Part 1




Comm: This is not a drill, the death Star is under attack, all Tie squadrons prepare for attack, i repeat, this is not a drill.

* Templar heres the message, and makes his way to his Tie fighter. He straps in, preps the engines, and exits the hangar.*

Squadron Leader: "Ok people, this is the real deal, prepare to engage the rebel forces, focus on their stunt fighters, while our Star Destroyers take out their cruisers."

Squad Member:" Yes sir! lets give em hell!

*As Templar leaves the hangar, he immediately sees a squadron of X-Wings, they break formation, and scatter, he goes after them.

Templar: I have a few ships in my sites, back me up Jenson.

Jenson: you've got it Buddy!'

*Templar barrel roles a few times to avoid stray shots, and comes up behind his target, a lone X-Wing, he fires a few times, but the X-Wing does a few barrel roles of his own, makes a sharp turn. Templar follows his movements trying to keep up with it, in the background, he hears Jenson talking.

" Templar theres a fighter on your tale! take evasive action, I'll try to get him off you."

"Roger that, taking evasive action"

*Templar twists and turns, while still following his target X-Wing, as he moves, he sees the X-Wing from behind fire and miss. Templar tries to focus more on dodging blats then on his target, but manages to get in a luck shot, and he takes out the X-Wings aft engines, this is followed by a small shock wave and a thud, signifying the destruction of the ship behind him.*

" Good shooting Jenson, thanks for the assistance!."

"Anytime buddy, that was some nice shooting of you're own from earlier I-"

*Jenson does not get out the rest of his sentence as his ship gets hit repeatedly from behind, and with a final piercing death scream, Jenson's Tie explodes, followed by two X-Wings who fly through the debris, and lock onto Templar's Tie.* "Dammit, Sir, Jensen is gone, requesting assistance, theres two rebels on my tail !!"

Squad Leader: Negative, all of us are busy at the moment, we're in dog fights of our own, hold out for a second.

*Gulp* "Roger that, I'll try to hold out".

*Templar barrel roles to the left and does a flip, trying to get behind the fighters. The rebels match his every move, and fire repeatedly. Templar dodges most of them, but winces as he feels the jerk of a laser hitting one of his solar foils, taking his shields down to 90%. He grits his teeth and dives down to one of the many hundreds of Star Destroyers fighting over the moon Endor.
He flies low to the ship, just a few meters above the turbo lasers, with the two X-Wings behind him. He does another barrel role, and makes a very sharp turn to the left to avoid the blast of one of the turbo lasers. One of the two rebel fighters is not so lucky. He sees the explosion of one of the ships, with Turbo laser blast still going through the ship, and notices the doomed pilot's partner's confusion of the lost of its friend. He takes advantage of the distraction and decelerates drastically. The action results in the rebel fighter that was behind him speeding over Templar's head, still going at maximum dog fighter speed, and apearing in front of him. Templar quickly fires eight shots at the rebel ship, also taking advantage of the rebel pilots failure to switch to defensive position.He flies through the wreckage of the ship and continues his current flight pattern through the field of Star destroyers. He spies four X-Wing fires flying in a tight formation, and moves toward them from behind. There is a brief flicker of black, and the battle rages on...


P.S.

This is my first story for the VE, although I make starwars stories all the time please forgive me for any gramatical errors or boring parts.

Part 2



* On his way to his targeted X-Wings, a burning Tie fighter rushes past him, missing him by a mere 6 feet. Templar looks down toward the doomed Tie to see the insignia, and is dismayed when he realizes that it is the insignia of his squadron leader, with a yell from his comm, the squadron leader crashes into a Star destroyer.*

Templar: "dammit, ok all remaing pilots, our captain has been destroyed, and I am now the commanding officer, all pilots still alive please reply."

*Templar gets an "over from about ten pilots*

"Ok, I want five pairs of two ships each, stay close together so as to provide cover for each other, i don't want to see anymore of get destroyed. Move in closer to our Star destroyers so that we can have even more cover fire from there Turbo lasers. Be careful to avoid enemy turbo fire, and our own. Do you copy?'

