The rebel gunships landed outside the city on a massive hanger, and about two teams of armor-clad warriors came out to meet the platoon of troops, and Rex jumped out of the gunship along with Hero to meet them.

Rex: "Greetings, I am General Rex and this Captain Syndulla of Phoenix Squadron."

Bo-Katan Kryze: "I am Bo-Katan Kryze, and I am the leader of this small Resistance."

Hera: "Thank you for standing up to Empire, but where are the rest of your men?"

Bo: "The rest of my men were cut down by that Sith scum, and his Stormtroopers."

Ashoka: "Bo, don't worry, we will take of this Inquisitor."

Bo: "Same thing Obi-Wan said!"

Ashoka sighed at the 30-year-old female, but Obi-Wan told her that she could be trusted and that she is a great warrior, but she was starting to worry about the trust; however, she knew that she was the important part in this battle. Ezra, Kanan, and Ashoka were supplied with advanced versions of the jetpacks while all regular troops were supplied with standard jump packs. The gunships started to head back to Rebel One.

Bo: "Let's move out!"

Everyone activated their jetpacks, and they started to take off inside the city; however, four sniper shots sent three troopers into the ground and caused a mini-explosion that set off a fire.

Kanan: "IMPERIAL JUMPTROOPERS!"

Everyone landed near an old warehouse, and they all took cover taking shots back at the flying Stormtroopers. Every time Ezra or Kanan threw a crate at them they would dodge and fire back. Zeb was sniping from the top of the warehouse as Dorran covered him, and she shot one in the left knee plate while Zeb shot one in the head. Ezra fired off a stun blast at a jumptrooper that hit him. It caused his jetpack to short out, and he smashed against the wall.

Ezra: "Kanan, what are we going to do?!"

More ground-based Stormtroopers arrived, and started engaging Ezra and Kanan on the ground while the rest of the Rebel troops were dealing with the jumptroopers. Bo-Katan jumped out from behind a wall and smacked a stormtrooper into the ground with a kick in the back. He then blocked a punch from one and tossed him into another one.

Ashoka: "Kanan!"

Kanan was punched in the face by a jumptrooper who had landed and took out the two rebel troops next to Kanan. Kanan was sent onto the ground, but Ashoka stabbed him through the chest and tossed him over a railing into the streets below. Ezra jumped out of the way of a thermal detonator and then fired off a stun shot at another ground Stormtrooper. It took him out.

Ashoka: "Bo, we could use some backup!"

Bo order her men to launch their rockets at the jumptroopers and take them out, but some of them dodged. Most of them were hit by the rockets when they exploded.

Ashoka force pushed a Stormtrooper into the side of the warehouse, and Ezra force pushed one off the railing. Kanan knocked off the railing, and Rex took down two other Stormtroopers who had arrived as reinforcements. A Stormtrooper ran up the steps of the palace and came to meet with Solari to tell him of the rebel invasion force.

Stormtrooper captain: "Sir, our forces are under heavy attack by Rebels and are requesting assistance!"

Solari: "Captain, send out an AT-AT, and two AT-ST's to escort it!"

Stormtrooper captain: "Yes, sir!"

Ashoka watched as a huge explosion erupted in front of the warehouse and gasped as two AT-ST came out from behind the smoke. She jumped out of the way of another blast and watched as four rebel troops started firing on it, but they were also blown up. Dorran pressed a button on her commlink and ordered Sabine to send down help to take out the AT-ST's. The Y-wings came swooping in and launched a bombing run on the AT-ST's, but when they got ready to pull up two of them, were taken down by heavy fire from the AT-AT.

Rex: "All men prepare to engage the AT-AT directly, and head underneath, and take out the neck!"

Ezra: "I have a bad feeling about this!"

Ezra and Kanan took up position next to Dorran, Zeb, and Rex, but with the heavy fire from the AT-AT forcing the rebels to split up and take cover behind buildings they were forced to watch as the unlucky ones were either thrown into the air or blown to bits on impact. Ashoka watched as the remaining Y-wing tried to get a lock on the AT-AT's neck to take it out.

Ezra: "Kanan, you and Ashoka throw me on top of the AT-AT!"

Kanan: "NO!"

Ezra: "Kanan, just trust me on this!"

Kanan sighed and knew it was the best plan so that the Rebels could win the battle. Ashoka dodged laser fire from the AT-AT and ducked for cover where Ezra and Kanan were located. Ashoka and Kanan used the force to toss Ezra on top of the AT-AT, and he started to cut a hole in the armor with his lightsaber.

Porkins: "Ezra, I'm coming in fast!"

Ezra jumped off the top of the AT-AT, and watched as the M-wing's bombs collided with the inside of the AT-AT. The explosion crushed many Stormtroopers, and the rebels took cover behind the remains. Solari sighed and called in the Stormtrooper commander who was stationed outside the palace.

