Chapter 1
Distractions
Luke Skywalker knew that he had to go to Leia and save the Resistance. He also knew that it was time to face his demons and finally confront, and kill his nephew. Rey knew that Ben Solo was still alive somewhere deep within the masquerade that was Kylo Ren.
She also knew that it was her job to save him.
The Resistance was currently relying on a giant rust bucket of a door to protect them from the First Orders highly advanced weaponry. Finn and Poe looked at each other and sighed. The Force seemed to be working against them as of late.
"May I have your attention?" General Leia Organa's voice bounced off of the walls of the cave.
Silence immediately came over the 30 or so survivors. "Today may very well be the day that the spark bursts into a flame that will burn the First Order to the ground! Or it may be the day that our little spark, the spark that we have kept going for so long, finally snuffs out. The fate of the galaxy is up to you. So prepare for battle my friends! For we will make our final stand here. May the Force be with you."
With Leia's dismissal, the rebels burst to life, preparing their blasters, and fighters. Before they depart, many say there farewells now, lest they not return.
With a solemn nod Leia sends the Resistance to a nearly hopeless battle.
General Hux scoffs as he watches the Resistance's pitiful attempt to take down the First Order. Kylo Ren leans forward, over the controls searching for Rey.
"Supreme Leader." Hux states disdainfully. "Have you heard a word that I've said? We need to have a strategy." Kylo glares at the ridiculously self-righteous General. "Lucky for us I have one. Kill every last one of them. I don't care how many troops we need. If a single one of them survives, we have failed."
Hux scoffs again at this ridiculous proposal. "That's hardly what I would call strateg-" The General is suspended a few inches above the ground, nearly choking to death as Kylo shoots his arm out in his direction.
"I want every. Last. One. Dead. Is that understood?" Kylo spits. He throws Hux to the floor, who's rubbing his neck. "Yes, Supreme Leader! Excellent strategy!" he wheezes.
Kylo rubs his temples. Someday he is going to kill Hux and it is going to be one of the greatest moments of his life. "The Resistance is approaching sir," a pilot informs him. "All unit's fire at will." Ren commands. "No rebel is leaving this planet alive."
The typical peace and quiet of the planet vanished as walkers, fighters and blasters pierced the silence. The battle was so intense and distracting that no one from either side noticed as an old X-plane landed behind the rebel base.
A/N: I really liked how this chapter turned out, even though I had no intention of starting it this way. It has been almost three years since I last attempted to write FanFiction. I am not very good at sticking with a story because I always lose motivation or get writers block that never goes away. This time it will be different. I don't know how regular the updates will be (I hope for at least 2 a week) but I swear this story WILL be completed. If I have to watch TLJ everyday just for inspiration I will. Anyways please follow, favorite, review etc. Any and all love is welcome. I hope to have another update before the New Year, but I don't make any promises. Until next time!
