Space Battle:

Elsewhere in the galaxy, a large fleet of three dozen warships exits hyperspace, one being an old Imperial Super Star Destroyer. On the bridge, an admiral walks up to Grand Moff Kabalek, the leader of the Core Alliance.

"Mylord, we've been forced out of hyperspace by an interdictor-cruiser. A Republic fleet is located in sector 3-2-7. It's an ambush."

"How many ships do they have?" Kabalek wonders.

"Less than half our numbers, sir" the admiral reports.

A lieutenant looks up from his console. "Sir! We are being hailed by the Republic."

Kabalek nods. "Let it through." A hologram of Rey Skywalker appears before him. "Lady Inquisitor" he says smugly. "It would appear as your trap has failed, since you hardly have enough ships to challenge me hear this day."

"Quite the opposite, I assure you" Rey says confidently. "I knew you would attack in force, I knew you would come this way. Im simply waiting for my ships to align with yours."

"So you're buying time? Is that it?" Kabalek chuckles. "Surrender now, my lady. Before it is too late."

On Rey's flagship, she looks at the hologram of Kabalek. "Your evil reign has come to an end, Grand Moff Kabalek. You were a tyrant when you served the Empire, you were a tyrant when you served the First Order. And you are a tyrant still, ruling the Core Alliance. Today, you will pay for your crimes. For your sins."

Kabalek frowns. "I dont fear you or your abilities, Lady Inquisitor. I know how to defeat your kind. I know what needs to be done to prevent your kind from burning down the galaxy. And you wont stop me, Skywalker. None of you will."

Rey turns to her captain. "Are we ready?"

"Yes, my lady."

"Proceed as planned" Rey says calmly. "Fire at will."

In the midst of the Republic fleet are five warships unlike the rest. Five ships that looks like they have been built around a huge cannon each (Onager class Star Destroyers!). One of them opens fire and with a single blast from its main gun it annihilates the Super Star Destroyer. Rey looks at the burning remains of the Super Star Destroyer.

"Good bye, Grand Moff Kabalek." She then turns to her captain, "Continue at your leisure, captain. I want them all dead", she says and then leaves the bridge.

The remaining four Onager ships opens fire, destroying an enemy ship each utterly. The rest of the Republic fleet moves in and opens fire.

The Holonet Relay:

Amee, Kyle, Bayl and BB-8 exit a maintenance shaft and enter a corridor. BB-8 hooks up to a nearby computer-console and Amee checks the data.

"We're not far from the hangarbays."

"Then lets go" Kyle says, weapon ready.

Thats when security-guards spot them from further down the corridor.

Bayl takes aim, "We've got company!", and opens fire with Kyle joining in.

Amee shouts over the noise of battle. "We have to move before they have us surrounded! BB-8, lead the way! We need to get to a ship!"

BB-8 chirps and beeps and rolls off, with the other three running after, chased by local security.

In the antenna-cluster, a hatch opens in the floor and Tyl climbs down, with Chewie looking on.

"This wont take long" Tyl says. "Once the regulator is in place, you pull the lever for the compensator. That should give D-O the power he needs to transmit the message."

Chewie says something in Shyyriwook, looking down on Tyl working with the innards of the antenna-cluster.

Tyl shrugs. "Yeah well... Lets just hope nothing else happens."

In the hangar-bay, Ben walks slowly, looking for Jaina, his lightsaber still in his hand but not activated.

"It's useless to resist" Ben says. "There's nothing you can do to prevent any of it. Your friends will die. The droids and what ever they carry in their memory will be destroyed. Mother will defeat the Core Alliance and the Republic will save billions of people from tyranny and suffering. Your treason has been in vain. Pointless. Surrender, Jaina. What other choice do you have?"

Jaina's lightsaber on his hilt is activated and flies off. And in so doing, wounding his leg severely. Ben screams with pain and falls to a knee as the lightsaber flies through the air and is grabbed by Jaina as she steps out of hiding. Jaina uses the Force to choke Ben. But Ben in turn throws crates at his sister, forcing her to release him and instead strike the incoming objects out of the way with her lightsaber. She looks back at Ben who is struggling with his wounded leg. Jaina uses the Force to push a large shuttle towards him, and Ben relies on the Force to catch it as it comes towards him and pushes him up against a wall. Jaina, limping, runs towards a Republic fightercraft and climbs into the cockpit. Inside, she activates it and takes off, leaving the hangarbay. At the same time, the shuttle is pushed aside and Ben crawls out from behind it, looking on as Jaina leaves with the fightercraft.

(The New Republic Fighter design, I imagine being similar to a B-Wing, but with the cockpit closer to the engine and with a second main wing attached to the cockpit, just like the engine-section. When docked, both wings are folded upwards and upon flight, all wings unfold. The wings double fold when landed, earning the fighter the name of Bird-Wing)

Elsewhere in the installation, Amee, Kyle and Bayl follow BB-8 into another hangar where they find the Inquisitorial shuttle they arrived with. They are followed by security-guards and Inquisitorial troops, as well as Acklin. Amee and Kyle stand in the airlock shooting at the troops while Bayl gets into the pilot-seat, BB-8 joining him in the cockpit.

