Chapter 25: Lost Daughters
Nightfall has finally set other desert and Evelyn was in her quarters placing Solo's blaster in her holster and then placed her lightsaber on her belt, she didnt know what she and her team were gonna find up the mountain but the safety of the two hostages was the main focus.
After checking over her equipment she was finally ready to start the mission, she only prayed it wouldnt be too complicated. In the back of her mind the safety of Rey echoed and she only hoped she could reach her before anything bad happened.
Evelyn finally had everything she need so she turned and left her quarters and marched down the hallway and towards the ramp leading back out to the sand planet and after a few minutes she finally headed down the ramp to see the Engineer had arrived with cargo along with multiple driods, the engineer's transport was no bigger then The Tempest and soon flying repair droids shot out of the transport and began their work on the ship.
Finn, Javik and Jessika were already sorted and were ready to rescue the engineer's daughters in the mountain, they didnt know what was gonna be up there but securing the daughters would gaurentee The Tempest will fly again and they can resume their journey.
Evelyn watched the droids fly all over the Tempest and began welding pieces together and then she turned to see the Engineer step out of his transport in mechanic overalls ready to work so Evelyn approached the mechanic as he gave orders to a few droids.
"Glad you could make it, think you will be able to repair this hunk of metal?" Evelyn said as she finally came up to Engineer.
The Engineer looked to Evelyn as he gave another order to a droid, he then looked at The Tempest and chuckled. "Honestly this is child's play, been able to put ships back together even those split in half".
Evelyn chuckled as she looked back at the ship "I'll leave her in your hands then" She then looked at the Engineer and her smile dropped as she became serious. "I promise we will get your kids back, you have my word".
The Engineer looked at her and saw she was determined and he felt like he made the right choice having this woman and her crew rescue his daughters, he slowly nodded and offered his hand and the two then slowly shook hands.
"I know you will, thank you" The Engineer smiled and then looked at his droids walking towards the ship and shouted more orders, he then tapped Evelyn's shoulder and then went past her shouting orders and Evelyn looked on at The Enginneer and all she could do was feel sorry for him and the situation he was in.
"We will bring them home" Evelyn whispered and then walked towards the two speeder bikes in the distance and near them was Jessika, Finn and Javik.
Javik flipped his two blasters and placed them in his holsters while Finn checked his rifle and Jessika checked over the speeder bikes before they head to the mountain.
"So we go in and make sure we find the kids before we even think of taking on the raiders?" Javik reminded himself.
"The kids safety comes first Javik, once they are safe we can fight the raiders" Finn stated as he loaded the weapon.
"Or we can just take the kids are leave without them spotting us" Jessika suggested.
Evelyn finally came up to her fellow members "As long as we get the kids out, thats all that matters. We ready to go?".
Jessika did one more check over the bikes and she looked at Evelyn with a nod "Ready as we can be".
"Alright lets get there rights away, no wasting time" Evelyn stated as she jumped on one of the speeder's and Finn quickly jumped on the back of Evelyn's speeder while Jessika jumped on the other and Javik getting on the back.
Jessika and Evelyn activated the speeders and the engines quickly powered up and with no time wasted they shot off towards the mountain, everyone was serious with the life of two little girls on the line.
-Moraband-
Rey slowly woke up from resting for an hour and she noticed she was still in the small cave she used for cover from the storm and as she gathered her thoughts she noticed outside of the cave she saw the storm had calmed down slightly, the storm was still bad but it looked more manageable to travel. Taking a deep breath Rey slowly got up from the ground and collected a few of her things and continued her journey.
The journey was long but Rey just kept pushing herself forward against the strong winds, the multiple paths she took going forward felt like a huge maze. The paths she took were similar and every time she came out of one path she found two more leading god knows where. The paths took rock formations each separating from the other paths and despite her attempts to look past each path she couldnt see where they were gonna take her.
Rey took path after path and no matter how far she walked she felt like she was making no progress, her legs burnt and it felt like her feet were bleeding as she finally came from out of the path she took and once again she saw multiple paths before her, sighing in frustration she fell to her knees taking the wieght off her feet.
The wind and sand stung her face as she tried to collect her thoughts, her hair was a mess full of sand and dirt and her clothes were completely covered in dirt. She felt dirty, tired and hungry and deep down she felt sick to the point she couldnt even think straight.
