Hey everybird! What's up!?

So the final trailer for the Rise of Skywalker is coming out tomorrow night… I am super excited for what the final trailer will bring and what it will reveal!

So with that, I'm going to get back to the Star Wars questions from the MLP ones…

And today's question is…

What do you expect to see from the final trailer?

I'm really expecting to see closer looks to the B and Y wings, as well as at least a few seconds from an actual battle being waged between the Resistance and First Order fleets. I'm also really looking froward if they will in fact reveal Palpatine at all or at least give us a clearer answer as to why we heard his laugh at the end of the first teaser.

Anyway, moving on to your questions…

From Nightfly123, he asks, "What is the name of Blu and Roberto's home-world in their younger years?

Me: It was Virujansi, simple answer as that.

From T8ECR34TOR, he asks, "Is there any character you can think of that would be like Star Wars' own Joker?"

Me: Well I haven't seen Joker or know much about him… But from what I know… I will say that the mad Separatist scientist Dr. Nuvo Vindi from the episodes, "Blue Shadow Virus" and "Mystery of a Thousand Moons", when he tried to mass produce chemical bombs to plant across the galaxy to start a massive plague, comes to mind.

And last one thing before we get to the chapter…

Stormknight089, I cannot answer your current question for personal reasons, also, I know you didn't know this before, but please do not bring up the name you mentioned in the last review, it brings up some bad memories I rather forget and move on from.

Chapter 37. Renewed Purpose

(Arthur's POV)

In just a matter of minutes my entire life changed, one moment I was enjoying one of the few calls I came have with mom and dad, the heroes in my and Tyler's life, saying how much we looked froward to the day when we came return home. Now, they were gone, they and the rest of the Hosnian System destroyed by whatever superweapon the First Order possessed, not a trace of them left as both Tyler and I lost the one place where we could truly call our home. And not to mention if I didn't act, I would have lost my only real family I had left, my brother, if I didn't take the stun shot and prevented Tyler from making a big mistake.

Now I was lost without words or knowing what to do now that everything or almost everyone I loved was potentially gone, I just sat down where I was, with my knees tucked up and my face in my legs as I wrapped my wings around my head, like a crying infant. As I was there in my sorrow, having lost all sense of mind, I heard quiet steps come towards me as I wasn't in the mood for some cheering up.

"Sir…" I began, thinking it was Grandpa Blu. "You can say what you want, it wouldn't help."

"Commander, I think you will say differently if you see who it is." A voice that certainly didn't belong to Grandpa Blu speak to me as I raised my head to see it was…

"General Organa!" I said loudly as I immediately stood up at attention. "My apologies, I had no idea it was you."

"That is quite alright commander, please sit down." General Organa motioned for me to return to my seated position on the grass. "May I sit next to you?" The general asked and well I knew it wasn't polite to say no, so I had to let her sit, even thought I really wanted to be alone.

"So I take it you heard about the situation between me and my second…" I asked nervously as I thought that was the reason the general came up to me.

"Yes, I have, caused quite a scene I heard." The general replying. "I take it you and your brother had friends and family on the Hosnian System."

"Yes general…" I sighed. "A number of friends, a few older birds my brother and I consider our aunts and uncles, and most of all… Our parents, they were our heroes, the ones who raised and taught us everything we know about flying and fighting from the day we were born and now they're all gone…"

"I know the feeling commander, I too felt like I lost everything when I witnessed my home world, Alderaan, destroyed by the Death Star, all my family and friends down there, wiped out before they knew what hit them." The general's voice sounded emotional as she remembered. "But even than, I didn't lose hope, yes my home world and the ones I know are gone, but I knew that if I just gave up, than many others would suffer the same fate as me, so I continued the fight until those responsible were all gone and those who suffered didn't die in vain." The general's voice rising as hearing the general actually made me feel better and I was thankful for her company.

"Thank you general, that means a lot…" I shed a tear. "But even still… I stunned my own brother, my second and if I lose my brother, I lose control of my squadron and the ability to lead them right."

"Sibling relationships are hard commander, but you should be thankful that you still have your brother here right now." The general reminded me as that was true. "And you're going to need him if you two are going to make it through this fight, I need every single one here to show the best of their abilities."

"I understand general, I really hope my brother is willing to listen to me…" I feared as I felt like my brother would never talk to me again.

As I finished speaking, I found the general had stood back up as she was looking up, I looked up too, to see a rather familiar looking small freighter. I couldn't place my wing on what exactly made it look familiar as Resistance soldiers started to run towards the landing pad the ship landed on, the general walking down herself as she asked me to join her. As the freighter landed down, the boarding ramp lowered, coming down until it touched the ground as the Resistance soldiers raised their blasters, ready to gun down whoever came out.

"Hold your fire." The general ordered as I looked myself, seeing a pair of legs appear, then a body, and soon enough a head and as the head appeared, the bird spoke.

"Woah…" The bird coming down the ramp was surprised. "I only been missing for a few days and this is the welcome I get?"

"Poe!" I shouted as I ran up and gave my friend a hug. "You're alive!"

"Yeah, let me tell you I had quite the adventure and near death experience." Poe replied as I realized something…

"Wait… Where's my fighter…" I remembered as Poe clearly didn't bring back my X-Wing.

"Well…" Poe began, holding his pause for a couple of seconds as he wasn't quite sure how to put it. "Lets just say that the First Order had a chance to torch an X-Wing in prime condition." Poe giving me the short answer as the general came up before I could say something.

"Commander Dameron, it's great to have you back, but where is your droid and the intel?" The general asked.

"Wait, BB-8 isn't here…" Poe replied. "Well the First Order attacked the village, so I gave the intel to BB-8, hopeful he can find his way here, I guess."

"General!" A messenger came running up. "We have a priority message coming from Takodana."

