After  leaving  Kylo’s  presence,  Wanda  immediately  ᴰᴿᴱᴬᴹᵂᴬᴸᴷˢ  into  this  universe’s  Wanda's  body.  The  variant  lives  a  quiet  life,  in  a  farm  close  to  the  Avengers  Compound,  with  her  kids  Billy  and  Tommy.  Wanda  feels  comfortable  leaving  them  both  behind  to  stay  with  their  uncle  Pietro  while  she  goes  meet  Ren.

Wanda  sets  out  in  a  rush  of  red  energy  and  flies  off  to  the  Compound.  Upon  arrival,  she  sneakily  hides  behind  one  of  the  trucks  in  the  parking  lot,  scouting  who  could  see  her  grab  the  Guardians'  jet,  which  she  could  see  had  the  door  open.  Bruce  was  sitting  outside  with  Natasha,  but  they  were  talking  to  each  other  and  weren’t  paying  much  attention  to  their  surroundings.  Other  than  that,  the  outside  of  the  building  was  deserted.

Natasha  kisses  Bruce.  That's  the  moment  Wanda  strikes.  She  flies  from  where  she’s  standing,  directly  inside  the  jet,  directing  her  energy  field  on  closing  the  door  behind  her,  making  sure  nobody  could  enter.  She  quickly  inserts  the  data  Kylo  has  given  her  into  the  jets  control  panel  and  the  motors  start  thrusting.  By  the  moment  the  couple  has  time  to  react,  the  jet  is  flying  up  the  night.

After  leaving  Earth,  the  sky  opens  a  hex  shaped  wormhole  that  takes  Wanda  flying  light-years,  galaxy  after  galaxy  until  she  reaches  her  destination,  but  was  THIS  where  they  were  supposed  to  meet?

The  planet  she’s  arrived  to  seemed  dead,  devastated.  That  must  not  be  the  right  place.  Maybe  she  got  her  spells  wrong,  but  she  never  did.  She  parks  the  jet  down,  opening  the  door  and  leaving  outside  to  the  hellscape.

She  spots  a  silhouette  in  the  distance,  putting  her  hand  atop  her  eyes  to  see  better  under  the  sun.  It  was  Kylo.  He  did  give  her  the  right  coordinates,  maybe  he  is  trustworthy,  she  thought.  She  pulls  herself  up  using  her  chaos  magic  and  flows  over  to  meet  Ren,  who  is  now  way  taller  than  her.

“Well,  it’s  good  to  see  you  in  person.  And  you  see,  what  I  did,  it’s  just  a  little  of  what  I  can  do.”

⸻ ⛧ 𝘚𝘏𝘌 𝘈𝘙𝘙𝘐𝘝𝘌𝘚 𝘊𝘖𝘊𝘒𝘠 & 𝘍𝘜𝘓𝘓 𝘖𝘍 pride. It is, technically, the makings of an apprentice of the Dark Side. Yet, she cannot forget her place. This much he is to be sure of. Seeing her in person, he can he better assess the Force within her... whether it was strong or true. He cannot deny that it was not there, but that does not mean she was worthy despite the long way in which she had come.

❝ Space travel is not something to boast about here. ❞ Ren was more than well versed in piloting. ( in addition to all the pilots and mechanics throughout the galaxy ) He tested the finest vessels in the First Order & created his own schematics for his own TIEs, most of which never made it out of the prototype phase due to his constant tweaking. Though, of course, traveling between galaxies could be warranted some praise, but Wanda had not yet earned it.

Raising a gloved hand in gesture towards the ruins of what use to be a large fortress that once served as a lava dam, ❝ This was once the fortress of my predecessor. One so strong in the Force he had been believed to be the Chosen One, destined to bring balance in one way or another. His empire fell thirty standard years ago. Yet it seems this planet has been healing since then. Still, the dark side is strong here. Do you feel it? ❞

Ren has never been one for pleasantries. He was ready to cut to the chase & to begin. After all, this was not necessarily priority. But the teachings of the Dark Side were meanet to live on. Reserved only for those worthy of it.

