The Millenium Falcon entered the Kerror system. She took deep calming breaths, but those in no way helped her palpitating heart. Two tie-fighters approached. She pressed the communication line, "I'm expected."
"Center yourself between us and we'll escorted you through the planet's atmosphere."One of the pilots buzzed over the line.
The Falcon was taken to a large hangar inside the planet's base. She landed leaving the shields up, and sliding a black cross guarded hilt underneath her clothes.
"Here we go.." and pressed for the ramp to release. Kylo Ren wasn't there to greet her which she found odd, but descended nevertheless.

"Well, well what Ares said was true." A tall handsome man with broad shoulders addressed her, "Your alive."

"O-obviously." She replied.

The man nodded giving her a look up and down, "You've certainly changed."

"Well, you haven't, Camulus. " the woman snapped. The man chuckled producing wrist cuffs,
"Come on the Supreme Leader is waiting."

Without hesitation she resigned to the cuffs, and a heavily armored trooper flanked each of her sides as Camulus led the way. As the blast door opened she let out an audible gasp from the three horrors in front of her.

Ben was on both of his knees. His face bloodied peppered with yellow and purple bruising skin. Ben was in so much pain his complexion ashen. He met her eyes with an utter expression of regret retaining tears in his sulken eyes. His ankles were shackled together. A robotic arm lay a few feet away. The other Knights of Ren stationed around the room.

This frightening unfortunate sight was eclipsed by the disfigured creature lording over the room. His upper half was just as when she'd last seen him disfigured-scared-leathery robed in gold however eight metal legs protruded from the lower half.

"Snoke…" the name came out of her in a rasp.

He wore a wicked evil grin on his scared deformed face.

"Well… well." His voice boomed. Ben looked at her with utter regret containing his tears in his eyes. The octopal-man moved forward. "Young mother of darkness come back from the dead." He chuckled.

The third and worst horror was Anakin being held captive by Hux's grip. The boy was sniveling, and had been visibly struck. He wanted to call out to his mother but in fear cowered.

She took further steps into the room keeping her eyes on Snoke-focusing ever so vigilant,
"It appears the both of us have come back from the dead, however I think you're a little more damaged than I." acknowledging the half machine keeping the creature alive and mobile, "Ben certainly did a number on you."

"Oh, how I certainly did miss out banter my dear girl, but I'm afraid that time has come to a definite end." Snoke relayed motioning a hand. The Knights readied their weapons. "Don't damage her too much. The geneticist will still need to harvest her eggs."

It was then the cuffs fell from her hands like they were never truly there, and Kylo Ren's lightsaber was ignited. The Supreme Leader chuckled reaching out a hand. The saber did not move.

"Tell me what's going to happen to Anakin!" She demanded. Ben eyed her stangley calling her son by name like that. The Knight's hesitated on approach as the Supreme Leader gestured to stop.
"He'll learn the greatness of the dark side of course, and all its power. He will soon remember you as a small blimp in his history."
"No! Mama" the boy was silenced by a shift abuse from Hux.

This caused both she and Ben to flinch. Snoke motioned the Knights to continue to approach, and she drew closer and closer to Ben. She slammed the saber between his ankle shackles and he while injured scrambled to his feet the best he could.

"Wait!" She yelled causing the Knights to halt again, "I want to say something."

Snoke sighed, "I've had enough talk. Finish them."

Then…

Calliope's image fell revealing a sun kissed girl with a three tiered bun.
"The scavenger!" Snoke screamed in outrage his eight metallic legs each slamming against the ground.

Ben looked at Rey with intense disbelief, took his saber from her outstretched hand and then yelled at his son.
"Anakin! What do you do when your scared!" there was a confused pause, "When your mother isn't around!"

The boy had a moment of thought before kicking Hux in the balls so his hands would release from his shoulders, and after a mere second of concentration vanished into thin air.

"Find the boy!" the octopal creature sneered. Hux began waving his hand around the air searching for a body.

Surrounding Ben in a circle were six other people all armored and weaponized that fell from the veil of shadow; one was the traitor storm trooper FN2187 who picked up his robotic arm,
"I think you'll need this."

A First Order captain ran into the room, "SUPREME LEADER TWELVE RESISTANCE CRUISERS JUST ENTERED OUR ATMOSPHERE. WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!"

Hux recovered from his attacker, "Impossible! Our planetary shields!"

"Are bio encrypted and grant all commanding DNA access." The voice came from behind the captain who fell over unconscious, "You should really keep your DNA files updated." Calliope entered the room dusting off her grey cape with the flick of the wrist.


I hope you all understand the thing hidden in plain sight. In the scene between Ben and "She" I never once said it was Calliope. We're getting near the end my dears, however, I have a lot in store a prequel to this and perhaps... a sequel who knows!

Love you all... you are all wonderful individuals!
