Han and Chewbacca are now outside with the other cantina patrons. They are watching the sky as the five planets of the Hosnian System are destroyed by Starkiller Base. Finn appears, and runs to Han in a panic.
"They actually did it." Finn says.
"Did what? You know something we don't?" Han asks.
"It's Starkiller Base, and you just saw what it can do." Finn answers.
"It's like the Death Star, all over again." Han says.
"Yeah. Where's Rey and Tobias?" Finn asks.
"They have been with me, discussing matters of great importance." Maz says, as she arrives with Tobias and Rey. Everyone takes notice of the lightsaber in Rey's hand.
"Where'd you get that?" Han asks.
"That… is a conversation for another time. Look!" Maz says. Everyone looks up, and sees TIE fighters flying overhead. The ships soon circle Maz's castle, and begin firing on it.
"I told you they'd find us! We need to run for it!" Finn says.
"Too late! We fight… or we die." Tobias says. He closes his eyes and seems in deep concentration.
"What are you doing? What's he doing?" Finn asks.
"Using the force I think." Rey answers.
"Oh. Does the force tell you anything?" Finn asks.
"He's here." Tobias answers.
"Who? Who's here?" Finn asks. Tobias opens his eyes, and looks at him.
"Kylo Ren. I'll fight him. The rest of you… run for it!" Tobias says. Rey puts a hand on his arm, and Tobias looks at her.
"You don't have to fight him alone." Rey says.
"No, Rey. You're not ready to face him." Tobias says.
"And you are?" Finn asks.
"Possibly." Tobias answers.
"You said he almost killed you last time. I think that… maybe you could use the help. You don't have to do this alone. For all you know, we might even win." Rey says.
She's right. I could use the help. She's not really ready for this, but there's no one else. What choice do I have? Tobias thinks.
"Okay. You can help. Just… follow my lead." Tobias says.
"You got it." Rey says.
A large, black shuttle lands nearby, and Kylo Ren emerges, followed by several stormtroopers. Kylo notices Tobias and the others with him.
So, you live. I see you have the droid and the traitor with you, as well as… Han Solo. As for the girl, who is she? Why is she here? Kylo thinks.
"Surround the castle. No one escapes." Kylo says.
The stormtroopers spread out, while Kylo approaches Tobias. Tobias steps forward, and approaches Kylo.
"So, no Knights of Ren this time?" Tobias asks.
"They are elsewhere. Now, give me the droid and the traitor." Kylo says.
"The only traitor here is you." Tobias says.
"Give me the droid!" Kylo shouts. Tobias takes his lightsaber from his belt, but doesn't switch it on.
"You'll have to go through me." Tobias says.
"And me!" Rey says, as she approaches and takes her place beside Tobias.
"Face it, kid. You screwed up. Big time." Han says.
"Han Solo. This doesn't concern you." Kylo says.
"Come on, Ben. Drop the saber, and come with us. It's time to go home. For all of us." Han says.
"You are nothing. The First Order is my home." Kylo says.
"Snoke is manipulating you. He's just using you for your power." Han says.
"You lie." Kylo says.
"He's telling the truth. You're just too stupid to listen." Tobias says.
"The time for talk is over! Give me the droid, or die where you stand!" Kylo shouts.
"Ain't gonna happen. I guess you'll just have to finish what you started. If you can." Tobias says. Kylo activates his lightsaber. Tobias and Rey do the same.
"I will end the Jedi once and for all!" Kylo says.
Kylo charges toward Tobias, and strikes aggressively. Tobias is able to block every attack, but is gradually pushed back due to Kylo's greater physical strength.
He's stronger and taller, but his rage makes him predictable. Hopefully this goes better than last time. I lost because I had to fight all of his Knights of Ren too. This time, it's just him. Tobias thinks.
As Kylo is focused on Tobias, Rey positions herself behind Kylo, and moves to attack him. However, Kylo seems to anticipate this, and suddenly knocks her back with a force push.
"You are a fool to follow him. You need a teacher. I will show you the way. Join me." Kylo says.
"I've heard of the things you've done! You're a monster!" Rey says.
"We will bring peace to the galaxy! The Republic is weak! Corrupt! Now, it is no more!" Kylo says.
"You really believe all that bantha shit?" Tobias asks.
"Snoke has shown me the true path! A path you rejected! You are weak, Tobias. Now, you die." Kylo says.
"The brother I knew would never say that. He told me that he would always protect me. So, I guess you're not really him, are you?" Tobias asks.
"You… are nothing." Kylo says.
"Then… I guess we have nothing more to say." Tobias says.
"Good. This… talk is useless." Kylo says.
Kylo attacks Tobias once more. The two trade blows several times. Rey mostly stays back, but occasionally tries to draw Kylo away from Tobias. Kylo ignores her, and seems intent on killing his brother.
He's leaving his left side vulnerable. Maybe I can take him by surprise. Rey thinks.
Rey slowly gets closer to Kylo, and tries to attack him, but Kylo suddenly turns toward her, and blocks her saber.
"Foolish of you, girl. You are clearly unprepared to face me." Kylo says.
"Am I? I know exactly what you are. Toby told me all about you, Ben Solo." Rey says.
"That name… means nothing to me." Kylo says.
"He told me about a brother who used to protect him." Rey says.
What the hell are you doing, Rey? Tobias thinks.
"Enough games. Fight or stand aside." Kylo says.
"He told me about a brother who wanted to do good. Who wanted to help people." Rey says.
"I am… helping people!" Kylo says.
"By killing them? By enslaving them?" Tobias asks.
"I am making the galaxy a better place!" Kylo answers.
"By destroying it?" Rey asks.
"The weak must be destroyed to secure our future!" Kylo says.
"Tobias is right. You're a dumbass." Rey says.
"I'll show you… who the dumbass is!" Kylo says. He extends his hand toward Rey, and she drops her saber as she starts choking.
"Let her go! This is between you and me!" Tobias says.
Kylo ignores him, and continues to choke Rey. Suddenly, a blaster shot hits him in the leg, and he releases Rey. She falls to the ground, and gasps for air. Kylo looks toward the source of the shot. The blaster in Finn's hands.
"Leave her alone!" Finn says.
"You… traitor! I will kill you!" Kylo shouts.
"Bring it on, bitch!" Finn says. He prepares to shoot Kylo again.
"Finn, help Rey. Get her out of here." Tobias says. Finn walks to Rey, and helps her to her feet.
"No… " Rey says.
"You've done enough, Rey. I'll finish this." Tobias says.
"You… are fools. You leave yourselves undefended. Now, it will be your undoing!" Kylo shouts. He extends his hand toward Rey and Finn. Rey's lightsaber slowly rises off the ground.
That lightsaber… is my grandfather's. It will be mine! Victory… is inevitable! Kylo thinks.
The saber flies toward Kylo, then past him, right into the outstretched hand of Luke Skywalker.
