Uhh ohhh some of you won't be happy with this one lol :) Thank you for all the reviews and favorites and follows! It really means a lot to me! Let me know what you think please :)
Ivenka saw nothing but black and her ears were ringing. Something warm trickled down her forehead. She reached up to touch it and winced at the incredibly sharp pain that radiated through her skull. Her vision slowly started fading back in. Her fingers came away coated in blood. Something rapidly approached her. Looking forward blearily, she saw the blurry form of Kylo kneeling in front of her. He was saying something but she couldn't make it out. Panic was evident over his features and he picked her up and cradled her in his lap.
Ivenka started to cry. "Kylo? Kylo I can't hear anything." The dull ringing was almost taking over her senses and the pain was overwhelming.
He picked her up in his arms and rushed out of the room. "Can you hear me?" He tested the force bond as he hurried through the halls.
Stormtroopers were dashing here and there. Something was happening. They spoke to each other in panicked voices.
"Yes. I can hear you. It hurts, Kylo. Like really bad." Tears dripped from her eyes.
He could feel her pain and panic through the bond. "Don't try to heal yourself. You will over exert your mind. I'm going to help you. I'm going to get you somewhere safe."
An order was issued over the intercoms, "All troops report to the loading bay immediately and prepare for combat."
Kylo narrowed his eyes at the announcement and clutched Ivenka closer to his chest. He had to go to the loading bay to get a ship. It was imperative to leave and regroup before someone found the massacred body of the former Supreme Leader. Somehow he had the feeling that the other captains would not be so forgiving of his successful coup at this time. Kylo had to calculate his next moves and get Ivenka some help before he moved any further with his plans.
A squadron of Stormtroopers hurried past them without so much as giving Kylo and Ivenka a backwards glance. Maybe they didn't recognize him without his helmet. Or maybe whatever was happening was worse than expected.
"What's happening, Kylo? What's going on?"
He swallowed, turning left towards his destination. "I don't know. I've got you."
Laser bullets from blasters were blowing holes through walls. There was shouting and crying from all directions. Bodies were scattered over the floor. A large ship sat in the loading bay. It was a Corellian. It was the Millennium Falcon.
Kylo Ren started to sweat, ducking behind a large stack of crates and gently placing Ivenka onto the floor. "It's the Resistance." Kylo ripped off a piece of his cape and pressed it to Ivenka's still bleeding head wound.
She almost shrieked in pain at the pressure he was applying but managed to choke it back. "What are we going to do? Where are we going to go?"
Kylo looked around the large room, spotting a Tai Fighter in one of the unoccupied corners. He hadn't flown by himself in quite some time but he was sure he could manage it. He had to. "Anywhere but here."
"Ben Solo."
Kylo whipped his head over his right shoulder at the sound of the enraged female voice. It was the girl from Jakku. Rey.
Pulling Ivenka back into his arms, he glared up at the sight of the girl. She was wearing a pale cream colored suit with boots that strapped up to her knees. Her skin was less tan than before but it looked like she had gained a little more muscle mass than the last time he had seen her in the snowy woods.
He glared at her. "Leave. You do not want to engage me. You will lose."
Her fingers were tight on her light saber. The electrically light blue blade burst forth and sizzled in the air. She glared right back at him but glanced at the quickly paling girl in his lap. "Who is she?"
Kylo almost snarled. "She is mine and she is none of your concern!"
Rey softened her look of hatred and directed her attention to Ivenka. The blood was still dribbling down the side of her face and was now pooling in the hollow of her collarbone and in the valley between her breasts. "Are you okay? Do you need my assistance? I can help you."
Ivenka looked at her blankly, not hearing the questions directed towards her, instead looking back and forth between the two with pained confusion. She was losing too much blood. Her vision was starting to go spotty.
Rey's protective instincts whirred to life. If she didn't answer that must mean she was afraid to. Rey took this as a sign that she was being held here against her will. Quickly pointing her saber at Kylo's neck, she stood off in front of him. "Let go of her."
Kylo glared his hatred at her, pressing his hand against the quickly dampening bunch of fabric he held to Ivenka's forehead. "You are making a mistake."
Another figure jumped next to her as they crowded behind the stack of crates. It was the traitor FN-2187. "Rey, we've gotta get out of here! He's already dead!" The man was sweating nervously and looked surprised when he saw she had her saber out and who it was pointed at. "Oh shit. It's you!" He was out of breath and holding a blaster tightly in his grip.
"Get. Up," Rey demanded Kylo darkly.
Ivenka fell limp in his grip, succumbing to darkness.
