Hello again everyone! I got such an awesome response to chapter one. I really missed doing this anyway here is Rey's chapter.

Please RandR and Enjoy!


Chapter 2:

Rey

"She's stabilizing…"

"Rey if you can hear me, I need you to wake up…"

"You don't think she will die if Kylo dies, do you?"

"Rey and my son are two of the strongest people in the universe. I think they will be fine…"

Rey could hear everything. That was the easy part. The hard part seemed to be getting her body to agree with her mind so that she could wake up and find out what the hell was going on.

She remembered an explosion going off right in front of her, but then nothing.

She recognized Leia's, Finn's, Rose's and Asera's voices but had no idea when they had made it back to Olara as Leia, Finn and Rose didn't come with her, Kylo, and her Knights of Rey on their mission to Ilum. She tried to carefully go over everything that had happened on Ilum. Why would Kylo die? What happened after she was knocked out?

Thinking so much seemed to tire Rey out and soon she would find herself drifting off back into oblivion. The quiet of her mind allowed her to move through the Force and soon she found herself seeking Kylo and the bond that connected them. She searched and searched but could only find a locked door in the back of her own mind that she could not get through. She knew then that something was keeping them apart.

Rey knew she needed to wake up because there was nothing she could do to help Kylo or herself while she was still unconscious. So, Rey began focusing all of her energy toward healing her mind and body. It didn't take long as according to Asera, the more in tuned with the light you are the easier it is to use techniques such as Force Healing and Rey was an in tuned with her light as one could get.

After what seemed like forever Rey was finally able to open her eyes.

The florescent lights hurt her sensitive eyes for a moment but after squinting for a while to allow her eyes to adjust the pain went away and she began looking around the room. She recognized the med bay from the Olara base immediately. She looked around and found that she wasn't alone in the infirmary.

A gasp escaped her lips and she immediately clapped a hand over her mouth. Kylo was in the bed next to her with his chest wrapped in bandages and Zer-o was in the bed next to Kylo with the whole left side of his face bandages. Neither of them moved more than to breathe as Rey watched.

Her heart was beating frantically enough that the machine monitoring her pulse began going off. Asera and a few people that Rey recognized but couldn't put her finger on their names came running into the room. Asera's eyes got wide when she noticed that Rey was awake and staring at Kylo.

"Oh my gods, Rey we didn't think you would ever wake up," Asera said grimly as she began checking all of Rey's vital signs.

"I'm," Rey started but her throat hurt so bad she had to stop for a second. "I'm fine. What happened to those two," she asked referring to Kylo and Zer-o.

Asera sighed.

"What do you remember," she asked.

Rey thought about it for a moment before saying, "I remember running to Kylo's shuttle and it exploding before I could get to it but nothing after that."

"Well I treated you for the injuries you sustained from being that close to the blast but it was nothing life threatening. But while all that was going on Zoroyais himself showed up on the battle field. Kylo and Zer-o decided to take him on so that the rest of us could escape," Asera said and immediately Rey could feel the anger she had inherited from Kylo bubbling to the surface.

"I know we didn't actually leave them there," Rey said shortly.

"Of course not, Essie and Cade came up with a plan to get them out of there. But by the time Gear was able to retrieve Zer, he'd lost his eye and Ren's chest was a red ruin. Then you collapsed too even though you were fine after I looked you over," Asera said. "I've tried everything I could think of to heal them but nothing is working and neither of them has woken up. I can't heal them with the Force and Bacta reacts really strangely to the wounds made by Zoroyais' blade. It seems that they have to heal normally."

"How long have the three of us been out," Rey asked.

Asera looked at the others before saying, "Three days."

Rey almost passed out again. Three of the Resistance's best warriors had been out of commission for three whole days. If Zoroyais and the First Order had followed them back to Olara the Resistance probably would have been wiped out. Rey felt dizzy and sick just thinking about it.

"What about the clone we brought with us," Rey asked. "And all of the lightsabers we collected?"

"The clone was dead by the time we got here and not from his injuries. It appeared to be a poison I'd never seen before. Lightsabers have been distributed to anyone with any swordsman skills. There wasn't a lot so we still have quite a few extras left. Essie has been trying to get more people into it but the only ones who even feel comfortable with a lightsaber had prior swordsman experience. Everyone else seems to be terrified of the red blades," Asera explained while helping Rey sit up fully.

