It had been several weeks since they departed Naboo. Kylo and Masro's plan to bring more planets to the side of the first order has been going well. Nearly all of the outer rim planets that are inhabited to the inner rim have signed treaties and trade agreements. There were several they were waiting to hear from still. The first order promises were usually protection, jobs, military training if they want to serve (as kylo and Masro abolished taking children and raising them military style), and homes on ships that they serve on which included food, recreation, medical and fair pay. In exchange they have planets that provide troops, build ships and weapons, supply food and fuel.
They still had many planets that needed to be visited to finalize treaties, but Kylo and Masro decided to take a bit of a break. Though he had his reputation as ruthless, he was a beloved leader to his people. They knew he would defend them and fight for them. Most things had gotten back to normal. Except Masro and Kylo's private life.
"Masro, it's been over a month since we have been intimate,"Kylo complained angrily. "You have been cleared for weeks."
"That's not true, it just was not the way you wanted it, but we were intimate." Masro sighed and looked at him, completely understanding his need, yet she was terrified. He walked up to her and started to undress her. When She stood naked before him, he growled hungrily at her and kissed her. She did respond but he could tell it was forced.
Kylo threw her on the bed and decided to try what was left incomplete so long ago. He finished undressing and used the force to tie her to each corner of the bed. Kylo slid his hands up Masro's legs and started exploring her most private of places, he could feel her body responding. Two of his fingers found their way inside her and Masro released a moan of pleasure. He kept going until her body was shaking with her climax and Masro screamed his name.
He kissed up her body until he reached her breast. While he sucked and nibbled at one, he used his other hand to kneed the other. He reached Masro's lips and firmly kissed her.
"You enjoying this now?"
"Yes, my love," she breathed out, enjoying all that kylo was doing. Kylo back handed her. Which really aroused her, she used the force to unravel her ties and pushed him on his back. Masro slowly mounted his hardened manhood bringing moans from both of them. He sat up so he could kiss and play with her breast while she rode him. Kylo reached around and grabbed her rear with one hand. He flipped them and was thrusting as deeply and roughly as he could manage on his knees with her legs propped against him.
"Kylo, kylo, Yes! Please, Kylo,"Masro moaned out. She reached down and began playing with herself as he watched while thrusting.
"You like touching yourself with me watching?" He breathed out between thrust.
"Un-huh," was all she was able to say as she was so close to climaxing again. He back handed her again. "Oh kylo, I love you deep in me."
"I'm going to fill you to the brim,"Kylo moaned and climaxed in Masro. Masro played a bit longer then she climaxed again. He pulled her up into his arms. "I love you." He kissed her.
"Thank you for reminding me that life still moves forward. We have a lot of sex to catch up on,"she kissed him again.
"Lots and lots,"Kylo growled with a sinister playful smile. Masro laughed and ran into the bathroom while Kylo chased after her. He caught her and pulled her in for a kiss, walking her back to the shower. They let the steam from the shower warm them. Kylo pulled back from the kiss and just looked at her. This woman who saved his soul, who kept him grounded. Who pushed him to be a better leader.
"A kiss for your thoughts, Kylo," Masro said snapping Kylo out of them. He smiled at her.
"I was just thinking about you,"he kissed her again. They both looked into each other's eyes finding the other part of themselves. "I'm so lucky to have you in my life, I can truly be myself around you and you never judge me for any action I may take."
"I feel the same,"Masro pulled him down for another kiss before pushing him under the water. She laughed and tried to get away, but he used the force to bring her to him. Kylo hugged her and they kissed but it quickly turned into more. He kissed down her neck and slid his hands down her back. She slowly slid her hands down his exquisite chest to his growing manhood. Masro stroked slowly bringing a growl from Kylo wanting more. He looked at her with such intensity that it made her gasp.
Kylo reached down and kissed her like he was trying to call her soul into him. He turned them and pushed her into the wall, lifting her without taking his lips from hers. She wrapped her arms and legs around him. Kylo slid one hand down between them to help him slide into her. Masro pulled back from his lips and moaned.
"Look in my eyes,"Kylo ordered as he continued to thrust in and out of her. She was having a hard time, so he grabbed her chin roughly with one hand. He let go and backhanded her making her growl. She pushed him back and he slid out of her. Masro turned the shower off and grabbed Kylo's hand and led him back to their room. Kylo grabbed her arm and turned her toward him again. He grabbed her neck tightly putting his thumb on her pulse.
"So fragile, we are,"he focused on her pulse, everything faded away and he was loss to his dark impulses.
"Then live in this moment," Masro pulled him in for a kiss, waking Kylo from his trance. He pushed her down on to their bed he wanted something rougher and more raw from her. Kylo forced Masro to present herself to him, he used his fingers on one hand to explore her bringing little cries of pleasure out of her. The other hand he readied himself. Kylo took his fingers out of Masro and rubbed his hard manhood with her juices. He slowly pushed himself into her rear causing Masro to scream out in pain and pleasure.
Kylo used her hips to steady his rhythm. He loved hearing her cries when he rammed into her. Kylo pulled her up towards him so their bodies were one, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her shoulder up to her neck. She reached one arm back over her head and ran it through his hair, he cupped the breast on that side and pinched her nipple lightly. Masro tilted her head to the side and Kylo lightly bit her, not enough to leave a mark just enough to draw an orgasmic scream from Masro.
