Right after the Flood emergency was dealt with, the group has a conversation at the CHS parking lot.

The girls were gathered in a circle around Flash. After all, he is the man of the moment, but Sunset then realizes that Sunlight is excluded, but she seems to be ok with it, but not for Sunset, who indicates Sunlight to join in, she seemed to decline it, but Sunset insisted, with a smile of resolution, Sunlight then joins the group and with a friendly voice, she says.

"So... Flash, no hard feelings?" Asked Sunlight, as she seems a bit ashamed of the question itself, but she has to make sure that there won't be any problems from now on. Flash then sheathes his blade and with a compassionate smile he replies. "Why would I? Despite your past actions, you showed true determination to help everyone, and as Chief once said: Regardless of our past, what truly matters it's if you can do the right thing from where you're now."

Sunlight gives a thankful smile, probably, things won't be so bad from now on, she thought. Rainbow Dash then puts her hand on Sunlight's shoulder and pulls Sunlight towards her and says. "You were AWESOME back there! How you threw the exploding machine and then fiercely fought against those monsters by her own! Haha.. I feel a bit jealous of your fighting skills if I'm honest."

Sunlight then blushes, she's still not used to compliments and with a nervous voice she says. "T-Thanks, but I-I wasn't very outstanding, you were the ones who truly stood out." Said Sunlight as she takes off Rainbow Dash's arm gently.

"You should give more credit to yourself, after all. It was thanks to you that we managed to destroy that hive thing, or whatever it was." Said Applejack with a smile, Twilight then interrupts everyone with a question. "Wait! What are we going to do now? Everyone in the city saw how the Flood attacked them, plus we have to explain that all the missing people were consumed by the Flood to become part of the Proto-Gravemind, how are we going to do it?"

Everyone acknowledges Twilight has a point, the whole city was victim and witness of a Flood outbreak, probably the whole world would be concerned about this, so they need to address this issue the best possible way. Suddenly, a Razorback arrives and from it, the Blue Team hops off it. "Is everyone ok?!" Asks a concerned Chief as he draws his gun, despite not having their armors, they're ready to fight.

"Yeah, it was difficult... but we made it." Replied Sunset with a relieved smile, she then moves away and reveals Flash, who only smiles, Chief's face seems shocked but also, happy... he then runs along with his team and hugged him, and for the first time after a long, long time... Chief laughed of joy, along with his team.

"Can you please... release me?" Said Flash as he struggles to breathe by Chief's tight hug. "Oh! Sorry... I got carried away, hahaha." Said Chief as he puts Flash down. "You were missed, kid, we needed your help calming the waters around here." Said Fred as he pats him, Kelly then hugs him tightly with affection as Linda only gives him a long hug.

"Sunlight..." Said Chief as he noticed Sunlight was also there, he thought that she has always been in this world since they returned from hell, "... How did you end up meeting with them?" Asks Chief, curious about the scene, Sunlight... teamed up with the girls, which is something surprising even for him.

"Well... let's just say I have some bad news... really bad news." Said Sunlight, as she looks away, she thinks that what she's done is something that probably has doomed a lot of people. "What... kind of bad news?" Asks Flash, he just woke up like an hour ago and had to fight against one of the greatest threats in the multiverse, but also now there's another threat?

"Does the name... Darth Vader... reminds you of something?" Asks Sunlight, a bit ashamed, Chief remembers that name, but he seems confused. "That was Galen's previous master, what happened?" Replied Chief, Sunlight then takes long breath and says. "Kylo and Starkiller managed to bring him back, they used me to help them. And... I can say with total certainty that... THAT man... is on a whole other level... one I don't think none of us can reach on our own."

"Why do you say that?" Asks Rainbow Dash nervous of what she just heard, Sunlight then turns around and says. "The crystal I stole with dark magic was supposed to be able to create only three necklaces, but it managed to make a fourth one, and they hid it from my knowledge. So when Darth Vader appeared, he received a necklace from Kylo. He then unleashed all that power and... I was... scared. as I saw him... killing all the Resistance troops at that base, they were hundreds... and he killed them so... easily." Said Sunlight as she remembers the events, for once in a long... long time, Sunlight felt nothing but fear towards Vader.

