Above Lothal, multiple Star Destroyers including the Chimaera along with multiple Imperial Light Cruisers and Gozanti-class cruisers laid stationary in front of the planet as a lone TIE fighter flew towards them.
"Sir, we're detecting several craft coming out of Hyperspace," an Imperial officer on one of the Imperial Light Cruisers reported to an Imperial officer with light skin, brown hair, mustache, beard and brown eyes that was walking behind him and as he said that, multiple Y-wings and X-wings that were painted white and green jumped out of Hyperspace being led by Hera, who was wearing a red rebel pilot's uniform and her face-plate like helmet over her face with Chopper inside of her X-wing's astromech socket.
"All right, let's make this count," Hera said from her X-wing, "Lothal's depending on us. Remember the Imperial fuel depot is our primary target."
"Presuming we get past this blockade," Mart, who was one of the rebel pilots replied from his X-wing as he was wearing an orange rebel pilot's uniform and a rebel pilot's helmet colored gray and white with the word 'Sammie,' written in basic on the left side of his helmet.
"They might have numbers, but we've got skill," a human female with light skin, brown hair and eyes named Cleat and codenamed Phoenix Four wearing an orange rebel pilot's uniform and a rebel pilot's helmet had two large blue Rebel Alliance Starbirds on both sides of her helmet.
"That last part goes double for me," Mart remarked before Chopper grunted a response from Hera's X-wing.
"Yes, Chopper, triple for you," Hera assured her astromech, "Lock S-foils in attack position." Just as she said that, every single X-wing opened their wings' up and locked their S-foils in attack position, "Fighter group, stay with your wingmen and punch a hole in their defenses. We have to get the Y-wings through."
"So the rebels have come at last," Thrawn said as he walked onto the Chimaera's bridge with Woldar and Skerris, who had his TIE pilot's helmet under his arm, while the Chiss Grand Admiral had both of his arms behind his back as Skerris had his right arm behind his back.
"Twenty-four ships, Grand Admiral," Woldar reported to Thrawn, "Mixed group of fighters and bombers."
"Their target will be the fuel depot in the capital," Thrawn stated as he moved his left arm away from his back, "Alert all commands, deploy the fleet in defensive formation and launch fighters." He then turned to Skerris as he moved his left arm back behind his back, "Commander, the rebels must not reach the planet's surface."
"I'll make sure of it, sir," Skerris replied as he left the bridge.
"Here we go. Attack speed!" Hera said as squadrons of TIE fighters began to be deployed from the Star Destroyers, Imperial Light Cruisers and Gozanti-class cruisers before Chopper grunted a response as he pulled one of his metal arms out as both the X-wings and TIE fighters began firing at one another with their laser cannons as one of the X-wings destroyed one of the TIE fighters.
Meanwhile on Lothal, emergency sirens began blaring on anti-air turret towers that were protecting the TIE Defender factory and rotated around as Kanan, Zeb Janus and the Mandalorian twins sneaked up to one of the towers with all three Mandalorians having their helmets over their heads as Janus had his Beskar armor back over his undersuit as they planted thermal detonators on the tower.
"Sure these explosives are strong enough?" Zeb asked Sabine after planting his thermal detonator on the tower.
"I'm sure they're strong enough, Zeb," Janus assured the Lasat as he placed his thermal detonator on the tower, "Besides, what is a Mandalorian without their weapons?"
"Janus is right, Zeb, they'll do the trick," Sabine answered, agreeing with Janus as she planted her thermal detonator on the tower, "Why?"
"It's just that these gun towers look a lot bigger up close," Zeb explained as they walked away from the thermal detonators that they planted and around the corner of the tower before a stormtrooper standing above on the tower and behind the tower's gate could spot them.
"Ryder, what's your status?" Satele asked the former Lothalite governor with her wrist's communicator as she, her sister and boyfriend hid from view as they held their WESTAR-35s in their hands.
"We're setting the last of our charges now," Ryder answered from Satele's wrist communicator, "Meet you at the rendezvous."
"Copy. We got one more tower to go," Satele responded as she spoke into her wrist's communicator again.
"Hera will be here any minute," Sabine told her.
