"Fine but let me handle Boba in my own way. He never betrayed me, not really any way. He told me from day one that bounty hunting would always come first. I agreed to those terms." Kylo started to reply but Catherine held up her hand to silence him. "Please hear me out. Did Boba go back on his word to protect me until I reached the legal age to be on my own? Technically no. I should have been 15 when I became Jabba's slave for the first time. Did he go back on his word that we'd always be family? No. Did he turn me in for money? Yes however, as I said, I knew that someone placing a bounty on my head one day would be a very strong possibility. I just didn't think it would be so soon. The two times Boba turned me in for the bounty were not personal it was just business. That's the way things have always been and will always be."

"That does not matter. In order to become one with the dark side of the force you must put aside the entire notion of forgiveness. Forgiveness, mercy, love, those ideals make you weak and I won't tolerate a weak apprentice." Kylo replied.

Although Catherine hadn't said it out loud Kylo knew what she was thinking love did not make one weak. "It was love that brought down your father. It was his act of mercy that caused his death. Love does make you weak. Do not question me on this issue again." Kylo replied Catherine winced as a surge of pain rushed through her entire body. She knew instantly what was causing it. He had entered her thoughts and was reading her mind.

"Get out of my head!" Catherine thought angrily.

"Make me." Kylo taunted back.

Catherine knew this was a battle of wills and she was currently loosing. "Stay out of my head!" She replied with a growl unable to block Kylo from continuing to read her thoughts.

Kylo sighed and released his mind grip on her. "You have much still to learn my apprentice. Things would be so much easier for you if you'd only stop resisting my training."

"I am not resisting your training, I do see the wisdom in what your trying to teach me. It's just that I don't wish to harm those I care about. I know I must embrace my feelings especially my anger and I shall try but it's hard. I've tried for so long to forget the hurt of my past. Seeking revenge is more painful to me then you realize. Though I do have have a plan to make Demon suffer for how he treated me."

"Oh? Please elaborate on this plan of revenge of yours." Kylo replied.

"I'm sure you are aware that Jackie's daughter is General Hux's fiancé."

"Yes, I am aware of that what does that have to do with anything?" Kylo asked.

"As per our agreement I sold Jackie's daughter to Demon and his sons as a way of getting revenge for how her parents tossed me aside."

"Go on."

"I should like to inform Hux that his fiancé is no longer aboard the space station and inform him that after an extensive search for her whereabouts I have discovered them."

"What would that accomplish?"

"I shall inform Hux that because he didn't give into Demon's demand to return me to his custody Demon kidnapped his Fiancé as a way of forcing our hand and that Demon is now holding his fiancé for ransom. I shall inform Hux that his Fiancé will not be returned to The First Order until I am transferred aboard Demon's ship."

"Again what is it that you hope this will accomplish?" Kylo asked.

"Knowing Hux he will see this as an attack not only on himself and his honor but as an attack on The First Order. I'm sure He will order a search be made for Demon's ship and upon capture I'm fairly certain he will have Demon and his son's killed for their audacious actions. Not only will he have them killed he will do it publicly as a way to install fear into those who would dare defy The First Order." Catherine replied and Kylo chuckled.

"So you've figured out a way to get revenge on numerous targets at one time. I'm impressed. Well done my apprentice." Kylo replied smiling underneath his helmet. " Since you have done so well in obtaining your vengeance I shall reward you by allowing you to deal with Boba Fett in your own way and on your own terms. However, don't think this gives him a free pass. He must be punished for what he's done to you." Kylo replied.

"But he never committed any crimes against me..."'Catherine replied.

"As far as I'm concerned he did. He turned his back on you on numerous occasions and in doing so He betrayed you. That alone is worthy of death. However, as I said, I'll allow you to deal with this bounty hunter in what ever manor you deem best." Kylo replied.

"Thank you." I replied. "I should like to meet with him alone if that's alright."

"That is fine. I hand some other business to attend too anyway. Remember, my apprentice, do not let your feelings of love towards this bounty hunter cloud your judgement. I shall be very disappointed in you should I find that you have not carried out some form of punishment for his betrayals. In fact, if I do find out that you forgave him and did not punish him I shall be forced to punish you and believe you me, you will find yourself wishing you had done as I ordered. For your punishment shall be severe. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes. I understand completely." I replied with a nod of my head. Eagerly I rushed to the docking bay. However upon arrival I frowned. The Slave1 was no where in sight. "You there! Where is the bounty hunter who docked here a few hours ago? I demanded.

"No ships have docked since yesterday. We did have a request from a ship to board the base but General Hux has ordered that no ships are allowed to dock except ships from the First Order and that we are to destroy any non First Order ship's on sight should any attempt be made to dock. I'm sorry Ma'am. I had no choice but to obey the General's orders."

"What are you saying?" I demanded angrily my grip on his throat tightening.

"Despite our warnings the bounty hunter still attempted to dock we had no choice but to fire upon the ship."

"You fired upon my father's ship!?" I demanded angrily my grip tightening once more. The walls of the hanger bay starting to shake around us. Much got everyone's fright they knew only two things could cause the hanger bay to shake like it was. Either the base was under attack which was highly unlikely or someone very powerful was making the shuttle bay to shake. Since Kylo Ren was no where to be found they knew that I had to be the one causing the bay to shake.

"I.. I had no choice..." The officer replied gasping for breath. "I'm sorry. I never would have fired upon the ship had I known that you were expecting them. Please forgive me... I am sorry... I'm so sorry. I was only following orders."

I frowned but realized that killing this storm trooper wouldn't be satisfying. "Don't make a mistake like that again or it will be your last Now return to your duties before I change my mind about letting you live!" I growled.

"Thank you ma'am." The guard replied sighing with relief. "The last thing I'd want is to receive disciplinary action. Especially since that action usually results in a intensive interrogation and ultimately being sent to the reprogramming facility for reprogramming. I have had a spotless record up until now and I really don't want to be sent to the facility. I'm told it is a horrible experience and is quite painful."

"I'm sorry, we're how talking to me? I thought I made myself clear that you were to return to your duties?" I replied.

"Yes Ma'am right away Ma'am!" The guard replied saluting me before rushing off.

"Pathetic." I replied rolling my eyes as I watched him rush off eager to continue his duties. I sighed.

"You should have killed him. Why didn't you?" I heard Kylo saying. I looked around but did not see Kylo anywhere.

"Stay out of my head!" I growled using the force to block Kylo from entering my mind again. Then I turned my attention to the task at hand. "Hux was going to pay dearly for what he'd done!" As I exited the hanger bay the walls stopped shaking.

"I hate to be in the General's shoes." I heard one of the Stormtroopers who were nearby whisper. "She's as powerful if not more so then Lord Ren. Did you see how the walls shook and nearly collapsed in on themselves when we informed her that we had fired upon the bounty hunter's ship. The General is a dead man."
