You walk into Hunter's room and find him pacing.

"Are you alright?" You ask.

He nods. "Yeah. Sometimes I just... I think about what it would be like if we weren't soldiers. If we had a life like Cut." 

"What do you mean?"

"If we had a house somewhere. Omega would have a home. A real home. We wouldn't have to live in hiding."

"When you say we, do you mean...?"

"I do. Whenever we have a chance to settle down, I want you to be a part of it, Y/N."

"You want to spend your future with me?"

"I-" Hunter begins.

Wrecker opens the door of Hunter's room. "Tech says that we'll be on the planet soon."

Once Wrecker leaves, Hunter says to you, "We can talk later."

You and Hunter leave his room and wait in the common area of the ship. Your mind races, and you desperately try to control it.

Was he trying to say that he... no. It couldn't be. You think.

Once Tech lands the ship Marauder, you leave with the others. The planet that your mission is on is similar to Pantora; it's loud, bustling with people, and a place that's easy to get lost in. Echo looks over at Tech's datapad.

"Look at all of this... Cid just wants us to go grocery shopping for her." He says. 

"Why here?" You ask. "Couldn't she get all of this on Ord Mantell?"

"Not exactly." Tech responds. "Some of these things are hard to find, so it makes sense why she couldn't get them on Ord Mantell."

"Where should we start?" Omega asks.

Hunter points to market stand nearby. "There."

~

The market stand you go to has bottles of different types of alcohol. 

You look at Cid's list. "There's a lot of alcohol on this list..." 

"She's probably running low on stock." Hunter says.

"Yeah, or maybe she has her own personal stash of alcohol in her office." Echo laughs.

Hunter buys the alcohol that Cid wants. You look over at Omega. She looks bored. 

"Do you want to walk around with me?" You ask her.

Omega smiles. "Sure!" 

"We'll be back." You tell Hunter. 

You and Omega walk away from the market stand.

~

"Are you alright, Omega?" You ask.

She sighs. "All this stuff with the Empire is scary. It's hard to understand. Why would the people in the Empire keep doing all of this if they know it's hurting people?" 

You place your hand on her shoulder. "It is scary. I know. As Echo has said, the Empire is sadly filled with people who are corrupt. I don't know the exact reason why, but I think some of them feel... lost. Maybe they don't know what they should do, and the Empire gives them order." 

"That's so... sad.

"It is."

"I wish all of you could have normal lives. The Empire is after me, so we're constantly having to run."

"It's not your fault, Omega. I promise. The Empire is after me, too. All of us will do everything we can to protect you, okay?" 

She nods. "Okay."

~

As you continue walking, you notice that something feels off. You hold Omega's hand.

"Stay close to me." You tell her.

"Is something wrong?" 

"I'm just getting a weird feeling."

You turn on you com. "I'm sensing that something is off. Can you come to our location?"

"Of course." Hunter responds. "Where are you?"

You look around you. "By the ship dock." 

"We're on our way."

You hear an unfamiliar voice behind you. "The clone girl and a Jedi? Perfect." 

~

You turn around, Omega holding your hand tightly. A human wearing green and black armor stands there, holding a pistol.

"Who are you?" You ask in a stern tone.

"They call me Entropy."

"Your real name."

"I've never had one."

"Who hired you?" 

"Isn't it obvious? The Empire.

"You won't take her."

"You're right." Entropy chuckles. "I'll take both of you." 

You take out your lightsaber. "Omega, stay behind me."

Omega does so.

"You want to fight, huh? I'll warn you right now; I don't play nice."

~

You hold your lightsaber in a defensive position. 

Where are they? You think. They should be here by now.

Entropy fires her pistol. You easily block it. 

"No matter." She says, taking out a dagger.

She lunges at you. Omega moves away from you so she isn't in danger of getting hurt. Instead of slicing through her dagger, you lightsaber just clashes against it.

"Impossible..." You say. "A Beskar dagger?"

"The Empire has collected Beskar. They were able to forge it into a dagger."

She attempts to stab you in your stomach, but you use the Force to push her away. 

"Nice try."

~

The rest of the squad runs over to you. All of them take out their guns and point them at her. She begins to run. Tech stuns her unconscious before she can get away.

"What do we do with her?" Hunter asks.

"We interrogate her." You say, walking over to her.

You pick up her dagger. "This is pure Beskar. It can't be destroyed by a lightsaber like other metals."

You hand it to Hunter. "You can probably use this better than any of us."

He takes it. "Alright. We got the things Cid wanted. Should we head back to Ord Mantell?"

Everyone nods.

"I have a contact who can deal with the bounty hunter and interrogate her more after we're done. For now, she'll need to be on our ship."

~

You and Hunter go back to his room and sit on the bed. Hunter holds your hand.

"About earlier..." He begins. "I do want to spend my future with you. I know that you're a Jedi, and that they have their code, but..."

"Well, yes, I'm a Jedi, but I love you, Hunter. The Order doesn't really exist anymore. There isn't that much of a code anymore."

"So in the future, we could get..."

"Married?" You both say in unison.

You blush. Hunter smiles.

"Don't worry. When I ask you, it'll be romantic and not on the ship." Hunter laughs.

You laugh with him. You look into Hunter's eyes. 

Married... You think.
