Hey everybird! What's up!?

So yeah, this is going to be a tough chapter to write… Not in terms of the writing itself, but the content… Because well… As some of you have guessed, this chapter is about the destruction of the Hosnian System and the new Republic Navy…

So you better get your tissues ready just in case!

However before we get to there, lets get to today's questions!

Today's question is…

Do you think that at the very end of The Last Problem, we literally got our cast for G5 as they went off with the main cast of G4 watching them go off?

And to your questions…

From Nightfly123, he asks, "What was your reaction to that "certain event" when you saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens for the first time?

Me: Well I knew that with the destruction of the Hosnian System and the New Republic Navy, the Resistance is now almost basically alone and the fight has become that much more difficult, it was a shock to be sure, watching all those red superlasers tear apart a whole system of planets.

From T8ECR34TOR, he asks, "If you had seen Toy Story 3 & 4, what was your opinion on both endings?"

Me: Well I would say the same thing too as you did, but to be honest I felt like the third movie would have been a good way to end the series, it's not that I didn't like the fourth movie, but… I don't know, it felt a little unnecessary in my opinion.

Chapter 36: The Darkest Day

(Arthur's POV)

A couple of days have passed since the Resistance's liaison officer has left and arrived on Hosnian Prime, starting a deeper relationship with the New Republic, hopefully to convince the Senate finally of the real threat the First Order was to the galaxy and receive more direct support from the New Republic Navy. And with this, hopefully we could maybe get some leave and go back home for awhile, see mom and dad finally after we have left years ago, ever since we first left for D'Qar to join the Resistance.

Of course there was also the bad news, in which Poe still has yet to return, or even make contact to tell us he was okay and on his way back. I was really starting to miss flying in my beautiful blue and white X-Wing and was envious of when I saw Tyler take off from the base in his fighter. And he teased me repeatedly, but he always shut up when I mentioned Tally, especially when others were standing around.

I was currently down inside the command center, with Alex as he was plugged into a socket as I was checking in with a couple of my pilots, who were out on a short mission. How I wished I was actually with them, instead of back at base just listening in to their comms.

"Mission complete sir, we're heading back to base." Blue Five's voice came in.

"Copy that, well done Blue Five and Six, get some rest as soon as you return." I replied as I let out a breath, shutting off the comms as I leaned back, Alex beeping at me. "Yeah I know Alex… I want to be in my cockpit too, but Poe still has yet to return, why don't we find Tyler, call mom and dad to update them." I suggested, Alex beeping at me happily as I knew he really wanted to see mom too.

So with Alex by my side, I went to go look for Tyler and well it wasn't too hard to find him, because I found him and Tally side by side underneath Tally's fighter, working on something, but to also probably be cute with each other. Deciding to play a joke on them, I walked as quietly as I could to the side of Tally's fighter, before I did my best impersonation of Grandpa Blu.

"Attention!" I shouted as both Tally and Tyler stopped their own chatting right away and of course being surprised, they both bumped their heads against the bottom of the fighter, which hurt very much as they both rolled out and were annoyed that it wasn't Grandpa Blu, but me.

"Arthur, are you serious?" Tyler said sternly to me as he rubbed his forehead, as he felt a little bump on his head. "That hurt."

"Yeah sir, what gives?" Tally also agreed.

"Sorry you two, but if you paid more attention to your surroundings you would realize it was me." I chuckled. "Tyler, I got some free time, want to call mom and dad?"

"Yeah sure, Tally and I were about done anyway." Tyler replied and turned to Tally. "I'll see you later?"

"Oh definitely, my quarters tonight." Tally answered as I found it hard not to blush.

Leaving Tally behind to finish up, Tyler and I walked to my quarters, looking froward to talking with mom and dad, not having talked to them in more than a week, but of course things were a lot more chaotic and busy, so we had less free time on our wings these days. Arriving at my quarters, making sure to shut the door behind me, Alex got to calling mom and dad back on Hosnian Prime, where we were sure they were at the academy.

It took a couple of minutes, but finally the signal reached Easy, my former droid, which now belonged to mom as mom's image appeared.

"Hi mom." Both Tyler and I greeted our mother at the same time.

"Boys, I was waiting so long for your call." Mom greeted back as of course she then looked at Alex. "And Alex, you're still looking good buddy, glad Arthur took good care of you." Mom smiled as Alex beeped back happily seeing his former owner.

"Mom, where's dad?" Tyler asked, as his answer came right away.

"Right here boys, your mother and I are working a little late today." Dad's voice entered as his image appeared right next to mom's. "You two look exhausted."

"More than you know dad…" Tyler answered.

"It's been pretty busy, that's why we haven't had the chance to call you these days, General Organa has us flying out missions every hour it seems and well… Even thought I let Poe borrow my fighter for a mission, I still have a lot to do on the ground." I added.

"Well hopefully soon enough we'll get to see each other again face to face, fighting next to each other." Dad remaining hopeful.

"We actually met the Resistance liaison officer, she came over by the academy yesterday to see how everything works, I even got to show her around myself." Mom smiled. "The officer even told me what she knows about Blue Squadron's role and let me tell you boys, I am very impressed with how you managed everything, your father and I raised you two right."

"Thanks mom." Tyler and I blushed.