Back in space and above Lothal, the X-wings continued to chase and fire their laser cannons upon the TIE fighters with one of the pilots being Hera as she and Mart, who was the rebel pilot that was piloting the X-wing next to her flew underneath one of the Star Destroyers as she destroyed one of the TIE fighters they were chasing with her X-wing's laser cannons.
"Phoenix two, you've got the wingman," Hera told Mart as she turned to his X-wing for a second.
"Already on it, General," Mart replied as he shot the other TIE fighter, causing it to spiral out of control towards one of the Imperial Light Cruisers, destroying it instantly.
"Nice shot," Hera said, complimenting the teenage rebel pilot, "Phoenix Four and Five, thin out those TIEs at point three."
"Copy, Phoenix Leader," Cleat replied before contacting her fellow X-wing rebel pilot wingman, "Try to keep up, Duke."
"I'm right behind you!" Duke, a human male rebel pilot with light skin, brown hair and eyes wearing an orange rebel pilot's uniform and a rebel pilot's helmet colored greenish-brown, white and a little bit of orange as well as Orange Rebel Alliance Starbirds on both sides of his helmet replied as he followed Cleat's X-wing and swooped around as they fired their X-wings' laser cannons upon the two TIE fighters as they began to chase the TIE fighters with him destroying one of them and Cleat destroying the other one, "Good shot!"
"Stay on my wing," Skerris ordered two TIE pilots that were flying with him in their TIE fighters as he piloted a TIE Defender Elite that had slimmers of yellow painted on the TIE Defender Elite's wings and began to close in on Cleat and Duke.
"Watch out! We've picked up three more," Cleat said as they began to flee as Skerris began to fire his TIE Defender Elite's laser cannons upon Duke's X-wing as he grunted before the laser cannons of Skerris' TIE Defender Elite collided with his X-wing, killing him and destroying his X-wing instantly as Cleat rotated her X-wing around as she continued to flee, only for Skerris to fire his TIE Defender Elite's laser cannons at her X-wing's thrusters, causing the starfighter to begin to spark with electricity inside the cockpit, "Control systems failing…"
"Cleat! Scissor right," Hera ordered Cleat, "I'll cut them off." But just as she said that, Skerris fired at Cleat's X-wing again with his TIE Defender Elite's laser cannons as its targeting system locked onto her X-wing, killing her after she yelled and destroying her X-wing instantly with Hera noticing with an angry expression on her face before she began firing at his TIE escort, destroying both TIE fighters instantly.
"Syndulla," Skerris stated as he noticed just how well she handled his TIE escort and flew her X-wing past him.
"You good?" Satele asked Zeb as she came up next to him on a speeder bike as he finished planting a thermal detonator on the last anti-air turret tower as it and the other four were firing turbolasers into the air.
"Last one," he answered as Sabine and Janus appeared next to her on their own speeder bikes as well.
"All right, hop on," Satele told the Lasat as he walked up to her.
"That's not how this works," Zeb told her as he picked her up.
"Hey!" She protested as he placed her on the back of the speeder bike.
"Hop on," Zeb said as he sat in the speeder bike's pilot's seat before accelerating the speeder bike forward along with everyone else as Sabine pressed a button on the activator for the thermal detonators that they planted on the anti-air turret towers as she held it in her hand, causing the thermal detonators to activate and detonate as all four anti-air turret towers began crumbling to the ground.
"My air defenses have been compromised," Pryce told Thrawn as she spoke with him in her office within the Imperial Complex with the holocommunicator on her desk as she had both of her arms behind her back as two Imperial officers in front of her desk with one of them sitting in one of the chairs in front of her desk with the other one standing next to the other Imperial officer with his arms behind his back as Thrawn had both of his arms behind his back as well.
"I am aware. An impressive level of coordination, though not unexpected," Thrawn told her.
"The factory is vulnerable," she stated.
"Oh, on the contrary, Governor, it's quite safe. I won't allow a single rebel ship through my blockade," Thrawn assured her.
Skerris began to chase Hera and her X-wing as he fired his TIE Defender Elite's laser cannons at her but she evaded his laser cannons' lasers every time he fired them at her.
"Still no good, he's too fast," Hera muttered to herself before seeing that she and her X-wing along with Chopper were beginning to approach the Star Destroyers, "Hang on, Chop! I've got an idea."
"Where are you going?" Skerris asked as he followed Hera in his TIE Defender Elite.
