At the Karthon Chop Fields, the prisoners were working on all of the large scrap metals that surrounded them when a guard droid comes up to one of them. "Inmate three-four-six-six-seven." The droid said as he goes up to Mayfeld, who doesn't respond.

"Inmate three-four-six-six-seven." The droid said and Mayfeld groans. "What? What?" Mayfeld asked, annoyed, as he turns to the droid, raising the goggles to his forehead. "Inmate three-four-six-six-seven, descend and receive new instructions." The droid said and Mayfeld puts down his drill, climbs down and walks towards the droid.

"Can't you see I'm busy?" He asked as he gestures at the scrap pile behind him. "Inmate three-four-six-six-seven, please salute Marshal Dune." The droid said and Mayfeld looks over and sees Cara walking up to him.

"I remand prisoner number three-four-six-six-seven to my custody." Cara said to the droid. "Affirmative." The droid said to her before turning to Mayfeld.

"Inmate three-four-six-six-seven, please follow Marshal Dune to transport." He said and Cara turns and walks off.

"Somebody gonna tell me what's going on?" Mayfeld asked the droid. "Let's go! I've got a job for you." Cara said as she continues to walk. Then the ankle restraint on Mayfeld's leg comes off and he looks down at it, shocked. "Inmate three-four-six-six-seven, please follow Marshal Dune." The droid ordered but Mayfeld doesn't move.

"Wait, where is she takin' me?" He asked. "Inmate three-four-six-six-seven, you have three seconds to comply with your new directive." The droid threatens as he holds up his baton, which starts to electrify. "Okay! All right, all right." Mayfeld said, jumping back, then he goes to follow Cara.

"Hey! You gonna tell me where you're takin' me?" Mayfeld asked Cara as he catches up with her but she doesn't answer. "Hello? I mean, it's a common courtesy, a common courtesy to tell somebody where it is that you're takin' 'em. I don't think that's so hard to ask, do you?" Mayfeld said as they come up to the Slave I and Fennec and Fett, now with his armor buffed out and cleaned, walk out of the ship.

Mayfeld stopped for a second once he saw the two then let out a sigh of relief. "Oh. You know, for a second, I thought you two were this other couple." He said with a smile of relief just as Din and (y/n) walk out of the ship.

He looks up and his smile fades once he sees them. "Mayfeld." Din greets once he and (y/n) walk up to him. "Hey, Mando. Long time." Mayfeld said as he smiles, nervously. "What, you and your friend came here to kill me?" Mayfeld asked him.

"All you need to know is I bent a lot of rules to bring you along." Cara said. "Why am I so lucky?" Mayfeld asked her. "Because you're Imperial." She replied. "Hey, that was a long time ago, all right?" Mayfeld said. "But you still know your Imperial clearances and protocols, don't you?" (Y/n) asked him. Mayfeld looks at them, shocked, just as the group turns and heads into the ship, he soon follows suit.

"We need coordinates for Moff Gideon's cruiser." Din informs Mayfeld once they get seated inside the ship. "Moff Gideon?" Mayfeld asked before he scoffs. "Yeah, forget it. Just take me back to the scrapyard. I'm not doin' that." Mayfeld said and Cara rolls her eyes. "They have their kid." Cara said as she nods towards Din and (y/n).

"The little green guy?" Mayfeld asked, taken aback. "Yeah. The little green guy." Cara confirms. "So...I help you guys get him back, you guys let me go?" Mayfeld asked as he looks between Din, (y/n) and Cara. "That's not how this works." Cara said.

"Well, then what's in it for me?" Mayfeld asked. "You get a better view." Cara said and Mayfeld sighs as he thinks for a moment. "All right, but here's the thing. I can't get those coordinates unless I have access to an internal Imperial terminal. I believe there's one on Morak." He said.

"Morak? There's nothing on Morak." Din said. "It's a secret Imperial mining hub, okay? If you can get me there, I can get you the coordinates." Mayfeld said and everyone shares a look before Din reaches over to the console and presses a button. "Fett, punch in the coordinates to Morak." He said. "Copy that." Fett said as he does just that and the ship takes off.

