Escape from Karyak Grove

"I sense a great power within one of you. It feels... strangely familiar..."
―Shadow King Asolas interrogating the group of Lux Knights and troopers.The Escape from Karyak Grove took place during the start of the Second Ghost War. As part of a plot to capture Tom Thompson, Admiral Skorpiuz led the Suezian Army to Karyak Grove, the capital city of Jalias in which the ghosts had located members of the Lux Republic on. The Shadow King laid a trap for the Lux troopers and duelled the fledgling members in an attempt to capture Tom Thompson, whom was disguised as a Lux Knight. Tom and other Lux members were captured by the ghosts and interrogated for the location of Tom Thompson. The remaining Alpha VI members briefly returned in order to rescue the disguised Tom Thompson, who was injured in his duel with the Shadow King, before evading the Suezian Army and being saved by Alpha VI to rejoin the Lux Republic.

Hoping to turn Tom Thompson to the shadows of A'hllas, Shadow King Asolas sent part of the Suezian Army to Karyak Grove, after it was discovered by Admiral Skorpiuz to be their destination, in order to capture members of the Lux Republic and find the location of Tom Thompson, they planned to interrogate them. When the Suezian forces reached Karyak Grove, they tracked down the Lux Republic members. Tom Thompson, whom was on a training mission, was captured along with other members of the Lux Republic.

: "Well done. Hold them down. And Admiral, kill the captain. Leave the boy."
: ―Shadow King Asolas, before Admiral Skorpiuz's execution of the Lux Republic Captain
The interrogation was interrupted by an ambush set by the other Alpha VI members, which got Tom Thompson out of custody, but he was chased and attacked by King Asolas. The young Lux Knight got into a duel with the Shadow King. Tom Thompson was injured and defeated by the powerful Ghost.
Thompson, having just been defeated by Asolas in a duel, was running for his life at the top of a building on Karyak Grove. First calling to Harrison Attwood for help and receiving no response, he was struck by Asolas and his body launched over the cliff and into a river. Later, Alpha VI found Tom out cold on the bank of a river, they landed on the river, and Lewis Parker pulled the young Knight to safety. As the Predator's hatch closed, three Suezian fighters showed up and pursued Alpha VI into space while firing at the fighter. Having left the planet's gravity well, the Predator escaped into superdrive.
== Aftermath ==
After the Predator escaped into superdrive, Asolas cursed at their escape. To their surprise, Asolas gave up and left back to Suezeus. The remaining Suezian forces took Karyak Grove into Suezian control.
