A/N: Chapter dedicated to Reylo_is_My_Halo . You should all go check out her book Escape.

Ben's POV
I'm boarded on to a chariot with Poe and Finn and the girls get their own.

Still in cuffs and guarded with stand waiting to be set to our deaths, but not without a fight.

"So what's the plan?" Poe whispers.

Finn glances at me, as well as, Poe.

I shrug. "Wing it."

"I still have two blasters in each boot." Poe offers.

"What?" Finn asks shocked.

"And I have two lightsabers." I reply.

"And you haven't used them why?" Finn asks.

"Because Rey had a plan." I tell them.

"And that is?" Finn raises an eyebrow.

"She didn't say." I look down.

"Something is wrong with her again." Poe says. "She didn't look at any of us or answer anything."

"And since when does she have an apprentice?" Finn questions.

"I don't know, so quit asking so many questions."

"Sorry. Nervous." Finn says and the chariot moves, following the girls, who have now passed us.

I see Sassy and Caiti and notice something. Caiti hands a small object, too small to see to Sassy quietly and she wiggles it into her cuff.

Poe seems to notice and raises an eyebrow back at me.

The sun blares down right into our eyes and I try to not cover my eyes and show my discomfort.

A crowd cheers and soon enough we are stopped and escorted off the chariot and to poles. There are only three, so only one of us will be alone on one and two with two people.

I am chained to the middle with my back to the sun and perfectly right in front of Rey, Snoke, and their high ups.

Rey looks down at me with her yellow eyes.

Yellow?

I look to my right and see Sassy and Finn to my left.

"Who's behind me?" I ask Sassy.

"Caiti." She informs me, then looks back to her.

Once the guards have us chained up they move away.

"Caiti." Sassy says only loud enough for us to hear. "You get Poe, I'll get Ben."

"What?" I ask confused and with that part of her cuff falls away.

"Ladies and Gentlemen." Captain Halo speaks.

A Geonosian with a crown speaks directly afterwards. Most likely translating to her people.

"Today we are gathered to witness the death of traitors to the First Order, along with Resistance members."

The queen translates again.

"As your guest and protectors here is how we deal with intruders."

The queen translates and when she finishes, gates open revealing
3 creatures.

The first one out is an Acklay. Green and screaming, angered by the guards sticking it with electric shocks.

"That's our cue." Sassy calls out.

She has one hand freed and is struggling with the other cuff.
"I think it's jammed!" She calls out to me.

"I got Poe freed!" Caiti calls back, as a Nexu appears with it's tailing swaying around hinting at it's readiness for an attack.

My attention, as well as, everyone else's is caught when a loud, rumbling roar is heard and the Rancor is released.

"You've got to be kidding me." Finn shouts.

I look at Sassy who actually has fear in her eyes for once and use the force to undo her cuff, breaking it from her wrist.

"Thanks." She rubs her wrist and comes over to me. "Why are you so fucking tall?" She grumbles as she tries to reach my cuffs.

The Nexu approaches and I see it's target. Us...

"Run. Go. I'll be fine."

"Do you have the sabers?" She asks frantically.

"On my calves. Quick."

She kneels down and the Nexu stalks around us.

She pulls then free and ignites one, slicing through my chain and I hold my cuffs out and she slices through them.

"Deal with some bracelets for a moment."

"Thanks." She hands me one.

"Rey took my axe."

"How did she find it?"

The Nexu prounces and I tuck and roll away.

"I decapitated Nines." She calls.

"Lovely." I say taking a battle stance and see Sassy twirl her saber. "How do you know how to find with a saber?"

"Rey trained me."

"Who all is she training?" The Nexu lounges at Sassy and jump on top of it. Quickly slashing it across the back, almost getting stabbed as Sassy's saber impales it.

I jump down and see Sassy kick the Nexu aside as it lays limp barely breathing.

"Well that was easy." She breathes out.

"Still got a Rancor and Acklay to deal with." I remind her.

I look up to Snoke and see the disgust on his face. I smirk and then see Snoke tell something to Rey and she looks down to me.

Our eyes lock and she smirks.

Rey jumps from high up on the platform and lands before me.

Blaster fire begins and I look away to see Finn, Caiti, and Poe shooting down the Acklay.

"Guys look out!" Sassy yells as the Rancor approaches them.

The Acklay falls in defeat with a final battle cry.

"Ben Solo, I will kill you. Once and for all." Rey hisses.

I turn my attention back to her. "Rey what has he done to you?"

She doesn't reply, but gives a low growl.

She jumps forward for an immediate kill strike and I block easily.

Sassy joins in and swings her saber, but Rey is quick and blocks her.

"Rey this isn't you." I call to her as her and Sassy begin to fight.

"Ben, a little help." Sassy calls as Rey presses her advantage.

I deactivate and reach out with the force lifting up Rey.

She growls and breaks free and lounges in mid air for me.

I grab a hold of her again and send her flying back into the wall.

I begin to rush and see if he's okay when a blood curling scream rings through out the arena.

I turn and see the Rancor with Caiti in it's mouth.

Finn and Poe continue their attack as the Rancor begins to corner them.

"I'll get this. You get Rey." Sassy calls to me and runs to help them.

I run to Rey and she begins to stir awake. "Rey? Rey. Rey can you hear me?" I ask her in my arms. "Rey are you alright?"

She presses a hand to her head. "Where am I? What happened?"

"We're in the arena on Geonosis. Snoke was mind controlling you I believe."

"Yeah he was." She rubs her forehead. "Fight me longer and on my cue, throw me towards Snoke."

"Why?" I ask.

She shakes her head slightly and adjust to her surroundings. "Just trust me."

I nod and she ignites her saber once more. A little close, but enough to look like a near miss.

I drop her jumping back into a battle stance. She stands and glares at me.

She charges at me and goes to strike. She swings, attack after attack. I just block and look to see Snoke smirking at his rogue apprentice, unknowning what side she is truely on.

I counterattack against Rey, catching her off guard.

Our sabers continue to clash and the Rancor is roaring behind me mixing with the sound of blasters and Sassy's saber.

I duck under Rey's swing and switch sides to get a view of the Rancor.

Sassy has got quite a few hits on him, but not enough to stop.

I glance to Rey and she gives a nod.

I force throw her as I did on Starkiller Base and she goes flying towards Snoke.

With both hands I raise my saber and give it a force throw through the back of the Rancor, piercing through it's heart.

I turn and watch as Rey lands.

Rey's POV
I land before a surprised Snoke and swing my saber towards his neck without a second thought and decapitate him.

A guard pulls the Queen away and the arena begins to empty quickly.

A guard shuts the door and leaves Yerha, Halo, and I on the balcony.

"You're with them?!" Halo shouts angrily.

I take a battle stance ready for her to shoot at me.

"Yerha, take her down." Captain Halo commands.

My eyes dart to Yerha and she looks uncertain of what to do.

Before I can react she force pushes me backwards. I know that's her go to move, but I don't know if that's to stall or was her way if attacking me.

I begin falling and turn my head to see Sassy pulling a lightsaber from the Rancor's back.

"Rey!" She shouts stretching out a hand towards me.

I freeze mid air, right before I should have hit the ground.

Our eyes stay locked as her hand stays out towards me.

I question her although she's not near me. "Sassy did you just catch me?"
