The New Sith (Sequel to The New Jedi)

Chapter 2

Finn POV

Today is the day of the scouting. I should be confident in our troops but frankly I am very nervous. I have a feeling they will spot us and soon attack. I understand that we need to collect more knowledge but sending a quarter of our fleet is ridiculous.

What if they destroy it, that's a lot of ships. But we have skilled pilots and people that know the outer rim like the back of their hand. I will be at our lead ship while the scouting happens. I will have to make the decisions if things go wrong.

I am all ready to board my shuttle when Poe coms me. I pick up. "Hello."
"Hey, Finn. Ready for the scouting?" Poe is on one of the ships heading to Kamino. He will be an X-wing on standby in case it gets rough.

"Yeah, I'm going to fly myself to the lead ship." Poe smirks,"Making all the decisions. Don't get me killed, buddy", he jokes. "That sounds tempting." He frowns. "I'm kidding", I joke and see a look of relief on his face.

"Think I'll see a Sith?", he asks. "Probably not, but be on the lookout", I say emotionless.
"You okay, buddy?", Poe asks concerned. Even though he despises Zeth, he knew Rey and knows how much she meant to me. "I'm fine", I say firmly.

"Well my friend, I'm counting on you. See you soon", Poe says with a salute. "See you soon", I salute back and hang up. I check to see if I have all of my belongings. Since I'll be on the lead ship a lot, I have my own quarters on it. The ship is triple the size of a Star Destroyer.

This is the first time we'll be using the ship. Actually we haven't named it yet. I put my belongings in the shuttle and go to the pilots seat. Memories of Rey and I flying to different places bombard me. I wave them off, Rey is dead.

There is a chance....

"NO", I say out loud. I must not think those thoughts, they will make us lose the war. Zeth knows this and will use them against me. I turn on the controls and fly out of the atmosphere. I get a transmission from the ship.

Ship: ID Number.
Myself: 558, requesting clearance.
Ship: accepted.

I have my own personal hangar on the ship. Of course it isn't as large as the others but it's quicker to land than the other ones. I land in the hangar. As I step out the shuttle, Jase and two mechanics greet me. "Greetings Head General", Jase says with a salute.

"Hello, General", I salute back. Because the mechanics are here we must be formal. "You two may inspect the ship and do your other orders", I say to them and they quickly get to work. "I am here to escort you to your quarters", Jase says.

I grab my bags. "They needed a General to give me directions?", I joke. He smiles,"Well actually I'm there to escort you the conference room too, sir", he answers back. "Follow me." He leads me to an elevator. "This elevator is yours, the door next to it leads to the rest of the ship.

Jase had supervised the construction of the ship so he knows his way around. We hop in the elevator and press the only button, up. The ride is in silence as we approach my quarters. The door opens to a luxurious living area and open kitchen.

Windows cover almost an entire wall. "This place is very extravagant, Jase." He smiles proud of his work. "I made sure you had the best quarters possible. You will be here a lot, Finn", he explains. I continue to look around. "Let me show you around", Jase says.
