"We are back and the plan is about to commence and Poe needs to find a way to buy Rose and Finn more time by any means possible and Kylo Ren is reaching his boiling point lets kick this chapter off!"
Chapter 36: Plan Of Action
Kylo Ren was in his quarters sitting in the middle of the room meditation and he could hear the screams of Evelyn echo through his mind, he could hear The Resistance in fear and he could feel the anger of Rey as she fought againts Luke Skywalker but he couldnt see the outcomes of these events as his mind was blocked he felt...lost something he never thought he would feel.
"Sir" Kylo Ren looked up and saw Captain Phasma standing at the entrance of his quarters.
"Supreme Leader Snoke wishes to see you" Phasma stated.
Kylo Ren nodded "I will see to it, I want you to get into contact with Bala and see if he's made any progress".
"Yes Sir" Captain Phasma turned and left and Kylo Ren got up and went to a nearby desk and picked up his helmet and put it on and marched out of his room to meet with the Supreme Leader.
Kylo marched through the halls of the Star Destroyer and soon he came to the elevator leading up to The Supreme Leaders throne room and his mind raced with what questions The Supreme Leader would ask and the journey up felt like it was taking hours but soon the elevator doors opened and Kylo Ren saw Supreme Leader Snoke in the distance at his throne and Kylo Ren took a deep breath and marched deeper into the throne room and soon he came to the middle of the room and knelt down.
"You think why I keep a rabid cur..such a place of power occurs weakness properly manipulated can be a sharp tool.." Snoke looked on at Kylo Ren as he was still kneeling with his head lowered.
"How's your wound?" Snoke asked.
Kylo Ren was silent for a few seconds "Its nothing".
Snoke smirked "You have strength in your anger I feel it echo of you..".
He then stood up from his throne and slowly approached Kylo Ren "The mighty Kylo Ren when I found you I saw what masters live to see..raw untamed..power and beyond that something truly special".
Snoke finally was at arms reach of Kylo Ren "The potential of your bloodline...a new Vader..but now I fear I was mistaken..".
Kylo Ren looked up at his Master "I've given everything I have to you, to the Darkside".
Snoke just looked at Kylo Ren with a frown "Take that mask off".
Kylo Ren hesitated and finally brought his hands to his mask and slowly removed his helmet revealing the healed scar on his cheek.
"There it is, you have too much of your father's heart in you..Han Solo" Snoke stated.
"I killed Han Solo, when the time came I didnt hesitate" Kylo Ren quickly responded.
Snoke turned and walked away and then finally turned back to his apprentice "Look at you the deed split your spirit to the bone you are unbalanced! bested by a girl who never held a lightsaber!".
Kylo Ren's anger came to the surface and he went to attack but Snoke quickly used a lightning attack and knocked Kylo Ren back to the floor a few meters away and Kylo Ren grunted as he hit the floor hard.
"Skywalker lives! The seed of the Jedi Order lives and as long as it does hope lives in the galaxy. I thought you would be the one to snuff it out..not only that but your connection to that girl has cost us more then we feared!" Snoke's voice echoed through the throne room.
Kylo Ren quickly got up "Rey is nothing she is broken!".
Snoke gritted his teeth "I'm talking about the other girl!, the one you took pity on in that forest!".
Kylo Ren's realisation on Snoke statement hit him hard and Snoke turned and returned to his throne and soon he sat back down and looked at his apprentice.
"That girl was part of your childhood and cause of it you decided to reveal her true nature to her, removed the chains in her mind and because of your weakness a new power will rise...far greater then even that of those of the Jedi of old" Snoke stated in a calmer tone.
Kylo Ren took a few steps forward and Snokes guards readied their weapons and Snoke raised his hands to stop them and his guards lowered their weapons.
"She is no longer a problem, she has been captured and my troops are torturing her as we speak and I'm sure you know that her mission involves Coruscant there is something there that she believes will turn the tide I intend to get that information and use what ever she was sent to get and I will turn it on The Resistance myself". Kylo Ren argued.
Snoke just looked at Kylo Ren and the intense stare they shared spoke volumes one of anger and determination and soon Snoke turned to his arm chair and activated a switch and a panel opened and inside was a new lightsaber and Snoke used the Force and threw it at Kylo Ren and he caught it with ease.
Kylo Ren looked at the lightsaber and it was the same one he lost in the forest and it was restored to its former glory.
"I carry disappointment my apprentice, however I feel the anger..the determination in you" Snokoe stated and Kylo Ren looked up at Snoke .
