Raxus Prime, Raxus System.
The Rogue Shadow entered the planet's atmosphere and from there, the crew took in the sight that beholden them.
Raxus Prime was a grim, twisted word of desolate junk, and Varius Freighters, scavenging through it, it was nothing like its sister world Raxus Secundas, with its Ongoing green fields and sparkling lakes and Oceans.
Even the Orbital lanes of the planet were filled with Junk, Which seemed to float in their way as if supposed against them like broken puppets.
And in the distance, they could see Five Slender Towers off in the distance, sticking out of the Piles of Junk like a surreal tribute to the past, the Tallest of the Five, had a boxy structure near its tip, while the other four were simpler, less ornate.
"Amazing…" Juno breathed. "It looks exactly like the Imperial Palace on Coruscant."
"PROXY, Are you picking up any communications?" Starkiller asked.
"Too many to decipher. PROXY Said, straining his Coms. "I can hear thousands of Droids, all calling out to each other, as if it were a desperate call for distress." The Holo-Droid let out a shudder as he gazed out into the vast sea of scrap. "This is where droids go to die…"
"And the Target?" Starkiller pressed.
"The voices give us no leads to him." PROXY replied, shaking his head.
"Set us down as close to that structure up ahead." The Dark Assassin ordered his Co-Pilot.
"I'll do my best." Juno replied. "There are a few clearings, You'll need to approach it on foot."
Starkilled nodded, as Juno flew The Rogue Shadow, Over a large deposit of scrap and junk.
Meanwhile,
As the Ghost, Still connected to the Imperial Transport, was hoisted up to the Star Destroyers Hanger, Allowing Agent Kallus and his men to board and be greeted by an Imperial Officer.
"Welcome aboard Agent Kallus." He said formally as the Imperial Agent walked past with his Stormtroopers. "The Rebels are headed for the Brig, Where quite the surprise awaits them."
In another part of the ship, Kanan and Zeb quietly snuck their way to an apparent cell, where the Wookies were supposedly being kept.
"No guards on the door." Kanan noted, as he and Zeb hurried up to it.
"Now set the Detonators, So we can get the Wookies out of there!" Zeb said, As Kanon began rigging the control panel to blow, They were both unaware however, that a contingent of Stormtroopers were on the other side, waiting to strike.
Suddenly, Ezra came running in. "It's a trap! We gotta get out of here, It's a trap!"
"Karabast!" Zeb cursed. "The kids blowin another op-"
"It's not an op!" Ezra insisted. "It's a trap! Hera sent me to warn you!"
Suddenly the door behind them opened and the Stormtroopers poured out.
"Run!" Cried Ezra, As he Kanan and Zeb booked it, Ezra firing an Electric Ball from his Slingshot, Back at the Stormtroopers, hitting the Consol next to them and blowing them up, He quickly followed Kanan and Zeb down the Hall.
"We have to warn Sabine and Chopper." Ezra added as they ran. "But they've jammed the Coms."
"They'll follow the plan, They'll be fine." Kanan Reassured.
Meanwhile, Sabine and Chopper were fiddling with the ship's controls, With Chopper grumbling the whole time.
"Chopper." Sabine said exasperated. "Stop grumbling and work that gravity generator!"
Chopper just scoffed.
Back with Ezra, Kanan and Zeb, they continued running down the Hall, Until they spotted Agent Kallus and his Stormtroopers right before them.
"Don't stop!" Called Kanan, As the Imperials came straight at them, and Vice Versa, While Sabine punched in the final commands. "I've got the backup ready."
"Push off now!" Kanan ordered, and at the same time…
"Now!"
Everything turned Yellow in the Hall as the Gravity was lifted and both Rebels and Imperials were left floating in the air.
"W-What's happening?!" Asked Kallus desperately.
Kanan fired a shot, Hitting a Stormtrooper as Kallus fired back, Zeb pushed Ezra head down to avoid it, The Latter than lept onto his back as they sailed forward, while Kanan kicked a Trooper, Fired more shots from his Blaster and allowed Zeb to barge through the remaining Imperials.
Back with Sabine, She and Chopper were also Suspended.
"Artificial Gravity is down for two minutes." She said, as she placed some detonators on the whole control room, She then grabbed onto Chopper as they flew away, leaving the room behind rigged to blow.
Kallus continued to pursue the Rebels, even with the loss of Gravity, as Kanan, Zeb and Ezra cruised forward.
"You doing okay kid?" Kanan asked Ezra, who had let go of Zebs back by now.
"You kidding?!" Ezra asked, but he yelped and swam forward to avoid Kallus, Meanwhile, Sabine and Chopper got to a secure place and started a countdown.
"Five… Four… Get ready." She counted down. "Two… One…"
But before she could hit the kill switch, The artificial Gravity switched back on, dropping everyone to the floor, Kanan, Zeb and Ezra quickly ran up to Sabine and Chopper.
"Where are the Wookies?" Sabine asked.
"No Wookies." Kanan grunted. "Sabine, Man the nose gun, Chopper, tell Hera to take off!"
As the crew quickly scrambled to exit, Ezra suddenly found himself in a stranglehold by Agent Kallus, Two Stormtroopers got in front and fired upon the retreating Rebels, Zeb turned around and aimed his Bo-rifle at them, but he hesitated.
"Kid! Get out of the way!" Zeb called out.
"Ugh, I'm trying!" Ezra screamed as he struggled, Zeb was forced to take cover as the Stormtroopers continued to fire.
"Sorry Kid!" Zeb called out, a look of sorrow on his face. "You did good…"
And the door slammed shut, while Ezra just stared on with a look of hopelessness.
Back on the ghost, Hera punched in the coordinates.
"There! Airlock shut." She said, as the Ghost detached from the Transport. "Chop, jam their tractor beam, We're out of here!"
Chopper raced off to obey, As the Ghost began their escape.
"Attention Rebel ship." An Imperial voice called out on the coms. "Surrender or be destroyed, This is your first and last warning!"
"Blow it out your exhaust port, Literally!" Hera scoffed, as she called Sabine, Who threw the killswitch on the Detonators she left on the bridge, causing them to explode and take the whole transport with it, right under the Star Destroyer!
"Ah! I can't see it from here!" She cried. "How'd it look?"
"Gorgeous Sabine, As always." Said Kanan, as he stared on from the rotary turret, Hera punched in the coordinates and the Ghost made the jump to lightspeed.
Meanwhile, back on Raxus Prime.
The Rogue Shadow hovered over a small patch of land, as the landing port of the ship opened, allowing Starkiller to jump out and land on the ground, as Juno spoke over the coms.
"I'm returning to low orbit." She announced. "Scanners how you'll need to make it through all that debris, Until you reach the Large Hyperdrive core between you and the junk temple, It will take you five days to get there though, Make sure to check in every twelves hours, But once you get through the large core, You will have reached the Junk Temple, Good Luck."
As the Rogue Shadow flew off, Starkiller groaned.
"Five Days?!" He asked himself. "Mother of Moons, This was going to be uncharacteristically long…"
He sighed and began his long trek through the junk of Raxus Prime.
