It is decided to call a special session of Congress in the Great Hall of the Turin ranch. The situation must be discussed and measures decided upon. The Jedi are allowed to address Congress. There are two camps. The Presidential camp that thinks this is a Separatist conspiracy. Everything that has happened has been engineered by the Confederacy. Their crowning argument are the arrival of the droid army and the bombing of Congress, as witnessed by E'tan. The camp of Vice-President Ulmin Drey calls it a Republic plot. Hiiso uprising, Republic weapons, led by Jedi. 'Coincidental' arrival of the Light of Reason. E'tan being a complete lunatic (which means him 'seeing' the bombing isn't very reassuring). The two camps can't seem to agree on anything.

But eventually Ulmin Drey admits to having been in contact with the Confederacy. Just like the President has been in touch with the Republic. He's gotten assurances that they will help put the rebellion do and restore order. More than the Republic has promised. He's also taken the liberty of inviting the Confederacy envoy to this meeting - after all the Jedi are here to speak for the Republic, so it is only fair the other side gets the chance to present itself.

Shortly thereafter Tito Jax reports droid battalions encircling the ranch. And E Leet spots an approaching shuttle. It lands and disembarks a squad of Super battle droids, five Neimoidian envoys - and a Sith warrior. They head inside to address Congress. Meanwhile, in the dewback stables...E'tan has another mad plan. He rides the dewback out, pretending to loose control, then conveniently falls off in the vicinity of the shuttle. He slips behind the two super battle droids that guard the ramp, then enter the shuttle, taking out two pilot droids, then blasting the supers with the shuttles cannons.

That sort of puts an end to the negotiations inside. The Sith draws his lightsaber and Oona and E Leet move to oppose him. Using his red lightsaber and Force lightning the Sith gains the upper hand. Oona is barely able to smash him through the doors and into the hall, giving E Leet time to evacuate the Congressmen out the back (well, not all of them really, Ulmin's people remain with the Neimoidians). The battle rages on. E'tan and E Leet rejoin Oona who is not fighting with Janna. The fight goes badly. Even a Jedi master and three apprentices can't seem to defeat a single Sith (Tito Jax would have made no difference were he present).

In the end E'tan calls up the shuttle to have it shoot at the ranch. Maybe, just maybe it can distract the Sith. Mayzin responds and fires the shuttle's guns repeatedly. The Jedi flee, but they get no further than the steps before a thrown lightsaber takes Oona in the back. She falls, mortally wounded. E'tan manages to use the Force to heal her, preventing her from dying outright. They stumble for the shuttle, E'tan carrying Oona and E Leet supporting Janna. The rubble shifts and the Sith gets out. E'tan flings a rock at him. The Sith throws it right back - then he starts flinging big rocks at the shuttle. E Leet rushes back, unleashing every bit of Force he has; the Sith is knocked down and buried in rubble for the second time. It won't last long though, so they race back to the shuttle and lift off...leaving Tito Jax behind in the process.
