"Here we go again, after that cliffhanger of the last chapter I can safely say this is the last part of that battle before we move forward please enjoy!"

Chapter 27: Pushing Forward

Ranza smirked behind her mask as her lightsaber pierced Evelyn's hand that tried to stop the attack and it was a beautiful sight seeing the last Kenobi on her knees.

"So ends the line of Kenobi" Ranza chuckled.

All of a sudden Evelyn slowly looked up and she had a look of anger as she looked up at her enemy. "Not today.." Evelyn then grunted as she pushed her hand forward and that's when Ranza realised she did not pierce Evelyn's chest, she actually blocked the attack with her hand and Ranza saw her saber struggle to pierce through her enemy's hand.

"That's impossible..." Poe whispered as he looked on from the cockpit of the Tempest with Finn and they were just in shock at what they were witnessing.

Ranza gritted her teeth as she tried to push forward but Evelyn just continued to push back as she got to her feet, Finn and Poe looked on in absolute shock as they never saw anything like this in their entire life.

"Your right, my grandfather failed to save Rey's grandfather...but I am a Kenobi...and I will not allow another Skywalker to fall!" Evelyn stated and then screamed as she pushed back sending a shock wave making Ranza fly a few feet away.

The Knights decided to rush Evelyn determined to kill her but all she did throw her hand back at them freezing them where they stood and after a few moments she slowly turned to the knights and delivered a big Force Push sending them over the Tempest and crashing in to the sand on the other side of her ship.

Ranza quickly got up from the sand looking at Kenobi who slowly turned back around to face her.

"Looks like you have more skill then I thought, still it wont save you!" Ranza charged forward and so did Evelyn and she used the force bringing her lightsaber back to her just in time as Ranza jumped into the air bringing her lightsaber down only for it to be blocked and the two entered another saber lock.

"You have to do better then my darling" Evelyn mocked.

"You dare mock me! A Knight Of Ren!" Ranza's voice was full of anger and she pushed back escaping the saber lock and she slashed at Evelyn but all her foe did was defend, ducked and side stepped and soon they clashed lightsabers again.

Javik woke up gasping for air after taking a blaster shot to his chest and he quickly sat up and saw Evelyn going on the offensive with Ranza, he had no idea how Evelyn managed to keep going but he quickly turned to Jaylah in the distance who was on the ground in a pool of her blood.

"Jaylah!" Javik shouted ignoring the pain in his chest quickly got up and rushed to her as Evelyn and Ranza continued their fight, Javik soon came to Jaylah and fell to his knees looking down at her. She wasnt moving and there was no sign of life in her.

"No.." Javik whispered and soon Evelyn kicked Ranza back then looked over her shoulder back at Javik. "GET ON THE SHIP! GET THE TEMPEST TO TAKE OFF!".

Javik quickly looked back at Evelyn "THE SHIP'S STILL DAMAGED!".

"JUST DO IT!" Evelyn argued as she turned back to Ranza and blocked her attack once again. Having no choice Javik picked up Jaylah in his arms and rushed to the ramp of the Tempest and quickly took Jaylah inside.

"Finn!, Poe! Get the Tempest in the air now!" Javik radioed as he took Jaylah to medical and in the cockpit Finn and Poe quickly went to work and activated the ships systems at the helm of the ship.

"This ship still needs repairs" Finn pulled a few levers starting up the engines.

"It should be enough to get us to Moraband" Poe stated as he quickly pressed a few buttons and switches.

Back outside Evelyn was throw right into the side of the Engineer's transport and her back hit metal causing her to grunt as she fell to her knees but she quickly looked up to saw Ranza launch a container right at her, Evelyn jumped high avoiding the container and backflipped on to the top of the transport looking down at Ranza in the distance.

"Looks like you have a few tricks up your sleeve, but it will not change anything" Ranza mocked as she force pushed a container up at Evelyn only for her enemy to send it away from her and it crashed back on to the sands.

Evelyn pointed her lightsaber at Ranza as she remained on the transport "Stand down, before it is too late".

Ranza just chuckled as she looked up at Evelyn. "Your over confidence will be your downfall".

All of a sudden Evelyn senses flared up and she turned and sliced a projectile coming her way and she quickly flipped off the transport as Ranza force pushed an explosive container towards the transport but Evelyn managed to jump to a safe distance as the transport exploded behind Evelyn as she slowly stood to her feet looking at Ranza.

"For a Knight of Ren your not very good at your job, seems like Kylo Ren didnt teach you all you need to know" Evelyn smirked.

Ranza then pointed her lightsaber at Evelyn. "Dont insult me Jedi, once I bring Kylo Ren your head I will earn his favor!".

"Aiming to please I guess, although you have failed to impress me. You failed to kill us the first time and you are even having trouble killing me right now, why dont you stop trying to hit me and hit me" Evelyn mocked.

