As they wait for the Holocron start, the girls began to talk to one another while Accelerator simply sat by himself as he a lot to think.
"So, what do you think the Interlude meant?" Saten asks her friends.
"Not sure." Misaka shrugged. "All we know is that Vader was once a good man but ended becoming what he is now."
"Yeah… and somehow, this connects with Anakin and Padme." Kuroko adds.
"But what about Theron? How does he fit in all this?" The Level 0 asks.
"Misaka doubts any of us know." Worst shakes her head as she shrugs. "After all, we don't even know much about him at all or how he even met Vader."
"Maybe the next episode will finally give us some answers! Misaka states, as Misaka is convinced that our questions will be answered soon."
"Oi!" The Number shouts, gaining the girls' attention. "It's starting."
The Dean points at the Holocron, signaling that it is ready. The girls went back to their seats as they start watching the next chapter.
Act 2: Chapter 1 - Aftermath (Part 1)
July 29, 2023 (Earth Calendar)
Academy City
School District 7
"We're on the second act of the story," Saten said with a tone of excitement.
"It's only been one day since the Empire attacked. I wonder how this will affect Academy City." Uiharu wonders.
"I'm starting to regret telling them." Theron sighs loudly as he walks down the wet city streets.
"Too bad, we're in the fight whenever you like it or not," Misaka smirks.
"I warned you, meatbag." R4 beeps. "Telling them more about the Empire was a bad idea. How are we going to get back to our ship that's miles away outside the city since Yomikawa has recently forged an official Earth ID after learning we weaseled our way inside the most secured city on the planet?"
"Yomikawa did?" Kuroko slightly surprised ut with a smile. "That's nice of her."
"Calm down, R4. We have a speeder bike and the Force. Besides, it's not like all of Academy City knows."
"Touche." The droid grumbles.
"Still, I'm afraid we have little choice. I'm not sure if I fully trust our new friends. They've never had experience in venturing out in the galaxy."
"Hey! We may not know much about you yet, but we'll never backstab you or anything." Saten shouts being a bit offended that Theron would think that.
"The guy has the right to cautious about us." Accelerator cuts in gaining a look from everyone. "He's in a different world with people who don't know anything that's outside of the planet. Anyone finding out about this could lead to a lot of trouble."
Misaka understands the logic and slowly nods. "Right… if the wrong people learn this, who knows what could happen."
"But he's our other's friend! They'll never betray him." The Level 0 said.
"I'm sure our others will get through to him, Saten." The Level 1 says to her friend as she calms down.
"Uh, which galaxy?"
"The Milky Way, idiot."
"Oh." R4 whistles. "But wait. You never told them about Clone Wars or Order 66."
Everyone perked up at the two new topics. For the Clone Wars, the Sisters couldn't help but shudder when they clearly knew the apparent meaning of what the term means while the others wondered what Order 66 would suggest.
"I'm not planning to. It's too much for them to understand. But they deserve to know a little bit about the Jedi, though I'm not going to tell them about the Sith."
"Sooner or later, you will tell us everything." Saten pouts.
"But it's wrong to withhold information from them."
"We all have to make sacrifices, bud."
"Consider those sacrifices wisely, Theron. If they find out that they're fighting a war that they can't win, all of that of which will be destroyed."
"You don't know that!" Misaka shouts. "If we all wor together, we definitely will stand a chance!"
Theron rolls his eyes.
"Why do I even care anymore?" Theron thinks. "My master's gone. The Jedi I naively believed in are nothing more than a bunch of emotionless bastards that never understood why they're supposed to study both sides of the Force. This is all a waste of time, honestly."
Everyone perked up at what Theron just said.
"The Empire considers the Jedi a threat, but Theron doesn't really see them in a good light," Misaka notes.
"But isn't he one himself?" Staten questions.
The two finally arrived at a bus stop and waited. After all, they're supposed to meet with Saten and Uiharu. Something about meeting up with Misaka and Shirai somewhere close by.
A few moments later, a bus finally came to a stop, and the two Sakugawa girls got off before their ride left.
"Oh looks! It's us." Uiharu says.
"Hey guys!" Saten greets with a cheerful tone.
"Afternoon to you too, Saten." He greets back. "You're in a cheerful mood today."
"Why wouldn't I be? You've already got an official ID since Academy City will be your new home! And this is will be the beginning of the celebration!"
"I knew you would say that, me!" The Level 0 grinned.
