Song for this chapter: Walk on Water by Thirty Seconds to Mars
"Anya you don't have to do this," Ben begged as Poe, Ben, and Anya made their way to the throne room, Anya dragging Ben and Poe behind her.
Anya quickly turned around slamming Ben to the ground. "You don't get to talk to me you piece of shit!" She said the hurt that had been in her eyes earlier was now replaced with pure rage. "I trusted you! I sacrificed everything for you! Snoke told me that you would betray me." She scoffed under her breath.
"What you are listening to Snoke now!" Poe snapped back.
"No, I…" Anya started trying to think of the words to say. In response, she just slammed Poe into the ground as well. "You two no longer get to speak." She screamed causing both Ben's and Poe's mouths to slam shut.
When they had reached the throne room Anya threw Ben and Poe across the room. Ben skidding to a stop right in front of Snoke who looked down at him with a wicked smile.
"You are losing her Benjamin!" Snoke laughed wickedly in Ben's head. "Now she's mine."
Ben stood up reaching for his lightsaber, but he was quickly stopped by Anya dragging him to the throne and making both Poe and him kneel next to the throne as she sat down.
"I'm going to kill Rey, right in front of your eyes, Ben. And then I'm going to track down Luke Skywalker and kill him too. Effectively I will be destroying the Resistance and the Jedi Order." She laughed.
Snoke chuckled slightly causing Anya to turn and look at him glaring.
Quickly she threw out her hand causing Snoke to fly to her hand, her hand wrapping around his neck.
"Then once I am done with the Jedi, I'm going after the Sith Order and destroy that, and first that is going to start with you." She snapped. "And I am going to kill you in a more painful way than what I did to your precious Armitage Hux."
She dropped Snoke and he collapsed gasping for breath.
"What about your precious Benjamin!" Snoke growled. "He is the Sith."
Anya gritted her teeth as she turned to look at Ben.
"You won't be able to kill him, you still have compassion for him. That compassion will be your downfall! You have to kill him. You have to kill your brother!" Snoke screamed.
"Stop it!" Anya screamed as she reached for her lightsaber lighting it.
"Ma'am!" A voice called and everyone turned to see Phasma and Rey standing in the doorway.
A twisted smile spread across Anya's face as she turned off her saber turning towards Rey.
"Thank you General, you are free to go." Anya laughed as she dragged Rey forward. "Well, Rey, I have heard so much about you." She laughed as she tore the lightsaber from Phasma's hands catching it. "Luke's, I should have guessed."
Rey looked shocked as she looked at Snoke and Anya.
"Oh I'm sorry, are you still catching up." Anya sneered. "I'll help you. Snoke is no longer the Supreme Leader, General Hux is dead, and Ben Solo doesn't need saving, so I'm sorry if you thought otherwise but you coming to his rescue was pointless."
"I…" Rey started looking at Ben.
Anya noticed the look and angrily she threw Rey back levitating her in the air.
"Tell me where Skywalker is!" She said causing Rey to scream.
The entire time that Anya was breaking Rey's mind for information, Ben was working on building up his shield strong enough that he could break through her power.
Anya laughed as she dropped Rey to the floor. "He's there! God, he is so annoyingly predictable." She grabbed the lightsaber heading over to the glass revealing the Resistance ships fleeing and the First Order destroying the getaway ships. "Soon there will no longer be a Resistance and then I will go to Ahch-To and I will kill Luke Skywalker with the same lightsaber that I am going to kill you with." Anya was about to the turn on the lightsaber when suddenly it was ripped from her hands.
"Stop!" Ben screamed as he caught the saber.
"How did you…" Anya started.
"You aren't as strong as you think you are Anya. Now listen to me, you cannot keep firing on the Resistance ships."
"Oh you want to talk things out now, you don't just want to try to kill me in my sleep." She screamed.
"General Leia is on that ship!" Poe said as Anya's focus on Ben's had let her hold on Poe slip.
"General Leia is dead."
"No, I thought the same thing, but she isn't. She survived." Ben pleaded as he got up and walked towards Anya.