"I did an initial scan of the planet. This is what you're talking about, right?" Fett asked as he shows a hologram map of Morak to everyone. Then he zooms in on what looked like a large dam. "Yeah, that's the refinery right there." Mayfeld said as he nods. "Wonder what they're refining in there." Fennec mutters. "Looks like rhydonium. Highly volatile and explosive." Fett said.

"Yeah, kinds like this one, huh." Mayfeld chuckles and Fett turns to him with a stern look, making the smile disappear off of Mayfeld's face. "They have anti-aircraft cannons protecting it." Fett said once he turns back to the map. "And a platoon of security forces." Fennec adds.

"So we go in quiet. Let's go get a closer look." Din said and Fett nods and he steers the ship into Morak.

"I'm not gonna need long inside, so once I get the coordinates, you guys gotta get me the hell out of there." Mayfeld said. They had landed on a nearby spot and watched a large tank-like vehicle had drove by in the dirt road below them.

"You get to the roof. I'll drop in and pull you out." Fett said. All right. Mayfeld and I will swap out for the drivers in the tunnel." Cara said. "As much as I'd like to take a road trip with Rebel-dropper here, that's not gonna work." Mayfeld said. "Oh yeah? Why's that?" Cara asked him.

"Well, because these Remnant bases are set up and run by ex-ISB. If you get scanned and your genetic signature shows up on any New Republic register, you're gonna be detected, and it's guns out." Mayfeld informs. "You sure do know a lot about Imperial Remnants." Cara said, suspiciously.

"Hey, if you wanna accuse me of something, then just say it." Mayfeld snapped at her. "We don't have time. Fennec will go." Din said. "No, I'm wanted by the ISB. I'll trip the alarm, too." Fennec said and Mayfeld raises his hands up in exasperation. "Fett?" (Y/n) asked as she turns to Fett. "Let's just say they might recognize my face." Fett said.

"Great, so it's me goin' in alone." Mayfeld grumbles. "No way. The minute he gets inside, he'll tip 'em off. He'll be a hero." Cara said. "Hey. This wasn't my idea. I'm doin' you guys a favor." Mayfeld argues. "Deal's off. I'm takin' him back." Cara said.

"Then I'll go." (Y/n) said.

"I'll come too." Din said and (y/n) turns her head to him.

"Hey, buddy, I'm might be good at fast-talking, but I don't think I can explain away a guy in a Mando suit to Imperial guards. So, unless you're gonna take off that helmet, or let your friend go alone with me, it's gonna be me goin' in alone. Or say goodbye to your little green friend." Mayfeld said. "You're not going alone. I'm coming with you. But I won't be showing my face." Din said.

Another large tank vehicle starts to make its way through a tunnel when Cara, Din, Mayfeld and (y/n) jumped on top of the vehicle. They get to the entrance hole and Cara drops in it and takes out the three guards that were inside and slows the vehicle down to a stop.

"Oh my God, this guy reeked. His gloves are still wet." Mayfeld groans as he puts on one of the guards armor while Cara kept as lookout. Then (y/n) comes up from around the vehicle, now in the new armor, and started to put the helmet on her head, holding a duffle bag, just as Din comes around the corner wearing the Stormtrooper armor as well, also carrying a duffle bag.

"Look at this. Oh, the shame." Mayfeld laughs as he looks at Din. "Now, that right there is worth the price of admission." Mayfeld said. "Wish I could say it looked good on you, but I'd be lying." Cara jokes. "Just make sure you take out the rooftop gunners, or we're never getting out of here." Din said. "I got you." Cara said then Din and (y/n) set the bags down. 

"Take care of these. Keep 'em safe." (Y/n) said. "I will." Cara said. "Hey, guys. Still on the clock." Mayfeld said and Din and (y/n) make their way towards the entrance of the vehicle. "What would they say on Mandalore?" Mayfeld teased Din before he looks over at (y/n). "First time I've seen you wear a helmet. Gotta say, you're prettier without the helmet." Mayfeld said but (y/n) ignores him while Din clenched his fist for a moment.

