Ezra, Kira, Ben, Leia, and Kyle surround the captured Marek Ren and Talon Ren. Marek currently has Ezra and Kyle's lightsaber blades at his throat, while Talon is recovering from being suddenly pushed to the ground by an unseen force. Kira moves toward Talon, and aims her lightsaber at the twi'lek's throat.
"Learn your lesson, kid?" Ezra asks.
"Frack off, old man!" Talon says.
"Guess not. Look, we're in a rush here, so do us all a favor and surrender." Ezra says.
"I will never surrender to you, Jedi scum!" Talon shouts.
"Then, I have failed you, Talon Ardana." Ezra says.
"Yes, you failed! That's what Jedi do best!" Talon says.
"I think you're right." Ezra says.
"Are you trying to trick us?" Marek asks.
"No tricks, Galen Marek. Just truth. The Jedi did fail. They were hypocrites. Weak. Inflexible. Isolated." Ezra says.
"So, you do have some sense after all. Still, it won't save you, old man." Talon says.
"I remember both of you. You were once padawans of my Jedi order, then, you left with Skywalker. Later, you fell to the dark side, and slaughtered your fellow students." Ezra says.
"That was my fault. I taught them the Sith knowledge that Snoke passed on to me. I led them to the dark side." Ben says.
"You were manipulated by the Sith. Yes, you fell. You did terrible things, but, it wasn't all your fault. You, like anyone else, made mistakes. Now, you know better. We can't change the past, no matter how much we want to. The force has given you a second chance, Ben Solo. Don't waste it." Ezra says.
"I won't." Ben says.
"Galen, Talon, I'm willing to give you a second chance as well. Turn away from Palpatine, and I'll train you to be the best force users you can be." Ezra says.
"You would train...us?" Marek asks.
"Yes, but you won't be Jedi. The days of the Jedi have come and gone. What I will do, is train you in the ways of the Bendu. You won't be Knights of Ren, but more like the Knights of Revan, who walked the path of balance." Ezra says.
"What do you know of balance?" Marek asks.
"Those who are balanced study all aspects of the force, but don't let themselves be drawn to either extreme. They maintain their true selves by not fully embracing the dark side, yet may call upon its power if needed. Preferably, those who walk this path avoid armed conflict, for what greater imbalance is there, than war? Ultimately, the force is neither good, nor evil, it simply is. Only our own choices determine who we are. If you make good choices, you will be a good person. If you make bad choices, you will be a bad person. Regardless of which aspect of the force you use." Ezra says.
"I have never heard teachings such as this." Talon says.
"That is surprising. It's a passage from the Book of Revan. At least the true version, instead of the heavily rewritten mockery used by your order, which contains altered historical records, and purely fictional teachings which have nothing to do with Revan or Bastila. Yet you still claim to serve them." Ezra says.
"You dare insult of our holy book? I curse you infidel! I call upon the power of the dark side!" Talon shouts. She fires force lightning at Ezra, who deflects it back to her with one of his sabers. Talon falls to the ground, overwhelmed by the pain, and stops her attack.
"So quick to anger. There was a time where you were a kind, loving child. Now, you're so filled with blind rage, that you have nothing else. I grieve for you, Talon." Ezra says.
"Spare me your words, Jedi! I will hear no more!" Talon says.
"What about you, Galen?" Ezra asks.
"You mock our holy book, and our masters! I will speak to you no longer, Jedi!" Marek answers.
"You'll have to kill us, Bridger! Or we will kill you! After we kill everyone else first, and force you to watch as I choke the life out of your pathetic daughter!" Talon shouts.
"I don't think so!" Ezra says. He suddenly force chokes Marek and Talon.
"Ezra, wait!" Leia says. Ezra releases Marek and Talon from his force choke.
"You're right, Leia. I'd rather not kill them, but taking them prisoner is a bad idea. They won't listen to me. The two children I knew are gone." Ezra says.
"You could knock them out. Leave them here." Leia says. Ezra considers Leia's request for a few seconds.
"Alright." Ezra says. With a wave of his hand, Marek and Talon fall into a deep sleep.
"How long will that last?" Kira asks.
"About fifteen minutes. We should get to our ships." Ezra says.
"Ezra's right. We need to go." Leia says.
"Do you mind if I tag along?" Kyle asks.
"Not at all, Kyle. We have room on the Falcon." Leia says.
"Thanks, Leia." Kyle says.
"It's settled, then. Let's get going." Leia says. Kyle heads toward the Falcon, while Leia observes as Ben approaches Kira. She says "make it quick, Ben."
