FN had fully removed his amour and was putting on the news clothes, as was Poe who was out of his pilot's uniform.

"Why do I feel like an old man?" Wondered Poe looking over his new clothes.

"Their Han's." replied 3PO coming in. "Master Solo, always keeps a few spears, for those long trips.

"I'd rather be back in my own clothes."

"Well, I'm terribly sorry, but in order to blend in, you need new clothes."

"Take no offence droid, he's cracking wise." chimed in FN who left.

"Why I never." scoffed 3PO.


In the other room Han was looking at the crystal as Rey eyed it up, soon the others came in and Rey stopped eyeing it up.

"This here is a holocron crystal, it's useless with out box it self though."

"Why?" asked Poe.

"A force user, could combine the two, and it opens up or something, Luke never showed me."

"Then how do you know that's how it works."

"Leia told, me after she went to train with Luke, but she wasn't cut out for that Jedi yahoo stuff." recalled Han.

"So what's our plan."

"Were heading to an old drinking hole, there, you three can lay low, wile I send a message to the resistance though a third party."

"So where are we headed?" asked FN.


Takodana sat in the western regions of the Mid Rim, they came out of Hyper space and made for the planet, Han and Poe flew over as they headed towards the drinking hole. Rey and FN where in the rear two seats looking on, Rey peeked at the lush green's the plant offered.

"I forgot how beautiful the galaxy can be." dreamed Rey.

"You might want to be careful, there's a reason Takodana didn't fall under the hands of the Empire."

They came down on landing platform, based around an old temple a short walk from great castle.

"Is that it?" asked Rey.

"That's it, you'll find your help there, I'll stay here and make the call." said Han.

"Who do we ask for, we don't know who to trust?" asked Poe.

"Ask for Maz, now get." shooed Han as he forced them to leave.

3PO came in and saw Han. "If you don't mind we saying sir, should we head back to Jakku, we still haven't found the young Mistress."

"I know, but it's been what over ten years."

"Eleven to be precise sir."

"Maybe Lando might have some idea's, of where she might be."

"Sir, if I may. That young girl we picked up looks to be our young mistress at what would be her current age, and she did loose her caretaker."

"I want to see what Lando found first, we can't jump to any thing yet."

"I see sir, I'll alert Princess Leia at ounce."

Han looked out the window at Rey as three stood out side the ship.


They looked around as BB8 came up behind them.

"Got the crystal buddy?" asked Poe.

BB8 beeped in acknowledgement.

"Good, FN you want to join us, we're all looking for Maz."

"I'll scope out the area, make sure there isn't any First Order informants." he said and took off.

"See you there, Rey you coming?"

Rey was caught up in the cold winds and fresh air.

"Come on BB8." said Poe as the two left.

As Rey stood taking it all in, Han came up and stood beside her.

"You said you were looking for your family."

"Yeah, I was left on Jakku as a child and left with my guardian."

"Nice were they?"

"Yeah." she recalled "Did he also give you that?" he gestured, looking at the lightsaber.

"No, in is death, I took most of his stuff, in hopes of buying a ticket to leave."

Han nodded along "So you know how to use it then."

"Yeah, you activate it, then use it."

"It's a bit more complicated then that."

"Really, you ever use one."

"Ounce, along time ago."

"Wait, are you some sort of Jedi."

"No, but I'm related to two of them, more like four." he muttered the last part to himself.

"I'd better move on before Poe leaves me behind."

"You'd better." he said, as he watched her go.

Seeing her leave he sighed and left back to the Falcon.


Poe was hanging around near the castle gate before the main entrance, BB8 rolled up and gave a few beeps.

"Good, I was hoping to go as a group." Poe smiled.

Rey popped her head around and saw them waiting for her.

"Ready to go in?" he asked.

"Yep."

Then FN arrived. "I believe this is a neutral planet, they show no clear signs of being a Republic or First Order planet. And I found no spies or spy equipment in the area."

"Good then lest go in." said Poe.

They made their way over and walked under the great arch, here FN stopped seeing an old washed away symbol on the wall.

"What did you see asked Poe." as he caught up.

"This castle was built by the confederacy."

