With the holomovie paused, everyone took their time in order to try and calm themselves down for fear of succumbing to the dark side. Anakin still glares angrily at the paused screen, just barely keeping his rage under control, only because of Obi-Wan and Ahsoka. The other Jedi do their best to release their emotions into the Force before continuing the holomovie.

INT. MAZ'S CASTLE - BASEMENT CORRIDOR - DAY

Maz leads Han, Finn and Chewie down the hall, fast:

MAZ: I've had this for ages...

MAZ'S CASTLE - TREASURE ROOM - DAY

Maz opens the box - holds out the lightsaber to Finn:

MAZ: Kept it locked away.

"Where'd she get my lightsaber is the question I want to know." Anakin says.

Nobody has an answer for him, even Yoda not knowing where the lightsaber could have come from in the first place.

HAN: Where'd you get that?

MAZ: A good question for another time. (TO FINN) Take it! Find your friend!

Finn grabs it as the room is SHAKEN by an above ground attack.

MAZ: (CONT'D) Those beasts! They're here!

"This is not good." Obi-Wan says gravely.

EXT. FOREST - DAY

Rey and BB-8 race fast back toward the castle - EXPLOSION SOUNDS can be HEARD from the direction they're headed!

EXT. FOREST - DAY

Rey races through the trees - sees Maz' castle - BEING DESTROYED BY FIRST ORDER SHIPS! Aliens RUNNING, GETTING OBLITERATED by SCREAMING TIE FIGHTERS! Other TIE FIGHTERS and TRANSPORTERS LAND, STORMTROOPERS in attack.

Everyone gapes at the sheer destruction that the First Order is unleashing onto the castle. Yoda's ears droop sadly. He liked Maz, and she had always been proud of that castle lasting for centuries.

"I get that they serve the dark side and want BB-8 but, what purpose do they have in destroying that castle? They don't even know where the droid is!" Ahsoka exclaims in disbelief.

Anakin shakes his head in disgust. "A bunch of unnecessary destruction just to make a point."

Just then, filtered RADIO CALLS get Rey's attention: nearby STORMTROOPERS have spotted her, AND FIRE!

STORMTROOPER: FN-417, hold position!

Rey takes cover, grabs her BLASTER - but IT WON'T FIRE! She panics, then realizes:

REY: Safety!

Obi-Wan shakes his head in irritation. Blasters are and always will be a distasteful weapon. Much better to use a more civilized lightsaber.

SHE SWITCHES OFF THE SAFETY and FIRES BACK! HITS TWO TROOPERS and retreats, calls to BB-8: BB-8 follows Rey AWAY FROM THE CASTLE, firing back at more chasing Troopers!

"Pretty decent aim for a beginner." Anakin remarks.

"Must be her Force reflexes allowing her to do that so well." Master Fisto says.

EXT. MAZ' CASTLE RUINS - DAY

Kylo Ren moves through the DEBRIS. A Stormtrooper approaches:

STORMTROOPER #4: Sir, the droid was spotted heading west, with a girl.

Kylo Ren LOOKS BACK SHARPLY, in Rey's direction -

Everyone grows worried, fearful for the girls life and the safety of the droid. She may be Force sensitive, but she has no training at all. She won't last a second against a Sith Apprentice!

"Where's a Jedi when you need one." Ahsoka says glumly.

EXT. FOREST - DAY

Rey and BB-8 move swiftly, terrified - she stops them:

REY: You have to keep going, stay out of sight, I'll try to fight 'em off. (BB-8 BEEPS; bravely through her fear) I hope so, too.

BB-8 BEEPS and heads off - Rey RUNS and TAKES COVER behind a massive, mossy tree. TIGHT on her TERRIFIED FACE -

"Brave young girl." Master Mundi observes.

A few other Masters nod in agreement. She is clearly terrified, but will fight the First Order off for the greater good if she has too, like a true Jedi.

EXT. CASTLE DEBRIS - DAY

Han, Chewie, Finn and Maz, exhausted, CLIMB UP, peek through debris. Han fires at two Stormtroopers, taking them out before pointing his gun somewhere else without looking. He pulls the trigger subconsciously, taking out another Stormtrooper that was about to fire on him. He looks over in surprise.

"What a stroke of pure luck." Anakin remarks, being unable to hide a grin at the sight of what Han just did. Obi-Wan shakes his head. "More like foolishness."

"There is no such thing as luck." Master Mundi says.

Anakin and Ahsoka secretly roll their eyes at the comments.

HAN: Come on, Chewie!

Maz turns to Finn:

MAZ: Rey and BB-8, they need you. Now go.

FINN: I need a weapon.

Maz grabs his wrist - holds up his hand - THE SABER.

MAZ: You have one!

Obi-Wan beams. "At least she understand that lightsabers can be an elegant weapon," he says.

