Rey woke up alone, still. She was disappointed, hoping he would be there. She got up, washed herself and got dressed, tying her hair in a different style to usual. She picked up her staff and the blaster Han Solo gave to her and went to see Chewie on the Falcon. Luke had told her to meet him on the beach at noon.

Rey smiled at Chewie and tickled the Porg that had made its home on his shoulder. "You know that you love these, they're not hurting anyone."

Chewie shrugged slightly and growled.

"Yes, I know they must be a nuisance. But you haven't thrown them out yet? And you haven't eaten one since."

Chewie shook his head and leaned back in the seat.

Rey sat beside him. "I need to leave soon. Master Luke says he's running out of things to teach me because I pick them up too fast."

Chewie laughed and shook his head.

"He says he has one last thing to teach me, and then my training will be complete."

Chewie growled.

"Yes, and then we'll activate the beacon and find our way ho-" Rey was cut off, looking up at Ben, who was in front of her. "...home to Finn and Leia," she finished. "I'll see you soon, Chewie."

Rey made her way off of the Falcon and made a good distance away before turning to Ben. "Ben?" she asked.

"You changed your hair," Ben said. "I like it."

Rey shook her head. "What's wrong?"

"Hux wants to start an all out-launch on the Resistance ship."

Rey stopped walking. "I'm coming to you."

"What? No, Rey, stay. It's too dangerous."

"I don't care how bloody dangerous it is, I'm coming to you!" Rey stormed towards her hut to gather her things.

"I'm going to save Ben Solo," she said to Luke. "I can feel he's at his most conflicted, he can be swayed either way. I am going to bring him back to the Light."

Luke looked at her. "I don't think you can. But you can try."

"I will return to complete my training," Rey said.

Luke gave a wan smile and nodded. "If you say so."

Rey nodded and she gathered her things before going back to the Falcon.

Ben gave a frustrated shout when she walked away from him. She couldn't come here, it was too dangerous. Hux would imprison her, Phasma would torture her. And Snoke, Snoke would surely kill her. He couldn't lose her. She was his everything.

"Is… everything alright, sir?" a stormtrooper asked. "General Hux needs you on the bridge."

Ben nodded. "Yes," he said shortly. "What is your number, trooper?"

"JR-0320," the trooper responded.

"And your designation?" Ben pressed. "The name your fellow troopers call you."

The trooper hesitated. "Weapon," he said after a moment. "They tell me I'm a weapon of mass destruction."

Ben gave a chuckle at that, moving out of his quarters and finding another trooper "What is your number?"

"ZM-1196," the trooper saluted. "My friends call me Onit. If they need something I have it half done."

Ben nodded. "Good to know," he said. "Do you have people you trust? I have a internal covert mission for you."

"AP-1096," Onit said. "My brother, Ashmaker. He burnt down half the base on two occasions."

"RN-0895," Weapon replied. "Obvious. Pretty explanatory."

Ben nodded. "Gather your men and I will tell you your mission.

Rey leaned over the console of the Falcon. "Go straight back into hyperspace as soon as I drop," she told Chewie before getting into the escape pod and launching it. She watched the Falcon go before the viewport closed.

When she opened her eyes next she was looking at Ben.

No. Those weren't Ben's eyes, this wasn't her Ben.

This was Kylo Ren.

He stepped aside and there was four troopers. One of them held restraints. They opened the pod and she was put into the restraints before they pulled her out of the pod.

Rey looked down. She didn't want to look at Kylo Ren. She didn't want to know the man that hid her Ben. They were loaded into an elevator and he pressed a series of buttons.

"Ben," Rey said. "Ben, please."

Kylo looked at her. He reached behind her and slammed his fist into the control panel. The lift shuddered to a stop.

Rey frowned at him. Then she was looking into Ben's eyes.

He kissed her, holding her close as he did. A kiss full of passion and longing.

Rey kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"I told you not to come," Ben breathed, kissing her neck.

"I wanted to," Rey breathed back. "You needed me."

Ben held her tight. "He wants to see us," he said.

