Three Raging Rens

Kylo Ren has lost his temper many times before; but to be fair, these last few were all her fault.

~~1~~

There was no way he, nor Rey, could control when the Force bond would activate. So, when the bond flared, he wasn't expecting Rey to be in the Falcon's sonic shower, sitting on the floor in tears. She hadn't looked at him, but he'd heard her mumbled words.

"Go away." Rey had murmured before another wave of fresh tears rolled down her cheeks.

Before Kylo could approach her, he heard a door open and the calm voice of his own mother.

"Rey." His mother softly said from the darkness that blinded Kylo from seeing Rey's surroundings. "We'll get through this."

"But…"

"Poe will contact us once after his Squadron is safely away from their mission." Leia voice echoes out.

The sonic shower is turned off, most likely from Kylo's mother, and Rey takes hold of an offered towel. She's slow to rise up from the floor but makes certain that the towel covers her from his view. However, as she wraps the towel around, Kylo notices a small bump has formed upon her belly.

"I do hope that once Poe has returned that you'll tell him about his child." Leia says, which causes Rey to blush.

"Child." Kylo growls out at Rey, fury growing quickly and bleeding through their bond. "You're pregnant with that Pilot's child!"

His anger is so strong that the glass door to the shower shatters into a million pieces, several shards exploding outwards. Many of them embed themselves into the back of Rey's shoulders. Kylo isn't sure what happened afterwards due to the Force bond closing. His personal quarters didn't survive his fury.

Kylo was standing on the bridge of the newest ship in the First Order fleet when the bond opened once more. At the moment, the fleet was engaging with the Resistance ships fleeing from their base on Fondor. He was so focused on the battle that he didn't fully realize that the bond was fully active till he heard the low moans and groans that came through. It took Rey, letting out a whimper before Kylo turned around.

There she was, the woman who he had the entire First Order hunting for, crouched down in front of a seat. Her arms were clutching onto the arms of the chair, her forehead pressing into the padded seat.

"I'm here." The Resistance Pilot says suddenly.

Kylo sees the man kneeling beside Rey, gently rubbing her back.

"You…" Rey gasps out before having to groaning out the rest. "should be fly…flying."

"Snap can handle the flying, sweetheart. We've got a bigger issue to deal with right now."

Rey grits her teeth and tightens her hold on the arms of the chair. "Poe."

"I've gotcha."

The pilot disappears, leaving only Rey visible through the bond. Kylo steps closer, entranced by the laboring woman. Then, she turns her head to look directly at him, acknowledging that he's there. Their eyes lock for what seems like an eternity before the ship Rey is on shakes and shutters. It's then that Rey lets out scream filled with intense pain, removing one of her hands from its place and settling it on her rotund belly.

Before Kylo can say anything, the bond closes once more, and he finds himself back aboard the bridge. The Resistance fleet now gone, leaving only the destroyed leftovers of the casualties behind.

"Are we able to track any of their ships?" Kylo shouts, knowing that Rey is giving birth to her child aboard an unfamiliar ship. Both of them have slipped out of his reach.

"No, sir."

That wasn't the answer he was looking for from the commander. No one survived the destruction Kylo had done on the bridge that day.

He really should have known that his latest episode of rage would be his last. After six years of searching the galaxy, Kylo had finally discovered where Rey and her son were hiding. And not too long after that, Kylo's Knights of Ren were able to kidnap the boy and bring him to their master. Kylo had thought that turning the boy to the dark side would be easy, but the child was resilient on thwarting his attempts.

After only having the child on board the Finalizer for only a month, the Resistance and their allies had brought the fight to the First Order. Kylo had his knights and the boy sequestered deep inside of his flag ship as he went to face Rey, who had managed to lead a landing party aboard. By the time he was halfway to the landing bay, Kylo felt the bond ripple between himself and Rey. She had somehow managed to dispatch his knights and was now reunited with her son.

He waited in the shadows of the landing bay, setting a trap for Rey and her Resistance members to walk right into. It only took a matter of minutes before Rey, the traitor, the pilot, and the boy to arrive. As they ran across the deck, Kylo made his move. With his lightsaber drawn, he went straight for Rey. The two battled each other with their lightsabers.

Several troopers, who had been chasing the small group, focused their blasters on the others.

"Finn, get Alec to the ship!" Poe shouted, wanting to make sure that his son made it safely aboard their ship. "I'll cover you."

Finn and the boy hurried to the ship, where several other Resistance members tried to help with providing additional cover fire for the pair.

With those two now on board the ship, Kylo Ren became even more furious. He wasn't going to allow the ship to leave; however, he needed to get past Rey first.

"Your son is mine!" Kylo shouted at Rey between the crackling of energy from their weapons clashing.

"No, he isn't. He'll never join you." Rey countered, mustering all of her strength into the fight.

"We'll see."

The pair continued with their fight, but Kylo knew that they were equally matched. But she had a weakness, and Kylo was going to exploit it. The pilot, who hadn't left his place of cover and was most likely waiting for Rey.

Using the Force, he shoved Rey away before reaching out and directing a blaster bolt towards an unsuspecting Poe. He'd heard Rey scream out, but it was too late for the pilot. Having turned slightly towards Rey, the bolt hit true. Right into the pilot's chest.

Feeling rage coming through the bond, Kylo found himself pulled back into the fight; having to dodge more of Rey's attacks than ever before. He was pleased with his handy work. Not only was the pilot now out of his way, but Rey was starting to turn towards the dark side. Yet, there was still a pesky, steady beat of the light side that held the darkness at bay.

Suddenly, the ship vibrated from an explosion from deep within, and that was enough to distract both Kylo and Rey. Seizing the opportunity, Kylo imbedded his lightsaber in Rey's stomach. But he hadn't been the only one to strike: Rey's blade was stuck dead center in his chest.

Both of them stand there for a moment, knowing that neither of them was expecting that they were going to deal a death blow to the other.

As Kylo's body finds the floor, he sees the pilot slowly dragging himself towards where Rey had stumbled and fallen. A trail of blood follows Poe as he inches closer and closer. Rey, too, is slowly crawling towards the pilot. Kylo can't hear what the two are saying into a com-stick, but he feels the wind of a ship taking off just as an explosion engulfs the hanger bay.