Stormtrooper commander: "Sir, you requested me?'

Solari: "Yes, Commander I want you to send out the Novatroopers and another squadron of Stormtroopers!"

Stormtrooper commander: "YES, SIR!"

Ezra watched as the Rebels secured another warehouse, and Kanan was having a blaster wound treated on his leg. Ashoka was looking over a group of Mandalorian's who were injured in battle, but they didn't have time to rest as Rex ran in and told them about the bad news of another batch of Stormtroopers coming in with a squadron of Novatroopers.

Ashoka: "Non-injured men prepare for battle!"

Ashoka, Kanan, and Ezra all walked out of the main warehouse and watched as Stormtroopers and novatroopers prepared for another firefight. Rebel troopers set up crates and some even took up behind the downed AT-ST's. The AT-AT was providing cover for Rex's team. Blaster fire was spread across the small battlefield, and Ezra, Kanan, and Ashoka were all taking the lead as they all blocked blaster fire back at Novatroopers. One jumped at Ezra and started to punch him, but Ezra, using the force, slashed his arm at the joint causing him to scream out in pain. Ezra force-pushed the Novatrooper off him.

Ashoka: "Wow Ezra, you're getting better at non-beast related force powers!"

Ezra: "Thank you!"

Ezra dodged a blaster bolt and blocked another one back at a stormtrooper. It hit him in the chest as Rex ran up to two, punching one in the chest. Zeb snapped one's neck by coming up behind him, but more Stormtroopers arrived and started to set up heavy blasters. Another AT-ST shot down one of the warehouses, but only a few rebel troops were inside.

Zeb: "Rex, let's capture that AT-ST!"

Rex: "Got it!"

Zeb and Rex ran towards the AT-ST and started dodging fire from the now alert Stormtroopers inside the AT-ST. Zeb, being athletic, jumped onto the AT-STand helped Rex up on top. They both opened the hatch and jumped in throwing the Stormtroopers out onto the ground. Rex took the guns and Zeb was on the lookout as Rex started firing at the Stormtroopers,taking out many of them. Ezra and Dorran regrouped and were now behind cover together.

Ezra: "Dorran, cover me!"

Dorran: "Sure thing!"

Ezra flipped out from over the crate and started firing off stun shots at the Stormtroopers. Dorran would take out any Ezra left behind, and she threw a thermal detonator into a batch of Stormtroopers taking out almost half of them. Ashoka force-pushed any remaining ones into Rex's line of fire. Ashoka force- pushed two stormtroopers off a railing, and Kanan slashed one across the chest.

Bo-Katan: "Alright, we have captured the city, and I think we are ready to move into the palace."

Ashoka: "Alright Rex, and Zeb, some of our troops have already captured the courtyard and are waiting for backup. Kanan and Ezra, you will come with me, so we can engage the Inquisitor at the end of the palace. If needed, the Gold Squadron will bomb it as a last resort."

Bo-Katan: "Also, my team will be capturing any Stormtroopers and AT-ST's that remain."

Everyone got into their groups, and Dorran wished Ezra luck. The three Jedi and troops ran into the palace. Ashoka, Kanan, and Ezra all watched as the massive doors of the palace split apart and out stepped a figure in all black armor with two lightsabers in both hands.

Solari: "Ah yes, my guest!"

Ezra: "We are not your quest, and besides, the palace is not all the amazing either!"

Solari: "That's where you are wrong young Jedi!"

Ezra: "And how would I be wrong?"

Solari: "THIS IS WHERE YOU DIE!"

Solari jumped up at Ezra and kicked his square in the chest, causing him to fall on his back. He spun around Kanan, but Kanan slashed at him. He blocked force-pushing Kanan into one of the glass windows, but Ezra got up and force -pushed Solari away from Kanan before he could stab him in the chest with his secondary blade. Ashoka heard more Stormtroopers yelling for backup and reinforcements, but she had to focus on the here and now. Solari force- pushed Ezra onto the throne and then used the force to topple it over, causing Ezra to fall.

Ashoka: "Kanan, get Ezra!"

Kanan: "Got it!"

Ashoka and Solari locked blades together and then Ashoka slashed her head, but Solari pivoted and kicked Ashoka in the leg. Solari slashed her left arm,causing her to drop her lightsaber, but Kanan and Ezra stabbed him in the ribs. He dropped onto the ground, but as he got up, Ezra noticed that he had something in his hand.

Solari: "Bye, Bye!"

Solari smashed a smoke grenade on the ground, and the smoke filled the entire room. He then force- pushed out a glass pane and jumped into a TIE Advanced v1 below and took off. Kanan ordered Gold Squadron to take him out, but he shot down three pilots before disabling two of the pilots. Sabine told Phoenix Squadron to engage, but he dodged all the laser fire and jumped to hyperspace.
