A/N: I apologize for how short chapter 3 is! I tried to write more but I had a terrible case of writers block. I really wanted this chapter to focus on Kylo. The next chapter will be much longer, I promise! Enjoy and don't forget to give a review ^_^
In the meantime, Ben...Kylo Ren, was picked up in a command shuttle on order by Supreme Leader Snoke. The shuttle flew him to the Starkiller Base, where he was greeted by hundreds of newly trained Stormtroopers. A red haired man confronted Kylo on his way off of the shuttle. "I am General Hux. Welcome to the Starkiller Base, Lord Kylo Ren. We have been expecting your arrival. These Stormtroopers are under my command but they will answer to you too now. The Supreme Leader wanted to see you as soon as you arrived."
Kylo stared at the man in front of him, giving him a slow nod. He let him lead the way to Snoke in his private chamber. Snoke appeared before them. "Supreme Leader Snoke, I have brought the boy to you, just as you asked. I will leave you to speak with him." Hux took a few steps backwards to exit the chamber. Kylo had his arms neatly folded behind his back, looking up at the giant figure of his new master. "I have failed to kill Skywalker, Supreme Leader. He was right in my grasps but he managed to overpower me and escape. Forgive me."
"Forgiveness is for the weak. You are not weak, are you Kylo Ren? I'll let it slip by this one time. I had a feeling this would happen but you're only still learning to embrace the dark side of the force. We have another problem on our hands..." Snoke spoke in a calm manner, laying eyes down at his apprentice. "It seems that Luke Skywalker has gone into exile. We need to find and destroy him like it was ordered. You will continue with your training, Kylo."
"Yes, Supreme Leader." Kylo bowed his head down in respect. He had just one more thing to say. "I have to be honest about something."
"And what would that be?"
"I felt... I felt the light side trying to pull me away from the dark. I think it's my parents and my sister. It's like they're trying to save me. I don't want to feel the light. I want the dark. How can I fully embrace the dark side, Supreme Leader? Teach me more." Kylo pleaded, biting hard on his bottom lip. It drew a bit of blood.
Snoke knew exactly how to stir up some rage into Kylo. "You will learn in time how to keep the light out for good, Kylo. But just remember, if you don't, you'll never live up to Darth Vader's legacy like you want to. That's not what you want, is it?" He asked.
"No. Of course not...I don't want to let you or him down. That's not my intention." Kylo spat, glaring up at his master. His hands were balled up into a fist, but not towards Snoke. It was the fact that he hated being told that he would never be able to be as great as his grandfather. He wanted to be as good as, or even better. But in a way, it helped him to get away from the grasps of the light pulling at him, for now at least. "I think I should leave to go rest for a bit." Kylo left Snoke's chambers, passing by a few Stormtrooper to get to his room. He paced around the room to calm down a bit. "Grandfather...grandfather, I am capable of living up to your legacy. I need your guidance. I need your help. Teach me your ways of the dark side." Kylo sat down in front of the charred remains of Vader's helmet, talking to it. This was something he had been doing for quite some time now, even before his turn. His family never knew Kylo had kept this hidden from them.
As he laid down and closed his eyes to rest, memories of the events that happened not even an hour ago. He saw Jade in his mind, hearing her voice as she pleaded with him not to go through with his.
'I don't care. I'm going to finish what he started and become more powerful than he was. I will build my own Empire! Nothing is going to stand in my way, not even you. Now move!'
'No. I refuse. I won't let you go on with this. Ben...don't let the dark side consume you. You're better than this. You're powerful enough already. Even uncle Luke says so. Going down the dark side isn't going to prove anything! Please...j-just-'
'I told you to get out of my way, Jade! I didn't want it to come to this but you leave me with no choice...The only way to prove that I am stronger than our grandfather is to kill the man who killed him And I refuse to let some weakling like you stop me...'
'B-Ben, d-don't, p-please...'
'This ends for you now little sister.'
His eyes flew open, teeth clenched. He could feel the light pulling at him once again. 'No. I refuse to let it call me back. I am not weak like those Jedi, like my father, my uncle, and my sister. They were holding me back this entire time.' Kylo growled to himself, shifting his body around to finally rest.
'Forgive me...Jade.'