"It's a shame you're not comin' along with us. You got such a sunny disposition. Can't imagine how much fun you are in one of these." Mayfeld said to Cara as he gets inside the tank and puts on his own helmet.

Din gets inside of the tank then helps (y/n) in as Mayfeld looks around the console. "What's goin' on here? Power coil, motivator...Oh, there we..." Mayfeld mutters and he pushes some buttons and the engine starts to come on. "Ah, there we go. There we go!" Mayfeld exclaims as Din gets into the seat next to him and (y/n) takes the seat that was against the wall.

"And we are off." Mayfeld said as he pushes a lever up and the tank starts to take off. Then Mayfeld looks over at Din. "So how's it feel? Huh?" Mayfeld asked him but Din doesn't respond. "I mean, c'mon, man, you still get to wear a helmet, right?" He asked but Din still doesn't respond while (y/n) looks between them.

"All right, you know what? I'm takin' this thing off. I can't see anything." Mayfeld said as he takes off his helmet then he looks over at (y/n). "Why don't you go ahead and take yours off, sweetheart." He said. "If I'm as pretty as you say I am, then I better not. Don't want you distracted to the point where we crash and burn and die." (Y/n) snaps and Din holds back a chuckle from this as Mayfeld laughs. 

"Oh, haha, very funny, princess." Mayfeld said. "I don't know how you people wear those things. And by you people, I do mean Mandalorians." Mayfeld said but Din shakes his head slightly and they sit in silence for a few moments.

"Feel better when it's off." Mayfeld said as he gestures to the helmet but Din turns his head, slowly, towards him as if to say shut up before he looks ahead of him.

"Juggernaut Four, you're running hot. Be sure to watch your cargo heat limits and speed." A man's voice said through the comms. "Copy that, Three. We hit a couple of bumps. Thanks for the heads-up." Another male voice said just as they started to pass some other tanks that looked like they blew up.

Mayfeld then looks at the console where the heat limits were and could see that it was at the low green. "Don't worry about the rhydonium. As long as you drive steady, you'll get us to the refinery." Din assures Mayfeld just as they come up on a small village with some kids playing on the road.

Mayfeld reaches up and blares the horn and the people started to clear off the road. "Yeah. Empire, New Republic." Mayfeld said as they pass by the people, who were all glaring at them. "It's all the same to these people. Invaders on their land is all we are. I'm just sayin', somewhere someone in this galaxy is ruling and others are being ruled." said Mayfeld as they pass the village.

"I mean, look at your race. Do you think all those people that died in wars fought by Mandalorians actually had a choice? So how ate they any different than the Empire?" Mayfeld asked but the two hunters don't respond, which made him scoff.

"If you were born on Mandalore, you believe one thing, if you're born on Alderaan, you believe somethin' else. But guess what? Neither one of 'em exist anymore." Mayfeld said as he looks between the two then shrugs. "Hey, I'm just a realist. I'm a survivor, just like you two." He said.

"Let's get one thing straight. We are nothing alike." Din said, firmly. "I don't know. Seems to me like your rules start to change when you get desperate. I mean, look at ya. You said you couldn't take your helmet off, and now you got a Stormtrooper one on, so what's the rule? Is it that you can't take off your Mando helmet, or you can't show your face? 'Cause there is a difference." Mayfeld points out and (y/n) looks between the two and started to think over what he said.

"Look, I'm just sayin', we're all the same. Everybody's got their lines they don't cross until things get messy. As far as I'm concerned, if you can make it through your day and still sleep at night, you're doin' better than most." Mayfeld said.

"Control, this is Juggernaut Three. We're comin' up on some route interference." A voice said in the comms when they heard a beeping sound. "Control, control! We need a new...." the voice started to say, panicked, but then he screams and the comms link ends.

"What was that?" Mayfeld asked, worried. "Please stand by for reroute." A woman's voice said then seconds later an explosion happens some miles ahead of them. "Juggernaut Four has been destroyed." The woman's voice said as (y/n) stands up and walks up to the middle of the men. "Destroyed?" Mayfeld said, panicked. "The rhydonium is still stable." (Y/n) said.