"At least some people are taking advantage of the more advanced weapons. How is the Jasmenerthians' weapons manufacturing coming," Rey asked. "And what are our plans for going after the First Order?"

"Leia and the others wanted to wait to see what would happen with you three before she made any plans but now that you are awake I can go get her and the others. Instead of bringing you to the war meeting, I'll see if they'll bring the war meeting to you," Asera said and when Rey nodded she headed for Leia's office leaving a Jasmenerthian male nurse named Kaizer to watch over her.

Within a few minutes she returned with Leia, Poe, Taliah and Phasma. It was interesting to learn that Phasma had been filling in for Kylo in strategy meetings and in his daily duties. Rey was glad that she was here so that whenever Kylo did wake up he wouldn't have to worry about all of the things that didn't get down while he was out of commission.

Leia, Poe, and Taliah threw their arms around Rey in a sort of three way hug.

"Rey, I'm so glad you woke up. We've been so worried about you," Thalia said.

"Yeah, we knew that the battle would be lost without you two," Poe said jerking his thumb toward where Kylo was laid out in the next bed. "But now that you are awake we can at least begin planning our next move."

Rey smiled and nodded. She didn't want to tell them that there was no next move without Kylo and Zer-o. This war was going to require every Force user they could muster as well as loyal foot soldiers to fight the Stormtroopers of the First Order. Rey was a fighter not a planner. They would need Kylo and Gear in on a meeting of this magnitude.

"If you want us to wait for Kylo to wake up I would totally understand," Leia said in a soft voice.

Poe and Taliah looked like they wanted to kick themselves. Rey couldn't help but chuckle at their expressions. Neither of them was very fond of Kylo so it wasn't so shocking or surprising to Rey that they'd both totally discounted the man she loved, the unspoken general of the Resistance's army of Force users.

"I think he is definitely needed to come up with a real plan to strike back at Zoroyais and Hux. In the meantime maybe I could convince some of the regular people around here to take up lightsabers. They are much more practical than traditional swords," Rey said to which Leia nodded.

"She is right. It's just important to really arm and train our people as it is to come up with our next plan of attack. We can wait a few more days to see if Kylo and Zer-o will wake up," Leia said, Phasma agreed and that was the end of that.

...

A few hours later Rey was released from the med bay. She slowly made her way through the base to the hut she shared with Kylo Ren. The hut seemed strangely empty with her tall, dark, and handsome lover. Even though he'd only been living there with her for a few months she still couldn't think of the hut as anything other than their home.

Rey stripped out of her clothes before going to bathe in the natural hot spring behind the hut. After her bath she planned to go and check on the former First Order officers that she, Kylo, Poe and Phasma had rescued from execution. She needed to get back into the swing of things and integrating Datoo, Maatis and Nikkinem into the society of the Resistance was one of her top priorities.

Rey wanted everyone to be comfortable and feel at home on Olara. The way Rey saw it; they were all one big family with one common goal: take out Zoroyais and the First Order to make the galaxy a better place. She didn't think they could accomplish their goal if they were so busy fighting over who came from where.

After soaking her aching body, Rey found that she didn't have the necessary energy to go talk to the former First Order officers. Instead she crawled into her tiny bed that still smelled like Kylo. She really wanted to walk back to the Med Bay but Asera had told her that even if she'd wanted to stay with Kylo tonight there was no way Rey could sleep in the bed with him.

His wounds were bad enough that the slightest pressure or agitation could cause them to reopen and the last thing Rey wanted was to cause him more pain. If she had to sleep alone she would rather be wrapped in his scent. Then maybe he would come to her in her dreams.

It didn't take long for her to fall into a deep sleep. At first she didn't dream, it was like she couldn't dream. And then she was staring out of a window in a palace that she had never seen before. Kylo was far down below the tower in a black metal cage.

When the wind blew just right she could just barely make out what he was saying.

Rey, if you can hear me, I need you to come to me baby. I need your light, Kylo called to her.

Rey startled awake as she realized that the voice she'd heard hadn't come from her dream but through the bond she shared with Kylo. Something was definitely wrong.

Rey bolted out of bed early in the morning and made her way over to the Med Bay. Asera was asleep at the desk in the back of the large room and Rey didn't want to disturb her or the two patients so she crept quietly over to Kylo's bed. She sat down in the chair that Leia had no doubt pulled over and grabbed Kylo's strangely cold hand.

I'm here, love. I need you to come back to me. I can't do this without you, Rey said with a small smile through the bond.

