The darkness filled the space and the only thing that broke it was the markings on the helmet worn by Kylo. As the blue light of a hologram filled the room, Kylo looked up from his knelt stance, as the figure looked down on him.

"Why have you asked me here?" came the voice.

"I need your guidance, show me show me the way."

"Your are not following my teachings, you look to far towards the darkside."


Kylo was looking as his lightsaber, it was all in pieces on the floor laid out in neat order. He picked up the crystal, and pressed down on it with his thumbs as he scratched down. Doing it over and over again,the blue coloured crystal soon turned a deep rouge colour, before it cracked and he was shot back in burst of light.


"If you are to truly understand my teachings you must learn to avoid the notion that darkside and the light are separate entities of the force."

Kylo looked up. "I want to, I want to learn more. To be able to control it."

"You can't control it!" they boomed "You can only tap in to it, and bend it to your will, there is no control. You tried to control your fate, you chose to bleed your own crystal, and not that of a fallen jedi."

"But I'm not a sith."

"Yet you follow their teachings."

"You told me to learn from the both sides of the force."

"There is a difference, between learning and following though."

"I'll try to do better."

The hologram faded out. Kylo stood up and turned to leave.

"What's this about a girl?"


"So what's this about a girl." asked Soto.

Poe and the others where all gathered inside a war room, built in to the ground, with walls either being bear dirt of walled panels.

"One of the others that fled Jakku was girl call Rey." Poe explained.

"She's no more then eighteen." chimed in Han.

"We can't waste our forces on a rescue mission." said Soto. "What we need to do is come up with a plan to find the Jedi."

Han sighed and left taking his exit down a hall, Maz followed after him.

"Han, you can't do this to your self."

"Do what?"

"Get your self wound up over a girl you barely know."

"It's not just that."

"Then what is it"

"For all I know Rey might be Jaina!" he exploded with anger.

Maz was shocked and tried to comfort Han as he calmed down.

"Calm down now." she said "How do you even know she is?"

"She's about her age, looking for who she is, and Lando found the village in ruins, but she wasn't there."

"Look, what ever happens, we can always try and get her back."


Back in the room Soto was finishing up.

"So this." he said as he brought up a hologram.

"Is all we've gathered on the First Order's base on Mandelor."

The others looked at the half of the base the hologram showed.

"It's not much but it's all the intel we have." he looked to FN "Can you fill us in."

"Of course." he said stepping up. "The First Order capital is here yes, and is used as their main base of operations." The hologram soon changed to the unknown regions in the west. "But they have a secret out post which is located on the planet Ilum."

"Wait isn't that where the Jedi get their crystals?" asked an officer.

"It was, the First Order uses an old Imperial military compound, they took it over before the attack on the Jedi,"

"How well do you know the layout?" asked Soto.

"Well, it was one of my first positions as a trooper, we all start of easy, with patrols and security detail."

"Why Ilum, why not take the holocron to the capital?"

"Ilum is know well fortified, both its moons have shield generators to cover the planet."

"Are you sure the Holocron is there?"

"They keep anything they don't want getting out in a vault."

"Okay then. I need you to lead the task force inside."

"If I must." FN agreed.

"Okay everyone rally all the fighters we have, and get them aboard and mobile command centre."

Poe spoke up "Is that wise? That ships is the only thing close enough to a cruiser we have." he whispered

"We haven't the rings to send out a full fleet." Soto replied in a quite tone. "Okay everyone move out." he called.


Night had settled in and Luke was by a fire watching the flames, as he looked in to them to see the past.


Steve was training a youngling teaching them to lift objects, the landscape was surrounded buy small huts, and other buildings. Luke came over and congratulated Steve on his training, then he looked over at the all the other Jedi had at work. Mara Jade came up from behind and caught him guard before she landed a kiss, on him. The two enjoyed each others company, before and explosion caught them of guard, First Order ships where shooting down the temple as troopers stormed in for gun ships lading in the distance.

