down the corridor. All Amara feels like she has been doing since she got on this Stardestroyer was run. Hux, Chewie, Poe, Finn, and Amara were running towards a door. Coming near them were the three droids.

Amara hears familiar chirping.

"Oh yes, they're they are!" C-3PO yells.

Poe sees BB-8, "BB-8! Come on!"

Amara sees 3PO holding Chewie's crossbow and Rey's staff. Amara doesn't hear Hux as the door opens, she goes over to the droid.

"Where's Rey?" Amara asks.

C-3PO looks at her, "Why, she told us to come find you."

Amara frowns.

"Amara!" Poe calls out, "You're dad's ship is still standing!"

Chewie growls.

Amara gives and follows after them. As Finn, the last one to follow Chewie, Poe, Amara, and the droids was stopped by Hux.

"Wait, wait. Blast me in the arm." Hux says.

"What?" Finn asks.

Hux looks at Finn, "Oh they'll know."

Finn lifts his blaster up and then lowers it before firing it at Hux's leg. Hux yells and collapses onto the ground. Hux reaches for his wound and looks up to see Finn holding his blaster at him.

"Why are you helping us?" Finn asks.

"I don't care if you win," Hux says, "I need Kylo Ren to lose."

Finn held his blaster at Hux for a moment longer before turning away and running off after his friends on the catwalk. As the others ran across the catwalk, Amara halted for a moment. She grabbed a hold onto the railing and turned to look down at the hangar.

Poe stops and turns.

"Amara," Poe says.

C-3PO turns, "We are in quite of a hurry, Miss Amara."

Amara blinked back and shakes her head, "He's aboard." She says, "They're speaking."

Finn had glanced at Amara to Poe, "What is she saying?"

Poe moves pass the droids over to his girlfriend, he placed a hand on her shoulder. The second the hand touched her shoulder, she lifted her gaze onto him.

"Amara," Poe says, "What is it?"

Amara shakes her head.

She moves pass them and begins to run down the catwalk. This leaves the boys a bit confused but follows after her.

{RISE OF SKYWALKER}

the Falcon without running into any troopers, which seemed a bit odd for the boys. Amara kept gesturing for them to hurry.

"Come on!" Amara shouts, "Hurry!"

Poe got on first, followed by Chewie. The droids followed after the two pilots. Amara hung by the ramp with Finn.

Amara went to shove him into the Falcon, when Amara felt Finn grab her arm firmly.

"Amara," Finn says, "What is it?"

Amara snaps her gaze up to him, "You may just found out about being Force sensitive, but there are some thing you don't understand, yet."

Finn kept his gaze on her, "Help me understand it."

Amara shoves him forward, "Now isn't the time."

She shoves Finn into the Falcon and shouts through comms that they're in. The ramp goes up and the Falcon exits the hangar. Amara and Finn, who were by the ramp, heard Chewie call through the comms. Chewie was asking about Rey, where was the young Jedi.

"Back to the hangar we first arrived in," Amara says.

"You sure?" Poe asks through the comms.

Amara nods, "Positive,"

The Falcon flies outside of the Stardestroyer and heads to the hangar where they first landed. Poe and Chewie lift the Falcon up and see a lot of Stormtroopers inside there with Kylo Ren and Rey.

"We got company in there!" Poe yells through the comms, "And we're taking fire!"

"Just keep them off the Falcon," Amara shouts back, "We'll get Rey back onboard!"

The Falcon rotates itself to have the rear of the ship facing the hangar. Poe had flipped a switch causing a blast of wind to blow the troopers back, including Kylo Ren.

Although, the two Force users braced for it. Amara pushes the button and opens the ramp. Amara placed an oxygen mask over her mouth and heads down, Finn follows with an oxygen mask over his mouth.

"Rey-!" Finn yells, "Come on!"

Amara held onto part of the ramp that lowered down, she looks at her brother. Kylo Ren looks to her. Amara's eyes drift from her brother to see Rey looking at them, the two of them. Finn and Amara. Rey glanced away looking to Kylo Ren. Before she turns and runs over towards the ship.

The young Jedi sprinted and then jumped into the air, she was braced by two people grabbing her. Both Finn and Amara grabbed her and pulled her up the ramp, inside before she ran out of oxygen. The ramp quickly pulled up and the ship took off out of Kijimi's atmosphere and then into hyperspace.