"You sure the tractor-beams are offline?" Bayl asks.

BB-8 hooks up to a computer, beeps and chirps, and his speech is translated in text on a screen.

Bayl nods. "Alright. Let's hope you're right."

Managing the controls, Bayl gets the ship off the ground, closes the airlock and leaves the hangarbay.

Acklin picks up his comlink. "Launch fighters now! Dont let them escape!"

In space, four Republic Bird-Wings are quick to give chase to the Inquisitorial shuttle. Bayl is not the best pilot and the shuttle takes multiple hits. Amee climbs into a rear-facing turret and returns fire. One of the hits sends Kyle flying across the ship.

"We cant take much more of this!" Kyle calls out.

Bayl does his best piloting and Amee keeps firing at the enemy ships. The pursuing fighters soon take hits as Jaina joins in with her stolen fighter.

Jaina contacts her friends. "Just shoot at ships shooting at you! Id hate to get killed by friendly fire!"

Amee frowns. "No promises!" she says over the headset-comlink.

Jaina looks over her shoulder. "The corvette is coming in, get ready!"

Ben Skywalkers Inquisitorial corvette gives chase and closes in, soon firing its guns as well.

In the control-room, Ben limps into the room and joins his henchmen, including Acklin.

"My lord" Acklin says. "We'll soon have them. They cant hold out against your ship for much longer."

Ben limps over to the viewports. "No, they can not. Why arent they leaving? Why are they still circling?"

"Unclear, my lord" Acklin says. "They may still have allies in the antenna-tower. We are trying to bypass blastdoors over there as we speak."

Ben looks at the antenna-cluster. "Can they transmit from the tower?" Ben asks and turns to an officer from the station.

The officer nods. "If they have a droid, then yes. With some modifications to the internal systems, it is possible."

Ben turns to look at the antenna-tower with grim eyes.

In space,the fight continues. The corvette veers off however, something that Amee picks up on.

"The big ship is heading back to the station" Amee points out.

"Im on it" Jaina says and flies after the corvette, attacking it without much success. "It's ignoring me" she finally says. "It's heading straight for the antenna-cluster!"

In the antenna-tower, Tyl finally manages to finish his task.

"There!" he grins. "Now! Pull that lever now!"

Chewie growls and climbs up a ladder and hurries for the lever and its console. As he does, he spots the incoming ship through some viewports.

Tyl looks up at Chewie. "What are you doing?! Pull that lever now!"

Chewie snarls, pulls out his blaster and aims down at Tyl. D-O chirps nervously and Tyl doesn't know what to make of it.

"What are you doing?! General, pull the lever!"

Chewie says something in Shyyriwook and fires his weapon. The bolt hits a control-panel that short-circuits and closes the hatch above Tyl.

"General?!" Tyl calls out as he starts hitting the hatch in vain.

Chewie turns to look at the incoming corvette. D-O suspects what is about to happen. The corvette fires several blasts and obliterates the antenna-tower.

Bayl and Amee, as well as Jaina, look on at the destruction. So does Ben from the control-room. Tyl pushes debris and cables and wiring from him and gets on his feet and looks up at the hatch.

"General" he says with a sigh.

Tyl, reluctantly and disheartened, starts making his way down from the tower.

In space, Jaina regains her wits.

"We stick with the plan. Get ready, in case they made it out of there."

Bayl nods in his cockpit. "Got it."

They fly over towards the station, taking fire from enemy fighters.

In the antenna-tower, Tyl is chased by security-personnel, firing over his shoulder. He climbs into an escape-pod and launches.

In space, the Inquisitorial shuttle sweeps in towards the escape-pod. Onboard, Kyle handles the controls to the tractor-beam.

"Tractor beam locking on!" Kyle calls out. "We got them!"

The pod gets pulled along behind the shuttle and gets dragged in. They are constantly chased by the fighters, even if Jaina's flying is helping out. The pod gets secured to the underside of the shuttle.

"Pod secured!" Kyle calls out.

Shortly after, both the shuttle and Jaina in the stolen fighter make the jump to hyperspace.

On the station, Ben Skywalker looks out the viewport at the stars, face twisted with anger and hate.

Planet of Kielghana:

The Inquisitorial shuttle and stolen Bird-Wing fly in towards the planet of Kielghana. Both ships are safe on the ground in the clearing of a forest. All heroes are disheartened, Bayl doing his best to comfort Kyle and Amee. Tyl walks over to Jaina.

"The tower got blasted before any signal was sent" Jaina says. "They died for nothing."

Tyl shakes his head and sighs. "So what now?"

