They stopped a floor above the hangar but she could already hear the fighting below her.

Rey took one step forward and was pushed down immediately.

"Stay down!"

Ben had one arm locked over her waist and the other on the back of Finn's head, keeping them both down.

The explosion was seconds later, bursting the hall into flames.

Rey started coughing from the smoke that already started to greet them.

The doors to the elevator were on fire. Where can they go?

Ben helped her up. Finn stood and brushed his jacket off. He took up his dropped blaster.

"This way," Ben said.

"That's the traitor! And the girl!"

Blasters started to go off behind them.

The word didn't get around not to shoot at her?!

They started running down the hall.

Ben stopped and pulled a piece of metal off the wall with the Force and shoved it back at them.

"Keep going!"

There was a utility closet and a ladder at the end of the hall. Everything must've been down the other way.

Rey started climbing down. That's where the ships were.

She waited for Finn and Ben to follow.

"You!"

Rey whipped around.

Rose was charging at her with what looked like a stolen electrified staff from a stormtrooper.

Rey reached behind her to where she shoved her blaster but it wasn't there. Where's the damn blaster?!

Rose charged her and knocked her down. Rose kept Rey down with her knees.

"I knew we couldn't trust you!"

Rey cried out as the heat of the electric pike grew closer to her face.

She pushed Rose off and over her with a knee to her stomach. Rey hopped onto her feet and searched for a weapon.

It was too late. Rose was charging at her with full force again.

Rey hopped out of the way and grabbed the pike with both hands, pushing it sideways.

She started pushing against the other girl with all her might.

"You should've never come back!" Rose yelled.

Rey growled.

She heard Ben coming down the ladder.

Once she heard his feet on the floor, she kicked Rose back and called his saber to her. Rey ignited the saber.

"You are traitorous bantha fodder!"

Rey swung down but Rose used the pike to block her blow.

"What the hell?!"

Ben and Finn were frozen.

"Guys! Don't stand there! Do something!"

Finn ran to Rose, holding her back.

Ben pulled out the blaster she had.

"Where'd you get that?"

"I picked it up after the explosion in the hall."

Makes sense. She must've dropped it there.

He tugged on her elbow.

"Come on. He can handle her."

Rose hadn't looked at Rey yet.

"Let's go."

She took his hand as they ran to the other side of the hangar. Her hold on his saber was tight as they veered around the corner.

"Oh, shit!"

Ben skidded to a stop, throwing his arm back to keep her against the wall.

"What?"

He shook his head, peering around the corner.

"It's a madhouse."

It was so loud but her ears have been ringing all day from explosions she couldn't tell what was where.

"Ben. Let's just do it."

He nodded and kissed her forehead.

"I love you."

She smiled, squeezing his hand in hers.

"I know."

Ben turned around and she ignited his saber.

Once they walked out from behind the wall, all the attention turned to them. The shouts were endless.

No one stopped for them. They stared but kept killing.

Ben shot his blaster while also redirecting other's shots. Rey was swinging the red saber to deflect oncoming shots from hitting them.

It was almost in slow motion as they fought against everyone together.

Them against the Galaxy.

"Rey!"

Poe started walking towards her very quickly.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me you were working with the First Order the whole time."

"I wasn't." She raised the crackling red saber in defense.

He nodded. "I'm sure. But it's a shame it turned out like this."

He raised a blaster to her but a swinging fist met his jaw, making him fall onto his back.

"It's not a crime to fall in love you piece of shit."

She let out a heavy breath she was holding. Thank goodness Ben was on her side.

Rey turned off his saber and rushed to Poe's side.

He was coming around, opening and closing his mouth and rubbing his cheek.

"I think your boyfriend broke my jaw."

"Poe, get out of here. Take away the fleet. Ben and I, we're leaving."

"Rey, we can't just let them rise up and-"

"We're killing each other off! Is this what the Resistance originally intended? Let it end, Poe. Let it go." He looked around, watching his allies and comrades kill and be killed.

He closed his eyes and laid back.

"Fine. You win. I'll call it off."

She stood up.

"Rey, I better not regret this."

She shook her head with a smile twitching at her lips. "You won't."

Poe pulled out a comm and started giving instructions to leave.

"Ben."

He glanced over his shoulder to her.

She couldn't leave without knowing she tried.

It is finally going to end. Resistance fighters started to pull back, going back to their ships.

He could tell. He lowered his blaster and turned to her, opening his arms.

She started to run to him until her world stopped.
