The unknown soldier.

New Mindset

Sorry bout this being so late! I have been working on its plot a little and have been working on some Marvel books as well as a possible second to this one! Just wait, we only have three more chapters to this one :( My first ever book and its coming to a close! So sad. Enjoy! 

Poe's pov

We made our way down the hall. It was eerily silent and I was pulled into another room. "Here, wear this," Phasma said, throwing a suit of armor at me. "The original owner was killed earlier but I didn't report him, for this exact reason. Your code is T7725. Colonial." I nodded and put on the uniform. The helmet was hard to see out of but I didn't care. we were there to save Nat. 

I followed behind Phasma, keeping close enough to hear her but far enough for it not to be suspicious. The armor was uncomfortable and extremely hot. Sweat already covered my entire hairline and my upper lip. "What are we doing?" I hissed at the hunk of metal in front of me. "We are going to her room. If she doesn't address you like yourself, and instead of the presumed enemy, then we know she has already been turned, and I am to get you off this ship." That's when a thought hit me. Did Finn get off the ship? What happened to him. 

"We can't leave without my friend, Finn." She stopped and turned to me. "FN2187 is in my private care facility. I  have been tending to him myself. He is very much awake and we will actually be meeting up with him. He has been informed of the plan." As she ended her sentence another stormtrooper, dressed like me, came out of a room and walked in line next to me. "Yup that's him," Phasma said, addressing both of us. 

"Dude I'm so sorry man. I didn't want to punch you that hard but it would have gotten you out alive." My words came out in jumbles but Finn placed his hand on my shoulder. "But what happened to you?" 

"Kylo Ren did." Finn's footsteps faltered but he quickly followed back in line. "What do you mean?" I sighed, not wanting to go through it again. "Long story short, he tried to get into my head forcefully and when that didn't work...he found Nat who came to rescue us and Hux tortured her in front of me, trying to get the information of the Secret resistance base...Now he has her and could turn her against us." 

"We are here." Phasma interrupted our conversation as we stopped in front of a long hallway. I hadn't noticed, but now the tile was black, and it felt quieter than usual. In front of us stood a long hallway that was completely dark with a red glow. A single door was at the end, and darkness radiated from it and into my skin. We hastily made our way down, each footstep softer and slower than the last. Phasma hesitated to knock. 

There was a soft come-in from the other side of the door. Phasma entered by herself and we stood guard. "Tell me about Poe Dameron." Phasmas muffled voice came from the other side. "I figured Kylo Ren would have told you about him already. But I guess you haven't been briefed. He is a Resistance Pilot, grew up on Yavin-4, escaped our hold many times. He is a talented pilot, probably the best they have. He is currently in our custody and is being interrogated by Kylo Ren." 

Phasma left shortly after that conversation ended. Once the door closed she shook her head and we made our way to her quarters. "We are getting you out of here. We just need to wait till shift swap and then you will be able to go. But once you are on your way, you will be on our own, and if I catch you, I have to turn you in." We nodded. 

Soon the time came and we were in our original clothes, and before we knew it, the two of us were sprinting down the hallways, blasting any stormtrooper that came on our path. The launch bay was right ahead of us. Sweat poured down my front and back, my rings and clay necklace bounced on my chest and I just wanted to get out of there. But still, Nat held me back. Would I ever see her again? The thought pulled me to a halt as I entered the landing bay.
