Ky'ram awoke in a small cell, where exactly he couldn't be sure. Looking round he could not see anyone else in the immediate area. Reaching into the Force he began to try and locate at least Skye before a light but concentration breaking electric shock ran across his wrists and pulled him away. He had a small yelp of pain, very unlike him after all the battles he had fought in.
"It's useless Skirata." A voice said from a nearby cell. "The cuffs are going to randomly expel those shocks so you will never be able to do what you need with the Force."
"Master Skywalker?" Ky'ram asked incredulously.
"Yes Ky'ram." Luke responded. "It's been quite some time since I've seen you."
"Eh, technically still haven't." Ky'ram chuckled.
"You still haven't given up on the witty thing?" Luke laughed himself.
"I wouldn't be me if I did." Ky'ram told the older man.
"So I assume you have some sort of plan to get out of here, with me in tow." Luke asked the Mandalorian.
"Well first I need to know where we are and then I need some time to think since I have no idea where my partner is." Ky'ram answered quickly.
"I can answer the first." Luke began. "The Star Destroyer Intimidator. We left the orbit of Ahch-To about half an hour ago. You showed up shortly before the planned jump delayed them long enough for me to get some information."
"At least we're not at Dromund Kaas yet." Ky'ram stated flatly. "Gives us time to get out and escape back to the base."
"I'm assuming Leia is ready for mine and Rey's return?" Luke asked tentatively.
"Yes." Ky'ram told him. "My Grey Order has been preparing for some time now and struck a major blow to Snoke by almost entirely wiping out what's left of the Knights of Ren."
"So you finally formed an order of Grey Jedi." Luke said. "Good to hear someone is going for balance in some way. Bringing Rey back will be a bit more challenging though."
"Why is that Master Skywalker?" Ky'ram questioned.
"When I sensed the First Order finally coming for me I sent her and R2 off in the Falcon." Luke responded. "I do not know where she went, the only instructions I provided were to avoid the main resistance base until she was sure she wasn't followed."
"Once we escape we can focus on finding her." Ky'ram told the Jedi Master.
Before Luke could say another word a large commotion travelled through the cell block. Ky'ram smiled slightly as he heard a trooper fly into one of the walls and then saw the shield wall keeping him in fluctuate from another trooper slamming into it. As the noise calmed down the wall fell and Ky'ram was face to face with Skye yet again.
"I take it the cuffs weren't powerful enough to interrupt the drain?" he asked as she removed his and Luke's bindings.
"Nothing too challenging. I found your weapons." Skye responded handing Ky'ram both of his blades and Luke his own green saber. "Didn't see Rey anywhere between my cell and here."
"She's not here according to Luke." Ky'ram explained. "By the way Luke, Darth Ja'ak. Darth Ja'ak, Master Skywalker."
"You're working alongside a Sith?" Luke asked tentatively igniting his blade.
"Yes but she's not a Sith in the entirely classic way." Ky'ram began explaining hoping Luke would at least hear him out. "She wants to take down Snoke as much as I and the rest of the resistance do, especially since he has perverted the teachings of the ancient Sith."
"What about you though?" Luke asked shifting his gaze slightly. "You were never a true Jedi but you weren't dark either. Now you wear the mask of a long dead Sith and carry his blades."
"I have taken the mantle of Revan Reborn." Ky'ram explained. "The truest of the Grey Jedi to ever live. I turned your nephew back from the Dark even."
"Ben is no longer a disciple of Snoke?" Luke questioned.
"Not at all." Ky'ram informed him. "He is in fact one of the Masters in the Grey Order. All of my disciples have sworn to ensuring balance in the Force. For that to be true both Sith and Jedi must exist. To this end all sides of the Force have aligned to destroy Snoke, save the Jedi themselves. I am here on bended knee," To which Ky'ram kneeled down in front of the Master, "to ask that you and your apprentice join us in this endeavor."
Luke seemed pensive for a moment. He studied both Ky'ram's body language as well as Skye's look of slight worry. Sighing he deactivated his blade and pulled Ky'ram off the ground.
"I will assist you, as I'm sure Rey will want to as well." Luke said. "First though we have to get off this ship. Any ideas in that regard?"
Ky'ram turned to Skye who now had a smirk across her face, just as he did beneath his maskā¦
