Once the freighter roared from Jakku off to space, Rey excitedly unbuckles her seatbelt and hurries back as Amelia follows slowly and watches her friend racing past BB-8, who is retracting his safety restraints. Finn, adrenalized, climbs from the turret, meets Rey in the lounge of the ship. Finn and Rey were just staring at each other now, seeing something odd, weird, and wonderful on what they did. Amelia just watched the two with a slight grin, seeing how totally inexperienced in joy and camaraderie. That was when they caught BB-8's attention, who was beeping something urgent.
Rey turns to the droid and kneels to check on him as she asked. "You're okay? He's with the Confederation. He's going to get you home. We all will."
"And then we get ourselves somewhere far far away where the First Order cannot find us." Amelia spoke out immediately.
Rey stood up and stared at Amelia in shock and confusion. "Why? Why didn't you tell me you were a Jedi?"
Amelia sighed as she walked pass her and Finn. "Cause you didn't need to know."
"But why would you be so far away from your own people?" Rey asked her.
"They are not my people, and they are not my concern." Amelia responded sharply and calmed herself down. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just wanted to keep it that way, but now you know what I am." She turns to stare at them for a moment with an unhappy look on her face. "But I'm not one of them anymore. Let's just leave it at that. Okay?"
"Fine." Finn spoke, raising his hands and lowered them quick, and turned away. "I won't say anything."
"Well, we are going back to Jakku after we help this Confederation soldier in taking BB-8 back to his hidden base." Rey said to her.
"Fine." Amelia sighed in disappointment.
"I'm going to fly this ship." Rey decided since she was a talented pilot and walked back to the cockpit. "Let me know when BB-8 tells us the coordinates and well head there immediately."
"Will have to be fast." Finn said hastily. "I just don't want the First Order to be tracking us."
"Relax." Amelia calmly urged him. "Will get you and this droid back. Speaking of which, why is the First Order tracking down this droid?"
"Apparently he has two maps." Finn told her. "One map leads to where the Jedi are and another to Luke Skywalker."
Amelia froze herself in shock when she heard the name 'Luke' and didn't even say a word.
"Was it something I said?" Finn asked her. "Or... I think maybe you knew this guy before you..."
"Yeah, I know." Amelia cut him off by spinning her head around to look at Finn. "And yes... I do know Luke. He was one of my mentors." She paused a moment and let out a slight sigh. "Things didn't go well after I decided to leave."
"What made you want to go?" Finn wondered.
"About ten years ago, before I met Rey, I was going to visit my mother on Hapes." Amelia began. "But when I came, I was torn apart when my mother was killed by this deadly assassin who was quite brutal and strong in the Force. I nearly let out my rage and hate towards my mother's killer, but the only thing is... I wasn't strong enough and I nearly gave myself to the dark side just as my father had a long time ago. I blamed myself for my mother's death and violating the code, and then I end up on this junkyard planet and try to change my life around. You know... we never got your name."
"Finn. What's yours?" Finn asked her.
"You can call me Amelia." Amelia answered and let out a sigh by making a disappointed face. "My former partner that flew the ship is Rey." She begins to stare at him and looked a bit suspicious. "So, Rey tells me that you are part of the Confederation?"
"Yes." Finn nodded his exact answer to her.
"Well, it must be surprise for you to be far away from your people as well." Amelia said and shaking her head a bit with a sigh. "Though, I do not think Rey will understand that you've been lying to her... and me."
BB-8 looks at him and beeped as a sign that he realized that Finn was lying and that he wasn't with the Confederation.
Finn was concerned by this and couldn't believe how she could sense his lies. He continued to lie. "I'm sorry, I don't know what..."
"Stop lying." Amelia told him and gave him a very suspicious look on her face. "Unless if you want BB-8 to tell Rey the truth, your going to tell me the truth."
"Okay... okay." Finn spoke quietly by raising his hand in front of his face. "You got me. I'm not really with the Confederation. I'm... I'm a stormtrooper, but I no longer serve the First Order anymore. Look, all that matters, I just want to get away from here. That's all I want. I don't want to be of any trouble, and I'm never going to do what they wanted me to do. I made a choice. Choice was, I stay, I become the First Order's slave of combat... or I escape."
