The Millennium Falcon travels some distance before it's intercepted by a large freighter. The Falcon is caught in a tractor beam, and towed aboard the larger ship.
On board the Falcon, Tobias, Rey, Finn, and BB-8 hide themselves inside a maintenance compartment under the floor. Soon, the ship's door opens, and Han Solo and Chewbacca enter.
"Chewie. We're home." Han says. The two new arrivals start inspecting the ship. Eventually, they open the floor compartment, discovering Tobias and the others.
"Dad! Uncle Chewie!" Tobias says.
"Toby? I thought you were dead." Han says.
"Damn near." Tobias says. He climbs out of the compartment, followed by the others. Tobias is immediately embraced by Chewbacca.
/Where have you been? Nobody's heard from you in six months! Leia called and asked if we heard from you./ Chewbacca says.
"Mom...called you?" Tobias asks.
"She called Chewie. Not me." Han answers.
"You can understand that thing?" Finn asks.
"And 'that thing' can understand you too, so watch it." Han says.
"Finn didn't mean anything by it. I guess he's never met a wookiee before." Tobias says.
"Nope." Finn says.
"Where'd you get this ship, anyway?" Han asks.
"Niima Outpost." Tobias answers.
"Jakku? That junkyard?" Han asks.
"Thank you! Junkyard!" Finn says. Han looks at Chewbacca.
"Told you we should have checked the Western Reaches!" Han says.
"I tried to buy the Falcon, but the bastard wouldn't sell. Had to wait for a First Order attack before we could grab it." Tobias asks.
"Who are they? Your crew?" Han asks.
"This is Rey. That's Finn. That's BB-8. I've got to get him back to the Resistance. He has a map to...Uncle Luke." Tobias says.
"Are you sure?" Han asks.
"Yeah. Mom assigned him and Poe to get it." Tobias answers.
"That Dameron kid? Where is he anyway?" Han asks.
"We think he might be dead. There's something else too. You-know-who is after the map." Tobias says. Han considers what Tobias has said.
"Well, not much I can do about that, is there?" Han asks.
"You could if you tried. Take us to the Resistance." Tobias says.
"No. I'll take you to Maz. She'll make sure you get to where you need to go." Han says.
"Still don't want to face her, do you?" Tobias asks.
"I really don't want to talk about this." Han says.
"Suit yourself. Just remember that you're not getting any younger. Neither is mom." Tobias says.
I hate it when he's right. Han thinks. Suddenly, there is a distant, metallic sound.
"Don't tell me a rathtar's gotten loose." Han says. He hurries out of the Falcon, and is quickly followed by everyone else, except for Finn.
"Wait… A what? Did you just say rathtar? Hey!" Finn says. Finally, Finn follows the others out of the ship.
The Millennium Falcon is docked in a large hangar inside the larger freighter. Han walks to a console, and the others approach him.
"You're not hauling rathtars on this freighter are you?" Finn asks. Han thinks for a few seconds.
"I'm hauling rathtars." Han answers.
"That's insane." Tobias says. Han shrugs.
"Pays the bills." Han says. Han looks at the console, which displays several images, including an exterior image of another ship approaching.
"What is it?" Tobias asks.
"Guavian Death Gang. They must have tracked us from Nantoon." Han says. He walks away from the console, and heads down a long, narrow hallway.
"What's a rathtar?" Rey asks.
"Trouble." Tobias answers.
"Big and dangerous." Han says.
"You ever heard of the Trillia Massacre?" Finn asks.
"No." Rey answers.
"It wasn't pretty. Remind me to never tell you about it." Tobias says.
"I've got three of 'em going to King Prana." Han says.
"Three? How did you get them on board?" Finn asks.
"I used to have a bigger crew." Han answers.
"Okay. I figure you'll try to talk your way out of whatever it is that's about to go down. That'll probably fail, and we'll end up shooting the bastards. Is that about right?" Tobias asks.
/Yeah. Pretty much./ Chewbacca answers.
"Get below deck and stay there until I say so. Toby, you go with 'em. Make sure they don't take the Falcon." Han says.
"They're not going to steal the ship." Tobias says.
"Well, I don't know them, so better to be safe than sorry. Oh yeah, BB-8 stays with me." Han says.
