Iolande watched as Vader walked out of the ship, her hands gripping the saber tightly, but shaking at the same time. Behind Vader, she saw Valka walking slowly behind him, an eerie grin printed on her face. Vader turned to look at Ahsoka. "So it is true." He said. "The apprentice is indeed still alive." Ahsoka's chest was rising and lowering fast. "And you are still a monster." She replied. Valka turned to look at Island's x-wing, her grin growing bigger. "I'm afraid you're transport will no longer be useful to you." Without warning, she rose her arm and a beam of green force-lightning hit the vessel, destroying it.

Iolande gasped at the sudden display of power. "A nightsister!" she whispered with fear. "Nightsister?" asked Valka, making the sergeant jump. "No, they have been extinct for almost twenty years. I am just a simple dathomiri witch, once an apprentice of Daka, now padawan of Darth Vader." She replied. Vader approached at Ahsoka, his mask hiding his expression of hatred and fury, until he was directly facing her. "This time I will make sure you stay dead." He swung his saber with a flick of his wrist and Ahsoka blocked it, she responded by attempting to stab him in the stomach, a strike he dodged. They were soon locked in duel.

Iolande turned towards Valka and pointed Kieran's saber a her. The dathomiri created a ball of green fire, which transformed into a lightsaber-like sword. Iolande cursed under her breath and kept her position. With a yell, Valka striked the pantoran with so many strength that she was able to throw her off balance. Iolande attempted to behead her, only for Valka to ducked and trip her. She moved on to stab her, until Iolande rolled out of the way, making the witch stab the ground. Iolande went on to attack her, but it proved useless, Valka was very powerful for her, and Iolande could do nothing but to concentrate on defensive positions rather than offensive ones.

She continued to fight the dark witch, but it was more than obvious that she was no match for her. Valka had received training from a sith lord, and was also very gifted with magic, which made her even more dangerous. Both women were fighting with all they had, their sabers actually looked like blurs of blue and green due to the ferocity of the duel. Finally, Valka gained the upper hand. She shot a beam of lightning at the soldier, who crouched to avoid it, and proceeded to telekinetically lift Iolande two feet in the air and stamp her on the ground, injuring her and even making her bleed.

As Iolande lay on the floor, she took a glance at Ahsoka, who was still fighting Vader, crouching and blocking swings from the sith. Although she was more talented than herself, Ahsoka also tried to repel her former master with no avail, not to mention the fact that the togruta was weaker than before and had less chances of surviving. Iolande turned her head and saw as Valka approached her slowly. She tried to stand, but was telekinetically pressed to the ground. "Pity." Said Valka softly. "So young and you will move into the Afterlife." She rose her sword ready to strike her down permanently, but out of the sudden a white lightsaber blocked her attack. 

Iolande looked up to see Ahsoka shielding her from Valka with all the strength she had left. Vader got closer and tried to kill his former padawan while she was distracted, but she was able to pin point him and also block him. She tried hard, however, the dark lords were too strong and they slowly started to force Ahsoka on her knees. Just as everything seemed lost, Island's comlink started beeping. She looked up and had a clear view of the Ghost, which flew down sky and blew up Vader's shuttle with several blasts. Valka also raised her view and fired a beam at the ship, which evaded it.

Iolande took advantage of the witch's distraction and kicked her in the ankle, making her scream in pain, which allowed Ahsoka to force-push both her and Vader backwards. The Ghost descended and the ramp lowered, with Luke and Ezra standing on it. "Come on, quick!" screamed Luke. Iolande and Ahsoka jogged towards the ramp and as soon as they reached it, gave them a slight push on their backs to help get in the ship, before entering themselves. "They are on board Hera." said Ezra as soon as the ramp closed. "Very well. Hold on tight, we are about to enter Hyperspace." In a few seconds, the Ghost went out of the atmosphere and made the jump to Hyperspace.
