Author's Note: This story will not be about what I think will happen in Episode 8, but more of a what if story. If this does well I will continue this story, and if support continues I will write an episode 9, based off of my episode 8 story version. Thank you, and enjoy. Major spoilers of Episode XII if you haven't seen it yet. And btw Finn will, also be force sensitive in this story. (And idk why you're reading this story if you haven't watched the movie.)

Rey stood frozen in place on the grassy mountain. She was amazed. Words could not find the exit of her mouth. She held the lightsaber out to the Jedi master, Luke Skywalker.

Luke's stern look turned into a slight grin. He walked over to her slowly as she still held the lightsaber out to him. He accepted it from her hand. Luke examined the saber from top to bottom. His eyes widened once he realized that the Saber he was holding was his own.

"Where did you get this?" He asked bewildered.

So that was his voice. Calming, but at the same time stern. She was still in utter shock. Rey finally started to force the words out of her mouth.

"I-I found it on the planet of Takodana. In the castle of Maz Kanata. It called to me. Showed me visions." Rey said, quickly ending her speech as if she was being forced to tell him.

"Visions of what?" he asked

"I honestly can't tell you." She said

He looked up from the weapon. "Do you know what this is?... And who it belongs too?"

"It's a lightsaber." She told him.

"Yes. The weapon of the Jedi." Luke breathed in heavily. "This was my old saber, and my father's before me." He explained

He sighed, "Why are you here, and what's your name?"

She took a breath in, attempting to calm herself, "My name is Rey, and I'm from the Resistance."

"Leia sent you, didn't she?" Luke chuckled. "I guess this means you found the other part of the map."

Rey nodded. "It was harder than you would believe to find it."

"I don't doubt it." Luke said

"I also came here for a teacher, a master of the force." There was a pause. "I can use the force, just like you or any other Jedi. My friend can too." Rey told him

"I can't teach you. Or anyone else." Luke said to her, sitting down on a nearby rock.

"Why not?" She asked him, "You're the only Jedi in the galaxy, the universe!? You have to teach me."

"I can't teach you after what I did. I can't look Leia or Han in the eyes. I failed them." He sulked.

She sighed, "Han's dead."

He looked at her stunned, "How?!" he asked.

"Kylo killed him." She said bluntly.

"His name is Ben, Ben Kenobi Solo. Kylo is the fake name that dreaded Sith gave him."

Luke looked at her and returned to his silent state.

Rey walked over to him and crouched in front of him, "Please…" She asked desperately waiting for an answer.

She sighed. "You can't be afraid of the past, or the future will never change." Trying to convince him. She knew why he wouldn't teach her. Kylo was his old student, and his fear of this happening again was too much for him.

Again, nothing. He threw his hood over his face and was covered by his cloak's hood. All she could see was his white and grey beard that held a straight face that expressed no emotion.

Rey started to feel tears in her eyes. She stood up, and waited a few seconds more for a response. She finally just started slowly walking away. She couldn't describe the feeling. She was furious, depressed, saddened, disappointed, angry, any negative emotion you could comprehend. A few steps in to her walk she looked back around. Luke was now standing but he was looking away from her at the edge of the rock and into the sky, like how he was when she walked up in the first place.

Her long walk back to the ship was dreadful. Halfway, she finally collapsed and started to cry. What was she going to tell Leia, and Finn, and Poe, all of which had sacrificed something trying to find the map to Luke? She thought to herself. He just said no?

Rey of course got up and continued her long walk back to the Millennium Falcon.

She finally had the ship in sight. Chewbacca was working on something o the exterior of the ship while R2 stood close. Chewie quickly realized her and walked to her as she got close to the ship. R2 closely followed.

Chewbacca half expected Luke to be with her. He quickly realized that was not going to happen. Chewie looked down to her and realized she was crying.

Chewie put his big long arms around her and put her into a bear hug. He started quietly groaning, trying to comfort her by doing so. A few moments later, R2 started going crazy. Creating the loudest beeps and whistles he possibly could. Chewbacca looked up and roared. Rey turned around to see Luke walking down the path toward the Falcon.

Rey was speechless. How had she convinced him to come back?

He walked up to her and handed her the lightsaber back. "You're right. I can't be afraid of the past. That's why I will teach you, and any other who possesses your power." He said with a grin.