Rey's ears were covered in the sounds of sand and the wind and she tried to think while kneeling on the ground on all fours and all of a sudden she heard footsteps coming from the front of her, Rey's heart raced as she slowly looked up to the front of her and as soon as she saw who is was she gasped and quickly got to her feet igniting her lightsaber.
"Its about time we met again, cousin" Kylo Ren stood there in his mask with his lightsaber deactivated in his hand and he just looked at her.
"How did you find me!?" Rey demanded to know as she gripped her lightsaber tighter.
Kylo Ren slowly took a few steps forward and Rey took a few steps back never taking her eyes of her foe but all of a sudden Kylo Ren activated his lightsaber and slashed forward and Rey grunted as she brought her lightsaber up and blocked the attack, gritting her teeth she pushed forward against Kylo and attacked only for her foe to easily block it and the two entered a duel lock.
"Your powers are weak cousin" Kylo Ren mocked.
"DONT CALL ME THAT!" Rey argued and pushed Kylo back and slashed at Kylo and all he did was easily block each attack as Rey's form was all over the place, soon Kylo deflected an attack and left himself wide open and Rey force pushed Kylo sending him flying into one of the paths in front of her.
Rey's anger fuelled her body and she rushed forward into the path after Kylo Ren.
-Undisclosed Location-
Evelyn and her rescue deep were travelling at high speed across the desert towards the mountains and the light from the two moons shined down on the endless desert as they drew closer to the mountain, on the way Evelyn's thoughts sensed that Rey was in trouble. All Evelyn could feel was pain and anger within Rey but she couldnt sense what was going on, all Evelyn could feel was Rey.
After an hour of traveling the rescue team finally came to the foot of the mountain and skidded to a stop as they came to opening which leaded up the mountain.
Evelyn and the group jumped off their speeders and collected their blasters and equipment and they turned and looked up the steep path which would take them into the heart of the mountain.
"I'm surprised there's no guards watching this path" Finn stated.
"Who says they aint" Evelyn replied as she looked up the path.
Jessika took a few steps forward and stood next to Evelyn "How do you want to do this?".
Evelyn looked back at Jessika, Finn and Javik and she already had a plan in motion. "Jessika, Javik I want you two to scout around the camp. Look for any way in or out, me and Finn will scout up ahead towards the camp, fortress or what ever it is. The main focus is getting those kids out so make sure no one gets seen, not until we get those kids out of harms way".
Jessika pulled out a device and presented a hologram of the mountain and then the hologram showed a location on top of the mountain and it was a large area surrounds by fortifications. "Looks like the base is well fortified, unless we are quick, careful and lucky we may be able to get inside."
Javik quickly pulled a few devices and presented them to the group. "We can use these, Jaylah said they can keep us cloaked for a short time".
Evelyn took one of the devices out of Javik's hand and examined it, the device was small and designed to be placed on the chest and once activated it covers the entire body in cloaking material allowing the wear to be invisible to the naked eye.
She placed the device in her hip pouch while everyone else took their own. "Right, lets get going at least the night will make it harder for them to see us".
"Same goes for us" Finn added.
Javik chuckled and walked past the group and up the steep hill. "One step at a time, lets just get there then think of our next plan".
Evelyn looked at Jessika and Finn then motioned her head towards the hill and they began their journey towards the base.
-Moraband-
Rey ran as fast as she could down the path Kylo Ren was pushed down and soon she came to a stop collecting her breath as she looked around. "Kylo! Come out!".
"You are weak, you dont even realise how close I am" Kylo Ren's voice echoed and all of a sudden he came out of the shadows with his lightsaber and slashed at Rey but she managed to turn around and block the attack just in time.
Kylo Ren kept pushing forward until Rey was pushed back to a wall and Kylo Ren lunged his saber forward only for Rey to quickly roll out of the way and back to her feet taking a defensive stance, but Kylo Ren was no where to be seen.
Rey took slow deep breaths and she walked forward down the dark path while keeping an eye on any movements in the shadows around her.
"I can feel your anger, you and I just alike...our grandfather would be proud" Kylo Ren's voice echoed around the path.
"I am nothing like you!" Rey shouted.
"No, because you are worse...just like your father" Kylo Ren mocked.