"Well mom, we been thinking, hopefully if the New Republic Senate finally sides with us, we could get some leave, come back home and actually see you two without any worries that you two will be isolated." I explained.

"That would be great son, but you know who cares about what others think, all that matters is to have you boys here with us." Dad reassured Tyler and I.

"And even if no one else welcomes you back on this world, you two have us to come into our waiting wings." Mom added.

"Thanks mom and dad, we love…" I started, only I stopped as I heard screaming and shouting coming from the background from where mom and dad were.

"Mom, dad, what's going on?" Tyler asked, getting a little worried.

"I don't know son…" Dad answered as suddenly the background light changed in mom and dad's images as everything began to turn bright red. "Oh no…"

"Mom, dad, what's happening!?" I asked, beginning to panic as they didn't answer at first, only holding onto each other before they turned to us.

"Goodbye boys, we love you forever." Dad said as I saw a tear fall out from his eye.

"Goodbye my sons, may the Force be with you, always." Mom added as she also started to shed tears, pulling dad closer to her.

"Mom, dad!" Tyler shouted as then the connection was cut off…

On Hosnian Prime…

(Lisa's POV)

I never thought that I would go out like this, I always thought I would go out in a blaze of glory in my fighter, dying like a hero, but I guess dying here with Tiago, my wing partner for life was far better, holding onto the love of my life, sharing the tears and close embrace, amid the chaos and screams of everyone else as they ran past us, terrified. It was useless, where could they run to when the destruction of a whole world was fast coming, no chance of survival. As the red light in the sky grew brighter and brighter, seeming to come straight for Tiago and I, I lifted up my head to look right into Tiago's eyes.

"I love you Tiago." I cried as I saw, from the corner of my eye, the red light about to strike the surface.

"I love you too Lisa." Tiago replied as we then hugged each other as tightly as we could, for dear life, refusing to let anything break us apart as the red light struck the surface.

Tiago and I still stayed there as shockwaves were sent through, shattering the glass windows of the academy building as the shards flew past us, not caring if any glass impaled us, not that it mattered, we didn't feel any pain at all. And we still held onto each other as the surface of Hosnian Prime began to break apart and whole landmasses were ripped apart and were sent into space.

And we were still holding onto each other as the destruction reached us and we were both vaporized right on the spot, never letting go of each other as the fiery red light consumed us, claiming us to wherever our life in death would take us…

Back on D'Qar…

(Arthur's POV)

"Alex, get mom and dad back up now!" I shouted as Alex beeped back at me that there was no way to get a connection, because there was no connection to begin with, I was going to force Alex to do so, that is when Tyler ran out of the room. "Tyler, come back here!" I shouted at my brother as he just ignored me and continued running away.

I had no choice as I ran after Tyler, Alex following me as I chased my brother all the way to the outside, where everyone who was working on the outside of the base was staring up into the sky as I saw Tyler as well, also having stopped and his gaze fixed on the sky as well. As I got to Tyler's side, I also looked up to see several bright red dots in the sky that was not there before, like new stars have formed in a matter of minutes. Only I knew of course that it wasn't stars… But a whole system of planets having been blown up by none other than the First Order… How, I have no idea, but that wasn't important at the moment…

What was important at the moment was that Tyler ran off yet again as I didn't notice at first, but when I did notice that Tyler wasn't by my side anymore, I looked to see him run up to his fighter. Running after him, I saw him get into his cockpit, putting on his helmet, not even having Ashley be with him.

"Captain, get down from there right now!" I shouted as Tyler disregarded my order.

"No brother, I'm going to kill every single First Order target there is until I'm dead myself!" Tyler shouted with emotion as he continued starting up his engines.

"You don't think I want to join you!?" I said out loud, not caring if others were looking at us. "You don't think I want to jump into an X-Wing and burn down the First Order myself too!? I want to, but we need to be smart about this, now stand down captain!"

"Make me…" Tyler dared me as I felt for something on my belt with my wing, feeling it as I took it out and pointed it right at Tyler. "You're really going to shoot me brother?"

"Last chance captain…" I held my blaster pistol with shaky wings. "Stand down…"

"No…" Tyler answered as he pushed the button that would close the cockpit…

Taking a deep breath and knowing that pressing the trigger would completely change our relationship, I fired a shot… The blue ring of the stun shot making it before the cockpit could completely close as the shot hit Tyler as he fainted out from the stun blast, his body going limp over the control panels in front of him. Lowering my blaster, I looked to see a few soldiers just behind me, a little shocked as they just stood there.

"Get the captain down from there and toss him in his quarters, make sure he stays there, got it?" I said sternly to the infantry soldiers in front of me.

"Yes sir." One of them replied as the soldiers went to get Tyler from his cockpit as I put my blaster back in his holster on my belt.

With stunned faces looking on at me, the soldiers carried Tyler's unconscious body, going to the barracks area of the base as I walked, with my head lowered down, going on top of the hangar, sitting down on the grass as I just let it all out of me…

Yeah, I would be lying if I said I didn't come close to crying… This was a very hard chapter to write out…

Also… T8ECR34TOR, buddy, while I did consider that maybe Lisa and Tiago would survive, I think it's a lot more meaningful if they did in fact perish alongside the rest of the Hosnian system and the New Republic Navy. Gives their boys a much more personal reason to fight, to see the First Order gone one day.

I think that's it, so…

See everybird later!
