Brave Enough [Obi Wan x Reader]

Once upon a time...
In a galaxy far far away...

(Y/n)'s POV

"QUEEN (L/N)!" A voice called from the door of your living quarters. The dark room signified that it was still night on your home planet Drea, but you could tell something was off.

"What is it?" You asked, getting out of bed. You were still dressed in your night clothes as the guard came into your room. It was Tristan, your personal body guard and adopted brother.

"I apologize for the interruption, but the building is under attack!" Tristan informed you, grabbing you by the arm. He started running, forcing you to go with him. Technically, it was forbidden for one to touch royalty, but now was not the time for that.

"W-what!?" You exclaimed, shocked and confused. You were recently named the Queen of Drea since the majority of the planet voted you in. You were aware that people were against you, but none of them would try to kill you.

"No time to explain my Queen," Your brother was taking you to the landing pad. "You have to get off planet now, I can't risk your life." his tone was urgent.

"But, my people-" you stumbled for words. "I can't abandon them!"

Behind you, screams started to tear through the night, only to be drowned out by the sound of far off explosions.

"Your people would be lost if you died!" Tristan yelled over the chaos. You could see the landing pad ahead of you now, a ship was prepared to take off.

Behind the ship, the whole landscape was glowing with fire. The smoke burned your lungs and you started coughing. Tristan's pulling wouldn't allow you to slow down though.

"Go!" He yelled, pushing you towards the shuttle.

"What about you!?" You asked, stumbling and turning around. Your hair blew into your face as you saw him smile. He was terrified, just like you, yet he didn't show it.

"Don't worry about me, Queenie, just get out of here." He then ran back into the building without a second thought.

"TRISTA--!"

Another guard pulled you into the shuttle as the building exploded, the debris nearly hitting your ship as you took off.

"Tristan.. " You whispered as the building started to fade into the landscape. You noticed what looked to be droid carriers setting down on the surface and battle droids marching in the streets.

The Separatists! But you were a neutral solar system, why would they--

The ship suddenly lurched to the side, knocking you out of your thoughts. Your shuttle was under attack.

You made your way to the cock pit, feeling two more impacts shake the ship. White smoke rose from some of the panels and you covered your mouth to avoid inhaling it.

"Status report!" You commanded, opening the door to the cockpit.

"There's three vulture droids on our tail, they're taking out all of the evacuation shuttles!" The pilot replied.

You notice the Co-pilot is out of commission, he must have hit his head or something. You drag the Co-pilot out of his seat and take his place.

"With all do respect ma'am I don't think you have the experience--" The pilot started but you cut her off.

"I know what I'm doing." You put on the co-pilots headset and took control of the weapons.

"Alright then, give them your best shot." The pilot let you take the weapons systems as she focused on flying.

You took a deep breath and looked at the weapon screen, waiting for the droids to line up. Your heart was beating faster then you thought possible and adrenaline rushed through your veins. Oh, how you missed this feeling.

One...

Two...

Three!

You let the lasers fly. For a minute you thought you had missed, but suddenly two of the vultures exploded.

"WOO! Nice shooting (L/n)!" The pilot smiled, suddenly pitching the ship to the left. "Just one more!"

You couldn't help but smile a little at her enthusiasm and tightened your grip on the blaster controls.

The vulture seemed to evade all of your attempts to take it out when suddenly the pilot flung the ship around to face it.

"SHOOT IT NOW!" She cried out, sounding almost out of her mind.

It was so sudden you almost missed, but sure enough, your shot was true.

The vulture exploded and the younger girl next to you sighed in relief. You hadn't realized she was so young until you got a good look at her, she acted like an adult.

"We aren't out of the woods yet," You reminded her, "The Separatists can still send more after us."

"Yeah, I know." She turned the pod around and started to make distance between you and the fleet. There were 5 other evacuation ships behind you. "Thora Balthazar, nice to meet you my Queen."

"Likewise Ms. Baltha--"

"Thora. Ms. Balthazar is too formal for me."

"Thora." You repeated, "You are an excellent pilot, Thora, for being so young."

"And you're an excellent shot, Queen (L/n), for being a royal."

You both smiled at each other before Thora looked at the ships behind your own. You sighed as you saw how few there are.

"I'm going to get my actual co-pilot to the med bay. " Thora said, flicking a few switches and putting the ship on auto pilot. "You might want to give those refugees a pep talk or whatever you leaders do." She said, gesturing to the other shuttles before getting up and dragging the other co-pilot away.

You sighed as you looked at the button which opens your comms, unsure of what to say. What has just happen is catastrophic... Do you really have the right words to comfort them?

You pressed the button and hesitated for a minute before speaking to your people.

"I am Queen (Y/n) (L/n) of planet Drea. I am here to tell you that we have survived and I know we have all left loved ones behind. I feel your pain and I know your suffering but we cannot give in to the Separatists. I repeat, do not give up. Drea is depending on us. We cannot afford to lose hope now... We do not have enough fuel to make it out of the outer rim. However, perhaps we can contact Republic in some way, they are our only hope now." You paused, looking out into space. "I promise you, I will do everything in my power to keep us all safe... So, worry not, for I am here beside you... "

You turned off the comms and slumped back in your seat.

This was going to be a long trip.
