Author's Note: This is the first fanfiction I've written and posted to the Internet. I really have no idea what I'm doing, the title doesn't have anything to do with the story, and I don't really know how this website works. That put aside, I hope you enjoy my story.
We walked in silence for while, the atmosphere felt thick between us.
Finally he said, "You saved me and I don't even know your name."
"Phynx, and I know you're Poe, I saw your name tag."
Silence followed our small exchange, but the atmosphere was lighter with familiarity. We meandered into town, which was still relatively deserted since the battle. We spent the rest of the day searching the streets for any sign of the astromech. Red and gold were streaking the sky by the time were think about stopping and heading back to my place. We were nearing the edge of town by my home when we saw a land speeder with scrap metal and other loot loaded on it. Someone had obviously spent the day scavenging, and their loot was pretty good. I saw Poe eying it hopefully for any sign of BB-8, but the speeder was so heavily loaded with stuff it was hard to pick out anything on it.
The speeder slowly passed us, and on the end, sticking out of the scraps and garbage was a white and orange ball droid. It was unmistakable, that had to be his droid.
"Bee-Bee-Ate!" Poe yelled. The droid beeped frantically in response. "Stop!" he yelled at the scavenger. The scavenger ignored us and kept driving. Poe ran after the land speeder, which was rapidly gaining speed. I sprinted after him and caught up to him swiftly. I force jumped ahead of him and landed on the speeder. I struggled to hold on to the now swerving vehicle, I tried grabbing at BB-8 but missed and almost lost my grip on the speeder. I dangled there holding on with one hand while flailing my other hand trying to stay on.
Poe appeared next to me and flung himself wildly onto to the land speeder. He grabbed my upper arm and swung me onto the ship, both of us stumbling to stay on our feet. He untangled his droid from some wires that were loosely keeping it down. The land speeder was still swerving wildly and picking up speed.
"We have to jump!" I yelled.
He nodded and jumped off the speeder cradling the droid in his hands. I followed after him, rolling on my shoulder in the dirt. I tumbled to a halt a few feet in front of Poe and got to my feet. The scavenger was turning around the speeder and coming back at us. Poe set the droid down and wielded his blaster rifle at the ready. I activated my lightsaber and saw Poe cast a sidelong glance at the purple blade.
The scavenger came towards us and started to open fire at us. I stepped in front of Poe and deflected what I could while he fired at the scavenger. The scavenger made a pass by us, and when he did, I drove my lightsaber into the side of the craft making a giant gash in the side of it. I kept going passed us before promptly exploding.
"Run," I said to Poe. I took off at a fast run towards my home with Poe at my heels and BB-8 at his heels. We exited the town and climbed the gentle slope that lead towards my house. The hill was covered in tufts of grass and other local fauna and the dirt was packed from being walked on constantly. We slowed down to a walk and turned around to see if we had any followers, but what we saw was much worse.
A giant form of a star destroyer loomed in the sky over the dark city, its loud engines rumbling.