* All ten fighters respond and form their pairs. One tie pilot joins up with templar*

"Ok sir, all fighters are in their positions."

"Good, lets go get em".

*Templar and his wing man barrel roll thir way behind the four X-Wings, and fire there lasers, hitting and destroying two of the four rebel's engines. effectivly putting them out of the fight. the other two break formation and do loop Dee loops, putting them behind Templar and his wingman.*

Templar: "Take evasive action and try to get behind them.'

"yes,sir".

*Templar zig zags and weaves through the field of Star Destroyers and MC.Cruisers. he dives down toward a Star destroyer, and hopes his plan works a second time.*

Templar: "Follow me closely, and try not to get vaporized by our own Turbo lasers.

"yes...sir, I'll try not to".

*Templar skims the surface of the Star Destroyer, avoiding blasts from the MC.Cruiser and the Star destroyer, but the rebels manage to follow his movements and avoid the blasts themselves.
"These must be pros" he thinks to himself. he winces again as two more shots hit his Engines, taking his shields down to 75%.8

Templar: "Dammit, Ok new plan, I'm going to retreat close to the MC. Cruiser, follow me. Do you copy?"

...

"Do you copy?'

...

*templar looks back, and sees that his wingman is gone, there is no trace of were he went.*

"Dammit, looks like I'm on my own, again."

*Templar flies low, avoiding shots and zig zags against the ship, when he feels a large shudder, and a lurch. He looks back to see a giant Green laser hit the MC. Cruiser he is flying on, and accelerates as he sees a giant shock wave come toward his direction. The shock wave gains on him, but he is able to barely out run it in his small, yet swift Tie Fighter, the slower X-Wings that were trailing him however are destroyed.*


* He slows down and takes a second to clear his mind from what just happened, "The death Star must have fired or something, I don't know what else is that powerful.." he thinks to himself.
He glances down at his controls, and realizes that even though the shock wave didn't envelop him, it took its toll. His shields were brought down to 60%.*

*Sigh* OK, all pilots report, i want a head count."

pilot: "well sir, we've lost Jackson, Billy Bob, and Thornton, and theres one more hear thats still alive, but we can't contact him, comm. damage perhaps. the rest of us are ok, but as it turns out the Rebels are proving to be rather over whelming, regardless of our superior numbers."

Templar;' ok, Form up, we need to get more organized."

"Yes, sir"

*Templar makes his way toward his other squad mates, shooting down an X-Wing that was unlucky enough to fly in front of him. he forms up, and th last six fighters fly close together doing various evasive maneuvers, when a massive cluster of ships fly towards them.*

"Sir! theres a massive group of A-Wings advancing on our position!"

Templar: Ok, prepare to engage, remember though, those ships are almost as maneuverable as we are.

*the squadron of ties break up, and fly toward the A-Wings...*

Part 3



* As the squadron flies toward the A-Wing squadron, templar's view screen suddenly turns black, then clears up again. once cleared up they are only a few hundred feet away from the enemy squadron.*

Templar: "Ok, people prepare to engage."

"Yes,sir, engaging enemy fighters now. I'm counting about ten enemy ships"

*Templar and the rest of his squadron fire a few times into the enemy formation, destroying three A-Wings, before they themselves break formation. Templar picks his target, a vulnerable pair of A-Wings, and dives toward them, firing his lasers. Both ships avoid the blasts and go into opposite directions. Templar follows the one with the most important insignia.*

Templar: I'm going after the leader, try to keep the rest of them off of me."

"Yes, sir.'

* Templar veers to the right, and comes up behind the enemy leader, he fires a few shots, but the A-Wing easily avoids them with his sharp maneuvering skills. The enemy ship accelerates, and flies into a cluster of twisted and charred metal, with templar close behind. the enemy ship rolls to the left, and flies through a hole in the center of a giant piece of metal with an Imperial insignia on it. templar tries to follow, but is forced to instead dive under the rubble due to another piece of metal that had floated in front of him. After going under the wreckage he looks around and realizes that he lost his target. He tries to use his scanner, but it is useless because of all the metal floating around him. It confuses the sensor.