He looks at her questioningly - he's supposed to use the lightsaber?! He TURNS IT ON.

While he isn't the one wielding it, Anakin still takes some pride in the familiar blue glow of his saber. He lays a hand on the saber on his belt without thinking about it, and the crystal inside seems to hum a little bit in the Force, almost as if it knows what's going on.

HAN AND CHEWIE RUN, TAKE COVER from BLASTS, FIRING BACK at Stormtroopers, taking some out!

HAN: Hey, can I try that?

Han borrows Chewbacca's bowcaster, fires on Stormtroopers and sends them flying.

HAN: I like this thing.

Anakin and Ahsoka grin at the sight of the powerful bowcaster while Obi-Wan shakes his head. Seeing that it's a Wookiee weapon he'll let it go for now, as the Wookiee's are a very remarkable species.

FINN SURPRISES A STORMTROOPER WITH THE LIGHTSABER, then another! Untrained, he's athletic, brave, impressive. One Stormtrooper has a MACE -

STORMTROOPER: Traitor!

The trooper pulls out an electrified baton, and Finn readies himself for a fight.

"Huh. That's a new one." Anakin remarks.

The two exchange blows, and Finn presses down hard in a saber lock when the trooper gets the upper hand, blasting him away with the baton. The Stormtrooper is about to end him, when THE STORMTROOPER IS SHOT AND BLOWN AWAY! Wide-eyed Finn sees Han run over, having fired the blast! Han helps him up.

"A close call indeed." Master Plo says.

HAN: You okay, Big deal?

FINN: Thanks!

But TEN STORMTROOPERS come over a RISE, BLASTERS AIMED.

STORMTROOPER Don't move! TK-338, we have targets in custody!

Everyone watches the screen with worry, seeing the impossible situation that the group is in. Without the use of a Force user, Anakin's lightsaber can be easily beaten by a single shot from a Stormtrooper

No way out, they DROP THEIR WEAPONS: TIGHT on the LIGHTSABER as it HITS THE GROUND. A STORMTROOPER HAND picks it up. Han's MIND RACES as a SQUAD OF TROOPERS appears behind them. Finn, Han and Chewie are MARCHED by Stormtroopers back toward a transport, hands on their heads.

"Just like that?" Anakin exclaims in frustration.

But then - A FAMILIAR ROAR RIPPING ACROSS THE LAKE - Han turns - they all do: coming toward them across the water, X- WINGS AND RESISTANCE SPACECRAFT APPEAR, PUSH IN ON HAN, HOPE SURGING - CHEWIE TALKS.

"I wouldn't count on their capture just yet Skywalker." Master Mundi says.

STORMTROOPER: (CONT'D) We have incoming at two-eight-point- six! Move! Dispatch! Move! Scramble all squads! Repeat, scramble all squads! Anti-air cover en route to our position!

HAN: It's the Resistance.

Finally! The Resistance is finally coming into play for the first time they've seen. Hopefully they can defeat this Stormtrooper attack and retrieve the map to Skywalker so that it's out of the First Order's reach!

One X-WING in particular - MARKED IN BLACK - SWOOPS DOWN and leads the others.

INT. POE'S X-WING - DAY

It's Poe Dameron at the stick of his X-wing.

Everyone gapes at Poe in surprise. He's alive?!

"What!? How'd he survive? Where was he in the crash from before?" Anakin exclaims in surprise.

"I can't believe he somehow managed to escape that fighter and Jakku all on his own!" Ahsoka says in stunned agreement.

Nevertheless, everyone is happy to see Poe still alive. He was a spirited fellow, and brought a sense of joy and fun to the situation with his sarcastic responses and upbeat attitude.

POE: Go straight at em don't let these thugs scare you!

JESS: (V.O.) Copy that!

SNAP: (V.O.) We're with you, Poe!

The Stormtroopers around Finn, Han and Chewie SCATTER, TOSSED in EXPLOSIONS! The LIGHTSABER LANDS AGAIN - FINN PICKS IT UP. HAN Quick! Chewie picks up his Bowcaster, Han takes the blaster. Shoots a Trooper. Poe's X-Wing can be seen taking out many TIE fighters all at once, giving the Resistance a major edge.

Anakin whistles in awe. "I have to say, I'm actually impressed at his flying skill. I've never seen anyone else fly so well before!" he says with praise. Master Koon nods in agreement,

"Indeed Skywalker. Poe Dameron certainly is a talented fighter pilot for one not Force-sensitive."

FINN: Woohoo! YEAH! That's one helluva pilot!

INT. POE'S X-WING - DAY

POE: WOOHOO!

EXT. FOREST - DAY In the darkened woods, Rey, terrified, keeps her blaster aimed. Her eyes dart around for her pursuer. And then: THE UNIQUE SOUND OF KYLO REN'S RASPING LIGHTSABER COMING TO LIFE - A SOUND she's HEARD BEFORE in the FORCEBACK.