Anya was visibly shaking she felt like she was unraveling. "Liar!" She screamed as she threw Ben backward.
"Do what needs to be done!" Snoke screamed inside her head.
Anya screamed as she collapsed to her knees Ben and Poe quickly running towards her as Rey looked at her confused.
"Anya." Ben pleaded placing a hand on her shoulder. But the minute he did so, they both saw a vision of Ben killing Anya then leaving with Rey.
Anya stopped screaming and just looked up at Ben glaring.
"Anya." Ben started again but Anya quickly stood up
"Guards," She said and all the guards turned to look at her weapons at the ready. "Kill all three of them." She growled as she slammed Ben, Poe, and Rey into the floor as she walked to the throne the guards charging at them.
"Ben?" Rey asked concerned as Ben threw her the lightsaber as he brought out his own.
They looked at each other for a moment before they turned back to back and began to fight the guards. Poe still had his blaster and was working on trying to take out the guards with that.
Anya just sat gripping the armrests of the throne. She watched as the guards were defeated by the three of them. Anger built up inside of her as she stood up.
"You are members of the Praetorian Guard how are you being beaten by a pilot, a nobody from Jakku and a frightened boy!" She screamed as she grabbed her lightsaber and charged into the action.
"Anya don't!" Ben started as two guards came after him. Anya's focus wasn't on Ben or her brother it was on the girl. The one who had caught Ben's attention.
"You!" She screamed as she lunged at Rey their two sabers clashing. "Why you!"
Rey pushed towards her causing sparks to fly from their sabers.
"There is nothing special about you! You are a nobody and a nothing!" Anya screamed and Rey dropped to the ground kicking Anya's legs out from under her sending her onto her back.
"Fuck!" She screamed out in anger as she sliced her lightsaber across Rey's arm causing Rey to scream.
"Anya" Ben called pulling her back so she was now facing him.
"Are you protecting her! Are you protecting your pretty little scavenger." Anya screamed in Ben's face. "The scavenger and the prince how romantic!" She spat lunging at Ben but he quickly threw his hand out pushing her back but she did the same pushing him back, the two forces causing the two to fly backward.
When Anya got up to her feet she looked around and saw that all of the guards were now dead and that it was just her, her brother, Rey and Ben with Snoke still sitting just watching everything unfold.
"I could easily kill all three of you. All it would take was a wave of my hand and I could crush you all into nothing!" Anya screamed. "But where would the fun in that be." She said lighting her saber once more as she charged at her brother this time.
"Anya stop!" Poe screamed as he fired the blaster slicing Anya across her side just barely but enough that it threw her off guard sending her to her knees.
"Shit!" She cried again placing her hand on her side pulling it back to reveal a slight hint of blood. Her head snapped up to look at her brother again.
"I'm sorry," He pleaded as she charged at him again.
Rey this time got in the way.
"Why are you doing this, what happened." Rey pleaded but Anya just charged at her lightsaber drawn.
"He is going to choose you!" Anya screamed.
She went to stab Rey but she was suddenly frozen in her tracks.
"You are losing your grip Anya please I know your hurt but you have to let me help you. I'm not going to pick Rey over you I promise." Ben pleaded with her.
"I don't need help!" Anya screamed shaking the entire Finalizer. "I am more fine now than I have ever been."
Quickly she charged at Rey again but Rey quickly jumped out of the way sending the beam straight into the stomach of the person behind her.
Anya wasn't even phased as she sliced the saber deeper grabbing onto the person and pulling them into her before she turned off the saber and let the body drop to the floor before she turned around to find a stunned Ben and Rey staring back at her.
It wasn't until she could hear Snoke's laugher that the weight of what she had just done hit her.
"No," She mouthed as she slowly turned around to find her brother lying on the floor.
She let out a loud gut wrenching scream as she fell to her knees, the power of her scream shaking the ship once more.
At the exact same moment that her knees hit the cold floor, Vice Admiral Holdo flew the Resistance ship at lightspeed through the Finalizer splitting it in two.
