"YOU SCUMBAG!" Rey yelled as she saw him.
Kylo Ren whirled around then to see the woman he loved, angry as he's ever seen her. She had her saber staff in her hand and he watched as she ignited it and faced it towards him.
"After everything!" She yelled. "After seven months together, training, growing closer, you want to ruin it now by trying to kill my friend?! I should drive this straight through your chest!"
"You need to calm down," he told her.
He shouldn't of said that.
"I need to calm down? I need to calm down?! What about you?! The second you saw me touching someone other than yourself, you went insane!"
He said nothing, and only looked at her.
"Answer me!" She said as she force pushed him hard against the wall. "Fight back! Fight back you coward! Fight back!"
Ren slowly rose to his feet, and ignited his saber, "Rey, you need to stop," he pleaded.
She lunged towards him then aiming for his face. He quickly struck his saber at hers. She slashed and slashed her saber at him, until he was forced to the ground.
"I see I have taught you well," he told her.
He rose to his feet then, and she growled with frustration. She started thrusting her saber against his once more. He fought back, rather well, and finally slashed his blade at her shoulder, burning it rather badly.
"AHH!" She screamed as she sank down to the ground in pain.
He then placed his saber inches from her face, "Your emotions have unfortunately been your downfall," he told her. "I win this round." She then rose to her feet, and stared deeply into his eyes with anger. "I'm going to my room now," she spat. "Do NOT even think of following me."
He scoffed at her, "Trust me my dear, you will not have to worry about that."
He watched her stride off, and he turned off his saber. He looked around then and noticed a crowd had formed about the room. "What are you all looking at?!" he exclaimed. "The shows over!" He then walked back to his own room.
General Hux had been in cell number 041 for little over a week now. His restraints had finally been removed, and he was beginning to grow more and more bored. He had been developing a plan to escape his cell, to leave base, and locate Ren and take him out himself, but he could not think of a way how. As he laid there on his bunk, he remembered then that he still had his blaster pistol. He thought then of a plan. It would be risky, foolish even, but it was a plan. As he looked down at it, he heard the cell door open.
"Good evening, General, I am here to serve you your second meal of the day," said the food droid.
Hux was still looking at his pistol, "That... that will not be necessary." As he said these words, he began shooting at the droid until it crumpled to the ground before him. He then ran out of the cell to the nearest hangar to locate a ship. He could hear a loud beeping noise behind him as he ran through the corridors.
Phasma was in the assembly room with a couple of Stormtroopers when she heard the noise. "No!" she exclaimed. "The prisoner has escaped! After him! After him! Do not let him leave!"
Once the Stormtroopers got to the hangar and started shooting at Hux, it was too late. He successfully boarded the ship, and was out of sight within seconds.
"Nooo! You fools! Do you realize what you have done?" She said as she stared out in the openness of space before her.
He was gone.
Luke Skywalker saw Rey outside through his window. She was wielding her saber staff around at an imaginary attacker, practicing her fighting stance. He noticed how her reflexes had improved, and how much stronger she looked since the last time he saw her on Ahch-To. He then left his room in pursuit of speaking with her.
"Your technique has improved greatly," he said as he stood there watching her. She stopped as she heard his voice. "Yes , I have been told it helps greatly if you imagine your enemy is standing before you," she replied.
He walked towards her, "If you are referring to my nephew, I hardly think he is your enemy."
She shut off her saber staff, "No disrespect at all towards you Master Luke, but he has proven himself greatly now to be my enemy."
The Jedi sighed out deeply, "Rey, take this in consideration for a moment," she looked up at him in confusion. "If he was really your enemy, would he had trained you as he did? Would he had brought you here? Would he had told you that he loved you?"
Rey looked up at him then, eyes widened, "You know? Did Finn tell you?"
He laughed, "No, he did not have to. I could see it clearly, anyone could." Rey felt her face grow hot, "Also," he continued, "I could sense his emotional pull towards you the second you stepped on D'Qar. Why else would he try to kill Finn when he saw him touching you?"
Rey stood there, shocked by his words, "Are you, of all people, actually justifying his actions? He was completely out of line to do that!"
"I agree," he told her. "I am by no means justifying my nephew's actions, all I am simply saying is that sometimes, love can make one do very foolish things."
She stood there before him now, unable to meet his eye, "I know you love him, Rey. You don't have to verbally say it." he told her.
"You're right," she admitted, "I do love him, and I absolutely hate that I love him. I know that he is on our side, that he wishes to defeat Snoke and the First Order, but he still infuriates me with the stupid things he does."
