Trandosha is an arboreal planet located in the galaxy's mid rim of planets. It's a temperal world of thick jungles and forests, is the planet that Finn and Poe had visited to find new recruits and new militarized weapons and crafts for the Resistance and it's the planet we can find whats left of the Rebellion now. About half of what they had and now they're down a general. On a platform, at the top of a small hill, stand several resistance member in uniform, along side several framed photos of the late General Leia Organa. The higest ranking officer now, Commander D'Acy, is giving a speech to what's left of the resistance as of now.

"I stand here today, unprepared and unqualified for the position that has been thrust upon with the very recent loss of General Leia Organa, aware that I can never fill her shoes, and hoping that I can do the best that I can for every resistance member here and those to come. General Organa, Leia, had been through and witnessed so much in the time that she had spent alive, which is what made her perfect for her position here. She was kind, intelligent, focused and always willing to do the right thing, no matter how hard it was and anyone who had the pleasure of speaking with her will truly feel the hole in the world that has been left behind. " D'Acy turned to look at the picture closest to her with tears in her eyes. " Leia Organa, you will be missed so very much, and we all hope that you're at peace with Han Solo by your side. "

D'Acy turned away from the picture, her eyes shut hard, a single tear escaping from her left eye. Lieutenant Connix walked up onto the stage to usher D'Acy off somewhere to let her grieve in peace. There wasn't a single dry eye at the death of someone so spectacular. When the group of people huddled around the stage had left to go about their days, only Rey, Finn and Rose remained. Rose and Rey had their heads on each of Finn's shoulders and he had an arm wrapped around each of them.

"Come on guys." Finn says to them, shaking them slightly. " Let's go get some food. " Rose shook her head agreeably but Rey did not. "No. I think I'll just stay here for a bit. " she responded quietly with her head down. She was in no mood for food right now. Finn releases her from his grasp and gives her a small nod before walking off with Rose. Rey watches as they leave and then turns back around to face the memorial photos of Leia before she plops down onto the ground, knees up so that she can rest her head on them. Her arms wrap around her legs and she closes her eyes to focus on the emotions she was feeling in an effort to control them, a few tears running down her face.

She relishes the silence for no more than thirty seconds before the sensation of someone watching her begins to flood her senses. Her eyes snap open and her gaze lands on HIM. He was just sitting there... watching her. " How dare he look at her. Not now! " She screams to herself. She needed time to process and heal. She knew he wasn't choosing to be here with her either, but just looking at him made her the angriest she had felt in so long.

" What are you doing down there? " He asked her. Rey looked away and refused to answer. Kylo Ren stood up slowly, Rey watching his movements out of the corner of her eye, and he walked over towards her. His towering body looming over her once he was close enough, making her flinch so slightly that he was almost unsure that she had. He was close enough now to realize that she was, or had been at least, crying. He looks around over his shoulders to see if he can figure out what was happening where she was, but without success.

He quietly extends a leather glove covered hand to help her up but she ignores the gesture. " You're acting like a child... Just, take my hand and stand up. " He says plainly before he pulls his hand back. "Fine. " He says after a few moments of silence. He walked infront of her and he slowly moves his arms towards her, sliding one in the gap of her knees where they were bent and the other behind her back before picking her up and cradling her. Rey lets out a gasp and then growls before turning her head to look at his face.

"Put me down you damn monster! " She screams at him as she flails around. " No." He quickly responds. She shoves his chest and pushes herself out of his arms. "What the hell was that!?" Rey yells to him as she stands to look him in the eyes. " I was just treating you like the child you were pretending to be. " " I'm not acting like a child! I'm in mourning... I'm mourning your mother..." She says with a sad face. Kylo Rens left eye twitched a bit and he took a step back before vanishing. Rey stood there for a but, processing what had happened and decided to take this opportunity to head to the training room and practice using her new lightsaber and let out some anger.

As Rey continues to practice, Finn enters and approaches her. "Rey. We're all meeting in the conference room soon to discuss the next plan of action for us. You should come too. " He finishes. Rey lowers her lightsaber. " Of course. Yeah. Let's head there now. " Rey says quietly as she deactivates her lightsaber. They walk arm and arm to the conference room and they notice Rose flagging them down, gesturing to the seats that she had saved. "You're girlfriend is adorable. " She says with a chuckle before they walk over.

