Chapter 1: Evacuation
F
inn's vision was blurry as he lay in the gurney.
Poe was over him saying something, but Finn couldn't hear him.
Despite his blurry vision, Finn could see he was back on D'Qar as hundreds of Resistance members scrambled for various transports, loading as much as they could into the transports.
Finn was loaded into a transport as well, finally loosing consciousness as he went inside.
"Go!" Poe shouted as the shuttle closed its doors and took off.
"Come on people the First Order is on its way, we need to be long gone before they-" Poe started before seeing something from the ground.
His expression became more tired as he saw a large ship exit hyperspace.
"General Organa, we've got a problem." He said.
In orbit, was a fleet of ships. Five new mediator class mon calamari cruisers, six Nebulan-c frigates, four Kessex class corvettes, two large cargo ships and three Billok cruisers. Leading the Resistance fleet was a much larger super cruiser, over three kilometers long with a mon calamari design.
Onboard the bridge of this ship was Leia Organa looking out the view screen with Admiral Ackbar beside her.
They saw the first Resurgent class Star Destroyer exit hyperspace.
It was soon followed by two others , the First Order fleet slowly moved closer to the Resistance fleet as Leia and Ackbar watched.
"I'll prepare the fleet for battle." Ackbar said.
"No, even if we win, we'll lose more than we can afford. We need to leave." Ackbar sighed.
"You're right." He said.
Onboard the lead First Order ship stood a man in an admiral's uniform.
"Sir, the enemy appears to still be evacuating." One of the deck ensigns said.
The admiral was in his late forties with a shaved head, fair skin, green eyes, and an average body.
"Moving fleet into position." The ship's captain said.
"No." The admiral said.
"Rear admiral Talix?" The captain said.
The captain was a younger man in his mid thirties with well combed blonde hair and blue eyes. He was smaller than the admiral in physical size as well.
The admiral smiled.
"I believe it's time to test the First Order's new weapon captain Yultz. Captain Canady move in." Admiral Talix said as as a fourth cruiser exited hyperspace.
Leia and Ackbar saw the ship, it was slightly larger than the Resurgent class star destroyers. It was grey, triangular shaped and flat with two massive guns on the bottom and a long lowercase l shaped bridge section facing parallel with the end of the ship.
"This is captain Canady reporting in."
"Captain move in with the Fulminatrix and destroy the Resistance base with our new weapon, then hit their fleet."
"Yes sir."
Captain Yultz gave a concerned look as he approached Admiral Talix.
"Sir, with all due respect, shouldn't we be engaging them with all of our forces?"
"Captain, there is no need. The new Mandator IV- dreadnaught will change the face of naval warfare. It is more than capable of getting the job done."
"But sir, this is the entire Resistance, we should press the attack while we still can."
"Captain you lack foresight, if we attack with all of our ships we won't be able to see the true potential of our new class of ships."
"But sir."
"No, the Fulminatrix will prove itself here."
Ackbar looked at a readout of the Fulminatrix onboard the Resistance ship.
"General, the schematics of that ship are in from the data we recovered from Starkiller base, it's a fleet killer."
"Everyone off the planet side now!" Leia shouted.
Back on the base Poe ran to his ship before he saw an officer leading some personnel back inside.
"Wallic, where are you going!?" Poe shouted.
The woman turned around.
"Some idiot forgot to load those old battle droids we received. We can't leave them." she said before running inside.
BB-8 beeped as Poe took off.
"This is captain Poe Dameron to Saber squadron, fall in." Poe said as he saw over a dozen X-wings and A-wings fly in behind him.
"General Organa, we still have to get those droids out of the base." Poe said.
"No, I ordered everyone out." Leia said.
"Lieutenant Wallic and a squad are recovering them as we speak."
"No , they need to-"
Moments later two massive red blasts flew from the lower guns of the Fulminatrix. Poe's eyes widening as he saw them fly down through the atmosphere, Lieutenant Wallic and her men hauling the droid containers before everything around them turned red, they looked up for a moment before Poe saw an entire area of the planet erupt in fire.