Kylo couldn't hold back anymore, he started roughly thrusting in and out of Masro hitting his climax. He pulled out and headed to the shower, leaving Masro wanting more. She crawled off the bed to head to the shower and Kylo saw the disappointment on her face.
"What's wrong my love?"
Masro stepped in the shower. She just looked at him a moment before pushing past him to the water. Masro tilted her head back under the water and ran her fingers through her hair. She finished washing her hair and opened her eyes to see kylo looking at her unhappily with his arms crossed.
"No, you don't get to be mad. You had an orgasm, I didn't. Then you just walked away!" Masro said angrily. Kylo realized to late he was selfish and left her hanging. He walked up to her and pulled her in his arms.
"I'm sorry my love,"he kissed her and slid one hand down to bring her to pleasure. While they continued to kiss, he brought moans from her until he brought her to a climax, but he didn't stop. Kylo could feel her so wet for him and he had grown hard again so he lifted her and slid himself in. He pumped her while continuing playing with her until they both sang out their orgasms together.
"Am I forgiven?" He gave Masro his best sad eyes. Masro laughed and kissed him.
"Yes, my love," Masro moved under the water again and cleaned up.
"Ok, now I'm really just going to take a shower and get dressed," kylo laughed.
They both dressed in silence, happy with just each other's company. Then started to pack for their trip to Varykino.
"Anything you want to see me in?"He just smiled, he loved having her in clothes to rip them off her Masro read in his mind, "So everything? That's no help."
He picked a few things and she chose the rest. Kylo called to have their stuff taken to his command shuttle. She had dressed in his favorite gown to travel there, a floor length trumpet style dress. It was black and covered from the top to bottom in black sequin decoration with different stones bringing a sparkle depending on the light. It was skintight, long sleeve and had an extremely deep plunge in the front. Masro put on her first order necklace and the emblem was cold when it hit her skin. Kylo came up and slid his hands around her body, bringing one up to gently slide down her chest.
"My love, you look ravishing. I just love watching your body in that gown."
"I never know what to say when you compliment me like that."
"You don't need to say anything. The way you look at me says it all."
"I love you."
"I love you more."
They kissed and left for their shuttle. Helix was there to see them off and get his final orders from Kylo. He looked Masro up and down and back up again, practically drooling. Kylo stopped by Helix.
"Helix, I keep you around because you're one of the best trainers of the knights but drooling opened mouthed over my Wife and your mistress is not going to end well for you."
Helix closed his mouth that he hadn't realized was open. Masro went on board and Kylo stayed behind to give Helix orders. Kylo finally followed on to the command shuttle and they took off.
"What are you going to do about Helix?"
Kylo looked off in the distance. "My first instinct is to kill him because of what he did to you but I'm a leader and I have our people to think about. I need to keep a good trainer and strategist with the knights. We have been starting the idea of another super type weapon with Driad, but it's just talks,"Kylo answered. Masro figured kylo would never kill him and understood his reasons but she didn't have to like it on a personal level.
They flew in cloaked and landed on Naboo at their home. They were hoping to just spend time together as a couple to help them recharge. The command shuttle was to stay cloaked at all times while there. Kylo decided that they would stay in a different wing, though all the rooms look similar. This room faced the garden instead of the lake. Masro could tell kylo was over thinking something, though he was always over thinking. She took his hand in hers, and he looked at her.
"Kylo, my love, we live very public lives as leaders in the first order. Unfortunately, that means we have targets on us, at all times. We are here together and if something should happen, we will take care of it together. There is nothing we can't overcome,"Masro said comforting kylo. He brought a hand up to her cheek and brought her in for a kiss.
"I love you, Masro. You always keep me on the right path in life."
Though they never officially announced they were coming to the planet, somehow the Queen found out. An invitation arrived at Varykino, the queen of Naboo was holding a ball in Masro honor.
"She requested if we wanted to invite any senior officers, staff or friends,"kylo read out loud. They didn't trust anybody besides each other enough to consider them a friend.
"We can ask the senior officers, but I would be concerned to have so many leaders in one place," Masro thought out loud. Kylo was in deep thought, Masro's birthday was the day of the ball so he would send word to notify the queen.
"I'll take care of everything,"Kylo kissed Masro's cheek and left to the command shuttle to send all his notifications. With in a couple of days a few of their high-ranking officials had arrived, including General Driad and his husband to be and commander Finn and his wife.
The day of Masro's birthday the sun was coming up over the horizon and filling Masro's and Kylo's room with light. Kylo stretched and reached out for Masro only to find her side of the bed empty. He sat up half asleep and panicked.
"Masro?!" He called getting out of bed and putting a robe on. He checked the bathroom and balcony; she wasn't in either place. He pushed his force out and felt her, but she was angry which caused Kylo to panic even more. He grabbed his lightsaber and rushed out of the room barefooted, running from room to room. He wasn't getting anywhere this way.
"Masro," he said through their connection. He could smell flowers but only saw her.
"Yes, my love?" She replied slightly out of breath.
"I awoke and you weren't there. I have to admit I panicked a bit. Where are you? Are you ok? I felt your anger."
"In the garden, training. I'll be right in,"she responded and severed the connection. Several minutes later Masro was walking into their suite. She was glistening in sweat from training. "I'm sorry for worrying you, My sky. I just couldn't sleep; you know how I feel about today." Masro headed right to the bathroom to shower, with out making eye contact. Kylo followed her to the bathroom, she had already disrobed. He pulled her into his arms intending to kiss her but could tell something was wrong. He let her go and could tell she was shielding her mind.
