Welcome. Now you will see two songs in here. The first one is from the Villain's Lair series by Pattycake Productions, which you should go check out. The second is "Space Between". I used the movie version and not the extended version from the soundtrack because the second verse that was cut out of the movie focuses on Mal staying on the Isle of which I felt didn't fit. I own neither song. Plus, Solo pops back into the story. Yeah. Enjoy!

A little while after Ben went downstairs, Mal felt something. Like something took the air out of her lungs. Like she couldn't breathe for a few seconds. And all she could think about was Ben. Like he was in danger. She heard the dark creepy voice laughing in her head. She looked over and saw Evie, Carlos, and Jay walking through the door as Evie said, "Ben's been captured. By Uma's crew." Mal felt her heart stop. "Ben," Mal thought. She felt tears starting to well up in her eyes, but she held down her sadness and turned to glare at her friends and said, "If you guys never would have brought him here, this never would have happened. What were you thinking?" "He was gonna come with or without us," Evie replied. "We just wanted to protect him." "Yeah," Carlos added. "And we completely blew it." "OK," Jay said. "So what are we gonna do?" "We are not doing anything," Mal said. "This is between Uma and me, and she's a punk. And guess what, now I have to go get him." "Whoa, whoa, whoa," Carlos said. "Mal, you're still gonna have to go through Harry Hook and his wharf rats." "Yeah," Jay added. "You're gonna need us." "Uma said to come alone," Mal said. "Mal, come on," Evie said, but Carlos stopped her by saying, "She said to come alone. I know one thing, I'm not going anywhere." Carlos sat down on a couch as Jay sighed and said, "We'll be here when you get back." Mal grabbed her jacket and walked out of the hideout.

Uma smiled with glee as Harry and his goons carried Ben's unconscious body to her. "One king for delivery," Harry said. "Good work, Harry," Uma said. "Did you deliver my message?" "Indeed," Harry said. "Mal will meet you at the Chip Shoppe. To discuss terms." "Good to hear," Uma said. "Now, go. I'll meet up with you later." Harry nodded and left, the goons he took with him staying to guard King Ben. Uma knelt down to Ben and turned his face towards her. "I can see why Mal could like him," Uma thought. "He is handsome. And mysterious." "Yes," the voice from the amulet said. "There is something about this boy King. Something that makes him different. Be cautious of him. We need to see what makes him special." Uma hummed as she stood up and walked to her mother's restaurant, her goons staying to watch over Ben.

Ben woke up groggy as he looked around. The Force spirits were around him. Ben looked down and saw that he was in his Ben Solo form. "Your body's still knocked out, kid," Han said. "Whatever that creep who jumped you had you breathe in was strong." "Well," Ben said as he stood up, shaking out his black hair. "It wasn't magic. It was chloroform. Chemicals like that can still affect me like a normal person. But I should have sensed it coming. I got too distracted from sensing whatever Sith thing is here on the Isle. And it's worse than I feared." "Indeed," Luke said. "Whatever that thing is, it's making the Force even more limited here than we thought. Like it's trying to absorb the limited amounts of it that gets through the barrier. But why?" "Whatever the case," Leia said. "We need to figure out how Ben is going to get out of this." "Well," Padme suggested. "Why can't he just astral project himself, then levitate his body back to Mal and the others, then get in the limo and leave?" "That," Anakin said. "Would require a lot of Ben's power. Astral projection takes a lot out of him. He doesn't have the Force and magical connection like back in Auradon." "And," Obi-Wan added. "Even if he astral projects, he then has to use more power to levitate his body, and get through Uma's crew. I fear he won't have enough power to escape himself." "Then," Yoda said. "The VKs our hope must be in rescuing Ben." Ben sighed and said, "I felt as much. But I don't just want to sit here trapped in my body until I wake up. However long that may take. I want to at least talk to Mal and warn her. Plus, even though I got Mal to talk to me about nightmares she's been having, I still think there is something else bothering her. And I think it has something to do with her getting dreams about her old life. I need to help her." The Force spirits looked at each other and Leia said, "Then, that is what you must do. But you must be careful. Don't waste all of your strength. Only do a couple of hours at most. You need to save the rest for when the VKs come to help you escape." Ben nodded as he got into a meditative pose and started to concentrate.

