Intergalactic Command Defence Training Station – In orbit of Hosnian Prime - 89 ABY
"Redstar 1 in position. Is Bluecomet 1 in position?"
"In position."
"All units standby." Redstar 1 replied.
In a V-formation, 6 slick and advanced tie-fighters flew by in an immediate speed into the dark space of the core region. Above them were 6 other tie-fighters painted in a bright red colour, flying in a Y-formation. Suddenly, two red tie-fighters started to pull away from their formation and started heading straight towards the V-formation made up of the black tie-fighters.
"Redstar 2 and 3 activate canons."
"Yes sir." Two young female voices spoke over the coms. Two of the black tie-fighters had released themselves from the formation, and swiftly, two heavy canons from each ship started firing the other team from bellow.
"Bluecomet 2 and 3 dispatch the drones."
"Yes sir." A young man replied.
"On it." Another young man exclaimed at the same time. In seconds, ten black small balls about the size of a regular human head flew from the bottom of two of the tie-fighters and started blasting red laser beams from a small hole glowing with a bright red colour. The two tie-fighters started flying behind the two tie-fighters at the front, creating a square formation. The balls started forming a circle around them, firing lasers at the red tie-fighters.
After a few minutes later, only two red tie fighters remained.
"Only two left." Bluecomet 1 responded, breaking the silence on the coms.
"I've already lost seven drones." The young man claiming to be Bluecomet 3 yelled.
"Status on Redstar 2 and 3." Redstar 1 called.
"I'm fine, but I'm pretty sure Redstar 2 has dropped out." The female voice belonging to Redstar 3 panicked.
"Damn." Redstar 1 mumbled, as he punched his fist on his lap. "Okay Plan B, no Plan C." he continued. The two red tie-fighters flying behind the five of them were blasting with insane precision, but the black tie-fighters were dodging and missing the shots with great precision.
"Is everyone ready?" Redstar 1 said in a tense tone. "Let's do this…" He waited.
"NOW!" and in an instant, Redstar 1 and 2 flew high up into the black void of space, while Bluecomet 1, 2 and 3 went down, towards the planet of Hosnian Prime. One tie-fighter had blasted above and the other dropped below. Both of the groups looped around, avoiding the multiple blasts being taken by the red tie-fighter behind them, and soon the groups were facing each other directly, in a single line.
"On my command…" Redstar 1 quietly exclaimed.
The groups were heading in the same direction, towards each other. The tense between the pilots became very unsteady, one wrong move, and the whole plan is stuffed.
"NOW!" He yelled.
The red tie-fighter smashed into each other, bursting in a huge explosion, causing the five other tie-fighter to cheer in happiness.
"Yes!" Bluecomet 1 cheered.
"Lets return to the docks everyone." Redstar 1 said.
"Hey what is…"
A bright light suddenly flashed in front Redstar 1's eyes, and suddenly the black glistening void of space became a white, blank light.

Bespin, Cloud City - 1 hour before
It was lunch break now for the students visiting the education centre. The sound of the gushing fountain blared in the distance as the sound of children screaming and playing started appearing. Aquila walked towards the fountain, alone.
Come on! Where is he? She thought worryingly.
"If he is giving me the silent treatment I swear…" She mumbled. She sat down on the fountain, grabbed out her lunch and started to aggressively eat it.
Please be okay…
Meanwhile, back in the Jedi section of the Museum…
Since the Museum had been closed to the public due to the arrival of the group of children, the museum was conveniently empty. Rowan, who was hiding behind the life-sized statue of the legendary Jedi, Obi-wan Kenobi, crawled out, making his way to the lined out pathway. He looked around. No one.
Thank goodness. He though, sighing with a relief. He turned his head towards that space on the wall, and ran in the direction of where it was. What was so special about this? He touched the wall with his small, bony hand. Nothing special. He knocked on the wall.
"Is anyone there?" he whispered into the wall. Nothing happened.
Suddenly that same rushing feeling wrapped around Rowan like a snake wrapping around its prey. It started to feel comfortable and warm, but the closer he could get to wherever this feeling was taking him to, the better his easiness became. Rowan suddenly raised his other hand on the wall and started to push against it. This overwhelming power was suddenly getting to the better of him, that he suddenly became no longer in control of his actions. The colour in his eyes started to change. His muddy brown eyes were morphing into a glowing icy blue. Rowan pushed harder against the wall using as much of his strength as he can until the sound of stone grinding with stone had started to ring through his ears. Rowan took his hand off the wall as a magical entrance was appearing before him.
With his eyes still glowing blue, and his conscience being under control of this strange power, he slowly walks through the empty dark passage into the unknown.
