Disclaimer: Same thing


It had been a full year since The First Order had teamed up with Champa and had taken over Mandalore. Though many Mandalorans had remained loyal to the true King and Queen, others decided to join the First Order.

What was left of the Resistance was now hiding on a planet known as Ajan Kloss, a jungle like planet where Luke and Hunter had trained Leia in the ways of the force many years ago.


We see Rey meditating while floating in the air as rocks floating in the air.

"Be with me. Be with me. Be with me" She muttered softly "They're not with me. Ugh"

The rocks then dropped as she floated down and was approached by her Master Hunter Archer.

"Rey, you must be patient" Hunter said.

"I'm starting to think it is isn't possible... to hear the voices of the Jedi who came be came before" Rey said to the King.

"Nothing's impossible Rey" Hunter said.

"Nothing's impossible" Rey repeated."Im gonna meet up with Axel then run the training course."

"You're gonna need this then" Hunter said handing the Skywalker saber to her.

Rey nodded as she took the saber and walked off.

Axel was meditating in the air while wearing silver Mandalorian armor. He then could sense Rey's presences as she approached him from behind.

"Let me guess, you couldn't hear the voices?" Axel said as he opened his eyes and look down at his girlfriend.

"I don't understand what I'm doing wrong" Rey groaned in frustration. "I've been meditating for weeks and I still can't hear them"

"Patience my love" Axel said floating down to her. "In time you will hear them when you are ready and not before"

"You make it sound so easy" Rey said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I know, but I'm not exactly the most patient man in the galaxy" Axel said as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "How about you complete the training course and if you do a good job ill give you a little reward?"

"Ooh, what kind of reward?" Rey ask in a flirtatious tone.

"I don't know, maybe something like this?" Axel said as the two kissed passionately.

"You like that?"

"Yeah I do" Rey giggled as the kissed some more. Then Axel pulled away while Rey pouted.

"That's all you get until you finish the course" Axel said playfully.

"Fine" Rey said in playful annoyed tone as she ran off to do the course.

While she was gone Axel felt a sharp pain in his head. He groaned in pain as he saw visions in his head. One of them was of him wearing black beskar armor and a helmet with a glowing red visor. He then saw himself sitting on an evil looking throne with Rey wearing a black cloak with the hood up sitting on his lap. Then he heard a sinister voice echoing in his head.

"Join me and you will become more than a King. You will become...Emperor!"

Axel then snapped out of the vision and breathed heavily. He had no idea what hell he saw but he knew it wasn't good.

"Rey!" He called out as he ran and looked for her. "Rey! Rey where are you!?"

"Over here!" Rey called out.

Axel then saw Rey and ran up to her as the two embraced each other with a hug.

"Are you ok?" Axel asked.

"I'm fine, but you saw them too didn't you?" Rey asked "The visions?"

"Yeah I saw them" Axel said before noticing BB-8 was stuck under a tree.

Both Rey and Axel ran and lifted the tree of the little droid.

"BB-8, I'm so sorry" Rey said

"You gotta be aware of your surroundings Rey" Axel said.


Back at the base Rey and Axel met up with Hunter and Sabine.

"I didn't finish the training course" Rey said packing her belongings "Got distracted. I'm just not feeling myself. I know it looks... it looks like I'm making excuses."

"Rey, don't tell me what things look like. Tell me what they are" Hunter said.

"I think I'm just tired. That's all" Rey said to her master.

"You have been training a lot lately" Sabine said "But even the strongest warriors in the galaxy need rest"

Rey then unclip the Skywalker saber from her belt and handed it to Hunter.

"I will earn your god brother's saber..." She said as he took it. "One day..."

"You're a great fighter Rey, but your constant need to prove yourself is clouding your concentration" Hunter said calmly but sternly. "Until you learn to control it, an apprentice you will remain"

"Yes Master" Rey said.


Later Rey was studying the Jedi texts when she felt a pair of lips touch her cheek.

"I'm trying to study here" Rey giggled as she looked up and saw her boyfriend "Plus I didn't finish the course"

"But you would have, if it wasn't for those visions" Axel said smiling "So think of it as a semi-reward"

"Why do I put up with you?" Rey said playfully rolling her eyes.

"Because I'm handsome" Axel joked as Rey gently slapped him on his chest. "And because you love me"

"Yes I do" Rey said as they shared a kissed.

"Rey! Axel!" Rose called out. "Falcon's back!"

The couple along with BB-8 ran up to the Falcon and saw that it was on fire.

"What the hell happened?" Axel called out.

"Hey guys" Poe greeted as he walked up to them "Really could've used you two out there"

"How'd it go?" Rey asked

"Really bad, actually" Poe said "Really bad"

"We can see that. Now again, what the hell happened?" Axel demanded.

"What did you do to the Droid?" Poe asked seeing BB-8 was slightly damaged.

