Star Wars IX : Black Diamond

Chapter 1

Hi everyone, what you are about to read is a traduction of a fan fiction that I made about two years ago, after the released of The Last Jedi. It was before the episode 9, i had no idea of what it was going to happen and i wanting to make my own version before the released of ROS. But i never finished it and now that the last episode is released, and i'm not happy with what happened, I've decided to recreate it, so here is my version of the Rise of Skywalker (called Black Diamond because it was supposed to be the title of the film^^"). disclaimer !!! English isn't my first language so be nice with me please. thank you !!! (you can listen to the music while reading ;)))

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Millennium Falcon flew through space, leaving the entire First Order behind.

Ships, cruisers and crews, all destroyed by the destroyers...

The Resistance now had nothing left, except that old pre-war scrap heap, which was still the fastest ships, with about 20 survivors on board.

All these beautiful people were now wandering aimlessly through hyperspace... Each one trying to reassure the other and be optimistic.

-What do we do now, General? Captain Poe Dameron asked...

A silence had just settled in the audience, all were waiting for comforting words from the General Organa.

-I asked Chewbacca to lead us to an old rebel base. It was used during the Great War, and it could provide us with shelter, as well as a way to start afresh and be forgotten by the First Order.

Everyone looked at her without saying a word.

-Unfortunately, I don't know if it is still in working order, but I'm sure there are some old modules and first aid kits left. Besides, no one will suspect that we'll be lurking here... The next few weeks are going to be tough kids, the First Order is going to comb the galaxy, and even though we're on the outer rim, they're going to do everything they can to find us. Maybe we'll meet them on our long journey, and that's why I'm asking for great wisdom from every one. Her gaze lingered on Dameron, who many times had disappointed her. These last times have been difficult for the Resistance, but do not forget that We are the little spark that will ignite the gunpowder, We are the hope of all oppressed beings, and We will not be defeated by this so-called "First Order", because We are the Resistance.

This speech was followed by a slight silence, which then gave way to a myriad of applause and cheers for the old woman.

Rey stood aside, remaining silent, having listened to nothing of the speech, insensitive to all this ambient optimism, She was still troubled by what she had felt on Crait, the mineral planet.

She had shared all of her feelings with the General, who also had felt this. They had talked about it at length, both of them had felt at the same time the fading of Skywalker's mind... 

He was now gone...

Feeling the emotion rising in her eyes, she got up and left the room, and quickly made her way to the command post, where she would be out of sight for a while.

An imposing mass of hairs was at the helm of the ship, an empty seat serving as his co-pilot. Concentrating on the cockpit screens, he paid little attention to the young woman, who settled down beside him.

-So, Chewie, how's it going?

He responded with a growl

-What do you mean "they" piss you off?

the wookie pointed to a couple of plucked stowaways hidden in a hole in the bulkhead, probably dug by these wild animals.

-Oh, I see.
