  Escort to Erzic II - Ivic City.

"Cross check." Bacredi asked his wingmate, Khan.

"Affirmative," Khan said, his Raven Starfighter flew past a Corucanti Tower.

Bacredi took lead, his Raven flew past a couple of Frigates. And then he began to climb, hitting atmosphere a moment later, Zhar knew it was his home.

"Copy, um... do you have the hyperspace jump location?" Bacredi asked Khan, attempting to find them on his NAV System.

"Let me check." Khan said, dropping his Raven a meter down to avoid collision.

"Spearhead this is Grey 6, what is your position over." Bacredi said, drooping down to follow Khan's course.

"Grey 6 this is Spearhead sending locations to you now."

"Affirmative, Grey 6 going off station." Bacredi saw 4 Digits click across his screen, then avoiding a Blockade Runner he flew straight towards the location. Looking down at the Corucant Skyscrapers he remembered his home, Belkadan. And thought of how tragic it had been to leave.

"Here we are," Khan said, moving his Raven to the left of Spearhead, a Mu-2i Shuttle.

"Spearhead this is escort, ready for jump when you are." Bacredi said, moving to the right of the Spearhead. "Confirm destination: Erzic II."

"Destination confirmed, hyperspace jump on my mark." The Spearhead's Captain said, initiating the Hyperspace jump. Khan and  Bacredi both initiated hyperspace as well.

"Khan," Bacredi said through the COM as he was looking at the hyperspace warp. "Why are we going here again?"

"Zhar, seriously." Khan stopped for a split second, "I have no idea."

"Well then, I am shutting down all un-needed power." Bacredi's interior lights shut off.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Bacredi padded the COM, "Khan, systems up." Moving his fingers over to the lighting button he clicked it, the lighting lit up. "All ships this is Escort 1 drop out of hyperspace now."

Escort 1 and 2 dropped out of Hyperspace. The small world of Erzic II was the only noticeable thing out side of Bacredi's Cockpit, but when Bacredi leaned closer he noticed Erzic I and III. "Were is Spearhead?" Khan asked Bacredi.

"That slow ship, is..." the Spearhead suddenly dropped out of hyperspace, right inbeetween Bacredi and Khan.

"Sorry for the wait gents," the Spearhead's Captain seemed happy for a strange reason, "Lets move in on me everyone."

The three ships formed up, no asteroid, meteor, or another ship was in sensor, or viewing range. Erzic II came into a larger, more visible shape as they neared it.

"Confirm destination: Ivic City?" Zhar asked the captain just as they broke left.

"Destination confirmed."

"Captain, what starport?" Bacredi asked the Captain, decelerating to match the Spearhead's speed.

"Starport, what Igno?"

"Excuse me sir?"

"Escort 1 and 2 we have incoming fighters, 5 Ships of Unknown class, we will scan them now." the Captain sounded frantic, Erzic II stopped becoming bigger as all three ships had turned there arses back, and now faced 5 Fighters, Zhar knew what class they were. "G1-M4 Class Fighters, we can fend for ourselves move behind their ranks and take them out from here."

"We can't take 5 of those!" Khan exclaimed. Moving his Raven to shield the Spearhead.

"I am afraid we have no other choice Escort 2, do it now." the Captain's ship dove down avoiding laserfire, the laserfire then fell towards Erzic II.

"Escort 2 on me." Bacredi said, accelerating towards the ships. He dodged laserfire that came by the dozen. Then doing a barrel roll he broke their lines. "I am in."

"Good, we will attempt to get reinforcements from Erzic II."

"Copy," Bacredi said, facing the backs of the enemy fighters. He pulled the trigger, four laser blasts hit one of the ships, the ship doubled back and detonated.

"Escort 2 coming on front." Bacredi watched as Spearhead fired her weapon system. Escort 2 came at them with full speed and let loose three green blasts, nailing one of them but only damaging them.

"Escort 1 I can not hold them much longer!" The Captain now sounded frantic.

"We are working as hard..."

"We have taken a hit from starboard, can not hold the ship much longer."

Two more of the ships blew apart, Bacredi sported 2 kills and Khan 1. Bacredi dove down to meet the Spearhead's attackers fire, Bacredi's Raven took it on the wing, it chipped the paint off and then Bacredi spun out of control.

"I cant..." Bacredi attempted to avoid enemy fire, doing a barrel roll and he quickly regained control of his fighter. "Firing missile."

One missile came from his Raven's bow, impacting on one of the ships and then caused a chain reaction killing the last two.

"Sir, I suggest we head down to the surface as quickly as possible."

"Point taken, full speed to Ivic."

