One day after the destruction of Starkiller Base, Tobias is with Rey and Luke in a forest some distance from the Resistance base. All three are seated on the ground, meditating.
"What is it, Rey?" Tobias asks.
"I… feel something." Rey answers.
"What do you feel?" Luke asks.'
"I think… I think I'm having another vision." Rey answers.
"Don't be afraid. The force is trying to tell you something. Just… let it happen." Luke says.
"Okay." Rey says.
Begin Force Vision-
Suddenly, Rey's surroundings change. She sees herself in a massive throne room with Tobias and Luke. All three have lightsabers in their hands as they fight a shadow with a red blade.
The shadow again? Who is this? I wonder… is this that Snoke person that everybody keeps talking about? Rey thinks.
Suddenly, the shadow stabs Luke through the chest, and the Jedi Master vanishes. Tobias and Rey continue to fight the shadow. Soon, the shadow begins to attack with lightning. Tobias and Rey fall to the floor, and scream in agony as the attack continues.
The scene changes, and Rey watches helplessly as the shadow uses its red blade to behead Tobias.
"Nooooooo!" Rey shouts.
Toby! No! I won't let this happen! I won't let him die! Rey thinks.
The scene changes again, and Rey watches as her other self fights the shadow alone, eventually disarming the evil being.
"Good! Your hate has made you strong! You want to kill me! I can feel your anger!" A deep, sinister voice says.
"You killed the man I love! I'll end you for that!" The other Rey shouts.
"I cannot be killed. I am immortal. The power to cheat death is a power that only I have achieved! Join me… and learn this power! The true power of the force!" The voice says.
No! Rey thinks.
"Yes, girl! Join me! Learn the secrets of immortality, and save the ones you love!" The voice says.
"Rey…" Tobias says. His voice is barely heard by Rey.
"Toby!" Rey shouts.
"Join me, or Tobias Solo will die!" The voice says.
"Rey!" Tobias says. His voice is louder now.
Okay. Focus on his voice. Just like the last time. Rey thinks.
End Force Vision-
Rey finds herself once more with Tobias and Luke. She immediately rushes to Tobias and starts sobbing as she embraces him.
"It's okay, Rey. I'm here." Tobias says.
"It was… horrible!" Rey says between sobs.
"You're okay, sweetheart. It's over now." Tobias says.
"I won't… let it happen." Rey says as she continues to cry.
"What… did you see?" Luke asks.
"We… were fighting… a shadow, and… you both… you both… died. Then, he… spoke to me." Rey answers.
"What did he say?" Tobias asks.
"He told me I could stop what I saw from happening if I joined him. He also said he would teach me the secret of immortality." Rey answers.
"That's the dark side, Rey. What he told you is a lie. I'm pretty sure it was Snoke trying to manipulate you." Tobias says.
"Snoke wants to control everything and everyone. What he's just done to you… it's a common Sith tactic to recruit apprentices. Preying on their greatest fears. In your case, you're afraid of losing Toby." Luke says.
"I love him. I don't know what I'd do without him." Rey says.
"The force brought the two of you together. You're meant to be with each other. However, be mindful. Snoke could use your love against you, and twist it into an obsession, which will lead to jealousy and fear. The Sith have used this tactic before." Luke says.
"Like what happened to grandfather." Tobias says.
"Exactly." Luke says.
"So, what do we do to stop this from happening?" Rey asks.
"Have faith in your love for each other, no matter what. Be honest with each other. Trust each other completely." Luke answers.
"I will." Tobias says.
"So will I." Rey says. Luke nods in approval.
"You said earlier that you think Snoke is controlling Ben." Tobias says.
"I'm almost certain of it. There's an old Sith power called dominate mind. Far more powerful than a mind trick. And it's permanent… until it's undone by someone strong enough." Luke says.
"So… everything Ben's done… it's not him. It's Snoke." Tobias says.
"That's right. Our Ben… is still in there." Luke says.
"Can you help him?" Tobias asks.
"I believe so." Luke answers.
