We're Wizards, Not Warrior: What If

Volume 5:

Chapter 22: The Rise of Skywalker

Rey, Ani and Finn watched in horror as they saw Ben be thrown off the bridge.

Luke ran to the edge of the bridge and saw Ben hanging onto the one below them for dear life.

Luke knew he had to save Ben.

But he also had to stop Belos!

Especially as Belos began to jumo from bridge to bridge, looking for the right window.

Ani, Rey and Finn tried to move, but they couldn't. They were so weak.

The three then stared up at the stars.

Rey began to chant, "be with me. Be with me. Be with me."

Ani and Finn join in, "be with me. Be with me. Be with me."

And that's when they begin to hear the voices.

And not only that.

They see many spirits begin to appear around them!

Obi Wan said, "these are your final steps. Rise and take them."

Anakin said, "Rey."

"Ani", Revan said.

"Finn", Bastila said.

Kanan said, "Rey."

Anakin said, "bring back the balance, as I did."

Ki Adi Mundi said, "in the night, find the light, children."

Revan said, "feel the Force. All three of you."

Mace Windu said, "you're not alone."

Yoda said, "alone, never have you been."

Bastilla said, "find your strength."

"Every Jedi who ever lived lives in you", Depa Billaba said.

Qui Gon Jinn said, "the Force surrounds you three."

Jarro Tapal said, "trust the Force."

"Let it guide you", Yaddle said.

Windu said, "feel the Force flowing through you all."

Anakin said, "let it lift you."

Mundi said, "rise, Rey."

Revan said, "rise, Ani."

Bastilla said, "rise, Finn."

Qui Gon said, "we stand behind you. All three of you."

Obi Wan said, "Rey."

Yoda said, "rise in the Force."

Ani, Rey and Finn all begin to rise as they pull their lightsaber's towards them.

Kanan said, "in the heart of a Jedi lies their strength."

"Rise", Qui Gon said.

Obi Wan said, "rise."

"Rey, Ani…. Finn….", Revan said.

"The force will be with you", Anakin said.

"Always….", Bastilla said.

The trio now had determined looks on their faces. They all slowly rose to their feet.

They gripped their lightsabers in their hands. They saw Belos on a bridge above them, dueling against Luke, protecting a weak Ben.

The three then knew what to do. They all jumped up to the bridge.

Belos was about to strike Luke, when he was force pushed away from him!

Belos growled when he saw the trio there.

"You three should be dead", Belos growled.

Ani said, "happy to disappoint ya!"

Belos yelled and ran at them!

….

Meanwhile….

Ahsoka was dueling some scouts.

She seemed to be doing well against them.

But Ahsoka did not notice the danger that she was about to be in…. A Scout wss pointing right at her from behind!

The scout then fired at her!

Ahsoka gasped as the bolt went through her stomach.

"AHSOKA!"

The scouts surrounding her were sent flying.

Hunter, Sam, Raine and Plo Koon ran to Ahsoka as she fell to her knees, clutching her wound.

"Mom", Sam shouted in worry.

Sam and Hunter held Ahsoka close as she was laid on the ground.

"Hang on my love, we'll get you help", Hunter said.

Plo Koon knelt by and said, "there is no time…. I know what I must do…."

Ahsoka asked, "Master Plo?"

Plo Koon said, "I do not have more than a few weeks left to live…. I'd rather give my life to save yours than just die in a hospital bed…."

Plo then placed his hand over Ahsoka's wound…. He began to concentrate.

Then slowly…. Ahsoka's wound began to heal.

Sam and Ahsoka gasped.

Plo kept on concentrating.

Soon, the wound was all healed up!

Ahsoka then looked at Plo Koon.

He looked weaker.

"Master Plo Koon….", Ahoska said in a worried tone.

Plo Koon said, "do not grieve, little Soka. For I shall be one with the force…."

Tears fell down Ahsoka's face.

Before their very eyes, Master Plo faded away.

Ahsoka then broke down crying.

Hunter and Sam hugged her.

Hunter whispered, "at least his sacrifice wasn't in vain…."

"Dad is right, mom", Sam said.

Ahsoka cried at the loss of her oldest friend….

….

Meanwhile….

We see the trio fighting Belos. Belos was growling like a mad dog.

The trio were able to block every one of his attacks.

He yelled in pure rage!

Ani ran towards Belos.

Belos yelled, "I've come too far to be stopped by the likes of you!"

"Too bad Belos! Because you are not going to win", Ani shouted.

Belos screamed in rage as he began shooting lighting forward!

Rey quickly blocked the blast with her saber!

"I'm going to end you and the Skywalker Bloodline for good", Belos roared.

He increased the power of the lightning.

Ani and Finn then began to block the lighting as well with their sabers.

Belos snarled in rage, "I am all of the Sith!"

"And we….", Rey said.

Rey called another blade into her hand.

Luke's lightsaber!

"We are all the Jedi", Rey said.

Rey crossed her lightsabers together like an X!

Rey then walked forward as she began to push the lighting back at Belos.