"Where?" Asks Chief, his expression suddenly changed from happy, to serious. "I don't know, it was like a dessert with rocks, then we entered a cave and there was a vortex that had the power to bring someone back from the dead." Replied Sunlight, that's the only information she knows, fortunately for her, Cortana interrupts and answers Chief question as she seems to search on a long list of archives. "Hmmm... the discovering of a world with those characteristics is in the UNSC's classified archive, which means why they haven't told us about it... oh... that's explains all of it. " Said Cortana as she finds the report regarding the discover of that world.

"What is it?" Asks Twilight as she sees the report, it seemed pretty normal, but it had a logo on top of it, it was a pyramid with a circle in it.

"O.N.I..." Said Chief with an angered voice, he doesn't seem any happy of seeing that logo. "Err... What is O.N.I...?" Ask Applejack as she scratches her head with confusion. "The Office of Naval Intelligence... but don't trust anything they say... they're a bunch of liars, hypocrites, cruel and above all of that, they love doing illegal operations." Replied Chief with disdain, he seems a bit angry.

"So they authorized an operation on another world regardless of the cons of it... and now we have another Sith Lord to deal with.... this is GREAT!!" Said Fred sarcastically, he also seems upset but not as much as Chief is, but Kelly interrupts the discussion and says. "Ok people... we can find solutions to it later, but now we have to check if everyone else's alright."

Linda then steps in as she ends a call and shares some information. "I've already called Jerome, Red, and Omega Teams were dispatched for this mission... Aura along with Galen and his apprentice joined the fight... casualties were kept at minimum and the civilians are now safe... but they're mostly confused and scared of what happened." Said Linda with a serious voice, she seems calm despite the sudden wave of events that just took place.

"Call them to rendezvous at the hideout, they've exposed themselves for a long time already and authorities will begin to suspect." Orders Chief with a serious voice, but he has a point, despite saving everyone... they've showed themselves to the world, it will only be a matter of time before the society begins to wonder who are they. Linda agrees and calls them, Chief heads to the Razorback and hops in.

"C'mon, we have to leave!" Said Chief aloud, after that, everyone takes their leave and heads to the rendezvous point, once there... everyone finally relaxes after the struggle, the Omega Team met with Chief at the basement, a portal opens and Leon says. "John, we have to leave... Captain Lasky suspects the Flood was the one behind the portals opening throughout the multiverse. Therefore, they also might have propagated to another universes."

"I got it... thanks for helping us Omega..." Chief then gives a brotherly hug to every member of the Omega Team, as they now took their leave through a portal, Chief returns to the living room and sees everyone tired, the girls seem to have fallen asleep except for Sunlight and Flash, who both seem a bit alert.

"Why are both of you so... energetic?" Asks Chief, both Flash and Sunlight are eating a sandwich, but their faces show two different sides, Flash seems to be enjoying the sandwich, while Sunlight seems to distract herself by eating the sandwich.

"I'm hungry, plus I just woke up like an hour and a half ago." Says Flash as he takes another bite. "I'm overthinking stuff." Says Sunlight as she eats the whole sandwich in a few bites. "And the Red Team?" Asks Chief as he looks around, Aura then comes downstairs with a towel around her neck, she seems to be right out of the shower. "They're taking a shower, and also does Rarity... thankfully, this house has plenty of bathrooms, so we don't have to wait for your turn." Said Aura wearing her pajamas as she dries her hair and heads to the lab.

"Good thing there's one for each bedroom." Said Chief with a low voice as he now takes a seat on the dinner table, he then begans to think about what happened, "I could've done something, if I hadn't gone to that road trip, I would've been here and therefore, the Flood wouldn't have reached the civilians." Thought Chief, despite being a situation that escaped his knowledge and control, he blames himself for not being here.

