With the battle finally over, Ben and Jaycen meet with Jade in the cockpit. "That was some nice flying back there." Jaycen said with a smile towards Jade. "Thanks but it was mostly the autopilot." Jade said. "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. There is no autopilot." Ben said as he took a seat. Jade was flabbergasted. "You're saying I could've gotten us all killed!" Jade screamed. Ben starts to awkwardly laugh. "We'll I just didn't want to make you nervous." Ben said while Jaycen chuckled at his cousin getting his ear chewed off. Finally after Jade has calmed down, the three start to get serious. "So what now?" Jade asked. "Well the plan hasn't changed. We get BB-8 back to base and we find my father, then that's one step closer to taking down the First Order." Ben said. As they all agree with the plan.
"So while we still have time before we get to your base, can I ask you something Ben?" Jade asked. "Sure," Ben said. "Are you really the son of Luke Skywalker?" Jade asked. "Yep" Ben said nonchalantly. Jade was dumbfounded about what he said that so casually as if he's not the son of the greatest hero in the galaxy."Well where did—" Jade was cut off as they unexpectedly exited out of hyperspace.
"Damn the Hyperdrive is down." Ben said. As he and Jade walk to the back of the ship with Jaycen meeting them there."Jaycen, do you think you can fix it while I pilot?" Ben said
"Why can't you fix it and I pilot it?" Jaycen complained
"Because I already fixed the threausters. It's your turn to fix something" Ben said
"Wait a minute." Ben said sensing something wrong "I've got a bad feeling about this." Ben said
"You always say that, Ben." Jaycen said annoyed
"No, I say that because somebody is pulling us in their cargo ship." Ben pointing at large ship.
"Why didn't you say that earlier" Jaycen said angrily but before Jaycen could chew out Ben, the doors to the ship opened making Ben and Jaycen ignite their blue and green lightsabers. Just as they get in their battle stance an old man and a wookie appear with their blasters up
"Chewie, we're home." Han said as Chewbacca growled in agreement. They turned the corner only to be met by lightsabers.
"Han?" Ben awkwardly said
"Jaycen? Ben? What are you guys doing here and how did you get the Falcon back?" Han asked
"First of all, how did you lose the Falcon?" Ben asked
But before Han could answer, Jade quickly jumped in between their conversation. "Wait you're Captain Han Solo and you're telling me I flew the Millennium Falcon. The same ship that ran the kessel run in 14 parsecs." Jade said excitedly
"12!, 14 parsecs." Han said, shaking his head as he walked to the cockpit. Han slowly walked back to the group and faced Jaycen
"Jaycen… it's been awhile son" Han said not being able to directly say to his face
"Yeah it has…," Jaycen said coldly. "How did you even find the Falcon anyways we are in the middle of nowhere? Jaycen asked
"Well when that fat tub of lard Unkar Plutt stole my ship I had a tracking beacon on the ship but it would only active when the ship was started but it's seems this ship hasn't flown in years" Han said mad not just at the fact someone stole his but didn't even keep it in check. "It's going to take forever to get back and running to my standards".
"But now that I've answered your question, what are you two doing and who is she?" Han asked, pointing at Jade.
"She's a friend who we picked up on the way, our mission was to bring this droid back to the General." Ben said as BB-8 rolls into the conversation.
"How can this droid be so important that Leia asked you two to personally deliver her back this metal ball" Han said
"It has the map to my father," Ben said as seriously as he could.
"Luke…" Han said, shocked to his core. But before the conversations could continue the cargo ship's alarms started going off. "Damn don't tell me a Rathtar got loose.." Han said walking out of the Falcon with the other 3 following behind.
"You're carrying Rathtars?" Ben asked as they headed to the camera room
" Oh Great. It's the Guavian Death Gang; they must've tracked us from Nantoon. They might be after the Rathtar." Han said
"What's a Rathtar?" Jade said as Han led the group down a long narrow hall lined with cargo containers.
