Hey everybird! What's up!?

So I decided to not do anything for Halloween… Yeah I know I have not really been so good at keeping my promises…

But I'm not really good at writing scary stuff, plus I have also recently started something on fimfiction that's off to a very good start, so I'm going to be spending some more time on there as well! I'm still aiming for something on Thanksgiving and of course I already know what my Christmas story this year will be, so hopefully those plans still remain!

Now moving on to today's question…

What do you think is the scariest thing from Star Wars?

Me: The parasite worms from Geonosis that infected a clone, who in turn infected a whole ship of them, the scary part comes when that clone had the worm come out of his mouth to attack Barriss, the way his eyes are just like rolled back in his head… "Shivers".

Anyway, moving on to your qestions…

From Nightfly123, he asks, "Does Eduardo still have a sister in this Star Wars universe?

Me: I'm going to say no, I never written Mimi into the story, I guess I implied that he lives alone in The Scarlet Rebel, hence why Lisa means so much to him.

From Stormknight089, he asks, "Are you happy with your life?

Me: Yes I am, and I have to ask… Why do you ask?

Chapter 41: Last Chance

(Blu's POV)

As I stood at my position by the holographic table close by the general, listening in on the comms of the remaining pilots, fighting with everything they got despite the mounting odds stacked against them with little time to complete the mission, I saw the general start to grow weak, like she suddenly became sick, luckily there was a chair behind her to catch her. I wondered if the general was alright, she did something very similar when the Hosnian System was destroyed by the First Order, like she could feel when something absolutely terrible has happened, but there was no time for that as I heard Admiral Ackbar speak…

"The oscillator's been damaged but is still functional." The admiral reported as he looked at the display of Starkiller's status.

"Admiral, their weapon will fire in two minutes." An officer reported as I felt my face start to go pale.

"Come on boys, finish it already…" I said in my head.

(Arthur's POV)

This was surely becoming a losing fight every second as I watched, one by one, X-Wings get rippled apart by TIEs or by ground fire, their debris crashing down onto the surface of Starkiller as the sky was completely dark, only a small bit of light left in the sun as it was barely hanging on to its life, its energy being sucked dry by the First Order.

Chasing a TIE, shooting at it with bursts of my laser fire, another X-Wing, what looked like Red Leader, passed by me being chased himself, as we passed each other, Alex reported that the TIE got him.

"We just lost R1." Another pilot reported in

"We're overwhelmed, what do we do?" Tally asked around as I heard the visible fear in her voice. "It isn't working."

There had to be something we could do, I started looking around for a solution and that's when I saw it… An opportunity that could win us the day…

"Black Leader, there's a brand new hole in that oscillator." I pointed out to Poe. "Looks like our friends got in." I told Poe as he wasted no time to react to this new development.

"Red Four, Red Six, cover us!" Poe ordered.

"I'm on it!" Red Four's voice called back.

"Roger!" Red Six added as Poe then told everyone else, including me what to do.

"Everybody else, hit the target hard!" Poe urged us. "Give it everything you got!"

As everyone regrouped, we all charged at the oscillator for what may be the last chance we had, as I looked around, I saw Tyler still in the fight, as determined as ever to avenge mom and dad's deaths. As Poe and the X-Wings covering him rushed down into a trench leading up to the new hole, I peeled off to help cover the group in the trench from above, baiting at least some of the TIEs into attacking me and not focusing on the ones down below.

Even still I saw Poe and the others below needing to dodge the turrets lining the way in the trench, not much room to maneuver around.

"I need some help here! I need some help!" I heard Poe's voice call through.

I'm coming in!" Red Four replied.

"Watch out!" A female pilot shouted as I saw Red Six's X-Wing get hit by shots from a turret.

"I'm hit!" Red Six cried out as the wreckage tumbled and bounced against the ground and the sides of the trench.