"Celebration?" He cocks his head to the side in confusion.
Uiharu quickly covers her best friend's mouth to prevent her from saying any more.
"Looks like that was meant to be s surprise." Misaka sighs with a smile.
Saten lets out a nervous chuckle.
"Uh, nothing! She's just babbling nonsense! Heh, heh!" Uiharu nervously lies with a chuckle.
Saten takes her friend's hand over her own mouth off and glares at her briefly. Theron, however, raises his eyebrow suspiciously but decides not to use the Force to probe their minds out of respect.
Not long after, the four then stroll down the sidewalk.
"I wonder where the surprise will be." Kuroko wonders.
"Where are we going exactly?" The Jedi asks.
"You'll see." Saten mischievously smirks.
"Charming." He sarcastically comments.
Worst and Accertor snorts at his sarcasm.
They then arrive at an entranceway where female students enter or exit.
The four girls widen there eyes, knowing the location their others are at.
"That's…" Saten says before making a big smile on her face.
"Of course, they would celebrate it there." Misaka shakes her head with a smile on her face. Even Kuroko did the same.
"Uh, I think we have the wrong address," Theron says, confused.
"No, no. This is the right place." Saten confirms. "Misaka and Shirai are inside, waiting for us."
"Hey R4." Theron turns to his astromech companion. "Why don't you wait out here? We don't want any trouble."
"Awe, there going to leave R4 behind? Misaka says as Misaka feels a bit sad for the droid being left behind."
"You're kidding, right?" R4 beeps.
"Dude, that entranceway doubles as a security checkpoint. You wouldn't be allowed inside."
"He has a point. Without proper confirmation, R4 will technically be confiscated." Kuroko notes.
"Sorry, R4, but Theron's right." Uiharu agrees with the boy. "You could be confiscated, and you wouldn't want Theron to get into trouble, do you?"
The droid whistles sadly, disappointed that he can't go with them.
"I understand." The droid beeps.
"Sorry, R4," Uiharu said.
"Good boy." She smiles as she pets the droid on its head dome. "We'll be back soon. See ya later."
"See ya soon, bud," Theron says with a smile as the three teens walk up to the entrance's security checkpoint.
It didn't take long, but the three showed their IDs and an invitation Shirai sent for them to the person posted there.
"Okay then. You three are clear." The security guard nods her head, confirming their invitation as valid.
"Glad that Theron's ID is working perfectly," Saten said.
The trio then passes through and are now on very familiar ground. Well, except for Theron.
"Uh..." He begins but was immediately silenced by the cheerful girl.
"Welcome to the Garden of Learning, Theron," Saten announces smugly.
"This is the Garden of Learning?" Theron questions. "I was expecting something more... I don't know... like a greenhouse?"
The viewers couldn't help but sweatdrop at what Theron said.
Saten and Uiharu sweatdrop at what he just said before putting their confusion aside.
"Not that kind of garden, silly." Saten lectures. "The Garden of Learning."
"It's an upper class girls-only small district within School District 7." Uiharu begins explaining. "Girls who come from high society and range from Levels 3-5 are given a chance to enroll in the special schools here."
"And that's the truth!" Kuroko proudly says while Misaka scratches her cheek in slight embarrassment.
"Seriously?" He rubs the back of his head, slightly confused. "If it's a rich girls-only thing, then why are we getting strange faces since we're outsiders here? Not to mention that I'm a guy."
"That's the usual thing that first-timers would say when arriving." Misaka comments.
"That's simple." The Level 0 girl casually explains. "We usually stand out due to our sailor uniforms we're wearing, and those clothes of yours as well. Though come to think of it, they look all torn up."
"Are those the same clothing he's been wearing from yesterday?" Worst ask.
"I think it is." Uiharu answers.
"Well, I did just pull a Star Destroyer out of the sky yesterday." He admits with a shrug.
"Doesn't he have any spare items of clothing? Misaka asks as Misaka curiously wonders if that if there is more to his fashion sense."
"And the reason it's not restricted to only rich girls is that the Garden allows guests inside as long as you're invited by someone who stays here." The Level 1 girl finishes.
"Like Misaka and Shirai." He deduces.
"Yep." She nods.
"Is this what you were talking about as part of this celebration of yours, Saten?" He crossed his arms. "Or are you just doing this to impress me?"
"Wha-what?!" The Level 0 squeaks while the others look at her with a sly grin. Accelerator just rolled his eyes.
