STAR WARS

The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi for The Final Combat

The Resistance was able to return back to there base. One of many. Everyone was scattered all over the place. Poe and General Organa were figuring out there next move. Finn, Rey and Rose were still in the Falcon.

Rey was asleep. She dream't of Finn, Han, Leia and BB8. The things they've been through. Her and Finn never got to mourn Han, they never had the time. They were all on a beautiful hill eating amazingly good food as the sun shined against the lime green grass. They were happy, sharing laughs together, listening to Hans jokes. It was nice, but something happened she started to feel cold and the world felt dark. However it seemed like she was the only one who acknowledged it. Everyone was still having a great time. She looked around and noticed a black whole in the ground far away from the hill. She started towards it looking inside, she turned around to look at everyone back on the hill. It was warmer over there than over where she was. The sun was shining only over them and it was cloudy everywhere else. Rey looked into the hole one more time then began to get up and head back to everyone else, a vine grabbed her ankle causing her to slip into the whole of darkness and evil. Her heart felt heavy, like someone was pressing against her chest. She saw Finn, Han and Liea watch her from above the hole, their eyes were sunken in. She looked at them in such fear expecting them to help her. She looked at Finn then a bunch of water dropped in. Rey tried to scream but no sound would come out, she felt the water travel to her lungs. Rey opened her eyes and jolted up, drenched in sweat. She had fallen asleep sitting up. "It was just a dream." She thought to herself and began to relax.

Finn walked up to Rey. She watched as he sat down beside her. He smiled at her causing her fingers to twitch with the saber still in her hands. She couldn't help but smile back, she missed him so much and she could feel that he missed her too. He looked at the broken saber in her hands.

"What happened?" he motioned his head towards the saber. Rey began to clutch it.

"Kylo Ren happened." Finn lifted his hand in realization and began to rub under his nose.

"So..you're a Jedi now?" he said changing the subject. Rey arched her eyebrows in confusion.

"I don't know." she shrugged. "Nobody announced anything. Luke didn't really..do much." she added.

"He'd given up." Finn couldn't believe what he was hearing. How could a legend as big as Luke Skywalker just give up?

"So what I'm hearing is..he taught you nothing."

"Well, he did teach me something." She said. "He taught me what not to do. So that's something.." Finn nodded in agreement. Rey looked at Rose.

"Who's she?" Finn quickly turned his head to Rose then back at Rey.

"That's Rose. I actually met her trying to get to you." Rey looked at Finn. He always knows how to warm her heart.

"She thought I was running away, but I just wanted you to find me somewhere safe. Away from the First Order, away from this war." she was touched, she placed her hand on his sending electricity through both their bodies.

"Finn, running away from the war is not how we win." Finn shifted his eyes towards the floor. He knew she was right, but it was worth a try. "Besides, this is something we can't escape from." She started adjusting herself.

"Sometimes you have to make difficult choices.." he said gazing at the ground. Rey looked at him, he wasn't wrong. People do have to make difficult decisions sometimes. Kylo gave her a choice, to join him or not. She made a decision to help Ben come back: a person who was already gone. She failed him, as well as herself. Now she understood how Luke felt. Poe walked up to them.

"Hey." he said. Rey and Finn looked at him. Waiting for him to say something else. "You guys catching up?" Rey looked at Finn and nodded.

"Did Finn tell you about his adventures with Rose?" He sat down in between them causing them to shift.

"No." Rey replied. Poe begins to go on and on about what they've been up to while she was off with Luke. He spent most of his time with Rose. Poe then tells Rey about what happened when she distracted the TIE fighters. Finn then elbowed him causing Poe to look over. Finn gave him a look that Poe didn't understand.

"You sacrificed yourself?" Rey said to Finn. Poe then realizes that he shouldn't have said that.

"I guess I'll leave you two to it." He said getting up.

"I may have tried to fly into a laser."

"Why?" Rey's heart started to race.

"It was the only way to stop it."

"Finn." Her voice cracked, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her eyes had gotten teary. If he'd sacrificed himself they wouldn't be talking right now, she would have been looking for him through the crowd of people after lifting the rocks to set them free. She would have never seen him again and for that she had no words. A cough came from across the room, it was Rose. Finn hurried to her.

"I need a medic!" He shouted. Rey walked up behind him to see what was happening. A medic rushed towards her and patted her wounds causing her to grunt in pain.

"Finn..." she whispered then went back to sleep.

"False alarm!" The medic said waving her arm at everyone.

"She still out. She needs a little more time to heal." Finn stroked Rose's hair back cause Rey to shift uncomfortably. She didn't like that.

"Okay." Finn said backing away from Rose. The medics took her to a out of the Falcon. Finn sat down, Rey looked at him. She knew how he felt, she felt the same way when he was in a coma. Poe approached to her with his hands on his hips, watching her stare at Finn.