"X-wing on attack vector," an Imperial officer reported to Thrawn as they along with another Imperial officer stood in front of a holotable on the Chimaera's bridge, who projected a map of the dogfight outside the Star Destroyer.
"Skerris, break off your pursuit," Thrawn ordered Skerris.
"Nevagative, command, I almost have her," Skerris said from his TIE Defender Elite, refusing the Chiss Grand Admiral's orders.
"How unfortunate," Thrawn remarked, "Open fire."
"But, sir, Commander Skerris…" an Imperial officer standing near one of the Imperial gunnery officers at the weapons systems began to protest.
"Is playing into Syndulla's hand," Thrawn explained, "Now open fire."
With that said, the turbolasers of the Chimaera rotated around before they began firing at Hera's X-wing, causing it to spark with electricity as its shields were deactivated as Chopper pulled both of his metal arms out and grunted a response as the turbolasers also hit Skerris' TIE Defender Elite, disabling his fighter's shields.
"He has no shields, we have no shields," Hera stated as Skerris continued to fire at her X-wing, "Tighten your bolts. Here we go." She then reactivated her Starfighter's thrusters as she flew over the Chimaera's bridge with Thrawn watching as Skerris followed her as she fired her X-wing's laser cannons at the Chimaera's tractor beam targeting array on top of the Star Destroyer's bridge and as she fired her X-wing's laser cannons' lasers at the array, a cloud of smoke emerged from the tractor beam targeting array and closed her X-wing's S-foils as she approached the cloud of smoke and rotated her X-wing upwards as Skerris flew his TIE Defender Elite through the smoke as she fired her X-wing's upon the TIE Defender Elite, causing two of its wings to be blown right off, surprising him as he groaned before his TIE Defender Elite spiraled towards a nearby Imperial Light Cruiser and crashed into it, killing him instantly.
"She got him!" Mart cried, happily with relief as she reopened her X-wing's S-foils and flew away as the Imperial Light Cruiser began to go down.
"They hit the magazine!" One of the Imperial officers inside of the Imperial Light Cruisers reported as the alarms within the Imperial Light Cruiser began blaring before the Imperial Light Cruiser crashed into the bridge of one of the Star Destroyers, destroying it as he fell down towards the hull of the Star Destroyers, which Thrawn noticed as a Lutrillian with brown skin, a pinkish broad face, fuzzy jowls and blue eyes named Secon Daree wearing a gray colored rebel pilot's uniform and a rebel pilot's helmet colored dark red, white and silver with two silver colored Rebel Alliance Starbirds on both sides of his helmet cheered.
"We've got our opening. This is it," Hera announced, "All wings, form up and head for the target!" With that said, she and the other rebel starfighters began flying towards Lothal.
"The rebel forces have broken through our blockade," Woldar reported to Thrawn, who had his arms behind his back as he stared out the Chimaera's viewport.
"Hmm. Regrettable, but a testament to Captain Syndulla's skill as a combat pilot," Thrawn stated before looking at him with the corner of his eye, "Contact the second wave and order them to intercept."
"Phoenix Leader, I'm picking up enemy fighters at point three," Mart told Hera as they along with the other rebel starfighters flew through Lothal's atmosphere before they saw hundreds of TIE fighters appear in the distance and began to fire their laser cannons upon them.
"We should be seeing them any minute now," Satele said as she hopped off the engine of the speeder bike that Zeb was riding as they reached Ryder and Jai with everyone else getting off their speeders as well.
"There, look!" Sabine said as she turned around and pointed at the sky and saw the rebel starfighters fly down the planet's atmosphere in the distance, "Here they come!"
Just then they heard explosions in the distance, causing all three Mandalorians to flip down their helmets' macrobinocular viewplates' rangefinders.
"What are those?" Zeb asked them,
"Is that…" Satele began to ask as she, Sabine and Janus removed their helmets after flipping their helmets' macrobinocular viewplates' rangefinders back up.
"I think it is, Teal'ika," Janus said, agreeing with his girlfriend.
"It is," Sabine answered, confirming both Satele and Janus' suspicions, "It's the entire attack force."
