First Order base…
"Ellie, while I'm greeting our guest, I want you to kill them."
"Why? Who is it?" I asked as we walked to an elevator.
"It doesn't matter. I will-"
"Yes it does. If I'm assassinating someone, I think I should know who it is."
"You will just have to trust me."
I resisted yelling at him for murdering my mother. I needed to keep his trust.
"Is it someone from the Resistance?"
"He is a supporter of the Resistance, but claims to be a neural party. I need you to stay hidden, but keep your eyes on him the entire time." I felt the Force bending my mind to his will, and I hated it, but I couldn't stop it.
"Yes, master."
"I'm taking you to a platform above where Hux and I are greeting him. Just follow us, and I'll let you know when to do it," he said.
"Why aren't you doing it yourself?"
"He always has a few guards with him. If I take him down, they will just take me down." Well, I'm sure you could find a way, but-
"Fair enough. Stay alive, Master. I'll handle it."
"Wait for my cue."
"Yes sir."
He left me on the platform, and I watched him go off to the hangar to meet his guest. A few minutes later, an escort arrived with the guest. I didn't know who he was, but I could tell which one was my target. He was short, stout, and blue, with a short trunk for a nose and a pear shaped head. He didn't walk; he flew with small wings on his back. Master Ren and General Hux were talking to him and I ducked down as they walked below me. I turned around and watched them walk away, and I turned on my jet pack and flew to the next platform, then the next, slowly as they walked past the platforms. Finally they approached a hallway and turned down it.
I knew where the hallway led, so I decided to jump down and follow them. Using the jetpack to break my fall, I jumped down and landed near the entrance to the hall. I peeked in and saw the flourishing cape of General Hux, who was the caboose, I guessed. I turned around, and nobody was watching, so I followed them. I peeked down the corner they turned and they hadn't gotten very far, but they had passed a column in the wall where I could hide, but I noticed the guards, who completely surrounded him. One of them would see me, so I decided to wait a few more steps. When the time was right, I crouched down low and rushed to the column, pressing myself against it, and I found myself going from column to column, then they all turned into a two story room. I quickly scaled the stairs and took the top floor.
The room was a briefing room, I noticed. It almost looked like a theater auditorium, the way there were chairs everywhere, all facing the stage. It reminded me of my childhood, where Poe and I both starred in plays as small children. I shook the thought out of my head, and found a shadowy corner to hide where I could see. I watched my master explain a plan to him, and I listened to his plan while keeping an eye on the target. I made note of the guards, who had set themselves up across the room, watching the bottom floor.
Finally, he finished his presentation and the blue man started thinking.
"While your plan seems foolproof," the man stated in his native tongue, "I do not want to include my soldiers. I do not find this cause worthy of my support."
"Keep in mind, if you are not for me, you are against me," Master Ren clarified with a malicious undertone. It was almost time. I placed my hand on my holster, ready to draw and fire.
"I never said that!" He exclaimed, taken aback when it really was what he said.
"It seems that way to me," Hux chimed in. "Is that your final answer?" Hux asked.
"Can I just leave the deal up in the air so I can sleep on it?" The blue leader asked.
"No, I am afraid it is now or never," Hux stated bluntly. The blue man paused in thought.
"Yes. No is my final answer," he said with a curt nod.
"Kill his guards!" Kylo Ren shouted. Knowing my cue, I leaped into the air and turned on my jet pack, undoing my dual blaster and shooting all of the guards with little effort. They all landed on the floor with a plop. I clicked my blaster together and aimed it at the blue man.
"Ready to fire, on your command," I reported, landing gently next to my master.
"Wait!" The blue man shouted. "Don't shoot me! I will back you up, just please don't kill me!"
Kylo Ren scoffed. I knew what he was about to say, and I knew this man's fate.
"It's too late, Jubrys," he paused dramatically. "You've made your decision. Ellie, kill him."
I pulled the trigger before I could hear him beg anymore. It only made it more painful when they begged. I fell to my knees, removing my helmet and beginning to cry. I looked up at my master, who was staring at me through his cold, menacing helmet.
"What are you afraid of?" He asked. "Tell me."
"Myself," I answered simply. "I'm afraid of myself."