"Juggernaut Five, maintain speed and course. Proceed with caution. Re-routing course, stand by." The woman said. "Proceed with caution? Is she serious?" Mayfeld asked, panicking again.

"Control, this is Juggernaut Three. Requesting...." another man's voice started to say but then it sounded like someone was chanting something, loudly, behind the guy. "Abort! Abort!" The man's voice before he screams and a second explosion happens ahead of them.

Mayfeld speeds up a bit and steers away to avoid the burning remains of one of the Juggernauts when a small ship comes up next to them with some Alien pirates. One of the pirates jumps on the side, which made Din, Mayfeld and (y/n) look over.

"What the hell was that?" Mayfeld asked and Din looks at the console to see a camera had come on and he could see the Pirates. "Pirates. Keep driving. (Y/n) and I will take care of it." Din said and he stands up and opens the window and fires at the one that was on the side.

Then a second pirate goes to jump on but Din fires and hits him straight into his chest. "Are you seriously shooting a blaster near rhydonium?" Mayfeld exclaims as (y/n) starts to climb the latter to the hatch on top.

"They've got thermal detonators." Din said. "Terrific." Mayfeld said, sarcastically. "Just keep it steady." (Y/n) said as she opens the hatch and sees the pirate on the roof. "Get these guys off of us! Get 'em off!" Mayfeld shouts as the pirate opens a hatch to the rhydonium and pulls out a detonator.

But before he could place it on, (y/n) shoots him and he falls off and the detonator goes off under one of the other pirate's ship, killing them. Mayfeld goes as fast as he can but had to slow down as the limits were starting to get high.

"They're trying to blow the rhydonium." (Y/n) informs. "You think? You should've left me in prison!" Mayfeld shouts and (y/n) started to leave and close the hatch but then she noticed more pirates were coming.

She sighs and gets up on the roof. "Need some help, Mando." She said and he climbs up just as some of the pirates jumped on the tank. The two hunters fire their blasters and kills a few until their blasters ran out of ammo.

The remaining pirates charged at them and the two throw their guns at a couple of them, hitting them in the face. Din fights with one while (y/n) fights another until they kick both of them off, one of them rolls off to the front and gets run over.

Another pirate comes up and grabs (y/n) while another whacks his large spear at Din's arm, meanwhile another pirate was trying to open the hatch to the rhydonium. (Y/n) kicked then used the back of her head at the pirate's face and tosses him to the side as Din punches his attacking pirate and tossed him aside as well.

The last pirate was trying to open the hatch but Din grabs the spear and chucks it at the pirate, impaling him and knocking him off. Another ship full of pirates began yelling at the two just as Din turns to the front. "Mayfeld! Pick it up. Drive faster!" He yells and Mayfeld picks up the speed which almost there made the two hunters stumble but they each grab the others hand for balance

Then the alarm about the rhydonium started blaring after speeding for a couple of minutes. "I don't think faster's a good idea!" Mayfeld shouts and he slows down, which made them stumble again. "What are you doing?" (Y/n) shouts as the pirates catch up and a few get on the roof.

(Y/n) punches one in the stomach and Din kicks another and grabs the pirate's staff and used the end of it to hit the pirate in the face. (Y/n) punches and kicks the pirate that attacked her and throws him off just as Din does the same with the other pirate.

Then three more jump on and one starts charging at them with their spear but Din holds out his right arm to (y/n) and she locks her left arm around his and Din brings her around as she raises her feet up and kicks the pirate right in the face, making fall back and drop his spear.

She lands on her feet and they unlocked their arms from each other as more pirates jump on. (Y/n) grabs the spear that one of the pirates dropped and used it on one of the oncoming pirates while another goes after Din.

Din knocks off the pirate but he hangs onto the side while another charges at him and knocks him down. (Y/n) swings the spear around at another pirate then gets down on her knees and swipes the pirates feet which made him fall on his side and (y/n) kicks him off.