"I can see your telling the truth." Amelia nodded, understanding and feeling the truth in his words. "I can sense the fear in you."
"I know I don't want to do this, but I truly want to help get this droid back to its base as soon a possible, and then I'm going to disappear... forever." Finn said.
"Fine." Amelia agreed. "I can help you with that, but first thing's first; We get your droid back to the unknown base, get paid, and hello Naboo. Deal?"
"Deal." Finn promised.
Suddenly, steam began to burst under the grating and Rey comes back and quickly jumps into the grating.
"What's happened?" Amelia asked, concentrating her attention on this.
"Help me with this!" Rey called out to them. "Quick!"
Amelia and Finn hurry to the grating while BB-8 rolls over and watches.
"Whoa! What's going on?" Finn asked as well.
Rey's head pops up from under the grating, surrounded by steam just as the emergency alarm blares.
"It's the motivator!" Rey exclaimed in worry. "Grab me a Harris wrench - check in there!"
As he checks a storage box, she disappears down below, overwhelmed by the technical issues.
"How bad is it?" Amelia asked.
"If we wanna live, not good." Rey sighed.
BB-8 watches as Finn searches a selection of tools.
"They're hunting for us now, we gotta get outta this system!" Finn began to panic.
As Rey re-emerges from the grating, Finn quickly hands her the wrench.
"BB-8 said the location of the Confederation Base is "need to know" - if I'm taking you there, I need to know." Rey demanded.
Finn throws a tool and asks. "This?"
Rey caught it and goes under again, leaving Finn and BB-8 to look at each other. He turns over to Amelia, who doesn't say anything.
"Good luck telling her." Amelia smiled pretendedly as she shook her head.
Finn sighs as he kneels in front of BB-8 and spoke quietly, but urgently. "You gotta tell us where the base is." He waited for a specific answer from him, but he just let out a beep as sign that he refuses to tell him. This heavily annoys Finn and continues to talk to him quietly to prevent Rey from hearing. "I don't speak that. Alright, between us, you know that I'm not with the Confederation, okay? So here's the deal, just tell us where the base is, and you won't see me again. Like said, I'm trying to get away from the First Order and I'm never going back to them. So I'll get you there first - deal? Droid, please."
"I do not think he's going to tell you." Amelia smiled at him. "Best you just tell Rey the truth."
Rey pops up again and wondered. "Truth? What truth?"
"Um, the truth on where the Confederation Base really is." Finn let out a pretending chuckle. "Ha ha."
"Oh that's good, uh hand me the pilex driver, please." Rey told him and once Finn passes her the tool, she asked. "So where's your base?
Amelia sighs and looks at BB-8. "Go on BB-8, just tell her, please."
BB-8 lets out another beep.
"The Corellian System?" Rey replied.
Finn hands her the tool, surprised but thrilled while Rey disappears below again. "Yeah, the Corellian System, that's the one - get us there as fast as you can." He gives BB-8 a thumbs up, only for the droid to extend his wielding torch and turns it upwards.
"I'll drop you two at Ponemah Terminal." Rey said. "I need the bonding tape, hurry!"
Finn was searching and searching for the tape that Rey requested. "What about you?"
"I gotta get back to Jakku." Rey replied.
"BACK TO JAKKU?" Finn snapped. "Why does everyone always wanna go back to Jakku?"
"Because its never the right world to be on." Amelia said. "Its a waste of time. Me however, I'm taking my trip over to Naboo."
"Okay, so you want to go to Naboo and she wants to go back to Jakku where the First Order is." Finn claimed. "This is crazy!"
"I'm going back there whether I like to or not." Rey argued while fixing.
"Rey, Finn's right, if you risk your life going back to Jakku, the First Order will recognize you and put you in a dark cell, and what is worst, I have no idea what Unkar is going to do to you since we robbed his ship."
"It was called borrowing, its not a problem is it?" Rey told her.
Suddenly, all the power in the ship started to go out and BB-8 started to react nervously.
"This could be really good or really bad." Amelia spoke softly.
"Oh that can't be good." Finn sighed in ignorance. "What are we going to do?"
