Chapter 5
Plan to Leave
Galen was just coming home from work the next night. He had just learned something awful about the weapon he was building. How was he going to tell his girls this? Especially Lyra?
Lyra would be the tough one to tell. She cares about peace a lot. She's been like that since she was sixteen. She would do anything for peace.
But what could she do about this?
Galen walked into his bedroom. He saw Lyra tinkering with an object. This was the object she needed the kyber crystal for. He grinned at her.
"How's it going?" Galen asked, referring to the object.
Lyra stood up. "Well, what do you think?" She asked.
She held out the object in front of her. Suddenly, a green blade came out of the object. Galen's eyes widened at the sight of it.
"It looks great!" He exclaimed.
Lyra smiled at her husband. "Thanks. I was expecting the color to change though. It's been a while since I had my first," she said.
"It doesn't matter. Green suits you," Galen said.
Lyra chuckled as she turned off her lightsaber. She sat down in the bed and suddenly looked glum.
Galen sat down next to her and rubbed her back. "What's wrong?"
"I think that the girls are Force-Sensitive. They got it from me. I can feel it," Lyra said.
Galen's eyes widened. "I always knew there was a possibility," he said.
Lyra gave her husband a worried look. "What if Darth Vader finds out? Or worse, the Emperor? I don't want the girls to become Sith pawns or Inquisitors," she said.
Galen took her hands. "Lyra, calm down! We just need to protect them as best as we can!" He said.
Lyra sighed and looked down. "I know. I'm sorry. I shouldn't let my emotions take control of me. You're right. We just need to keep our daughters away from any Inquisitors, Darth Vader, and the Emperor."
Galen nodded. Then an idea popped up into his head. "You know, we can always go into hiding," he said.
Lyra looked at her husband with wide eyes. "And drop everything? This would jeopardize your job! I can't do that to you!" She exclaimed.
Galen gave her a stern look. Now was the time to tell her the truth about the weapon.
"I should have never taken that job. This weapon kills people, Lyra. In the most horrific way ever," he said.
Lyra gave him a look. "What do you mean?" She asked, worriedly.
"The Death Star kills people by destroying an entire planet. The crystals create the laser that kills planets. I'm the one responsible though," Galen explained.
Lyra sighed. "I guess we should go into hiding. It's not finished, is it?" She asked.
Galen shook his head. Lyra sighed with relief. As long as the Death Star was incomplete, they still had hope. This Death Star can't exist so planets can still exist.
"What are we going to tell the girls?"
...
Jyn and Jenny were playing with their dolls in their room. Jenny was feeling a lot better from yesterday. She claimed that the soup was a healing potion.
They were playing Rebel vs Imperial. So far, the Imperial was winning.
"I'm going to destroy you, like the bad guy I am!" Jyn said, shaking her stormtrooper doll.
"Oh no you're not!" Jenny said. She pretended to shoot the stormtrooper. Then Jyn made the Stormtrooper drop dead.
Jenny cheered and then started to tackle her sister. "I beat you again!" She cheered.
Jyn laughed and tried to tackle back. They were both like that when their parents came in. They looked very serious.
When the girls saw them, they stopped tackling each other. They sat up and looked at their parents.
"What's wrong?" Jyn asked.
Lyra sighed. "We are going into hiding," she said.
Jenny's eyes widened. "WHAT?! But we like Coruscant!" She yelled.
"I know you do, sweetheart. But this job isn't working out for me. The Empire will kill us all. The weapon I made building is a planet killer. It's not finished yet, but if I go into hiding, it'll stop being built," Galen explained.
Jyn and Jenny looked at each other in shock. A planet killer?! What kind of weapon was that?! Why would the Empire even want a weapon like that?!
"We are going to Lah'Mu. We are going to have a peaceful life," Lyra continued.
"And if the Empire does find us, we will find a safe bunker for you girls to hide in," Galen finished.
Jyn and Jenny were confused. Why would the Empire find them if they are in hiding? Do they think they will be found someday?
Hopefully not!
A/N: Well, now the Erso's are going in hiding now!
I think Lyra is already explained to you now. I did a show not tell thingamajig.
Niw I will be showing life on the farm. It will probably be chapter ten when Krennic finds them.
I hope you enjoyed! Please review!
