(On the battlefield.)

Chapter twenty nine:

The tide of the war changed real quick. As the Knights of Ren entered. And things things... weren't looking too bright.

Rose hid behind a metal plate as Stormtrooper's shot at her.

A Knight of Ren held Finn in the air as he was choking.

Poe Dameron looked around his area, realizing that he was cornered.

Croc saw hundreds of Stormtrooper's walk up to his frame.

If I go down I'm going down kicking your ass, Croc said. Fighting into hell's deep.

Lando laid on the ground, his leg wounded and hurt as he crawled to his gun. Stormtrooper's surrounding him.

Jones sat in the cockpit of the Scarlet Speedster but a blast hit his side. He looked to see Ally in the corner scared and Phoebe whirling around.

Damnit where is Cale? Jones cried.

Suddenly boom an explosion happened in the middle of the battlefield.

The Knights of Ren looked towards the noise in shock.

There stood Cale Lestin, Empress Rey Palpatine, and Asoka Tano. Heroically and lightsabers drawn.

The three bolted at the group of six with intent to kill.

I'll take on four, Asoka Tano said.

The battle was on, Asoka Tano leaped into the air and landed on the four Knights of Ren.

Rey and Cale nodded to each other and took on another group of Knights of Ren. While one of them ran and attacked wildly the other one oddly just sat there... staring at Cale Lestin.

Empress Rey Palpatine ducked under a swing and slashed the Knight of Ren's throat killing him. One down. Cale smiled at Rey and looked at the mysterious Ren.

Welp, Cale said. Give up now and we'll let you live. Cale told the other Knight of Ren.

Yeah sure... and let a sinner like you rule over me, she said.

What are you? Cale asked her.

Like how you failed lives... like how you failed Kira!! Said the female Knight of Ren.

Cale gasped. How did she know about Kira? Unless...

Don't tell me, Cale said.

Yes... I am Kira the twin sister that you failed. Replied the Knight of Ren.

The Knight of Ren pulled of her mask to reveal a ugly sight. This woman has beautiful long red hair and piercing green eyes. But her face was scared. As if a animal had scratched it. She was the twin sister to Cale Lestin, and the daughter to Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker, the Emperor's Hand.

What happened? Cale asked his twin sister. Horrified by the scar that was on her face.

You... and now... I'm going to take away the one who has your heart and put her out of her misery. Kira replied to her twin brother's question.

Kira shot Force Lightning at Rey and the hit connected. Rey twitched in the water as Kira cackled. But as this was going on Cale stood frozen.

This was the woman that he prayed for at night. The woman he cried for. The woman who he thought died. This is what she became. Some killing machine. To that... Cale had enough.

Cale bolted into his twin sister's direction and flipped over Kira. Just as he was in the air, he carefully swung his blue lightsaber woosh. The blue lightsaber sliced through Kira's hand like butter, causing her to scream and thrash from the pain of her stumps.

Rey slowly stood up from the beach water of Exegol and wobbled. Cale rushed to her side and helped her upright.

You okay? Cale asked Rey.

Took you long enough, Empress Rey Palpatine said laughing.

They laughed together as they looked around. No one was fighting. The Stormtrooper's were either dead or surrendered. The warriors were reunited, hugging and healing. Poe Dameron landed his X-wing and hugged Finn and Rose. However, not everyone was happy. Asoka Tano was standing next to Chewbacca, breaking the sad news about Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia death to him. Lando was joking around with fellow fighters.

Cale looked at Empress Rey Palpatine and realized how lucky he was to have her. She could've easily stayed on the dark side and turn him down. But she didn't, she turned back to the light side of the Force, sometime after Cale had approached her on the new Death Star.

Rey, Cale spoke softly.

Yes, Empress Rey Palpatine responded.

I love you, Cale revealed leaning in.

I love you too, Empress Rey Palpatine said moving in as well. The couple inched closer and closer before kissing each other. Rey wrapped her arms around Cale's shoulders as Cale put one hand around her waist, and put his other hand around her three short ponytails. Further embracing the kiss.
