Jaycen and Crause continue their duel until the two end up near the bottom level of the core. It's a jet black room only illuminated by a reinforced window showing the eerie and lonely sun and the green and red clash of their sabers, while the smoke and fog surround them. They fight on the left side of the gigantic room with the middle being a bottomless pit.
Jaycen continues his barrage of slices but Crause is able to parry all of his efforts and force push Jaycen back. The two breathed heavily trying to regain as much stamina as they could. They both keep their eyes locked onto each other waiting for one of them to make the move. "I didn't want things to end up like this Jaycen, we were supposed to rule the galaxy together." Crause said while gasping for air. "I'm sorry to disappoint you… Cody but I can't forget what you have done." Jaycen said, trying not to shout because it would make him more tired. The two men continue to stand there not knowing how they will take the other out because one wrong move from either one of them could be the final move of the duel.
Crause grunt as he takes his left hand and touches his hip, which has been slash by Jaycen's lightsaber earlier in their battle, however this reminds him that both of them have sustained injuries throughout their battle. The sith looks at Jaycen and sees that his left eye has swollen shut thanks to the cut he received when Crause hurled metal plates at him, this gives Crause an idea which could decide the end of this battle. Crause quickly raises his left arm and shoots a very powerful force lightning,that lights up the entire room, at Jaycen. He tries to block the bolt of lightning but it's stronger than he expected and it almost pushes him off into the dark pit. It takes all of Jaycen's strength to hold off the blast but Jaycen was able to do it, with his green blade seeming to be even brighter than before.
However after Jayce regains his footing, he plans to lunge at Crause again but when he looks to where Crause was he's nowhere in sight, but before Jaycen could take another breath. He begins to feel a burning pain in his right shoulder. While Jaycen was distracted by Crause's lighting blast, Crause ran to Jaycen's blind side and stabbed Jaycen in the shoulder with his blood colored saber. Jaycen reactivity drops his saber but before he could even comprehend what's happening Jaycen is force pushed with his back into the railing.
Crause breaths heavy as he almost falls over in exhaustion. Crause takes a look at Jaycen who still tries to stand up by pulling himself up with the rail bars. Crause stands up and slowly walks towards the young man. "Just stop it Jaycen, it's over you have lost." Crause said quietly as he watched Jaycen still try to get up, Crause sighs as he grabs onto Jaycen's shirt and pulls him up so they could see each other face to face but Jaycen still doesn't even have the strength to lift his head. Crause Continues to watch the limp body. "I'm sorry, apprentice, that you chose this path." Crause solemnly said before swinging his lightsaber down at Jaycen's head, but before it could make contact, Jaycen is able to move his head up all the way to look at Crause face to face. Crause then hesitates for merely a second but that's all that Jaycen needs as he starts to feel a new sense of power flow in his body as he grabs onto Crause's hand and starts to crush it. Crause is left speechless as he starts to feel the weight of the new power that Jaycen is producing and he falls to his knees. Jaycen then slowly grabs the cross guard saber from Crause and points it right at Crause's chest. "Don't be sorry now Cody, you're the one who put me on this path." Jaycen said before stabbing Crause in the chest.
All Crause could do was gasp as he puts his hand on Jaycen's shoulder and looks at his old apprentice, Jaycen pulls the saber out and Crause's body falls over,dead.
Ben and everyone were discussing their next move. "Han, if this works we'll not have enough time to get Jaycen." Ben said. "We'll get him." Han said. "How can you be so sure?" Ben asked. Han pointed to Jaycen at the lower level of the core fighting Darth Crause. "We've got to go help him." Ben said as the group ran to help him. They get there just as Jaycen looks over Darth Crause's dead body. Ben, Jade, and Chewie stand on the middle deck while Han runs down to Jaycen. "Jaycen!" Han yelled trying to get his attention. Jaycen turns off his new lightsaber and turns to see his father. Jaycen and Han continue to walk towards each other "Come on son, let's go home." Han said. "I can't." Jaycen said "Why?" Han asked. "They won't let me." Jaycen said, almost crying. Ben then felt a pain in his chest that hurt him so bad that it brought him to his knees. "Ben, what's wrong?" Jade asked, trying to comfort him. Ben just shakes his head. "Whatever it is, son. We will fight this together." Han said. Han noticed Jaycen was holding Crause's lightsaber instead of his own. "The first thing we can do is you give me that." Han said pointing to the saber. Jaycen looked down and lifted the saber up for Han to take it. Han grabs it and Jaycen, still not letting go, says "I just want this pain to end." "Please let go, son." Han pleaded "I know what I have to do. I just don't know if I have the strength to do it." Jaycen said "It will be ok son." Han said, smiling at him. Jaycen closed his eyes and stabbed Han in the heart with the red saber. Chewie roared angrily. "No!" Ben yelled. Han barely breathing touched his son's face one last time and falls over the railing to his death. Jaycen opened his eyes and revealed them to be sith yellow.