Rey's anger grew bigger as she continued to look out for her foe and suddenly the area grew silent but Rey refused to let down her guard. All of a sudden Rey was startled by the sound of snake like creatures slithering past her feet and the small creatures came to a black mist which appeared out of the ground. Rey could only take a few steps back as she looked on with wide eyes seeing the small snake like creatures merge into one giant snake like creature and it stood over Rey looking down at her with bright red eyes.
"We are the Sith" The large creature's venomous voice echoed as it looked down at Rey.
Rey kept her light saber up as she looked up at the snake "Stand aside creature...your in my way".
All of a sudden the giant snake went above Rey and lunged right down at Rey and all she could do was swing her lightsaber up at the snake and as soon as the saber connected with the creature it suddenly screamed as a bright light protected Rey and the creature was reduced back to smaller snakes and she watched them scurry away.
All of a sudden Kylo Ren came rushing out of the shadows slashing hard and fast at Rey and she did everything she could to defend herself but soon Kylo Ren delivered a strike with so much force it knocked Rey down to her.
Kylo Ren striked down and the two locked sabers once more. "Luke Skywalker couldnt kill me, what chance do you have" Kylo Ren mocked.
"I beat you on Starkiller Base I can do it again!" Rey then force push Kylo Ren back into the shadows and he suddenly vanished as Rey got back up to her feet.
"I will not fail...I will not!" Rey gritted her teeth as she rushed forward down the path hope to get closer to the Temple.
A few star systems away Kylo Ren was meditating in his personal quarters until a Stormtrooper came in and stood to attention.
"Supreme Leader, Ranza Ren and the rest of the knights have located Kenobi and her crew heading into the mountains of the planet they are one" The Stormtrooper stated.
Kylo Ren opened his eyes and slightly turned his head "Tell Ranza to engage them when she sees fit".
"Yes Supreme Leader" The Trooper then turned and left the room and Kylo Ren slowly stood up and slowly walked to his table looking at his lightsaber which rested in its stand. "Soon...everything I have worked to achieve will be a reality."
-Undisclosed Location-
After hours of climbing the mountain Evelyn and her crew finally made it over a nearby edge and on the other side they knew the Bandit Base camp was near. Evelyn ordered everyone to get low and crawl toward the edge of the drop where the base was told to be and after a few moments Evelyn stopped and looked at Jessika motioning her to scout on while she looked at Javik and Finn who were right behind her. "Keep quiet and just focus on finding the kids, everything else is secondary".
Finn and Javik nodded and Evelyn looked to her front and frowned as she saw Jessika stand up looking down at the site below.
"Guys, we got a problem" Jessika stated.
"What do you see?" Evelyn questioned as she, Finn and Javik stayed low.
Jessika looked back at them "The base camp is fucked".
Evelyn frowned and quickly got up and rushed up the hill coming up right next to Jessika and she looked down the other side of the hill and saw nothing but fire and smoke.
"You have got to be kidding me..." Evelyn sighed and waved the others up and she looked back down at the destroyed camp.
"Evie, the kids...do you think?" Jessika looked at Evelyn with worry but Evelyn looked right at Jessika. "We are not leaving until we know for sure".
Evelyn then jumped off the edge and slid down the steep hill followed by Jessika and after checking the wreck themselves both Javik and Finn followed them down the hill and they all slid towards the camp.
After a speedy slid down the hill Evelyn and the crew finally made it down to the base camp and saw nothing but bodies all over the place and huts completely destroyed, it looked like a war took place here and with the possibility of this being the work of another group the crew knew there was a chance there was still trouble around.
Evelyn took out Han Solo's blaster along with her lightsaber and motioned the others to keep their guard up as they slowly made their way through the wrecked base camp.
"What the hell happened here?" Jessika said as she kept her blaster rifle close.
"Must have been more raiders" Finn stated as he came close to a dead body checking for any vitals.
"No, this was something else" Javik revealed and everyone looked back and saw him looking down at the ground a few feet from them.
"Javik?" Evelyn called out and Javik just waved them other and the three rushed over to him and they saw a massive footprint in the sand and Finn knelt down looking at it.
"Was it a creature?" Finn questioned.
Jessika knelt down and looked at the shape of it and the print was a perfect circle with two small triangle shapes in the front of the circle. "No, this was a machine".
Finn frowned and looked up to Jessika. "You mean a machine did this?".
