Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Two Jedi. Enjoy the 1100-word chapter. I don't own Star Wars, Disney and Luca Arts does.
(Outer Rim,Starkiller Base)
Lannic trekked through the snow towards the doors, the snow kept him alert but did nothing to dull his senses as he punched in a security code and entered.
"Finn and Han can handle the shields, any officer on Starkiller base should have the ability to disarm those shields… Finding Rey is my first priority… I sense she is close… Maybe that's why Maz said she was important."
Lannic mused to himself as he entered a turbolift and punched in the coordinates for the hanger bay, Lannic guessed that Rey had managed to free herself and was trying to acquire a TIE Fighter to escape the base.
"She is very strong in the force…. I didn't think she'd be this powerful… Maz will have answers when I'm done here…."
Lannic said as the Turbolift reached the lower level and Lannic stepped off it, he resisted the urge to shoot and kill the 2 Stormtroopers walking as he turned on his comlink and contacted Finn.
"Finn, I've nearly found Rey, you got the shields down? We aren't going to have another shot at destroying the Starkiller if we Kriff this up."
Lannic said as he turned a corner and looked down, his eyes widened as he spotted Rey on the other side of the hanger, a F-11 blaster rifle on her back as she climbed.
"We've…. Got a volunteer to lower the shields, ill contact you when it's done, Lannic."
Finn said as Lannic cut the connection and cursed, he could try and call out to Rey but he'd alert the Stormtroopers, he also cursed the fact that he had nothing to silence his blaster.
"Damn it, I'm going to have to get to her without alerting the base…"
Lannic said as he turned and sped down a corner before turning it to see a squad of Stormtroopers running down the hallway as Lannic cursed and pulled his SE-44 off his belt and crept around the corner.
"Halt, intruder, get back to your Cell!"
The Stormtrooper sergeant in charge of the squad hissed as the four Stormtroopers brought up their F-11s.
"Funny, I should be telling you the same thing."
Lannic said as Rey climbed over the edge, he fired and hit two of the Stormtroopers as they turned, Lannic heard another crash to the grand as Lannic stepped out of cover and shot the Stormtrooper in the chest.
"Lannic?"
Rey asked as she stepped over the Stormtroopers, Lannic smiled before Rey tossed the F-11 to the side and ran towards Lannic, before Lannic could even react she hugged him tightly as Lannic blinked.
"I… Didn't think… You missed me… That much… Sand girl…"
Lannic wheezed before he returned the hug, he smiled at the scavenger as she picked her rifle back up.
"Han, Chewbacca and Finn brought me here, their bringing the Resistance to blow this place to hell… I came to get you before we do that."
Lannic said, rubbing the back of his head as he did so, Rey smiled before Lannic's comlink buzzed to life.
"Lannic, we've lowered the shields but I think we might have…. Gotten attention, we're outside, where are you guys?"
Finn asked as Lannic was about to respond before the alarms buzzed and Lannic turned to Rey.
"If I grab your hand, you going to yell at me for it, sand girl?"
Lannic asked as Rey was about to respond when Lannic grabbed her hand and pulled her into a turbolift and punched the surface key as a Squad of Stormtroopers ran around the corner, both teens blushed and leaned against the door to catch their breath.
"You always attract this much trouble?"
Lannic asked as he leaned against the lift wall, Rey turned to face him, a smirk on his face.
"Oh, I'm sorry, how's the flying lessons coming without me?"
Rey bit back as Lannic smirked as the lift reached the top.
"Missed you too, Rey."
Lannic said as the lift doors opened and the two were blasted with snow, forcing them to cover their faces.
"Ugh, how to Stormtroopers live here?!"
Rey hissed as Lannic shrugged, Lannic heard engines flare as he looked up to see 24 T-70 X-wings fly overhead as Finn, Han and Chewbacca stomped through the snow towards them.
"Looks like you found her, kid… How you holding up so far?"
Han said as Lannic dusted himself off before answering.
"Fine…. But we can't leave yet, Han… This weapon will wipe out the entire Resistance if we don't stop it and we didn't come here just to-…"
Lannic said as Han held up his hand before speaking.
"Kid, I didn't say we were leaving yet, that blast took out an entire system, we aren't going to let them wipe out the rest of the Resistance…. Chewie's got a bag of explosives… Let's use them."
Han said as Lannic nodded, Finn spoke up at this as Lannic cursed at another blast of freezing cold air.
"We have to get inside the oscillator… Explosives are only going to do maximum damage inside…. They learned from the Death Star."
Finn said as the quartet of heroes made their way to the Oscillator's security door.
"Don't suppose you happen to know how to get into the Oscillator?"
Han asked as Finn tried a code only for the panel to shock him and knock him back into the snow.
"Guess they changed the codes, anyone ever slice a high security door?"
Lannic asked as Han and Rey stepped up.
"Kid, I've sliced everything from credit machines to data consoles…. What about you, Rey?"
Han asked as Rey spoke up as they removed the panel and began to work with the wires.
"I've had to slice into Destroyers and Rebel ships on Jakku…. Just give me a few minutes."
Rey said as Lannic and Finn looked up to see X-Wings battling First Order TIEs.
"They're not even scratching the armor on the Oscillator… We're going to have to blow a hole into the Oscillator… Unless you got enough bombs to blow the entire Oscillator up?"
Lannic asked as Han sparked two wires together and the door opened as Lannic and Finn swept the door with their blasters.
"Lannic, take 8 and spread them out… Rey, same with you… Finn… You're with us."
Han said as he led Finn away as Rey turned to Lannic.
"You know how to use these?"
Rey said as Lannic gave a so, so gesture.
Author Notes
