STAR WARS episode IX-the balance of the force

by DIPCIFICAISCANONYALL66

For millennia all major events in the galaxy were based on the underlying conflict of the dark side versus the light side of the force. The conflict was prophesied to stop many times; however, it is still going like a raging fire. Will the force ever be able to find balance?

CHAPTER TWO

Kylo Ren looked out at the system he was in from the bridge of the ruiner. He had dispatched 5 resurgent-class star destroyers to find and crush the resistance scum once and for all. However, he thought, we have reduced them from an admirable force against us to a mere pest, a weak one at that. It was true. 2 years ago, a series of events made the resistance nearly collapse. First, the first order marked a decisive blow to the new republic and took control of the galaxy, cutting off all but a few system's funding for the army. Second, in a great battle to destroy the Starkiller Base, they exhausted their resources, and many valuable fighters got destroyed. Third, they exhausted more resources trying to escape from their doomed base. Fourth, thanks to the hyperspace tracking technology, they followed their escape and destroyed all but one of their ships. Finally, they cut down some more of their numbers at yet another battle. They escaped with only 40 people. Kylo Ren acknowledged that they had definitely been rebuilding over the years since, but he reassured himself that no one can come back from that fully, no matter how much time you gave them. Their numbers must have been at least 200, but it was easy for something like the first order to crush a tiny little thing like that. Kylo Ren smiled. This is it, he thought. Time to crush the last remnants of the republic.

Meanwhile, Rey had been starting her 50 hour long journey to recalibrate the jamming signal protecting the base. She had gone with 14 other people. It would be a long and treacherous journey, but she would do anything for the resistance. After 4 hours of walking, she stopped for lunch. She would have 46 more hours of walking to go. Every day, she would walk from 0800-1200, 1300-1700, and 1800-2100. By that schedule, she would be done by the 4th day, at 1000. It was at 1930 that they discovered a problem. "There is a mountain range straight ahead." said Arrow, one of the members of her team. Rey did not hesitate. The force will be with us, she thought. No mountain will stop us from bringing freedom to the galaxy. "We will climb the mountain," she said. "But our resources would be exhausted and rations would be gone in hours, not to mention terrain and temperature and... Basically, nothing could save us," a resistance member named January said. "The force will save us," Rey said. "This is starting to get theological. Let's just climb the mountain." Arrow said, with an unimpressed look on his face. So they did.

As they flew away from Mokun-Fuulji, Finn said, "Are you sure we can just fly up there, knock off a couple ships, and fly off? I mean, it's not like we can just go up there and do all that and expect them to not track us back to the base or something like that," "Finn, that's what the resistance is all about," Poe said. "Besides. What will they have to track us with?" Finn could not argue with that last point. "We're going to take a gravitational assist around the star of the Dhakarian system to screw up their tracking," he said. "Now, when you see them, just start shooting at them and don't stop no matter how much of a bad idea it is!" "You're seriously thinking of taking down several capital ships in a-" "There they are! Now, SHOOT!
