Disclaimer: Same thing.
Without Luke knowing, Rey and Axel had taken the Jedi texts with them as them and the others were flying through hyperspace then the two friends entered the escape pods.
"As soon as we launch, you jump back out of range." Rey said to Chewie "Stay there until you get my signal for where to rendezvous. If you see Finn before I do, tell him..." Chewie responded with a growl. "Yeah, tell him that."
"Let's get moving, we don't have much time." Axel said as he and Rey made their way into their pods. The Falcon came out of hyperspace and launched the two pods then disappeared again as the two pods made their way onto Snoke's ship The Supremacy. Axel felt is pod land as it opened and he saw Rey and Kylo Ren standing above him.
"This is either really good or really bad" The Prince said.
Later Rey and Axel were handcuffed in a elevator while Ren was holding their sabers.
"You don't have to this" Rey said to Ren. "I feel the conflict within you"
"Don't bother Rey" Axel said "He's not worth saving after what he did"
"Like you've never killed a member of your family" Ren said as Axel turned aggressively to him.
"I didn't kill Selena and you know it!" Axel.
"What's he talking about?" Rey asked.
Axel sighed "When we were kids Selena, Ben and I were playing near the rock mountains on Mandalore. All the sudden there was a quake and it split the ground. Selena fell through the crack and grabbed I her arm, unfortunately I didn't get a good grip and she fell into the caesium. My parents sent our troops to find her, but they never did."
"Axel, I'm so sorry" Rey whispered in a sad tone. Just then the elevator stopped and open and they saw an old man on a throne. He had scars all over his face and was wearing a gold robe. This was Snoke, Supreme Leader of the First Order. Ren pushed the two towards the deformed man as he chuckled.
"Well done, my good and faithful apprentice. Snoke said with joy in his voice as Ren kneeled to him. "My faith in you is restored. Welcome young Rey and Axel Archer. it is a true honor to have such royalty in my presence" Snoke mocked.
The Prince and the scavenger were released from their cuffs as they kept looking at the Supreme Leader.
"Come closer child" Snoked said to Rey. but she wouldn't move. "So much strength. Darkness rises and light to meet it. I warned my young apprentice that as he grew stronger, his equal in the light and in between would rise" Snoke then used the force to call the Skywalker saber to him. "Skywalker, I assumed wrongly. Closer I said" Snoke used the force to gently pull Rey toward him.
"You underestimate Luke Skywalker and Ben Solo as well as Axel and me" Rey said "It will be your downfall"
"Oh, have you seen something?" Snoked asked "A weakness in my apprentice Is that why you both came?" The Supreme Leader let out a chuckle. "Young fool, it was I you breached all three of your minds. I stoked Ren's conflicted soul. I knew he was not strong enough to hide it from you. And Neither you or Axel were not wise enough to resist the bait. And now you will give me Skywalker. Then I will kill you"
"No" Rey refused. just then Snoke lifted her up in the air and was painful probing her mind.
"Let her go!" Axel demanded.
"Take one more step and I'll kill her" Snoke said.
"I said... Let. Her. Go. Axel growled. Just then it felt like everything in the room was being crushed. Ren and Snoke's guards where on their hands and knees. Snoke then dropped Rey as she looked at her friend in horror.
"Yes" Snoke hissed "He is strong with the darkside. You would have made an excellent apprentice"
Rey tried to walk over to Axel while she felt like she was being pulled to the ground. "Axel look at me!" She said as she twisted Axel's head toward her. "Don't do this please. You're a good person I know you are. Don't let your anger consume you."
"Axel looked into Rey's eyes then suddenly the crushing stopped but the room was full of bents and dents. "I'm sorry Rey" The Prince said as they hugged each other.
"Ah love" Snoke laughed making the two force wielders look at him "Such a pathetic bond. No matter, we shall give Skywalker and Jedi Order the death he desires. After the Rebels are gone, we will go to his planet and obliterate the entire island"
Rey used the force to call the Skywalker saber to her but Snoke made it go around her then it hit the back of her head before it reached his arm rest.
"Such spunk" Snoke said as he pushed the Prince and the Scavenger back to Ren. "And because of that you both must die" Snoke then made Axel and Rey face towards Ren and he unclipped his saber from his belt. "My worthy apprentice, son of darkness, her apparent to Lord Vader. Where there was conflict I now sense resolve. Where there was weakness, strength. Complete your training, and fulfill your destiny."
Ren looked at the two friends while they were struggling. "I know what I have to do" he said.
"Ben..." Rey whispered as Snoke chuckled.
