So, there was a bit of a mix-up. Ch 13 was actually 14 so I deleted it and am posting the missing chapter. I'll repost 14 in a bit, sorry for such a mess.


Kylo felt a cold laugh slowly escape, gaining steady strength before he was rolling in his own pure amusement.

Dustivix looked confused, then angry. "Stop laughing!"

The master knight slowly straightened to his full height, his hands twitching at his side. He slowly lifted his hands before jerking them outward toward the Sekan'delamor warriors. He slowly lifted the flailing felines before clenching his fists, killing them with resounding cracks of the necks before dropping them. He turned his attention to the startled prince.

"My surrender?" The voice of Kylo drew utter silence as he stalked toward the retreating beast. "No, surrender isn't an option. Let us discuss the terms of your death. It is.." He used the force to lift the feline into the air. "Absolute." He felt sick pleasure when the life was snuffed from the body, allowing it to collapse onto the floor.

He turned to the king, gaining control of his amusement.

"Remain here. I will free your council. With the head of this serpent cut off I feel this event will be concluded by the end of the hour." Kylo said, sweeping out of the room to deal with the traitors to the crown.

"Sir.. I've uncovered disturbing news." Came the soft whisper of the trooper PZ-291.

Once the traitors had been ended Kylo had spoke with the king before returning to his ship. He had confirmed the completion of his mission to Snoke before a transmission had beeped, gaining his attention. He had excused himself before switching over to see the white and gold helmet of his soldier.

"What news?" He recalled how PZ was tracking the force sensitive girl named Elaina.

"May I?" With Kylo's nod PZ had typed something in, showing a video feed for his superior to see.

Kylo studied the clear visual, noting the ship tucking itself into a cave before out came the girl. She wore what she had on in the cell. She made her way into an inn in the city that Kylo realized was La'Vinda. There she stayed for a few minutes before heading to a restaurant. Judging from the gap in time she must have been there for two hours roughly, maybe three. She left and roamed.. before she was seen going through a forest. The camera followed, a skyline view from the quiet ship in the sky, cloaked.

The feed didn't show her, really, just as a shadow of movement, until she arrived at a ship. But it wasn't her. It was, from his knowledge, the mercenary! He was meeting with two people with cargo.

"Where did the girl go?" He demanded as the feed showed them talking.

"Just wait, sir."

Kylo narrowed his eyes under his mask before a gasp of utter surprise came out as the helmet of the mercenary was removed to reveal Elaina!

"So.. she is the mercenary.." He hissed lowly, his tone turning deadly calm.

"Yes, sir. It appears so." PZ answered.

"Well. Her next destination we will confront her. Find out it and return. We will prepare a convoy to meet her. Gather a hundred of our best troops, trooper. I want her captured before my arrival."

"Yes sir!" The feed cut off.

Kylo mused this revelation, furious at himself for not realizing the connection. He would try one last time to convert her. If it failed he would kill her.

Elaina had returned to the restaurant to tell Rosy to find Rixin. Rosy knew the angel and said that she would, but why.

"He was going to meet with the Resistance. I want him to know that when I return I will hear their verdict, but I will be away for likely several days, I have personal business to tend to."

Rosy sensed the train of thought going through the force user's mind. "You're going to build a lightsaber." She whispered, causing her to nod.

"I am."

PZ-291 opened a transmission to Phasma. His commander's voice answered and he told her about the 100 soldiers at the request of Kylo. She granted it to him, stating they would be to him soon. He thanked her before turning his attention to the retreating female. She had returned to her cave and was preparing to depart.

He used his access to her systems to find out her destination. Lullem. He sent the coordinates to the troopers incoming and informed them to head there. Her ship was in the air, sailing past into space. He followed after her.

"Sir.. She's going to Lullem." He sent to Kylo's personal shuttle.