"Grand Admiral, the entire rebel strike force was destroyed," Woldar reported to Thrawn as he entered the Grand Admiral's office on the Chimaera as the door to the Chiss' office slid open as he was standing behind his desk and in front of one of the works of art from different cultures that he's collected from over the years with his arms behind his back as the door to his office slid back shut, "However, reports indicate that a few ships managed to crash-land in or near Capital City, including the one flown by the flight leader."
"And the Imperial factory?" Thrawn asked him.
"Undamaged, sir," Woldar answered.
"Ah," Thrawn said before walking over to his desk's holoprojector as he activated it with his left hand before moving his left arm back behind his back as Rukh appeared from the holoprojector, "Rukh. Rebel pilots may have survived the attack. Capture them alive, if possible. Captain Syndulla in particular."
"It will be done, Grand Admiral," Rukh replied.
"We've got gunships, incoming!" Sabine announced as she saw Imperial patrol transports flying towards them as she had her helmet's macrobinocular viewplate's rangefinder flipped back down.
"Hera! Hera, do you read me? Hera!" Kanan said into his comlink as he pulled it out with worry in his voice.
"We have to go before they spot us," Ryder told them as he walked towards a speeder bike and walked away with it as he placed his hands on the speeder bike's handles.
"Kanan, let's go," Zeb ordered the blind Jedi Knight as he began to walk away.
"Zeb's right, Kanan, we'll have time to rescue her later," Janus said, agreeing with Zeb as he and everyone but Satele began to walk away as she walked up to her master, "Right now all we need to do is avoid the Imperial patrols."
"We will find her, Kanan," Satele assured her master as she placed her right hand over his right shoulder as she stood next to him, "I promise."
With that said, Kanan and Satele walked away and headed towards the speeder bikes and hopped on them as they left the area on their speeder bikes.
Meanwhile in an alleyway within Capital City, Hera's X-wing with Chopper in the astromech socket, who had both of his metal arms out of his dome as it was crashed between two buildings, heavily damaged as Chopper grunted frustratedly before flying out of the astromech socket as he activated his rocket booster and began to bang on the window of the X-wing's cockpit as he continued to grunt before noticing that Hera was knocked unconscious due to the crash before he lifted up the cockpit's window and began to grunt again to wake Hera up as she slowly began to regain consciousness as she groaned and lifted her head up from the X-wing's dashboard.
"Chopper…" Hera muttered before climbing and hopping out of her X-wing as Chopper landed behind her as three human civilians began to approach them with one of them being a light skinned female with red hair and brown eyes.
"The Empire's coming. You have to go, now!" The civilian with red hair told Hera, "Cut through the market toward the east gate. Hurry!"
"Thank you," Hera thanked the civilians as she limped past them with Chopper before they heard and saw an Imperial patrol transport fly overhead and hid next to a container and rubble as the Imperial patrol transport flew past them with their searchlight not even noticing them as Chopper's transmitter sparked with electricity, "Try to contact Kanan, Satele and Sabine." Chopper then went to contact them with his transmitter, only for it to spark with more electricity than before as he pointed at it with his left metal arm as it pulled it back out of his dome as he grunted a response, "Sorry buddy. We'll get your transmitter fixed, as soon as we get outta here." With that said, she stood up as they sneaked away from their hiding spot as they began to go in the direction that the civilian with red hair suggested that she should go through to evade the Empire.
Ryder, Jai, Sabine, Zeb, Janus and Satele were riding on their speeder bikes down a highway near Capital City with Satele sitting on the back of Zeb's speeder bike as they were leaving the city with Kanan following them on a speeder bike before stopping his speeder bike as he switched the speeder bike's brakes on as he swung the speeder bike to the side, prompting the others to do the same.
"I'm going back," Kanan announced, causing everyone to look at him with surprise, "I have to do this."
"I understand," Satele told him, "We'll see you back at base."
"Sis, we should…" Sabine began to say as they saw Kanan go back down the section of the highway that they came from with his speeder bike.
"If anyone can save Hera, he can," Satele explained, "Besides if it was Janus instead of Hera, I'd do the same for him."
"Thanks, Teal'ika," Janus told her as he smiled under his helmet.
"No problem, Jan'ika," Satele replied before going down the highway with their speeder bikes, "Let's go."