BB-8 let out a low chirp.
Poe tightened his grip.
"Saber squadron on me, we're taking that thing down!" Poe shouted.
Poe heard a roar as another more customized X-wing flew beside him.
Poe saw the wookie pilot Chewbacca inside the cockpit of the yellow X-wing. The ship's cockpit being made larger for Chewie to fit.
"We're with you captain." Another pilot said as the fighters flew behind him.
"Captain Dameron what are you doing, cover the fleet so we can evacuate." Ackbar said.
"Sir it's like you said, that ship is a fleet killer, we need to take it down while we have the chance. What is the weak spot?"
A naval officer onboard the Resistance Flagship looked at the schematics of the Fulminatrix .
"It appears there's a power regulator under a section on the main hull near the bridge, if it were destroyed, the ship's weapons would overload, making it vulnerable." The man said before he saw Leia stare him down.
"Alright let's bring in the heavy bombers and then hit it with the cruisers." Poe said.
"No, captain return to the fleet immediately, that's a direct or-" Poe disabled communications with the flagship.
Behind the X-wings were over a dozen large bombers nearly the size of corvette class ships. They were grey and blue looking almost like capitals T's from the front but with a more cylindrical center that extended back into a tail. They had guns on the bottom fin and the front.
"Cobalt Squadron reporting in captain Dameron." Captain Tonder said.
"Alright let's clear a path for the bombers." Poe said as he and his fighters saw a squadron of First Order Tie fighters fly from the Fulminatrix .
Ackbar and Leia watched from their ship as C-3P0 walked over.
"Oh my, what is captain Dameron doing?" The golden droid said as Leia gave a frustrated look.
"Leia, most of the transports from the base have been loaded." Ackbar said.
"Get the fleet ready to move." She said.
"Where?"
"Crait, we can use the old outpost there from the rebellion." Leia said as Ackbar nodded.
"Ahh yes, sweet memories."
Poe tore apart a Tie fighter that flew at him from the front.
He head BB-8 beep loudly as Poe saw a pair of tie fighters approaching one of their bombers from the side.
"No no, three-four incoming to your right!"
The two fighters ripped into the right wind of the bomber, blowing it off before the ship exploded.
Poe flew up and then came down as he saw two of his A-wings get shot down.
"Protect those bombers!" He shouted firing down on another two tie fighters, dispatching them.
Moments later he saw another of their bombers get hit and destroyed, this time by one of the turrets on the top hull of the Fulminatrix .
"Watch out for those guns!" Poe shouted before something hit him.
"No , no no." Poe said as his weapons stopped working.
BB-8 beeped.
"I know weapons are down, we got one on our tail!" Poe shouted as BB-8 went deeper inside the X-wing and started repairing the ship's weapons.
The fighter was hit again as Poe began to sweat.
"Come on BB-8." Poe said desperately.
As the Tie fighter got Poe in his targeting computer, something hit the fighter from behind.
Poe heard Chewie growl over the coms.
"Whoah, thanks Chewie. Now let's draw the fire away from those bombers."
Poe and Chewie flew over the Fulminatrix , its turrets firing on them as the bombers got closer.
"Shoot them down!" Captain Canady shouted as the Fulminatrix's main lower guns continued recharging and took aim at the Resistance fleet.
Despite drawing the Fulminatrix's topside guns away from the bombers, Cobalt squadron kept losing bombers from the tie fighters, even with fighter support.
"Come on!" Poe shouted as the last three bombers got over the target sight.
Two dropped their proton bombers before being shot down, but inside the third, an explosion from a tie fighter.
The pilot was killed and the bombadeir was knocked nearly unconscious.
She slowly reached for the bomb door controller. She looked up at the proton bomb containers and saw they were damaged, she knew that if she dropped the bombs, her bomber would explode as well.
The woman looked at a gold colored necklace she had around her neck, the necklace was in the shape of half a crescent moon.
