Chapter 10: Escape the Rathtars
(Quick note: listen to Learn to Fly by Foo Fighter during this chapter.)
"I got a bad feeling about this." Han said after seeing the lights go off and on. Chewy roared back his complaint.
"This was not my plan." Amilyn said a bit embarrassed Finn told Rey to cut the green wire. A roaring sound started coming from another room. But it wasn't Chewie's....
It was a Rathtars.
The gangs looked around confused. Then out of no where one of the Guavian Death Gangs soldiers was lifted in the air by a scarlet red tentacle. It flung him around as if he weighed nothing. The soldier yelled in fear as it flung him around the room.
"Well at least they're getting off our backs." Amilyn reassured herself, "Run!" She said as Han, Chewie, and BB-8 followed behind her as the Rathtars closed in on the gangs.
(Rey's POV)
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WAS THE BLUE WIRE AND NOT THE GREEN ONE?" Rey asked furiously at Finn. He had said to cut the green wire to shut the doors so the gangs couldn't kill Han. But instead they'd cut the one that sent some monstrous beasts out. Or least that's what everyone's told her about these beasts.
"Look I forgot what she said I had to improvise..."
"YOUR MAKING ME GET EVERYONE KILLED!" Rey furiously said to Finn. It was good to kill the gangs, but it could definitely kill Amilyn and the others.
"Look, I'm sorry!" Finn said as he and Rey ran down the corridor. The cell door was open from one rathtar had been. They froze there hearing the screams of people growing closer. A chill ran down Rey's spine. This how'd she die surrounded by morons and a smartass droid she thought to herself.
"Do you have a plan?" She asked Finn.
"We could die any second! And I have nothing!" Finn said fearful of the beasts. Suddenly, a beast crashed through the doors. They sprinted down the corridor as it came closer to them
"This was a mistake." Finn yelled to Rey.
"HUGE!" Rey agreed. "What do they look like?"
Two Guavian death gang members run in front of them and one of them gets grabbed by the tentacle. The beats revealed its ugly face with teeth right in the middle. You could barely see the blood drip down from a meal they've just had.
"LIKE THAT!" Finn said turning to the left. "LETS GO THE OTHER WAY." They ran the other way as the two Rathtars from either side met up with each other. They turned separate ways looking for Rey and Finn. They climb up a ladder, they breathe heavily as they stand up.
"That....was...a close....one." Finn breathed out.
"Too...close" Rey breathed out. They get up and walk. The corridors up here seemed like they hadn't been hit by the Rathtars yet. But there was supposed to be one up here. Finns body was slammed to the ground as soon as the thought crossed her mind.
"REY!" Finn yelled as it dragged him away.
"FINN!" She shouts as she runs after them. The Rathtar turned a corner faster than Rey. Rey halted to a stop there could've been three ways they could've gone. North, right, and left...UGH! So many ways and not enough time for Finn to have a living chance.
"REY!" She could her him echoing against the walls. She remembered the control pad was near her. She rushed to see all cameras everywhere up on this section of the ship. Her eyes lit up seeing Finn on one screen.
She looks to see the button that controls the doors. She waited till the tentacle holding Finn didn't make it through the door. She hit the button hard and it slammed shut on the tentacle holding Finn.
She ran down the corridor to see Finn. He was completely disgusted with a chopped off tentacle still around him. He tried getting it off, but was having trouble getting off the tentacle. Rey pushed the tentacle. Yuck! It was the most slimy and disgusting thing she'd touched ever.
"It had me! But the door..."
"I had a control panel and closed it." Rey explained to the confused Finn. All they needed to do know was find Amilyn, Han, the wookie called Chewie, and BB-8 before they became the beasts next meal.
(Amilyn's POV)
Amilyn ran over to a small doorway that lead to the docking bay. Han and Chewie took cover with her as BB-8 hid behind her. Han and Chewie fired their guns as Amilyn tried frying the circuits of the door. A blast pierced Chewie's arm and he let out a long roar filled with agony from the wound.
"Chewie! You okay?" Han asked his old friend. The wookie roared an answer to Han, but it didn't seem good. Amilyn had had enough of this. This chaos. They needed to get out alive. Chewie might be injured, but they had her....a Jedi.
"Chewie get by the door." She ordered Chewie who reluctantly walked to the door.
"What are you doing?" Han asked nervous she would get killed.
"I'm doing the right thing." She held out her hand and felt the force flow through her. The Rathtars froze and the Gangs guns didn't work they froze in mid blast.
She had her eyes closed trying to concentrate, so she didn't know if it was working. Han looked in awe at what he was seeing. He knew that his niece was powerful, but didn't realize how much her powers had grown.
Rey and Finn had come from the other side. "Why are they frozen..." Finn asked trailing off to see Amilyn using the force. Rey looked around it was amazing to see what these powers of Amilyn's could do.
BB-8 opens the door and allowing them to get out. Amilyn backed out of the room slowly as the door closed she let go of the force. The Gangs and Rathtars unfroze. Their blasts hit everywhere as they yelled for help that couldn't come.
Han helps Chewie onto the ship as they run behind them with BB-8 rolling with them. Han closes the door as soon as everybody gets in. "Hey kid!" Han said to Finn. "Take care of Chewie's wound for me."
"WHAT?!? But she's the trained one in medics." Finn said meaning Amilyn.
"I wasn't trained by someone. I was trained by myself. I trained myself and listen to Han alright?" She said asking Finn if he'd be fine. Finn nodded as Amilyn followed Han and Rey to the cockpit.
Han stands at the navicomputer flipping switches. Amilyn took the first pilots seat while he flipped them. Rey took the second pilot seat next to Amilyn.
"What are you doing?" He asked Rey.
"I'm helping." Rey answered. "Because Unkar put a fuel pump somewhere."
"God I hate that guy!" Said Han sitting behind Amilyn. She smiled at his comment on the bastard that ruled Rey's life for the most part.
"Also you could use a co-pilot." Rey added
"I have one. And he's back there." Han responded.
"Amilyn, watch the thrusters because we're going into lightspeed."
"From inside the hangar? Like you did when I was five and the Gamorreans were everywhere?" Amilyn asked recalling the memory.
"Exactly!" Said Han buckling himself in.
"You've been in this ship before?" Rey asked.
"Look the last time I was on it was when I was five. A year later, it was stolen by Duncan." Amilyn explained flipping her control panels buttons. Rey also tapped at each of her buttons as she got her answer from Amilyn. "Is this even possible?"
"When you eliminate the impossible, what ever is left must be the truth."
"Or just don't tell me it can't happen." Said Han hearing the words come out of Amilyn. He hated when people went into droid talk like every droid unit did when it came to the impossible.
"Ready!" Amilyn said to Han.
"Alright now pull the....!" BAM! A rathtar just jumped onto the ship. Its teeth against the glass. Its breath must smell awful after eating some scoundrels.
"Go! Go!" Said Finn struggling to but cloth around Chewie's wound. Amilyn pulled the yoke and Rey pulled the hyperspace lever. The beats slithered off the ship very fast as soon as they hit hyperspace.
Amilyn felt something different. She sensed the darkness that had called Ben all these years ago. It was growing every minute they wasted time trying to get BB-8 back.
"Now that was some improved flying Amy." Han said smiling at Amilyn.