Ranza growled and shot her hand out sending force lightning towards Evelyn but all she did was put her lightsaber out in front of her and the lightning absorbed into the saber itself as Evelyn took a cautious stance.

"No more games!" Ranza shouted and force dashed at Evelyn and the two entered another duel and this time Ranza was going at lightning speed trying to kill Evelyn. The two continued to go back and forth and there was no sign of Ranza slowing down and Evelyn knew she was well trained in lightsaber combat pulling all kinds of moves.

Evelyn was pushed back but her defence skills were the ones of a Jedi Master however Ranza's anger only made her attacks faster against Evelyn and she had to admit, Ranza was possibly faster then Kylo Ren.

Back on the Tempest Javik had finally put Jaylah on a Medical bed and suddenly she started gasping for air as she tried to sit up.

"Jaylah stay calm, you've been injured" Javik stated as he forced her back down and in the cockpit Poe and Finn had finally got the ship ready for take off and soon the engines started to roar as the ship's power began to build.

Back outside Ranza looked back at The Tempest and thats when she realised Evelyn was just stalling giving the crew time to escape, she quickly turned back and blocked Evelyn's attack and then kicked her back sending her skidding across the sand.

"I heard Obi Wan was a pain in the ass, looks like you inherited it!" Ranza then hit a switch on her saber and her lightsaber expanded creating a circle of metal around her saber and suddenly her single lightsaber became a double ended lightsaber, Evelyn knew she had to be extremely careful as she now had to adapt to this new tactic.

"Your grandfather's master was killed by this type of saber, lets see if fate can repeat itself" Ranza mocked and all of a sudden her double ended lightsaber started to spin at fast speed and Evelyn's eyes widened seeing this type of lightsaber.

"I will be sure to let Skywalker know that your death was her fault" Ranza then charged at Evelyn with her saber spinning and she attempted to strike her foe again, the attacks were fast and hard and despite Evelyn's skills to defend there were times when Ranza would attack on multiple side, when Ranza pulled back her saber to attack she would spin the saber trying to throw Evelyn off balance.

The new tactic seemed to work on Ranza's side as she was able to press the attack and not allow Evelyn to hit back, her foe blocked, ducked and side stepped avoiding the spinning lightsaber and Evelyn really had trouble trying to find an opening but to her this was only a battle of defence, all she needed was to keep Ranza busy until The Tempest was up in the air.

Evelyn continued to defend and soon she countered attacked and the two entered another duel lock and Evelyn looked right into the slits of Ranza's mask and she could see glowing yellow and red eyes behind them.

"Truly a child of Kenobi, tell me something if it came to it would you be able to kill your lover if she turned to the Dark Side...would you kill Leia's precious niece? What would she say about?" Ranza mocked.

Evelyn gritted her teeth as she tried to push back but Ranza chuckled again "I sense fear...its delicious. I can only imagine you cutting down Skywalker, I am almost tempted to let you live just to see it happen".

Ranza then pushed back against Evelyn but to her shock she couldn't push her back, all she saw was Evelyn looking right into the slits of her mask, suddenly Evelyn started pushing back gritting her teeth and then screamed as she kicked Ranza back followed by a force push sending her foe sliding across the sand and once again the two looked at each other still maintaining their defensive stances.

"Rey will fall and you will have failed the only family you ever had, you will be alone like you were as a child when your parents died". Ranza continued to mock Evelyn but all Evelyn did was chuckle which caught Ranza off guard.

"What could possibly be funny?" Ranza questioned keeping her defensive stance.

Evelyn slowly left her defensive stance and deactivated her lightsaber and looked right at Ranza. "You dived into my mind, your right there are things I fear...but I also dived into yours when you searched mine".

"I saw fear in you too, you are afraid of being rejected". Evelyn saw Ranza grip her lightsaber tighter.

"You have trained and trained determined to gain Kylo Ren's favour so you can be by his side, but you fear that you will fail him and he will cast you aside" Evelyn calmly spoke as her eyes pierced Ranza's.

Ranza growled in anger "You know nothing of me Jedi!".

"I know enough that you will fail, I feel the doubt within you" Evelyn stated.

Ranza's anger consumed her entire body "What I feel is the desire to bring your head to my Master."

Evelyn took in a slow bit of air as she looked at Ranza. "Then do it, strike me down. Complete your mission and take your place at Kylo Ren's side".

Ranza and Evelyn looked at each other and the seconds felt like minutes and soon Evelyn spoke one more time "You will not kill me...".

That statement sent Ranza over the edge and she charged forward screaming spinning her light saber and all Evelyn did was close her eyes as she just stood there, after a few seconds Ranza jumped into the air and slashed her lightsaber down.

Only the lightsaber did not hit Evelyn, niether did Ranza land back on the ground.

