Days that seemed to never end passed as they tracked the resistance and their children across the galaxy. They were still awaiting news from Naboo. Masro tried to fill every minute of her day so she didn't have to think about her loss or her experience during her capture. She hated sleeping the most because it was reliving the experience every-time. Masro started training with kylo, again. How to used her force again and fight training. The experience brought them closer together, it felt like home finally.
They were lightsaber fighting but with their hands behind their back and just using the force to fight. Masro tripped and laughed as her lightsaber cut through a fight dummy. She used the force to call her lightsaber.
"Maybe we should go back to hand combat with the lightsabers, that dummy never had a chance. Let's see you try to best me."
"Maybe I don't want to best you, but I sure want to do a lot to you." Kylo circled around Masro. She was waiting for his strike; her heart was pounding.
"Then show me what you want to do."
Masro stepped back towards the wall and egged kylo on. He went in for his first strike she blocked it, then quickly three more strikes all of which Masro blocked. They began to quickly par moving across the room. Masro went for a strike and hit one of the walls as kylo rolled out of the way. He quickly came up behind Masro and pulled her close to him holding the lightsaber near her throat. Her quickened breathing became almost frantic as kylo slid one hand down her body and into her pants.
Kylo quickly found what he was looking for, bringing pleasure to Masro while still holding her captive with his lightsaber. She reached one hand behind her and slowly stroked the front of kylo's pants, bringing a moan from his throat. He turned the lightsaber off and allowed her to turn in his arms. Masro brought his lips to hers and deeply kissed him. When they parted, she pushed him to the floor and straddled him, bringing her lit lightsaber to his throat.
"I win."
He force turned her lightsaber off and flipped them, so he was on top. Masro reached with the force to lock the training room doors. Kylo almost growled kissing down her neck while pulling her shirt open. He gently sucked on both breast, then licked each hardened nipple. Masro gasped at the pleasure it brought her. Kylo rolled off Masro to undo her pants and boots, you could see his excitement build in his eyes as he lowered her pants.
Once off he slid his hands slowly down her thighs, spreading them in the process. Kylo watched her face fill with anticipation and desire. He bent down and lightly kissed each thigh, then bit them with just enough force to draw a moan from Masro. She was already glistening from his earlier pleasure and his fingers found their way into her as he started to slowly lick and suck on parts of her that brought her the most pleasure. Masro started to writhe as her climax built, he used the force to steady her causing her to cry out.
"Please, kylo."
He just gave her a mischievous grin and continued to pleasure her. Her cries were arousing to kylo he wanted her to scream his name and be ready for him when he penetrated deep into her. Kylo continued until he could hear in her breathing she was about to climax, he looked at her in anticipation and unfroze her. Her cries changed when that release of pleasure filled her.
"Kylo!"
That one word was all it took, He unbuckled his pants and thrust into her making her scream his name over and over. He loved being on top, having the power of how much force he could use thrusting in and out of her. Kylo used one hand to hold Masro's face so they looked into each other's eyes. He firmly pushed his lips and tongue together with hers. Their breath was frantically coming out, Masro almost couldn't catch hers. It took everything for kylo not to make her pass out, he enjoyed the thought of the power he would have over her body. These thoughts brought kylo to a powerful finish making both of them scream each other's names.
Exhausted kylo rolled on his back next to Masro. They both looked at the ceiling. He reached out and grabbed her hand causing Masro to turn and look at him.
"I love you; I wish there was a phrase more powerful than that because love doesn't feel strong enough. You are so much more."
"I agree it doesn't, because I feel the same way."
Kylo sat up looking down at Masro. "I think it's time you make a new lightsaber. This one doesn't fit you anymore. Traditionally you're supposed to best somebody in battle and take their kyber to corrupt, but that's a bit tough these days. I will take you to our supply deep in the unknown region, as they have mined everything from this planet and moved it."
"My love, we are not Sith, we have transcended beyond light and dark. I think it's a wonderful idea to make a new lightsaber for my new life, but I must say the thought is terrifying to make a new one. Kyber crystals only respond to those that think they are on the light side. Which is a joke."
"Yes, that's is correct, but it can be made to work." They left the training room to shower. Kylo called Driad to their suite, while Masro readied herself.
"Supreme Leader."
"Driad, I'm taking Masro on a small mission to the unknown region. I will personally be piloting my command shuttle. We need no guards on board with us."
"Sir, we should still send a couple of shuttles with Troops or at least flank the shuttle with some tie fighters."
"Tie fighters, then. Where we are going it's unpopulated, so we don't have to worry about ground attack."
Driad nodded and left to prep Kylo's command shuttle and the soldiers that would accompany them. Masro walked out in her official clothing. She added a cloak and looked at Kylo.
