Kylo Ren's Firstmate

/Chapter 1\

Kylo Ren sat in his room, medical droids speeding around him. He was angry. He was seething. And if he could move properly, his room would have been destroyed at this point. "How could have she have beaten me? ME? I am by far more powerful than she is," he mumbled to himself. Darth Vader would be disappointed in him. He couldn't even kill a jedi girl.

Hux strolled in, obviously not happy. "Snoke is not pleased with you." He looked down at Ren seriously, only to be met with a glare of pure darkness.

"You think I DON'T ALREADY KNOW THAT?" He roared, knocking a droid away from his chest. He summoned his lightsaber to his hand as he sat up and stalked to Hux. With a small smirk, the deathly blade roared to life, dangerously close to Hux's throat. "Tell me news I don't already know, fool."

Hux seemed a tad unimpressed. "You might be getting a visitor in a few hours. Someone very important." Kylo was upset still about Rey getting away. He didn't want a visitor. He huffed and sheathed the blade. "Might want to get dressed," he said stiffly before walking out.

Ren rolled his eyes as the door slid closed behind Hux. "I've always hated that man," he mumbled to himself before looking at a droid. "Well? What are you waiting for?"

Hux leaned on a nearby hallway, touching his heart gently. Something about Ren always did this to him. Every time. And it needed to stop as soon as possible, because it was honestly getting really tedious. He stood up straight as Ren breezed pat him in his heavy black outfit. His cloak flew out behind him, fluttering dramatically. Ren lifted the helmet over his head and sealed it with a click.

"Hux," he said in his altered voice, "Prepare the loading dock for the guest. I'm curious to see who was sent this time around." With a nod, Hux was gone. Ren headed for Snoke's area, nervous for confronting him. Just before turning down the hallway, he heard the announcement for the arrival of a First Order ship.

With a deep sigh, he turned and stalked to the loading deck, stormtroopers quickly moving out of his way. Lines of them were in the area, ready to greet the mystery guest. Hux and Phasma stood directly in front of the ship, waiting for the hatch to lower. Ren stood in front of them, crossing his arms behind his back. It was all silent for a breif moment before the familiar hiss of the hatch sounded.

As it lowered, Ren noticed a pair of black shiny boots at the top. They were smaller than a man's, so it was highly possible this was one of his guards. But that's when he saw the other boots surrounding this pair. All noticeably male. Confusion slapped him in the back of the head.

The feet began to move down the ramp. And at the head was a girl, about five foot nine. She wore a sinister black cloak that hid her face completely. It floated behind her, revealing a toned stomach. The girl wore tight black leather pants with a wide silver belt. Attached to her leg was a holster carrying a lightsaber. She had on a short black top with silver bands decorating it. A sense of unease came over Ren as she approached him. She reached his chin as she got close. Her gaze was focused downward. "I am Kylo Ren. Commander of the First Order."

Her gaze came up to him. Her eyes were a bright yellow. "Interesting. You wear a mask." She slowly brought the dark hood back to reveal smoothly tanned skin and dark brown hair. In that moment he was grateful for the helmet. His jaw had dropped for a second.

"Who were you sent by?" He said regaining his composure. "And why did they send me a little girl instead of a Sith lord?" Hux smirked at the girl, coldly. Ren looked around, waiting for the actual threat to come out of the ship. Then an evil chuckle escaped the girl's lips.

"You don't think I'm a sith lord?" She whispered glaring up at him. "For shame, Kylo Ren. I thought you would be smarter than that." She turned around, her twisted hair was in an elegant bun on her head. Her eyes narrowed as she began walking down the line of stormtroopers. Suddenly her hand flew up and one of them began to float, gradually going up in the air. He started to scream, and she merely shrugged it off. She set him back down calmly. The stormtroopers kept their eyes front as she popped her knuckles. With a grand wave of both of her hands, all of the soldiers went flying into the walls. She shook her hands and they stayed frozen in place.
"Now do you believe me, Kylo Ren?" She said in a dark voice as she turned around. Her eyes were more yellow than ever, as they glowed with power. He was shocked to say the least. Even Hux was silent. "Don't question me again."
"Of course not," Ren mumbled. "Snoke is this way. I assume you would like to see him." She gave me a brief nod before putting up her dark hood. She was mysterious. She was evil. She was everything Ren wanted to be.
With a flick of her slender hand, the stormtroopers tumbled off the walls and to the floor. "Are you coming?" She commanded in a steely tone. Hux straightened his jacket before following after her. Ren felt jealousy burn his lungs as he stalked after them, Phasma trailing behind them.
She was stalking through the halls and quickly approached the door. Kylo pushed the button, opening the steel doors with a hiss. Snoke's hologram shivered a bit as both of the powerful force wielders entered with the grace of cats. The girl stood before the tall hologram, her hood still covering her face. In the dim light, her yellow eyes appeared more orange. "Ahhh. Tai, you have arrived."
"Yes," She says looking up slightly at the figure. "And I'm ready for you to assign my new position." Snoke smirked coldly.
"I'm sure you are," he said. Kylo felt an ounce of panic in his chest as Snoke turned to him. "Commander Kylo Ren. Would you like to explain your most recent mistake?"
Kylo swallowed and bowed his head. "I allowed the Jedi to escape." Tai's eyes filled with greed, hoping her new position would be replacing Kylo Ren. His hands squeezed into fists as Snoke glared down at him. "But it will not happen again."
"Good. That's why I brought Tai here. She's going to ensure this never happens again," Snoke started looking between the two Sith. "Tai. You are now Kylo Ren's firstmate." She pulled off her hood and glared at the master.
"Excuse me? A firstmate? A step up from an apprentice?" She roared. "I am far more powerful than he!" She screamed a wicked howl, allowing it to echo through the cavernous room.
"Tai," Snoke said as the echo wore off, "Do not question my decisions. You are young. Younger than he is. And you must learn." Tai fumed but looked down at her boots.
"But, sir, I do not want her. She is useless to me," Kylo said in his distorted voice. She glared at him sullenly before looking back at her shoes.
"Not only does she have to learn from you, but I'm sure you can learn something from her. Now get out of my sight," the hologram said before fizzing out.
"Fantastic. Now I'm stuck with you," Ren hissed. Tai growled at him before storming out, her pitch black cape flying behind her.
