Hey guys. Told you I'd be back. Look, I need a Beta. I'm having a little trouble with spelling. With only a phone to use to publish, it's very hard to find them. But to the point. This chapter is dedicated to my aunt. For reasons known, I can't tell you guys anything about my personal life. Now, unfortunately, I live in Florida and God hates us. Matthew's hitting us twice and it could be a while.
Now, obviously, I don't own Star Wars, even though I wish I did. Only things I take credit for are the changes in the story.
Old Friends Reunited Ch.3
Rey's POV:
Rey woke up to find BB-8 staring at the sun. She yawned and said "Come on. We got to start early if we want to get good salvage."
She grabbed her net and walked to her speeder with BB-8 trailing behind her. Together, they set off for the Salvage Valley.
A few hours later, Rey unhooked their day's salvage along with BB-8 from the speeder. BB-8 drooped sadly, but Rey said "You can't give up. He may still come back, whoever you're waiting for."
After BB-8 beeped, she said "Classified, right. I know all about waiting."
After the droid booped a question, she said "For my family. They'll be back. One day. Come on."
She walked over to Unkar's trading post and hoisted her salvage up to his counter.
She waited impatiently as his grubby hands hovered over her salvage. He said in a grumbling voice "These pieces are worth... one half portion."
Rey replied with a hint of anger "Last week, they would've been a half portion each."
He ignored her and asked "What about the droid?"
He was eyeing BB-8 with a stare that almost had the droid leaking oil. Rey looked down at BB-8 and asked "What about it?"
Unkar grunted and said "I'll pay for him."
He reached under his desk and dumped a large number of packets next to the one he already gave her. With a voice filled with confidence, he said "60 portions."
Rey looked at the pile hungrily and put her hands around the packages, her mouth salivating with hunger.
Then she looked at BB-8 and saw him looking at her sympathetically. As she weighed her options, she let go of the pile and said "I'm sorry, but the droid's not for sale."
She picked up her salvage share and hurried off with BB-8 on her tail. Behind her, Unkar pulled the packages back down into his office and pulled a communicator out.
He spoke into it "Follow the girl and get that droid," as he pulled the shutter to his trading post closed.
Finn's POV:
Finn tried to carefully walk down the near vertical sandy slope, but the lump he was standing on went loose and he started to tumble. He started rolling like a ball and he was saying "Ouch! Oh! My head! Motherfucker! My ass!" all the way down.
When he finally stopped rolling, he felt the world spinning, vomit coming up, and said "This is not gonna taste good."
He then puked everything he had in his stomach on to the sand.
After he finished puking his guts up, he ran over to the spaceport and starting asking for water. One by one, the shop keepers either said no or aimed a gun at him. As he gave up, he heard the musical sound of water splashing behind him. Spinning around, he saw some animal that was about the size of a dropship! It had numerous tusks with the nose of a pig, with fat that looked like it was stolen from 3 rancors! Especially around the back, but back to the point! This fat tub of lard animal was shoving its face into a large pool of water!
Finn ran over and started lapping up the water. After a while and a lot of water, the animal noticed him and shoved Finn out of it's drinking hole. When he got up, thirst satisfied, he went around looking around for a pilot. As he looked around, he heard the beep-boop of a droid. Turning around, he saw a round droid with orange markings. Poe's droid! When he saw who was walking alongside it, he saw a girl wearing white robes with near black hair which was tied up in several buns.(I'm a guy, I don't know hair!) As he watched, a couple Tuskan raiders came up behind them. One of them tapped the girl on the shoulder and the other tried to put the droid into a bag! The girl turned and tried to stop him, but the first one grabbed her from behind and restrained her.
Just before Finn was about to run over to help, the girl delivered a back-kick into the first Raider and delivered a hard swing from her staff to the second. As she tried to get the bag off the droid, the first one reached to stab her with his blade. But, before he did, she sent her staff up into his head and he collapsed unconscious. Finn watched the hole thing unfold and when she took the bag off the droid, it saw him. It started beeping and the girl looked at Finn before asking "Him?"
Finn looked around for any other person she could be talking about and when he looked back towards her, he saw the girl running towards him with a look of furious determination on her!