"Roger," Bacredi said, moving his Raven to the side of the Spearhead.

Ivic came in full view when Bacredi broke atmosphere, it was a island. A island that was covered with a sprawling metropolis, three fourths of the city was under-water.

"Wow, I have never been here before. What starport sir?" Khan questioned.

"Starport Ivic Coom."

Two minutes later the Spearhead landed on a large, and rusted platform. There were four separate smaller platforms that were stationed on the sides, Khan and Bacredi decided to land to the closest ones.

"Interesting," Khan said, getting out of his Raven. Blaster on his hip, "Never been here, probaly never will come back."

"Yeah," Bacredi said, walking out of the seperate landing platform to overview the Spearhead. "I wonder why, there was attackers."

"I dont know." Khan replied back.

Four Imperial Officers walked off the ramp, flanked by two Stormtroopers and then finally the young Captain they had been talking to the entire time.

"Who is that?" Khan asked, referring to the graying Human that was walking towards the Spearhead, he was obviously concealing something under his jacket but Bacredi didn't know what. Bacredi un-holstered his S-5 Blaster.

"Ah!" A squeal from the man just as he ripped off his coat and detonated the bomb that was under it.

"No..." Bacredi was flung back by the force of the bomb, getting up he grabbed his pistol from the ground. Running over to the bodies he realized that there was lasers flying at him. "Khan cover me."

Khan was on Bacredi's back, aiming his DL-44 at a masked attacker Khan shot twice, but they were pilots. And both shots missed.

"AH!" Khan fell to the ground, a blaster wound just above his heart.

"No..." Bacredi shot back at the attackers, four green blasts flew from his pistol. One of the four masked attackers fell to the ground in agony, the other shots missed widely.

"This is Imperial Navy Escort 1, call sign "Zeta" I am requesting immdiate back up from any Imperial Forces in Erzic II or Ivic City. Three more shots were fired from Bacredi's pistol, one nailed a attacker in the head, he fell off the platform and plummeted into the skyline.

"Zhar..." Khan trailed off.

"Khan one second!" Bacredi screamed back, Bacredi then grabbed the Captain's SE-14 Blaster and fired two shots at a time. Four more shots from each of the pistols killed one more attacker, the last attacker retreated but four blaster bolts defeated him in seconds.

"Ah... please no!" The first person Bacredi had shot on the platform lay there, blood coming out of his mouth.

"Sorry." Bacredi pulled the trigger, a green blast flung into his mouth.

Zhar ran along the platform, hit the turbolift button. When the lift came he boarded it immediately, Khan was on his back in seconds, and he to jumped into the lift.

"What, in the name of..." Khan stopped abruptly, he was panting to hard. "What the hell just happened?"

"I don't know." Bacredi said, getting of the turbolift at a run. His blaster was now holstered. The skyline of Ivic City was littered with air speeders, and starfighters. Citizens of Ivic were walking all around Bacredi and Khan. None of them realizing that Khan was losing blood quick, and that it was dripping all over the place.

"That building!" Khan said, pointing to a apartment complex just about forty meters away.

"Got it, you ok?" Bacredi asked Khan, as they both set off at a run towards the building.

"i am fine." Khan said, reaching the building in record time they burst in, the lobby wasn't much. There was two Twi'leks in a corner, and a mix of other species all around the room.

"How may I help you?" a human female walked up to Khan and Bacredi, she looked friendly but her tone said otherwise.

"Do you have any vacant rooms?" Bacredi asked her, standing in front of Khan to shield her view of his wound.

"Yes we have-" Bacredi cut into her sentence.

"Closest one, how much?" Bacredi asked her. Now stamering.

"100 Credits a night." She finished, Bacredi shoved a chip into her hand. "Well then, its 5809. Have a nice day."

The female reached out her palm, and showed them the key card. Bacredi grabbed it, and in a rush he and Khan headed towards the elevator. When it opened they both rushed in past a group of Ithorians. Hitting 58, the elevator spun up and within half a minute they were at the level.

"Come on Khan, just a few more steps." Bacredi encouraged him, running to room 09 they stopped. Pressing the key card in it opened immediately.

"Ah, relay a code to the fleet. See if they can get a message." Khan ordered Bacredi, even though they were both the same rank.

"Yeah, I will do that." Bacredi said, picking up his COM. "This is Zhar Bacredi, Escort 1 and 2 are still alive. The Spearhead's Crew is KIA. They were attacked by either Terrorists, or bounty hunters. It can not be confirmed at this time. We are currently hiding in Ivic City, please respond." Bacredi clicked the relay button and set it down.