She closed her eyes and pressed the button, Poe and Chewie watching as the bomber exploded but most of its payload falling onto the damaged power regulator.
The Fulminatrix shook from the explosion as its lower cannons surged and shut down.
"Sir primary weapons and shields are offline!" an naval personnel shouted to captain Canady.
"Admiral Talix our ship is dead in the water, we need backup!" Captain Canady shouted.
"What? That's impossible, our weapon." Admiral Talix said.
"All ships forward, protect the Fulminatrix !" Captain Yultz shouted.
The three Resurgent class star destroyers rushed forward as fast as they could, launching squadrons of Tie fighters.
"That ship is disabled, we need cruisers!" Poe shouted.
"We copy captain Dameron, cruisers Liberty, and Hope en route." The captain of the Liberty said as Poe and Chewie saw two of the mon calamari cruisers, three of the Kessex corvettes, a Billok cruiser, and two of the Nebulon-c frigates rushed forward.
"What are you doing! Get back here!" Ackbar shouted.
"Negative sir, we're going to avenge the New Republic fleet!" The captain of the Hope shouted.
"Damn new republic officers, this is what I get for leaving the fleet." Ackbar said.
"If you had stayed you'd be with Garm and Mon Mothma." Leia said.
The cruisers reached the Fulminatrix, Poe and his fighters keeping the Tie fighters at bay as the resistance and new republic remnant ships began firing at the damaged Fulminatrix, it's remaining topside guns trying to fire back but could not handle the overwhelming firepower of the cruisers.
Poe saw their Kessex corvettes tear through several Tie fighters before the two Mediator cruisers finally destroyed the Fulminatrix. The dreadnaught breaking apart into three pieces as admiral Tilax watched in horror.
"Our, our weapon." He said shaking.
"All batteries fire!" Captain Yultz shouted.
Poe shouted in excitement before he saw one of the Kessex corvettes get blown to pieces by intense turbo laser fire.
Poe saw the three Resurgent star destroyers upon them , opening up their guns onto their ships.
Poe and his fighters scrambled, but more tie fighters joined the fight.
Admiral Tilax was still distraught as captain Yultz took command.
"Concentrate your fire on those corvettes!" He shouted as one of the star destroyers opened up and tore the other two corvettes get blown apart.
"Fighters into the breach, hit the enemy fleet!" Poe saw three squadrons of tie fighters break through the gap in their formation before flying towards the rest of the fleet.
"No!" He shouted.
Leia watched as the fighters flew towards them.
"Incoming! Scramble fighters and corvettes!" Ackbar shouted.
"No good, most of them are with Dameron." Leia said as the Tie fighters easily tore through the light escort around their ships and shot down the last two transports trying to board her flagship.
The remaining corvette and cruisers tried to shoot them down, but the fighters were too fast and turned their attack to the cargo ships.
"Hit those cargo ships." Captain Yultz said.
"What are you doing, attack the cruisers."
"Sir they don't have any bombers, the cargo ships are the most vulnerable." Captain Yultz said.
"I'm in command here!" Admiral Tilax said before the two cargo ships were torn apart by the tie fighters.
"Excellent not come back and out flank their cruisers."
"No , attack those cruisers, that's an order!" Admiral Tilax shouted.
The fighter pilots were conflicted but did as their admiral ordered.
Poe watched in horror as the three Resurgent class star destroyers tore apart their frigates and cruisers within range, the two Mediator capital ships taking a lot of fire.
"Fall back! Fall back!" Poe shouted.
"tzzzzz trzzz heavzz damazzz critizzz ghaaaaaha!" The captain of the Liberty shouted before seeing two capital ships get destroyed by the First Order fleet.
The com channel was silent as Chewie let out a low groan and BB-8 let out a sad chirp.
"All ships fall back." Poe said as the remaining fighters put all their power to their engines and flew back to the fleet.
"Don't let them escape!" Admiral Tilax shouted, captain Yultz frustrated, if their fighters had flanked them like he suggested, they would have the resistance fighters trapped.