Jessika slowly stood up still looking at the footprint. "Looks like it" She then turned around looking at the camp. "From the looks of it, it was either raiders or law enforcement".
"Law enforcements dont go to this extreme, the so called law I have run into always capture bandits to find out what they know" Javik argued.
Evelyn then looked around the camp and saw there was absolutley nothing here all except for dead bodies, she then looked down at the large footprint and slowly knelt down and placed her hand on the footprint and everyone just watched as she closed her eyes.
Maintaining focus Evelyn's surroundings seems to reverse back to the point before the attack all of a sudden she frowned, the scene before her stopped at a certain point and she opened her eyes and saw a massive machine which looked humaniod but was at least seventeen foot. She watched it swing its massive arms which was the size of large tree trunks and it smashed through the bandit's huts killing everything in its was and she noticed it was shooting lazers and rockets at any raider trying to fight back.
The machine was made of multiple parts from old and new armor plating taken from battle ships and it was heavily protected, Evelyn watched as it crushed a raider under its foot and all of a sudden she spotted a little girl holding a toddler in her arms going from cover to cover heading towards Evelyn.
Evelyn watched as she memorized the girl, the girl had jet black long hair with solid green eyes and her face had a few freckles on her cheeks and Evelyn noticed the little girl had a little scar over her left eyebrow, Evelyn watched as the little girl then ran as fast as she could with her little sister in her arms and rushed past her towards a path leading out of the base camp but all of a sudden the machine turned and saw the little girl leaving. All Evelyn could do was watch the giant machine give chase while swinging and crushing any bandits in its way and soon it headed down the path where the little girl ran too.
The vision ended and Evelyn gasped collecting air and Finn quickly put his hand on her shoulder showing concern. "Evie you alright?".
Evelyn collected her breath and soon nodded then slowly stood up looking at the path in front of them leading out of the base camp "The girls went down this path, that thing gave chase".
Finn rushed forward and looked down the path then looked back at the group "What are we waiting for?".
Javik frowned at Finn "You see the mess around us right? We go after that thing without the right equipment we will be dead".
Jessika looked to Javik. "We need to go after them, the longer we take the more danger those kids are in".
Evelyn finally collected herself and moved towards the path leading them god knows where and soon she stopped next to Finn and looked back at Jessika and Finn. "We can do this, those girls need our help".
Everyone looked at each other knowing this encounter could end their lives but if they didn't try they would never get off the planet and the fate of the galaxy will ultimatley fall into the First Order's hands, that was something they couldnt allow to happen.
After a few moments everyone agreed to follow the path towards where ever it would take them and they could only hope they wasn't too late to save the girls.
One hour had past and Evelyn with the crew continued to walk and walk to where ever the path took them and soon they came to a large open area and in the distance was a large cave, the area itself was full of scrap metal covering all corners of the area and all the team could do was stay on gaurd.
"Quick question, why would the bandits set up camp here with this thing hanging around" Javik asked ask he aimed his weapon around.
"It may not have shown up until the Bandit's settled in" Finn stated as he looked for any signs of movement.
"Or maybe this thing has been here and they never realised it, possibly was hiding among all this scrap metal" Jessika guessed.
"Either way we got to find those kids, if we can find them with running into that thing the better" Evelyn stated with her lightsaber activated and Han's blaster in her other hand.
"What are the chances that will happen?" Javik questioned as he came up to a large pile of scrap and all of a sudden a large hand popped out of the pile of scrap grabbing Javik and all he could do was scream and everyone turned and saw the massive machine burst out of the pile of scrap and into the open, Javik screamed as he was tossed all over the place and all of a sudden the machine threw Javik right into Jessika sending the two skidding across the ground.
"YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Finn shouted and he with Evelyn opened fire at the machine as they moved, the machine then charged forward towards Finn and Evelyn swinging its arms determined to take them out and the two ran as fast as they could.
Javik and Jessika finally got up from the ground and Jessika pulled out a few grenades and tossed some to Javik.
"Hey scrapheap!" Javik shouted and the machine turned to see both Jessika and Javik throw grenades right at it and they exploded on impact making the machine stumble back into a pile of scrap.
Javik cheered in victory but it was short lived as the machine quickly got up and threw a large piece of debris right at Javik and Jessika and the two just froze on the spot knowing they wasnt gonna avoid it, all of a sudden the debris stopped in mid air and was thrown right back at the machine only for it to knock the debris to the side.
