Rey waited with Leia in the camp, they were on the outskirts. They chose this spot because no one ever really came out here to do anything, it was mostly for them to have privacy when training.

They had been waiting on Finn, who was probably close to them, it was a bit of a walk to get from their camp quarters to the edge, where they had been waiting.

Rey told Leia about Finn, after he told her that he was force sensitive, of course Rey had her suspicions about him. She had a feeling about him through the force. Leia said she had known about it, she knew from the start, well mostly, she was just wasn't sure until now.

"You know this gives us more hope, once we are ready to announce it to the fighters they will be ecstatic." Leia said softly. She was sitting on a flat rock, looking over to Rey. She was distant, she couldn't help but think about the night before."Rey?"

"I heard you." She turned to the general."That's if Finn is able to tap into the force and use it like I can in time. Don't forget we only have one lightsaber."

"True, but I am sure in time he will get his own. It also isn't just about lightsabers."

Leia had too much confidence in her, it was too much pressure for the young woman. "The more force weilders we have on our side won't make a difference. The First Order is far too strong for us, we have become weaker since the last battle." Rey look down to the hilt of the saber attached to her belt.

It was true, everyone knew it. They had taken a big hit last time. With her knowledge of Snoke dead, the new supreme leader was sure to be as worse as his long dead master. Kylo Ren would stop at nothing to find them, to find her.

Stop. She couldn't help but have her thoughts travel to the events of last night. She shook her head and looked up, forcing a smile as she saw Finn approach from behind Leia.

"Sorry, I was helping Poe carrying supplies to the storage rooms." He gave both women an apologetic smile.

"Don't worry you didn't miss anything." Rey said.

Kylo walked the halls of the star destroyer, heading straight to the bridge. Dressed in his normal threatening attire. His new helmet, which he had welded back into one whole piece again, since he had smashed it from being taunted by Snoke.

Those events never really left his brain, what he had done for Rey. He did it to prove he didn't need to be bossed around, to prove there was more to him than obeying orders of the darkside, but maybe it was too much for her.

Kylo was snapped out of his thoughts as he rounded a corner, several stormtroopers bumbed into him. The first frooze in their place after looking up and realizing who they had ran into.

"Supreme Leader I-" Kylo cut him off before he could speak.

"What must be so important for you lot to be bumbing around into people?" He asked in a harsh tone. He saw the person in the back take a step back, the others looked away."Well?"

"Its uh-Well we have recieved orders from General Hux." The trooper shifted back a step to clear the space between him and their leader.

"What orders?" He narrowed his eyes behind his mask, clenching his fist as he released a growl.

The troopers body began to sweat excessively."General Hux had received news that the rest of the resistance was hiding on the jungle moon of Ajan Kloss." He paused as he saw his leader tense up and look him dead in the mask." We are supposed to be heading to the hangar to send out the next wave."

"Next wave?!" He force pushed the troopers back down the hall they came from, then he stormed off down the hall, passing them as they scrambled back to their feet.

He wasn't far from the command bridge, which made it better for him. He hadn't even been informed about this information, yet he should've known Hux was going to do something like this.

He rounded a corner and found himself cutting his way through the doors to the bridge. All eyes were on him. He could sense the entire crew of the bridge tense up, they feared him in these times.

"Hux!" His eyes landed on the ginger general standing only a few feet from him.

"Supreme Leader." He said as calmly as possible.

"Why was I not informed on the location of the resistance base?!" He held out his hand and brought the general down to his knees."Issuing an assult without my consent." Kylo growled as Hux grunted for an answer.

"Answer me!"

Hux closed his eyes and breathed so he could ignore the pain shooting through his body." I did not think-gah- I needed permission-" He weezed as the pressure increased on his stomach." The girl who murdered the great Snoke, she is there with the resistance and must be killed for her actions." Hux ignored the death gaze by looking to the floor.

Kylo force pushed the general backwards into the wall, Hux gave a scream of pain as his back came into contact with a corner.

"How many waves have been sent?" He demanded, looking around to the others for answers.

"Three, we sent bombers first, and are now sending out two waves of troops." One spoke up, but he did not dare look at his Supreme Leader.

The man was furious."Get my ship ready! If any harm comes to the girl, you all will be getting a punishment!"

"But Supreme Leader," Hux groaned." She-"

Kylo force choked him."You have your orders Hux! From now on any attacks must be put through me before anyone is sent out!"

"Finn you are not completely ready to jump right into force training."Leia said shaking her head in the process.

Rey stood by a tree holding her staff in hand and the saber at her side. She could sense the disappointment coming from her friend, he was disappointed in himself.