Meanwhile at the Imperial Complex, Governor Pryce was holding a datapad in her hand as she stood in front of an Imperial troop transport as another Imperial troop transport appeared nearby with its door opening as Rukh exited the Imperial troop transport with Secon Daree as he pushed the Lutrillian out of the Imperial troop transport with his electro-staff and knocked him to his knees as Pryce approached them after the Lutrillian whimpered and growled softly at them.
"Well done, assassin," Pryce said, complimenting Rukh before turning to the stormtroopers behind her, "Take him away for interrogation." With that said, the stormtroopers walked over to the Lutrillian rebel and dragged him away.
"Governor Pryce, we found the flight leader's ship in the eastern district, but there's no sign of the pilot or astromech," a stormtrooper with a blac pauldron told Pryce as he approached her.
"Ah, Hera Syndulla," Pryce muttered to herself as she placed her right hand over her chin for a second, "Lock down the entire district and tear it apart, building by building until you find her."
"Yes, Governor," the stormtrooper with the black pauldron said before walking away.
Hera, who had now removed her face-plate from her head, walked around the streets of Capital City, limping with Chopper following until they reached a corner and hid behind it as she saw three stormtroopers standing in front of a barricade they were guarding.
"If we move fast, we can get through that barricade before reinforcements arrive," Hera told Chopper, "Ready?" He grunted a response when they suddenly heard a loud electrical chirp in the distance as Hera pulled her blaster pistol out, "That's a distress call. Sounds like one of ours. It's close. Come on."
Chopper grunted before following Hera down another alleyway as she climbed over a container shaped box before hiding behind some rubble as she saw a damaged X-wing crashed above some rubble with stormtroopers in front of it as they heard another astromech droid grunting, but unlike Chopper's, this one's was high pitched.
"Capture the droid. We need its memory bank," one of the stormtroopers said as they stood in front of Mart, who was the rebel pilot of the damaged X-wing and his astromech, R3-A3 as the astromech droid had his spark projector pulled out as it sparked with electricity as he aimed it at the stormtroopers, "Just immobilize it."
"No!" Mart cried out as one of the stormtroopers fired their E-11 blaster rifle at R3-A3 before Mart kneeled down towards his astromech as R3-A3 powered down, screaming.
"Stay here," Hera ordered Chopper as she watched what one of the stormtroopers did to Mart's astromech droid and sneaked aboard a nearby Imperial troop transport and tapped on the right shoulder of the Imperial troop transport's combat driver, who was using a datapad before she knocked him unconscious as she punched him in the back and pushed him off the seat and began to pilot the Imperial troop transport towards Mart and the stormtroopers.
"Hey, what's he doing?" One of the stormtroopers asked before Mart pushed him to the ground and took his E-11 blaster rifle from him and fired it at him, "Hey!"
"Drop it!" One of the two remaining stormtroopers ordered Mart before getting knocked unconscious by the Imperial troop transport as it collided with him.
"Mart, are you okay?" Hera asked Mart as she sat in the Imperial troop transport's doorway.
"I think so, General," Mart answered, "I'm in one piece anyway."
She then hopped out of the Imperial troop transport's doorway as the stormtrooper behind them stood back up as he picked his E-11 blaster rifle back up, "Don't move!" Chopper then flew over him as he activated his rocket booster, knocking him back to the ground, unconscious.
"Thanks, Chop," Hera told her astromech droid as he grunted a response as he landed back on the ground before he landed on the ground as Hera turned to R3-A3 before turning back to Mart, "I'm sorry about your astromech. But if we're gonna get through this, I need that droid's transmitter so that Chopper can send a signal to get us help."
"That's okay, R3 would want to help us," Mart stated as she kneeled over R3's body as she began to remove R3-A3's transmitter as Mart stood guard.
Meanwhile elsewhere in Capital City, Rukh was sniffing around for a scent after jumping off a building and landed on a building's awning before jumping off the awning and landed on the ground as he heard growling in the distance as he began running on all four of his limbs.
"There. How's that?" Hera asked Chopper as she finished replacing his transmitter with R3-A3's before he activated the transmitter, only for it to chirp and beep a negative sound as he grunted a response, "The Empire must be jamming all frequencies. Well, we'll try again once we get out of the city." Chopper then grunted another response before she went to leave the area with Chopper and Mart following her, "This way. Let's go."
