Castle
"Come on Ben," Poe said as he nervously sat in the loading dock of the Finalizer waiting for Ben to arrive.
"If I don't make it onto the ship... " Poe thought about what Ben had said. What did he mean if he didn't make it on the ship? Was he anticipating that he was going to die? Or was this all a giant trap and his sister was really dead and Ben had just brought him here to torture and kill him.
Suddenly there was a tapping on the side of the ship and Poe looked down to see Ben standing next to the ship arms crossed over his chest.
Quickly Poe hopped out standing next to Ben.
"What are we going to do?" He asked.
"She knows we are here, it's up to her, she has to make the first move.'
Poe looked around at the stormtrooper none of whom were wearing helmets, as they walked by they would glare at Poe reaching for their weapons, but the minute they say that he was with Kylo Ren they would go about their business. "So we are just going to wait here!" Poe exclaimed struggling to stop himself from grabbing his blaster.
"Master Ren," Both heard a voice say and they turned around to see Captain Phasma behind them. Poe gritted his teeth when he saw her. 'Supreme Leader Y/N request both you and Captain Dameron's presence in the throne room."
"Thank you Captain Phasma..." Ben started.
"General, sir, Supreme Leader Y/N has promoted me to being in charge of the entire First Order army."
"And her orders about Arkanis..." Ben started.
"We have taken out 6 major cities and we are still working on the planet, the supreme leader did pull some of our men to start working on taking out the Resistance."
Poe opened his mouth but Phasma glared at him causing him to shut it.
"Please make your way to the throne room or I am instructed to escort you there by force." Phasma stated.
"No we will go." Ben sighed and Phasma stormed off.
"What the fuck." Poe said as he followed Ben. "They have taken out 6 cities under my sisters orders?"
"It's the planet that Hux was from." Ben said as he started towards the throne room.
"Ben, how the hell are we supposed to bring Y/N back, she is trying to take out not only an entire planet but also the Resistance."
"Are you going to give up on her?" Ben asked seriously.
"No of course not!" Poe snapped back. "You don't get to talk about giving up Solo."
Ben bawled his hand up to a fist but quickly loosened it. He couldn't lose control. Every movement he made he knew Y/N was watching.
"Where is Snoke?" Poe asked.
"When I left, she had made him stay in the throne room. I would imagine that he got moved to a cell or something of that nature." Ben insisted as they got into the elevator.
"Prepare me, what am I going to see when I see her Ben." Poe asked. "Will I see my sister?"
"Honestly Poe," Ben said turning to look at him. "No, you won't, but you have to remember that she is somewhere inside beneath all of the power."
As the doors opened the two men turned to find the throne room empty, except for Snoke who still sat in the exact same position that he had been sitting when Ben left.
"She is more powerful than I could ever had imagined. She will be the one to carry on Darth Vader's legacy. Who knew all it took was something to trigger her power." Snoke laughed inside Ben's head.
"You bastard!" Poe screamed as he charged at Snoke pulling out his blaster.
"Poe stop!" Ben said following after him.
"He's the one who is in charge of everything! If we take him out we can save Y/N."
"There is nothing more that I want than to destroy Snoke. But we can't, by killing Snoke, it will not help bring Y/N back. She isn't doing this for him, she is doing this for only herself." Ben insisted.
"She will never be brought back Ben, she isn't as weak willed as you. She has made her choice and it is the dark." Snoke said in his head.
"Shut the fuck up!" Ben screamed turning to look at Snoke.
"What?" Poe asked seriously.
"He's in my head." Ben said putting up his shield so he couldn't hear Snoke's words.
Suddenly Poe turned to look behind Ben and froze.
"What are you..." Ben started when he also turned around to see Y/N walking towards them.
Ben's jaw dropped as he watched Y/N walk into the room. She was wearing a black dress with long sleeves, it cut down in the front almost to her waist. Her skirt was short in the front but long in the back and the inside of the long skirt was red and there was a red belt around her waist. Her black heels clicked against the floor the straps wrapping around her feet. Her hair was cut down to her shoulders and it was straightened
"Y/N," Ben gasped.