"Nothing sleep cant fix." Khan said, moving over to one of the beds, and then setting his but down on the bed like it was his Raven. He then moved over and laid on the bed, falling asleep instantly.

"Ok then," Bacredi said, grabbing a chair and moving it by the door, "I got the watch."

He un-holstered his blaster, and then laid it on his leg.
*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * 

"No relay back from fleet," Khan's voice rang through Bacredi's ears. He immediately stood. He had fallen asleep. "Looks like were going to have to hitch out own ride."

"Got it," Bacredi said, standing up from the chair now. And then grabbing his datapad out of his pocket. "Nearest starport is... well. Was the one we came from. The other nearest starport is 10 blocks from here," Bacredi hit the info switch. "The nearest starport is 10 blocks from here, we may purchase ships there as well."

"How can we afford a ship?" Khan asked, laying back down on the bed.

Bacredi showed Khan his blaster, and the switch that said stun, and shoot. "Stun them, take the keyes."

"Got it, lets go." Khan said, grabbing his blaster from the bed-stand and opened the door.

"You ok?" Bacredi asked, realizing his wound looked healed.

"The shot scraped me, no damage."

"Ok." Bacredi ran out the door, walked down 9 rooms. And hit the elevator, it opened half a second later showing the same interior he was used to before.

Khan hit the Lobby Button, then in the same speed they were there. "Miss, excuse me."

"Yes," the female walked over to them again. "How may I help you."

"Do you have a air taxi?" Khan asked her.

"Yes sir we do." she said, "It is complimentary, were to?"

"Albumic Starport," Bacredi cut in.

"Ok, let me get the speeder."

Ten minutes later they boarded the speeder, a aging man that wore a green suit drove them to the starport in about a minute, the starport was gleaming silver. With close to no civilian traffic going in, or out of the building.

"Thanks," Bacredi said to the driver as he got out. "Khan ready?"

The speeder buzzed off, leaving Khan and Bacredi alone on the street. "Set to stun."

"Yeah," both of them set their blasters to stun. Then they walked into the plaza, there was a guard. He was poorly armed, and didn't even notice them.

"What floor can I get a ride?" Khan asked the man standing next to him.

"This place isnt a taxi service, they sell ships." The man exclaimed.

"Well, thanks." Khan turned to Bacredi and hushed his voice to a whisper. "Looks like this is going to have to go down the bad way."

"Yeah, lets get the elevator." Bacredi rushed over to the elevator, grabbing the door to stay open he walked in and hit Star-Sales.

Five minutes later, as passengers got on and off they were at the top level. "How may I help you?" A Twi'lek that spoke basic asked them.

"I need two ships." Bacredi exclaimed to the Twi'lek, walking towards the desk.

"Any specifications?" He asked.

"Hyperspace drive capable." Bacredi shot back.

"Ok, that will be 300,000 Credits if you want the cheapest ones.

"No need," Bacredi raised his blaster. Two shots rang from Khan's blaster, two guards hit the ground. "Were are the ships?"

"You... You... You cannot." The Twi'lek began to mumble.

"Sorry," Bacredi shot him twice.

"Any one want to tell me?" Khan pointed his blaster at another salesman.

"in the back!" The man screamed, "You need a droid to use them though!"

"And that droids?" Bacredi asked them.

"Down the hall." A woman shot in.

"Well, thanks all of you." Bacredi heard the door open behind them and turned, three civilians stepped in. Three blasts from Khan's Blaster silenced there screams.

"I got the droids," Khan said.

"Get the best ones." Bacredi said, walking around the room. There was a chair, and two large couches. The men and woman that hadn't been stunned coward in corners.

"Here," Khan walked out with two R6 Astromech droids, "What ships?"

"Let me check." Bacredi ran over the the man, "What type of ships?"

"X-Wings," he said.

"How preditable. Thanks everyone." Bacredi shot them all. And then ran into the back room, and accesed the hanger doors. X-Wings, Y-Wings, all ships anyone could imagine stood there. "Lets move Khan."

They loaded the droids into the ships, "Cross check."

"Steady," Bacredi got into his ship. "Lets move."

Both X-Wings flew out of the hanger, suddenly alarms began to sound inside the hanger. "Just in time," Khan said.

"Yeah, lets get out of this backwater planet." Both ships flew into space, and began to head for the hyperspace jump point.

"Incomin fighters!" Khan shouted through the COM.

"Lets just make it to the jump point."

"We dont need to make it, we are here."

Both ships then cross checked the coordinates. And initiated a jump, the blue warp showed in all around them, and Bacredi, knew he was home.
