Rise of Skywalker
MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU!!!

Finn helped me patch my wound and went to help fix the landing gear. it was struggle since it was too busted. I put the tool in my mouth as I tried to connect the wires.

"All that matters is the wayfinder. Finding Exegol." Rey tells me as she helped.

"Thats what we're doing." I muffled. I looked at Rey. She looked so miserable. So lost.

"He killed my mother and my father." She spoke about Palpatine. "Im going to find Palpatine...and destroy him." I dropped the tools down. I frowned.

"Rey..." I whispered to her. "That doesn't sound like you. Not one bit. Kylo probably lied." I sighed. "Rey I know you.."

"People keep telling me they know me." She cuts me off. I stood there. This isn't her. "Im afraid no one does." She shut the lid and walks away. I bit my lip. I laid down, I needed to. The ship started to shake. I sat up and ran to Poe.

"Whats going on?" I held onto the seat.

"We're going to crash." He had the handle still. I grabbed onto the door as we were going to crash. We were all okay and we walked towards the cliff. We saw the destroyed death star, in water.

"What is that?"

"It's the Death Star." I replied. "A bad place from an old war." The stories my mother and father used to tell to me and Poe as kids. I looked at Poe, we can tell by our faces, the stories they told us, were finally true.

"Its gonna take us years to find what we're looking for." Poe complained.

"Oh dear." 3PO trembled. I heard Rey whisper something to herself. She pulls out the dagger from her bag and lifts it up. We found it. It fit like a missing piece.

"The wayfinders there." Rey said. We heard people coming in from behind.

"Heads up!" We all put up our weapons.

"Rough landing." The women tells us as she points where the ship was.

"Ive seen worse." Poe returned.

"Ive seen better." She sassed back. I like her. "Are you Resistance?"

"That depends."

"We picked up a transmission from someone named Babu Frik." She told us.

"Babu Frik? Oh, hes one of my oldest friends!" 3PO announced.

"He said youd come. He said you were the last hope."

"We have to get to that wreck." Rey spoke up. "There is something inside there we need."

"I can take you there by water." Hmmm did you see those waves? We would kill ourselves if we tried.

"Yeah have you seen the water?" I pointed from behind me.

"Not now. Too dangerous. We can go first light tomorrow."

"We cant wait that long." Rey steps up. "We dont have the time." She argued.

"Or the choice." Poe turns to her. "Lets get that ship fixed. Do you have any spare parts?" Poe puts down his weapon and head to the women. I turned off my saber and went with him

"Some. Im Jannah." She introduces herself.

"Im Poe and this is my sister Hera." I nodded. I helped Poe as we fixed the gear. He was too quiet.

"Hey." I said to him. He ignored me. I picked up some pieces and he bumped into me. "What the hell is going on with you!?" I shouted.

"Nothings wrong. It should be you, you need to be worrying about." He shakes head.

"Me? What about you? Youre the one acting different ever since we were saving chewie." I pointed at him. He drops the materials.

"Im starting to think everytime Kylo Ren shows up, i feel like you lead him here." I clenched my jaw. How dare he.

"Do not!" I raised my voice, I pointed at his chest. "Poe whats wrong with you? I have nothing to do with this."

"At least I didn't fall for the enemy! Why even waste your breath for him! Everyday you hope for him to come home, he wont! You risk your life for him, but he wont even risk himself for you. Let it go Hera, he's not coming back. He's too far from light." My heart sunk. I had a lump in my throat. "Im sorry Hera but-"

"Screw you Poe." I pushed him. "If it was me that took his spot, you would do the same. You don't understand. You dont let people you love go." I turned around, angrily. How dare he accuse me of Kylo knowing where we were.

"Reys gone." Finn holds me. My eyes widen.

"She went to the death star." We ran to get binoculars. There she was. Oh Rey.

"She took the skimmer?" Jannah shockingly said. Finn and Jannah were going to help her. I was more than happy to come.

"Im going to help her." I stomped away.

"Like hell You're not!" Poe grabs my arm. I faced him.

"Im not a little girl anymore Poe. Im sick and tired of you telling me what to do. Im going." I pushed my arm back. I shook my head and went back to Finn and Jannah. Finn and I went to watch where she was. Thankfully Rey was okay.

"Hera! Finn!" Jannah yells as she ran to us. "Theres another Skimmer."