"John, stop that... it won't make you any good to think that way" Said Galen as he rubs his eyes, despite being tired, he could sense Chief's self-blaming thoughts. "Master's right, there isn't anything you could've done to stop this... nobody knew something like this would happen... literally... NOBODY." Said Rey as she stands up and stretches her back and heads to the kitchen.

"Did you... sense it?" Asks Chief with a serious voice, suddenly changing the conversation topic, Galen then opens his eyes and stands up, he heads to the table and both him and Rey take a seat. "About... Vader?" Asks Galen with a serious expression, he's as much concerned about this as Chief is, Rey is the only one who seems more confused than the rest. "How can there be someone with such.... power?" Asks Rey as she looks to her master to find an answer, Chief also looks at Galen, as he is the only one that knows what Vader is capable of.

"*sighs* Darth Vader was... a former Jedi Knight... after reading some old archives from the Jedi Order... I found that his name back then was Anakin Skywalker, who was one of the greatest Jedis ever existed... but he turned to the dark side, becoming Darth Vader... one of the strongest Sith Lords the Galaxy has ever witnessed." Said Galen with a serious voice, the fact that Vader returned... is nothing but a great problem, one that if they don't deal with... would be their doom.

"And now he has a dark magic necklace, which means... more problems." Replied Sunlight with a pesimistic expression, she seems stressed for that situation, as she was part of the problem by helping them bringing back Vader. "Indeed... your dark magic works highly similar to the Dark Side of the Force, and if a Sith Lord manages to use that power... he can probably become twice as powerful." Replied Galen as he looks at Sunlight and he returns to his serious expression.

"And how can we stop it?" Asks Rey confused, if one Sith Lord can become so powerful... what can they do to stop at least one of them. "I have an idea..." Said Flash as he stands up from the couch, waking up Sunset, who was falling asleep next to him, but he gently helps her to lie down on the couch.

"...Back at the observatory, when we were fighting Sunlight and Starkiller... Tesla arrived using his super armor and he... seemed to be unable to use the Force against him... in fact, I recall Starkiller losing his cool after seeing that Tesla was inmune to his Force techniques." Said Flash with a serious voice, Galen seems a bit surprised... Inmune to the Force? That's impossible, he thought.

"How did he manage to achieve that?" Asks Galen as he tries to dissipate his doubts. "Oh! I remember..." Said Rey suddenly, it appears she was the one that helped Tesla with his experiment. "... Since you were unavailable Master, Mr. Tesla asked me if I could help him run some tests to understand how the Force works... and after many tries and errors... he managed to make a system to counter the way the Force works when we try to move people or objects... he named it... Force Repulsive Electromagnetic Shield Coil... or F.R.E.S.C." Said Rey, Galen seems a bit less confused, but the question remains.

"Maybe if we use that system in our suits, we might be able to have a chance of fighting them, since they won't be able to use the Force against us with combat-wise." Said Flash as Rey stopped explaining, probably that plan is the best one they have to fight Kylo, Starkiller and Vader. "Guess we can only hope for it work." Chief then stands ups and sees Aura that comes out of the lab, wearing her police uniform, she ties her hair as a pony tail and picks up her gun holster. "Mom... where are you going?" Asks Flash as he sees his mother puts on her jacket.

"Mayoress Mare wants a public explanation of what exactly just happened... and since I was on the field, she wants me to give the public speech." Said Aura as she heads to the door, but she's then interrupted by an hologram that appears right beside her... it's Captain Lasky, who catches Aura off guard and says.

"Sorry if I startled you people, but before you do something... wait just a bit, some people from O.N.I are heading to your location... so if you can be patient..." Lasky is then interrupted by Chief who asks with a rejection voice.

"What is O.N.I doing here?" Lasky then looks at Chief and replies. "*sighs* I know you don't like them at all Chief, neither do I... but Jerome told me there was a Flood outbreak on the world you're in... and whether we like it or not, these people KNOW how to come up with convincing stories to calm the population."

