The Force Between Us // Kylo Ren

Chapter VI

I WAKE UP TO A POUNDING in my head as I sit up in my destroyed X-wing. I place my hand to my forehead trying to rub out the pain. As I gather my senses my first thought is that I am not dead. But as my vision starts to clear I realize that it isn't worth celebrating yet because the battle between the Resistance and the First Order is still going on.

    I open the latch that seals my fighter and I am hit with the noise of struggling people. I step out of my fighter swaying back and forth I shake my head to take away some of the haze in my mind. When I am finally fully functioning I grab a blaster and tuck it in my waistband. I then grab my extra one and load it.
     I start to walk away from my ship and look at the wreckage. I soon realize that my fighter landed in a near by bog which probably saved me due to the soft ground. I look at my surrounds and get my bearings and then race in the direction of the capital. My fighter didn't crash far from the capital but I still had to run through a forest and when I reach the tree line I stop and crouch in a bush. I look around to see what is happening. As I look at the city I soon realize that Kashyyyk is a very poor planet. Even though we are in the capital it still has mud and clay houses. The planet it's self is very strange. It has many different biomes all next to each other, a desert, forest, bog, and a large ocean. The capital however is set up in the desert area. And as the wind picks up it blows sand all over the place making it hard to see. Though it is hard to see through the sand blowing around there is one thing that is easy to see that make my blood boil. The dark ship I had tried so hard to take down has landed. As the cargo bay door opens I feel that strange pull once more. But the pull is stopped when I feel something behind me. I quick grab my blaster wiping it around shooting a a storm trooper that was sneaking up on me. Not only am I good at flying but I am extremely good at combat. So with my hiding spot discovered I quickly start shooting anything that has a white outfit on. I then clear a path as I make my way towards the dark ship. Storm troopers come at me at all different angles but I am prepared. I keep light on my feet as a trooper charges at me I quickly do a front flip over him and shoot him in the back and once he falls down I shoot another that was right I front of him. Sooner or later I grab both of my guns as the wave of trooper increase. Because of how many troopers are attacking me I am force to stay in one place killing my advances towards the ship. Because I am nimble I am able to dodge and attack my opponents easily and in no time dozens of storm troopers lay dead creating a ring around me. The First Order then realizes a threat so the more higher ranked storm troopers come fight me. But instead of blasters they carry these rod with electricity coming out from either end. I smile at the competition think this is only getting started. I quick run to a near by house grabbing a post and using it the same way the storm troopers use theirs.
   I kill the higher ranked storm troopers with the same ease as the ones with lasers. I soon begin to realize how weary I begin to feel. I quickly look for an opening and run towards the forest in hopes to catch a break. Once I reach the tree line I collapse. While fighting I didn't realize how weak my legs felt and how hot I was. Though the fight is still going on and I want to join in again, I can't seem to catch my breath so I am forced to lay there gasping for air as I regain strength.
      When I finally find the strength to stand up I reload my blasters. I take a breath and look up to the sky to see how the X-wings are doing and that is when I see a horrifying sight. I see a fighter falling to the ground at increasing speeds. Normally this wouldn't affect me that much but the fighter that I see falling contains someone special to me. "Poe!" I yell as I race to the cite where I know the fight will make impact and kill him. I look up to the sky not caring how dangerously close the fighter comes from hitting me.
   All the fear, anger, and confusion starts to build up in me and I feel something dark that sparks in me. I start to feed the flame. But then something else hits me. It makes me stop everything I am doing a close my eyes. I feel a small pull like a lifesaver pull me to my rescue as hope and light fills my heart and my body. When I open my eyes a new determination arises as I stare at the fighter falling down at me. I take a deep breath and raise my hands towards the plane. The weight instantly hits me making me lose balance but I quickly gain it back again hold a stance. Sweat starts dripping down my face but as I look at the plane I see it's dissent slowing down. This encourage me even more as I fight to win against the laws of gravity. I close my eyes hoping for more strength. I use all my will power and all my strength to a point where I start to scream in the efforts to stop the fighter from crashing.
