Rey stared at him in shock. "How can you be dead and still be here?" she asked thoroughly spooked.

"It's a long story," Luke said sitting down on a bench.

"Tell me, please," Rey pleaded.

"Back when I was alive, I put what is called a holocron on this island. It's a piece of my soul that would continue to exist on this plane even after I had long died. I gave a trusted friend a map in case the Republic ever needed me. I never thought someone like you would show up," Luke explained.

"So, you're a ghost?" Rey wondered.

"Something like that," Luke nodded.

"So what happened to the real you? How did you die?" Rey asked still spooked and confused.

"Close your eyes. I'll show you what really happened," Luke said to her.

In a vision, Rey saw Luke sleeping in his stone hut near the Jedi Academy. Ben barged into the hut and used the Force to collapse the structure on top of Luke. An injured Luke was barely conscious as he heard what Ben said next.

"I'll keep him at bay. You take care of academy students," Ben said to a group of dark cloaked figures. The dark cloaked figures quickly departed towards the Jedi Academy.

Luke regained his senses and threw the debris off him. Ben ignited a red crossguard light saber but kept his distance from Luke.

"What have you done, Ben?" Luke demanded of him.

"Ben Solo is dead. It's Kylo Ren now," Kylo replied.

"You've turned to the Dark Side?" Luke questioned.

"It's the only way to defeat Snoke. Not the Jedi or the Republic. I will do what you were too weak to do," Kylo said angrily.

"Mercy isn't weakness," Luke said to him.

"Snoke doesn't deserve mercy. He deserves to die," Kylo said.

"You're wrong. There's more to this than you know," Luke said to him.

Fires broke out in the Jedi Academy and then suddenly it exploded killing half of Luke's students. "No!" Luke said and ran towards the academy. Ben cut him off and then two clashed with their light sabers. Luke eyed the unstable blade of Kylo's light saber. It flickered like fire with three separate red crystals.

The two then fought in the field. The rain poured down upon them creating steam off their light sabers. "Don't do this, Ben," Luke said to him.

"We were this close and you let him go!" Ben shouted at him.

"I let him go to save you," Luke replied back.

"You should have let me die then," Ben said as the two clashed. Their green and red blades went faster than human reflexes were possible. Ben stayed on the offensive aggressively swiping at Luke. The Knights of Ren then appeared from the fog and ignited their red light sabers.

Ben withdrew from Luke and gathered with his knights. "Your helmet," one of them said to him. Ben took the mask and placed it on his head. Luke watched his nephew's descent to the Dark Side in horror. "I will finish what grandfather started," Kylo Ren said through his mask.

"You'll have to go through me," Luke said as the knights began to circle him.

"So be it," Kylo replied.

Luke looked in all directions as the knights got closer to him. Using the Force, he saw an opening and engaged one of the knights. Breaking out of their circle, Luke engaged two or three knights at a time with his green light saber becoming a blur. Kylo held back as the knights furiously attacked Luke and tried to surround him again.

Luke Force pushed one a distance away and then threw a boulder at another. The remaining knights circled him and readied a coordinated strike from all angles. Luke placed his left hand on the ground blasting them away with the Force. Kylo then leaped towards Luke and engaged him one-on-one.

"How do you think this is going to end, Ben?" Luke demanded of him.

"I will present your light saber to Supreme Commander Snoke as proof I have destroyed you," Kylo replied.

"It's not worth it to gain the whole galaxy and lose your soul," Luke told him.

"I beg to differ," Kylo replied and continued the duel.

The Knights of Ren reached out with their hands and paralyzed Luke's body. They then went in for the kill slicing Luke several times to the torso. Luke gasped in shock as the knights withdrew their light sabers from his body.

Luke deactivated his light saber and knelt before Kylo. "I will always be with you, Ben," Luke said to him.

"I know," Kylo replied and stabbed Luke through the back killing him.

Kylo then picked up Luke's light saber. "Where's the droid?" he demanded of them.

R2D2 saw the battle from afar, whistled sadly, and rolled away into the distance.

Once the vision was over, Rey stared at Luke in shock. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asked.

"I needed to know who you were. What you were capable of," Luke said to her.

"There's nothing special about me. My parents were nothing," Rey said.

"No one is nothing," Luke shook his head.

"So, you're confined to this island?" Rey asked him.

"The holocron keeps me here. Without it, I might be too tempted to never come back," Luke said to her. "I can teach you the ways of the Force, but I cannot intervene."

"Why wouldn't you want to come back?" Rey asked confused.

"My wife…Mara," Luke said sadly.

Luke watched as Rey practiced with her light saber. Luke taught her the different forms and then had her practice while going up the mountain hill. At first, she had trouble with her foot work as she got to the top but became proficient all over the island.

"You must go to the pit and confront your fear," Luke told her.

"What if I don't come out?" Rey asked fearfully.

"You will," Luke said confidently.

Rey dropped down inside the pit and found the mirror. A shadowy figure with yellow eyes stared back at her. "I'm not afraid of you," Rey said to it.

"Oh, you will be," it laughed at her.

Rey smirked and then ignited her light saber. "I am a Jedi," she said to the demonic spirit.

The demonic spirit recoiled in disgust. Rey blasted the mirror with her light saber shattering it. The demonic spirit cried out in pain as the glass fell to the ground.

Rey went up to see Luke one last time. "Where's the holocron?" she asked him.

"Why?" he asked.

"I am going to see Kylo Ren. I am going to persuade him to turn against Snoke," Rey told him. "Let me free you."

"Just because I turned Vader against the Emperor doesn't mean it will happen the same way with you," Luke told her.

"I know, but I have to try," she said.

Luke nodded and led Rey to a cave inside the island. "I put a part of my soul in this," Luke said of a dark cube in the middle of the room.

Rey ignited her light saber. "Remember, if I can do it than Snoke can too," Luke told her.

Rey nodded and then placed the light saber near the cube. She hesitated as she saw Luke in front of her. "It's alright," he assured her.

Rey sliced the cube in half destroying it. "See you around, kid," Luke smiled and then faded away.

Rey walked out of the cave with tears in her eyes. She made her way to the Falcon and entered the ship. "We're leaving, Chewie," she said.

Chewie gave her a sad look. "Luke's not coming," she told him.

Chewie moaned sadly and activated the controls. The Falcon lifted off the ground and shot off into space. Rey used the homing beacon on her wrist to find the Resistance cruiser. The Falcon exited hyperspace near the First Order fleet.

Rey quickly jettisoned out of the Falcon in a pod and flew towards the Supremacy. The Falcon then disappeared into hyperspace before the First Order knew it was there. Rey's pod made its way to the Supremacy's docking bay and was quickly surrounded by Storm troopers as it landed.

Kylo Ren was present looking down on her as if expecting her. A Storm trooper opened handcuffs on her.