"Wha-what?!" Saten exclaims as her face turns red in embarrassment, nervously laughing. "Not at all! Why would you think I'm trying to impress someone from another planet like you that I just met?!"
"That's right me! Why would you!" Saten shouts while a hint of red in her face. This wasn't really helping her point since her friends were giving her a shit-eating grin.
"Uh-huh. Sure." He sarcastically says, not buying her little lie.
"Shut up, Theron!" The Level 0 scream while she hid her face with her hands in embarrassment while her friends just laughed.
It took a few minutes before everything calmed down.
"A-anyways, we should meet up with Misaka and Shirai by their school's front gate! Come on!"
But just as she starts running, she slips on a puddle and gasps as she falls on her back. However, she did not land into it as her body is held still. Confused, she tilts her head upward to see that Theron is using the Force to stop her from falling into the puddle.
Saten sighed in relief, seeing that her other didn't fall o the puddle. "Thank you, Theron."
"You're welcome." Theron deadpans.
The girls chuckled at the coincidental reply the Force-wielder said.
"For goodness sakes, Saten." Uiharu sighs in amusement. "We REALLY don't want a repeat like before."
"What?" Almost everyone blurted out in the room while the two Tokiwadai students knew what the other Uiharu meant, making the viewing Uiharu giggles while Saten scratches her cheek in embarrassment.
Flashback
It was only a year ago that Saten fell into a puddle and had to wear a Tokiwadai uniform so that her own uniform can be cleaned and sent to her home. The skirt, however, was so small that she gets all shy and uncomfortable.
"Ugh… why did it have to show that?" Saten groans as she covers her face with her hands, while The Level 1 just rubs her back to comfort her. While the girls chuckled at her misfortune and the Dean simply looks away, uninterested at the scene.
Saten chuckles in embarrassment as she recalls that time.
"Repeat?" Theron asks, flustering the girl in question again.
"No more flashbacks, please," Saten begs.
...
"What was that? Misaka asks as Misaka is confused by the momentarily pause just now."
"I think that was an intermission or something." Misaka answers being a bit confused herself.
"They're running late, aren't they?" Misaka asks Shirai as they are waiting by the front gate outside of Tokiwadai Middle School.
"I swear. If Saten has fallen into another puddle, I'm going to lose it." Shirai mutters aloud.
"I don't fall into a puddle all the time!" Saten shouts as she tries to defend herself.
"What about the time in the park?" Kuroko raises a brow.
"And the track and field in school?" Uiharu added though she did give an apologetic look.
"And the time on the beach?" Misaka smirks.
After hearing the countless jabs from her friends, she could only answer by pouting and focusing back on the chapter. Though with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Sorry, we're late, guys!"
That voice belonged to Uiharu as the Tokiwadai girls turn their heads around and see that Uiharu, Saten, and Theron have arrived.
"Hey, you three!" Misaka greets. "Glad that you could make it, Theron. We were sure you wouldn't come after what happened yesterday."
"After taking down a huge spaceship? Misaka doubts that." Worst grins.
"It's not a problem at all. Since Academy City's going to be my home for a while, I thought I would just go. To celebrate our victory against the Empire."
"Oh yes, that." Shirai agrees with him. "The Galactic Empire that's been enslaving your home galaxy in your home dimension, right?"
"Finally! Some answers." The Level 4 cheers while the others began to listen carefully while the Dean looks with interest.
"Yep." He nods. "I kinda wished Konori was here with us. She helped out drive them away from Earth for now."
"Wish our Konori is too." The Level 1 said.
"She's busy finishing up filing reports to our superiors at the Judgement office."
Saten giggles. "Just like our Konori, she likes to keep herself busy in Judgment work, huh?"
"Guess Konori likes to keep herself busy in Judgement work, huh?" The Level 0 rhetorically asks.
The girls giggled at the usual coincidence.
"Pretty much." Shirai shrugs. "I sometimes don't get why she doesn't want to take a day off most of the time."
"But anyways, where's your astro droid?" Misaka asks the boy. "Surely he should be with you and all."
"Had to leave him by the only entranceway into the Garden of Learning." He explains. "Security wouldn't let him in, and I hope he's staying out of trouble."
"I'm sure he will! After what we have seen, he can do." The Level 0 comments, remembering that the droid is no pushover.
"Should we be worried about that?" Shirai questions him.
The audience except the Teleporter laughs at what the other Kuroko meant.