"No it can't be." Rey breathed and ran to the cockpit, forcing Amelia, Finn, and BB-8 to follow her and quickly plop into the seats in a panic as Rey checks the dead instrumentation panel. "Someone's locked onto us."
"Seems that all the controls were overridden." Amelia said. "I gotta bad feeling about this."
Finn quickly, awkwardly climbs up, looks out. "Oh no."
At a sight of shock, he sees that the Corellian ship, which was now powerless, was a like a sitting duck. Above the ship was an antenna array that revealed the appearance of a massive freighter. Seconds pass, the freighter's giant hangar opens like a huge mouth which swallows the ship like a whale.
Finn plops into his seat, horrified. "It's the First Order."
"What do we do?" Rey panicked. "There must be..."
"You said poisonous gas." Finn said, something that his mind raced up.
"Yeah, but I fixed that." Rey told him.
"Can you unfix it?" Amelia suggested.
"I'm afraid we're out of plans." Rey responded her exact answer.
Inside the lounge area, Rey, Amelia, and Finn quickly grab their gas masks, and put them on in a quick pace. Then, they jump into the grating area.
"C'mon BB-8." Amelia beckoned.
Immediately, the trio quickly help BB-8 down, too, but they all struggle like crazy since he weighed a ton.
"I got it." Finn heaved.
"Oooh..." Rey groaned.
"Don't look at me, I'm okay." Amelia said. "Just get the droid off my lap please."
Under the grating, Amelia and Finn pull the grating over them as Rey works on the controls.
"You think this'll work on the Stormtroopers?" Rey asked them.
"You bet." Amelia replied. "Their masks filter out smoke, not toxins."
"Well, that's good to hear." Finn breathed through the mask.
As the lights come on, the sound of the ship ramp was lowering from outside and quickly Amelia used the Force pull the grating closed. Just as the ship's front door opens, three individuals board the ship with their weapons ready for combat, operating silently, with hand signals only. The individuals were revealed to be Han Solo, Zuckuss, and Lumpawaroo.
Lumpawaroo was a Wookiee, whose nickname was Lumpy, greatly resembled as his father Chewbacca, a legendary hero who was Han Solo's best friend and sacrificed his life in saving Anakin Solo during the Yuuzhan Vong War. Zuckuss was a former bounty hunter and a member of the Gand species. he became a partner and friend to Han and Lumpy ever since the Liberation on Coruscant.
"Boys, we're home." Han announced quietly to his crewmates.
"You bet." Zuckuss responded in his own language.
"Check out the ship and see if anyone is onboard." Han ordered.
"Right ahead of you boss." Zuckuss complied.
When Lumpy was the first to hear the sound of noise that came from the grating, Han gives Zuckuss a nod and ready the weapons. Lumpy lifts off the grating above, causing Amelia, Rey, and Finn to raise their hands in surrender and look up at Han, who's training his blaster on them.
"Where are the others?" Han demanded one of them to answer. "Where's the pilot?"
"I'm the pilot." Rey responded immediately.
"Wait, you?" Han sounded surprised.
Lumpy lets out a moany-talk as sign that he refused to believe Rey been the pilot.
"No, it's true: we're the only ones on board." Rey responded to him, understanding the Wookiee's language.
"You can understand that thing?" Finn asked.
"And "that thing" can understand you too, so watch it." Han warned him. "Come on outta there.
As Amelia, Rey, and Finn climb up, BB-8 uses his magnetic arm to quickly pull himself out. Han stares at Amelia for a moment as he began to recognize her.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" Han asked her.
"No, not that I remember." Amelia said, hoping that Han didn't recognize her since she was his granddaughter Allana Solo.
"What's your name then?" Han wanted to know.
"Amelia... Jak." Amelia responded.
"Right." Han nodded his head and asked again. "So where'd you get this ship?"
"Niima Outpost." Rey answered.
"Wait a minute, Niima outpost!" Han sounded shocked. "Jakku? That junkyard?"
"Thank you!" Finn spoke out loudly and whispered directly to Amelia. "Junkyard."
Amelia nodded and whispered back. "Right."
Han turns to Lumpy and said to him. "Aaah, I told ya we should've double-checked the Western Reaches!" Then he turns back to Rey. "Who had it, Ducain?"
