Author's Note: More mother and daughter bonding time here in this chapter and much more to be revealed about Rey's mother's past history with her former group, the Knights of Mandalore, Mandalorians who practice the light side of the force.


After finishing her spar with Smud and Asula, Reina spent the rest of her day training with the rest of the members of the Seven: Kovu, Kozu, Niles, and Malliek. Reina's favorite was with Malliek's for he is of Kylo Ren' closet students and also skilled in hand-to-hand close combat.

"I'm impressed, Reina. Kylo Ren has taught you well," Malliek said.

"Thank you. I see the same in you," replied Reina.

"I presume so. The only thing is that Kylo Ren did not spend enough time on showing everything he knows about other aspects of the Force. I was hoping that you, in time, will share that additional knowledge with us."

Reina, hesitated at first, not knowing what to say next, but then said, "Kylo has taught me many things and there is so much overlap between his and your teachings that I will need time to see if there's…anything missing."

Malliek, with a nod smile on his face, said, "Good to hear. Let me know once you do."

Malliek left the room and went to his quarters to rest. Reina did the same, but felt something funny about Malliek. Reina felt there is either anxiety or an utter sense of betrayal inside Malliek's heart. It's probably the feeling of Kylo Ren leaving these poor knights behind that they all need a new leader to show them new things. The path of the dark side requires continuous development and growth. To achieve, one must have passion and the raw power of emotional resilience to overcome barriers to one's use of the Force.

Reina went back to her room only to be surprised by a red and black treasure chest, lying on her bed. Reina walked over and opened it.

"What is this?" Reina asked.

"Something I want to give to you, my daughter," Lady Ren said, "Please…take it out."

Reina took out a set of a red and black color pattern uniform as a Knight of Ren. Reina admired the beauty of crimson red with a sleek of blackness in some interior areas.

"Thank you, Mother. It's quite unique and different compared what the others wore."

"It is. It's based design on the Imperial Knights of the old Empire, but modified to meet Ren Knight specifications."

"Was this yours, mother?" Reina asked.

"No. I have my own set. This one, I made for you."

Reina examined it closely, and noticed the helmet. She saw the design that is fitting for her. She saw most of the face area to be that of a dark glass to see through with a red, medieval rectangular slit down the middle. The rest of battle dress is form fitting, made appropriate for battle.

"Looks very Mandalorian, Mother," Reina said.

"It is. It's been said amongst the Knights of Mandalore that many of the armor for the Crimson Knights and the Stormtroopers came from the Mandalorians. The Old Galactic Empire took these designs to suit their needs since Mandalorian armor is one of the most battle tested in the galaxy," Lady Ren replied. "Try it on, Reina. Let me see how you look."

Lady Ren went back into her room to allow her daughter, Reina to change into her new outfit. After Reina was dressed, she called her mother out to take a look.

"Magnificent. Now, you truly are a Master of the Knights of Ren," Lady Ren said.

Then there was ring at the door. "Who is it?" Lady Ren asked.

"It is I, Captain Phasma. We got the Mandalorian on board," Captain Phasma replied.

"Good, bring him to the interrogation room."

Reina, curious, asked, "What's going on?"

"Don't you remember, Reina? One of the Knights of Mandalore is on board for interrogation. We're going to gather intel on their whereabouts."

At the interrogation room…

"You will never get anything from me. I will never tell you the location of our bases," said the captured Knight Mandalore, with his arms and legs bounded to his chair. He still has helmet on even though it's badly beaten with pot marks, scratches, and holes of laser fire.

"Oh really, that's what you think! Your men killed many of my troops and I am going to avenge their deaths by torturing the more of you, so I can get what I want!" yelled an angry Captain Phasma.

"You don't scare me, Captain. My order has killed many officers like you. You're no different from the Galactic Empire."

"Fine, we'll see about that," Captain Phasma turned her attention to the door and said, "You can come in now."

Lady Ren and Reina Ren entered as Captain Phasma exited the door.

"The room is yours Lady Ren, give this man some hell," Captain Phasma said.

"It'll be my pleasure," Lady Ren said.

Lady Ren walked inside with her daughter behind her. Captain Phasma went into another room where she sat down and watched through a big square window that the Knight of Mandalore cannot see through.

Lady Ren walked inside and was greeted by the Knight's of Mandalore bark, "And who are you two? My torturers? You never get anything from me for the light is my ally and I will hunt the darkness."

Lady Ren pulled her hood behind her, revealing a Mandalorian helmet. This shocked the Knight of Mandalore to the core.

"Where did you get that helmet? That helmet belongs to one of my people," said the Mandalorian Knight.

