Chapter 5

Ben and Rey lay at the feet of Emperor Palpatine. His laughter continued to reverberate around the massive throne room as he looked about in his newly replenished body.
"Look what you have made. The Sith have returned!" he shouted. The Emperor gazed down at Rey and Ben and noticed their hands intertwined. He smirked at the sight and began to move away from them to sit back on his throne. But before he turned, he saw Ben move out of the corner of his eye. Turning quickly to face the scene, he watched as Ben struggled to pull Rey to him, holding her close. Ben brought his lips to her ear and spoke to her with all the strength he could muster.
"Be with me. Be with me, Rey. Please," he whispered, kissing her hair. Ben held her close and felt her stir in his arms. She gripped his hand and pulled herself up so she was looking into his eyes. Together they stood and called their lightsabers to them, igniting them once the lightsabers were in their grasp. They held their hand out towards the Emperor and pushed him with the Force. The Emperor was taken aback and fell to the ground. He tried to raise his hands up in order to shoot his lightning towards him but found that his arms were clenched at his sides. Ben had frozen him in place and held him there with the Force. Rey and Ben stood over the Emperor, ready to end the battle once and for all.
"Your rule is at its end, Grandfather," Rey began.
"The Sith will die with you," Ben continued. The Emperor screamed his rage and watched as the dyad raised their lightsabers together and ended his reign of terror. Emperor Palpatine was no more.
