《AWAKEN》15

THE BRIDGE had such a sorrow tension. Amara was standing next to Lieutenant Connix, the two girls were quietly speaking among each other, before noticing Holdo looking at them.
Holdo comes walking over with her hands behind her back, "Commander Solo," She says, "I'm happy to see you out of the medic room. How is the General's condition?"
Amara's eyes shift to Holdo, "The same, ma'am." She says.
Holdo kept her eyes on Amara, "Anything to report?" Holdo asks as she kept her eyes on Amara.
Amara had a small feeling that Holdo could see past the lie she had told her prior. Amara kept her gaze on Vice Admiral Holdo. Neither one of them breaking eye contact. Though, as Amara stared into Holdo's eyes nothing indicated that Holdo did not believe Amara's claims. Holdo seemed to believe it. Either that or she was telling herself she believed Amara's lies.
Amara shakes her head, "No, ma'am." She says.
Holdo nods.
Then an officer calls Holdo over to their station, to which Holdo excused herself. Amara kept her eyes on Holdo before turning to Connix.
"Kaydel," Amara says, "Poe will want to see you in a few minutes. Think you can come up with an excuse to leave your post?"
Kaydel Connix looks at the daughter of her General. The woman was loyal to Leia. Lieutenant Connix would follow Leia into battle and oddly enough she trusted Amara the same. It could be because she is Leia's daughter or because she sort of illuminates the same hope Leia portrays.
Connix nods, "Don't worry about it," She says, "I'll be there. Where are we meeting?"
Amara glanced at Holdo one last time before turning back to Connix, "The medic room. It'll be private enough to have a conversation without others listening in."
Connix nods again, "Alright."
Amara nods at Connix and begins to head out of the bridge. She pauses at the door when she saw Holdo look at Amara before she left. Amara could sense it. Holdo was suspicious alright.
{THE LAST JEDI}
REY HAD walked out of the Falcon. She and Chewie were having a hard time trying to make contact with the Resistance. It made Rey feel a bit worried. Worried about Finn. Worried about Leia. Worried about the people she had started to consider friends, maybe even like family. She walked down the ramp and stood underneath the large ship shielding her from the rain. She sensed him. Again.
She turned her gaze, fixing it on where she could see him.
"Murderous snake," Rey addresses to him, "You're too late. You lost. I found Skywalker."
Kylo Ren didn't seemed fazed, "Did you hell you what happened?" He asks, "The night I destroyed his temple, did he tell you why?"
Rey was angry, "I know everything I need to know about you."
"You do?" Kylo Ren asks, "Ah, you do. You have that look in your eyes. From the forest. When you called me a monster."
Rey glared at him, "You are a monster."
"Yes, I am." Kylo Ren says.
And then the presence of him vanished. Rey stood there under the Falcon staring at the waves from the ocean. She exhaled deeply and sighed.
{THE LAST JEDI}
CANTO BRIGHT was not what Finn expected. To be fair, he hasn't been to many places in the galaxy. Since leaving the First Order, the former trooper has seen more places in days than he had in years as a trooper.

Rose looks at him, "Okay. We get in and find this codebreaker and get out." Rose told him.
Finn glanced at him. Remember, he has a mission. Lives were on the line here. This wasn't some kind of vacation. This was war.
"Do you know this town, Rose?" Finn asks, "Canto Bright?"
Rose frowns at him, "From stories," She says, "It's a terrible place filled with the worst people int he galaxy."
Finn frowns, "Great."
The two of them stood in the casino, looking a bit out of place. Most of the people here were dressed beyond fancy and had their hair in interesting hair styles. Finn was still amazed by the place, it was something he had never dared to imagine before, whereas Rose was only bitter about it.
Finn glanced around, "This is great." He says.
Rose grows annoyed, "Okay. Mazy says that this Master Codebreaker would have a red plom bloom on his lapel." She turns to him, "Let's find him and get out of here."
After Rose said that, she glanced over to Finn. He was distracted by everything that was happening around him. Rose grew even more irritated and grabbed his arm to drag him away from the gambling.
"Come on!" Rose says.
As Finn was dragged a few feet away from where they stood before, he turns to look at Rose. He knew this was important and him getting side tracked is not like him when it comes to wanting to protect his friends.
"We've covered this whole casino." Finn tells her, "Zero red plom blooms. Where is this guy?"
Rose watched as more very wealthy and well off people pass them, Finn being distracted by this. Rose groans and moves to a balcony. Finn takes notice and follows her. He stood next to her and glanced at her.
"Look, this place is beautiful. I mean, come on. Why do you hate it so much?" Finn asks.
Rose glanced at him, "Look closer." She says indicating to the city below, "My sister and I grew up in a poor mining system. The First Order stripped our ore to finance their military, then shelled us to test their weapons."
Finn frowns.
"They took everything we had. And who do you think these people are?" Rose asks, "They're only one business in the galaxy that'll get you this rich."
Finn understands, "War."
Rose nods, "Selling weapons to the First Order. I wish- I wish I could put my fist through this whole lousy, beautiful town."
BB-8 comes rolling over to them. The droid interrupts the moment between the two people who were now getting to know each other, by alarming them that he has seen the man they are looking for.
Rose glanced up, "Red plom bloom!" She exclaims seeing it.
Finn grins, "We found him."
BB-8 beeps at him.
"I mean BB-8 found him." Finn says.
The two go back inside, heading in the direction of the man they were after. Only to be stopped by the cops. One tased Rose and the other tased Finn, and the two collapsed onto the ground.
"Alright, you two are under arrest for parking violation 27B/6." The officer says.
Finn winced as he was tased and glanced at the codebreaker, he was too caught up in his game to have noticed or even hear the two of them call for him. This had just gotten even harder.