"But it's alright if we LIE to everyone, literally?" Asks Flash, he considers that probably there's another option, he doesn't think lying to everyone is a good solution. "Probably not... but... what else can we say? Hey! Sorry for frightening you to death but those monsters came from another universe and began to consume people to become smarter and they almost consume the whole city if it wasn't for the intervention of people from another universe and teenagers with magical powers? It doesn't sound any convincent if you ask me." Says Sunlight with an ironical voice, she thinks people would be much more frightened if they become aware of what truly happened.

"Sunset Shimmer's right, we can't afford panic to spread around this world, in any world if possible... Mrs. Sentry... you're a respected police officer, if you could lend us a hand in this affair... the situation might go smoother." Replied Lasky, he confused Sunlight with Sunset, which is something Sunlight noticed, but she rather keep her identity secret from anyone else other than the ones in this room.

"Fine... anyway, I had to give a public declaration at the town's hall, make your people meet me there, got it?" Asked Aura, she understands the situation, but she accepts reluctantly Lasky's deal, as she also doesn't like lying to everyone, but as Sunlight said, what other option do they have? Lasky agreed and Aura left the house, Chief then interrupts Lasky before he leaves, the door closing sound wakes up Sunset, who stands up as she rubs her eyes and heads to the kitchen, ignoring for a bit Captain Lasky's hologram.

"Captain... there's something we need to discuss." Said Chief with a serious voice, Lasky seems a bit surprised but he replies. "What is it, Chief?" Chief then looks at Sunlight, he reflects about what she told them and after a short while, Chief says. "There was a secret operation on a remote world, it was authorized by O.N.I and it led to the First Order invading it without being stopped and used the anomaly there to resurrect a bigger evil." Said Chief with a serious voice, Lasky's face seems like he has heard that again, he sighs and then says.

"Cortana... can you retrieve the latest report in the Resistance's emergency channel?" Cortana began to search as she was a bit surprised, that channel can only be used in case of a recent attack on a important location, but also... the report was in a private encryptation. "Why is it coded?" Asked Cortana as she begins to decrypt the report.

"Because General Dameron chose to keep this between a small circle of high officers while we figure out what to do regarding the exact same event Chief just mentioned." Said Lasky as now Cortana completely decrypted the report and displayed it for everyone, it was a gallery of images showing the First Order invasion, the Death Squad could be seen in those pictures, Kylo Ren, Starkiller and... Sunlight, but she was in a berserk state, her dark eyes were flowing with dark magic as she was killing many Resitance troopers, Sunlight is astonished as she sees the images of herself commiting such violent actions with a sadistic smile as traces of blood splatter over her face, Sunset returns from the kitchen and watches from the distance the images... she seems surprised, but she can see that's not Sunlight herself, but it's the dark magic that controls her.

Finally, a video footage appears, is from the control room, the Death Squad burst through the door, smoke blinds the Resistance officers, Purge Troopers come out of the smoke, taking cover and shooting down a few of the guards before they take cover, after that... Sunlight comes out of the smoke charging at high speed and killing the remaining Resistance personnel, after that Kylo Ren and Starkiller come out of the smoke, and the footage ends when Kylo places Darth Vader's helmet in the vortex.

"It appears not only they brought back an ancient evil, but also they got a new partner... do you know who it is?" Said Lasky as he zooms the footage and focuses on Sunlight, she is frightened of what will happen, she steps back as she wonders if they would give her away? Sunlight then feels someone touching her shoulder with softness, she turns looks back and sees Sunset smiling at her in a supportive way, Flash then agrees with his head in the same supportive way, Chief looks briefly at Sunlight and as he looks back at Lasky, he says. "No, Captain."

"Well... that leaves us in disadvantage, but it'll only be a matter of time for O.N.I to make her a high value target and you they'll send their hunters to chase her down... which would screw all our chances of having a tactical advantage against the First Order." Replied Lasky as he starts to think aloud.

