Star Wars

Trinity

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away raged on a war between the Resistance and the newly debuted First Order. With the destruction of Starkiller Base, Supreme Leader Snoke has decided to change tactics. As he thought of them, a shift in the force has him sending a humiliated General Hux, a sulking Kylo Ren and a shamed Captain Phasma to seek the source of the disturbance. Little did they know, that disturbance was the return of a vessel thought to be lost to a black hole.


He shouldn't be looking at the stars but he just couldn't help it. The shining beacons calls for him to conquer, to show them that he was worth it. He scowled at that thought. After the loss of Starkiller base, General Hux has never felt the same. His self-esteem had greatly been decreased which was something he had been trying to ignore. It didn't help that a certain someone was taunting his loss.

Kylo Ren currently stood to his left, also staring at those same stars but he wasn't thinking about them. His dark thoughts kept the dark side happy but after getting defeated by a girl – a scavenger of all things considered – he had been sulking in his own way. Everyone stayed away from the two high command officials except Captain Phasma who stood diligently to the General's right.

After getting put in that trash compacter, she didn't dare say anything. In truth, she was ashamed but luckily her helmet covered her expression. Curiously, she looked at the General who was deep in thought but she knew he was furious over the loss of a weapon he had worked for three decades. A lot of talent was lost that day and even some troopers she had considered reliable.

"Sir, there is an emergency beacon-" A crewmen was cut off halfway as a smoking Imperial II-class Star Destroyer appeared out of thin air in front of them.

The Finalizer immediately swerved to avoid the collision before it slowed down and parked beside the ISD. General Hux was slightly frustrated at the distraction but that thought changed when he noticed that this Star Destroyer looked eerily similar to a picture his 'father' had shown him. Granted most ISD's look the same but there was a distinguished difference.

"Captain, prepare to board." Hux ordered and Phasma saluted, moving away to bark orders at the troopers.

"I can feel it." Ren said with his vocalist making his voice slightly deeper.

"Feel what?" Hux asked albeit uninterested in his force senses.

Ren just looked at him before turning around and walked out of the door. Hux huffed, clearly displeased with his manners but after giving orders towards the crew, he was on his way to the hangar. He entered the shuttle since there were no other ways to enter the vessel without one and he also had to wear a space suit to be able to breathe when they reach the vessel. The ISD had no power so it made sense. To be honest, he didn't know why he was going but something about seeing that ISD got him wanting to board it.

When they landed the shuttle in the hangar, the troopers checked the perimeter while Hux took a look around to notice the observation room which surprisingly looked like someone made it their office. He racked his brain to try and remember who in the Empire had done that. His mind couldn't grasp on the answer though and he was once again distracted when Ren strutted off away from the group. Hux ignored him, knowing he was following the force and it was best not to disturb him when he was on a mission.

"Look around the vessel for any signs of life." Hux told the troopers and they saluted before filing out of the hangar.

Come to think of it, the ISD did feel off and Hux had to wonder what happened to the vessel. He also decided to check out the office because it might contain some clues as to what happened or who owned this vessel. The engineers that were brought onto the vessel had yet to turn on the power so he had to wait rather impatiently to get to his destination. Once he did, he took off his space suit, since the air was being circulated and he coughed due to the dust in the air.

He waved his hand in front of his face while waiting for the dust to settle. He noted that the air was stale, there were no smell of dead corpse or blood wafting through the air. It lifted his spirits slightly especially when the room was full of artifacts. He glanced at the items before walking towards a lit-up display that held an old blaster. He wanted to take it out but decided not to and walked towards a dusted painting where a plaque was ingrained below it. He wiped the dust off the plaque with his glove and immediately jerked his head back in surprise. Without hesitation, he blew away the dust from the painting to drop his jaw in awe.

"It can't be…" Hux muttered, knowing what vessel he was in now.

He had heard the stories of a trio commanding an ISD vessel known as the X-factor. It was a lone vessel, never once joined a fleet despite their capabilities. His father had been stationed there when he was a lieutenant and the experiences he received was far different from any other vessel. The rule of the trio was simple, all for one and one for all. Unity was what got them through to the end, to defeat every single rebel that has ever crossed their path.

Although, most of their victories were minor, they were victories nonetheless. Grand Admiral Trihorn thinks similarly to Grand Admiral Thrawn which was why the ex-smuggler was promoted to that position in the first place. In the painting, he had electric blue spiked up hair and dark blue eyes with the typical white uniform of a Grand Admiral.

