Mary and Rey ran down a hall, and found themselves in a vast atrium, with a railing-free drop off. At the end of this walkway was an open hangar door, revealing a Tie Fighters parked outside. But the problem was that between them and the ship they wanted to steal, was a group of Stormtroopers Guards, in conversation. As Rey tried to think about what to do next, Mary saw, far behind them in the perpendicular hall, another group of Stormtroopers headed their way.
Mary grabbed Rey by the arm and ran fast across the walkway. They climbed down the wall, disappearing over the edge just as the Troopers approached and continued. They held on carefully as the guards walked off, not seeing them over the edge. Then they saw something and had a brainstorm. They strenuously crossed-climbed to an invisible service hatch, which opened, and climbed inside the wall, closing the hatch behind them.
Finn, Han and Chewie took cover, Chewie pulling some explosive out of the duffel. "We'll use the charges to blow that blast door. I'll go in and draw fire, but I'm gonna need cover." Finn said. "You sure you're up for this?" Han asked. "Hell no, I'll go in find and try to find Rey... The Troopers will be on our tail. We have to be ready for that. There's an access tunnel that'll leads..." Han started pointing with his chin to something behind. "Why are you doing that? Why are you doing this? I'm trying to come up with a plan." Finn turned and saw Rey and Mary, climbing out from inside the wall, carefully climbing back up to the main level. He couldn't believe it. Chewie murmured his relief. Han was maybe more grateful than anyone.
Rey and Mary climbed up to the corridor, vigilant. They heard a sound, Mary prepared to ignited her saber, Rey swooped her rifle at... Finn, Han and Chewie. "Han! Chewie!" said Mary as she hugged her old friends that she hadn't seen in a long time. "Mary... are you all right?" asked Han. "Yeah." Mary replied. "Good." "What happened, did he hurt you?" asked Finn to Rey. "Finn. What are you doing here?!" Rey replied. "We came back for you." Finn added. She was speechless - this was all she never wanted anyone to do. Chewie talked as Rey's eyes nearly teared up. "What'd he say?" Finn asked. "... That it was your idea." Rey replied. Finn awkwardly smiled. It was his nature. They embraced. "Thank you." "How did you get away?" "I can't explain it. And you wouldn't believe it." "Escape now. Hug later." Han added.
☾☼
The X-Wings roared across the sky, blasting and dodging the Tie Fighters and missiles. Han, Finn, Rey, Mary and Chewie, who ran out here, into the snow, stopping, eyes on the sky, watching the lop-sided battle. They turned to each other, resolve in their eyes. A long moment of communication. "They're in trouble. We can't leave. My friend here has a bag full of explosives. Let's use 'em." Han stated. Han, Mary and Chewie arrived to the oscillator structure and found three Stormtroopers approaching a Maintenance Hatch. Instantly, Chewie took out the middle one with his Bowcaster. Han and the other two Stormtroopers opened fire, but Han's aim was true. Alarms started blaring.
