Star Wars: The Knights of Ren

This is not canon. This is a fan-fiction I have written that is inspired by both the old and new star wars movies and books including the extended universe that is now considered non-canon. Here it is:

“The Knight’s Of Ren”

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away…

Prologue

The day was like normal. However, There would be an awakening. Not in the jedi, but rather in the dark side. Luke Skywalker was training many of his apprentices, The future jedi knights.

They would be fed barely enough to get through the day and would be forced into harsh conditions and constant workouts and training which made them shallow and quite. However, They had been doing this for years, so it became normal and out of weaklings came warriors who could sustain much.

However, out of all of them, two stood out. A young man named Ben Solo and another young man named Andre. Ben was a troubled young man who could not embrace one particular side. He was the son of Han Solo and general organa, leader of the resistance and the grandson of the great Anakin Skywalker AKA Darth Vader as well as the nephew of the great Luke Skywalker. He had a big shadow cast over him. A shadow as big as the fate of the universe and a war between light and dark, jedi and sith, that is.

He had been strong with the force but untrained and had became his uncle Luke's apprentice as part of the Knights of Ren. The day was a normal day of practice and learning more about the force but also learning who and what the apprentices were truly.

Andre was very different however. He was the adopted son of Han Solo as he had grown apart from Leia. He was natural with the force. He was as powerful as Vader you could even say, however that was an understatement. Andre could wield a lightsaber like it was the back of his hand.

That was why Ben despised him and everything that he Stood for. Every time he saw andre his stomach would burn, his fists clenched and his eyes red and bulging.

Andre was everything Ben wanted to be. He got along well with Han and Luke more. He fit in more with everyone else. Not to mention, He was way better looking. He was also much more powerful in the force, but they were about the same level at that point in the force because the attention was mostly on Ben as he was the legacy of Luke and his mother as Luke never had his son.

However, Andre was much better and lightsaber battle, but his light side made him kind of weak compared to the anger of Ben who would never back down even to a fellow jedi. However, It was safe to say that in real battle, Andre was probably better, because he wouldn’t be going against a fellow jedi, he would be going against the first order.

Chapter 1

Andre’s teeth became clenched. He was trying to build rage. He tried to imagine Ben as stormtrooper scum. He was in a sparring match with Ben, with lightsabers of course.

“What’s wrong, Andre. Scared aren’t you?” Ben spit out with blind rage.

“Ha, of your ugly face. I am not scared of you and I never will be.” Andre said in a joking tone.

“I will believe that when you come at me.” Ben said in a weird combination of joking and scarily serious.

“Less talk, more lightsabers wielding!” Luke said.

“Yes sir.” Said Ben Solo, instantly sprinting with all his might at andre and throwing his lightsaber behind his back.

The sound of lightsabers being thrown around and thrown at one another continued for minutes before andre started to spin in the air doing flips and turning vertically and diagonally and used all his strength to fling his saber right at his saber, throwing ben’s balance off and causing him to fall with his lightsaber thrown to the other side of the room. Then, Ben used the force to bring his saber to him, but to his surprise, it stopped in mid air a few feet away from him and turned on and pointed at him, growing as close as an inch to his chest.

“Checkmate” Andre said to Ben.

“You must improve Ben. The galaxy is counting on you. The new order is growing rapidly to the point of which it could grow more powerful than the empire or the whole dark side of the force ever was.” Luke said in a angry tone that obviously showed his disappointment and embarrassment as well as anger at Ben.

“What if I don’t want the weight of the universe on my back. You’re weak anyways! You couldn’t even kill darth vader.” Ben said.

“Never speak of my father in such a tone. He was a misguided man that found piece as a jedi in his last seconds alive. He was a jedi and had a lightside that was concealed even after he became darth vader. I refused to kill him because I realized I was becoming what I set out to destroy! You wouldn’t understand though! You see Anakin as Darth Vader, a sith master who killed everyone in his way and was filled with rage and power. However, what you refuse to acknowledge is the fact that he embraced his light, passionate side right before his death and his soul rested in piece as a JEDI!” Luke said.

