Chapter 34: Beliefs

Evelyn with a hood over her head and her scarf covering her nose and mouth was slowly walking up a steep hill making sure not to lose her footing on the sand and also trying to keep her balance as strong wind hit her from all directions, on her back was BD-1 keeping himself covered as much as possible and he let off a quiet beep with was almost in a sad tone.

"Dont worry BD, I know this place has bad memories for you..." Evelyn came to a stop and caught her breath for a few seconds. "As soon as we get Rey we can leave and never look back".

She then looked down the hill and saw Poe and Finn slowly coming up the hill towards her, everyone was sweating but there was no sign of them slowling down or giving up. BD beeped a few more times and Evelyn looked over her shoulder chuckling. "Yeah Rey's a Jedi..well training to be one".

BD let off a few more beeps as Evelyn turned and resumed her climb up the hill. "Me? It's kind of yes and no...my grandfather was a Jedi Master, I was never trained...kind of learnt things a bit quicker then useual...have you heard of Obi Wan Kenobi? well I'm his grand daugter".

The little droid beep a few more times at quicker tones and Evelyn just chuckled. "I'm not too old to learn to be a Jedi droid, never too late to learn something new".

She then looked back down the hill "You guys ok!?"

Finn sighed and came to a stop looking up to Evelyn in the distance. "You sure this is the easiest way to the Temple!?".

"According to BD!" Evelyn shouted down.

Poe finally walked past Finn looking up to Evelyn "Get that little droid to check again...easy is not supposed to make us sweat".

Evelyn rolled her eyes and looked to BD. "Men...right BD?" The droid beeped and she turned and continued her climb up the hill with Finn and Poe following behind.

After a good few minutes Evelyn finally made it to the top of the large hill and she looked on to the distance seeing the Sith Temple, her heart raced as she looked to it and in her mind she was full of worry knowing Rey was near it.

Suddenly Evelyn felt severe pain in her mind and she grunted then fell to one knee placing on hand on her forehead.

BD came over Evelyn's shoulder looking at her beeping a few times and soon Evelyn was able to stand back up. "I'm fine BD, something just happened...though I cant figure out what".

She then turned looking behind her and both Finn and Poe finally caught up and they took a deep breath of relief. Finn was the first to collect his breath and he came by Evelyn and looked to the Temple.

"Is Rey near that Temple yet?" Finn asked as he looked on and Evelyn turned to look at the Temple also. "I dont know, I cant sense her".

Poe frowned in confusion "You cant sense her?" He then walked to the other side of her and then looked at the Temple in the distance. "I thought Jedi can sense each other, why cant you sense her?".

"I dont know, this planet must be cutting off my connection to her...I sense great evil, the voices I hear..." She then lowered her head and closed her eyes. "They are trying to get into my head...".

Finn looked at her placing his hand on her shoulder "You gonna be ok?".

Evelyn looked to Finn giving him a nod. "Yeah, the sooner we get to Rey the better" She then looked over to shoulder to the little drioid on her shoulder. "BD".

The little droid beeped and projected a hologram of their current location right in front of them showing multiple paths towards the Temple only this time they were more clearer then before.

Poe came closer to the hologram checking the choices. "Looks like there is a path leading into a secret area under the Temple, maybe thats our best bet".

"I dont know I say we take the simpler path, it leads right towards the entrance into the Temple" Finn suggested.

Poe looked to Finn "For all we know that main entrance is destroyed" Then they both looked to Evelyn. "What do you think?" Poe asked.

Evelyn looked at both Finn and Poe before turning her attention to the hologram, seeing they both had two options she suspected taking one path would be stupid for all they know they could miss Rey. After thinking for a while she finally made her decision.

"We'll take both" She looked at both at her friends. "You guys take the secret passage with BD while I take the main entrance".

Finn frowned "What? No thats too risky you said you were in danger to this place".

"I know that but the quicker we move the better, we can cover more ground quicker this way and with luck we can find Rey quicker" Evelyn explained.

Poe sighed "Still we dont know whats out there, like you said me and Poe are pretty much safe but you are exposed to this place. How are you gonna make it to the Temple without a guide, this place has paths like a maze".

Evelyn looked to BD on her shoulder and the droid beeped a few times, giving him a nod she placed her hand on Finn's shoulder and the droid rushed down her arm and on to Finn's shoulder.