Considering the fact that she took down two raiders on her own with nothing but a stick, Finn decided not to mess with her and run like hell to fight another day. So he did. He ran, dodged, and weaved his way through the market. Just when he thought he lost her, he rounded a corner and ran into a swinging staff! The girl pinned him down with her staff and said "Where's your honor, thief?"
Confused, Finn asked "Theif?"
Just then, the droid voiced his thoughts by zapping Finn with a taser.
Yelling, he said "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Once again, the droid voiced his opinion by zapping Finn in the leg again.
Wincing in pain, Finn yelled at the droid "Stop it!"
The girl said "The jacket. Where did you get it? It belongs to his master."
Realizing it was Poe's droid, he said "It was Poe Dameron's. That's his name, isn't it? He was captured by the First Order. I tried to help him, but we were shot down. Poe didn't make it."
The droid dropped its head mournfully and rolled off. The girl looked down at Finn and asked "Are you with the Resistance?"
He hesitated for a moment, brushed himself off, and tried to say convincingly "Yes. I'm with the Resistance. I am with the Resistance."
She said "BB-8 said he needs to get to your base."
Finn replied "Apparently, he has a map to Luke Skywalker."
She turned to him, eyes filled with wonder, and whispered "Luke Skywalker? The Luke Skywalker? I thought he was a myth."
Before he could explain, Finn saw a flash of white armor. When he went over to investigate, he saw two stormtroopers talking to a merchant who pointed their direction! Grabbing the girl's hand, he said "Run. Run, right now! Come on, BB-8!"
They started sprinting through the market, dodging the laser blasts coming at them, and Finn lead them into one of the tents. The girl looked around and said "They're shooting at both of us!"
Finn nodded and said "Yeah, they saw you with me. You've been marked."
She replied sarcastically "Well, thanks for that!"
He shook his head and said "Doesn't anybody have any weapons he-"
He stopped and kneeled next to the girl as he heard something familiar. The roar of TIE fighters!
As he grabbed the girl's hand again, to which she said "Stop taking my hand!", he pulled her out the tent just as TIE fighters blasted the tent to dust. Wrenching her hand from Finn, she ran towards the shipyard. Finn followed her and shouted "We can't outrun them!"
She shouted back to him while pointing to a ship "We might, in that quad jumper!"
Finn tried to catch up, but a TIE fighter had him ducking as he shouted "We need a pilot!"
The scavenger said "We have one!"
Finn looked at her and asked "You?" As he ran, he saw another ship to their right and asked "What about that ship?!"
She looked and replied "That ship's garbage."
Just then, a TIE fighter launched a missle to the jumper. The girl stopped running as the jumper went up in a roar of fire and said "The garbage will do."
So they ran to an old Corellian freighter with twin blasters on top and bottom of it, laser marks from who knows when, and a rebellion symbol on the hull.
Rey's POV
Rey ran to the cockpit while the rebel went to the gun turrets. As she prepped the systems, she whispered to herself "I can do this, I can do this."
As the ship lifted off, it went past Unkar Plutt, who was waving and shaking his arms in obvious fury. As the ship rocketed towards the sky, the rebel shouted "Stay down! Stay low, it confuses their tracking!"
Rey shook her head, but shouted at BB-8 "Hold on, BB-8! I'm going low!"
She thrust her hand forward and watched as the ship got very close to the ground, and pulled up, almost scraping the ground! She got as close to the ground as she could get and had to pull off some hairpin maneuvers to avoid the sand dunes.
Just then, laser fire jerked the entire ship! She shouted back to the rebel "What are you doing back there?! Are you ever gonna fire back?!"
He shouted over the gunfire "We need cover!"
She saw the trademark metal yards and replied "We're about to get some! I hope."
She whispered the last part to herself. She pulled a sharp right into the Salvage Valley and she heard the rebel finally fire back. As she weaved through the destroyed scrap yards and TIE fighters split up, she heard the sound of laser fire followed by a crashing ship. She looked to the left and saw it tossing and turning into the sand. Smiling, she said "Good shot!"
Then a laser blast came out of nowhere as the other TIE fighter came back. She heard the rebel say "The gun's stuck in foward position! You gotta lose him."
