Synopsis:
On Coruscant, Xizor meets with Inquisitor Tremayne,
trading him the captured Selonian Jedi Zonder for making
sure that Vader views a holorecording Xizor wants him to
see. Tremayne then interrogates and tortures Zonder,
which brings Vader through his cries and the Force.
Vader is given Zonder’s affects (including the
recording). He allows Zonder’s situation to be
transmitted, which lets Ekria and Drake Lo’gaan view
the scene as Vader kills Zonder in combat. Vader then
views the recording, which shows Baron Orman Tagge
trying to basically take Vader's place of power with the
Emperor, which allows Vader to see Tagge as a rival,
pitting them against each other, which feeds into Xizor’s
own bid for power. Vader has the recording destroyed and
offers help to Tremayne in bringing Drake back to him
alive. Vader then contacts the troopers Bly and Galle,
who were with the Jedi on Felucia during Order 66. They
report on the survival of Ekria and Drake, then help
track them, even as the two Jedi hunt down Vader,
finding him on a landing platform. Drake leaps to the
platform and strikes at Vader, but Vader’s Noghri
bodyguards subdue him and bring him aboard Vader’s
shuttle.
Vader uses lies about the “Jedi coup attempt” on
Drake, then takes Drake with him when he visits Orman
Tagge at TaggeCo, even as Ekria has followed them and is
undercover at the office. Vader Force chokes Tagge for
his ambitions, but rather than killing him, he blinds
the man. As he does so, Ekria yells out, attacking them.
This frees Drake, but Ekria takes many blasts. Drake
then duels Vader, only to find himself stabbed and
falling to his presumed death. In the aftermath, Vader
believes them both to be dead, but Ekria had arranged
much of the whole scenario, allowing her to fake her own
death and save Drake from falling. They return to
Selonia to give Zonder a proper burial, then, knowing
they are listed in official records as deceased, Ekria
and Drake are Jedi no more. |