"You don't say." said Poe.

As they came in they stopped, unsure at what they where looking at. The castle had been built long ago and know many of the walls stood now where arches letting people pass though most of the ground floor. There were screens to watch the games, tables to sit, dine and drink at, others where used for card games and wagers. At the far back of the door sat a bar, the three didn't know the first thing to do, and blocked the path for other patrons. One rather large alien fellow pushed past cursing them in their own tongue.

"What do we do know?" asked Poe.

"We where told to find Maz, I suggest we asks around." chimed in FN.

"I'll be at the bar." said Poe.

"Why there?" Rey asked FN.

"More then likely he thinks the bar tender is Maz, or can help find them."

"Is that true."

"Lets us find out."


In the cockpit Han was looking at the fur, before and turned to 3PO.

"I need you to send a message for me."

"Of course Master Solo."

Han looked back out of the window, unaware that a small device under the cockpit was flashing red as it gave off a quite beeping sound.


Leia was dressed on her best in a seat at the a hearing of the New Republic on Corsnount, she was joined by a younger girl who sat and watched on. A guard dressed in blue shirt with a black vest came in to their pod.

"Your highness." they started "A message has arrived for you."

"Thank you." she said, she then addressed the Girl "Min-Adria, do you think you can voice my concerns, if anything is brought up."

"Of course, Leia."

Leia stepped out side, and the guard gave here the message, after hearing it she pulled out a concealed comm link strapped to her leg.

"Send your best forces, I know where they are…"


Poe was sitting at the bar as tapped his hand on the counter, as Rey and FN joined him, sitting either side.

"So where do you think Maz is?" asked FN.

"I'm sure they're around."

As they spoke a small figure walked around the bar, the top of their head barely visible. Soon enough they elevated in to view.

"What can I get you all?" she asked.

"We don't have any credits." said FN.

"No credits, then your as useless as a droid." they scolded.

BB8 let out slow beep.

"No where looking for Maz." said Poe. "They might be able to help us?"

"And who sent you to find this Maz?"

"What does it matter." said Rey "He's going to back to the resistance with his droid, and going with him, and he's looking to escape the First Order." burst out Rey. "I don't see why your being so cryptic over this?"

"So, Solo sent you. I should have seen this coming, he's not brave enough to come here, not after what he and Luke found."

"What did they find?" asked Poe.

"Not important, now I can see that only two of you need help." she said eyeing Rey and FN. "You." she said looking at Poe "Take your droid outside!"

Poe slipped of the stool and left, wile Rey eyed him up.

"Girl, why do you want to follow a man you don't know to place you have no wishes to travel to."

"Wait how do you…"

"Hush, when yo get to my age, you learn to read people."

"That droid holds something that is the key to finding out who I am."

"And who are you."

"Rey."

"No, but who are you really?" asked Maz "If you wish to find your family, you first must find out who you are. Now the thing Luke and Han found is in my cellar, go to it and it will show you what your looking for."

"What's down there."

"Only what you take with you."

Rey looked to her belt.

"You won't be needing that."

"Says you."

"No, I already have one down there."

"What?"

"I have the very thing you carry on your belt down there, I'll show you." She slowly despaired behind the bar.

Rey looked over to see she was using a small device to lift her self up.

Maz looked back to FN "I'll be back to talk to you."


Han was talking to Lando via hologram in the cockpit.

"So you did contact Leia, how long as it been since you that, for the resistance to no less."

"Look where getting of track, did you find Jaina?"

"No, when I arrived at the village it was torched. Everyone had been burnt too."

Han tensed up "Was she among them?"

"No, I did a DNA check of all the bodies, she was not there.

Han became more laid back.

"I'm think she must be, what at least eighteen. My guess is she is living somewhere out here."

"Well keep looking."

"I will, and what may I ask what will you be doing?"

"Coming back to help you."

"What, no I got this covered, you can help track down Luke."

"And why would I do that."

"He's your bother in law."

"You know Luke and I and never seen eye to after we did the cave business for Maz." Han seemed bitter.

"Then maybe you can use this time to rectify that, and put your differences aside."

Han looked away.