"General Organa wants to speak to you."

"Does he love her?" She asked. Poe looked at her as if that came out of nowhere. Then back at Finn.

"Love is a strong word. They're good friends." Rey sighed with relief. Poe crossed his arms and tilted his head.

"Come to think of it. Rose was in love with him."

"Like family?" Poe began to chuckle.

"More like romantic lovers." Rey's stomach turned. Poe looked at Rey and realized she didn't like the sound of that.

"But, Finn was too blind to see because he was thinking of you. He went on a whole adventure with Rose, with you on his mind." Poe began to mock Finn.

"We have to do it for Rey." He laughed. Rey didn't like how Poe was making fun of Finn, even if he was joking. She headed to General Organa who was talking to Chewie, then noticed Rey's presence.

"Rey, please sit." Rey sat next to her and motioned for everyone else to leave.

"What happened?" She asked motioning her head towards the saber. Rey looked at it, she had forgotten she was holding it after all this time.

"Ben.." she said clutching it tight. General moves closer and places her hand on Rey's shoulder.

"He wanted me to join him. He wanted us to rule the galaxy together." Liea took her hands off Rey's shoulder and sighed. Rey hasn't made eye contact since she sat down.

"He killed Snoke.."

"Well that's a relief." Liea replied under her breath. "Is that how it broke?" She added clearing her throat. Rey nodded.

"The darkness...it's pulling me in..." Rey cried. Leia wrapped her arm around Rey's shoulder and pulled her in for a hug. "I won't let it take me." Rey said. General felt pity. She knows what it's like to go through so much at a young age, from losing her parents to discovering the force and being held captive. It's not easy. Rey wiped a tear off her cheek.

"Your a strong woman Rey...I want you to know that." A knock at the door startled the two in their moment and Poe walked in.

"Oh sorry..I didn't realize you guys were-"

"What is it Poe?" General asked annoyed.

"I just...we need a plan." General rolled her eyes at his response but it was important.

"What do you have in mind?" She asked. Poe got really excited and ran out the room. Rey and Leia looked at each other in confusion. Then he came back with Finn. They both sat down so close that they all were breathing the same air.

"Do you have to be so close." General said trying to shift over.

"Ok so, what were thinking is capturing Kylo."

"Why?" Rey asked. Poe and Finn looked at Rey like the answer was obvious.

"Because under all that evil. He's still Leias son." Poe stated.

"Anyway here's how we're going to do it. With the help of Rey as a distractio-"

"Wait wait wait. What do you mean a distraction? Your going to use me as bait?" Poe and Finn looked at each other then nodded. Rey looked at Leia who agreed with them. Rey sighed and went along with it. They then discuss the rest of the plan and all concurred it. So they told the rest of the crew.

"What if the plan fails?" Rey asked.

"If worse comes to worse we'll call for back up." Poe answered.

"Alright." General sighed. "Let's get this party started." Everyone packed the little amount of weapons they had left and got ready.

Meanwhile On Kylo's Ship.

Kylo was infuriated, yet another fight lost. He wasn't playing this time.

"I want everyone to track down that ship!" He directed.

"What are we going to do with Snoke dead?" Hux questioned. Kylo turned around and gave Hux a deadly stare that frightened him.

"We fight, and win." He answered and continued off. "This galaxy will be mine." he continued.

"I agree." said a familiar voice. It was Phasma, her suit was destroyed and you could see her eye through the hole in her mask. She took it off revealing her pale skin, rosy cheeks and white blonde hair.

"We will destroy the Resistance and we will rule the galaxy." Hux was baffled by her appearance. Kylo shook his head in agreement and headed towards the back. He began to feel Rey's presence he looked to his side and saw her. Unaware of what happened she looked Kylo in the eye. No words were said. No words needed.

"I wasn't expecting to see you." he said breaking the silence.

"Me neither." her expression stayed neutral. It was silent again.

"I've been thinking a lot." Rey said. Kylo looked up at her. "Is Ben really gone?" Kylo gave Rey a malevolent look.

Back on Falcon

"Everybody ready?" Poe asked. Both Finn and Rey gave him a thumbs up. A medic came and whispered into Finns ear. Rey looked at Finn wanting to know what's going on. The medic led him to the room in the back where Rose was, Rey followed. She didn't want to be away from him if it wasn't necessary. Rose was lying there her eyes open.

"She said she wanted to talk to you." the medic said. Rey looked at Finn who was focused on Rose.

"Hey Rose." he walked toward her. She turned her head.

"Finn." she smiled. "Your okay."

"Yeah so are you." He chuckled. Finn looked at Rey.

"Oh Rose, meet Rey." Rey came a little closer and waved her hand.

"Rey!" she sat up. "Finn has told me SO much about you!" Rose had the biggest smile on her face. Rey shifted her eyes at Finn then back Rose.

"He told me about the journey you guys went on and how you fought Kylo Ren."