Kuroko pouts as she crosses her arms. "Just because that bucket of bolts doesn't get along with my other doesn't mean she/me can worry about him."
"He's a droid. If he can handle being by himself in the galaxy, I'm sure he can do it again on Earth."
"I'll take your word for it, then." The Teleporter nods.
"So, to the bakery?" The Railgun asks everyone.
...
"Another intermission." Saten comments.
Not long after, the five teens are at the bakery in their seats, waiting for their treats. Theron, however, politely declines to have one as he promises them to talk about his true identity.
Everyone leaned a bit closer to learn more.
"So you're a Jedi?" Saten asks him as the girls wait for their treat.
"So he is a Jedi," Uiharu says.
"Was." He answers.
They all perked up in what he just said. "He's not?" The flower-head girl tilted her head.
"Well, he did confess that he wasn't fond of the Jedi," Kuroko said, remembering in what Theron mentioned before.
"What's a Jedi?" Shirai asks.
"Finally." The Number One muttered as he and the rest finally get to learn what a Jedi is.
"They were once guardians of peace and justice that have sworn in protecting the galaxy where I was from." He explains. "Originally, they were philosophers and scholars that study the galaxy's mysteries."
"So there like religious space cops?" Kuroko scoffs.
"So what? You're a religious space cop?" The Teleporter scoffs in disbelief as she's more of an atheist than a religious follower.
"Space cop is an understatement, Shirai." He deadpans. "The Jedi Knights are meant to guide others on what choice they take, not make it for them."
"So, the Jedi are a religious order of knights then?" Misaka concludes. "Now, where have I heard that before?"
"Do you mean the Knights Templar? Misaka asks as Misaka gives a possible reference to the religious knights to both her older sisters."
"Oh yeah! It is. Thanks." The Railgun smiled towards the Sister.
Just then, the girls' sweets arrived, and they dig in a while, continuing to listen to him.
"Watching this is making me hungry," Saten comments as she starts getting some snacks while a few of her friends are doing the same.
"Like I said, they were." He reminds her. "Back then, there were ten thousand of us protecting the galaxy but were under the jurisdiction of the Galactic Republic as they couldn't help other neutral star systems. And even if we weren't, there aren't enough of us to do so."
"So, there used to be thousands of them." Worst comments as she listens with interest.
"But whats the Galactic Republic?" Saten asks while the others are also interested in it.
"Galactic Republic?" The girls question in confusion.
"The Empire's previous major galactic power."
"I see…" Accelerator mutters. "So they used to be a fair government system, but at one point it all fell apart, which brought the rise of Empire."
They nod in understanding.
"Wait, you said the Jedi were under Republic jurisdiction. Why?" Saten curiously asks.
"Let's just say that the Jedi have a track record of making a lot of stupid mistakes in the past. Directly and indirectly."
"Wait. What?" Staten said in surprise, along with the others not expecting a peacekeeping force, would make a countless mistake.
Despite the Jedi being peacekeepers, they have literally made a lot of them throughout their lifetime.
"Mistakes?" Misaka asks.
"Yeah." He nods. "Like helping a pacifist bitch converting an artistic warrior culture into a pacifist civilization. Backed by the Republic too."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Saten questions.
"Turning a group into peaceful doesn't sound bad, but I'm betting what Theron meant was who these people are and how it's done is what makes it stupid." The Railgun adds.
"Are you saying that the Republic doesn't have a military?" Uiharu deduces. "That kinda sounds stupid to me."
"Couldn't agree more, Uiharu." Shirai agrees with her.
The viewers nodded in agreement in how stupid that actually sounds.
"I won't go into too much detail, but they originally did a thousand years earlier in my universe. It's why the Jedi were under their jurisdiction and are more worried about their own interests than letting the Jedi help other worlds that remain neutral to the Republic. Then, about ten years ago, a civil war broke out, and the Republic fought against a short-lived faction called the Separatist Alliance, who believed that the Republic has become corrupted and were less caring about their people. Of course, the Seps were no better, and the Republic won the war."
"That's stupid." Kuroko shakes her head in disappointment. "What's the point of having peacekeeping force if you can't let them do their job?"
"I can't even imagine what if Judgment or Anti-Skill are in that position." Uiharu comments.
Accelerator frowned at how completely flowed the Republics way they handle their government. Even he's not stupid to do something like that. Heck, even Aleister wasn't that stupid.
