Star Wars: A Resistance Story Book 4.

Chapter 9: Unexpected Revelations.

As the Corellian Cargo was leaving Corsucant's atmosphere, Rey helped by Chewie, engaged the Light Speed and the automatic pilot.

"And here we go..."

Noticing the young woman's voice, Chewbacca turned his face on her and groaned softly. The Jedi smiled slightly looking at her friend.

"I know... I know we can do it. I only hope we'll do it on time."

The Wookie nodded and looked down. Rey knew that this mission was complicated for him. Even if he had known Ben since he was a kid, he also saw him kill his best friend. On the other hand, he was the only family remaining he had. The young woman stood up and gently placed a hand on his shoulder before leaving the cockpit. She then found the rest of the group, settled in the main room of the ship.

"Even with the modifications we brought with Chewie, the Falcon will need at least a day of journey."

Poe nodded silently before standing up. He headed towards one of the holds and took out a big bag.

"It's not a problem. I took some things to keep us busy."

Calmly seated in front of Hux, a hand on her tummy as the baby was kicking regularly, Ly'ra arched a brow and let out a small laugh as she saw what would keep them busy.

"Seriously? Do you imagine we'll fight off an army or something like that?"

The pilot offered a charming smile before taking out all the weapons he brought. Blasters, riffles, crossbows, thermal detonators, mines and also the double blade Ly'ra was always bringing around few months ago.

"Let's say I prefer being ready. I'm not a Jedi and Hux and Chewie neither. And you my Love, you can have all these incredible powers, don't take it bad, but using your lightsaber might be a bit complicated right now... So at least we have some things to protect ourselves."

The former General sighed, even if he had to admit he agreed with the pilot. He nodded softly before leaning in to take a thermal detonator.

"Even if I don't like admitting it, he's right. But I'm not sure that bombs will be efficient against ghosts."

Armitage's words were welcome by a cold silence. Chewie let out a shrill groan, BB8 beeped nervously, R2 started shaking and Poe frowned, turning his brown eyes on him. Then, very slowly, he glanced at the three Jedis who were trying to escaped discreetly.

"Ly'ra...?"

Rey leaned towards the young woman, whispering:

"You didn't tell him?"

"He wasn't even supposed to come with us in the first place!"

Behind the girls, Dameron was starting to grow impatient and raised his voice.

"Hey! What is this about?"

After a moment, Ly'ra turned back on her heels and sighed nervously.

"Alright... Yeah it's true, the weapons you took won't be useful at all. Korriban is not really a planet like the others..."

Staying silent, Poe crossed his arms on his chest and arched a brow, inviting the young woman to go on. Ly'ra glared at Hux as he looked down, before going back to seat to explain.

"Fine... A long time ago, Korriban was part of the former Sith Empire. It was thousands of years ago. Quickly, people realised that this planet had a kind of specific aura. A powerful link with the Force. It was the kind of planets that attracted the Siths or the Jedis. A bit like..."

"Exegol... Dathomir..."

The young woman looked up at her husband and nodded softly before going on:
