A Lost Tale of Broken Stars : A Reylo Sequel

8 | THE FACE BEHIND THE MASK

"Every choice you have made, has led you to this moment."
–DARTH MAUL

Pasaana was a desert planet, but not like Jakku. There was a tribe of its inhabitants that welcomed her with opened arms, granting her shelter and food. She spent two days wandering, trying to find something. And when no luck was on her side, she'd return to her small little tent. She took out the old Jedi Texts and Luke's book. The coordinates of Pasaana were on there, and something else. A sketch of a Sith Way Finder, quite similar to the Sith Holocron. Luke came here, but he found nothing. She tried to call out to him with the Force but she received no answer.

"Help me," she whispered. "Please." She pinched her nose, scowling.

She was frustrated. But she refused to give up. She laid down to sleep, but when she woke she heard the thunderous noise of a spacecraft. She got up quickly and ran outside with her lightsaber at the ready and her blaster on her holster. These ships weren't from the First Order, but something about them felt ominous. And just like that, they opened fire.

"No!" Rey shouted, as the inhabitants were attacked. She watched in horror as the inhabitants were being killed. Instinct took over, as she ran to the outskirts of the camp and held her hand up. Her anger took its toll, as she used the Force to stop the spacecrafts midair. She can feel them struggling, using full thrusters. Then with one final push, Rey brought the spacecrafts down, crashing then onto the sand. Rey had hoped she killed them, but with the Force, she sensed they were still alive.

They got out of the spacecrafts, four people.

"Heretics," someone said.

Rey turned around, and saw a masked man in a cloak carrying a staff. "Who are you?"'she asked.

"Follow me," he said. Rey followed him into a Sand Mover, where he took off his helmet. "That was some show. You must be the new Jedi everyone's talking about."

"You must be Lando," Rey smiled.

"The one and only."

"You said Heretics."

"Yes, they must've figured out I was here." He was packing up a bag and prepping his weapons.

"Why are they here for you?"

"I know stuff. Stuff they want. Everyone always wants something these days. And you, why are you here?"

"This," Rey took out Luke's book and showed it to the General.

"Ah, the Sith Way Finder."

"The coordinates end here," she said.

"Check the Desert out in the Valley. There's an abandoned ship, but that's all we found. Nothing that points to a Sith Way Finder."

"He's still alive, isn't he?" She asked, lowering her voice. "The Emperor."

"Luke had his suspicions," he nodded. "But nothing to solidify them."

"I have to find him."

"Luke tried, but he found Snoke instead."