"Do not fail me...again" Snoke warned and he used the Force and picked up Kylo Ren's helmet and threw it at Kylo Ren and he caught it.
"Kill Ben Solo, Be Kylo Ren" Snoke said in a calm tone and Kylo Ren placed his restored lightsaber on his belt and then placed his helmet back on his head and turned away determined to become the person he was meant to be.
In the distance of Snoke's Star Destroyer Finn, Rose and The Codebreaker's ship finally left lightspeed and were inbound for the massive Star Destroyer ready to give The Resistance a chance to escape.
"Cloaking our approach we should be off their scopes" The Codebreaker was working on a keypad with one hand at lightning speed "then we slice a slit in their shields pip balmily bop and slip right through".
The Code Breaker then pulled out a key from his pocket and placed it in the console of the ship and their ship headed straight for the Star Destroyer and found an opening into the lower parts of the ship.
"Are you sure this is gonna work?" Finn turned his head to The Codebreaker.
"Relax Finn, only one way to find out" The Code Breaker chuckled.
"If we die I'm gonna kill you" Rose stated as she looked on as they entered the ship.
The Codebreaker frowned "How will you kill me if we are already ?".
Rose was about to speak but Finn brought his hand out stopping her from responding and The Code Breaker laughed "I like you Rose".
Back at The Resistance Cruiser Holdo's plan to evacuate everyone in shuttles was going ahead and Poe looked on in the hanger and he did not like this one bit as if either one of those shuttles left it was be destroyed before they even got a good distance away and he turned and saw Holdo with the Commanders overlooking the evacuation.
"This is a mistake" Poe turned and saw Connix next to him looking at the transports being prepped.
"I know we cant let this happen" Poe responded.
Connix crossed her arms and looked at Poe "You think this plan of yours will work?".
Poe frowned at Connix "How do you know about that?".
Connix smiled "I'm good at my job remember".
Poe chuckled and he looked at Holdo speaking to the Commanders "We have to stop her".
Connix frowned "How? they wont listen to you".
Poe looked back at Connix "I don't plan on being nice".
Connix's eyes widened "Are you planning to?..".
He nodded at her "If it saves the fleet I'm willing to take responsibility for it".
"Not alone" Poe heard a voice from behind him and he saw five X-Wing fighters looking at him.
"What ever you are doing Poe, we are with you" One of the fighters stated and Poe smiled and he looked back at Holdo and then back at Connix "Wait for my signal".
"Be careful" Connix placed her hand on his arm and soon he walked over to Holdo.
"Holdo we need to talk" Poe marched up to her.
She turned and looked at him "Not now we need to put this plan to action we need to get everyone away from here".
Poe saw her about to walk away "What if I told you there was another plan".
Holdo stopped in her tracks and turned with a frown "What are you talking about".
"You heard of Finn right the Strom Tropper that defected to our side?, turns out he and Rose has found a weakness in Snoke's Star Destroyer". Poe stated and Holdo came up to Poe as he spoke on.
"I received a message from Finn saying they got a CodeBreaker who can get them into that ship and on that ship there is a tracker which is keeping us on their radar they are heading over there as we speak, if they can disable that tracker even for a few minutes it will give us a chance to jump to lightspeed and they wont be able to track us" Poe laid all the information out to her and she was just shocked.
"Wait a Storm Trooper and a who now are doing what?" Holdo couldn't believe what she heard.
Poe sighed "They are trying to save us this is our best chance for escape you have to give Finn and Rose all the time you can give".
Holdo was angry with what Poe was suggesting "You have bet the survival of the Resistance on bad odds and put us all at risk".
She slowly shook her head in disappointment "There's no time now we have to get clear of this ship".
"Load the transports!" Holdo gave the order and walked past Poe to the Commanders.
Poe looked at his group and nodded "Yeah I was afraid you say that".
He then turned with his weapon drawn and Connix and the other fighters stood next to him with their own weapons aiming at Holdo and the commanders and Holdo turned and so did the Commanders as they heard the weapons activate.
"Admiral Holdo I am relieving you of your command for the survival of this ship its crew and The Resistance" Poe stated and they saw more fighters around them look at the scene and surprisingly they all drew their weapons at Holdo as they too knew that Holdo's plan as suicide.
Holdo looked around and saw she was surrounded and she knew she lost this battle and she looked right at Poe "I hope you understand what you are doing".
Poe put his weapon away and looked at his group "I'm going to the brige if they move stun them".
Poe walked right past Holdo and the other Commanders and headed straight to the bridge and Connix followed.
