(Rise of a new Empress.)

Chapter fifteen:

Rey took a long look at them and said. "Have you ever seen any action before soldiers?" Scorch laughed. "We were seeing action before you even thought of."

Cale Lestin smiled. "Good maybe we won't have to babysit you after all." Scorch replied. "Hey...

"You know they have a point Scorch." Said Sev. "Oh so your own their side now?" Asked Scorch.

"That's enough bickering Deltas." Said Boss. "Yes, sir." Replied the team. Kylo Ren breathed in and out for a few seconds before he said. "Rey, Cale Lestin and the Delta squad will infiltrate the compound by sea." Kylo Ren turned his head towards a shadow in the hallway. "Boba Fett will take it by the landing docks." Said Kylo Ren.

Cale and Rey saw Boba Fett step out. He wore a rusty suit of armor and a jet pack. Cale and Rey could have mistaken Boba Fett for Darth Vader. The way they moved. Their talking. It was the same. "Wouldn't it be wiser if I were to come in from below since I know the inside?" Asked Boba Fett.

"I need your expertise later on when Rey and Cale unlocks the front doors. We will be arriving on Kamino in ten hours. I'd advise you to get the men ready Fett." Said Kylo Ren. Boba Fett walked off without saying a word. "Delta squad let us get ready too." Said Boss. When Kylo Ren, Cale Lestin and Rey were alone. Rey asked a question that had been on her mind since Kylo Ren mentioned the mission. "Are you not going too lead the troops on the battle of Kamino Ben?" Rey asked.

"No I am entrusting that to Boba Fett and trusting you and Cale Lestin to keep an eye on him. Before the ship lands I want us to train a little more." Said Kylo Ren.

They walked into a private room where they could train and before they started Kylo Ren remembered something that Emperor Palpatine's Master taught him.

(Tell me what you regard as your greatest strength, so I will know how best to undermine you, tell me of your greatest fear, so I will know which I must force you to face, tell me what you cherish most, so I will know what to take from you, and tell me what you crave, so that I might deny you.)

Kylo Ren turned to Rey and said to her. "If you are able to make me concede defeat I will tell you what you want to know about Anakin Skywalker." Kylo Ren could see that Rey was intrigued and then immediately became serious. "Good." Kylo Ren thought.

Cale and Rey Force Jumped at Kylo Ren and began slashing at him. Kylo Ren, blocked every attack but to Cale and Rey it looked like as if they were driving him back. When Cale and Rey realized that they were only being allowed to slash they Force Jumped back. Maybe if they did the same thing like on Coruacant.

"You shouldn't think Rey you must act on instinct. Use your anger, only your hatred can defeat me." Said Kylo Ren. Instead of letting Cale and Rey attack, Kylo Ren began the offense. After a while Cale and Rey became exhausted. Kylo Ren thought. Yes this is it. When all else fails she will have to use it. This is where she will have to employ the power of the dark side. "Come now I expect more out of you. Your acting a Jedi and not a Sith Empress." Kylo Ren paused. "You hate me, don't you?" He asked.

"No, I only hate what you've become." Replied Rey. Those words cut Kylo Ren deep. More than any wound. "Good now use that as your power. Feel the dark side flowing through you, use it to strike me down." Said Kylo Ren. Cale thrust Anakin Skywalker's blue lightsaber forward. Kylo Ren quickly dodged and cut off his left hand!

Cale then began screaming in pain. "Is it necessary?" Kylo Ren asked. "Since you will not listen to me and use the dark side, this is your punishment." Said Kylo Ren.

Rey's eyes turned from brown to a pale yellow. "How could you do that to him?" She yelled.

Rey fought through the pain of seeing her apprentice using his left hand to make one final strike that cut off Kylo Ren's right hand making him drop his crimson red crossguard lightsaber. Rey then turned around and asked Cale if he was alright before helping him up to his feet. "Yeah, I'm fine." Cale said smiling at her. Underneath his mask Kylo Ren smiled. "See what happens when you employ the dark side?" Kylo Ren asked. "Take another look at Cale's hand." Said Kylo Ren.

Cale looked and saw that his hand had magically reattached. "That's right Cale I never really cut off your hand. But do you see what I meant about the power of the dark side? If you can control it, you can become more powerful than Emperor Palpatine and Luke Skywalker themselves." Said Kylo Ren.

Rey nodded her head. "Let's go." Kylo Ren said. "Get ready Rey and Cale it's time for the mission." Said Kylo Ren.

Delta squad, Cale and Rey were inside a Imperial sub vessel riding through the ocean to get to the cloning building. Boss then said. "Listen up Deltas, Empress Rey Palpatine and her apprentice Cale Lestin is our field Commanders. I expect you to follow their orders just as if it came from Kylo Ren himself."

"How could a little girl be caught up in this battle?" Asked Sev. "I don't know." Said Fixer. "But she had already killed more than her share of people." Replied Fixer. Rey could hear them speaking about her in the background but she didn't care. As Cale took her hand in his and rested his head on her shoulder, and Rey did the same to his.

As Rey was worried about her new goal in life. Trying to bring Ben Solo back from wherever he had gone. Kylo Ren was only apart of his real identity.

Rey would have to help heal the wounds of his mind to make him turn back to the light. Another thing came in her mind. Why wasn't she seduced by the dark side?

As many times as she used it, why hadn't she totally been turned. Maybe it was because she was Emperor Palpatine's granddaughter or that she was the Chosen One. She didn't want to use the dark side anymore. It made her feel sick.

From here on out she would try her best not to kill anymore except when there was no other choice. Instead of becoming a Sith Empress she would continue to train Cale. She could access the documents that the Jedi temple owned and could train from them. Then when she destroyed her grandfather Emperor Palpatine and the Final Order she could save Ben Solo from what he had become.

She could turn him back to the light side of the Force. Rey just hoped that Cale wouldn't hate her because of this, as he was steady sleeping on her shoulder.

Rey snapped out of her daydream when Boss said. "All right Delta squad let's form up and subdue that compound."
