Rey's POV:
The sun is high up in the sky, brightly shining over our heads. They stand in front of us placed as a perfect phalange. Our army is not that organised, I must say. We look more like a sea of people, fighting for our own intentions, family, friends and children. In the back of my head I am slightly sorry for all those stormtroopers that were taken from their families as toddlers, just to be part of their army. They are forced to die and fight for them, for their master, like slaves. I stared hating Snoke even more. He is the most cruel creature in all the galaxies, smiling like an idiot at us. He is comfort there in his carriage carried by two four legged massive animals, looking at us like a king looks at his slaves. Maybe he intends to do such thing if he succeeds. My bloods started boiling like a lava in a volcano, waiting for the sign to erupt. Only...in a few moments I will be free to fight and battle them. We are waiting for the sign, his sign. He glanced at us one more time and started talking.
"Today, my followers, will be witnesses of the greatest war between the light and the dark. They will be witnesses of the greatest victory known to the First Order and the Sith. The fight our ancestor Darth Wader never succeed to make, because of his emotions that made him week and foolish, but i am no Darth Vader even less Anakin Skywalker, i am Snoke the ruler to be of all the stars after, I hope, this final war between the LIGHT AND THE DARK!" His voice shook the ground under us, I felt like a small earthquake happened. He definitely knows how to speak to his solders, he knows how to convince people to stay on his side. Ben and I were staring directly at him when he turned to us, evil grin on his pale lips. It made him seem even more menacing.
"Now I will speak to the other army. Tell me people, what are you exactly fighting for? Oh...yes...I believe family, friends, life...and so on. But do you think they will be devastated that you died protecting the few people, some of them royal? I will tell you the answer, they will. Money and freedom can't change someone's long lost life. That won't make them able to succeed happily with their life. You will not see your children grow, no, the last thing you will see is war, blood,dead bodies and lost soles..." His words made cold sweat in my body, what is he playing at? No,no way!!! "But,dear people, non of that will happen if there is no war at all. You will all survive and return to your friends and family. Come to my side and you will see peace. You will be secure that nothing bad will happen, and you will be given a chance to succeed even more. Your children will not be hungry or poor,no, they will become strong men and women, with nice future. Only darkness can help you achieve greatness, and every men deserves to have that opportunity, to become great!...Come, the dark side is calling to you, your better future is calling to you!" I glanced at the people behind me. They were still in there places, not moved an inch. My heart instantly filled with warmth and respect for their decision to stay with us. I know they have a battle inside them, the darkness is tempting, always was. There in front of us now stood Ben,his face firm and collected. He started walking in front of the first raw, ready to speak.
"Don't let him poison your thoughts, don't let him enchant your mind. He is promising you something you will never live to see if you step on his side. Darkness can promise you greatness, but with a cost. You will destroy innocent lives to build yours, to build your position in the sky, a position always under his. You will never be his equal, he will always see you from up high. You will make his dirty jobs, get a name in the galaxy and a promotion, but when you step on a land, people will run from you, hate you and curse you. Suddenly you will feel alone. Loneliness is men's greatest distraction, from inside, from the place it hurts the most, the heart. Today, lots of people will lose their lives, but be forever celebrated and cheered, their names will be written in history for the good. Everyone today will achieve greatness, the true greatness for men's kind. So stay with me and fight for all of us, for all the worlds, and I promise you there won't be a child that will see the ultimate darkness again, nor the ultimate light, the harmony is between. My friends, I wish you luck and let this day be remembered forever!!! For peace,for the resistance!" His voice erupted even louder, sending more courage to our soles and bodies. He surely has a royal blood inside him, he is born to be a great ruler, a smart one, too. All of our people cheered his speech with their lightsabers and blasters risen in the air. Ben smiled at the sight and once again placed himself next to me. He looked into my eyes, his black ones sparkling at the sun. "Are you ready?" He asked silently, his voice deeper than usual. I smiled and signed, there is no need of words now. Snoke greeted his teeth with anger and stood up on his vehicle. He rose his hand and his army placed in fighting position. He signed once again, this time to attack. Without a word they obeyed, and started running furiously towards us. Ben rose his hand and gave a similar sign. We waited patiently till they arrived. All of them started fighting every single one of us, some of them fighting few people at the same time. Instantly I found myself in the middle of terror, painful cries and death. I lost sight of Ben, so I just continued fighting everyone that came next to me. Some of them took me more time to defeat than the others. One cut me with his blaster. My skin started burning, and I felt my left arm going numb. I tried to ignore the pain and continue going on. After a while I spotted Snoke, still sitting comfortably in his carriage. Such a coward, he let's the others fight for him. I took a deep breath and started running towards him. My legs felt like noodles, but I continued. I used the force to cover the pain and concentrated my mind only at the target. Few stormtroopers came into my way, but I defeated them easily, it was time for the bigger men. He noticed me approaching and stood up, shouting at someone. I didn't hear what he said, my senses don't work the best. I arrived at his spot and shoot a laser beam at him. He shielded himself. He turned his lightsaber on and smiled. I knew someone was behind me and I instantly turned, killing the solder. Snoke went wild and jumped out of the carriage to fight me face in face. This is going to be interesting...