{RISE OF SKYWALKER}

gear was broken on the Falcon. So Amara, Finn, and Rey were trying to figure out how to fix it before arriving in the Endor System. Amara was a little away from Rey and Finn, she wanted to give them privacy. She knew Finn wanted to tell her about his new found Force ability, but is still a bit nervous.

"All that matters," Rey says, "Is the Sith wayfinder and finding Exegol."

Finn glanced at Rey, "That's what we're doing," He tells her.

Rey frowns, "He killed my mother and my father. I have to find Palpatine, and destroy him."

Amara lifts her head from a paneling she was working on with BB-8's help, she glanced over to Rey and Finn.

Finn seemed a bit disturbed by that, "That doesn't sound like you, Rey."

Rey doesn't acknowledge him. She closes the panel.

"The Rey I know-," Finn was cut off.

Amara stands up now from the paneling she was working on near the floor. Rey glanced over seeing Amara up and then back to Finn.

"People keep telling me that they know me," She says, "I'm afraid no one does."

Rey says nothing more but walks off. Finn was left standing there, he glanced over to Amara. The two looked at each other for a moment, before Amara quickly went after Rey.

"Rey," Amara calls out in the hall, "Rey-!"

Rey halts in her steps. The two female Jedi stood in the hallway, one having her back to the other. Slowly, however, Rey turned her gaze to Amara.

"Did you know?" Rey asks.

Amara gave a puzzled expression.

Rey took another step forward, "He knew it," She says, "But did you know it?"

"Rey," Amara says softly, "I need you to give me more than did I know?"

Rey sighs, "How long did you know I am Palpatine's granddaughter?" Rey asks Amara.

Amara frowns.

"How long, Amara?" Rey asks.

Amara shakes her head, "A while actually," She says, "I- I had feeling overcome me one night and it was like I just was told it by someone."

Rey frowns and looks away, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"It was not in my right to do so," She says, "And it wasn't Kylo's right to tell you. You should've learned it on your own."

Rey scoffs, "What difference does it make?"

Amara frowns, "Maybe no difference, I don't know. But it wasn't for us to reveal to you. This wasn't his story or mine to share." She says.

Rey looks away.

Amara reached out with her good hand and rested it on Rey's shoulder. Rey stepped back out of Amara's grasp after that.

"Rey, this doesn't change who you are." Amara says, "Your lineage means nothing."

Rey glanced back at her, "Oh right. Lineage means nothing to you? The daughter of Han Solo and Leia Organa. The granddaughter of Darth Vader. The sister to Kylo Ren."

Amara wanted nothing more to slap Rey in the face for that spiteful comment, but instead just shook her head.

"Darth Vader wasn't my grandfather and neither is Kylo Ren." She says, "Anakin Skywalker was my grandfather and my brother was Ben Solo. Call it what you want, but I celebrate the good not the bad."

Amara then moved pass Rey to head in the direction of the cockpit. Leaving Rey alone, alone in the Falcon with her thoughts.

{RISE OF SKYWALKER}

out of hyperspace in the Endor System. At this point everyone was in the cockpit, although some quieter than usual.

"According to the coordinates," Poe calls out, "The wayfinder should be there."

Poe points to a planet, or rather a moon.

Amara looked to where Poe's finger pointed. She heard Chewie call out, he knew that moon. Amara moved out of her seat and rested her hands on the back of the pilot's seat. Poe, still pointing at the moon, looks to Amara.

"Amara?" Poe asks.

"Kef Bir," Amara spoke.

Poe glanced at Amara and then to Chewie. Chewie growled, saying how this is the location where the second Death Star loomed the system in the final battle of the war.

"Alright," Poe says, "Strap in, because the landing gear is not fully working so landing might be rocky."

"The landing gear was not properly fix?" C-3PO exclaims, "We might be killed if we try to land wrong. The odds of us landing without any injury is less than zero point-."

Amara goes to sit back down and says, "Don't tell me the odds." She says.

As Amara sits back down and straps in, as everyone else makes sure they're strapped in, the ships begins to fly towards the moon. The moon of Kef Bir.

The Falcon flies into Kef Bir's atmosphere with no trouble at all. As the ship flies into the atmosphere, and everyone could see the moon's surface, Chewie called out the direction they needed to fly towards. The direction of the wayfinder. Both Chewie and Poe piloted the ship in that direction. Trying to slower their speed so impact to the ground wouldn't be met with injury.