Uma was at her mother's restaurant handing out food to customers. "Hey," one customer said. "I wanted the fried clams." "And I wanted a sea pony," Uma sneered. "Life ain't fair." Uma walked away to deliver more food to customers. She stopped when she saw Mal standing at the entrance, who smiled and said, "I'm back." "Loser, party of one," Uma retorted as she showed Mal a table to sit with her. "Right this way, please." She pushed a chair to Mal, who caught it with ease, using the same weird reflexes that she used on Harry, startling Uma, and sat down saying, "Place still stinks." "Oh, I'm sorry," Uma retorted. "We're down a butler today. Princess." Mal glared at Uma and asked, "Where is he?" Uma stared down at Mal and said, "You know, I'm dreamed of this. You wanting something from me, and me watching you squirm like a worm on a hook." "I'm so flattered that you dream of me," Mal retorted. "I haven't given you a thought since I left." Uma slammed the table and said, "Obviously."

As she stared into Mal's eyes, she remembered what the amulet told her about how the psychic link would grow as Mal was now closer to her and decided to read some of Mal's thoughts to taunt her and whispered, "You have the perfect little life, don't you? Your pretty bedroom, dresses, makeup, hair, everything. But you're afraid. You have the heart of the King, but you aren't sure he has yours. Even after you accidentally blasted him with magic." Mal panicked while keeping her cool. "How did she know that?" Mal thought as Uma continued, "You see your friends leading perfect new lives in Auradon while you hide behind fake smiles and fake nails. I never bought it. And even though Ben told you that he loves you no matter what, you still have those fears and doubts creeping up inside you. And your darkness craves it." Mal glared at Uma and said, "Listen, if you have some kind of score to settle with me, game on. I see no need to bring anyone else into this. Especially Ben." Uma laughed as she pulled back, "It may be a little unnecessary, but, ugh, it is so much fun. Because it's evil. And I am evil. Are you? Were you ever? Or do you just put up an intimidating act to cover how soft you really are?"

Mal glared at Uma, her eyes glowing, as Uma continued, "Here's the deal." Mal huffed and said, "Just like your mother, always a catch." Uma smiled as she sat down and put up one of her arms for an arm wrestling match, "If you win, Ben is free to go. Hmm?" Mal put up her arm as Uma continued, "Don't you wanna know what I get if I win?" "Still dreaming," Mal taunted. Uma grabbed Mal's hand and said, "Last time I checked, your mother thought she had things all sewn up, too, huh? How did that work out for her again?" Mal actually wasn't too bothered with that statement as she felt that her mother got what she deserved, and just wanted to get the match on, "On three." Uma smiled and said, "One." "Two," Mal said. "Three," both girls said as the match began. They were even in strength. Mal started to push Uma's arm down as Uma said, "You know, that whole princess act. Ugh. Like I said, never bought it for a second. You could stick a tiara on a villain, but you're still a villain." Mal glared at Uma and said, "And you can slap a pirate hat on, but you're still Shrimpy." Mal's eyes started to glow as she pushed Uma's hand closer and closer to the table. But she was surprised when Uma started to chuckle and said, "If I win, you bring me the wand." That shocked Mal, causing Uma to slam Mal's arm on the table. The crowd cheered as Uma stood, smiling evilly, "I knew you were soft and weak. I'm stronger than you. And this is just the beginning." Mal stared at Uma and said, "Beginning of what?" "My revenge," Uma said. "You underestimated me for so many years. You thought you could just walk in here and get your precious king back so easily? No. Because I'm better than you. And you should fear me." The crowd laughed evilly as Uma sang,

I've waited for years to have this moment

I've thought of the ways I'd make you pay

The tables have turned, the lesson is learned

Now I hold the key

Cause only a fool underestimates me!

An eye for an eye

A wrong for a wrong

Never forgive, never forget

This is your last regret

What goes around, comes around!

The crowd around them cheered as Uma gloated, "Now, if you want beasty boy back, bring me Fairy Godmother's magic wand to my ship tomorrow at 12:00 noon. Sharp. Oh, and if you blab, you can kiss your baby goodbye." Uma stood up and walked away, laughing. Mal stood up and walked out of the restaurant back to the hideout.

Above her on one of the surrounding buildings, Solo, having finally concentrated enough energy to astral project, watched Mal walk out of the restaurant. "She lost," Solo deduced. "I sense fear in her. Uma wants something in return for my release. I need to follow her and find out what. Then, hopefully I can talk to her some more. Finally, I need to get back here. My body should be waking up within a few hours. Then I can find out where this Sith object is." He jumped from rooftop to rooftop invisibly back to the hideout.

