The Assignment (Kylo Ren X Reader)

Chapter 3

Message To Kylo Ren From Emperor Palpatine: Kylo Ren's presence required on Exegol: Departure in one hour

-Kylo-
Kylo was only awake for about an hour before the message was sent to him.

I wonder why. Kylo thought to himself. He hasn't had a formal meeting with the Emperor in years.

When the message had appeared on his Datapad he had already been making his rounds on the base so he only had to make his way to the command shuttle.

The command shuttle was prepared for take off as Kylo approached it. He walked up the ramp to the shuttle, his boots clicking on it with each step.

"Prepare for takeoff" he says as he sits in the pilots seat. The only other person on board being an engineer.

-ARRIVED-
As the ramp opened and Kylo was able to step off the shuttle and onto Exegol soil he observed his surroundings. A male, that was probably only a few years younger then him stood waiting at the end of the ramp. Kylo assumed this was probably the other person the Emperor is training. The boy stood up straight with his hands behind his back and his eyes staring forward, careful not to meet Ren's gaze.

"Supreme Leader, the Emperor is prepared to see you now" The boy spoke, his voice gave away that he was nervous.

The boy motions Kylo to follow him as he walks down a dimly lit pathway to the emperor. Kylo walks up to the Emperors throne and kneels.

The Emperor's gaze meets Kylo has he looks up to receive an order from Palpatine.

"Stand." Palpatine orders. His voice is cold and distant and his face showed no emotion.

Kylo followed the Emperor's orders and stood waiting for instruction.

"As you know I have sent the girl to stay at the starkiller base," Palpatine spoke.

Kylo Ren raised his gaze for only a moment to show the Emperor he understood what was being said. There was no need for a response.

"Her purpose is more to you then the First Order." Palpatine paused for a moment waiting for a reaction from Kylo. There was none.

"When you return to Starkiller base you will inform her that she will now become Commander." Palpatine continued on, "Therefore you will need to train her. She is ready and will serve the First Order well. Adding on to her training, I will give you access to her thoughts. Once you arrive back onto Starkiller base you will be able to hear them." Palpatine informed Kylo.

This was a lot to take in. She had only arrived a few days ago and now she was being handed over to Kylo. Kylo didn't know the first thing about training someone. He was pondering over the thought of what it might be like to train her but was interrupted by the Emperor.

"Do you understand Ren?" The Emperor asked.

"Yes sir." Kylo replied.

"Then you are free to go. Once you arrive back on base inform General Hux of what is to come, then her." Palpatine instructed.

Without a word Kylo got up and walked back to his ship.

—Back at Starkiller base: Hux's Office-

"What do you mean she's the new commander!" Hux shouts. He didn't take well to Kylo's news. "I can't work under a woman!" Hux continues on.

"You can and you will." Kylo scolds Hux.

Hux sighed and slumped back in his chair, thinking over what to say to inform the new commander of her position.

Hux sighed and paused for a moment. "Go and get her from her quarters. Inform her this is an urgent matter." Hux ordered a stormtrooper.

-y/n- (from this point any text in italics are y/n thoughts that Kylo can hear)

You were writing in your journal when you were interrupted by a knock on the door. You set your pencil down on the page and get off the bed. You walk over and open the doors to your room revealing a stormtrooper waiting for you.

"What is it?" You ask him.

He stands with his hands held together behind his back. "General Hux and Supreme Leader Ren request your presence in the General's office. It's urgent." He informs you. As he finishes telling you this he turns and leaves.

You turn back into your room into your room and grab your helmet which is sitting on your vanity that is left of the door. You snap it on your head and leave your room. Each step earning another click on the tile floor from your heels.

As you reach the door to the General Hux's office you motion one of the stormtroopers to open the door. He complies and the door to Hux's office swings open.

As you step into Hux's office you notice him sitting at his desk and Kylo standing in front of Hux's desk with his hands behind his back facing you. Without a word you walk into the office, standing yourself next to Kylo, waiting for Hux to inform you of why he needed to speak with you.

"It has come to my attention that after a meeting between Ren and the Emperor that the Emperor has chosen you as the new commander." Hux informs you.

Your eyes dart to Kylo who is watching you, waiting for your response to Hux.

"Thank you General." You finally day back.

"You will start your new position tomorrow morning and Lockwood will have your data pad set up for you." Hux tells you.

"Adding on to this, i will train you. As being you have no prior experience." Kylo interrupts.

This was all so much at once. Only a few days ago this would have all been a dream and now you are staying at Starkiller Base and will start training with Kylo Fucking Ren. It's all so much to take in. You stand looking at Hux and Ren for a moment, trying to fully comprehend everything that's going on. Don't just stand there! Say something! You tell yourself.

"Very well then, send a stormtrooper to inform me when training starts." You reply, looking at Kylo. Then you turn and look at Hux. "Is that all?" You ask him.

"For now." He responds then tells everyone they're dismissed and the room scatters.
