Disclaimer: Same thing
Axel slowly awoke and he found himself locked to a chair in a room he looked around and saw The First Order symbol on the walls and if things weren't bad enough Kylo Ren entered the room.
"Ah good you're awake" Ren said
"You're a bright one aren't you?" Axel said sarcastically.
"May I ask why the Prince of Mandalore is traveling with a droid, a traitor, and a scavenger girl?" Ren asked.
"They are my friends" Axel replied "You wouldn't know what that's like"
"Friends only hold you back" Ren said "They are a weakness you cannot afford to have"
"Let me ask you a question now" Axel asked "Why do you wear a mask? Darth Vader needed one to breathe what's your excuse? Why don't you take that thing off and look me in the eyes...Ben" Ren then unlocked his helmet and removed it revealing a caucasian male human in his late twenties with black hair.
"You were once my best friend Axel" Ren said "We could've been an unstoppable team"
"Ben can't you see you're making the same mistake that your grandfather made?" Axel said trying to talk some sense into his former friend "Snoke doesn't care about you. Once he finds someone stronger he'll toss you aside and you'll have nothing"
"No..." Ren said "You're wrong about him. The Supreme Leader is wise"
"Ben listen to me" Axel pleaded "Your parents miss you. We all do. There's good in you I know there is. Come with me help me get out of here and I can take you back to our family."
"It's too late for me..." Ren said as a tear rolled down his cheek.
"No it's not it's never too late to change Ben" Axel said "Look inside yourself. You're better then this I know you are"
"If only that were true" Ren said as he put his helmet back on and was about to leave.
"If you're thinking of getting the map from the scavenger you're even dumber than I thought" Axel said making Ren stop in his tracks "That girl is far more powerful then you can imagine" Ren then ordered a stormtrooper to stand gaurd and not let the Prince escape.
Later Axel was was still in his prison room with the same stormtrooper with his saber on the troopers belt watching him.
"Hey buddy" Axel said making the stormtrooper look at him then he use a mind trick on him "You will remove these restraints, give me my weapon and leave this cell with the door open and your blaster on the floor"
"I will remove these restraints, give you your weapon and leave this cell with the door open and my blaster on the floor" The trooper said as he did what he was told to do and left Axel's cell.
"Heh Heh man Stormtroopers are dumb" Axel said as he walked out of his cell.
Later Axel carefully snuck around Starkiller with his lightsaber in his hand then he heard someone approaching around the corner. With no place to hide Axel then took action and ignited his saber to attack but as he did he saw that the person was Rey aiming a Stormtrooper blaster at him. "Rey" he said.
"Axel" Rey said as she hugged him. Though surprised he deactivated his blade and hugged her back.
"Ok first of all never sneak up on someone with a lightsaber." He said "And second what are you doing here?"
"I was captured" Rey said "By that man you were fighting. Who is he?"
"Kylo Ren" Axel answered "He's The Supreme Leader's apprentice and was the apprentice who betrayed Luke"
"I saw him in my vision when I touched Luke's saber" Rey said.
"We'll talk about that later" Axel said "Right now we need to get a ship and get out of here" The three friends then ran to the docking bay to hopefully find a ship.
Later on their way to find a ship when suddenly they ran into Finn, Han, and Chewie.
"Guys!" Finn said happy to see his friends are ok. "Did he hurt you?"
"No" Rey said
"I'm fine too thanks for asking..." Axel said "What are you doing here Finn?"
"I'm here to save you both plus we have to blow up the thermal oscillator in order to destroy this planet"
"Why didn't you contact the Republic fleet?" Axel asked "Their bombers can easily blow it up"
"The New Republic is gone kid..." Han said "This base blew it up"
"What!?" Axel exclaimed "No...that's not possible"
"I'm afraid it is" Finn said "I'm so sorry Axel"
"Did they destroy Mandalore?" Axel asked
"I don't know" Finn said "We have to destroy the oscillator before the station is fully charged"
"Let's go" Axel said as the Resistance members made their way outside the oscillator and saw X-wings fighting Tie fighters.
"They're in trouble" Han said "I'm friend has a bag full of explosives. Let's use them" The three younger adults made their way to the control room and disabled the door controls then they made their way inside the oscillator and saw Han standing in front of Kylo Ren.
"Take off that mask" Han said "You don't need it"
"What do you think you'll see if I do?" Kylo Ren asked
"The face of my son" Han said making Rey and Finn gasp. Ren then took off his mask and revealed his face to everyone in the room.
"Your son is gone" Ren said with a cold tone of voice "he was weak and foolish like his father. So I destroyed him"
"That's what Snoke wants you to believe" Han said walking up to his son "But it's not true. My son is alive"
"No" Ren said "The Supreme Leader is wise"
"Snoke is using you for your power" Han said "When he get what he want's he'll crush you"
"Like I told Axel. It's too late" Ren said with pain in his voice.
"No, it's not" Han said "Leave here with me come home. I miss you..." The father and son looked into each other's eyes for what felt like forever.
"I'm being torn apart" Ren said crying "I wanna be free of this pain. I know what I have to do but I don't have the strength to do it. Will you help me?"
"Yes anything" Han said as he stood face to face with his son. Then all of the sudden Ren ignited his saber and stabbed Han Solo.
