*(On the planet's surface, the droid outpost/factory is on high alert as the intercom turns on and a B1 battle droid saying-)

Battle Droid: All droids, to your stations! All droids, to your stations!

(Poe and Finn run to Leia in the control room of the factory.)

Poe: General! What do we do?! How did the First Order find us?!

Leia: I don't know! But that doesn't matter now! All we know is that they're here and here to finish us off for good.

Finn: Can't we just leave and let the droids slow them down?

Leia: No, we cannot leave! Gren-Frae will easily give up and call us cowards and traitors for leaving him to die. We must help him in any way we can and hold the First Order back!

(Finn and Poe look at each other, then back at Leia.)

Poe: Alright fine! I'll take as many able pilots with me to take the battle to space and maybe-

Leia: Take the Vultures and TRI-fighters with you! They're more dangerous than they look.

Poe: Sure thing general! (He pats Finn on the shoulder and runs in the direction of the hanger)

Leia: Finn! (He looks at her) If the time comes, then you must lead the ground forces.

Finn: Sure thing general! I already have a plan in mind.

(Then a battle droid runs to Leia to inform her of urgent news.)

Battle Droid: General! Enemy bombers are inbound straight towards us!

(Leia looks at the large window above the main control panels and sees First Order TIE bombers flying towards the base about to shoot out their bombs to destroy the base. They get closer and closer, suddenly they explode just before they fire reveling Poe Dameron's black X-wing followed by more X-wings, A-wings, and Y-wings which are then followed by Vulture droids and TRI-fighters. Leia then receives a holocommunicator call from Poe.)

Poe: Are you alright general?

Leia: We're okay. Thank you Dameron.

Poe: No worries General! I'll lead my squadron and the droids up into orbit and attack the First Order fleet!

Leia: May the force be with you. (She hangs up)

(Poe, the rest of Black Squadron, and the droid star fighters, leave the planet's atmosphere to engage the enemy.)

Poe: Alright Black Squadron all wings report in!

(Black Squadron call their squadron numbers and the droids make their clicks and barks. TIE fighters emerge from all the Star Destroyers and the battle above Geonosis begins.)