"Got any orders for us, sir?" Asks Kelly, who comes downstairs, and she heard only the last part of the report. "Now I have... since O.N.I can carry out their secret operations... I'll carry out mine. Blue Team, find who is this new partner the First Order has, and if possible, try to convince her of helping us instead of the First Order, if it's not possible... then capture her and bring her into custody, probably she might know plans or strategies that might be useful to us." Said Lasky with determination.

"Consider it done, sir." Said Chief with a serious voice and after that, Lasky says goodbye and ends the call, after that Chief turns around and says. "Mission complete." Sunlight then exhales with relief, it appears stress is finally taking its toll on her, and as she smiles, she feels her body falling back and her eyes closing, right when she realized of it, it was too late, Sunset grabbed her before she fell to the ground. Sunlight was asleep, Sunset helps her get to the couch and sleeps along with the rest of the girls.

"It appears someone was giving out a Hail Mary right now." Said Kelly as she looks at Sunlight, whose tiresome practically made her fall asleep while standing. "Yeah, her situation is not the easiest one to handle, actually... I'm amazed of how she's been enduring all that's been happening." Said Sunset as she looks at Sunlight with a smile, she knows Sunlight is giving her all to make things right, and despite seems difficult, she's not giving up.

"She's determined to help, we can ask her about the First Order plans once she wakes up, but for now, lets give them some rest." Says Chief as he heads to the backyard and is followed by the rest, Banana runs towards Flash as soon as it sees him, and Flash picks it up and pets it, after that a familiar voice can be heard behind them.

"Would you look at that? Cantelot High's finest has returned!!" Flash turns around with a smile, it's Jerome, who's now with an open smile, both shook hands in a brotherly way, they hug each other after that and with a cheerful voice, Jerome says. "It's good to have you back, brother!"

"I was starting to miss you, bro!" Said Flash with a smile, after that, Chief tells them to lower their voice, as the girls are sleeping inside.

"Sorry, I got carried away." Said Jerome with a smile, everyone seems happy by the scene these two made, but Sunset seems a bit confused after seeing Jerome... it's like, she's met him before.

"Are you still melting hearts wherever you go?" Asks Flash with a smile, it's been a while since the last time he and Jerome had a normal chat like this one. "Hahaha... y'know the last time I was here was at that musical festival you invited me to." Said Jerome slightly laughing and giving Flash a weak brotherly punch.

"Where are Alice and Douglas?" Asks Kelly, wondering where's the rest of the Red Team. "They're borrowing some clothes, it's their first time not fighting here, so they don't have any casual clothing." Replied Jerome as he rubs his fist on Flash's head.

"Uhmm... Jerome, have we met before?" Asked a confused Sunset Shimmer, the feeling of seeing Jerome before is one that confuses her. "Nah, I don't think so... I've only been on social events three times in this world..." Jerome then begins to remember. "...Did you saw me in the mall at night during the Holidays?" Asks Jerome.

"No." Jerome seems a bit relieved. "Good, ok then... were you at the amusement park?" Asks Jerome, he's discarding optionsvia trial and error. "You mean Equestria Land? Yeah, I was there... but I don't recall seeing you there." Replies Sunset, she's still trying to figure out this matter.

"Then there's one last option..." Said Flash as he finds interesting this. "...The music festival." Replied Jerome, he seems a bit confused, as he doesn't recall seeing someone like Sunset during his staying on the festival. "Music Festival?" Asks Sunset confused, Flash then helps her understand what Jerome means.

"He means the Starswirl Music Festival, I invited him since John wasn't available." Says Flash, but Jerome remains with the doubt, he doesn't remember seeing anyone like Sunset Shimmer, then how does she remembers him, but he doesn't remembers her?

"Ok, now THIS... is weird... I left the festival right after I placed the beacon John told me to, and you weren't in the group of.... oh... I better... not say that." Says Jerome as he shrugs, Chief is now confused. "What did you do?" Asks Chief intrigued of what Jerome was about to say, but he rathers not say it, Sunset then has a realization.

"Were you wearing a denim jacket with a modern style?" Asks Sunset, Jerome seems now a bit surprised, but he hides it and says. "Pfft... many people wear denim jackets, you probably confuse me with someone else."

