"Does anyone have a plan?" Finn asked as they backed up.

"Kill them all!" Chewbacca roared as his back hit Finn's.

"I'm all open for ideas on how to do that!" Poe retorted as he bumped into Finn & Chewbacca's sides.

"Don't die!" Rey retorted as she backed up into Finn and Chewbacca's other side, her new yellow coloured lightsabre raised in readiness.

The four of them waited, thought and watched the approaches for the sith rebels they'd happened upon. Ears alert for anything beyond the sound of their heavy breathing and the sound of nature. Rey taking a steadying breath as she closed her eyes and attempted to clear her mind to cast out all her senses.

"Okay, I have a crazy plan." Finn announced.

"Right now, I'll take crazy." Poe agreed and Chewbacca roared an agreement.

"Rey, climb on Chewy's shoulders, you can shoot as he charges, creating chaos and destruction that distracts them as Poe and I take them out." Finn explained.

"Not that crazy!" Poe corrected firmly.

"I have a slightly less crazy plan!" Rey interjected.

"I'd be worried if it was more crazy." Poe admitted, luckily for him neither Finn or Rey had time to spare him a glare as Chewbacca roared in amusement.

"I've never done it for this many before, but I can deflect their shots with the Force, letting you guys take them out as I protect you. We'll need to keep moving though..." Rey explained as the large group of Sith rebels they'd accidentally stumbled upon arrived.

"Get in the middle, we'll guide you as we move." Poe ordered and given the situation none of them joked at the fact that Rey obeyed without comment.

With their only alternative plan the mayhem of a Jedi riding a charging Wookiee, they did as she said. They braced themselves as Rey took a breath and focused, this wasn't going to be easy, but they'd be damned if they went down without one hell of a fight.

Rey was used to deflecting single shots and redirecting them to specific targets, she had to let go of that urge, and just deflect the dangerous ones far enough that they became safe. She wouldn't be as useful offensively, but her defensive capabilities would significantly increase, and she trusted her friends, they were good fighters.

By now they had become accustomed to fighting alongside Rey's Force powers, though none of them would say they were used to seeing an energy bolt coming towards them and expecting it to change direction. All three of them had to focus on their shots rather than instinctively ducking and dodging out of the way. They trusted Rey, of course they did, but it took a certain amount of trust, willpower and focus to ignore such pervasive instincts, the instincts that had kept them alive until now.

For the most part the only sound their group made was Chewbacca's roaring, with Poe and Finn occasionally shouting a direction or warning, whilst their opponents frantically issued orders and commands between them as they tried to find a way to get through Rey's Force bending, their shots unpredictably bouncing harmlessly away from their targets with the exception of the occasional glancing blow.

Finally the noise died down, as Rey opened her eyes as her Force senses could no longer feel danger, and all they could hear was heavy breathing as all four of them looked around as if they couldn't believe that was it. Was it really over?

Poe was in the middle of sending Chewbacca to scout the few approaches to double check when Finn fell to the floor. Rey was next to him in an instant checking for wounds, finding one down the outside of one leg, not life threatening but painful now the adrenaline of the fight had worn off. A flash of worried upset crossed the Jedi's face as she rummaged through Finn's utility belt in search of a medpac, finding one and effortlessly applying it.

Poe snapped out of watching the scene as Chewbacca returned with a brief report on their surroundings, they were safe, for now. Poe nodded his thanks and the wookiee returned the gesture before both turned back to their friends. The realisation sinking in for Poe that the uneasy feeling in his gut wasn't worry, he knew worry, he was familiar with worry. No, this was jealousy watching Rey care for someone else.

Poe swallowed the realisation down, locking it as deeply away as he could, that he cared for Rey too much.