"I'll use the force to guide me, just get to that secret entrance and find her" Evelyn spoke in a soft voice to Poe and he really did not like the idea of leaving Evelyn to fend for herself.

"Evie..." Poe spoke but she placed both her hands on his shoulders cutting him off "Poe, I will be ok...all that matters is finding Rey. Without her we cant win this war...do it for me..".

Poe lowered his head and soon took a deep breath not wanting to leave her but in all the times he knew her there was no way he was gonna talk her out of anything she decided to do, he never won an argument against her.

Looking up to Finn behind Evelyn he saw his friend waiting for his answer, after a few moments he looked to Evelyn. "Alright" He then suddenly gripped her arms hard. "You better come back".

Evelyn nodded "I will, just get there as quick as you can. I will meet you there".

Poe finally let go of her and Evelyn let go of her shoulders and the two looked to Finn. "Lets get going Finn, Evelyn is not gonna change her mind".

Finn looked to BD on his shoulder "Can you guarantee we can get to that hidden entrance".

BD-1 beeped a few times confirming he knew the best way to go and then Poe walked past Finn. "Lets go buddy quicker we get this done the better".

Finn and Evelyn watched Poe go into the direction of the hidden entrance and as soon as he was out of earshot Finn lowered his head taking a deep breath. "He's here isnt he, thats why you dont us to come with you".

Evelyn then looked to the Temple knowing who Finn was referring to. "Yes...Kylo Ren is there".

Finn sighed "You dont have to do this alone..."

"No there is something I must do..." Evelyn continued to look to the Temple as Finn came closer to her. "Evie?".

Evelyn took a deep breath as she lowered her head and closed her eyes. "I have been foolish not to see what history has proven over...and over again".

"Kylo Ren took Han Solo from us, killed Luke...and he nearly killed his mother...all because we believed he could turn back. But we were all wrong. The Ben I knew growing up is gone...and he's not coming back" Evelyn whispered.

"What are you saying?" Finn frowned.

Evelyn then looked to her friend. "If there can be no peaceful solution...if Ben has decided that this is what he is, then I must not allow more darkness to fall..on us or anyone else". Balling her fists she lowered her head closing her eyes feeling great pain within her knowing there may be only one way to end the suffering in her family's hearts.

She then slowly looked up to the Temple in the distance with eyes full of determination. "Kylo Ren must be destroyed".

Finn's eyes widened and gripped her arm as she looked on to the Temple. "Your gonna take him head on!?".

Evelyn turned her head to Finn "I am gonna give him one chance, one chance to come back with us. If he doesnt...only one of us will be standing".

"Evie...this is crazy.." Finn whispered a little worried.

She then turned her body and placed both her hands on his shoulders and looked deep into his eyes, she was calm and she gave a little smile of reassurance. "Go Finn, I know what I am doing...".

Finn lowered his head for a few seconds and soon he looked back up to her. "You better come back, we lost too many people already". Evelyn then gently pulled Finn in for a hug and he returned it and they tightly embraced.

"Find Rey...then come find me" Evelyn whispered and her eyes started to water knowing this may be the last time she will ever see her friends but she refused to let them get hurt, she always cared about others then herself. To her this was the only way.

-Hidden Passageway, rear of Temple-

In the darkess of the halls of the Sith Temple Kylo Ren slowly made his way through the empty passageway only with his lightsaber as a source of light, as he walked through the dark hall he saw encryptions on the walls around him. He saw symbols in the anicent language of the Sith.

He continued to walk as he read what was on the wall and soon he came to a symbol which he reconised, the prize he was after. On the wall showed a relic in the shape of a sphere which and right next to it was a image of an ancient sith reaching out for it as what looked like black smoke was coming from the Sith and into the relic itself and what it showed only confirmed it was the relic Kylo Ren was after.

"So this is it, my mission is at its half way point. Soon peace will be restored.." Kylo Ren spoke to himself and he then turned marching down the passageway taking him into the next area.

Taking a few steps in to the next area Kylo Ren saw he was in a massive hall and thats when he realised he finally made it into the heart of the Temple, his prize was inches away from his grasp.

Kylo Ren couldnt help but look at the massive hall and its contents, there were lines of statues spaced out in a row leading down the hall with some broken and some still intact.

