Through the Force

By: Sailormoon7771

Rey fell to her knees sobbing. Luke turned away as he felt tears forming in his eyes. Leia kneeled by Rey as she gently rubbed her back, "Rey." She said in a motherly tone. Finn ran over, "What happened" Finn shouted. Luke put his hand in front of Finn, "Finn wait."

He turned around "Luke Skywalker?" he looked as if he had seen a ghost "listen, son, we're going to need some backup." Finn shrugged, "For what?"

"They took Ben," Luke replied

Finn smiled, I know who will help if we're going to the first order base we need a smaller number no greater than four." Luke nodded in agreement, "Who's the fourth?"

"Poe Dameron" Finn replied Poe walked up to Luke, "reporting for duty" he kneeled down "BB8, sorry I can't take you with me this time."

BB8 did a series of beeps that almost sounded like a sigh.

Rey used her arm to wipe her tears away, "Rey, do you care for my son?" Leia asked Rey sat up, "How'd you know?" Leia smiled, "I just do, listen if you want to save him you need to pull yourself together Rey, you are stronger than you know." Rey smiled, as Leia handed her a handkerchief "Thank You."

Rey stood to her feet and turned to Luke, "When do we leave?" Poe and Finn turned around, Rey walked closer, "We leave now." they loaded onto the falcon. "Finn, where's the base?" Poe asked as he sat at the controls Luke sat on the other side in the co-pilot's chair.

Rey stood behind the chair listening to the conversation. Finn shrugged, "I'm not sure." Luke slammed his hands on his lap. "I thought you were a trooper before."

Finn, sighed. "Starkiller Base was destroyed, "I'm sure they moved bases by now." Rey closed her eyes, "Ben?" she called out. "Rey?" he asked curiously, "Where are you?" he asked.

"We're coming for you, we don't know where you are." Ben sighed, "We are headed to Hoth" Rey opened her eyes. Luke, Poe, and Finn were still debating where the base is now.

"They're taking him to Hoth" Rey interrupted they turned and looked at her "how do you know," Poe asked, Rey walked over to the controls and entered the coordinates for the planet. "Ben told me." She paused "through the force."

Luke, sighed "ok, you're right." Rey nodded, "I'll be back."

Finn turned around "Where are you going." Rey smiled, "I can't very well go to Hoth in this dress can I?" she questioned. She walked down the corridor and into the bathroom.

She closed her eyes again, "Rey." An unfamiliar voice called to her. "Who are you?" she questioned as the force ghost of Obi-Wan, appeared before her in the bathroom.

She gasped as the started to turn around, "Rey don't leave." He said softly Rey took her hand off the doorknob, "Who are you?" she questioned.

"Obi-Wan." She paused, "You mean you're?" she paused as her mouth dropped, "You're supposed to be dead."

He smiled, "Supposed to be, and yet here I am. Listen Rey, I don't have much time."

She reached out to try and grab his hand, "Rey these are your first steps." She quoted "It was you, why are you appearing to me."

He stepped closer she leaned against the door, "You'll find out soon, for now, I need you to listen to me." She nodded reluctantly, "You and Ben's love for each other is about to be tested, you need to put your fillings aside for this mission if you want to bring him home safely." She nodded, "What should I expect?" she questioned.

"Expect a coldness like you've never felt before." Obi-Wan faded out, Rey shouted, "Wait!"

"Don't be afraid." Kenobi's voice called out.

Rey looked around in shock, she put her Ahch-To clothes back on, and put her hair up in its normal fashion, and walked out of the bathroom.

Finn turned around, "You're wearing that?" he questioned, Rey shrugged "What's wrong with it?" Luke turned around, "Rey follow me."

Poe looked in a mirror, "You're going to freeze to death in that."

Rey shrugged as she followed Luke into one of the back rooms. "What are we doing?" she questioned Luke didn't answer as he pulled out a white coat lined with fur and white pants and boots from a closet. "Why would I wear this?" Rey asked, "It's an ice planet." Rey nodded as she unclipped the lightsaber from her bed and placed it on the chair beside them. Luke handed her a pair of gloves.

"It's that cold?"

Luke "you have no idea", and left the room. Rey quickly changed into the warmer clothes and walked back to where the others waited.

Finn looked up, Rey raised her arms to the side and turned around, "Is this better?" a popping sound filled the air, Rey jumped as alarms went off.

