-The Supremacy- M-11 Quadrant, Inner Rim, Corellia Orbit

Chewbacca turned flight controls over to Artoo upon seeing the battle taking place above Corellia when they dropped out of hyperspace. Without speaking, the Wookiee and Jedi took their positions in the gunner pods of the Millenium Falcon, waiting for the astromech to bring them into firing range of the First Order TIE fighters.

Few words were exchanged between Chewie and Luke on the journey to their departed friend's homeworld. Both knew it would most likely be their final mission together and focused on the task at hand.

Between the Wookiee's tenacity and Jedi's foresight, the two of friends of Han Solo cut a wide swath in the ranks of the Supremacy fleet and continued to cut deeper as they approached the

Supreme Leader's ship. In the short time from when they arrived, the damage they inflicted was noticeable enough to turn the greater part of attention of both the TIE fighters and the Supremacy itself from the Corellian revolutionaries.

When multiple squads bore down on them Luke shouted to Chewbacca, "Chewie you have to fly us in. R2 can't dock with this kind of threat."

The Wookiee ignored him and continued to shoot at the horde of oncoming fighters.

"CHEWBACCA, NOW!"

Chewie howled back in response, but climbed up from the gunner seat and ran to the bridge. The moment he regained control of the Falcon, he sent the ship into a spin that caused the droid to scream as it bounced around the deck. When the ship finally leveled out, it only remained steady for a second before a new group of TIE fighter pilots appeared behind them.

"We don't have time for this," Luke said. Standing up from the gunner's chair and raising one of his hands, he pointed to one of the starfighters and then waved it toward the ship next to it. The TIE fighters ran into each other and tumbled in pieces off into space. Climbing back up the ladder, he returned to the co-pilot's chair and got in his seat just before Chewie slammed into a TIE who got to close. Spotting another fighter below, the Wookiee pitched the Falcon into a steep dive and accelerated to full speed. Luke held onto his seat with one hand and to the control panel with the other. Chewbacca flipped the ship on its side just before colliding with the enemy fighter and sliced the TIE in half when he passed through. The collision cracked the cockpit window and set off red lights all over the interior of the ship, but it eliminated the last of the enemy vessels closest to them.

Ahead of them, a landing bay was open for TIES to take off and land.

The Wookiee aimed the Millenium Falcon straight for it and rerouted all existing power to the engines. Both of them were pushed back in their seats from the boost in speed, but readied themselves for when they touched down on the enemy ship.

Storm troopers opened fire the second they entered through the energy shield but hit very little due to the entry speed of the freighter. Chewie lowered the landing gear, but the Millenium Falcon skidded across the polished surface spraying sparks into the air before crashing through a TIE fighter and slamming into the wall at the far end.

Luke turned to Chewie and in a solemn voice said, "They don't know if we survived, wait for a second...we may be able to catch them off guard."

Chewbacca growled, barked angrily and even stood up to go for his bowcaster.

"Chewie wait," Luke said quietly. "If you open the door now, you'll be killed. I know you're eager to fight them, we need to be patient." Luke went to the door and closed his eyes.

The Wookiee howled and chuffed softly, showing he was frustrated but understood. Behind him Artoo beeped and chittered as he rolled forward next to Luke.     

After a minute, Luke opened his eyes and said quietly "Chewbacca. I came here to defeat Snoke, but it is more important for us to be here for Ben."

Chewie turned away, staring silently at the Millenium Falcon's controls.

"This isn't about us anymore. No matter what happens to me, he needs to get out alive, do you understand?"

The Wookiee bowed his head in silence. Outside the faint sound of explosions and battling starfighters could be heard from beyond the ship's dock. When he looked up, fires roared from damaged equipment and fuel cells littered over the landing area.

Picking up his bowcaster, he turned to Luke and nodded.

Next to Luke, R2 beeped twice in acknowledgement.   

The last Jedi nodded back and pressed the button lowering the ramp. Igniting his green lightsaber, he descended the walkway.

"Drop your weapon!" shouted a trooper from behind a barricade of debris.

    Pointing the humming blade at the stormtrooper who spoke, Luke replied "Walk away and I will not pursue you," moving the lightsaber across the area in a slow, horizontal motion he continued

"Walk away from the First Order and live." He lowered his weapon, but did not extinguish it.