Luke looked to see the youngling where the first to go as Steve charged in to battle, Mara Jade followed and Luke joined in. It soon became an all out war, but the Jedi had the upper hand, then a dark cloaked figure stepped out from the distance holding a blue cross guard lightsaber. Luke stopped and watched them, and they seemed to watching him, he was about to speak up, when Mara cut in his line of vision and stood before him. Panic fell over Luke as he raced over cutting down troopers as he went.

As he reached Mara Jade the figure cut her down and turned to Luke, Luke drew his green blade to attack, but stopped.


"How you doing there Luke." came a voice.

Luke was pulled out of the fire and saw Steve was there.

"It's late, you need to rest, we've got to make sure we can leave this time. Are you sure it was a good idea to leave Lor that Holocron, I mean he's not on our side."

"Lor, grew up in clone wars, he's used to the dogmatic few of the old Jedi. By the time he became a full Jedi, the war came to a close and he managed to escape the empire."

"Yes, but we've been stuck here ever since the First Order somehow found us, and attacked."

"I trust Lor, as far as anyone knows, were long gone from here."

The moon light gave way to the ruins of the temple.

"But, why the holocron? Surely we could."

"No." said Luke "You don't see it."
"I know your the grand master but what are you doing."

"Who ever find us first, will decide our fate."

"I'd rather some smuggler finds us so we can leave."

Luke sighed "Why did you join."

"To pass on what I had learnt and become a Jedi."

"We are meant to be the protectors of the peace, not soldiers. But we fought in war and it led our to destruction."

"But it was for peace."

"It was for the republic."

"The Jedi should not serve a governing body, but the people themselves."

"Obi-Wan and Yoda taught you well."

"They did."

"So, are we just going to be staying here."

"No."


Kylo was walking though the halls of Ilum base, he made a turn and came to a room with Rey strapped down.

"I've been in your mind, I know you've seen the holocron, tell me what's on it.

"I don't know." insisted Rey.

"Do you want to know how I got in your head."

"No, not really."

"Wile Sith learnt to read thoughts, I found a way to go deeper, to reach in to someone's subconscious and rifle around in their memories."

"Your a sith, no wonder you evil."

"I, AM, NO, SITH!" he shouted, lashing out.

The very room shook as he tapped in to his rage. Rey become fearfully silent.

"I am trying to open up the Jedi to see both sides, which means I have to embrace the darkness and the light." he slammed his fist down next to Rey's head. "Tell me what was on the Holocron."


Soto was talking to Poe as they walked though base.

"So when do we begin our attack?" asked Poe trying to keep up.

"As soon as we are ready to lunch."

Poe stopped and hurried after the General. "You can't be serious sir."

The general stopped short of a new room and turned his head to address Poe.

"Captain, this is going to be a turning point for us all, we need to fight back wile we can, we can't let the First Order claim, much more of an advantage then they already have. "

Poe watched as the general stepped out into a hanger bay. The room was dug in to earth, and had halls ways to other area's and housed everything needed to work on fighter.

"Then we rally more people to our cause." insisted Poe.

"That's not going to happen, we are fighting a losing battle, all we can do is try to claim one more victory."

As they exited they stepped on to the runway that sat in the middle of valley, either side more hangers had been dug in to the landscape.


Han and Maz where holding back by the Falcon which sat on the runway.

"It's hard to believe how long this has been hear." recalled Maz.

"How do you know."

"Mal told me how he dug out this area to act as his droid factory, before he joined the C.I.S."

"I forgot you where a separatist." said Han.

"The old republic was corrupt, you saw how it became the empire."

Han sighed.

Soon FN came over now in a resistance uniform, holding a blaster with the saber on his belt.

"Looking good kid." said Han.

"The Resistance is willing to fully man the Falcon, if you join the landing party." said FN.

"Why are you even on their side."

"I only want a way out of here, they're giving me that by offering a way to far off world in the republic to start a new life."

