Author's Note: Welcome back to Hiding in Plain Sight. Thank you for getting this far and sticking this story out with me! I always appreciate seeing people reading along, and I love seeing and replying to your comments! Enjoy!

-Pryde POV-

He couldn't wait for Dameron. It'd been too slow to organise an attack, and he needed to rescue Nova, now. He had readied his fleet, and Dameron had spared what he could when Pryde had told him he was hitting Kylo's ship and wasn't waiting any longer. He needed to get Nova out of there, before Kylo and the Knights traumatised and damaged her too much and she'd be of no use to him at all. He only hoped his daughter's spirit had held out and she still had some fight left in her. At least when he got her back, she'd be wanting a fight with the Knights.

"Leader Pryde, we have fighters ready to go, and the star destroyers are ready also. We are ready to hit the Ren Fleet whenever you give the order."

Enric nodded at this second in command, "Let's go meet his fleet. Send a search and rescue aboard whilst they are distracted. I want my daughter. Take the Corellian Hounds, kill the Knights if they get in your way. They're trained and ready for blood."

"Yes Sir." His second in command left his office, leaving Pryde to his thoughts, watching out of the window of his office as the Fleet made their way toward Kylo's fleet, and soon, he'd be joined by the New Resistance. Kylo Ren had no idea what was about to rain down on him...

-Kylo POV-

The New Supremacy and the entire Final Order fleet were on red alert, and battle stations. They weren't sure what it was that was happening, but something was coming. Powell was never wrong. And then he had gotten word from Judak, his spy within Pryde's order, and Pryde was at battle stations too. Another attack from both sides was coming so it would seem. Kylo kept the fleet orbiting Kuat, more and more ships from their ship building yard being added to Kylo's fleet. He had constant TIE fighter patrols, they had more cadets from the academy and training stations shipped in. It was a war machine, and the cogs were turning in earnest now.

Nova was beside him as he talked through their battle plans and security details with his higher ranking officers. Nova sat, dressed in robes that matched him, her violet hair curled around her face and the back covered by the hood of her robe up shading her face, one leg over the other, her foot bouncing as she listened. Kylo sat beside her in his own robes, they presented a united front. Kylo could sense the fear from the officers at the sight of them together – and Kylo loved it. They were the leadership of the Final Order. He loved it, something in him sang. He was the Supreme Leader, and Nova was his apprentice. But maybe they could have better titles. Emperor and Empress... Now that had a ring to it. When they defeated the Resistance and Pryde, they'd rule together. Their partnership was impenetrable, and unwavering. They were the last truly powerful Force Users in the Galaxy, their partnership made sense. He could hear Snoke's mocking voice in his mind again, and he shoved it down into some dark crevice in his mind.

"There should be a changing orbit for the star destroyers, and the TIE fighters zipping between. Creating an almost net of protection around the New Supremacy. This is the centre of power for the Galaxy. Protecting it, is paramount." Nova finally spoke, pointing at the security and patrol plans that were currently in play. Kylo listened and watched her change the plans and order the officers to better the plans. He liked watching her in her element. She had truly been wasted in R&D weaponry.

An admiral at the other side of the table spoke up, looking Nova up and down condescendingly, "Supreme Leader, with all due respect to the Major-"

Kylo cut the man off, using the Force to choke the admiral and slamming him against the wall behind where he had been sat, the man remaining on the floor in a crumpled heap, "Let me make something clear to you all.... Do as my Apprentice states, she is correct. And her title is Apprentice Ren. You will obey her as you would me. She is my right hand and my second in command. If she orders you to do something, you will do it as if I have ordered it. Do you understand?"
