Hey everybird! What's up!?
Before we get to today's questions, I put the Q and A rules on my profile, on the very top, for a reminder and also there's no excuses if you do break one of them, since it's right there.
Now moving on to today's questions…
There has been some confirmation of a series focusing on Obi-wan Kenobi coming to the future, so what part of his life would you like to see in that series?
Me: I would maybe like to see the time from when he became a Padawan to Qui-Gon Jinn to just before the opening of the Phantom Menace or maybe his life on Tatooine during his exile and watching over Luke as he was growing up.
Now moving on to your questions…
From Nightfly123, he asks, "What was your favourite moment from The Mandalorian?"
Me: That's hard to say, since there are only two episodes so far, but I guess I would say when the Mandalorian fought alongside that droid and literally wiped out a whole small army of criminals.
From T8ECR34TOR, he asks, "Are you okay with my suggestion to make a Rio story about Tyler and Tally?"
Me: Sure buddy, go for it!
From Stormknight089, he asks, "If you saw Jesus face to face, and he asks you, do you think you'll go to heaven, how would you respond?"
Me: Well I'm really not sure, I would like to go to heaven, if I deserve it that is.
Chapter 48: It's Treason Than
(Tyler's POV)
With the remains of the Resistance still running, draining ourselves empty of precious fuel needed to keep us at a safe distance from the First Order, Poe, I, and a few others Poe convinced were preparing to take over if the need arises. With Finn, as well as this mechanic named Rose, having left for Canto Bight, luckily without Admiral Holdo knowing, our fate was laid in their wings. However it was totally a race against time as the first clear signs that our fuel reserves were being depleted came as one of the two remaining escort ships began to slow down and in a few seconds came to a dead stop, starting to drift freely as it was no longer under its own power…
As I was with Poe, we watched as the escort ship was stranded, the crew abandoning ship as a couple of transports made their way to our cruiser. As we watched the ship come within range of the First Order fleet, the star destroyers refocused their fire on it, tearing it apart as it couldn't respond in any way.
"Finn…" I heard Poe say quietly as we continued to watch the helpless ship break apart into several different pieces. "Rose, where are you guys?"
"Poe, we're going to start running on fumes anytime now, we have to do something." I urged my friend, not wanting to wait any longer, that escort ship running out of fuel meant our time would not be long…
"No, we have to wait, I trust Finn, he'll come through." Poe replied back.
"And what if he doesn't?" I raised an eye, casting some doubt.
"You're just going to have to take my word Tyler, if we do this now and Finn comes, we wouldn't be able to make the jump to hyperspace." Poe reminded me. "Come on lets go and try to convince more to join us." Poe told me as we left, away from the depressing view of what was left of the destroyed escort ship.
As we walked through the hallways, we were met by none other than Grandpa Blu, who had a neutral look on his face, but looking right at us as I knew something was up or he knew what was going on…
"Commander Tyler, Captain Dameron…" Grandpa Blu addressed us by our "new" ranks.
"Sir, what is it?" I asked, staying calm.
"I can ask what is going on with you two and some others…" Grandpa Blu replying. "What are you boys up to and don't lie."
"We're going to save the Resistance sir, even if it takes a mutiny." Poe answered.
"Are you two crazy?" Grandpa Blu said sternly. "A mutiny during all of this?"
"Sir, with all due respect, we can't just keep running away, we're eventually going to run out of fuel, at which the First Order will annihilate us without mercy." I pointed out. "And also sir, I'm not fit to fill the commander role and I'm only taking my orders from Commander Dameron until we're safely away." I stated defiantly as Grandpa Blu could only sigh.
"It seems your minds are all made up on this manner…" Grandpa Blu sounding like he was giving in.
"If you're going to try and stop us sir, we have to know." Poe asking.
"I wouldn't stop you two, but I also can't help you when you fail and you're in deep trouble." Grandpa Blu said regretfully.
"We understand completely sir." I didn't argue back as we began to pass Grandpa Blu, Poe first, but as I started to follow Poe, Grandpa Blu stopped me again by speaking to me.
"You know Tyler, you're just like your parents, refusing orders when they think something is right to them." Grandpa Blu told me as I let out a couple of tears and resumed walking, not saying anything.
"I hope this really works…" I told myself in my head as I followed Poe.
A few hours later…
Our last escort ship gave up, having no more fuel left, it became the next victim to the First Order, drifting away from the cruiser towards the massive fleet as the star destroyers pummeled the easy target with turbolaser volleys, destroying it with ease as the ship's crew, abroad a couple of transports escaped to the cruiser.
"That's it!" Poe stood up, not having anymore patience at this point even for him as we watched the escort ship go up in flames.
"Where are you going Poe?" I asked.
"To the bridge, give a piece of my mind to Holdo, get everyone ready, we may have to start the mutiny after all." Poe told me.
"Yes sir." I obeyed as I turned to everyone present that was around. "You heard the man, set your blasters to stun." I told everyone as Poe went to the bridge.
And well coming back after about ten minutes… It didn't look good…
"You don't look happy." I commented on Poe's expression.
"No, we're going to have to do the mutiny after all." Poe told me as he took out his comm unit on his belt, pressing a button as he spoke to Finn. "Finn, Holdo's loading the crew in the shuttle. She's going to abandon ship, where are you?"
