Full Summary: Ben Solo has lost faith in the force. Having not seen his parents in 23 years, and suffering at the hands of Snoke, he runs away from everything, letting the universe solve its own problems. Hiding away from both the First Order and the Resistance, he lives as a scavenger on Jakku with a reprogrammed BB-9e, named Sphero. Until, one day he gets caught in the middle of a situation he never wanted to find himself in. Now on the run from the First Order with a fellow scavenger, a rogue Stormtrooper and a BB-unit carrying a map to Luke Skywalker, Ben can only hope that this ends soon. But, the force has other plans.


Luke Skywalker has vanished. In his absence, the sinister FIRST ORDER has risen from the ashes of the Empire and will not rest until Skywalker, the last Jedi, has been destroyed.

With the support of the REPUBLIC, General Leia Organa leads a brave RESISTANCE. She is desperate to find her brother Luke and gain his help in restoring peace and justice to the galaxy.

Leia has sent her most daring pilot on a secret mission to Jakku, where an old ally has discovered a clue to Luke's whereabouts….


Poe Dameron lay back against the back of the interrogation chair, his head slumped to the side. After hours of being pricked by needles and abused by harsh punches and electric shocks, he was exhausted. Taking a deep breath through his mouth, he tried to gather his thoughts and reserve his energy. His mind wondered off to the village on Jakku; he would never forgive the First Order for what they did.

Those villagers never deserved what happened to them. Slaughtered by the Stormtroopers at the command of Caedus Ren; at least BB-8 was able to get away. His thoughts drifted off to his droid. Poe could only hope that BB was safe, Jakku wasn't exactly the most hospitable planet in the galaxy; and with a droid like BB-8 roaming around the scavengers wouldn't hesitate to tear him apart and sell the pieces. Trying to banish the negative prospects, Poe assured himself that BB would be able to take care of himself, and began recalling what Lor San Tekka said to him. If what Tekka said is true, and if he really was still alive, they just may have a much more better chance in saving the galaxy.

"I had no idea we had the best pilot in the resistance on board." spoke a deep voice.

Startled, Poe peeled his eyelids back, blinking a few times to get rid of the blur restricting his sight. When he could finally see clearly, he saw where the voice came from. Standing in front of him, near the door, was a tall figure wearing thick black robes, with a hood over his head, and a sleek black and silver mask with sharp, empty eye-holes that revealed red-rimmed gold eyes.

"Comfortable?" Caedus Ren teased.

The pilot answered back, "Not really"

The Sith chuckled darkly as he began to step closer towards Poe."I'm impressed" he said as he stopped in front of the pilot, "no one has been able to get out of you, what you did with the map"

Poe leaned forward, "You might want to rethink your technique"

"Oh, i assure you Dameron, i will get the truth out of you. I have plenty of ways to make you sing." The Sith's eyes held a dark joyfulness as they narrowed, and Poe could only imagine the twisted smirk that was hidden beneath the mask. "However, i am on a tight schedule," he said as he took a step back "and don't exactly have time to play around. Maybe i can convince General Hux to give you to me, after he's done extracting information from you, to demonstrate my interrogation techniques."

Caedus then lifted his hand in front of Poe's face. The pilot stared at the hand for a few seconds, wondering what the Sith was doing, before he felt a sharp, needle-like, pain at the back his head, making him wince. He found it difficult to breathe and began to gasp out as the pain steadily grew. Caedus made a small pushing motion with his outstretched hand, and at the same time Poe was forcefully pushed back against the interrogation chair, smacking his head on it. The force-user's eyes scrunched up in concentration as he probed further into Poe's mind.

"Where is it?" he hissed.

Poe grunted as he felt the throbbing became worse and worse. Breathing heavily, he tried to block Caedus from entering his mind, putting up an imaginary wall as a defence.

Opening his eyes, Poe glared at Ren, "The Resistance...will not be...intimidated by you." he gasped.

The Sith sneered at Poe and pulled him forward, patience wearing thin, Caedus pushed harder with the force. "Where is it?" he asked again.

The resistance pilot felt the probing break through his mind with explosive pain. It was getting harder to breathe by the second, and sweat dripped down from his forehead. Caedus Ren smiled in sick delight as Poe began to scream and pushed through his defences and into the pilots memories. Images of past events flashed-


Poe's had was outstretched as he sat in a small hut. The old man in front of him placed a small velvet bag in his palm, curling the pilots fingers around it.

Lor San Tekka gazed straight into the pilots eyes as he spoke, "This will begin to make things right."


Crouched underneath his X-wing, Poe dug out the small bag from his pocket, opening it and pulling out the small projector it held.

"You take this," he told an orange and white BB-unit. "It's safer with you, than it is with me" The droid opened up a compartment and let its owner place the item inside it.

"You get as far away as you can, do you hear me?"


Having what he needed, Caedus was about to pull out of the pilots mind before another memory caught his attention.


"One more thing," Lor San Tekka grabbed Poe's arm before he could get up. "Besides her brother, i believe there is someone else whom she would like by her side again."

Intrigued, Poe listened intently. "Who?" he asked.

"Her son"

Poe's eyes widened in shock. "Her son? Ben Solo? After all this time, he's still alive?"

Tekka nodded. "Yes, i saw him a few days ago, at Niima Outpost. He's working as a scavenger now. He's grown a lot and has changed much more, but his eyes are still the same. If you can get him back to his mother, the Resistance may have an even better chance at ending this."


Caedus walked out of the interrogation room with large strides, leaving Poe in an exhausted daze behind him. Waiting outside the door was General Hux, hands behind his back, neatly oiled ginger hair and a ruler-straight posture. He looked up as Ren approached him, "What did you find out?"

"It's in a droid. A BB-unit."

"Well then, if it's on Jakku, we'll soon have it. I'll prepare a squad immediately."

"I leave it to you."

Hux nodded, and was about to walk away before Ren called out: "One more thing, General." The ginger turned to face him.

"Inform the men that if they come across a scavenger, they are to take him alive."

Hux' eyebrow rose in confusion. "There are many scavengers on Jakku. Is there a particular one you are referring to?"

"One without a right arm" Ren answered, then walked down the ships corridor, leaving Hux standing perplexed.

But, neither knew about Poe eavesdropping on their conversation. Straining to hear through the door, Poe picked up a vital piece of information-

'Ben has one arm?'


Author's Note: This is my first Star Wars Fanfiction. So, apologies for any mistakes i make. I know that Darth Caedus is the Sith name for Jacen Solo in the comics. But, i'm crap at coming up with names. And, once again i don't own anything!

If you don't like this, don't read and don't hate. Keep the harsh words to yourself.