“Hey, You both! We are all on the same side and more so with the fact that you two are uncle and nephew. However, what you all refuse to concede is that I am sitting in this room watching this, having just defeated the great skywalker family’s heir to the throne and yet I get no recognition. I am not treated like a jedi master but like a peasant who should bow in the presence of Ben Solo, The great and powerful! However, I don’t care about heirs and I don’t care about any of you. I am a jedi and I will become a jedi regardless. However, Just know, never in my lifetime would I ever bow down to Ben Solo or Luke Skywalker.” Andre said.

“You don’t have it in your blood. For the last two generations the skywalker family has consisted of the greatest jedi’s of all time and that will continue. You must continue your grueling training if you want to truly become a master.” Luke said.

“I will do what I want! I am great and powerful! If I need to I will finish what Darth started. Not just the sith and the galaxy, but to kill the great Luke Skywalker!” Ben exclaimed.

Then, Ben began to use the force to lift Luke up and choke him. Luke’s face became red and he began to tug at his throat.

“STOP.” Andre said as he began to choke Ben back.

Ben let go of luke and as did andre to ben. When they finally could breathe again, Kylo began to run out of the room. He locked Andre and Luke inside and managed to get past some security in the doors and lock it inside and out. Then, Muffled screams and sobs could be heard.

“No!” One shouted.

“Please, I have a wife and two kids. I am just here to learn how to protect my family from the first order!” Another one screamed.

However, there pleads were ignored and more screaming continued as the splatter of blood could be heard by Andre and Luke as they listened wide eyed. Luke and Andre ran to the door and tried with all their might to open the door and help those who were being massacred. It was no use though. The override password and the regular passcode where both denied as well as retinal and fingerprint scanning. The people were being slaughtered one by one with luke or andre unable to do anything but listen to the screams of those who would soon be dead. Then, Muffled Whispers could be heard and then multiple lightsabers turned on.

“We are the knights of ren. This is just the beginning. The dark side will at last become triumphant and vader will be avenged! I may not be able to kill you both but I can stop you from doing anything by trapping you!” Ben yelled.

“Don’t do this Ben.” Luke exclaimed.

“I am not Ben. I am Kylo Ren, Leader of the Knights of ren. Leader of those you left in the cold and forgot for years. You have made them warriors. Cold Blooded killers. That will come in handy very soon. Just know… I am the legacy of darth vader. I will honor him by taking upon myself to create a mask and armor. You will tremble at the very thought of the suit used by the great kylo ren!” Ben A.K.A. Kylo Ren exclaimed.

Luke became trembling while he dropped to the ground and began crying and angrily hitting the ground.

“What have I done… What have I created. I cannot stand by and watch as this cycle of the skywalker family continues. I must leave. Come with me, we will be safe.” Luke said.

“It’s not your fault… And even if it is, why be cowards and run away when we can stop him. Andre said.

“You don’t understand. Those bodies out there, all that blood on the walls, that’s on my hands. I can barely sleep at night knowing that my father died in a gesture for me. That Obi-Wan died in a battle that should have been my own. All the civilians, all the misguided stormtroopers and empire members that had no idea the atrocities they were creating, that died because of my fight and because of me and my people. This isn’t my fight. I fought a good fight once, but I know Kylo. We will lose. He is like vader, but with no weakness. He has nothing but a father that never loved him as much as his adopted son and a uncle who was never content with his abilities as a jedi knight. We must run. Don’t be a fool.” Luke said.

“I am not a coward. I will fight for the jedi even if you won’t.” Andre exclaimed.

Well, I guess this is goodbye for now. I don’t know when or if I will see you again, but if I don’t, Thank you for teaching me the ways of the force and remember I will always be out here fighting for the light side if you need me.” Andre continued.

“Ok, Andre. Thank you for spending all those years committed to this cause and I wish you the best of luck.” Luke said.

“Thanks. I wish you the best of luck also in wherever you are going.” Andre replied.