Ben jumped down to the lower railing and ignited his blue lightsaber. Jaycen looks up moves in an attack formation. Ben charges at him and swings his saber from all directions trying to catch Jaycen off guard, Jaycen easily picking up on what he's trying to do blocks all the attacks. Ben has enough and elbows Jaycen on the left side of his face. "Ahh" Jaycen muttered. Jaycen switches his style putting Ben on defense. Ben easily blocks all of Jaycens attacks until Jaycen kicks him out of the core room to the outside of the base. Jaycen then slashes Ben's left arm leaving a nasty wound. Jaycen switches back to defense while Ben lands some pretty heavy power blows with his saber, weakening Jaycen and gaining the upper hand. Jaycen realizes that he's losing and force pushes Ben back against a tree and pulls out his green saber. Ben gets up and pulls out Anakin's lightsaber. "Yeah I can do that too." Ben said as he looked at his cousin with determination and twriled the sabers. The two charged at each other continuing their duel.
Poe and the red team are still trying to blow up the core. "I'm going to try and go in from the inside." Poe said "I'm right behind you Poe." R4 said as he followed Poe through the inside. A bunch of tie fighters were waiting for them as they charged in and were able to take most of them out finally Poe saw an open window. "R4 on my ready, take the shot on the southeast side." Poe said. R4 looks and sees where Poe is aiming and gets ready to fire "Now!" Poe said both Poe and R4 took the shot which blew up the core causing most of the forest to catch on fire. "Everyone retreat no-" Poe was cut off from saying as he was hit on his left side. "Deploy. Deploy. Deploy!" Poe yelled hitting the deploy button sending him and BB-8 out of the now destroyed X-wing. "Ah Dammit." Poe said as he crashed landed and broke his leg. "Ben.. Jade anybody copy?" Poe asked on comms. "I copy" Jade said, running towards the Falcon. "I need help immediately. My ship has been hit and I was forced to deploy myself and BB-8 and we have crash landed near the southwest part of the building and I think my leg is broken." Poe said "Stay right where you are, we're coming near you." Jade said. They continued running until they found Poe and a damaged BB-8 "Chewie help Poe up. Come on you two, we have to get to the Falcon now." Jade said as the group continued to make their way to the Falcon.
Ben jumped in the air swinging both sabers down on Jaycen. Jaycen, using all of his strength, pushes Ben back and then throws his green saber towards Ben, Ben side flips to dodge the attack and lands. "Don't make me destroy you, Ben. You're no match for the dark side." Jaycen said as he twirled his sabers. "I've heard that before, Jaycen… but never thought I'd hear it from you." Ben said as swung at Jaycen. Jaycen was able to block the attack and destroy Ben's lightsaber in the process leaving Ben with only Anakin's lightsaber. Ben and Jaycen then continue to swing their sabers from all directions, finally meeting in the middle. They both put a hand out and try to force push one another but end up pushing each other back. They regain their footing and the battle continues, Ben kicks Jaycen away. Ben forces Jaycen to exit the woods and into open snowland. Jaycen the strikes at Ben while in the background the entire station had exploded causing Ben and Jaycen to retreat back to the woods and take cover behind some trees. The two look at one another and see a crack in the ground separating the two. Ben just looked at his cousin like he didn't even recognize him and Jaycen looked at Ben with pure hatred. "This is the end for you, cousin." Jaycen said as he jumped over to Ben's side. Continuing the duel both swinging their sabers back and forth clashing into one another causing them to fall back into a creek behind them and continue battling in the freezing water. Ben looks behind him and sees a hill and he dodges a swing from Jaycen then back flips onto the hill. "It's over Jaycen. I have the high ground." Ben said with his arms out. "You underestimate the dark side." Jaycen said. "Don't try it." Ben said. With that Jaycen jumps up and tries to land behind Ben but is met with a lightsaber that cuts off his arms and legs causing him to fall down the hill and back into the water and is met with the same fate as his grandfather. Ben turned his lightsaber off and looked away from Jaycen and started crying as Jaycen was moaning in pain. Ben looks back at him.
"Why did you make me do this Jaycen! It's destined for us to destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring back the balance of the force.. not to keep it blinded by darkness!" Ben yelled."I Hate You!" Jaycen screamed at Ben, his yellow eyes practically glowing. Ben with tears falling down his face "You were like my brother Jaycen, I loved you." Ben said. Jaycen continued screaming in pain trying to move, Ben just looked at him breaking his heart down to pieces as his closest family member was in pain. Ben couldn't take it anymore as he turned up the hill and grabbed Jaycens green lightsaber and looked back at him one more time before limping away leaving Jaycen to die.
