(Forest)
(Kylo's View)
(20 Minutes Later)
"Alright Ben. We're almost there, so be on guard." Rey informs me as we trek through the drenched forest as a storm pours over us. I do not answer Rey with any words nor a nod. I keep quiet, trying to think of a way to save Keisa without attacking her. Rey pokes me on the shoulder, asking the same question again. I glance at her before returning my attention to our path. "I know Rey. I rather not talk now." I whisper, clutching my lightsaber's hilt as we reach the end of the forest path when I push a tree limb out of the way. When I do, thunder crashes while my eye catches an odd cave carved on a ledge of the mountain that stands before us. However, that's not the only thing that stands on that ledge. As Rey dashes to my side, we both spot Keisa's figure in front of the cave's entrance, lightsabers unsheathed.
"Keisa!" I shout, dashing to my possessed daughter. Rey screams for me to stop, but I ignore her plea and leap to the ledge. Keisa grins, opening her midnight black eyes to me. I step back, not knowing what to say or do now. Keisa, right at that moment, Force Pushes me off the ledge. I collide onto Rey, causing both of us to slam our bodies onto the wet ground. We scramble to our feet, watching Keisa leap off the ledge, landing a good couple yards in front of us. "Well well...You've come after all." Keisa whispers evilly. Tears form in my eyes as I watch my precious daughter turn to Rey. It's not that she turned to Rey that's tearing me apart. It's that nothing in her, from what I can sense, told me that she still resides in her own body. She could be truly gone. Snoke, from Keisa's body, senses my fear. He begins to chuckle. "My former apprentice...still too dependent on your child. No true father would be dependent on their child. They are the master of their child, nothing less."
"You're wrong." I snap back. "I am not dependent on Keisa, nor is Keisa dependent on me. I'm here to help her, like a true father would. You have no right to tell me that I'm not a "true father," so leave Keisa be." I snap. Keisa chuckles. "You seriously think that I would willingly depart from your daughter's body? You're some foolish child to think that."
"Who said that I thought that Snoke?" I sneer back. "I never thought or said that. It's an order from the new Supreme Leader...but I know that you won't listen to me, so there's no use to talk. Talk is cheap." I say, stepping back. Keisa shakes her head. "But yet you won't fight me." Keisa hums. My eyes snap open. Keisa chuckles again. "You're surprised that I knew that. Kylo Ren, I can see your mind. I can feel the conflict within you. You don't know what to do to save your child. You're weak."
"I am not weak, but I won't fight you. Keisa's still in there, so I will not fight. I will not risk the death of my daughter." I snap, a single tear shedded all the while. Keisa smirks, but as she opens her mouth to speak, Rey suddenly charges at Keisa. "REY, NO!" I boom, reaching out to Force Pull her away, but the Force shields her from my attempt. Keisa blocks Rey's attack.
"Don't you dare get in my way foolish child!" Keisa roars, kicking Rey. She falls to the ground, but flips to her feet, blocking Keisa's barrage of fierce and swift strikes. I, on the other hand, don't move. I am frozen. I am broken inside, watching the most precious thing in the world go against the only person that understands the conflict inside of me. The fight continues with Keisa increasing her speed and strength, which begins to overwhelm Rey. Rey, as she blocks, glances at me a couple times with fear-filled eyes. As she looks at me one more time, Keisa slams her against a tree as Rey resists Keisa's lightsaber to slit her throat with her own lightsaber.
That's when something happens to me that I'd never expect.
Instincts take over.
I scream for Keisa to stop, unsheathing my lightsaber. Keisa steps back at my words, not from shock though, and turns around slowly. With a spin of her lightsaber, she charges to me. At that instant, Keisa's foot suddenly jerks, causing Keisa to trip. This could only mean one thing.
Keisa's trying to take control. However, Keisa's body goes back to the control of Snoke and flips off her hands that touch the floor, lands on her feet and swings her lightsaber to mine. I block. Keisa keeps the intensity up as we clash our lightsabers together. Before long, Keisa and I clash, and then lock, our lightsabers together, beginning a strength match. At that moment, Keisa drops one of her lightsabers, grabs my right wrist before she, or Snoke I should say, cuts my hand clean off. I howl in pain, stumble back, trip over my feet and hiss in pain, clutching my rapidly bleeding arm.
"Look at me." She orders firmly after walking to me, kicking me so that my body is facing her. Keisa spins her lightsaber, lifts it up and turns it so that the tip is pointed downwards. I shut my eyes tight, ready to meet my demise. Rey screams. The red tint of the lightsaber appears from the darkness of my closed eyes, but no pain comes. I open my eyes, seeing Keisa's lightsaber centimeters away from my chest. Her body is shaking. Tears roll down her face, but most importantly, her eyes begin to come back to their beautiful brown, then midnight black, and then brown again. Keisa chucks her lightsabers backwards before jerking her hands to chest.
That's when she begins to electrocute herself.
"KEISA NO!" I boom, dashing to her, but when I reach her, she crumbles onto the wet ground. I rush to her and check her vital signs.
They were fine. And even better, I feel Snoke's presence leave Keisa from the Force.
"Keisa...You...did it. I whisper out, taking her into my arms. Rey runs to me. "Ben?! She-?!" She begins to ask if Keisa's alright. I nod. "Yes. Her vital signs are fine, and even better, Snoke's out of her. She won this fight, but Rey. I need to get back to the First Order base. I need Keisa to be watched over...so..." I whisper, standing up with Keisa in my arms. "I'll see you soon."
