Endor
Ben's POV
I watch the shuttle leave then board the Falcon.
I sigh and enter the cockpit. Chewbecca greets me, as I take the seat behind him next to my mother.
"What are you doing?"
"Umm... sitting."
"You're flying us there Ben." She informs me.
"Oh... oh!" I get up and move into my father's spot. "Mom?"
"Here." She interrupts handing me his vest that she gave me a while ago. "I went back to your room for it."
I slide it on. "Thank you mom." I smile at her.
She nods and smiles back.
"Sorry to ruin the moment." Uncle Luke says taking his seat. "But we have a planet to save."
"Right." I say and turn back around. "Let's get this show on the road."
We take off and leave the atmosphere. "Prepare for lightspeed Uncle Chewy." He roars in reply. "Hang on back there." I instruct my family. Uncle Chewy roars again and I set the Falcon into lightspeed for Endor.
-------------------------------------------------------
Rey's POV
"Prepare for landing and battle." Phasma says as she exits the control room and into where we have have been for the past day.
I sigh and look at Finn. "Ready?"
He sighs as well. "As I'll ever be."
"And that's the reason right there that I refuse to love."
I look over at Sassy. "What?"
"Can't get hurt if there's no one left I love." She takes out her axe and sharpens it again for the thrid time.
I hear Finn gulp loudly. "Why do you have an axe instead of a blaster anyways?" He asks.
"Not instead of, but along with." She puts up the blaster sitting next to her. "I have a blaster along with my axe because that's my favorite weapon and sometimes you need to just decapitate a trooper or two."
------------------------------------------------------
The ramp opens and we rush down the ramp. I pull out my lightsaber and rush forward ahead of the group. "Clear for departure." I yell into the comm-link to Phasma.
"Copy that. Good luck out there Rey." She replies.
"Let's move!" I shout over the sound of battle laying ahead.
"You heard her, let's go!" Sassy shouts.
I take off running and ignite my sabers. I force jump over some ewoks.
I slice through one, two... three.
Five troopers within a matter of seconds.
"Get the jedi!" I hear a trooper yell behind me.
I turn and see Emi's blaster send him flying. I smile and nod at her. We press forward with the advantage. A few troopers run and I force push them down. The group of Ewoks attack, spearing stormtrooper and throwing rocks.
After we finish off the last of them an ewok comes to me and begins speaking, but I don't understand.
"Anyone speak Ewok?"
"Yeah." Emi comes over and begins translating.
"He said you must be Rey and I told him you were and introduced ourselves."
"Okay, thank you."
"No problem. He said we need to head left ahead at the great fallen tree, can't miss it."
"Okay. Let's go." The ewoks begin following us.
Finn comes up. "Ready to advance? They're still in retreat."
"Yeah." I smile. We begin walking when I start to feel uneasy and hear a groan. "Hold up." I raise my fist half way up. I turn and see Madeline limping. "Madeline!"
I race through the group to where she is exhaustedly trying to contuine. "We need a medic!" I call out as she faints into my arms. "Hold on Madeline, I got you." There's blood... she took a blast in her leg and her side. "I need some cloth!"
Sassy hands me some cloth. "Thank you." I look up and see its from the bottom of her shirt and her midriff is now showing.
"No problem. Maybe I'll be a distraction for the stormtroopers now." She winks at me, then looks down at Madeline. I begin wrapping her leg. "Anyone have water?"
There's a mumbled chorus of no and tears gather in my eyes.
"Rey." Sassy puts a hand on my shoulder. Finn comes over and checks for a pulse. My lip quivers as I see his eyes search her face, I look down, her chest isn't rising.
"I'm sorry." Finn says. "There's nothing we can do."
A branch cracks. "We have to move." Emi demands.
I lay her down and silently begin crying.
"We have to carry on... For Poe and Ben." Finn encourages me. I nod and take a breath.
I raise my comm-link and press the button linking me to Ben and Leia. "Rey to Leia, Rey to Leia... Madeline died. We hear troops coming. Over."
"Contuine the advance, over." Leia tells us.
"Copy that, over and out."
Be safe. I hear Ben's voice in my mind and smile slightly.
We begin walking forward and freeze when we hear the footsteps approaching.
"Hold position." I say.
"There's the great fallen tree." Emi speaks to me for the same ewok from earlier. I nod an okay to her. "I suggest we take cover behind it." I shake my head.
"We should hide among the trees." Finn speaks up.
"Agreed." Sassy chimes in.
"Why don't we take cover behind the great fallen tree?" Emi asks back.
"Because they have!" Sassy yells and we all run for cover as a spray of blasts come towards us.
Finn, Sassy, and I are behind the same tree. "Cover me." I tell Finn.
"No problem."
"Rey to Leia, Rey to Leia!" I yell panicked into the comm-link.
"Rey what's wrong?" I hear Ben shout back equally as panicked.
"We are outnumbered greatly at the Great Fallen Tree." I tell him.
"Sending Poe your way."
A ship flys overhead and blasts the swarm of stormtroopers sky-high into the air.
"Rey, are you there?"
"Yes. Thank you, and send thanks to Poe."
"Will do. Over." He goes back to being professional.
"Over and out." I tell him back smiling.
I switch the comm-link to Phasma as my team finishes off the last of the stormtroopers.
"Rey to Phasma, Rey to Phasma, do you copy?" There's no reply. "Phasma come in, Phasma."
I switch back. "Rey to Ben."
"Are you okay? Over."
"Yes, has Johanna return for the ship swap? Over."
"No, have you been in contact with Phasma? Over."
"No, that's why I'm contacting you. Over."
"Phasma should be fine. She can handle herself. Worry about yourself. Over."
I sigh. "Fine. Over and out." I look back to Finn. Who signals the all clear for the group.