D'Acy walks up to the podium as they take their seats and begins to speak. " Thank you, all of you, for coming here today. I know it's been a hard few weeks, so many losses and passings with only a few victories under our belt, but now is the time to discuss what the next step to take is. Trandosha is an ally planet so we've already begun to recuperate our numbers. Many locals flocking here to lend their assistance. Most of these people are only farmers or butchers though. No real military experience to find here so they will need very much training. As long as we aren't discovered here, I'd like to take extra time train these new recruits. I would like everyone to be at their best before we engage in any further combat."

"Also, the Trandoshans are aware of the incidents that occurred on Ryloth so they're nervous about having us here, which is completely reasonable. We need to keep these people safe so protect the information we have about our location like we have never done before. We need to start doing better. Does anyone have any questions or comments before we conclude?" No one in the room raises their hands, they all just, look around at each other quietly. " No? Okay then. " D'Acy says. " You're all dismissed then. Get to training. "

As the people file out, D'Acy calls out, " Rey, Finn, Rose. Could you please stay back for a few moments?" The three of them look and each other before heading over to her. As they approach her, she begins to speak. " I'm sure you're more than aware that I didn't mention Poe. I'm not planning on abandoning him. What I would like, is for the three of you to sneak on board Kylo Ren's ship somehow and rescue him. He's valuable to the rebellion and he has so much knowledge on our inner workings and I fear that no matter how hard we try to succeed, we shall not win with Poe as his hostage. "

" I'm down to rescue Poe regardless, but do you seriously think that he would give up information on us like that? He's tougher than that and I know that he would rather die than sell us out... " Finn responds angrily. " I'm well aware how tough Poe Dameron is Finn. I know that he wouldn't give us up, but Kylo Ren is a sith lord... He can gain whatever information he would like from him without Poe ever speaking. " D'Acy says so surely. " What she says is true Finn. He can steal memories and feelings and all kinds of information from your head like it's nothing. " Rey replied.

" Damn. Well, thats even more reason to go get him. How will we do this though? " Finn asked. " I have an idea... " Rey says quickly. " We take the Millennium Falcon. I fly, Finn, Rose and BB-8 stow away on board and after I've left the Falcon they can sneak out once the ship has been checked, find Poe and escape!" " But wait... what would you be doing...? " D'Acy asks. " I'll say that I've gone there to speak to Kylo Ren about the offer he made to train me in the ways of the force. " "But, why would he believe that now? " Rose asks. " Because, now that Leia is gone, there actually is no one alive that can train me. He's all I have left aside from the books in the Falcon is myself and I can't really do this on my own. "

They all think the plan over for a few minutes before Finn finally speaks up, breaking the silence. " How would you get back to us though? Once we're ready to go? " " I'm not sure yet, but I'll figure it out. " Rey says confidently. " No! No way. I'm not gonna leave you alone with him again ever. Not without a sure plan of escape for you. " "Finn... " She says quietly. " I'll be fine. Even if you guys have to leave without me, I can pilot almost any craft. I'm sure a Tie fighter won't be any problem. " " The fact that you're so confident about all this is alarming. " " I would find it alarming as well, but, I don't lately. This newfound power that's inside of me makes me certain of the things I can and can't do and I'm certain that this will work... "

D'Acy looks at the three of them and says, " Okay. We have most of a plan, so let's make this happen. And I'm going to need all of you to come back. You're some of the best we have and we cant afford to loose you. " She says with a weak smile. Rey, Finn and Rose head out and begin to prepare for the mission they were all about to embark on. When Finn and Rose finish gathering their supplies, they all meet up at the Falcon where Rey, BB-8 and Chewie were already waiting with the ship ready to go.

" Chewie?? " Finn exclaims. " What are you doing here?? " Chewbacca lets out a few growls and grunts and Rey translates. " He says, he is my copilot so we can't leave without him. " Rose lets out a laugh and heads to the back to set her stuff down while Chewbaccagrowls some more. " He also says that he'll hide as well so that he can accompany you. He says that you'll need his help. " "How the hell are we suppose to go find Poe with a wookie following us?? He's not gonna blend in??"

Chewbacca pulls out a pair of handcuffs and growls some more. " Chewie says, that you knock out the stormtroopers who will most likely come through to inspect the ship, steal their armor and blasters, cuff him and then escort him to the holding cells... which is perfect actually... " Rey tells him. " Well, yeah. That's great. Have you done this before or did you just come up with that plan? " Finn asks. Chewbacca lets out a few grunts and the Rey follows it with, " He said somethig similar has happened before. " " And it worked? " " It worked until they ended up in a trash compactor, but they made it out alive. " She says with a smile.