Then, luke used the force to collapse the ceiling and stopped it in mid air and pushed it aside to another room and climbed up and jumped over to the next room using the big hole in the wall as did andre. Then, They exited the building while picking up bodies to bury and went their separate ways unknowingly never to see each other again until many years later when the force is awakened.

Chapter 2

“WHAT JEDI DARES TO CHALLENGE THE GREAT SUPREME LEADER SNOKE?” A giant white head that called itself supreme leader snoke yelled.

“No jedi dares! I am Kylo Ren, Master of the knights of ren and the legacy of darth vader! The son of General Organa and Han Solo. Trained by Luke Skywalker as a jedi knight but only to join the dark side of the force. I have killed all of Luke Skywalker’s apprentices that are not part of the knights of ren, my apprentices...” Kylo ren screamed.

“Take off your helmet. I must see for myself.” Snoke yelled.

Then, Kylo took off his helmet revealing his face. He was a very ugly young man but beneath all of his face was his eyes, with hatred that could not be copied or faked. Something that can not be reproduced. “I sense you will one day become great… A legend from the dark side. You have been trained by the great jedi Luke Skywalker and I sense you have put him to rest, temporarily. He is scared and he believes this is not his war to fight. You have done a great deed. You have weakened the jedi substantially. What do you seek by coming here to my temple?” Snoke asked.

“I have come to take my rightful place as one of the leaders of the first order and to lead the stormtroopers and the first order to triumph… To finish what my grandfather started.” Kylo ren answered.

“Well, if that is what you seek, then may that be granted. You may take your place, but eventually when the time comes you will have to show allegiance by killing your father. I sense he will become a grave threat to the first order.” Snoke yelled.

“Yes sir, supreme leader. I will start my training of the stormtroopers immediately. I will leave them with barely any food in harsh conditions as Luke did to his apprentices until they became strong. We will become strong!”

Then, Kylo ren walked out of Snoke’s dark temple and told all the stormtroopers that he would be taking over and their training started.

“You! HA! Even I am older than you! You are too young to be our leader!” A stormtrooper yelled

Kylo started choking him using the force after waiting 10 seconds to create suspense. He brought the stormtrooper up in the air and crushed his throat with the force.

“Wow, Feels good to kill! Anyone else want to project their doubt in me because of my age!” Kylo yelled.

“You can’t do that to my friend! I will kill you!” Another stormtrooper yelled.

Then, He shot his blaster at kylo ren but kylo stopped the shot while it was in mid air. He then used the force to hold the stormtrooper still. He took the stormtroopers lightsaber which was red.

“All of you… Do not move or face the consequences I will be back” Kylo yelled with absolute seriousness and then went into another room.

He sat the lightsaber on a table and began taking it apart and messing with the wiring and structure of the saber. He started to flip pages in ancient books until finding a perfect design for what he wanted to build dating back to the scourge of malachor. He used a single cracked Kyber crystal, barely able to contain the weapon's power, and necessitated the lateral vents which diverted the extra heat produced by the crystal to either side of the hilt, and gave the lightsaber’s red plasma blades an unstable, serrated appearance. Then, His lightsaber was born. A crossguard blade lightsaber that would incite fear unto all opponents.

He went back into the room with the stormtroopers where they were all waiting. The shot that came from the blaster was still there, as was the still stormtrooper.

“Thank you… You gave me the motivation to create the greatest weapon any sith has ever wielded. The crossguard lightsaber.” Kylo said with half a grin on his face.

He turned the saber on with a jolt and slung it through the chest of the stormtrooper who felt the need to stand up for his friend.

“Allegiance is necessary for survival here. You all will obey or die.”

Chapter 3

Two years later…

“The day has come where we must fight kylo ren and his people!” A hooded man yelled. “We must revolt. Two years ago he was the then unknown apprentice of Luke Skywalker! Now, He is an infamous cold blooded killer!” The hooded man continued.

“Who are you to voice your opinion? You are just another coward in a hood who thinks he is a jedi!” A man in the crowd shouted.

“Who am I… Who am I… I am just an old friend of the force. All will be revealed in the coming days!” The hooded man shouted.

