Several hundred stormtroopers crowded round the deep hole in the ground, they were shocked by what they found inside.
"MASTER REN!" a stormtrooper squealed. Kylo came running and pushed his way through the crowd to see what half of his warriors had retreated for. Amongst them were quite a few members of the resistance - including Han Solo, and his wife...
Kylo stepped into the muddy hole and walked towards the lifeless body at the bottom. It was none other than Lau Kico. He heard whispers from the crowd as he waddled through the thick, sticky puddles.
"I saw him crash, electrical volts spurted out of him as he landed. He must have already been dead! Nobody and No living thing could survive a fall like that. Not in a million years."
"I don't get it, who is he?"
"Do you think it's Kico? After everything he's been through, it's quite typical that he'd commit suicide.
"Does it look like a sensible version of suicide dumbass?"
"Fuck off."
"What's Kylo doing? It's a blood ditch down there, he'll be sucked in like it's a black hole or something!"
"Well, look at the way he's clutching his lightsaber, perhaps he's going to double-kill him!"
Kylo heard all of the whispering, but didn't care, he grinned beneath his mask and laughed viciously.
"Oh my word!" Princess Leia exclaimed, "That's the rogue trooper I told you about! He saved my life!"
Han Solo looked at her with a disappointed look in his eyes. He put his arms round her and gave her a comforting hug. She returned it and allowed a single tear to trickle down her cheek.
As expected, Kylo did wanted to re-kill Lau, just to be sure. A lot of people thought he was mad.
"See you in hell you treacherous son of a bitch," he growled.
Just then, by some sort of miraculous miracle, Lau opened his eyes, rolled out of the way and dodged Kylo's attack. Kylo dug his lightsaber deeply into the puddle beneath him and yelled in anger as he flipped over it, getting soaked in blood, dirt and mud.
Lau screamed in pain as he attempted to get up, rip off his helmet and escape danger.
Unfortunately, he only succeeded at the first two. His somewhat delayed-yet-fatal injuries caused him to collapse just as he pulled off his heavy helmet, he had originally hoped it would make him both lighter and faster. All of a sudden, everyone truly saw him literally 'behind the mask'. He was pale white with streams of blonde hair, his face looked even more battered up than the rest of him, but unfortunately he had decided when he first joined the First Order that clothes beneath his uniform would make him sweat until he evaporates, so he couldn't strip off the rest of his uniform as he was naked otherwise.
Lau cried out as the left-over voltage kicked in, rendering him unable to move. By now Kylo had got up from the mud and was standing there, glaring at the hopeless man who was as good as dead. Lau stared back with a glimpse of fear in his one open eye.
"I have no mercy, but I've had enough of you Kico. You have thirty seconds to say goodbye to your precious life," Kylo said, teleporting out of the ditch.
He whispered then to one of the generals/commanders of his ground fleet quietly, "Kill him."
Lau looked up at the world panting. He already considered himself incredibly lucky for being given that long to live. Still, he believed he had lived a full life.
But he was still ashamed.
Nevertheless if past-Lau was about to save the world or not, it didn't matter. He was still a villain, or at least an anti-villain.

Suddenly, an incredibly powerful wave of energy rushed through his veins.
29...
He jumped up enthusiastically and looked around him smiling.
28...
"People of this world listen to me now!"
27...
"What you're about to see will shock, scare and amaze you all at once!"
26...
"But I ask of you, please!"
25...
"Make the most of it!"
24...
"This world-saving miracle will give you a permanent advantage in the everlasting war of the future!"
23...
"Take it and run!"
22...
"I beg of you!"
21...
"Kill every last one of those monsters!"
20...
"Burn them alive and torture the rest of them!"
19...
"When they're gone, the galaxy will finally be at peace!"
18...
"Save everyone from disaster!"
17...
"And for those of you who won't fight, watch and learn!"
16...
"What's happening today was forsaken by the laws of the force, but this defies everything we believe in."
15...
"It's going to be a true miracle!"
14...
"And you're going to love it!"
13...
"However..."
12...
"By the orders of Kylo Ren, the devil himself,"
11...
"I won't last until then..."
10...
"So..."
9...
"I'd just like to say..."
8...
"Thank you all..."
7...
"So much,"
6...
"For everything you've ever done..."
5...
The stormtroopers at the front began to reluctantly charge up their toxic guns.
"You people are amazing,"
4... (25%)
"And when you guys work together..."
3... (50%)
"You can accomplish anything!"
2... (75%)
"GOODBYE!"
1... (100%)
The commander lifted his finger, and as it was lowered, he roared, "FIRE!"
The stormtroopers fired their lazars, and as they all were targeted at one specific thing, the effect was 50% stronger. As they all closed in on Lau. In his last two seconds, he shut his eyes, smiled, held his hands out and waited for death.
As the earth shook beneath him, everything stopped. He was flying through the air, half-dead. His entire life flashed before his eyes, including one specific scene that he favoured over the rest of his entire life.
"Like I said, I don't care if I die,"
"All I care about, is that this ends...
"Right here, right now!"
That was obviously the end for poor Lau, as he fell to the ground one last time, his eyes lightened and rolled to the back of his head behind his shut eyelids. His dirty mouth shut and his heart stopped beating.
In fact, at that moment, everyone and everything stopped. Although some people started to cry or hug their partners. Kylo burst out laughing and teleported away. One by one the stormtroopers followed him. Han Solo looked up into the sky and frowned angrily.
"This isn't over," he murmured. Suddenly, when everyone least expected it, the entire world began to quiver, and then...
[Queue PM's Love Theme - Love Actually]
The Supernova XIV flew towards the golden energy in the sky.
"Look!" someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone looked up. The golden energy emitting from the Earth's core had disappeared, and the First Order's ship was flying straight into the golden energy that was left-over from the dead Fire Cloud! As it erupted once more, the entire cloud burst and scattered all over the galaxy, every last atom of golden energy entering another galaxy through portals, just as Lau had foretold before he died! The glowing energy underground also burnt out!
Everyone who saw this started to cheer and scream and whistle and clap joyfully, it truly was a miracle!
"HE DID IT!" Leia squealed, jumping up and down quickly, "YES!"
"Look! The sun's back!" a young child shouted. Everyone looked up again and saw that the sun was fully restored now! However, while this was very exciting, they also noticed something else...
It was snowing!
"Hey, I just remembered! It's Christmas!" Han Solo yelled as everyone quieted down, "That trooper saved us all, on Christmas Day! That makes this... a Christmas Miracle!"
A young woman near the front of the crowd also shouted, saying, "Hey! My child wants to say something everyone!"
Everyone went silent and watched the little boy in the front.
"Mummy look at big word in mud!" he shouted, tugging on the woman's sleeve. Everyone took a careful look from a distance at the mud in front of Lau's' corpse. Han Solo spelt it out.
"S-E-Q-U-E-L-?" he spelt, then realised what it meant.
"I wonder... could there be a sequel?" he asked quietly. Then the child that pointed out the word carved out of snow looked up again and shouted one last time.
"MUMMY! LOOK! SANTA!" he exclaimed. Princess Leia looked up and then tried to make out who was in the flying sleigh.
"Is that... Jar Jar?" she muttered. The Reindeers pulling the sleigh gave a cry of joy before allowing the mysterious character in red to interrupt them.
"Ho! Ho! Ho! Mesa wish you Merry Christmas and happy new year! Yay!" Santa squealed, and everyone burst out laughing and cheering.
