OOC: D_Coas is Zakath. I call him D_Cos, ok. I pulled hard left as pair of scarlet laser bolts streaked past my cockpit. I realized I was taking these newbie A-wing pilots too lightly and getting careless. I still had shields, although they were down to 25%, but that didn't matter. I felt another jolt on my shields and cursed as I pulled into a inverted dive. The A-wing pilot stayed with me, obviously having more skill than the rest of his squadron. Little did I realize that he was merely a deversion, something for me to focus my attention on. A second A-wing was closing in fast, lasers yelling at my half defended ship. My TIE rocked as several shots bashed against my hull. I quickly transferred some energy into my shields and went totally evasive. "I could use some help over here. I'm being double teamed." "Gotcha boss. I'm on my way there now. Hold on." came Kain's familar voice. I could see his craft blazing towards me, but he was a good 3 km out. I would never make it. My shields were down and my hull was damaged. The two A-wings zeroed in for the kill. I'm not sure which one got me, but my sim lights blinked on and my 'canopy' raised.

     "Unleash the power of the Dragon!" - Michael "sk8guy" Rose

"Arrgg!  You sons of bitches!" Kain yelled as the two A-Wings destroyed Sk8 TIE Advanced. Kain gunned his throttle and went zooming towards the two A-Wings that just blew up Sk8 fighter.  He locked onto the A-Wing that was closer to him.  The TIE Advanced was closing in fast, as soon as Kain was in range of the A-Wing, he fired his laser cannons.  Green streaks of laser bolts came flying out of the tips of the laser cannons.  The A-Wing was shredded by the laser blasts.  Kain's fighter zipped past the exploding A-Wing and targeted the other one.  He cut his throttle down and made a sharp turn.  Now he was going head on with the A-Wing.  Both fighters fired their lasers at each other but both of them stayed on course, their shields were dropping and they kept firing.  Then finally the A-Wing chickened out and juked out, taking this opportunity Kain gunned his throttle and tailed the A-Wing.  Lining up the A-Wing with the targeting cursor, he let out a barrage of laser cannon fire tearing the A-Wing apart. Kain checked the status of his shields, they were down to 8%.  Pushing some buttons he transferred most of his engine power to his shields boosting it up to 56%. Kain checked the status of the mission, the Corvette Runner had taken some minor damage from the A-Wings, less than half a squadron of A-Wings remained.  The mission was almost complete only a handful of A-Wings were left, after they are destroyed Aegis will be half way done with the mission.   ----------------------- 2nd Lieutenant Kain "Fire Bomber" Rennok FM/2LT Kain Rennok/Aegis 3-2/mSSD Atrus/VE/VEN [=A=] [=SA=] [=MA=] [=JCPA=] [=SCPA=] [=FOCE=] [VC:ST] [BRC] YF-19 AVF "Black Rain"

  Darkhawk sprinted into the simulator room and strapped on the appropriate gear. Spotting out one of the empty simulator chairs, he leapt in and booted up the program. He noticed a few Aegis pilots standing around, obviously having been shot down already, but he spared no time to talk to them. He had to get into the mission before it was over – and time was probably running short.   Darkhawk took a quick glance around and saw that he was smack dab in the middle of the battle. He had read all of the mission objectives, and realizing that this was Mission 3, he didn’t need to even think to know that he was in a TIE Advanced or what his mission objectives are. Another quick look at his status screens showed the corvette Runner in good shape and hardly any Rebel fighters in the surrounding area. In fact, the only enemy starfighters left were five A-Wings.   Damn. The boys already took them out. This isn’t going to be fun at all.     “Lonewolf, where are you?” Darkhawk called into the communicator. He was having trouble finding his squadron commander on the radar screen.     “I’m here, and I’ve got an enemy fighter hot on my tail. Who is this, anyway?” Darkhawk could tell Jace was straining under the effort of avoiding enemy fire from behind.   “This is Aegis Three, reporting in and ready to go. Sorry for the delay.”   It took a second for the callsign to register into Lonewolf’s mind, but he soon answered, “Darkhawk! You son of a bitch, get over here and lend us a hand. We’ve almost got this mission under wraps.”   “No need to tell me twice, sir.” Darkhawk looked around for a second. “Kain, long time no see. How’ve you been?”   Rennok laughed on the other side of the line. “Save the conversation for after this, all right, pal? These last few A-Wings are giving us trouble. There are only four of us left.”   “Roger that,” Darkhawk replied. “PJ, help Liquid out. I’ll nab the bogey on Lonewolf’s tail. Kain, try to intercept that A-Wing heading for the Runner.”   “Who died and made you leader?” Liquid chided. “Uh, sir?”   Darkhawk shook his head and smiled. “Sorry, it’s instinct. Uh, mother may I, Lonewolf?”   “I don’t care who tells who to do what, get this A-Wing off my rear, NOW!”

