The Youngest Skywalker

Gas Leaks, Han Solo and Rathtars, Oh My!

"Banai." Noah responded to the buzz of his comlink.

"Are you okay, love? I sensed that Tekka was killed, Poe was captured and then in a crash, and you were being chased by Tie Fighters." The familiar voice of his wife said.

"All that did happen on Jakku, Kyra. But don't worry, we'll be headed to the Resistance base soon with the droid as long as we don't run into any more trouble. We had help from a young man named Finn, and a local scavenger named Rey who is a spectacular flying ace." Noah reported.

"Really? I'd like to meet her. How old is she?" Kyra asked.

"Somewhere in her late teens." Noah guesstimated.

"I'll check back later, Nowie. Leela, Shmi and Ahsoka are ready to start practicing again, and they say hi." Kyra said.

"Tell them I say hello back, and I already miss them. I miss you as well." Noah smiled.

The communication ended and Noah found Rey and Anakin fixing the ship, while Finn was asking the droid where the base was.

"The Ileenium system?!" Rey stared in disbelief.

"Yep, that's the one!" Finn said.

"I'll drop you guys off at Paniima Terminal." Rey said.

"You're not coming with us?" Anakin asked.

"Why? You're not thinking of going back to Jakku, are you?" Noah asked. "The way that Unkar Plutt guy treats you and the other scavengers is completely unacceptable! I feel very strongly about this because my wife had a similar experience briefly as Jabba the Hutt's slave!"

"Agreed. We can't go back to Jakku." Anakin said.

"BACK TO JAK-why does everyone want to go back to Jakku?! That place is-" Finn snarled.

"No. no. The one I'm pointing to. No. No! No!" Rey said frustrated.

"Kid, this ship is gonna be flooded with poisonous gas if Rey doesn't get this old bucket fixed!" Norah growled.

Finally Finn had the right tool for Rey to fix it.

"You're a pilot. You can fly anywhere. Why go back? You got family? A boyfriend? Cute boyfriend?" Finn asked.

"None of your business, that's why." Rey answered.

"Well either way, you are still part of a larger fight, kiddo." Noah said.

The ship lurched and everyone aboard immediately went to the cockpit. They saw a ship that they were entering.

"Nothing's working. All controls are overridden." Rey said.

"Don't tell me there are more First Order thugs!" Anakin snarled.

"I don't think I've seen this type of ship before." Norah commented.

"What do we do?" Rey asked.

"You said 'poisonous gas' right?" Finn asked.

"I just fixed it."

"Can you un-fix it?" Finn addressed the idea.

They set to the engine.

"I don't know if this plan will work, but it's worth a try." Noah said. "Here, put these masks on. I'll be up here." Noah instructed.

He put on a mask as well and hid while the young ones set to work. He saw two familiar faces enter the ship.

"Han and Chewie," Noah breathed in realization. It wasn't the First Order.