Grand General Lynx was the first ever women to reach that rank. She was ruthless with discipline due to her bounty hunter background but gentle to everyone around her. In the picture, she had orange hair that reached her shoulders, gold colored eyes and an olive-green colored uniform.

Then, there was ISB Agent Mia. She was impossible to guess but amazing at gathering information. Her experience at being an ex-thief gave her a great advantage at snooping around. She wore a white uniform – similar to Yularen -, had magenta colored eyes and violet hair.

Hux took another look around the room and this time, he noticed it. A cryo tank at one side of the wall, like it was camouflaged so he walked up to it and what he saw took his breath away. Grand General Lynx was as beautiful as the painting perceived her to be. She still wore her olive-green uniform and her rank insignia was seen perfectly above her heart. Her orange hair was placed neatly behind her shoulders and even in stasis, she held her head high with pride and ambition.

The only difference was a very long scar running from the left side of the forehead, down her left eye, down her cheek and finally ended under her left ear. He placed a hand on the glass to wipe the fog and tried to get a good peek inside when a blue light scanned him from top to bottom unexpectedly causing him to jump back. The light disappeared and a human female voice said something about downloading information. He looked at the progress being displayed on the glass which reached its peak in a second.

'Scan complete. Please be prepared to catch.' The screen showed a smiley face before it disappeared and the door hissed open. Hux barely recovered in time to catch the girl who fell out of the tank with a groan.

"W- Where am I?" For the first time in forever, Hux actually froze stiffly. He had thought her voice would be rough or something but it was actually… Gentle.

"Who are you?" Lynx continued and Hux finally snapped out of his shock. He only just realized that he was still holding her so he carefully started guiding her towards the chair.

"Answer my questions." Lynx growled slightly and that was a warning Hux knew so well. He let her settle down on the seat first before moving away and cleared his throat.

"I am General Hux of the First Order. I was sent here by Supreme Leader Snoke to retrieve you." Hux said, surprisingly not stuttering and Lynx just blinked a few times, trying to rack her brain for recognition of the names.

"How long was I out?" She asked, rubbing her eyes rather tiredly.

"I am unsure but the Galactic Empire was defeated thirty years ago." Hux said and Lynx blinked quickly once again before her face turned into shock as she remembered.

"The black hole… I was- Kriff! I was- We were stuck in a black hole for- What in the universe happened?" Lynx sighed exasperatedly before she turned to look outside the window.

"Are you alright, sir?" Hux asked and was slightly unsure of how to address her considering her higher rank.

"You will call me Lynx, Hux. I hate formalities and prefer to stay casual, as do my siblings which you would have noticed." She not-so subtly glanced at the painting to her right before looking back at the hangar. "And to answer your question, no. I am not alright. I was in suspended animation for more than thirty years. I am temporarily blind although I know where everything is so it is not of a concern of mine. However, I would like you to guide me to my brother's office."

"Which is where?" Hux asked while Lynx stood up, nearly falling but regained her footing.

"Near the bridge. He was always prepared in case a rebel vessel decided to appear out of nowhere." Lynx replied while walking towards Hux.

She stopped in front of him before holding her hand out and Hux was a little confused about what that was supposed to mean. He was also unsure how she managed to know where he was without bumping into him as a normal blind person would do.

"Hux, don't tell me no one's ever grabbed your hand before." Lynx said and Hux just gritted his teeth. It was slightly the truth...

"I-. I'm just not used to this." He replied albeit reluctantly and grabbed Lynx's hand. Even though Lynx's eyes had colors in them, she couldn't actually see but she could feel the General's anxiety which caused her to smile.

"The feeling's mutual. Now, please guide me to my brother's office."

"Is he alive as well?" Hux asked while walking out of the door, making sure to keep a pace that Lynx could follow.

"I'm not sure. Mia was the first to enter her cryo tank, then me and lastly Trihorn but he should be alright." Lynx tilted her head slightly to he left, catching the General's attention who had been thinking of how optimistic Lynx sounded even though the situation was dire. She didn't even react when he said the Empire was defeated...

"What is it?"

"Nothing of importance… Yet."

A lot of questions were running through Ren's mind. The most prominent would be the who. The second being the how. He didn't know whose vessel he was in to have sensed another force wielder so powerful, it made him shiver when he entered. He had had to wait for power to turn on so that he could use the turbolift and his long legs strode down the hall, searching for the very room where the force was at its strongest.