"They're big and dangerous." Han said
"Ya Ever heard of the Trillia Massacre?!" Ben asked
"No." Jade
"Good" Ben said as they turn a corner
"I got three of 'em going to King Prana." Han said
"Three?! How'd you get them on board?" Ben asked
"I used to have a bigger crew." Han said and Chewie groans, concurring. Han then walked over and lifted up a hatch. "Get below deck and stay there until I say so I don't need two Jedi getting involved."
"What about BB-8?" Jaycen asked
"He stays with me until I get rid of the gang, then you can have him back and be on your way." Han said
"What about the Rathtars... where are you keeping them?"Jade said as a terrifying bang is heard from a grotesque rathtar giant tongue slams into the cargo container window behind Jade, whose heart stops.
"There's one." Han said
"What are you gonna do?" Ben said
"Same thing I always do; talk my way out of it." Han said Chewie moaned, disagreeing with Han "Yes, I do. Every time." Han said
In the cargo ship hallway where Han waits for the gang. A portal opens. The Guavian Death Gang enters. One man in a suit, and five security soldiers in old clone war uniforms with round face helmets. They turn into and stop at one end of the corridor. Han, Chewie and BB-8 forty feet away in the middle of the long hall.
"Han Solo. You are a dead man." Bala-Tik said
Han smiles innocently, friendly. BB-8 nervously looks back and forth at the gang, and Han.
"Bala-Tik. What's the problem?" Han asked
"The problem is we loaned you fifty thousand for this job." Bala-Tik said
Underneath the cargo ship the other 3 look up, trying to get a view.
"Can you see them?" Jade asked
"No." Jaycen said
They start crawling down the crawl space.
"I heard you also borrowed fifty thousand from Kanjiklub." Bala-Tik said
"You know you can't trust those little freaks! How long have we known each Other?" Han said
Ben, Jaycen, and Jade arrive under the gang.
"They have blasters…" Jade said
"A lot of 'em." Jaycen
"The question is how much longer will we know each other? Not long. We want our money back now." Bala-Tik said
"Ya think hunting Rathtars is cheap, I spent that money." Han said
"Kanjiklub wants their investment back, too." Bala-Tik
"I never made a deal with Kanjiklub!" Han said
"Tell that to Kanjiklub." Bala-Tik
The sound of a portal opening. Han's face goes white as he turns to the other end of the corridor, where Kanjiklub enters. Han smiles uncomfortably at the Kanjiklub members. Its leader, Tasu Leech, out front. Han tries to play it off:
"Tasu Leech. Good to see you." Han said
Wrong again, Solo. It's over for you. "Tasu Leech threatened
"Boys. You're both gonna get what I promised! Have I ever not delivered for you before?" Han asked
"Yeah." Bala-Tik
"Twice!" Tasu Leech said
Han realizes he's right.
"What was the second time?" Han asked
"Your game is old. There's no one in the galaxy left for you to swindle." Bala-Tick said
"Nowhere left for you to hide." Tasu Leech
"That BB unit... the First Order is looking for one just like it. And three fugitives." Bala-Tik said. Ben, Jaycen, and Jade stop in their tracks, tense. BB-8 hides behind Han's leg.
"First I've heard of it." Han said
"Search the freighter." Tasu Leech said
Ben and Jaycen look at one another then nod. They both jump out from under the Cargo ship and ignite their Blue and Green lightsabers. Han and Chewie Start blasting.
"Jedi! Blast them!" Baba-Tik ordered
"Get Jade and BB-8 to the Falcon we'll follow from behind." Ben said while blocking the blaster shots with his saber
Han nods "Come on Chewie." Suddenly the lights of the ship go out and a sense of dread fills the ship. "I got a bad feeling about this…" Han says before suddenly all the lights come back on and loud roar echos the ship
"Oh no." Ben said
"Oh no, what?" Jaycen asked
"Kill them! And take the droid!" Baba-Tik ordered but as soon as he finished yelling a giant rathtar crashed into the hallway wall. The Death Gang turns and fires at the monster.
