Poe's POV
I left Nat's room early, but not before leaving a note covering the clock because the first thing she does in the morning was roll over and see the time, so this way she was sure to get the note.
Hey sleepyhead. I have been called by the General to the control room. Meet me by my ship at 10.
-Poe ;-)
I snuck back to my room and changed into my bright orange flight suit. Grabbing some toast and coffee I met up with Beaumont and Snaps. "Ready Boss?" Snaps asked. I nodded, confident that this was going to go well. It was around 9:45 when I got back to the ship I was piloting. It was a piece of junk, to say the least, nothing like black one but we had to be discrete in case ' of an ambush. Soft footsteps approached and a smile crossed my face.
"Hey there Nat."I pulled her into a hug before getting somewhat serious. "I promise you, I will be back before you can say Kriffing Sky." I turned and walked to my ship. "Kriffing Sky." She shouted at me with a smile. I twirled so fast I lost my balance and awkwardly leaned onto the ship. "I'm back!" I laughed loudly raising my arms. "Now don't worry-"
"I'm not worried." She rolled her eyes. God, I loved her smile. Her teeth shone in the light, warming my entire body. The way her eyes lit up when she was happy or talking about something she loved was contagious. I had to come back to her. "Seriously," I said, starting up the engine and popping on my helmet. "There is nothing to panic about!" I shouted, giving Beaumont and Snap a thumbs up.

"Alright, it's time to panic!" I shouted over the comms, as TIES rushed after us. "You think Poe, you think?" Snap shouted back. we had gotten our needed information about the new Death-Star called Starkiller Base. It was at least five times the size of the Death-Star, making it a huge threat. Just as we had left TIEs were onto us. Not only did our insider tell us about the new base, but another threat. A spy, a dangerous one, looking to take out Me, Finn, Rey, the General, and Natalie.
"Who the hell designed these things?" Beaumont complained, narrowly dodging blasts. "I don't know, why?" I shouted back. "They don't have guns!" Snap and Beaumont shouted. Taking a quick look down, I saw that they in fact, didn't. "oh. Well, we are screwed-SH!T!" Lurching forward I was hit on my back tail. My head whacked the front panel, leaving a gash dripping blood into my now, blurry vision. Things were double and swirling.
"We got you Black Leader." Hera's voice shouted over the comms. "When were you guys out here!" Snap asked. "We were going for a test flight, you are almost in the atmosphere of Crait. We have this fight from here, and be careful! Your back right engine is about to blow!" She was right, it blew alright. Causing me to fly out of control. BB-8 beeped angrily in response. "Happy beeps buddy," I said under my breath. BB8 got angrier. "I said happy beeps damn it!" I cursed, nothing but yet everything was right in front of me.
My vision swam, and I couldn't focus on the fight behind me. I had to land, and fast. Lowering power in my left engine so I could fly somewhat straight, I entered the atmosphere but not long before a voice came over the comms. It was scratched and morphed, I couldn't tell who it was. "So you think you can outrun us, just wait Poe Dameron, just wait for your landing. Now, remember, buckle up, and please keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times, and hope you don't die." The voice cut out and my control panel went blank but the ship was still moving on its own, the steering gauge moved by itself.
"What the hell-" I didn't have time to think before crashing into the landing strip and something pinning my shoulder and leg.
Natalie's POV
The ship crashed, leaving the pilot trapped inside. Looking around I saw Beaumont and Snap run over with medics. That could only mean one thing. "Poe!" Crying, I rushed over to the ship. "Ah!" He cried. The vessel started to catch fire. "We have to get him out!" Beaumont shouted. Finn shoved his way into the ship and started to pry Poe from the metal. They got him onto a stretcher as blood already stained the sheets. I followed them to the medical Wing and sat inside next to Finn as they wheeled Poe past. He was in hysterics. The General followed them. "No NO!" He shouted.