"Hm.. i know he's lurking around here some were, but were? All pilots, how are you faring?

"We are doing fine sir, we have brought them down to five fighters, and the rest are beginning to retreat back to there capital ships. We have not suffered any casualties of our own. What about you?

Templar: I have lost my intended target, he is hiding some were in this scrap yard. i think i will be retuning to the main battle field to help you guys out."

" Yes,sir. We will hold our position in the mean time."

Templar: "By all means no, drive the rest of the rebels back to their cruisers, and i will rendezvous with you at your current position. I will-"

* As Templar talks into his Comm. he notices a sharp flash out of the corner of his eye, followed by a bright orange ball heading toward him. Thinking instinctively, templar guns his engines and accelerates forward. The proton torpedo misses him by a mere three yards. Templar does a loop Dee loop in order to get behind him, and fires his lasers, two blasts hit the A-Wing in the rear, causing the shields to sputter and go out. the A-wing, in a surprising turn of events, copies one of templar's own earlier maneuver. As templar focuses on shooting the A-Wing, the rebel pilot comes to a shuddering halt, and guns his ship back wards. Templar is so busy trying to blast the ship that the rebel easily ends up behind him, he fires six bursts, each one taking templar's shields down by 5%. This brings templar's shields down to 30%.*

*Templar grits his teeth and accelerates his Tie as fast he can, doing barrel roles every few seconds. Templars mind changes from that of an average tie pilots, to his old way of thinking, his reckless way of when he was a speeder bike racer. templar flies the through the rubble at blinding speeds, destroying everything small enough to destroy in his path with his lasers. Anything else to big to be destroyed he avoids. Even the rebel pilot in his swift A-Wing is taken aback by templars reckless driving through a metal infested field, and does not realize yet what templar is planning to do. After flying away to about a few miles away from his enemy, templar turns around and heads back in the direction from which he came, right toward the enemy pilot. The pilot, realizing what templar is about to do, reverts all reaming power to regenerating his forward shields, he then accelerates toward templar's on coming ship.

*Templar puts all power to his forward shields, and flies toward his target, preying all the way. once in range both ships fie upon each other, templar does a few barrel roles to avoid the shots, but does not put to much effort into evasion to how wide the shots are going, because of their distance from each other. After a few seconds of firing at each other, the two pilots are with in a range of about 10 meters, templar times his movements and waits for the appropriate moment.9 meters.... *sweat starts to form upon templar's brow, but he is to focused to wipe it off. 6 meters... *templar braces himself for impact. 3 meters... templar barrels roles and puts his thumb on the firing trigger. 2 meters.. Templar fires 10 shots wide, very wide, in all directions. he then breaks off and tugs on the control stick as hard as he can. the rebel pilot does the same thing, but instead of firing lasers, he fires three proton torpedoes. the rebel pilot swerves to the left in order to avoid the shots at his right, but runs smack into the three shots that were aimed to his left. the first shot brings his shields down from his meager 3% down to 0%, and the other two shots hit him right in the cockpit, killing him instantly. The A-Wing explodes in a bright ball of flames. When Templar swerves he manages to avoid two of the three proton torpedoes, but the last one hits the very edge of his right solar panel. Disintegrating it. Templar spins out of control, and barely manages to avoid crashing into a chunk of durasteel. Templar comes to a stop, and takes a deep breath. A couple of deep breaths.*

Pilot: "Sir! are you ok? you were in the middle of talking and then we heard a loud whine, then your comm. went dead."

Templar; I'm (gasp) ok. I was ambushed by that "hiding" fighter, but I was able to destroy him,i'm heading back now."

