"Troopers, the time is now. The Resistance is about to engage in an everlasting war, in which only one side can survive. We must destroy every last one of them before they do the same to us. We are prepared for anything they wish to throw at us. And we also know a terrifying secret..." Kylo Ren explained.
"A secret that will exterminate every last one of them..." he concluded.
Kylo had been providing his new fleet of Storm Troopers with a motivational speech before they engaged in the final battle.
Yet beyond even his knowledge there was one unique trooper who had no idea what his future held.
Kylo at that point withdrew his 'old' lightsaber and let it drop to the raised floor beneath him. As it stopped rolling, he stomped on it and completely crushed it, allowing sparks to spurt out from its core. He picked it up as it began to burn and tossed it out a window, smashing it.
The lightsaber imploded and created a rapidly enlarging cloud of space-dust mixed with fire and oxygen. It lit up the entire hall that he was in as the Stormtroopers stared in awe.
"Now let's blow up a star..." Ren growled as the cloud grew bigger than the planet it had previously skimmed by and engulfed it in flames, swallowing it on impact and devouring every last rock in range.
"The fools down there have exactly 24 hours before they burn..." Ren laughed.
Meanwhile, a single stormtrooper in the crowd wasn't staring in awe and admiration, he was staring in horror and confusion at what he saw before him.
It was at this point he finally understood how brutal the actions of a member of the dark side can be. He immediately crept out of the crowd in a state of panic and ran into one of the smaller technology rooms nearby. He took out his diary and recapped where he was up to - skimming through the pages.
The Diary
October 30th
Dear Diary,
My name is Lau Kico, a follower of the First Order. I have been in this group for a while now, and until recently, I've always been capable of appreciating my place in the Dark Side, but now I'm beginning to have a Moral Epiphany. I've been thinking, what exactly is the First Order's true goal that they want to achieve in all of this? Complete Destruction and Termination of the entire galaxy? And then appears this question: Why? Why is this all happening? Why do Kylo Ren and his troops want this so badly?
I remember when I first joined, I was hooked on the Dark Side by a mind-blowing propaganda video exported by the Knights of Ren.
When I got through training, I was given a 'special' gun as a reward for being one of the 'best of the best' after just a week of training. I was so honoured. But now I'm thinking about if it was the right choice to join the dark side. I was so enveloped in shock and awe when I saw the video, I clearly had no idea what I was doing. Perhaps I could just leave? No, obviously not, Kylo would hunt me down and slaughter me.
I'm honestly starting to wonder if I will ever make a good decision in life again...

Diary Entry #2. I just had a fight with another Stormtrooper, he caught me accidently blowing up an expensive piece of equipment and thought I did it on purpose. He accused me of being a traitor and got into a gun battle with me. I ended up blowing up a control room and he wounded my leg. I can't fight with my fleet tonight now.
Maybe I'm better off without a weapon. Maybe I'm better off not fighting.
Maybe I'm better off not being in the First Order at all.

Diary Entry #3
I've finally made my decision. I just witnessed the birth of a Fire Cloud. A Fire Cloud is a destructive cluster of Dust, Fire and Oxygen that is capable of wiping out planets in a matter of nanoseconds.
I'm done. This galaxy is too precious to me to lose. I'm going to leave the First Order, tonight, when the great battle begins. Kylo Ren will be distracted by the war and I'll take my chance when I can and leave...
I'll take my special gun with me, and I swear on my father's grave I shall annihilate all those who stand in my way. Once the Fire Cloud is strong enough it will envelope my people's home-world, then when it gets close enough, the sun, after that it will implode and wipe out every organic thing within a 7600-Mile radius. By then the stormtroopers should have escaped and I will be free.
The only let-down is that until then, there's no way to stop a Fire Cloud, anything you throw at it will just be devoured. Even if I do risk my life and succeed in my mission, what's the point? My home is doomed.
Wait, the sun! Of course... what if I...
GOTTA GO!
The lonely young trooper shut his diary and locked it in his safe, before dashing out of the room, only to find himself in the centre of a massive crowd of walking Stormtroopers, chatting excitedly amongst themselves. He sighed to himself before pushing his way to the back of the crowd and exiting into another corridor.
"This is it! Who'd have thought it? A single rebellious stormtrooper is actually enduring a mysterious quest to save his homeland from a fatal disaster! I'm so freaking excited!" he thought.
And so are we, young Lau Kico, so are we.