Poe and his fighters returned to their flagship and landed before the remaining Resistance ships jumped to hyperspace.
"They're gone! Captain you've allowed them to escape!" Admiral Tilax shouted as the captain tightened his grip.
"Still we wiped out several of their ships, even if it was at the expense of the Fulminatrix. I will-"
"Admiral, we have an incoming transmission from grand admiral Thrawn." a petty officer said.
"Yes I'll take it in my chamber-" The rear admiral started before a hologram of the chiss grand admiral appeared before the rear admiral.
"Admiral Tilax, supreme leader Snoke demands a progress report on the battle."
"Yes, well. We wiped out half of the enemy fleet and-"
"Half, the Resistance lives." Thrawn said.
"Yes, well." Tilax said nervously.
"Captain Yultz, I would like to hear your assessment."
"That won't be necessary sir, I was-" Admiral Tilax said.
"I asked for the captain's assessment." Thrawn said calmly, but his words having mountains of weight behind it.
"Yes sir, the enemy fleet took several losses, mostly frigates and heavy bombers, we destroyed two capital ships from the new republic remnant, but the flagship Raddus escaped." Captain Yultz said.
"You will both report to the Eclipse immediately."
"Yyes sir." Admiral Tilax said before turning to captain Yultz.
"You cur! How dare you make me look bad in front of grand admiral Thrawn! That's insubordination!"
"I only reported what happened sir, if the grand admiral was unpleased with it, that's on you."
Elsewhere onboard the Raddus Poe dismounted from his X-wing as BB-8 climbed out.
He saw the remaining pilots in his squadron, not a single one of their bombers and less than half of their fighters having returned.
Poe sighed as he saw this, Chewie climbing down from his fighter with the other pilots.
Poe saw Leia with three security troopers waiting for him.
"Is there a problem?" Poe asked before the sergeant hit Poe's stomach, Poe grunting as he bent over, the other two troopers grabbing Poe's arms and restraining him.
"Captain Dameron, you're going to the brig for insubordination." Leia said.
"What?"
"You disobeyed my direct order Poe."
"I took out a new enemy weapon."
"And lost half the fleet including all of our heavy bombers in the process." BB-8 chirped angrily as Poe was taken away.
Chewie and the other pilots were upset by this as well.
Elsewhere in the medical bay, Finn's eyes shot open as he saw himself inside a medical tube.
The doctor heard a commotion as he and his assistant droids turned to see Finn desperately tried to get out.
"Well, I think he's recovered." The doctor said as one of the droids slowly opened the tube as Finn got up and nearly knocked the droid over as he ran through the halls of the ship.
He was almost disoriented as he stumbled around before he realized he was in the detention block, the men standing guard looking at him strangely.
"Finn." He heard, turning to see Poe inside a cell.
"Poe! You're in a cell?"
"Yeah, little thing about not following orders. I see you're better, I'll bet you have a thousand questions."
"Where's Rey?"
On Tython, Rey and Luke kept staring each other down, the silence staying as it almost got uncomfortable.
Luke looked down at the lightsaber again before letting out a sigh.
Luke dropped the lightsaber onto the ground before walking past Rey without a word, R2 staying close beside him.
"What?" Rey said picking up the lightsaber and trying to follow Luke who walked back to the temple and into one of the stone huts.
"Wait, Luke!" Rey said as Luke sat down in the hut, Rey seeing a series of items inside, holojournels, crystals, holocrons, and maps. In an open box, Rey's eyes widened as she saw another lightsaber.
The box shut on its own as Luke used the force to pull some flint rocks over before he started a small fire, placing a small pot over the fire with some water and leaves inside.
"Luke, your sister Leia sent me here. The First Order have destroyed the New Republic, you need to come back, rebuild the Jedi order, you need to train me in the ways of the force so I can defeat Kylo Ren and Snoke."
Luke poured the tea into a cup and sipped it, R2 staying close to Luke as he did.
"No." Luke said before the door shut on its own.
