Hux stabbed Kylo with a syringe. Both he and Padme cried out in pain. She was crying. She could not hear the conversation between Ben and Hux.
"Let's have a little chat, Jedi," Hux said in a calm but sinister voice. He pulled up a chair and sat by Kylo's side. He had a datapad in his hand.
"Ben, what is going on?" Padme asked.
"Hux just stuck me with a needle. Padme, you need to cut off the Force bond," Kylo begged her.
"So Jedi, you think you are a hero, attacking my Stormtroopers," Hux began. "But look at you now. I could easy do anything to you, even kill you."
"So kill me!" Kylo snarled in anger. Padme felt his fury, and begged him to be calm. But it was not in his nature to do so, unless he was with her.
"I have a proposition for you, Jedi," Hux continued.
"I am no Jedi!" Kylo screamed at him. Padme felt Ben's anger. She had not felt this since she almost turned to the Dark side.
"But you were a Jedi once, right?" Kylo shook his head no, and felt a pain shock in his body. Padme felt it, too.
"If you lie, your body will get shocked," Hux explained to him. "I suggest that you tell the truth. So what is your name?"
"Ben," Kylo replied, trying to calm himself down. Hux was typing.
"Last name?"
"Kenobi." Kylo was shocked again.
"Your birth name."
"Ben Kryze," Kylo gasped, hoping that Padme could not hear this conversation.
"Are you related to Duchess Satine Kryze?" Hux asked, surprised by the prisoner's last name.
"She is my grandmother." Kylo did not want to tell the general anything, but whatever Hux had injected him with forced him to be honest.
"Interesting. I never met a Mandalorian before. No wonder you fought like you did. So, ex Jedi, why did you attack my troops?"
"They were harassing a young Twilek boy. They need to pick on someone their own size!"
"Ben, please calm down. I don't want you to get hurt," Padme pleaded, wishing that she could see or at least hear what he was dealing with.
"You are powerful in the Force, Ben. The First Order could use you to take control of the galaxy," Hux coolly told him.
"I will not join! I hate the First Order!" Kylo snapped.
"You will join, Ben. You have no choice. I can see the anger in your eyes. You don't care if you live or die. But there is someone out there that you must care about."
"Ben, what is wrong?" Padme yelled. But Kylo would not answer her.
"My family is dead. There is no one I care about," Kylo uttered, before suffering another shock.
"Ben," Hux grunted, grabbing Kylo's face. "You are lying. Tell me the name of the person you care about. The more you lie, the stronger the shocks will get."
"There is no one!" Kylo screamed, anticipating the shock to his body. It was a strong one. Padme grabbed her stomach in pain.
"Ben, what is going on?" Padme begged for him to reply. But he refused. He felt horrible that she was aware of his predicament.
"Maybe you need to know what I want from you," Hux said, letting go of Kylo's face. " I need you to find the Rebel bases."
"How I am suppose to do that?' Kylo questioned, in discomfort from the torture he was being put through.
"By using your Force powers, of course."
"I will not help you!"
"You will help me. Which reminds me..." Hux stated, before stabbing Kylo with another syringe.
"I need the name of the person you care about," he added, as he spoke into Kylo's ear. Kylo said nothing, but grunted as his body was being shocked repeatedly.
"The longer you remain silent, the quicker you will succumb to death," Hux warned him. "Now it would be a shame for that to happen, wouldn't it?"
"Ben," Padme pleaded with him. "Please answer me. Please tell me you are all right!" But Kylo was not all right. He couldn't take the pain anymore.
"Her name is Padme Desertwar," Kylo finally confessed. Hux pulled away from Kylo and typed the girl's name in his datapad. The tears flowed down Kylo's face.
"Please answer me," Padme called out to Ben, her tears matching his.
"Ben, if you do not reveal the Rebel bases, I will find her," Hux taunted him.
"No," Kylo begged. "Leave her alone!"
"I will find Padme, and bring her before you. If you do not reveal the bases, I will rape and kill her before your eyes."
Kylo 's eyes widened in horror. He unsuccessfully tried to escape from his restraints. Padme sensed his fear, and kept asking him to talk to her. But he refused. He had already put her life in danger.
"Leave her alone!" Kylo shouted, disgusted by how evil Hux was. Kylo knew he was dark, but Hux took evil to another level!
"I will, as long as you find the bases for me," Hux reminded him. "So Ben, what will it be?"
Kylo hated this. He hated Hux and everything the First Order stood for. But he had to protect Padme. Even if he never saw her, he did not want her to be tortured by Hux.
"If I agree to this, I want to wear my black outfit and mask. I want to be addressed as Kylo Ren. And I want my lightsaber back," Kylo demanded.
"I will agree on the outfit and the name, but not the lightsaber. You are not to go out and fight. I need you alive, and you could die in the battlefield. I will keep your lightsaber locked away," Hux explained.
"Now where is the Rebel base?" he demanded, his gaze intense on Kylo. Ben closed his eyes and meditated. He was sickened for what he was about to do.
"The Rebel base is located on Sullust, at the mining facility at Inyusu Tor," Kylo told Hux. The general gave him an evil smile.
"Now that wasn't so hard, was it? See, you are not being shocked. Which means you are telling me the truth." Hux walked to the door and called for the Stormtroopers. He turned to Kylo and said,
"As long as you keep revealing the bases, Padme will remain safe." The Stormtroopers released Kylo from his restraints.
"Take him back to his cell, and make sure he dresses himself. He is not to be harmed," the general commanded.
The soldiers dragged Kylo back to his cell, and left him to dress himself. He was so upset, he didn't even put his helmet back on.
Padme knew the torment was over, but a new pain washed over her. Ben was not talking to her. She felt he was depressed, angry and waiting to die. Her heart yearned for him.
"Ben, please come and meet me," Padme said to him. She quickly fell asleep.
