Hey everybird! What's up!?

So before we get started on today's questions, a warning in this chapter, is that it will be very emotional and I don't blame you if you skip this chapter, but it is a very important moment and to not do it is a crime…

So moving onto today's question…

If they ever decided to bring back Star Wars Resistance, what would you like to see?

Me: I would like to see Tam trying to fit back in and regaining everyone's trust on the Colossus and of course seeing how the Colossus responded to Lando's call for help in going to Exegol.

And moving on to your questions…

From Nightfly123, he asks, "What do you think of Harrison Ford returning as Indiana Jones for Indiana Jones 5?"

Me: Pretty cool, I would be interested to see what happens and wondering why Indy would still continue to do what he did considering that the last Indiana Jones movie, it seemed like he finally decided to calm down and relax. However he might not be the center focus and it could be about his son going off on an adventure.

Chapter 61: One with the Force

(Tyler's POV)

Waking up to someone shaking me, I felt very annoyed and opened my eyes to see Arthur, at first I wanted to snap at him for disturbing my sleep, but seeing his face I knew something was up and wrong…

"What's going on brother?" I asked, concerned as I got up, now alert.

"It's the general…" Arthur taking a deep breath. "She's dying…"

"How?" I said as I couldn't believe it. "Last I saw of her, she was fine…"

"I don't know, but she must have felt something, Grandpa Blu wants us both with him, I fear the worst…" Arthur told me as I quickly got up, rubbing the tiredness out from my eyes as we exited the barracks area in the Tantive IV, climbing down from one of the hatches, Alex and Ashley waiting for us on the ground.

Going to where Grandpa Blu was, he was looking up as we followed his gaze to see the general staring at nothing, like she was in a trance. Looking more closely, I could see the general's beak moving, whispering something several times before she slowly started to fall, to lie down on her back on the bed she was standing next to. Right away, those of us who saw that went straight to her, Arthur and I following Grandpa Blu as the general's wings went limp…

Arriving where the general was, she was completely still, like a statue as her eyes were closed and showed no signs of reopening, medics coming to her as they checked for a pulse… Nothing… The medics shaking their heads slowly as one of them brought over a white blanket and carefully laid it on top of the general, covering her body. With a few of us gathering around the now deceased figure, Maz spoke in a soft voice.

"Goodbye, dear princess…" Maz saying her farewells as I very much felt the same way.

I didn't know the general personally, but hearing all the stories and well joining the resistance and having her be our leader, it was a heavy blow, only mom and dad's passing having affected me more. Now that the general was gone, what would happen…

I, along with everyone else, was so lost and downbeat that even when I heard the familiar sound of the Falcon's engines as that ship finally returned from its mission, I couldn't move at first. Finally I decided standing where I was, was only going to make me feel worse as Arthur and I left as we saw Poe, Finn, and Chewie coming in.

"Good to see you made it back in one piece Poe." Arthur trying his best smile.

"That's one thing we managed to do…" Poe sighed. "Rey left us and we couldn't get the wayfinder…" Poe replied, adding to the already bad news.

"So what now?" I asked.

"I have no idea…" Arthur said as he looked defeated.

And yet as things couldn't get any worse… A little bit later, with Arthur and I, along with Grandpa Blu, Poe, Rose, and others were at the comms station, a report came in about Kijimi, one of the places Poe went to with the others, was completely destroyed, along with the planet it was on… The memories of seeing the red lights in the sky from Starkiller destrying the Hosnian System coming back to my mind…

"Kijimi…" Poe said out loud in disbelief. "How?"

"A blast from a star destroyer." An older female officer reported. "A ship from the new Sith fleet, out of the unknowns."

"The emperor sent the ship from Exegol, does that mean every ship in the fleet…" The historian guessed.

"Has planet killing weapons, of course they do… All of them, this is how he finishes it." Poe finished as the comms came alive, Rose getting our attention.

"Listen, it's on every frequency." Rose called out as we all came closer.

"The resistance is dead, the Sith flame will burn, all words surrender or die, the Final Order begins…" The historian translating the transmission as I knew we were going to be done for… With the Final Order having the ability to destroy the entire galaxy…

"Leia made you acting general, what now?" Rose speaking to Poe as all of us turned to him.

Poe didn't say anything, a massive weight suddenly put on him as he left, I watched him go to where the general's body laid, sitting down next to the bed. I sighed as I had to take a seat myself… What were we going to do, it's not like we could have stood up to the most powerful fleet in the galaxy in the first place. I saw Arthur leave the cave where the main base was as I followed him, to see him having gone to mom's X-Wing, I saw as he put his wing up against the body of the fighter.