"Why does he need to stay with you?" Rey asks.
"Insurance." Han answers.
"Fine. We'll try it your way first. Then, when you fall on your ass, I'll come bail you out." Tobias says. Chewbacca laughs.
Damn smart mouth kid! Why did he have to be so much like his mother? Han thinks.
"If you've got something to say…" Han says.
"It can wait until after you're done playing with your friends." Tobias says. He walks away, with Rey and Finn following him.
The freighter is soon boarded by the Guavian Death Gang, who confront Han. Underneath the floor, Tobias, Rey, and Finn are crawling.
"Can you see them?" Rey asks.
"No." Finn answers.
"Sneak attack, remember. That means quiet." Tobias whispers.
"Sorry." Rey whispers.
"It's alright. Just...be careful. We don't want them to hear us." Tobias whispers. Rey nods. The three continue to crawl as they listen to the conversation above them.
"You think hunting rathtars is cheap? I spent that money." Han says.
"Kanjiklub wants their investment back too." The gang leader, Bala-Tik says.
"I never made a deal with Kanjiklub." Han says.
"Tell that to Kanjiklub." Bala-Tik says.
Another group of gangsters appears.
Shit! He's in deep this time! Guavian Death Gang and Kanjiklub? I guess I'm going to have to bail him out. I swore I'd never use that damn thing again, but… he's my father. I have to do something. Tobias thinks.
"That BB unit… the First Order is looking for one just like it. And three fugitives." Bala-Tik says.
Tobias, Rey, and Finn stop crawling.
"First I've heard of it." Han says.
"Search the freighter!" A Kanjiklub member says. One of their fellow gang members begins to move down the corridor, aiming a flashlight toward the grated floor.
"Okay. Time to go. Follow me!" Tobias says.
Tobias, Rey, and Finn crawl quickly in the opposite direction. Eventually, they come to a junction box. Rey looks at the controls.
"Wait wait wait wait! If we close the blast doors in that corridor, we can trap both gangs!" Rey says.
"Close the blast doors from here?" Finn asks.
"Resetting the fuses should do it." Rey answers. Rey puts her hand on one of the fuses, and Tobias grabs her wrist.
"No, Rey. You might pull the wrong fuse and release the rathtars, then we'll have all kinds of trouble. I have a better idea. You and Finn stay here, and don't touch anything." Tobias says. Rey nods, and backs away from the fuses,
"Where are you going?" Rey asks.
"I'm going to go save my dad from this mess he's gotten himself into." Tobias answers. He starts taking his blaster apart. After removing a few pieces, he puts the rest in his jacket pocket, and takes out a few different pieces.
"What's that?" Rey asks.
"There's something I haven't told you. It's… about the past. I'll tell you everything once we're out of danger. I promise." Tobias answers. He begins to screw the metal pieces together, into a silver and gold cylindrical shape.
"You better. You know how I feel about secrets." Rey says.
"I know." Tobias says. Apparently finished with his work, Tobias quickly kisses Rey on the cheek, then runs away.
"What was that thing? Some kind of miniaturized pulse cannon?" Rey asks.
"I think it was a lightsaber." Finn answers.
"A lightsaber? Like the Jedi used. No way. Toby's not a Jedi. He can't be. He would have told me." Rey says.
"Would he? How long have you known him?" Finn asks.
"Longer than I've known you. If you think you can turn me against Toby, it won't work." Rey answers.
"I didn't mean anything by it. Sorry." Finn says.
Han Solo, Chewbacca, and BB-8 are in trouble. Blasters are aimed at all three, and there seems to be no escape.
Now they're searching the ship. Damn. Come on, son. Get out of here. Run for it. Take the ship if you have to. Just… go. This mess is all my fault. You're not a part of this. Han thinks.
"All this over a missed payment? Really? Come on guys! You know how these old folks are! Always forgetting things!" Tobias says, as he walks up, and stands next to Han. He affectionately slaps his father on the shoulder.
"What the hell are you doing?" Han asks.
"Saving your ass." Tobias whispers.
"Who is this?" Bala-Tik asks. Han shrugs, and points to Tobias.
"Him? He's no one. Deck hand." Han answers.
