*Finn POV*
"Alright now everyone, we have a special visitor coming. She will be...taking over for Kylo Ren. She should be here shortly, so everyone must be at there very best behavior."

General Hux had called an emergency meeting due to a visitor. He wouldn't tell anyone who she was or why they hadn't informed us if there would be a replacement. He hadn't even told Phasma.

"Come Admiral Finn." Phasma said, as we followed General Hux down the halls.

"Now as for the both of you, you will be in charge of making sure that our visitor has a perfect stay." He said. "She should be here shortly. And don't mess this up." He growled and with that he was gone.

We stood at attention as the bottom hatch opened to reveal a woman in a black robe, her face covered by a dark hood. Her yellow eyes scanned the crowd until her eyes landed on me. A smile creeped up her face as she made a beeline towards me. I looked at Phasma, but she stood and stared straight ahead. The woman stopped right in front of me.

"FN-2187. A pleasure to see you again." She said.

Her voice sounded very familiar, but I couldn't place it.

"My apologies, but who are you?" I asked.

The woman laughed and pulled her hood off. Rey?

"Rey?!" I exclaimed.

She laughed again. She sounded so...different.

"You sound so surprised to see me. I told you that I would be coming back."

"Rey your..."

"We'll talk later. Where's Poe?" She asked Phasma.

"He's now with TIE Fighter pilots. You can find him there." She sneered.

"Take me to him then." She said.

*Poe POV*
I sat as General Hux lectured us about the special visitor. Who gave a fuck? I sure didn't.

"She'll be here in..."

"Thank you, but introductions are not needed."

A woman in a dark cloak appeared in the doorway.

"Ahhh, and here she is." General Hux said.

The woman walked through the room regally. She pulled her hood off her head. Rey.

"Please everyone, this is Darth Niksu." General Hux announced.

Darth Niksu? With the twitch of a finger I was pulled closer to Rey.

"Hey!"

"Oh Poe, don't be surprised. I told you that I was coming before didn't I." She whispered. For the first time I noticed her eyes. They were...yellow.

I cowered down as she fixated me with her eyes. She broke her stare to look at General Hux.

"I need Poe and Finn. Your guards will not be needed."

General Hux looked like he was about say something but he closed his mouth. This seemed to satisfy Rey. As she turned around. I followed her reluctantly.

"I sense your fear Poe. There's nothing to be afraid of." She said reading my mind.

"I'm not afraid, I'm worried. Are you okay. Why is the General calling you Darth Niksu?"

"I'll explain when we find Finn." She said.

I didn't say anything until we turned the corner where Captain Phasma stood. A scowl spread across my face.

"Where's Finn?" Rey demanded.

"In his quarters. You'll have to wait." Phasma growled.

A wave of darkness spread across Rey's face as her eyes started getting brighter until they looked like small planets. Her hand raised and a shock of lightning shot out from her finger tips. Phasma was blown back and she got the wall with a slam.

"Listen here bucket head!" Rey shouted. "This is my ship now! You listen to me! Now go get Finn or feel my wrath!"

Phasma slowly stood and staggered the hall. A small grin creeped up Rey's face as she watched Phasma leave. She turned around to me smiling widely.

"That was fun." She said.

I stepped back. Rey's smile disappeared and was replaced with pure concern.

"What's wrong?"

I shook my head.

"N-nothing, just, you know...don't want to step into cross-fire."

This answer seemed to satisfy her for her smile returned to her face. I didn't know what Kylo Ren had done to her, but she was different in a very scary way.

*Darth Niksu POV*
I'm telling you. Kill them now. Poe being afraid of you, he'll only get in your way.

Shut up. I know what I'm doing.

"Rey!"

I looked up and saw Finn storming towards me. I put on the best fake smile I had.

"Finn! So glad you could make it. Poe and I were waiting." I said cheerily.

Finn's eyes flitted towards Poe and his eyes softened.

Kill them now!

I told you I know what I'm doing!

"Rey, what are you doing here? Really?" Finn asked.

I put on a hurt face.

"I can't come to save you? God only knows the both of you aren't smart enough to get out of here without pulling a Romeo and Juliet." I said.

"Rey...you said you wouldn't go dark." Finn said.

"I did this for you guys. Don't you appreciate me?" I said taking a step towards them.

Poe stepped up in front of Poe defensively. I should've known. How could I just ignore a dream? They could never appreciate me.

"Fine. Be that way." I growled. I unsheathed my light saber.

"Rey, this isn't you." Poe said.

"It's not Rey anymore. It's Niksu. Darth Niksu." I said.

I pulled Poe towards me so his nose was touching mine.

"Rey no!"

I ignored Finn and turned on my light saber.

Good. Now strike him down. Make him pay.

Before I could do anything I was pushed against the wall. I looked up from my sprawled state as Finn charged towards me.

"You shouldn't have done that." I growled.

I electrocuted him back. I turned my light saber back on.

That's right! Show them who's in charge!

"If you were my real friends, you would appreciate me!" I said sending another bolt of lightning from my finger tips.

Kill them!

"I could have helped you! But you decided that I could no longer be your friend!"

Finn tried to get up only to be blown back again. Poe scooted towards Finn. I towered over them as they looked up at me frightened.

"This could have been easier, but I gues you both prefer to die." I sneered. Then a searing pain came to my shoulder. I fell in defeat. My vision blurred as I heard the padding of feet.

"Come with me, both of you." I heard a voice say.

Then everything went black.