"You two still believe you can turn him?" The Supreme Leader asked "Pathetic children. I cannot be betrayed, I cannot be beaten. I see his mind, I see his every intention. I see him turning the lightsaber to strike and now foolish children, he ignites it and kills his true enemy!"
Axel and Rey her a blade ignite. However it wasn't Ren's blade. Then the two felt themselves being released and collapsing on the floor then they looked up and saw Snoke being penetrated by the Skywalker saber. Ren used the force to call the saber to him. Rey then caught the saber while Ren handed Axel his. The three force wielders looked at each other as Snoke's guards surrounded them then Axel, Rey and Ren fought them off. Axel blocked two of the guards attacks before stabbed one and cut off the other head. The Prince heard Rey call out Ben and say saw Ren take out the last guard by stabbing it in the eye with the Skywalker saber. When it was over Snoke's throne room was completely destroyed. the red curtain were burning on the floor. Rey then looked out the window and saw that the pod the Resistance were in were still being destroyed.
"The fleet" She said then turning to Ren. "Order them to stop firing. There's still time to save the fleet"
Ren wasn't paying any attention to her as he look at the throne where is dead master once was.
"It's time to let old things die" Ren said "Snoke, Skywalker, Mandalore, The Sith, The Jedi, The Rebels. Let them all die. I want you both to join me. We can rule together and bring a new order to the galaxy"
"You know damn well that's never gonna happen" Axel growled. "You wannabes will never rule the galaxy!"
"You're still holding on Axel! Ren shouted "Let go! Rey, do you wanna know the truth about your parents?"
Rey tensed up at the mention of her parents. Axel then gently grabbed her hand to calm her down.
"They were nobody..." Rey said crying.
"They were filthy junk traders who sold you off for drinking money." Ren said "They're dead in a paupers grave in the Jakku desert. You have no place in this story. You're nothing"
"He's lying" Axel said as he stepped forward. "You know nothing about her parents or her life."
"And you do?" Ren asked.
"No" Axel said "But I don't need to lie and tell her that she's nothing. She is not nothing. She's a kind human being and nothing you say can change that. Because you don't get to decide who she is. Only she can"
"Axel..." Rey whisper. Then the young Jedi used the force to call the Skywalker saber, however Ren was also using the force to call it back to him. The Saber floating in the air while the two force wielders kept playing tug-of-war with it. Suddenly Rey felt less strained as she noticed Axel was help her pull the saber with the force. Even though it was two against one, Rey and Axel were still having trouble pulling the saber to them until finally the saber snapped! Having been knocked out by the blinding light Axel and Rey awoke and saw that Ren was still unconscious.
"What happened?" Axel groaned.
"I don't know" Rey said "The saber!" She said as she picked up both halves"
"We can probably still fix it" Axel Let's get out of here first."
Axel and Rey eventually made their way back to the Millennium Falcon then they sat down to catch their breath.
"Snoke's is dead" Rey said "Does that mean we won?"
"No" Axel said "Ren will take command of the First Order, which means he's The Supreme Leader now. It Also means this war isn't over." Rey looked at Axel with tears in her eyes. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"I thought I lost you to the darkside back there" Rey said
"I know, I'm sorry Rey" Axel said holding her hand. "When i saw him hurting you i just lost it" The two force weilders stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds which felt like hours until they both moved in for a passionate kiss. Both Rey and Axel had their eyes closed as the continued to kiss until the brike away for air then looked at each other again.
"Was that wrong?" Axel asked
"If that was wrong, I don't want to be right" Rey said as she and Axel kissed each other again. Just then the two heard Chewie's voice over the intercom saying that the Resistance was in trouble.
"Talk later?" Rey asked.
"Talk later" Axel as they went back to the cockpit.
The Falcon landed behind the old Rebel Base and saw that the back entrance was block by a bunch of rocks.
"We need to lift these out of the way" Rey said.
"That's what the force is for right?" Axel joked making Rey roll her eyes.
The two Jedi used the force to move the giant rocks out of the way until they saw what was left of the Resistance including Finn, Poe, Leia, C-3PO, and BB-8. Finn ran up to his friends and hugged them both. The whole Resistance then climbed into the Falcon, but then Axel Rey and Leia felt a disturbance in the force. Luke Skywalker was dead. Leia then slow climbed aboard the ship as the young Jedi saw Ren through their connection through the force. Then Rey closed the Falcon's hatch then the ship took off into space. Rey and Axel then sat next to Leia while Rey held the broken saber in her hands.
"Luke is gone" Rey said "Who will train me now?"
"I know someone who can. Hey Chewie!" Axel said as the Wookie turned to him. "Take this bucket of bolt to Mandalore"