"He might be able to help you deal with Jacen."

"Maybe."

"Listen, I've got a lot of ground to cover."

"Of course, I'll let you know if I hear anything."

As Lando sighed off Han's mind wondered.


Maz led Rey down a set of steps towards a room filled with relics of the past, along with plenty of credits. At the far end of the room the stone walls stopped and gave way to a cave, Maz stopped and Rey was pulled forward by the darkness.

"Step inside and your will be able to reach out though the living force and it will be able to show you who you are."

Rey stepped in and looked back to see she was engulfed with the darkness on all sides, voices took over the void and became hard to cypher. Rey put her hands over her ears and fell to her knees, they voices grew louder and became harder to deal with.

"QUITE!" she shouted.

A echo wave was sent out and as it spread it causing the voices to became hushed whispers, as she stood back up she looked around, and spoke.

"Show me the past."

Part of the darkness was interrupted as a figure came down the stairs, a old man with a white beard, came in to the room behind her.

"I feel it." they said "This place has a strong dark side presence."

Rye moved around to see the figure and as she did the world moved with them the. Soon after the Figure met up with a battle droid. Rey looked around and found the castle was gone and they where in clearing, with a Solar Sailor sat not quite far away.

"Contact Lord Sidious, and tell him the dark side energy here will be of great value, for the coming war."

"Roger, roger." replied the droid.

Soon everything ran past in at great speed, as the castle was erected around her.

"NO!" she shouted.

The void closed in around her, plunging her back in to the darkness.

"Show me, show me, my past."

The darkness gave way to fog, as the imprints of memories sped past, soon it slowed down on her arrival on Jakku. The for cleared and she must have been only six and watched as the ship flew off, before a figure came and stood behind her. Turning around, little Rey looked at Lor who knelt down before her and put her hands on her shoulders.

"Hello there young Rey."

"That's not my name, it's…"

"It is now, your are no longer who you ounce where." he said "Your now Rey San Tekka"

Everything shook and Rey found her self standing in the cave's mouth.


Maz picked up Luke's lightsaber, the one his father used at the Jedi temple, the same one Luke had trained with, before loosing in duel with Darth Vader. She looked over as Rey seemed to stand still at the mouth of the cave. She then went right back to the stairs.


FN was still waiting at the bar, other patrons had arrived and where being served by a droid. Maz came back and got on to device to see eye to eye with FN.

"I see your serious. Most people would have left at this point."

"I have nothing else waiting for me, I need a fresh start." he replied.

"Those fine young travellers over there." pointed out Maz.

FN looked over a bounty board.

"They will take labour for passage,

"Thank you." FN nodded as he left.

Maz looked at the weapon in her hands and sighed. Making his way over FN watched the bounty board as many a person argued over who got what bounty. As soon as he came over to a card game taking place there as well, he looked on as hands where dealt.

"What to get in on the action?" asked someone.

"No, I'm looking for someone who won't mind letting me work for passage to a new planet."

Everyone spun around and looked at him.


Poe and BB8 where out side by the landing bays as ships came and left, he was plucking grass as spoke.

"We can't just show up back home and say, hay we got what we needed but only half of it." he threw it away, but it didn't go far "We haven't got the power to attack them head on, even if we knew where they were hold it."

BB8 chimed in.

"Your right, as long as they only have half, there's still hope."

A sound echoed over his head and Poe jumped up and saw a squadron of fighters coming in.


FN was being led out side by a robot and alien, they showed of their ship parked with in view of the castle entrance, then a rain of blaster bolts fell down blowing it up.


A First Order cruiser sat above the planet.

"Shoot down every ship, and catch everyone that tries to flee." ordered Hux "Let no one escape."


In the sky Phasma was flying in fighter leading her squadron as they made passes taking down all the parked ships . She soon spotted the Millennium Falcon, but just as she was about to turn around and gun it down, the ships top canon opened fire.


"Die you First Order Dogs" 3PO shouted as she controlled the gun turret.

In the cockpit Han took of, as he tired to get them off the ground.


Phasma and her ships tuned to assault the castle as the gunships came down to drop of the ground forces.