"You're not feeling so optimistic too?" I asked as Arthur turned around.

"Yes…" Arthur answered. "It's times like these I wish mom and dad were still here and with us, they would know what to do, I'm not sure how they managed to pull through to the end of their fight."

"Because they didn't give up." Grandpa Blu's voice joined in as he came to us. "Your parents fought, even with the odds against them boys." Grandpa Blu told us. "And they wouldn't want you to give up now, we'll find a way."

And that way came right after as a soldier came running up to us.

"Sirs, we're getting a transmission from Skywalker." The soldier panted out as the three of us rushed over as we were tracking a signal.

"That's an old craft ID." Poe reported. "That's Luke Skywalker's X-Wing." Poe confirmed as I knew that was impossible, Luke Skywalker was gone.

"It's transmitting course marker signals, on it's way to the unknown regions." C-3PO noted as Finn realized something before I could even begin to guess.

"It's Rey." Finn said. "She's going to Exegol. She's showing us, she's showing us how to get there."

"Than we go together." Poe said as with this new development, we now had a real chance to save the galaxy as we gathered up underneath the Tantive IV to discuss how we were going to go about completing this impossible challenge before us.

"As long as those star destroyers are on Exegol, we can hit them." Finn began.

"Hit them how?" Someone asked.

"They can't activate their shields until they leave atmosphere." Rose reported.

"Which isn't easy on Exegol, ships that size need help taking off." Poe added. "Nav can't tell which way's up out there."

"So how do they take off?" Someone else asked.

"They use a signal from a navigation tower, like this one." Poe pressing a button on a remote as a holographic display of a navigation tower came up.

"Except they wouldn't, air team's going to find the tower, ground team's going to blast it." Finn explained, giving my part in this operation.

"Ground team?" Arthur asked.

"I have an idea for that." Finn replied back.

"Once the tower's down, the fleet will be struck with no shields and no way out." Poe saying.

"We think hitting the main cannons will ignite the main reactors." Rose guessed a way to bring down the star destroyers.

"That's our chance." Former General Lando Calrissian, who came shortly before the general's passing, spoke.

"We need to pull some hull down maneuvers, do some real damage." The historian pointed out.

"Come on, that move is one in a million." Finn replied. "Fighters and freighters can take out their cannons if they're enough of us." Finn said as well what could we do, we were only a handful of ships.

"There aren't enough of us." Someone else pointed out in another language.

"He's right, we'll be no more than bugs to them." A female officer agreed with my thoughts.

"That's where Lando and Chewie come in, they'll take the Falcon to the core systems, send out a call for help to anybody listening." Finn answered that.

"We got friends out there." Poe confident. "They'll come if there's hope." Poe said as there were chatters of doubt, the memory of Crait for some must have been on their minds when Poe said this. "They will. First Order wins by making us think we're alone, we're not alone, good people will fight if we lead them."

"Leia never gave up and neither will we." Finn just as confident as Poe was. "We're going to show them we're not afraid."

"What our mothers and fathers fought for, we'll not let die, not today, today we make our last stand, for the galaxy, for Leia… For everyone we lost." Poe urging us as speaking about mothers and fathers really hit me hard, but right now it only gave me strength.

"They taken enough of us, now we take the war to them." Finn finished as we all went to prepare to fly out, starting up engines and doing system checks as I ran up to dad's old X-Wing, Ashley getting in her socket behind the cockpit.

"Ready Ashley?" I asked with a smile, the droid beeping back in a very positive, "Yes!" as I was going to get in the cockpit, but before I could.

"Hey captain, it looks like you're forgetting something." Arthur's voice greeted me as I turned around to see him holding onto dad's helmet as I felt the top of my head and realized that in my excitement I have forgotten it.

"Thanks brother, you know this reminds me of when you forgot your helmet on our graduation day from the academy…" I chuckled as I jumped down from the ladder and took the helmet, looking down at it. "You think we can do this." I asked as I gave a sigh.

"We will, for the galaxy." Arthur putting a wing on my shoulder.

"For mom and dad." I added as I just hugged onto my brother, what may be out last to share. "You're the only real family I have left brother, I love you."

"Love you too little brother." Arthur replied as he hugged me back. "Now lets go and finish this." Arthur said as he broke the hug.

And so with Arthur going to mom's old X-Wing and with me getting into dad's, we started up the engines and lifted off, joining everyone else as we flew off towards Exegol, to our last stand…

And there we go!

I actually didn't expect to get all the way here, but I didn't want to make the chapter too short.

Hopefully, you all don't mind the little rush through the scenes, but can assure you that the final battle wouldn't just be one or two chapters, it'll be at least several.

So see you than and…

See everybird later!
