Snoke growled as he reached out to his apprentice.
"The Mighty Kylo Ren..."
Kylo felt his master's voice echo in his mind and furrowed his brow as he let his master invade his mind "When I found you...I saw what all masters lived to see. Raw untamed power" The voice was mocking and Kylo felt chills roll around his back as he felt something threatening to come up inside him as years of abandonment and distrust slowly sifted through his mind.
"The potential of your bloodline. A new Vader. Now I fear... I was mistaken."
"I have given everything I have to you. To the Dark Side"
"And yet here you are. Prisoner of the enemy without fighting back. You have too much of your father's heart"
Kylo Ren bit the inside of his mouth till he tasted the metallic taste of his blood. Reyna stopped from her chat with a resistance member as her gaze shifted towards the room where Kylo Ren was in.
"What's wrong?"
Benji asked. Reyna didn't say anything but immediately shot up from her seat and ran towards the room. Benji chuckled nervously at the concerned looks he received "Don't worry, something must be wrong with her stomach. This usually happens in a girl's life" A few women close to him blushed and slapped his side while the men guffawed and patted his shoulder.
Benji quickly excused himself, blushing slightly as he followed after his sister.
Reyna pushed opened the door and stared straight towards a surprised Kylo Ren. "Get away from him!" Kylo heard Snoke scream out in pain as white noise suddenly entered his ears.
He hissed and closed his eyes before something warm bubbled out within him. The mocking voices were gone and so was the pain. He stared at Reyna who stared at him in shock and worry before succumbing to sleep.
"What the kriff were you doing?" Benji hissed as he pulled Reyna away from a sleeping Kylo Ren. "I heard father crying. I couldn't just stand by" Reyna muttered.
Another Force Problem.
Benji bit himself lightly to avoid saying something he shouldn't. He knew his family loved him and didn't treat him any less than Kyle and Reyna but the fact that they were in a whole different world than him. A world where they see things differently made him wonder why ever was he even born.
"Did anything happen?"
"I made contact with him" Reyna answered. Benji's stomach rolled "What?!" He shouted, loud enough for a few resistance members to turn their heads to them in confusion.
Reyna slapped him in the chest "Yes, I did and be quiet! Someone might hear!" Reyna hissed "I'm sorry, I thought we made it clear not to blurt something out in the future or else risking the timeline than it already is..."
She added sarcastically. Benji rolled his eyes. "Did he notice you?" Reyna pondered for a moment before shaking her head "He was more surprised of my presence there than checking to see who it was that just entered"
"Try not to do that again. The last thing we need is Smoke face breathing down our necks, well...minds in this case"
"His name is Snoke Benji"
"Doesn't matter. His face would be better covered in Smoke anyways..."

If there was one thing Chewie and Kyle had in common right now in this situation...
Sheer absolute frustration
Chewie had found comfort in taking care of the Falcon that was already becoming one of the Porgs favorite nesting areas.
Specifically where the wires are located.
At least the big guy had something to vent on.
Meanwhile, Kyle had followed Rey who followed Luke Skywalker going on his daily chores even when it was raining.
"Careful!" Rey screamed when Luke suddenly vaulted to the other side of a cliff with nothing but a very long and sturdy rod to lift him there.
Rey relaxed before suddenly feeling embarrassed that she was worried over nothing.
They followed him as he carried over the fish back home for a meal when Kyle saw Rey stop and turn. His gaze followed her line of sight. An old tree stood within the shadows.
At first, he didn't know what was so special about it when he heard them.
The voices of the Jedi.
Kyle walked towards the shadow of the tree as did Rey. Luke stared at them as they walked almost dazedly at the tree.
Rey entered the hollow entrance while Kyle stared transfixed at the tree. Touching the bark, he felt them. The jedi.
No.
Kyle frowned and sensed deeper. There was something here...something way beyond the time of the Old Jedi.
A hand on his shoulder snapped him back out of his state. He jerked around to face Luke Skywalker with a grim look on his face. Kyle opened his mouth to say something but found nothing to say.
He never visited Ahch-To and never heard of a tree in his mother's stories. She must have either left this out or this is new.
"Who are you?" Luke asks and Kyle stared at him blankly before shaking his head. He can't tell anyone, they've done enough damage being here.
"Just someone that knows you too much..."
Kyle said. Luke stared at Kyle for another few seconds before turning to the direction of where Rey is currently inside the tree. Kyle breathed a sigh of relief, that was too close.
He could only hope that him being here might make things quicker for him and Rey to bring Luke back to the Resistance. If that failed, Kyle can always knock the old man unconscious and Chewie can carry and dump his sorry ass in the Flacon, problem solved.
For now he's going to just sit and wait this out until opportunity arises.
~oOo~
Snoke sat in his throne room with a contemplating look on his face. Solo's son was just about to give in to his rage that would make it easier for Snoke to twist it directly to somewhere else when he was immediately assaulted by a burning bright light that burned him inside out.
He hissed as he clenched his fist, the phantom sensation still ringing in his mind. Had he not pulled away quickly, this new adversary would have easily fried his brain from a distance.
Is that even possible.
"I see that she has already made her move" Snoke's head snapped up to the new voice and felt himself grin as the newcomer stood in front of him but didn't make an effort to bow down.
"I told you. These three will be far more deadly than Skywalker. Kill the girl and Ren, and the galaxy will just be an easy target."