She turns around and saw that Din was pinned down by two pirates, one hanging off the side holding down Din's arm and the other on top of Din and choking him. She runs at the pirate on top of Din and swings the spear like a bat and hits the pirate across the face as Din gets up and kicks the one hanging off the side off of it completely.

(Y/n) punches the pirate a few times then holds her hand out to do something when the pirate was blown back and rolled off on the front and was run over. Surprised, (y/n) looks down at her hand, wondering if she used this Force power that Ashoka told her about until she heard a beeping sound.

Her and Din turn to see a pirate had opened the hatch and placed a detonator on the rhydonium then jumped back on his ship. "Dank farrik!" (Y/n) growls as Din runs towards the hatch, grabs the detonator and throws it and it explodes, killing the remaining pirate ships.

The blast from the explosion blew Din and (y/n) back a couple of feet until (y/n) fell on her back then grunts in pain a second later when Din landed on his back on top of her. "Sorry." He said. "It's okay." She groans as they get close the refinery. 

"Uh, Mando, I gotta stop. I can't cross at this speed." Mayfeld shouts as (y/n) and Din sit up. But through the smoke about four more pirate ships emerge out and all of them had detonators. "Seriously?" (Y/n) mutters, exasperated, as Din sighs. The ships get closer as Din gets up, holds his hand out to (y/n) and helps her on her feet.

The two get into a stance when some tie-fighters come in and shoot all of the ship and the Juggernaut makes it over the bridge. Then some Stormtroopers come up and shoot the stragglers as Din and (y/n) make it back inside the tank.

"Never thought you'd be happy to see Stormtroopers." Mayfeld said. "You can say that again." (Y/n) mutters as she takes off her helmet, takes a breath and wipes the sweat off of her brow.

The troopers and other workers cheer as they make it inside and stop the vehicle. Mayfeld stops the engine and he and the two hunters get out as they are greeted with cheer from the troopers. "Okay. All we gotta do is find a terminal." Mayfeld said and the trio walk among the cheering crowd and towards this large doorway.

"It's probably in the officers' mess." He whispers and they make it over to the mess hall and Mayfeld glances inside and sees in the far left corner there was a terminal. "There it is." He whispers to the others. "Good luck." Din said and Mayfeld goes towards the entrance of the mess hall, stops once he sees someone then turns back around.

"I can't go in there." He said. "Why not?" (Y/n) asked, confused. "That's Valin Hess." Mayfeld said as he gestures to the man that was sitting in one of the tables to the right. "Who?" Din and (y/n) asked. "It's Valin Hess. I used to serve under him." Mayfeld replied. 

"Will he recognize you?" Din asked him. "I don't know. I was just a field operative, but I'm not takin' the chance. It's over." Mayfeld said as he starts to walk off but Din stops him. "Let's just do this quick and we can get out of here." He said. "I can't do it, okay? We have to abort. I'm sorry." Mayfeld said and he starts to walk off again but Din stops him again.

"No. We can't. If we don't get those coordinates, we'll lose the kid forever." Din said and Mayfeld shakes his head. "Give me the data stick." Din said. "It's not gonna work. In order to access the network, the terminal has to scan your face." Mayfeld said and (y/n) sighs and was about to speak up until Din said. "Give it to me." And he takes the data stick and walks off. "What? Di...Mando, No!" (Y/n) whisper shouts at him but he ignores her as he walks on.

Din walks in the mess hall then heads over to the terminal as Mayfeld and (y/n) stay to the side of the doorway. He places the data stick in and it comes on and begins to scan Din but then it blinks red. "Error, error. Facial scan incomplete." The robotic female voice said and Din, quickly, looks over at Hess then back at the terminal.

"Ten seconds to system shutdown. Ten, nine, eight, seven..." the voice said and Din takes off his helmet, which made (y/n) gasp and her eyes widen. From the angle she was at, all she could see was the back of his head with his slightly curly dark hair. "He did it..." she whispered as Din takes the stick out then presses some buttons and the scanner comes back on and scans his face.

"Facial scan complete." The robotic voice said and Din puts the data stick back in and presses some more buttons. "Trooper!" Hess calls out but Din ignores him as he continues to get the information of Moff's cruiser.