Han, Chewie, Jade and BB-8 race down the hall when a member of the The Kanjiklub gang comes around the corner. Han quickly punches him and throws him in the mouth of an incoming rathtar. They keep on running towards the ship
Back with Ben and Jay fighting off the two gangs and incoming rathtars. "Ben, we need to get out of here before this ship is crawling with those things." Jaycen said while reflecting a blast back at a gang member and force pushing a rathtar back in its cage.
"I'm open to suggestions!" Ben said while slicing another gang member.
Jaycen begins to look around the battle to see an opportunity to get out of this situation. After stabbing another gang member, the alien drops a thermal detonator. Jaycen smiles "I've got an idea!" Jaycen yelled as he picked up the detonator.
Ben looks over "Are you insane, you know we are also in this hallway"
"Well then let's get to the ship." Jaycen said as he turned on the detonator, throwing toward Bala-Tick and his gang. The two focus and use the force to enhance their speed and the two blitzes towards the ship barely being able to escape the blast.
Once the two finally reach the hanger, they both make a dash for the Falcon but blasting through another door is a group of bandits blasting at the ship. The two take cover but then hear the Falcon's engineer starting up and the ship beginning to hover up. "Hurry up you two!" Jade yells from the Falcon's open hanger door. Ben and Jaycen make their way towards Jade while dodging, jumping and reflecting laser fire.
After several close calls with a bolt to the face, the pair finally managed to make it to the open door. Jaycen makes the first jump with Ben behind him, but before Ben could make his jump the roar of a rathtar could be heard through the hanger with the rathtar coming in not too long after. "Hurry it up you guys, the ship can't take much more of this!" Han yells from the cockpit.
"Come on Ben, I got you!" Jaycen yelled as he extended his hand to him. Ben focuses up and makes the jumps to Jaycen but right before their hand could lock, a rathtar's tentacle wraps around Ben's leg pulling back down the hanger. Jaycen quickly reacts and uses the force on Ben's arm and pulls him up enough for them to grab each other's hand. But Jaycen underestimates the rathtar's strength and begins pulling the both of them down with Jaycen only holding on to the edge of the door.
"Dammit I can't hold on for much longer." Jaycen said in his head as he tried to focus his grip on Ben and the Falcon. "I need to do something soon or we both will-" Jaycen thoughts are interrupted as he opens his eyes to see Jade grab his lightsaber.
"Alright, how do you turn this thing on?" Jade said to herself as she smacked the lightsaber. "You press the only button on it." Jaycen said, still struggling to hold both him and Ben up. Jade finally finds the button and ignites a green blade from the hilt.
Jade focuses herself and aims at the rathtar's tentacle, trying not to cut Ben's leg in the process. She swings the blade and cuts right through the tentacle with a liquified scream coming out of the monster as the three finally enter the Falcon and close the door. "We're all here!" Jade yells at Han. "Finally, alright Chewie let's get us out of here." Han says as the ship blasts off.
On the Starkiller base in Supreme Leader Snoke's throne room, Darth Crause and General Hux meet with a hologram of Snoke.
"The droid is going to be back in the hands of the Resistance soon. Right now as we speak it's being accompanied by Han Solo on the Millenium Falcon and an old friend of yours, Darth Crause. Your old apprentice, Jaycen Solo." Snoke said.
"Impossible. I killed him years ago. When I destroyed the temple." Crause argued
"I guess not my apprentice. You will kill him in time. We can't let him or his cousin find Skywalker and strengthen the Jedi." Snoke said
"My lord, I believe it's now the perfect time to use our weapon and start project 'World Destroyer'." Hux said
"Go. Oversee preparations General." Snoke said
"Yes, Supreme Leader." Hux said then bowed and walked out of the room
"Crause, I don't want your feelings towards Solo to affect your emotions. This is your biggest test. He's the only one who knows you as Cody Ravage." Snoke said
"Him And that name mean nothing to me now. Master" Crause said
"Good." Snoke said with a menacing grin
