UNKNOWN

"This scavenger, resisted you?" Snoke asked.

"She's strong with the Force, untrained but stronger than she knows."

"And the droid?

Kylo Ren hesitates to reveal the truth. Then-.

"Ren believed it was no longer valuable to us."

Ren turns back - Hux enters the large space, moves to the platform beside Ren.

"That the girl was all we needed. As a result, the droid has most likely been returned to the hands of the enemy. They may have the map already."

Snoke is visibly furious.

"Then the Resistance must be destroyed before they get to Skywalker."

"We have their location. We tracked their reconnaissance ship to the Ileenium system."

"Good. Then we will crush them once and for all. Prepare the weapon."

Kylo Ren is stunned by the moment - that isn't what he meant at all.

"Supreme Leader. I can get the map from the girl. I just need your guidance."

"If what you say about this girl is true, bring her to me."

PRISON

"Come on, keep fighting! They`ll come off eventually!" I tried telling myself while struggling with the restraints. "Oh who am I kidding? I`ll never get out of here!" I stopped struggling. "Wait," I thought. "Didn't Rey say that Jedi could manipulate the minds of others?" I thought, remembering the old stories Rey entertained me with. "If I could manipulate his mind and find his fears, I can manipulate others."

I calmed myself and prepared. "You will remove these restraints, and leave with the cell door open." I said, with a surprising amount of confidence.

I could feel the Stormtroopers gaze fall on me "What?" He questioned and step by step, came closer to face in front of me.

I stared straight into his eyes, at least where I thought they were, and said adding more authority "You will remove these restraints, and leave with the cell door open."

He moved a few inches closer to me. "Did it work? Or is he going to blow my head off?"

"I`ll tighten those restraints, scavenger scum!" He spat.

I stared at him longer, this time, finally unlocking his mind. I bit my tongue to not smirk.

"You will remove these restraints, and leave with the cell door open." I said again.

There was a slight pause, until- "I will remove these restraints and leave with the cell door open."

He reaches down and unlatches the restraints, freeing me, "This is my chance to run," I froze for a few moments, shocked that I was successful. Seconds later, I heard him leaving. Remembering that he had a weapon, I froze but yelled to him.

"And drop your weapon!"

"And I will drop my weapon," He said while I heard the blaster fall to the floor.

I carefully stood up and made sure the trooper was gone; he was. I sneaked out of my little prison while picking up the gun and carefully rushing away from that hell. A minute later, I heard shouts and curses coming from where I ran. I never looked back.

D`QAR

Finn and Rey, now members of the inner circle of the Resistance, are huddled with the group around the map table, which displays a wireframe hologram of a rolling view of surface of Star Killer Base. With them are Han, Leia, Poe, C-3PO, Ackbar, Brance, Snapp, Major Emmet, Nien Numb, and others.

Poe began, "The scan data from Snap's reconnaissance flight confirms Finn and Rey`s report."

"They've somehow created a hyper light speed weapon built within the planet itself." Snap confirmed.

"A laser cannon?" Brance asked.

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

"It's another Death Star." Major Emmet said, remembering disturbing events.

"I wish that were the case, Major." Poe said, he hits a control. A Wireframe of the Death Star appears. "this was the Death Star." Poe hits another control, the Death Star SHRINKS, and shrinks and shrinks, as the Surface Area of the Starkiller Base is drawn into a larger image, revealing the entire base planet. The Death Star is a minuscule satellite in comparison.

"This is Starkiller Base." Poe continued. This is news to many here, and they're stunned.

"So it's big." Han stated.

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

"It uses the power of the sun. As the weapon is charged, the sun is drained until it disappears." Finn told.

An officer runs up, hands Leia a Data Card,

Leia`s eyes fall on the card "The First Order: they're charging the weapon again, now." Her hearts sinks. "Our system is the next target."

"Oh my. Without the Republic fleet, we're doomed." 3PO panicked. They all react to this horrible news.

"Okay, how do we blow it up?" Han asked, all eyes fell on him. "There's always a way to do that."

But no one has anything. Leia watches the silence, frustrated.

"Han's right."

"In order for that amount of power to be contained, that base would need some kind of thermal oscillator." Rey stated.

Finn turns to her "There is one." All eyes on Finn as he moves around the hologram to a location on the Star Killer Base and zoom in.

"Precinct 47. Here." He points. "If we can destroy that oscillator, it might de-stabilize the core and cripple the weapon."

"Maybe the planet." Major Emmet begins.

Poe then tries to bolster spirits, looking at the big hexagonal structure, the Oscillator.

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

"They have defensive shields that our ships cannot penetrate." Admiral Ackbar states.

Rey looks to him "We disable the shields."

Han turns to Finn "Kid, you worked there, what do you got?"

"I can do it." Finn confidently says.

Han smiles "I like this guy,"

"I can disable the shields. But we have to be there, on the planet." Finn ushers Rey.

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

"Han, how?" Leia asked.

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

"So we disable the shields, take out the oscillator and we blow up their big gun. All right. Let's go!" Everyone splits after Poe`s comment.

HANGERS, RESISTANCE BASE

Pilots inspect crafts, including Snap, Nien Nunb, and Poe at his black-marked X-wing. Mechanics make adjustments as Crews fuel the jets. Ground controllers move ships into takeoff formation. Pilots prep their ships, including BB-8, who is PULLED INTO Poe's black X-wing. Finn and Rey, wearing a woolen jacket, approaches Poe wearing the jacket and Poe slaps Finn's shoulder and waves to Rey as he heads off. Finn watches Poe, despite it all, they laugh a little.

Chewie, Rey, and Finn follow Han's orders as they prepare the Falcon for one more daring run, maybe its last.