"He told me about your adventures too." Rey replied causing Rose to blush. Rose frowned and put her hand on Finns shoulder.

"Listen, Finn...I'm sorry for what I did." Rey was confused. What did she do? Rey thought.

"I don't want it to be awkward between us. I just thought I was going to die, so I-"

"I get it. Anyone would've done that." Finn interrupted. Poe rushed in.

"Oh Rose, your awake glad to see you in motion. But guys we have to go now."

"Right, sorry." Rey and Finn hurried up with Poe.

"Where are you guys going?" Rose asked.

"Just going to run a little errand." Poe said bouncing up and down in a hurry.

"I'm coming too." She began to remove the blanket off of her.

"No, you still have to heal."

"I'm healed, see!" Rose began to move around, run, and jump. "See, I'm not hurting."

"It's not part of the plan." Poe said rubbing his chin.

"Come on. It's not like I'm useless."

"Okay." Poe said grabbing her arm and leading her towards Rey and Finn. Rey picked up her old stick that she used back on Jakku and swung it like a light saber.

"You think that'll protect you?" Poe asked. Finn gave Poe a look.

"It's kept me alive so far."

"Trust me, getting hit with that thing hurts." Finn said. Rey felt sympathy for Finn.

"Sorry." She said to him.

"Before you go." General Organa walked toward them. She had handcuffs in her hands like the ones Kylo put on Rey when they visited Snoke. "He wont be able to use the force through these." She handed it to Poe.

"Bring him back. Safe." Poe nodded and the group headed out.

Back with Kylo

"She should be coming in from here." Kylo said instructing his troopers to stand by. He stood with such posture with his hands behind his back waiting for their arrival. After a while he began to slouch because they didn't arrive as quick as he expected. Some troopers chuckled at how long he was standing causing him to stare at them. The ship finally came and he fixed his posture. Rey walked out with her arms up. Troopers walked up and searched for weapons. Only finding the stick from Jakku, they just tossed it on the ground.

"Just you?" Rey didn't answer she kept her arms up.

"Check the ship." troopers walked into the Falcon to find nothing. They nodded their heads as they exited.

"Check the base." the troopers lazily looked around.

"Where are you guys?" Finn asked into the earpiece.

"We're-" the earpiece died.

"Man, I'm starting to think splitting up wasn't a good idea." Finn took out the earpiece and started smacking it. No luck. He stood up and bumped into someone.

"Well look at who it is." the man put his hands on his hips. It was DJ. "How'd you survive the explosion?" he asked Finn.

"Luck." He said suspiciously.

"Well it looks like it just ran out." He said. Finn looked behind him to find two storm troopers with guns in there hands.

"I lost Finn."

"Well get him back!" Rose demanded. Poe looked at Rose and shook his head.

"It's not that easy." he took out the earpiece and started breaking it apart.

"Someones coming!" Rose said tapping Poe. They crawled away and around the corner was. You guessed it. Two Storm troopers. They both looked up at them.

"Not to self: Crawling does not make you invisible." Poe said, Rose shook her head. One of them stepped on the earpiece.

The troopers walked in holding on to Finn, Rose and Poe. They dropped them to their knees. Rey looked at them with no expression on her face. With her hands still in the air.

"Was this apart of your little plan to kill me?" Kylo said. Rey remained silent. All of a sudden Rey lowered her hands and her head. Something came over her in that moment, it was the pull to the dark side. She slowly lifted her head and looked at Kylo. She raised her hand out to him.

"Rule the galaxy...together." Rey said. He looked at her.

"Is this a trick?" She nodded.

"Why would I bring them here. For nothing? We all have to make a sacrifice." Rey stated. All three of them looked at her in confusion.

"Wait what?" Rose said.

"They have done nothing but ruin my life." Rey explained. Finn gulped, his heart broke. She didn't mean that did she? He thought.

"Ever since I met Finn, I've been hunted down kidnapped and abused. I've been doing nothing but risking my own life for others, who've done nothing for me...people I don't care about..I just wanted to find my parents..who you have proved aren't coming back for me. There was nowhere else to go. Then I remembered what you told me. That I was nothing...but not to you. That touched me in a way I didn't understand then, but I do now. I'm ready now."

"Take them away." Kylo demanded.

"Make them suffer." Rey said. Finn looked at Rey who made no eye contact with him. Finn had such betrayal in his eyes. The one person he cared about just betrayed him. The one person he fought for, the person he risked his life for. This is what he gets in return.

"Rey? Rey!" Finn yelled. Poe was in denial at what was happening and Rose was just confused all around.

"I'll take that one." said a familiar voice. It was Phasma.

"Rebel scum." she said grabbing Finn's arm.

"Finn!" Rose shouted.

"Don't worry I'll be fine!" Finn yelled back from across the room. Kylo and Rey had exited along with Hux.