"Hello Kylo," She said glaring at him.
"Y/N, what are you..." Poe started but Y/N wasn't looking at him her focus was solely on Ben.
"You left." She said as she walked up to him.
"I..."
"But guess what," She smiled. "I didn't shut down when you left, I don't need you around." She snapped.
"Y/N!" Poe gasped as Ben looked down at the ground.
Y/N's head snapped to look over at her brother.
"Hello Poe." Y/N said no emotion in her voice at all. "I'm sorry that Benjamin brought you here, you see his plan is flawed because I don't need saving. Look at me! I'm no longer afraid, I'm no longer the scared little girl who needs her brother or her boyfriend," She hissed at Ben. "To save her anymore."
"You took out a Resistance ship! There were good people on that ship! And you slaughter them. You are working on taking out an entire planet! This isn't you this..." Poe screamed grabbing Y/N's arm
Y/N quickly flung Poe backwards.
"I'm evening the scales! The First Order must be controlled by a neutral mind. I don't care about the fucking Jedi and I don't care about the Sith, I just care about the power. This power can destroy and kill, but it can also save. I can protect the people I care about, which right now is you and Ben and that is it. But I can destroy everything that is going to be a danger to us. And that is the Resistance! They are trying to fight a war that they are never going to win, they are risking people's lives, killing people just because they feel like they are representing the rest of the universe. But here's the thing Poe. The rest of the universe doesn't give a shit about the Resistance. Have you not noticed that no one comes to the Resistance's rescue. No one cares!" Y/N roared causing the room to shake slightly.
Neither Ben or Poe could say a word as they looked up at the girl neither one could recognize.
Ben suddenly charged at Y/N placing his hands on her face turning her so she was looking him in the eyes.
"Don't do this, this isn't you, you have to fight this come back, please come back." Ben pleaded.
"I didn't go anywhere Kylo." She hissed. "This has always been in me, it just needed something to draw it out. I thought that my destiny was to rescue you and to bring you back to the light. But the light is for the week. My destiny is to control the dark." She said as she placed her hand on Ben's face and both saw the vision of their future. Or at least Y/N believed they saw the same vision, Ben saw something different. What Y/N saw was herself sitting on the throne ruling over the entire galaxy with Ben by her side.
Ben however saw himself and Y/N in a room surrounded by fire. Poe lay on the ground, Ben was unsure if he was alive or not. His main focus was Y/N who was staring at him.
"You know that there is only thing you can do, so just do it." She taunted as she walked towards Ben slowly.
"Don't make me please." Ben pleaded.
"It's the only choice you have, you have to protect the light." She said still taunting but there was almost a pleading tone in her voice.
Ben quickly pulled her in for kiss turning on his lightsaber and running it through her chest.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Ben sobbed as he cradled her body.
"See, do you see what we could become, all you have to do is join me!" Y/N insisted.
Ben looked at Y/N up and down once more before before he pulled her in for a long kiss.
Y/N smiled as Ben kissed her as she wrapped her legs around his waist so he was holding her off the ground.
Poe lay gritting his teeth as he watched the screen before him. Ben had betrayed him, again.
Suddenly General Phasma came into the room with two men who were handcuffed.
"Ma'am," She started causing Y/N to break the kiss and turn to look at her. "The men you requested."
"Ah, yes!" Y/N said as she hopped out of Ben's arms. "Perfect. And did you bring what I asked for."
Phasma nodded as she threw Y/N the lightsaber.
"Here, this is for you." Y/N said as she handed Ben his crossguard lightsaber. "I had one specially made for me." She said as she got the lightsaber out from her belt. It was all black, and thinner than Ben's. "Bring them here, and then take my brother to a holding cell." Y/N instructed.
"What no! Ben!" Poe screamed as Phasma started towards him.
"Don't fight her Dameron or she will hurt you." Ben said as he turned back to Y/N smiling.
"No!"