“You’re not only a coward but a bad liar too!” Another man in the crowd shouted.

“I sense he tells the truth!” A man in a white suit with a mask similar to darth vader and kylo’s helmets said.

“I sense he is strong with the force. He is right regardless. To revolt against the infamous Kylo Ren is necessary before he rises to the occasion and lives up to the legacy of his grandfather. Three decades ago Darth Vader was only defeated because of the light side in him, which I fear Kylo Ren does not have.” The white figure continued.

“Then it is probably a good thing we have a small army to fight him!” A young man in the back shouted.

Then, The young man, with a few hundred people following him, rose to the front, revealing himself to be Andre.

“I was an apprentice to Luke also! I am the adopted son of the legend, Han Solo, and I believed years ago we had to fight against kylo ren. Luke decided that Kylo was too strong and hid! I spent years creating an small army but I succeeded in banding together and training them! Now we must fight!” Andre yelled.

“What is your name son?” Said the hooded man who was strong with the force.

“Andre, and your’s?” Andre replied.

“My name is not necessary!” The hooded man.

“What about your’s?” Andre asked while pointing at the white masked man.

“You can just call me white ren. The knights of ren used to be the name of Luke Skywalker’s group of apprentices until they were killed by kylo and his traitor allies! He took the title of the knights of ren but I shall use it to show that the knights of ren stand for the light side, not the dark side!” The white masked man A.K.A. white ren yelled!

“Well then, I guess we have a galaxy to save!” Lor said.

“You might need some help with that!” an old man shouted from the crowd.

Then, He arose and revealed who he was. The legendary Han Solo! He walked to the front of the crowd and half a dozen others followed him, obviously soldiers.

“The resistance would be happy to help this cause! I will contact General Organa and ask her for reinforcement for your battle. Until then, I will give you a dozen soldiers that I have waiting in my ship and our best pilot! Poe Dameron!” Han Solo yelled with his crackly old voice.

“No they won’t!” a distorted voice said instantly rising his hand to choke han solo with the force.

He started to choke han solo to the point where han’s face was getting red and then he arose revealing himself to be the infamous kylo ren. However, his grip on his father was scattered when andre drove a lightsaber through the side of his chest. It showed that Andre showed weakness over his friends and family which included Ben/Kylo Ren enough to the point that he couldn’t kill him but injure him severely. He had a chance to kill Kylo but he couldn’t do it. That was a decision he would soon regret.

“Remember this Kylo Ren! I am more powerful than you and I always will. I can sense that you're scared. Scared of dying, scared you're not strong enough, scared your father may never forgive you, scared you might not be able to kill the people you used to love. Remember this when you bow down to your sith masters! I can and will kill you! You will have to hope I disappear because deep down you will always know that you are weak compared to me!” Andre said.

Kylo howled at the pain as blood rushed out of his body. Andre, realizing the horrors of what he just did, spared Kylo Ren and allowed Kylo to run back to his ship and the ship quickly lifted off, leaving and moving into the dark abyss of space.

“What the hell were you thinking?” Han solo yelled at his adoptive son Andre.

“What I was doing was saving your ass!” Andre yelled back.

“You almost killed my son! We can bring him back to the light side without violence!” Han spit back.

“What about me… About you… about all of these people. I refuse to put all of these people at risk including you just because you want your son back. Your son is dead. Kylo Ren has been born. Now that I see where you’re priorities are located and what you will sacrifice for your REAL son, I can see that you will be hurt either physically or mentally! It will catch up to you and I am sure it will catch up to others but you refuse to accept it but unwittingly will be hurting hundreds of lives just to save your son from something he cannot escape. The evil he has inside cannot be destroyed but rather withheld!” Andre yelled.

Han was stunned and stuttered a little but stayed mostly silent, having no words to respond as he was obviously taken aback or surprised.

“You all can prepare to battle in the years to come. Find and come up with a plan. As for me, I only have one mission. To finish off Kylo Ren!