"I recognized that voice from somewhere, old friend. Remember me now?" Lady Ren took off her helmet revealing her face to the mighty Mandalorian.

"Ianna 1515, it's you? What are you doing here?" asked the Mandalorian Knight.

Ianna 1515, Reina thought. Is that a code name?

"I'm about to ask the same thing. Who gives you the right idea to go after the First Order let alone the Knights of Ren? Let me guess to collect intelligence on how to defeat us the same way the Knights of Mandalore did to the Empire."

Habaiel, shocked by her words, said, "I don't believe this, you're one of them! You're with the First Order! How dare you! How dare you shame your father's and your husband's…"

"Enough," Lady Ren, force choking the Knights Mandalore. Her right hand rose up, levitating the Mandalorian Knight in front of her.

"Reina, take off his helmet," Lady Ren ordered.

"Certainly, mother," Reina said as she used the force to unmask Knights Mandalore's helmet, revealing a familiar face to Lady Ren.

"Well, isn't it Habaiel 2506? Or, should I say Habaiel Tayo?"

Lady Ren dropped him on the ground. Habaiel landed on his right side, hitting his head on the floor like a thud. The pain made him dizzy for a moment before returning his gaze to his former friend, Ianna.

"What's the meaning of this? And this…this is your daughter? I can't believe this. The descendants of Kenobi and Kryze are serving the Dark side."

"Those names have no relevance to us. Reina put him back up."

"Yes, mother."

Reina took Habaiel's chair up and placed him a few feet away from the table in front of him.

"Why Ianna? Why are you doing this? How can the great carer like you do this to your own people?" asked Habaiel before feeling his mouth sealed shut.

"No more talking, Habaiel. Time to show us the location of any bases nearby. Or, otherwise, you will face tumultuous torture."

Lady Ren, let go of her force grip, allowing Habaiel to talk.

"I would rather die than share our secrets to traitors like you."

"We'll see."

Lady Ren turned her attention to her daughter and ordered, "Reina prepared the glove."

"Yes, Mother."

Reina, placed out from another box on the table, a black glove. It was not just any ordinary glove, it's a glove designed for Dark Force users to drain the life force from their victims.

Reina put on the glove and walked close to Habaiel.

"Do it," Lady Ren ordered.

"What are you going to do? What is this? Ah ah ah ahhhhhhhh…" Habaiel screamed as he felt his mind being pulled together in knots and feel his force energy wasting away from his body.

Reina, using the dark side of the force, focused her anger, rage, and raw emotion and passion to suck the living life force of Habaiel. Reina in her mind, saw the images of memories through her mind. As the memories continued to flow into Reina's mind, Reina felt a sudden rush of various emotions into her. She tried to maintain her composure, but the internal conflict between the light and dark in her, triggered. There was instability in her mind as images of Habaiel's family was being shown: Habaiel with his wife and son by the bond fire in a beautiful forest; Habaiel teaching his son the ways of the Force; Habaiel showing his son how to use the Mandalorian jetpack to fly and using the force to give himself some lift first before igniting the jet pack. The positive emotions of love, care, compassion, and family flooded her mind as her prior memories of her love with Ben converged with the memories of Habaiel.

Lady Ren took note of this and by using the force, reminded her to focus on her anger against this enemy of the dark side. Lady Ren, using Force Transfer, transferred her anger and her hate to manipulate Reina's mind to destroy Habaiel. Then, Lady Ren, through Force Telepathy, told Rey that Habaiel was once a bully who taunted how weak Lady Ren was in her use of the force. This made Reina more enraged. How could anyone do this to my mother? Reina thought as she increased the intensity of the Force Drain. Habaiel continued to scream and then finally groans of lifelessness came out. Habaiel's flesh withered away where there's hardly any flesh left beneath his skin. Habaiel became emaciated and the only thing left on him was skin on bare bones.

Habaiel's head tipped over to the side, dead. Reina was finished. Lady Ren was pleased.

"What did you gather, my daughter?" Lady Ren asked.

"There's a nearby base here at the Heinlein System. We must inform the others and be prepared for battle," Reina replied.

"Good, inform them we must. I'll inform the others. Dispose of this wretched body. We don't need the likes of him here."

"Yes, mother."

Reina went over to force levitate Habaiel's corpse. Reina hesitated and even shed a tear of the conflicting emotions she felt from seeing his memories. How can a man like him with a family and child do such a thing to my mother? The Knights of Mandalore are the enemy and so is Luke's Jedi.

At the Holo-Extractor room…

"Okay, what's going on? What's the big commotion?" Leia asked as she walked into room side-by-side with her brother, Luke Skywalker.

