Padme and Luke discussed her role in the Rebellion. She would use her Force power to heal the wounded soldiers. She would stay in the camp and wait for them to be brought to her. Luke would fight with the remaining Jedi that were alive, alongside the Rebel soldiers.

They would head to the base later. But first, they had to go to Ryloth, to see if they could find the young Twilek boy that was nearly captured by the Order. Ryloth was under their control, so Luke and Padme had to disguise themselves as bounty hunters, so that they would not be recognized.

"Ben," Padme called out to him in the Force. "I need your help."

"What do you need, my love?" Kylo replied, as he laid down on his new bed.

"Where did you spot the young Twilek boy on Ryloth?"

"In the capital city of Lessu. Wait, Padme..."

"Don't worry about me. Just keep yourself safe. You sound more relaxed today."

"I am. I got an upgrade in my sleeping arraignments. If it wasn't because of Hux, I would say this bedroom is very nice. I got a day's reprieve from revealing the base."

"That is good news. I can't wait to hear about your new living quarters."

"And I can't wait to be with you, Please be careful on Ryloth. The First Order is all over the place there."

"We won't be there long. I need to go back to being the co-pilot. I will see you tonight,"

"Until then, I will be thinking of you."

Luke and Padme landed on Ryloth. He wore a metal mask over his head, and she wore a head scarf that covered everything except for her eyes.

"He said that the boy was being harassed in the main square of Lessu," Padme explained to her uncle, after they left the ship.

"You still haven't told me how you formed the Force bond with this man," Luke said to her.

"And you have not told me about your former student ," Padme replied back. Luke still had not shared the details with her, even though she knew Luke left him to go help rescue her.

"Ok, you win." Luke lifted his hands in surrender. He was not ready to tell Padme the truth. Not after everything she went through with discovering the truth about her family.

"Just promise me you will be careful," he insisted.

"Now you sound just like Dad," she teased him. "One day, I hope to introduce him to the family."

"You love him, don't you?" Padme was taken aback by that question. But she couldn't deny what she felt.

"I didn't sense it via the Force, Padme. I can see it when you talk about him. Your eyes light up," Luke added.

"Is it that obvious?"

"It is. As I said, just be careful. Just like now."

Luke pointed to the square. Twileks were walking around, along with Stormtroopers. Padme's stomach felt sick at the sight of those who captured Ben from this place.

"Stay calm," he reminded her, as they walked through the square. They were stopped by a couple of Stormtroopers.

"Halt! Identify yourselves," one of the soldiers said.

"We are bounty hunters, searching for Force sensitives, to bring to General Hux," Luke explained.

The Stormtrooper asked for their identification, to see if they were truly bounty hunters.

"You do not need to see our identification," Luke calmly told the soldier.

"I do not need to see your identification," the Stormtrooper repeated.

"We can go about our business."

"Go about your business. Move along."

Luke and Padme safely passed the Stormtroopers and headed deeper into the heart of Lessu. As she tried to visualize where the boy was, Luke said to her,

"It's not easy to do a Jedi mind trick."

"Except against Stormtroopers. I know, Luke," she replied, chuckling.

"When did you..."

"The day I was taken prisoner. They were coming up to my room, and I told them no one was upstairs, and to tell Vader that. It worked, but he knew I was still there."

"I see." He gave his niece a wink. "Any luck on finding the boy?"

"Not yet." Padme suddenly stopped. She spotted a brick wall. She went to the corner of it, and touched it with her hand.

"Padme, what is it?"

"The boy is here. But there is no door or window to get inside."

"But there is that," Luke replied, pointing to the sewer cover on the ground. Carefully, he lifted the cover off, and climbed inside. Padme followed him, and put the cover back on before anyone could spot them. It was dark in the sewer, so they ignited their lightsabers for light.

"Stay close," Luke instructed her, as they made their way deeper into the sewer. They turned a corner, and Padme had to deflect a blaster bolt from hitting her uncle. She extended her hand and grabbed the blaster from the would be assailant.

"Come to the light and show yourself. We mean you no harm," Luke called out to the mysterious figure.

It took a moment for the person to emerge. Actually, there were two people. One was a Twilek woman, the other was a young Twilek boy.

"That's him!" Padme told Luke via the Force. "That's the boy that was harassed by the Stormtroopers!"

"You will not take my son to the First Order!" the Twilek woman growled angrily. The little boy hid behind his mother.

"Miss, we are not here to take you or your son to them," Padme assured her.

"Then why are you here?" The mother looked down at her son, to make sure he was okay.

"We are here to rescue you and your son. To get you off of this planet and away from prying eyes," Luke explained to her. The mother held her son tightly to her.

"Why should I believe you? You look like bounty hunters!"

Luke nodded at Padme. Simultaneously, they removed their disguises. The Twilek woman gasped in shock when she saw Luke's face.

"You're Luke Skywalker!" she uttered. "But he did you know we were here?"

"That is a story for another time," Luke told her. "Now we have to get you and your son to safety. We need proof of what the First Order is doing to innocent civilians."

"You want me to testify. I can't. My son, he will be hunted and kidnapped!"

To both Luke and Padme's amazement, they heard the little boy speak to their minds.

"I will testify. The Stormtroopers tried to take me, but a man in black chased them away," the child explained to them.

"Please don't make me do this!" the mother cried in agony. Luke motioned for her to come and speak to him, while Padme approached the boy.

"Hi," he said out loud to her. "What's your name?"

"My name is Padme. And what is your name?" she sweetly asked. She bent down on one knee so that she could talk eye to eye with him.

"Caleb Syndulla."

"Syndulla? Are you related to Cham and Hera Syndulla?"

"Yes. Cham was my great grandfather and Hera was my grandmother. My mommy named me after her daddy. He was a great Jedi."

"I see." Padme knew about the Syndullas, but not about the Jedi Caleb referred to. "Caleb, do you know about the Force?"

"Yes. Mommy told me as soon as I could understand. But she said to keep it a secret, because people would try to take me away. Like the Stormtroopers tried to do." Caleb started crying.

"Don't cry," Padme told him, wiping his tears away. "Luke is a Jedi, just like your grandfather. We are here to rescue you and your mom."

"Are you a Jedi?"

"No. I'm a Light side force user." Luke and Caleb's mom joined Padme and Caleb.

"I'm Herian Syndulla," the Twilek woman introduced herself. "This is my son, Caleb."

"Hi, Caleb," Luke said to the young boy. "I see you are Force sensitive."

"Yes," the little boy replied. "One day, when I grow up, I want to be a great Jedi, just like my grandfather!"

"Caleb, I'm afraid that is not possible," Herian said to her son. He pouted and folded his hands in protest.

"Herian, if he wants to become a Jedi, you cannot stand in his way. He is still young enough to be trained," Luke explained. "But first things first, We need to get you and Caleb off of this planet, and to Hosnian Prime, to testify before the Senate."

The adults began to walk in the direction Luke and Padme came in. Caleb did not move. Padme turned around and motioned for him to come.

"No. Not that way. Stormtroopers are there," he insisted. Everyone turned to face him.

"Are you sure?" Padme asked him.

"Yes. We need to go this way." He pointed to his left. "The Force is saying to go this way."

"Then by all means young man, lead the way," Luke said to him. Caleb led the adults out of the sewer system. As they walked back to the Millenium Falcon, Padme said to her uncle,

"Truly wonderful is the mind of a child." Luke smiled, remembering that Master Yoda had said the same thing years ago, during his training.