Then, Andre started running to his ship and waved off his soldiers, ordering them to stay. He then entered the ship and left while all the citizens and soldiers stood staring, taking in the events that had just transpired and eventually realizing that this was his push into chaos. Not the dark side, but the push into a realm every jedi is encompassed in at one point where in murder and rage are a given. The meaning of this… The transformation to exactly what the person he is facing is, sinking to the level of the opponent. That is when the ultimate final test of the jedi begins. A true jedi will stop and realize what he is doing, while a jedi destined to be a sith while continue in a blind rage with no regrets or thoughts of what he is doing until the transformation cannot be undone.

Chapter 4

“This is not your biggest challenge… But you must go against your greatest enemy. Someone that cannot be defeated with skill or strength. You must defeat andre, but you must use deception and anger to defeat him. He is much more powerful than you, but the jedi makes him weak. You must find his weak spot and use it to hold his arms behind his back, in able to control him. You will have to come up with a plan that captures him but doesn’t defeat him… That holds back the force he contains within.” Snoke beamed in his temple at young Kylo ren.

“I sense he is coming also master but I don’t understand... Do you doubt the leader of the knights of ren?” Kylo ren exclaimed back at snoke.

“Not doubt in you, but rather fear he is too powerful.” Snoke said.

“I will use my hatred of the jedi and my father to finish him off. If I have to, I will use the force to weaken his mind using a mind-trick used mostly by the jedi.” Kylo said.

“How will you take care of him is the question? If I have too I may have to come for him myself if you cannot!” Snoke said.

“I will ironically make him the thing he hates! I have a plan that cannot fail!” Kylo said.

“Well then, we will see in the coming days.” Snoke said.

Then, In an instant, the holographic image of Snoke disappeared and Kylo Ren was left staring at darkness in the temple. A weird thing it was however, because he felt no fear. He felt no sense of urgency. He somehow knew that he would take down Andre and his beliefs in a few flat minutes,

Chapter 5

Andre was in an abandoned building that had been abandoned for years since the years when Luke was going against the sith and his father. He was with the man that called himself white ren with his soldiers which he called the soldiers of ren and with the unknown hooded man who was apparently an old jedi master as well as about 40 soldiers all with different backgrounds and employers that had been convinced by their employers to participate in the battle. They were planning to sneak in to where the first order was located by stealing a first order ship.

First, They would create a distraction that would cause the first order to send a few ships over to check it out and possibly detain some people. Then, They would come to the location where the distraction would not be there anymore and they would be confused. They would search around for a little while and in the meantime they would intercept the signals coming from the ship or ships to stop communication and GPS location and then would use their controlling signals to land the ship remotely. They would then force themselves on and throw anyone on the ship off after shooting them with blasters.

Next, They would use the first order ship to enter their base and would begin battling and taking over the base. Then, while the battle is happening, Andre will enter the chambers of Kylo Ren while White Ren and the hooded man wait a little ways behind him in case he needs backup.

They commenced the plane while having to use some explosives to kill some stormtroopers and took about 21 soldier casualties which were more than expected but regardless Andre managed to get to Kylo Ren’s chamber but he wasn’t there.

Meanwhile, White Ren met Captain Phasma. They started to dual and an expression on the White Ren’s face showed he obviously knew Captain Phasma.

“It’s been awhile hasn’t it! I have missed beating you in duals!” Captain Phasma exclaimed.

“Screw you, Anyana!” White Ren exclaimed.

“I can’t believe I ever loved you!” White Ren continued.

“Yea, and I can’t believe you fell for that. Of course I never loved you! You're just a dirty scavenger!”  Captain Phasma yelled.

Then, White ren started using the force to choke her and brought her up in the air where through the stormtrooper mask he could see her eyes that projected the fact that she was surprised by what he had just done.

“I am strong with the force… You don’t even know me. You’re just a stormtrooper with chrome armor. As for me, I am a product of the sith. Not because of a mother or father, but rather because of the fact that my family was killed by Emperor Palpatine before he was killed decades ago!” White ren exclaimed.

“I am different than the rest because I believe in justice but I am not afraid to kill!” White Ren continued.

