CHAPTER EIGHT

After reaching Saw's large rock-base, Octavia was shoved into a prison cell. Her cell-mate was a guy who didn't talk much. Cassian, Chirrut and Baze were in the cell next to hers, divided by a small barred window.

Octavia walked to the large door of her cell and stared out at the life that went on around them. There were creatures playing a game that she had never seen, nor heard of. "Who is the one in the next cell?" Chirrut asked, catching Octavia's attention.

"That is Octavia." Cassian muttered, leaning on the cell door with his eyes closed.

"No, the other one. Who is he?" Chirrut said. Octavia moved back from the window and allowed Baze to get a good look at the guy.

Baze looked at him for a few seconds before saying, "he's an imperial pilot!" Baze went and wrapped his hand around the poor guy's neck.

"Baze!" Octavia and Cassian both said at the same time. Octavia grabbed Baze's wrist and tried to shove him off. The poor pilot just sat there, not phased by anything that was going on.

Soon enough, Baze let go and Cassian took his place at the window. "You're the imperial pilot." Cassian said. The poor guy didn't even look up at him or Octavia.

"What's wrong with him?" Chirrut asked. Cassian shot him a glance with a 'shush.'

Cassian turned to face the pilot and leaned as close as he could to him through the bars. "Galen Erso." Cassian spoke. Octavia furrowed her eyebrows before looking up at him. He sent a small wink her way. "You know that name?" He asked, returning his gaze back to the pilot.

It was as if Cassian had said the magic word. The pilot blinked his eyes a few times as his entire demeanor changed completely. "Galen Erso. . . I'm the pilot. I'm the pilot who brought the message. I'm the pilot who brought the message from Galen Erso!" He yelled out.

A small smile came onto Octavia's face as her and Cassian shared a look. This pilot would definitely be a step in the right direction to stopping the empire.

A few minutes later, all of them were sitting around their cells. Most of them were close to zoning out from boredom; Octavia being one of them.

Octavia sat with her back to the rocky surface, Cassian the same on the other side of the wall. "How are we gonna get out of here?" She asked in a slightly loud tone.

"Try to break open the door and grab the guns that are right outside." Baze called out. Octavia shifted her gaze to the outside of her's and Bodhi's cell. The guns were, in fact, right in front of her door. They were all piled up, obviously just thrown there.

"Alright. When do we get this plan into action?" Octavia asked, standing from her sitting position. Though she quickly fell back down when a large ripple ran through the building. "The building is falling down." She thought to herself.

"Now!" Cassian screamed over the screams and crumpling rock.

Octavia sprang into action. She jumped at the door just as Cassian threw his own open. He ran over to the guns and threw Baze his blaster. "Get them out of there." Cassian stated as Bodhi joined Octavia at the door.

Baze aimed his gun at the door, causing both Octavia and Bodhi to coil backwards. Baze fired his blaster and the door flung upwards. Octavia smiled before running over to the stack of weapons. She loaded her weapons in their holsters and took off towards Cassian.

"I'll go find Jyn." He said. "K2 will be waiting outside. Get them out of here."

Octavia nodded her head before leaning in and kissing his cheek. "Let's go, everyone!" She yelled at the other men around her.

Tumbling rocks flew past the four of them as they ran towards the exit. People flailing their arms had moved past, finding someone or just being plain stupid.

As they made it to the exit, Chirrut and Baze took the front. Octavia slowed down her pace, trying to get Bodhi to run a little faster. "It's just outside." She called out. The four of them pushed as hard as they could and sprinted outside.

The scene they saw was just devastating. The whole planet seemed to have been blowing up. Octavia intook a sharp breath and sprinted as fast as she could towards the ship.

"K2, come on." She muttered, not even caring that Bodhi was far behind her.

Though a small ship came barreling around the bend. "That's it!" She yelled out to Chirrut and Baze. They threw a small thumbs up at her before taking off even faster than before.

Octavia reached the ship shortly after the two in front of her did. Cassian and Jyn came sprinting towards the ship and she hoisted them up into it. Bodhi came in right after and K2 immediately shut the door.

"Get us out of here K2!" Cassian yelled as he jumped into the pilot's seat.

Octavia threw herself onto one of the chairs, sighing loudly. She glanced over at Jyn. "Are you okay?" Octavia asked.

Jyn looked up at her and smiled. "Yeah. Thank you."

"No problem." Octavia muttered before turning to look out the door.

The entire planet was collapsing around them. Gigantic pieces of rocks were flying all around the tiny ship.

"We have a 33% chance of making it out alive."

"I do not care!" Cassian yelled. Octavia sighed before leaning back into her seat. She bounced her leg up and down, repeatedly. Octavia was so anxious just sitting there, but there was nothing she could do.

"I have not finished making my calculations yet!" Octavia heard K2 say. She looked up to see a small hole in the falling rocks.

"I'll make them for you." Cassian said as he threw them into hyper space.
