AFTER RUNNING DOWN VARIOUS HALLWAYS AND CORRIDORS, Lila, Han, Finn and Chewie had taken cover.
Chewie was currently grabbing some explosives out of the black duffle bag he had bought with him and Han was keeping a steady watch.
Finn scanned the are, figuring out a plan, "We'll use the charges to blow that blast door. I'll go in and draw fire, but I'm gonna need cover." Finn admitted.
Lila eyed Finn, "You sure your up for this?" She asked, concerned about the risk he was about to take.
"Hell no— I'll go in and try to find Rey." He thought for a moment, "The Troopers will be on our tail. There's an access tunnel that'll lead too—"
Han started to gesture towards something behind Finn and Lila, and they were both extremely confused as to what the hell he was doing.
"Dad, what the hell are you—"
Her and Finn turned around to the direction he was pointing at and saw a figure climbing from inside the wall.
But that wasn't just any figure.
That was Rey.
A smile immediately plastered onto Finn and Lila's faces, happy to hopefully soon reunite with their new friend.
Footsteps could be heard from the corridor and Lila, in a moment of reaction, grabbed her lightsaber ready and Han clutched onto his blaster tight.
In this moment, they could easily get caught by a group of Stormtroopers. Then what? They either get captured, or die.
In the short moment they had before the footsteps got closer Lila's mind went to Poe.
Poe, her best friend.
But— was he? After the kiss, she was unsure.
Lila loved Poe.
She knew deep down, that she really did. But they had such a wonderful friendship and at a time of war, was it even the best time to get into anything like that?
Finn let out a quiet yelp when the person behind the footsteps revealed themselves to be Rey.
"Are you alright?" Han asked quickly, concerned.
Rey nodded, "Yeah."
"Good." Han smiled.
Finn scanned over her so many times that Lila was surprised he didn't go somewhat dizzy, "Are you okay? Did he hurt you—?"
"What are you doing here?" Rey then asked her own question.
"We came back for you." Lila smiled.
Rey looked stunned for a moment, like she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Finn grinned, "Of course we came back for you!"
Chewie wailed out and Rey looked like she was about to tear up, "He said it was your idea Finn."
Finn and Rey shared a quick, awkward embrace and Rey sighed gratefully, "Thank you."
"How did you get away?" Lila questioned.
"I— can't explain it. And you wouldn't believe it."
Han interrupted, "Escape now. Hug later."
As they were escaping, they devised a plan, knowing full well the other parts of the Resistance needed help.
Han and Chewie had currently gone one way, toward the Maintenance Hatch.
Lila, Rey and Finn had gone another, using Rey's tech skills to open the Hatch, so that Han and Chewie could get through, planning to throw and plant the explosives.
Rey swiftly yanked a piece of tech from the machinery and the Hatch opened.
"Yes, well done Rey." Lila cheered quietly.
Rey, Finn and Lila finally opened the Hatch and entered, seeing below them.
Lila tensed when she heard the sound of her father calling out her brothers name. "Ben!"
They were above Han and Kylo and Lila's eyes widened with fear. Her father was stood out there, on this small catwalk.
Han slowly began walking further out onto this catwalk, Kylo was at the other side.
"Han Solo. I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Kylo's, now, robot like voice, echoed. Kylo took a few steps forward.
"Take of that mask. You don't need it."
"What do you think you'll see if I do?"
Han stood their, confidently, "The face of my son."
Slowly, Kylo removed the mask and Lila's breath hitched seeing her twin brothers face.
Han clearly seemed jolted too, it was the first time seeing Ben— Kylo grown up.
Everyone watched them in silence.
"Your son is gone. He was weak and foolish, like his father. So I destroyed him." Kylo stated.
Han shook his head, "That's what Snoke wants you to believe but it's not true. My son is alive." Chewie slowly walked to the edge of the catwalk to look closer.
Lila wanted to be down there. She needed to be. She felt so helpless. That's when she turned to Rey and Finn, "I'm going down there."
"No— Lila you can't!" Finn protested.
Rey agreed with Finn, "You can't."
Ignoring their comments Lila finally took her lightsaber out of her pocket and raced off, hoping to get there as quick as she could.
Pacing down the passages of the Oscillator she finally managed to get down to the catwalk, next to Chewie.
"No. The Supreme Leader is wise." Kylo disagreed.
Lila watched the Stormtroopers gathering around, still slightly panting from the run she just did.
"Snoke is using you for power. When he gets what he wants, he'll crush you. You know it's true." Han attempted to convince.
It looked as though he hesitated for a moment. "It's too late."
"No it's not. Leave here with me. Come home. We miss you."
Kylo's eyes downcast to the floor and he looked back up at his father. "I'm being torn apart. I want to be free of this pain." Kylo quivered.
Lila's eyes softened at his words.
Han cautiously took another few steps closer, but halted. They were both in arms reach of each other.
"I know what I have to do, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it. Will you help me?" Kylo asked, timidly. For that moment, he sounded like Ben.
Han took his final step, "Yes. Anything."
With shaking hands, Kylo reaches out his lightsaber to Han.
Han grinned from ear to ear as his son gave him his lightsaber.
Just as Han reached out for the weapon;
Kylo ignited the lightsaber, causing it to completely pierce through his chest. The red light going right through Han.
Lila took a shaky step back, "No!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, as she watched her father fall of the catwalk and plummet. "Ben! How could you— why would you— how—"
Lila didn't hesitate to ignite the green lightsaber in her hand and look at her brothers stone cold face.
She ran towards him and went for a harsh blow to the side with the lightsaber and nearly got a hit on him, but blinded by her distress and anger, Kylo had her pinned on the floor easily. The red lightsaber ignited was inches to her neck, luckily when he got her down, he didn't manage to get a proper hit on her.
"Ben, why did you do it? I know your conflicted— please, weren't you happy? With Mom, Dad, Uncle Luke—" Lila sobbed quietly.
"Don't bother." Is all he said before Chewie wailed and fired at Kylo, hitting his side. Lila took that moment to quickly scurry back to her feet but before she could attempt another hit on Kylo, Chewie had grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, taking her away.
"No Chewie let me go! I have to go back— Chewie! Get me down!"
Chewie ignored her comments and the kick of her legs and retreated out of the base. In his other hand, was the explosive remote, and he hit the button, setting of the planted explosives.
After they had got outside and well away from Kylo Ren, Chewie finally put Lila down, he wailed at her and Lila sighed, nodding.
"We have to get to the Falcon— I— I know."
Retracing their steps, they reached the Falcon, Lila was still in tears, Chewie certainly wasn't himself and Rey and Finn were god knows where.
As soon as they entered the Falcon Lila wanted to cry harder. All of their memories, were practically in this ship.
All she asked for was her family back. Now her fathers gone. Kylo's fully dark. And her and Poe— well, she didn't exactly know.
In fact, she had no utter clue what to do next.
Chewie set up the controls for take off, in an attempt to find Rey and Finn.
All Lila could do was stay silent, the odd sob sounding once or twice.
She was in complete shock.
Her dad, Han Solo, was gone. Just like that.
How could Ben do it?
How could Ben kill his own dad?
How could he be so messed up?
Lila was so caught up in her thoughts she hadn't noticed Rey had just got onto the Falcon with an injured Finn.
His body seemed limp and it looked like Rey had been crying.
Surely— she couldn't lose two people in one night?