"I stole it from Unkar Plutt." Rey explained. "He stole it from the Irving Boys, who stole it from Ducain."
"Who stole it from me." Han said. "Well, you tell him Han Solo just stole back the Millennium Falcon for good.
Just as he walks away and has finally taken his ship back with his fellow partners, Rey was awed and surprised to find out that the ship she flew was actually the one that belonged to Han Solo.
"So this is the Millennium Falcon?" Rey responded in excitement. "You're Han Solo?"
Han walked over to the cockpit and answered. "I used to be."
"Han Solo? The Rebellion General?" Finn asked.
"No, the smuggler." Rey corrected.
"Wasn't he a war hero?" Finn wondered.
"Yeah, I guess, kinda..." Lumpy replied since he didn't know much of Han's history, but his father once told him the story on how and Han fought against Imperial forces on Endor.
Rey calls out. "This is the ship that made the Kessel Run in fourteen parsecs...!"
"Twelve!" Han exclaimed as he entered the cockpit and murmured to himself. "Fourteen."
As he enters the cockpit, Han looks around and felt a great sense of joy in his heart since he was happy to get the Falcon back, even though he never had chance to thank Rey. However, his moment of joy was suddenly cut off when he started to look annoyed.
"Hey! Some moof-milker put a compressor on the ignition line!" Han said angrily as he moves to the corridor.
"Actually that was Unkar Plutt who did that." Amelia said. "Point is, my friend thought it was a mistake since it put too much..."
"Stress on the hyperdrive." Han overlapped her. "I know kid, I know." He turns away as he speaks. "Well you three are welcome to hang about in my ship since I am looking for new crewmmembers to look after her."
"Well, I'm heading over to Naboo to settle a career for myself." Amelia replied. "So count me out."
"Fine, anyone else?" Han asked.
"Look I wish I could stay, but right now, we need your help." Rey told him urgently.
"Sorry kid, I really wish I could, but I can't." Han answered. "Point is, I went back to smuggling."
"But this droid has to get to the Confederation base as soon as possible." Rey explained the truth about BB-8.
"And why is that?" Han asked.
"Because he's carrying two maps with him." Finn told him. "One to the Jedi and the other to Luke Skywalker."
Han stops in his tracks when he heard the word Luke and took his moment to respond since mention of his brother-in-law has really hit him. "Luke, now that's a name I have never forgotten in a long time."
"So you are the Han Solo that fought with the Rebellion?" Finn said. "You knew him."
"Yeah, I knew him." Han nodded his head and turned to Finn. "I knew Luke. Thing is I never knew him as a friend, but I knew him as a brother. He was family to me."
Suddenly, a distant metallic ka-chunk was heard, causing a panic to grow.
"Ah don't tell me a Rathtar's gotten loose." Han said as he hurried out of the ship while Lumpy, Zuckuss, Rey, Amelia, Finn, and BB-8 follow him.
"Wait - a what?" Finn responded in wild concern. "Did you just say Rathtars? Hey!"
The Falcon remained parked in this giant freighter's hangar and Han moves to a control panel as the others follow him.
"Tell me your not hauling Rathtars on this freighter, are you?" Finn asked, panicked.
"I'm hauling Rathtars." Han answered and checked the images on screen from all around the ship. That was when she caught the sight of a transport ship that was landing too inside the freighter, causing Han to be fearful and heads off. "Oh great. It's the Guavian Death Gang - they must've tracked us from Nantoon."
"What's a Rathtar?" Rey asked.
Han leads the group down a long narrow hall that was all lined with cargo containers on each side.
"They're big and dangerous." Amelia told her.
"You ever heard of the Trillia Massacre?" Finn asked.
"No." Amelia said. "Not that I heard about."
"Good." Finn nodded. "Cause it would be really nice that you should never know."
"Currently, me and my boys have three of 'em going to King Prana." Han said.
"THREE?" Finn exclaimed. "How'd you get them on board?"
"It wasn't easy to get them onboard since I use to have a bigger crew." Han said.
Lumpy let out a groaning response to that and helps Han open a hatch in the floor.
"Get below deck and stay there until I say so - don't even think about taking the Falcon." Han instructed.