Hess then gets up and starts to walk towards Din. "Mayfeld." (Y/n) whispers to Mayfeld, with worry. Mayfeld looks over to see Hess going to Din then he sighs at this.

"Hey, trooper!" Hess shouts and Din closes his eyes, exasperated, for a moment as the terminal dings. Then he grabs the stick and turns to Hess, which let (y/n) see his face, completely. Her heart leapt at the sight of seeing his face, she knew she shouldn't look at him but she couldn't help to look at how handsome he had become.

"You really haven't seen his face before, have you?" Mayfeld asked. "Not since we were kids." She replied.

"Pay attention when a superior addresses you." Hess said to Din. "What's your designation?" He asked Din. "Transport crew." Din replied in a soft gruff voice. "What?" Hess asked as if he didn't understand what he said. "My designation is transport copilot." Din replied, a bit louder.

"No, son. What's your TK number?" Hess asked and (y/n) and Mayfeld share a worried look. "My TK number is..." Din said, not sure what to say as Hess watches him then Mayfeld walks in the mess hall, (y/n) following close behind him.

"This is my Commanding Officer TK-593, sir. I'm Imperial Combat Assault Transport Lieutenant TK-111, sir. And this is his is Executive Officer TK-221, sir." Mayfeld said as he and (y/n) comes up next to Din, (y/n) standing right next to Din and Mayfeld stands next to her.

"I'm afraid you'll have to either speak up to him a little bit or talk to her to have her translate since his vessel lost pressure in Taanab." Mayfeld said as Din looks over at them. (Y/n), nervously, glances at him but darted her eyes away from him.

Hess looks back over at Din then asked, loudly. "What's your name, Officer?" Din looks at him and raises an eyebrow at him then Hess looks at (y/n) as if she held the answers. "We just call him Brown Eyes, sir." (Y/n) said then she turns to Din, looking into his eyes. "Isn't that right, Officer?" She asked, loudly, as she tried her best to not sound, nervous, and Din looks at her then nods.

"Let's go fill out this TPS reports, so we can go recharge the power coils." Mayfeld said, loudly, and (y/n) grabs Din's arm and they start to walk away but then Hess speaks up. "You're not dismissed."

The trio stop and (y/n) tightens her grip on Din's arm before they turn around to Hess. "You the tank troopers that delivered the shipment of rhydonium?" Hess asked. "Yes, sir." Mayfeld and (y/n) said. "Yes, sir." Din said at a bit of a delay and Hess walks back in front of the trio and looks them over.

"Well, you three managed to be the only transport today to deliver their shipment." Hes said and the trio started to feel a bit nervous then Hess places one hand on Mayfeld's shoulder and his other hand on Din's shoulder. "Come with me, hmmm? Let's get a drink..." Hess said then he turns to Din. "Brown Eyes." He chuckles and he walks over to the table.

Mayfeld looks at Din then follows Hess. Din looks over at (y/n), who sensed him staring at her and looks up at him. They share a look and the corner of (y/n)'s lips twitched up a bit before her and Din go over to the table.

"So what shall we toast to, boys and girl?" Hess asked as he pulls out some cups and a bottle of a drink. "I can blather on about To health or To success, but I'd like to do somethin' a little less rote." Hess said as he pours the trio a drink then he turns to Din. 

"Where you from, Brown Eyes?" Hess asked him but before Din could reply, Mayfeld speaks up. "How 'bout a toast to Operation Cinder?" He asked and Hess smiles. "Now there's a man who knows his history." Hess said. 

"No, I don't just know it. I lived it. I was in Burnin Konn." Mayfeld said as Din and (y/n) look over at him. "Burnin Konn? That was a hard day. I had to make many unpleasant decisions." Hess said. "Yes, you did. Entire city gone in moments, along with everybody in it. We lost our whole division that day. Man, that was like 5-10,000 people." Mayfeld said.

"Yep." Hess mutters. "All heroes of the Empire."

"Yeah. And all dead." Mayfeld sneered.