"What did you do to the Falcon?" Rey countered.

"Falcon's in a lot better shape than he is" Poe said.

"BB-8 isn't on fire!" Axel said

"What's left of him isn't on fire!" Poe said.

"He's only missing a plate!" Axel said.

"Tell us what happened" Rey demanded.

"You two tell me first" Poe said.

"You know what you are?" Rey asked "You're difficult, Really difficult. You're a difficult man"

"She's not wrong Poe" Axel said making the pilot groaned.

"Guys!" Finn called out as they gave him a hug.

"Maybe you could shed some light on what happened buddy?" Axel asked as Chewie roared. "He did what?"

"You lightspeed skipped?" Rey asked as they walked back to him.

"It got us back here, didn't it?" Poe said.

"Poe that ship is older than my grandmother! It can't lightspeed skip in it's condition!" Axel said.

"Actually it can" Poe said.

"What happened?" Rey asked as they all walked together.

"Bad news, that's what" Poe replied.

"So no spy?" Axel asked.

"No. Spy." Poe replied.

"There's a mole in The First Order and they sent us a message" Finn said.

"Well, we know it ain't Kylo or Selena, so that narrows it down..." Axel said sarcastically.

Yeah well we would know more if you two didn't spend so much time training and smooching!" Poe said harshly "You two are the best fighters we got. We need you. Out there and not here"

Later the entire Resistance met up for a small meeting.

"We decoded the intel from the First Order spy... and it confirms the worst" Poe said crossing his arms. "Somehow Palpatine returned"

Everyone in the Resistance gasped and started murmuring while Rey grasped her boyfriend's hand in fear.

"No...N-no that can't be right" Hunter said as everyone looked to him. "Palpatine died when my godfather Anakin threw him down the reactor shaft of the second Death Star. I know because Luke and I were there when it happened!"

"Do we believe this?" Rose asked.

"It cannot be." Aftab said.

"He's been planning his revenge. His followers have been building something for years." Poe said.

"Like what, another Death Star?" Sabine asked.

"No worse" Poe replied "The largest fleet the galaxy has ever known. He calls it the Final Order"

Just then Axel started having flashbacks to the dreams he had of all the Star Destroyers and Palpatine cackling along with seeing his hidious face.

"In 16 hours, attacks on all free worlds begin" Poe continued "The Emperor and his fleet have been hiding on a world called Exegol"

"Exegol does not appear on any star chart" 3PO said "But legend describes it as the hidden world of the Sith"

Just then Rey ran back to her bag and searched through on of the books she was reading.

"What is it Rey?" Axel asked as she walked up to him.

"Look at this my love" Rey said showing Axel a picture of a pyramid like object. "It's called a Sith Wayfinder. Luke had been looking Exegol as well and they only way to find it is with one of these"

"That's great, but the problem is we don't know where to find one" Axel said. "Let's talk to to dad, maybe he can help"


Later Rey and Axel had told what Hunter about the Wayfinder.

"Luke told he was trying to find a Wayfinder years" He said "He wanted me to come along but I was too busy"

"Being King, we know" Axel said.

"More importantly being a father" Hunter said smiling at Axel. "Maybe if I had gone, none of this would've happened"

"There was no way you could've known" Rey said.

"Dad we to go out and find one so we can find Exegol" Axel said "Do we have your blessing to leave?"

"If i say no, are planning to go anyway?" Hunter asked.

"Pretty much" Axel smirked.

"Fine, just be careful ok?" Hunter asked.

"We will dad" Axel said


Later Axel and the other's about to leave until...

"You weren't planning on leaving without saying goodbye were you?"

Axel turned and saw his grandmother Ahsoka standing there.

"This isn't goodbye grandma" Axel said "Im coming back"

"Yes, but I may not be around when you do" She said with a sad smile.

"What are you-" Axel then stopped in mid sentence when realized what she meant "No..."

"Axel..." Ahsoka sighed as she sat on a rock "I'm not getting any younger. And soon my time will come"

"Then I'll stay" Axel said sitting next to her. "I need to be here when it happens"

"No, they need you sweetheart. Rey needs you" Ahsoka said.

"But-but I can't leave you" Axel said with tears in his eyes.

"I will always be with you child" Ahsoka said kissing her grandson's forehead. "Remember that always. Can you do that?"

"I think so..." Axel said through his tears.

"That's my sweet boy" Ahsoka said "I'm so proud of you and so is your grandfather"

"I love you Grandma" Axel said sniffling while giving one last hug to his grandmother.

"I love you too Axel" Ahsoka said hugging back. "Now go, they need you"

Axel then gathered his belongings and headed to the Falcon. Before he got on board he looked at Ahsoka once last time as she waved goodbye.

Ahsoka let out a sigh as she watched her grandson and his friend's take off.

"He's just like you in everyway" She said.

"I know, you forget he's my grandson too"
