The Fett Legacy

CHAPTER 3

Kylo Ren was in s prisoner cell, interrogating Poe. I wanted to come along, but he denied my request. He said he needed some "privacy" with Dameron, whatever that meant. Rosemary and I returned to the Revenant, where we sat down and played some space checkers.

"So, where is Zors from?" She asked, beating me for the tenth time in a row.

"He's from Naboo. You're good at this game," I said, restarting the game.

"Yah, me and a few other young stormtroopers would play it alot. And where is Naboo?" She asked, her curiosity peaking.

"It was in the mid rim, but it was destroyed only months after Zors left," I answered.

"Oh. It seems all sorts of planets are being destroyed," she said sadly, looking down

"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at her.

"The New Republic planets are to be destroyed as soon as Star Killer Base is completely operational," she said, lifting her head again.

"What?" I yelled, standing up. "Who is in charge of this?"

"General Hux," she squeaked, frightened at my sudden outburst.

"Stay her," I ordered as I ran to look for Hux. I found him in the main bridge.

"General Hux. May I have a word, alone?"

"What is it, Fett?" He said, annoyed.

"Please, I need to speak with you," I almost pleaded. He sighed, looked around, and said, "I'll be back shortly." He walked outside of the bridge with me and I led him into the same spare room that Kylo Ren had taken me to.

"What is it, Jetta?" He asked concerned.

"You're destroying the New Republic?"

"Oh, Jetta. Please, don't go there," he said, putting his hand on his forehead and looking down.

"Armitage, is it true?" I demanded of him.

"Yes, it's true. But I have no choice."

"Armitage. I'm a bounty hunter; I won't hesitate to kill someone, only if they are worth something to me. But I would never kill innocent people."

"Jetta! Don't you see? These are the direct orders of the Supreme Leader! I can't disobey them, or I would die!" He exclaimed, exasperated.

"All those innocent people, Armitage. Billions of lives, gone. And you're okay with this?"

"No, Jetta-"

"If this is what you're truly like, then I want none of it," I said through clenched teeth.

"Jetta! Listen to me! It's already hard enough hiding my love for you. I don't want those people to die, but I have no choice. If I could stop it, I would." He said, walking over toward me and taking my hands.

"I know, I know. You're doing all you can," I sighed. "I'm sorry."

"Hey, it's okay. I love you," he whispered. "Now go, before someone finds us here."

I left the room and walked back toward the Revenant. Why would the First Order want to kill all those people? I asked myself. Well, it doesn't shock me. Why do I even work for them, after all they've done and will continue to do? My thoughts were interrupted when i heard two voices whispering in a closet.

"Listen carefully: you do exactly as I say, I can get you out of here." One voice said. I listened carefully, trying not to make a sound.

"If- what-?" The other voice said in a daze.
