Old Friends Reunited Ch.5

Kylo Ren's POV:

Kylo Ren addressed Captain Phasma "Show me FN-2187's file."

As he read it, Hux asked "No previous acts of disobedience?"

Phasma replied "This was his first offence."

Ren interrupted "Find them soon. I will deal with the traitor myself."

As Ren left, Hux followed and said "My men are not failures."

Kylo Ren replied "Apparently not since they're skilled at committing high treason. Perhaps Supreme Leader should entertain the thought of a clone army."

Hux said "My men are exceptionally trained, programmed from birth."

Ren said "Then they shouldn't have a problem retrieving the droid... unharmed."

Hux tilted his head before saying "Careful Ren, that your personal interests interfere with orders from Leader Snoke."

Kylo Ren replied "I want that droid. For your sake, I suggest you find it."

With that threat hanging in the air, Kylo Ren turned around, walked away, and disappeared around a corner.

Rey's POV:

Han and Rey were panicking as they heard the ship alarm beeping. Shouting each other suggestions to one another, she heard Finn yell "I need help with this giant hairy thing!"

Han mumbled next to her "If we don't fix this thing, there'll be pieces of us in 12 systems."

BB-8 came around the corner, reported what was going on, to which Han shouted back to Finn "You hurt Chewie, you deal with me!"

She heard Finn yell back "Hurt him? He's almost killed me 6 times!"

Then, when she heard Chewie growl at him, Finn whimpered out "Which is fine."

Rey finally saw the problem and ripped out a tiny black box which stopped the beeping. Han looked at her, confused, and asked "What did you do?"

She held up the black box and, smiling, replied "I bypassed the compressor."

He sat there, quiet, before saying "Huh."

Then he got up and went to check on Chewbacca and Finn.

Time Skip (I'm impatient)

Han asked "Did you forget to mention you were wanted by the First Order?"

Finn replied "Please, just get us to neutral space. We need to get this droid to the Resistance."

Han said as he walked to the cockpit "See, I forgot the part where it's my problem."

Rey pleaded "Please, we need to find Luke Skywalker."

Han stopped in the doorway, sighed, and said "I knew Luke. How are you going to find him?"

BB-8 put up the map and Han, examining it, said "The map's incomplete. You'll need the rest. After the war, Luke tried to find kids like him. It worked until Kylo Ren. He was an apprentice until he betrayed Luke. He turned his back on Luke and the Jedi."

Rey, not believing her ears, asked "The Jedi were real?"

Han replied "Used to wonder that myself. I couldn't believe it at first. A magical force binding together all energy and all creatures together, the Dark side and the Light, but the thing is... it's true. The Force, the Jedi, all of it. It's all real."

When they went back to the bridge, Rey watched as the Falcon came out of hyper space to reveal a beautiful green planet. As they came closer to it, she whispered "I never knew there were this much green in the galaxy."

Han's POV:

Han brought the Falcon in for a landing and as he prepped his gear, "Finn" asked "Solo, can I talk to you?"

Han, stupefied, asked "Did you just call me "Solo"?"

Finn continued "Look, I'm a big deal in the Resistance, so are there any First Order sympathizers here?"

Smiling, Han turned around and said "Look here, Big Deal. This is something I've learned from experience. Woman always figure out the truth. Always."

Han found the girl at the edge of the lake they had landed near, walked up to her, and said "Here. You'll need this."

He handed her a standard defense blaster and asked "Know how to use one of these?"

She held it up and replied "Yeah, pull the trigger."

Smiling, he said "Not that simple. You got a name?"

She said "Rey."

For some reason, that name struck a chord in him. Deciding to figure it out later, he said "I've been thinking about bringing some new crew, Rey. People who know their way with mechanics and appreciate the Falcon-"

He got cut off when she asked "Are you offering me a job?"

Han had thought he had been subtle, guess not. He replied "Wouldn't get paid much and I wouldn't be nice-"

He got cut off again when she confirmed enthusiastically "You're offering me a job."

Annoyed, he said "I'm thinking about it."

She deflated as her eyes wandered and said "If you were, I'd be flattered, but I need to get back."

Confused, Han asked "Jakku?"

Confirming it, she said "I've already been gone too long."

