Nick looked at his newly purchased Nssis-Class Clawcraft. He wasn’t sure why he bought it, because he had no experience with piloting. Nick had gotten chances to fly his merchant vessel with his father when he was younger, but he required a lot of assistance.
Nick had planned to get piloting lessons. Now that the time for him to arrange for those lessons had come, he wasn’t so sure what to do.

He thought of the members back in the Imperial Navy. He was a stormtrooper, but he had a friend from the navy who might be willing to help. He activated his comlink and tried to get contact with his friend, known by most people as ‘’Stormz’’.  Clearly, that was just a callsign.

‘’Stormz here.’’ A familiar voice spoke through the com.
‘’Hey, its Nick. It seems im having a flight problem.. Care to help?’’

Stormz laughed as I told her the problem.

‘’No problem. Ill be their soon.’’

‘’Ill send you the coordinates to my location.’’

The signal closed and Nick Stood next to the fighter. It was newly manafactured, judging by its appearance. After sending the coordinates to Stormz’ ship, he sat down on the ground, waiting. He hoped the wait wouldn’t be too long, though. He had places to be, and things to do. However, he was willing to have as much patience as needed.

He looked up into the sky and saw a familiar ship approach his location. It wasn’t necessarily big. Nick wasn’t sure if it belonged to the navy or Stormz. The craft touched down slowly  on the ground near Nicks area. What an entrance..

Sounds emitted from both ships. The Clawcraft and whatever ship Stormz was piloting had began to start up. The systems came online and beeps were heard. Nick had not heard these sounds in quite a while. A transmission then came out from the front of the ship. It was Stormz, preparing to guide Nick through this experience.

‘’Nick, I want you to start ascending the ship. To ascend, press the buttons to the side, and pull onto the lever. Then when you are high enough, grab onto the handle. You should remember what to do from their.’’

‘’Yeah, I do.’’

Nick remembered, alright. From their, his ship would go poof into the sky. Soaring across the planet. He looked and saw  Stormz ship close by him. It was pointing in the same direction so Nick knew they probably wouldn’t be too far from each other. At least, that is what he had hoped.

The clawcraft soon ascended into the sky. Stormz followed him, guiding Nick as they ascended. Both ships reached a certain height in the sky. Nick could see the terrain and landscape down below. It was a sight Nick had so many memories of. A sign of relief and calmness filled Nicks body.

‘’Ah. This is great.. I haven’t felt this good in a long time.’’

The ships maintained their height in the sky. Nick then heard Stormz voice over the Com.

‘’Lets have a little challenge..’’ Stormz said. Nick could understand Shriiwook, but he couldn’t tell when a wookiee was laughing. But something told him their was evil laughter in Stormz tone.

In a flash. Stormz jetted into the horizon, leaving the Clawcraft high and dry. Nick accelerated the ship in order to catch up to him.

Nick hoped that Stormz would be there still to lend him a hand. He was wrong. Stormz quickly  flew out of the ships sight, leaving Nick to handle them.

‘’This just got a whole lot harder.’’ Nick said.

The smartest thing to do would be to turn the other way, but Nick felt the urge to stand and fight. They would probably keep chasing him until his ship was destroyed. Nick aimed the weapons of the Clawcraft. Nick pressed the button, aiming at one of the ships.
The ship exploded, surprisingly.

‘’That was easier than I thought.’’ Nick said, impressed with his shooting. 

Then, Blasts fired past Nicks ship. He had almost forgotten about the other one.
Nicks heart started to beat faster. As he tried to remain calm, he flew the ship into an Alley-oop maneuver. Before he knew it, he was behind the other ship, which had managed to sneak behind him previously.

‘’Great..’’ Nick said.

‘’Indeed. Good job. I just wanted to see how you were doing.’’ Stormz said through the comnet.

Stormz was not too far from Nick all along. He had kept himself hidden from both Nick and the attackers.

‘’Now, the more important question. Who were those guys?’’ Stormz Asked.

‘’Probably some off the mercenaries I encountered before.’’

A while back, Nick and one of his friend was captured by a group of mercenaries, smugglers and slave traders. They seemed to be recruiting imperial members into their network, an offer they both refused.

‘’Well, lets see if we can attract more of them’’ Stormz suggested.

They began to fly around, hoping more would come to attack them.
