"Finn!" I screamed into the coms, my voice breathless and stressed as I sprinted toward the tower "Finn! Damnit! FINN!" I cried
"What!?" He asked frantically, his voice full of concern.
"Kylo knows we're here! We have to go now!" I shouted, "NOW!" I stressed. Swear and precipitation dropped down my face as I reached the thin building. The sleek, white door hissed open as I burst inside. I ran down the thin hall, nearly slipping as my feet had no traction. I pounded on the door Poe walked into earlier and impatiently waited for the door to open.
"Poe! We have to go now! Poe! Poe open the door! We need to leave!" I screamed, my fist aching from my impulsive beating. The suddenly door opened and Poe was on the other side, along with a small, purple woman with many arms, I assumed she was Wef.
"What the hell going on?!" He asked quickly, Finn came through the door and ran up next to me. Both of our faces were clear pictures of terror and urgency.
"The First Order, they know we're here, we have to go now!" I screamed, Poe's eyes widened and so did Wef's. Wef turned back toward the room, her arms scooping up any items she had. I watched as she stuff them into a duffel bag and threw it around her small body.
"How did they find us?" Poe asked, "we didn't trigger any alarms?" He shouted with confusion in his voice. I could see the quizzical look in his eyes, he planned on us having more time. I struggled to make words as I stood there helplessly. I couldn't tell him I saw Kylo and had a small, heated conversation with him. So I fibbed.
"A feeling" I said stupidly, he furrowed his brow and looked at Wef. Wef shrugged her shoulders and cracked her many knuckles. Poe sighed and pressed his lips together.
"I'll believe it" Poe muttered, obviously just wanting to escape the wet planet and get Wef back to base.
"Captain Wef, I know you're probably debating to trust us or not, but I implore you to come with us right now" Finn said frantically.
"Commander Dameron has said enough, I trust you more than I do those tyrants!" Wef cursed, relief washing over Finn. Poe smirked and patted Wef on the back.
"Great! we're leaving right now!" Poe yelled, "where's the Y-Wing?!" He asked Wef, she waved her hand in a motion for us to follow. She swiftly ran out of the door and out of the building. We followed her out and she ran towards the back of the building, "come on! It's over here!" She shouted, Poe pointed to his coms and Finn sprinted off with her. Poe and I ran towards our X-Wings and frantically jumped inside.
"How the hell did they know?" Finn asked through the coms, I lowered the roof to my ship and debated whether to lie.
"I don't know, I just have a feeling they know" I lied, Poe started up his ship, his engine spraying water away from the ground. I pulled the pilots helmet onto my head and went to turn on mine but it wouldn't go, a light flashed on my small screen. I looked around my cockpit for something wrong but I saw nothing. My heart pounded rapidly as my ship refused to leave its landing gear.
"Rey! What's wrong!?" Poe yelled, I looked over my shoulder and through the window of my ship. My chest grew tight as I saw the fuel pump was still in my ship.
"It's the fuel pump! Just get out of here, I'll be right behind you!" I shouted into the coms, I jumped out of the X-Wing and jumped onto the fuel pump. The water being sprayed from Poe's ship felt like blasts of glass ripping across my skin. I grit my teeth as I grabbed the fuel line and pulled the pump from my ship.
I threw the line to the ground and looked out over the landing strip, my heart sunk in terror. A large, rogue wave crashed against the strip and toppled over me and my ship. I screamed in shock as the weight of the water pulled me to the ground below. I smashed against the landing strip and felt disoriented as the wave washed away. I gasped for breath and ripped the helmet from my head. I forced myself to my feet, salty water dripping into my eyes and causing them to burn badly. I jumped into my ship and saw the blinking light cease it's rhythmic beeping. "I got it! I'm good to-" I yelled, but I was swiftly interrupted.
A deafening boom rang through the gloomy sky as I looked up and saw a First Order command ship looming over the city. Fear filled me as I switched on all the power sources and yanked the joysticks back, my ship launched itself into the sky and I saw could faintly see Poe's ship in the distance.
"Poe? Finn? Is Captain Wef safe?" I yelled into the coms, "hello?!" I called again. My wet hair fell in my face, sticking to my cheeks and lips as I yelled frantically.
"They went eastward, just outside the atmosphere, yes we're safe. Are you, where are you!?" Finn shouted back, I looked around and saw I was still in the atmosphere. I clenched my jaw in realization, I wasn't in the clear yet.
"I'm still in the atmosphere but I'm almost-" my update to Finn was cut short, as my ship suddenly rumbled. I looked behind me and saw the command ship was only 600 feet away. It's dark colors and readied canons struck my heart in terror.
"Oh no" I muttered, I pushed the joysticks forward to fly away but my ship didn't move. I pushed the joysticks as hard as I could, my ship crying in effort. I screamed in frustration as my ship would not move, I was trapped. "Finn?! Poe!?" I shouted in to the coms.
"R-...ca- can yo-...Rey!" Finn's coms stuttered, something was powering off my coms, shutting me off from help. Suddenly crimson light surrounded my ship, I looked around frantically and pulled on my controls, nothing worked anymore. My engine wouldn't rev, my navigational chart was black and my lightspeed button ceased blinking. I reached in my pocket and pulled out the small, personal transmission coms.
"Finn?! Poe?!" I shouted, "can you hear me!" I prayed to the maker for a response. I needed something, anything.
"I hear you!" Poe yelled back, his voice full of confusion.
"I'm here!" Finn said calmly, "What the hell is happening?" He asked anxiously. "Rey! Rey? what's happening?" He asked.
"My ships powered down, nothing is working...my controls are d-dead" my words started to fumble as my lips trembled, "I'm in a tractor beam!" I yelled in fear. I couldn't help but start to panic as I could do absolutely nothing.
"Everything's dead?" Finn asked, my voice faltered as I tried to yell back.
"...everything" I murmured.
"Look Rey, I can get you" Poe offered, but we needed Wef and Poe. I looked to my left and felt my ship rumble violently, I was being pulled towards the command ship.
"No! You need to get Wef back to the base!" I yelled, the mission becoming more important than my personal safety.
"Are you crazy, we aren't leaving you!" Finn yelled, his voice breaking from pain. He was my best friend, he would leave Wef behind in a heartbeat to save me. I couldn't let that happen.
"No!" I yelled, my ship trembling violently as I neared the first order's cruiser.
"Shit!" Poe yelled, in heard a bang of Poe slamming his fist down on something.
"Finn...get Wef back to the base before it's too late! I can't let them get you too!" I ordered, I looked back and saw how close I was to the ship. I was only seconds before all my communication devices would be shut off for good. "I love you guys!" I said sincerely, misery covering my voice.
"Rey! N!-" Finn screamed, his voice echoed in my ear. Silence filled my ship as the first orders technology overrode my own. The coms were dead, I was completely alone. A dry tear fell down my face as I held my hands to my chest and tried to calm myself down. All I had was myself, I had be strong.