She ran and stood behind Poe and Luke who were frantically pushing buttons and flipping switches on the control panel. "What's happening?" she asked.

"We're losing altitude," Poe responded in a panic. "It's too cold, prepare for a hard landing." Rey and Finn sat down and put restraints on and braced themselves for the landing ahead of them.

Poe, steered the ship so it would land in a snow bank when the ship landed hard the snow proofed up into a cloud.

Luke and Poe turned around "Is everyone alright?" Luke called out. Finn looked at Rey who smiled, "We're fine." He replied.

They got off the ship Rey coughed as the cold dry air filled her lungs, she shivered, "Are you glad you changed?" Finn asked, "I'm still cold." She replied as she pulled her hood over her head.

Luke raised his eyebrows, "Listen, this is a big planet. If we want to find Ben we have to split up. Finn and Rey, you can go east, Poe and I will go west." Rey and Finn nodded, Poe grabbed a blaster, and the groups went their separate ways.

"How long have you been a Resistance fighter?" Luke asked as snow crunched beneath their feet, "I guess you can say I was born into it." Poe looked up at the sky, "My parents died fighting against the first order. I was left to care for myself and my sister. I sent her to you and then joined the resistance" Luke turned around, "You need to tell Rey."

Poe sighed, "didn't the mind wipe work." Luke nodded, "It did, but don't you want her to know?" Poe shrugged, "Can we quit talking about this?" He stomped forward his boots leaving footprints in the snow.

Ben was dragged before Snoke by two storm troopers and thrown to the ground. Ben grunted when his side hit the ground "We found him." Snoke took a rumbling breath, "You." He spoke, "Your weakness has finally failed you." Benn stood up and patted his side where his lightsaber was absent. "Damn." He said under his breath "You won't need a saber where you're going."

Rey and Finn walked through a forest with trees that were so frozen they didn't even look like trees, they looked more like geysers that froze solid in midair. Rey's nose and cheeks were red as the cold hit her face. "Finn, you're so quiet is anything wrong?"

He sighed as they walked across a field covered in snow, "I never thought you'd be with that man." He said in an angry tone. Rey who followed behind him ran to get closer to him.

"Finn, that's none of your business. I love him." Finn turned around sharply he and Rey almost collide. He wrapped his arms around Rey and kissed her lips, Rey slapped him. Finn put his hand on his cheek.

"I love you, Rey." Rey exhaled, as fog from the cold escaped her mouth. "Finn, I love you also, but not in the way that you want me—Rey paused as the ground under her started to crack. "Run!" she screamed Finn and Rey began to run desperately to escape the ground giving in before them. Finn climbed up a bank and held his hand out to Rey. She reached for it as she felt herself going lower into the cold water.

She screamed as she submerged into the water. She tried to paddle herself up but the current underneath was too strong. "Rey!" Finn shouted as he jumped off the bank and kneeled down by the hole where she went through. He failed to spot her through the dark murky water.

"Rey, use the force!" he shouted. As if it were an instinct Finn held his hand out. Rey felt her eyes trying to close as she fought tooth and nail to get out of the water she felt warmth surround her as she felt herself being pulled towards the point of entry, "The force." she thought. She felt herself being pulled from the water, and into Finn's arms.

Water droplets fell off her cheeks. Finn pulled Rey to the bank, "Rey," he shook her. "I'm fine." She stood up. "Did you just use the force?" He nodded.

"Thank you." She said with a shiver. "Let's go." He looked confused, "to find Ben." She began walking. The cold air blew up her spine. "Don't you think we should go back to the ship?" Finn asked. She turned around and shook her head, "There's no time. Every second he's on the first order he's closer to death."Luke and Poe ended up going down the Path that Finn and Rey were going up. They reunited at a cross path.

"Master Luke." She shivered as water dripped from her hair Luke shook his head, and looked at Finn, "What happened?" Poe pulled his jacket off and put it on Rey's shoulders.

Finn bit his lip and began to answer, but Rey beat him to it. "Ice broke beneath us and I fell in the water." Finn looked down, "I used the force to get her out."

Poe put his arm around Rey trying to transfer some of his body heat to her. "We need to get to Ben." Luke nodded, "I know where he is, but we need to start a fire and get you warm first." Rey looked confused. "But." Luke shook his head "No buts, you can't help Ben until you help yourself." Luke stacked some wood with the force and started a fire "That's the only way we're going."