"Roger that sir, we are waiting for you, we drove those ships back, but the battle out here is not going well. The Executor has been destroyed, and the Death Star's shields are gone. You better get back here quick. I don't know how long we can- AHHHH!!!"

Templar: "Gene, Gene? GENE!!!... he's...gone... ah hell! OK, people try to stay alive for god's sake! I'll be there soon.

*With that, Templar flies out of the metal field, and accelerates as fast as he can toward his dwindling squadron...

Part 4



*Templar's view screen goes black once more, and by the time it clears up he is back at the main battle field.*

"ok guys, I'm back. Report."

Pilot:" Sir, we've lost Gene, so that brings us down to five, including you. The rebels have destroyed most of our single man fighters, we are one of the last squadrons left!"

Templar: "Ok, the rebel's main goal is to destroy the death Star I'm sure, so i think we should probably--"

*At that moment, there is a burst of static, and a new voice exits templar's comm.*

"This is naval high command, please report on your current situation."

Templar: Hello high command, this is Omega Squadron leader Templar reporting in. We have lost five of our seven of our squadron members, and the rebels are destroying the rest of us. Even though we have more fighters..or did have more, there pilots have better dog fighting skills then are. I therefore suggest that we focus more on protecting the death Star itself, rather than go out to destroy their fighters and cruisers. We just don't have the resources anymore."

Command: "Negative captain, we have just recieed orders from the Admiral himself that you are to attack one of the rebels MC.Cruisers, it is a particular one. We have found out that the rebel's admiral is on board this cruiser, if you manage to destroy it, the rebels might surrender or retreat. they have had thier share of casualties to."

Templar:" Command, this plan is, in my opinion, folly. We do not have enough to fighters to destroy one of their lesser cruisers now, much less destroy their most important and probably most well protected one."

Command: you have your orders Captain, god speed.'

Templar: Damn! OK pilots, we are going to go on a suicide run. We will be attacking and destroying one of their particular Cruisers. I am sending you the coordinates now."

Pilot: "Sir! e do not have enough fighters to destroy that ship. We will certainly be destroyed."

Templar: I am aware of that. Sadly, I do not think that we shall leave this battle alive. But, I do believe that we shall be remembered that we will be remembered in history for this anyway. Pilots, begin your assault runs."

* Having said that, templar and the rest of his squadron accelerated toward their targeted Cruiser. As Templar surveyed his surroundings he realized that what was once an area filled with Star destroyers, now contained only a few. He also noted that to his sides were the remains of all the other tie squadrons, they to were heading toward the rebel cruiser."Command must be pretty desperate to destroy this ship" he thought to himself. As they got closer, ten ships flew our from behind th cruiser, all bearing the mark of Rouge Squadron, a legendary rebel squadron. As the Rouge Squadron came closer, they were followed by two more MC.Cruisers, a Medical Frigate, and one oddly shaped Z-95 head hunter. A Corellian Frigate. As it flew closer, Templar's computer registered it as The Millennium Falcon.*

" Prepare to engage pilots."

Pilot: "Yes sir, forwarding all power to our front shields."

Templar:"you may fire when ready pilots."

* As soon as Templar said that, the Rebel cruisers began firing their turbo lasers, destroying four Ties. The fighters on the other hand, pressed forward.*

"Sir! I think their cruisers are trying to provide a distraction for their fighters, perhaps to let them fly by."

Templar: "I think your right, but we have our orders, focus your main firepower on their main MC.Cruiser."

yes sir."

* The Ties continues to fire upon the rebel's MC.Cruisers, allowing the fighters to fly past them, as they did received another message from high command.*

" Templar! Those fighters are heading toward the Star Destroyers cooling shaft. they plan to destroy the Death Star's power core! you must not allow them to do so."

Templar: "Roger that I will bring a wingman with me, and we will try to stop the rebel's from destroying the power core. I will leave the other pilots here to keep the Cruisers from doing anymore damage."

Command:" Fine, good luck to you."

*templar and his wingman leave the battle field and head toward the Death Star's cooling shaft...*