"Hey!" Rey said pounding on the door.
"Thank you for returning R2, it was getting quite lonely here." Luke said from inside.
Luke drunk from cup again beside he looked at R2 and placed his hand on him, R2 chirping.
"I'm sorry I didn't take you with me old friend." Luke said as R2 beeped.
Rey waited for hours before Luke finally came out with R2 following him.
"Luke the galaxy is in dire need." Rey said as Luke scaled to a higher point in the island, Rey following.
Rey saw Luke approach what looked like a makeshift moisture vapor built into the rocky island. Luke put a canteen against the nozzle and filled it with water before going to a gap between one area of the island and a higher area.
"The force is out of balance and you're the only one who can restore it now." Rey said as Luke lowered himself before leaping up dozens of feet into their, Rey was in disbelief as she saw the Jedi master soar up before descending onto the higher point, R2 following with his jet boosters.
While there Luke took out a large metal hook and line before using the force to hurl it into the ocean.
Luke sat down and meditated before feeling something and raised his hand.
The hook and line came back up with a large fish creature on the end. The fish flopped on the ground before like thrusted his palm into its head.
Rey tried to catch her breath as she finally reached the top of the mountain before seeing Luke carry the fish away. He leapt back over the gap as Rey shook her head.
"Oh come on!"
Rey got back to the old temple as she saw Luke eating.
"The Jedi-" Rey started.
"Enough!" Luke shouted as he turned to Rey looking Tired and frustrated.
"Enough, you made a mistake coming here. The man you're looking for is gone, he died a long time ago." Luke said.
"I didn't go through everything I've gone through, fly here on the Millennium Falcon, watch Han Solo die for you too!"
Luke's eyes widened as he turned to Rey.
"What did you say?"
The Eclipse orbited Hosnian Prime with thirty resurgent class star destroyers and two Mandator IV- dreadnaughts as well.
Kylo Ren stood in an elevator as it went up. Many things on Kylo's mind as he went up. Beside Kylo was a black BB droid with a flat topped head.
He then entered the chamber with his droid and saw the black floor with the red wall behind it. A black throne stood in the center with a machine to the right of the throne.
Around the throne were fourteen figures. Twelve were clad in red armor plates and cloak leggings with faceless mask-helmets and each wielding a melee weapon. The two figures closest to the throne were in black armor around their chests and arms, cloak like bottoms around their legs with black pants underneath and black boots. Their faces were also covered by black helmets with red visors over the eyes, and each holding a lightsaber pike in hand.
Also by the throne were none other than General Hux and Grand Admiral Thrawn.
In the throne was a large figure wearing a black cloak with padded shoulders. The hood concealed the figure's face as Kylo saw rear admiral Tilax and captain Yultz before the throne.
"Half of the enemy fleet was destroyed, it was a clear victory." Admiral Tilax said.
"Half of the Resistance fleet escaped, and according to captain Yultz, their leadership." Snoke said as he sat in his throne.
"Captain Yultz exaggerates the situation."
"The way captain Yultz explains what happened, you held the fleet back, wanting to let the Mandator IV- dreadnaught fight alone." Hux said.
"I thought it would be a good time to test our new weapon. If it didn't fight alone, we wouldn't know its full capa-"
"Had you engaged with all of your forces, the Resistance could have been finished. The remnants of the New Republic would have no one to follow or rally behind. The war would be over." Thrawn said.
"Sir I-"
The room almost shook as Snoke raised his right hand, a bolt of black force lightning hitting admiral Tilax through the chest as Yultz almost shook.
Thrawn seemed unfazed as he saw the smoking hole in Tilax's chest , the man holding it before his body seemed to burn up into nothing.
"Yultz, it seems you were the more competent officer after all, you're here by promoted to rear admiral." Thrawn said as Yultz bowed to Snoke.
"I will return to my fleet, we will join the other fleets searching for the Resistance." Yultz said before departing.
Kylo approached Snoke, looking at the spot where Tilax was destroyed
"Such incompetence from a man of his rank. I expect better from my admiral's Thrawn." Snoke said.
