The First Order's Star Destroyer emerges through the far side of the galaxy, overshadowing the unfamiliar black planet of Obsidian below. The planet seems as if it's one whole solid black surface. In the middle, a single crack allows the planet-wide river of lava to flow. As the Destroyer descends to a hover, a single transports comes forth from the ship's hull.
The transport touches down on the landing-pad that leads to a mysterious black Monastery. Several Stormtroopers escort a hovering stretcher out of the transport. On it lies an unconscious Kylo Ren. As the stretcher glides it's way into the monastery, Ren's body shakes gently with the movement. His face is now interrupted by a deep scar reaching from his forehead to his chin, a wound he endured from his battle with Rey. General Hux follows at his side, unbalanced from the recent events.
Hux, the Troopers, and unconscious Ren, move into a room that is much larger than it seems. The shadows black out the outer edges to make its walls seem endless. They all stop, including the stretcher when a handful of individuals appear from the vast darkness. Their appearance is similar to that of a Knight in Shining Armor; one of all black. They immediately tend to Kylo, whisking him away into the darkness. The Trooper's also disappear, leaving just Hux to himself. But he's not alone.
Hux is startled by a distant sound. His body freezes up and he stands up straight. His eyes fall to the floor as something moves closer from the opposite side of the room. The air becomes tighter as it approaches.
Supreme Leader Snoke's seven foot figure emerges from the vast darkness. His skin is pale and broken and his face is full of scars from his past. His long fingers are cringe worthy and he moves at a slithering pace.
Hux is completely unsettled by the presence. Beads of sweat form above his brow. He takes a big gulp. He's simply lost confidence in himself and the plan after the recent events that have taken place.
"The time is closing for Kylo Ren to complete his training." Snoke speaks in his malicious yet soothing voice.
"I managed to get him off Starkiller just in time, Supreme Leader. But he was greatly injured."
"Ren will be fine."
"He will complete his mission in time, Supreme Leader. I am sure... In the meantime, how do you suggest we move forward?" Hux responds, shakily.
"We continue with our original plan. Until Ren can destroy the Last Jedi, we must finish what we started… Finish the Resistance, and the remaining Republic."
Hux starts to turn away but Snoke adds one last thing, "And, don't forget the General. We must not let Kylo Ren become seduced to the light side. Eliminate the last remaining factor. Royalty isn't meant to last forever."
"Yes, Supreme Leader. Right away." Hux is relieved to walk away in one piece. He sighs deeply. Behind him, Snoke slithers back into darkness.
