Rey stormed back to the throne room, the burning Resistance fighters moving out of the way as she walked. She felt like smiling, jumping for joy that she ended the Resistance, now her reign would be unstoppable.
She walked to the laboratory, the Snoke clones in their tubes glowering at her. The scientists caught sight of her and bowed, then scurried away.
Rey linked up a comm, and General Pryde shimmered into existence on a hologram. His eyes widened in shock.
"Scavenger! You, how did you get this?"
Rey laughed softly, with no emotion. "Why, General, I inherited it. You're under my rule, now."
Pryde knit his eyebrows. "Lies. Deception. Where is Kylo Ren?"
Rey smiled. "Kylo is dead, General. He was weak and foolish, like his father and uncle." At this she felt a tiny pang in her heart. Ben was weak. But Kylo.
He wasn't weak. Was he?
She dismissed the thought. "Pryde, I need a transport here. Now. As you served my grandfather in the old wars, you serve me now. I've come to finish what he started."
Pryde scowled. "Lies. Witch. You are not going to -"
But he never finished his insult, because he was being choked. Rey's golden eyes oozed anger. Pryde's mouth dripped blood, glistening blue in the hologram. "Yes. Right away, Lady Palpatine."
Twenty minutes later she sat on a swivel chair in the General's meeting room, all of them had their blasters trained on her chest.
"I assume you want to know why I'm here. Well, you want power. With me leading the Final Order, we will rule the galaxy. My grandfather speaks in my head. He knows which path will lead us to victory."
Rey swiveled around to the generals. "Well, what do you think?"
A general stepped forward. "We are not going to take orders from a scavenger." He fired his blaster.
Rey stopped the bolt in midair. The General was lifted from the ground. Rey narrowed her eyes. There was a sickening snap, and the General fell limp to the ground.
She rose from her chair. The generals stumbled back. Rey smirked. Their fear. It was... pleasant. She remembered the scavengers of Jakku using drugs and potions for pleasure, but this... it felt wonderful.
Rey heard Palpatine sigh contently in her ear.
The generals took a deep bow. One of them stood up. "Erm.. my lady, who exactly is your grandfather."
Rey turned around and sat back in her chair. "The power... it runs through my veins. His blood gives me strength..."
A General gasped. "Palpatine. You, you're his granddaughter, aren't you?"
Rey nodded. "I've come to finish what Palpatine started. We will start our galactic domination tomorrow. The Final Order Rises."
In her mind, she heard Palpatine laugh. Good. Good girl.
Rey smiled. Family was what she wanted. And under her rule, the Palpatine family will have it's name restored.
