Chapter five

Meanwhile, on the Millennium Shelf, the crew was preparing to take off when ...

- Leia is not on the ship!

- How do you mean it isn't?  The C-3PO had to take care of it.

- It was disabled and Leia is nowhere on this whole ship!  Poe shouted.  We need to find her because she might be in danger.

- I know where she is, whispered Rey.  It's with Ben.  They'll be back together.  Leia followed us.

- How do you know this?  If she was a trap and now Leia is in danger?

"Poe," Finn interrupted, Rey and Ben could feel another force-bound person.  Let's trust her.

Poe sighed and went into the control room of the ship.  Chewie followed.  Luckily, they didn't get very far from Ben's base.  So they had an advance to look for Leia.

Leia, meanwhile, made her way to the cabin where Ben had come from and saw him talking to General Hux.  He was angry, but he had kept calm during the argument with Kylo Ren (Ben) when he had asked for an escape ship to leave Naboo with the others.

- General, go away from my eyes.  I need to get ready for take-off.

- Of course ...

The general walked to the opposite side of Leia and disappeared.  Ben, on the other hand, felt Leia and looked up at her.

- Mom, what are you doing here?  You should have been on Dad's ship.

- I felt that you would not accept so easy to come with Rey and I left, but I hid from Stormtrooper.  Glad to see you again before I leave.

- I'll be with you, Mom.  I promise.  I go back with you to the Millennium Hawk and go with you, but we have to do something about Hux.  We must destroy the First Order.

In the meantime, Rey, Finn, Poe, and BB-8 returned from where they left off.  They had to retrieve Leia and save Ben again.

- It's a stupidity!  We're going to be killed.

- Shut up, Finn!

BB-8 has been ringing a few times to signal the three of them to look at him.  Ben and Leia headed for an escape pod and took off for Naboo.  What the three did not know was that Ben had a plan to destroy the First Order.

Beep!

- Happy beeps, BB?

- Beep!  boop!

- Follow BB-8!  Poe shouted.  He found General Leia's location.

Rey and Finn followed Poe and BB-8.  The little droid was smart, but he always got into trouble.  When he was on Jakku, Rey had been offered a big ration for the BB-8, but she had refused.

- It is not for sale!

He has always been her friend since she was known.  Whenever someone needed it, the BB-8 was with her.

Finally, they reached the end of the long hall where the Starkiller base capsules were evacuated.  Rey saw Ben and ran towards him.

- Well!  Rey shouted.  I'm glad you found Leia.  We were worried.

He hugs her, gently taking her by surprise, but she softens in her arms.

- You are fine?

- Don't worry about me, Rey.  Leia and I are fine.  But you are fine?

- I'm fine, Ben.  But we have to leave as soon as possible and this time you are coming with us because we will not return for the third time.

Ben smiled and stroked his hair.  They were still hugging and Leia, Finn, and Poe were watching them quietly.

- Hey, I don't want to interrupt the moment, but ... we have to hurry.

The two moved away and looked at each other slightly embarrassed.

- Here are the evacuation capsules.  It'll be quicker to leave like this.  But it's only room for two people.

- Not the problem.  We go back to Șoim, and you and Rey can come with the capsule.  We meet in the forest and take off for Naboo.  At this point, we are only safe there.  Unless Ben betrays us.

- It won't.  It's on our side.

"And he has a plan," Leia said.  A plan to destroy the First Order.

They did exactly as Poe proposed.  Leia went with him, Finn and BB-8, and Rey with Ben.  Although the space in the capsule was limited, the two managed to fit.  However, there was a problem ...
Hux knew that Kylo Ren wanted to leave and immediately headed for the room where the escape capsules were.  He wanted to see with his eyes how the Supreme Leader joined the Light and betrayed everything Snoke had taught him in previous years.  However, Hux wanted to become the Supreme Leader and destroy the Resistance.

- General, are you sure the Supreme Leader is here?

"Of course," Hux murmured.  He asked for an escape capsule to be prepared to join the rebels.  He's a traitor!

- But sir ... there's nobody here.

- Stop!  It must be in one of these capsules.

Hux and the two Stormtroopers were looking for Kylo Ren, but what they didn't know was that Ben and Rey had already taken off.

- We lost him, sir!

- Bring me a ship!  We must find him and pay for treason.

Rey and Ben took off and soon reached the set point.  The rest were ahead of them, but not for long.

- Are you ready?

"Yes," Rey and Ben replied in unison.

- Do you want to go to Naboo?  My grandmother lived there ... before ... you know the true story.  Leia probably told you.  In any case, it is a quiet place.

- That's why we want to stay there until we need to come back.  If Hux finds us, we will be ready to attack.

After landing on Naboo, they quickly made room for a place to rest.

Ben Solo was finally home.  Or at least she felt at home again.  He could be happy again.  He had a large group of people who were on his side and were really holding on to him.  But more important than that, he had Rey.
Now he was sitting on a small couch and staring blankly.  In fact, he was looking in a mirror at himself.  He was arranging his outfit for the Naboo party to destroy the evil.
In that silence, there was a slight knock on the door.

- Come in, he shouted.

The door opened, but Ben was still looking at the mirror.  Then another figure appeared in the mirror.  The silhouette of the one for whom he fought against the darkness.  And the one who fought to get it in the right direction.

- Hey, Ben!

Ben turned his head to Rey and smiled shyly.  He couldn't believe how beautiful he was in his mother's clothes.  She looked like a real princess.

"I have some emotions," he admitted.

- I'll be near you.

Rey took his hand.  The two remained so for a few seconds, staring at each other.
- Do you think everyone will accept me?

- Of course.  You have to have little faith in yourself.  I have.

- Thank you, Rey.

Rey was a little surprised when he stood in front of the mirror to look at Ben.  She put her hand on her cheek and Ben on her waist.

* Is this really happening? * He thought.  Their lips formed a perfect kiss.

"It's really happening," Rey said and smiled.  She had read Ben's thoughts.
