In retaliation, Deemis meets with fellow crime boss, Looti Vario, suspecting him as the culprit for the heist.

Maul’s team takes advantage of the intel and begins looting the Pykes at key junctures, causing distress for the Syndicate.

Meanwhile, Izara, having escaped Maul, contacts her master and the two of them inform Captain Lawson of where Maul and his gangsters have been lurking on Janix. Gathering a strike team, Lawson heads to confront Maul and his followers, arriving right when Izara and her Master Eeko-Dio Daki confront Maul elsewhere near Maul’s base of operations.

In the chaos, Rylee is captured by the Empire and taken for interrogation while Izara escapes Maul and runs- eventually finding her Master Daki and Rylee’s father. Together, the threesome comes up with a daring plan to recover Rylee from the Empire. Meanwhile, Maul and his Shadow Collective are located and attacked by the Empire, with Imperial Inquisitor Marrok joined by fellow Inquisitor, Eleventh Brother who together manage to slowly wear down Maul in a ferocious battle. But just before Maul can be defeated as he is backed into a cave, the former Sith uses his powers to tear the cave ceiling down on his attackers, managing to scare off the Inquisitors before collapsing in exhaustion.

But despite their stealth, they are hunted by the Inquisitors, Marrok and Eleventh Brother until a duel ensues and the Jedi, Maul, and the Mandalorian, Rook Kast, escape. But no sooner do they put distance between themselves and the Inquisitors do they run into a deadly and ominous black figure in the fog: Darth Vader himself.
Chapter 10: The Dark Lord
[Between 17 BBY and c. 13 BBY] Terrified by the dark figure looming before them, Maul, Eeko-Dio Daki, and Devon Izara all attack together in hopes of defeating the menace blocking their way. But despite their best attempts- and even with the help of Lawson and Rylee, the group is no match for the powerful figure determined to cut them down. Soon, they are separated with Two Boots, Lawson and his son racing on ahead while the Jedi and Maul continue to fight, managing to collapse rubble on Vader in order to flee. But their escape is short-lived when Dardth Vader catches them from the side, and his Inquisitors catch Devon Izara from up ahead. The duels that ensue are more ferocious than any before- and turn even darker when Maul betrays Master Daki, leaving the Jedi to be impaled through the chest by Vader’s blade. Maul then rescues Izara from the Eleventh Brother, and she, Maul, and Rylee along with Two Boots manage to barely escape Janix and the Empire by boarding Dryden Vos’ starship, with Captain Lawson sacrificing himself for them to make their escape. Enraged by the loss of her master, Devon Izara declares she is ready for Maul to train her in the ways of the Dark Side.