Jessika and Javik turned and saw Evelyn using the force picking up more debris and launching it right at the machine some missing and many hitting its mark while Finn was using himself as a distraction by shooting random shots at the machine.
"Find the girls! We'll hold it off!" Evelyn ordered as she sent another piece of debris right at the machine knocking it off balance.
Javik and Jessika quickly rushed to the nearby cave as debris flew all over the place and all that was heard was blaster fire and metal clashing with metal, the two soon rushed into the cave and began their search for the girls.
Evelyn quickly rushed forward towards the machine constantly force throwing large debris at the Machine but it was able to use its arms to block most attacks, Finn was climbing a pile of scrap trying to get some high ground and line up for a clear shot at the machine's head hoping that destroying it would shut it down.
The Machine charged forward towards Evelyn and brought its huge arms down determined to crush her but Evelyn backflipped out of harms way and then sudden threw her lightsaber right at one of the machine's shoulders and sliced one of its arms clean off and its left arm crashed to the ground.
Finn finally saw his opening and lined up a shot and hit a few blaster shots right at the machines head and it exploded after a few well placed hits.
"Woo!" Finn exclaimed but all of a sudden the machine turned its attention to Finn and charged to him. "Shit!" Finn shouted as the machine crashed right into the pile of scrap sending the huge pile crashing to the ground taking Finn with it.
"FINN!" Evelyn shouted and she carged forward and with the force she jumped high in the air and landed right on top of the machine impaling her lightsaber into it and with Han's blaster she unleashed rounds of blaster fire into the exposed circuits where the head used to be. The machine stumbled left and right as Evelyn continued to shoot into the interior of the machine, Evelyn was shook left and right as the machine tried to shake her off but with her lightsaber wedged right where the head of the machine was she was able to keep balance and continued to attack.
Deep inside the cave Jessika and Javik with lights checked the deepest, darkest parts of the cave looking for the missing kids and it was absolutely silent and creepy as they shinned their lights into the darkness.
"This is giving me the creeps..." Javik whispered to Jessika as they moved forward.
"Just keep your guard up" Jessika whispered back and all of a sudden they heard quick footsteps in the distance and as they shinned their lights towards the sounds they caught a glimpse of a little person running behind a rock.
Jessika put her hand in front of Javik telling him to stay back and soon she slowly moved forward towards the large rock the person was hiding behind.
"Dont be afraid...we mean you no harm, we came to bring two little girls back to their papa" Jessika whispered in a very calm tone.
After a few moments a little girl slowly peeked around the rock and Jessika gave the girl a small smile as she knelt down. "Its ok, we are here to take you home. Your papa sent us".
The little girl stayed behind the rock for a few seconds and soon she slowly came into full few with her baby sister in her arms covered in a cloth. "Is the bad men gone?".
Jessika slowly nodded "Yes, they are gone".
The little girl then looked up at Javik and saw him give a small smile as he nodded confirming the truth and then the girl looked back at Jessika. "Is BD-1 ok?".
Jessika frowned a little confused. "Who?".
Back outside the cave the machine continued to violently move left and right trying to get Evelyn off its shoulders but with her lightsaber wedged in its shoulder she wasnt going anywhere as she continued to open fire at its circuits, having no luck the Machine then turned to a nearby wall going a fast speed but before it crashed into the wall Evelyn quickly backflipped off the machine and it crashed right into the wall damaging its front.
Evelyn wasted no time using the Force and she quickly threw large bits of scrap at the machine as it turned only this time it couldn't defend itself from the rapid attacks and soon a large piece of scrap impaled the machine's chest. As soon as the scrap impaled the machine Evelyn shot her hands out and send electricity right at the machine and it started to smoke.
Knowing victory was near Evelyn shot more electric right at the machine as it fell to its knees and soon it fell to the ground on its back, soon Evelyn stopped to charge up a more powerful surge as she approached the machine and soon she went to attack again.
"STOP!" Evelyn immediately stopped and looked to the cave and standing there was a little girl with tears down her face as she ran towards her and the machine, Evelyn frowned in confusion but then the little girl went right up to the machine placing her hands on its foot. "BD wake up!".
