After Order 66, few Jedi dare to venture outside the shadows—rumors of the dark and terrible Darth Vader haunting even their waking moments. Yet, some Jedi find this life of fear unbearable. The Empire is always watching, and Vader himself is eager to confront any Jedi that might bring him closer to the whereabouts of his betrayer, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
As Urizen turns to look at the onlookers, the Zygerrian picks up his whip and slings it towards the padawan. The shock whip cracks as it hits Uri's back. The Black Inquisitor armor absorbs most of the hit, but the padawan still feels the force of the weapon.
"Only one of us is leaving here and it's going to be me." The Zygerrian says as he begins to size up the padawan.
Uri lunges forward with a feint and catches the Zygerrian off guard with a quick jab and kick to the legs. He attempted a leg sweep, but the Zygerrian was able to stand his ground.

Uri's strike finds the Zygerrian's face and knocks him to the ground. His opponent is unconscious but not dead. Uri estimates that the Zygerrian could awake after a few minutes.
Half spent from that ordeal, Uri faces the observation window again, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Well, that was awkward. But look at that. Didn't need a weapon, see?" He raises his hands above his waist, palms open in a smug gesture. "Or the Force, I guess." He lowers his arms. "I thought you were going to teach me. But if you want this scum executed, then execute him. Being your gladiator is beneath me."
The Grand Inquisitor considers him important enough for the bacta tanks. And that means he's too important to kill. Surely?

The Grand Inquisitor listens to Uri and then turns to Chantique. Uri senses a wave of fear flow over her as she returns his gaze. The dark skinned Twi'lek, Chabak, grabs Chantique and forces her arm out in front of her. She struggles a little, but she cannot break free of Chabak's hold.
Uri watches as the Grand Inquisitor's red bladed lightsaber ignites. "You have a choice to make, young one. Him or her." He says as he waits for the padawan's decision.
Uri's defiant stare cracks when his sponsor is grabbed. His eyes fearfully linger on the inquisitor's ignited blade, and on the rest of the scene in the observatory for an eternity in seconds. Finally, the Padawan breaks contact. He closes his eyes and turns away sullenly, toward the bruised and bloodied prisoner on the ground.
His lightsaber passes out from beneath his robes. again, seconds pass. In one swift motion, the laser blade bursts forth from the hilt and is thrust down through the Zygerrian, passing through his body where the heart ought to be.
The smell of singed hair and flesh assaults Uri's nostrils. The blade powers down, but the boy does not turn around. He continues to stare at the lifeless body at his feet.
With that, Chabak releases Chantique from his hold and the Grand Inquisitor's lightsaber extinguishes. The Grand Inquisitor looks at Chantique and then nods. The three walk away from the overlook and a few moments later, the door to the area opens and Chantique enters.