     I feel as if my legs are about to give out and my brain is about to explode when I feel the pressure of the fighter ease a bit. When I open my eyes again I look up to see the nose of the plane inches away from my face and through the glass I see a scared yet shocked Poe. I start to laugh in joy but then my feet give out and I collapse and the fighter slowly tills backwards luckily landing away from where I lay. I stay there in a crumpled position exhausted and surprised on what I just did when I hear Poe's fighter open and I see his face hovering over mine. He begins to worry and panic as he try's to form words but nothing comes out. I start to reach up to his face when I feel a dark pull nearing. I try to stand up but I am to weak and when I try to warn Poe nothing comes out of my mouth. I try to tell him through my eyes but he doesn't understand that he needs to run until it is too late. When I feel the dark presences close enough to see I painfully turn my head. Though I am exhausted to the point where I can't move the sight that lays before me causes me to jump up scrambling to my feet in fear. Poe looks up too and see what or more like who I am looking at. 
   "Kylo Ren." Poe breaths in holding in a whimper of terror. I feel Poe reach for me and when we grasp each other I feel his arm ripped away from me as he goes flying and hits his fighter falling to the ground not moving. I look up tears already forming in my eyes terrified for my life. In a weak effort of protecting myself I grab my blasters and start desperately shooting them at Kylo but he unsheathed his light saber and starts defecting them easily and advances towards me. As I feel that all hope is lost I fire off one more shot and Kylo holds out his hand to make the laser freeze in mid air and at the same time my body freezes. I feel as if I am paralyzed unable to move under the force that he is radiating. Fear rises up through me as I begin to shake. Kylo passes the frozen bolt and once clear of the shot he frees it as it hit an unlucky storm trooper that just happened to run into its path. The creature that calls himself Kylo wears all black contrasting the all white that I am wearing. He wears a black cape that billows behind him and wears a metal mask that is black and silver. A hood covers the top of his mask. As he nears me I try to stop crying in hopes of looking braver then I feel. Then when he is close enough to touch me he stops starring at me. I feel something move behind me and I recognize it as Poe I silently pray for him to stay still. As the thought crosses my mind Kylo shifts his gaze from me to Poe and realizes he is no threat. He then turns his attention back to me and holds a cold stare. I shrink under his gaze but unable to move frozen in time.
   "Hello." A scratchy metallic sounding voice says from the mask. After Kylo says this word Poe jumps up with rage and charges at Kylo with a broken price of his ship. The Poe is suddenly stopped and begins to choke. I watch as Poe is choking and then move my eyes to Kylo and realize that he is doing this. I then start to panic. This is just like my dream Poe is going to die! I start to panic and I watch in fear as I stare at Poe turning a deathly purple unable to help him. I feel useless and I know any efforts to struggle against the hold Kylo has on me would be useless too. But I muster any strength I have left and begin to violently move. Kylo senses this change and darts his glare towards me and he watches me with an intriguing stare. Almost as if he is enjoying me struggling. I don't pay attention to him as I stare at Poe slowing dying. As I struggle more against the vice grip I feel something loosen as I am able to move my mouth. I yell at Kylo, "Stop! Please don't hurt him!"
     "Oh I am not hurting him I am hurting you." Kylo replys with a menacing voice as he squeezes Poe's lungs tighter.
   "Please", I cry out in desperation, " I will do anything just stop." When Kylo doesn't stop I cry out once more. "If you won't stop killing him kill me instead." With that comment Kylo looks at me and Poe is instantly let go of the choke and gasps for air sucking in as much as he can get.
  "You would trade your life for him." Kylo says discussed in my choice.
   "Yes I would." I say starring at Kylo straight in his eyes. The hold on me finally let's go as I am am able to relax. However Kylo begins to circle me like a predator circling his prey and it makes me uncomfortable.
   "I feel something with in you. Something dark but yet you radiate light in every aspect." He says slowly. "And back then I saw you stop that fighter from crashing a true talent that only few can posses. Especially for a rebel scum like you." He spats. He then stops walking and stands in front of me starring for a while and then quickly says, "Fine by taking his place I will take you as my prisoner and you will never see the faces of your rebel friends ever again."
      "No you can't do this Roe don't do it let me die!" Poe yells.
  I turn to him and say. "Sorry." And just like that Kylo comes behind me and waves his hand. My body suddenly grows weary as I sink in to a deep slumber and black out falling into the arms of the most feared man in the galaxy. 

Poe's POV

I stand there useless as I watch that demon take the only light in my life away from me. I didn't care that she has this strange talent and I never got the chance to say thank you for saving me. I stand there trying to not cry but in the end I give up falling to the ground as I watch the First Order and my only love vanishing from view. With one last oath I say to who ever is listening, "I will never give up on trying to find a way to bring  my ray of light from the darkness."

So very intense but don't worry it only gets better from here. I am thinking about adding my POVs just because it makes it more interesting.
