That Was Me

Ben vs Yerha

This chapter is dedicated to our main villains, without them I wouldn't be able to create chaos for you guys 😅 Reylo_is_My_Halo (Captain Halo) and thelastsithIam (Darth Yerha)

Poe's POV
I swing around Ben blasting another Tie.

"Come on Ben, you're slowing down." I chuckle.

"Yeah, yeah. Quit stealing my prey and I might surpass you."

"Black Leader come in." Alexa sounds over my commlink.

"Copy, what's up?" I say.

"We secured the base again."

"I'm sensing a but."

Alexa sighs. "We lost some troopers."

"How many?" I sigh, but remain grateful Finn wasn't there.

Ben's POV
I hear Poe turn off his mic when Alexa comes on over his commlink.

I feel an emptiness begin to grow inside me. I begin to worry about Rey, but I don't sense her in trouble.

The ties have thinned out and there's not much left to destroy.

I keep up my evasive maneuvers trying to ignore the emptiness, until suddenly I feel a burning sensation in my upper arm and my stomach begins to horribly ache.

I place a hand to my stomach when it suddenly hits me.

This isn't my pain.

Rey...

"Black Leader." I try to get Poe's attention. "We need to go back."

"Agreed. All pilots remain on target and defend the fleet. Let's go Ben."

We head directly for the hangar, speeding for a haste landing.

I pull ahead of Poe and enter the hangar.

I sense Rey on the other side of the Falcon and quickly exit.

I reach for my lightsaber at my side and run for her.

"I'd like to see you try."

I round the corner to find Yerha standing over Rey and Apollo.

"Get away from them!" I yell and ignite my saber.

Yerha smirks, igniting hers. "Hopefully you'll be more of a challenge."

I glance at Rey and know what I have to do.

I charge and we quickly get into a matching set of blocks and attacks, until she kicks me.

(Yes I realize these aren't the right characters, this is just the gist of what's happening)
