CHAPTER THREE
THE BATTLE



MORTEKAI
But perhaps our greatest achievement...
​



MORTEKAI
The power to connect our minds with the Force.
​


MORTEKAI
To think together.
​

ATLAS ORA
Julius, this is shrouded with darkness.
​

MORTEKAI
Dark. Unnatural.
That is what the Jedi tell themselves
when they don't agree with something.
ATLAS ORA
There are dark forces in the galaxy-​
MORTEKAI
- That the Jedi don't know and refuse to understand.

ATLAS ORA
We're the protectors of peace and justice.
MORTEKAI
Yes, precisely!
You've deemed yourselves the judges of the galaxy,
yet the galaxy is dying.
ATLAS ORA
There's been peace for forty thousand generations.

MORTEKAI
Peace? By whose standards? The Jedi's?
Worlds have crumbled. Species, exterminated.
For your own benefit.
ATLAS ORA
We've provided freedom-
MORTEKAI
- Those who cannot speak for themselves are not free.

MORTEKAI
You are all students of the Jedi.
You've studied the histories of the galaxy,
the legends...

MORTEKAI
You've heard the prophecies of a Chosen One.

MORTEKAI
One who will bring...

MORTEKAI
Balance to the Force.

ATLAS ORA
How?

MORTEKAI
I will save the galaxy... from the Jedi.

ATLAS ORA
Julius Ora, you are under Federation arrest
as an agent of darkness.

MORTEKAI
So shall it be.



ATLAS ORA
Stand down!


MORTEKAI
You have made your final mistake, Atlas Ora.
You should not have come here.


DARK DISCIPLES
Kill.














ATLAS ORA
Nngh!






















MORTEKAI
I kept it all these years.

ATLAS ORA
You don't deserve it.​






MORTEKAI
I'm not very skilled with a lightsaber.
You will forgive me.





ATLAS ORA
Curse you and your tricks!

MORTEKAI
There's so much more to the Force than fighting with lightsabers.
Something you Jedi have forgotten during your reign.










KIARA
Master!

ATLAS ORA
Kiara, stay back!
Breathe. Focus. Trust the Force.​















ATLAS ORA
Sorry, brother.
