Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars or any of the amazing characters

Hello all. If you are reading this you have either stuck with this trilogy for a very long time, in which case I would like to say, Thank you. Or you just discovered it, in that case I'll say you came in at the right time. If you are familiar with this story then you will know this is the first new chapter in almost 2 years. A lot of things happened in between me writing the first novel and the first part of this book and me completing it this past November. I took some time off before starting the edit of the second half of this book but now I am ready and will be putting out 1-2 chapters a day until the rest of it is out.
Anyway here is the first chapter. Enjoy!

Kylo

As the ceiling began to collapse, Kylo closed his eyes and wrenched the doors apart.

Only a force user as strong as Kylo Ren could have opened the jammed hanger doors while keeping the rubble from crashing down on the x-wing. He lifted the x-wing off the hanger floor and sped through the doors just as the rubble fell, sending a cloud of dust to plume out, disguising his ship's ascent.
He could feel Rey's relief as he came out over the cloud just in time to see the Falcon preform evasive maneuvers trying to get away from the two tie fighters that were on their tail. Kylo went after the ships, blasting them and any other ship that tried to trail after the piece of junk holding his entire world, right out of the sky.

He was going to follow after the falcon once it dropped into hyperspace but the sight of Hux's personal ship gave him pause.

Rey felt that pause and reached out to him through their bond. The falcon stopped outside of the planets' atmosphere and Kylo wanted to curse.

What's the matter? Why aren't you following us, she asked.

Hux is here. We should have never let that bastard go, Kylo said back quickly.

Don't go after him alone. You know we are stronger together.

Kylo knew that Rey was right, but he couldn't fight the urge to land the X-wing so that he could face Hux on his home turf.

10 minutes Rey. Then I'm back in this dinky x-wing heading straight to you, Kylo promised.

If you aren't, I'm turning this ship around and coming to get you.

A smile came to his lips because he knew she wasn't kidding.

He set the x-wing down near Hux's ship and hopped out before the engine even fully shut off. A group of stormtroopers began shooting at him as soon as he came into sight, but he easily waved their bolts away.

He grabbed his new light saber from his hip and ignited it. The dark purple blade hummed as he spun the blade through the first stormtrooper brave enough to rush him. He moved through them easily, making his way toward Hux with powerful swings of his blade for anyone directly in front of him. He grabbed one stormtrooper and threw him into another idiot clone in white armor.

"HUX!"

The orange haired weasel turned, finally seeing the what all of a sudden commotion was about. His eyes lit up when he saw Kylo stalking toward him.

"You always were an arrogant fool, Ren. Now my new army will show you just how foolish you are to stay here with your precious rebels have fled." Hux said sounding so proud, so sure of himself.

Suddenly he was surrounded by men in that strange black armor that the Neo Order was so fond of. They pulled their light sabers and ignited them, forming a semi-circle around Hux. The smug little weasel thought that they could protect him.

Kylo wanted to laugh. Instead, he roared out in anger, knocking the stormtroopers and the men of the Neo Order backward several feet. Some of them smashed into the sides of the base and the various ships scattered around the open field.

Hux took a step back and then immediately came forward again like he hadn't meant to step back in the first place.

Kylo couldn't decide if he admired this new courage or was even more pissed off about it. He paused, looking Hux over trying to see what could have caused this sudden change in the man. The only time Hux had ever been brave was when Snoke was there to keep Kylo from killing him.

Had he sucked up to Zoroyais so much that Hux now felt confident that he wasn't expendable? Had he really gained that much favor?
Kylo didn't think so.

"Your new master isn't here to save you Hux. Ozoroth is being carried away by the rebels once again. How do you imagine this is going to go in your favor," Kylo asked.

He sent another wave of Force energy into the members of the Neo Order who had managed to stagger to their feet. He didn't even need to expend any energy. Without the force, these soldiers with light sabers just didn't measure up to the real thing.

"Your new soldiers are no better than the old ones. I keep telling you clones are not the way," Kylo said in a deadly calm voice. "Snoke-"
Kylo was cut off by Hux's sudden burst of laughter.

"Snoke…Snoke was an imperfect, unfinished being. Zoroyais is already miles ahead of where Snoke left off and he knows better than to keep the traditions of the Jedi and Sith as that was Snoke's downfall, wasn't it? His own pet dog was the one who finally ended that pitiful incarnation," Hux said with a sly smirk on his face.

Kylo just looked bored. He had wondered when the rumors would start to line and Hux would figure out the truth. He shrugged as he pinned Hux with a murderous look.

"It is the tradition among the Sith for the apprentice to kill the master," he said. "It is the natural law of succession. Now I am the master," Kylo said with confidence.