Just then they saw a blaster bolt being fired as it appeared in front of them before they looked up and saw Rukh standing on top of a building behind them, holding his electro-staff in his hand, grunting from the building above before growling.
"Mart, Chopper… Go!" Hera ordered Mart and Chopper as she pulled out her blaster pistol and began firing it at Rukh as they ran away from the area as Rukh followed them from the rooftops as he placed his electro-staff back over his back before jumping off of the rooftops to the ground below.
"Where are we going?" Mart asked as they hid in an alleyway.
"Chop, scan for the nearest sewer hatch. We've got to find cover," Hera ordered Chopper before he activated the transmitter as it began to spin around as it made a chirping sound before taking his right metal arm out and pointed it forward as he grunted as he began to roll in the direction ahead of them as Hera and Mart ran around the corner as they followed the astromech.
As they ran across the streets, Mart noticed Rukh following them from the rooftops and fired the E-11 blaster rifle that he took from one of the stormtroopers that surrounded him when he crashed earlier at him and soon Hera did the same as the Noghri leaped from the rooftop of the building he was running on top of and onto the wall of a building across from him before hanging onto the awning of the building that he jumped from before jumping down to the ground in front of the rebels as he grabbed his electro-staff from his back and extended it as he activated it's electro-staff feature.
Rukh then used his electro-staff to knock the E-11 blaster rifle out of Mart's hands, disarming him before using his electro-staff to kick him towards Hera, causing her to drop her blaster pistol as Mart was knocked unconscious before he began to fight her with his electro-staff, while she fought him with her fists as she evaded his strikes before she soon hopped on his back, causing him to fall to the ground as he dropped his electro-staff and as she backed away from him before he went to strike at her again as he charged right at her as he grunted, only for her to evade his attack like before he charged his head at her stomach and picked her up and slammed her on the ground.
Mart regained consciousness as Rukh slammed Hera into the ground as the Noghri picked his electro-staff back up and reactivated its electro-staff feature and went to raise it over Hera, only for Chopper to shock him with his spark projector from behind, knocking him to his knees as Hera crawled away on her back as Mart, who picked the E-11 blaster rifle back up and began firing it at Rukh, causing the Noghri to jump back onto the rooftops.
"Let's go, General," Mart said as he helped Hera back up before picking her blaster pistol back up and handed it back to her before they left the area.
Meanwhile back with Kanan, he was speeding down the highway on his speeder bike when suddenly the white Loth-wolf appeared in the distance and switched the speeder bike's brakes on as he sensed the white Loth-wolf, only to crash into the white Loth-wolf and flew off of the speeder bike and landed on his stomach in the distance.
"Where are you?" Kanan asked the white Loth-wolf as he stood back up as the street lamps along the highway in the distance turned themselves off as he began walking back to his speeder bike, "I don't have time for this! If you want to help, fine. Otherwise, stay out of my way," he sat back on his speeder bike's seat, only to be greeted by the white Loth-wolf, who growled slowly as it sat down as it appeared right next to him, "What do you want?"
"Dume," the white Loth-wolf answered as the other two Loth-wolves appeared behind Kanan.
"I understand," Kanan said as he removed his mask from his eyes, "What must I do?"
"Chopper, where's that hatch?" Hera asked Chopper as she and Mart hid behind a wall behind Chopper grunted a response as he saw an AT-DP and stormtroopers in front of the hatch he found earlier with the AT-DP standing on top of the hatch, "Don't tell me. That's the hatch."
"Got any other options?" Mart asked her.
"There's no time for anything else. They're closing in," Hera told him, "We're going to have to have to get that thing to move." She then stepped forward and saw a landspeeder nearby as she turned back towards him, "You're good at distractions."
"I am?" He asked her with confusion in his voice.
"You are now," she answered and with that, he walked out into the street to get the stormtroopers' attention, while she hid behind the wall.
"Hey, I heard you guys are looking for rebel pilots," Mart told the stormtroopers, who looked at each other before aiming their E-11 blaster rifles at him, "Looks like you found one."
"Don't move!" One of the stormtroopers ordered Mart, only for the teenage rebel to fired his E-11 blaster rifle at him and knocked him to the ground before Mart ran from the blaster bolts from the other stormtrooper's E-11 blaster rifle as he fired it at him as Mart hid behind a wall away from the stormtroopers.
