Ben was worried. Scared. He was also surprised. How come Snoke is more focused on Reyna? He thought Snoke would have gone after him. He needs to make sure he's ready to help her. She can't fight this alone. She's struggled enough, trying to get away from the dark side. She's had a lot more problems than Ben. He knows this. It's all she's ever known, the minute he can get in her head, is the minute she's gone. Ben can't risk that. It would destroy him, and her. Not to mention, if she's turned to the dark side once more, he will be next. He's come too far to let Snoke have a good over him anymore. Determined to never go back, Ben decides to stop using his red Saber. From this point, he's going to make another one. Ben goes to speak to his mother to find out where he can get a new lightsaber made. She smiled. She knew why he was asking. "Here." Leia says reaching into a box. "I kept this for you...just in case." Ben looks at her hands, he sees a lightsaber. He recognised it. It was his! The one he had before he turned to the dark side. "I can't believe you kept it."
"I always had hope that you'd come back one day...I never really gave up hoping." Ben smiles, hugging his mother. "I should probably get training then!"
"That would be a good idea!" Leia laughs.
Ben spends some time alone in an open field practicing with his lightsaber. "This feels more balanced." Ben thinks to himself. It seems almost easier to use. He feels more connected with the force somehow. Reyna decided to sneak up on Ben, a little surprise. "Ben!" She shouted suddenly bit loudly some feet behind him. He jumped, surprised by her, and not expecting to be Reyna, Ben instinctively swing the lightsaber around as he turned. Hon seeing her he stopped it. He moved it away and stared in shock for a moment. "I-I'm so sorry!" Ben calls, "you scared me!"
"It's my fault! I didn't know you were training!" I laugh. "I wouldn't have jumped out of you like that if I knew!" Ben laughs pulling me into a hug. "New lightsaber.." I say "nice!"
"It's not new. This is the one I had before I turned to the dark side." Ben replies. "My mum kept it in waiting for the day I came back." "Awh! That's cute!" I laugh. "I know you needed a new lightsaber too..." Ben says "so I got you one made!" "You did?!" I look at Ben, sounding excited. "Of course!" Ben hands me a lightsaber, shiny silver body, it was light. "Give it a try!" Pressing the button, a beautiful purple beam emerged from the body of the lightsaber. "Wow, I love it!" I say, swinging it around. "Thank you." "Anything for you!" Ben kisses my forehead. We walk back to the base. It's beginning to get dark. Meeting with the others we begin to relax and unwind after the day. Leia comes in, looking concerned. "What's the matter?" Rey asks Leia. "I will give you guys one guess."
"Snoke." Ben muttered "You got it!" Leia sighs. "He's back at it again, he's attacking one of our bases."
"We have to stop him!" Rey shouts. "Well Everyone..." Leia begins. "Get to your battle stations!"
Everyone begins rushing to get ready. We all meet in the flight deck. Getting into our ships and going after Snoke. Arriving to the planet, we see destruction. It's everywhere. Fire is blaring through the cold snow. Peoples screams echo in the trees. I sigh. I don't feel ready but I can't let this go on. I'm never going back. He can't just hurt people and expect me to return to him. In the end, the death will never end. Not unless I can end it. I will fight him if I have to. Upon finding the source, we see Captain Phasma standing there, she's looking at us. It's like she was expecting us. "You're too late." She laughs. "Enough of this." Ben grunts "There was a time where you enjoyed this...Kylo." Phasma mocked. "I don't like that anymore. I never truly did. Also, it's Ben. Not Kylo." "You won't be Ben forever..." "I will never turn. Maybe, just maybe, I will make 'Kylo Ren' into something of the light side instead!"
"You'll always be Kylo Ren."
"How so?" "You still wear the same outfit you wore when you were Kylo." "That means nothing." Captain Phasma called her troops over. They all pointed their guns toward us. We all grabbed our lightsabers. Except Ben. Why? He smirked toward Phasma. "Do it." "Ben!" I shout. "What are you doing!?"
"Trust me." "Fire!" Phasma calls out. Bullets fly toward us. At this point I don't know what to do. Then Ben stops them all in mid-air! That's right! I forgot he could do that! Now I understand why he seemed so smug. "Kylo" Phasma says "you can't run from the dark side. Just come back. I know you can't say no." "Yes, I can." Ben smirks. "NO." "You really want to, don't lie" "No, I really don't."
"I wouldn't be so sure if I were you, Kylo." "Stop calling me that." Ben scowled at Phasma. "That's it, Kylo. Let the hate flow through you." Phasma laughs. "I'm not letting hate flow through me, I'm just planning your funeral." "You will never defeat me." Ben continues to scowl at her. He uses the force to choke her. All the other troopers aim their guns at him. Unfazed, he continues to force choke Captain Phasma. They all begin shooting, but he stops the bullets as well. He has become powerful, since joining the light. He was able to use his force abilities better, and in those case, more than one at one time!
"You underestimate me." Ben smirked. "I am better now, than I ever was! If I wanted to, I could mess with your head, her in there and learn your deepest secrets. I could destroy you from the inside out. You have no idea what I'm capable of. I'm so much more now than I was. To top it all off, I'm redeeming myself for all my wrongdoings."
Stormtroopers started coming in from all directions. With Ben dealing with the captain, the rest of us took to taking out the troopers. "Reyna" Ben calls to me "Yes?" "Stay close to me. I need you to stay close in case anything happens okay?!" "I wasn't planning to leave you with no cover anyway!" I smile "Good, now as my father would have said," Ben smiles "let's blow this ship, then go home!" I laugh, kissing his cheek then turning to fight the troopers. A storm trooper must ya e slipped past me because he distracted Ben and Phasma got free! Luckily I got there in time and took out the trooper before Ben was shot. Phasma was the problem now. She had her gun pointing at us, she's the one that never misses and I feel like Ben might struggle fending off the bullets she has. Something about this situation tells me she's hiding something. She suddenly fires her gun at Ben many times, he's ready to stop them but I feel like it won't be enough. I jump in front of him and try to deflect the bullets with my lightsaber. With that, the bullets hit and I watched as the blade seemed spark a bright light, it faded. I stood, in complete shock. Stared at the blade. Weird because it still seemed whole, but something wasn't right about it. It seemed to jitter and jump, just like Ben's red Saber...it can't be?! Did her bullets crack the crystal in the lightsaber?! Is it even possible?!
"What did you do?" I say angrily "I think you need a new Kyber Crystal!" Phasma laughed. "My old Saber is the same" Ben says "don't worry, it's fine. We can get you another one!"
Phasma fled, knowing she was defeated. She had no army to take back with her, she had 5 storm troopers. That was all. The battle wasn't over. Not for a long time...
*Authors note: I randomly chose the purple Saber as Reyna's light side weapon, then I searched up the purple Saber and I'm so glad I picked it! It meets with Reyna well. She has no place in the light or dark, and that's what a purple Saber represents (well part of it lol!) I hope you're enjoying the story so far! Most of this I think up on the spot, so I'd be amazed if you could leave me a review:)*