Han sighed and said "That's too bad. Chewie kind of likes you."

As they walked up to the building, Finn asked "Solo, why are we here?"

Han replied "We need to get your droid into Resistance space. The First Order knows he's on the Falcon, so you need a new ship. Maz can help."

Finn asked "Can we trust him?"

Han replied "First of all, he's a she. She's been running this place for a thousand years and has no love for the First Order. Oh, and don't stare."

In unity, Finn and Rey asked "At what?"

Han replied "Any of it."

Rey's POV:

As soon as they stepped inside, Rey heard the music, the shouts from several tables, and then someone from across the bar shouted out "Han Solo!"

As soon as that name came out, every head in the place turned to them. Nervously, Han yelled back "Hey Maz!"

The speaker shuffled forward to reveal a short orange woman wearing pilot's clothes and giant magnifiers on her eyes. She asked "Where's my boyfriend?"

Han chuckled and said "Chewie's working on the Falcon."

Maz smiled and said "I like that Wookie. You must need something. Desperately. Let's get to it."

3rd person POV:

A rusted robot sitting in the corner looked around the bar before something that caught his eye. Shifting forward, he caught a glimpse BB-8! He held his communicator to his mouth and said into his communicator "Alert the Resistance. We've found their missing droid!"

10 feet away, a woman wearing a black and white outfit with black claws said in her native tongue "Inform the First Order. I've found the droid."

Rey's POV:

Maz asked "A map? To Skywalker himself?" She turned to Han and chuckled as she said "You're right back in the mess!"

Han replied, whispering "Maz, I need you to get this droid to Leia."

Rey watched as Maz seemed to think about it until she said simply "No. You've been running for far too long. Go home."

Han looked down as he said "Leia doesn't want to see me. Not after what happened."

Maz shook her head as she said "No. She needs you for what comes next. Just like the galaxy needs us. To fight."

Rey asked "What fight?"

Maz replied "The only fight. Against the Dark Side. Over time, I've seen it take many forms. The Sith, the Separatists, the Empire. Today it is the First Order. Their shadow is spreading across the galaxy, but there is still hope. We need to fight them. All of us."

Finn leaned forward, shaking his head as he said "There is no fight against the First Order. They're too powerful. We all need to-".

He was interrupted when Maz zoomed her magnifiers in on him and he asked "What are you doing?"

She climbed on the table and crawled over to him and Finn asked again "Solo, what is she doing?"

Han mumbled back "I don't know, but it ain't good."

Maz explained as she crept closer "If you live long enough, you see the same eyes in different people. You, you have the ideas of someone who wants to run."

Rey watched as Finn regained some of the steel in his eyes as he said "You don't know who I am, what I've seen, or what I've done. We all need to run."

Maz backed away, reset her magnifiers, and motioned to two figures as she said "Those two, over there. They barter labor for transport to the Outer Rim. There, you can disappear."

Rey, confused and betrayed, asked "Finn?"

Finn pleaded "Come with me."

She tried to reason "What about BB-8? We need to get him to your base."

Finn sighed and said "I can't." Then he left.

As Rey got up after him, she faintly heard Maz ask "Who's the girl?"

Finn's POV:

Finn said to the leader of the duo "I was told you could get me to the Outer Rim."

The leader wore black clothes with a complex crimson helmet. The other one seemed to resemble a boar-like animal. As the former discussed the conditions with him, Rey came out of nowhere and asked "What are you doing?"

Turning to the duo, he asked "Wait for me?"

When he heard the confirmation, he got up and followed Rey. She asked "Why are you doing this? You can't do this to us."

Finn replied "I'm not who you think I am."

Confused, Rey asked "What do you mean? What are you talking about?"

Knowing he couldn't lie to her anymore, he explained "I'm not Resistance. Okay, I'm no hero... I'm a stormtrooper."

He could see the realization in her eyes and he continued "I was taken from I'll never know and trained to be killer, but I couldn't do it. So I ran and I ran into you. You looked at me like no one ever did. I'm never going back. Rey, please. Come with me."

Instead, she looked into his eyes and said "Please, don't go."

Finn, defeated, sighed and said "Take care of yourself, Rey."

Then he walked away.

