The Fett Legacy

CHAPTER 23

"Ouch, Jetta, get off of me!" Armitage said. I rolled back over and looked at the ceiling.

"I'm sorry, Armitage. I just can't sleep." He turned to look at me.

"Jetta, I don't want to leave either," he said, rubbing his hand along one of my scars. I grabbed his hand, not letting go.

"I'm going with you," I said. "Kylo wanted me as well."

"Yes, but-"

"Let's not start this again," I said, still holding his hand.

"Your eyes, have they always glowed like that?" He asked, changing the subject.

"What do you mean?"

"They're so yellow, that they glow."

"I've never noticed that they glow."

"Neither have I, but you always keep your helmet on, so I don't see your face all that often," he said. We both laid in silence, drifting to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I looked over to see Armitage putting on his uniform.

"Good morning, Jetta," he said, putting his shirt on over his head. I sat up and got out of bed.

"Good morning, Armitage," I said as I walked over to Jango. He was still sound asleep. I carefully picked him up, and held him close.

"When are you leaving?" I asked, looking at Armitage, who was now completely dressed.

"In a few minutes," he said.

"Very well; hold Jango for a minute," I said. I put Jango in his arms and walked into our closet, grabbing my armor and putting it in. When I walked back over to Armitage, he scowled.

"Jetta."

"Not this morning, Armitage," I said, taking Jango back. "I'm going to wake Rosemary and Raymund, or whatever his name is." I left the room and walked over to Rosemary's room. The door opened and she was already awake, talking with the Mirialan boy.

"Pack your things," I said. "We're leaving."

She nodded. I left the room and walked back to Armitage.

"Have you been aboard the Finalizer before?" Armitage asked, adjusting his shirt collar.

"No, I don't believe I have," I said, grabbing a case and putting my things in it. Rosemary ran into the room with Raylef or whoever.

"Mom, when exactly are we leaving?" She asked.

"Very soon. In fact, I'm ready. I'll take you to the Revenant now." I walked out of the room, and gave Jango to Rosemary. She held him, unsure of what to do, as I put my helmet on. I took Jango back, and he remained surprisingly calm, his green eyes curiously looking into my helmet. We took the lift up to the landing pad and boarded the Revenant. The Mirialan kid looked around and said, "This is a nice ship, Miss Fett."

"Thank you, Raylef." I sat Jango down and told Rosemary to stay with him; T3 would be here soon.

"Its Rayuf," he corrected.

"Oh, sorry," I said while climbing up to the cockpit. "Come up here with me." He followed me up and sat down, looking at everything in the cockpit.

"How old are you?" I asked, prepping the ship for takeoff.

"I'm 15."

"So, a little older than Rose. Do you have any parents?"

"No, they were killed."

"Do you know how?"

"No."

Armitage then climbed up the ladder and sat down as well.

"Here are coordinates of the Finalizer," he said. I punched them in and lifted the ship, guiding us back into space.

"Who are you?" Rayuf asked, looking at Armitage.

"I am General Hux of the First Order," he answered, looking out the window as we left the atmosphere.

"The first order?" He said, sounding worried.

"Didn't Rosemary tell you?" I asked, turning to look at him. He must've just noticed the symbol on my shoulder.

"N-no, she failed to t-tell me that," he stuttered, his eyes widening.

"Well, guess what? We are," I said, jumping to hyperspace. He stood up and went down to the cargo hold. I sighed and leaned back.

"Is something wrong?" Armitage asked.

"No, I'm just tired," I answered. "And I'd rather not see Kylo right now."

"Soon, he'll be dead, and I'll be Supreme Leader," he said.

"I can help you," I said, looking at him.

"We will rule the galaxy, everyone bowing at our feet. No one to stop us."

I grinned. He was right. If we could gain control of the galaxy, we would be unstoppable. I pulled us out of hyperspace, and approached Kylo Ren's Star Destroyer.

"Incoming ship, please identify yourself." A male voice said over my communication chann.

"This is Jetta Fett," I answered. He was silent for a moment.

"Jetta Fett, bounty hunter of the First Order, what is your identification number?" He asked.

"JF-5604," I stated.

"You have an identification number?" Armitage whispered.

"Yes, it was my gift for joining the First Order," I whispered back. He raised his eyebrows and sighed.

"JF-5604, please enter through hangar 87. Welcome to the Finalizer. Kylo Ren is waiting for you on the bridge."

I steered the Revenant into the designated hangar and landed. I climbed down the ladder, followed by Armitage. I walked over to Jango and checked on him; for a newborn child, he slept a lot.

"Rose, Rayuf, stay here. I'll be back."

Rose looked at me, her eyes filled with sadness. I didn't what to do, so I left the ship. Armitage and I walked over to the lift and entered it. As the doors closed, we stood in silence.

"Well, Fett, it has been a pleasure being with you," he said, staring at the lift doors.

"Likewise, General," I said in response. The lift doors opened and Kylo Ren was waiting for us in the bridge.

"Jetta, I need to talk with you," he said. He looked concerned and angry. I had a bad feeling about this.
