Hey everybody. Thanks for your reviews of the last chapter. Pagan-seijou and Iais89, I didn't mind the new direction but the way it was presented was sloppy to say the least. The movie sort of felt like it had the storyline of the Empire Strikes Back, but the plot of Return of the Jedi, if you get what I am saying. The irrational steps the characters took just seemed to be forced or not occurring organically like the originals.

Luke could tell that the girl's lips were moving franticly, spitting out information in compact sentences. Her words were met with deaf ears as she continued, the secluded Jedi blocked her out, he wanted no part of this. Luke sensed the moment she entered the sacred tree something was unusual about the girl, perhaps she is one with the Force. However, the timid man dared not to tap into the ancient power. He had sworn to close himself off from the outside since the incident ten years ago.

"Master Skywalker?" Rey questioned, the old man seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. She wondered if he was even paying attention.

Briskly, Luke turned around and left.

Rey shook her head in disbelief, a dumbfounded expression crossed her face. She followed the Jedi out of the tree. "Master Skywalker!" She called to him.

"Don't call me that." The old man grunted as proceeded to climb uphill, Rey continued to protest tailing Luke back to a village area. The scavenger had to momentary stop to take in her surroundings. The place was small. Several dome huts made formed from stone, but what caught her attention was the aliens dressed in white, a unique race she had yet to see. The slamming of a metal door brought back Rey's attention. Hurrying over to the hut, she stopped at the entrance and genteelly used her staff to knock on the door.

Silence was his response.

"Hello?!" Rey beckoned.

"What is wrong with him?" She whispered to herself. Circling the hut, she scanned the area to pinpoint her location. "For an old man he sure does have a lot of stamina." she breathed and sat down near the cliff side of the stone house. The water below her splashed with a subtle calmness as she rested. Peering down the ledge she notices something glimmering beneath the currents. Rey squinted her eyes and was surprised to find a submerged X-wing fighter. "That's how he probably got here."

After a few minutes of waiting and the occasional shouting to see if Luke would come out, the scavenger had enough. The track down to the Falcon would take at least half an hour, but she was in a hurry.

Chewie was busy fending his equipment, the native birds of the island were harassing the Wookie. "Chewie, I found him."

Well, where is he? The Wookie growled as he swatted another bird off his box of tools. "He told me to go away." Rey said, boarding the Falcon. "We'll wait till Finn comes back, you have a door to take down."

…

Luke did not want to leave his hut, he was half certain the girl would be outside, sitting in the front like a pest that wouldn't go away. For the past two hours he has been conflicted with himself, his sister was in trouble, and that lone was a good enough reason to come out of hiding. However, the more cynical side of him won the inner conflict at the end. He would just make the situation worse. He was beginning to regret leaving R2 with the resistance, that was most likely how they found his location, the old Jedi thought.

The clanking of the metal door snapped the Jedi out of concentration. He knew it, she's still there. The door knocking of the door continued. "Go away!" He Luke yelled in irritation.

Right after that, it was someone planted a bomb in front of his door as the metal plate ripped out of its hinges and flew across the room.

Luke turned around. "What the…" He was stunned to see a familiar presence. "Chewie!" The Jedi exclaimed.

Chewbacca roared into the face of his old friend, he has been holding in his annoyance with Luke for several hours now. Behind the Wookie the same girl reappeared along with another companion. "He says your coming back with us!" Rey stated.

Luke sighed "What are you doing here?" he questioned his old friend.

Rey could hardly keep in her anticipation "Long story. We'll tell you on the Falcon."

"Falcon?" Luke muttered, he hasn't said the name of his friend's old ship in quite a few years. It felt weird to her the words come out of his own mouth. At that moment something sparked in his brain, he had a bad feeling in his gut. Peering pass the three he couldn't see the smuggler. "Wait. Where's Han?"

Chewie made a sad growl. Luke had to take a step back, the old man took his eyes off the Wookie and then at Rey, a sorrow expression painted on her face. It took a moment for the Jedi to realize the worst had happen. "He's dead. And everyone else you have ever cared about will too if you don't come with us." Finn interjected.

…

Leia scanned the holograms methodically as she counted the number for escape pods entering the cruiser.

"Oh, no! Looked!" Someone exclaimed.

Worry trembled the general as she moved over to the front windows and looked out. Several miles between them she could see a star destroyer looming closer to them. Leia anxiously watched as several more ships came out of hyperspace before a dreadnought finally appears in the forefront.

"General, what do we do?" One of her lieutenants asked.

"Get me Poe." Leia commanded, she focused on the dreadnought's auto cannons. The massive guns were beginning to glow red, preparing to fire.

"General Leia?" Poe asked on the other side of the com.

"Poe, can you take out the ship's defensive cannons we need to buy this cruiser more time to get everyone on board."

"I am already on it."

…

BB-8 was nervously ticking in the back dash of Poe's X-wing. "Come on buddy, happy beeps." Poe jested as he primed his fuel to his thrusters. Punching several switches, he opens a communication line between his ship and started broadcasting to all the First Order Fleets.

"Attention, this is Commander Poe Dameron of the Republic Fleet. I have an urgent communique for General Hugs." A smile crept out of Poe, as he made fun of the notorious red head commander of the First Order.

"This is General Hux of the First Order. The Republic is no more. Your fleet are Rebel scum and war criminals. Tell your precious princess that there will be no terms. There will be no surrender. You and your friends are doomed, we will wipe your filth from the galaxy."

Man, how pretentious this guy sounds, Poe thought as he watched the meter on his dash fill to a hundred percent. "Well Hugs, that's not what your mother tells me- BB-8 punch it!"

Poe hanged on tightly as he felt his X-Wing fly with great speed towards the dreadnought. Streams of green energy shot his direction as he made it closer to the ship. "Whoo-ho that's got a kick." Slowing down his vehicle, the pilot swiveled out of harms way as he began blasting the ship's guns.

Hux watched on from a star destroyer as the rebel light craft made its way towards their warship. "He's insane." Thinking that the fighter would be blown to bits he was surprised to see small explosions trailing the dreadnought as its defensive cannons erupted into fireballs. The smile on Hux's face became a worrying frown. "Captain Canandy, why aren't you blasting that puny ship!?" The redhead yelled into his holoprojector.

"That puny ship is too small, we can't hit it at this close range. We need to scramble our fighters… five minutes ago."

"He'll never penetrate our armor!"

"No general, he's clearing out our surface cannons."

Hux took a shallow breath and gritted his teeth. "Are your auto-cannons primed?"

"Yes, primed and ready sir."

"Well what are you waiting for. Fire on that base!" Hux watched as the dreadnought shot several bursts of red energy at the planet. A sense of satisfaction befell upon him as the green surface became a mushroom cloud of flames.

…

"The last transport is in the air. The evacuation is complete." Leia heard on her side. Letting out a sigh of relief she connected her channel to Poe. "You did it Poe. Now get your squad out of this place."

"No General, we can do this. We have the chance to take out a dreadnought. These things are fleet killers we can't let them get away!" The stubborn pilot yelled.

Leia watch the hologram of the enemy ship take several more hits before it showed the last defensive cannon going out. "Disengaged now commander, that is an order!" the general demanded.

"But…" Poe was about to respond but was cut off by a furious Leia. "Now, Commander!"

"… Black Leader returning, squads return to fleet."

Leia breathed, leaning back in her chair she watched as several bombers and fighter jets came back aboard. "Go!" She waved, feeling the shake in heir seat as the cruiser punched into hyperspace.

Hux grunted in anger before he composed himself. "What do we do now General?" One of his officers asked. "They think we can't trace them. Ha. Tell commander Canandy to have his fighters ready. They aren't going nowhere." Hux face the empty vastness of space as it dynamically became a vortex of blue.

…

"I am telling you the truth. Ben is no longer with the First Order…" Rey had to pause, a lump caught her throat as she tried to continue. "He's being held captive by Snoke. The First Order will take control of all major systems within weeks. We need your help, we need the Jedi Order back. We need Luke Skywalker." Rey step forwards, pleading for a response.

Luke sat on the cold rock, the wind tussled his grey hair in a messy manner as he listened to Rey's words. The old man looked at the girl, he could tell she wasn't giving him the entire truth. The news that Ben might have broken free of the evil Sith's grasp only to be captured again only put his heart into a deeper pit of sorrow. "You don't need Luke Skywalker."

Rey furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Did you hear a word I just said?"

"You think what? I'm gonna walk out with a laser sword and face down the whole First Order? What do you think was going to happen here?" Luke rose up to face the young girl. "You think I cam here to the most unfindable place in the galaxy for no reason at all? Go away." The Jedi turned his back on Rey and her crew as he made his way back up to his hut.

"I am not leaving without you!" Rey shrieked in frustration before turning back to look at Chewie and Finn who gave her a blank stare.

…

The next day Rey was sitting on Luke's front steps as he came out to do his daily routine. "Your're still here."

"I said, I won't leave without you."

Luke made his way past her. "Suit it yourself."

For the rest of the day the scavenger trailed Luke like a lost puppy. Following him to the edges of the island to discover his repulsing appetite of drinking green milk straight from the breast of a Thala-siren. To the edges of a dangerous cliff side where the old master would hunt for enormous fish with a pole. "You're wasting your time." Luke shook his head as he climbed his way to another rocky mountain.

Rey stared daggers into the back of the mysterious master as she trailed behind. The further they walked uphill, the more tired Rey became. "How are you doing this?" She questioned, using her staff to give her some support. Luke chuckled but paid no real attention to her as he continued up the rugged landscape.

"Just a few second." Rey muttered to herself as she stood to catch her breath. Throughout her years of living on Jakku, the scavenger has trained her body to be physically strong and prepared to meet the demands of her harsh lifestyle, who knew it was thousands of stairs which would be her greatest match. Continuing up the flight of stone steps, another tingling sensation swelled in her body. Focusing, she found her senses yet again being drawn to another path just like the tree. Seeing that Luke will always end up going back to his hut, she decided that she needed to scratch the curiosity that was pulling at her and diverged paths.

The grass covered ground indicated that the trail has not been walked on in a long time. Following her instincts, she made her way up wards until she found another line of stairs, and at the very end an entrance to a cave. The carved-out tunnel was eerily empty, every step she made cause a small tap to echo. Continuing ahead, Rey ended up at the center of the cave with a circular etching submersed in water and an entrance out to a stone bench facing another cliff.

"Who are you?" Luke mumbled, this time in fascination.

Rey stayed quite for a minute, the area was suspiciously familiar, maybe from a dream long ago. "I know this place."

"Built a thousand generations ago." Luke stated dryly as he walked closer to Rey. "Just like the tree with the books. These ruins are what remain, just like me, they are the last of the Jedi religion. You've seen this place. You've seen this island?" Luke acquired.

Rey spun around, taking her surroundings. "Only in dreams." Her voice so soft Luke barely heard her.

"Who are you?"

Still caught in the mystery of the structure Rey non-chantingly replied. "The Resistance sent me."

"They sent you? What is so special about you? Where are you from?" The Jedi master did not buy it for one second that they would send some regular girl to find and bring him back.

Rey felt her heart slump as she digests the questions being asked. "Nowhere."

"No one's from nowhere."

"Jakku." Rey flatly reiterated.

"Alright, that is pretty much nowhere." Luke shook his head in agreement for once. "Why are you here, Rey from nowhere?"

"The Resistance sent me." The scavenger replied again. "We need your help, the First Order…"

Luke had to stop her little speech again, "No, why are you here?"

Rey had to take a second to think. After everything that has happened in the past few weeks she didn't know how to properly respond. Was it to get Ben back, was it try and let go of her parents, was it to discover who she really was? Nothing made any sense. "Something, has always been inside of me. But now, it's awake, and I am afraid. I don't know what it is or what to do with it. And I need help." The scavenger became teary eyed, her need to belong was what kept her alive all these years.

Look tightened his jaw. "You need a teacher. I can't teach you."

"Why not?" Rey begged for an answer. "I've seen your daily routine, you're not busy."

Luke closed his eyes then shook his head. "I will never train another generation of Jedi. I came to this island to die." Walking over to the exit of the cave, he paused.

"Why? Leia sent me here with hope. If she was wrong, she deserves to know why. We all do."

Luke could not respond, it was hard turning back, but he had to. Leaving Rey inside the cave, he made his way down hill till he reached the sacred tree. Going to the table, he sat on a bench and began to rub his eyebrows in frustration. Taking in deep breaths, he began wondering again if he had made the right choice, staring at his old lightsaber.

Beep!

Luke spun his head around. For the first time in many years a genuine smile appeared on his face. "R2? R2!" He laughed. The droid skidded across the ground to it's former master, making a load of commotion. "I know. The sacred island." R2 became more energetic by the moment. "Hey, watch the language." The Jedi placed his hand on the droids' head. "I missed you, old friend."

"I wish I can make you understand, but I can't come back."

R2 quickly turned its head to the right and out of its light socket began to project a blue beam. Luke watched, comprehending what the little droid was playing.

"Years ago, you served my father in the clone wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the empire…"

A rush of nostalgia came in as he watched his sister plea for help from his old master, Obi-Won Kenobi. How far has he fallen since his youth he thought, as he remembered the first time watching the hologram feed. His younger self would have jumped at the opportunity to help those in need, now he is nothing but an old hermit living out his days in seclusion. His heart pounded in distress as he remembered his failure to protect his students, his nephew. "That was a cheep move." The old master eyed the droid.

"This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-won Kenobi. You're our only hope."

Hope. The word rung in his head.

Tapping the droids head with his hand once more, Luke looked up at the hole in the tree. It was night out and the stars were shining brightly. Standing up, the old Jedi looked at his lightsaber and reached for it. Holding it in his robotic hand, the weapon brought shivers down the old man's spine. It's been years since he last held it, the dust had layered over the metal. The weight of the saber, heavier than he remembered.

…

Rey tried to sleep quietly inside the Falcon, Chewie was cooking some of those orange and white spotted birds which she discovered were called Porgs. The smell of the animals made the scavenger semi hungry, she wondered if they tasted any good but quickly digressed as she had to wake up early to catch Luke. Hoping tomorrow would be different.

The buzzing of several controls within the Falcon caught her attention. She wondered who was messing with the ship. "Finn, is that you?"

"Shhhh!" She heard the trooper groan from the other side of the room.

"hmmm?" Getting up, she maneuvered her way to the pilot deck. Again, the Force tugged at her. Upon seeing the figure standing behind the seats, she had to rub her eyes several times to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

"Luke?" She cried in excitement.

The master turned around. "Tomorrow at dawn. Three lessons. I will teach you the ways of the Jedi." Luke grabbed at his pouch, pulling out his saber. The old man stared at the weapon for a brief second, almost as if he was about to regret what he was about to do, but quickly he suppressed the thought. Courteously, he held out the weapon to an Rey.

"I can't, it's yours." Rey objected, stunned by his actions.

"No, it's yours now." The old Jedi grabbed one of Rey's arm and put the lightsaber in her hand.

Rey gave the master a perplexed stare as he returned her gaze. "It's time for the Jedi… to end."