"What about BB-8?" Amelia asked.
"He stays with me and so will you." Han responded. "I might need your help to rid the gang. Once the job is done, then you can have him back and be on your way."
"And what about the Rathtars... where are you keeping them?" Amelia asked as well.
That was when a terrifying bam came from a grotesque Rathar giant tongue that slamed into the cargo container window behind Finn, causing him and Rey to gasp in fright when they saw the tongue.
"There's one." Han pointed.
"What are you gonna do?" Rey asked him.
"Same thing I always do: talk my way out of it." Han said, but that was when he got annoyed when Zuckuss was letting out a moaning response. "Yes, I do. Every time."
As Rey and Finn hide, Amelia, Han, Lumpy, Zuckuss, and BB-8 witness the arrival of the Guavian Death Gang, who were standing forty feet away in the middle of the long hall. Each and every enforced were dressed in reddish uniforns and round-face helmets while their leader Bala Tik was wearing his own uniform. Bala-Tik had brown hair and light skin, and also had a cybernetic left leg.
Bala Tik didn't look quite happy when he and his enforcers confronted Han and his friends and let out a calling response. "Han Solo. You are a dead man."
BB-8 nervously looks back and forth at the gang, and Han.
Han smiles innocently and friendly. "Bala Tik. What's the problem?"
"The problem is we loaned you fifty thousand for this job." Bala began. "I heard you also borrowed fifty thousand from Kanjiklub."
"What's Kanjiklub?" Amelia asked in a whisper to Han.
"In a minute." Han whispered back to her and turned to face Bala Tik, and responded loudly. "Look, I get your not happy about this, but you know you can't trust those little freaks! How long've we known each other?"
"The question is how much longer will we know each other?" Bala asked in a threating tone. "It hasn't been that long. We want our money back now."
"Ya think hunting Rathtars is cheap?" Han asked him. "I spent that money."
"Kanjiklub wants their investment back, too." Bala said.
"I never made a deal with Kanjiklub!" Han argued.
"Tell that to Kanjiklub." Bala replied.
Suddenly, Amelia sensed through the Force that something was coming from behind. She turns around to hear the sound of another door opening, causing BB-8 to look nervous. Han turns and his face goes white when he encounters members of Kanjiklub, a gang that was described to look like a medieval bandito style.
Their leader was Tasu Leech, a human man who was known to be a very deadly crime lord in the galaxy. Tasu Leech had defeated many would-be usurpers under his command, as the Kanjiklub tradition went that the leader may be challenged to combat by his underlings, for control of the position as leader.
Han smiles uncomfortably at the Kanjiklub members and tries to play it off. "Tasu Leech. Good to see you."
Tasu responded in an alien language as he cocks his weapon to kill for blood. "Wrong again, Solo. It's over for you."
"Boys. You're both gonna get what I promised." Han said honestly. "Have I ever not delivered for you before?"
"Yeah." Bala responded sarcastically, not trying to buy it.
"Twice!" Tasu added.
Han realizes he's right and asked the Kanjiklub leader. "What was the second time?"
"Your game is old." Bala said. "There's no one in the galaxy left for you to swindle."
"Nowhere left for you to hide." Tasu said as well.
"There is something else." Bala changed the subject and stared at BB-8. "That BB unit... the First Order is looking for one just like it... and three fugitives, and one of the fugitives that stands next to you... is a Jedi."
Han takes a brief look at Amelia and turned back to Bala to reply. "First I've heard of it."
One of the Kanjiklubbers begins moving down the corridor, aiming a flashlight down below to search for Finn and Rey while Bala Tik and fellow Enforcers were willing to take Amelia and BB-8.
"How bout this, you hand over the Jedi girl, the droid, and the other fugitives, and will let you and your friends leave." Bala offered. "We'll get as much credits from the First Order. Credits that you robbed from us."
"That's very thoughtful Bala, but no deal." Han declined. "The girl stays with me... as well as the droid."
"Trying to make it difficult with us, so be it." Bala scoffed. "You'll die right here along with your Wookiee and Gand at your side."
Lumpy made a mocking roar as a sign that he really wants to fight against both gangs.
