Chapter 12

"Listen to me, will you?" Han said to Leia, who was doing anything but that.

"I know every time you...Every time you look at me, you're reminded of him."

"You think I want to forget him? I want him back."

"There's nothing more we could have done. There's too much Vader in him. "

Laylanis head perked up, she was trying to fix BB-8s antenna when she heard that. It was rare he grandfather gotten brought up.

"That's why I wanted him to train with Luke. I just never should have sent him away. That's when I lost him. That's when I lost you, Luke and Laylani."

"We  had to deal with it in our own way. I went back to the only thing I was ever good at, so did Lani."

"We all did. "

"We lost our son. Forever." It pained Han to say that, but he pushed through.

"No. It was smoke. He seduced our son to the dark side. But we can still save him. Me. You. And laylani."

"If Luke couldn't reach him, how could I or Laylani?"

"Luke is a Jedi. You're his father. There's still light in him, I know it. " Leia said, looking at Laylani laughing at the droid and back at Han.

"General... the reconnaissance report on the enemy base is coming." And with those words she walked away.

Han sighed, looking at Laylani. He felt bad for her. She wasn't even supposed to be here, she was meant to be at home. Spending time with her father with the little time he had left.

The mandalorian who was once a big deal, was now almost 60. He was the same however. Still living with grogu and her.

Rey was in a chair, that looked more like something made for torture.

Metal clangs and she was woken up, gasping in shock. She looks down and notices her wrists are bound. "Where am I? " she questions kylo Ren in front of her.

"You're my guest. "

"Where are the others?"

"Do you mean the murderers.. traitors, and thieves you call friends? You'll be relieved to hear I have no idea. You still want to kill me." He says.

"That happens when you're being hunted by a creature in a mask." She said, making sure he understood every words and picked up all of it.

He took off his mask, revealing not Kylo Ren, but instead Ben Solo.

"I look a lot like Kaylani don't I? " he said, practically reading her mind without.. well reading her mind.

He placed his helmet down and walked up to her. "Tel me about the droid." He said.

"He's a BB unit with a selenium drive and a thermal hyper scan vindicator. He also trusts Laylani a lot." She said quickly.

"It's carrying a section of a navigation chart. And we have the rest. Recovered from the archives of the empire but we need the last piece. And somehow she convinced the droid to show it to her. And you. You. A scavenger, and a bounty hunter." He said the last part referring to Laylani.

"You know I can take whatever I want." He reached his hand up to her head and began searching through her memories, trying to find something.

"You're so lonely. So afraid to leave. At night, desperate to sleep. You imagine an ocean. I see it. I see the island. And Han Solo. You feel like he's the father you never had. He would have disappointed you. And Laylani, you think of her like a older sister. How ironic. She's a traitor, backstabber." He spat coldly.

"Get out of my head." She said, and surprisingly he did.

"I know you've seen the map. It's in there. And now you'll give it to me. Don't be afraid I feel it too." He said as Rey struggled more and more to keep him out of her head.

"I'm not giving you anything." She said to him.

"We'll see." He said, using more force to look deeper, and more in depth.

She was struggling and straining against him as much as she could, as much as her body would let her.

"You. You're afraid. That you will never be as strong as Darth Vader. " she said. He let go of her harshly making her exhale.

He shuddered.

He then went to Snoke to tell him what he knew now.

"The scavenger... resisted you?" Snoke said, loudly as always.

"She is strong with the force. Untrained but stronger than she knows."

"And the Droid?" Snoke asks.

"Ren believed it was no longer valuable to us. That the girl was all we needed. As a result, the droid has most likely been returned to the hands of the enemy. They may have the map already." Hux spoke as he walked in.

"Then the resistance must be destroyed before they get to Skywalker. Especially Laylani Djarin. She's been messing up our work for years, it ends now!"

"We have their location. We tracked their reconnaissance ship to the Ileenium system." Hux said to Snoke.

"Good. Then we will crush them once and for all. Prepare the weapon."