"NO!" Rey and Axel screamed as Chewie roared in anger as the watched the smuggler fall into the pit. Chewie then shot Ren in his rib before the others got out and the wookie activated the detonator making the oscillator start to blow up.
As the three friends made their way back to the Falcon they saw Kylo Ren standing in their way.
"We're not done yet" Ren said
"You murdering bastard!" Axel growled
"You're a monster!" Rey said crying tears of anger.
"It's just us now" Ren said "Han Solo can't save you"
Rey then aim her blaster at Ren but then Ren used the force to push her into a tree and knocked her down.
"Rey!" Finn yelled as he ran over to Rey to see if she was alright. All Axel could feel was anger and hatred as he looked at the man who was supposed to be his best friend.
"I'm gonna do what I should've done a long time ago!" Axel said as he ignited his purple blade.
"Let's end this" Ren said "Once and for all"
"Gladly!" Axel as he attacked Ren with full force. The two force wielders clashed back and forth. Ren went to slash Axel's head off but the Prince jump backwards on to a tree then bounced off the tree and kicked Ren in his chest which caused him to fall over.
"I told you I've been practicing" Axel as Ren got up and took a swing at Axel but Axel used the force to freeze Ren's saber in place making the blade vibrate then he released the blade and the two clashed Ren did the same thing to Axel's saber then forced him back until the two clashed oce again. The two Force wielders kept clashing back and forth until they both swung their blade around their bodies and then entered into a saber lock. Both Axel and Ren use the Force to push eachother back but they were so evenly matched they both went flying backwards and then landed on their back. Ren then quickly recover and was about to strike Axel down but then a blue blade blocked the reddish blade. Ren saw that it was Finn who saved Axel's life.
"Traitor!" Ren yelled as the two clashed until they stepped back. "That lightsaber belongs to me!"
"Come get it" Finn said as the former Stormtrooper and Force Wielder clashed their blades. Eventually Ren defeated Finn by throwing the legendary saber out of Finn's hand and slashing his back making the former trooper collapse and went unconscious.
"Finn!" Axel called out as he tried to get up but couldn't because his back was exhausted from his fight with Ren. All the Prince could do was watch as Ren tried to pull the Skywalker saber to him but it wouldn't move. Ren then tried to use more power but then the saber flew not towards him but they saw Rey had just summoned it herself much to her own surprise but Axel chuckled.
"I knew it..." he whispered. He watched the the First Order agent and scavenger girl fight each other and while Rey was holding her own it seem Ren was about to win as they came to a cliff. Axel then found enough strength to get up and limp over to them and saw they were in a saber lock.
"You need a teacher!" Ren said "I can show you the ways of the Force!"
"The Force?" Rey whispered. The scavenger girl then closed her eyes and concentrated on force. Then Rey pushed back and started clashing back and forth with Ren then slashed his leg causing Ren to stumble backwards. Then the two entered into an arm lock and Rey forced Ren to stab the snow and then knocked the saber out of Ren's hand and using her swiftness Rey twirled the blue saber and slashed below his right eye and it created a massive scar. Both Rey and Axel saw the defeated Force wielder on the ground and they walked away because they knew killing him wasn't worth it. All Ren could do we watch as the Prince and the Scavenger carry Finn on to the Falcon and fly away.
Later Starkiller base was destroyed but Kylo Ren managed to survive. The Falcon along with the remaining Resistance fighters landed on D'Qar the Resistance celebrated their victory against the First Order but the war was far from over. As Rey and Axel exited the Falcon they saw a woman in her mid 50's wearing a purple vest. This woman was General Leia Organa.
"Aunt Leia" Axel said as he walked up to her and hugged her. "I'm so sorry about Uncle Han"
"I know Axel" Leia said "His sacrifice wasn't for nothing"
"We'll get Ben back I promise" Axel said
"I've been in contact with you're father Axel" Leia said "Starkiller base didn't destroy Mandalore thanks to you, Rey and Finn but now we need to start evacuating"
Later The Resistance started packing up everything until 3-PO walked up to Leia with the recently powered up R2-D2.
"General R2 may contain some much needed good news" 3-PO said
"Tell me" Leia whispered
The Resistance gathered around the old astromech projected a map of the galaxy expect one certain peice was missing. BB-8 noticed this and rolled up to Poe demanding the missing peice as the pilot inserted the missing peice into the the little droid projected the missing piece on the map and merged it with the rest.
"Oh the map is complete!" 3-PO said
"Luke..." Leia said with joy in her voice.
"There's still hope after all" Axel said as he and Rey smiled at each other.
Later Rey changed into so clean clothes and approached Axel in front of the Falcon.
"I guess this is goodbye for now" Rey said
"No it's not" Axel said "I'm coming with you I haven't seen Luke in years so I'm not gonna pas up this opportunity"
"But what about the Resistance?" Rey asked
"They'll be fine" Axel said as he saw Leia approach them "They have a great leader" Rey then turned and saw Leia behind them.
"Rey, Axel" Leia said "May the Force be with you"
The two younger adults smiled at Leia one last time before getting in the Falcon while all the Resistance members watched them take off to find the legendary Luke Skywalker.