"Masro,"kylo let the word hung heavy in the air. It wasn't a question but more of an order the way he said her name.
"I went for a run this morning. I ran all the way to the edge of lake country. It was the first time I have been home or what was left of it in over ten years. I knew they were gone but I….,"Masro trailed off while turning away from Kylo. He let out a breath he had been holding and pulled her back into his arms.
"I'm sorry. I don't have any other words to say to comfort you for something I did out of love. They treated you terribly growing up. You used to send me messages all the time to save you from them. I wish we had just run away when I first proposed to you,"Kylo voice was begging for forgiveness.
"I'm not mad at you, my love. I'm mad at myself. I was never brave enough to stand up for myself to them. You were always my hero. I screamed at the rubble everything I had wanted to say growing up and it just made me feel empty,"Masro cried into kylo's chest. She looked up at him and said, "I hate today. It reconnects me to all the pain from growing up, all the bullies and beatings for being different. If it weren't for you, I really don't think I would have survived my childhood or learned how to control my abilities."
"I know it was tough and I'm sorry you are reminded of that instead of wanting to celebrate. I got into a lot of trouble for taking care of those bullies. They ever find that one kid?"
"No, I wouldn't tell them what happened either. You did it for me and I would never betray you," Masro pulled kylo in for a kiss. "Thank you for saving me in so many ways."
She got in the shower and he joined her. She lowered herself to the floor of the shower and he followed. Masro straddled his lap and stroked his manhood to hardness and mounted it. Bringing a gasp from Masro's lips and a moan from Kylo's. She kissed him and put her forehead against his closing her eyes as she rode him. They wrapped their arms around each other and Masro rode him till he finished inside her. She kissed him before getting up to properly shower and he followed. Masro dried off and laid down to try and get some rest. Kylo dressed, kissed Masro and went to check in with all of the fleet.
Masro waited a few minutes after she heard the click of the door to get up. She opened the door and poked her head out, Kylo was out of sight. She put a robe on and ran across the hall and opened the door, a small chest sat on the floor. She grabbed it and put it on the bed in the room. The chest was covered in dust, soot and ash, and she felt a radiating force signature coming from it, but it was locked with no key and no place to put one. The most intriguing thing about it was that there was a first order symbol etched into the top of it, but this chest had to be nearly thirty years old by its looks. Masro held her hand up and tried to use the force to unlock it, but the chest had other idea and blasted Masro's force back at her. She ducked to avoid the blast back.
"How did you survive the fire? Why don't you open for me?"Masro asked the chest but knowing it wouldn't give her a response. She suddenly felt compelled to put her hand on the chest and thought open, the lock clicked. She opened it, there was a book inside among a few other objects. The book was well worn and tethered. Masro hadn't seen a non holocron in quite sometime. She picked it up and it flashed her back in memory.
She saw her parents, but so much younger than she ever remembered them. Her mother looked to be very pregnant. Her father was yelling at a cloaked figure angrily, while her mother had a pained expression on her face.
The vision changed, now it was just her mother with a lamp. It was night now and a hooded figure approached her, and she sat the lamp down. He wrapped his arms around her, she reached up to lower his hood and they kissed a deep passionate kiss. It was a man a bit older than her mother at the time. The man was quite handsome, he had long chestnut colored hair that rolled down his back when the hood was lowered. His face was ruggedly handsome, with battle scars on one side of his mouth. He had piercingly blue eyes, the Masro recognized from somewhere. After a moment Masro realized with horror that it was Snoke, Only a much younger not as scared version of him. She had only seen him one time through a hologram, but time had not been kind, nor had his fight to the top.
"Cadmar, my supreme leader, my true and only love, it is an honor to have your presence. I must apologize for my … husbands' reaction earlier, he does not support the order. I truly miss being in your arms and by your side," her mother spoke.
"As do I, my heart and soul. If you wish we can abandon this mission and you can return home to the unknown regions and be my queen as you are meant to be."
"No, I can't fail the first order or more importantly you. You mean to much to the galaxy. What is your will with our child?" Her mother spoke sadly. Masro was shocked her mother and Snoke, the father she thought was hers wasn't. No wonder he seemed to hate her; he must have always known she wasn't his.
"Our child, that you will bear soon, the child is that of the prophecy. She will have unbelievable powers and will lead my future apprentice to the dark side. With out her we will never bring Ben Solo over and complete Lord Vader's mission. You must befriend Leia Organa, Han Solo and leia's brother Luke Skywalker, the child Ben will be about two now. He must grow up being involved in our daughter's life, it is these events that will lead him to turn his back on the Jedi. I will remove these memories from your mind and lock them in this chest with Vader's journal along with any other important information so that a force sensitive person can't try and destroy it. But the mission will be ingrained in your soul. It also means you will not remember me or our love," Snoke kissed her mother again, her mother had tears fall from her eyes. When snoke turned he too had tears, he pulled his hood back on and walked into the darkness.
She blasted back to the present and dropped to her knees. Her life was a lie. Had she really changed the course of events that led Kylo's path to change? She took the journal back to their room to show Kylo upon his return. She paced the room, hoping for Kylo's quick return, but he hadn't come yet.