As he slowly walked down the main hall with his lightsaber in hand he couldnt help but look at the statues of the old siths but there was one that stood out from the rest, standing there in full armor with his lightsaber by his side looking to the distance. Kylo Ren knew who it was, one of the ancient Sith who was the one who created the rule of two.

"Darth Bane...legend says you were buried here, but I am not here to seek the knowledge you have stored here. My buisness is something else" Kylo Ren mocked and then turned and headed down the hall to a secret entrance deep under the Temple where the relic was stored, somewhere which no living soul could touch but thanks to his knowledge of the force and the strength of the Dark Side Kylo Ren knew this would be no problem.

As he marched down the hall he suddenly felt a presence which made him come to a stop, he felt something powerful behind him something he thought was long gone. Slowly turning around he saw the one person he knew he killed, standing there in white robes looking right at him with a look of determination was his old master and uncle. Luke Skywalker.

"Luke Skywalker, seems like you still annoy me even in death" Kylo Ren stated.

"And you still the same scared boy that betrayed everything and everyone that loved you" Luke frowned.

Kylo Ren took a few slow steps forward to what he knew was an illusion. "You Skywalkers never understood, or maybe you didnt have the strength to do what was necessary to ensure ever lasting peace".

"And killing people is the answer" Luke questioned and Kylo Ren slowly turned back around taking a few steps away from this illusion.

"You were never as strong as Darth Vader, he knew of the sacrifices that needed to be done" Kylo Ren then slowly turned his head to his side. "I've seen my grandfather's memories from his helmet I salvaged".

"I saw you begging for help, unable to use your own strength to fight the darkness that claimed him. But my Grandfather knew what needed to be done...he knew the Jedi are just as much as a problem, they are not the heroes you seem to believe" Kylo Ren stated as he then turned back to look at his uncle.

"What about your cousin Rey? your adopted sister Evelyn? Ever thought about them?" Luke took a few steps forward to Kylo Ren.

"I wont deny I miss those days looking after Evelyn, but that was in the past...Evelyn and Rey...they mean nothing to me now" Kylo Ren gripped his lightsaber tighter in his hand.

"Lets say you do succeed" Luke started walking closer to his nephew. "Are you willing to throw away all that you had? If you succeed you will have nothing left...you keep following this path it will take you to an empty grave...".

"You have no idea what I have been through...what I must do" Kylo Ren tone was getting alot more quieter.

"Turn away from this, go back to your mother...face up to what you have done. There are people who can help you" Luke revealed and he took a few more steps to Kylo Ren until he was at arms length.

"Dont make the same mistakes my father did...the same mistakes I did, I said I failed you Ben and I know you dont accept it but this path will just destroy you." Luke then placed his cybernetic hand on Kylo Ren's shoulder.

"Go home...go back to being the person you once was..." Luke whispered and Kylo Ren looked at Luke's hand on his shoulder then all of a sudden Kylo Ren slashed his lightsaber right at Luke's arm slicing it in half, Luke screamed and staggered back and with lightning speed Kylo Ren did a three sixty spin and sliced his saber right across Luke's stomach making him fall to his knees screaming in agoney and Kylo Ren looked down at him with anger.

"That was always your mistake, never doing what was neccessary to win!. He then pointed his lightsaber right at Luke's face as his uncle looked up at him trying to control his breath from the pain.

"This is why Rey Skywalker will fail, this is why Evelyn Kenobi will fail...because the three of you are afraid to make the hard decisions!" Kylo Ren then screamed raising his lightsaber and striked down at Luke Skywalker only for him to turn into smoke once Kylo Ren sliced him in half.

Anger consumed Kylo Ren of the reminder of where he came from, he refused to follow the same path of the Skywalkers. Deep down he knew this was the right path he was taking, if his family wasnt going to do what was needed then he would gladly take on the responsibility alone.

He quickly turned marching down the main hall to a secret passage leading to a hidden level underneath the hall, Kylo Ren was full of determination knowing if true Peace was to be gained then he must sacrifice everything in order to bring it to the galaxy.

"Evelyn will no longer hesitate to kill Kylo Ren if no options are left, Kylo Ren himself believes his way of peace is the only true path. Things are only gonna get worse. And there is still one question remaining...where is Rey?