Thoughts of his sessions with Rey and the other members of the Ember Order filled his mind. He was proud of the progress he'd made with them. Even prouder of the children and slaves he'd been able to help with his school lessons.

"I am more of a master than Snoke could have ever hoped to be. I did the world of Force users a favor by ridding them of Snoke's useless cruelty," Kylo said.

Hux laughed again.

"You spit on Snoke's name when if it wasn't for him you wouldn't have the strength you have now. How quick you forget that it was he who made you into the man you are today? He is the one who fostered your strength. He is the one who will usher in a new age for you force users," Hux said. "There will be order brought to this universe under Zoroyais' reign."

He was sweating and his pupils were dilated. His skin was flushed, and his hair was sticking to his forehead. He looked feverish.

"You were never one for the mysticism of the Force Hux, what has changed," Kylo asked, lowering his light saber just a bit as he walked toward the man.

The battle lust had drained from the once dark Jedi and the light in him wanted him to try to help Hux. He didn't know why he felt that Hux needed help other than the fact that the man just wasn't sounding like himself. Kylo's darkness warred with his light over the notion of helping someone who was so clearly an enemy.

Hux hated the Force and everything to do with. Now he was almost praising the Force. That wasn't at all like Hux.

"Zoroyais has opened my eyes to the wonders of the Force, Ren. The possibilities are endless through the Force. I see that now," Hux said. "Eternal life, Ren! Can you imagine?"

Kylo was surprised. What had Zoroyais been telling him?

Hux's eyes snapped to Kylo's and then down to the lowered light saber. A satisfied smirk came over the man's face suddenly. Hux shook his head looking more like himself.

"I always thought that your reliance on the Force would be your undoing, but now i think that it will be those women you care so much about," Hux said, his eyes shifting to the sky. "Kill him," Hux said with a smile.

More of the Neo Order dropped from a shuttle that seemed to appear from thin air over where Hux and Kylo were standing. They landed with their blades up and moved as one to block Kylo's path back to his ship. Their hive mind sending information back to Zoroyais, no doubt.
Kylo's blade came back up and he gave Hux a disdainful smile. He struck out knocking away the light saber to his right with a powerful down slash and reached out with the Force dragging the man in front of him forward with a grip on his throat. A rough yell exited Kylo's mouth as one of the men kicked at the back of his knee.

Kylo responded by tossing the man he was holding right into an advancing enemy's raised light saber and then turned to face the unfortunate soul who had kicked him. The armor blocked the blade but the momentum from Kylo's throw sent the two men flying backward. The male who had kicked Kylo scrambled backward as the once completely dark Jedi loomed over him. Kylo glowered at the man and began crushing him under the weight of the Force.

"Even though you are only a clone, you should hold some value in your own life," Kylo said.

With that being said, Kylo crushed the helmet over the man's head. Then he turned on the rest of them. He caught a glance of the Hux's enraged face. Kylo smirked and continued his onslaught, taking on three of them at one time.

"You miserable clones are failing!"

Kylo finished off the last clone to see Hux heading for his shuttle.

Of course, he was running. He didn't want to die now that he was the one running the First Order.

Kylo started to go after him but felt Rey reaching out through the bond.

Kylo, it's been 10 minutes already. Rey said sounding strained.

He hadn't been aware that the time had passed so quickly. He sighed.

What's wrong, sunshine, he asked turning to back for his ship.

"Until next time, Supreme Fool," Kylo called to Hux.

He blocked the blaster bolts shots from the stormtroopers, sending them back at the white-clad soldiers.

Just fighting off a Starkiller and some TIE fighters. I hope you're on your way, she called to him.

As he got back to the X-wing, the base finally blew. The ball of fire consumed the ships above the base and all the soldiers that had been sent to raid the fallen resistance base. It rocked the planet, shaking everything for a long moment.

Kylo climbed into his x-wing and took off into the sky. He fired shots at the TIE fighters, taking out one while Rey took out the other from the Falcon. The Starkiller began taking aim at the two ships and firing off shots that would instantly destroy the x-wing and the falcon if any were to actually hit.

"Let's get out of here," Kylo said to Chewie over the comm's as they used their small size of their ships to outmaneuver the large Starkiller ship.

The Wookie roared out a response and then they were racing away from Olara.

Kylo had to admit that he was a little sad to be leaving the planet behind.

Maybe once things had settled, he and Rey could come back and build their temple, their academy, whatever they were going to do with the Grey Ember Order, maybe they could do it there on Olara. His thoughts were of the future as the two ships dropped into hyperspace, fleeing across the galaxy to their new home right under Hux and Zoroyais' noses.
