Rey: "Wait, I don't feel drained of life force. I was..." She looks around and is not aware that she is now in the "World between the Worlds." Rey: "Where am I? What is this place?"/p

p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"Rey: "I still don't understand." Ahsoka: "It's Ok. Don't try to take it all in or make sense of it all at once." Rey looking around all perplexed sees Leia shift from as she last saw her to the way she looked in her youthful years during the original rebellion looking the same age as Rey. Rey: "Leia!" She runs up to her and gives her a hug. Rey: "I'm so sorry I failed! I..." Leia: "There is nothing you need to feel sorry for. You showed how strong your love and compassion were when you healed Ben and helped him rediscover his true self as Luke did for my father." Rey: "But Sidious used our bond to restore himself. Now the rebellion is lost, and the galaxy is doomed." Luke steps forward changing from his old, disillusioned self as she first met him to his youthful self. Luke: "It's never too late to turn things around. Not as long as you are unwilling to give up on hope. The one lesson I should've taught you from my training is that you are only a failure when you go your own way instead of listening and following the Will of the Force and failing to stand up for what you know in your spirit is right out of selfless love."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"Rey looks through one of the doors and sees herself back on Exogal still lying on her back and Sidious with his force storm all frozen in place and time. Nothing is happening. Rey: "Does this mean I'm dead?" Qui Gon: "Your spirit has become separated from your body of flesh, but that flesh still lives for now. You along with the rest of us are beyond time as you know it. For back there, time is no longer moving forward relative to here in this place. Where a moment there can be a whole eternity. That is where the Force is as are you right now. At the center of this one eternal moment." Rey: "I need to get back!" Yoda: "Get back you cannot." Anakin: "He's right, if you can't find your inner spiritual strength and your full connection to the Force, you will not be able to defeat Sidious. You are here to learn what has brought everything and all of us together here and now, and why you are the only one at this point in time who can restore the balance otherwise Sidious will continue to ravage the galaxy and potentially the entire universe." Rey: "How?" Leia: "By recognizing the difference between true power and power that is only an illusion. The truth about the light and the dark side. It is here that you will learn the secret of how to defeat Sidious, but also the Sith once and for all." Rey: "How?" Serenity: "By learning the events that brought all of us to this time and place through the all-seeing memory of the Force. Before anything else you must keep this in mind at all times. The knowledge that those like the Jedi and almost every sentient race has continuously forgotten across the ages. Best illustrated by the story of the two crondors." Rey: "What do birds have to do with stopping Sidious?" Serenity shows a vision of a grandfather with his granddaughter. Serenity: "In the story the grandfather tells his granddaughter, 'I have a terrible fight between two crondor birds with-in me. One is all that is dark and bad about me. This is one is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and overinflated ego. While the other is all that is light and good about me. This one is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, wisdom, compassion, selflessness, and faith. This same fight goes on inside you and every living person who can choose between light and dark. The granddaughter asks, 'Which one will win?' The grandfather responds, 'If you do it right then they both win along with you. For if you choose to feed only the crondor of light then the dark one will be hiding around every corner waiting for me to become distracted or weak and jump to grab my attention that one craves. The dark one will always be angry and always fighting the light one trying to supplant and seal that one away, but if I acknowledge the dark one then that one is happy along with the light one and we all win. For the dark crondor has many positive qualities in contrast to the negative. Such as tenacity, courage, fearlessness, strong-willed, and great intelligence for strategic thinking that I have need of at times that the light one lacks. But the light crondor has compassion, caring and the ability to recognize what is in the best interest of all. You see Rey like the grandfather is telling his grandchild you to have this same struggle with-in yourself. For you see the crondor of light needs the crondor of darkness and vice versa at either side. To focus all your effort and favor on only one would starve the other and they will become uncontrollable. To focus and care for both means they will both serve you well and do nothing that is not a part of something greater, something good, and something of life. Treat them both well and there will be no more internal conflict over your attention. There will be balance and peace. When this happens, you can listen to the Force speak to you of deeper knowing, wisdom, and understanding that will guide you in choosing what is right in every circumstance. Peace and harmony with all life and living beings is supposed to be the first goal in every sentients life. Anyone who has constant conflict with-in ultimately has nothing and will amount to nothing in the grandness of time. For them they are consumed an insatiable hunger that will never be satisfied or content. While one who does have peace inside has everything and knows they are a part of something greater than themselves which will continue on after their deaths. How you choose to interact with the opposing forces with-in you will determine your course through life. Keep this first and foremost in your mind as you see and learn what you will discover here.

