The Youngest Skywalker

Love Eternal

Noah's jaw dropped in shock at the scene before them and so did Anakin's. Snoke, sitting on his throne, his mouth agape in shock and betrayal...and Rey's lightsaber through him. And just like that, Supreme Leader Snoke perished with one swift motion, he toppled to the floor, decapitated. Snoke's death also released Rey from the hold the madman had on her.

"What the-?" Anakin yowled.

"Did not see that coming," Noah said, stunned.

The two's shocked responses apparently alerted Rey and Ben that they were here.

"Now?" Anakin asked as Ben and Rey got ready to fight the guards.

"Might as well," Noah nodded and ignited his white lightsaber. Anakin ignited his uncle Luke's lightsaber and charged to cover Ben, while Noah covered Rey.

Noah? What happened? I felt a huge shift in the Force. Is Snoke dead? The voice of his love asked over their bond.

Yes, and you won't believe this, but Ben actually killed him using Rey's lightsaber. Noah answered as he parried and blocked the guards from killing him and Rey.

Whoa! What?! Kyra's shock emanated from their bond, and it caused the guard to use that distraction to wound Noah's forearm.

"ARGH!" Noah shouted, and retaliated by plunging his lightsaber through the guard's chest.

Noah! What's happening?! Kyra worried.

I'll tell you later, Kyra. We're a bit busy with guards at the moment. Noah responded.

Alright, just be careful. Kyra ended the bond.

Noah helped Rey incapacitate the other one.

On their end, Anakin and Ben furiously swung, blocked and parried. Now there were two Praetorian Guards that they had to get rid of. When they heard both Rey and Noah cry out in pain, the cousins ramped up their fight and took care of one guard. The other guard had Ben in his grasp about to kill.

"BEN'S GONNA GO DOWN!" Anakin shouted.

"Rey! The lightsaber!" Noah yelled.

"BEN!" Rey called out and threw her lightsaber to Ben, who ignited it and killed the last Praetorian Guard. The guard fell down dead with a loud thunk.

Kyra had returned to find that Poe was disobeying orders again, and Leia had stunned him, and Finn and Rose were on the Supremacy awaiting execution. She had thought about going in and  saving them, but the ghost of her father reassured her that Rose and Finn would be alright. At the same time, Leia was teaching Poe that things weren't always what they seemed to be.

Norah had gone to get Rose and Finn, disguised as an officer.

Shmi, Ahsoka and Leela were all happy to see her alive and well. She had learned that Krista had died along with her family,  and Lizzie too had perished when they were taking down the Dreadnaught, and she hung her head in sadness. At least Madison was still with them.

Kyra and Leia watched from the escape pod they were in. Admiral Holdo had volunteered to stay behind inside the cruiser, and they knew it would be another sacrifice. They watched as the cruiser jumped to hyperspace...

KA-THOOM!!!

The cruiser had disabled the Supremacy, and Kyra knew that Norah, Finn, Rose, Rey, Anakin, Noah and Ben were all still inside, and she prayed that nothing had happened to either of them.