Rey was speechless, "So when do we start?!" she exclaimed.

"When we return to the resistance. My days of hiding are over. I must return with you, and I will teach you the ways of the Jedi once we do."

"Thank you." She told him.

"No, thank you." Luke said back

Chewie roared in excitement and grabbed Luke and started rubbing his head furiously with his large fist.

"I missed you too Chewbacca." Luke said, with a big smile. R2 came beeping up to Luke.

"Yes, you too R2." Luke said to R2

R2's beeps made it obvious he was proud of his accomplishment, but also glad to see his master Luke.

They all made their way onto the Falcon, and placed themselves into the cockpit. Rey and Chewie prepped the ship for takeoff.

Chewie took them into the atmosphere, and Rey flipped the switch that finally sent them into hyperspace.

At the Resistance base:

Finn lie in a coma in the med bay, due to the injuries sustained in the last battle his body was put into shock. He was dressed in a loose white medical robe. The doctors would check his vital signs every 10 minutes, of course under extreme watch due to his injuries.

Outside the room was General Organa and the nurses assigned to watch over him.

"I want you to notify me as soon he wakes." Leia told the nurses urgently as she walked away, dealing with equally important business.

As a nurse then entered the room to simply change the I.V. fluid, Finn jumped up from the table. He breathed heavily, almost like he had been held underwater a long time.

"Calm yourself. You just awoke from a coma." The nurse told him

"How long was I out?!" Finn asked

"Not long. Only a little more than a day." The nurse answered. "I'll be back soon." The nurse told him, running to tell General Organa.

Finn sat up on the table, and immediately tried to turn to face the door. As he moves, his arm more so his shoulder, burned with pain, along with his back.

Leia entered the room, "Thank the force you're awake."

"Where's Rey?" Finn asked, worried.

"Don't worry, she's fine. She is on her way to find Luke Skywalker."

Finn was relieved, but at the same time he was saddened.

"She wanted to wait for you to wake and take you along, but I convinced her to hurry and go along. I'm sorry." Leia explained.

"I understand." Finn told her.

"How's my number one co-pilot!?"

Poe entered the room and sat down next to Finn. "How ya' feelin'?"

"I've definitely been better." Finn smiled. They exchanged a couple laughs.

Finn's face turned to seriousness and he turned to Leia, "I need to get to Rey and Skywalker. As soon as possible."

"Agreed, but you'll need a pilot." She said

"Oh, I'd love to." Poe said out of nowhere.

"Are you serious? You don't mind!?" Finn asked him.

"Of course not." Poe said, wrapping his arm around Finn's shoulder, which actually hurt Finn but tried not to make it look like it hurt.

"Well come on, we gotta go get a ship prepped." Poe said standing up.

"I don't know, Finn needs rest." Leia told Poe

"I'm fine…" Finn said before he attempted to get up. As soon as he stood, his legs almost buckled, and he grabbed ahold the table for support. Leia stood up quickly ready to grab hime, and Poe jumped from the door.

Finn held up his hand, assuring them he's fine.

Poe smiled, "We'll need a two manned fighter, but not a B-wing. Those are too slow. At least for me they are."

"We might have something that fits your requirements." Leia grinned.

One hour later:

The workers outside now prepared a new Advanced X-wing. A version of the original fighter that held a co-pilot, which made navigation much easier. The co-pilot would sit behind and backwards to the pilot. This would give him navigation abilities and during battle would allow him the ability fire a rear gun at opposing fighters.

The ship was finally prepped, and Poe and Finn were finally ready for takeoff. They said their goodbye's to General Organa and entered the X-wing.

Poe started pressing buttons and flipping switches, while Finn was the back, clueless on what to do.

Poe was pretty sure this fighter was in the battle only a little more than a day ago, but it seemed fine. Poe soon lifted off and they were over the big grassy fields of the planet.

As soon as they entered the atmosphere, Finn noticed a flashing red button, "Hey Poe, this thing supposed to be flashing?"

"What does it look like?" Poe asked.

"Just a red flashing button. That's it"

"Well, if it was important, I'm sure I would see it up here too." Poe assured him.

"Ok, ok." Finn said trying to calm himself.

"Alright, prepare fo-", Poe was cut off by a force hitting against the ship.

"What the hell was that?" Finn asked

"It seemed like another ship just came out of hyper-space right next to us." Poe explained

"Is it Resistance or First Order?" Finn asked frantically?