"Sorry, to interrupt you both. But, I think it's about time we need to discloses some things," Kal said as he looked to Caterous, giving him the cue to speak.

Ben Solo was right by, just sitting down by himself, sighing away his displeasure of hearing what Caterous is going to say next. Finn and Poe were at the other side just waiting for Caterous to speak.

"Luke, Leia. There have been a lot of things I have been hiding from you. Some things that were lies and some that were half-truths," Caterous said, looking a bit sad himself.

"What do you mean, Caterous?" Luke asked, curious.

"Well…the trust is…when you asked me about Obi-Wan Kenobi, I lied that we never knew much about him. But, in fact, we do."

Caterous turned around and pointed to the holographic projection of two individuals: Ben's memory of Rey's mother and a current image of Rey's mother as a member of Caterous' order. Then, Caterous revealed the family tree starting from top, an image and name of the following: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Sabe, and then Duchess Satine. Then, down to two individuals, Rey's mother and Rey's Father. Below that was Rey's picture and name at the bottom.

"This is Rey's mother. Her name is Inanna Sabe Ishtari Satine Kenobi Kryze. This is Rey's father, Jacob Kryze, my good friend. And this is Sabe, Rey's grandmother along with Obi-Wan Kenobi, which you all know."

"Sabe…I remembered her, she's a member of my mother's handmaidens," Leia gasped at the sight of this revelation.

"That indeed."

"Then, these…this is Duchess Satine, the leader of your people," Luke observed.

"Yes, that's Duchess Satine. She never had any descendants except for few nephews and nieces here and there. When Satine died, many of the Mandalorians serving the dark side hunted them down for years. We managed to find one and trained him into our fold."

Caterous continued, "It's such a shame really that members of the Kenobi clan have now fallen to the dark side. I wonder what Obi-Wan's thinking now."

Ben looked away from what he heard and placed his face into his palms, sighing into his misery. Leia noticed this and came over to comfort Ben.

"It's okay, son. It's okay," Leia said, hugging her son.

"That makes sense then, Caterous. I've been trying to contact Obi-Wan for a long time and never heard a word in regards to his granddaughter, Rey Kenobi."

"Probably, so. With this revelation, I believe that the reason Obi-Wan never contacted you is because of his shame that his forgotten daughter that he never knew is gone."

"The same way…I'm feeling right now since Rey is gone too," Ben said, with tears, starting to rain down his eyes.

"How did you lose her, Caterous?" Luke asked.

"That's where it ties into everything," Caterous answered.

"In case you have not realized, the Knights of Mandalore were also at the Battle of Jakku. We were on a secret mission to find a secret mobile weapons platform at the other side of planet. The platform was capable of launching interplanetary ballistic missiles aimed capital ships. Had we not take that platform out, the outcome of that battle would've been different. In case you have not realized, several of our people infiltrated the Empire in hopes to find whereabouts of many secret research facilities throughout the galaxy. Inanna, code name, Ianna 1515, infiltrated the empire and took on the became an imperial officer. She excelled through the ranks at one of their academies and became close friend of one the Star Destroyers coming to Jakku, Ciena Ree. Before the arrival of Ciena's Star Destroyer, Inanna, working closely with Ciena, received permission to head over to the weapons platform on Jakku. Ianna arrived the night before and reached the facility. She gave us the location of the weapons platform, signaling us to attack that night. My troops arrived a week before, preparing for this moment even with the help of a few locals who we recruited.

When the signal came, we finally found the weapons platform and launched a surprise attack, attacking it from all sides. We throw everything got at them, rockets, lasers, grenades, and even our very own Mandalorian Para-gliders descended upon enemy positions that were protecting the weapons platform. I tell you though it was a tough fight. In addition to regular stormtroopers, there were Sith Inquisitors and Dark Troopers who confronted us. We thought much of the Inquisitors and Dark troopers were gone by this time, but knowing how secretive the Empire was, there were always more left. We then fought them in close quarter combat, pitting lightsaber against lightsaber, blade against blade, and hidden weapon against hidden weapon.

Fortunately, we had sniper from afar taking out as many enemy combatants as possible as we battle columns and columns of enemy forces. My men and I were able to infiltrate inside the weapons platform and disabled it. But, it was at a heavy cost. You see we did not disable it in time when the first Mon Calamari capital ships came in. The platform fired a missile where…my son took his own life by ramming his ship with it. Thus, saving everyone's lives that day. If it wasn't for my son, your Battle on Jakku would've been lost.