"Chewie, check that donal capitator. Come on. Let's go. Kids, be careful with those - they're explosives." Han ordered.

"Now you tell me?" Finn asked, causing Rey to smirk at him.

"No matter how much we fought, I've always hated watching you leave." Han looks over, there's Leia.

"That's what I did it. So you'd miss me."

She laughs moves up close to him. "I did miss you."

He looks at her, says sweetly, out of the blue: "It wasn't all bad, was it? Huh? Some of it was...good."

"... Pretty good."

"Some things never change."

She smiles. "True. You still drive me crazy."

Han places his hands on her shoulders. It could be thirty years ago. They both know there's a good chance he won't make it back. They pull each other tight, holding for dear life. Quietly, longingly.

"If you see our son again, bring him home." She whispers.

STARKILLER BASE

"Sir, sensors triggered in hangar 718. We're searching the area." A Stormtrooper comments.

"She's just beginning to test her powers. The longer it takes to find her, the more dangerous she becomes." Klyo Ren confirms, than leaves.

STAR KILLER BASE- HALLWAY

I peered around the corner, clenching the blaster to my chest and ready to shoot if someone was there.

I tiptoed down the hallway and pushed myself to keep going, no matter how much my shoulder hurt.

I suddenly collapsed in the middle of the hallway and rested my hand on my shoulder wound. I took my hand off and saw it nearly completely covered in blood, my blood. I needed to stitch it up or it would become infected. I`m not looking forward to it, but I know it won`t happen anytime soon. Instead, I carefully ripped some of my dress and tied it around my shoulder. After I tightened it, I stood myself up and limped.

MILLENIUM FALCON

Flying at light speed, Finn, Rey, Chewie, and Han in the cockpit.

"How are we getting in?" Rey asked.

"Their shields have a fractional refresh rate. Keeps anything traveling slower than light speed from getting through." Han says.

Finn and Rey`s face fill with dread. "We`re going to make our landing approach at light speed?!" Finn asked. Chewie let out an excited yelp. Rey`s eyes widened; Finn noticed this.

"What? What did he say?" He asked.

Rey turned to him "'Hell yes we are!'"

"Alright, Chewie, get ready." Han warns. Chewie groans, he's ready. Han studies the Panel Indicators. "And Now!" Chewie and Han hit switches.

The Falcon's environment shifts instantly from light speed to planet atmosphere. It's suddenly flying 100 feet above the snowy, rocky ground, headed for a thick forest!

Chewie let`s out a groan. "I AM PULLING UP!" Han shouts.

But the Falcon has no time. It plows through the trees! It then rises.

Alarms blare as the ship slams through branches and shoots toward the sky! Han does his best to steer, Chewie let`s out another groan.

In the madness, Han yells "I get any higher, they'll see us!" And the ship DIVES again, back into the trees!

A quiet clearing on the forest tree line. Suddenly the Millennium Falcon hurtles out of the forest! From an eruption of branches and pine, the ship dives and slams into the snow! It digs through a thousand yard of white until it finally comes to a canted stop, half buried in the snow!

STAR KILLER BASE

"Sir, she was not found in hangar 718 but all troops are on alert." An officer said.

"Put every hangar on lock-down. She's going to try to steal a ship to-."

Suddenly, Kylo senses something. Something familiar.

"Han Solo..."

OUTSIDE

Han, Finn, Rey and Chewie cross the terrain. Walkers appear on the horizon. Han, Rey, Finn and Chewie take cover behind a base structure. Chewie carries a black duffel bag of explosives.

"The flooding tunnels are over that ridge, we`ll get in that way." Finn pointed.

"Wait," Rey began "what was your job when you were based here?"

Finn looked down at the ground for a few seconds, then looked back up "Sanitation,"

"Sanitation?! Then how do you know how to disable the shields?" Han asked.

"I don`t. We`re just here to get Rachel,"

"People are counting on us! The galaxy is counting on us-!"

"Solo, we'll figure it out! We'll use the Force!" Finn said, full of hope.

"That`s not how the force works!"

Chewie let`s out a small moan.

"Oh really, you`re cold?" Han remarks.

"Come on!" Rey whispers as Finn led the snowy hike. On the horizon, the laser dry siphon shooting into the sky, slowly sucking the sun dry.

STAR KILLER BASE- CONTROL ROOM

Technicians at work, the sun sucking seen in the window behind him.

"Report." General Hux speaks.

"Weapon charged in fifteen minutes, sir." An officer told.

STAR KILLER BASE- CORRIDOR 4

A Stormtrooper waits to board a Transport Compartment. The door whooshes open. Han, Finn, Rey, and Chewie are there!

"Hey!" The trooper begins. He fumbles for his blaster but Chewie shoots first. The Trooper flies back, dead. Chewie drags him out of sight. Han, Rey, and Finn peer around a corner, wary.

"The longer we're here, less luck we're going to have. The shields?" Han asks Finn.

"I have an idea about that." He answered. The three of them follow Finn.

STAR KILLER BASE- CORRIDOR

Captain Phasma heads down a corridor, distant Stormtroopers. Suddenly Phasma is T-Boned hard and fast and shoved by Chewie.

And now we're in a narrow cross-corridor, Chewie with his arms around Phasma, forced to face Finn, who holds his blaster on his former captain. Han stands behind Finn while Rey`s right next to him.

"Remember me?" He asks, in a somewhat mocking tone.

"FN-2187," She says.

"Not anymore. The name's Finn, and I'm in charge. I'm in charge now, Phasma. I'm in charge."

"Alright, Alright, bring it down." Rey tells him.

He smiles at her "Follow me,"
