Some violence in this chapter, but hopefully not too severe for you to handle.

Fun little trivia before we start. This entire chapter was written as the original chapter 6 (A Dinner and Sunset) but I decided against using it until a better time. Full description at the end of the chapter because I find it interesting and I hope you do too.

I don't own anything.
==========================================
"I agree." Barcalon's blue eyes begin to sear through the two of you. "It IS good to see you, cuz."

Krennic's hands clamp into a fist. "Cut to the chase. What do you want?"

"If you're patient, maybe I'll tell you."

Orson's scowl deepens. "You're here to kill me, aren't you?" He reaches up and uncoils his cape, allowing it to fall to the floor.

"Not just that, Little Kren. I'm here to take everything from you."

That was it. Krennic snaps and he shoots forwards, his left hand coiled to hit her. "DON'T CALL ME THAT!!" Barcalon's smirk disappears and her eyes turn dead serious. She draws back her left fist and bolts towards Krennic. The two cousins strike each other on the right side; Krennic hitting Barcalon's hip and she in his ribs. They stagger past each other before whirling around and engaging in an extremely fast paced fist fight.

Your hand sits on your blaster, ready to help, yet you can't shoot Barcalon without risking Orson's life. Your eyes dart back and forth, wincing when one stuck the other. Both had an insane skill in hand-to-hand combat and you didn't have the eye to tell who had the upper hand on the fight.

Barcalon swings her leg towards Orson's ankles. He jumps over it and strikes out his arm. She dodges his fist and tries to seize his arm but ends up with a fist to her stomach. Barcalon stumbled backwards, setting a large gap between him and her. "You've gotten better," Barcalon says, a hint of impression in her voice. She resets her stance, placing both fists at her hips. Her knees are partially bent and one foot, though lagging behind in distance, is turned perpendicular to her other one.

"I've had my reasons to," Orson responds. He curls his arms upwards, hands balled up parallel to his nose. His stance is an odd one, with his weight shifted to one foot while the other was nearly suspended off the ground.

"Is it because of (her/him)?" Barcalon nods towards your direction. "I knew you would fall in love but I didn't imagine it would be over someone so... unappealing to look at."

You feel your blood boil and you cock your blaster. Orson is also offended by her remark and he shows it by charging at her. She ducks out of his fist's path but doesn't see his leg until it's slammed into her gut, flinging her back. Barcalon tumbles out the doorway into the hall. Orson doesn't waste anytime chasing her out.

You rush into the hallway, your blaster in front of you. You freeze when you hear a blaster click. Barcalon has her back against the wall, a blaster in her hand. Krennic trapped in her arm by his neck, struggling to breathe.

Orson looks at you with a wild expression as he claws helplessly at Barcalon's arm. With a cold smirk, his cousin speaks. "You know, I've never had much respect from you, Krennic, but having an apprentice to satisfy your romantic needs? I'd never expect you to dip that low."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Barcalon," You say. "You don't have to do this." You're terrified. You can't outrun a blaster shot to save Krennic and there's no way he'll be able to move without her shooting him first.

Barcalon turns her attention to you. Then she points her blaster at you. "So you're Little Kren's pet, isn't that right (Full Name)? Is he treating you well? Or is he manipulating you into a workhorse?"

You don't know what to answer so you switch topics. "Let him go!"

Barcalon is about to respond when you hear shouting. Krennic's four Death Troopers come surging in, their blaster a pointing directly at Barcalon and Krennic. "Barcalon Reid! Release Orson Krennic this instant and out your hands in the air where we can see them!" DT-RY booms. "Put your hands up and release Orson Krennic now!"

Barcalon doesn't listen. She shifts her hand and drives the blaster trip into the side of Krennic's head. "Take one step closer and Krennic's dead."

No one moves. The Death Troopers continue to order Barcalon without moving any closer. Krennic's face is starting to turn slightly white. "(Name), please," he whispers. You want to help him but right now you're shaking in your boots and there is no way you can save him fast enough.

For some reason, you raise your blaster and shoot. The shot hits Barcalon right in the hand. She drops her blaster howling and releases Orson. Orson falls to the ground, first to his knees and then to his side. He's choking and gasping for breath.

You dive and seize Barcalon's blaster. You throw it behind you before getting kicked in the face. Barcalon strikes you again, sending your own blaster across the floor. You scramble to your feet and manage to punch Barcalon. She recoils, then hits back and you go flying across the hall.

The next thing you know, Felici and a number of stormtroopers appear in the area. "Felici!" You cry, relieved. "Help me detain this woman! She's crazy!"

Felici glances at Barcalon. They yank out their pistol and cock it to a high stun energy level. They point it at Barcalon. Her eyes widen and she bolts to escape. The Death Troopers open fire, trying to hit her. That's when Felici turns and yells "Fire!" They shoot at narrowly miss Ryuzaki. The stormtroopers turn on the Death Troopers, who are forced into retreat.

Orson lets out an inhuman yell. Anger propelling him, he throws himself onto Barcalon and puts her into a knee lock. Suddenly he's no longer the Director you love. He's gone completely insane. Krennic tears at Barcalon like she's his prey.

Felici kicked Orson off Barcalon, who rolls to her feet while Orson was down. Orson leaps to a standing position only to have the ground torn out from under him as she stole his blaster. She uses it to shoot Matsuda in the knee, who falls promptly. At the same time, Felici rushes over and knees Near, pushing him away. Mello and Ryuzaki both fires at Barcalon, who hides behind the stormtroopers, shooting back. Mello is shot in the forehead. Meanwhile, Krennic's fist got the better of Barcalon.

You shoot down the stormtroopers to even the fight. Then you survey your options. You can fight Felici and help the Death Troopers or you can help Krennic and fight Baraclon. You choose Felici. Just like how Krennic and Barcalon seem to know each other's moves, you know Felici's.

Felici saw you coming and shouted something to Barcalon. They tried to suk your grasp but ended up in Matsuda's who threw them to the ground.

"Felici! Why are you doing this?" You demanded.

"Krennic is in the wrong. The superweapon should never have been created it! It'll just bring terror to the world!" Felici struggled to escape Matsuda's grasp, which was slowly cutting off their circulation to the hands.

"But it could bring about peace!" You said. You hardly knew what to expect from the superweapon and yet here you were defending it.

That's when a new wave of stormtroopers came in. In the front of them was none other than Coronal Holst. "Holst?" You had a feeling this was going to go downhill. And you hated being right. In that moment of distraction, Felici and Barcalon escaped their attacker's grasp and ran behind Holst. "CUT THEM DOWN!" Holst barks.  The stormtroopers fire upon the sox of you with a reign of stuns.
==========================================
Oh shoot! What have I done?!

To complete the author's note from before, I don't delete anything. I still have the original description of Krennic's internal thoughts about you, which was supposed to go in the second chapter (First Day). I'll get to releasing them some day.

This script was written as a confrontation between Lieutenant Yolgar Lyste and Krennic with you as captive. Lyste felt under appreciated by the Empire and so he took you as hostage and threatened to kill you. Krennic then saved you and the first kiss ensued.

Then I remembered reading a Hux X Reader fanfic that started off exactly the same way. Deciding chapter 6 was too close to chapter 1, I decided this idea was more plagiarism than my own. But I didn't throw it away.

Come chapter 14 and 15 and here's the perfect opportunity. Lyste becomes Barcalon and you and Krennic swap places. The kiss comes beforehand and the consequences are on the protagonists (or antagonists depending on what you think).

So that's that. Hope you enjoyed that little rant!