p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"She guides Rey to another door that begins to show the past to her. Rey sees a family with a mother, a father that looks just like Rey's father, and an eight-year-old son. Rey: "Is that boy..." Serenity: "Yes Rey that is Palpatine before he fell and became Sidious." Rey: If this is a doorway to the past I could enter now and end this before..." Ahsoka: "You would only destroy yourself and so many other lives that were affected. Who were born and came together as a result of his actions. Besides, you are not here to change the past, but to learn from it to help you in the present. Keep watching and don't stop until you have learned what you need to know." Rey watches as the family scream at the sound blaster going off. Along with a lightsaber slashing. The door is blasted open to reveals Darth Plagus holding his humming crimson lightsaber. He force chokes them and demands, "Where is the Jedi?" The mother: "There is no Jedi here!" Darth Plagus: "Not you, I sense someone more powerful here." The young Palpatine takes Plagus's lightsaber by a force pull and holds it still ignited. Darth Plagus: "Your son!" Both parents scream, "Run!" Then Plagus kills them with force lightning. He then pulls his lightsaber out of Palpatine's hands, levitates him, and asks Palpatine, "Do you know why I had to kill your parents. To free you. They or the Jedi would hold you back from discovering your true potential. I feel it. The force is strong with you. If you want to become more powerful, I can make that happen. I can open to you a path that will give you more power than you can ever imagine. The entire galaxy will kneel at your feet and will be yours to rule. You can live or die; the choice is yours. If you refuse you are not worthy of living." Palpatine trembles and submits, "I will learn what you want to teach me. I want this power you speak of." Darth Plagus: "Then understand that as of now you are a Sith. Learning to become a master of the dark side. You will be trained in the ways of the Sith as my master taught me and all the Sith stretching back untold generations under this code. Peace is a lie; there is only passion. Through passion we gain strength. Through strength, power. Through power victory. Through victory our chains are broken. The force shall set us free. By agreeing to submit to my teachings, you free yourself from the emotional bonds that your parents used to hold you back. The strength and power you desire will attract others to you who will serve you to possess the tiniest sliver of your power and become dependent on you until they desire to destroy you in-order to take your place so that they too are worthy of that power. Those who resist will find they are nothing next to you. For the weak are the meat that the strong shall eat. And never forget that in the Sith, as started by Darth Bane after the fall of the first Sith empire, there can only be two. A master and an apprentice. One who possess the power and one who desires it. Prove yourself worthy or you will be cast aside to make room for a worthier apprentice. So, don't stop working to prove yourself worthy. For when you prove that you are worthy then you must kill me to take my place. Until then you will do and learn what I teach you as my apprentice." Palpatine: "I will, my master."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px; font-family: Verdana, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"The vision ends and Rey finds herself back in the "World between the Worlds." Rey: "So Palpatine was given no choice but to learn the ways of the Sith, but why didn't he escape and leave it behind?" Serenity points to another door. It shows the later part of his training. Serenity: "As time wore on, Plagus got more and more brutal with his training. There was a struggle within Sidious between his good and dark half. It was always within his power to stop and find balance, but he grew to desire more and more power. To become Plagus superior in every way. He eventually chose to seal away all that was good within him. Then the day came when he successfully killed his master and became Darth Sidious. Plagus had also taught him how to use the force to influence the midiclorians. The foundation of all life to create life. However, when a force user uses the force as means for obtaining power for domination, oppression, control, and destruction that reveals the double-edged blade of the dark side. Its base nature is to consume and feed off twisted pride and take joy in causing pain to others and instilling fear in their hearts, while for the wielder it becomes a hunger that can never be satisfied. For one who chooses to be ruled by darkness ends up becoming consumed by it from the inside out. So evil force users do all they can to vanquish mortality and become immortal Gods by infusing their essence. Their dark twisted spirit to an object. Like he wanted to do to you and what he originally wanted to do with Anakin. For you see, Rey, only when one who is a force user is willing to go through the spiritual training and is willing to selflessly let go of their lives on the mortal material plane can they move freely and have power and presence in the material plane as the will of the force directs them. As Luke did for you when all you wanted to do was run away. Or when Luke was willing to give up on the Jedi, and Yoda came to teach him the lesson of how failure can help make one better than they were before. But for those who become champions of evil, the only way they can still have power and a presence in mortal plane is by infusing their spirit to an object or supplanting their souls into another force sensitive's body. Or a personal object that they always made sure was infused with their energy." Anakin: "That's where I come in."/p