"Our influx of defectors from our former enemies has left us with many not up to First Order standards." The Chiss said.
"Perhaps, but it seems they're not the only ones who disappoint." Snoke said as Kylo kneeled.
"Kylo Ren, you have completed the block."
"I have master."
"You continue to excel in training, but yet you still disappoint me in action."
"Master, I."
"Remove that dammed helmet!" Snoke shouted.
Kylo slowly removed his helmet, revealing a few scars on his face.
"The girl, the awakening in the force, you allowed her to escape!"
"Master, she stood no chance against me."
"Ohh, a girl who had never been trained in the force was no match for Kylo Ren, master of the Knights of Ren, slayer of a dozen Jedi knights. Yet she still bested you twice in the duel, and escaped your assault!"
"Master, she-"
"Is now with Skywalker, likely receiving training from him. Perhaps convincing him to rebuild the Jedi order again. Someone like you should have stopped this from happening, you should have killed the girl, but you were unbound, off balance. When I first found you, I saw the potential for the greatest dark force user to ever live, you had the right bloodline, the passion, and the raw power. But perhaps I was mistaken."
Kylo now looked angry.
"I have given you everything, my loyalty , my own father!"
"Killing Solo did not turn you as I intended, it has split your soul in half. I now see you are not Vader reborn, you are a boy in a mask pretending!" Kylo got to his feet as Snoke raised his hand and blasted him with black force lightning.
Kylo screamed in pain as he fell to his side.
The praetorian guards raised their weapons as the shadow guards ignited their lightsaber pikes, all fourteen aiming their weapons at Kylo.
Snoke waved them back as he stood up.
Kylo tried to get up , but Snoke blasted him again.
Thrawn had an almost sorrowful look while Hux smiled a little.
"Get up, if you're worth anything to me you'll get up!"
Kylo slowly got up despite the pain and tried to reach for his master only to be hurled back, the BB droid rolling up beside him as he chirped in concern.
"Hmp." Snoke said as he sat back down again.
"Get out of my sight."
Kylo was back in the elevator holding his helmet in his right hand and his droid beside him.
Kylo's yellow looking to be on fire as he looked at the helmet while shaking.
The BB droid beeped in concern for Kylo before he screamed and smashed the helmet through the elevator wall.
When the door opened a pair of First Order naval personnel saw Kylo with his helmet in pieces on the ground. They saw the feral expression on Kylo's face and both quickly backed up before the BB droid carefully followed Kylo out, the walls starting to crack and glass shatter as Kylo walked.
Another naval personnel in his path as the man was lifted into the air holding his neck.
The BB droid beeped before Kylo felt someone else grab his shoulder.
Kylo turned as he saw another knight of Ren behind him.
"Kylo, easy." She said as Kylo breathed, dropping the naval man as he almost ran away.
The BB droid seemed relieved as he saw the young woman. She wore the black armor cloak of the knights of Ren but didn't have her helmet on. She had fair skin with grey eyes and long golden red hair.
Kylo's feral expression started to calm as he breathed, the young woman putting her arms around Kylo as she did so.
"You should see her."
Kylo breathed.
"Alright Tratha." Kylo said as the knight of Ren took Kylo by the hand and lead him down the hallway.
"Come on BB-9." Tratha said as the BB astro droid followed them.
They went to a locked chamber, Tratha entering a code before they entered a different type of chamber, it was colored red, black, and white with a cushioned area on the ground, toys, and a metal crib padded on the inside.
Tratha reached inside and came out with a baby wrapped in black who was now crying.
Tratha held the baby in her arms as she tried to comfort her.
"Shhh, it's ok Allana." She said, the baby had the same skin tone as Kylo and Tratha with sines of golden red hair growing on her and brown eyes.
"Daddy's back Allana." She said before handing the baby to Kylo who now held her in his arms.
The baby seemed to stop crying as she was held by Kylo who looked down at her while BB-9 r
