(Island)

(Ben's View)

(One Month Later)

They're coming. The First Order. Somehow they figured out the new Jedi Order lives on these islands. In response, I sent the younglings to Yavin 4 with Rey so that they'd be safer. However, not all of them are away. One of the Padawans, Astro, one of the top younglings here, convinced me to let him stay to prevent the island's destruction. Now, all we have to do is wait for the oncoming First Order.

As I wait on the peak of the island, I hear Astro's footsteps walking up the stone stairs. I turn around and frown. "Astro. Get back to the camp. You need to defend that." I say, taking a step to him. Astro shakes his head. "It wouldn't be any use. The First Order would be coming for you, not the empty village." He scoffs. I narrow my eyes. "It's an order Astro. I hate making orders, but I have to. Go back."

"No." Astro firmly states. My eyes narrow even more. "No? Astro, if you don't, the Jedi Order's relics will be destroyed! Get back there, NOW!" I boom out, my anger rising out of control. Astro scoffs. "There's the Dark Side coming out of you again. Sometimes I wonder why I have to be under you Master Ben." He scowls. I, after glaring at him, sigh. "Yes. I know. Just, just go back. That's all I desire Astro." I say, turning my back to him. He scoffs again and begins to walk down, but stops. I turn my head, seeing his head lowered and a huge grin on his face. Knowing something's up, I stand to my feet, clutching my lightsaber's hilt. "Master. You know how the First Order knew I was coming?"

"…You didn't."

"Oh I did." He says, unsheathing his lightsaber. I unsheathe mine. "And the First Order. You sent them to Yavin 4, didn't you?" I snarl. He turns to me and nods. "Yep. Now, are we going to stall or fight like warriors?" He asks, stepping up the stairs. With a spin on my lightsaber, I nod. "Let's play this your way then. Bring it on!" I boom, chucking my lightsaber to him. He leaps into the air, dodging my throw. I run towards him, summoning my lightsaber back into my hand before clashing it on his lightsaber, creating a strength match. Since I'm way older than he is, it takes no time to overmatch him. He, as he arches back, kicks me in the chest. I stumble back, regain focus and flip over him, land on my feet and Force Push him across the peak. He stabs his lightsaber into the grass, slowing his momentum so he doesn't fall down the peak. I pick him up with the Force, slamming him hard on the grass. After that, I summon his lightsaber into my hand. He, with a groan, slowly stands to his feet. He, clutching his chest, glares at me. "You're making a huge mistake Ben." He snarls, reaching into his pocket. My eyes widen when he throws something at me. I soon realize what it was.

A bomb.

The bomb soon explodes, the shockwave sending me off my feet and off the peak. However, I manage to grab the peak as I began to fall. Dangling off the peak with my two hands gripping the peak, Astro takes the lightsabers, which I dropped when the bomb exploded and points it to my head. He grins. "This is the end for you my master." He sneers. "Any last words?" He asks. I nod. "Yes. One more lesson for you. There's things more frightening than death…Do it."

I close my eyes, preparing for the end. That's when I sharp pain stings for an instant, and then I see nothing…until a couple seconds later. I open my eyes, finding myself floating in space, overlooking the planet. Tears begin to flood down my face. "It's over…" I whisper. After those words choke up from my mouth, I hear a giggle. I turn my head to find Keisa floating next to me. She turns to me. "Hello Father." She hums, taking my hand before turning back around. "Keisa…You…You were watching, weren't you?" I ask. She giggles. "Well of course. But Father, it's not over for the Jedi."

"Hm? What do you mean by that?" I ask, curious. She giggles again. "History repeats itself, does it not? Astro is raised by a Jedi, and then goes to the First Order. If history really repeats itself, he'll realize everything he's done and change back. The Jedi will survive Father." She hums. "I…I don't know about that Keisa…" I mumble, squeezing her hand tighter. "Well…maybe you're right, but there's one thing that will make you feel better." She says. She then embraces me. "You're with your everything." She giggles. I hug her, closing my eyes.

She was right. I'm with my everything, and now, I wouldn't have it any other way.
