I do not own Star Wars
Chapter II
Across the galaxy the Finalizer cut through space with what was left of the assembly from Starkiller, the ship making their why back to a random based in a close sector. Kylo Ren's quite appearance on top the bridge seemed so unfitting for the Sith. He was a sleeping volcano that could blow at any minute. Most of the crew paid the young Sith no mind as they scrambled to reorganized and categorize their losses.
Kylo simply stared and the longer he thought the angrier he became…
It was suppose to be simple, kill his father and his training to the dark side would be complete. Then he would become on step closer to the powerful Lord his grandfather once was. He pleaded forgiveness for his weakness and failure but it wasn't enough.
It would not happen again. He was determined now, his Master more sighted on Rey, the little scavenger's little win had caught the eye of Snoke. He was determined to have her power, like Kylo's wasn't enough. His non-autoable snort could have labeled him jealous.
"She is powerful with the Force my apprentice." His hologram glitches as the ship had hit rough turbulence that day.
Kylo bent at the knee his masked head hung low for respect to his Maser. "Yes, my Supreme Leader but there is too much good…she couldn't be control. She learned her Jedi mind tricks in the span of her captivity. The scavenger blocked me within minutes-"
"FOR YOU ARE WEAK BOY!" The booming voice interrupting his reasons. "Bring the girl to me, where she will learn the true power of the Dark Side. It would be wise to remember you are still an apprentice Lord Ren."
"Yes, Master," he mumbled his agitation building.
"I sense great anxiety within you my fledgling. Remember let the pain flow through you use it to guide your power only then will you gain control. Use your anger."
"Yes, my Master"
"Do not fail me again." With that the holo flickered out and once again Kylo was left utterly alone.
Now Kylo made it his primary mission searching for the girl. He had no doubt she had reached Skywalker by noe. Quite honestly it was becoming obsessive for him as well. He could feel her. He sensed her pain, the grieving, the anger she had towards the world. Kylo even caught glimpse of what she saw, at times, if he felt like deep meditation. Yet it exhausted him to no end and he ended up just not trying. She was a mystery to him Rey held all the signs of a growing Sith and great asset to the Dark side, yet when she was held captive for her short time her light burn. At times it was the only thing Kylo could see. The bright pure light that was her goodness blinded him but she was so angry…
A young crew officer approached him the young boy tried to remain calm in the presence of the dark monster.
"My Lord we just received intel of a possible Resistance base in a near by sector. General Hux wants to presume the lead."
"How accurate is this information?" The Jedi knew the Resistance enough that this could be a possible trick to give them more time to move. He knew General Organa liked her own tactics.
"A personal insider has come forward with a location sir, the General found no harm to check it out."
That caught his attention a mole within the Resistance? Down has fallen the loyal Resistance he thought to himself. They always prided themselves for their morals of good. It pleased Kylo there was a willing snitch amongst them.
"Tell the General to set his courses I want Captain Phasma to meet me at the shuttle."
"Yes, my Lord."
Rey woke the next morning on the cushion bench of the Millennium Falcon. They had set out shortly after Rey's little melt down Luke didn't want to waste anymore time that could be spent getting to Leia. When they entered the Falcon that morning Luke and Chewy embraced for a moment. The Wookie howled in excitement and the sight of his lost friend.
"Good to see you too Chewy. You still fly this junk?" Luke teased, rubbing the hood of a very excited R2-D2.
Chewy howled and shrugged as he guided his old friend aboard and into the cockpit.
"The old pirate could never let it go…" that was where Rey left them to caught up and give herself a little need nap before they hit base again. R2 sat with her for a little while till she decided to check on their progress. For the cockpit being so small she was surprised how Chewy didn't really take up a lot of unnecessary space. She sat behind Luke and enjoyed the sight of witnessing Luke Skywalker driving the Millennium Falcon. She was sure Han would've gotten a kick out of it. The Wookie chortled a quick hello to Rey before turning back to the controls.
"What's our status?" Peering curiously over her new Master's shoulders at the Falcon's navigation tools.
"For this old hunk of junk I'm surprised she's lasted this long. Sadly she needs full. Chewy says there is a nearby Resistance station we can full up which will take use all the way to our destination." His voice was so calming and matter-a-fact.
Rey nodded this ship ate gas, how Han did most of his long smuggling adventures was beyond her. Sadness filled her once more. Rey need to stop thinking about the cheesy yet passionate man, it hurt all too much.
When they came into view of the planet she was puzzled. It reminded her of Jakku, the planet showing no signs of green vegetation or lakes of water anywhere. Just a very tan planet.
"What is the name of this planet?" She asked Luke.
The Jedi Master sighed, "Tatooine."
When they landed Luke stayed on the shuttle to remain hidden Tatooine was full of spies and crooks to the First Order, staying anonymous till the right time was only best. Chewy did most of the outside repair work while Rey did all the talking. The Resistance didn't make it easy to find them but once they did filling was no problem.
Everything was going according to plan till she felt the earth move. At first she thought it could be the planet. No, it didn't feel deep within the compressed sand. She reached out with the Force and found the vibrations only grazing the surface. Curious she used the Force to dig a little deeper till she was knocked down by an invisible Force. It was dark and his mask flashed in her vision before disappearing again. Opening her eyes to find Luke in front of her concerned but calm.
"We need to leave now," his voice more urgent. She nodded in compliance still in shock by the sudden blow. He wasn't the only one that had grown stronger after their last encounter. They were making there way up the ramp when they began to here the ringing of blasters and screaming villagers outside the base.
They had been found.
"Quick inside!" Luke ordered. R2 beeped wildly as he was one of the first to make it up the ramp. Chewy growled in annoyance and pointed his blaster at a Clonetropper that happen to penetrate the walls then fired. Red beams were starting to become prominent as they sealed the ramp and headed for the cockpit lifting up their shield and begun to take off. Then the engine stalled.
Chewy bellowed an angry yell banging his large fists into the cockpit panel. Rey too action and ran to the engine duct bellow the hidden compartments. Smoke made visibility hard pulling up her tunic to breath through the thick cloth. She need to hurry she could sense him he was drawing near as she wasted precious time. She took a large wrench and started closing the large the loose bolts around the pipe. Her breathing was becoming shallow as her body tired to keep up with the demand. Something was feeding her tired muscles with strength she was close-
Then she felt it, a hum of familiar electricity. In a sudden movement red light pierced the smoky chamber as the point of light became noticeable between her spreed feet. The lightsaber's tip just as deadly as its master. Thankfully, he had only pierced through sheets of metal and nothing important. In Rey's last moments of strength she hit the engine and it sprung to life.
Chewy waste no time and the Millennium Falcon surged into hyper-drive before he hit Tatooine's atmosphere. Her lungs began to contract the heat beating slower.
After one cough Rey's world became black