Rey thought of that and smiled as she came up with an idea. She shouted "Get ready! Here we go."
She pulled a left into a Star Destroyer and the rebel shouted "Are we really doing this?!"
Rey had to keep her mouth shut and hands on the controls as she tried to move the ship around the destroyed corridors of the giant starship. When they got outside with the fighter still on their tail, Rey put them in a nose dive and shut off the engines! As the rebel caught sight of the TIE fighter in the reticule, he let loose the cannons and watched as the TIE fighter was blown apart. Just before they hit the ground, Rey turned the engines back on and pulled with all her strength! The freighter rocketed through the air triumphant!
Kylo Ren's POV:
Ren waited for Hux to give him the report on the bridge of the Finalizer. He looked down at something in his palm. It was a wooden chipped project he and Rey did. It was shaped like a bird's wing. He and Rey both had one. He had the right black one with a white feather and she had the left white one with a black feather. He had hoped to at least find Reys if he couldn't find her. He never did.
Snoke believed he had turned Ren, but it was not true. He only joined the First Order to escape all the rules and boundaries of the Jedi Order that his uncle put together. He wanted one thing in the entire galaxy. A normal life, but that was impossible since everyone knew he was the grandson of the most terrifying individual the galaxy has ever known, Darth Vader. Rey was the only one besides his family who saw past that. She didn't care. Probably because she never knew her parents.
Luke had found her as a toddler on the steps of the temple he made. Soon after, she and Ben had been introduced. Once they met, they were inseparable. That is, until he drove her away. He looked down at the wing with sorrow until he heard footsteps approaching. He quickly stuffed the necklace into his robes as he impatiently said "Report."
The officer gulped before saying "The droid managed to evade our scouts. It took a Corellian freighter and shot down two fighters."
Smiling beneath his mask, Ren asked with humor "The droid... stole a freighter?"
The officer rubbed his hands together as he said "We think it had help. We believe FN-2187 aided the droid's escape."
As soon as he finished, Ren ignited his tri-saber and started slashing through the computers in rage. When he was finished, he asked "Anything else?"
The officer hesitated before saying "They were seen escaping with a girl-"
Before he finished, Ren pulled the officer towards him with the Force until he had his hand on the officer's throat and asked with rage "What girl?"
Finn's POV:
Finn climbed out of the pilot seat and ran over to the cockpit. He met the girl halfway and they started complimenting each other. The girl then asked "What's your name?"
He replied "Finn."
She smiled and said "I'm Rey."
The moment didn't last long. Gas came out of the floor in a geyser while Rey ran over to it.
Finn asked "What is it?"
Rey went down into the floor and said "There's a leak."
Finn asked "How bad is it?"
Rey looked and said "If we want to live, not good."
She pointed tools out and he handed them to her. She said "I need coordinates. Where's your base?"
Finn's blood went cold and he turned to BB-8 and said "You need to tell her."
The droid warbled and Finn said "I don't speak that. Look, I'm not with the resistance."
At this, the BB-8 rolled back, but Finn said "I'm just trying to get away from the First Order." The droid turned away, but Finn whispered "Droid, please!"
Rey asked again and Finn said "Go on, BB-8, tell her."
BB-8 looked back and forth between Rey and him until Finn mouthed "Please" again. Finally giving in, the droid gave up the coordinates.
Rey asked "The Ileenian system?"
Finn confirmed it and gave BB-8 a thumbs up. The droid replied by giving him it's version of the middle finger. Just then, the ship was hit by something. They ran up to the bridge and Finn looked as what looked like the Finalizer. He whispered "It's the First Order. Hey, what about that gas leak?"
Rey shook her head and said "I fixed that."
Finn asked "Can you unfix it?"
They ran to the floor panel and lowered themselves in. First Finn, then BB-8,who crushed Finn, then Rey. Finn grabbed the grate and pulled it on top as he heard Stormtroopers coming.
He whispered "Hurry, Rey." Just then, the last door opened and Finn ducked down to put his gas mask on.
Before Rey turned on the gas, he heard "Chewie. We're home."
Tada! I hope you like this chapter and plz review me. Next chapter may be before or after next episode of A New Future. See ya!