"They should be ready for us in the hanger. Driad suggested our shuttle be flanked by tie fighters, I agreed."
They walked hand in hand to the hanger. Kylo could feel Masro's nerves and fear through their connection, but on the surface she looked unfazed. The two of them marched on to their command shuttle and kylo closed the door behind them. He was very serious when it came to piloting, going through a thorough check before taking off.
Masro locked herself in the copilot's seat but loved watching Kylo's face in deep concentration. She lost herself in deep thought of the past.
She was back at the academy, awaiting kylo, although he was Ben back then, to be done with his lesson. He had promised to be the one to take her to IIum to retrieve her Kyber crystal so she could finally build her lightsaber. Though not as well supplied as it once was due to the galactic empire it still contained a good supply. She had been at the academy nearly a month and had been using a student lightsaber, but Master Skywalker had deemed her ready for her quest for a kyber and Ben had volunteered to be her guide.
Masro was very nervous, not for the quest but for being alone with Ben. She definitely felt towards him a way that a Jedi should not feel. She wondered if the crystals would even think her worthy, especially with all she had done with Ben. She had told Ben they should stop before he lost his way on the right path, he was very unhappy about the decision. This was the first time they would be completely alone since then; she was very nervous. The knock at her hut door brought her out of herself.
"Come in."
"Ready to go?" Ben gesture to the shipyard, avoiding Masro's eyes.
"Yes, let me just put on my cloak." Masro buttoned her cloak and they were on their way. She stole a side glance at him and realized he was doing the same thing and smiled. When they reached the ship, they were taking he held his hand out to help her on board. Then followed her, it was a standard size mission craft with a few rooms for overnight flight, and other supplies. Masro walked by one of the bedrooms. Her pulse quickened thinking about what she wanted to do with Ben in that bed. She blocked her thoughts. Ben was doing a systems check before taking off and was too busy to notice her mind block. she went to sit next to him and watch.
"A kiss for your thoughts Maze." Kylo brought Masro out of her memory.
"I'm sorry. I was thinking about when we went on the mission for my first kyber crystal at the academy."
"Well hopefully this trip will be better than that one, you were pretty upset after your vision quest."
Masro had forgotten that this was another memory she altered; she never had a vision. She was upset because she used an ability she had to remove and alter memories from kylo. Memories she cherished but he didn't even remember. They took off deeper into the unknown region.
"Well, about that. Remember I altered some of your memories, well this is one of those." Kylo turned toward Masro and gave her a look. "Put the ship on auto pilot, I'll restore your memory."Kylo gave Masro his hand.
They were being chased by smugglers, Ben, because that who he was then, was maneuvering well to get out of the way of their shots. They rounded through an asteroid field. Hiding until the smugglers passed, Ben went after them and shot at them. The smugglers ship exploded, but with a strange event of an Ion pulse they must have had an Ion bomb on board. All the ships electronics died, and it started to plummet. They were right above their destination so kylo just had to get the ship to glide to a landing. It was a very rough entry, Masro was thrown from her seat and had a gash on her forehead.
Ben crash landed but not totaling their ship thanks to his flying skills. He ran over to her and pulled her in to his arms.
"Masro? Masro?"
She started coming around. He could tell she was in pain. Ben assessed her, and realized her arm was broken and the shoulder was out of joint.
"Ben, you have to fix it."
"It's going to be extremely painful, the Ion pulse knocked everything out. I can't access anything in the med kit. I'm going to roll this cloth so you can bite on it."
Masro bit it and looked into Ben's eyes, tears escaped her eyes as she realized the pain she was about to endure. Ben popped her shoulder back into place, there was no other way to do it than by full strength with his hands. Masro screamed from the pain so loud it echoed, and tears escaped both of their eyes.
"I'm sorry."
He pulled her back in his arms, and hugged her, then made her a holder for her broken arm.
"You have nothing to be sorry about. You just saved our lives."
"That's not what I was apologizing for. I never want to cause you pain. I care to much about you."
"Ben, you know I feel the same but maybe more so."
"I know we haven't talked about the things we shared as of late , but I wanted—" Masro cut Kylo's thought off.
"I love you, Ben. I've always loved you."
"I know and I've always loved you to."
He bent to kiss her but Masro stopped him. They looked into each other's eyes for a moment.
"You know we can't walk that path again. Though admittedly I have thought about it selfishly."
"As have I."
Ben bent again and Masro lifted her lips to meet his. Their kiss quickly became passionate each wanting more by the moment.
Kylo pulled his hand away from Masro.
"A kiss caused you to alter everything?"