"On my way." The general excused herself as she went to the command center as I turned back to Poe.

"So how exactly did you manage to get here?" I wondered.

"Well I had to find alternate means to find my way, luckily I found a smuggler who was more than happy to help." Poe answered.

"Who?" I asked and before Poe could reply himself, a new voice joined in as I saw someone else start to come down from the freighter.

"Me." The voice answered as the bird, who looked familiar came up and when I saw his face, I smiled with joy. "Hello kid, nice to see you again."

"Uncle Kipo!" I shouted as I now hugged him. "You're still alive!"

"Yes, and still helping the good guys too apparently…" Uncle Kipo chuckled before becoming serious. "We saw the red lights… Is…"

"Mom and dad, they're gone, we even saw some of their final moments ourselves." I expressed with sorrow as Uncle Kipo put his wings on my shoulders.

"I'm so sorry kid, I always thought your folks were some of the best pilots I have ever seen." Uncle Kipo expressed honestly as I knew he meant it.

"Thank you uncle." I replied. "So are you staying?"

"I wish I could kid, but I can't, I'm sorry." Uncle Kipo apologized. "But don't worry, I'll be on the good side til the end and I hope we see each other again one day." Uncle Kipo saying his goodbyes as he returned to his own cockpit in the freighter as he was given clearance to leave.

As I caught up Poe with everything that has been happening since he was gone, we walked to the command center, to see what the important message was. As we just walked down the steps, General Organa was there with an urgent look on her face.

"Commanders, get your squadrons ready, we leave in an hour." The general stating to us.

"What's happening general?" Poe asked.

"Apparently your droid has been spotted on Takodana commander." The general answering. "However no doubt that the First Order may also know that the droid is there and will seek to grab it themselves, we cannot let that happen and Commander Arthur…"

"Yes general." I paid closer attention as the general reminded me about Tyler.

"You know who to go to before you rally your squadron…" The general not needing to say my brother's name as I knew who she meant.

"Yes general, right away." I saluted as the general returned it before I left, going to the barracks area of the base.

As I made my way through the base to the barracks, I tried to prepare on what to say to Tyler, but I knew there really wasn't anything much I can say, the simple fact remained that with our parents gone, Tyler was the only real family I had left, I needed to remind him of that fact and hopefully we could maintain our brotherly bond. As I arrived at Tyler's quarters, a couple of Resistance soldiers were guarding the locked door to the inside, the soldiers standing at attention with their blasters held across their chests as I came in front of the door.

"I can take it from here." I told the two soldiers. "You are dismissed, return to your posts." I ordered.

"Yes sir." The soldiers replied as they left, leaving me to face my very angry brother alone.

Taking a deep breath I unlocked the door and right away I saw Tyler, awake as he had his head hung low, drained of all emotions, sitting down on his bed in the room, but as he raised his head to see who entered, he looked at me with fiery eyes, like he resented me.

"Brother…" I began, but was interrupted by Tyler.

"What are you doing here brother…" Tyler shot at me. "Come here to take another shot at me, strip me of my rank and give me a court martial, do it I don't care… Mom and dad are gone, so what's the point of fighting anymore…"

"First off, I'm not here to do anything to you." I returned. "Second, I'm just here to talk brother." I added as I bravely sat down right next to my brother on the bed, so close that our bodies were nearly touching, I could feel his feathers blush up against mine.

"If you think I'm going to talk to you, you're wrong, I have nothing else to say to you." Tyler refusing to speak, which I accepted.

"Fine, you don't have to say anything brother, just listen." I pleaded. "Mom and dad are gone, for good, and we can't change that, they didn't deserve the death they got from the First Order and trust me, I would like nothing more than to fly out myself and get revenge…

I paused to let what I said sink in before getting to the more positive and uplifting part.

"But you're the only real family I have left brother, I cannot afford to lose you too, I know what I did to you is unforgivable, and I don't expect you to look at me in the same way ever again, but I need you brother if we're both going to make it through this." I sought to get through to my brother's more brotherly side. "I love you brother, til the end."

I stopped, waiting for a response from Tyler, it took a couple of minutes, but when it did…

"You really mean all of that brother." Tyler asked softly.

"Every word of it." I confirmed.

"I'm sorry, I guess I just let all of my rage take over me and I just couldn't control it, I only had one thing on my mind and I let it blind me to reality." Tyler began, shedding tears. "I hope you can forgive me brother for all the trouble I caused you."

"I already have." I smiled as I brought my brother close to me, wrapping my wings around his body as I pulled him in for a hug, Tyler hugging back. "And don't worry, our chance to get back at the First Order may have come already."

"What do you mean?" Tyler asked me, confused.

"Poe has just come back, but he and his droid got separated and Poe left the intel he was sent to get in his droid, which was spotted on Takodana." I answered, much to Tyler's interest. "However there's a chance the First Order also got eyes there too and they're on their way to capture the droid, so General Organa is ordering all fighters ready to leave within an hour for Takodana."

"Why didn't you say that first!?" Tyler jumping up as he now forgot all about his sorrow with this opportunity.

"I knew you would be happy when I told you that." I chuckled as I stood up and faced my brother before lifting up my right wing for Tyler to take as Tyler took it with his left as we both squeezed our hold on each other. "Lets go teach the First Order a lesson they'll never forget brother." I smiled.

"With pleasure brother." Tyler giving back a determined look in his eyes.

Yup, this has truly changed the two brothers, but well as Lisa said in an earlier chapter… The First Order messed with the wrong family.

Anyway, I look froward to the next chapter because it contains some of my most favorites scenes from The Force Awakens, the next chapter is called "Flight of the Resistance", if it sounds familiar, that title name is based on a piece of music that plays during those scenes…

With that…

See everybird later!