Then, He continued for about a minute before letting phasma go. Phasma was still alive but was severely injured.

“When the light side awakens fully, you will see me again.” White ren exclaimed.

Chapter 6

Andre could not find Kylo Ren anywhere. He waited for a while in Kylo’s quarters with no avail. As such, He left and found a door that lead down a dark corridor to an even darker temple where he could hear two people talking. He saw a big giant head which he instantly knew was a projection. Andre instantly knew that it was Snoke and it just made him even more mad about the first order. Rage started to control him. He thought Snoke was a coward.

“At least all the other emperors visited their apprentices in person!” Andre whispered to himself.

Then, Rage began to overtake him and he came out from the shadows. He knew what he had to do.

“You should have taken the last time I beat your ass as a warning!” Andre yelled.

Then, a buzz suddenly echoed over the dark temple. It was the sound of a lightsaber being turned on. Andre’s lightsaber. He laughed as he approached Kylo ren. Kylo ren turned around and almost fell, startled.

“Join me! I can see the rage in you, Andre. I know we don’t get along well but the cause I fight for is so much bigger than who I do and don’t like. You have untapped potential. You need a master to bring out your dark side!” Kylo ren yelled

“I already was taught by the greatest master in the galaxy! Luke Skywalker! Obviously his teachings had no effect on you whatsoever but he did on me. As a matter of fact I have his lightsaber right here! You didn’t even recognize it did you?” Andre jokingly exclaimed.

“That lightsaber is my family heirloom! It belonged to the great darth vader and It will belong to the great Kylo Ren in a few short minutes!” Kylo Ren exclaimed.

Then, the dual began. They swung and swung and it seemed like a fair and equal battle. It lasted for minutes until Kylo Ren said something.

“How does it feel to be in the shadow of me! You’re my father’s fake son! You’re Luke’s second priority apprentice! It’s like you are… Just another stormtrooper!” Kylo ren yelled.

Then, He started to use the force on Andre. Andre started to yell and sweat and couldn’t control himself.

“You can’t kill me can you! HA! You are a stormtrooper now! You were a stormtrooper trained from birth. You are loyal and obedient and have many stormtrooper friends that you would never betray by leaving the first order!” Kylo yelled.

“Never would I become a stormt… I am a stormtrooper now! I was a stormtrooper trained from birth. I am loyal and obedient and have many stormtrooper friends that I would never betray by leaving the first order.” Andre said.

“You are FN-2187 and you are enlisted under your military leader, Captain Phasma!” Kylo ren continued.

“I am FN-2187 and I am enlisted under my military leader, Captain Phasma.” Andre repeated.

Then, He took the shoulder of Andre and put him on a spaceship. He asked half a dozen stormtroopers to follow him and they took off as they had to get out of there before someone came for andre. They started to drive through the desert when andre began to resist.

“I may have lost but you will never have your grandfather’s lightsaber. I will see you in your nightmares!” Andre screamed.

Then, He threw the lightsaber out the window into the desert abyss before Kylo Ren could use the force to stop it and it fell into the desert abyss where it would remain for many years.

“Noooooo!” Kylo yelled.

Then, Andre’s eyes became vacant for the time being. His mind was being changed to form his stormtrooper background.

“Stormtroopers, put on his armor and helmet. Then, We will commence the mind-trick to wipe your memory of this event. You must never know the truth of who FN-2187 is!” Kylo exclaimed.

Then, They put his helmet on and his armor and FN-2187 was born.

Epilogue

“Sir, they've taken out our turbolasers”. A soldier said, explaining how a resistance fighter and stormtrooper where getting away.

“Use the ventral cannons.” General Hux said.

“Yes sir. Bringing them online.” The Soldier said

“General Hux, is it the Resistance pilot?” The soldier continued.

“Yes, and he had help.” General Hux answered.

“From one of our own.” General Hux continued.

“We are checking the registers now to identify which Stormtrooper it was.” The soldier exclaimed.

“The one from the village.” Kylo Ren interrupted.

“FN-2187.”
