Chapter 5: The Mission

                                    

                                          
Rey was almost done prepping the Falcon for take off. After receiving the recording she knew that Ryloth was in desperate need of help. It would only be a quick mission, with a large group. Her, Ben, Finn, Poe, Chewie and BB-8 were all going. She was very nervous about hearing the hunter, Garrick Saxon, she felt as if she had heard that name before, she just didn't know where.
                          
     "You almost ready?
                          
     She turned around only to see Ben, except this time he was wearing a black jacket she had never seen before.
                          
     "Almost, I still have to prep the compressor, it's still down."
                          
     He looked at her carefully, "You seem tense, is something bothering you?"
                          
     She turned to look at him, "It's just... that name, Garrick Saxon, I feel like I've heard it from somewhere."
                          
     "It's okay, I told you I promise I wouldn't let any harm come to you." He looked down at her and she smiled and nodded.
                          
     "Rey right now, before we leave, I'm about to say something that might cheer you up."
                          
     She looked at him and was confused. He looked at her and slowly he bent down and stood on one knee and Rey placed her hand over her mouth and had the other holding Ben's hand.
                          
     "Rey, I may not have known you for a long time, but I want us to be together for a long time, I don't want to leave you. But answer me this one question," she kept looking at him with astonished eyes. "Rey, will you marry me, will you be my wife?" She looked at him and she began to smile, nodded and said, "Yes." 
                          
    Ben stood up, grabbed her by her waist and back and kissed her.
                          
    Once everyone was on the Falcon they took off for Ryloth. Obviously Rey and Chewie had to fly it because no one else knew where Ryloth was. It took them quite a while to get there and when they did, no one said a word to the sight of the planet. It was a gray, depressing and desolate place. Villages burned and destroyed, children running around, babies crying for food. It made Rey very upset. They reached the prime minister's temple and awaited him. 
                          
     "At last you finally came, thank god!"
                          
     The prime minister looked to be about 30 years of age, with silver hair, sad eyes, and a scar that traced from the left side of his eye, past his lip and down his chin.
                          
     "I see you've received my message," he said. "I was beginning to wonder that no one was coming, and here you are at last."
                          
     "We've come because you told us of a man named Garrick?" Rey asked.
                          
     The prime minister froze and said, "Follow me please, quickly." Everyone followed him into his study room. He shut the doors tight and made sure they were bolted.
                          
     "I've asked you to come because I am in need of help," he said. "Just recently, Garrick had come to Ryloth to play out a negotiation, that I would give him my city if I surrendered my troops and backed off, I denied his offer and he said that I would regret my answer."
                          
     Rey felt a chill go down her spine her head was pounding, "And you think he came back for revenge or to take your city?" She asked.
                          
     "I don't know, but three days ago my men saw smoke coming from the valley's, they went to investigate and found that there was a mining system under our city." He said.
                          
     Rey looked at Ben and he gave her a reassuring smile, "We'll do what we can to stop him," he said. "But I'm afraid we might have to come back tomorrow at first light, it's already late."