{THE LAST JEDI}
CONNIX WAS shocked to hear what Poe had planned. A mutiny. For real. Connix, two other pilots, Amara, and Poe were having this meeting inside the medic room.
"A mutiny, Poe?" One pilot says, "Is that our best option?"
Poe nods, "She is doing nothing," He says, "No plan on how to keep the Resistance alive."
The others in the room look among themselves, a bit nervous on going against an officer ranked above them.
"We are closer and closer with each minute of not having anymore fuel," Poe says, "We are running out of time and options."
Another pilot looks to Amara, "What do you think?"
She knew she was being asked because she is Leia's daughter. She wasn't sure if she would've been asked that question if she wasn't related to the General. For a brief moment, eyes shifted to Amara but then to the General when Amara's eyes moved to her mother.
Amara sighs, "I know my mother trusts Holdo but- but we have not been given the same type of trust." She says, "She expects us to fall in line without question, but the General would've give us reason. She wouldn't keep us in the dark."
The two pilots plus Connix nod. It seemed with Amara mentioning Leia helped Poe's case. Poe glanced at her and gives her a small smile before turning back to the others.
"So," Poe starts, "Are you in?"
Connix glanced at the two pilots before turning to Poe, "Tell us what we have to do?"
{THE LAST JEDI}
LUKE WAS waiting for Rey. It was their second lesson. Luke looked up from where he sat inside the temple on the mountain and saw the girl come up to him.
"Lesson two." Luke says, "Now that they're extinct, the Jedi are romanticized, defied. But if you strip away the myth and look at their deeds, the legacy of the Jedi is failure. Hypocrisy, hubris."
Rey's brow furrows, "That's not true." She says.
"At the height of their powers, they allowed Dark Sidious to rise, create the Empire, and wipe them out. It was Jedi Master who was responsible for the training and the creation of Darth Vader." Luke explains to her.
"And a Jedi who saved him." Rey says, "Yes, the most hated man in the galaxy, but you saw that there was conflict inside of him."
She stepped forward to the older Jedi.
"You believed that he wasn't gone. That he could be turned." Rey continued.
Luke remains sitting and shakes his head, "And I became a legend. For many years, there was balance and then I saw Ben." Luke frowns, "My nephew with that mighty Skywalker blood. And in my hubris, I thought I could train him, and a dozen students."
Rey looks at the man. She could see some sort of guilt in his eyes, maybe more.
"Han was Han about it, but Leia trusted me with her son. I promised Amara that he would be back, I told her he wouldn't be gone long. I took him, and a dozen students, and began a training temple." Luke explains, "By the time I realized I was no match for the darkness rising in him, it was too late."
Rey seemed confused, "What happened?" She asks.
Luke looks at her, "I went to confront him. And he turned on me." He says sighing, "He must've thought I was dead, when I came to, the temple was burning. He had vanished with a handful of my students and slaughtered the rest."
Rey frowns.
"Leia blamed Snoke, but it was really me. I failed. Because I was Luke Skywalker. Jedi master. A legend." Luke tells her.
Rey shakes her head, "The galaxy may need a legend. I need someone to show me my place in all of this. And you didn't fail Kylo."
Luke looked up at her.
"Kylo failed you," She tells him, "And I won't."
{THE LAST JEDI}
AMARA ANXIOUSLY awaited Vira. Within word being reieved from Connix that the crew of the medical frigate was being sent to them, made her overwhelmed. She waited and waited by the pods coming in, and one by one they opened up. When Amara saw Vira, she took off running to her friend. Vira saw Amara and was quick to embrace her friend.
"Mar," Vira says, "I am so glad you're okay."
Amara looks at Vira and smiles, "Me too, Vee. I was- I was so worried."
Vira kept the smile on her face, "You were worried?" She almost laughed, "You didn't have to see the Raddus get hit and think her best friend is dead."
Amara frowns.
Vira notices, "Oh- I'm- I'm sorry." Vira realized what she had said.
Vira and the others were notified on General Leia. How the leader is currently unconscious after somehow managing to survive that explosion into space, despite all the other leaders dying.
Vira looks at her friend, "How is she?" She asks.
Amara shrugs, "Stable," She says, "But still unconscious."
Vira gives her friend a hopeful smile, "Hey, the General is too stubborn to die. She'll be fine." She says.
Amara looks at her and says, "You can't promise that," She then gives her friend a small smile, "But I appreciate it."
Amara and Vira saw Poe coming over, he looked a bit anxious. Amara frowns. This cannot be good.
Poe looks at Vira and then Amara, "Can I have a word, privately?"
Amara glanced at Vira and then to Poe, "Poe, you can trust Vira."
Vira gives them a confused expression, "What- What is going on?" Vira asks.
Poe sighs and says, "Finn hasn't be contacting me. I'm beginning to get worried about this, what if we made a mistake sending them out?"
Vira glanced between them, "Finn? The trooper? Sent him where?"
Amara brushed off Vira's response, "Connix informed me that we only have fuel reserves at at least six hours." She says, "So whatever we're going to do, Captain, we better start now."
Vira shakes her head, "Wait- Wait? What? You need to fill me in on everything," She tells them, "Plus since when are you a captain?" She asks.
"The same amount of time she's been a commander." Poe says.
Vira nearly snapped her neck turning to Amara, "You got promoted?" She asks.
Amara nods, "Only if I spy on Poe."
Vira shakes her head again, "Okay, yeah it's time for a full explanation."
