VIII: Better Idea

TIE fighters lay waste to the once bustling with life, Rey was nowhere in sight and secretly I hoped she was safe. She did after all save my arse on Jakku. But what was left of us fought. More ships were coming and deploying more stormtroopers, that's when Kylo Ren's ship landed. My nerves got the best of me, I know damn well he could sense me if he dare just search the area for energies. But now was not the time to freeze, I cleared my thoughts and emotions. Firing on any soldier that came near me as they begun to flood the area.

"Come on, Chewie!" Han yelled out, racing to spot amongst the rubble.

Finn looked around desperately, "I need a weapon!" He shouted, what an idiot.

"You have one!" Maz yelled at him like he was an idiot, which he can be. Realization flooded his face, as he pressed the button. A blue glow shot out of it. It was truly beautiful. Turning my attention to incoming forces, I raced forward as Finn and I took down trooper after trooper. Watching one another's backs as well. However, I became locked into a hand to hand fight with a clone as he had knocked my weapon out of my hands.

I was backed up against a wall, his forearm against my throat. My vision was red with fury as he choked me. I gathered my strength, my eyes quickly scanning his mistakes.

"Prepare to die rebel scum!" He shouted from behind his helmet. I rolled my eyes, and he only pressed harder against my neck angered by my action. Swinging my left leg around, I swiftly left a blow with my knee into his unarmored side. His grip weakened, I roughly shoved him forward. Knocking us over, I skillfully rolled my body forwards. Grabbing a fallen mans blaster, he moved as quickly as he could to face me.

My gun facing him, "Don't count on it." and with that I shot him. Falling dead, I turned around to see Finn slashing a trooper to the ground. He stopped, taking a breath. I began to walk towards him.

To my right, behind Finn. A trooper had just slain a man, looking over to us. "Traitor!" My heart raced, until I noticed he was pointing solely at Finn.

The trooper flipped his large blaster into a weapon I had never seen before. Electrical currents ran through it. He walked closer to Finn, taking a menacing stance. As they began to battle, I thought Finn would surely win. He had a lightsaber! Versus whatever that was! As the saber and the weapon collided, they were pressed together. The baton not being broken. My eyes widended.

I want one of those.

As the two fought ferociously, I just stood there. Trying to get a clear shot, but they were all over the place. I moved quickly, jogging around them at a distance trying so desperately to find the angle. But they kept twisting and turning around one another. The trooper knocked Finn down, readying the final blow. Han and Chewbacca were racing to the rescue, but I got the shot first. The clone's arms still held above his head, as he fell just besides Finn. The men could see me, blaster raised.

Han just stared at me, until focusing his attention on Finn.

"You okay, Big Deal?" He asked, checking him over. He just nodded, Han looked over to me. "How bout you, killer?"

"Thought it'd be more of a challenge." I said smugly, blaster lowered and hand on my hip. But of course, I spoke too soon.

"Don't move- TK-388, we have the targets in custody." A trooper spoke into a communicator. Our weapons were ripped from us. Finn held onto the lightsaber defiantly, but it too was also confiscated. We had our arms above our heads, blasters pointed at us we began to walk. Now, my nerves really hit. Just because I have a mask now, doesn't mean they won't find out who I am. And how I was taking down storm troopers. I was screwed.

The regim stopped walking, "We have incoming at 28. 6." A trooper announced. In the distance you could hear the roar of engines, but they weren't the sound breaking noise of TIE fighters. The four of us stared in curiosity at what was coming our way this time. Blasts were coming at us, but none of them hit us. They were aimed at the First Order.

As soldiers around us were downed, we took the opportunity to seize the moment and grab our weapons back. I rushed to the fallen trooper that attacked Finn, grabbing what it was. I swung it around.

"Hell, yeah." I turned, swinging the weapon around at troopers. Taking them down, one by one. Dodging shots as much as I could. One however, did find my calf. Falling in pain, I forbade myself to scream as much as my leg burned. Two troopers, weapons raised made their way to me. Ready to take the final shot. I closed my eyes, but all I could hear were more powerful blasts.

I dared to open my eyes, the advancing threat now deceased. A black and orange x-wing flew above me. I watched in awh as the pilot flew around with ease, taking down TIE after TIE. Flipping around back to the battlefield. Destroying it's enemies.

"Quick!" Han Solo snapped me out of my thoughts. The pilot destroyed troopers near Finn.

"Whoo! Yeah! That's one hell of a pilot!" He cheered, throwing his fist in the air. We watched as troopers began to retreat to their ships. We cried out in victory, yelling and hollering. But that was cut quick, Kylo Ren had Rey in his arms. She had been knocked out, Finn started running towards his aircraft.

"No! No, no! No! No! Rey!" He continued running, I chased after him. Tackling him to the ground.

"Finn! Are you trying to get yourself killed!" I yelled at him, he watched the ship that held Rey fly off.

"Did you see that? He took her. She's gone." He said with sorrow.

"I know." Solo was behind us, his voice matched Finn's.

More rebel ships began to land. And I knew what was coming, more handcuffs. I sighed, and walked up to Chewbacca. He looked down at me, holding his crossbow.

"What're you looking at, fuzzball?" I muttered. He just groaned at me, firmly requesting I never call him that again in my life.

"Respectable, how about this. Because I know what's coming, just bring me over to the ship. Load me up, and knock me out for the flight? That sound good, buddy?" I asked, he thought about it. Making a noise, he has a better idea?

"Wait, what do you-" I couldn't finish my sentence before I was hit in the head by the butt of his bow.