Belos yelled, "no! No! No!"

The lighting then began to hit Belos. He screamed in pain and rage as the lightning cascaded all over his body.

Rey kept pushing the lighting towards Belos with a look of determination on her face.

Belos's flesh began to sizzle and pop!

Rey then let out a yell. She sent every spark of lightning right back at Belos!

Belos let out one last scream as he exploded. The trio were blown backwards a bit.

Finn asked, "did…. Did it work?"

Ani said, "I…. I think so…."

"You did it!"

Finn and Ani turned to see Ben helping a limping Luke towards them.

"Uncle Luke", Ani said as he ran over to hug Luke.

Ani and Luke hugged as Finn stood before Ben.

Finn then held his hand out to him.

Ben then reached out his hand.

The two shook hands as Ani exclaimed, "Rey! We did it…! Rey…?"

Ani then saw Rey standing there looking at them with a weak look on her face.

Ani asked, "Rey?"

Rey suddenly dropped her sabers and fell to her knees!

"REY", Ani shouted as he ran towards her

She had collapsed by the time Ani got to her and pulled her close.

He cried, "Rey! REY!"

She looked lifeless.

Finn ran over.

As did Luke and Ben.

"Rey! Rey! Wake up! Please wake up, my love", Ani cried.

Rey looked pale and lifeless. Almost like a corpse.

Ani cried, "Rey, please. I love you. Don't leave me!"

Finn had tears in his eyes as well.

Ben held a somber look…. When he suddenly had an idea!

Ben then placed his hand on Rey.

He began concentrating as Ani asked, "what're you doing?"

Ben said, "I can't make up for everything I've done…. But I can at least do this…."

Ben then closed his eyes.

He concentrated as hard as he could.

Rey's skin began to get less pale.

Ani went wide-eyed as he saw this happen. Finn and Luke gasped.

Rey's skin then returned to its normal color.

Rey then let out a gasp for air.

Ani cried as he hugged her close, "Rey!"

Rey hugged Ani back.

Ani cried, "I thought I'd lost you!"

Rey asked, "what happened?"

"You nearly died…. But Ben saved you", Finn said.

Rey looked up at Ben.

"I don't know what to say", Rey said.

Luke said, "I think a thank you will suffice."

Rey smiled and said, "thank you Ben."

Ben gave a small smile.

Ben then fell to the ground.

The other's all gasped in shock as Ben's body slowly began to fade away.

"Ben", Rey said sadly.

Luke said, "he must've used the last of his strength to save you…."

"He is now one with the force….", Finn said.

….

We then see Leia.

She felt her son leave this mortal coil.

"Ben", Leia said sadly.

She held her hand close to her chest.

A tear fell down her face.

….

Back in the World Between Worlds….

"Come on, we need to leave", Ani said.

Finn asked, "why?"

The place then began to rumble.

Rey shouted, "what's happening!?"

Luke said, "the portal's preparing to close!"

"We have to hurry and get out", Finn said.

The trio began to make for the exit, but Ani turned to see that his uncle could barely walk.

Ani then ran back to help his uncle.

He said, "Uncle Luke, c'mon, we gotta hurry!"

But Luke knew that he wasn't going to make it….

He said, "you need to get out of here, Ani."

"No, not without you Uncle Luke", Ani said.

Luke sighed in worry.

"Come on Uncle, hurry", Ani said.

Luke took a breath and said, "I'm sorry, Ani…."

Ani asked, "why do you mean?"

Luke threw his hands forward.

Ani was then sent flying towards Rey and Finn!

Ani crashed into the two and they were all sent flying out of the portal.

Ani looked back at the portal and yelled, "no!"

Ani then got up and ran as fast as he could to the portal! But it began to close faster than he could run!

"UNCLE LUKE", Ani shouted in fear.

The portal then closed up!

"NOOOOOOOOOO", Ani screamed out.

He pounded his fists on the stone where the portal had been moments ago.

Rey and Finn then got up from the ground and then ran towards Ani.

Ani had tears streaming down his face.

Rey hugged her boyfriend.

Ani cried over the loss of his uncle.

But then, Finn turned to the mural, gasped and said, "look!"

Ani and Rey turned to look at the mural.

They were shocked by what they saw.

On the Mural was Luke. Clad in his white robes and standing among the Mortis Gods.

"Uncle Luke", Ani whispered.

His uncle was truly one with the force.

Rey and Finn hugged Ani.

Ani appreciated the hug.

….

We then see Poe and Padme along with the rest of the Rebel ships and a few Republic Cruisers surrounding the Star Destroyer command ship.

Poe said, "everyone, get ready to fire."

"On our command", Padme said.

"Roger", everyone said into their comlinks.

Everyone took aim.

"Fire", Poe and Padme shouted.

They all began to fire.

The Star Destroyer was destroyed in a few mere seconds.

"Woohoo! We did it", Padme cheered.

Poe yelled, "Hell yeah!"

Everyone down below on the battlefield saw the ship being destroyed and they all cheered as well!

Sam cheered as he hugged his husbands close.