"I expect so," Rey said. "Ben, when we touched hands, I saw your future. As solid and clear as you are now. You will turn," she stroked his cheek. "I'll help you."

Ben shook his head as the lift started moving again. "I saw yours. You will stand beside me." He stepped back, his eyes hardened and once again he was Kylo Ren.

The doors opened and Kylo lead Rey out towards Snoke, before he knelt and kept his eyes down.

Fire. That's what Rey would say whenever someone asked what being tortured by Snoke felt like. It felt like burning fire, indescribable, excruciating pain. She could barely think, barely even register that she had been dropped to the floor. She scrambled to her knees as Ben- Kylo -rose and held his lightsaber out.

"You think you can turn him? Pathetic child. I cannot be betrayed, I cannot be beaten," Snoke sneered.

As this was happening, Ben was using the Force on the Skywalker lightsaber, turning it slowly so its deadly end was pointing towards his Master.

"I see his mind, I see his every intent. Yes. I see him turning the lightsaber to strike true. And now, foolish child, he ignites it, and kills his true enemy," he continued. Then he looked down in shock at the blue saber running through his body.

Ben flicked his fingers up, and the saber came towards him, slicing Snoke in half.

Rey's hand snapped up to catch it mid air. She got up, looking into Ben's eyes. He ignited his saber, the crystal's scream filling the air as they turned to fight the guards.

Slash. Parry. Block. Roll, slash, turn, stab. Lean back, kick, grab Ben's thigh. Pain. Instinct. Ben. Ben.

"Ben!" Rey threw her lightsaber, trusting him to catch it.

He did and flashed it on and off to kill his captor.

Rey rushed towards the window, looking to the ships. "The Resistance-!" she turned to him, only to find him staring at Snoke's body.

No.

At the throne.

"Ben?"

"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to," Ben said. "Snoke. Skywalker. The Sith, the Jedi, the Resistance. All of it," Ben said. "Join me, we can bring a new order to the galaxy. Rule it side by side."

"Ben. Ben, don't do this. Don't go this way," Rey swallowed. "Don't go down a path I can't follow, that I won't follow," she said.

"No, no, you're still holding on, LET GO!" Ben shouted. He held out a gloved hand.

"Come back," Rey pleaded. "I love you."

"Please," Ben said.

Rey reached up with a shaking hand. It broke her heart, she felt his pain so keenly. She itched to take it, but she knew she wouldn't be able to. She had a duty. Rey reached out and called the Skywalker saber to her, only to meet the resistance of Ben- no, no, Kylo -pulling it back towards him.

There was a blinding light. They were both thrown backwards. The saber was split in half.

Anakin Skywalker wiped a hand down his face. His grandson was very much a chip off the old block, but it was the wrong kriffing block of his personality. This was too much like when he had become Vader to try and save his wife.

"Ani?" Padmè asked, putting a hand on her husband's shoulder. "Are you alright?"

"I'm okay, Angel. Just frustrated with that nerfherder of a grandson that I have," Anakin gave a wan smile.

"He'll make the right decision, Ani. You have to trust him. He'll get the help he needs," Padmè said. "He won't become Vader, he loves her too much even if he doesn't know it yet."

Rey woke up first, her ears ringing as she sat up. Everything came back to her in a rush and she scrambled up. She gathered the two saber pieces and looked to Ben-.

No. Kylo Ren. She had to stop thinking of him as Ben, it was clear he wasn't Ben anymore. He didn't want to be.

But even as she thought that, Rey brushed a kiss to his forehead. "I love you," she whispered. Then she ran to find an escape pod.

Along her way she was found by Chewie and they flew away from the Supremacy, towards Crait.

Kylo Ren woke up to Hux's screeching.

"The girl killed Snoke and escaped to Crait. Prepare everything we have-"

"The Supreme Leader is dead-!" Hux was cut off and he raised a hand to his throat.

"The Supreme Leader is dead?" Kylo asked, his voice tinged with anger.

Soon they were marching on the Rebel base, a Battering Ram cannon leading the way as they fired on the pods-

They lost a ship. The Falcon.

