"Bite my tongue, drink the blood,

Bide my time, wait out the sun,

Collect your secrets one by one,

And load them in my hidden gun.


In the dead of night.

Count your sins by candlelight,

I go,

(Oh, oh, oh, one by one).


Came for what is mine,

Brought the reaper back to life,

Oh no,

(Oh, oh, oh, reaper's home).


Beat my fist over my chest,

Lick the blood from off your neck,

Set my sights on your weakness,

You ready for what happens next?


I drag my claws across your chest,

Do to you the things you did.

No mercy, you're in my grip,

Say hello to the reaper, kid," Luna was singing, but her mind wasn't on the music like it usually was.

Instead it was on a booth in the back of the room. An unrecognizable figure had pulled up a chair and was sitting with the two pirates turned rebels.

And the person, whoever he was, had shields around his mind making it impossible for Luna to pick up on any of his intentions.

And the men Luna had noticed before had several people moving to block the exits while others were slowly surrounding the booth Han and Lando were in. Their intentions were tainted in the darkside.

It was obvious they were planning to kill someone or ones.

"Count my cards, watch carefully,

Stacked hand with your mortality,

Trace the scars you left on me,

Sharpen my knife and watch you bleed.


In the dead of night,

Count your sins by candlelight,

I go,

(Oh, oh, oh, one by one).


Came for what is mine,

I'm the reaper brought to life,

Oh no,

(Oh, oh, oh, reaper's home).


Beat my fist over my chest,

Lick the blood from off your neck,

Set my sights on your weakness,

You ready for what happens next?


I drag my claws across your chest,

Do to you the things you did.

No mercy, you're in my grip,

Say hello to the reaper, kid.


Set my sets on your weakness,

Say hello to the reaper, kid" Luna hadn't even finished the song when the Force flickered in warning just as the supposed spy threw a punch at Han, who managed to just barely doge. Not a moment later, the first blaster fired.

Chaos ensued.
