==Plot summary==
===The pirate ship===
After recovering Marlaa Jinara's stolen artifact from pirates, the Jedi Initiates Kai Brightstar, Lys Solay and Nubs fly back to Tenoo aboard the Crimson Firehawk with Nash Durango and RJ-83. Speaking via holoprojector, Jinara thanks the Jedi younglings for recovering her stolen artifact and praises them as heroes. Following the conversation, Durango is upset because she feels that people forget about her and RJ-83. 
Solay reassures Durango that she is a hero while Brightstar praises Durango for being a skilled pilot. Under the glare of the sun, Durango spots a derelict cruiser resting on an asteroid. She recognizes the ship as the legendary Terror of Tenoo, which belonged to the infamous pirate Captain Blackbolt who used to plunder Tenoo for treasure a long time ago. Blackbolt also stole Kaliah Kublop's staff. Blackbolt subsequently disappeared and legend says that his ghost still haunts the ship. Nubs is scared but Durango reassures him that ghosts do not exists.
Durango describes Kaliah Kublop as a founder of Tenoo and adds that her staff is a precious historical relic. She believes that if they recover her staff, they will be treated like heroes. Durango convinces her Jedi friends to come on a treasure hunt. While Nubs is scared, Solay reassures him that she will be with him. Durango docks the Firehawk airlock against the Terror airlock. While RJ-83 stays behind in the cockpit, the younglings venture into the derelict cruiser. 
===An old terror===
Durango manages to restore the Terror of Tenoo power, which activates the ship's systems. In the cockpit, an armored droid begins charging up with its eyes glowing red. The younglings hear an ominous roar but Durango dismisses any idea of a threat. The younglings split up with Solay and Nubs searching the cargo bay. Solay hears a sound but it turns out to be Nubs' stomach rumbling. They then hear a groan and see the shadow of a towering figure approaching. The two younglings retreat to find the others.
Meanwhile, Brightstar and Durango reach the cockpit. Durango tells Brightstar that she has only found dusty junk. The two hear footsteps approaching and are soon cornered by the armored droid that had been charging up in the cockpit. The armored droid has a metal peg leg in place of its left leg. The droid describes them as stowaways. Durango thinks that the droid is the ghost of Captain Blackbolt. She and Brightstar panic and flee down the corridor. They bump into Solay and Nubs. 
The four younglings flee into a cargo compartment full of treasures that had been taken from the people of Tenoo including the Staff of Kaliah Kublop. Durango tells the Jedi younglings that they could win honor by returning the plundered treasures. Blackbolt corners the four in the treasure room, accusing them of wanting to steal his treasures. A cable is short-circuiting on the droid's face. Nubs clings to Solay in fear. Durango stands her ground and tells Blackbolt that the treasures rightfully belong to the people of Tenoo. 
Solay realizes that Blackbolt is not a ghost but a droid. Nubs is relieved. Blackbolt responds that when they powered up his ship, they also powered him up again. The pirate droid vows to plunder Tenoo again. The Jedi younglings activate their lightsabers while Durango wields the staff. Brightstar vows to stop Blackbolt and tells the droid that they are returning his stolen treasure. Seeing the Jedi, Blackbolt activates his red vibroblade arm and vows to continue fighting the Jedi. He attacks the younglings with his vibroblade, pushing them back. 
===Fighting back===
Grabbing Kaliah Kublop's staff, Blackbolt vows to continue his conflict with Tenoo and locks the younglings inside the treasure room. Durango is unable to unlock the door. She blames herself for bringing back the threat of Blackbolt while attempting to prove herself as a hero. Brightstar reassures Durango that she is a hero because she is brave, strong and a good pilot. Solay and Nubs also encourage Durango, telling her that they make a good team. 
Durango has an idea and uses her comlink to contact RJ-83 for help. RJ-83 boards the Terror of Tenoo and reaches the treasure room's door. RJ-83 climbs on several stacked boxes and shelves and jumps against the door panel, unlocking the treasure room. Durango thanks RJ-83 and the Jedi rush to confront Blackbolt. Captain Blackbolt fires up his starship and aims the Terror at Tenoo. The Jedi younglings confront Blackbolt in the cockpit. When he sees Durango and RJ-83 moving his loot in a sled, Blackbolt is enraged and fights the Jedi with his vibroblade. 
With the pirate droid distracted, Durango and RJ-83 begin reprogramming the navicomputer to take the Terror of Tenoo far away from its destination. Captain Blackbolt gains the upper hand over the Jedi younglings. Before he can strike them down with his vibroblade, Durango reveals that she has programmed the hyperdrive. After sabotaging the controls, Durango and the younglings flee the cockpit, leaving Blackbolt behind. Durango still wants to take the treasure but Blackbolt drags her and the sled back towards the cockpit. The Jedi reach the airlock. 
Brightstar warn Durango that time is running out. Durango decides to let Blackbolt keep his loot and races to the airlock as the timer approaches countdown. The younglings reach the Crimson Firehawk cockpit but find RJ-83 is missing. The droid soon reaches the cockpit. With everyone accounted for, Durango detaches from the Terror of Tenoo before the pirate cruiser jumps into hyperspace. The younglings and RJ-83 cheer at their victory.
===A heroine's homecoming===
Brightstar apologizes that they were not able to recover Kaliah Kublop's staff. However, RJ-83 reveals that he had managed to retrieve Kublop's staff. Back in Kublop Springs, the younglings and RJ-83 reunite with Jinara near the Kaliah Kublop statue, who is excited to see that Durango has recovered Kaliah Kublop's staff. A crowd gathers around Durango and her friends. Durango proceeds to retell their adventure with Captain Blackbolt to the assembled crowd.