"Aside from the Republic being a corrupted government, they at least didn't allow this civil war to go on forever." Misaka sarcastically comments."
"Yeah… I mean, they're not stupid enough to let the Jedi do all the work." The viewing Misaka sarcastically said.
"Yeah, except the war was orchestrated."
The viewers perked up at this.
The girls perked up at this.
"What are you talking about?" Saten asks.
"The Republic's last Supreme Chancellor manipulated both sides that not even the Jedi were aware of, and they were falsely accused of treason."
The viewers' eyes widen at this new information.
"So the Supreme Chancellor who is obviously the Emperor played both sides in the war, but by the end of it, it wasn't the Republic or the Separatist that won. It was the Empire." Accelerator deduced as he narrows his eyes to the truth.
The girls listening gasped in shock at the revelation.
"That's… that's just wrong." Misaka growled in rage.
"To use war to obtain what you want…" Saten was both sad and angry at anyone who would dare do this.
The girls' eyes widen in shock.
"At the end of the war, the Jedi were hunted down and killed, resulting in a galactic wide purge. They didn't even spare the children."
"So that's what became of the Jedi…" The Level 0 sadly said.
"Theron... I'm so sorry." Saten says with sadness in her voice.
Her friends feel the same thing.
Even the viewers did as well.
"Don't be. My master and I were never involved in the war. Not mention, I'm not officially recognized as a Jedi due to my master being expelled from the Order."
The viewers now just blinked in confusion.
"Okay… Misaka wasn't expecting that." Worst said, confused along with the others.
Now, this got them confused. How is he a Jedi if he's not officially recognized as one?
"But anyways, the Chancellor declared himself Emperor and reorganized the Republic into the first Galactic Empire, promising the people for a 'safe and secure society.'"
"Accelerator's theory was correct. Misaka states as Misaka growls at the scary-looking Emperor."
"That sounds a lot like BS to me," Shirai says in disgust.
"Totally with you on that one me." The viewing Shirai says in disgust.
"Believe me, it is." He nods. "After that, the Empire soon took control of many neutral systems and enslaved most species since humans rule the regime itself."
This disgusted the girls even more as they genuinely hate slavery and racism.
Even the viewers were disgusted in learning in what has become of their government.
"But what about the Jedi? Did some survived the purge?" Saten questions.
"A few, but I doubt that they're still alive. Knowing that the remaining Jedi could be a threat to them, the Empire decided to hunt down the last of them in hiding before they could have a chance to rebuild and fight back." He concludes his story, though he didn't tell them everything as it would be too much for the girls to understand.
"At least we have a picture of what's happening now," Saten said though she does feel a bit annoyed to be left out with other information Theron has.
"So if the Empire is here in our universe, then they must have a real bone to pick with you." Shirai snorts, still in disbelief of what he finished explaining.
"Your other really doesn't buy any of this, huh?" The Level 0 looks towards her friends.
"If our positions were reversed, I would be the same, but after what we have seen so far, I have no choice but to believe it."
"Not really since I never had a record in the Jedi archives." He casually says.
"How can he be so calm about this?" Saten says in disbelief.
"He's been here for years, and nothing happened to him so far." The Dean shrugs. "He was in hiding, so he's perfectly safe."
"How are you so calm about it?" Saten says in disbelief.
"I've been on your planet for three whole years, Saten. But now that they know who I am, they'll be back in greater numbers."
"Told you."
"Well, with you around, I'm sure we'll be able to prevail." Uiharu declares with determination.
"I wouldn't be too sure," Misaka says, earning looks from her friends.
"Why would your other say that, Sissy?" Shirai asks curiously to her Misaka.
"I'm sure my other will explain it."
"How come, Sissy?" Shirai asks curiously.
"Since the Empire will be back in greater numbers, it'll be a long while before they can try again. We were lucky to prevent an invasion from them."
"Just as a thought." The Railgun said.
They thought for a moment and realized that she'd got the point.
"She's right," Theron says. "And if the rest of the world finds out that they're not alone in the universe, there would be mass panic. Thankfully, your civilization is the only one that is aware of them, though indirectly due to the lack of information everyone in Academy City has. But for me, I can't do this sort of thing. Not after I lost my master."
The viewers saw the logic in what Theron said, but they were more shocked at how the Force-user has no intentions in fighting the Empire and the part of hearing the loss of his master.
"What?" Saten says in shock. "Why?"
"It's personal." He cryptically answers.