He laughed, "You sound just like Leia whenever she complained about Han," he said. "Han was so stubborn, so full of himself, so irritating. It seemed like every little thing he did infuriated Leia. But she loved him, and he loved her. And that's all that mattered."
Rey smiled. "I just feel like I've failed you Master," she said.
He looked at her, and his eyes softened, "Oh Rey, you have not failed me. You have done as I requested. My nephew is here, and he is alive and well."
"No," she said. "I am not talking about that. I have let my emotions cloud my judgement. My anger, my frustration, my love for him. I have forgotten my training, the Jedi code, everything. I am so ashamed of myself Master."
She was looking down now, too ashamed to meet his eye, "Rey, look at me," he said as she slowly met his eye. "You have not failed me, like I once said to you before, compassion, love, is essential to a Jedi's life. Your love for one another has made you both stronger. You will need your strength if you are to successfully take down Snoke." She looked to the side and exhaled deeply before meeting his eye once more. "So please, do not let this unfortunate incident of jealously interfere with your mission. Just go talk to him, see what he has to say. Give him a chance to explain himself before you start lunging at him again with your saber staff. Okay?"
She smiled, and laughed slightly, "Oh alright," she said. "But I'm not making any promises."
Kylo Ren was in his room, he was starving. He hadn't left his room since his encounter with Rey, carefully avoiding confrontation for the time being. He realized then that it was foolish for him to hide out and wait like a child, and grabbed his saber hilt and proceeded to walk out of the room. As he was halfway out of the door, he saw his comlink flash brightly in his bag. He quickly shut the door and stood before it, anxiously waiting for the hologram that would shortly appear before him.
As the hologram came into focus, it spoke to him, "I have called upon you once more for an update on the girls training," Snoke said.
Kylo Ren stood up straight then, and stared at the hologram very confidently, "Her reflexes have improved greatly your leadership. In fact, she nearly gave me another scar on my face while training yesterday evening,"
The hologram smiled greatly, "Excellent, she is growing stronger. I have decided to extend the amount of time left for her to complete her training. I shall allow you five months more time with the girl before I greet you in person."
Ren silently sighed in relieve, "I appreciate your kindness, your leadership. The extra time will benefit the girl greatly."
The hologram stared intensely into his dark brown eyes, "Remember what I have told you Kylo Ren, do not try anything foolish."
"Yes, your leadership," he replied, and the hologram disappeared before his eyes.
He shrugged then in frustration, how was he going to get her to comply to training with him for another five months? When she couldn't even look at him now without wanting to kill him? He exhaled deeply then, and left the room in hopes of finding her.
Hux was far off from base now, eager to get to his destination. He was slightly delirious from being in solitary confinement for over a week, and the fact that his anger had still not subsided. He knew know for certain where Ren was located. He knew he and the girl had taken Phasma's ship, and knew of the tracking device that lie within it. He quickly pulled up the tracking number and stared in fascination.
"D'Qar?" He asked himself. "Looks like Ren ran home to go see his mommy. Hope he won't mind another addition to the party."
As Kylo Ren walked to the dining area, he stopped in his tracks as he saw her. She looked much calmer now, and she slowly made her way towards him. "We need to talk," she said.
"I know," he shrugged. "But not out here, in case of another…incident." She said nothing in reply, and made her way towards her room. As she walked inside, she heard the door shut door behind her. She dropped her saber staff on her bed then, crossed her arms, and looked up at him, "Explain yourself, now." she said.
He ran his fingers through his hair, and licked his lips. "Well, first, I want to apologize for injuring your shoulder. Second, I don't like the way he looks at you Rey," he told her. "I don't like the way he looks you, the way he speaks to you, the way he touches you. It makes me want to... kill him."
"You are ridiculous! He is my friend. Ben. Friend. Nothing more." She informed him. "This jealously thing is not attractive on you whatsoever, it's quite irritating actually."
He sat on her bed, "Well I apologize, okay? Are you happy now?"
"No." she said with her arms still crossed. "I want you to apologize to Finn for your behavior."
He scoffed at her, "You are out of your damn mind if you think I would ever-"
"How about this," she said as she began to pace the room. "If you do not apologize to him, the only time you will see my undressed body again will be in your dreams."
His eyes widened, "Fine," he said. "Now, there is something I must tell you, regarding Snoke."
She uncrossed her arms and sat on the bed beside him, "What is it?" she asked.
"He's given us another five months to train," he told her.
"Good," she replied. "Then we should get started now."
As she rose out of her bed and began to leave the room, he grabbed her hand and whirled her around to face him, and kissed her. "I love you, you know that right?"
"Yes, I know," she said. She smiled then, and left the room.
