Resistance Base…
"...and then Ellie, Finn, and myself will board the ship and we'll get the hell out of there," Poe said, finishing his explanation of the plan to rescue Ellie. Poe was ecstatic over the support he was getting. He was sure Ellie would appreciate it as well.
He didn't mention how Poe would get Ellie out of Ren's control, and he hoped nobody would ask, because he honestly didn't know. When Leia told him he may have a bit of the Force in him, and in turn, there should be some of the Force with Ellie, Poe became extremely confused. He was just going to wing it whenever the time rolled around.
"Poe, you never told us how you're going to get Ellie to come with you," said Snap gently, knowing the subject might be sensitive for him.
Poe had a moment of internal panic. Just the question he didn't want asked.
"Well, I'm going to do what Luke Skywalker did. I'm going to convince her to come back with me."
He glanced over and saw General Organa smile in approval. Poe had a feeling something would go awfully wrong, but he believed in the Force. Hopefully the Force believed in him.
"So," Finn asked, "when are we leaving?"
Poe glanced at General Organa.
"Go get ready, you're leaving as soon as everyone is ready," Organa ordered, ending the debriefing.
They all scattered, and Poe and BB-8 went as fast as they could to the ship they were using. BB-8 chirped happily as they boarded his ship.
"I know!" Poe exclaimed, as his round friend had spoke of it's excitement to see Ellie. "I can't wait!"
Luke's Island...
"Oh no…" Luke said. "Oh no, oh no, oh no…"
"What's wrong?" Rey asked, coming inside one of the stone buildings where Luke was.
"I didn't expect this."
"What's going on?" Rey asked again.
"Snoke. He just had to get involved."
"Master Skywalker, what's going on?" Rey asked yet again. She hated it when he got cryptic.
"Snoke summoned Ellie, and now Poe is going in blind."
"What's Snoke going to do?" Rey asked.
"I'm not sure, but I'm hoping he hasn't detected the same thing we have."
"About Ellie having the Force?"
"Yes."
"Maybe not," Rey replied hopefully.
"Let's just hope Ellie is strong enough to resist Snoke," Luke said, almost a forlorn tone in his voice.
