This is going to be a little sneak peek for the Rogue One/A New Hope adaptation while the movie is still fresh in my mind. If you haven't read my Eons series some of the things mentioned may not make sense to you. I recommend you read that if you like this!
Cassian's legs would take him no further as he dropped onto the sandy beach. The horizon of Scarif was filled with the bright beauty of annihilation, and it would only be a matter of time until it took them.
Jyn fell to her knees beside him. All he could do was look at her in the illumination of the bright light. She was the first person to ever inspire him to fight for something that he believed in. Her courage, undying commitment to her father and overall persona was something he had never found in anyone before.
It wasn't love, at least not yet, but he would've loved to serve at her side for the rest of his days. He placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Your father would be proud of you," was all he could say. She looked at him and nodded with a smile on her face. He could tell she didn't want to die, but knew that she had done all she could for the galaxy.
He embraced her, and she hugged him back. Their time had come, and he was ready to accept that.
Jyn looked out into the oncoming bright light from the sea as Cassian hugged her. All these years of pain may finally come to an end, and she would know that she gave the galaxy a chance to be free from the Empire. A chance was all she needed.
She closed her eyes. She was ready.
However…among the growing sound of Death itself…she picked out the sound of a spacecraft hovering over where they knelt. She turned her head to see a gunship open its loading doors, and a masked figure stood at the edge. They were both suddenly swept up by was seemed like invisible hands and began to quickly float towards the figure, who had his hands outstretched. Time almost slowed down for her as she and Cassian were flying through the air and into the gunship, where they dropped at the feet of the masked figure.
The loading doors shut and he yelled, prompting the ship to accelerate extremely quickly. Jyn could barely process what was going on, but there was no mistake…the one who saved them was a Jedi. Soon she was being tended to by masked soldiers, almost like Stormtroopers. She was far too weak to fight, but they did nothing but tend to her wounds so she did not resist.
Another figure entered the hold from the cockpit area, this one female. "Are they ok?" she heard her say.
"They're stable. Captain Andor needs attention, but the other should be alright," one of the soldiers informed her.
How did they know his name? Jyn asked herself. They must be friends of the Rebellion, because Jedi were no friends of the Empire.
She looked over to see Cassian come to his senses. His face was quickly hit with shock. "General Tano!" Jyn suddenly remembered that name. The Togruta from the briefing before their attack on Scarif was Ahsoka Tano, the leader of the Rebellion. She remembered how she insisted that help would come from the Revanite forces.
Cassian grunted. "How did you know where to find us?"
"We're Jedi," Ahsoka replied. "We sensed you and your squad were in trouble so we came as fast as we could. Eon brought the Revanite forces just in time to save the fleet. As soon as we heard you had gone for the plans we came to extract you."
The ship rocked as they broke atmosphere and escaped the blast from the Death Star. Jyn looked up to see the masked figure kneel next to her. "Erso…correct?" he asked in a voice that was laced with a digital tone.
Jyn nodded. "Yes…yes I'm Jyn Erso."
The Jedi then deactivated his masked and pulled his hood back to reveal the face of a Zabrak. "I'm Xur Eon, Supreme Commander of the New Order of Revan, and I need you to tell me what happened to Saw Guerra."
That's all I will tease for now. I may change some of it when I make the official story, but this is a little taste! If you enjoyed please consider my Eons series and fav this for more! Thanks for reading!
