Last On: Ben returns to camp with Rey. They have an argument about Luke before going to sleep. Ben gives Rey back the Lightsaber.
Update: I've added "Last On" sections to each chapter, just to help you follow the story. They are very brief, I hope they help.
Some of this chapter takes place while the previous chapters are occuring, but I hope their are enough clues to help you follow it all.
Chapter 9
Earlier That Day:
"Alright everyone, Rey is landing now. They will be ready soon," Luke announced to a group of former Jedi, who stood gathered in the other relm.
Suddenly everyone appeared in the relm of the living, surrounding a pair of Force Sensitives, who stood transfixed by the sight of each other. Then one of them stomped towards the other, seemingly irritated.
Obi Wan gave a hand signal to the group, and they all began to pour their energy into moving the force through the two. Rey and Ben floated in midair for a few seconds, and began to spin. They eyed their arms. Shock was written on their faces. Then both seemed to fall unconscious, though their bodies were still held up by the force. In a few moments, Obi Wan gave another hand signal, and the two were lowered into the grass below.
While the others were doing this, Luke looked over, and saw Anakin standing by the ship. He laid a hand over a panel on the ship and a part of it's inner workings appeared in his hand. "So they don't fly away before we're done with them," he said. "I did the same to the other ship."
"Shouldn't we just cause a break down?" asked Luke.
"If the ships break down, they will stay here fixing them, but if they have a part stolen, then they will have something to look for."
"Ooh," said Luke.
"We should get out of here before they wake up," said Obi Wan.
"Yes, we have to go over the plans for tomorrow again," Luke pointed out.
Suddenly the group was gathered in the other relm again. Anakin who was standing beside Luke, facing the group, rolled his eyes. "We have been over this plan again, and again. We are as prepared as we can be."
"Tomorrow is the Equinox, that means it is the one chance all year we have to do this. Ok, Mace Windu, Qui-Gon Jinn lets start with your roles."
The group discussed their parts to the plan for a while. Then Yoda appeared in their presence. "Trouble, we have. Separated, the younglings have."
"Oh, for Jedi's sake. I'll have to go talk to them." Luke sighed.
Obi Wan stood up and spoke. "What do you plan to do."
"Well, I'll order them to join each other again. This plan won't work unless they are near each other tomorrow morning," explained Luke.
Qui-Gon Jinn laughed. "And you think these younglings will listen to you if you order them."
"Yes, I was master to both of them. Yoda was there, he'll speak for me. Out of all of you, he was the one who appeared to counsel me when I was on Ahch-To."
"Drew straws we did. I Lost," said Yoda.
Then Anakin reappeared in the relm. "It's ok. He's returning to her now. I reminded him what his mother said. A little trick of the wind. Leia is a brilliant woman. Padmé is excited to meet her daughter one day."
Luke huffed, and went back to questioning the group about the plans for the next day.
The next day, in the remains of a village of Calabria's former residents, a group of Force Ghosts suddenly appeared in our relm. Only, this time they appeared as any flesh and blood being. In fact, no distinction could be made between their appearance in life and now. Luke, with his beard hanging low, turned to look around. "Alright, you two. Get up to that roof. We want to look like we are survivors rebuilding this place."
Then Luke turned to Obi Wan, starting to say something, but took a step back. Obi Wan laughed, and said, "I thought the younglings would respond better to this appearance. It'd be hard to be romantic with an old man watching your every move." Obi Wan did look much younger than Luke ever remembered seeing him.
"But how?" Luke still stood in shock.
Anakin stood nearby and was nodding to Obi Wan's response. He looked at Luke, and winked. "I'll show you later, son." Luke still looked on with his mouth hanging open, so Anakin added, "How do you think I appear so young all the time?"
"You said, because that's the face from when you were last a Jedi," Luke answered.
"Yes, and my mental image of myself is as I was as a Jedi." Anakin explained.
"So, it's because of your ego?" Luke asked.
"Yup," answered Obi Wan, and every one else nodded.
"Alright everyone. We're going to try to act natural. No walking through walls, and no obvious Jedi tricks. Luke will be coordinating everything from the big house, because he's the only one of us these younglings will recognize. Everyone else, you have your roles. Lets go!" said Anakin.
