AWAKEN

53

THE WAVES crashed against the top of the Death Star remains where Rey and Kylo Ren were fighting each other. They were swinging their blades, hitting them against each other with each thrust. However, despite the fact that both Kylo Ren and Rey were fighting at the top of the Death Star, they did not know that Finn and Jannah had made it to the remains. Rey and Kylo Ren would spin their blades before clashing them against each other, Rey taking a few steps back and Kylo Ren taking steps forward.

Finn and Jannah had managed, somehow managed to get to the top. Finn runs on the top of the Death Star towards the battle, while Jannah stayed a little behind.

"Rey-!" Finn screams.

Rey and Kylo Ren were brawling, but when Rey heard her name being called by her friend, she knew what she needed to do. She slashed at Kylo Ren, knocking the blade downward, but still in his hands, so Rey can turn around and extend her hand out.

"No-!" Rey shouts.

She Force shoves Finn back toward the direction of Jannah, who comes running over to aid him. He groans as his back hit the top of the Death Star roughly. Jannah ran over and knelt down next to him.

Meanwhile, the two Force users kept slashing their blades against the other blade. Harder and harder. As their blades were clashed against each other, Rey began to push against it, but then looked up behind Kylo. Kylo Ren turns his gaze to behind him. A large wave was coming their way. Rey shoves him back by pushing her blade against his. Then she turned and ran towards a gap in the top of where they were fighting. When she ran toward the edge, Rey jumped into the air and landed on the other side. Kylo Ren took sprinted over and jumped in the air.

As Finn lifts himself up with Jannah's help, he sees the red lightsaber going over through the waves.

When Rey landed, however, Kylo Ren landed in front of her. Kylo Ren quickly turned to face her. He pointed his saber at her, which she swung her saber at his. They continued slashing their sabers against each other across the surface they stood on with the chaotic water splashing hard against their surface.

Although, Finn got up and tried to go after them, but is stopped by Jannah.

"No, no. We can't go after them." Jannah tells Finn.

"I can't leave her!" Finn screams.

Jannah held onto Finn, "We can't!"

Finn looks distraught, "Rey-!" He screams.

{RISE OF SKYWALKER}

AMARA STAYED on the top of the hill. She sees it. She sees the red and blue faintly from the top of the hill. She managed to have convinced Poe to go back, she claimed she needed a moment before returning to work on the Falcon.

She senses it. She senses it from Rey.

Hatred.

Amara shakes her head.

"No, no, no." Amara says.

She isn't too sure what she is even sensing from Kylo, if she can even sense him. She holds her arms tight across her chest, as she squeezes tightly with her left hand, she winces. Nearly forgetting the injury from Pasaana.

She closed her eyes and then shakes her head.

"Amara,"

She quickly opened her eyes. She turned around, no one was there on the hill with her. No one. But that didn't change the fact she knew that voice.

"Mother," Amara said in a whisper.

"It's going to be okay, now."

Amara's eyebrows furrow as she shakes her head. Tears beginning to slide down her face. A sob escapes her mouth.