"Well, it's a small sacrifice for the greater good, son." Hess said as (y/n) and Din both shake their heads at Mayfeld to not do anything stupid. 

"Depends on who you ask, don't you think?" Mayfeld asked. "What you gettin' at, trooper?" Hess asked, smiling. "All those people, the ones who died, was it good for them? Hmm? Their families? The guys I served with? Civilians, those poor mud scuffers, died defendin' their homes, fighting for freedom. Was it good for 'em?" Mayfeld asked Hess and Din and (y/n) turn their heads to Hess.

"But we've outlasted them, son. They're eatin' themselves alive. The New Republic is in complete disarray, and we grow stronger. You see, with the rhydonium you've delivered, we can create havoc that's gonna make Burnin Konn just pale by comparison. And then they're gonna turn to us once again." Hess said and Mayfeld looks down, bites his lips then nods with understanding.

Hess then leans forward and clasps his hands together as he looks at Mayfeld. "You see, everybody thinks they want freedom, but what they really want is order. And when they realize that, they're gonna welcome us back with open arms." Hess said, smiling, then he grabs his cup and raises it.

"To the Empire." Hess said. Mayfeld chuckles softly, then pulls out his blaster and shoots Hess straight in the chest. Din and (y/n) were taken aback by this then looked over at Mayfeld, shocked.

They look around as other troopers saw this as well. Before anyone could do anything, Mayfeld shoots the ones in the hall while Din goes over to Hess, takes his blaster and shoots at one Mayfeld missed while (y/n) ducks.

Then the hunters look over Mayfeld, who reached over and grabs Din's helmet. "You did what you had to do." He said and hands the helmet to Din. "I never saw your face." He said and he turns his head away as Din looks down at the helmet then over at (y/n).

She stares into his brown eyes for one more moment then runs her eyes over his face before she smirks and winks at him. At that moment, she walks off to one of the dead troopers and grabs a blaster from them while Din takes the helmet and puts it on.

"Security to main commons." A voice over the speaker said as more troopers come in. The trio began to fire at them then Mayfeld turns to the windows. "This way!" He shouts and they jump on the edge. "Ready? Go!" Din tells them and the trio kick one of the blinds back and kept firing at the oncoming threat.

They duck under some blinds then make it over on the side. Some troopers started to come out but Fennec and Cara shot at the ones the trio couldn't get to as the trio get to the top. "C'mom, let's move, boys." (Y/n) said as they climbed up on a ladder. "What the hell you think I'm doin'?" Mayfeld gripes as they get to the roof and see the Slave I coming.

They run across the roof and shoot at the oncoming troopers as the ship flies over them then stops on the other side of the roof and opens the hangar to them. They jump on the ship and it starts to take off.

"Hand me that cycler rifle." Mayfeld said and (y/n) hands it to him. Mayfeld steady his aims on one of the Juggernauts then fires at it, causing an explosion. Then he turns to the two. "We all need to sleep at night." He said to then and he walks off while Din and (y/n) share a look before they go in deeper of the ship and the hangar door shuts.

Fett's radar beeps and he looks down to see that some tie-fighters were following him. "We got company. Hang on." Fett tells the trio as they get into their seats. He steers a hard left then he flips a switch and drops a bomb on them and he takes off.

Later, Fennec and Cara come up to the Slave I after it landed and see Mayfeld walking out with Din and (y/n), who were back to wearing their normal armor. "Well, looks like it's back to the scrap heap." Mayfeld grumbles as Fennec goes into the ship.

"Thank you for helping." Din said, appreciatively. "Yeah." Mayfeld mutters. "Uh, good luck gettin' your kid back." He said to the hunters then he turns to Cara. "All right, Officer, take me back." he said as he holds his arms out. "That was some nice shootin' back there." She compliments. "Oh, you saw that? Yeah, that, uh, that wasn't part of the plan. I was just gettin' some stuff off my chest." He said and Cara shakes her head then turns to Din and (y/n).

"You know, it's too bad Mayfeld didn't make it not alive back there." She said. "Yeah, too bad." Din said as (y/n) nods. "What are you talkin' about?" Mayfeld asked, confused. "Looked to me like prisoner number three-four-six-six-seven died in the refinery explosion on Morak." Cara said and Mayfeld looks between them.