Ranza Ren was frozen stiff in the air and she looked down at Evelyn who slowly opened her eyes seeing the Knights Of Ren coming from around the ship charging towards her with their weapons but she slowly looked up to Ranza above her.

"You are right, I do have fear but I know something stronger then fear...far stronger, the Force" Evelyn spoke in a very calm and strong tone and suddenly the Tempest started lifting up into the air with its ramp still extended.

"Let me show you how strong it is..." Evelyn frowned at Ranza and all of a sudden she closed her eyes and balled her fists. Ranza Ren suddenly saw the containers around them started to dent and explode under pressure and things were flying all over the place and thats when she felt severe pressure on her body and her mask started to crack and she could not escape from the grasp of Evelyn.

The Knights Of Ren came closer and Evelyn took a sharp breath causing a force to push the Knights back but they tried to fight back struggling to take a step forward as it felt like a strong wind stopping them from coming closer.

Evelyn's breathing got heavier as she maintained then she threw her arms out to her side gaining more power and the sand underneath her feet and engulfed her and Ranza and as she achieved absolute focus and in that moment she could feel something far far away.

-Moraband-

Rey was still knocked out from the fall into the huge ditch and as she lay there she felt something cover her entire body, something warm and it made her tingle as she could feel something powerful embrace her.

Her breathing got quicker as she lay there unconscious in the darkness and after a few intense moments of feeling this power she slowly opened her eyes looking up at hole she fell in from the surface and its light hit her, the power she felt was something she never felt. What it did to her body was uncontrollable and deep down she knew what it was.

"Evelyn...I feel you" Rey whispered as she remained on the ground looking up at the light.

-Unknown Planet-

Evelyn took a deep breath as she felt a connection to Rey and she could feel her in a cold dark place, something she didnt deserve to be.

"I feel you...get up...get up Rey..." Evelyn whispered keeping her eyes closed as her power continued to grow.

-Moraband-

Rey heard Evelyn's voice telling her to get up, her body ached from the fall but she refused to allow this to be her tomb. Taking a deep breath she rolled to her front planting her hand and knee on the solid ground, gritting her teeth she pushed herself up as her body screamed in agony and as she lifted herself up she looked to the distance and saw a path leading off into the abyss but she also saw another path past the gap.

"Get up...get up..GET UP!" Rey shouted and pushed herself off the ground and ran as fast as she could towards the gap and taking a deep breath she ran at top speed and jumped across the gap, time slowed down in this moment as Rey could still feel Evelyn but soon the connection vanished and time flowed again and she managed to get to the other side landing hard on the ground.

-Unknown Location-

Evelyn could feel Rey get up and push forward but her connection was cut as she sensed the Knights Of Ren slowly pushing through the sand around her, gritting her teeth maintaining focus Evelyn brought her hands close to her chest and as the Knights pushed through she suddenly screamed sending out a massive shockwave sending Ranza, the Knights, containers and even the engineer's transport in serperate directions.

The Tempest was even pushed back slight from the force of the shockwave but it was hardly effected, opening her eyes Evelyn saw she sent her foes a good distance away giving her the chance to escape.

Looking up at the Tempest flying low towards her Evelyn took one more glance at Ranza and she saw her raise her head revealing a part of her mask had been damaged and the right side of her face was revealed, after a few seconds Evelyn then jumped high with the Force and landed on the ramp and quickly rushed inside with the ramp lifting up and closing.

Getting back to her feet with the Knights Ranza Ren watched on seeing the Tempest fly into space, all Ranza did was chuckle seeing it continue its journey.

The Tempest flew at high speed and despite its damaged state it was repaired enough to get the crew to where they needed to be, but the question was what would happen after that. The ship finally made it back into space flying away from the planet and after a few mometns it shot to lightspeed resuming its mission.

-Moraband-

Rey grunted as she pushed herself up from the ground after making it across the gap, her Jedi Training robes were dirty, her face had slight patches of dirt and her long hair was starting to get messy from her experience on Moraband but deep down she refused to give up.

"Rey...the galaxy depends on you..." Rey heard her Luke's voice in her head encouraging her to keep going, finally standing to her feet and she reached her hand back and her lightsaber flew right into her hand and she ignited it allowing the yellow saber to light the area and in the distance she saw another path leading into darkness.

"Father, I will not fail you" Rey whispered as she held her lightsaber out and with a deep breath she continued her journey determined to get to the Temple.

Little did she know that on the other side of the gap she jumped from was a hooded figure watching Rey vanish into the darkness.

"You are possibly wondering why the Knights are being so easily beaten? Well I can say this is not their full potential and there is a hint of this as you see Ranza chuckle watching The Tempest leave, next chapter will mostly focus on Rey...there will be a lot of surprises in that chapter
