My eyes narrowed as she was brought in, by Lord Kylo Ren. My grip on the my sword tightened, expecting a fight. Nothing. Emperor Snoke spoke, but I tuned it out. My grip on the sword relaxed, only for a second, as Luke Skywalker's lightsaber flew from Kylo's hand, right next to Snoke. I decided to pay a little bit of attention. It went on, then I saw the one identified as Rey stole Kylo's Lightsaber, and I instantly went into a battle ready postion. Snoke gestured for us to stand down. Rey ran at Lord Snoke, but was stopped by his powers. I returned to neutral stance, and saw as Rey was manipulated her using the dark side. He then forced unto her knees in front of Kylo, and told him to finish her.
I could see resolve in his eyes, my worries gone. Snoke went on about how he sensed resolve, and how he intended to strike down his enemy. I dared not to think of what I wanted to do to that decrepit old fool. I instead watched. Until I noticed Luke's saber turn... Kylo, you sly snake. I thought as the lightsaber turned on, right through emperor Snoke. I smiled under my helmet. Finally. Him, dead. The one who ruined my life... Rey retrieved the saber, and I sprung into action. I had to pretend to stop them, and then maybe I could get away. The others converged on the two, who were fending off all of us. I slashed right at Rey, her lightsaber blocking my slice, I countered by jerking my blade up, underneath the lightsaber, and tried to push my blade in. She dodged, and threw a slash of her own. I barely blocked it, feeling the tinge of the lightsaber, even through my armor. I threw another slash, only to be sliced by Kylo. I fell to the ground in pain. But I wasn't dead. It wasn't a really deep wound. But it still threatened my life. I feigned death, waiting until the battle was over. I'm surprised to see that the last two had nearly overwhelmed the duo. But in the end, they perished.
The battle was over. I was spectator to an important event. "It's time for old things to die... Will you join me?" Kylo said to Rey. A tear streamed down her red cheek, I could tell she was surprised.
"Please... Don't go down this path..." She said back, conflict residing in her. I accidentally grunted in pain. The two turned to me.
"Mercy!" I cried, as Kylo's lightsaber turned on. I awaited the end. Kylo's lightsaber coming down to end my life. When suddenly, I heard a second lightsaber clash against another. I couldn't believe it. Rey had just saved my life. "Thank you... Truth is, I never liked the old fool." I said, my gaze falling on Snoke's decapitated corpse.
"What makes you so special? Why should I have stopped him?" Rey questioned. I groaned in pain, then began to explain.
"Long ago, when the first order was found, I was just an innocent bystander." I began to flashback as I told my story.
My name is Hunter. I lived in a city on Tatooine. I had a good life. I always had a little extra money on my hands. I was an average kind of person. Then, it all changed. That fateful day. When the first order ransacked my town. They took everything. Killed everyone. But they took ME as a prisoner. I don't know why. I had been in that prison for months. Until I heard of a rumor. A rumor that the Elite Praetorian Guard needed a new member. The new member would be a prisoner who's will had been broken. I then trained. As hard as I could. One day, emperor Snoke wished to speak to me. I was brought in, and questioned sternly. I answered in an imperial fashion. He then sent me off for training. A few more months, and here I am.
"Today was the day... The day I took revenge. Revenge meant to kill the man who ruined my life..." I explained. "I don't know what I'm going to do anymore..."
"Join the rebellion." Rey said. I thought about it.
"Join the First Order." Kylo said. I thought about it. The two stared at me with anticipation, yet I was surprised that they noticed I exist still. I sighed.
"Why do you care so much? Continue on whatever you were doing. I am no part of it." I said, relaxing a little. Rey and Kylo turned back to each other. Kylo outstretched his hand to her.
"Join me." He said.
"Why? You just found the mercy in your soul to save this man... Why must you go back to the dark side?" Rey said. I saw Kylo's hand slowly go to his lightsaber. Rey must of seen it too, as she tried to pull it using the force. He started to pull too. The lightsaber rumbled from the stress. Then, there was a blinding flash of light. Something shakes me. I open my eyes. It is Rey. "Hurry! We need to get out of here!" She said, and I briefly hoisted myself up using my sword. She looked a little distrusting."Leave it." She said.
"I can't. I learned how to use this weapon, and this weapon alone. I can't leave it behind." She sighed.
"Fine." She finally gave up. She started towards the exit.
"We can take Snoke's escape pod." I suggested. She then ran over to it, with me following close behind. She launched it. I passed out from the pain. Next thing I know, there is a wookie staring right at me. "Ah!" I exclaimed, trying to scoot, but I was in a bed. Rey came in from the other room. I also noticed a little porg flying around and screeching.