Rey's POV:

Rey watched as Finn walked away from her, but then she heard the faint sound of a child crying. Walking towards the sound, she found herself descending a flight of stairs with BB-8 clunking down behind her. She heard the child crying "No! Come back!"

When she opened the door that seemed to be where the child was in, all she found was a room filled with cloths, tools, and one box. Timidly opening it, she found what she knew from the stories was... a lightsaber. Reaching towards it, she was shrouded in darkness! Then she heard labored mechanical breathing. As she ran from the sound, she felt rain hitting her as she saw a figure in a robe place a mechanical hand on an old R2 unit.

She heard "They're the memories of a dead man."

Then the rain disappeared and the familiar heat of Jakku replaced it. She heard the child crying "No!"

Turning, she was stunned to see herself being dragged by Unkar Plutt who said "Quiet girl."

The younger Rey looked past her and cried "NO!" to the sight of the ship that her parents left on.

Then, to her confusion, the memory dissolved and a new one replaced it, one she never experienced. A middle- aged man tugged at her arm with a synthetic hand and shouted "We need to go!", trying to get her to a ship.

She heard blaster fire and saw the familiar sight of stormtroopers! Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a teenager in black robes running towards them. He seemed to be reaching out and calling to her before the warmth of the ship's engines faded into brisk cold. Turning, she looked to see the man, the ship, the stormtroopers, and the mysterious man disappeared with cold, bare, and frostbitten trees replacing them.

She heard an echo of a man calling out "Rey?"

Then she heard another voice ask "Rey, why?"

As she looked for the source, a monster came from behind a tree and lunged at her with a crimson lightsaber. As she took it in, she noted the black and silver mask, the black robes, and the saber resembling fire. As it approached her, she heard it ask in a menacing voice "You left me. Why?"

Then she saw the necklace. It almost looked identical to hers, but instead of white wings with singular black feather, it was black with a white feather. Stumbling back in realization and horror, she found herself outside of the room with the lightsaber in her hands and Maz looking at her in awe.

Rey asked "What was that?"

Maz walked up to her and said "That lightsaber has a dark past. It was Luke's and his father's before him. It calls to you now."

Rey shook her head and said "No, I need to get back to Jakku."

Maz nodded and said "Han told me."

She had Rey bend down on one knee so she'd be eye level with her. Maz took her magnifiers off to reveal small, shrunken eyes and said with sympathy "Dear child, I see your eyes. You already know the truth. The people you're waiting for on Jakku. They're never coming back."

Rey closed her eyes in sorrow until she heard Maz say "But there is still someone who can. The belonging you seek isn't behind you, it is ahead. I'm no Jedi, but I know the Force. It flows through and surrounds every living thing. Close your eyes. Feel it. The light, it's always been there. It will guide you through the trials to come. The saber, take it."

Rey pulled away, stood up, and said "I don't want any part of this."

Then she left, with BB-8 and Maz reaching for her.

Kylo Ren's POV:

Ren stood aboard the Finalizer and looked out to Starkiller Base. Despite his best efforts, Hux had persuaded Snoke to allow him to test the weapon.

Flashback:

Snoke asked "Have you found the droid?"

Ren shook his head and said "Not yet, Supreme Leader."

Snoke shook his head and angrily said "With that droid, the Resistance can find Luke Skywalker and destroy everything we've worked so hard to build. The new Jedi will rise."

Hux came from behind and said "The weapon, it is ready. I believe now is the time to use it. We can destroy the government who supports the Resistance, the Republic. Without their friends to protect them, we can destroy them before they can reach Skywalker."

Ren shook his head and said "The Resistance is our only concern. If we show our weapon too early, we could be bound to repeat unpleasant history."

Snoke thought about it before gesturing to Hux and saying "Go. Oversee preparations."

End Flashback

Despite his efforts, Snoke had decided to use the weapon. So now he could only watch as they ignited the weapon.

3rd person POV:

On Starkiller Base, thousands of stormtroopers stood before Hux as he said "Today is the end of the Republic. The end of the regime that brings about disorder! In a system far from here, the New Republic lies to the galaxy while secretly supporting the treachery of the loathsome Resistance. This weapon that you've built, upon which we stand, will bring an end to the Senate, to their cherished fleet, and every man, woman, and child will bow to the First Order and remember this as the last day of the Republic!"