"Let's move!" Emi calls out.
We all come out of hiding when a stormtrooper moves on the ground and I hold my hand out freezing them.
"Leader." The trooper chokes out. I look at Emi who looks at me. Finn runs over to the trooper and I unfreeze them. "FN-2187?" They ask.
Finn reaches down and sits them up. "Its Finn now. How do you know me?"
Sassy has a blaster on the trooper, as we watch in anticipation.
The trooper removes their helmet and we realize it's a girl.
"CT-2188?" Finn smiles and breathes out.
"Yeah it's me." She smiles and Finn embraces her. "How are you?"
"Are you an enemy or not?" Sassy asks the girl with a blaster pointed at her head.
Finn stands up and helps her. "CT, join us." He almost begs her.
"I don't know, Nines says you're a traitor and Hux has you labeled as one too and we're supposed to shoot you on target."
"So can I shoot her or what?" Sassy asks me.
I hold up my hand for her to hold and be patient.
"CT, join us, the resistance will welcome you. Open arms, no questions asked... Okay a couple, but it's way better than the Order."
"Ok I will." She smiles.
"Hi, I'm Rey." I hold out my hand.
"I remember you! You're less intimidating in colors."
"Oh." I giggle. "Yeah black is a First Order thing huh?"
"So is not having a real name." Finn chimes in. "We need to rename her."
"CT huh?" Emi asks. She nods.
"How about Caiti?" Finn asks.
"Caiti? Yeah I like that." Caiti smiles at us.
An ewok comes up and snatches her gun and points a spear at her.
Emi begins translating with him.
"Wub-Wub." He walks over and pulls off a piece of her uniform.
"Here let me help." Finn says and begins taking off her uniform pieces.
Ben's POV
Leia has taken off to drop Luke at his location in the Falcon and left me at the main ship on Endor's moon.
"Sir?" Samaya comes over. I turn and face her. "Tie Fighters have arrived, we need to beware of ground fire now because of the forrests on Endor."
"Advise Poe to stop all ground assaults and focus on damaging Tie Fighters enough to crash land."
"Yes Sir." She walks off.
"Daniela?" I call over to her from where I look out the window down to Endor.
"Yeah Ben?" She stands next to me.
"Decode any more messages."
"No not since last time you asked, but do you mind helping me with this one, I think it's a new code."
"Sure." I begin walking away with her. "Admiral Ackbar?"
"Yes sir?" He calls out.
"Update me on the pilots in five minutes on their progress."
"Yes sir." He walks over to the communication station where Samaya is talking to Poe.
Rey's POV
The sound of battle begins rageing above us as Tie Fighters enter the battle.
"Take cover!" Finn yells as I look up to see a Tie Fighters hurling towards us.
I attempt to try and force push the Tie Fighters a different direction, but fail.
"Reeeeeeeeeeyyyyy!" Finn screams at me.
I'm sorry Ben.
I throw my arms over my head and I'm suddenly rammed into and hit the ground a few feet back.
Firey bits and pieces of the ship fly over me and I freeze the door in mid air from landing on us.
Rey?! Rey are you okay?!
Yeah, almost got hit by a downed tie fighter.
I throw the door to the side and see Sassy laying next to me.
"Next time use your legs to move your ass." Sassy sneers at me.
"Thank you." I tell her.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's move."
I stand and help her up. We brush the dirt off as Finn comes racing over.
"Rey, are you okay?" He embraces me.
"Yeah I'm fine." Sassy glares at him.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Sassy saved me."
"Are you hurt?" Finn asks as Sassy stomps off.
"No, I think I'm good."
"If you're good let's move!" Sassy orders.
"I thought you and Emi were in charge." Finn mumbles.
"Says the guy who ordered us moments ago!" Sassy yells at Finn.
"I yelled a warning." Finn snaps at her.
"Take cover, was an order." Sassy crosses her arm.
An ewok comes between them even though they're a couple feet apart and starts talking.
"He's right." Emi speaks up. "Save your aggression and take it out on the stormtroopers.
"Finn let it go." Caiti tells him and rests a hand on his shoulder. I walk pass them.
"Ben to Rey, Ben to Rey. Copy?"
"Copy. Over."
"We need you to move closer towards the main battle. Poe and his team are trying to take them out away from our people. Over."
"Copy that. We turned left at the great fallen tree. It's a couple hundred yards behind us. I thought we were supposed to be in the front line? Over."
"Yeah, we miscalculated where to drop you and the First Order changed their drop zones. Over."
"So what are our orders? Over."
"Contuine ahead. You should come up slightly behind the First Order's front line. You'll attack from the side. Beware of people attempting to go around to attack from behind. Over."
"Copy that. Over and out."
"Rey?"
"Ben."
"May the force be with you."
Ben's POV
My mother enters the control room and motions me over. I walk over to her. "Why is Johanna's ship still in the hangar?"
"We haven't had any contact from them. Last we heard was that they dropped off Rey's team."
"I have a bad feeling about this." Leia says and turns away.
"Ben Sir." Admiral Ackbar addresses me.
"Yes Admiral."
"We just got a report of additional ships landing and air reinforcements."
"Alert Poe of the reinforcements and slow the advances."
He nods and walks off.
"Ben, come here!" Daniela shouts over to me. I quickly walk to her. "I just decoded this message. Read it." She tells me with a serious voice that concerns me.
I look at the message, then mess with the buttons to translate it.
'Captain Phasma's ship has been downed. Sending a team to the estimated wreckage site.'
My eyes widen and my hand covers my mouth. Daniela sees my face and calls out. "General Organa, Admiral Ackbar."
They both come rushing over.
"Ben are you okay?" My mother asks. I stare at the screen. She turns her glaze towards it and gasps.
Admiral Ackbar announces. "It's a trap!"