Everyone immediately goes quiet with worry. That didn't sound good at all, and now Rey was all on her own against a Sith Apprentice who would either kill her, or worse.

"Come on Rey..." Ahsoka mutters under her breathe.

Rey's heart skips a beat: she's even more scared now. Kylo Ren appears from behind a tree - Rey FIRES again and again - Kylo Ren moves toward her, USING HIS LIGHTSABER TO DEFLECT EVERY BLAST. She FIRES ferociously, but Kylo Ren keeps coming! His hand rises - Rey suddenly STOPS - GASPS - UNABLE TO MOVE.

Seeing this Force ability again leaves everyone stunned, especially since he appears to be doing it with little effort. Some of them on the Council including Yoda have been able to pull off similar feats, but not to this extent, which is worrisome.

KYLO REN: The girl I've heard so much about.

He walks AROUND HER, slowly, she won't let herself cry.

KYLO REN: (CONT'D) The droid.

He comes around to see her face. After a scary beat he WHIPS HIS SABER UP TO HER EYES, ILLUMINATING HER FACE.

KYLO REN: (CONT'D) Where is it?

"This is a very bad situation." Obi-Wan says.

WIDE SHOT: THE EPIC BATTLE BETWEEN RESISTANCE AND FIRST ORDER TROOPS, REFLECTED IN THE STILL LAKE.

STORMTROOPER: Request air support!

Everyone watches the brief glimpse of battle, hoping that the Resistance will be able to defeat the First Order before Ren can do anything.

EXT. FOREST - DAY

Kylo Ren TURNS OFF HIS SABER, reaches up... and REACHES TOWARDS REY'S FACE. She can't move, strains in agony. After a beat, surprised by what he finds, he removes his hand. She is relieved but still afraid.

KYLO REN: The map. You've seen it.

"Oh no..." Ahsoka says in worry. Everyone else shares her fear of the situation. If Kylo Ren finds Luke Skywalker before the Resistance does, then the Jedi Order will have no hope. Mace is frustrated. Why is the Jedi Order on the verge of extinction?! Surely this Kylo Ren, or Snoke could't have killed everyone! They may be powerful but the full might of the Jedi should be more than enough to stop them.

Rey is horrified. He TOUCHES HER FACE again: the pain, tears stream. Kylo Ren, taking more from her mind... She stares at him, TERRIFIED, straining in agony - Kylo Ren, mid-interrogation, TURNS TOWARD THE SOUND OF THE EXPLOSIONS. Stormtroopers APPROACH through the woods.

STORMTROOPER #5: Sir, Resistance fighters! We need more troops.

Kylo Ren TURNS BACK TO Rey, his hand still on her face.

KYLO REN: Pull the division out. Forget the droid. We have what we need.

A GESTURE from Kylo Ren and REY LOSES CONSCIOUSNESS, FALLS FROM FRAME!

"He can do that too?" Ahsoka exclaims in horror.

"That's just absurd!" Anakin says in agreement.

EXT. CASTLE DEBRIS - DAY

The BLACK-MARKED X-WING SWOOPS DOWN again, FIRING, EXPLODING another TIE Fighter! On the ground:

STORMTROOPER Pull back the tree line! Han and Chewie dodge debris, FIRING and TAKING OUT TROOPERS. FINN takes out 2 TROOPERS with the blaster, then, out of breath, turns to see: Kylo Ren in the forest, CARRYING REY IN HIS ARMS, INTO HIS SHUTTLE!

Finn's heart SHATTERS - Han stops - turns - sees Kylo Ren entering his shuttle. Han is ROCKED.

Seeing Kylo carrying Rey to the shuttle reaffirms their worst fears. Without proper training, Rey will not be able to resist his interrogations at all.

Seeing Han's reaction to Kylo Ren has some of the Jedi watch in pity. Who knows how it felt to watch as your own son turned on you and fought for evil. Mace however remains indifferent, still believing Kylo's fall to be Han's fault.

FINN: NO! REY!

Heroically, Finn runs toward the shuttle through LASER BLASTS AND EXPLOSIONS, but the shuttle TAKES OFF - Finn irrationally CHASES IT, SCREAMS DESPERATELY:

FINN: (CONT'D) No, no, no, no... REY!

In crazed frustration, Finn stops running, watches the receding First Order ships, Rey their captive.

A lot of the Jedi are heartbroken at the sight, Anakin especially. He could connect with the girl in so many ways through their upbringing, being forced to work hard to survive an unforgiving landscape.

EXT. FOREST - DAY BB-8 moves fast, then stops and looks up as the First Order ships RETREAT, OFF PLANET. A considered beat, and BB-8 heads BACK FOR THE CASTLE.

Yoda lowers his head and sighs. He can only hope that things turn out for the better, because the First Order is beginning to gain the upper hand in the fight for the galaxy.
