Star Wars One Shots

It Has to Mean Something - Kylo Ren

Things had changed so much in your life in the last ten years. Before the attack on the Jedi Temple things had seemed so effortless in your life, you were being trained as one of the top Jedi Knights in your rank, your best friend was by your side, but it all changed in just one night.

You awoke to the sound of screaming, and fighting outside your quarters, it was too early in the morning for it to be training. Your heart started racing so you grabbed your lightsaber and ran from your room. Once you were finally outside your heart was instantly shattered into pieces, all of your friends lay around your feet and you can see fire making its way near you. You knew you didn't have time to get all of your friends, all you knew was you had to get to Ben, and make sure that he was okay.

As you started running to where his quarters were, you realized that the fire had already engulfed the entire building. Tears filled your eyes, but you knew what you had to do, what you were trained to do. Fight.

To your left you heard grunts, and screams of pain, you ran that way pushing away your grief of your fallen friend, it was your job now to protect the Jedi Temple, or at least what was left of it. Rain started pouring down on you as you ran to help the others. Just as you were able to see who was executing this vicious attack, you stopped in your tracks, there were easily twenty men covered in black head to toe. At their feet, everyone you'd ever come to know while training under Luke Skywalker.

There were no more screams of pain, no more fighting anywhere around you. Everyone was dead. Including Ben...

As the screams echoed in your ears you had to push through, this was your time to stop The First Order, and to avenge everyone lost that night. Finding out Ben was behind the entire attack was worse that you thinking he was dead that night, not only did Snoke take everything you'd ever known from you, he took your best friend and made him into his own personal killing machine.

Just days ago you learned of him killing his own father, this was to avenge Solo as well. General Organa was devastated to learn of her son's actions, but she pushed forward. It was time to put an end to Kylo Ren, and hopefully if you were somehow lucky enough redeem your best friend and bring him back to where he belongs.

This mission is one you knew that you might regret later, but for right now it was what was most important. Not even General Leia approved of this, her specific words were "Don't you dare go there, there is no helping him now. Not from anyone. I'm sorry.." Knowing that his own mother didn't think there was hope left for his redemption was your motivation, someone needs to believe in him. That someone is you.

You were just about to pull out from lightspeed when your nerves for this mission finally set in. Do it for Ben. You think to yourself.

The second you pulled out of lightspeed you knew there was no way to avoid being imprisoned for being a member of the Resistance, but that was your goal. Once you were captured your hope is that the rumors are true, and Ben- Kylo, does the interrogations for Resistance members. If he sees who you are, maybe there is a chance that you can get through to him. The chances aren't very high, but you're willing to take that chance to bring him home.

Once you landed, a voice came over the PA system in your ship "This ship is being taken over by The First Order. All Resistance members aboard will be taken care of."

You don't exactly know what taken care of mean, but something told you it might be worse than you thought. Watching quietly you look around outside of your ship, you knew there was no chance in escaping, all controls were taken over the second you landed.

The ship, from the outside, looked almost identical to the stations you had just left. Your ship made it through the shield from the outside, and immediately several Stormtroopers were running at you, blasters ready to shoot. Your goal is to cause as little trouble as you could, if you were killed instantly then your mission would have been for nothing. This has to be worth something.