"No, up until this trip you remembered everything that had happened between us. I then altered the entire experience from the Kiss on, you pulled away to fast. Much more happened, we were stuck on IIum for nearly two weeks. I made the difficult decision because I didn't want to be the one to change your path. I've known you my entire life and I knew how your family treated you, like you were going to the dark side for any reason. I don't know anymore, I just thought it was right at the moment."
Kylo grabbed Masro's hand and she continued the vision.
They were still kissing, but Masro pulled back in pain.
"Are you ok? I didn't mean to hurt you."
"I'm just hurting from everything, nothing you just did. Perhaps we should stop, before it leads to something else, we can't come back from."
"We've walked that path already Maze. What does it matter if we continue down it?"
Masro just looked at Ben and struggled to stand up, heading to the small room where the bathroom was. She looked at herself in the mirror, masro could tell she might be going into shock. She leaned with one hand on the counter and tried to breathe and calm down. Masro finally felt ok enough to tend to her cuts. There was a soft knock at the door.
"Masro?"
She opened the door to face him, her heart skipped a beat just being this close to him. Masro wanted to reach out and continue what they started but resisted.
"We need to come up with a plan. We're stuck here until they come and find us or we…."
"Die…." Ben nodded.
"I don't want to die with anything unresolved between us."
"Ben—"
"No, let me finish. I want us to experience everything we have ever wanted with each other. If we die, then it's in each other's arms where I would gladly die if it means I'm with you. If we are rescued, then I give you permission to alter my mind how you see fit."
Masro reached her good hand up to Ben's cheek, he continued to look into her eyes. They kissed again; Ben was careful of Masro's arm, but his hands traveled down her body exploring all parts of her. He led them to the small bed, and they separated to undress. Ben helped Masro when her arm limited her, then helped her into bed.
They continued to kiss but soon Ben's hardened manhood started exploring her most private of places almost begging to be let in. He pulled back and looked at her once more before pushing himself into her. They both cried out, Masro from pain and Ben from pleasure.
"Oh Masro, I love you. I want us to be like this always."
They kissed as he thrust in and out of her, bringing cries of pain from Masro that soon led to pleasure. He soon finished and rolled off of her.
"I think somehow I always remembered because I use to have a recurring dreams about us having sex while back at the academy. I just thought it was me fantasizing about you. I understand though why you did what you did. I love you for always wanting the best for me but that must have been difficult for you to have those memories and not be able to act on them."
"It was very difficult. During the two weeks we pretty much stayed in bed keeping each other warm with activities. Then to go back and be alone, not having you in my bed. It was heartbreaking. I wanted to give you the memory back so many times, especially when you were lacking hope. Then time passed and things continued to happen anyway."
"So, you never had a vision then?"
"No. I was upset about altering your memories. I wanted us to be together even then."
"What's funny is I always thought it was snoke that pushed us together. With the force dream and everything, it was why I was loyal to him at the beginning. I bet he knew you altered my memories and that we had already crossed that line. So, I know you have used this at least a few times, how many times have you used this abilities on me?"
Masro looked down again, in silence. There had been many other times while at the academy they had gone to far and she altered his memory.
"Your Silence tells me it's a lot," he said flatly.
"We had many encounters of this nature while at the academy. I do believe you're right that snoke was the final straw that pushed us together though. I had planned to leave during that mission if you remember, but I felt an overwhelming urge to stay. That it would all work out. Why would he do that then torture me so?"
"Because he had what he wanted, he didn't need me to have you anymore." They looked into each other's eyes a moment. "Show me some of the experiences, I've had a few restore by you."
They held hands once more.
Masro was walking towards Ben's hut. She had her cloak wrapped tightly around her. The sky was lit with the sparkling of stars but there was no moon that night. Her heart was pounding as she closed in on his hut. She softly knocked, hoping he was awake. He quickly came to the door.
"Masro, is everything ok? Come in."
Masro walked through the door and stood to one side of his bed. Ben came to her with concern on his face and searched hers. She shakily lifted her hand to unbutton her cloak and let it fall. Masro stood naked in front of Ben. His eyes instantly filled with lust.
"You're beautiful."
They embraced kissing, falling onto his bed. Intertwining he quickly entered her, bringing a quiet gasp from her. They tried to be as quiet as they could as they committed this act of love. When they had finished Ben fell asleep, Masro touched his forehead and a tear escaped her eyes as she put her cloak on and left.
Another vision took form. She was bending over grabbing some of her robes out of washing water. She was wearing a dress as all her clothes were being washed. Masro felt Ben's force flow around her. She turned and saw him; his face was filled with lust. Ben came in and closed the door, she turned towards him.
"What are you doing, Ben?"
"Taking something, I want."
He walked closer to her and grabbed her arms. Masro's face filled with fear.
