Precious

Yerha's POV
"I don't care how you do it. I want to break him."

"He would have to go through pain and you would have to pull images of the target from his memory to make them seem like a threat." The new medic droid replies.

"Pull images, while putting him through pain?" I ask.

"Yes, we could administer electric currents."

There's a sudden knock on the door and I use the force to open it. "What?"

"Sensors have been set off in cell block C." An officer says.

I smirk and rise from my chair. "Run this by a human doctor and have them write up a summary on this method."

Poe's POV
We clear the jump through lightspeed just in time.

"Get me a report on what resources we have left Connix."

"Yes General." She turns away from me.

"Where's Captain Phasma?" I ask a nearby officer.

"Her whereabouts are unknown."

"What about Johanna?"

"Likewise sir."

"I want to know where they are stat." I walk away from the bridge to find Finn and Rose.

"Poe!" Alexa comes up behind me. "Chewbacca is looking for you."

"What's up?" I ask her.

"Something about Leia."

Rey's POV
I disarm a stormtrooper and search his mind for Ben.

He hasn't seen Ben, because Ben hasn't came through here.

It clicks that Yerha is on to me.

"Where there's a Ben, there's a Rey." Her words echo inside my head.

"Fuck." I hiss and begin running.

The room suddenly lights up in red as alarms go off and the door in front of me locks.

I run back to the ventilation I had exited minutes ago and recrawl inside.

"She's in the ventilation system. Find her!" A robotic voice orders.

Yerha's POV

"She's gone back into hiding in the vents." An officer tells me. 

"Let's turn up the heat then." I say and turn my back to leave. 

"Another thing." I stop and reface him. "The Resistance has destroyed our dreadnaught." 

"Continue tracking them. They can run, but they can't hide." I exit the bridge and make my way back to the medical bay.  "Has he fallen asleep yet?"

"No, he appears to have been meditating for the past hour." The nurse informs me. 

I scoff, mediation won't free him from this. 

The heat kicks in and I remove my cape, stepping into his room. "Well, well." I lean against the wall. 

"What do you want?" Ben replies without opening his eyes. 

"It's pretty simple actually. You."

His eyes open and glance at me. "I'm married. " He looks away.

"Oh congratulations. I didn't know."

"Good."

"Any more kids?" I smirk.  Ben lifts his hand and I'm lifted into the air with a fist around my neck. "Whatever you do to me, they'll do to Rey." He immediately drops me and I smile at the floor on which I kneel. 

"You don't have her."

"Then why would you let me go?" I raise to my feet. 

"Why would you want me?" He counters. 

"You could teach me new powers like you did with her."

"I will never help you." He swings his legs to the side of the bed and I face his back. 

"Well then you would just make some gorgeous eye candy." I smile and press a button on the wall, releasing the needle with the knock out medicine. 

"I'm going to escape one day, just you wait until you get the news." 

I stab him blindly in the back of his arm, piercing through his shirt. "Just you wait until I capture your precious wife." He then slums back into my arms a moment later. 

"Droid!" I shout and a medical droid comes in. "Take this man to the electric chair." I push him onto the bed and leave. 

Poe's POV

 "Any word from the Outer Rim?" I ask. 

"None General. Our message has been received." Officer Stiles replies. 

"How long do we have on fuel reserves?" Johanna asks stepping to my side.

"Not long, a day maybe." Someone says. 

"Where have you been?" I ask her and Phasma. 

"Busy." Phasma smiles and glances at Johanna. 

"Okay, well we need a plan and fast."

"You tried reaching out?" Phasma asks. 

"Yeah no response." 

"Send a distress signal. Someone will hear it." Officer Connix tells us.

"Doesn't mean someone will come." Phasma says. 

"Well try it." I say and nod to Connix to send the signal.

"What if no one comes?" Vic asks and I begin to realize all of the worried people who have come to the bridge for answers. 

"Well we would have fought until the end." I look at all my friends' faces. We had been in similar situations before. Every time we went to battle not knowing who would could back alive. We will fight until the galaxy has lost all hope. Until the spark is out."

There's an awkward silence as my words seem almost promising of death. 

"Come on." Finn speaks up. "We have allies. People believe in us. They will get our message and distress signal and come, but we have to hold on." He steps forward to be by my side. "We are the spark."

"And we're going to burn the First Order down."

The tension in the room is eased and I can feel the hopes of survival rising.

"Someone get a list of the nearest planets and a brief summary on each." Phasma speaks up drawing our attention to her. "If we can sneak down and break off into groups they'll have a less chance of finding us all. We can split up and regroup later." She walks over to a screen and pulls up the next planet. "How many of us are left?" 

"Are here." I correct her, but I can feel the light dim within the room. 

"200." Connix informs us. "We have 4 escape pods, 10  shuttles, 5 X-Wings, 4 bombers, 5 A-Wings, Black One, and the Falcon."

"Do shuttles have cloaking?" 

"Yes, that's perfect!" I say. "Connix you get the list and I'll update you on the plan later." I scan the crowd briefly. "Finn, Rose, Phasma, Johanna, and Alexa, come with me." 

Chewbacca comes into the room and roughly pushes through the crowd.

"What is it?" I ask him, but he just grunts with anger and lifts me over his shoulder. "Chewie!" I shout.

"You heard him, follow him." Connix shouts and they begin trailing behind us.

Rey's POV

The vents begin getting warmer to the point it's hot to touch. I ignite the saber and break through the vents, landing roughly, but luckily into an empty apartment. There's signs that this residence is usually occupied, judging by the dirty dishes and pile of laundry. 

I check the time and quickly head into the bathroom to shower. I examine my hands stinging with red while the cold water rinses the sweat from my body. 

I hear something and sense someone has entered the apartment. I turn off the water and grab a towel. 

A helmetless woman rounds the corner and try to use the towel to cover myself. 

"Hands up!" She raises her blaster. 

"You will drop your blaster." I say using the force. 

"I will what?" She looks at her blaster then shakes her head. "No I will-"

"You will drop your blaster." I say more focused. 

"I will drop my blaster." And it clacks to the floor. "And you will get dressed for bed."

"I will get dressed for bed." She walks out the room while slowly beginning to strip from her stormtrooper uniform. 

I dry myself off for the most part and begin picking up parts of her uniform. The black suit clings to my damp skin but thankfully is only a little bit on me. The shoes on the other hand are obviously big. I know I won't be able to run in them if needed, which most likely will be needed. 

The lady is dressed for bed and turns back to look at me for further directions. 

I survey the area for anything where I can trap her, but I know she will be able to tell of her encounter with me. 

I retrieve the blaster and put it in her arms. "You will kill yourself once I leave this room."

"I will kill myself once you leave this room." She stands ready with the blaster pointed to blast through her chin and brain, almost like she has thought about the best way to kill herself. 

"I'm sorry." I tell her and put my hair into a low bun at the base of my neck. "Sweet dreams." I say and place the helmet on that was left by the door. 

A/N: Chapter dedicated to @WhiteQueen1213 . Thank you for giving me some much needed motivation to finish this chapter. 

What do you all think of Rey having that women kill herself? Too dark, expected?

Thoughts on Yerha planning on using an electric chair on Ben?
