Whatever It Takes
A/N: This is the final chapter, so enjoy it! lol. So I know I usually do my noted at the end, but the end is meant to just leave you hanging, so I didn't want to put my note after it lol. Anyways :) I just wanted to thank you for reading 'It is You', it means so much that you took the time to read, vote, and comment because this was my first book and I had originally not planned for it to go this far or even do a sequel, but I will be doing a sequel! I have already picked out a name for it, but I'll reveal that later on my Instagram (reyloaddict).
I'd like to give a huge special shout out to johannaistrash who has become my best friend and is absolutely amazing! She has given me inspiration and always encouraged my writing, so I dedicate this final chapter to her.
Without further ado: Here is your long awaited chapter.
Rey's POV
"Leader Snoke." I bow to the tall figure in front of me.
"Rey." He nods and I rise. "How are you feeling since your hit to the head?"
"Much better, however, the doctor says some of my memory was lost, so I do find some things confusing."
"That's unfortunate to hear, but are you ready to contuine your training?" He questions me.
"Yes master." I speak as Hux walks in behind me. "I am ready to contuine with the Knights of Ren."
"Good... they shall soon have a new master to lead them."
I smile. "Yes they shall, Supreme Leader."
"Supreme Leader, are you sure she is ready to..."
I shoot a look at Hux to quiet him.
He visibly swallows. "Nevermind."
I look up and see Snoke glaring at Hux, as well.
I smirk. "Ben Solo may have eliminated Kylo Ren, but he soon shall meet his match."
Snoke smiles and dissolves in front of us.
I turn on my heel.
"Rey." Hux grabs my hand.
"What?" I yank my hand away.
"Are you..."
"Why are you doubting me?" I interrupt him.
"I... I'm... just worried." He looks down and back up at me.
"Well don't." I stride off and exit the room. I head down the hall way and stormtroopers get out of my way immediately.
I get to my room and open the door. I see Sassy cleaning the living room. I flop down on the couch.
"Can you run me a bath?"
"No problem, anything else Rey?"
"Yeah, can you accompany me to the cafeteria afterwards?"
She looks unsure, surprised, and shocked. She smiles and slowly nods. "Yeah. That'd be great." She turns to go to my bathroom. "Should I invite Hux?"
I groan. "No, I'm done of him right now."
She chuckles. "No Hux it is."
Ben's POV
I've been seating here listening to who's Missing-In-Action, confirmed dead, and why we haven't gone to Endor to look for those missing.
"Luke is feeling unwell and I know plenty of you are, so why don't we postpone our voting about sending a team for a few days and..."
I slam my hand on the table and stand. "I'm ready to vote now! Who cares if we are tired? Why don't you guys vote in a few days and I take a volunteer only crew down to Endor and search for them myself instead of sitting around here."
"Agreed." Alexa joins in. "Permission to speak freely?"
"Yes." Leia and I reply together.
"Honestly I would like to go as well. We should get a volunteer team together, Ben and I could do it, and even if no one wants to go Ben and I could and that'll be better than no one."
"Why are you so determined to go? You just got promoted." Someone speaks out.
"Because I have faith that my friends are alive." Alexa shoots back immediately.
"As do I." I speak up. "Who wants to go? Show of hands."
Alexa and I raise right away. Chewbacca does too, but slower than us. R2 chimes in and I smile at those with their hands raised.
"Alexa you're our best pilot..." Mom begins to say. I retake my seat.
"You let Poe go to Jakku alone with just BB8 and he is the best pilot in the Resistance."
"He got captured too." Leia snaps back.
"I'm not there to catch him!" All eyes are on me. "Sorry, about that by the way." I dip my head.
I hear mom groan. She's caving. I look at her and give her the Han look.
"Don't do that." She eyes me.
"Do what?" I contuine.
"Fine. The four of you may go, take the Falcon."
I smile at Alexa and she smiles then leans in. "Things are looking up, so I forbid you to cry yourself to sleep tonight... again."
I smile and shake my head. Then my smile slowly fades. Finding my friends isn't the same as finding Rey, but I will do whatever it takes to bring her home.
--------------Few Days Later-------------------
Rey's POV
"Uuuughhh." I grunt as I bring my training saber down on FN-2199's baton.
He falls backwards and scrambles to get up.
I kick him and send him flying backwards.
"Please." He says as I kick his weapon away.
"I like you begging. Do it again."
He stands and and I shift my eyes down and he kneels before me.
"Please. I beg of you."
I chuckle and extend my hand. He accepts it and I pull him up.
"See I told you, she can handle herself." Nines says to Hux and Sassy who came to watch my training today.
"Well done dear."
I smile and walk over to Hux.
He wraps his arms around my waist and I place my arms around his neck. "Are you going to stop worrying now?"
"Not fully, but some."
I smile and kiss his cheek. "Hey Sassy?"
"Yes Rey?"
"Do you fight?"
She grins. "Yes I do."
"I'd like to see you and Nines take on me then."
I slide from Hux's arms and walk over to the weapons box.
"Weapon of choice?"
"Got an axe in there?"
I turn and raise an eyebrow. "I wish." I smile. "Only training weapons built to feel pain, but not cause pain."
"How bout I give a go at a saber then." She says.
I smile and toss her one. "Let's play."
Nines shakes his head and Hux rolls his eyes at me.
----------------- A Few Days Later-------------
Ben's POV
The Falcon has some mechanical problems and mom won't allow us to borrow one of her ships to go do our search.
Chewbacca, Alexa, and I have been working like crazy, Luke has offered to pitch in, but I think he's only trying to spy for his sister.
We need to go find our survivors, if there are any, or at least recover the bodies and give them proper graves.
We are working on an outer panel that's barely hanging on when Emi comes out on her crutches.
"Still can't believe you of all people were shot."
She rolls her eyes. "Whatever. I have some info you need."
I drop my wrench. Literally, it clanks on the ground. "Tell me."
"I know Finn was alive when Poe crashed. He took off running screaming his name. I don't know if he has survived without food and water though."
"What about Phasma and Johanna's team?"
"We have no record of them after dropping us off... they just went... off the charts... disappeared." She looks down at her feet. "We finally were able to get in touch with the ewoks."
The First Order destroyed their signal tower when leaving.
"What? And?"
"Wicket is sending out a search crew to Poe and the others crash site."
Rey's POV
"Master Snoke. You asked to see me."
"Yes, Rey. It is time for you to resume training with the Knights of Ren... else where."
"I don't understand."
"Your friends and Hux have become a ... distraction. I have taken it upon myself to arrange for you to train elsewhere."
"Where is elsewhere?"
"You will know in time. What you need is currently being packed for you."
I shift my weight uneasy at the sudden situation. My duel lightsaber slightly sways and I take a deep breathe.
"I will do whatever it takes, Supreme Leader."
