Change My Mind

Chapter 6

We began to walk up the hill towards Ochi's ship.

"We cannot possibly fly in that old wreck," C-3PO said.

"We gotta keep moving. Find someone who can translate that dagger," Poe said. "Like a helpful droid."

"I suggest we return to the Millennium Falcon at once."

"They'll be waiting for us at the Falcon."

"Yeah, they'll throw us in the Pits of Griq."

"Yeah. And use you as a target droid," Poe said as I got this feeling. Rey did as well as we were both looking out at the distance.

"You both make excellent points, at times." Rey then turned to me.

"You feel it too, right?" she asked. I looked at her and nodded.

"I should go. Tell the boys that I'll be right behind," I said, attempting to walk away.

"No." Rey grabbed my arm and I turned to her. "Let me go. If I die, you'll be here to save everyone... Plus, Poe will be pretty angry if you just disappear..." I tilted my head before grabbing her other arm and attempting to take her down. Yet, Rey took the high ground and flipped me onto my stomach, pinning me to the ground with my hands behind my back.

"What is going on?!" Poe asked as I burst out in laughter.

"You beat me." Rey then got up and helped me up before handing me her staff.

"I'll be right back," she said before walking the opposite direction. I then turned to the boys and smiled.

"She'll be right behind us. Let's check it out." We made it to the top before opening the hatch and walking in.

"All right. Let's see what we got," Poe said before switching on the lights.

"Let's get those convertors fired up," I said, walking over to the pilots quarter, Poe following behind me. I flipped a bunch of switches and grinned when the ship powered up. "Look at that."

"Where is she?" Finn asked to himself. "Chewie. Go tell Rey that we have to go." He groaned in response before running outside as I struggled to open a hatch. Poe ran over and helped me open in and I kissed his cheek as a thank you before continuing what I was doing. Poe started the ship and I sat in the other pilots chair when I paused, the weird feeling developing in me.

"What is it?" Poe asked, noticing my sudden change. Ben... he was here. I peered out the window to see Rey standing there. "What is she doing... Where the hell is Chewie?" I looked at Poe.

"It's Ben..." I then stood up and ran out of the ship. I hid behind a rock and noticed a bunch of Knights of Ren with Stormtroopers. Chewie had been captured by them and they were searching through his stuff. I watched as a Stormtrooper pulled out the dagger and held it up. They then forced Chewie onto the ship as Rey destroyed Ben's ship in the background. Finn, who was watching behind, ran out causing me to stand out.

"Rey! Rey! They got Chewie!" he exclaimed. Rey looked at him as I ran back to the ship. I ran past Poe and he followed me as we looked out the window. We watched as Rey stuck out her hand, using the force to slowly pull back the ship. I then noticed Ben walking out of his ship. He outstretched his hand as well, pulling on the ship from the other side. They fought from both sides as I shook my head. Suddenly, a bunch lightning appeared from Rey's hands and towards the ship, causing it to explode to the point of no survivors. Ben stepped back as Rey gasped, realizing what she'd done.

"Chewie!" I then noticed a bunch of TIE Fighters approaching and looked at Poe. He then ran out of the ship.

"Rey! We gotta go! They're coming!" he exclaimed as I started the ship, sitting in one of the pilot seats.
