「Act 37: All things have gone right 」

Ajan Kloss, 36 ABY

Something tickled at his awareness, and he turned to stare out at the windows; he was trying to wear the belt around him, the damn thing was not cooperating. However, it was not the belts or the blaster's fault, but the early scene between him and Rey inside the showers.

How could someone easily erase such a memory?

"What was that all about?" came a voice steady and strong, almost feeling the small room where Ben was staying.

He came closer, and he flinched but refused to give ground. "You come and go as you please," was his answer, monotonic without color.

"I'm trying!" he said, smirking, "Would you prefer someone shorter than me... Maybe with fewer clothes..."

He peered at him, eyes dark in his pale face, and he realized he could see him clearly. "Are you spying always?" Ben asked, with the tone of his voice irritated. He felt as he was ten again, and he could not have his privacy.

"I swear to you, I didn't see..." he said, amused "...not as much as you have seen. See? No problem?"

"You think so?" he glared at him. "Your timing is off; you appear when you are less wanted."

"From my point of view, I showed up the right time," he responded, gazing back at him, and he found eyes full of hurt and pain. "You're still holding on to the past, aren't you?"

Ben took a few steps closer to him; this time, his words were harsher than before. "Why you believed I would let the past die? Then you should have shown up when I was still Kylo Ren!"

"You're right..." he said with the same smirk on his face, "I should have come, and I should have told you: Kill the past! Isn't that what Kylo Ren wanted to hear from Darth Vader. I'm sorry, but he wasn't around..."

"What do you want, Grandfather?" Ben asked him. Finally, there was no more anger in his voice, only misery.

Anakin's Force-Ghost faced Ban as he sighed, "The mission you're about to take..."

"Yavin 4?" Ben questioned, "We are seeking Palpatine's secret temple...any idea where we can find that?"

Anakin jerked his head but didn't answer; Force-Ghosts couldn't interfere with the living. "My powers are limited to give you such information, but there is something I need you to know."

Ben paused and waited to listen to what Anakin had to tell him. This time he seemed worried and more serious than usual. "You agree with the General that there is something more out there?" he asked.

Anakin nodded. "Maybe something worse than Palpatine. You and Rey will need to craft stronger lightsabers, with everlasting crystals."

Ben believed him. Even if his grandfather never showed up when Ben begged him, he was right; after Kylo Ren was turned, Anakin would appear the most critical moments. "Worse," said Ben, now more alert than before. "It takes years for someone to create their own lightsaber. We don't even have crystals, and I threw my lightsaber away."

"You will need them eventually, Ben," Anakin said and slowly started to fade away, leaving behind a distraught Ben.

Her boots' tapping revealed her presents, as she walked towards him, her steps steady but slow. She avoided his gaze; she was feeling awkward after what had happened this morning. She asked herself why she showed up in his room. And the question came at once because he was important. Because he was her friend. The only person that knew her, as no one did. And they dyad connected them in so many ways.

Ben turned around at the sound of the steps. He froze, blushed, and looked away. He bit his lips, anxious, feeling awkward, and ashamed. He was not sure why she was there. And honestly, he didn't know how to face her. For a moment, he thought to run away; he could bypass her and escape. It will be the act of a coward, but at that moment, he preferred to be called a coward than a pervert.

She spoke in a low tone, almost like her voice struggled to come out, "Was that," she tilted her head, recalling that he had seen him before inside Luke's texts "Anakin Skywalker?"

Ben lifted his gaze surprised that she had seen him, "Yes, he appears from time to time." Ben answered, his eyes met hers, and time froze.

Rey tried her best to break the awkwardness that was building up. "How? He was Darth Vader. Did he turn?"

Ben nodded and stepped back, leaning against the table that was behind him. "You saw him?" he said. "He turned before he died. Obi-Wan taught him."

"I did before he vanished," Rey answered, sensing Ben's concerns through the force. "What did he want?"

"Poe's worries might be true," Ben revealed, "We have to take that mission and create our own sabers."

Rey stepped closer and suddenly pulled something behind her back and handed over to Ben, "I believe you should have it."

Ben dropped his gaze watching Luke's lightsaber ending in his hand once more; he tilted his head, confused. "Why?"

Rey's face softened. "Because it was Anakin's, and you share with him that special connection, and you might need it."

Oddly enough, Ben didn't fight her this time; he accepted the lightsaber and placed it in his belt. "Thank you," he mumbled.

Rey smiled and tapped his shoulder and took a better gaze at him, and only then she noted that his attire has changed. The attire seemed somehow familiar, a bit darker and modern but similar to Han's. "Looks good on you!" Rey caught herself saying out loud.

Ben cracked a smile, he wasn't smiling often, but whenever he smiled, the world around him brightened a little bit "Han's gift!" he said in a sad tone.

Rey didn't have to ask him for more details; she already received all the answers through their bond as his memories sprang alive in her mind. And she leaned closer and looked at him. "Ben... in the shower ... I should have..." she tried to explain what had happened and that she was sorry that she ended up so angry with him.

Ben nodded. "I know!" he said with the warmest smile ever, and at that moment, Rey was sure that Ben Solo was his father's son.

Rey shared a smile with him.

Ben wore the black leather jacket and rushed out of his room, and Rey followed him towards the main area where everyone was gathered. It seemed that everyone was getting ready for the mission. Poe and Finn looked at the pair approach, and they seemed friendly like they had already forgotten their morning encounter.

"Are you ready? We are leaving," said Poe as he was gathering the last supplies for their journey.

"Poe, we think that you were right," Rey suddenly told him and won the generals' attention.

"We should start by finding Omii," Ben explained, "We must find out what we are dealing with."

Poe finished with the last details and gestured them to follow him. Finn, Wookiee, and the droids stepped behind Poe, and Ben with Rey followed. Poe reached the Falcon and activated the ramp, and everyone entered inside. Poe paused suddenly and grabbed Ben's arm, making him turn around and face him.

"Ben, Chewie, and you will be our pilots," the general said, and his words won the attention once more; he looked at everyone lifting his arms, gesturing them to calm down. "We agree with Chewie. That's how it should be; everyone here knows to pilot the Falcon, but your the one who should," Poe said and patted his shoulder. "And that's an order!"

Ben's eyes were almost ready to show a tear or two, but he held them all in and walked over to the cockpit and sat on the pilot's seat, Chewie followed him and sat in the co-pilot's seat, and the Falcon was ready to take off.

Their mission was now starting.
