Vader returns with a gift for the emperor. The corpse of Carbon. The emperor asks if the wounds on him were made by a lightsaber. Vader says the Emperor wished for him to prove himself, then give him a worthy opponent.
The Emperor commands Vader to reinforce the newly crowned queen of Sho-Turun.
Using the force and his skills with a lightsaber Vader quickly neutralizes the uprising rebels. Vader turns to the Void Gazer, one of his "replacements" whom the Emperor sent with him to back Vader up. Vader tells her to use her droids to destroy the ceiling of the mine, she dumps molten lava on the building. The queen, upset, tells Vader that the building was an ancient piece of history that will never be replaced again. Vader shows no remorse.
Silo awaits their return and asks Vader if Void Gazer did well. Vader responds she was adequate. The queen demands to know Vader's plan. Vader states that he will give them time to surrender if not he will kill more of them. The queen starts to argue, but Vader leaves.
She storms after him and they discuss the fact that Vader needs to respect her. They come to an agreement. She leaves and Vader turns to address the reason he had entered the room.
There is a hologram of bounty hunters. Vader tells them he wants Doctor Aphra brought back dead or alive.
The rebels do not take Vader's threat seriously and a large vessel rises out of the magma. A man, trying to escape, demands that Vader, the queen and the twins join Vader on the ship. The twins are two more of Silo's creations. Vader kills the man and jumps to the vessel telling the twins to join him before cutting a hole into the side of it. They kill everyone inside of it then start attacking the core. The twins and Vader board the ship they had brought while the vessel sinks back into the lava.
Vader declares that the rebels have made their position clear and he will kill them all. However, Silo has orders to make sure the Empire wins, not Vader.
Aelin approaches Vader requesting his help killing her brother and to train her. Vader tells her both of them will not live long.
Vader finds a bounty hunter he sent after Aphra. The bounty hunter tells Vader he has killed Aphra, Vader knowing better kills the bounty hunter.
Silo radios into the rebels saying if they work with him, he will gift them, Vader. That doesn't matter though as the dark lord, the twins and the queen's forces have already started their attack on the rebel base.
Vader lands his troops and discovers hundreds of troops ready to kill him, a trap set by Silo. Vader sends stormtroopers and the twins to begin the assault.
000 goes to the back of the ship to wake the droids. The droids begin firing on all the "fleshy" ones. Vader knows he can push back the troops and if the queen attacks now she will take the base, but his coms have been jammed.
Silo radios the queen telling her to pull back her troops. The queen wants to push the attack. the chancellor refuses so she arrests him and orders her men to push the attack.
Vader, having an idea, takes the twins away. Seeing their chance they attack him, but he foresees this and blocks them. Vader didn't trust them so he pulled them from the siege.
000, back at the siege, gives a rousing speech which leaves the droids cheering and the "meaty ones'" a little scared.
Back on the bridge, Vader pushes the twins back with one hand. Aelin sets off an explosive, separating them from Vader. She tells her brother they cannot defeat Vader, he proceeds to push her into the lava. He then leaves. Vader uses the force to pull Aelin out of the lava, he uses his cape to cool and soothe her pain. She tells Vader everything, then Vader kills her.
Vader returns to the siege to find all the soldiers have surrendered due to a fear of 000 and his droids.
Vader receives news that the queen's forces are still attacking, he joins the fight helping to win her the day. Vader comes across the leader asking him if he would like to dance.
The queen arrives ordering his execution.
Vader returns to his ship and prepares to return to the Emperor.