"Got it." Ben says. He stops next to Kira.
"I'm glad you made the right choice. My father can help you." Kira says.
"I know that now. I was just too stubborn before." Ben says.
"I'm sorry." Kira says.
"For what?" Ben asks.
"The scar. Leaving you in the throne room. I should have taken your hand." Kira answers.
"I deserve the scar. It's a reminder." Ben says.
"A reminder? Of what?" Kira asks.
"The day I went too far." Ben answers.
"I forgive you." Kira says.
"No one's ever forgiven me before." Ben says.
"I think you're going to find that I'm not the only one who's willing to forgive you. Han's on the Falcon. He wants his son back." Kira says.
"After what I did, I don't deserve a family." Ben says.
"You have one anyway. You have me too." Kira says.
"What are we anyway?" Ben asks.
"Friends I suppose. I don't know what else to call it." Kira says.
"Friends, huh? Works for me." Ben says. Kira laughs.
"What?" Ben asks.
"You're Han's son alright." Kira says.
"I don't know whether to take that as a compliment, or an insult." Ben says.
"Compliment, of course." Kira says.
"Right. Look, I should get going. The general isn't the most patient person in the galaxy." Ben says. He takes his lightsaber from his belt, and offers it to Kira.
"Ben?" Kira asks.
"Nobody's going to let Kylo Ren have a weapon. They don't trust me. I'll probably end up in a holding cell anyway. It's what I deserve." Ben says.
"No, it's not. Don't focus on your regrets, Ben. It'll break you." Kira says.
"I'm already broken." Ben says.
"No, you're not. Not to me." Kira says.
"I don't deserve you." Ben says.
"You have me anyway. Now, go, be with your family." Kira says. She hesitantly accepts Ben's lightsaber, then, embraces him briefly.
"What was that for?" Ben asks.
"You looked like you needed it." Kira answers.
"Thank you." Ben says.
"Now, go. I'll see you later." Kira says. Ben nods, then turns away from Kira, and heads toward the Falcon.
Kira walks to the Ghost, where Ezra is waiting near the boarding ramp.
"He gave you his saber?" Ezra asks, noticing Ben's lightsaber on Kira's belt.
"He didn't think he should have a weapon." Kira answers.
"Probably a good idea. After all he's done, he's going to have to earn our trust." Ezra says.
"He knows that." Kira says.
"Good. I'm going to offer to train him, if Leia approves it." Ezra says.
"I don't know why she wouldn't." Kira says.
"He's Kylo Ren. Wanted for treason and murder, among other things." Ezra says.
"He was Kylo Ren." Kira says.
"Okay. Was Kylo Ren. Still, he has a lot to answer for." Ezra says.
"I know. So does Ben." Kira says.
"Glad to hear it. Now, let's get on board." Ezra says.
"Got it." Kira says. Ezra and Kira head up the boarding ramp.
Ben enters the common room of the Millennium Falcon, where Leia and Chewbacca are standing. Chewbacca stares at Ben.
"I'm unarmed. I gave my lightsaber to Kira." Ben says.
Chewbacca approaches Ben, and hesitates, before suddenly embracing him.
/Ben! I'm sorry I shot you. I was angry. I saw you kill Han. At least I thought you did./ Chewbacca says.
"I...got lost for a while, Chewie. I'm sorry." Ben says.
/You're here now. That's all that matters./ Chewbacca says. Ben separates from Chewbacca, and looks at his mother.
"Where is he?" Ben asks.
"Right here, Ben." Han says, as he enters the room. Ben looks at his father, and slowly approaches him. Ben reaches toward Han, only for his father to take his hand. Ben chokes back a sob.
"I...thought I…" Ben says.
"It's alright, son." Han says.
"I...I'm sorry." Ben says.
"I know, son. I know." Han says. Ben starts crying, and collapses to the floor. Han kneels next to his son, and embraces him. Leia watches as tears form in her eyes, then, feels a familiar hand on her shoulder.
"Luke…" Leia says.
"I couldn't save him, but she did." Luke says, as his force ghost appears next to Leia.
"Kira?" Leia asks.
"Ben never fully turned. He held on to a small piece of his true self. Then, he met Kira. Their bond helped him to break free of Snoke's hold over him. He started to care about Kira. That's how he turned back." Luke says.
"Because those who embrace the dark side only care about themselves and their own power." Leia says.
"Yes, Leia. You've got your son back. He's going to need your love and support." Luke says.
"He'll have it. Starting right now." Leia says. She approaches Ben and Han, and embraces both of them. Luke observes, with a smile on his face, then, vanishes.