After we destroyed the controls, disabling the weapons platform, my men were struck down by a Grand Inquisitor. With my long-saber in one hand and a light shield on my wrist, the inquisitor and I dueled. I immediately took the fight outside. The sun was rising. I used my para-glider to fly up in the air to get away from the inquisitors sight. Risking getting shot at, I immediately spotted in my sights and flew down like a killing angel descending from heaven. With the Inquisitor in my sights and I let out a Force Flash, blinding him. I flew down using my body weight to do a drop-dead kick at the inquisitor. The inquisitor was pushed back, but maintained his position. I knew that Grand Inquisitors don't play nice, so I have to play dirty.

I allowed the Grand Inquisitor attack first by having him lunge at me. I dodged his attack and threw flash and electric grenades. Of course, the Inquisitor force parry of them to do side, but I designed these grenades to explode on my command. Using the force, I ordered the grenades to explode at once, blinding and stunning the Grand Inquisitor. He recovered eventually as I lunge at him with my long saber. He prepared to block with his rotating lightsaber, but I stopped midway and with great precision I thrust my long-saber in between the handles of his rotating lightsaber. I threw another force Blindness at him causing to go back a little allowing me I sliced his handle apart. Then, I ran forward to the side of the Grand Inquisitor and sliced his arms off. I, then, spun around his back and stabbed him.

He fell to his knees, accusing me, "You Cheat!"

Then, I said, "In war, no rules" as I made one cut across his neck, severing his head from his body. I walked over to pick up his head and went on top of the tallest piece of the platform and yelled, "Jettii Mandoa." Jedi Mandalorian, repetitively, announcing our victory of over the Dark side that day.

We took no prisoners that day since they were willing to die anyways. Right after the battle, I searched for Ianna and the only thing left of her was her a red, black scarf. She was captured I presume and for the next few months Ianna's husband, Jacob Kryze, and I went out to search for her. Jacob was able to find a lead and rescued Ianna at an imperial compound. They were supposed to come back, but I received no word from them. Later, I was able to locate the facility myself and only found Jacob's deceased body. It was then I presume for the worse: Ianna, daughter of Obi Wan Kenobi was dead. My Mandalorian Knights and I grieved for our loss and we the Empire fallen, many us split ways and take their life elsewhere. But, I remained within the Order and continued to monitor any activities of the dark side and hope that maybe, just maybe, Ianna was still out there.

And now, we're here…Ianna, the great carer of the Knights of Mandalore and her daughter, Rey, are now serving the enemy…our enemy…The First Order and their Knights of Ren."

"I'm so sorry to hear that, Caterous. For everything I mean. Losing a son and now your friend must have been hard on you and everyone," Luke said.

"It is and it's a painful reminder for those who fight for the cause. There have been many martyrs and many deaths within our ranks. We all did it to ensure the light's victory over the darkness. And that is why I think it's time we no longer fight in the shadows of secrecy against the dark. We now fight amongst those of the Light, so we can end this darkness forever and finally bring balance and peace to the galaxy," Caterous said, looking down at himself a bit before giving out a big sigh.

Ben Solo, empathetic and emotional stood up and walked over to Caterous to say, "And now, as allies, let's fight together to end this war and bring back those we love. Your friend Ianna and mine, Rey…Kenobi."

Leia, stood next to him and placed her hand on his shoulder expressing that she's proud of her son who is now returned as a man of responsibility to finish this fight and watch over those who are family to him.

Then, communications came in.

"Command center to General Organa."

"What is it?"

"Something is going on, the tracking device on Rey has suddenly switched course. They're going to different star system."

"Where?"

"Heinlein system."

"Oh no," Kal Dronus aid.

"What's going on?" Poe asked.

Caterous answered, "They must've known one of our secret bases. We must go now! Kal ordered our forces to head over here, now!"

Leia interjected, "Caterous, we're going with you too. Poe, get one of our best pilots on the double. Finn, take two squads on board our latest transport-gunships and head over there. Luke, you're coming with me. Ben, you stick with Caterous Endo."

"Yes, ma'am," complied Ben Solo.

Over the skies of Heinlein Prime, a rain of hell has brought death to many on the planet as scores of Knights Mandalore take on the combined forces of the Knights of Ren and Captain Phasma's contingent of stormtroopers.


Author's Note: A mother does what she thinks is best for her daughter even if it includes lying. Twisted Lady Ren has become esp. when she used lies to convince her daughter to kill a soldier who has family back at home. Now, you know the beginnings of Rey's mother's fall to the dark side and there's much more to be revealed later. The next chapter will be a long battle at one of the Mandalorian Knights' secret bases. So, stick around.