"Boy, I really wish I didn't get involved in this situation." Amelia whispered to him.
"Well if your going to do something kid, now is the time." Han insisted.
"Listen, I'm not a Jedi." Amelia responded in a sharp whisper.
"What Luke use to say, don't lose your way." Han said, talking some sense into her.
"I already have." Amelia told him quietly.
In a quiet panic below, Finn and Rey have been crawling fast in the opposite direction they came. Rey had been crawling off fast than Finn, who was crawling after her. Arrive at a junction box area, Rey looks at the controls and finds out how to do it.
"What'a doing?" Finn asked her.
"I'm trying to..." Rey examined the controls and went on. "If we close the blast doors in that corridor, we can trap both gangs."
"Close the blast doors from here?" Finn asked.
"Resetting the fuses should do it." Rey answered as she begins to reset the fuses.
Once the fuses were reset, sparks were shooting out from them. Rey smiles optimistically and Finn looks hopeful too. However, down an empty row of large containers, three doors suddenly open, and coming out were three nasty-looking Rathars. These animals were described to be enormous, fierce, and ravenous land octopuses that slithered, and made loud noises.
Back up top, the banks of lights all begin to turn off, one by one, and Han, Lumpy, Zuckuss, Amelia, Bala, Tasu, and both gangs look around.
Han's eyes go wide and knows that something bad was about to happen. He murmured to himself. "I got a bad feeling about this..."
Suddenly all the lights come on again, including down below where Rey and Finn were hiding. Rey realized that the plan to lock the gangs did not go as planned.
"Oh no." Rey breathed.
"Oh no, what?" Finn began to panic. "What's wrong?"
Rey looked pale and answered. "Wrong fuses."
"Kill them!" Bala yelled to his enforcers and raised his weapon to take aim on Han. "Take the droid and the girl!"
Amelia sighed by rolling her eyes, and she did, she takes out her lightsaber and ignites it, ready to engage the Guavian Enforcers, but that was when one Rathar appeared from behind the Bala's gang and grabbed two members with its massive tentacles as the others scream and run. Bala fires back at the creature.
"Quick run!" Amelia yelled. "Hurry!"
Both gangs were firing back at the nasty-looking creatures, causing BB-8, Han, Lumpy, and Zuckuss to fire back and move away from the scene. Amelia, however, was deflecting a few blaster bolts from a Guavian Enforcer. She hastily used the Force to pull the gun out of the enforce's hand and used her lightsaber to slice it in half. The Enforcer panicked and ran away from her. She turns around and sees a Rather coming towards her from behind, roaring deafeningly. Instead of running, Amelia closed her eyes and raised her hand, causing the Rathar to stop moving. The Rathar stares at her, and few second pass, the creature moved away from her.
Elsewhere in the cargo ship's corridor, BB-8, Han, Lumpy, and Zuckuss were racing down the hall to flee from the Rathars. That was when a member of the Kanjiklub gang comes around a corner, but Zuckuss raised his gun and shot the gang member through the chest.
Below the floor grating, Rey and Finn hurriedly crawl through the space below decks.
"This was a mistake!" Finn cried.
"Huge!"
Two Guavian Death Gang members were running run, passing Tasu Leech, who sees another Kanjiklub member down the corridor been grabbed by a tentacle. Tasu tries to help him, but he gets pulled up and away. Tasu hears a distant terror-scream of a Rathtar, and runs the other way. Other Kanjiklub members were calling for at him to avoid that direction as they all turn a corner. That was when a Rathar appeared and grabbed two others. Tasu fires at the beast and runs off. That was when Finn and Rey climb out quickly and tur na corridor.
"What do they look like?" Rey asked.
Turning another corner, she and Finn stop and witness several gang members battling the horrible creature. Rey covered her mouth in fear and couldn't believe what she saw.
"They look like that." Finn answered and yanks her away. "This way!"
As the two race around another corner, a rathar appeared and grabbed Finn with is massive tenticles, and pulled him away fast.
"FINN!" Rey cried in fear and tries to save Finn, but the rathar was very fast and managed to lose Rey.
"REY! HELP!" Finn cried out as he's being yanked down the hall, screaming as he struggle to get himself loose from the horrible beast.
