〉 Ben

  I start throwing woods to Zor's flaming Tie Silencer. "Ben stop!" Ava walks to me and I push her using the force. "No Ava!" I scream and throw another wood.

   I look at Luke's lightsaber. He is gone. He is not coming back. I throw the lightsaber but someone caught it. "Luke..." I breathe out.

  "A Jedi's weapon deserves more respect," he tells me, "What are you doing Ava?" "Leia is gone. Hope is gone," I say to him.

  Luke walks to me and say, "Do you believe in yourself Ben?" "I don't know anymore," I start to cry. I sink to the ground. "you have a strong heart Ben," Luke kneel to my height. "You are strong."

  "I am not strong anymore Luke. I am a weak man," I wipe my tears. Luke sighs. Ava walks to me and rubs my back. "You are not strong Ben... but together we are strong," she tells ms.

  "You both can defeat Palpatine," Luke encourages and Ava asks, "How?" "Because I believe that you both can defeat Palpatine," Luke grabs my chin and lifts my face.

   I look at Ava and she smiles at me. "We can do this Ben. Do you belive in yourself?" she asks and I smile back at her. "I do..."

   I look at Luke and say, "Thank you Master Luke. For everything." "Now go to Exegol," he tells us. "We can't. I destroyed Zor's ship," I tell him.

  Master Luke teleports to the edge and he slowly lift his hand. His old X-wing rises from the water. He lands in in my side.

  He gives me him lightsaber and tell me, "You can defeat him. I believe in you." I smile and hug him. "Can I join?" Ava asks and we laugh. She joins the hug.

   "We can do this together..."

   We look at the place and it is filled with machineries. "What is this place?" Ava asks and I answer her, "I don't know."

   We further and see the throne of the Sith. We look at the back and see an arena. What is this?

   "Long have I waited..." I hear a menacing voice. I look back to the throne and see him... "Palpatine..."

  "I never wanted you dead. I wanted you here. Empress Ava. You will take the throne," he says to Ava as we back away from him. "We didn't come here to take the throne. We come her to kill the Sith," she says to him. "As Jedis?" he asks and I reply, "Yes."

   "Your hatred, your anger. You want to kill me," he says. "That's what I want for you to kill me. And my spirit will pass on to you as all the Sith live on me. You will be Empress. We will be one."

   We look back in the arena and see all the sith. "With your anger, you will kill me. You will also kill Ben and take the throne. His powers will be to you too," he tells Ava as he looks at me. She faces me. "Ava, no. We are going to kill him. Together."

    "I will never kill my friend!" Ava tells Palpatine. "Weak. Like your parents," he says and she defends, "They are strong." "Strike me and kill Ben Solo." Ava looks at me again. "No, I won't kill Ben!"

   Palpatine opens the top and we see our friends fighting the Final Order fleet. I struggle to breathe as I see them struggling for dear life.

   "Since Ava is weak, Ben you will strike me and my spirit and all the Sith will be with you. You can save your friends now... Emperor Ben," Palpatine says to me. I ignite my saber and Ava shouts, "No Ben!" I force push her away. "Yes, strike me with your anger," he says before closing his eyes.

   I put the saber in my back. Ready to strike him. But I stop myself. "No!" Palpatine shouts. I force pull Ava to my side and ignite Luke's lightsaber. We start to defeat the Emperor's guards.

   I force pull on guard and stab him in his heart. I slash the guard on my back and kick his stomach. I backflip and stab another guard.

   Zor appears on the side and stab on guard. The three of face each other before doing a stance and facing Palpatine.

   Palpatine raises his hand and we float. The lightsabers lose from our grip as he pull us near him. We start to suck our energy to him. But suddenly get interrupted because he is weak.

  After he is done, I fall to the floor...

  Unconscious...

   I open my eyes and see Ava slowly waking up.

  "Be with us..." I say.

  "Be with us..." Ava tells.

  "Be with us..."

  "These are your final steps, Ava and Rey. Rise and take them..."

   "Ava..."

   "Ben..."

    "Ava..."

    "Bring back the balance, Ben and Rey, as I did..."

    "In the light. Find the light, Ava and Ben..."

    "You’re not alone, Ava and Ben..."

    "Alone, never have you been..."

    "Every Jedi who ever lived, lives in you..."

    "The Force surrounds you, Ava and Ben..."

    "Let it guide you..."

    "As it guided us..."

    "Feel the Force flowing through you, Ava and Ben..."

    "Let it lift you....

    "Rise, Ava and Ben..."

    "We stand behind you, Ava and Ben..."

    "Ava and Ben..."

    "Rise in the Force..."

    "In the heart of a Jedi lies their strength..."

   "Rise..."

  "Rise..."

   "Rey, the Force will be with you..Always..."

   Me and Ava final stand up and look at Palpatine. "Let your deaths be the final word in the story of rebellion," he says to us. He strike us with the lightning. We use the force to grab the saber and deflect it.

   "You are nothing. A slave girl and a Skywalker is no match for the power in me. I am all the Sith!" Palpatine says.

   "And we... are all the Jedi," I say as I grab Zor's lightsaber and deflect his power. Palpatine's body disintegrates, killing him.

   I fall down and faint...