"There is no way we're gonna give Uma the wand," Evie said when Mal told the rest of the Core 4 what Uma wanted in exchange for Ben. "We can't just let her destroy Auradon." Carlos added, "Uma doesn't get the wand, then Ben is toast, guys." "Great," Evie said. "So we're going to give Uma, of all people, the wand." Evie, Carlos, and Jay started to argue with each other as Mal stood there. She was frustrated with the whole situation, especially since Uma seemed to know more about her than she thought. Suddenly she came up with an idea, "Wait, you guys. Your 3D printer." "A phony wand," Carlos realized. "Yes," Mal said. "In my sleep," Carlos added. "Yeah," Evie retorted. "But the second Uma tests it, she'll know it's fake." "OK," Mal said. "So then we get Ben out really fast. We need some kind of diversion." "Smoke bombs," Jay suggested. "That's perfect," Evie said. "I'll get the chemicals I need from Lady Tremaine's place. That could work."

Evie walked over to Mal and said, "Oh, and sick hair by the way. Evil Stepmom seriously stepped up her game." Mal smiled and said, "OK, do you wanna know something? Dizzy did this." "Little Dizzy?" Evie said. "Shut up." "I know," Mal replied. "I'm, like, loving it. It's like a lot lighter." "I'm really proud of her," Evie said. Jay then cleared his throat as Carlos said, "Hello?" Mal and Evie stopped and Mal sighed saying, "Right. Carlos, Jay, you guys meet us at Pirates Bay, no later than noon. And you guys, losing, not an option. "Cause we're rotten." "To the core," the other three replied. "Let's do this," Evie said as the gang set out of their missions.

Above them on the roof, Solo saw them walk out. "So, they are going to make a fake wand. Interesting. Hopefully they get back here in time." He sat down and looked out to Auradon. "I can see how Mal looked out to Auradon from this view. It's beautiful. Now, let's see where Mal and Evie are going."

Mal and Evie got to Curl Up and Dye. Dizzy was alone working on some hair pieces. The two girls snuck up behind Dizzy, who turned and saw Evie, "Evie, you came back." Dizzy gave Evie a hug who said, "Hi." "Hey," Mal said. "So great to see you, too." Dizzy asked, "Is it all just like we imagined? Do they really have closets you can walk into? Have you been to a real swimming pool? What does ice cream taste like?" Evie smiled and said, "It's cold and it's sweet. And if you eat it too fast, it gives you a headache." "Really?" Dizzy asked and Evie nodded. "I saved your sketchbook for you." "You did?" Evie asked as Dizzy pulled it out and showed her. "Oh, my gosh. Wow. I made this dress out of an old curtain and safety pins." Dizzy smiled and said, "It reminds me of the dress you made for Mal when she met Jasmine." "I spilled curry all over that," Mal remembered. "You did," Evie agreed. "Yeah, saw that," Dizzy said as Mal started to walk around, taking chemicals, as Evie said, "This was totally the inspiration for that." "I knew it," Dizzy said. "You can take the girl out of the Isle, but you can't take the Isle out of the girl." Evie sighed, realizing that Dizzy was right. She looked over and saw some of Dizzy's hair pieces she was working on and put two pieces together and asked, "Is this too much or is this fabulous?" "Hand me the glue gun," Dizzy said.

Back at Auradon Prep, Carlos and Jay had gotten back and walked back to their dorm room. Dude came running out to see Carlos, who bent down and picked him up saying, "Hey. I'm sorry I'm so late, Dude. Ben got captured." Jay then saw that their door was open and they heard growling and whimpering. "Why is our door open?" Jay asked. "And where's Chewie? I thought he was watching you." They got to the room and saw that Chad had broken into their room again, but they saw Chewie a few feet away from Chad growling at him, Chad whimpering in a corner, and the 3D printer printing off an action figure of Chad. "You've got to be kidding me," Carlos said. Chad meekly looked over to Carlos and Jay and said, "I knocked. But I didn't realize that Chewie was in here. And he doesn't seem to like me very much." Chewie barked causing Chad to scream. Carlos dropped Dude and walked over to Chad and said, "Give me the key." Chad shakily reached into his pocket and pulled out another spare key he made. Jay looked at the action figure Chad was printing out while stopping the printer and asked, "What is that?" "Um," Chad answered. "That's a little Chad action figure. But you guys stopped it before it could finish the head." "Sounds like an improvement," Carlos said as he walked over to the 3D printer. Chewie continued to growl at Chad as Carlos pulled out his phone to get a picture of Fairy Godmother's wand.