Later, Tobias is in the command center. He is at the holotable with Rey, Luke, Leia, Poe, Finn, BB-8, R2-D2, and C3PO. Around them, the numerous Resistance members go about their duties.
"Now that Starkiller Base has been taken out, it's time to deal with Snoke." Leia says.
"Great, but how do we find him?" Poe asks.
"We don't. We bring him to us." Leia answers.
"You… want Snoke to know where we are?" Poe asks.
"He'll come. We have what he wants most." Tobias answers.
"And that is?" Poe asks.
"All of the Jedi in one place. All of… my family in one place. Snoke will come." Leia answers.
"I'm not sure I'm feeling this plan, general." Poe says.
"I'm not a hundred percent sold on it either, but this is the best we've got, so this is what we're doing." Leia says.
"What's the matter, Hot Dog? Afraid of a little danger?" Tobias asks.
"Nope. Now, certain doom, that's a different story." Poe answers.
"We have to do this. We take out Snoke, and what's left of the First Order will destroy itself." Luke says.
"You know that for sure?" Poe asks.
"Call it a hunch." Luke answers.
"Communications, open comms, all frequencies." Leia says.
"All frequencies? General, the First Order… they'll be able to track us!" Poe says.
"I know." Leia says.
"All frequencies open, general." A nearby officer says.
"This is General Leia Organa of the Resistance to Supreme Leader Snoke of the First Order. I have your apprentice. I have Luke Skywalker. We're on D'Qar, in the Illenium system. Come get us you son of a bitch." Leia says.
There are several seconds of silence, when suddenly, a deep, sinister voice comes over the comm, and says "I'm looking forward to it, princess."
As the comm system is shut off, Leia notices Luke leaning against the table with his eyes closed.
"Luke? What is it?" Leia asks.
"We don't have a lot of time. A few hours maybe. I'm going to use that time to try to help Ben." Luke answers.
"Can you?" Leia asks.
"I think so." Luke answers.
"Do you need any help?" Tobias asks.
"Actually, I do. If anyone can reach him, it's you." Luke answers.
"Luke's right. Ben always trusted you more than anyone. Even your father… and me." Leia says.
"In that case… let's get on with it." Tobias says. Luke nods, and steps away from the table.
"Luke… bring my boy home." Leia says.
"I'll do my best." Luke says.
A few minutes later, Tobias and Luke enter the detention area of the Resistance base. Inside one of the cells is Kylo Ren, with a force suppressor around his neck. His severed arm has been replaced with a cybernetic one.
"Skywalker. Are you here to interrogate me again?" Kylo asks.
"No, Ben. We're here to help you." Tobias answers.
"You still insist on using that name. It means nothing to me." Kylo says.
"It's your real name! Kylo Ren… is the name Snoke gave you when he made you his slave!" Tobias says.
"I am his apprentice! His enforcer! I help him bring peace and freedom to the galaxy!" Kylo says.
"You are a slave! Snoke is manipulating you!" Tobias says.
"You lie. You… are weak. You could have had the same power that I do, but you rejected it. Now, you are nothing. You will die as nothing." Kylo says.
"It's no use, Toby. You won't be able to reach him until I remove Snoke's brainwashing." Luke says.
"I know. Still, I had to try." Tobias says.
"Of course." Luke says, as he extends his hand toward Kylo.
"Whatever you're planning, you'll fail. I'm stronger than you now, Skywalker. I'll destroy you. Then Tobias. Then… the girl. The Jedi will be no more, and Snoke will… " Kylo says. He suddenly stops speaking, and starts to shake, as if he is having a seizure. Soon, Kylo starts screaming, then he passes out.
"What the hell?" Tobias asks.
"I removed Snoke's commands from his mind. The shock caused him to pass out." Luke answers.
"Is he going to be alright?" Tobias asks.
"Yeah. At least physically. As for his mind, it's too soon to say." Luke answers.
"Hopefully he wakes up before the First Order gets here." Tobias says.
"We did all we could, Toby. The rest is up to Ben." Luke says.
We're getting close to the end now. We only have two regular chapters left, as well as an epilogue.