Rey reluctantly sat down on a log and wrapped Poe's jacket tightly around herself. The smell of the jacket seemed familiar. "what?" she said under her breath.

"You left the first order and for what Love?" Snoke asked, "yeah that's exactly why I left. You shriveled up snake." Snoke growled under his breath, "I hope love is worth it take him away while I decide what to do with this traitor." The troopers grabbed Ben from each side and led him to a cell and threw him in. "See you soon, Master of the Knights of Ren." One of them said in a mocking voice. "Go to hell," Ben said through clinched teeth.

Rey stood up, "I'm warm enough now let's go."

"Hands up." Voices shouted from the trees.

Poe, Luke Finn, and Rey looked down the barrel of the Stormtrooper's blasters. Luke and Rey started to power up her lightsaber, Luke's green blade rose from the base, Rey pushed the button again, but the blue blade, wouldn't come up. "Damn it."

Poe and Finn held up blasters as shots began to fire from all sides Rey started swinging her staff around hitting the troopers.

Luke kept taking out whatever came at him.

Finn's blaster jammed, he looked down at it with a worried look.

"I'm out of ammo" Poe said as storm troopers grabbed them with their hands behind their backs.

One of them punched Rey in the face and she fell to the ground.

Luke disengaged, and held his hands up. "We surrender."

"We thought you'd see it our way." The storm troopers tied the four with a rope leaving them to walk one in front of the other.

Finn walked in front of the line followed by Poe, Rey, and Luke at the back. Rey turned slightly to Luke, "Maybe they spotted the fire."

Luke nodded, "I know they did."

Rey gasped, "Did you plan this?" He nodded, "It was a long shot but it worked." Poe turned to Rey, "What worked?"

"He planned this." Poe smiled, "What a clever plan." Luke laughed

"Isn't it, though." Finn listened to the conversation taking place behind, him and started laughing.

"I'm surrounded!" he shouted.

Rey coughed, "Finn."

A trooper turned, "Would you all shut up before I weld your mouths."

Rey gave the trooper a dirty look.

The group entered an abandoned Castle that was reclaimed in snow and Ice.

"Master Snoke, we found trespassers."

Snoke's form appeared on the throne before them. He looked down at them. "Put the girl in the cell with Ren." Rey looked at him in fear, "Why would he put me there?" she thought. Luke leaned in a whisper, "It's a trap Rey, don't show him any affection." Rey nodded as two Stormtroopers yanked her away. Her eye swelled from being punched. They opened the door, Ben sat on the floor with his back against the wall and his arms folded on the top of his legs his head laid effortlessly on them, When Rey was flung to the floor, she gasped when she hit the cold stone floor.

Snoke, towered over the guys, "Take them to the other cell while I decide what to do with them." Four more troopers took them into the cell throwing them in. "So how do we get out of this one?" Finn asked Luke, "We will, you have to have faith." Poe bit his lip, "If we get out alive I need to tell Rey the truth." Finn grunted and shook his head. "Tell her what?"

"Should I tell him Luke?" he nodded, "You brought it up you finish it." Poe stood up, "Rey's my younger sister." Finn's mouth dropped, "I'm so sorry!" he shouted, "I kissed your sister." Luke put his fake hand on his forehead, "I'm too old for this."

Poe's face dropped, "you what?" Finn stammered "So did Ben."

"Rey." Ben whispered and crawled over to Rey and held her in his arms "My god, you're like ice." "Ben, we can't do this now," she whispered. His eyes looked as if she ripped his heart out. "Why not?" "It's a trap." He sat down beside her, "I love you." He mouthed. "Finn and I kissed." She stood up and went to the other side of the cell. Ben stood up, "What, why?" his voice cracked

"I don't know." She sat down on the floor, and leaned her back against the wall, she shivered. Ben pulled his cape off and threw it to her. "Here." She picked it up and wrapped it around herself like a blanket. She inhaled as his cologne filled her nose she imagined his warm arms around her "Thank you." He sat back in his original spot and turned to the side to hide the tears that fell down his face. Rey turned around so she wouldn't see, "He's making this so hard." She thought

Poe tackled Finn to the ground "Friends aren't supposed to Kiss their friend's younger sister." Finn's face pressed against the floor. "Well, do you have any older sisters then?"

