"Master Skywalker?" Rey followed the Jedi to his hut, confused. He had just thrown away the lightsaber over his shoulder like it was nothing. Now, he hid himself in his hut. She knocked on the door with her staff. "Master Skywalker? I'm from the Resistance. Your sister Leia sent me. We need your help. Hello?"

There was no response. And therefore returned to find the lightsaber. She came back, but knew it was futile to knock again so she left to get Chewie.

"He doesn't want to come out his hut," Rey explained, as she lead Chewie up the stone-steps. "He seems angry."

Chewie gave a shrug and a growl, as Rey knocked on the door once more with her staff.

"Go away." Luke said.

Rey stepped aside. "Your turn," she said to Chewie.

And Chewie kicked the door in. He went inside.

"Chewie, What are you doing here?" Luke exclaimed, surprised.

Chewie yelled at Luke.

"He says you're coming with us," Rey interpreted.

"How'd you find me?" Luke asked.

"Long story," said Rey. "We'll tell you on the Falcon."

"The Falcon?" Luke repeated. "Wait, Where's Han?"

Rey didn't know what to say, and it seemed neither did Chewie as he let out a sad growl. But Luke was going to find out anyway, and now that responsibility fell onto Rey's shoulders. It was a heavy burden, as Rey took a deep breath and said softly, "Han is dead. Kylo Ren killed him..."

"No," Luke shook his head, as he imagined it. It struck him like the lightning from a Sith's fingertips. It hurt all over, as he stumbled outside gasping for air. Tears formed in his eyes as his grief only grew greater. He shook his head repeatedly, as he sat down fearing he'd fall.

Rey watched the Jedi with a ache in her heart. But she fought back her tears. "The First Order will control all major systems within weeks. We need your help. We need the the Jedi Order back. We need Luke Skywalker."

Luke looked up at the girl, despising every word she had said. "You don't need Luke Skywalker," he shook his head as he stood up. "What did you think was going to happen here? That I was going to face the First Order with a laser sword? You think I didn't come to the most unfindable place for no reason at all?" He turned around. "Go away."
