Okay! A small update! Finally! So, this little event with our villains takes place after Elsa and the gang leave Jakku, but don't worry! I'm not gonna skip the details of that scene. We'll see them leave in the next chapter. Plus, a little research on Force-Electricity gave me an idea about Elsa and how her icy abilities may fit into this. And her parents and history is way more complex than Rey's...I think.
"It's Impressive,Isn't it?"
Hans noticed that he didn't seem startled, this figure in huge black garments. The back of his hooded head was still turned towards him, and the front was presumably facing the expanse of space and the infinite number of stars in it. The statement Hans made was not entirely true, as he held little regard for the twinkling lights in the distance...if one were to be snuffed out, then he would give a care. Still, it made for conversation up here, in a place where his uncle expected the upmost seriousness from everyone that worked there. And while the figure he was speaking to was the most serious individual there, Hans knew that General Hux was at rivalry with him. Why he was engaged in such an act was beyond him
"To what are you referring, Hans?"
The red haired Dathomirian smirked at the question, and watched as his old friend turned around fully. His hood was dark, but even it could not cloak the silver and obsidian mask at his face, with grooves and small holes embedded in the front to project his voice. He was always at the same height as Hans, but there was a dark air about him that made him seem taller than he already was. Held in one of his gloved hands nonthreatningly was a lightsaber; one that the figure had created all his own and perfected for lethal combat.
"The outside...just beyond the safety of this glass." Hans nodded to the giant window, eyeing the planets nearest to them. "The infinite darkness around us. It's impressive; How strong it looks in such a simple manner."
"...So it is..." Kylo Ren finally spoke again, and this time there was a hint of a smirk in his voice. The commander turned only his head to stare out past the thick glass with a hidden sneer. " And yet there are...'pieces' of light still shining out there hopelessly in the darkness: Buzzing like annoying flies."
"It only takes but a short moment for the lights to finally go out." Hans encouraged darkly, and Kylo slowly walked past him towards the control panel that operated conditioning in the ship. Hans followed him slowly."Then there is only the dark to keep the First Order company."
"...It was nice of you to visit. Yes, It is the nice things that weaken us...but not even he was perfect. And besides, it is nothing if not appreciated. A close ally in times of war such as this is...beneficial..." Kylo Ren folded his hands behind his back. "Your uncle, unfortunately , despises our...partnership in these matters. Even after it gained us Poe Dameron himself."
"He's a bit stubborn, mind you." Hans explained, thinking about his uncle with annoyance. "Not to mention he doesn't take me seriously either. He practically forgot Poe and blabbered about the droid that we didn't retrieve."
Before Kylo could respond, a junior officer came rushing into the room. Hans tensed at the sudden interruption of the talk he was having, almost opening his mouth to say something rather nasty. He instead glared at the less than happy officer and venomously spat. "An unannounced report is worth a lost limb, Officer."
"Steady yourself, My friend." Kylo quickly spoke and sighed. "He only brings news of Poe Dameron's escape."
Hans frowned. he'd almost forgotten that the prisoner had escaped somehow.
"W-we...Uh..." The junior officer spoke, sweat beading on his forehead. Obviously, he was the last person that he himself would want telling news to the both of them. " We've learned that he's taken a cruiser of ours to Jakku, p-possibly having located the droid...Commander."
"I. Knew. That. " The Darkly dressed scoundrel huffed out impatiently. "What I don't know is how he managed to escape. He had help, did he not?"
"Yes, Commander...The d-droid was apparently discovered and taken off Jakku soon after arrival." The officer nodded timidly, looking as if he might break into a run any second now. "W-we...w-w-we have no confirmation, b-but we believe that...three girls and FN-2187 helped in his escape."
Before Hans had time to be intrigued by this rogue stormtrooper, he heard a bloodchilling crackling sound; like the noise made when a raging fire turned bones to charred bits in it's wake. Kylo had activated his lightsaber since the news was told to him and the large scorching blade was now a blood red glow in the otherwise dark room, along the smaller blades jutting out below it. Ren's arms moved like a blur; immediately whipping his hand forward and slicing through the panel just once. Electricty sparkled from the quickly melting wound in the machinery. He raised his arm and struck blow after blow after blow, each one fueled by his rage. If Ren weren't holding the saber, one would have called this temper tantrum; instead it was a danger.
Hans watched stoically as Kylo Ren calmed down, breathing in angry spurts from his mask. The villain turned halfway in an instant, his glare towards the officer feeling like a punch to the face.
"...Anything else to add?"
"..." there was cough. "...One the girls...had a bizarre ability entwined with her force-"
A gloved hand shot up into the air, and The officer immediately gagged from the feeling the force strangling him with ferocity. His body was pulled forward by his neck until Kylo himself was gripping his throat tightly. The dark visors of the mask grew darker.
"What do you mean 'Ability'?"