Luke stood up, and both of them went flying to the opposite sides of the cell "Can you two not do this right now." Finn stood up, "It doesn't matter she doesn't love me, I hope you do this to Ben." Poe crossed his arms, "You had to use the force." Luke rolled his eyes, "I did, now if you want to get out you'll both shut up and listen to me." Luke opened the door, "We need to split up, we don't know where the other cell is."

Rey sat as the cape lost its warmth she felt herself wanting to go to sleep her eyes grew heavier as she shivered uncontrollably, Ben looked over, "Come here." Rey opened her eyes, and shook her head, "I c…can't?" Ben held his hand out, and pulled her over to him, and wrapped his arms around her. "Don't go to sleep you hear me?" Her body shook uncontrollably "We got to get you out of here." He said softly "I forgive you, Rey." Her eyes closed, "no wake-up." She opened her eyes, "I stopped him, Ben. I wouldn't do anything like that to you." Her breaths were shallow, he picked her up.

"What are we doing?" The door flew open, and Luke stood at the other side. "Ben, Rey." Intruder alarms rang through the structure, "Put me down." Rey ordered Ben put her down, "You sure?" she nodded.

"We won't make it if you carry me."

Rey powered up the blue lightsaber shards of ice fell to the floor as the saber hummed. "Where's yours?" she turned to Ben.

Luke threw him another light saber, "Here."

Ben looked at the saber and noticed it had two places for blades, "Double blades?"

Poe and Finn ran in with new blasters, "Where'd you get those?" Rey smiled. Finn laughed "We stole them." They ran down the twists and turns of the corridor, and into what looked like a foyer of the castle.

Stormtroopers and Knights of Ren stood between them and the exit Rey lunged "Ahhhh!" she screamed putting more force into her Jabbing blow to the storm trooper Ben's cape on her back flew in the wind, Luke Poe, and Finn, followed her, Ben hesitated as he looked at the light saber in his hand.

He pushed the button and one end of the saber shone purple and the other red, Ben held the light saber behind him and began fighting, one of the knights began to go behind Rey with his saber, "I have ordered from Snoke to take care of you." Rey turned around, and blocked his blow, she grunted while she tried to fend off both him and another Stormtrooper

Ben jumped between Rey and the trooper, "Back off." He said as he gave him a fatal blow, He turned to Rey, "You ok?"

"I'm fine." She struggled while she kicked the Knight down, Luke seemed to not even be breaking a sweat as he chopped down his opponents like trees they fell to the ground.

The remainder of the enemy were pretty much non-existent aside from a few who were barely hanging in there.

A blast flew by Ben's face, he turned around facing General Hux who held the blaster aimed at Ben "We kill traitors around here, but death is too good for you. We should try someone else." He turned slowly and aimed the blaster at Rey, who was busy fighting a trooper The General, pulled the trigger Ben panicked and ran pushing Rey out of the way and stabbing the trooper with his light saber, he felt the stinging in his side as he fell to the floor. Rey turned around, "Ben!"

Luke flipped over the line of enemies and stood in front of Ben and Rey, "Come on Hux you want to kill the last Jedi? Let's see!" Poe and Finn ran over and pointed the blasters at Hux, "You're out numbered." Poe said with a cocky tone.

Ben stood up holding his side, "Very outnumbered." Rey stood on Ben's injured side and activated her lightsaber.

Rey clinched her teeth, "You."

She started to run towards him Ben pulled her back, "You don't want to kill him." Luke leaned in "You're not ready." Rey sighed, "He hurt Ben." She turned to Hux and ran towards him as she pierced his chest with the lightsaber. He fell to the ground as she pulled the lightsaber back and deactivated it.

Her hands trembled, and her mouth dropped.

"I killed someone."

Ben pulled her back, "Rey." Tears rolled down her face. "I killed him. He was looking right at me and I took his life!" Ben put his arm around her.

Poe walked to them. "Paws off my sister pal." Rey turned to him, "Your what?"

Luke sighed, "Come on, everyone."

They walked back to the ship and set a course for the resistance base.

Rey sat on the floor rocking back and forth not saying anything. Ben kneeled beside her, "Rey are you hungry?"

She pulled the lightsaber from her belt and put it in Ben's hand, "I don't want it."
