"I have come on behave of General Organa."

Poe had come. He was stood surrounded by Stormtroopers in front of General Hux.

Leia had sent him.

Rey ran into the crowd with Kylo Ren close behind her. She stopped, Rey recognised the pitot, he was the one BB-8 and Finn were looking for.

"Poe Dameron" she whispered.

Poe caught her eye and knew who she was immediately.

"The General brings a message."

Kylo was in the clearing now, mask over his head.

"She wishes a trade. The girl Rey for a piece of information." Poe finished.

"What kind of information?" asked Hux.

"Rey for the map to Luke Skywalker" announced Poe.

Mumbles and whispers broke out. Rey had wide eyes and an open mouth. She would never be worth something so valuable, that was the Resistance' last hope.

Under his mask Ren didn't know what to feel. He knew he desired that map more than anything in the world, it held revenge, so much revenge. But another part of him hated this proposal of a deal, he realise that he wanted Rey to stay, though he didn't know why.

"Or how about" started Hux, after he had taken in this most startling knowledge. "We keep the girl, and you surrender the map towards Luke Skywalker to the First order and we will not desolate your Rebel Base until tomorrow."

"Shoot him." Ordered Hux.

"No!" shouted Rey.

Triggers were about to be pulled when another ship shot down from the sky and landed next to the x-wing. It was the Millennium Falcon. Finn and BB-8 ran out while Chewbacca sat in the driver's seat.

The gigantic gust of air from the Falcon caused Stormtroopers to be lifted off their feet and blown away, rocks and debris flew in the air and there was panic. Hux and other commanders took shelter just inside the building.

Finn, Poe, and BB-8 stood near the Falcon where the wind was not as strong. Rey ran towards them.

"Rey!" shouted Finn.

"Finn" screamed Rey, as she was lifted off her feet.

Kylo threw down his mask so that he would not be forced away into the air as well. He ran towards Rey, cloak billowing in the air and caught her by her waist as brough her back down to earth.

Finn and Poe watched as Kylo stayed low and on the ground, defeating the gust of air from lifting him up too. Ren kept a firm hand on Rey so that she would not fly away as well.

Kylo sheltered Rey as he took slow and steady steps toward the Falcon.

Rey ran and threw her arms around Finn.

"Are you all right?" asked Finn.

"I'm fine" said Rey.

Poe drew his gun on Kylo Ren, Finn did the same.

"Stop!" said Rey. "What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?" said Poe. "He captured you, he's tortured you."

"He hasn't tortured me" said Rey.

"I'm going to cut your throat, wait! He hasn't!" threatened Finn.

"No! Of course, he hasn't!" said Rey.

"He's a murderer! Of course, he would do that!" shouted Finn.
