Note: I took some liberties and gave Phasma a backstory. It begins in the throne room right after Snoke's death...(The Last Jedi) + Luke is alive since he hasn't die yet.
Chapter 1:
A New Order
General Hux when over the conversation that just occurred on Snoke's chamber, his mind repetitively accused him of cowardly actions, his legs were shaken, cracking his knuckles he stopped and gazed at the destroyed fleet floating in space. Now he serve under a new supreme leader, Kylo Ren, but it wasn't by choice. He cursed himself. He had a chance to shoot Kylo Ren, but forced himself to relent when Ren awaken.
"As our new supreme leader, what will you do about the rebels in Crait?" He asked with a trembling tone in his voice.
With his hands folded behind his back, General Hux turned away from the glass window which had a view of outer space. The chaos caused by the lasted attack of the rebellion against the First Order fleet remained in his thoughts, they had to pay for their actions as soon as possible.
The next course of action had already been taken, General Hux's plan was to regroup if they wanted to have any chance of directing an assault on the remaining rebels in Crait.
"Get a damage report from our recent battle, I'll be on the lower deck." Kylo left the room holding one of his trembling hands. He still had not eliminated his feelings for the girl. It was a moment of weakness.
General Hux raised an eyebrow, curiosity over took him after seeing a flickering light that attracted his attention. The light came from the chair of Supreme Leader Snoke.
"Impossible-" The light came from a blinking white square inside the forearm of the chair. The general pressed the abnormal button and saw Kylo with Rey fighting the Imperial Guards just when he rewind it the hologram jumped to the death of Supreme Leader Snoke by Kylo Ren's own hand. Snow had touch a button in the console before dying, and the hologram ended.
"Traitor!" he yelled.
Kylo moved at quick pace through the hallways of the star-destroyer, he passed by some storm-troopers who were gathering their wounded comrades to one side of the room. Exploring the scenery around him, he noticed that the consoles were in no working conditions, there was not a single console left to call for reinforcements.
Kylo slammed his fits on the console, taking a deep breath, he shook off the sweat on his face and closed his eyes. What he had done was unforgivable, his only hope to grow stronger with the dark side of the force was gone, all because of a simple girl. How far he had fallen, perhaps, what Snoke told him was true after all.
He was a failure. No. That couldn't be. He had fulfilled his destiny when he betrayed and killed his master, just like other Sith's had done before him. He had nothing else to achieved, the student had finally become the master.
"When will the communications be restore?" asked Kylo returning to reality, one of the troopers approached him from behind.
"Sir, the ship can barely fly in this state, and our men are-"
"I said. WHEN!?" shouted Kylo turning around with his light-saber on.
"I have my men working on it asap." said a feminine voice.
Kylo gazed at the east hall when Captain Phasma arrived. Her half broken helmet rested on her hand, and the rest of her suit had received burns from the battle against the rebels. Kylo turned his light-saber off, and turned away from her.
"What's the situation?" Phasma remove the rest of her armor throwing it on the floor and remain in the underneath black uniform. "How is my father doing?" Kylo slowly turned his gaze at her, Phasma was re-calibrating her blaster, "Did the rebels escaped?" She placed the blaster on the console, and her gaze lifted toward Kylo when he didn't answered.
"Ben?" she asked again, but he didn't answered. He stood there looking at her in the eyes, his chest felt tight, and his hand started shaken again. She was one of the few who knew him by that name.
"Don't call me that." he replied.
"Sorry-" One of the near storm-troopers moved quickly to verify the wrist of a nearby officer on the ground, "I need a medic over here!" as soon as help came for him someone else entered the room.
"Arrest that traitor immediately." General Hux waltzed in with a dozen storm-troopers behind him.
"I demand you tell the meaning of this, General." She came to a halt in between them. He lifted his face with a burning desire on his eyes, Hux could see the flame color of hatred in them.
Kylo's hand slowly moved for his blade.
"Captain Phasma, this man is a traitor to the First Order." He demanded but she still didn't move away.
"Snoke is dead." Kylo replied taking her attention away from him. If she was to know, he had to her personally, even if she hated him for the rest of her life for that.
