Odette had expected horrible things to come form that ship. Storm Troopers and perhaps the few unaccounted Padawans that Ben had chosen to be by his side. Maybe even Ben himself. No, not Ben. She had to remind herself the Ben she knew was no more, burnt away by the dark. And what emerged from the ashes was Kylo Ren. Yet, Kylo Ren and his follows did not stalk down the ramp of this ship. Instead, it was a man, woman, and what appeared to be a Wookie. This confused the girl at first, staying on guard with Saber held tightly. That was, until the woman moved toward her quickly. She caught sight of the woman's face and immediately her saber withdrew and dropped her saber so as not to hurt the woman rushing to her. A moment later, the woman held her hands, asking where Ben and Luke were.

[color=00aeef][b]"L...Leia...?"[/b][/color] Yes, this was her. She had never met the woman herself, but she recognized her from a hologram she had once seen on the ship she and Ben would travel on in their missions. There were also times she would see glimpses of these three, very quickly, during shared visions with Ben, but he never let her see much, blocking the three from his visions and from her. Leia looked so worried about Ben and Luke and for a long moment, Odette stood there, staring at her, not wanting to speak. Not wanting to tell the woman what had happened. And, as she stood there, there were even tears that had begun to fall from Odette's eyes. 

Seeing this, Leia moved from holding the younger girl's hand to pulling her into a embrace, Odette hugging the woman back tightly, a soft sob escaping Odette, her words coming out more rushed than she meant to, the horrible events still fresh in her mind,[color=00aeef][b]"I tried....I tried so hard to help him....to stop him....I'm so sorry....I failed him..."[/b][/color]

[color=630460][b]"No...no you didn't...it was not up to you to fix him...none of this was your fault."[/b][/color] Leia pulled back form the embrace to look to the girl, [color=630460][b]"You did all you could."[/b][/color]

[color=00aeef][b]"And it wasn't enough." [/b][/color]Odette said softly, shaking her head, [color=00aeef][b]"Ben is gone....I have no idea where Luke is...everyone....the padawans....are dead. Snoke is using Ben to do horrible things and...I...I'm not sure what I can do."
[/b][/color]

Leia was quiet for a moment. She placed a hand on Odette's shoulder, opening her mouth to speak once more, when the shrill sounds of flighters entering the atmosphere could be heard. 

Odette turned her gaze tot he sky, eyes going wide, [color=00aeef][b]"Oh no...they followed me!"[/b][/color]

[color=630460][b]"Quick!"[/b][/color] Leia said, urging Odette toward their own ship, [color=630460][b]"Get inside, we need to get out of here, now." [/b][/color]

By now the ships that had come through the atmosphere were shooting their lasers down at the four of them. Odette had quickly scooped up her saber from where she had dropped it on the ground, doing her best to deflect the lasers with both her own saber and with the Force. Soon, the four had boarded the ship, allowing with the two squealing BB units. Han and the Wookie had taken to the piloting seats and as Odette quickly made her way into the main area, she looked to the man, [color=00aeef][b]"Where's your firing system?"[/b][/color]

It was the Wookie that roared the answer and Odette nodded in understanding. Part of her studies in understanding the many cultures of the Universe for the missions she and Ben would go on was studying as many languages as she could. And of course, upon Ben's mention of knowing a Wookie himself, that was one of the languages she had picked up. She was moving swiftly across the craft and down into the firing station, climbing into the seat and putting on the headphones to communicate with Han and Leia while she took up the defense, [color=00aeef][b]"Just keep flying. I'm going to try and get these First Order ships off of us."[/b][/color]

[b][color=a36209]"Look kid,"[/color] [/b]Came the voice of Han, urgently as he had the Millennium Falcon burst through the atmosphere of the planet, [color=a36209][b]"This ship isn't some toy, you need to--"[/b][/color]