"Lets go." I commanded. We went to the skimmer and away we go. The waves were too powerful but we managed. It felt a long time as we got to where Rey was. I felt Kylo was here. No. Finn and I ran into the wreckage to see Kylo and Rey fighting.

"Rey!" Finn screamed. I squinted my eyes. They both were looking. Rey pushed us back. Finn and I went flying. I didnt land on the walkway, i slipped.

"Finn!" I screamed. Finn quickly grabbed my hand. Waves kept coming in, me holding my breath. I was drowning. I was slipping away from Finn.

"Hera!" I heard. Jannah helped Finn pull me up. They laid me back, i coughed up some water. I sat up and saw Rey stab Kylo.

"No!" I screamed. Ben gasp and held his side. "Ben!" I rushed to his side.

"Hera no!" Finn yelled. Rey had left, she took Kylos ship and left. As I made it to his side, I saw the wound that Rey gave him. I kneeled down and Ben was trying so hard to stay calm. I looked at him. I placed my hand on his side but he grabbed it. I placed my other hand on it. I closed my eyes and focused on healing him. He huffed, i opened my eyes to see him looking at me, so close we were. I sat down next to him, took a deep breath. "I wanted to take Bens hand, not kylos." He just kept staring at me. We just sat there as if we had the whole time in the universe together. "All i wanted was to save you, bring Ben home. I've tried so hard, but I understand now that you don't want to be saved." I looked at him with teary eyes.

"I never meant to harm you." He spoke with a crack in his voice.

"Even though you did, it wasnt you. Whenever im with you, I feel safe. You're a great man Ben Solo. I hope you know that."

"I dreamt about you. For the past 6 years, I've missed you." He made me feel me again, just by saying that.

"So have i, i just cant go down-"

"The dark path." He finished. I bit my lip, trying not to cry. He looked like he had found his purpose as he stared at me.

"If you did love me, let it all go. This hatred isn't you." I looked at the powerful waves.

"I feel like I've been torn apart. I wanna be free from this pain." I grabbed his hand, i felt the force again. It was still there. "But its too late, i just dont know if I have the strength to do it."

"If you decide to leave everything, and if you still believe in the force between us, you'll find your strength and me. Goodbye Ben." I planted a kiss on his cheek. I looked at him, what probably will be the one last time. I stood up and went with Finn, heading back to the falcon. Jannah and Finn didn't say a word to me as I walked straight to the Falcon. Poe saw me. I shook my head, i didnt want to talk about it. Not from him. We then went back home. I walked straight to Maz. "Where is he?" I asked about Jax.

"He's sleeping." She looks at me. "Leia."

"What about her? Is she okay?" Maz didn't say a word. I didn't feel good as she lost eye contact with me. I went to Leias room. She was laying down. It pains me to see her like this."Leia?" She reaches her arm out. I quickly grabbed it. "Oh Leia."

"It has to be done." She whispered to me. "He'll be back."

"What?" Poe and Finn came running in. I started to tear up. "Leia what are you talking about?"

"You'll see." She gasps. Maz took us out of the room. She needed some time alone.

"Hera." I ignored Poe. As I made it to my room, I saw Jax sleeping. I sat on the bed and planted a kiss on his forehead.

"My baby." I whispered. He looks so peaceful. I moved his hair out of his face, tucking them behind his big cute ears. I kissed his forehead again. I sat there, how much I missed him.

"Hera." I turned to see Poe. I stood up and crossed my arms. "Im sorry for what I said. Its not your fault. None of it." He sighed. "Finn told me what you did for Ben." I gulped.

"What? You came here to tell me what?"

"I dont want to fight anymore."

"Neither do I."

"Im not going to get in the way of you and him. I wouldn't stop if you were in his place, I would want you to the light, because you are a nice person. If you believe Ben is still in there, go, you dont let go of the people you love." He looks up to me. He sighs. "I need to tell you something. I know where Exogol is." He walks to me, grabbing my shoulders. "I need you with me." He begged. "Come on Hera. We fight this, destroy Palpatine and the first order, you get to be with Jax. Do it for him." I put some thought to it. I looked back at Jax. Anything for him. He doesn't deserve to live in a world like this.

"To stop Palpatine." I said as we hugged.

"To stop Palpatine." He repreated. I kissed Jax and we walked out of my room.