"Does that mean I can go? Huh? Cause I will." Mayfeld said and (y/n) gestures for him to go. "All right." He said as he starts to walk away. "You get the coordinates on Moff Gideon?" Cara asked Din and (y/n). "We did." Din replied. "What's our next move?" She asked and Din and (y/n) share a look.

"Sir, you should see this." An Imperial officer said to Moff once she arrived on the deck. She turns to the table and switches on a full body hologram of Din and (y/n). "Moff Gideon. You have something we want. You may think you have some idea what you are in possession of, but you do not. Soon, he will be back with us. He means more to us than you will ever know." Din threatens as (y/n) stood next to him, her arms folded across her chest.

Moff Gideon glares at the two until the hologram message ends and looks down as he decides on his next plan.

Back at the Slave I, (y/n) was sitting in a seat by herself, looking down at her hands, when Din walks in then turns to Fennec and Cara, who were standing nearby. "Can you give us a moment?" He asked them. They nod and leave the two hunters alone as Din walks up to her.

She raises her head at him and frowns slightly. "I know what you're gonna say." She said and Din tilts his head at her. "You're gonna go on about how you broke the Creed and Mayfeld and I shouldn't have seen your face. Get all grumpy about it but...you did what you had to do." (Y/n) said and Din looks at her.

"Plus you didn't give me enough time to speak up and say I'd go." She said. "I'm not mad about that." Din replied and (y/n) furrows her brow, confused. "I'm just...upset that I didn't get to show you my face on my own term." He replied and her eyes widen at this. "Your own term? Y-You mean...?" She started to ask and Din nods.

"I was wanting to show you after we were done with all of this." He said. "Why?" (Y/n) asked, confused. "Because I care about you." Din said and he takes her hands and then placed them on his helmet and guides her fingers underneath the helmet.

"You sure you're okay with this?" (Y/n) asked him. There was a pause before Din says. "I trust you." 

(Y/n) let's out a breath that was a mixture of a chuckle and a sob before she curls her fingers around the edges of the helmet. It let's out a hiss and she lifts it up as he sets his arms down his sides.

She slowly lifts it up, first seeing his chin then his lips, where a mustache was adorn above his top lip. Then his nose and his eyes which were staring right at (y/n). Once the helmet was off completely, the bangs of his curly dark hair flopped on his forehead, (y/n) sets the helmet aside then looks back at him.

They stare at each other for a few moments before (y/n) speaks up. "Hi." She said, softly. "Hey." He greets back and she smiles then she raises her right hand and places it on his cheek. He closes his eyes at this then raised a hand, placed it over hers then turns his head and kissed the palm of her hand.

He turns his head and opens his brown eyes to her, which made her giggle. "What?" He asked. "Nothing, Commander Brown Eyes." She teased, making him sigh and roll his eyes. (Y/n) removes her hand off of his cheek then placed it on his chest as he cups her face in his hands. He stares at her for a moment before he leans in and kisses her and she kissed him back.

Her hands moved up to his neck then her fingers snaked up into his dark hair as he removes his hands off of her face. He then wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her closer to him, their lips continued to move in sync with each other. They break the kiss for a second as they tilt their heads in the opposite direction and continue on with the kiss, acting like they were making up for lost times.

After a few moments, they stop to catch their breathes and lean their foreheads against each other. "Din..." she whispered, softly, and he smiles at this. He pulls his head back a bit and looks her over again. "Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum." He said and she smiles at this. "Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum." She said and he gives a smile to her.

She turns and grabs his helmet then turns to him. "I really mean it, Din. With or without the helmet." She said as she holds up his helmet to him. He looks at the helmet then at her before he leans in and gives her a slow, passionate kiss.

After they share the kiss one more time, (y/n) lifts up the helmet and starts to put it back on his head. Once the helmet was back on, (y/n) smiles again at him before she speaks up.

"Now, let's go get our kid back."

(A/n: Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum means I love you.)