"Hang on to something," Poe says.

Chewie growls back.

The ship begins to slow a bit more and lower more. The second the ship touched the surface, it dragged the ship until it came to a complete stop. It shook the people and droids inside the ship a bit, but no one was injured. The group wasted no time getting out of the Falcon, bringing with weapons and things that was needed. However, Amara grabbed Poe before they stepped out of the Falcon.

She grabbed his good arm and halted him.

"Amara, what?" He asks.

Amara grabbed a piece of cloth and then put a bacta on his arm, he winced and then she tied it off.

"You need to take care of yourself, Commander Dameron." She says.

"Oh and what of you?" Poe asks.

Amara grins, "Finn put bacta on my hand and wrapped it up." She shows her left hand, "See."

Amara glanced over to their team. Finn gestures to them to hurry up. Amara nods at him and then nudges her boyfriend off the ramp of the Falcon.

{RISE OF SKYWALKER}

up the large hill near the Falcon, all of them including the droids. C-3PO complained the entire time. Rey, Finn, Poe, and Amara seemed to be all leading it in a way, while Chewie kept watch over the droids as they climbed upwards.

It was windy and felt cold, sort of eerie to Amara as they reached the top of the hill. As they stepped a little forward to look what was in front of them, there was an ocean. A crazed ocean and then there was large remains of something from the past.

"What- What is that?" D-O asks.

Amara stepped forward now standing next to Rey. The two women looked at each other for a moment before looking back to the remains.

"It's the Death Star," Amara says.

"It's a bad place in an old war," Rey says.

Poe looks at it, "It'll take us years to find what we're looking for." He said.

C-3PO looks around, "Oh dear."

Rey mutters something. Amara glanced over and Rey reached into her bag, pulling out the blade. The dagger. Rey is looking at the dagger. She saw something sticking out on the handle, she picked at it and then pulled out a half circle. She looked at the half circle and then to the remains of the Death Star. They looks similar.

Rey held the blade up now. The boys now notice and walked over with Amara right behind. They watch as Rey moves the blade to line up with the half circle on the blade. Then, then it is when Rey finds the spot.

"The wayfinder is there," Rey says.

A second after that, they hear the sounds of Orbak growling. Poe reaches for his blaster with his good hand as does Finn.

"Heads up," Poe says.

They all turn around to see what appears to be a tribe of people riding on Orbaks approaching them on the hill. They stopped maybe a few feet from them, but did not attack. Although, that didn't stop Finn or Poe from lowering their weapons.

"Rough landing," The woman spoke.

"I've seen worse," Poe says.

"I've seen better," The woman says.

Still no fighting. Although, Poe and Finn held their blasters out. Amara felt Poe put his injured arm out to extend it in front of Amara, as a way to shield her.

"Are you Resistance?" The woman asks.

Poe kept his eyes on her, "That depends,"

"We picked up a transmission from someone named Babu Frik," She says.

C-3PO turns to the woman, "Babu Frik, oh he's one of my oldest friends." The droid says.

Despite the light heart response from C-3PO the tension between them all was still apparent. The men and woman on their Orbaks stared them down as did Poe, Rey, Finn, Amara, and Chewie.

"He said you'd come," She says, "He said you were the last hope."

Poe and Finn begin to slowly lower their weapons, although not fully trusting but at the same time Babu sent a message to them.

"We have to get to that wreckage. There is something inside there that we need." Rey says.

The woman looks to Rey, "I can take you by water," She says.

Finn gestures to the water, "Have you seen the water?" He asks.

"Not now," The woman says, "That's too dangerous. We got first thing tomorrow."

Rey steps forward, "We can't wait until tomorrow." She says, "We don't have the time."

Poe glanced from the woman then to Rey.

"What's the choice?" Poe asks, "We gotta get the ship fixed."

Poe puts his blaster in the holster and begins to head up to speak to the woman, asking for spare parts.

"I'm Jannah," The woman says.

"Poe," Poe introduced.

Amara watched as Rey's gaze moved from where Poe was to the Death Star. She knew Rey was sensing something from the remains of the Death Star, Amara felt something. Something cold. She pulled herself to hug herself. Amara felt someone nudge something at her. She glanced over at Finn. He had taken off his brown jacket and offered it for her.

"Take it," Finn says, "You look cold."

Amara grabs the jacket and smiles, "Thank you."