Chad saw this and asked, "Why are you guys making Fairy Godmother's wand?" No one noticed that Lonnie had walked by and overheard the conversation. She hid next to the wall outside the room as Carlos said, "Uh, why are we making Fairy Godmother's wand?" "Because," Jay answered, not sure what to say. "Ben's been captured," Dude said, surprising Chad and Lonnie, startling Chewie from his growling, and angered Carlos and Jay. "What?" Chad asked. "Dude can talk?" "I was stalling," Carlos said as Chewie walked over to Dude and barked harshly once, making Dude cower a bit. Jay walked over, picked Chad up, and said, "Don't tell anyone. Ben's life depends on it." Lonnie then got an idea and ran off from her hiding spot. "Really?" Chad asked. "So, if something were to happen, you know what I'm saying." "Something bad, we get it," Carlos said, making Jay elbow his ribs. "God forbid," Chad said. "But, if something were to happen, who do you think would be next in line to be king? Me actually." Chewie got angry and walked over to Chad growling at him again, causing Chad to start backing up to the door. "Is it me or is that in really poor taste?" Jay said. "And if you tell, then it looks like we're gonna have to let Chewie have you." Chewie barked causing Chad to run out of the room in terror. "Thank you, Jay," Carlos said.

Jay nodded as he bent down to Chewie and said, "Don't worry, Chewie. We're gonna get Ben back." Chewie barked three times as Jay looked at Dude and asked, "So can you understand dogs? You know, since you are one?" "Yep," Dude said. "Cool," Jay said. "So what did Chewie just say?" "I have no idea," Dude admitted. "What?" Carlos looked over from the 3D printer. "You just said you could talk to dogs." "I can," Dude said. "But Chewie speaks some other language that I don't understand. Sounds like roars and gurgling to me. Ben seems to understand him. He talks to Chewie all the time. In fact, Ben talks to himself a lot, like he's actually talking to people who aren't there…." Chewie suddenly growled causing Dude to back up. "I might have said too much," Dude whimpered. Jay pulled on Chewie's collar and said, "Chewie, back off." "Yeah," Carlos said. "He ate a truth gummy. He always has to tell the truth. Give him a break. But Dude. I don't think Chewie wants you to tell us anything about Ben. It seems to upset him. OK?" "Fine," Dude said as Carlos and Jay waited for the wand to finish printing.

Back at Curl Up and Dye, Mal and Evie were finishing making the smoke bombs. "Got it?" Evie asked Mal. "Yeah, I got it," Mal said. "Perfect," Evie said as Mal handed her the smoke bomb. "That makes five smoke bombs." "I think that's enough, right?" Mal asked. Evie nodded as she pulled off the gloves she used to make the smoke bombs and pulled over a hair piece and asked, "M, how amazing would this look with my shredded tee and my heart purse?" "Very amazing," Mal answered. Dizzy looked over from her work station and said, "Take it! Take a bunch!" "Oh, Dizzy," Evie said as she walked over to the girl. She grabbed a bag and Dizzy put multiple pieces of hair pieces in the bag. "Oh my gosh. Thank you." Dizzy smiled and said, "It would make me so happy to know that you were wearing something of mine in Auradon, almost like me being there myself." Mal started putting the smoke bombs into the bag as Evie gave Dizzy a hug and said, "I really wish I could take you with me." Dizzy pulled away and said, "At least one of us had our dream come true, right?" Evie felt sadness come over her as she said, "Yeah." "E," Mal said. "We gotta go." Evie nodded as Dizzy waved goodbye and walked back over to her table, looking over Evie's designs. Evie stared at the girl with guilt in her heart. "Hey," Mal said. "She's gonna be OK." "Yeah," Evie said. "But she could be so much more." Mal pulled on Evie's hand to lead her back to the hideout.

Solo was standing on the roof of Curl Up and Dye as he saw Mal and Evie walked out of the salon. He sensed Evie's thoughts and thought, "I need to work on getting kids like Dizzy over to Auradon. Evie's right. Dizzy deserves so much more like the other kids here." He sighed as he felt his power weakening a little and said, "I need to get Mal alone so I can talk to her. I can't keep this astral projection up for much longer." He then jumped rooftop to rooftop to get back to the hideout.

