*(Luke and Rey fly towards the factory only for them to be greeted by defense canons firing at them. Luke sends a signal towards the factory to cease fire.)

Luke: Woah! Woah! Hold your fire! We're friendly!

(Leia receives the signal and answers it.)

Leia: Who are you?! Answer me now or you will be shot down!

Luke: This is Red 5 of the Rebel Alliance. The TIE fighter is with me.

Rey: It's us Leia!

Leia: Rey? You found him?

Rey: Enter the hanger and find out my lady!

(Leia enters the hanger as the X-wing and TIE fighter enter as well. Luke and Rey exit from there fighters. Luke turns to see Leia. He walks to her.)

Leia: Took you long enough farm boy.

Luke: Hello Leia. (They smile and hug each other with a tight embrace)

Leia: Where the hell have you been?!

Luke: Away. And for far too long it seems.

Leia: Well your definitely right about that. (She sees Rey and hugs her with a tear going down her face) Thank you. Thank you Rey. (Sniffles) Thank you so much. Me and the Resistance are extremely grateful. But sadly gratefulness won't save us right now.

Luke: We can tell. And what possessed you to think that it would be a good idea to work with battle droids? (Looks to see the droids hard at work)

Leia: We needed all the help we could use Luke. The local geonosian general was thankfully able to help us.

Luke: Very strange but... acceptable. Is there any Rey and I can do to help?

Rey: Yes my lady, is there anything?

Leia: Not at the moment. Hopefully the battle in orbit, will stay in orbit.

(They all look to the sky where the large space battle is taking place. The battle in space has become one to be talked about for ages. First Order and Resistance cruisers firing at each other with starfighters swarming all of them like flies taking each other out. Poe Dameron leads his forces on trying to attack the main auto cannons of all the Destroyers.)

Poe: Black Leader to Black Squadron! And... vultures and TRI's. We need to focus our fire on the auto cannons firing at the main cruiser! If that gets destroyed then none of us will live to tell the tale! Also we cannot allow any troop transports to be able to land on the surface of the planet.

Pilots: We read you Poe!

(Black Squadron and the droid fighters then flew around to fire upon the destroyers and their auto cannons whilst also hunting down any troop transports they could find. Suddenly, like a stroke of lightning, Poe watches as about three of his pilots get shot down in a row. Poe sees the TIE that took down his pilots to see a TIE fighter model he's never seen before... a TIE silencer.)

Pilot: Who the hell is that?!

Poe: I don't know, but whoever he is... he's good. Watch out for that one Black Squadron!

Pilot: Black Leader look! At the Super Star Destroyer!

(Poe looks at the Star Destroyer to see that their cannons have stopped firing. Up in the bridge of the Supremacy, General Armitage Hux looks out towards the battle with a smirk.)

Officer: General! Our cannons are almost at full power! At least two barrages can destroyer their command ship!

Hux: Good. I would love to see the look of despair on Leia's face once she realizes that there will be no way out for her and her pitiful Resistance. You may fire when ready.