⸻ ⛧ 𝘏𝘌 𝘞𝘈𝘚 𝘉𝘌𝘐𝘕𝘎 𝘙𝘐𝘋𝘐𝘊𝘜𝘓𝘖𝘜𝘚. 𝘕𝘖𝘛 Ben, but Anakin. Rolling his eyes, it isn't a matter of patience but of a blatant lack of realism. Though he knows that respecting his elders was important, Ben was simply tired of people telling him what to do. ❝ I was brought here so that the New Republic does not have to utilize capital punishment in making me justifiably pay for my crimes. ❞ Of course he was grateful to keep his life, but that doesn't mean this became the most ideal situation. Especially when his grandfather was insisting Ben be thoroughly demoted to a padawan.

❝ There is nothing I can do to right my wrongs. My crimes are unforgivable. But I am not denying you my aide. I am here, am I not? ❞ Therefore he will help. Maybe he shouldn't be so specific about the logistics. But who really needed logistics out here in the middle of nowhere? Ben was buried. That much was true. Better buried than dead. ❝ I will help. But I am no padawan. ❞

"Darkness."

He whispered, recalling their previous visit years ago during his training. They needed to return; this was where Yoda had instructed Luke, the world where he had uncovered secrets he had not shared with others, where he had surpassed all Jedi of the past. Here, he understood that his young apprentice would learn and comprehend more, for time and again, he had taught him that the Sith and the Jedi were relics, both self-destructive through their endless wars and conflicts. What they represented was something different, an evolution of sorts, the next step forward.

"You worry about being supplanted by another. That's wise; rivals must be eliminated and crushed before they pose a danger. You are evolving, unlike your grandfather before you. Despite his strength, he became a mere shadow of his former self, all that potential, all that hope, what he could have achieved, stripped away from him, as his master longed to replace him with someone younger and more promising."

As he traversed the swamps, he paid little mind to the surroundings, to the nature of this world, dark, cold, damp, and teeming with creatures that wisely chose not to challenge them as he focused ahead for the moment.

"Darkness rises, and light comes to meet it, but the force is ours alone now; there are no others out there, calling upon it. Luke has severed his connection to hide from us; the entire First Order cannot locate him." He spoke icily, frustrated that all their efforts had failed to find a single man in hiding, a threat to the First Order; only a fool would think he was dead, he would have sensed it.

"When you eliminate the next source of darkness, the light will either confront us, or the darkness will spread and engulf this world. Either outcome serves our purpose, for I wish to harness your link to your former master; we will uncover where he is concealed, through the power of the force on this world, he has strong connections here, we will learn of his whereabouts."

⸻ ⛧ 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘍𝘖𝘙𝘊𝘌 𝘐𝘚 𝘛𝘏𝘌𝘐𝘙𝘚 𝘈𝘓𝘖𝘕𝘌. A thrilling statement. An empowering reality. There was no one. It would seem that, in the end, the Dark has won. ( this should feel more triumphant than it did ) Perhaps there was still Light out there, so therefore it was imperative that it be snuffed out. Then these statements would ring out across the galaxy. This was greater than the mission of the First Order. Bigger than a senate or religion. It would simply be ABSOLUTE.

❝ We won't need a map to find him. He will come to us. ❞ Though he could have posed this as a question, Kylo understood that this was the goal in returning to Dagobah. Why search for something almost impossible to find? Draw it out. If the actions of the First Order & the fussing of the Resistance had not reaped the sympathies of Luke, then it was time for a new strategy. Snoke's wisdom has struck again.

Dagobah seemed to be just as unbearable on this side of the planet than the other. The landscape of the planet was consistent all around which made the concept to be quite unpleasant. Ren is silently thankful that Luke never chose this planet to form his Order on otherwise Kylo would have turned far sooner out of the misery of such stench & humidity. They weaved through vines & trees, passing the rims of swampy ponds & possible caverns of grotesque creatures.

But another question comes to him. One he cannot help but wonder, despite being the Jedi Killer & cause for the ultimate destruction of the last Order. ❝ After Luke, what if there is another? One we are not aware of. Is it possible? The galaxy is expansive. Would this draw them out too or should we expect to be confronted at another time? ❞ Not that he wouldn't always be ready. That was part of his training. To always be ready & prepared, even if he was no match for anyone. ( except maybe Luke, but that would be a problem soon dealt with )