"Rey did." He mumbled as he opened his eyes from his cross-legged sitting position.

Leia glanced at the young woman near her." Well not every force sensitive person has the same traits. Rey is different then you, she learns quicker."

Rey shrugged when Finn looked at her. She couldn't come up with a confident answer to add to it, but she couldn't.

"I guess you-" Rey paused and looked up, she heard something, whatever it was it wasn't a friendly noise. She walked forward and waited. There is was again, she spun around to look up in the sky.

Finn stood up in a panic from his friends reaction, looking from Leia to Rey, he took her side to follow her gaze."First Order bombers, they found us!"

"We have to warn the others," Rey turned.

Leia shook her head."Go," She pointed from the direction they all had came from. Rey nodded.

"Finn get her somewhere safe then get to the Falcon, I will tell the others." Rey took off in a sprint when she knew they would be okay, for now. She had a strong grip on her staff.

It was a short run for her since she gave her all to get their the quickest, luckily she ran into Poe, literally.

"Woah easy there Rey." Poe said as they both managed to stay on their feet."Why are you in a hurry?"

Rey gasped for air before she spoke. She pointed up into the sky."Bombers, they found us! Everyone needs to evacuate or prepare to fight or else this is gonna be a short one!"

Heads from all directions turned to the young womans outburst. Poe followed her hand and saw the incoming threat. He looked around,"You heard the woman, warn the others. Pilots to your ships now and intercept those bombers before they manage to blow us to pieces!" They all dropped their daily tasks in an instant and began to alert those who didn't hear the message, pilots and their droid units entering their x-wings ready to protect their base.

"BB-8 go ahead and get her warmed up for me," Poe instructed his little friend, his droid didn't hesitate to take off. Both Poe and Rey started to jog to his ship."Where's General Leia? Is she safe?"

Rey nodded," Finn is getting her to safety, they thought it was smart to have me alert everyone. Once she is in a secure place Finn is gonna board the Falcon with Chewie to give the bombers something to shoot at."

"Good, we will need all the time we can get to get every ship we have in the air, what about you?" He stopped at his fighter."Are you going with them?"

Rey hesitated as she looked down at her saber attached to her belt. She would do no good up in the air, if they sent troop carriers down she would be needed to stay on the ground."I am staying here incase any carriers make it past you guys, I'll be our best chance at a ground war."

She gave Poe a reassuring smile before he climbed into the cockpit of his ship, giving her a nod as. He put on hos helmet and took off.

Rey looked around to find the Falcon, she saw Chewie running to board it with Finn hot on his tail. That was good, hopefully Finn can blow anything up before they get into zone to bomb.

"We have incoming!" One said as he abandoned his ship right as his exploded into a thousand pieces, throwing him far from the spot. It was too late.

Rey stumbled backwards from the blast. They were already here, in the distance she saw two First Order troop carriers landing. Infront of those two one had already landed and stormtroopers were pouring out from the back.

She ran towards them not even realizing the armed resistance fighters running with her to defend their base. They gave battle cries as they engaged in combat. The resistance fighter who had been holding their ground began to move up when they saw Rey and the others coming to aid them.

"Keep their fire away from the ships, we need to give our fighters time to take to the skies!" She shouted as she ignited her lightsaber.Rey started deflecting blaster shots back at the stormtroopers.

Whenever she came close to any of them she put the lightsaber right through their chest even if she hated killing so much, they were going to die anyway either from the resistance fighters or her.

She scanned the area to see who needed her help. Her heart skippes a beat when she saw several resistance fighters struggling to hold their ground. She started towards them counting how many stormtroopers there were to eliminate. Yet she came to a halt after laying her eyes on a tall figure emerging from the black ship that had landed. She knew that mask, that newly built mask and that attire the figure wore.

Rey.

She felt the dyad, their force connection. She watched as the figure looked around at his own surroundings. He was looking for her, no doubt about it.

Rey used all of her strength to block him out, this was no time to become emotional, it was hard enough watching resistance soldiers fall. She couldn't let Kylo Ren's presence get to her again.

"Kylo Ren is here , we need immediate back up!" An officer called into his radio. She saw the color from his face drain the more he watched the hooded figure approach the defending soldiers.

She knew she had to do something and she definitely didn't want to do it, but knowing she is the only one present who can approach and fight him without dying straight away, she started forward. Her pace quickened to the sprint she had earlier when the trio had originally spotted the incoming threat.

He had not seen her yet, he was busy with the blasts firing at him, good thing she was coming from behind him. Using all of her weight and force, Rey slammed her shoulder into his back making him stumbled forward.

