Wasted Years

Chapter 5

The next morning they flew off and plotted a course to the planet that supposedly had the parts they needed. Amethyst napped quite a bit during the long flight there wasn't much that needed to be done during the flight, especially since Kylo also took a little cat naps.

Mitaka helped Phasma fly the pod. The elder hux tapped his sister awake. She had to bleach her hair, and her brothers hair needed darkening. He trimmed the on growing beard, he couldn't shave it off, lest people recognize him. While the dyes' we setting she worked on removing the left over patches on clothing they kept instead of trading. Like a few cloaks they had as survival materials. Amethyst would sell off the patches if needed on the next planet.

When the time was up, Amethyst washed out her hair and her brothers. Armitage now a dark auburn and Amethyst a bleach blonde. She appeared to look more like Phasma. Her black eyes had darkened since the previous day, with the mix of her new hair her skin looked shallow and thin, it looked like she survived a battle. She didn't try to cover it up either, Amethyst got the look she was going for. Even if it was a bit painful receiving it.

Kylo's wounds on the other hand have mostly healed by now. He could easily walk and stretch as he pleased. So he has taken this new mobility to annoy everyone on board, with more ease. Every morning he does some workouts as best as he could in the cramped pod.

He even practiced using the force on Amethyst, or messing with Mitaka, who looked like he was about to cry every time happened.

"Kylo, I may have helped heal you, but I will murder you." Amethyst spoke calmly as he pushed her chair away from him without looking at her.

"Prove it, you couldn't fight me if you wanted to."

"Whys that?" she glared, stabbing him with a needle giving him more medication.

"Because you couldn't even say no." He looked at her. Her heart dropped. How dare he, HOW DARE HE!

Instead of being hit like he expected, she just left. Kylo could feel that he ruined her mood, she gave off a depressed aura. She locked herself in the pod's bathroom. They entered the planets atmosphere in that moment and Armitage stood up, ready to return to his cot while everyone was out.

Phasma landed with ease and went to retrieve Amethyst. Phasma didn't even need to knock on the door, Amethyst walked out, she looked like she has been crying but she freshened up.

"Ready to go Phasma?"

"Yes." The taller woman nodded. They unlocked the pod doors and left, to return a few hours later.

Mitaka took to cleaning up the pod. Most of the things laying around were junk they could pawn off. It was either broken, or useless to their needs. Mitaka was sure Amethyst could use her charms and get something greater in the end. Kylo watched as Dopheld worked.

"Even when you don't have to answer to anyone, you act as a lower level soldier." Kylo comments

"At least I don't I bully people just because they're helping me." Mitaka risked 'stepping out of line', and speaking his mind. Immediately after saying it he tensed.

This struck a nerve, and Mitaka was sure that Kylo was going to kill him right then and there. His body ready for an attack, anything really. For some reason the knight didn't. Not even try to choke him. Mitaka risked a glance towards the sith. Kylo was glaring at the wall. He knew that the short male was right.

Mitaka sighed in relief and walked away.

...

Phasma walked behind Amethyst, she towered over the generals sister. Said woman was chatting intently with a local. Both laughing as seeming as if they were friends from birth. The local walked way and Phasma looked down, to address her.
