What is the plot of Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Scargiver?

Warning: Rebel Moon - Part 1: A Child of Fire spoilers below

Rebel Moon – Part 1: A Child of Fire brought us to Veldt, a small farming moon that came under attack from a military force known as the Motherworld.

When their leader, the sadistic Atticus Nobel, threatens Veldt’s humble citizens, a rebellion forms led by Kora, a farmer who quickly finds herself as the face of an army bent on bringing the Motherworld to its knees. After training up an army and recruiting new warriors, Kora manages to defeat Nobel - or so it seemed.

During the final moments of A Child of Fire, we discover that Nobel has been rescued from the brink of death by a ghostly vision of Kora’s evil father and returned to the land of the living with a newfound desire for vengeance.