Sunset start to put the pieces together. "In the first day of the festival... two guys fell right in front of you, you helped them and said, ...save it for the bumping cars, didn't you?" Asks Sunset, Jerome now remembers, but... she wasn't there, then... how could she...

"Impossible! I know what I did the first day and you weren't there... not even in that moment and neither later... how do you know what I was doing?" Asks Jerome, who's now more confused than anything.

"Weird, you weren't this tall when we..." Sunset then remembers what happened that day, she was trapped in the time loop by the Time Twister and Twilight challenged her to... Sunset then steps back a bit, Jerome seems surprised and confused. "We what...? I have no idea what you're talking about." Sunset now feels a bit ashamed for bringing the subject to light, she silently goes with Flash and takes him to a private place.

"Is everything fine?" Asks Flash confused of Sunset's reaction, she then takes a deep breath and says. "Remember when I told you about the time I got stucked in a time loop?" Flash then agrees with his head and Sunset continues. "Well... I know is extremely awkward that I say this but, in order to prove Twilight's theory and as I was desperate to break the time loop... I...I..." Sunset can't say the word, Flash then places his hand on her shoulder in a supportive way, Sunset takes another deep breath and says ashamed. "I dated him... and now I feel bad about it." Sunset then slaps her face, expecting a negative response from Flash, whom only laughs aloud, confusing everyone including Sunset.

"Hahahah... but it was on the past, you've overcome it and now you have a great story to tell, c'mon, his reaction will be priceless." Said Flash with a smile as he takes Sunset's hand and both walk again with the group. What were you two mumbling about?" Asked Kelly with a smile, Jerome is now desperate to know the truth and Chief is enjoying this situation like no one can't imagine.

"So... it appears Sunset dated Jerome when she was stucked in a time loop." Said Flash with a humoristic tone, Jerome seems a bit relieved but he's then struck by what Flash said. "Whew, good thing it was a time loop, wait... DATE?" Asked Jerome surprised, Kelly laughed and Chief was making an effort not to laugh, but he couldn't contain it and let go a chuckle. "Sorry... that was *chuckle* immature, it *chuckle* wasn't funny... hahahahah!!!" Chief then began to laugh and so did everyone as they see him laughing for the first time, everyone except Jerome who's confused.

"Why are you laughing? Does my situation seem funny to you?" Asks an outraged Jerome, Chief then looks at him as he stops laughing and says. "Actually, ahaha.... yeah... haha, from all the dates you've had, this is the first one I see you so... amazed, hahahah!"

"Sunset, in our date what exactly did I tell you?" Asks Jerome with nervousness, Sunset then tries to remember and finally says. "Well... you said that you liked painting with watercolors, and also that you think ketchup is overrated." Jerome seems like he's facing his doom, he places his hands on his face and says. "Dammit, that's very personal."

"Do you think ketchup is overrated?" Asks Kelly surprised about the statement, Jerome then turns around and says. "I mean it has a good flavor but I dislike that people put ketchup on mostly every fast food when it tastes perfectly well without it." Replies Jerome, then Chief asks him. "Since when do you paint with watercolors?" Jerome looks at him and replies. "Since we arrived here... I wanted to have a hobby and painting seems to do the job... who do you think painted all the pictures around the house?" Asks Jerome with a proud face, but now he realizes what he's done.

Jerome looks at Flash with despair and says. "Flash, I'm sorry... I'm deeply sorry, I broke... the bro code." Flash only laughed and after placing his hand on Jerome's shoulder, he says. "You didn't break anything bro... it didn't happened at all."

"Hahahaha... finally you got what you deserved for being a pretty face." Said Chief as he controls his laugh, Kelly on the other hand, seems to struggle to stop laughing. "It was in a time loop Jerome... hahaha, you were only a possiblity in a million of other possibilities." Said Kelly as she finally stopped laughing, and she dries the tears that run down her eyes.