"Well, I might as well join. I'm old but I still got some fight left in me." he said wiping out his blaster.

"Do you still carry that sorry excuse for pistol then?" teased Maz.

"Master Solo." called 3PO as he came down the ramp. "I've received a line of communication for Mr Calrissian, that requires your immediate attention."

"I'll be back." said Han.

Soon Poe came over and joined the three.

"Well FN, this might be are last time we meet."

"You've been an adequate travel companion." smiled FN.

Poe took his comment in stride. "Are you coming to Maz?"

"Yes, I have a little score to settle with them as well." said Maz.


In the cock pit Han sat down and pressed a button to patch though Lando.

"What you got Lando?"

"Some good news, I was able to find her."

"WHAT!" burst out Han as shot forward.

"Calm down buddy, she was going by a different name here. But I found her, I did think about calling Leia but I'll give you that privilege."

Han sat back in his chair.

"Are you okay Han, I though you'd feel better."

"I will be ounce we get Luke back."

"So your going after him after all."

"I have to, I need to apologise."

"After all this time. What changed?"

"Hearing Jaina is back, I fell like I can stop blaming Luke for Jacen's death."

"Han you where his father."

"And Luke was his mentor."


The Falcon was settling down out side Maz's castle, Luke and Han where in the pilot seat wile R2 watched on.

"What's Maz calling us out for?" asked Luke.

"She found this cave under the castle."

"Is she still trying to open up this place."

"Hay at least Chewie, can rest easy knowing they can have a home."

"Do you miss travailing with him?"

"Some times, but at least I know he went out looking our for the kids."

"Oh speaking of, Anakin's doing real well."

Han seemed put off.


The two made their approach as Maz came out side.

"I'm so glad you're here." she said clutching their hands.

"What's this about a cave?" asked Han.

"It's down in the basement, I'll show you."

Stepping in they found the castle was under going repairs and refurbishments, as walls where being taken down and others supported back up.

"So how did you find it?" asked Luke.

"We were trying to light up the basement for storage and we found the cave." Maz gave shiver at it's mention.

"So why call us?" asked Han.

"I really needed a Jedi."

"Sorry Han I guess your just Taxi service." smiled Luke.

"First I can't visit my kids at the temple, they have to visit me and know I'm your taxi service."

"Leia took my X-wing back for republic service." smiled Luke.

"I'm only kidding Kid." teased Han.


Maz led them by torch light down to the cave.

"We didn't get the lights installed this far down yet."

They stopped seeing the darkness engulf the far end of the room.

"I feel a dark presence." said Luke.

"It's just a cave." said Han.

"Don't be fooled, this cave holds a dark secret."

The two made their approach and stepped in.

Luke was met with his own dark reflection surrounded by all his pupils as Sith younglings.


Han stumbled around for short wile.

"Dam, I can't see a thing. Luke, Luke you there." he called out.

Soon it all became clear and Han spotted a hooded figure.

"Oh there you are."

Having laid a hand of them he took a step back as it was his son Anakin who know was looking back at him, his eyes where yellow and he held a red blade in his hand.

"No." said Han as he raised his blaster.

Soon Luke stepped out from behind Anakin.

"Thank you master." he said before diving his blade right though Luke cutting him in half.


Luke reached out his hands and the world seemed to shake and before to long the dark vision was gone and replaced with a clear thoughts and voices coming though.

Han was shooting his own son who deflected the bolts away, before it was all washed away and he was caught by Luke.

"Hay Han, Han. It's all over, it was just a dream."

Han yanked himself free.

"Han are you okay?" asked Luke.

"No." he snapped pushing Luke away.

"Your training Anakin to fail." he shouted "He needs his parents not a teacher."

"He needs to learn how to control the darkness with in him." insisted Luke.

"I'm taking my son and leaving your academy."

"Han don't do this."


Han sat back I quite refection in the falcon.

"Lando, tell Leia I'll be brining Luke back to see his Niece and Nephew."
