REY
"Are you joking?" Poe asked Rey, as she pointed out the freighter on the other side of the bay. It really was in bad shape, and so much smaller than the Falcon. Poe could not see how this would work.
"And what about the owner? Is he the pilot? How can we trust him?"
Rey put her hand on Poe's shoulder.
"Relax," she reassured him. "I used the force to convince him to lend us his freighter. He's not coming with us. He knows nothing."
"What's the catch?" Asked Finn.
"I said we'd settle his bay fee's for him. He's overdue."
Poe and Finn started at Rey in disbelief. They were the leftovers if the resistance, they had one crumbling ship and no money. Just as Poe was about to ask Rey for more information, one of the guards came into the hangar. He ran up to Poe.
"First Order ships have been detected approaching the planet, Commander. They've found us."
The trio burst into action. "Looks like the freighter will have to do," Poe decided. He rounded up the remaining resistance fighters and they boarded the ship. The freight owner watched in a daze, as resistance fighters loaded up what supplies they could and readied themselves to leave. Finn escorted Rose, able to walk but still fragile, and Leia to the new transport. They boarded, and Rey stood on the platform. Finn turned to help her on board, but she took a step back.
"Rey. Rey don't do this," he pleaded. "You have the perfect chance to escape. You don't have to stay here." Rey shook her head.
"Someone had to distract them, Finn, so you can get away. If I take the Falcon, I can lead them away and you can slip away before it's too late. Get to a new base, rebuild the rebellion. I will find you there."
"Rey! Are you crazy? We just got you back! You are the hope, you are the spark we need. We can't lose you to some crazy plan. Please, just… just get on the ship Rey." Finn couldn't let Rey stay behind. But she wouldn't board. She gave the signal to the pilot to leave, they started the engines and the boarding ramp drew to close. Rey called to out to Finn.
"I will find you! I promise!" The small freighter bobbed as it rose out of the bay, and with surprising speed flew out and away from the planet. Rey turned to board the Falcon, to be met with Chewbacca. Her faithful friend, he gnarled at her in Shyriiwook.
"Of course," Rey smiled. "I should have known you wouldn't leave me alone."
KYLO REN
Kylo Ren approached Rendor. He sensed a small ship leaving the planet's atmosphere, he could swear he felt his mother's presence on board. Momentarily confused, he almost followed it, when he felt a familiar presence. Rey wasn't with his mother. She on the planet, sat in the Millennium Falcon. Shaking the feeling, he resumed his focus on Rey. He headed for the surface. The Stormtrooper transports had landed just ahead of him. They were already interrogating every individual in the landing bay. Kylo scanned the ships but he could not see the Falcon, yet he knew Rey was here. Her presence was so close to him, he attempted to reach her through the force. His focus was immediately drawn to a hangar, set back from the main landing bay.
"I told you I would find you." Kylo whispered. He sensed a shudder and felt the adrenaline in Rey as she fired up to escape. Suddenly, the doors to the hangar burst open and the Falcon flew out. It dipped and swooped, firing onto the First Order ships and taking out squads of Stormtroopers. Kylo Ren, taken off guard for a rare moment, rushed back to his ship, screaming in frustration. "DO NOT LET THAT SHIP GET AWAY!"
He jumped into the cock pit, firing up his engines, but he felt his ship take a blow and the engine sputter and powered down. The craft, sparking and smoking, had taken a serious hit. Kylo tried again to take off but found he couldn't. The Millennium Falcon has damaged Kylo's engine. He could do nothing but watch as his father's old ship left the atmosphere. Full of red hot anger he disembarked his ship and made for one of the landing crafts used to transport Stormtroopers. As he entered the cockpit the radio cackled to life.
"General Hux with message for Kylo Ren, over." Kylo snatched the receiver.
"This is the Supreme Leader. What is it Hux?" Kylo snarled.
"Supreme Leader, we encountered the Millennium Falcon attempting to leave the planet. We have it in our grasp." Came Hux's gleeful reply. Kylo couldn't wait to wipe the whatever smug grin Hux had on his face off it. The pilot of the Stormtrooper transport quickly engaged the engine and took off for the Star Destroyer.