"What do you mean, more fighters?!" Darkhawk exclaimed. "Can't you read your scanners?" Liquid shouted back. "There is still an entire squadron of X-Wings hanging back there!" "Sorry," Darkhawk replied, "but it must be a glitch in the program. I'm not picking up anything on radar. However..." A few seconds later his voice rang loud and clear in Liquid's mind: I can't feel them through the Force in a simulator. You're going to have to let me peer into your mind, to see what you see. It shouldn't be any problem for me to keep up then. You mean, you want to read my mind? Liquid asked. No, not exactly. I'm not quite powerful enough to do that. I will just open my mind to yours so that I can perceive what you do through the Force. Only the sense of it; I won't exactly be "seeing" per say. Whatever it takes. What do I need to do? Darkhawk laughed. "Just keep an open mind, Liquid, and focus on the battle." "What's going on over there?" sk8guy called. The other Aegis pilots who had been killed were coming up qucikly. "New arrivals," Lonewolf ordered, "form a perimeter around the Runner and protect it from torpedos. Everyone else, form up on me and attack the X-Wings. Darkhawk, take the lead since you have the most shields. Kain, Liquid, hang back until yours recharge." "Roger that," Kain answered. "Let's take 'em out."

Liquid pushed his controls forward, dodging and darting here and there, avoiding the blasts of crimson that were flying past his fighter. He pushed hard, feeling the presence of Darkhawk's Force in his mind.    He lined up with a piece of scum, firing away with quad linked lasers, and quickly knocking the X-wing's shields down to nothing. He let out a curse as the X-wing reduced his throttle, and Liquid flew past him, knowing that it was a stupid move on his part. Before Liquid knew what he was doing, he dropped a flair just as the X-wing was throttling up, seriously damaging the hull of the ship. It's defenses were now at 10%, making it an all to easy target for Liquid to pick off. He looked over to Kain, and saw that he too was in the same situation, knowing that they were both having much fun giving the simulator patented Aegis dancing lessons. "Yo Kain," Liquid shouted, taking out the X-wing he had been dogging with, "Wanna have some fun?" "You know it man!" Kain shouted, doing the same with his target. "You know how to do it?" Liquid shouted, forming to the left wing of Kain, knowing what needed to be done. "Yep, I sure do man," Kain said, going underneath Liquid and opening up on the next X-wing that opposed Aegis's Elite ranks.

He broke hard, seeing a rebel X-wing diving for the hull of the Runner coming perilously close to the hull, spraying it with crimson laser blasts that only rebel ships had. Liquid powered up his engines, knowing he had to take out this guy quick, he was becoming a menace to society. This rebel scum had to be swept under the rug. He pulled on his controls, making a nice tight loop, and going vertical on the X-wing, slamming green turbo laser blasts straight to it's shields. "That'll learn ya'," Liquid said, watching the enemy fighter explode. He couldn't believe how good it felt to be killing so many people in such a short time, he was getting an incredible rush from the Dark Side. Liquid couldn't tell if he was killing for his team or killing for himself anymore, and he didn't care. All he knew was that it felt good, damn good. "Tack another one up Kain, we're going in!" Liquid shouted, pushing hard on the throttle, transferring a little power from his shields to his engines to catch up to the veteran pilot. "Time for even more Aegis dancing lessons!!!!" Liquid shouted as another X-wing came into Kain's and his sights.

He watched as all the Aegis pilots picked their targets, leaving none for him and Kain, who were left to defend the Runner from incoming missles. "Was it so much to ask? Just one more kill?" Liquid said, slamming his helmet down onto the floor from his cockpit. "Yeah, it was, Krath boy " Darkhawk said, placing him helmet calmly onto the rack, and heading for the lounge. Liquid called over his new mixr droid, and got some drinks for the tired squadron, after all, killing the scum and cleaning their boots was hard work. "Hey guys, I got an announcement," Liquid said, standing on a chair to raise himself above the rest of the guys. "If we win," he begun, "the Elite Squadron Competition, I'm buying any of you guys that got more than 4 kills in the sims your choice of a landspeeder, a speeder, a swoop, or even an airspeeder if you ask me politely enough, how does that sound?" Liquid said, knowing he had the dough to back it up. He heard an overwhelming "Yes Sir!" and began taking orders of what the men wanted. He sighed as they all wanted what was gonna cost him the most, and he might not be able to find all the cash. "Hold on," Liquid said, grabbing his datapad, and thinking to himself, "I just might have the extra money I need."