"Blow that hunk of junk out of the sky!" Kylo demanded.

"Kriffing bantha poodoo-brained nerfherder!" Anakin threw his hands up in the air. "Kriff, boy, learn from your family mistakes! You avoided losing a hand, why not avoid the kriffing Dark side too!"

"Hunk of junk? Hunk of kriffing junk?!" Han raged. "I raised him better than that, oh he had better be glad I'm not a Force user I would swing for him!"

"Put every gun we have on that man!" Kylo ordered, bending over the console to look through the windscreen at Luke Skywalker.

Every gun they had fired.

"Do you think you got him? Ahhh!" Hux made an undignified noise.

"Nice cape drop."

"Shut up Obi-Wan."

"Are you still mad your grandson was named after me?"

"It's not even your real name!"

"Lifting rocks," Rey sighed as she looked at the rockfall that the strange white animals had squeezed out of. On the other side she felt Finn, Leia and many others. She closed her eyes and reached out.

"I will destroy her. And you. And all of it."

"Amazing. Every word you just said was wrong," Luke said. "The Rebellion is reborn today. The war is just beginning. And I will not be the last Jedi."

Kylo screamed with rage and ran Luke through with his saber.

Luke didn't crumple.

Kylo stabbed him, but his saber only went through again. Luke still didn't die. "See you around, kid," he said, and vanished.

Kylo stormed back to his ship, shouting for troopers to join him. He actually picked up his cape, however. Then he stopped. He felt the overwhelming Force presence of Luke Skywalker. Then it was gone. There was no fear, no pain, no anger. Only peace, and purpose.

Weapon, Onit, Ashmaker and Obvious were among those he took into the now empty and destroyed Rebel base.

Rey managed to lift the rockfall, and everyone came pouring out of the space.

"Rey! Rey!" Finn shouted and he launched himself at the young Jedi.

Rey smiled and hugged her friend back. "Finn!"

She loaded everyone onto the Falcon.

Then she looked down and saw Kyl-... those were Ben's eyes.

Kylo Ren was in the command center. He knelt down to pick up a pair of golden dice on a chain, inscribed with Correllian symbols. He looked up and saw Rey on the Falcon.

Their eyes met. He reached a hand out.

Rey watched him, her eyes searching his face for something, anything. Emotion. Regret. Anger. Anything.

He reached a hand out.

She shut the door.

Ben looked back down, his hand clenching around the dice to stop his bottom lip trembling. He had flinched when she closed the door. He didn't want her to go, to leave him.

I love you too. He sent it through their bond, knowing he would have no answer.

"Sir?" Ashmaker asked. "Is everything alright?"

"Yes. Everything is fine," Ben said after a moment and he steeled himself back into Kylo Ren.

Ashmaker nodded and turned back to his brother and his friends. "Give him a minute. Find something to do."

"I swear he was looking at someone," Obvious said.

Weapon, Onit and Ashmaker groaned. "Keep up, kriffbrains."

Anakin, Padmè, Obi-Wan, Yoda and Han gathered around the hunched figure of Ben Solo.

"Are you sure that he will bring balance to the Force, Master?" Anakin asked.

"Doubt me, you do, Skywalker?" Yoda rose an eyebrow. "Wrong, never have I been. About you, correct I was. About your son, correct I was. About this, correct I know I will be."

Obi-Wan stroked his beard. "Well at least there was no lava involved. The only person who ended up dead was Snoke."

Han shook his head. "The kid- Luke, I mean. He's ascended."

"Became one with the Force, he has," Yoda chuckled. "See him soon, we will."

Padmè smiled brightly. "I will finally get to meet my son. I haven't seen him since he was born," she said. "My beautiful boy."

A/N: I know it's shorter than the last one but I was rushing it cause I wanted to get to the end of the movie. I apologize for any inaccuracies; they will be fixed when I've seen the movie again.

The Stormtroopers are based on four of my co-workers who begged to be in the story. Their nicknames are based on their personalities.

I hope you like the little Force ghost scenes.

Love you all,