"This is LS-757. We've spotted a rebel in sector 5-1-5," the other stormtrooper said as he activated his helmet's comlink before he and the AT-DP began to go after Mart.
"Get that hatch open, Chop!" Hera ordered Chopper as she began running towards the landspeeder as Chopper jumped off of the rooftop above as he activated his rocket booster and landed on top of the hatch and took out his scomp link as he rolled over to the astromech port near the hatch and began to rotate it around within the astromech port as Hera hopped into the landspeeder and powered it on.
"The stormtrooper and AT-DP continued to look for Mart as he hid behind a container before he snuck up on the stormtrooper and hopped on his back as he placed his arms around his neck as he backed away into a corner before falling on the ground as within seconds of falling onto the ground, Mart snapped the stormtrooper's neck, killing him instantly as he stood back up as the AT-DP turned around with Mart noticing and began to fire his E-11 blaster rifle at it as Hera piloted the landspeeder towards and crashed it at the legs of the AT-DP, which then began toppling to the ground as it shattered the landspeeder's windshield before Hera hopped out of the landspeeder and began to climb up the AT-DP's pod as she held her blaster pistol in her hand.
"Go, go! I'll catch up!" Hera told Mart as the hatch of the AT-DP's pod opened up with the combat driver exiting the pod as Hera fired a stun blast at him from her blaster pistol, knocking him unconscious as he slumped out of the hatch as he fell to the ground.
Chopper grunted as Mart ran past him as he finally opened the hatch and with that, Mart began to climb down the ladder as Hera appeared in the distance as she began running towards them when suddenly Rukh jumped down from the rooftops above them and began running towards her.
"Hera, behind you!" Mart said, calling out to the Twi'lek, informing her of Rukh, only for the Noghri to jump onto her before she knocked him forward and went into a fighting stance as he jumped t, only to knock him aside before he went to punch her, only for her to punch him back and then he punched her again, knocking her to the ground, Mart then went to climb back up the hatch to help her but stopped as soon as he saw two Imperial TX-225 GAVr 'occupier' combat assault tanks roll by on both sides of the street.
"Go! That's an order!" Hera ordered both Chopper and Mart as she stood back up before Mart began to climb down the ladder as Chopper reactivated his rocket booster and grunted as he hovered over the hatch as an Imperial patrol transport appeared in the sky with its spotlight being shined over Hera, "I said go, Chop!" SHe then kneeled down and fired a blaster bolt at the astromech port, causing the hatch to begin to close shut as he fell through the hatch before stormtroopers rushed over to the hatch as Rukh grabbed his electro-staff and knocked her to the ground with it before picking her up and placed her on her knees as the Imperial patrol transport landed in front of them with its door sliding open with half of it sliding upwards and the other half downwards as it formed a couple of steps before Governor Pryce walked down the Imperial patrol transport's steps with her arms behind her back as Rukh aimed his electro-staff at Hera's back as the stormtroopers that were in the Imperial patrol transport walking out of the ship with Pryce as Hera stood back up as Rukh removed his electro-staff from the Twi'lek's back for a second before aiming it at her back again, "Governor Pryce, I've so wanted to meet you."
"Such a small victory," Pryce muttered as she pulled an RK-3 blaster pistol from her tunic's holster and fired a stun blast at her, knocking Hera unconscious as she collapsed to the ground.
"I hope this hatch isn't locked," Mart muttered to himself as he climbed up the ladder to another hatch with Sabine and Satele's Starbird painted on it before it opened up from the outside and saw Kanan standing over him as he had his mask back over his eyes.
"Come on. Let's get you out of here," Kanan said as he went to help him up.
"Kanan," Mart said as the blind Jedi Knight helped him up and out of the hatch as Chopper flew up with his rocket booster, grunting as he landed on top of the hatch as it sealed back shut.
"I know she did, Chop. I know," Kanan told Chopper, telling the astromech that he knew that Hera got herself captured so they could escape.
"Kanan, I'm so sorry," Mart said, apologizing for letting his girlfriend get captured by the Empire.
"It's all right, Mart. There's nothing you could have done," Kanan assured him, "But there is something I can do." They then climbed onto the speeder bike and drove away on the highway with the white Loth-wolf watching as it growled softly.