"See? would you say this is a bad outcome?" Said Flash to Sunset as he turned around. "Well... this really went better than I imagined, but let's leave that on the past, shall we?" Said Sunset with a friendly voice, she doesn't want that event to make their relationship any awkward.

"Please... that'd be the best option." Said Jerome as he calms down, despite the chaos that just happened, they seem to have a peaceful time whilst Aura is giving a speech at the town hall in front of all media, next to her are some agents from O.N.I.

"I know the fear we all went through yesterday, I feared for my companions' lifes, and despite being against all odds... it was our team work what helped us to overcome such a crisis, the people that helped us also played an important role... we were attacked by an unknown enemy, one that shared no other interest than terminate us all..." Aura then points at one of the O.N.I agents and says. "Thanks to the Office of National Security and their team, we managed to deal with this threat... but we don't know if it's going to come back, but one thing's for sure. We have to be stronger, that's why we exort our government to take more seriously these affairs, in order to not let something like this ever happen again.... I thank all of you citizens who are here today, and I give my deepest condolences to all those who lost someone cherished by this... monster, I know a sorry won't bring them back... but those are the consequences of our careless actions... we have to move forward!!" Aura then steps back with a serious expression, she can't believe what she just said.

Mayoress Mare then takes Aura's place and begins to answer the press's questions, whils Aura and the O.N.I agents leave the zone by an alley. "You did it good Lieutenant, let's only wait for the population to understand it." Said one of the agents with a serious voice, Aura can't take it any longer and confronts them. "They're not fools! How long do you think it will take them to realize it's a fake story?!" Claimed Aura with slight traces of anger.

"We're aware of your concern Lieutenant, but you must also know that despite their efforts to uncover the truth, they won't find anything... we've already sent teams with the specific mission of cleaning any trace that leads them to finding the truth, so they'll have to conform with the truth you told them, since there won't be any other version." Replied another agent, as they head back to her house, Aura feels guilty for the lie she just said, despite going against her morals, she had no other option if she wanted to preserve peace.

In another universe, a Star Destroyer seems to navigate through the void of space, Kylo and Vader train while Starkiller only watches them, Kylo seems heavily wounded, multiple cuts around his body and blood splattered on the ground show the cruelness of a Sith's training, Kylo can't stand due to his wounds and he tries to catch his breath, but he seems to fail.

"Embrace that pain, use your anger to fuel you, use the hatred against your enemies to gather the strength and stand... up!" Said Vader as he ignites his lightsaber. Kylo manages to stand with effort, but anger can be seen in his face, he then picks his lightsaber with the Force and ignites it and cahrges against Vader, Kylo's sword skills seem to be at the same level as Vader's, they clash their crimson blades and stand face to face.

"Why did you recruit that girl? Her rebel behavior might be your doom." Said Vader as he pushed Kylo away with the Force, Kylo falls to the ground and as he stands up, he says.

"I have measures to deal with he rin case she rebels against me..." Kylo then charges agains and after trading swings of their blades and clash again, Kylo said. "... I'm only waiting for the moment to come." and they engage combat again, but as they clash their blades with their swings, Vader uses an opening in Kylo's guard and punches him right in the face, making him lose balance, and with the Force, Vader slams Kylo with the ground.

"Very well then..." Vader then turns off his lightsaber and helps Kylo getting up. "In combat, you must always check on your flaws and create tactics to make your enemy confident about abusing of your blind spot and then you can strike them down." Said Vader with a serious voice, despite being cold and mercyless, he seems to be a good teacher.

"Noted." Said Kylo as he breaths heavily, Vader then says. "Get yourself healed, we'll be leaving soon." As Vader leaves the training room, Kylo and Starkiller seem confused about that. "Where?" Asked Starkiller with a serious voice, Vader stops right before the door, he turns around and says. "We're heading to Exegol." After that, Vader left, leaving his apprentices confused of what he means, Kylo remembers that place, it's where he killed Darth Sidious permanently and he found Starkiller's cryogenic capsule, but... what else could there be on that wretched planet? Thought Kylo as the door closes.
