(The redemption of Kylo Ren.)

Chapter seven:

Meanwhile back on the second Death Star... the New Confederacy of Independent Systems overheard Kylo Ren's orders via an intercepted transmission from a Dove Fighter.

"Rey! General Grievous! We're going to have company! Kylo Ren's coming this way!" Aleena called out to them over the intercom.

Rey Palpatine reached for her yellow lightsaber, only to find that it wasn't there. "Um, General Grievous, could I borrow one of your lightsabers?" Rey Palpatine asked him.

"Grah! Don't loose this, Jedi!" General Grievous said as he handed Rey Palpatine Darth Zannah's double bladed crimson red lightsaber.

Aleena then entered the room. "That lightsaber was an ancient Sith Lord's, but the blades are naturally red. I hope you know how to use it."

"I've used a staff my whole life, this won't be much different." Rey Palpatine replied.

"Good, they both replied. Rey Palpatine gasped as she held the double bladed crimson red lightsaber, brief images of Darth Zannah and of battle's long ago flashed in her mind.

"Incoming here they come!" Darth Plagueis called to them over the intercom. That pulled Rey Palpatine back to reality, and she shook her head to clear the thought. Then she raised the double bladed crimson red lightsaber, ready to fight.

The First Order 's Atmospheric Assault Landers began landing in the second Death Star hangar. Chewbacca immediately opened fire on them with his bow caster.

The Scorponek Annihilator Droid's, B3 Ultra Droid's,, and Protodekas began viciously attacking the Stormtroopers to defend their Masters battle station.

Rey Palpatine watched as the droids fought the Stormtroopers. Several of them fired their blaster's at her. She ignited the lightsaber and scarlet blades appeared from both ends of the hilt. Rey Palpatine held the lightsaber out in front of her and spun it in swift circles, deflecting the blasts.

"This lightsaber is nice, Rey Palpatine told General Grievous.

"Yes, it is nice. I killed an assassin to get it." Replied General Grievous.

"You are both doing great, but it's time to step it up, Kylo Ren has arrived " Aleena said.

"Indeed I have, said a voice. They turned to see Kylo Ren approaching them.

"Supreme Leader Ren , you are more childish than expected." General Grievous said before he coughed.

"General Grievous... Kylo Ren replied. "Your shorter than I expected."

General Grievous growled before taking out his four lightsabers. "First Order scum." he answered.

Kylo Ren looked around. "Quite an army you have here." Kylo Ren said.

"Better than yours." Aleena replied. "No offense."

"You haven't even seen half of our army yet. I have an army of clones waiting." He stopped himself from revealing their location.

"Your mother wants you to come home Ben Solo, and it's not too late to do so." Said Aleena.

"It is too late, Kylo Ren answered. "No one will ever forgive me, not even my mother."

"Don't say that!" Aleena said to him as Princess Leia Organa walked into the room.

"Ben, I have already forgiven you, she told her son.

"Why?" Kylo Ren asked.

"Because I love you." Princess Leia Organa answered.

"I love you too, Kylo Ren answered.

His mother hugged him. "I will make things right, he promised. Then he looked over to Rey Palpatine and Cale Lestin and Aleena. "To all of you." He added.

Aleena then saw a Stormtrooper about to take a potshot at Ben Solo. "Look out!" Was all she could say before she pushed Ben Solo out of the way. Aleena got shot by a blaster shot in the arm. "Gah!"

A few of the droids began to shot at the Stormtrooper who had tried to assassinate their leader. Rey and Cale went over to Aleena. "Are you okay?" Rey Palpatine said.

"Ugh. I'll live. Help the droids shooting at the assassin's." Aleena said.

"That Stormtrooper had already alerted General Hux." Replied another Stormtrooper.

Rey Palpatine and her apprentice Cale Lestin charged at the assassin's, and began to fight with their double bladed crimson red lightsaber and blue lightsaber.

Aleena watched as the First Order Star Destroyer's jumped into hyperspace. "You saved my life" Ben Solo l told Aleena, surprised.

"No need to thank me.." Aleena gave him a warm smile.

"I'm the one who should be thanking you..." Said Princess Leia Organa. "For saving my son."

"You don't need to thank me, all of you would have done the same thing for me." Aleena said to Princess Leia Organa with a warm smile.

Princess Leia Organa smiled back at her. General Grievous picked up Aleena before leaving. "You better let my husband know what happened. Those Stormtroopers who shot at the assassin's have joined our cause." Aleena said. "I'll see you after General Grievous has taken me to the bacta tank."

Princess Leia Organa nodded solemnly.

"Stormtroopers, I'm putting you all on guard duty for the second Death Star. Welcome to the New Confederacy of Independent Systems, trooper's. Make us proud." Aleena said before she and General Grievous were out of the hangar.

The Stormtroopers nodded their heads, wanting to earn her trust.