Kylo recovered himself by swinging around with his lightsaber barely hitting Rey. She took a breath in as she felt the air touch the open wound on her forearm.

The Supreme Leader of the First Order took in the sight he saw before him, he had not seen Rey in person since they broke Luke's saber which she was using now. She fixed it, he noted to himself.

His eyes looked her up and down memorizing every curve and detail about her.

Wait, it was happening again. Those emotions he had buried deep inside him were coming back. Those in which he wished to feel again but why was he resisting them?

"What do you want?" Rey growled. She did her best to not become distracted by her own feelings towards the man before her. The open cut stung as she moved her arm.

He looked down at what he did to her. Somehow in his mind he did not even sense her approaching, even through their force dyad.

"You blocked me out again." He said in a low tone.

"I don't need you in my head all the time." Rey swung her blade around and tried to hit him from the right side but he blocked it, forcing her back.

"Let me speak." Kylo said.

From behind two fighters were hurrying to help defend off the incoming stormtroopers. Finn and Chewie, they had taken out most of the tie-fighters and bombers and decided to land for the sake of the Falcon.

It had taken severe hits when they lead a good portion of the First Order's fighters away from the soldiers on the ground. They ingored the blast they blew up an near by control shack and kept moving forward.

"Talk?!" Rey stepped backwards but she kept her lightsaber up to defend herself from any surprise attacks. She watched his movements carefully. He was doing the same thing that she did.

"I tried to get to you through our dyad, but you have been blocking me out." He stated. He deflected a blast shot by swinging his saber behind his back without taking his eyes off of Rey.

"I didn't want to talk, besides why on earth would you try to warn me about your attack?"

Kylo shook his head." General Hux authorized this attack the second he received news about the resistance base location." His eyes looked to her forearm, the cut was seeping blood from her movement. How dare he hurt her. He should've known that the only one brave enough to approach him was Rey.

"Is that all you have to say?" Rey's energy blocking out Kylo started to fade, it was that or be drained of her fighting energy.

He sensed her uncertainty with her as he began to reconnect through the force."Stop blocking me out." He pleaded, and if Rey's ears worked, she could've sworn he said please at the end.

He fixed his posture by standing a little more straight up. Using one hand to loosen his helmet and take it off. The cool air brushing against his pale face made his air start to flow in the wind.

Rey's eyes looked at his face. Nothing but regret, pain, torment, anger, and hatred were written all over his expression. The bags under his eyes looked so much worse in person.

"Ben..." Her heart ached for him. He longed to be free of the pain that tormented him, she was the only one he felt who understood the feeling of being abandoned and left to defend themselves.

This was his only hope, if he couldn't do it by himself then Rey was his only hope.

His eyes locked with hers making her heart ache more. Kylo was scared and angry."I can't help you." Rey said softly."You refuse to let me in now, ever since I rejected your hand."

He stayed silent and took in her features again, his armed hand lowered his saber. Rey mirrored his movements. Kylo dropped his helmet into the soil and he took a step forward.

"No, don't do this again Ben. I can't handle these emotions." She nearly whispered it. The crystal clear tears forming in the young womans eyes proved that statement. If only there was an easier way to fix this, but unfortunately there wasn't.

"I feel the light pulling me over." Kylo said his eyes closing as if to feel it. Rey noticed his bottim lip quiver, he was resisting his feelings."The equal of the darkside pulling me, its tearing me apart from the inside and I cannot control it."

"The only one who can help you now is you, Ben." He opened hos eyes at the sound of his birth name being said from the girl he admired. He saw the tears running down her face slowly." If you refuse to let it take over I cannot help you."

Finn and Chewie made their way over to where Rey and Kylo were. They had been dealing with stormtroopers from the otherside. They spotted the two very close to each other.

Every other soldier, both resistance and First Order seemed to have an interest in the interaction between the two.

Kylo was standing way to close for Finn's own comfort. He stopped himself and Chewie.

"Let me try that." Finn gritted his teeth as he took the powerfull crossbow from the wookie warrior, he handed him his blaster. Finn aimed in on Kylo,"Eat this you murderous bastard!"

Within the shot from the crossbow everything seemed have slowwed down for Rey. Both of them heard Finns threat and they both looked towards the former stormtrooper. Without hesitation Rey walked in front of the blast, but she didn't have time block it with her lightsaber.

She screamed in pain as she felt the searing pain make contact with her upper shoulder on the side, more towards her back. It blistered her skin and burned away the fresh layers in an instant. Even with all that pain, the force of it threw her back against Kylo, sending him backwards and Rey to the ground. She was knocked out from the impact.

"REY!" Finn's hoarse voice echoed through the area. It the last thing she heard before becoming unconsious.