Everyone buckles in and the Millennium Falcon powers up and flys up into the sky before engaging in lightspeed to reach their destination. During the hyperspeed travel, BB-8, Chewbacca, Finn and Rose slide down into the floor of the ship and Rey slides the grating back over the hole to secure her friends. Once she finishes, she changes into a new outfit. Very similar to other, but with much more grey. She lets her hair down to restyle it when the ship leaves lightspeed and a red light begins to flash as a siren goes off.

" What's happening!? " Finn yells from below deck. " Nothing. Calm down. We're just approaching Kylo Rens ship. " She replies as she takes a seat in the pilots chair and looks up at the ship. It's enormous. Smaller than Snoke's, but still larger than needed. Rey flips several switches as she makes her approach and lands inside the hangar. As soon as she touches down and the hydraulic door opens several stormtroopers enter and find Rey. She gets cuffed and escorted out by two stormtroopers while two remain to search the ship.

Once outside of the Falcon, Rey is greeted by the Knights of Ren and Kylo Ren himself. He is wearing a very similar outfit the the one he normally wears, but his also has much more grey. " Welcome Rey. I'm glad that you're here. " He says with a small smile. He walks over and to Rey and takes her lightsaber in his left and grabs Rey by her left arm with his right hand and walks her to his throne room. Once they leave, two stormtroopers leave the Falcon with a wookie as prisoner and head towards the holding cells. No one seems to suspect a thing. BB-8 remains on the Falcon to safeguard the ship.

Kylo Ren and Rey walk in silence with the Knights of Ren following closely. When they arrive in the throne room, Kylo Ren doesn't take a seat, but stands infront of her after he releases her arm while the Knights file out around the room. She looks around to see a similar set up to Snoke's throne room. The walls are metal and balck cloth and the Knights of Ren are standing guard. " What are you doing here Rey? Come to kill me for killing my mother? Tell me how terrible I am. That I really am a monster? " He jokes.

Rey looks around at her surroundings before looking up at him and into his chocolate brown eyes. " I'm here in a sense because you did killed your mother, but I'm not here to fight with you. With your mother gone and your uncle, I have no one left to train me and I still have so much left to learn. I know that you and I have had our issues, and I'm not willing to join you in your conquest, but I won't get in your way anymore, from now on, at least, not while I'm you're student. " She told him, never breaking eye contact with him. It was silent for an uncomfortable amount of time while Kylo Ren looked her over and thought to himself.

" What are you trying to do? Actually?" He asked her with a firm look. " I'm just trying to learn... " She responded nervously. They just looked at each other for a few minutes before Kylo Ren spoke up. " You want me to train you? Me? Even if I were to agree to such a thing, how could I be sure that you would listen to me? You might not like something I ask you to do or want to argue with me... How could I trust that you wouldn't kill me the first change you get" " There's always a chance of any of those things happening. I can't guarantee how I will or won't act. We would just, have to cross that bridge when we get there... But you are the only person I have left to show me what to do. Killing you now would serve me no purpose. "

Kylo Ren watches her as she speaks and doesn't look away... He's studying her to attempt to figure out if she being honest. Rey never looks away. She knows that the things she had just said held some truth and it devastated her. He actually was all she had left... " If I agree to this, to training you... " He said breaking her out of her depressing thoughts. " You have to stay here... Until we have completed your training... You can have your own room, acess to most of my ship, but if I discover you've been communicating with anyone in the resistance while on board... I won't hesitate to kill you..." He tells her solemnly.

Rey looks up with wide eyes at him. She hadn't planned on being serious about accepting the offer she had used as bait to get her friends and herself on board his ship. It was all a ruse, but for some reason, being here, talking with Kylo Ren, the look in his eyes, she began considering the possibility of actually staying and training with him. She could use help and maybe spending more time with him in person, she could slowly get him to shift from the darkside, to the light.

" What have you decided? " He says to her as he waves his right hand over her cuffs, unlocking them. They fall to the ground with a heavy thud. He extends a hand to her while she rubs her sore wrists and after a moment of looking at him and thinking, she takes his hand with her own and he grips it firmly while he shakes it. " I'll be holding onto your lightsaber for a while. Until I'm certain that you won't kill me in my sleep with it. " He says to her. Her eyebrows furrow a bit and she bites her tounge but relaxes after a few seconds. Pleased with her reaction, he looses his grip on her hand slowly until he finally let's go before saying, " Let me show you to your room then..."