"I couldn't tell, your all eyes." Poe said

Finn looked outside his small window trying to find a ship in the vicinity. He couldn't believe it.

"Yo Poe, turn around!" Finn exclaimed

"What why?" Poe asked

"Because that was the Falcon! That was Rey, and Skywalker must be with her!"

Poe didn't need to hear anymore. He immediately turned around. And made his way back to the planet.

For Finn, things got worse. The light was still flashing, only now an annoyingly loud beep came along with it.

"I seriously think something is wrong." Finn told Poe

"I'm starting to agree with you." Poe said examining his gauges. To his surprise, engines were losing power.

"This could be a rough landing." Poe said

"Aw great." Finn said sarcastically.

At the base:

People saw the Falcon coming in for a landing. Everyone around had emotions of worry, happiness, relieved, and many other's. The Falcon landed.

Leia stood in front of the now landed Millennium Falcon. The ramp lowered slower than it ever had before. Walking down first was Chewie, a little surprised by everyone surrounding the Falcon. He released a small roar.

Finally, the hooded figure made walked down the ramp. Behind him was Rey and R2. Luke removed his hood, revealing the long grey hair and beard. He instantly saw his sister, Leia.

She approached him and pulled him into a hug. "I've missed you so much."

Luke said nothing and looked into his sister's eyes, "I'm sorry."

Leia knew what he was talking about. He was talking about Ben. "Stop. Stop blaming yourself for what happened. Like I told Han, it's no one's fault except Snoke."

Luke contemplated on this, until Rey walked and the rest walked up.

"Thank you." Leia told Rey.

Rey nodded, "Is Finn awake?" she asked quickly.

Leia instantly remembered, "Finn woke up a couple hours ago." Leia explained.

Rey's face turned into a smile.

"But as soon as he woke up, He and Poe decided to go off and find you. I gave them the coordinates and everything."

Rey went from a smile to worry. She was worried that they didn't know she had already returned. How long would it take for them to realize that she and Luke were already back?

A repairman for the fighters then came running up to Leia. "General, the fighter those two soldiers took was apparently damaged. The fuel line was punctured. If they don't land soon their engines will overheat or even explode due to lack of fuel being transmitted to the engines."

Her eyes widened, "Well try and contact them on long range comms!" She yelled.

"We are, we are. We are getting no response."

Luke looked up to the sky. "They aren't on long range comms." He said

"How do you know?" Rey asked

"They're right there." Luke pointed.

They saw an X-wing in the distance, which was emitting large amounts of smoke from two of the four engines.

"Try short range communications!" the worker yelled to his group.

Everyone then scrambled to their positions, awaiting an impact, an impact that could require help if things took a turn for the worse.

On the comms, Poe was trying to explain the problem to the ground team, but it was already obvious what was wrong. All they could do was try and tell him what to do, but Poe had a pretty good idea.

"I'm gonna take her down in the water." Poe told Finn

"What! What if we can't get the cockpit open!?" Finn yelled

"We'll just… uhh..worry about that later."

"Brace for impact!" Poe yelled.

"Shit." Finn murmured.

They made contact with the water. Both of them easily felt it. Poe looked up, and to his surprise, they were pretty close to the shore. Finn raised his head from his hands, "Are we alive?"

"Never better." Poe said, raising the hood of the fighter.

Everyone near the landing platform looked to see if the X-wing made it without blowing up. They could make out the figure of the X-wing, but they couldn't see Poe or Finn due to the large amounts of smoke. Soon enough of course, the saw Poe exit the ship.

Rey made a mad dash to the ship, behind her a few medical staff.

"FINN!" She yelled running towards the downed X-wing, awaiting his response. When she got closer she could see Poe return to the ship, and in his hand was Finn's as he pulled him from his seat and the wreckage. Finn put his arm around Poe as the limped away from the wreckage.

Finn looked up to see Rey running towards them. He stopped Poe and started to walk on his own. Rey immediately jumped in his arms and embraced him. Finn almost couldn't hold her due to the pain in his shoulder and back, but he was able to manage.

"God, don't ever do that again." She said to Finn.

Finn debated saying something, but he decided to just forget it and enjoy this moment.

"I'm so glad you're ok." She said

"I am too." He told her.
