Rey flew the ship straight into the middle of the field where the captured Resistance fighters were being loaded onto transport ships.

"Stop!" Rey shouted, climbing from the ship, lightsaber in hand. She deflected the first few bolts the Stormtroopers sent her way.

"Rey, run!" Finn shouted from the crowd. She didn't listen, slamming a Stormtrooper into the ground, effectively knocking him out. Three more came at her and Rey quickly sent them to the ground.

A group of seven surged towards her and she bared her teeth slightly, ready to fight. She ducked under a bolt, sending it into another white armored man, seeing him crash to the ground before she slashed at the one who shot at her, sending him down with the other.

They decided shooting at her wasn't the best idea, so they backed away in exchange for those armed with control batons. But they were nothing compared to Kylo's skill, which she had become accustomed to. Rey was just about to send the last one to the ground when a bolt hit her in the back, sending her to the ground. It was only meant to stun her.

"No!" she heard Finn scream, and could hear him fighting against the guards.

"Cowards!" Poe's voice joined his, "you couldn't beat us in a fair fight!"

Rey tried to pick herself up, but the troopers grabbed her, forcing her into a kneeling position.

"Interesting." Black boots stepped up to her. She felt like spitting on them. Looking up spitefully, she saw the black coat and ginger hair of General Hux.

"You are just as powerful as Leader Snoke said you would be," he continued, "perhaps even more so."

Rey struggled against the white clad hands holding her down, ignoring the burning pain in her back.

"Luckily, the Supreme Leader ordered for you to be undamaged. Otherwise, things would have turned out much differently." Hux knelt down to her level and she sent him a withering glare which only seemed to amuse him.

"I must thank you for bringing me this ship." He gestured to the Fighter she had flown here. "We needed the exact coordinates of Kylo Ren's ship to commence the attack. The Supreme Leader will be pleased." Hux ran a gloved finger over her cheekbone, leaving a trail of disgust along her skin. "Take her away. She will be delivered to the Supreme Leader when we arrive at the Finalizer."

He stood and brushed off his hands, while Rey was shoved harshly aboard the ship, blasters pointed at her head.

She was thrown into a cell alone.

"Rey?" someone asked. She looked up, and in the cell across from her was a familiar man.

"What's going on?" Padmé asked, rushing to the hangar, the others following, "has she come back?"

The group of invisible spirits watched as the First Order's ships arrived one by one, surrounding the Destroyer.

"We're under attack," Anakin breathed, "we have to warn him."

He disappeared in an instant.

"Ani it's no use!" Kenobi shouted into thin air, "he can't see us!"

"Aware are you that hear he cannot?" Yoda dryly asked, despite the dire situation.

"We have to do something," Padmé said, staring at the increasing number of ships gathering around the Destroyer.

"Han!" Rey scrambled to her feet and clutched onto the bars.

"You alright kid?" he asked, lined face showing genuine concern.

"Yeah," Rey muttered, pushing on the bars slightly, "I have to get out."

"They'll just shoot you," Han muttered tiredly, slumping against the wall.

"I have to warn Kylo." She started looking for hinges on the door.

"Warn him?" Han asked incredulously, "how'd you get away from him?"

Rey stopped her motions and knelt down to his level. "He let me go. He let me try and help."

"I don't understand…" Han pensively muttered, "why would Ben let you go?"

"Maybe he's not as lost as you fear," she whispered. Han looked back to her, the living proof that Ben was still inside Kylo.

How did Han know him before, as Ben?

The transport's engines turned on, interrupting her thoughts. Rey caught a glimpse of the panel on the wall that would open the doors. Breathing deeply, she shut her eyes and stretched her hand towards it. She could hear sparks fly from it before it beeped and all the cell doors opened.

Han scrambled to his feet as the door slid open.

"Are you going to help me?" Rey asked, "and Ben?"

Han was still for a moment before nodding resolutely. "Yes. But I've got to find Leia."

She nodded and he disappeared down the corridor. Two Stormtroopers came towards them. One of them stupidly had her lightsaber with him. Effortlessly, she pulled it to her and lit it. The troopers shot at her but she slashed at one's legs and hit the other over the head, sending them crashing to the ground.

Rey ran to the bridge and found a few more Stormtroopers waiting for her, which she took care of just as quickly. Resistance members rushed in behind her, filling the space quickly.

Technicians shut the transport down and she immediately ran off it, heading for the hangar. The Millennium Falcon was untouched by the First Order. Pulling up the flight logs, she set a course for the Destroyer, in desperate pursuit of the other ships which were ahead of her.

"Ben," Anakin pleaded, desperately pacing around his unaware grandson, "listen, please! You're under attack."

He sat on the edge of his bed, staring into nothing, elbows resting on knees, propping his head on his hands.

"Please," he begged, "hear me. You have to fight back."

Lights flashed on a console nearby. Kylo glanced up at them before using the Force to shut them off. Anakin could feel his despair. He wouldn't do anything without Rey.

"Only one life sign aboard sir," the technician dutifully reported, "presumably Kylo Ren."

General Hux nodded curtly.

"Order the troops to board. But leave Kylo Ren to me."

He turned and followed them off the ship. Walking calmly through the Destroyer, unaffected by it's deathly silence, he found his rival alone on a bridge spanning a deep chasm.

The Stormtroopers walked through the hangar, unaware of the invisible Force ghosts surrounding them.

"Attack!" Anakin shouted, remaining invisible, along with the others. They used the Force to send the Stormtroopers flying, smashing them into each other. Bolts flew harmlessly through their ethereal forms. They were desperate to protect Ben- their last hope for balance.

It was only a few minutes before the Resistance ships landed and their fighters joined their invisible allies. The Force ghosts had to be careful to not give away their existence, resorting to protecting the fighters instead of attacking the troops.

Leia approached, blaster in hand and Han beside her. Despite her Force sensitivity, the ghosts remained invisible to her.

"No!" Anakin shouted as a bolt came her way and he sent it spiraling into the wall. Leia looked surprised, like she could feel his presence, but kept fighting. He smiled at his daughter for a moment, despite the fact she couldn't see him.

Soon enough most of the Stormtroopers were on the ground, either dead or unconscious. The rest fled from the invisible Jedi, returning to their ships. The fighters began cheering with their invisible allies, elated at their victory.

"Hello Ren," Hux hissed to the unmoving figure, blaster pointed at him. "The Supreme Leader sent me."

Kylo felt betrayal slice through him. His master sent the First Order to kill him.

But he didn't care. She left. He could kill him if he wanted. There was nothing left for him.

Hux pulled the trigger and Kylo fell forward, the unimpeded bolt hitting him on his shoulder. It hurt him less than what he already felt. He fell over the guardrail, but instinctively grabbed onto it with one hand so he wouldn't fall into the pit.

"Why aren't you fighting back?" Hux asked, pacing slowly onto the bridge. It only took his trained mind a moment to figure it out. "Is it the girl?"

Kylo didn't answer and he laughed. "You fell in love with her. A scavenger? I'm disappointed, Ren." His finger tightened on the trigger.

End it. I've got nothing else to live for.
