[Looking at the cell door, two stormtroopers were posted at the door. As I felt around my handcuffs.]

Rey: These handcuffs weren't made for us.

Ben: Sort of.

[As the cuffs tightened around my wrist, I winced almost biting my tongue.]

Ben: It tightens whenever you move your wrists to a high degree.

Rey: Right.

[I nodded, before looking back up at him.]

Rey: Follow my lead.

[Kneeling down he followed me, as I stepped under my arms, bringing my wrists up to the front. He wasn't far behind, as the stormtroopers took notice to our movements.]

Inhales

Rey: You will release our restraints and leave with the door open.

S1: As if we'd do that rebel scum-

[I gasped as they were both shot down from the back, and Hux suddenly walked up to the cell door.]

Hux: No need for theatrics.

[He scanned the door open, then used a key to unlock our cuffs.]

Rey: Why are you doing this?

Hux: I'm the spy.

Ben: I knew it.

Hux: No you didn't.

[Ben shrugged, as Hux passed us our lightsabers.]

Hux: You know what to do.

[As he braced, Ben just waved his hand knocking him out, as I floated him safely into the cell. And we closed the door together.]

Ben: Follow me.

[Nodding, we sneaked past guards and security, taking shortcuts and crawled through abandoned sections of the destroyer. We were climbing up section boards, as the alarm went off.]

Rey: That's not good.

Ben: No it's not.

[We hurried our pace, and made it to the landing bay. It was a lot of open space, but it's too late to worry about that now. Igniting our lightsabers, we got back to back blocking gunfire, as we walked to a ship step by step.]

S1: Traitor!

[I saw Hux thrown down, and Ben saw my expression before running to get him. I covered his back, as my arm and leg was grazed from the increasing gunfire. I heard Ben yell as he was shot in the back, and I hurried to them both, taking all the gunfire.]

Hux: Whoa-

Ben: Let's go!

[Ben pulled him inside the ship, as a shot hit my stomach, I winced and kneeled down. They stopped firing, before surrounding me, getting to the ship was too far now as I stood up. Feeling the wounds starting to bleed down.]

Ben: Rey...

[Looking back at Ben, I felt a cold voice enter my head as the silence took over.]

You feel it don't you?

That anger, use it!

[Turning back to the guards, I dropped my lightsaber barely breathing.]

Do it!

[They all shot at me, but each one of the lasers stopped before hitting me.]

Inhales

[Opening my palms, I yelled as the shots reversed back into every guard and machine, sending them back a couple meters too. The only thing that snapped me back was Ben grabbing my shoulder.]