"You don't have to do it like this. I'll give you what you want willingly."
He roughly kissed her lips and turned her around bending her back over lifting her dress. Then she felt it as he roughly entered her. When he was done, he looked at her and wiped her tears. She touched his face and altered the memory.
The vision changed. They were combat training, Ben had Masro wrapped in his arms as a final move but this close they felt each other's lust through their force. Ben turned her around in his arms and he kissed Masro.
Kylo pulled his hand back. "I'm a bit hurt you altered so many of my memories. I feel sometimes I don't know any of our history."
"Please don't be angry."
"I'm not. I just wish you would have left them. We could have had a relationship in secret."
"I'm sorry. I wish I had."
Masro got up and went to their suite to meditate. Kylo took control of the ship and landed a bit away from the cave that held the crystals. Masro came out of their suite and headed off without a word by herself. Upon entering the cave, it felt like all the energy and force cleared out and left her feeling empty. She had felt this feeling long ago, in a time she tried no to think about.
"Please, don't abandon me," Masro said aloud to the cave. She started walking towards where kylo said the crystals would be. When she was younger, the crystal sang to her and she knew that was her crystal. Masro knelt and felt the crystals, they were all cold to touch. She knew it was a possibility that they could play a trick on her and waited, but nothing happened.
"Kyber crystals, please with your permission I would like to make a new lightsaber. I know you don't see me as entirely good anymore, but it would be an honor to be selected for a crystal." For a long moment it was silent and just as Masro was getting up to leave, she heard footsteps. She turned "Kylo?"
The last thing she saw before it went back was the hilt of a familiar lightsaber, the dark saber. Masro was coming to, she didn't know how long she had been out cold. She was trying to remember what happened, when a familiar voice made her focus.
"Hello Masro," the voice spoke. Masro turned slowly around, fear gripping her. It was her mentor from the Mandalor academy, Sabine Wren. She knew it couldn't be her though as this figure in front of her hadn't aged a day since she fought her way out of the academy.
"The cave is messing with my mind, you're not really here," Masro stood taking a stance.
"Then why are you taking the fighting stance I taught you." Masro faltered a bit, knowing that the cave would know what she knew.
"Why haven't you told Kylo about you other life?"
"Stop. Leave the past there."
"Dume's waiting for you."
At the sound of the name Masro grabbed her abdomen closing her eyes tight. She couldn't hold back her tears.
"You're not real. Get out of my head!"
"First you lost Dume…now…." Masro cut Sabine off with a force choke lifting her off the ground. Sabine laughed; it sent a chill through Masro. She pulled her force back and looked at Sabine.
"I'm done with this," Masro fully released her force, it rushed through the cave. Sabine disappeared and Masro dropped to her knees. Afraid to think because of the power the cave held. After several minutes she was ready to leave, convinced the cave would not give up any of its crystals to her. As she was standing a crystal sang out to her. She reached and it came right to her, but again as she turned to leave another crystal sang out.
"Two crystals?" Masro asked curiously. As she walked to the cave entrance the crystals began to change color. One turned an onyx and the other a gray color. Masro whispered, "Thank you."
Masro walked up the ramp onto the command ship, Kylo was surprised to see Masro had taken so long but saw she held two crystals that had changed color as they excepted her as their equal.
"Black and grey?" He had only heard of one other black kyber and that was the dark saber. "How will you design your new sword around two?"
"I am hoping a vision comes to me, I am surprised I was even acknowledged by the crystals,"Masro responded. Kylo started doing his check for take off, he knew any vision she had was her own and not his business. Masro sat on the ground near him to meditate. They flew in silence, he felt her blocking him from her thoughts but didn't push it. Nearly halfway there Masro opened her eyes and jumped up. A vision had come to her. It was to be a single lightsaber hilt that was slightly longer than her forearm, both crystals would be inside. The hilt could come apart and make two lightsabers. When connected it could make a staff or the second crystal would come out at the top through curved extensions and wrap itself around the other.
"You had a vision." He felt it radiating from her.
"Yes," she said and described her lightsaber.
"That's a very interesting design,"Kylo said as he put the shuttle on auto pilot. He turned to Masro and grabbed her hands. "My love let's put the past behind us. We are happily married and in love."
He pulled her in and kissed her. She kissed him back and pulled back wanting more.
"My sky, I love you. I agree we need to let the past stay there, our present needs us United. I do wish we could unite here but I know we don't have the time."
Kylo came to a landing on the finalizer. They disembarked and Masro went to work putting her new lightsaber together. Once complete she came to show Kylo. They continued training, Masro was always a challenge for Kylo, but with a double lightsaber she was especially challenging. When she was ready, he allowed her to start going on deployments.