Without Finn, she is instantly distraught, but then she realized that she just passed a control panel. Her eyes light up as she moves to it and sees a bank of video monitors of the ship and saw Finn being dragged by a Rathtar toward an open blast door. Without hesitating, she slammed the button, causing the blast door to instantly close on one of the rathar's tentacles. The Rathar yowled in pain, and its severed tentacle was still wrapped around Finn's leg. Finn scrambles up, desperately shaking the sticky tentacle off his leg
Rey arrives and ran to Finn, beaming to see him alive. "Finn!"
he is
adrenaline-rushed, in shock:
"It had me!" Finn responded, adrenaline-rushed in shock. "But the door..."
"That was lucky." Rey sighed in relief.
Han, Lumpy, Zuckus, and BB-8 quickly take cover, exchanging blaster fire with more than a dozen Guavian Enforcers at the other end of the hall.
"I got the door. Cover us!" Han yelled to Lumpy and Zuckuss.
Zuckuss complied to his friend's command, but Lumpy let out a groaning response. Zuckuss and Lumpy fire down the hall as Han cross the corridor while BB-8 stays behind him. As Lumpy and Zuckuss continue to exchange blaster fire, Han had been working on the controls.
Once he managed to get the controls to work, the hatch was opened and the Millenium Falcon was seen in the distance. Before they were about to move, an Guavian enforcer shot Lumpy in the shoulder. Lumpy goes down with a load groan. Before the enforcers were about to move and prevent them from escaping, Amelia appeared from behind, and with her lightsaber in tact, she leaps and slashes every enforcer one-by-one.
"Lumpy! You okay?" Han exclaimed and turned to see Amelia finishing the last enforcer with her lightsaber.
"Come on! Come on, let's go!" Amelia shouted from the distance and ran to join Han, Zuckuss, Lumpy, and BB-8.
Insidet the cargo hangar, Finn and Rey run across and quickly entered the Falcon first. Han, Zuckuss, and Amelia were helping a wounded Lumpy up the ramp and joins the two. BB-8 rolls in last up the ramp.
"Zuckuss, close the door behind us!" Han shouted and turned to Finn. "You... you take care of Big Lumpy here!"
Han and Rey race towards the cockpit as Finn heaves up with Lumpy, who screams wildly in pain. While hearing his friend cry, Han stands at the navicomputer, hitting switches.
"Hey, what are you going?" Han asked.
"Unkar Plutt installed a fuel pump too - if we don't prime that we're not going anywhere." Rey told him.
"I hate that guy." Han sighed as he sits while he watches Rey hitting the buttons.
"And you could use a co-pilot?" Rey asked.
"I got one, he's back there." Han said, pointing his thumb backwards.
Setting the Falcon to work, Han and Rey quickly prepare to leave immediately while Lumpy was inside the lounge and continued to cry out in pain, and Zuckuss and Amelia were moving around the ship and readying the turrets.
"Watch the thrust, we're goin' out of here at lightspeed." Han instructed.
"From inside the hangar? Is that even possible?" Rey asked in shock.
"I never ask that question until after I've done it." Han replied.
"This is not how I thought this day was gonna go." Han murmured unhappily as he worked on the controls and turned to Rey. "Angle the shields." He turns back to face Finn and yells. "Hang on back there!"
"No problem!" Finn exclaimed, having a huge problem in his face as he was busy going through a first aid kit while poor Lumpy was in pain.
Suddenly, seven more Guavian Enforcers race inside the hangar and open fire at the Falcon, trying to hit the fuel lines to prevent the ship from leaving.
"Come on baby, don't let me down!" Han shouted, hitting the switch, but nothing. "What?"
Rey reaches over, hits a switch, matter-of-factly and replied. "Compressor."
Han didn't like it, but he knew she was right. As he hits the switch again the hyperdrive fired up, and the whole hangar was now filled with lightspeed blast as the attacking Guavian Enforcers continued to blast the ship. In the cockpit the rathar rips away as the stars stretch like elastic.
Bala-Tik arrives at the window and watches the Millennium Falcon flee into hyperspace. Then he makes an important call. "Inform the First Order that Han Solo has the droid they want. And it's aboard the Millennium Falcon."
