As Rey's lifeless body lay spread across the cold granite ground, all was quiet. The force remain still in reverence of her sacrifice. Disturbing the silence, an arm reached out from the cliff. Ben lifted himself from the cliff, struggling to regain his strength with each step. Rey, his saving grace, was dead. With a sorrowful, agonizing scream, Ben let out all his despair into the world. Not only had he lost his mother, but also the only other person who came close to understanding him. She was his equal in the force, soulmates destined by the balance to be together. Yet, with the twist of fate she was gone. Knowing what he had to do, he transferred what little life he had left to Rey. Waking up suddenly, Rey quickly noticed Ben. He had saved her, but at what cost? No longer thinking, but feeling, the dyad became one as Rey and Ben locked lips. As he drifted away, Rey could feel the life slipping away from Ben. Rushing to save him, Rey quickly transferred some of her life force back to Ben. Rey needed to act fast to save his life.
Rushing to Luke's nearby X-Wing, Rey forced his limp body into the cockpit. Knowing she could not return to the Resistance base with Ben, she decided to make a stop at a familiar planet; Tatooine. At landing, she immediately alerted for a medic. Luckily, there was a force healer near the old abandoned moisture farm. Siea-Ve, the healer asked Rey, "How was he hurt?" Rey replied, "Fighting the supreme leader." At hearing those words, Siea-Ve instantly recognized Ben Solo as Kylo Ren. Siea-Ve probed, "Why are you trying to save the life of a man who has taken the lives of many innocents?" Rey answered, "Because he also saved the lives of many innocents. He is no longer Kylo Ren. He is Ben Solo."
Ben suddenly awoke from his regenerative slumber, and found himself in the moisture farm. Looking around, he finally found Rey. "You're ok!" Rey exclaimed in delight. "I was worried you were already lost to us." "I couldn't leave you if I tried, Princess." Ben retorted. "I see my patient is healing nicely," Siea-Ve interjected, with a smile. "You should leave soon, so the Resistance doesn't discover you." "Where should we go?" Rey asked, confused. "Naboo. We'll be safe there. No one knows it was once inhabited by my grandfather."
