Synopsis

With Cade being one of the most hunted men in the galaxy, it’s time to get lost and relax or is it?

Cade, Blue, and Syn are relaxing and playing having just arrived Cade’s Uncle Bantha Rawk’s place. While Syn plays with the kids, Micah, Ahnah, and Skeeto, Cade and his Uncle Bantha go to his uncle’s workshop to discuss the previous events in Cade’s life. After his uncle is all caught up, we find out that his uncle’s real name is or was Nat Skywalke, and his uncle discusses everything he knows about Cade’s Mother, Morrigan Corde. Before they rejoin the others his uncle tells Cade how important family is, and how his wife Droo and the kits are everything to him.

There lovely dinner is broken up when they see the slaughter that had happened on Dac broadcasting on the news. Followed by a report seeking the known terrorist Cade Skywalker. At this Cade decides it is time to leave because he has put his uncle’s family in danger, especially with the Black Sun spotting his ship on arrival, but Rawk will not allow this. He points out how Cade has no plan like always and that his ship is unique and easily recognizable. Rawk instructs everyone not to panic and not to be afraid, and that they will discuss everything in the morning.

In the middle of the night Cade gets out of bed, telling Blue that he can’t sleep, and proceeds out to his ship to find his stash of deathsticks. Luke and Kol Skywalker appear through the force to talk Cade out of using the deathstick to quite the force, but instead to use jedi methods such as meditation. Cade yells at his father for never coming back to him before seven years and Kol explains how all the deathsticks Cade was taking kept him away. Cade won’t have it and takes a deathstick to relax and lose the ghosts.

After a while of feeling happy from the deathstick, Cade gets kicked in the face. It is the unnamed figure that followed him all the way there, pointing a blaster at Cade. Cade’s uncle Rawk then appears and uses the force to take the blaster from the unnamed assailant. The assailant then force throws a big object at Rawk, which he dodges, only to have a lightsaber drawn in his face. Rawk then disarms the assailant and she concedes with Rawk pointing the lightsaber at her. The assailant is then revealed to be Azlyn Rae, former jedi apprentice with Cade, whom he thought to be dead. They proceed inside to have a drink and Azlyn tells her story. How she escaped and then worked doing odd jobs, until she became a bounty hunter, which led her to hunt Cade. The long range scanners then go off warning that an Imperial Star Destroyer is approaching, and Cade, Blue, and Syn hide.

Captain Gurlock and stormtroopers had arrived and are now beating Rawk and Azlyn to find out about Cade’s Ship, as reported by the Black Sun. Azlyn uses he mind control over the captain to convince him that he was lied to, that Cade wasn’t there, and that the Black Sun needed to pay for lying.

Two hours later Rawk is telling Cade to disappear completely, Change everything, his name, ship, and friends. But Cade has is own plan, to KILL DARTH KRAYT! However Cade needs allies and says how he doesn’t trust Emperor Fel, doesn’t know about Admiral Stazi, and there are no Jedi. Rawk then says the later is not true. There is a hidden Jedi temple and he will take Cade there.

Azlyn is then revealed to be a double agent. While alone moving her ship she contacts the Imperial Knights to inform them of Cade’s latest plan, that of the hidden temple, and says she will send the coordinates when she knows them. The Imperial Knights are confident in Azlyn but are prepared if she turns against them.
