Special Guest
A/N: Please listen to the chosen song while reading this.
Palbi's POV
"Ren." Sassy calls out, as I enter the room. "Nines says the room is debugged."
"Good."
"He knows Hux will notice soon, so we should probably act fast."
"Okay, lets show the First Order who's really in charge." I smirk. "Call for my Knights to come for a visit."
Ben's POV
I sit in the interrogation chair quietly bored with nothing other to do than sleep or stare at the walls.
The door opens and a trooper steps in. He points his blaster at me and unlocks my restraints.
I could easily disarm him and escape, but I feel a disturbance. Not the usual darkness lurks about the Finalizer, but something much darker.
"Where are we going?" I question him.
"Just keep quiet and don't cause any troubles."
"Tell me or I will." I shoot back.
I hear the trooper sigh. "Rumor is Ren is doing a public execution and wants you to be the special guest of honor."
"So she's not going to kill me?"
"No, word is she's going to make a statement. Now shut up."
"You forgot to cuff me." Must be new.
"Shit." He mumbles then turns and puts them on. I smirk without even trying to fight back or escape.
We enter a grand room with stormtroopers and officers lined up. I am escorted to the front on the stage and he pushes me down on to my knees.
Everyone stares at me and I don't even know how many actually know I used to be Kylo Ren since I never took my mask off.
The door at the end opens and I watch the Knights of Ren enter.
This can't be good.
Enjoy the show. I hear a voice harsher and deeper than Rey's with a hint of metallic.
The Knights line near the back and Nines steps out with a man that has a bag on his head. The man appears to be trying to fight back and I recognize his outfit.
Rey steps out silently and her boots send echos throughout the room.
She pulls the bag off his head revealing General Hux and no one dares to whisper seeing the fury in her eyes.
Rey croutches down next to Hux and whispers something in his ear. His eyes become panicked and he has this look of lost hope upon his face. The tape covering his mouth doesn't even allow his last words to come out.
She ignites my lightsaber... thanks a lot Finn... and raises it then quickly strikes in a downward sweeping motion and Hux's body splits in two falling side by side.
I cringe and close my eyes in disgust. What have they done to her?
Palbi's POV
I deactivate my lightsaber and stare down at Hux's lifeless body.
No one will get in my way.
I look back at my Knights who stand ready for me to give some sort of command and I sense Ben Solo getting nervous. I glance toward him and see him with his eyes close.
I turn to Nines "Dismissed." I walk out and hear him call to the others to be dismissed.
He comes back to me at my room with my special guest of the evening, Ben Solo.
"Enjoy the show?" I ask standing in the living room.
"It was delightful." He says emotionless.
"Sassy." I call to her and she comes out of her room. "We should celebrate tonight."
"What would you like to do?"
"I don't know. Eat then treat our guest to something special."
"Okay, what would you like me to cook?" She begins walking to the kitchen.
"No, it's fine. I'll call for food, Nines stay guard please."
"Yes Ren." He stands at attention at the door. Ben glances at Nines when he says my name.
"You can also uncuff our guest." I turn and begin walking to my room. "Join me?" I ask Sassy.
I walk into my room and to the closet. "So the room is finally debugged?" I begun undressing.
"Yes, when should we discuss things?"
"After dinner?" I offer.
"Sure. What are your plans for Ben?"
"I'm not sure yet. I know he came here for something, but what? I can't figure him out."
"Ever think of peeking into his mind?"
"He's a Jedi. He'll feel it and pick a fight with me."
"Will he?"
"He killed Kylo, he can't be trusted." I slip on black leggings and a long grey tunic, then shake out my hair from its buns. "Let's go order food than eat."
We walk back out and Ben is glancing around the room awkwardly.
"What are you hungry for Ben?" I ask.
"Anything."
"They don't serve that. Pick something else."
"Whatever you're having."
"Nines?"
"Beef stew."
"Sassy?"
"Chicken and rice pilaf."
"Okay, I'll order that too, Sassy set the table?"
Ben's POV
Rey walks to the kitchen and Sassy follows. I try to make eye contact, but fail.
I contuine to stand where she left me unsure of where to move to.
"Nines is it?" I turn around face him, he nods. "How long has Sassy worked here?"
"Hired about the same time Re-n." He almost says Rey, but catches himself. So that confirms that it is her, if there was any doubt in my mind.
"It'll be here shortly." She steps out.
"So you know my name, but I don't know yours."
"Correct Ben Solo." She freezes and looks lost in thought for a moment, then shakes her head and continues
"Now if you would like to enjoy dinner, we'll be eating in the dining room."
Palbi's POV
As I speak his name, a flashback begins and I'm now looking down towards him on some green planet at an old building.
"Come down and I'll explain, while I fix you up." Kylo holds up the first aid kit.
"Deal was to catch me. You may have found me, but you didn't catch me."
"Really scavenger? Come on."
"Rey." I say and roll my eyes.
"What?"
"My name is Rey, Kylo Ren."
My mission is to kill Ben Solo, because he killed Kylo Ren.
He walks into the dining room beside the kitchen and the door buzzes.
I hear Nines answer the door and I take my seat next to Sassy and motion for him to sit across at my small 4 person table.
He obeys and Nines comes in shortly with our food on a cart.
I glance and see a plate of chocolate covered strawberries among our food.
"Who ordered chocolate covered strawberries?" I question openly.
"What strawberries?" Sassy asks.
"The ones right there on-" I look back to the cart and they're gone.
Ben smirks at me and I grab my knife and turn throwing it into the wall, then grab Nines and throw his knife as well.
I take a deep breath. "I need a moment. Feel free to start without me." I back away from the table.
You remember that night? I hear Ben in my head.
I don't know what you're talking about. I leave and head to my room. "He sleeps on the couch."