Every stormtrooper saluted him and as they turned around, he shouted out "FIRE!"

Every person on Starkiller Base watched as the planet fired a crimson pillar that'd stretch across the galaxy.

The people of the Republic could not believe their eyes as a red light appeared, tainted, and filled the sky. It grew into a glare, then a light as bright as their sun! Then nothing. The blast wiping out the planet, along with others, leaving the planets as nothing but lifeless and barren husks.

Finn's POV:

As Finn helped the duo load the ship, the air suddenly filled with screams! When he turned around, he looked on in horror as he saw the planets of the Republic were destroyed. Immediately, he dropped the bags and ran to Han. When he reached Solo, he said "They've done it. The First Order, they've done it. They destroyed the Republic."

As he noticed something, he asked "Where's Rey?"

Ren's POV:

Ren watched the devastation and couldn't help but feel guilty. Rey could've been there and he couldn't stop it. Suddenly, a stormtrooper came forward and said "Sir, the droid has been spotted on Takodana in Maz Tanaka's establishment."

Ren emotionally replied "Set a course. Assemble our best men. Prepare for ground assault."

Rey's POV:

As Rey ran, she tried to block it all out. The breathing, the crying out, and the monster. Somehow, she knew it had been hunting her all her life. What had it meant when it said she had left it behind?

Before she could think about it more, she heard whirring behind her and when she turned to investigate, she found BB-8. She said "Don't follow me. Please, I need to-"

She was interrupted by the roaring engines of TIE fighters! Racing back to Maz's, she froze at the sight of storm troopers.

She told BB-8 to go and tried to fire at one of them, but it clicked. "Safety." she scolded herself. As she turned it off, the stormtrooper noticed her and fired two shots at her! With the safety off, she immediately retaliated and watched him collapse. As more saw her, she retreated back into the forest!

Finn's POV:

Maz lead them through the hallways until she went into one of the rooms and brought back a silver cylinder as she said "I've had this for years. Kept it locked away."

Han asked, astonished "Where'd you get that?"

Maz replied "A good question... for another time."

Holding it out to Finn, she continued "Take it. Find your friend."

As he took it, the building shook as the shriek of TIE fighters filled the air. Maz muttered scornfully "Those beasts. They're here."

Ren's POV:

As Ren walked through the chaos, a stormtrooper shouted to him "Sir, the droid was last seen heading West... with a girl."

Kylo Ren turned to the forest behind him and walked to the trees to sate his curiosity.

Rey's POV:

Rey had lost the stormtroopers, but something told her she was being watched. As she wandered through the trees, Rey felt weird. Like her brain was trying to break out of her head. Suddenly, she heard someone coming. Slipping into the rocks, she raised her blaster and frantically looked for stormtroopers.

Just as she relaxed, she heard the sound of a lightsaber igniting! As she watched, the monster emerged. It was the same one from her vision! She fired desperately at it, but every time it deflected them with its crimson lightsaber! As she climbed out of the rocks, it strolled after her, like it had all the time in the world. She stumbled backwards as she kept firing.

As the monster advanced, it deflected her three shots and thrust its hand forward! Immediately, she couldn't move. As she stood there, frozen, the monster strode forward and said with the same voice in the vision "The girl I've heard so much about."

As he walked closer, he examined her and said "I expected more. Then again, you're just a scavenger. Nothing more, nothing-"

He stopped as he noticed something. Reaching out, he grabbed the chain of her necklace and examined the wing. As she stood there, unable to move, she saw the necklace from her vision. Pulling it from her neck, he held it in his hands and and smoothed it over, almost affectionately. Walking past her, the monster said in an emotional tone "The droid can wait."

Igniting his lightsaber, he held it up for her to see and feel the flame as he said "The necklace. Where did you find it?"

Duh, duh, duh! There we are, my friends. The reuniting of old friends. I know this may not be what you were hoping for, but for now, this is it. I'll see you in 2-3 weeks. More than likely 2. Anyway, I have something I want to ask. After this story is done, I've been thinking of few things to start and I'm asking you all which one you want to see first.