"Ivenka? Ivenka!" Kylo yelled to her through their force bond but he already knew she was unconscious. He felt her absence in his mind. The anger was coming back. Kylo softly laid her on the floor before grabbing his lightsaber from his belt and turning it on, the crackling red blade slicing against Rey's blue one. "You stupid girl! I don't have time for this right now!"
Rey blocked his hit before countering with her own. They sliced and jabbed at each other, jumping over boxes and dodging blaster bullets flying in their direction. Over a dozen Resistance fighters were still attacking Stormtroopers as they slowly were making their way back onto the Falcon. Rey and Kylo matched each other hit for hit over and over again.
Rey lifted her free hand, pushing a box in his path using the force. She had been working on her abilities with Luke Skywalker but they were no where near the level of Kylo Ren's new found mastery. Kylo effortlessly blocked it without lifting a finger and it crashed into a wall fifty feet back. Shock was evident over Rey's soft features at the strength of the move but she was determined to continue her fight.
Kylo backed her into a wall, pressing his saber against her own and trying to push it into her face. He growled. "You will not best me again."
Rey glanced at the scar she had left over his face. She steeled her jaw. "I have been training since we last met. Training to avenge your father."
Yelling, he pushed the saber closer to her skin. "You are a fool and I don't care for your little revenge mission." The bottom half of his saber sliced into her shoulder and she screamed.
"You're a monster!" She cried as she pushed back and kept him from amputating her arm.
"Rey! Let's go!" Finn yelled desperately from all the way across the room. The ship was about to take off.
They both looked over at Finn. Kylo screamed. In Finn's arms lay Ivenka and he was quickly making his way towards the Falcon. Kylo pulled his saber away from Rey, narrowly dodging an attack from her newly freed weapon. They both ran towards the ship, Kylo yelling in enragement.
Ivenka was slowly waking up. She blearily looked around and tried to lift her head. "Kylo?" Her soft voice cracked as she spoke. She looked down at the arms holding her and knew that these were not arms that she knew. Looking up, she spotted Finn's face and squirmed in his grip. "Put me down! Please put me down!" She tried to call the force to her to knock him down but her mind was exhausted and unable to hold onto much at all.
Finn held tight but his eyes wavered. "Rey? Rey what do I do?"
Rey and Kylo were almost there. Kylo felt Ivenka's rapidly growing fear and he started to panic. He tried to trip Rey but she dodged him and continued forward.
"Kylo! KYLO!" Ivenka screamed, elbowing Finn in the gut and crying as he dropped her roughly to the floor on instinct. She crawled on hands and knees towards him, tears streaming down her face.
Rey watched the scene with confusion, her legs pumping her forward and her hair streaming behind her as she ran. "Grab her, Finn! Get onto the ship!"
Finn did as he was instructed. He gathered the frantic girl into his arms and boarded the Falcon. Ivenka clawed his skin and tried to escape his grip. She held her hand out over his shoulder, locking eyes with Kylo and screaming. Finn ran up the ramp and the two disappeared inside.
"IVENKA!" Kylo screamed, the power of his rage radiating off of him. Doing the only thing he could think of, he grabbed Rey and held her to his chest. "TRAITOR! GIVE HER BACK TO ME OR YOU WILL NEVER SEE REY AGAIN!" The strength of his screams echoed throughout the large room.
Finn paused on the ramp, turning around with wide eyes.
Ivenka was scrambling in his grip and doing everything she could to escape but it wasn't working. "Please!" She was getting tired. Her efforts were at capacity and her body was slipping. Her vision was fading back out as her heart thumped in her chest.
Rey froze as Kylo's lightsaber grazed her neck. Her eyes flickered around the room, trying to figure out what to do. The Falcon was rumbling, about to take off. Another squadron of Stormtroopers jogged into the room, blasters shooting at the Falcon. Rey knew that if they got in too many shots the entire ship would be at risk and in turn, all of her companions would be at risk.
She made a quick decision. "Go! Finn leave! Get everyone out of here!"
Finn hesitated. "But-"
She cut him off. "Go now! I will be fine! I will make my way back!"
Kylo yelled, "YOU WILL REGRET THIS TRAITOR! MARK MY WORDS! I WILL KILL YOU AND EVERYONE YOU HOLD CLOSE! I WILL HUNT YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE GALAXY!"
Ivenka's head dropped limply onto Finn's shoulder. The ramp slowly pulled itself up before closing, blocking any view that Kylo had of her. The Stormtroopers continued to shoot at the ship but it wasn't long before the engines lit up and lifted the ship off of the ground. The Millennium Falcon disappeared into hyperspeed and was gone in the blink of an eye into the vacuum of space past the gravity lock.
She was gone. Ivenka was gone. His future child was gone.
Kylo turned off his lightsaber and slammed the butt of it against Rey's temple. She fell to the floor in an unconscious heap.
