❝ Maybe through the power of persuasion, I can convince her to rule the galaxy with me.❞
(Story takes off after TFA)
The attack has commenced. The Resistance have nowhere to hide. Their fuel source is at a critical stage, meaning it is only a matter of hours before they're destroyed. Snoke is pleased with my work, but nothing beyond that. It's as if he deeply believed I weren't as powerful as my grandfather, often discrediting my efforts.
The only reason I commenced the attack on The Resistance fleet is because I know Rey isn't on the ship. Something in the tone of her voice when she asked about Luke Skywalker made me wonder whether she had seen him.
Bitterness courses through my veins, realising that if Rey spoke to Luke, she must know where he is. I must find out where Luke Skywalker is hiding and get rid of him — once and for all.
An idea comes to mind, gazing at the damage being done to The Resistance's fleet. They've begun fighting back with their guns, but nothing can outwin The Supremacy.
"Bring me the Jedi girl," I hiss, my eyes remaining on the window in front of me whilst maintaining the aggressive facade.
"Sir, I believe that's impossible. We don't know where she is and-" Hux stammers before I interrupt his speech. I turn around slowly to meet Hux's gaze, observing him as he gulps from fear.
"Go out there and look for her yourself!" I yell, slamming my fists against my thigh. "Just bring her to me," I growl, silencing General Hux.
"We will do what we can, sir," Hux gulps, exiting the room in a hurry.
Rey must tell me where Luke is. She must understand that unless I were to face him alone, the conflict within me will never cease to exist. Destroying Luke Skywalker is my only chance of survival.

Chewbacca has jumped to lightspeed, meaning that in a few minutes, we will be in the outer rim of the galaxy. Although I should be thrilled to participate in the war against The First Order, my thoughts remain focused on Leia's face of defeat. The hopelessness in her tone has sparked fear, as she believes that Kylo cannot be redeemed.
What worries me the most is the fact Luke Skywalker has turned his back on the Jedi. I was unable to tell Leia that his brother, the ever powerful Luke Skywalker, is now against his own kind.
R2-D2's loud chime disrupts my thoughts, sitting up from the couch where I was lying on. He strides into the room, greeting me with his friendly chime. I beam at him, petting the top of his head with a chuckle.
"Hey, Artoo. Have you been helping Chewy?" I ask, feeling somewhat comforted by the droid. R2 chimes, saying Chewy gets angry whenever someone's in the cockpit with him. I giggle at that, realising he's right. It's best not to annoy a Wookie. "Well, we're almost there.""
R2 answers excitedly, his choice of words making me chuckle. The reason I understand what R2 says is because of my past as a scavenger on Jakku. When your entire life depends on searching for droid parts, you must know the language.
R2 chimes again, but for a second, I think I may have heard him wrong.
"What did you say? Luke came to the Millenium Falcon?" I ask in disbelief.
"He came to say goodbye? D-Did he send me a message?" I stammer, feeling somewhat hopeful. Luke's pessimism completely destroyed me, but maybe he came to bring hope back to the galaxy.
R2 chimes again, shaking his head from side to side. Lowering my gaze, I hoped Luke had left me a message on the hologram. R2 continues to chime, his words making tears form in my eyes.
"Luke said that?" I beam, my eyes setting on the window in front of me. I wipe some happy tears from my eyes, the ship exiting lightspeed. Perhaps this war can still be won, even if Luke isn't here.
Gazing at the emptiness of space, my eyes widen once I see The Resistance fleet in the distance. A wave of excitement mixed with nerves washes over me, knowing that the time has come. Luke's words to R2-D2 resonate through my head as I gaze at the majestic fleet ahead, as if he were speaking to me right now.
The Force is strong in you, Rey. This fight is not over. Not for me, not for you.

Gazing at the destruction of The Resistance fleet, I can sense the darkness taking over me once again. It's as if the indestructible feeling of complete control over the galaxy had just become stronger. Soon, I will have Skywalker at my grasp.
In that instant, a beacon of light emerges a few thousand acres away from The Resistance fleet. I let out a gasp, realising it's the Millenium Falcon, who has just jumped out of lightspeed. I don't only see the garbage ship sweep into the picture, but I can sense Rey. I can sense her energy inside the ship, as if it were a string that connected the both of us.
Gulping at the thought of seeing Rey once again, I spin around in my heels to gaze at my crew of men working on the attack. Hux is gazing at the coordinates of the ship, his brows furrowed as he begins annotating the coordinates of the Millenium Falcon.
Walking over to him, my gaze sets on the glass grid with the coordinates. General Hux tenses as I stand by him, but his eyes remain fixed on the coordinates of the foreign ship.
"What is that?" I snap, pointing at the coordinates of the Millenium Falcon, causing Hux to flinch.
"I-I don't know, sir. I believe it's the Millenium Falcon. It used to be your father's," Hux stammers, adjusting his suit. He fears me, as he should.
"Approach the Millenium Falcon. NOW!" I boom at my men, storming towards the window with clenched fists. The rusting old ship resembles a scaled model of a larger ship, the size of it ridiculously small compared to The Resistance fleet. It's heading towards the fleet at a slow speed, mainly because of its old state.
Heading towards the Millennium Falcon at full speed, the only though on my mind is bringing Rey to the base, with the aim of finding Luke Skywalker once and for all.
