Act I (Part II)

Rey refused to take his hand, and then walked away from her room, entering a hallway.


[Finalizer]

"Well, if that's how you're going to answer me." Kylo Ren muttered to himself as he exited his room and quickly entered the hangar bay of his ship. His hands clenched into fists as he stared at the cold, dark space.

"Time to go." He ordered.


[C-Base]

Rey walked down the hallway, having a worried expression on her face. She kept thinking back the phrase, Ky-Ben Solo said to her, 'I wish to be no one. Only Kylo Ren is my identity. Ben Solo had always and shall be dead.'

As she kept walking down, feeling the presence of millions and millions of life forms around her. She then started to look around. Emptiness. Loneliess. Emotions she'd felt as a child growing up in Jakku. The same feelings she's felt within Ben.

"Rey?" A voice called out. Rey zones out of her thoughts and turns to see who called her, Finn. He approaches her slowly and asks, "Is everything alright?"

"Master Skywalker is dead." She state blankly. Finn looked at her confused, "Of course he is. He sacrificed himself to save us. He saved the Resistance."

Rey started to tear up a bit and stated "He told me not to go. Not to interfere with him. Not to go to Kylo Ren. I should've listened to him. If I did..."

Finn shook his head and said "It wasn't your fault at all. You did you know what was best."

Rey smiled at his words, but could they be backed up by action. She put that thought in the back of her head and proceeds to ask "How's Rose?"

Finn appeared to be stunned by the question but he answered it anyway, "She's fine. Improving in her health. But she's still in bed. Thanks for asking though."

Rey wished she didn't ask the question, knowing about the events with Rose and Finn during the Battle of Crait. She then decided to move on to a different subject. "I have to leave, Finn."

"What? Leave? To where?!" He exclaimed with a hint of anger.

"I need to go to Ilum. Ever since Master Skywalker and General Organa, I've been having dreams. Maybe, they were visions? I don't know exactly what they were. However, Luke appears in the dreams and he keeps muttering Ilum. I'm not sure if that's a person or a planet or whatever." Rey replied, knowing how disappointed this must make Finn feel.

"I'll go with you." Finn said out-of-nowhere.

Rey was surprised at this offer for a bit as she asked "Why?"

"I don't want to see you be left behind like last time. I was so worried about you, Rey." Finn replied.

"You don't have to worry about me. You have Poe, Chewie, Threepio, and Artoo to keep you company. Plus, I heard you and Rose had a kiss." Rey chuckled abut as she stated Finn and Rose kissing, Finn blushed and immediately resorted to denying it.

Rey walked past him, giggling to herself as Finn instantly turned, tried to catch up with her and tried to explain himself.


[Finalizer]

A fellow private approached General Hux in the main hallway as they both started to enter the command bridge.

"General, Kylo Ren wishes to see you in his quarters."

Hux was a bit stunned by this. Now he wants to talk after we've just discovered where the rebel scum is, he thought to himself.


As Hux walked down the hallway and tried to approach Kylo Ren's quarters. The doors open and within Kylo Ren mediating, facing the wall, quietly... too quiet.

"You wanted to speak with me. Even after we've found our enemies' base, you still insist on talking?" Hux complained until Ren said something that sent a chill in his spine, "The Knights of Ren are going to assemble."

Hux couldn't believe what he was hearing. Now of all places?! He thought to himself as Ren sensed he was irked by this.

"Is there a problem? I sense you don't like the idea of this assembly. It's not going to occur now. After we destroy the Rebel Base, I will conduct the meeting on the ancient home-world of the Sith, Moraband. I also expect to arrive there on time. Are the troops ready?"

Hux kept his thoughts to himself and proceeds with answering his Supreme Leader, "Yes, they are. What are your orders?"

Ren instantly got up and turned to Hux, saying "Now we bring pain. Now we bring destruction."

As usual, an entire fleet of Star Destroyers moved on closely to the Circarpous System, as a barrage of TIE fighters flew into space with the fleet and into the system.

Kylo Ren enters his own fighter and leads among the entire fleet. He activated the comment channel to speak with Hux at the command bridge.

"General Hux, keep the fleet at all surroundings of the Circarpous System. When the Resistance tries to escape, have no mercy taking them out."

"As you wish, Supreme Leader," Hux states expressing glee, hoping to finally destroy those rebel scum once and for all. "Anymore than that, Supreme Leader?" He asked, curious for any other destruction he wants to bring to the table.

"No further commands. Over and out." Kylo replied as he lead the TIE fighters into battle frontier.

Hux smiled to himself, with Ren doing stuff out of his perception, he could continue on with his own plans, trying to be the new Supreme Leader of the First Order. Ren only has sorcery by his side to help him win. And there is a way to beat him...

Rey was starting to get annoyed by Finn pleading into coming with her as she approached the Falcon, she took a deep breath to not get so angry with him. Besides, he didn't take no for answer so there was no way of changing his mind.

"Fine. You can come with me." She pointed her index finger upwards, "But don't interrupt what I do on Ilum."

Finn nodded. He then cheered with a jump-and-down swinging a clenched in the air and screaming "Yes!"

Rey chuckled at his excitement to come with her on an adventure... sort of.
