klah works for them to make the jump to hyperspace. Lexi whips up something special for Ishilu who takes out a number of tie fighters in a manic frenzy. After making the leap to hyperspace they find themselves on a nameless forest moon.
On the forest moon, Ishilu goes to remove the tracking bolt that the Imperials hit them with, taking Mal with her for protection. This is fortunate, when the device unloads a small number of attack droids that they're forced to destroy.
