~Chapter 6~

   "Clear the bridge and escort all the officers down to the main hanger," Poe announces as we walk in.

     "Commander, er, Captain Dameron! Admiral Holdo was looking for you!" C3-PO states.

     "Yeah, they spoke!" I tell him, and Poe sits down on the control seat and starts to get Light-Speed ready so we can boost out of here. He also turns on the cameras down in the hanger to watch over. He keeps pressing more buttons and switches.

     "Sir, I am almost afraid to ask-"

     "Go with it 3-PO," Poe interrupts.

     The lights shut down from what see in the main hanger. I look closely and see Holdo kick the gas pump, and fog starts to blind the pilots guarding them. Blasters start to go off in the hangar, but only stun lasers.

     "Seal that door!" Poe points to the main door and Connix and I run over to it together. We press the button and the door closes, we both smile at one another and I walk over to Poe.

     "3-PO where do you think you're going?" Poe asks as 3-PO walks away to the door.

     "It would be against my programming to be a part of this mutiny!" He replies, walking away again.

     "Hey!" Poe shouts.

     "It is not correct protocol!" 3-PO exclaims. He walks over to the door but sparks start to fly everywhere around it.

     "Finn! We're ready to make the jump!" Poe shouts through the comlink channel. I grab my lightsaber from my belt and activate it, ready for any stun attacks. Sparks keep flying everywhere and Poe hides behind the control chair, grabbing his blaster. Connix stands next to me with 3-PO.

     "Get down! Drop your weapons!" I hear the radio call and panic.

     "FN-2187, so good to have you back," A lady's voice is also heard but in a robotic voice. It's the silver stormtrooper that we threw in the trash compactor back at the Battle on Starkiller Base.

     "They didn't make it," Poe mutters quietly, but I hear what he says.

     I look back at the door and get in a ready position. It blasts open and Poe points his blaster at it. A figure slowly starts to walk through the smoke and debris, wearing all white. Poe slowly lowers his weapon and I turn off my saber.

     "Leia!" Poe's eyes grow wide, but that quickly fades when she shoots him with a stun blaster and he falls back.

     I run over to him, worriedly, while Connix and 3-PO raise their hands slowly in defeat. We're led to the main hanger and I follow behind Poe's floating bed they placed him on. I stay with him the whole time, even as we board the transport with Leia. They place him near a row of seats near the window and I sit near him. 

     I gently hold his hand as the transport starts to make its way off the ground and into space. The transports holding other people start to take off also. I glance over at Leia who is looking out at the window toward the cruiser as we pull away.

     The force quickly connects me with Rey, who runs into trouble with Kylo Ren and Snoke, the Supreme Leader of the dark side.

     I can feel Poe's hand move and I glance at him. He jolts awake and I feel a troubling pang in my chest as I fall to the ground, startled. I clutch my chest as I can somehow feel pain and agony between two people. Poe sees me on the ground and rushes over to me. I quickly get up to assure him I was fine. He starts to look around, unaware of where we are but then realizes. He runs over to the nearest window and bangs on it hard as we slowly make our way through the vast black space, away from the main cruiser.

     "Poe," I hear Leia call out to him and he walks over to where she sits down. I walk over to them and listen to the conversation they have.

     "What's that?" Poe wonders, as he looks out the window to a nearby planet.

     "The mineral planet, Crait. An uncharted hideout in the days of the Rebellion," Commander Larma explains.

     "That's a Rebel base?" Poe wonders.

     "Abandoned, but heavily armored. Enough power to send a distress signal to our allies in the outer rim," Commander Larma replies.

     "Holdo knew the First Order was tracking down the big ship, they're not monitoring for little transports," Leia says.

     "So we could slip through the surface, unnoticed, hide till the First Order passes... that could work," Poe nods his head in approval.

     "That makes a lot more sense now," I laugh a bit.

     "She was more interested in protecting the light than she was seeming like a... hero," Leia explains and I hand her the bracelet around my wrist.

     I sit next to Poe and he wraps his arms around me. We watch the cruiser as it keeps getting shot at by the First Order fleet. I feel a deep pit in my stomach as I spot a green blaster coming directly toward the transporters. I run over to the command center of the transport along with Poe.