Masro began to get dressed for the ball, in such deep thought. She was terrified to even open the journal. Masro wore a beautiful gown that started off a light grey at the top and gradually worked its way to dark black at the bottom. It was off the shoulders that dipped into a deep plunge in the back, with a sheer lace overlay on the bodice and long sleeves of the same sheer material. From the top of the gown and around the low cut back a cape flowed down the back and arms. The bodice was form fitting and had a sweetheart top with a deep plunge in the middle that flowed into a beautiful floor length flowing skirt. It swung beautifully when Masro moved. She wore a first order ring on her right ring finger and a beautiful ring made of the rarest material in the galaxy that Kylo had given for her birthday on the left one. She finished it off with a small tiara and a small updo for her short hair. Kylo entered the room and gasped at her beauty, she turned and blushed.
"Too much? I can change," She asked. He finally was able to move and went to Masro.
"No, you are the most beautiful creature to ever live in this galaxy. I am so lucky to behold such beauty and to get touch such beauty." Kylo kissed her, not wanting to let go but had to also get ready for the Ball. He dressed in his formal attire, which made Masro gasp from how handsome he was. It made him smile to know he had that effect on Masro.
Kylo had all of the officers and their spouses go ahead, or at least he thought. Helix was waiting for them by the command shuttle. He gasp when he saw Masro but tried to hide it with a cough. Kylo helped Masro on the ship and Helix followed. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her, but the entire crew kept stealing glances at their queen so Kylo did nothing.
"You go in first Helix," Kylo ordered when they arrived at the palace. Masro walked into their mini suite on the command shuttle and Kylo followed after her. She looked to be having a panic attack. He put his hands on either side of her face.
"Look at me, Masro. Breathe calmly in and out. Everything is going to be fine. Like you said we are here together, and we can fix anything together."
Masro finally calmed down and hugged Kylo.
"I need to speak with you about something," she furrowed her brow with worry.
"It's going to have to wait until later, my love. Let us go," Kylo led Masro walked up to the announcer. He knew exactly who they where and went to announce them as they walked up.
"Presenting his excellency, the supreme leader of the first order, Kylo Ren and his wife, the queen of the first order and hero to Naboo, Masro Ren."
They walked through the doors and stood at the top of the stars a moment. Everyone had turned towards them and applauded their arrival. Masro pulled on Kylo's hand to let him know she was going to borrow his force. She shot it out and lightly scanned everyone's mind, nothing. No plots or anything nefarious. She went back to reality with a gasp as they started their decent on the stairs.
"Nobody has evil plans,"she whispered to kylo, who smiled.
"Except me, when we get back to our suite later," he whispered back making her blush. They reached the bottom of the stairs and everyone moved back to clear space for them. Kylo held his other hand out for Masro to take, she seemed surprised as she knew kylo hated to dance and to be honest was not the best dancer. She smiled a genuine smile that reached her eyes and took his hand, he wrapped the other arm around her, and the music began. Everyone watched as they preformed a perfect waltz. When they were done, they shared a kiss, and everyone applauded. The ball went back to normal with everyone mingling.
"My love, where did you learn to dance like that? It was beautiful,"Masro asked kylo. He looked over at Driad. Masro couldn't contain her laughter then she teared up, "No, he taught you how to dance? You really are the most amazing person, Kylo. To work with somebody to create something so beautiful for me."
Kylo leaned in and kissed Masro again. "Happy birthday, Masro, you are the light of my soul and the stars of my sky. I would endure anything to make you happy." The queen of Naboo came up then.
"That was beautiful. You two dance like you are one soul. It brought me to tears," she said.
"Thank you,"Masro said and the queen went off to dance. Helix came up and called kylo away, surprising Masro leaving her there alone.
As Masro stood waiting for Kylo, she felt her skin crawl. She turned to see Hux behind her, how had she missed his thoughts?
"Masro, you are the most beautiful woman in the room. Would you do me the honor of a dance?" Hux held his hand out. Masro looked at him with such hated in her eyes, this man who deserved death, who violently raped her with no regard for her children while she was pregnant.
"I should snap your neck where you stand."
"Do it, and my people will attack. We will kill Kylo first, then the queen of Naboo and work our way through the room."
"Yes, Armitage. I'll dance with you." She took his hand feeling disgusted as he touched her. They moved onto the floor and he wrapped one arm around her waist. She was stiff in his arms, but they moved beautifully together.
"Relax," Hux ordered."We're in a room full of people. It's not like I'm going to take advantage of you, right here at least. Maybe later."
Masro gasped as he squeezed her hand feeling like he was going to break it. She fought the urge to run because she didn't want anyone hurt on her account. He noticed a small tremor to her hand he held.
"You know I have my force abilities now and if you try anything like before you won't live through it," Masro warned with a smile, putting on a front.
"Makes for a better game for me. I will have you again. I will fill your body with my seed and make you scream my name," Hux dipped Masro and brought her in close enough for a kiss with his hand behind her head. He suddenly was frozen an inch from her lips, Masro hadn't done it. She was stuck in his arms, not being able to move without her lips grazing his. Panic crossed her face, as she felt a bunch of force signatures closing in that she didn't know. She tried to look for Kylo but couldn't turn enough to see him. A tear escaped her eyes as she felt Hux's hot breath against her skin. Kylo was walking as quickly as he could trying not to run to Masro. He unfroze Hux and Masro almost fell, Kylo caught her. Hux sneered at Kylo knowing he wouldn't do anything to him and walked away. Kylo tried to go after him but Masro stopped him.
"No, we are surrounded by force signatures. He said they would kill you first then work their way through the room." Kylo nodded at Helix and he went with the knights to look for the threat.