16 BBY
"Another flashback?" Uiharu asks.
"I think it is." Misaka answers.
Theron runs through a forest as he storms inside the small cabin.
"Is that a younger Theron?" The Level 0 says can't helping that something is wrong.
"Master Shan!" He calls out to him.
"I know." His master says as they hear an Imperial TIE and shuttle land outside of their home. "It's time."
"The Empire?!" Saten gasps.
"So this a flashback on when Empire attacked them." Kuroko narrowed her eyes.
Theron nods and quickly gathers his things from his room. He then notices R4.
"What's going on, meatbag?"
"So R4 was even with during that age. Misaka notes as Misaka observes the flashback."
"We're leaving, R4." He explains. "They're here. I don't know how they were able to find us."
Both he and the droid exit his room and notice that his master is nowhere to be found.
"Master?" Theron calls out.
The audience could only watch in silence as the dread slowly begins to fill them.
The boy runs outside and sees bodies of dead Purge troopers. Theron then looks up to see that Master Shan is fighting a Dark side user, green clashing with red. It looks like his master has the upper hand until he senses his Padawan and turns around to see him only to be stabbed through the chest from behind.
The audience gasped in horror as they watched Theron's master being stabbed by his enemy.
Saten and Uiharu covered their mouths in their hands, Misaka and Kuroko looked away from the sight, Last Order hid her head on Accelertros lap, and he and Worst narrowed their eyes towards the Dark side user.
"Oh, Theron…" Saten mutters in pure sadness.
"No!" He shouts, Force pushing the Dark side adept into a tree.
Theron then runs up to his severely injured father figure and holds him into his arms.
"Theron... Promise... promise me that you will survive in these dark times no matter what." The dying exiled Jedi says.
"No master, don't go!" The boy pleads, tears covering his eyes.
"The Force is strong in you. Pass on what you have learned." With one final gasp, he closes his eyes and passes away.
Theron cries as tears drop onto his master's chest.
The girls quietly cried for the life that was lost. Worst and Accelerator closed their eyes out respect.
"Such a tragedy." The killer mockingly comments as he gets back up and ignites his red blade. "Being an Inquisitor has taught me one thing: Loss gives strength."
The girls, while tears on their eyes glared at the murderer, Worst is the same. Accelerator dangerously narrowed his eyes at the dog of the Empire. He couldn't help but think about what was to happen to himself if he lingered longer in the darkness.
Theron looks up and grits his teeth in hatred as his eyes turn yellow.
Saten gasped at the sight of his eyes. "His eyes!"
"Just like Vader's." The Teleporter comments. "Do you think this has something to do with the Force?"
"It might have to do when a Force-wielder gets extremely angry. Misaka theorizes as Misaka sees the pattern between Vader and Theron."
"But you..." He continues. "You already know the definitive meaning of loss, didn't you?"
In a blind rage, Theron ignites his lightsaber and charges at him. However, the Inquisitor easily blocks it with one hand, and knee kicks him in the stomach before Force pushing the boy into a tree, knocking the latter's saber out of his hand. Theron attempts to recover his hilt, but the Inquisitor quickly uses the Force to take it from him and looks down on him.
"No!" The Level 0 shouts.
He then kicks the boy in the face, knocking him unconscious. He deactivates his own lightsaber and picks the boy up over his shoulder and hops back in his TIE interceptor.
"So that's how Theron and Vader met…" Uiahru said. "But why take him instead of killing him?"
"Remember the first episode? Vader was training him. He must have wanted to try and convert him on his side." Worst answered.
"That's sick…" Misaka mutters in disgust.
The fighter hovers off the ground and opens fires on the hut, blowing it into smithereens before flying away with the boy. Unbeknownst to the Inquisitor, R4 was hiding behind a tree after he witnessed Theron get taken. Good thing the astromech got out before being basted into pieces along with the hut that now burns.
...
"Looks like tats the end of the flashback…" Saten said.
"Theron. Theron!"
The now grown-up teen snaps out of his thoughts, recollecting his master's death and sees that the girls have concerned look on their faces.
"Are you okay?" Saten asks him.
"It's nothing." He answers, not wanting to talk about it as he looks outside the window.
The girls wanted to know what he's hiding but decided not to pry into it for now.
To be continued...
The audience could only sit in silence as they contemplate about Theron's past. They can understand a bit in why he refuses to fight against the Empire.
It took them a moment before they could start the next chapter.
To be continued…