Kylo stirred restlessly for a few seconds before he settled down again. Rey sat there for a second pouring her light down the line of their bond. Before her very eyes Rey saw black mist rising from the wounds. She leaned forward for a closer look.

"What are you doing here Rey," Asera's stern doctor voice made Rey jump.

"Hey Sera, Kylo came to me in a dream saying that he needs my light, so I was giving him my light and I could have sworn I saw black mist rising from the wounds just now," Rey explained quickly.

"Let me guess; your Force bond had something to do with it," Sera asked and Rey nodded. "Okay. I'll check his wounds but only if you promise to go back to bed. You are gonna have a busy day today. You need all the rest you can get," Sera said shooing Rey away from the med bay.

Rey returned to bed just as the suns of Olara came over the horizon. She began to dream again almost immediately but this time it was just a normal dream, not Kylo trying to get a message through to her. She dreamed she was holding a baby with golden tan skin and jet black curls. It wasn't the first time she'd dreamed of her and Kylo's baby and she doubted it would be the last.

When she finally woke up later that day it was closer to noon than morning but she was actually feeling relaxed, like everything with Kylo and Zer-o would work out okay as long as there was light to combat the dark.

She got out of bed and began quickly working on the plans to make the hut bigger for the giant bed she was planning to make for them before Kylo got out of the Med Bay. It wouldn't take much to build on another room that could act as a bedroom and she already had everything she needed for the bed. Maybe Chewie could find her what she needed to build the new room.

With that thought she went to find the Wookie, who was, as usual, working on the Millennium Falcon. Of course Chewie agreed to look for some durasteel walls when he went on the next supply run in a couple of hours. Durasteel was in high demand anyway.

Once that was taken care of Rey went to the weapon's lockup. She gathered all of the lightsabers that were still there and loaded them onto a cart. Then she headed for the cafeteria, the one place where most of the Resistance gathered on a daily basis.

Today was no exception. It seemed that almost all of the Resistance had packed into the café for lunch. Rey nodded to Leia, Poe, Kaydel, Finn, and Rose as she passed their table. She found an empty one. Then she climbed onto it and began to try to get everyone's attention. Poe and the others noticed what she was doing and Finn let out a shrill whistle.

"Thanks Finn," she said before standing up tall. "Most of you know me, either as the Last Jedi, Master Skywalker's apprentice or maybe even just as Kylo Ren's lover. Either way I am sure you all know that I was there for the battle against Zoroyais and the First Order and I am sure you all heard the rumors about what the eight of us faced out there," Rey said.

Murmurs could be heard around the room.

"What most of you don't know is that Hux and Zoroyais both used their own men as cannon fodder to try to tire us all out. They almost succeeded too and now two of our best fighters are laid up in the Med Bay fighting for their lives. I never want to be put into a position where we have to sacrifice our own just for a chance of winning. We are not them," she yelled.

"Ren is one of them," someone yelled.

"If Kylo really was one of them he wouldn't have been willing to give his life so that the Resistance could still have a chance to stop them. But that is beside the point. The men used as cannon fodder were not Force Sensitive but they all wielded lightsabers, though not very well. After we had immobilized them, Kylo came up with the idea of teaching more of the Resistance to wield lightsabers so that we could have a better chance of really winning our next battle with them," Rey paused to let that sink in. "Now I don't expect you all to want to learn but we have maybe 20 lightsabers left and I would like to train 20 people to wield them. The more people who can use them the better off we will be. And I know they seem scary but a lightsaber is like any other weapon; it can only hurt you if you are untrained when you try to use them," Rey finished. "Now who wants to train with me," she asked with a smile.

People were hesitant at first but then Poe and Finn stepped up.

"I already wounded Kylo Ren the first time I ever picked up a light saber just imagine what I can do if I actual learn sword play," Finn said with a grin as he bent over to pick up one of the blades.

"And I'd like to know how to use one so I can prove that Kylo Ren isn't so impressive or scary," Poe said with a good natured grin to which Rey just rolled her eyes.

Soon all of the lightsabers were gone from the cart. Rey smiled at them all before leading them all to the field where she and Kylo had been training the Knights of Rey to begin the day's lesson. Kylo was going to be so proud of her when he woke up to find the beginnings of a real army.


Well now that both chapters are out and we're caught up on what's going on. What do you guys think? Will Kylo wake up soon? Will Poe and Finn really become lightsaber wielders or was that just to help out Rey? Find out next week...