"Are you ok?" Kylo asked. Masro just looked at him stunned. He walked her outside to the balcony. Kylo asked what happened and Masro reiterated what just occurred between her and Hux. She looked at him with hurt in her eyes.
"I feel like I'm a kid again and helpless."
"I took care of that for you and I'll take care of this." Kylo was trying to remain calm but hated that Hux was able to get through their guard.
"I really hope so. I want him dead."
"Please calm down, it will be taken care of. Let's get back to the party. We need to keep up appearances,"Kylo grabbed Masro's arms, rubbing them up and down trying to calm her. When her breathing returned to normal, he grabbed Masro's hand and led her back in, knowing what was going to happen. They were bringing out a huge cake when they walked back in, Masro gave kylo a look. That's where he had gone off to earlier with helix. The queen of Naboo went to the stairs to elevate herself and everyone gathered around.
"Tonight, we honor a woman that put herself in danger for us and saved many of our lives, including mine. Today is also her birthday and we are honored that she chose to spend it with us. Let us welcome Masro Ren,"she finished. Everyone clapped and cheered. Masro stepped up beside the queen, looking nervously around.
"Thank you everyone. I am happy that all of you took time out of your busy lives to spend my birthday evening with me. This cake looks amazing,"Masro nervously finished and they applauded. A piece of cake was cut for Masro, Kylo declined. So, she fed him some of hers and they kissed.
"Let's sneak out and head home while it's still your birthday,"Kylo whispered in Masro ear. She nodded and they snuck out to their command shuttle. Once on the ship they went to their mini suite and started kissing. They arrived back at Varykino only a few minutes later, running off the ship only stopping to kiss at the bottom of the ramp.
"We should make love under the stars," Masro suggested when they pulled apart.
"Any place you suggest?"
Masro led him to a secluded place of the garden. It was surrounded on one side by high grass as tall as Kylo with a small clearing that led to a gazebo. It already had a blanket laid out and candles lit. It was next to the lake, so the moon and stars reflected and made the area very romantic.
"How did you know?" Masro asked surprised.
"I know you," he replied. She turned and kissed him slowly letting it grow until she pulled back for a breath. Masro sat down on the blanket and raised the skirt of her dress until it revealed her undergarment. Kylo knelt in front of her, watching her moves with anticipation. She slowly slid her undergarment off, while watching Kylo's face change to almost a primal instinct of lust. He unbuckled his pants to let out his hardened Manhood and could hear Masro's breath quicken. They kissed arms going everywhere, he slowly pushed her on to her back, so he was on top. He reached down to help slide himself in.
Masro gasped and tilted her head back lifting her neck. Kylo leaned in and bit it then sucked on her neck, bringing more moans from Masro. She pushed to let him know she wanted to be on top and he turned them. She had to hold her dress up in front, but she pumped up and down watching kylo watch her. He sat up with her still on top, to bring his lips to hers and one hand down to help bring her to climax.
They both felt it building, until finally it burst through both of them and they screamed their climax.
Kylo fell back and Masro on top of him. She slid off and they watched the stars for awhile. They put the candles out and walked back towards their room. When they got there Masro headed for the shower.
"Masro, I need to check status with the knights I sensed they have arrived here,"Kylo turned and left force locking the doors behind him. He marched for them in hopes of good news.
Masro paced back and forth worrying about telling Kylo the vision she had seen. She didn't know if he would be angry with her, though she had no control over her life. Masro grabbed her lightsaber, it showed so much about her that stayed hidden. Her light and dark. She sat to wait for Kylo.
Angered by the lack of good news, Kylo returned to his suite to find Masro still fully dressed sitting with her lightsaber in hand.
"My love, are you ok?" Kylo asked. Masro looked at him and he knew. He had left when she was going to take a shower. She felt vulnerable right now and he had just left. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone right now.
Masro stood and walked over to him grabbing his hands. "It's not all that. We need to talk; I wasn't entirely truthful earlier about my run. I found a chest in the rubble that survived, it had the first order symbol on it."
"What are you saying, Masro? That your family was in the first order?"
"No, only my mother. Well technically my father, but…It's better if I show you the vision it showed me," Masro pulled kylo in for what she hoped wasn't their last kiss. She pushed the vision into his head. She pulled back and avoided his eyes. They were silent for a moment.
"Cadmar Palpatine was your father." Masro nodded, still in shock. "That's why you have similar abilities."
"He wasn't just Palpatine, she called him Supreme Leader."
"Palpatine was Snoke, the abilities should have given it away." The realization sat in to Kylo's mind. He was played, his entire life.
"He was a monster, after I regained my abilities, he was already dead so many of my memories were restored, although I can feel some are still deeply locked away. Even I am not immune to mind meddling. The torture he put me through to keep my mind in chaos so I wouldn't wake."
"His own daughter…how could he…just sacrifice you like that?"
"He needed you and convinced you without him I would never wake."
"I don't care what the vision said. I control my destiny not snoke or some prophecy from long ago,"Kylo pulled Masro in his arms. "I chose to love you and protect you. I chose my path."
"You're not mad? You don't hate me for changing your path and life forever?" Masro quietly asked.
Kylo lifted Masro's face towards his and looked into her eyes.
