Chapter 3
They were jolted awake a few hours later by a loud banging sound.
''Rey, Finn, wake up!''
They opened the door to revel a frantic Allana.
''What's going on,'' asked Finn sleepily.
''Storm troopers are starting to search houses. I need to get you guys to your ship now!''
''Aren't we far enough away from the center of town,'' Rey asked, pulling on her boots.
''Apparently not. Meet me at the speeder in five.''
Rey, Finn, Poe, BB-8, and Chewbacca rushed to gather their things. Allana was waiting for them when they got to the speeder.
''Get in,'' she said quickly. ''The sooner we leave, the sooner you guys will be safe.''
They climbed in and she slammed the hatch closed on top of them. They could hear her having a muffled conversation with Chewbacca as they loaded crates into the speeder. The engine roared to life and they sped towards the hangers.
…
Chewbacca pulled the hatch open and Poe, Finn, and Rey climbed out. Allana was talking quietly on a comlink. She walked over to them, her mouth drawn into a tight line. As soon as Poe saw her face he asked, ''what's wrong?''
''There are still troopers in the hangers. You will have to find someway to get around them. Rajl already got your clearance to leave, so all you have to do is make it to your ship.''
''How many troopers,'' Rey asked, already reaching for her light saber.
''Oh, about twenty,'' said Allana as she nervously stared to the ground.
Chewbacca groaned and Poe cursed under his breath.
''You've got to be kidding me,'' Finn said.
Allana straightened at the sound of footsteps. ''You guys have to leave. Now!''
Rey, Finn, Chewbacca, and BB-8 started running towards the hangers but stopped when they realized Poe wasn't with them.
They turned and saw him and Allana having a heated argument. He grabbed her hand, but she yanked it away. Allana made some gestures for him to leave, and he slowly started to run towards them, but not before kissing her cheek softly.
''What the hell man,'' asked Finn.
''I had to try to get her to come back to the base and make up with her mother. I should have known she wouldn't listen. Lets go.''
They ran the rest of the way to the hangers and stopped right in front of the Falcon.
What's the plan?
''If we fire at them it will just bring more over here…'' Poe said.
''And there's too many of them for us to sneak in, '' said Rey.
''What if we try to hide behind those crates, and make a run for it when they aren't paying attention,'' asked Finn, pointing towards the crates.
That's a really bad idea...
''But it's the best one we've got,'' finished Rey.
They slowly crept towards the crates, and hid behind them for a minute before they dared to look towards the ship again. Finn slowly raised his head. ''Guys…'' he said slowly, ''they're gone.''
''What,'' asked Rey and Poe at the same time.
They wouldn't just leave. There must be some explanation for this.
''Freeze.''
They looked at each other and slowly turned around. The storm troopers that were guarding the ship had surrounded them.
''Stand up,'' the trooper barked, ''and put down your weapons.''
They stood up and placed their weapons on the ground reluctantly.
''Good,'' said the trooper. ''You are under arrest.''
''For what,'' said Rey icily.
Before the trooper could respond, a blaster shot rang out, and the trooper fell down dead. They quickly reached for their weapons as the other troopers looked for the source of the shot. Finn, Poe, and Chewbacca fired shots at the troopers, Rey cut them down with her light saber, and BB-8 shocked the troopers to prevent them from firing. The person who had fired the first shot kept firing until they were all dead. Poe turned to the source of the shots and when he saw whom it was, he smiled. ''I knew you would come.''
''What can I say,'' Allana said as she stepped out from the shadows, '' you know I could never say no to you.'' Rey and Finn exchanged a look. ''It looks like I came just in time. You would have been dead if I hadn't come.''
''You saved our lives we get it,'' Finn said, ''lets get out of here before anymore storm troopers get here.''
They made a mad dash for the ship. More storm troopers came running, and started firing at them. Allana reached the ship first and let the ramp down. ''You guys get on first, I'll hold them off.''
They ran up the ramp as Allana fired at the remaining troopers. A blaster bolt hit her shoulder, and she cried out in pain.
''Allana,'' Poe screamed from the Falcon.
She fired one last shot and ran into the Falcon.
''Finn come with me to the gunnery,'' Poe said already making his way there,'' Allana, go to the cockpit.''
She ran to the cockpit, and upon seeing her, Rey got up from the pilots seat, and motioned for her to sit down. ''It's your father's ship. You should fly it.''
Allana nodded gratefully and slid in to the seat. ''Finn, Poe, do you read me,'' she asked into her headset.
''We read you,'' they responded in unison.
''Strap in,'' she said to Rey, ''it's going to be a rough ride.''
The Falcon shot out of the hanger. ''TIE Fighters on the left,'' Rey shouted.
''We're on it,'' Finn yelled.
''Chewie, are you done with those calculations yet,'' Allana asked, pushing some buttons.
Not yet. Have some patience cub.
''Kriff,'' Allana muttered under her breath, as a blast from a TIE Fighter shook the ship. ''This is not a time for patience. Boys, pay more attention.''
Done
Allana pulled the lever, but nothing happened. She hit the controls and groaned. She shot up from her seat and handed her headset to Rey. ''Pilot the ship for me. I'm going to see if I can fix the hyper drive.''
Another blast shook the ship. ''We lost the rear deflector shield,'' Rey called from the cockpit, ''try to eliminate some of those TIEs.''
''We're working on it,'' yelled Finn, ''why aren't we jumping to light speed.''
''It's broken. I'm working on it, '' Allana said, ''try it now Rey.''
''Nothing.''
''Kriff.''
''Got one,'' said Poe.
''Good. You almost done with the hyper drive Allana,'' asked Rey.
''Almost there.''
Try short-circuiting it.
''That's what I'm doing. I know how to do this Chewie. Try it now.''
A blast shook the ship as Rey pulled the lever. Allana and BB-8 went sliding and hit the wall as the ship shot into hyperspace.
