Ben's POV-
I stand in front of the entirety of the First Order.
"I Ben Solo am your new Supreme Leader. And as a organization we are joining together with the Grey Order movement to bring balance to the universe finally, after years to many spent fighting about our differences."
There's silence.
"Death will now be kept at a minimum, and most crimes will be penalized with jail time.  If any of you disagree with the way this order is headed you may experience our new cells for yourself.
That is all, you may return to your ships and head back to your posts. Commanders in the main ship, prepare for takeoff, destination: The main Rebel base."
I step down from the stage and Rey comes and greets me with a hug.
"You did so good up there! Now it's time for my part in our plan."
I rub her back.
"Rey my mom is going to agree. You don't need to worry."
"Let's hope so." She says with a weak smile, and we head back to the ship.

Rey's POV-
We zoom up from light speed right in front of the planet D'Qar which was where the base was. Me and Ben get into a TIE fighter and zip down towards the surface. We are coming up on the base when they start to attack us.
"Damn!" Ben yells. "I knew they would do this! Do they not care that we are broadcasting the peace signal?! Damn!" He yells again as we swerve away from a series of shots.
And then everything is in flames. We've been hit. We're falling.
I try to talk but my mouth won't open because of the pressure.
I'm going to die without telling Ben I loved him one last time.

Leia's POV-
Poe speaks into my headset.
"I got the Bastards! Their going down! Sorry not sorry assholes!" He shouts.
"Poe! Language!" I say. But I'm smiling. Another victory against the First Order.
It feels good to win.

Finn's POV-
I'm waiting for one of my best friends Poe to come back from shooting down as strange TIE fighter that came very close to us broadcasting the peace signal but with their guns armed.
Everyone was quick to judge that it was a trick, and now whoever was in it is dead.
But something doesn't feel right.

Rey's POV-
My eyes flicker open and flames dance I front of my eyes.
Ben is lying crumpled next to me, his head all bloody, his cape on fire. I sit up and realize I have a broken leg. But I ignore the pain and stand up on my good leg and drag Ben out and away from the wreckage into the bases battlefield. I fall over from the pain in my leg just as the rest of the ship explodes. I'm lucky I woke up then so I cloud save us.
I'm weak. I want to get to the base,
But... My... Eyes..... Are.... So.... Heavy...

Finn's POV-
No. Somethings really not right about this.
As Poe lands his ship i climb in and yell at him,
"We need to check the wreckage for survivors! There's something not right about that ship!"
"I can guarantee that there were no survivors after my display of bad-assery." He laughs.
"Just fly!" I scream.
Something isn't right and it's getting worse by the moment.

As we fly over the wreckage I see to bodies lying in the grass near it.
They look dead.
"Poe, land the ship and don't shoot."
"Bu-"
"Do it." I say with a growl.
I climb out of the ship and rush over to the bodies.
It's Rey.
Oh god it's Rey.
"Poe call for a medical ship now!" I scream.
Rey is with a man.
That man is...
Wait..
Kylo. F-ing. Ren.
I point my blaster at his heart, but Rey's eyes flicker open.
"Finn, don't shoot him. No matter who he looks like to you that man is the man I love." She rasps and then her head rolls to the side.
Rey loves this thing? Well we can always hold him prisoner right? I sigh.
As the medical ship pulls up and a team gets out, I say,
"Take both of them, and no matter what, they mustn't die."
And I climb back into the ship with Poe.
"Poe. It was Rey." I say in I quiet voice.
"Shit." Is all he says back.
