It was a race against time to stop Ben from doing something he would regret. Our first stop was Passaana, there was a hidden clue there and it would mean one step closer to stopping the reemergence of Palpatine. We landed on the orange dessert planet and followed to the last know coordinates that Luke had left behind.

"Are you sure this is it?" Poe questioned

"These are the exact coordinates, that Master Luke left behind." C3P0 confirmed as we rounded a corner to up beat music and inhabitants having a party.

"What the hell is this?" Poe huffed in slight irritation

"The Acky Acky festival of the Ancestors. This celebration occurs once ever 42 years." C3P0 answered. I stared in awe at the mass celebration in front of me.

"Well that's lucky." Finn commented

"Lucky indeed. The festival is known for both it's colourful kites and its delectable sweets." We all turned to the droid who looked between us then behind him, not understanding our motion.

"Not the point 3P0. Have you failed to recognise that this is a unhelpful situation on a tight schedule." I retort "Let's go." we made our way through the crowds.

"I've never seen anything like this." Rey chimed enthralled but the spectacle. I would be too if I wasn't on a time sensitive mission.

"I've never seen so few way finders." Finn commented moving past us

"There is always random First order patrols in crowds like these so keep your heads, down. Chewie..." he aimed at more specifically "Let's split up and see what the locals know."

"Yes and while your at it find something that helps you blend in, head down may not be enough." Rey and I stuck together and I bought some cloths to cover our faces. I found Rey looking at a group of children watching a story time. I covered my head and handed one to her, i felt a tug on my jacket and a voice.

"She is saying welcome." 3P0 informed us of a little girl of the celebrations. I smiled and knelt down, Rey copying me. She spoke again and held up two necklaces. I bowed my head allowing her to slip it on.  "Her name is Nambi Ghima."

"That's an excellent name. I'm Rey and this is my sister Rory." Rey introduced us. Namibia spoke once more.

"She would be honoured to know your family name too." 3P0 translated making Rey and I glance at one another, since knowing I had a sister and then loosing my mother I personally had a identity crisis, sometimes it felt like I was no one. With Rey she had never had a last name. So both of us felt a little lost on the answer.

"We don't have one, we're just Rory and Rey." I boom  caught my attention. I left my sister to check the area but stopped short as Ben stood before me back in his mask as Kylo Ren.

"Palpatine wants you dead." he told me making me huff out a breath and rest a hand on my hip.

"Serving another master, I thought we'd made progress. You've reverted to the mask again." I sassed back pointing to the obvious.

"No. I have other plans." he answered not acknowledging my comment on the mask. "I offered you my hand once. I wanted you to take it...why didn't you?"

"All black is not really my style." I gestured to his outfit "Having only raven hair, I find suits me best. The same could be said for you. You keep having the opportunities to kill me, you can't, why?" I questioned back

"You can't hide Rory." he voiced back "Not from me."

"Who says I'm hiding, it's more of a competition...a race. You do remember that I can see through your mask, right? Your haunted, the death of what you did to your father is on repeat. I know I do." my hair gently hit my face as it blew in the soft breeze.

"Tell me does your sister still count the days since your parents left her." I scowled, how could he possibly know that? I didn't even know that until she told me and Rey hand never been captured by him "Such pain, such anger. Not only were you abandoned but she was, the sister you never knew. I don't want to have to kill you. I'm going to find you and I'm going to turn you to the dark side. When I offer my hand again, you'll take it. Your sister and our child will follow in our footsteps." that set me off, the threat to Hattie.

"You leave my daughter out of this!" I shout at him, he snatches the necklace from me and our connection is broken. I take off running to find the others.

"We need to leave right now. All of us back to the Falcon. Now." I breathe heavily

"Why?" Rey questions me

"Rey, he connected with me, he stole my necklace, he can use it to track us here. So now! Move!" we ran with our intention of heading back to the falcon.

"Freeze." he grinned to a halt in the path of a stormtrooper "Hold it right there. I've located the resistance fugitives. All units...." he was cut off by a arrow  to the eye. We spun round to the masked figure who saved us.

"Follow me." he walked away and I followed, instinctively through the crowd and onto a moving transport "Leia sent me a transmission." they spoke to the driver.

"How did you find us." Finn wondered and our saviour removed his mask

"Wookies stand out in a crowd." my jaw dropped 

"Son of a bitch!" I chimed as Chewie moved past us to hug the man. Then i took my turn. "I thought you bit the dust old man."

"Hey, less of the old." he chuckled pointing at me.

"This is General Lando Calrissian" 3P0 Introduced and I rolled my eyes

"They know who he is. This guy is a legend and the man who taught me how to swindle Han at cards. Age...5?"

"4, you're a young and fast learner kid." I beamed at him as I kept my arm around his waist in a side hug.

"It is a honour General." Finn nodded towards him.

"General Calrissian we're looking for Exegol," Poe stated and I felt him glance down at me for a moment and I returned the gaze with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course you are." he  moved away and brought up a hologram "Only two were made."

"A sith way finder. Luke Skywalker came here to find on." Rey voiced making Lando chuckle

"I know. I was with him. Luke and I were tailing an old Jedi hunter. Chi of Bestoon. He was carrying a clue that could lead us to a way finder. We followed his ship halfway across the galaxy here. When we got to his ship, it was abandoned. No clue, no way finder." he explained

"Is Ochi's ship still here?" I wonder

"It still out in the desert abandoned." he answered and I turned to the others.

"We need to get to that ship and search it again."
