Supreme Leader Kylo Ren stood on the bridge of an acquired destroyed named Languish. All around him the First Order buzzed like a hive, and they all revered him now as Supreme Leader. Before Kylo Ren had a sense of command enabling him to order around most of the First Order, but now he had all of it and although it did not bring him the immediate release nor did his crippling loneliness cease like he thought it would-with time it would. Hux had gone off to deal with securing more resources. For a moment his mind flickered to the young scavenger who had heaved his proposal to the side and left him once more defeated. He was so sure she would take his hand. The look on her face those sweet brown eyes welled up with tears-

"Supreme Leader." an officer's voice pulled him away reflection, "We've had a very disturbing holocom for one of our deployments in Mid-Rim."

"Well, what is it?"

"Knight Balor seems to have died due to a lighting storm on the planet he was scouting." the officer reported, "Most of his units have returned to their destroyer- Hostile.

Kylo Ren flinched. Not that he had forgotten about the other knight's under his command-rather he had lost track of them as Snoke kept them all scattered on different missions.

"A lightning storm killed one of my Knights?" He fumed. The Officer nodded seeing the tension build,

"That is what all of the remaining troopers report, sir. A freak lightning storm on the planet Naboo."

Kylo sent the officer away not particularly bothered by Balor's death-; he was a weak tool who easily crumbled under anyone's influence in order to put himself in good graces. This made him think on the other Knight's and how he needed to know exactly what each them were up to. He entered his in progress throne room sending the workers away. It wasn't a command center's like Snokes on StarKiller Base with officer chairs spiraling outward no this would be a throne room meant for him. The room was the epitome of darkness with only false light bedecking the walls ever so faintly. His throne wasn't ready yet, so he sat before it in a meditation, and called out to the Knights of Ren.

Slowly four images appeared before him all masked or hooded like he himself had once been.

Ares, a boy picked up my Luke Skywalker from one of the resistance families, was of average build and had no out crying features. This worked well in his favor to slip in and out of unwanted places more a spy and informant than knight. Ares greeted him with a curt but formal nod.

Camulus, was an apprentice before even the boy Ben had joined the temple, he was stockier and his fists were something to be avoided. He greeted Kylo Ren with a raised First Order salute.

Shen Cha, came from a strange and distant outer rim planet, he was slim like a fine toothpick. This made his enemies underestimate him, and it was always their downfall. Shen Cha gave a respectful waist deep bow.

Shinto, was Shen Cha's twin a silent and scholarly being-; he greeted the same as his brother.

Kylo Ren's mind knew it could not reach Balor, but there was one more he couldn't seem to reach.

"Where is Nyx?" He asked frustrated.

Each of the man looked at each other than back to their leader with an air of bewilderment.

Shen Cha was the first to speak up,

"Master Kylo, did Supreme Leader not-"

Kylo cut him off instantly,

"Supreme Leader Snoke is dead. Murdered by the resistance! I am your new Supreme Leader."

The Knights exchanged unknowing glances and Camulus spoke up,

"That may be but what we're trying to get at." Camulus had always spoken to him like an older brother who knew everything, "Snoke killed her six years ago."

A ripple came through him,

"What?"

"Shinto was there. He can tell you." Camulus craned a neck over to the quiet brother.

Shinto didn't speak but he reached out into Kylo's mind showing him-;

Shinto was staunchly holding Nyx before Smoke. She looked weak, drugged and had a draped arm over her stomach like she was wounded, but Nyx was never afraid and she let it be known in her voice-unwavering and ferocious,
"If you think I'm going to keep doing this you underestimate how much I fear you."
Smoke deeply chuckled,"My dear, how I have always enjoyed your spirit. I'll remind you I can continued project Rebrith with or without you, child."

Nyx broke away from Shinto staggering leaving the throne room looking subservient and defeated. Snoke seemed placated with her silent exit but then in an instant his mannerism changed,
"After her!" Snoke commanded, "She does not leave."

Despite her disheveled appearance Nyx was already out of Shinto's immediate site. Snoke spoke to him of the urgency of catching her. The Knight of Ren took to the bridge telling the ships commander to lock down all hangars and corridors, but it was too late a single tye fighter was out. Snoke SCREAMED over the comm line"Take that fighter down!"With two ventral cannons hits the tye fighter exploded.

Shinto returned them to the present still ever silent. He had too many questions quelling his soul like how strange it was that she took a tie fighter, she never was a pilot.

"That'll be all." Kylo Ren detached himself from them. Images of Nyx played through his mind- her long braid falling out when her hood came down, and those luminous violet eyes. She was the first to join willing to do anything and everything fearless of the consequences. They had become attached to each for a short while it was probably the only time he felt a small delve in the loneliness aside from his brief connections with the scanvegar, but it didn't last long when Snoke sent them to opposite ends of the universe. He didn't know why it mattered their relationship was purely carnal especially for her. The project name stuck with him though. He grabbed the first officer he came across,

"I want any data on Project Rebirth."