Mal and Evie continued their walk back to the hideout as they were talking about old stories from the Isle as Mal said, "That one was epic. That went on for actual days." "Like it mattered, right?" Evie replied. "We were both…" Mal started as Evie finished, "Undone by true love's kiss." "Works every time!" Both girls said while laughing.

Evie sighed and asked, "Is that what you and Ben really have?" Mal stopped and said, "We have a connection. I didn't really understand it. But Ben has been so patient with me. He wanted our connection to grow naturally despite the time limit he's under." "The betrothal he's under with Audrey?" Evie asked. Mal nodded and said, "I tried to be one of the pretty pink princesses so that Auradon would like me. I tried it for Ben. I tried it for you, and Carlos, and Jay. I really tried to tell you that I was under all this stress. But, I mean, I saw the way your face lit up when we walked through those dorm rooms for the first time. And I couldn't spoil that for you." "Are you staying?" Evie asked. "Because if you're staying, I'm staying, too." "No," Mal said. "No to you staying because you are an Auradon girl. Everyone in Auradon sees me as the girl from the Isle. And they always will. But also no because I don't know if I'm staying here, maybe I'm not. Ben told me that he cares more about the real me than the me I was pretending to be. I came here because this was the only place where I felt at peace. There have been so many voices in my head telling me what I should do, and I couldn't take it anymore. Now coming back, I realized that I all I did here was survive. I did wicked things in order to survive. Back in Auradon, I played princess to survive. I'm in my own little world, separate from everything. Separate from you. I need to find my place in this world." Evie sighed sadly, realizing that even though she and Mal were best friends, there were things that Mal didn't trust her with. Mal was right, they thought differently about life and they seemed to be in different worlds at times. Mal threw a rock at the sign on their hideout to access the entrance. They walked up the stairs to the hideout, as they both started to sing,

(Evie)

I didn't know what you

Were going through

I thought that you were fine

Why did you have to hide?

(Mal)

I didn't wanna let you down

But the truth is out

It's tearing me apart

Not listening to my heart

I really had to go

(Evie)

And I would never stop you

(Mal)

Even though we change

(Evie)

Nothing has to change

(Both)

You can find me in the space between

Where two worlds come to meet

I'll never be out of reach

'Cause you're a part of me

So you can fine me in the space between

You'll never be alone

No matter where you go

We can meet in the space between

(Mal)

There are no words left to say

(Evie)

I know you gotta find your place

(Mal)

But this is not the end

(Evie)

No, you're part of who I am

(Both)

Even if we're worlds apart

You're still in my heart

It will always be

You and me

Yeah

You can find me in the space between

Where two worlds come to meet

I'll never be out of reach

'Cause you're a part of me

So you can find me in the space between

You'll never be alone

No matter where you go

We can meet in the space between

Yeah

No matter where you go

We can meet in the space between

Both girls stood in their hideout leaning their heads together and hugging. Mal truly was happy that she had a friend like Evie. Suddenly Evie started to fall unconscious as Mal pulled away and saw Solo standing there waving his hand over Evie. He caught Evie before she fell to the ground, bridal style. "What did you do to her?" Mal shouted. "Relax," Solo said. "She's just asleep. She'll wake up in a few hours." He walked over to the couch and set Evie on it.

He turned to Mal and said, "I wanted to talk to you without Evie listening in. We have some things to discuss." Mal sighed, realizing that he was right. Mal looked up at Solo and said, "OK. But can this wait? Ben been captured…." "By Uma and her goons," Solo finished for her. "I know." Mal got angry and shouted, "Then why don't you go rescue him? You could easily take down Uma and her crew." Solo sighed and said, "Not that simple. My power is limited here thanks to the barrier." "Is it?" Mal asked. Solo nodded and said, "The barrier limits how much the source of my power gets through. So I only have a reserved amount before I have to return to Auradon. Even if I could go rescue Ben, I wouldn't be able to get him and get out without wasting all of my strength. I wouldn't make it." "Wow," Mal said. "For someone like you to say that, impressive."

