AWAKEN

89

TWO SHIPS landed outside the base that the Poe's squadrons had identified as The Brotherhood's hideout. Stepping out of both ships were; Finn, Chewie, Ben, Rey, Poe, Ahsoka, and Orson.

Finn looks around, "Of course another sandy planet." Finn mutters.

Poe glanced at them, "Come on," He says pulling out his blaster, "Let's go."

The party of seven quietly but quickly hurried over to the base building. They took cover so they wouldn't be spotted by anyone scouting.

But they didn't see any scouts.

They actually don't see anyone trying their best to guard the base. And for one that was odd. This was an important base and to leave it without scouts was a reckless move, unless the scouts were unable to do their jobs.

"Something isn't right," Rey mutters and glanced at Ben, "Do you sense that?"

Ben nods.

Poe glanced at the two, "What?" He asks.

Ben walked over to the panel, he ignited his saber and then stabbed it through it. The panel sparked out and then the circuits went crazy, causing the door to open. As Poe, Orson, and Chewie expected some sort of battle, they were met with the opposite.

Poe peaked his head around the corner and saw the bodies of unconscious Force users laying around the hangar.

"Amara has been through here," Ahsoka says.

Poe was actually stunned, "She did this?"

Ben nods, "It appears she was not wrong about her strength." He says.

Rey frowns, "And if this is what she's capable without death," Her eyes drift to Ben, "What is she capable of fully?"

"I don't know," Ben says.

Finn looks at the Dyads, "Either way, we need to hurry up." He says, "If you guys are sensing what I'm sensing it seems Amara is a little ahead of us."

Poe and Finn take the head of the party, with Ben and Rey behind, Ahsoka closely following, and Chewie with Orson.

Poe had instructed Chewbacca with the orders of protecting Orson at all cost, seeing as the young boy refused to stay put in the Falcon.

They ran through the hangar which was littered with unconscious Force users and ships of a variety models. They ran until the Force users pointed out the hallway to Poe to head down.

Orson, who gripped his blaster, was so worried.

'Be okay, mom.' Orson thought.

{THE FINAL MISSION}

AMARA HELD a deadly glare at Karawn, who now held onto his own saber, but has yet to ignite it like Amara has. He doesn't seem to be wanting to fight, much like he said when he made his presence known.

Amara then sensed something.

Her eyes widen and her gaze turned behind her.

No.

Her friends. Orson. Poe. They were here.

Karawn grins at that. He must've sensed them as well, because of course he did. He was strong in the Force as well.

"It appears your friends are here," Karawn grins, "But you didn't invite them, did you? You wanted to handle me yourself."

Amara's gaze moves back to him.

She gritted in response to his words.

She had a feeling that the others would come after her, of course they would. It didn't matter if she locked them up, somehow, someway, they'd find there way here.
