Several days go by with no sign of attack. Ben begins thinking that maybe he was wrong. Maybe it was just paranoia.
Ben woke up to the early morning sun, he had a shower and began to get dressed. He had an unecpected vision. It showed death, but didn't show who's. All he knew, was that he was going to lose someone, and he believed it was the day the battle comes. With the vision over, Ben stumbles a little and uses a wall to rebalance himself. He quickly got dressed and told his mother what happened right away. Everyone had to be on their guard at all times. A battle was coming and no one knew when.
Some hours later there was still no signs, that's when a noise was heard from outside, like a low pitched screeching.
Ben knew exactly what it was.
"They're here." Ben says
"Are you sure?" Leia asks "that noise? It was a tie fighter. I know exactly what they sound like. They sound exactly like that."
"Everyone to your stations!!" Leia demands "May the force be with you."
Ben watched out the window as a ship landed and out from it came this new leader of the First Order, and a lot of stormtroopers.
"Come on!" Reyna smirks "Let's meet our guest!"
Reyna struts toward the door, and Ben grabs her hand.
"Wait for us to go with you" Ben whispers "no on I care about is getting hurt. We don't know what this person is capable of."
"Yeah, you're right." Reyna whispers back as the others join them.
Reyna and Ben open the doors and step outside with Rey, Finn, Chewbacca and an army of resistance members trailing behind. They stand in front of this new leader.
"You don't seem surprised to see me at all!" The hooded stranger chuckles
"I knew you were coming." Ben glares at the stranger
"Not to worry Ben," the stranger laughs "I wanted you to know."
The stranger walks up to Ben and whispers "but I don't think you've told them about the vision yet have you?"
"No." Ben quietly growls
"You probably should have" the stranger whispered again "They May have had a better chance at survival.."
"Who are you?!" Reyna demands "What do you want?"
"My name?" The stranger laughs. "Darth Duros. It doesn't really matter because you'll all be dead soon; but don't worry, not quite yet!"
Hoards Of stormtroopers begin running towards the resistance, firing their blasters at any moving target they see. The Jedi ignite their lightsabers and begin to battle. There are tie fighters in the sky with X Wings and Y Wings chasing behind them. Ben believes one of the Jedi were going to die so he put a lot of his time into protecting them. What he didn't know was that his mother joined the fight. Using her many skills she began taking out the stormtroopers one by one.
In midst of battle be. Noticed Darth Duros pointing a gun at someone, not moving, just standing there. Ben's heartbeat begins to beat faster. He looks to see his mother looking into the barrel of Darth Duros's blaster.
"NOOOO!!" Ben shouted at the top of his lungs. He began running toward his mother, he needed to save her.
"Don't go near her, Solo" Darth Duros threatens "I will kill her."
Ben begins moving toward Darth Duros with his lightsaber pointed toward his new enemy. "Let her go."
"You think that vision was a joke?" Darth Duros laughs "someone is dying today, and I've chosen who I want to kill."
"Kill me instead." Ben shouts "leave my mother out of this."
"I've already made up my mind" Darth Duros says
"Please..." Ben pleads
"I am not weak like you, Ben Solo. I do not show mercy." And with that, Darth Duros pulls the trigger.
In a panicked state, Ben behinds dinning towards his mother, but he knows he can't get there in time. He gets there in time to catch her after the blaster shot hits her in the chest.
"Mother..." Ben tears up
"Ben, I am so proud of you" Leia whispers "I always had hope you'd come back, and you did. You've become a strong man now. You've become a great person. Please don't ever change who you are. Please stay away from darkness Ben. I beg you."
"Never again will I go that way." Ben promises
"Ben..." Leia struggles "I love you. Just know that no matter what, I will always be with you."
"And I love you..." a tear rolls down Ben's cheek
Leia closes her eyes.
"Mother?!" Ben says frantically "wake up!"
He then realised she's gone. Princess Leia is dead. Stunned, Ben asked a few soldiers to carefully take his mother's body inside. Ben Turns to face Darth Duros. He says nothing, but Ben's face says it all
"See Ben Solo" Darth Duros says "unlike you, I keep my word. I will not back down and succumb to the light."
"You will pay for what you've done." Ben says trying to keep it all together. "I don't care how long it takes."
Well it won't be today as I've had my fun." Darth Duros chuckles. "Now I'm going to go back to base and enjoy my victory."
Darth Duros and the remaining troops left. Ben just lost his mother and he doesn't know what to do anymore.
"Ben..." Reyna whispers approaching Ben
"Reyna.." Ben pulls Reyna into his arms. There's a few moments of silence. "What do I do now?"
"Be the man she always wants you to be." Reyna whispers "it'll all be okay. One day."
