Dropping his throttle a few percent g5 slowly drifted in behind the pilot and loosed one quad blast. As soon as the blast had left his lasers he was going evasive. This was rogue squadron and the harder he could make it for the pilot to get a bracket on him the better. The X went evasive as soon as the first blast hit, thinking that the pilot would be loosing a second shot. When the second blast didn’t come he began to search for the pilot that had blasted him. G5 was already cruising along to the right of him; it didn’t look like he had ever been in position to take a shot. Keeping his eye on the X g5 was doing his best to look innocent. When the rebel turned towards him he waited for him to start turning away then snapped the TIE onto it’s side and pulled back on the stick as hard as he could. Rolling the ship back to its upright position he flipped his lasers to single and began to rake the area the X was in. A few bolts connected but most just flew off into space. The rebel’s shields were starting to get low, but it was going to be a knife-fight real soon. Setting the lasers to quad he snapped off one last shot as the cross took up a bearing on him and snap rolled to the left. Putting the throttle full forward he headed for the deck and then cut right hard. Pulling up put him back on the same plane as the X and within half a klick of the rebel. Cutting his throttle to maneuvering speed he began to go evasive. He was just in front of the rebel, about at his 2 o’clock. Cutting the throttle put him to even. Throwing the fighter into a leftward roll that managed to also draw his craft to the right put him directly behind the X. The pilot knew exactly where he was and pulled up hard. Going up and to the right g5 expected him to cut out of it and try to roll back and get a shot while g5 still went straight up. By going right when the rebel left his climb he could get the jump while the rebel still was trying to find him. Every wasted second allowed the rebel’s shields to recharge. He had to act quickly. The X started rolling left, which would have put him directly in the line of fire of the Interceptor. Just before he could be fired upon the X cut back to the right and pointed itself down, directly towards g5’s interceptor. G5 swore to himself, the rogue had guessed the ploy and countered it. Breaking hard to the right the quad blast still carbonized a bit of his left solar panel. Snapping back to the left as quickly he popped a quad shot into the X, it landed just aft of the centerline. The shields fizzled, but g5’s second shot went wide over the top. Flicking to duals he began to fill the sky with fire. The X cut speed and snapped up and to the right, away from the fire. The move left him flying at the top of g5’s ship, with the right solar panel obscuring the command pod.

With Warmaker gone, it was upto MegaDeth to lead the squad. MegaDeth went to his squakbox to give out new orders. "Zed, Piett, take your wings and lets take out these guys. They may be the best, but so are we. Let's show them what Viper can do." "Roger that." said Piett." g5, Gravin, follow me." Piett lead his flight after Tycho, seeing he had taken out WM, he had a "bone to pick with him." There were other X-wings to be taken out, but the other flights would get them. Tycho was hard to catch, but g5 figured a way to counter that. "Piett, why don't we just focus our fire where we think he will be going? That way he'll be fried." said g5. "Good idea g5. He may be quick, but let's see how good his shields hold up against our firepower. With all of us firing at him, he won't be able to hold up for much longer." The three TIE Fighters stayed on Tycho's tail, but began firing at him. His shields held up for a while, so they kept on the pursuit. This was one craft that was going down for sure, wether one of them went with it did not matter...

"Should I let him die slowly, or put him out of his misery?"--Rizzit

since Warmaker got shoot down in the simulation he stands before the screens to see what happens now. The Executor was nearing slowly the Hyperspace entering Point, but also the remaining X-wings from Rogue Squadron where on the way to it to destroy the Executor before it is able to jump into the safety of the Hyperspace. "Hey Commander, you wanna play a few rounds sabbac with us?" asked Hammerman from behind Warmaker turned around and answerd "Later maybe, i wont to see what happens in the simulation. Hammerman and the most from the other Viper Pilots who got shoot down went to a table and started theyr sabbac game, but Warmaker dont wanted to play, he wanted to see what will happen, was it enough what they have done out there or not, Sure it was only a simulation, no real matter if they loose or not, but still, they had a mission to acoumplish and warmaker wanted to do it. "hmmm a few Minutes left, what is the status of the Executor?" asked Warmaker a controller "Bad, Sir, heavily damaged, they got just a few hits from torpedos." comes the answer Now it was not anymore a fight, it was a massakre, booth sides tryd to kill their opponents as quick as possible to finish their mission. The only Question was, who was quicker ......