"These two were caught selling weapons to both the First Order and the Resistance, as Supreme Leader I declare that your punishment is death." Y/N said and Poe watched as both Y/N and Ben lit their sabers and sliced the two men in half.
Y/N and Ben spent the entire day together. Ben trailing after Y/N wherever she went Later that evening Ben and Y/N had made their way back to their room.
"Y/N," Ben started when they entered the room. Y/N quickly threw him back into the wall pinning his hands above his head.
"You have been very bad Master Ren." Y/N growled as she charged at him slamming her lips onto his, ripping his shirt open
******
When Ben was certain Y/N was asleep he made his way out of the room, down to the holding cells. Before he even reached the door he could hear Poe screaming.
"You fucking bastard! I believed in you!" He could heard Poe screaming and as the door opened and Poe saw Ben standing there once more he quickly charged at him.
"Stop." Ben said freezing Poe in his tracks. "I know you are angry, I know you think I betrayed you. But I didn't I just had to make Y/N believe that I would stand with her. She has to think I'm on her side, it's the only way..." Ben started his voice cracking and when it cracked his hold on Poe broke.
Poe just looked at Ben and instantly he believed him. He knew he shouldn't, he knew that Ben was a master of deception and could easily just be lying to him, and while every part of Poe's being told him not to believe the dark haired man before him, he also saw the young boy he once knew, the one who was scared and afraid, and broken.
"You didn't see the same vision as she did, did you?" Poe asked causing Ben to let out almost a whimper. "What did you see Ben?"
"I..." Ben started looking at the floor. "I kill her."
"You what!" Poe exclaimed.
"She told me it was the only way, it was almost like she was begging me to." Ben said wiping his face before any tears could fall.
"It's not certain that it will happen is it." Poe begged. "She had a different vision, that means that the visions don't come true."
"I had a vision, with Rey, Y/N wasn't there." Ben said his voice cracking. "I don't know what to do."
Poe looked at Ben and fear set in. The great Kylo Ren was terrified of Y/N.
"She's so far lost, but I can't give up on her, but I thought bringing you here would remind her..." Ben said still unable to look at Poe. "But she's not the same, the power is all she can see. When she looked at me or when she looked at you, she didn't look at us like she loved us, she looked at us like we were her property."
"I know." Poe said running through thoughts in his mind of what they could do. But the only solution that he could think about was when solution he could never bring himself to say.
"She says she is just trying to protect us, but she is using protection as an excuse to destroy and kill anyone she finds a threat." Ben continued.
"What about General Leia, she has always been like a mother to Y/N and I, she could talk some sense into her."
"How do you plan we have them meet. Y/N thinks that my mother is dead, and I would like to keep it that way, how she hasn't figured out that she's alive I don't know. But we cannot have them meet. If we bring Y/N to the Resistance she will kill everyone. If we bring my mother here, not even Y/N will be able to stop the stormtroopers from killing her." Ben snapped finally looking up at Poe the two men locking eyes.
The minute Poe looked into Ben's eyes, he knew what they had to do.
"Fuck," Poe gasped as he sat down on the side of the metal bench running his hands through his hair.
"What?"
"We only have one option Ben." Poe broke.
"No," Ben said.
"You just spend the last few minutes talking about how she can't be saved. You have been trying to convince yourself to do it haven't you?" Poe asked looking up at Ben but Ben quickly looked down at the floor.
"I want there to be another way I want to be able to save her..." Ben started crying.
"But there isn't another way. My entire life I have spent protecting my sister, but Ben, that's not my sister anymore that's not Y/N."
"I know." Ben said as he leaned up against the wall.
"I would love to say that we have another choice and that maybe she will get better, but there are thousands if not millions of people's lives at stakes Ben." Poe said tears falling down his face. "Being the good guy means understanding that your happiness is not the most important thing."
"If she would have never tried to save me, none of this would have happened." Ben sobbed.
"Ben, I tried to talk her out of it, everyone tried to talk her out of it. She wasn't going to give up. She loved you Ben, she wouldn't trade saving you for anything. But you can't let her sacrifice go to waste. You have to stay good."
