, Vao took the last remaining ship and fled the planet with the surviving younglings and Cade's Master Wolf Sazen, but was forced to leave his best friend behind, who was thereafter presumed dead.
Vao spent several years in hiding, completing his training under Sazen, until the pair encountered Skywalker on Vendaxa. Sazen believed that Skywalker would be the one to unite the Jedi against Darth Krayt, though his former apprentice did not want to be a Jedi, and parted ways with Sazen and Vao. They eventually met again at the ruins of the Jedi Praxeum on Ossus, and Skywalker agreed to continue his training. However, Skywalker left after only just weeks, to face Krayt on Coruscant

allies were hiding in the Jedi Academy when the One Sith destroyed it, though they survived to take refuge at the Hidden Temple.
When Cade Skywalker decided to follow up on his plan of assassinating Darth Krayt, Shado decided to tag along. With the help of an ancient Jedi Knight named Celeste Morne, the team succeeded in killing Krayt, and the Twi'lek returned to the Jedi High Council with the news. Shado later accompanied K'Kruhk and a few other Jedi to peace talks between Roan Fel and the Jedi Order. However, they were attacked by the Sith, and Princess Marasiah Fel

Shado was present when the reborn Krayt's forces launched an all-out assault on the Hidden Temple. Vao participated in the battle, but was forced to retreat with the arrival of specially-bred Sith troopers. Fleeing to Bastion, the allied Jedi-Imperial-Alliance fleet decided to attack a vulnerable Coruscant. Vao became a member of a small strike team to infiltrate the capital's planetary defense grid, ultimately succeeding in shutting it down. On their way to the Temple of the Sith, Wolf Sazen was killed in a duel with Darth Stryfe, and Shado promised to cover Cade as he found and confronted Darth Krayt.