"Plus," Solo said. "There's something here on this Isle that wasn't here six months ago. An object of some kind. I can sense its darkness. It's been absorbing whatever power it can. You need to get off this Isle. You are in danger as long as that darkness is here." "Why should I trust you?" Mal said. "You've done dark things yourself." Solo stared at her and said, "You've been having more dreams about me, haven't you?" Mal nodded and added, "And that brown haired girl. I've been focusing on her like you suggested, but you're still there too. You did some evil things. Destroy places, people. You even ran your lightsaber through that old smuggler. I don't understand. You have done good things here, but you do bad things in my dreams." "I told you," Solo said. "The man you've seen in your dreams is gone. I'm not that man anymore. Yes, I did horrible things that will always haunt me. Especially what I did to that old man. That act haunts me the most." "Why?" Mal asked. Solo sighed and said, "Because he was my father."

Mal gasped taking a step back. "Don't be afraid," Solo said. "Please. That act tore me in two. I hate myself for doing it. But like I said, I'm not that man anymore. The darkness doesn't rule over me anymore. But I'm not fully in the light either. I'm the gray. The space between." Mal stared at Solo, feeling that he was being truthful. She saw the hurt and pain in his eyes. She walked up to him and said, "I believe you." Solo smiled causing Mal to smile.

Mal then asked, "But why am I still having dreams about you? About that girl? Who is she? What's her name?" Solo sighed and said, "Maybe another time I'll tell you her name. But right now, you need to focus on rescuing Ben. And getting off this Isle. With that object of darkness here, you are in danger as long as you stay here." "Why?" Mal asked. "Can it affect me?" Solo then raised his hand to Mal's head to enter her mind. He put his hand down and said, "I think it already did." "What do you mean?" Mal asked. "I think," Solo answered, "That this object of darkness is what is causing your other nightmares." "How did you know about my other nightmares?" Mal asked. "I sensed it," Solo lied, putting his hand back up to read Mal's mind. "Somehow, a psychic link was made between you and this object. Maybe it was just the object, or someone here could be controlling it. I can't figure that out. The darkness is clouding everything. But I can use some of my power to break it. If you'll let me." Mal nodded, wanting the nightmares to stop. Solo focused some of his power and bore into Mal's mind. He found the psychic link, hearing the dark voice laughing, and Solo pushed it out of her mind. The dark voice screamed in agony as it disappeared from Mal's mind, Solo smiling and thinking, "It's gone. I'll make sure it will never return to harm Mal ever again."

Over on the roof of Ursula's restaurant, Uma was looking down at the Lost Revenge, seeing King Ben tied up on her ship unconscious, being guarded by her goons. Suddenly the voice of the amulet said, "Someone just destroyed the link to Mal's mind." "What?" Uma asked, getting angry. "Get it back!" "Unfortunately," the voice said. "Whoever broke it has done a good job of blocking me from Mal. It's powerful. Someone whose power comes from the same source as me. A guardian." Uma realized, "Wait. There is some sort of dark figure that says he's the guardian of the Isle. It must have been him." "Yes," the voice said. "I can sense his presence. I can feel his connection to Mal. To her friends. But most of all, to the King." Uma looked down to her ship at the unconscious King and said, "Well then, maybe when he wakes up, I'll pry some information out of him. About the guardian of the Isle."

Solo pulled out of Mal's mind, saying, "It's done. I've made sure that it will never enter your mind again." Mal did feel a lot lighter and said, "Thank you." But then she felt woozy as she asked, "What's happening?" Solo rushed over and held onto her shoulders and said, "Breaking that psychic link took a lot out of you. You should rest. Get your strength back for tomorrow. I'll watch over all of you." "But," Mal said sleepily as she fell unconscious and Solo picked her up, bridal style. He walked over and set Mal on another couch. He looked down on her and said, "My precious Mal. You can have a peaceful sleep for once. I know that you and the others will come rescue me. I'll be waiting." He leaned down and kissed Mal on her forehead. He saw a vision of Rey, making him pull away. He looked down at Mal and whispered, "I wish that your memories and Force connection will return to you soon. I don't want to be alone anymore. I love you, Rey."

He then disappeared from the hideout and flew back into his unconscious body on the Lost Revenge. No one saw the glow of the Kyber crystal that Ben wore underneath his clothes. Ben felt it when he returned his spirit to his body and thought inside his head, "One day I'll give this to you, Mal. I know that one day you'll be my Rey again. I'll wait however long that takes. For now, I have faith that you will get me off this Isle and return with me. I'll be waiting…"
