Two That Are One

Conflict

[As we rode up the elevator, I didn't know what was to come, but I saw a glimpse of it in Ben's eyes.]

Rey: Ben.

[He looked down at me, I could still see it.]

Rey: I can feel the conflict in you, it's tearing you apart.

[Swallowing slowly, he didn't respond.]

Rey: You will not bow to Snoke.

[Until he spoke.]

Ben: But I feel the conflict in you.

[Stepping closer to me.]

Ben: It's eating you alive.

[As my back hit the concrete, his breath hit my nose.]

Ben: And you'll turn, just like I did.

Rey: Ben...

[We locked eyes, and Kylo Ren was back, but Ben was still very much present.]

Snoke: Come closer.

[I grunted as Snoke floated me closer to him, then screamed as he lifted me off the ground, tearing through my mind.]

Snoke: Well...

[He chuckled.]

Snoke: I did not expect Skywalker to be so wise.

[As I dropped to the ground, turning my head back to him.]

Snoke: We will give him and the Jedi Order the death he desires. After the rebels are gone, we will go to his planet...

[His gaze sneering at me.]

Snoke: And obliterate the entire island.

[And I breathed angrily, I stood, outstretching my hand to pull my lightsaber to me. It simply spun around and hit me in the back of the head as I winced. Before it returned to Snoke's armrest on his throne.]

Snoke: Such spunk, look here now.

[With a wave of his fingers, he picked me back up as I grunted, he floated me to an eyeglass. As I breathed, starting to look through it as it opened.]

Snoke: The entire Resistance on those transports...

[One after the other, they were being blown away.]

Snoke: Soon they will all be gone.

[As the hope I had started to flicker.]

Snoke: For you, all is lost.

[Inhaling, I didn't let it fade into oblivion, outstretching my hand for Ben's lightsaber. As it ignited in my hands, the guards armed to fight me, as my glare was on Snoke.]

Snoke: Oh! Still that fiery spit of hope.

[My anger was still present in my breaths.]

Snoke: You have the spirit of a true Jedi!

[Yelling I charged at Snoke, as he simply waved his hand again, sending me up into the air. My back hit the ground, as Ben's lightsaber freed from my grip and spun in front of Ben. As it stilled, his gaze lifted.]

Snoke: And because of that, you must die.

[I grunted as Snoke lifted me from the ground, keeping me at a kneel, he spun me toward Ben.]

Snoke: My worthy apprentice, son of darkness, heir apparent to Lord Vader.

[Ben's gaze was still.]

Snoke: Where there was conflict, I now sense resolve.

[There was no light inside his eyes.]

Snoke: Where there was weakness...
