Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Shadows and Light. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I Don't own anything; Lucas Arts and Disney do.

(Super Star Destroyer Desolation, 3 BBY)

Khyr climbed into his TIE Advanced X1 and floored it out of the hanger.

"Sir, this is madness… If the Togruta is still alive…." He heard and sighed.

"Admiral, if you would like to leave… Do it, I am not leaving slaves for the Hutts and prisoners for Vader… You were present for some of Vader's… 'Interrogations'…" He said and gunned the engine before he toggled the communication system.

"Commander… Fang? Fang, try to keep the Hutt soldiers off yourselves and secure a place to get out of here… If worse comes to worse, steal a Hutt ship and book it… We're not leaving anyone behind, this invasion has failed…" He said and began to reach into the force.

He angled towards the fleet, he felt dozens of V-Wings angling towards him.

He began his own variation of the mantra he had heard so many times.

"Peace is an illusion, there is only passion… Through passion, I gain strength." He stated while he thumbed the canons on his TIE Advanced.

He watched a V-wing explode into scrap before he continued towards the surface of Nal Hutta.

"Through strength, I archive victory." He said before spinning around a V-wing which crashed into a Vulture Droid, destroying both and sending both falling to the planet.

"Through strength, I grasp victory…" He hissed before he thumbed the canons again and cut a Y-Wing in half.

"And through victory, I shatter my chains…" He said while his fighter cut through the atmosphere and into the sky of Nal Hutta.

"The force shall set me free…" He said and gunned the engine towards Ahsoka's force signature.

"Fang, I will get Ahsoka… Leave, Vader is coming and he will murder everyone has to if it means getting us… You will not stop him." He ordered.

He had no illusions that he was superior to Vader. He had been trained by the man to be a weapon.

(With Ahsoka)

Ahsoka sensed more Hutt soldiers settle in around her before a Hutt M22-T Krayt Gunship settled over her.

Ahsoka deactivated her lightsabers and sighed, she raised her hands over her head.

That was before the roar of a TIE Fighter split the air and a stream of laser fire slammed into the gunship. It swung to the side and crashed into a tree which sent it slamming into the swamp.

"Hand over the Togruta and I will allow you to sulk back to your masters." Khyr ordered before he went into a sharp turn and gunned the canons.

Ahsoka watched trees explode and water burst while the blasts destroyed everything in their path.

Ahsoka leapt out of the way before the TIE Advanced slowly slowed down while Khyr looked at Ahsoka through the window.

"Vader is coming… We cannot face him and I'm not leaving without you… Get aboard." Khyr said before a blast shook the fighter.

Khyr growled and watched a V-Wing roar past him before he punched the engines again.

"Never mind, find a shuttle and meet up with my men in orbit… We're retreating… I'll keep the Hutts off you…" Khyr stated, he took off with more Hutt Fighters hunting after him.

Ahsoka turned to get back to her shuttle before she was overrun.

(With Khyr)

Khyr continued to evade the Hutt fighters while he cut the engines and let the V-Wings fly past him before he opened fire and watched one spin into a tree.

He hummed while he sighed and then he put in the engine while he rushed back towards Ahsoka.

"Fang, you better be getting out of here and heading back to space… We don't have time to mess around with things on the planet…" He stated before he angled low and slowly started to peel off towards the swamps.

He couldn't try to fly into the sky and leave the others alone. He could sense the departure of the Desolation.

He sighed and prepared to spin around to strafe the Hutts again, he couldn't allow them to attack his friends.

He wouldn't allow them to try, he wouldn't let them come close to even trying it.

"Commander?" He asked before he dodged a burst of canon fire that would have knocked the shields out of his craft if he didn't angle around it.

He sighed and continued to zoom around the swamps while preparing the missiles on his fighter, making sure that it was ready for combat when he needed them.

He hummed while he watched another fighter join the battle. He growled and scanned the ground for Ahsoka again.

"You better not be dead, Tano… I'm not doing this for myself… Or just myself, I should mean." Khyr muttered while he prepared to engage the Hutts again.

He hummed while he gunned the canons and strafed the Hutt soldiers on the ground.

They had chosen death… And he would deliver them it.

Author Note

Phew, another chapter done! I do apologize for the wait… I will point out nothing from Rise of Skywalker is in the movie… Next chapter will be on Saturday or so next week and will show Khyr, Ahsoka and Fang escaping Nal Hutta. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!

Ps: I am planning on making a First Order story on Sunday maybe.
