Star Wars: The Darkness Awakens

It was another hot day on the plant Jakku. A X-Wing starfighter flew through the sky and landed near the Niima Outpost and got looks from some of the locals there. The hood opened and emerged Ben Solo, the son Of Han Solo and Leia Organa. Ben was on a quest to search for the BB-8 droid which contained a map that led to the vanished Luke Skywalker. Ben wasn't the only one after the map, the First Order also seeked the map. It was up too Ben to locate it first before it fell into the wrong hands.

Ben decided to check the deserts of Jakku first, knowing that the village where BB-8 was last seen was near there. He made his way to the desert area and searched the area. BB-8 wasn't in sight. As he progressed forward he discovered something else. It was a fallen Star Destroyer stuck in the sandy area. Ben was curious of what was inside and whipped out his lightsaber, activating the green glowing blade. He found a hole and entered the Star Destroyer, using the lightsaber to guide him around.

He climbed up some walls and looked around the Star Destroyer, curious of what lay in the ship. The sound of a squealing robot went off and caught his attention and he jumped down, making his way outside to the source of the sound. He saw BB-8 being caught in a net as a green skinned creature was dragging it along. "Excuse me, but I believe the droid belongs to me." Ben ran over. The creature shook his head and denied his claim. "I think you misheard me.." Ben raised his lightsaber. "The droid belongs to me." The creature then gave it over. "Thought so", Ben sheathed his lightsaber and put it on his belt. "Come on BB-8, we need to get back to the base."

Ben and BB-8 made there way back to the outpost where his ship was located. Something caught his eye however. It was a human wearing what seemed to be Poe Dameron's jacket. Ben went over to him, "Excuse me! but where did you-" The figure turned to him and looked at BB-8. "That's it, that's the droid!" the figure exclaimed. BB-8 hid behind Ben and peered his head slightly at the figure. "Where did you get the jacket?" Ben questioned him. "Look, you don't understand-" the figure started, but was cut off by the sound of gunfire. A ship flew over head and fired at them. Ben and the figure started to run from the ship. "The first order! how did they find us?" Ben wondered. "Long story, I'll explain once we get away from them."

Ben looked back and saw his ship be destroyed. "The ship! how will we get away now?" Ben muttered. "This way!" the figure pointed to a junkyard with ships. Ben noticed one in particular, "Is that- It is. The Millennium Falcon.."

While the first order was hunting down the two, Rey was on the Finalizer pacing back and forth. Captain Phasma appoached her now. "Captain! have they been caught yet?" Rey narrowed her eyes. "I am afraid there has been no update on the attack yet." Phasma replied. "Ugh! They better not escape." She clenched her fists and tried to remain calm. "We will stop them." With that, Phasma left. "They better Phasma, they better.."
