Hera is informed that they are under attack. She arrives back at Lothal with Wolffe, Gregor, Ketsu, and Hondo onboard. They sneak pass the Imperial blockade by attaching themselves to an approaching Imperial freighter. Back on the surface, the Rebels quickly become overpowered and as a result they lose the crawler.

Just then, the Ghost shows up and attacks the Imperial Patrol Transports. The battle then resumes with Rex, Gregor, Wolffe, and Kallus joining in the fight. Hera gives the Transports a chase through the mountains, and easily destroys them one by one. The Rebels are still outnumbered, but Ezra gets everyone to retreat into the caves. The Imperials surround the entrance, and Rukh goes in with some Stormtroopers.
At first the Imperials think they have them trapped, but then the Loth-Wolves emerge from the darkness and attack. With the wolves by their side, the Rebels defeat the Imperials and are victorious. Rukh is lost in the fight, and Pryce is captured. Eight troopers remain standing and willingly surrender.