"I'm giving up on her, how can I claim to be good."
"You aren't giving up, Ben," Poe said his words almost turning into sobs. "You are letting her go, we both are."
The two men took a moment to just let each other cry. Before Poe stood up wiping his face.
"If you can't, I..." Poe started.
"No, I will do it, I have to be the one to do it, I'm the cause of all of this."
"Ben," Poe started.
"Let's go." Ben started as both he and Poe made their way out into the hall.
"How are you planning on doing this?" Poe whispered as they made there way past stormtroopers.
"There is only one time that we are even going to be able to do it, and that's now." Ben insisted as he turned to a stormtrooper. "Give me your blaster." He commanded and the trooper did as he was told.
"You mean you are going to kill her in her sleep!" Poe exclaimed causing Ben to winc.
"We don't have another choice. She is far too powerful when she is awake." Ben could barely believe the words that were coming out of his mouth. He felt so numb. He couldn't believe that he was going to kill Y/N, the woman that he would have destroyed an entire universe for. Now he was going to kill her in her sleep just as Luke had tried to do to him so many years ago. His rage towards Luke welled up inside him again.
"Why do we need a blaster." Poe asked snapping Ben out of his thoughts.
"If I fail, you have to be the one to..." Ben started.
"Yeah, I got it." Poe said as he grabbed the blaster from Ben's hands. "Ben, what do we do... after."
"I'll figure that out later." Ben said trying to mentally prepare himself. However all he could think of was Y/N before. Her smile, her laugh, how her kiss tasted, how it felt to hold her, and how she said his name.
As they stopped in front of the door to the room, Ben looked at Poe.
"I'm sorry. I don't think there are ever going to be enough words to express how sorry I am."
Poe just nodded not saying a word as the two men made their way into the room. The minute they were in, Ben threw out his hand expecting his crossguard saber, however his old jedi saber flew instead.
"Of course." Ben thought as he gulped gripping the hilt tightly.
He looked over at the girl he loved lying asleep and he wanted nothing more than to climb back into bed with her and hope that when he woke up that all of this would have been a dream, and life would be back to normal. But he remembered the vision.
"You have to protect the light." He could heard Y/N's voice say.
"God, I love you so much." Ben thought as he walked over to her side of the bed. "I'm so sorry I couldn't save you." He said as he lit the saber.
Ben prepared to strike but he stopped. He could stop playing her words over in his head.
"I love you," She said.
Ben closed his eyes and when he opened his eyes he found Y/N staring back at him with the same hurt and betrayal he had looked at Luke with.
"Y/N..." Ben started when she suddenly threw him back into the wall.
"How could you! After what Luke did!" She screamed as she lifted him up choking him. "After everything I have done for you!"
"Y/N stop!" Ben tried to choke out.
Suddenly the sound of a blaster went off behind Y/N and she quickly turned around stopping the beam right before it hit her.
"Poe," She screamed. "You are in on this too."
"Y/N you aren't you, General Leia is still alive, you have to stop your attack on the..." Poe started when Y/N threw him back into the wall.
"Supreme Leader," Phasma started as she burst into the room. "I..." She looked around the room taking in the scene before her. "Am I interrupting something?"
"No, what is going on?" Y/N asked as she threw Ben to the floor.
"The girl, the one FN-2187, rescued from Jakku..."
"Rey?" Poe asked but Y/N threw him back again.
"What about her." Y/N growled.
"She is on the ship."
"What!" All three exclaimed.
"She flew to the ship, she is being held by some of the men in the loading dock." Phasma continued.
Y/N started laughing causing Ben, Poe, and Phasma to look at her concerned.
"This is perfect!" She exclaimed as she brought Ben and Poe to their feet. "You're little Force friend is here Benjamin." She taunted. "Nice work General Phasma, please take her to the throne room, I'll be waiting for her there."
Phasma nodded quickly leaving the room.
"Well this is going to be fun." Y/N laughed again as she made her way towards the throne room dragging Poe and Ben behind her.