"I love you. I could never hate you. You complete me in every way. We are destined to be together, that's all I see in this,"Kylo said comforting Masro. He leaned in to kiss her and reached around to unfasten her gown. Masro let it fall to the ground stepping out of it. She unfastened kylo's tunic and pants and knelt down to take his boots off for him. Kylo followed Masro to the bathroom to shower.
They kissed letting the water bead on them. Kylo pushed a bit of his force out and it was met by its equal wrapping around them. Masro pulled back to look at kylo and realized the force made them for each other, they would always be stronger together.
"A kiss for your thoughts."
"I was thinking that we were literally made for each other. I thought it was beautiful because we really are two halves of one soul. Does it make you wonder if we didn't grow up together would we still have found each other?"
"We would have. I know it,"kylo kissed Masro finished their shower and went to bed. They held each other and Masro laid her head down on kylo's chest. She listened to his heartbeat and its comforting rhythm. Masro slid her hand down kylo's body and listened as His heartbeat quickened.
"I guess we should just let the past die…we will kill it if we have to," Masro said looking off in the distance almost in a trance. Kylo sat up and looked at Masro shocked, quickly bringing her back to reality. "Kylo?"
"Where did you hear that?"
"To be honest, I've heard it in my dreams my entire life. Always said by a dark figure."
Kylo sat in shock, of this revelation. He had heard the same thing from his grandfather in a vision.
"Kylo you're scaring me. What's going on? What did I do?"
"Nothing," he laughed. "My grandfather said that in a vision to me. I guess he said it to you as well. We really are meant to be."
"Let's read some of his words together, my love." Kylo wrapped himself around Masro. She reached out with the force to bring Vader's journal to her, but as soon it touched her fingertips a bright light filled the room blinding them. Kylo covered Masro protecting her and held her tightly through the process. When they came to the other side of the light, they were in a very different room. Kylo took the journal from Masro. They looked around what looked to be a large storage room. It was very industrial and dimly lit.
"What happened? Where are we?" Masro asked fearfully. She looked down and realized they were now wearing clothes, but they were traditional Jedi robes. She reached and checked for a lightsaber, it was hers, not her Jedi one but hers.
"I think the journal somehow force transported us to the past, if that's even possible," Kylo said but was very unsure. He looked down at his clothes, disgusted. "Ugh, these robes. I burned ours after I destroyed the academy."
There was a noise outside the room, Masro and Kylo tried to hide but the door burst open before they could. Kylo gasped at the man that entered. He was a young man, younger than Kylo. He had long hair like Kylo and a scar over the same eye.
"Who are you?" The man held his hand up, and force pushed Masro. Kylo reached out and forced pulled Masro back to his arms. The man's face curled into an angry scowl, "Jedi."
"Wait, Anakin, Lord Vader! We are not Jedi. She is my wife; the Jedi don't allow attachments like that as you know. You are married too," Kylo spoke with an air of authority saying this, while he pushed Masro behind him. Masro grabbed Kylo's arm and peaked around him. Realizing she was looking at Kylo's Grandfather before the accident. "My name is Kylo Ren, but my given name at birth was Ben Skywalker Solo. This is my wife Masro. We were transported here after handling your journal….in the future."
"Jedi lies! You're just trying to save yourself,"Anakin yelled and lit his lightsaber.
"Read my mind or my wife's mind. You will see we are telling the truth. I am your grandson."
Anakin looked startled for a moment but reached out and scanned their minds. He saw what Kylo said was true and put his hand down. The last image he saw in Kylo's mind was that of a burnt helmet, it made Anakin's blood run cold. Kylo knelt in front of him and Masro followed out of respect.
"It is such a great honor to meet you. I have lived my adult life following your teachings."
"Adult life?"
"I sadly did not know you existed until then. My…Mother and uncle hid your existence from me."
"You, Masro, who do you follow?" Anakin pointed his lightsaber at her.
"My husband, he is my supreme leader, as he follows your teaching I follow as well."
"Please rise."
"Can I ask where we are?" Masro asked Anakin.
"Mustafar."
Masro's eyes widened and she looked at Kylo. They both knew the event that changed Vader's physical appearance was happening soon.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. We were transported here from Lake country on Naboo, so it was just shocking. Order 66 has already been executed, then you are here to tie up lose ends?"
"Yes," Anakin looked at Masro and Kylo, wanting to distrust them as some kind of trick but they seemed to know more than they were letting on. "Come with me. I have to check in with my Master."
They left the chamber and walked to the control room a short distance away. Masro and Kylo saw all the leaders that had been taken care of on the ground but paid no mind to them. They waited as Anakin spoke with the emperor, his hologram appearing before Anakin in the control room.
(*)"The Separatists are taken care of, My Master."
"It is finished, then. You have restored peace and justice to the galaxy. You have done well, Lord Vader."
"Thank you, My Master."
"Send a message to the ships of the Trade Federation. Tell them the Separatist leaders have been wiped out. Grievous and Dooku have been destroyed. All droid units must shut down immediately."
"Very good, My Lord." (*)The hologram goes blank, and he turns back towards Kylo and Masro.
"It is an honor to be present at such an important moment in galactic history, you are the true hero to the empire," Kylo said.
"Tell me Kylo, who is your Master?"
"I have no physical master. I killed my Master because he was holding me back from fulfilling my destiny, he was not you. I am the Supreme Leader of the galaxy and my wife is my second and Queen."
"My love, perhaps we should not give too much of the future away. We don't want to change anything."
Kylo turned to Masro and embraced her. "You're right my love; you always keep me balanced. I was just excited to meet my hero."
