Disclaimer Oh how I wish I owned Star Wars. But I own Aviana and Kelsey so it's something.

Chapter 12

Planet D'Qar

Kelsey

I took a few deep breaths as I excused myself from Finn. Everyone was bustling around getting ready for the briefing that was going to happen soon.

All these years she's alive.

I couldn't believe it. I didn't want to but I still can't wrap my head around it.

I looked over and walked towards where Han and Leia were having an intense conversation and when I got there; I only had heard bits of it.

"You think I want to forget him? I want him back," Leia said.

"There's nothing more we could've done. There was too much Vader in him," Han said to her.

"That's why I wanted him to train with Luke," Leia pointed out. "I just never should have sent him away. That's when I lost him. That's when I lost you both."

"Leia," I said as they both turned towards me. "Don't blame yourself. The both of you. We all knew Ben was different but we didn't expect him to go over the dark side."

"Kels, we both had to deal with it our own way. I went back to the only thing I was good at doing," he said.

"We both did."

"We lost our son...forever."

"No. It was Snoke. He seduced our son to the dark side," Leia said. "But we can still save him. You. Me."

"We're not giving up," I said.

"If Luke couldn't reach him, how could I?" Han asked.

"Luke's a Jedi. You're his father. I can see the good in him still," Leia replied.

"Listen guys, I know that this maybe a bit of a bad time but there's something you should know..."

"General? We're ready, " a young commander said.

"Thank you and Kelsey, you can tell us later," Leia said, leaving me and Han.

"Sis you alright You look like you saw a ghost or something," Han asked.

I shook my head as I plastered a fake smile on. "I'm fine really," I replied. "I'll tell you after."

-LINE BREAK-

"So basically we're going after another planet again?" I asked.

"Finn here reported that this weapon is much larger than any planets in the system," Poe replied. "As we all know, the scan from Snap's reconnaissance flight confrims Finn's reports."

A hologram displayed the system in the galaxy as we all gathered around during the briefing. I had my arms crossed over my chest as I stood next to Han and Chewie.

"They've somehow created a hyper lightspeed weapon built within the planet itself," Snap explained.

"A laser cannnon?" Major Brance asked fearfully.

"That's impossible is it?" I inquired as I tried to keep calm.

"We're not sure how to describe a weapon of this scale," Snap replied.

"It's another Death Star," Major Ematt said.

"I wish that was the case," Poe replied as he typed in a few things. A hologram of the Death Star appeared. "This was the Death Star." Then Poe again typed in something which showed a planet much bigger, probably five times bigger than the Death Star. " This is Starkiller Base."

A whoosh of gasps filled the room as I studied both planets intently.

"So it's big," Han said all to casually which caused me to roll my eyes and gave him the side eye.

"Yeah Han real easy for you to say," I said.

"How is it possible to power a weapon of this size?" Admiral Ackbar asked.

"It uses the power of the sun," Finn replied, stepping forward. "As the weapon's charged, the sun is drained until it disappears."

Before I said anything else, I saw someone approach Leia with a datacard as he handed it to her. From the look on Leia's face it turned grim almost immediately after she got it.

"It's the First Order," she announced grimly. "They're charging the weapon again as we speak. Our system is their next target."

"Oh my without the Republic Fleet, we're doomed," Threepio said.

"Okay so how do we blow it up? There's always a way to do it," Han asked.

"Han's right," Leia said, which shocked both Han and myself. Well, more Han than me but he doesn't need to know that.

"Yeah I mean there has to be something to blow it up," I pointed out.

"In order for that amount of power to be contained, the base would need some kind of thermal oscillator," Admiral Statura said.

"There's one," Finn said, working with the Starkiller Base hologram until he got to where he wanted to show us. "Precinct 47 right here."

"If we can destroy that oscillator, it might destabilize the core and cripple the weapon," Admiral Statura pointed out.

"Maybe the whole planet," Ematt agreed.

"It could work," I said. "This is our chance before they go one step ahead of us."

"We'll go in there and we'll hit that oscillator with everything we got," Poe said.

"They got defensive shields that our ships cannot penetrate!" Ackbar noted.

"So we disable the shields," Han said shrugging his shoulders. "Kid, you worked there what do you got?"

"I can do it," Finn said after a pause.

"I like this guy" Han said as I raised an eyebrow.

"I can disable the shields; but I have to be there on the planet," he said.

"We'll get you there," Han said.

"Han how?" Leia asked with concern laced in her voice.

"Yes brother how do you plan on getting there?" I asked.

"If I told you, you wouldn't like it," he replied.

Oh that helps so much.

"So we disable the shields, take out the oscillator and we blow up their big gun," Poe said.

With Chewie giving out a growl, everyone agreed to the plan and we all went different ways in order to prepare our biggest battle yet.

-LINE BREAK-

"Hey careful with those, they're explosives," Han said to Finn.

"Now you tell me?" Finn asked in an exasperated tone as I tried to hide a laugh.

"Are you sure you're not coming?" Han asked.

"You know I have to help out here and plus..."

"Oh right. The knee injury," he said.

"Yeah and you know how itching I am to get back out there," I said.

I turned away as I saw everyone getting everything together to go to Starkiller Base. It killed me not going out to battle like I used to back in the day. But ever since I got hurt the last time I was faced with the First Order, I was on ground duty until then.

"Hey sis," Han's voice said, interrupting my thoughts. I turned to face him and saw he looked remorse for some reason. "I'm sorry. For what happened years ago with Ben."

"Han don't. Don't for once think that Luke and I blame you for what happen," I said. "We tried our best to help Ben and for whatever reason, Snoke got to him."

"I just wish that..."

"Don't. We just need to get our kids back," I told him.

"No matter how many times we fought," Leia's voice rang out as she approached us. "I've always hated watching you leave."

"That's why I did it. So you did miss me," Han said.

"I did miss you," she said.

"Guys really. I think I'm going to puke," I said.

Han gave me the side eye glare as he stepped closer to Leia. Seeing them brings me back to a time when Luke and I had everything. Of course we had taken Ben in at the time he was at the Academy but I wouldn't trade that for anything.

I saw as Han pulled Leia into a hug that I wanted nothing more than wanting to be in Luke's arms right now. I honestly don't know how I feel. After they pulled away, I walked over slowly towards them and wrapped my arms around my brother.

"Bring them home," I said. "And be safe, will you? I want my family back home safe."

Please not only bring Ben back but the girls I thought to myself.

It wasn't until after all the ships have taken off it was me and Leia standing.

"I hope this works," I said.

"It has to," Leia said. "Kelsey, about earlier; what were you going to say?"

I looked over at my sister-in-law with wondering eyes before it hit me. She doesn't know about Rey.

"You know Rey, the girl that was taken along with Avi?" I asked as Leia nodded.

As we walked back, I then procceded to tell her about Rey.

A/n Gah I know I'm horrible. School started up and I got personal things going on (not so good ones) at the moment so I'm almost at my wits end but I'm trying to perservere as best as I can and hopefully things will calm down soon.

In the meantime, next chapter Aviana and Kylo will face off. I wonder how that's going to go down. *shifts eyes*

Anyways, thank you all for your never ending patience and support! Next week no update since I'll be at Comic-Con next weekend! Super psyched for that!

Hope to see you all soon!
