Everyone watched as 2 AT-ATs began approaching. Unsure as to what to do, and with no weapons to take them out the realisation that they need back up became strong.
"We need to get some backup" Rey says "We need to find a way to contact General Leia."
"How?" Finn asks taking out a stormtrooper "We can't get back to the Falcon. We wont make it!"
"If only there was another way" Ben grunts as he fights off 2 stormtroopers
"Maybe there is" Reyna replies
"How?" Rey asks
"Someone NEEDS to get back to the ship! It's the only way." Ben says
"I will go." Reyna replies quickly "I will need you guys to cover me."
"Don't worry." Ben says calmly "You call for reinforcements, we will hold them off as best we can."
Ben, Rey, Finn, and Chewbacca run toward the stormtroopers swarming the area, taking the troops out as quickly and effectively as possible. Reyna quickly manages to get back to the ship having to take out a couple of stormtroopers on the way. Knowing there's troops nearby, Reyna knew she had to be quiet. Reyna quickly and quietly gets to the front of the ship, where communications are kept. She grabs the headset and puts it on. Reyna must try contact the base, and get help.
"It's Reyna! We need backup at our location immediately." Reyna says frantically "Our co-ordinates are being sent over now."
"Reyna?!" Poe's voice is heard through the headset "What's happened?"
"Poe!" Reyna sighs with relief "I'm glad to hear your voice. It's General Hux, he's here, and there are too many of them, we can't hold them off much longer! They've even brought and AT-AT and we have nothing to destroy it."
"Don't worry." Poe reassures Reyna "We are coming over to your location to help ASAP. Keep fighting, and hold them off as best as you can, we will be there soon."
General Hux sits up in the AT-AT laughing to himself. "They can't escape now, they're done. The resistance is over. The First Order will rise, and those who oppose us shall pay the price."
Smiling proudly Hux says "Prepare to fire."
Back on the ground, Reyna began to join the fight and is getting impatient. Where was Poe? Everyone seems to start becoming less motivated, no one knew how long it would take for help to arrive. Sure enough, there came the sound of voices and the engine of ships flying toward the battle. Ben looked up to see X-Wings flying overhead, firing at any enemies they see. The Resistance troops come running toward them, firing weapons and killing many stormtroopers. With a boost of morale, everyone begins fighting on. Soon enough, General Hux realised he wasn't winning the battle when he realised the Resistance had a weapon that could take out the AT-AT he sat in. General Hux very quickly called a retreat back to the Starkiller Base.
With a sigh of relief, Reyna slumps against a tree.
"You did it" Ben smiles approaching her
"I'm glad it did." Reyna sighs "I got worried something happened to them if I'm honest."
"I think we all did for a moment." Ben says softly "We didn't know how long it would take them; Nor if they were attacked on the way or not."
"At least now we know now that they got here." Rey replies "I think we have a lot to work on before we face Hux again. This proves hes more skilled than we realised and he's relentless.
"Time to up our game!" Finn smirks
"Agreed." says Reyna "It's time to bring the First Order to its knees."
"We will be the spark that lights the fire that will burn the First Order to the ground." Poe chants appearing seemingly out of nowhere
Everyone arrives back at base to regroup and relax. It's been an interesting day, and a very tiring one. Plans of how to prepare for Hux can wait until morning. For now, the resistance crew retreat to their quarters for the night and get some well needed rest.
