The Screecher revealed herself to the children, who believed her to be just within their mind, the children ran but Daal stayed behind to confront the Sith witch. After a brief confrontation Daal used the Force to bring a rock to crush the Sith woman; however, it did not kill her, the witch attempted to use the Force to bring her crimson Sith lightsaber to her hand. Daal grabbed the saber before the witch could, and with little hesitation, Daal killed the Sith.
