DYAD'S PROMISE: Clouded Agreements of the Most Divine

Chapter 72

"Where ever we go, the Supremacy is not far behind." Lando commented as he flipped a new switch. "I think we've been tagged."

C-3P0's eye sockets went wide. "We should land and investigate."

"What we should do is put your R2 unit out there and scan the ship." He nodded.

Rey tried to stand but she was weak.

"I think we should land." C-3P0 reiterated. "Rey won't accept that she needs a bacta bath."

Lando looked behind him. "She is tough."

"You can't tough out infections." C-3P0 argued.

"What is that?" C-3P0 startled as something flew by.

Lando whopped and hollered. "Flacon you trusty hunk of junk."

Rey stumbled forward holding her new daughter, Amie. "Luke?" She asked.

"Luke?" Lando laughed.

The stealth ship landed next to the Falcon and Rey came weakly down the ramp.

"So, you dun hatched the next Skywalker?" Luke went to peek at the baby. "Doesn't look like one." He grunted.

Rey smiled. "What are you doing here?"

Rose came forward with Finn. "We been tracking the Supremacy. It's clearly been tracking you." Rose rolled her eyes. "Thought you could use a way to slip from your ex's hold."

Rey shook her head. "He's not my ex."

Finn scoffed. "Still like him after being named public enemy number one?"

She cringed. "It is all a misunderstanding." Her whisper was weak as if she wasn't certain if she believed it herself.

Poe walked out. "So, you made it. And not on your own."

Rey blinked. "Your here?"

The man nodded. "Luke couldn't stop me. Had to fight over the controls some."

"We found the way to get to Exgol." Luke cut to the point. "Hux has been.... useful."

Rey looked beyond to the man who would not make eye contact. "Show me." She whispered.

Rose reached to help Rey, but instead Rey shifted for herself.

"I am fine."

Lando shook his head. "She is not. She needs to recover. That damn loose cannon who is ruling the galaxy tried to run her down."

Luke blinked. "Kylo?"

Rey shook her head. "I don't want to talk about it."

Inside the Falcon Rey sat down. "Tell me everything." She looked over to Luke and Poe.

Poe nodded. "We will go back to Ach-To first. We must prepare for what is to come."

"What is to come?" Rey asked.

Luke sat down and looked at Rey and the baby she held. "Battle for the Galaxy. If he has what we think he might this might be the last chance we have to end this war."

Poe nodded. "General Leia will want to see you, and the kid."

Kylo stepped out onto the cracked planet the stealth ship had been left on just hours before.

Walking into the ship she came to the place his daughter had been born in. Nothing of hers had been left behind. Rey likely had so little for her that nothing was overlooked.

"No sign of them Supreme Leader."

Kylo turned his head and held his breath a moment as he scanned the space one more time.

"No." He wondered where she would go. Likely to his mother. "Scan the galaxy for the Falcon."

Left alone again he walked around the space.

"She runs from you." The crawling voice penetrated his walls. "Obvious sign of guilt."

He glared and didn't reply.

"Where are her resistance friends?" Palpatine followed his comments with a question.

Kylo paused and looked ahead. "I do not know."

"Find her. Do not forget she will use that child against you. She will use it against the galaxy."

Shaking his head, Kylo turned and left the ship with dark thoughts in his head.

One of his men stepped back. "Where to, Supreme Leader?"

"Coruscant." He snapped.

"You are not needed there." Palpatine's voice tried to stop him.

Kylo nodded. "She was there somehow. I need to see if there is a door to wherever she is or will be."

The voice went silent.