Jaina sighs. "I dont know. What can we do?"

"We can fight them" Amee says and stands up. "We got two ships. We got blasters. We got BB-8. What more do we need?"

"A plan" Jaina says. "We need a plan and a strategy if we are serious about challenging the Inquisition. And my mother."

"In that case" Bayl says, "we need allies. On our own, we wont get very far."

Tyl nods. "I think I know who could help us."

Jaina looks at Tyl. "Who?"

Tyl grins.

Planet of Exogol:

Two Inquisitorial troopers escort a shackled Rose Tico through the Inquisitorial prison-fortress until they enter a chamber where Rey Skywalker is waiting.

"You failed" Rey says as she turns to look at Rose. "Your plan did not succeed. The truth about Griefalnak remains a secret. Poe is dead. Jannah is dead. Chewbacca is dead. All your friends are dead or arrested."

Rose frowns. "It doesnt matter, Rey. It might not be me or anyone we know, but someone will see through your lies and fight you. Someone will stop you eventually."

"Havent you heard?" Rey asks. "The Core Alliance has surrendered to my forces. The Alliance is breaking apart and the vast majority of their systems are rushing to join with the Republic. I defeated them, Rose. I ended their tyranny. I built in secret a squadron of warships based on the technology the Empire used to build the Death Star. But instead of destroying an entire planet, I simply settled for a cannon strong enough to destroy a ship with a single blast. My cruisers can wipe out any fleet, destroy any city, overcome any defenses. No one will dare go against the Republic or the Inquisition from now on. No one, Rose. The galaxy will know peace once more, thanks to me."

"Peace?" Rose sneers. "You dont even know the meaning of the word anymore."

Rey walks up to Rose and studies her. "I will bring order to the galaxy. I will bring stability. Im sorry you can not see what Im trying to do here."

"I see it, alright" Rose says. "All too clearly. I see all the murders and all the torture you are willing to commit and sanction. You are a tyrant, Rey. You have become the very thing you have fought to destroy. A tyrant."

"I will prove you wrong, Rose" Rey says. "When my work is done, I will prove you wrong." Rey takes a step back. "Until then, you will just have to wait."

"Rey, dont!"

Rose Tico is lowered into a machine that encloses around her and smoke errupt from it. Seconds later, the machine opens up and pushes out Rose Tico, now encased in carbonite.

"You will see" Rey says to the frozen Rose. "When all is done, you will see."

A robotic arm grabs hold of Rose and drags her along, into a vast chamber holding hundreds of frozen prisoners.

Planet of Kielghana:

Our heroes are standing by their ships, looking up as a Corellian frigate flies in overhead and circles.

"Are you sure about this?" Jaina wonders as she looks at Tyl.

"You know this crew and this ship" Tyl says. "They've been on the most wanted list of the Inquisition ever since the Inquisition was created."

"That's what worries me" Jaina says. "Can they be trusted?"

"You know who the captain is" Tyl says.

"Well I dont" Kyle cuts in.

Tyl only smiles. "Well, kiddo. You're about to find out."

The large ship lands not far away and our heroes walks on over to the ship. A tube extends to the ground from the ship, allowing an elevator to bring the crew down. Leaving the elevator are half a dozen of proper space-pirates of various races. Leaving that group is the ships captain; Zorii Bliss!

"I cant believe it" Zorii says. "You weren't kidding, Tyl. You really are flying with Jaina Skywalker?"

Tyl nods. "Sure do. And we have a business proposition."

"Such as?" Zorii wonders.

Jaina steps forward. "I help you raid Republic shipping, and you help us attack anything related to the Inquisition."

Zorii looks at them all. "You planning on starting a revolution or something?"

"Something like that" Tyl admits.

Amee then steps up. "I was told the crew of the Calrissian were the best privateers around. Not afraid of anything. Least of all the Inquisition. We can offer you easy targets to raid. And we can offer you a chance to cause real trouble for the Republic. So how about it?"

Zorii looks at the strange bunch offering her a job. "Easy raids and causing trouble?"

Tyl nods. "That's about it."

Jaina steps forward. "With the targets I can provide you with, you will have more money than you could ever imagine."

"I dunno" Zorii says. "I can imagine quite a bit."

"You'll get it, and more" Jaina assures her.

Zorii gives it some thought. "Alright" she says in the end. "You got yourselves a ship and crew."

The three ships, the Corellian frigate, the Inquisitorial shuttle and the Bird-Wing fighter all leave the planet, fly through space and make the jump to hyperspace.

The End

First draft if you will of my story. Already have changes in mind at several places. For instance, the station where our heroes runs into Chewbacca Im planning on putting on a waterworld instead. And the holonetwork station Im thinking of making a base on a moon. And more dialogue on Bracca as well, a bit of downtime before the action continues. Anyway, this is the basic plot for my version of Episode 10.
