Chapter 7

 It was when we had come out of hyperspace that I remembered why Dantooine sounded familiar.

Dantooine was where Kykkin's head-quarters was.

My former home.

Reyjin squeezed my shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"Huh?" I looked at her. "Oh, um, yeah. I'm fine."

I was the opposite.

Reaga was studying us from across the cockpit. 

"Where are you from, Winera?" she asked suddenly."You've never told me."

I swallowed. "Dagobah." Half-lie. 

For real?

Wait... what?! I stared at Reyjin. Was she speaking in my head? I decided to try it.

Um... did you say something?

I'm not kidding, she jumped like thirty feet into the air. 

Am I crazy, or are you speaking in my head?

Um...

SWEET! This is so cool!

Zenla was looking at Reyjin, confused. One second Reyjin's just sitting there, the next she's flying through the air, and now she's laughing her head off. 

"I'm scared to ask." 

I lowered the ship towards the ground and tried to control my shaking. It'll be fine, I told myself. Kykkin is probably gone by now. 

Wishful thinking.

"What is that?" Kristern was looking at a familiar facility. 

I swallowed hard. "Dunno." A real lie this time. 

Kykkin was still here. Kykkin was still here. He knows my ship. He knows me.

"So, split up?" Regga was looking at me funny. I swallowed again. 

"Sure." My throat suddenly went dry. 

"I'll kill you! You, and whoever you're with! Have fun, Hunter-girl." Kykkin's parting words echoed in my mind.

I had to keep Reyjin away from that base. 

Sadly, Reyjin had no idea.

"Kristern and Regga will try to find out where Aera is exactly, while us others scout around over there." She waved her arm towards the facility. 

No.

She looked at me, confused, but only for a second. "Let's go."

She set out, giving me no choice but to follow. 

Zenla trailed a little farther behind. "Reyjin, I don't know if this is a good ideeeaaah..." She trailed off.

"What?" Reyjin turned around and instantly grabbed her lightsabor. 

I turned around a moment later and froze.

So... Kykkin has an army now.
