~Chapter 4~

   "H-How do you know my name?" I ask him. Lando looks puzzled and is about to speak.

     "It is an honor general," Finn interrupts.

     "General Calrissian we're looking for Exegol," Poe tells him. Lando looks at all of us like we're idiots.

     "Of course, you are," He scoffs. "Only two were made."

     Lando pulls up a small holopad of the Wayfinder.

     "A Sith Wayfinder," I smile.

     "Luke came here to find one," Rey explains.

     "I know, I was with him," Lando chuckles. "Luke and I were tailing an old Jedi hunter." He pulls up another hologram. An alien with a head device around his lower head and black eyes. "Ochi of Bestoon. He was carrying a clue that could lead to a Wayfinder. We followed his ship halfway across the galaxy, here. When we got to his ship, it was abandoned. No clue, no Wayfinder."

     "Is Ochi's ship still here?" I ask.

     "It's out in the desert where he left it," Lando explains.

     "We need to get to that ship, and search it again," Rey declares, and everyone agrees. I hear a familiar whirring noise and look outside. TIE-Fighters are flying in.

     "We got company," I tell them.

     "I got a bad feeling about this," Lando states. "Ochi's ship is out past Lurch Canyon. Go."

     "Thank you General," Poe walks out first. Chewie roars and follows Poe.

     "You to Chewie," Lando calls out.

     "Leia needs pilots, General," Rey states. I stay behind to wait for Rey to leave.

     "My flying days are long gone, but do me a favor... give Leia my love," Lando asks.

     "You should give it to her yourself, thank you," Rey jumps out and I'm about to follow her till Lando calls my name.

     "You don't know, do you Y/N?"

     "Know what?" I ask him.

     Lando sighs and then tells me to go. I'm hesitant, but then leave and run after the others. We run across the sand with Poe leading us.

     "There! Those speeders," Poe points to two speeders parked in the sand. Poe and I go underneath them and quickly power them up.

     "How'd you guys know how to do that?" Finn asks.

     "We're pilots for heaven's sake," I call out to him and jump on the speeder.

     "No need to worry, I'm here," 3PO states. I laugh but stop when some natives are yelling at us for taking their speeders.

     "We gotta go," I warn everyone, helping Rey and BB-8 to get in the Speeder. Chewie joins us as well, and Rey starts to control the speeder. Poe, Finn, and 3-PO hop on the other speeder and start it up as well.

     Rey powers up the speeder, and we begin to escape the Stormtroopers coming after us. Since Rey is busy controlling the speeder, I take out my lightsaber and ignite it. The familiar green color blazes. I start to hit and block the lasers aiming at us. It starts getting too hard for me to control so I break the saber in half and use both of them to block the bullets.

     Rey helps out by taking her blaster and shooting it at the troopers. I can hear BB-8 beeping, but not clearly due to all the action. I stop when I see the speeder go forward. Thinking I hit the speeder, I smile. But frown when I see the speeder is back on the ground. My eyes widen when the stormtroopers are using jetpacks to fly above us.

     I could hear the boys on the other speeder yelling out they can fly now. I look behind me to Chewie.

     "When the hell did they learn to fly?!" I shout. Chewie growls, shrugging.

     "Just what we need right now," Rey complains.

     Poe turns the gears in a different direction to go in between the crack in the mountain walls, while Rey dodges the rock wall that's about to hit us. The trooper in the air shoots out two bullets in front of us making the sand spurt out. I close my eyes while the sand lands on my jacket and hair.

     "Ugh! I hate sand! It gets everywhere!" I shout out.

     Rey keeps leading us away from the troopers. BB-8 beeps something to Rey and this time I understand him.

     "Not know, BB-8," She demands.

     She turns back around and I tell BB-8 to do it. He uses his gadget tools and taps on the center of a tiny circle on the container. He makes a hole and yellow powder bursts from the can and quickly blocks the vision of the stormtrooper on the speeder. When it clears up, he propels off a small rocky hill, making his speeder go crazy in the air. Rey jerks the ship to her left making it twirl and shoots the trooper. It blows up and I shout in approval.

     "Never underestimate a droid," Rey shouts.

     "That a lesson you finally learned?" I shout back.

     I hear her laugh at my comment and smile. Chewie grabs his crossbow and shoots the trooper in the air. I can hear him yelling and then crashing into the ground.

     I see the guys speeding out of the crack in the mountain, the trooper that was after them gone. Rey continues managing the speeder and I spot Ochi's ship in the distance.

     "Ochi's ship!" Rey exclaims.

     "That looks familiar," I mutter.

     She says something else too but I can't hear her. I spot the guys coming closer to us.

     "You alright, Y/N?!" Poe shouts to me.

     "I'm fine! How are you?" I jest.

    "Great! Really enjoying it," Poe jokes back.

     "We get all of them?" Finn shouts to Rey.

     I spot a stormtrooper in the air, pointing his blaster at us. I shout to Rey and Chewie to get down. Our speeder crashes from beneath us and we hurl forward. I land on thick, gray, sand, and try to stand up. I see Rey, BB, and Chewie in the sand too. The boys' ship is shot down, landing in the same sand. The last stormtrooper continues flying above us, shooting repeatedly. Chewie aims at him and I quickly grab one of my lightsaber ends on top of the sand, not sure where the other half is. I ignite it and throw it up at the trooper, he dodges it and keeps firing. Using the force, my lightsaber boomerangs back to me, cutting the trooper's jetpack, and ending up back in my hand. The jetpack malfunctions, jerking to the right and left, then back to the rocky peaks, exploding on impact. Everyone celebrates seeing the last stormtrooper falling. The celebration is cut short when we realize our legs are too deep in the sand and we can't get out.

     "This looks familiar," I refer to the time when my feet were trapped in quicksand at the time I first met Poe. Everyone else is having trouble too.

     "What the hell is this?" Poe shouts trying to get up. The sand is already up to my stomach and I try to push it away. It makes it worse.

     "Sinking field! Try to grab something," Rey commands.

     "Will this agony ever end?" 3PO complains.

     "It's better than being blown up to death on our speeders," I point out. Everyone looks at me with a "really?" face. "What?!" I shout out. Everyone continues to try and get free. The sand continues consuming me, now up to my neck

     "Poe!" I shout out before I'm blinded by darkness. The last thing I hear is Poe calling out my name.