He was near the crew's quarters, he realized and the room he was searching for was an office. Curious, he scanned his surroundings while reaching out to the force to grasp the location of the force user. He didn't even have to get far as his eyes landed on a cryo tank. He walked up towards it and put a hand on the glass only to jump back and ignite his lightsaber when a blue light scanned him up to down.

'Downloading information…' A women voice said and Ren still stood back with his lightsaber at the ready.

'Download complete. Please be prepared to catch.' The monitor showed a smiley face before the door opened and a woman fell down on all fours.

"Kriff, everything hurts." She groaned and held her head in her left hand while Ren kept his lightsaber after realizing that the force was converging into her.

"Who are you?" Ren asked and the woman looked up at him before blinking.

"Oh, I can't see… Well, I would ask you the same thing but after hearing that lightsaber, I can only guess that you are a Sith. I am Agent Mia from the Imperial Security Bureau." Mia slowly stood up and fixed her uniform.

"I am not a Sith. The Sith are dead." Ren growled slightly.

"You have a lightsaber and I'm guessing you also have a mask which equates to a Sith. Deny it all you want but you still are one." Mia retorted before turning her head towards the door, tilting her head slightly.

"Are you a Sith?" Ren questioned and Mia shushed him, her ears twitching with fear. "What?"

"We are not safe. Take me to the Grand Admiral's office." Mia held her hand out towards Ren who took a step back.

"What makes you think I will do so?" Ren queried.

"Because if you don't… There are far more worse things than death on this vessel." Mia hissed slightly, her fear was well hidden from her tone.

"What do you mean?"

"Our time in the black hole has allowed some other… Deadly alien to come aboard and that thing cannot die by our hands. We need to get out of here and if we are to survive, we will have to work together. Yes, you and your rival." Mia huffed slightly.

"Rey?"

"No, that General. Now, will you grab my hand and lead me to my brother's office? Like I said, we don't have much time." Mia motioned with her magenta eyes towards her hand which Ren decided to grab and lead her down the hall.

"Your brother is a Grand Admiral?"

"One of the best." Mia smirked. "He is just as good as Thrawn."

"The Chiss?"

"Who else? Then there is my sister, Grand General Lynx. I'd tell ya she can change emotions really quick. It's not even funny." Mia chuckled softly before her ears twitched. "Did you bring any troopers on board?"

"Several, including some engineers." Ren replied.

"Well, they are dead." Mia deadpanned before the lights flickered off and Ren stopped in his tracks.

"What are you not telling me?" Ren narrowed his eyes behind his mask at Mia who shrugged.

"It's only a matter of time before they find us anyway and if you want an explanation, my brother can provide a better one. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around this whole thing." Mia said and didn't even wince when Ren tried to mind probe her. Yes, tried. "I would get moving, Ren. I also wouldn't try to mind probe myself. It's a mess in there."

"You are a force user…"

"Except I don't abuse it. Now, get moving before that thing on board this vessel finds us." Mia said quickly so Ren started walking again while reaching out into the force to find that 'thing'.

"Sir, there is a heat signature ahead of us." A trooper told Phasma who ordered them to stop.

"Show yourself!" Phasma yelled when the lights went off.

Every single trooper turned on their blaster lights and pointed it down the hall where the earlier trooper had scanned the heat signature. Phasma narrowed her eyes behind her chrome helmet when what sounded like grinding noise started getting closer and closer towards them. Their own flashlights flickered off causing a trooper to fire into the dark out of fear.

At first nothing happened after the trooper accidentally pressed the trigger but then said trooper suddenly gurgled and fell on his back, dead like a ragdoll. The other troopers immediately fired out of fear and Phasma watched as each of them fell dead to the darkness. Phasma was about to aim her blaster at the two glowing red eyes but someone stopped her from doing so.

She turned to her right to see a man, his electric blue hair and white uniform struck out in the darkness. Phasma wanted to yell at him to move out of the way but one glance from the man caused her to shut up. The creature in the dark growled before it closed its eyes and disappeared. The man released a breath before looking at Phasma with narrowed eyes. He was studying her but she was unfazed by it.

"Who are you?" The man questioned Phasma who tilted her head.

"I am Captain Phasma of the First Order. Who are you?"

"I am Grand Admiral Trihorn, commander of the ISD X-factor which you are currently in. Now, answer my next question, are you a female underneath that armor?"

"Yes, I am." Phasma replied without hesitation and Trihorn jerked back slightly.

"Well then, Captain. Follow me to my office unless you want that abomination to end your life."