    Several blaster rifles clattered to the ground. Dozens of the soldiers retreated immediately, fleeing to the nearest transport or escape pods without looking back.

    The remaining storm troopers looked at each other and then back to the Jedi. Lifting their weapons to peer through the crosshairs, they took aim but never had the opportunity to fire. A shockwave of force hit them, their barriers, the existing ships and anything else not bolted down to the floor sending it all crashing into the wall.

    Luke extinguished his lightsaber and walked down the ramp with R2-D2 and Chewbacca close behind.

    "Commander, what is the problem?" Snoke growled.

    "A small fleet from Corellia my Lord! They've punched through the blockade and are tearing our squadrons to pieces! One of their ships tore through the hull and is destroying our internal systems. We are unable to stop it! I cannot—" his words were cut short when Snoke snapped his neck.

    Shouting to no one in particular he roared, "GET THIS UNDER CONTROL, NOW!" he tossed his comlink to the side and clenched his fists, hissing to himself "Leia,"

Kylo was on his feet and leaped across the room, his lightsaber returned to his hand just before descending on Snoke.

The Supreme Leader turned and hit his apprentice with a push that sent the dark-armored force wielder into the wall at the far end of the room. Kylo remained pinned for a moment, but quickly shifted his concentration into repelling the attack. He dropped to the floor a second later and ignited the red blade of his lightsaber. Once again he leaped into the air, hurdling at Snoke like a meteor passing through the atmosphere. He countered the force push his master threw at him and came down with a overhead strike meant to cleave the old man in half.

A dark, orange light sprung to life in front of Snoke stopping Kylo's blade from crashing down on him. The two backed away from each other the moment their blades crackled and hissed from meeting; each transitioning into a ready stance with their weapons.

Snoke looked somewhat amused. "What do you hope to gain here, apprentice?"

Quietly he replied, "Freedom," before rushing forward to land another potentially fatal blow.

Gnarled fingers reached out and red tendrils erupted from Kylo Ren's chest and head, snaking their way back toward the Supreme Leader to be absorbed. The young Dark Side user collapsed to the floor, his lightsaber tumbling from his grasp and spinning away.

"Freedom is only obtained through power; something in which I do not share." More red tendrils writhed from Kylo's body and into Snoke's. The Supreme Leader smiled with satisfaction as the life energies of his apprentice entered and mingled with his. "You disappoint me." He lowered his hand and sighed. "When you have gathered your strength, you will leave at once to the place I have instructed,"

At the far end of the room, the door opened leading to the turbolift.

Snoke's face contorted in anger. "Skywalker,"

Luke calmly walked forward, unaffected by Snoke's presence.

Jagged, violet bolts of electricity arced across the space between the two; but the Jedi already unleashed a counter attack, sending crackling, emerald-colored volley of lightning of his own to meet it. For several seconds Dark and Light side energy filled the room, causing angry flashes of light when the two intertwined.

Their attempts to strike each other ended at the exact same moment.

"So predictable," Snoke said striding forward. "Rushing here to save the boy who is already lost, who is already mine. Can you not sense it?" The Supreme Leader darted forward, attempting to impale the Jedi knight on his sabre-pike.

Luke's green blade ignited and turned the attack away with little effort. He responded to the comment with a flurry of slashes and cuts that put Snoke on the defensive. In the first thirty seconds of their duel the Jedi Master pushed his adversary back to a wall with no sign his blinding movements had tired him in the least.

The moment Snoke sensed he was running out of room, he sidestepped and threw several more bolts of lightning—

Which were batted away as though they were no more than blaster bolts.

The Supreme Leader roared; shaking what felt like the entire ship in the process. Lunging forward, he made a rapid series of thrusts with his spear-like weapon, attempting to pierce through Luke's defenses. Snoke reached for the Jedi's weapon to pull it from his grasp and almost severed an arm in the process. Force pushing the Jedi only seemed to delay him and trying to penetrate his mind proved impossible. Leaping away near his throne, Snoke held up his lightsaber in front of him and bore his eyes into the Jedi's. Around them, tiny pieces of debris levitated into the air. Bowing his head, Luke held up his lightsaber parallel to his forehead.