"Have you ever kissed a Snake?"

Gravin tried to dodge the 3 X-wings coming straight at him. He flew left then came back to a hard right, getting hit several times.... Sheilds down, Gravin scared. For the first time Gravin felt scared in battle. He never once felt scared flying with Nazgul or commanding it. He was a Brave soul, a hard fighter and good leader.  As he saw the blinking of sheilds go out he thought to him self, "what the hell is going on." THen out of no where Gravin saw Warmaker get hit and destroyed. He screamed to himself, then starting firing and holding the trigger of his fighter. He flew hard back and noticed that an X-wing came up on his back, hitting him and blowing up his Fighter. ........................................................................ Gravin headed out of the SIMULATOR room and got mad to himself....... "How could i mess up on that Simulator. I fought almost every time and beat almost every ship" he said. "Argh." Gravin saluted Warmaker and asked what the next assignment might be. Gravin chuckled and Warmaker just looked around. "Why are u laughing Gravin. It isnt funny" Warmaker said. Gravin looked at him dissapointingly saying, "well things happen for a reason right? thats why we die in battle and lose the young guys faster. Only Veterans can make it through the tough ones." ----------------------- FL/2 Lt Gravin/Viper 3-2/VEN/VE/(=SA=)(=SCPA=)[VCB] First Owner of I'm Smart pin

Gravin went off thinking that his Pilot days were over. He felt an odd feeling in himself. A real fight, one he never omagined he would see again. He thought his pilot days were gone and done forever. He thought it was time for him to hit a desk job and train new pilots and even write death letters to families. He searched in himself for the bravery and courage he once had when he was flying back in the day with Aegis. Now he knows that the day has come for him to finally fly again. A hard, Courages battle is about to take place and Gravin's heart is throbbing from the pain and sorrow he once felt losing his Pilot's back in Nazgul when they were hit hard by the rebel group "Scavenger." His anger hit the point of non existence. His body shut down and he fell to the hangar floor. Warmaker and Piett ran over to see what was wrong. "Gravin! Gravin! get up!" Warmaker yelled. "Not now Gravin, you cant leave us. We need you for this battle" Piett said. Gravin sorta opened his eye's. "Where am I, What happened," Gravin looked up confused. "Ok where do i go from here?" Gravin asked.

After "dying" scout decided he wasn't going to miss the last few minutes of the battle. He went to the nearby snack machine and bought a small bag of Cheeto's and started eating them by the big screen. The few Viper pilots that were left were putting up a good fight with Rougue squadron. He just hoped they could hold out for another 3 and a half minutes. The Executor was inching towards the hyper point shown as a dot on the screen. It still didn't have full function on the engines only partial on less than half of them. The sheilds were damaged beyond repairs and there were only a handful of functioning turbolasers. Through the entire fight very little had changed about the executor's status. The one thing that had changed was that the hull status had been restored to 65%. He was afraid they might not hold off rougue long enough to protect executor. Those X-wings would make mincemeat out of something that big and slow. He just hoped...

As Hammerman was cleaning up the floor he couldn’t help but notice all the crumbs on the floor. “Our squad is so messy. We come out of a simulator and throw a little party when we get outside. Cheetos and Alcohol everywhere. And why should I have to clean it up? Just because I threw some folks through A table does not mean that I should have to clean up all of the mess. Maybe I could understand cleaning the table up, but having to clean to entire simulator? Absolutely absurd.” Hammerman continued to mumble and wallow in self pity until he had finished his job. When he was done, he noticed MegaDeth was still in the simulator. “Strange,” thought Hammerman, “I would have thought that MegaDeth would be dead by now or the Executor would have flow off by now.” Hammerman checked the simulator screen. The Executor had lost its engines and the rest of Rouge couldn’t kill MD. “Wow,” thought Hammerman, “That’s some High quality flying I’m watching.” Inside the sim MD was fighting for his life. He knew that he could not kill all of Rouge by himself but rather he should stall them until the Executor could escape. It’s engines were shot and thus it couldn’t leave for another ten minutes. “You know,” Hammerman thought, “MD’s gonna be thirsty when he comes out.” Hammerman went to grab a cold Bacardi and then he sat down to watch the finale of the show.
