"Yes she most definitely will. We have the whole fleet armed and ready to attack. They have no idea." He confirmed.

"Good now we wait"

"Thank you" I said to him and walked away to finish getting ready.

"We leave soon. Get your weapons ready. These bandits are savages"

[RECAP OVER]


REY POV

As the door to the ship lowered a large amount of dust quickly rushed in and floated in the empty air. It took away the eery silence that happened before battle. I was huddled in a small area with many troops in front of the large ship doors. I turned to my side to see Ben. He looked into my eyes and nodded at me. Encouraging me. He than turned to the commander next to him and did a short nod. I did not know what it meant but I didn't think anything of it. How stupid of me. 

"Here we go" Ben said loudly for everyone to hear him. There was three rows of troopers in front of us and a few more rows behind us. we were situated right in the middle. It was as much as the ship would carry. But it was one of many.

I raised my lightsaber that Ben had made for me. Luke's had broken so now I had a red one. As soon as the doors lowered completely the storm troopers rushed out of the ship. I ran with them and began to attack the enemy. As I fought I kept my eye on Ben. I had to make sure he didn't get hurt. I watched as he kept his eyes on me too, hoping and willing me to stay safe. There was another look in his eye that was hidden underneath his strong protective gaze that I couldn't quite understand. The bandits were ready with many weapons and there was a lot of them. When we had killed a majority of them and finally had hope that the battle would soon be over, that we had gained power over them, a large ship flew over us and started shooting at the First Order. 

"TAKE COVER!" I yelled out.

I ran to the closest cover I could find. The shots were strong and fast and I watched as many of the troops go down. Dust had risen into the air and I could barely see a thing. I could no longer see Ben. I crouched down and kept my back straight and up against the cover. I looked up to the fighter that had shot at us and saw the rebellion sign that I once followed until they had turned evil. All my old friends. They probably had no idea the secret hidden agenda of the rebellion. But I knew better. I raised my head over the cover and saw an army of rebellion soldiers. I turned back to see them countered with the same amount of first order troops that began to dispatch out of descending First Order ships. I was frozen. This was supposed to be a small job. Why was there so much troops? Why was there so much rebels?. Although I should have been focused on the battle I turned to see all the civilians. Stuck in between. 

The battlefield was a small town in a large market place with a lot of open space. I saw the worried face of mothers looking out of windows. I saw tear stained cheeks that covered every child's face as they ran away from the battle. I saw the fear in all of their eyes.  This place was dirt and sand and did not look like much but to many people this place was a home. A safe place.

"No! We have to get the civilians out first. We need to clear the area they could be hurt!" I yelled out to the closest commander who carried a large canon behind him that could do large damage to the enemy but also destroy the houses of the civilians and kill many of them, he swiftly waved me off, paying no attention. 

I ran towards him and stood in front of him forcing him to pay attention temporarily halting him and the troops who carried the canon behind him. All around us there were shots and cries and the battle had began. It was dangerous for me to turn my back on the enemy but I had to get his attention. 

"Millions of innocent people could die!" I screamed in his face. 

He walked around me and once again ignored me. I realised that only one person could help them. I looked around frantically. Searching for his long dark hair. Finally my eyes landed on his. I sprinted towards him defeating oncoming bandits and rebels. His eyes were filled with surprise and confusion. I finally made it to him and we stood back to back with our lightsabers guarding us and a deadly look in our eye. 

"Why did you do that? That was dangerous." He said scolding me. Even though I couldn't see his face I knew that it was angry. 

There was no time to explain. I had to tell him. 

"Ben there are innocent civilians in the middle of the battle field. We have to evacuate them safely before they use the canons" I yelled out over my shoulder as I fought a rebel. Trying to concentrate on my words as I dodged his oncoming blows. 

"Evacuate! No Rey there is too much of them we have to use all our troops to fight" He said in a flat and calm voice carefully not exhilarating his energy. 

After I had knocked out  y enemy I turned to look at him. 

"There are women and children, families in the middle of this" I said as I motioned towards the fight. "They could be hurt or worse. Killed. All because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time" I said emphasising the fact that they were all innocent. 

"They have done nothing wrong. And they are being hurt and killed by your troops. By the battle that you had started. Are you going to take responsibility for their deaths?" I asked him. My eyes burned with passion and I knew that my passion was strong and prominent in my voice. My chest rose and fell rapidly and my heart began to beat faster as I began to become angry.

He rolled his eyes and brought his face closer to mine. 

"Collateral damage" 

Those two words. Those two words had made me freeze. I had loved him. I knew that he had bad qualities. But I loved all of them. I thought that he cared for the innocent. That he had changed like he had said. 

"You promised that no one else would get hurt" I said warning him about the promise that he was about to break. 

"You can tell your commanders not to use the canons!" I yelled out to him as I fought and killed off my enemy and turning back to him with a deadly and warning look.

"If we don't use them the rebellion will. We might as well use them first" He said as a matter of fact.

"They are collateral damage Rey there is nothing I can do. There are not enough troops to help them. I am not going to waste my men and the chance to strike first on useless people with bad luck" He said and quickly turned around to strike an oncoming enemy. His strike was a single blow. Ruthless and uncontrolled. He was becoming angry. 

"Bad luck?" I asked him covering my emotions with a  short laugh. I could feel my heart breaking. "You are going to blame the deaths of these innocent people on bad luck" My voice stayed levelled and low as I tried my hardest to hold back tears. I took a deep breath and lifted my head. I pushed back all the emotions that were threatening to break me. 

"I am going to save these people. Whether or not you will help is up to you" I said with finality. I turned around and looked towards a mother holding her lovers hand tightly while hiding. As she cried he held his arms around her. His eyes filled with helplessness. 

"Yeah you waste your time and do that" He said in a bored tone. Clearly not believing that I could do it. 

"But whether or not I come back is up to me." I said as I ran off in another direction devising a plan to help the civilians. I no longer cared about the battle. Who won or who lost. For now I had to save as much people as I could. And figure out what I am going to do after...