[color=00aeef][b]"Don't worry."[/b][/color] Odette said, firing at one of the TIE fighters, shooting it from the sky,[color=00aeef][b] "I can do this. Ben and I took out plenty of these guys on our missions." She let out a yelp of surprise as the chair swiveled but quickly caught her balance, shooting at the enemy again, "This may be a bit old fashioned in terms of weaponry, but it's not too different."[/b][/color]

She heard some grumbling of complaints about her comment of the Falcon's weapons being 'old fashioned', but no other complaints of her shooting and getting the Order off of their trail. She went on, taking the ships out of the sky, giving Han time to prepare for a jump to hyperspace. There was a quick warning through her communicator to 'hold on tight' and then the ship jerked, lurching at hyperspeed, taking them far away from the few remaining fighters that had been pursuing them.

Now out of the order's reach and them not knowing where the junked up ship had gone, that left them safe for now. She let out a breath, leaning back as she took the communicator from her ears and slowly began making her way up to the main part of the hold, where Hand Leia, and Chewbacca came out to meet her. She took a deep breath as she stood there,[color=00aeef][b] "I'm sorry for getting you into this mess. I didn't think they would have found me so soon. Snoke...after the attack, captured me. I managed to escape, but...I thought I had more time."[/b][/color]

[color=630460][b]"Odette,"[/b][/color] Leia spoke, making Odette herself look to her in surprise, having never told the woman her name. Yet, she knew who she was, [color=630460][b]"Please, tell us what happened."[/b][/color]

Slowly getting over her surprise in the fact that these people knew her name, she slowly began speaking, moving to sit down at the nearby table as she spoke, [color=00aeef][b]"Something....was very wrong. It has been for a while. Ben.....slowly began slipping...I tried to help him we were a team and always looked out for each other. And for a while, it seemed like the support I would give him was helping....but after a while...it seemed like nothing I could do eased him. And then, the day that everything happened, he....he tried to kill Luke. He was choking all the Padawans. I tired to stop him and he managed to snap out of it...but was clearly bothered."[/b][/color]

She took a shaky breath, [color=00aeef][b]"I spoke to Luke and he said he would speak to Ben in my place. I hoped that maybe he would listen to Luke and we could work on doing something else to help him."[/b][/color] She shook her head, [color=00aeef][b]"But then....Ben came to me in the middle of the night. He was so upset, trembling. His robes were dusty and he looked like he had been in some sort of struggle. He told me....he told me that Luke attacked him."[/b][/color] She looked up to them finally, [color=00aeef][b]"He said that the Jedi and the Rebellion were the things that were evil, and that he was going to destroy everything. Kill everyone."[/b][/color] She buried her face in her hands as she sat there, [color=00aeef][b]"And he did. I awoke in some hiding place to find the padawans slaughtered and the temple in ruins."[/b][/color] She removed her face from her hands, looking to them once more, [color=00aeef][b]"He had a few padawans join him. They attacked me and took me to Snoke. They tried to get me to join them, but I wouldn't. They kept me there for two weeks, but I finally managed to get out and come here, hoping...to find someone that survived."[/b][/color]

Taking another deep breath, she continued, [color=00aeef][b]"That's when I found our droids. BB-8 belonged to Ben, and BB-11 is my droid. They recorded what happened after I was taken. Luke...he survived Ben's attack, buried the padawans, and left. I....don't know where he could be. I can try to search for him, but it might take a while."[/b][/color]

Leia seemed to have not been surprised by what she was saying. And to Odette, it seemed as though her explanation more of confirmed something than told the woman new information. She was silent for a moment, taking in all that Odette said, before she walked over, sitting next to the girl and placing a hand on her shoulder, [color=630460][b]"Don't worry...we'll figure all this out, and we'll search for Luke. Thank you for trying to help our son, Odette."[/b][/color]

Odette nodded to what Leia said, though slowly looked to her, then Han and Chewbacca, and then back to Leia, [color=00aeef][b]"How...how did you know my name?"[/b][/color]