"So, this… deck hand have a name?" Bala-Tik asks.
"Oh, you know, I'm… just a guy… with a lightsaber!" Tobias says as he presses a switch on the object in his hand. A purple blade of light emerges from one end.
"Jedi!" Bala-Tik shouts. The gangsters all aim their blasters at Tobias.
"Dad, Chewie, run for it! BB-8 go with them!" Tobias says.
"To hell with that! I'm not leaving you here!" Han says. He takes out his blaster, and Chewbacca readies his bowcaster. Tobias nods.
"Alright, then help me take out these bastards." Tobias says.
"Now, you're talking!" Han says.
"Give it up! You're outnumbered!" Bala-Tik says.
"I don't think so!" Tobias says.
"Kill them! And take the droid!" Bala-Tik says. The gangsters start firing their blasters. Tobias uses his lightsaber to block the incoming fire, and reflects some of it back, taking down two of the thugs. One of the red clad Guavians charges toward Tobias, only to be cut down by a blade of purple.
"I think it's time we made our exit!" Tobias says.
"No arguments here! Get to the Falcon!" Han says. Tobias takes off, followed by Han, Chewbacca, and BB-8. The remaining gangsters follow. Tobias reaches into his jacket pocket, and takes out his comlink.
"Toby? Are you alright? What's going on? I heard blasters!" Rey says over the comlink.
"Rey, you and Finn get to the Falcon!" Tobias says.
"What happened?" Rey asks.
"I'll tell you once were out of here! Now, get going! We're on our way, with a bunch of bad guys behind us!" Tobias answers.
"Got it. See you soon." Rey says.
Eventually, Tobias, Han, Chewbacca, and BB-8 reach the hangar entrance. They take cover, and exchange fire with the gangsters chasing them.
"I got the door. Cover us." Han says. He works with the door controls as Tobias and Chewbacca handle the gangsters. As the door opens, Chewbacca is hit in the shoulder, and falls to the floor.
"Chewie! You okay?" Han asks. He takes the wookiee's bowcaster and uses it briefly, impressed with its firepower.
"You got that door yet?" Tobias asks.
"Yeah. Just got it." Han answers.
"Alright. You help Chewie. I'll cover you." Tobias says. Han assists the injured wookiee and Tobias covers them as they head for the Falcon. Soon, Rey and Finn arrive. Rey's eyes widen at the sight of the ignited lightsaber. Tobias spots Rey, and immediately shuts the weapon off, seemingly ashamed of it.
Shit. She saw it. I'm going to have to tell her everything. I wonder what she'll think of me. Tobias thinks.
It's… a lightsaber. Finn was right. Toby, what are you hiding from me? Why couldn't you tell me? Rey thinks.
"Toby!" Rey shouts.
"You, close the door behind us! You, take care of Chewie!" Han says, to Rey and Finn respectively.
Han boards the Falcon first, immediately followed by Tobias, Rey, and BB-8. Finn and Chewbacca bring up the rear as Finn helps the injured wookiee up the ship's ramp.
Once inside the Falcon, Han, Tobias, and Rey head for the cockpit. Rey eyes the co-pilot seat.
No. It's his father's ship. I'll let Toby co-pilot. Rey thinks. She sits in one of the rear seats instead. Tobias takes his place at Chewbacca's seat.
"Toby, Unkar Plutt installed a fuel pump- if we don't prime that, we're not going anywhere." Rey says. Tobias nods, and starts working the controls.
"I hate that guy." Han says. Han takes his place in the pilot's seat, and says "Watch the thrust, we're goin' out of here at lightspeed…"
"From inside the hangar? Is that even possible?" Rey asks.
"I never ask that question until after I've done it." Han answers.
Soon, all of the gangsters arrive at the hangar, and start firing on the Falcon.
"This is not how I thought this day was gonna go… angle the shields… hang on back there!" Han says.
The gangsters continue to fire on the ship, hitting fuel lines.
"Come on baby, don't let me down!" Han says. He hits a switch, and nothing happens.
"What now?" Tobias asks.
"Compressor." Rey says, as she reaches over and presses a switch. Han hits the lightspeed switch again, and the ship vanishes as it jumps into hyperspace.