"Hero? It is good to know I inspire the future." Anakin was pacing around the control room. His cloak billowing around him.
"You do very much. Our children are named after you and grandmother, the greatest of leaders."
The mention of their children brought Masro intense sadness and anger. Anakin sensed it and his eyes flicked from Kylo to her. He froze her with the force, and she felt him in her mind again, this time he forcefully viewed her memory of her being taken, the children being born and her capture. Masro dropped to her knees when he released her. Kylo helped her up, she was a bit sullen at the mind invasion.
"My child is a monster, to do that to her grandchildren and to you. What happened to turn her against her family?"
"I can't tell you why your children turn out the way they do. It would reveal to much, we may have already ruined the future with you seeing that."
Kylo and Masro both felt the force signatures they were so used to, even though they hadn't been born yet it was the same. They both knew what was coming and needed to get out of there.
"Where's the journal?" Masro asked Kylo.
"I must have dropped it in the room we were in, I'll go get it. Stay here and be safe."
Kylo rushed off, leaving Masro alone with Anakin. He was measuring Masro up continuing pacing around the control room, she felt his mind probe but was ready this time to shut him down. He pushed his force at her, and she shielded so it reverberated back to him. Anakin jumped out of the way.
"You are very powerful with the force."
"I am," Masro said. It was a statement of fact not a question. "I was created by the force for Kylo, we are even stronger together."
"Who was your Master?"
"When I was younger, it was your son but he….betrayed kylo and I. We no longer follow the learnings of either Jedi or Sith. Kylo has transcended beyond that, as have I."
Anakin reached for his lightsaber, and Masro took a step back. He laughed a laugh that made Masro's blood run cold.
"You fear me, because I have fallen to the dark side. I am more powerful with the force than all those before me."
"No, you misunderstand. I took a step back for your protection." Masro started pulling the force into her. Anakin looked at her full of mistrust and a touch of fear. He had never felt anything quite like it.
"It's because you're a woman, you are weak and compassionate."
Kylo had just run into the room, and he heard his grandfather speak those words to Masro. Anakin saw the journal in Kylo's hands and forced pulled the journal to him. Masro was radiating anger, building her force the objects around her started shaking swirling. Several clone troopers came marching in pointing blasters at them.
"Masro, you can't kill him," Kylo ordered. He could feel the need for the force to be released. Masro's eyes flicked from Anakin to the clones.
"For you my love, anything." She pushed out her force into all of the clone troopers and they brutally screamed as they were torn apart, leaving an extremely shocked Anakin shielding himself from the blast.
"Your abilities have moved beyond mine. You are a true master of the sith," Anakin knelt in front of Masro. She grabbed the journal from him and threw it back to Kylo.
"Get up, I'm not a Sith. I told you. Please talk to Kylo about all your wisdom. I'll be back."
"Where you going, Maze?"
"To make a change, that I hope I don't regret."
Masro turned and ran towards the familiar force signatures. She ran through the factory and hit the bridge to the landing dock as Padmé's Naboo Skiff was landing. The door lowered as she waited. The fiery volcanic lava splashing around hitting the shield of the platform. Padmé came running off the ship, very pregnant and frantic looking.
"Who are you? Where's Anakin?" Padmé asked.
"It doesn't matter who I am. Anakin is fine, but he won't be if you don't get back on the ship and take Obi-Wan with you and leave. Please."
"Obi-Wan is not with me. I came alone."
Masro dropped to her knees, she took her lightsaber off and slid it to Padmé. She meant it as a sign of peace, but she just looked more frightened.
"Lady Skywalker, Yes, I know. Please think of the children you have inside you. Right now, they are more important than your heart. I, too, am a mother, and have known great loss, please confront him but not on this planet. Not today."
Obi-Wan walked off the ship at that moment. Padmé turned because she saw Masro's eyes flick to him.
"Why did you follow me, Obi-Wan? We need to leave; we will have to confront him another time."
"No, she is playing a Sith trick on you."
"If I were, I would not have given my weapon to her. I could have force manipulated her into leaving, but I did not. If you don't get on that ship now, Anakin Skywalker will die today, I have seen it."
Masro felt Obi-Wan search her thoughts and she let him see, he nodded and allowed Padmé to pass him as she boarded the ship. The door closed behind them; tears fell from Masro's eyes. As they took off, she felt her force leaving her. Kylo stumbled grabbing his chest, nearly falling to the floor. Anakin rushed to help him.
"Masro," Kylo whispered. "Somethings wrong, I can't feel her force."
He knew she must have gone to confront Padmé, Kylo ran towards the force signatures that seemed to be getting further away, Anakin followed. When they reached the landing dock Masro was laying on the ground. Kylo kneeled beside her and pulled her into his arms.
"I did it. You will have the childhood you deserved. Anakin….is….saved," she was having a hard time breathing.
"No, no, no. Why did you do that? I need you. You said you would always be by my side!" Kylo screamed in grief as Masro closed her eyes and took her last breath. With out the events that happened the force never created Masro for him. Rage filled Kylo along with it the force built up like he had never felt it before. He saw they tiny shiny ship flying away and reached out with everything he had and pulled it back, a terrible scream filled the air as kylo pushed the force beyond anything he had tried before. Slowly he was able to bring it back to the landing pad, fighting him the entire way. He dropped back to his knees, Masro was still not breathing.
The ship opened, Padmé ran back off. She saw Anakin and ran to him. They embraced and looked at kylo and Masro.
