Ben was shoved roughly into a small, featureless black cell. The door hissed shut behind him before he could even turn around. Ben shrugged out of the binders and them drop to the floor. 'Are you ok?' He thought towards his wife but received no answer. 'Rey?' Dread began to claw at his guts. 'Rey!' He bellowed to no avail.

He pulled his light saber off his belt, igniting it as he raised it and attacked the black door with all of his panicked concern. Blow after blow sent a shower of sparks raining over him but that was all they did. The door remained pristine. Frustrated, he attacked the rest of the cell with even more fervor and reaped the same result.

"Now, now." Came a smug voice from behind him once he'd exhausted all hope for a quick escape. He whipped around, "Did you really think I'd allow you to keep your weapon if it wasn't completely useless?" Asked the hologram being dressed entirely in white. It was a fully matured male humanoid with snowy white hair, bright violet eyes and even brighter blue skin of prime age.

"What is this?" Ben demanded hotly.

"What this is, dear boy, is a cage built just for you." The being said in it's low, silky voice.

"If you built this cage for me then you must know who I am." Ben eyed the blue man dangerously. "If you know who I am, then you must know that no cage is going to hold me for long."

The being laughed. "Oh, I know who you are, Kylo Ren, even in the uncharted territories we've heard of you. It's a strange thing, space... Amazing in it's ability to allow all manner of things to just keep going and going until something, or someone gets in their way." It said smugly. "Communicatoon transmissions for example... I wonder, are your people even aware that everything you broadcast just keeps going and going long after it's been received by it's intended recipient?"

Ben scowled.

"No? I thought not."

Ben wanted so badly to rip his captor apart piece by piece if for no other reason than to divest the man of his smugness.

Ben deadpanned as his eyes scanned the being. "You seem to be working with very old intel if you thought this technological terror of yours had any chance of success." He smiled tightly. "Hasn't word reached you yet about what happens when madmen attack the people we care about?"

"'We,' is it? Are you referring to your beloved First Order?" The being frowned thoughtfully. "You are the madmen who attack indescriminantly."

"No," Ben said mildly. "Not the First Order." He stepped threateningly toward the holograph. "We Skywalkers."

The being laughed. "You're no Skywalker, boy. That line ended more than a decade ago with the disappearance of Luke Skywalker." It scoffed. "And he had no children."

"He had a sister." Ben said and felt his own smugness creep in when the blue alien looked startled. "A twin sister… you may have heard of her." He grinned wolfishly as the startled look turned to one of fear. "Princess Leia Organa of Aldaraan, heroine of the rebellion against the Empire, daughter of Anakin Skywalker, twin sister of Luke Skywalker, wife of Han Solo and my mother!" He finished triumphantly, feel even more so because the blue alien looked absolutely terrified now.

"Impossible!" The frightened man in white cried. "If General Organa was your mother or a Skywalker I would know about it."

"Would you?" Ben said ominously. "Would you really know a secret that big? One that's never been revealed to the public?"

The holograph disappeared in a blink.

Ben's satisfaction at having rattled his host didn't last long, his mind bounced back to Rey in an instant. 'Rey!' He shouted in his mind. She didn't answer.

'I would know if she died,' he told himself soothingly, 'she must be alive.' He eyed the black cell. 'A cage built for me, indeed,' He thought, 'complete with Force dampening walls, floor and ceiling.'

"I can't feel him!" Rey panicked.

'Ben!' She screamed into her mind for at least the dozenth time. "He disappeared! Just gone!"

Chewie purred back a short burst of words.

"No, he can't be dead, I'd know if he was!" Rey said despite the choking fear she was feeling for him. "He's just gone!"

"Rey!" Poe yelled down from the crowsnest gun turret. "Come up here!"

Rey unstrapped ftom the co-pilots seat and went to see Poe. "What is it?" She asked ftom the ladder well.

"Take over, I need to talk to Chewbacca." He unfastened his safety belt. "I have an idea." He said, climbing down the rungs in a hurry and brushing past her.

"Don't worry, Rey!" Finn called out from the belly gunwell. "We'll get him back!" Over the past five months Finn had come to accept Ben as a member of the team, Rey's husband and a friend. It hadn't been easy at first, especially in reguards to Rey. Rey was the first real friend he'd ever had, his first female acquaintence, his first crush, she meant a lot to him in so many ways and it had been months before he could find it in himself to warm up to the man she had chosen over him. Once he had though, he came to realize that while Ben Solo still had a few issues to work on - especially with his temper, he was actually a rather decent individual.

She plopped down in the gunner's seat and strapped in. "You can bet on it!" She called back.

"There are no indications that what you say is true, boy." The blue alien said haughtily when it's holoimage returned a moment later. "It's odd though, a Jedi who lies so well."

"Believe what you want." Ben scoffed. "It makes no difference to me... or to what I'm going to do to you."

"What you're going to do to me?" The being laughed. "Fool, you can't touch me. Your Jedi powers are useless inside that cell and you're never getting out of there alive."

"I'll be out of here within the hour." Ben said confidently. "But never worry, I'm not leaving this ship until I kill you."

"I do admire your confidence, young one, but I'm afraid you're quite mistaken if you think that paltry rescue party has any chance of success." The blue man made a tsk tsk sound. "Even now my men have them cornered miles from where you are."

Ben was too startled to hide his surprise. 'Damn it, Rey!' He thought trying to reach beyond the walls of his cell.

"Don't tell me you didn't know your silly little wife and her rebel friends had arrived." The man in the pristine white uniform said lightly. "I'm guessing that you're not even going to know when I kill her."

"If you harm so much as a hair on her head, I promise you…" Ben's voice and visage carried enough threat to cause a flicker of fear to cross the blue man's face. "You will beg for death for a very very long time before I allow you to die… screaming."

"What's that?" The alien looked away, his face lit up and he looked back at Ben. "Well, now that does change things! It seems we've captured your very pregnant wife! A jedi baby of my very own! How delightful!" It laughed maniacly.

The echoing laughter cut off as soon as the holoimage disappeared but was instantly replaced by Ben's anguished roar.