Snoke made a subtle, nod of his head and the small projectiles shot towards the Jedi.       

The small pieces of debris hit Skywalker, but bounced harmlessly off and fell to the ground.

Snoke frowned. His eyes drifted to the fallen figure of Kylo and his smile returned. "It appears as though I've been going about this the wrong way, Master Skywalker…"

"NO!" Luke shouted and pulled his nephew toward him.

Three orange-colored sabers ignited around Snoke and then rushed towards Kylo's fallen form.

Luke ignited his second, blue lightsaber and stopped the orange blades before they could injure his nephew. Then his movements turned into a blur as the efforts of Snoke to murder Kylo increased a hundredfold.

Tiny flecks of blood dropped onto the ground around Kylo and Luke, though Snoke could not tell to whom it belonged. He stopped his floating sabers and looked on in amusement. "Undone by your obligation to protect others," he motioned with his finger for one of the orange blades to impale his apprentice, but was deflected by his uncle standing over him. The Supreme Leader laughed. "At long last, it is time for the Jedi to end."

Outstretching his arms, a dozen more orange blades rose up around the leader of the First Order. Lightning crackled at the end of his fingertips…

And then the lightsabers dropped to the ground as the Supreme Leader was knocked several feet to the side by a green blaster bolt.

Chewbacca lowered his bowcaster and growled triumphantly.

Even with a hole through his chest, Snoke rose to his feet and hurled his sabre-pike at the Wookiee.

The spear froze in mid-flight and then dropped to the ground. Luke turned to Snoke and rushed him; both lightsabers raised high for a killing stroke.

The Jedi stopped inches from Snoke, his weapons close enough to cause the flesh on the Supreme Leader's neck to smoke. Veins stood out on the Luke's neck as he struggled against the Force holding him back from ending the battle. Under his blades, the Supreme Leader smiled. "Yes!

Behold my apprentice!"

Luke shifted his gaze to where his nephew once lay.

Now standing, Kylo reached out with the Force holding his uncle in place, his red lightsaber ignited at his side.

"Ben," Luke whispered. "Please don't."

"It is the only way," Kylo's voice came out in a raspy wheeze underneath his helm. "...to bring balance. I cannot bring balance without power,"

Taking two steps forward, Kylo spun once to put momentum behind the wide sweeping slash to decapitate the Jedi.

The blade crackled and hissed as it sped through the air and plunged into Snoke's chest.

For the first time since Kylo had known Snoke, the ancient man's eyes were surprised. The Supreme Leader's gaze slowly drifted up to his apprentice. His deformed face shook as it formed into a smile. "You are—"

Kylo pulled the blade free and removed the head of the Supreme Leader. Extinguishing his lightsaber, he dropped to the ground. Luke rushed over to remove his helmet but Kylo waved him away and then pointed to the areas around his head where the metal had melted. Before Luke could say anything, the former apprentice pointed to the case—now on the floor—containing the mask. "It's not over yet. Snoke's enemy…" his breath came out in wheezes, "I can find him. We must end this."

Together they rose, and Ben pulled the mask forward from the shattered case.

Luke intercepted it on its way to Ben's open hand. He turned it over, studying the relic from different angles. "Must you go through with this?" Luke paused, taking his nephew's arm and wrapping it around his shoulders. "I guess a better question is; would you stop if I asked?"   

"I don't think I would, uncle. I mean to see this through. To the end."

Luke sighed. "I know." he handed the mask to Ben, who tucked it away into his robes.   

Moments later, Chewbacca appeared on the other side of Ben to help carry him from the throne room.

The way to the Millenium Falcon was clear, as most of the troops abandon ship when the weapons systems went offline due to a malfunction caused by a particular astromech. Those who remained could only give puzzled stares as the Jedi and Wookiee helped Kylo Ren down the halls of the Supremacy.

The dreadnought rocked and buckled under the nonstop barrage from both the Corellian and Resistance fleets. R2 skipped diagnostics on their own vessel despite the several warnings and scraped out of the hangar before they were transformed into little particles by the onslaught from outside.

Kylo couldn't help but feel some relief as he watched the Supremacy ripped in half, followed by an explosion that no doubt lit up the sky for all of Corellia to see...