As I watched Poe and the others get closer, TIEs started to pay attention, coming from the front, above and behind as they tried to shoot down the fast moving X-Wings.

"All teams, I'm going in!" Poe told everyone. "Pull up and cover me!"

"Copy that Black Leader." Another pilot replied. "Good Luck Poe." The pilot wishing Poe luck as I saw everyone down in the trench, except Poe break off as a TIE came from behind and started to chase Poe down, I was going to help, but my attention was turned to a TIE coming at me from the side as Alex warned me.

"Hang tight Alex!" I shouted at the droid as I pulled sharply to the right, the TIE on my back now as I dodged his fire, I was about to do some fancy flying, except someone came to my rescue as the TIE was blasted apart by red laser fire.

"Need some help brother?" Tyler's voice called to me in a teasing manner.

"Thanks for the save brother." I thanked Tyler as I redirected my attention once more to where Poe was.

And well he was nearly there as I watched him close up his wings so he could squeeze through the hole created by our team on the ground, the TIE on his tail tried to shoot him down, but it was too late as Poe got through, managing to fit through as the TIE, unable to fit himself broke off, climbing up and away as Poe was free to wreck havoc inside.

As I continued watching, free from any TIEs at the moment, I saw fire erupt out of the hole as Poe's fighter shot out, climbing up and away, which told me it was time to get clear of the explosion that would surely follow…

"Everyone get clear of the oscillator!" I shouted through comms as I started heading away from the structure and well about five seconds later…

The dark skies were suddenly filled with brightness as a massive explosion, like an erupting volcano came from the oscillator, shooting out flames in all directions as I had to cover my face with my wing from how much light suddenly filled my vision. As the explosion subsided, it sent ripples through the ground as huge cracks and sinkholes were created on the surface as the TIEs retreated, no longer any reason to fight us as all of us remaining also did the same, heading away from the oscillator as our objective was completed. Now we just needed to see if our team on the ground would manage to escape in time before they perished along with the First Order.

"Everyone keep your eyes out for our team, we can't leave without them." I ordered as I kept my eyes looking down below while Alex scanned around for any life signs.

As the planet continued to collapse below us, the surface looking like a volcanic hot zone with the ground being blown up and fire escaping, I doubted that our team would come out of this alive. That is until I heard Poe's voice come through on comms.

"All teams!" Poe alerted us. "I got eyes on them!"

"Yes!" I heard Snap's voice follow as we were now all free to head on out before Starkiller could completely blow and we would be caught in the blast.

As I kept watching behind me, I saw the planet sized weapon fold in on itself, like it was consuming itself as solar flare sized eruptions broke out before a tremendous explosion filled my cockpit view and now the planet has become a new star with no planets orbiting it.

"We did it brother…" Tyler's voice called to me through comms as I could tell he had tears in his eyes as he must be witnessing the most beautiful sight he has ever seen.

"Yeah, wherever mom and dad are, they're finally at peace…" I had to shed a tear as well as Poe's voice then came on, overjoyed like the rest of us were.

"Our job's done here." Poe explaining happily. "Let's go home."

As I was in the back, wanting to see the destruction of the weapon that took mom and dad a little longer, I saw only Tyler and Tally besides me and in front of us, the ship that took our ground team and four other X-Wings. We completed our mission and saved many lives because of our success, but at the same time the cost was too heavy, a burden I knew I had to bear with, I just hoped that in the long run those who sacrificed their lives to bring down this weapon would be worth it in the end.

Watching the ships in front of me start to enter into hyperspace, I took a deep breath as I hoped all the deaths were not in vain I hit the button as the blackness of space into into a white tunnel of white, then blue as we headed back to D'Qar with victory and a new hope for the galaxy.

And with that, Starkiller is destroyed and the Resistance has won a major victory in this new war!

I hope you all don't mind the short nature of this chapter, I wish I could make it a little longer… But other than that, I hope you enjoyed and…

See everybird later!