"Poe, we're on our way back to the fleet." I heard Finn's voice come from the communicator. "We're so close."
"Did you find the Master Codebreaker?" Poe then asked.
"Well, we found a codebreaker." Finn answered.
"Oh great… That just makes me feel a lot better…" I commented in my head.
We can shut the tracker down. Just buy us a little ore time." Finn urged Poe as Poe sighed, lowering his head before raising it up again to speak.
"Alright, hurry." Poe said more softly as he stood up, having been seated, looking at all of us. "Okay, hopefully Finn can get succeed on his end, it's up to us to prevent the crew from leaving the cruiser and making the jump to hyperspace when the time comes. However there's a chance we could fail and all be put on trail, that is if we make it out of here, if any of you want to back out, now is the time to do so." Poe told us in a very serious tone, no one moving an inch.
"We're all with you Poe." I assured my friend.
So hurrying down to the hangar where all the transports were currently being loaded, the crew rushing around with Admiral Holdo overseeing everything, we all fanned out, while Poe and I, with a few others went to confront the admiral, Poe stepping up.
"Admiral Holdo, you are making a huge mistake." Poe spoke up loudly as the admiral's back was turned to him, Holdo turning around to face him.
"Flyboy… You can never let me rest can you?" Holdo replied.
"Admiral, don't do this, we have a chance to escape the First Order with the cruiser without them knowing…" Poe began as he explained the full plan to Holdo, all the while I was holding onto my blaster pistol, which was in my holster, attached to my belt.
It wasn't going well as Poe hoped…
"So a stormtrooper and a who now are doing what?" Holdo still very much baffled by what Poe told her.
"They are trying to save us." Poe said as he tried his best to urge the admiral to reconsider. "This is our best chance for escape. You have to give Finn and Rose all the time that you can."
"You have bet the survival of the Resistance on bad odds and put us all at risk." Holdo stating and well when she does put it like that, it did sound crazy, but than yet again… My parents were known to place their bets on bad odds and come out victorious. "There's no time now. We have to get clear of the cruiser. Load the transports." The admiral ordered as that was the last straw for Poe…
"Right away, admiral." A crew member replied as she began walking past Poe.
"Yeah, I was afraid you'd say that." Poe said as I knew what they meant, taking out my blaster pistol, which was set to stun, out of my holster. "Vice Admiral Holdo, I am relieving you of your command for the survival of this ship, its crew and the Resistance." Poe officially starting the mutiny as we held our blaster pistols steady towards Holdo and some other officers standing next to her.
"I hope you understand what you're doing." Holdo addressing Poe as Poe put his blaster back in his holster.
"Yeah." Poe confirmed as he turned to me. "I'm going to the bridge. If they move, stun them."
"Understood sir." I replied as Poe brushed past Holdo and the other officers for the bridge, getting ready to make the jump to hyperspace.
So I kept my spot, keeping an eye on Holdo and the other officers, ready to stun any of them if they attempted something, just waiting, keeping alert. As I held my position, the lights in the hangar suddenly shut off as the power in the hangar was gone, Poe having done that to prevent the transports from leaving, but it also made keeping watch over Holdo and the officers a little more difficult.
And well that presented an opportunity for Holdo and the other officers to act as suddenly without me seeing it, Holdo kicked one of the air lines free, the vapor shooting into our faces and blinding us for a few seconds. Which was enough time for Holdo and some other officers to draw out their own blasters and start shooting stun blasts as us. I returned fire, but not being able to see clearly who was on which side as the vapor made things hard to see as stun shots went right and left. I tried my best to aim at those who didn't support the mutiny and were shooting.
Eventually, even with the vapor making things difficult to see, birds were of course still being hit and soon enough it was my turn as a stun shot caught me. Throwing me back against some crates, hitting my head against them, I felt my eyes go heavy as I felt my grip on my blaster loose and let go of it, out of the fight.
It wasn't until what I felt were hours as someone was shaking me awake, speaking loudly to me as the voice was very familiar.
"Hey brother, wake up already!" Arthur's voice said loudly to me as I slowly opened my eyes to see my brother above me, holding onto my shoulders.
"I'm awake!" I shouted. "Where am I? What happened!?" I said as I shot up.
"Are you okay, are you hurt?" Arthur ignored my questions for now as he checked me up and down.
"No, I'm okay, feeling like I hit my head against something, but other than that, I'm fine." I answered.
"Good…" Arthur replied as he then slapped me across the face, hard enough to make me go…
"Ow!" I said in surprise at my brother hitting me. "What was that for!?"
"For doing something crazy when Grandpa Blu told you not to…" Arthur reminded me.
"I guess I deserved that…" I sighed as I looked around, seeing others as I realized something… This didn't look like the inside of the cruiser as I looked out the windows to see other transports and then… The cruiser getting smaller and smaller in my vision. "Brother… Where are we…" I asked in shock.
And I think I'll end it off on there!
Looks like Poe's mutiny failed… And well next chapter, we're going to go back in time a little, see things from Arthur's view!
Also, I hope you enjoyed the reference I made in the title of the chapter…
And with that…
See everybird later!