"I'm sorry, Anakin. This woman said you would die if I didn't leave right then. She was so sincere that I needed to make sure I wasn't the cause. What has happened?"
"They changed the future, and the force needed balance."
Obi-Wan descended the ramp, towards the group. He saw Masro being hugged by a distraught Kylo, his eyes flicked toward Anakin thinking he took her out for sending them away.
"Are you here to kill me Obi-Wan?" Anakin asked seeing him emerge from the ship.
Kylo scooped Masro up.
"Wait, she gave me this." Padmé placed Masro's lightsaber on her body.
"Thank you, I'm happy to get to meet you. I'm sorry for this."
Tears were escaping Kylo's eyes. He reached out and force choked her to keep the event unchanged, kylo made sure Anakin was busy fighting and didn't see him complete this task. He ran back towards the control room and laid Masro on the hologram table. Kylo planned to let events play out the way they were supposed to but expected Masro to return to him when the ship landed. He watched a moment as Anakin rushed to Padmé and screamed at Obi-wan, then as Anakin and Obi-wan truly began their fateful battle. He longed to go out and help him. Kylo turned back towards Masro.
"Masro? Please, please come back. I need you. I would not be the leader or man I am today without you."
He knew it was only a matter of time before his memories of her started to fade if the change was not reversed properly, so he did the only thing he could think of. He kissed her and pushed his force into her all the time pleading with the force to bring her back to him. Masro breathed back to life with a gasp for air, bringing Kylo back to reality.
"Masro, my love," Kylo let his tears flow as he was so happy, she had come back to him. He didn't even notice her frightened and distant demeanor. Kylo grabbed the journal while holding Masro and the blinding light hit again. When it cleared, they were in their suite again. He threw the journal and kissed Masro deeply, but she held back, she flinched when he touched her. It became clear that something was very wrong. "What's wrong Masro?"
She pulled away from him and looked at him with haunted eyes, before tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Is….it really…you?" Masro finally said.
"Of course, it's me. Masro you're scaring me." Kylo rushed up to Masro, but she backed up.
"The force punished me for trying to change the past." She turned and walked out to the balcony, Kylo quickly followed.
"What do you mean? Everything returned to normal."
"Not for me. I was forced to watch as you lived the life, I created for you. Locked away where nobody could touch me or speak to me. I lived for years alone chained up, just watching you, grow up…." Masro stopped as more tears fell. She turned away from Kylo. "I had to watch as you fell in love with another woman, marry her, make love to her and have children. Do you know the worst part?"
"Masro, it's fixed. It didn't happen. I married you, I love you. You're here with me," Kylo said ignoring Masro's question. She just stared at him; he didn't understand.
"Kylo, you are not listening to me! I lived nearly thirty years in this time. It's been nearly thirty years since I have even been spoken to or touched by another. I tried to kill myself, but the force wouldn't let me. Why did I try? Because I had to watch as you fell in love with Rey! Her! Why her?! How did you not know I was missing?! We're supposed to be soul mates!"
Masro's rage was shaking just under her skin, if Kylo didn't stop her she would bring Varykino down. He kissed her, the quickest way he knew to calm her. She melted in his arms and began crying as they sank to the floor. He just held her letting her cry. Kylo touched her temple and viewed her memory, then held Masro tighter.
"What was the point of sending us back? It accomplished nothing. It only brought pain. Do you love her?" Masro asked looking up at Kylo.
"No, I never loved her. There was a time I was weak an allowed our interaction but no there was no love. It was about power. I don't know the point of sending us back, but I don't think it was entirely useless though. I asked his strategy about how he would go about getting our children back."
Kylo leaned down and kissed Masro. She tried not to flinch as her mental state was still adjusting to the fact she was back in her normal time.
"I want to touch you everywhere. Let you know how I feel about you," Kylo picked Masro up and headed back into the room. He gently stood her up and they undressed, tossing their clothing into the burning fire in the fireplace. Kylo helped lower Masro to the rug in front of the fireplace and began by softly caressing his hand from her face down her body. She brought her hand up and turned his face to look at hers. Masro searched Kylo's eyes and found what she sought, acceptance and love. She brought his lips to hers and they kissed while Kylo explored her body with his hands, only releasing their lips so he could move in between her legs and enter her.
Masro watched the reflection of the flames on his body as he thrust in and out of her. Kylo continued to caress and kiss different part of her. She arched her back as Kylo's thrust became rougher. He bent down to kiss her breast and bite them. Making Masro's lips quiver. She felt her build up and wanted his inside her. Masro turned them, and kylo grabbed her hips as Masro rode him. She bent and kissed him, and he moved his hands up to her breast. She pushed back and roughly rode him till they bellowed their climax. Masro fell on Kylo, gasping for breath. He wrapped his arms around her, and they just laid there listening to each other's breath and enjoying the touch of one another.
They showered and returned to bed. Masro decided to try and read Vader's journal. She turned back to kylo who was asleep. Masro made herself comfortable to read till she fell asleep making sure they were not touching. She skipped through the journal, finding a page she thought was interesting. It soon became apparent that it was about her and Kylo. It told of a prophecy that would bring a being that was very powerful, more powerful than any before. Born to bring the savior of the galaxy on the right path. She realized why they were sent back; it was so Vader would write this passage. They created their life after all, they were in charge of their destiny. She sat the journal on her nightstand, turning to hug kylo and soon fell asleep.