Evelyn looked at the little girl trying to wake up the machine and then she turned to see Jessika with a baby in her arms coming out of the cave with Javik next to her, the little girl then turned and looked up at Evelyn with a angry look. "Why did you hurt him!".
Still confused Evelyn looked to the girl "You know this thing?".
Tears streamed down the girl's face "He saved us from the bad men, he protected us and you just hurt him!".
All of a sudden Evelyn looked to a pile of scrap and saw Finn making his way out of the pile of scrap and she sighed in relief seeing he was alright, she then turned her attention to the little girl and knelt down. "He attacked us and we thought he was a bad guy".
"He was protecting us..." The little girl argued and all of a sudden they heard something knocking inside the stomach of the machine which startled the little girl and Evelyn, taking precautions Evelyn pulled the little girl away and pulled out Han's blaster and Finn rushed up to Evelyn with his blaster in hand while Jessika and Javik remained by the cave protecting the baby.
"Dont hurt him anymore!" The Girl begged and Evelyn looked down at her and could see her begging not to. This girl knew the machine more then them and if what she said was true then the Machine was only being a protector.
Evelyn slowly placed Han's blaster in her holster and gave a nod to the girl then turned and lowered Finn's blaster and he looked at her. "We'll trust the girl, but be ready just in case".
Finn was hesitant as he looked down at the girl who was begging at this point but he decided to take Evelyn's word and lowered his rifle, soon Evelyn slowly walked up to the machine to the side of its stomach where the banging sounds were coming from and still being cautious she saw a loose plating so taking a deep breath she took a hold of the plating and on three she threw the plating off and suddenly something shot out of the machines stomach and landed right on Evelyn sending her to the ground.
Finn reacted and raised his rifle but the little girl rushed in front of him holding her hands up stopping him, Evelyn wrestled with what ever was on her and she quickly threw it off her and it crashed into the side of the machine, quickly sitting up she then saw what came out of the machine.
There on the ground was a tiny droid which was worn down and stood on two legs, it was damaged and one of its legs wasnt working properly as it struggled to stand and Evelyn quickly reconised it was a BD unit which was rare to see. BD units were bipedal, and had white plating with black sensors. Designed to assist with exploration in remote and dangerous locations and was equipped with various tools, including a healing stim dispenser and a spotlight and a holoprojector , as well as a scomp link which could hack equipment or droids.
Soon the BD unit turned its attention back to Evelyn and it let out a few loud beeps only to spot the little girl to its side as she slowly came to him kneeling down to the floor showing concern.
"You ok BD-1?" The little girl whispered and the driod seemed to have calmed down seeing that she wasnt in danger, tilting its head letting of a few quiet beeps the little girl gave a small smile to the droid and soon it started limping to her.
Evelyn still sat on the ground watched the scene before her with Finn and soon the little girl placed her hand near the droid and it looked at her hand then up at her seeing the little girl nod and so the droid quickly climped up her arm as she chuckled and it went up to her shoulder and around her upper back and gripped the back on her shoulders to keep him there.
The droid let off a beep as he peeked over her shoulder looking at Evelyn who was slowly getting up.
"He says he's sorry, he thought you wanted to hurt us" The little girl explained and all Evelyn could do was smile at the droid.
"I'm sorry I hurt you too BD, thank you for protecting them" Evelyn whispered.
The droid let off a few beeps and Evelyn chuckled "Just dont chuck us around again".
"Got to admit he's a tough little droid" Finn looked at the droid on the girl's back and then waved Jessika and Javik over saying it was ok.
"Are you here to take up home?" The Little Girl asked Evelyn as she stepped closer to her.
Evelyn slowly nodded "Your father sent us to bring you home".
The little girl then rushed forward and wrapped her arms around Evelyn's waist and looked up at her with a tear and smile. "Thank you...".
All Evelyn could do was smile down at her as she placed one hand on her shoulder and on the back of the girl's head.
"Your welcome". Evelyn whispered and the little girl then hugged Evelyn tight knowing she and her baby sister was safe and were finally going back home.
"Yes BD-1 is in this story and he will be heavily involved in the trilogy from here on out, if you are wondering why he is in a desert don't worry I will explain in a later chapter and of course Rey is having trouble on Moraband and its only gonna get worse, lets hope Evelyn and the crew and reach her in time. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and are ready for more :)