Kylo didn't knew her personally, they barely interact with each other and only when working do they speak, but they had a couple coffees together. They were not friends by any chance, neither were they lovers, more like acquaintances. But her knew about her been the daughter of the Supreme Leader.
"W-What?" her lips trembled and her eyes wavered.
"What are you waiting for? TELL HER HOW IT HAPPENED!" General Hux yelled.
"N-No-" Phasma's hand trembled, convincing herself that it couldn't be true. She doubt that he could do such a thing. Ben had been loyal to the Order, and to her father. Why? This had to be a plot by General Hux to take over the Order somehow, but why did Kylo doesn't deny it? It made no sense.
"I killed him-" Kylo raised his gaze from the floor to look at her and spoke, " ...I slice him in two like the bastard that he was." A smile decorated his face, but soon disappeared when he saw the storm-troopers blasters taking aim at him. "I AM YOUR NEW LEADER! PLACE THIS TWO UNDER ARREST!" Kylo's command was not followed, his eyebrows crossed, Phasma threw her tears aside and took General Hux blaster.
The room found itself crowded with the sound of the blasters, Kylo reflected many of the blasts killing some of the storm-troopers behind Captain Phasma. As expected, General Hux covered under the nearest desk while Kylo sliced the remaining storm-troopers to pieces.
Phasma move through the room taking cover from the blasters, arriving at the nearby door, she turned around and said, "For my father." A grenade rolled through the floor into the room, and the door closed behind her.
"What the hell are you doing!" General Hux hit the shut door with his fists screaming.
By the design of the bomb Kylo knew he had at least ten seconds before it detonated. Using the force Kylo moved at superhuman speed and pierced General Hux close to the waist with his light-saber.
Kylo's eyes starred at his with disappointment behind them, "S-Someone else will hunt you down, traitor-" he remove the light-saber turning it off, and he put it away. "Let them come for me, I'll kill every single one of them-" A smirk from Hux was not at all what he expected, but it didn't matter anymore, all he wanted was to leave and never comeback. Maybe, all he needed was to do just that. To let the past die.
Once the grenade exploded there was nothing but the silence of outer-space in the room, the grenade had destroyed what remained of the consoles, the walls, and the near windows. Kylo saw the general's body get drag by the explosion when both were sucked out of the spacecraft.
He used the force to create a force-field around him so he could breath. The impact from the explosion had send him into the next part of the spaceship, when his boots finally touched the metallic surface, he hold his breathe removing the force-field, and grabbed his light-saber.
Slicing through the wall, the Storm-troopers inside went flying through the hole into outer-space by the pressure, Kylo jumped inside and advanced to next room.
"There he is!" A storm-trooper from the bunch in front of him said, "Blast him!" commanded another.
He realize that there was no coming back from this, Captain Phasma must had alerted the whole spaceship by now.
Phasma saw a couple of storm-troopers flying into the wall as she walked through the hallway, they got knockdown by the impact. Kylo ran away from her into the next room and jumped on top of the nearby star-fighter. The door was locked. She fire all she had at him, Kylo dodged through the lasers, and jumped to one of the other spaceships.
Another gun was fired.
He turned around to stop the shot from the blaster in mid air with his free hand, but a piercing feeling that burned stroke his skin, the pain made Kylo aware that someone had got him on the lower part of his back.
"He is in the landing bay!" Phasma yelled through the communicators, and jumped from the bridge to the platform below where he had fell down.
Phasma searched through the wreck in the landing bay, but he was nowhere in sight. She found no sign of him. She knew that fighting a force user head on was suicide, she needed a plan before proceeding, and her own abilities were close to none.
"Damn, you!" she kicked one of the neared boxes, and headed for one of the star-fighters. Taking off she left the star-destroyer behind.
He hit the solid ground with his back grasping for air. He tried to rise but the wound made it hard for him to move. Shaking from side to side he made it slowly into the next star-fighter.
The star-fighter flew into outer-space, "Rey..." were his last word before he fell unconscious, and the star-fighter went through a black hole.
