The Fallen Knight

Mutiny Indeed - Hux

What is Ren thinking? That bastard, Armitage thought to himself as he walked out of the training room.

Kylo Ren was the last person he wanted to be taking orders from. He should be in charge. It was he, not Kylo Ren, who had given his life to the First Order, who had been born into the impressive power of the Empire. Armitage Hux had the true lineage of a General of the First Order and now he had to bow to this resistance born vermin. Snoke should never had brought him to the order. In all of his years as Supreme Leader it was his only mistake.

Kylo Ren was a child. He had no business running the First Order. He was simply Snoke's pet and an unpredictable one at that. Armitage couldn't count the amount of times he had been called to Kylo's room, or to some other room to address the damage that had been done because someone had a temper tantrum. It was a mystery as to why Snoke even kept the pathetic man around. Family lineage or not surely any of the other Knights would have been better guard dogs than Kylo Ren. He was too filled with childish emotions.

"Captain," he glanced over to Aleigha who walked silently beside him. The woman was as silent as a shadow. Armitage was glad he had picked her. She was the best Captain other than Phasma and was the best Shadow Trooper the Order had.

"Yes general" she answered, her voice slightly robotic though her helmet.

"How was your trip to Mustafar?"

"It was certainly... productive, he wants an update as soon as possible."

"I expected as much, he does not like to be kept waiting." Armitage knew the sith lord didn't like to be kept in the dark. Even as he crept in the shadows, a watchful eye on the First Orders every move.

"Once we land on Endor our plan will be put into motion, Kylo Ren killed the Supreme Leader, he and the desert rat will pay for their crimes."

Armitage had seen it on the monitors in Snoke's throne room, the blade slicing through the former Supreme Leader; Ren and that rat fighting together to kill some of the Orders most elite soldiers. He had nearly sent a firing squad to end the traitor, but he waited. His master would hav killed Snoke sooner or later and now he wanted to watch Kylo. Now all Armitage needed was to gather strength, to gather the Knights.

Ren had been corrupted by the scavenger's light and it would be easy to sway the Knights of Ren to join a new cause once they realized their faithful leader had betrayed them.

"We need the Knights with us, and turning them on Kylo Ren will be easy. They are loyal to the order once they hear of their masters betrayal they will join us. The galaxy will finally be under our control. Contact Giah Ren, tell him I have a proposition for him."

"Yes General" Aleigha answered. She turned and marched towards the command room.  

"Captain, I trust you know not to mention this to anyone, including Ren" He called after her as she strode away.

"Of course, General." she glanced back at him briefly before disappearing around the corner.

He smiled evilly to himself. The traitor would be put to death and finally it would be him in charge. Supreme Leader Armitage Hux was a much better title than General. He would surpass even his father, who had only made the rank of commander. Armitage would destroy what was left of the pathetic resistance, and then he would rid the galaxy of anyone who opposed his new order.
