[RECAP]

"Don't worry Rey. I took care of them. You will never have to see them again" He said breaking the hug between us and kissing me on the cheek.

"Thank you"

[RECAP OVER]

"Wait for her you said! It would be fine you said" She yelled out angrily while getting out from her hiding spot in the trees. 

"Rose clearly if I knew that was going to happen I wouldn't have done it" Poe exhausted out. 

"That was to close" Finn said with a serious face that made both Poe and I quiet. 

"I just got contact from the general luckily the crew was able to escape and meet at the rendevue point" Poe said with a sigh of relief. "If Rey had not given us that early warning we would all be goners." He said in sorrow remembering how Rey had been taken. 

"We should not have stayed. I knew it would be dangerous and she warned us. Now she's in trouble" Rose said her voice laced with guilt. 

"No we had to stay. We had to at least try to save her. Sure we did not save her or do anything useful but now we can make up for it and go rescue her. We could not leave anyway they would have used the droids in the rebel base to shoot us down as soon as he we left the ground.The Falcon is destroyed but we are at a rebel base. There are bound to be ships" Finn said. He did not want to waste time feeling sorry for himself and instead used this time to strategise a plan. 

"The General is at the base fuelling the ship. We should be ready to leave when we arrive." Poe said lowering his communicating device. 

Rose felt so useless. There was nothing she could do to help. But she would keep trying. 

After a few minutes of walking they finally arrived at the base to see the new ship they were going in. It was bigger than the Falcon but not as fast. It would have to do. When the rebels had finally boarded the space craft Rose was finally allowed to have some time to think and process everything that has happened. Flashbacks of the fiery shot coming towards them and setting the Falcon on fire began to haunt her mind. Along with images of Rey, her evil smirk, hurting anyone who came across her path. Rose and the others were hiding after the explosion and watched as Rey lost control and killed everyone. It took everything in Rose not to run to Rey. Not to run and hold her in her arms and tell her that they were ok. But Kylo Ren was there the whole time. Watching her. They were lucky that she had killed the storm troopers because that meant that they did not have to run away from them later. They were also lucky that she had stunned Ben so that he was not alerted of our presence. Rose was pulled out of her thoughts when a hand clasped around her shoulders making her jump. 

"You scared me" Rose said after a sequel and looked up to find Finn. He was looking down lovingly at her. 

"I know what you are thinking" He said and sat down next to her. Holding her hand tightly.

"Rey is our best friend" He said with a gentle voice hoping to calm my mind. "What we saw was not her. It was the dark side" He said in a low voice. 

"How are we going to get her back Finn?" I asked in a shaky voice trying to hold back my tears. Now was not the time to cry. I told myself. I didn't deserve to cry. 

"Poe is already working with the last of the rebel allies. There is going to be a meeting soon to decide what happens." He said and brought me close in his arms. 

"What if they all vote against helping her?" Rose asked curling herself into a ball so that she could be completely engulfed in Finn's arms. She needed this, she needed him to hold her down and give her a few minutes to breathe. 

"I won't let that happen" 

A FEW MINUTES LATER IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM

"Thank you for joining us today commanders" Poe spoke out to the holograms before him. Each person a different species of alien all differing in appearance with the pin on their right shoulder representing the rebel logo being the only thing the few had in common. 

"Today I ask you to help us solve a dreadful problem as soon as possible in order to stop horrific repercussions" Poe said in a confident voice. His head held high, using the most fancy language he could think of. 

"Recently Kylo Ren has taken over as Supreme Leader and underneath him, General Hux" He stated informing the rebellion leaders of the recent events. 

"Our strongest ally Rey has been stolen and is on the star destroyer with Kylo Ren" He said earning surprised gasps from everyone. 

"Rey the supposed Jedi girl?" One of the hologram leaders asked. 

"Oh please that cannot be true the Jedi are all gone. The force is not real" Another leader argued back before Poe could answer. 

"Actual-" Poe said but was interrupted 

"Of course the force is real!" Another general shouted out. 

"The Jedi are gone!" Another hologram shouted. 

Soon the room was engulfed in chaos. Every hologram leader disagreeing and shouting at the other. Poe tried his hardest to speak over them but nothing was working. No one was listening. Poe looked towards Finn and I and had a desperate plead for help on his face. Finn looked down towards me confused as to how we could make this stop. Finally having enough I grabbed a blaster from nearby and shot the roof. Making a loud and frightening sound that grabbed the attention of everyone. Soon everyone was looking at me and I had just realised what I had done. 

"Oh ah sorry I uh just thought that I would uh.." I said mumbling and stuttering my words becoming nervous. 

"Rey saved the whole rebellion and used the force to lift rocks in order to help us escape." Finn said taking over for me. 

"That is ridiculous no one believes that" The general that seemed to only disregard ideas and statements rather than helping spoke out... again. 

"It's true and the whole rebellion that was there during the battle can support my argument" Finn said matter of factly. 

"It doesn't matter. We barely have enough of a resistance now. We are not going to waste the last of our remaining fleet on a suicide mission" A general spoke out earning a lot of hums around the room. Silently many of the Generals agreed with him. 

"And if Rey is turned to the dark side you will lose all of them for nothing. I do not like the idea of risking the loss of a large amount of our fleet but it is something we will have to risk. Rey is powerful, more powerful than Kylo Ren and an ally we need" Poe stressed out the importance of Rey. "If she is turned to the dark side than the enemy has both Rey and Kylo Ren and we will have nothing. We are struggling enough as it is to buy weapons, aid and support. The galaxy is losing hope and we need to restore it. We can't do it without Rey. She can use the force. She can save us all" Poe ended his speech with a desperate look hoping that the Generals had taken into account what he had said. 

There was a long moment of silence that caused the room to build a strong and nervous tension. 

"We have decided" The General at the head of the table stated after the room had gone silent. 

"We believe it is best to rescue the girl" 

The rooms silence was soon filled with happy cheers as the crew began to laugh and cry in happiness that the council had agreed. I looked around to see all the happy faces that were filled with joy at the thought of saving Rey. Of risking their lives to save Rey. I watched as people hugged each other and held hands coming together in happiness. The energy around the air craft was suddenly happy and joyful. The effect that Rey had on the rebellion. I looked towards the General and saw that he was thinking the same thing I was. Rey gave hope to the Rebellion. She had thought that she was alone. That no one cared for her. And I bet that if she was seeing this now... She wouldn't think that anymore.