Ahsoka and Hunter hugged each other.

The former Scout's and Jaina all cheered together.

….

On the Falcon….

"Wooo! YEAH", Eda cheered.

King squeaked in joy as Chewie growled in joy!

Lando and Lilith hugged each other close.

….

Back on the battlefield….

Sam then turned around to see Ani, Rey and Finn.

He quickly ran to them.

As soon as Sam reached them, Ani hugged his father and cried.

Sam hugged his son close.

The others then approached the group.

Leia held a somber look as she approached.

Rey approached Leia.

The two hugged one another.

"Dad…. Uncle Luke…. Is…. Is….", Ani sobbed.

Sam said, "I know…. I know, son…. It's okay…."

Ani kept crying into his father's shoulder.

Sam held Ani close as Prime and Alastor joined the hug.

"Oh, our baby boy", Alastor whispered.

Ani cried a little longer.

Prime kissed Ani's forehead.

Finn said, "there's something you all have to see."

Ahsoka asked, "what is it?"

"Follow us", Rey said.

The trio then led the others to where the mural was.

Sam and Leia were shocked to see Luke's image in the mural.

"It appeared moments after the portal closed", Rey explained.

Ahsoka said, "it looks like Luke is one of the Mortis Gods now."

"Oh…. Luke", Sam said.

Leia said, "he's one with the force…."

"As is Ben", Sam said as he held his sister's hand.

Leia looked down sadly.

Sam hugged his sister.

The others all gave sad looks.

They may have won the battle against the First Order…. But at a cost….

….

Later, at the base….

The Resistance was holding a large celebration to commemorate winning the war.

We see Angela run towards her father's.

Prime scooped her up in his arms.

"Daddies", Angela squealed in joy.

Prime said, "there's my little girl!"

Angela hugged Prime around the neck.

He held her close.

Alastor and Sam then kissed Angela's forehead.

Angela giggled happily.

Lola then flew over to Ani and landed on his shoulder.

Ani smiled at her.

Lola beeped and nuzzled Ani's face.

Ani chuckled lightly.

Poe and Padme then were seen sharing a kiss.

Finn ran to Breha and his child.

Breha hugged her boyfriend and gave Finn a kiss on the lips.

Jesse ran to Ahsoka and Hunter.

Ahsoka and Hunter smiled as they hugged their son.

Jaina was sitting on a log. She looked a little lost.

Then Lilith and Lando saw her.

They approached her.

"Hello young one", Lilith said.

Jaina said, "er…. Hello?"

"You seem to feel lonely", Lando said.

Jaina said, "I should say so. Those First Order chumps took me when I was three years old…."

Lilith and Lando froze when they heard that.

Lilith said, "we had a daughter…. Three years old…. Went missing."

Jaina looked at them with a look of shock.

Lando asked, "what's your name, kid?"

"Jaina", Jaina said.

Lando and Lilith went wide-eyed.

Lando took out a photo from his pocket.

He looked at it, then Jaina.

There was no doubt about it.

The little girl in the photo looked just like Jaina.

"Jaina", Lilith and Lando cried.

Jaina asked, "are…. Are you?"

"Yes, we're your parents", Lilith cried.

Lando cried, "give us a hug!"

Jaina cried and hugged her parents.

Finally, she had a family again!

We then see One-One with BB-8 and BB-4.

One-One yelled, "wooo hooo! We did it!"

"Hooray! We didn't die", one-one said.

BB-8 and BB-4 beeped in joy.

HK-50 was yelling, "excited statement: I shot so many First Order Meatbags!"

The droids laughed at Hk-50's comment.

Rey walked over to the Skywalker Family.

They all smiled at her.

Ani went over to hug Rey.

"I still don't feel good, Ani", Rey said.

Ani said, "probably just a result of being brought back from near death."

One-One wobbled over and began scanning Rey.

Once he finished scanning Rey, he was shocked with the results.

One-One asked, "uh, mistress Rey?"

Rey asked, "what is it?"

"You have two tiny lifeforms growing within your uterus", one-one said.

Rey and Ani went wide eyed.

Ani asked, "are you saying Rey's pregnant?"

"Yes, that's what the results are saying", One-One said.

"Two babies, to be precise", one-one said.

Ani then hugged Rey. He smiled with tears in his eyes.

"We're having two babies", Ani said in joy.

Rey was still in shock.

Ani asked, "Rey?"

He gave her a light shake to snap her out of her shock.

Rey then kissed Ani on the lips.

That managed to do it.

The two then broke the kiss.

Ani asked, "well?"

"I am so happy as well", Rey said.

Ani smiled as he hugged Rey close.

Sam and the rest of the family smiled at the sight.

The young couple were going to start a family!

"We're proud of you Rey."

They all turned to see Revan and Bastilla standing there.

Rey smiled at her ancestors.

She was so happy right now.

Rey and the rest of the Skywalker family looked up in the sky. They all gave small smiles.

The Galaxy was now at peace once more. The Sith were no more.

The war was over.

And the galaxy could finally be at peace once more….
