(The last stand.)

Chapter seventeen:

The Delta squad was preparing for the Dark trooper's that were arriving in about ten minutes. They had went into the four way hall thinking that if something went wrong they could make an escape route. Rey Skywalker was sprouting new orders to the troops every second.

"Set a trap there Delta. Take that explosive and put it near that door. Let's do some reconstruction there Delta." Said Rey Skywalker.

"We have about two minutes left Empress Rey Palpatine." Said Boss.

"Ok check your weapons. Let's take advantage of those sniping positions." Replied Cale Lestin. Fixer and Sev got behind a couple of crates and took out their sniper rifle attachments. "Boss I want you and Scorch to be in control of explosives and grenades." Rey Skywalker unhooked her yellow lightsaber from her belt and said. "Let the war with our brothers begin."

Dark trooper's turned the corner and started to fire. "Set off explosives one and two." Said Cale Lestin. Two bombs were detonated and about ten troops were killed. Sev and Fixer was getting head shot after head shot. Scorch and Boss were throwing EC detonators which paralyzed the Dark trooper's long enough to allow Cale Lestin and Rey Skywalker to take them out with their lightsabers.

It had been fifteen minutes into the battle when Fixer was hit and took cover because of his wound. Boss yelled over to Scorch. "Go help 40."

"On it sir." Replied Scorch. As soon as Scorch left Boss was hit and he dove for cover. Sev and Scorch was to bogged down with the blaster fire to fire back. Cale Lestin and Rey Skywalker was all alone.

Cale Lestin used all the techniques that Rey Skywalker taught him, but there was too many Dark trooper's. Rey Skywalker knew that this is where she and her apprentice Cale Lestin would die. After all that happened, after all that she and Cale Lestin had learned they were to die here and accomplish nothing.

Suddenly an explosion came through the roof. Then from the smoke of the explosion Boba Fett appeared! Stromtroopers followed. Boba Fett started firing rockets and using his flamethrower the Dark trooper's was being pushed back! Boba Fett then started to make his way towards Rey Skywalker and her apprentice Cale Lestin.

He pulled out his EE-3 blaster rifle because his rockets were already used up. Boba Fett, Rey Skywalker, and Cale Lestin was all back to back.

Boba Fett was firing at the Dark trooper's while Rey Skywalker and her apprentice Cale Lestin were deflecting their blasts. After a couple of more shots and Force Crushes from Rey Skywalker and her apprentice Cale Lestin all of the Dark trooper's was defeated. Boba Fett then turned to Rey Skywalker and said. "Looks like you owe me one beautiful." A shot from a Dark trooper that was left was heading right for Boba Fett's head. With a flick of Rey Skywalker's yellow lightsaber she reflected it back at the Dark trooper and let out a. "Arrrrgggghhhh."

"Call it even." Said Rey Skywalker and Boba Fett nodded as a Stormtrooper came up beside them. "Sir it seems that the Dark trooper's are making their escape." Rey Skywalker got her orders out before Boba Fett.

"Order all Shock troopers outside and tell them to fire at will." Said Rey Skywalker. What was left of the Shock troopers roopers ran outside and blew up most of the transports that was left, while Rey Skywalker and her apprentice Cale Lestin was using Force Pull to destroy the rest of the transports. Cale Lestin and Rey Skywalker then walked over to the Delta squad and cured their wounds with Force Heal. "Good work Delta squad." Said Cale Lestin. If the Delta squad didn't have their helmets on Cale Lestin and Rey Skywalker would have seen them smiling.

Cale Lestin and Rey Skywalker then walked in to see Kylo Ren at his desk. "I have heard you did very well today Rey and Cale Lestin. You took down five hundred Dark trooper's. You have done well." Said Kylo Ren.

"Thank you Ben." Replied both Rey Skywalker and her apprentice Cale Lestin.

"But I have also heard that you risked your life for a member of a Delta squad member. A Sith Empress and her apprentice does not care about the death of a comrade." Said Kylo Ren.

"Does that mean you wouldn't care about me?" Asked Rey Skywalker. Kylo Ren's breathing stopped for a second. "That is not the same thing." Said Kylo Ren. "Yes it is, those men are mine and Cale's brothers when we are out on the battlefield." Replied Rey Skywalker. Kylo Ren sighed. "You are just like me when I was your age. And maybe in a way your. In any case, you did the right thing Rey." Said Kylo Ren.

Rey Skywalker then looked at Kylo Ren the way she never looked at him before. Not as a Knight of Ren or her enemy, but as her friend. "Thank you Ben." Replied Rey Skywalker. Cale Lestin and Rey Skywalker then turned around and was about to walk out the door when Kylo Ren spoke to them again.

"One more thing Rey. The Bounty Hunter has left to capture a smuggler on Tatooine. I just thought you might want to know." Said Kylo Ren. The door then closed behind Cale Lestin and Rey Skywalker without them saying a word.

As Rey Skywalker and her apprentice Cale Lestin walked down the hallway they noticed that the Stormtroopers was looking at them definitely. It's like they thought of them as a comrade instead of a enemy.

Today when they was willing to risk their lives for the Delta squad, they had won more than their trust they had won their loyalty.
