Ben rushed and picked Saya up into his arms. Blood was spreading over her clothes where she was shot. She needed medical attention immediately or she would die. A noise from behind him jolted his attention back to the scavenger and traitor.
He flashed around and saw the two of them still standing in front of the exit to the outside.
Ben had never felt more rage in his life than he did in that moment. They did this. Saya was dying because of them.
With lighting speed, Ben flung Saya over his shoulder and charged forward. He was going to make them pay for what they did. But Saya needed medical attention. He couldn't lose her.
The moment he turned a corner, he saw a group of Stormtroopers scrambling to leave the area.
"YOU!" he screamed. All the Stormtroopers froze and hesitantly turned to him. He ran forward and thrust Saya into the arms of the first one he reached.
"Get her to the medical staff, NOW! IF SHE DIES, YOU DIE!"
They didn't hesitate. They all rushed out of view, Saya in the arms of one of them.
Ben desperately wanted to follow, to make sure she would be alright. But the Supreme Leader gave him orders. Bring the scavenger to him. Killing the traitor FN-2187 would be a bonus for Ben.
He rushed through the trees, knowing the exact spot where he could cut them off.
After a few minutes of running, he finally reached the spot and ignited his lightsaber. A moment later, the scavenger and FN-2187 emerged from the trees.
Ben glared at them.
"Were not done yet!"
The scavenger glared at him "You're a monster!"
"It's just us now. Han Solo can't save you!"
In a flash, he saw the scavenger reach for her blaster. Too slow. With the flick of his hand, he used his power and she was rushed back and slammed into a tree.
"REY!" FN-2187 screamed, and rushed over to her. She wasn't dead. Ben needed her alive.
However, he did not need FN-2187
Ben watched as he rushed over to the girl, desperately seeing if she was alive.
"TRAITOR!!!" Ben screamed.
Ben watched in amusement as FN-2187 pulled out a lightsaber and ignited it. There was no possible way he would ever have the power to defeat him.
Then he recognized it. The color. The style of the handle. It was Luke Skywalker's old blade. The blade that once belonged to Anakin Skywalker, his grandfather.
"That lightsaber! It belongs to me!"
"COME AND GET IT!"
They charged at each other and the fight began. Within a few swings at each other, Ben knew FN-2187 had no power of the force.
Within a few minutes, Ben finally caught him off guard. FN-2187 lost his grip on the saber and it went sailing through the air and into the snow. Another swipe to his back, and the traitor fell into the snow.
Fine. He can bleed to death in the cold. Ben turned to the old lightsaber sticking out of the snow and extended his hand, expecting it to quickly fly into his grip.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the saber wouldn't budge. He tried harder. Nothing.
With no warning, the saber suddenly flew through the air, right past him and into the grip of the scavenger.
He stared at the scavenger while she also stared at the saber in disbelief. She truly had a great connection with the force.
The scavenger ignited the lightsaber and he ignited his own. Even with her strength with the force, she would still be no match for him.
She charged and the battle began again. He saw so many rookie swings and moves. She was untrained and all she had was her luck.
Around them the planet continued to shake and crack. The base was set to implode. He needed to be quick. He finally had her trapped between him and a ledge that had opened into the base. She was sweating and struggling to hold him back.
He would give her one chance before he had no choice but to finish this himself.
"You need a teacher! I can show you the ways of the force!"
She blinked and looked at him, as if finally coming to a realization.
She closed her eyes and he could feel her channeling her own connection. He gritted his teeth. She wanted to fight.
Her eyes snapped back open and she used all her strength to push him back. Surprised, Ben jumped back slightly and began to deflect her swings. He could feel the raw power she had.
But Ben had enough. He wanted to get this over with. He needed to get the girl to Snoke then get back to Saya.
The battle continued through the trees and the scavenger now easily deflected his attacks, his anger now increasing.
Finally, with one lucky swing, she hit him. He felt the slash of the lightsaber in his arm. He dropped to his knees while the scavenger took a few steps back, observing him. Anger seared through him. For a moment, he didn't care about Snoke's orders.
He wanted her dead.
He rose and charged at her, ready to end this. But again, she got the upper hand. With a final swing and a swift kick to his chest, he was thrown back into the snow with a large cut on his face.
He glared up at the scavenger as she looked down at him. He swore he could almost see pity in her eyes, and it filled him with more anger.
Before he could decide his next course of action, the ground opened up and separated him and the girl. She quickly ran through the woods as he slowly rose from the snow.
She would pay. The scavenger would pay for everything. But he had to leave. The base had to be evacuated.
And he had to get to Saya.
God help the resistance if he loses her.
