Lost - A Reylo Fanfiction

Chapter 18

Rey POV

My lightsaber ignites with Ben's, the crackling of our weapons a muted sound amongst the blaster shots. We strike through the troopers, trying to get as many as we can as the rest shoot them from the outside.

Ben pushes away the stormtroopers closest to us using the Force. He tries to communicate with me and I understand immediately what he's saying. I hold off the troopers nearest to me the same way Ben pushed them away, making sure he won't get attacked from the back. Ben's fiery saber strikes through numerous troopers but he can't clear a path, the gaps just keep filling up with more white armour.

Leia seems to understand what Ben is trying to do and shouts over the noise, "Poe! Finn! Shoot down the troopers to clear a path for Ben!"

Poe and Finn look at each other in a quick state of confusion, then start blasting troopers quicker than they cam fill the empty spaces. Ben quickly runs through the gap, piercing through any stormtroopers on the way, and makes his way out of the circle. I'm exhausted from holding them back and fall to my knees, fending them off with a lightsaber as Ben runs rowards his enemy; Armitage Hux.

Ben POV

I run as fast as I can towards Hux, my aim to kill him so the First Order dies with him. Without Hux there is no command, and once he's gone the war will go too.

Surrounding Hux there are a number of soldiers, there to protect him from any harm I'd assume. His face is stuck in a smirk but it won't be for long. I come to a stop several metres away from him and the moment he sees me, it's like a storm has brewed over the hatred in his eyes.

"Kill him," he sneers to the troopers around him, but he knows those few are no match for what's to come. Within minutes they're dead, lying on the ground with red armour instead of white.

I look into the eyes of this monster of a man, a man so cold hearted he'd stop at nothing to get command. There are no words to describe the anger I have for him. He tries to blast me with his blaster but I deflect the shots to the sand around him. I raise my saber to end him, but suddenly there's a pain in my neck and I'm lying on the ground, lightsaber by Hux's feet.

I look up to see who had hit me, but there's another wham to the head and I see the chrome armour of Phasma as my eyes drift shut against my will.