Back on Snoke's ship Finn, Rose and The CodeBreaker managed to get some First Order Officer gear and managed to find a shell of a droid for BB8 to follow them in and they casually made their way through the halls of the Star Destroyer with Finn taking the lead and soon he recognised the door ahead and he quickly ran to it with Rose, Code Breaker and BB8 rushing as well.
"This is it" Finn finally came to the door "The tracker is right behind this door".
The Code Breaker came to the panel next to the door and began removing the plate and he saw alot of wires and he pulled out Rose's medallion and used to pointed edge and placed it into a circuit and sparks flew over the place and then another hatch opened.
Rose watched on and then The Codebreaker turned to her "The material on this amulet, best conductor" He smiled and handed it back to her and Rose looked at it and slowly took it back and Finn gave a small smile seeing Rose have back the one thing that mattered to her.
Rose looked at her medallion and she looked up at The Codebreaker and slowly nodded and The Codebreaker went back to work "Your welcome".
Rose then turned to Finn "Do you have a plan to get back to the fleet?".
Finn looked down the hall "I know where the nearest escape pods are".
Rose chuckled "Of course you do".
B88 let out a few beeps and it caught Rose and Finn's attention.
"BB8 tell me something good" Poe's voice echoed on a radio and BB8 popped it out of him and Finn caught the radio.
"Poe we're almost there have the cruiser ready for lightspeed" Finn ordered.
"Yeah I'm on it pal just hurry" Poe responded as he marched down the halls with a few fighters behind him and he headed to the bridge.
Poe finally came to the door of the bridge and entered and he saw the bridge full of officers "Clear the bridge and escort them to the hanger". he ordered his group as he headed for the main controls and C3PO was next to it and Poe sat on the chair and took control of the bridge.
"Uh Sir I am almost afriad to ask" C3PO stated.
"Good instinct 3PO stay with that" Poe responded and soon disabled the hanger preventing any transports from leaving and Holdo saw that what Poe doing was dangerous so she took a chance and kicked a valve pipe on the floor and steam covered her and the Commanders and she and the Commanders pulled out their stun guns and opened fire at the Fighters involved with the mutiny.
Poe saw the chaos now happening on the security footage and he turned to Connix and pointed at the door "Seal the door!".
Connix ran to the door controls and sealed the door and Poe saw C3PO walking away "3P0 where do you think your going?".
C3P0 turned back to Poe "It would be quite against my programming to be party to a mutiny" He turned back to a nearby door.
"Hey!" Poe shouted and the droid turned to him and responded "It is not correct protocol".
All of a sudden the door started sparking and C3P0 gasped and jumped back and Poe knew they were in trouble so he called his friend on the radio "Finn! We are ready to jump!".
Finn heard the call and turned to The Codebreaker "Its now or never".
The Codebreaker looked right at Finn and after a few seconds he responded "Now" then the door to the tracker opened.
Finn looked at Rose "Your up".
Rose nodded and the three entered the tracker room while back on The Resistance cruiser the door to the bridge was blasted open and Poe took cover behind the bridge seat with his weapon drawn and he waited for someone to come out from the smoke.
Finn, Rose and The Codebreaker rushed to the tracker but as soon as they got into the middle of the room a few storm troopers came from behind corners with their weapons drawn and thats when they knew they were waiting for them.
"Hands up on the ground!" A Storm Trooper ordered.
Poe could hear Storm Trooper chatter on the radio and he was now worried that the plan was now ruined.
Finn and Rose watched as the troops surrounded them and The Codebreaker was forced to the ground and thats when Finn heard heavy steps and he turned to the entrance they came from and thats when he saw the one person he though he would never see again approaching them.
"FN2187, so good to have you back" Captain Phasma mocked as she looked at her former soldier and Finn just looked at his enemy knowing he failed Rose and The Resistance.
Poe heard the whole thing on the radio and he let his guard down "They didn't make it..".
He then heard footsteps coming from the smoke and he went on alert and was ready to defend himself and as he waited for an attack his eyes then widened when he saw who was coming from the smoke.
General Leia was walking into the bridge still in her medical gown and bandaged up and she looked right at Poe as she entered the bridge.
"Leia.." Poe lowered his weapon but Leia didnt say anything and in a split second she pulled her other hand from behind her and shot Poe with a stun gun and he sent into a wall and fell to the floor in seconds and all Connix and C3P0 could do was raise their hands to surrender.
"Things are not looking to good for The Resistance...will they be able to escape? Will Hope be on their side in the upcoming battles to come? We will find out soon enough :) hope you enjoyed this chapter and are looking forward to the next one!
