Part Six: The Battle of Yavin
Galin led Jaylee and Sebastian to a room off the hangar bay. Inside were couple of the Red Squadron pilots getting into their jumpsuites.
"We admitting babies now, sir?" a fat pilot, whom Sebastian recognized as Porkins jested. He knew that this man would die and tried his hardest not to give him a look of pity. All he needed the other pilots thinking was that he though that he was their superior or something. That wouldn't do.
"Cut it, Porkins," Galin ordered. "This here is Cor Wynt and Jaylee Deighton. They're flying with us against that thing. Boz, your flight mates."
A short, burly man with a ragged beard looked them over and chuckled to himself.
"See what I mean?" Porkins said. "Boz is our shortest guy and *he* thinks they're pathetic."
He looked them over with a look of pure humor.
"I can out fly you any day," Sebastian said in his own defense.
Porkings smirked. "I'd like to see that. Take you up on it after we're through with this."
Sebastian nodded. He knew that there were never be any contest between the two of them. Porkins would soon be dead. And so might he.

Outfitted and geared up, Jaylee and Sebastian walked into the hangar bay. Both of them were overcome with a sense of purpose. They were about to fly against the most destructive power in the universe. They were going face to face with evil and it was them or the Death Star. This was it.
"Guess you're Eight now," Jaylee said to Sebastian.
He shook his head. "I'll always be Seven. I'm just Red Eight right now. Copy that, Four?"
"Nine," his friend said with a grin.
The two of them clasped hands. "We're gonna make it out of this, you know," Jaylee told him. "We will."
Sebastian nodded. "By the Force."
"By the Force," Jaylee responded.
"ALL PILOTS TO YOUR SHIPS," the loudspeaker commanded.
The two friends tightened their grips on each other then released the other's hands.
"Good luck!" Sebastian called out to Jaylee as they got into their X-Wings.
He responded with a thumbs up.
Sebastian heard a thunk and felt a slight bump. He looked out the back of his cockpit to see Credit locked into the ship. "Doing okay back there, Cred?"
The droid gave a confident beep.
"Alright," he said. "You ready for this?"
Credit beeped again.
"Good," Sebastian told the droid. "'Cause this is going to be bad. We're gonna loose people and we gotta try our hardest to make sure it ain't us we loose. Good?"
Credit whistled an affirmative and then another slot of trills and beeps.
The droid had whistled too fast for Sebastian to follow it so he looked at his control panel. Credit's words spread across a small screen.
Let's go blow up a big ball.
Sebastian grinned. "Let's do it."

The pilots did their system checks quickly and were in the air in record time. The squadron of X-Wings followed close behind the Y-Wing squadron. Sebastian felt guilty knowing that their run was doomed. He felt guilty knowing the outcome of this entire mission. It was a success, yes, but at a terrible price.
"All wings report in," Galin ordered in Red Leader mode.
"Red Ten standing by."
"Red Nine standing by," Sebastian's wing mate Boz Genyo checked in.
"Red Seven standing by."
"Red Three standing by," Biggs Darklighter said.
Porkins reported in, "Red Six standing by."
"Red Eight standing by," Sebastian reported.
"Red Nine standing by."
"Red two standing by." That was Wedge.
"Red Eleven standing by."
Jaylee said, "Red Four standing by."
"Red Five standing by." That was Luke.
"Lock S-foils in attack position," Galin ordered.
The X-Wings moved into formation and they all locked their wings into an X position. Sebastian braced himself as ordered by Red Leader as the formation passed through the Death Star's magnetic field.
"Switch your deflectors on," Galin told everyone. "Double front!"
Sebastian looked in awe as the Death Star began to grow in size as they got closer. "Look at the size of that thing," he said, barely realizing it.
"Cut the chatter Red Eight," Red Leader said and Sebastian mentally kicked himself. That was Wedge's line!
The space station continued to grow and he felt vaguely like Ben Kenobi, remembering, "That's no moon. That's a space station."
"Accelerate to attack speed," Galin came back over the headset. "This is it boys!"
They watched as two of the Y-Wings began their attack run. He felt another pang of guilt as he knew that they weren't going to make it. The feeling was soon gone, though.
"Alright everyone! We're going to try and draw their fire. Two squads, along the axis!"
Sebastian followed Boz's X-Wing and saw Jaylee up ahead of him. Gun turrets followed them as they flew, the shots barely missing some of them.
The squad flew several rounds, taking out guns all over the place. Jaylee flew to Sebastian's right as they followed Boz aroud.
"Wynt!" Boz shouted. "Take out that gun over-"
There was a large explosion with a fireball result. Sebastian swerved to the left and Jaylee to the right. There was an onslaught of fire from the gun that had taken Boz.
Jaylee cried out over the come. "I lost Shadow!" he said about his droid. "My right engine is failing!"
"Get out here, Deighton," Galin ordered.
Sebastian recoiled when felt a feeling of imense gratitude and a sliver of hostility from the direction of his friends fighter craft.
"See you on the ground, Jaylee," he told his friend.
"Cut it Wynt and take out that gun!" Red Leader shouted.
He obeyed, swooping low and fast while shooting out blast after blast of laser fire. The gun was soon a crisp as well as a large portion of the surrounding area.
"Squad leaders, we've picked up another group of signals," the control officer came over the headset. "Enemy fighters coming your way."
"My scope's negative," Sebastian heard Luke Skywalker say. "I don't see anything."
"Keep up visual scanning," Galin ordered. "With all this interference, they'll be on top of you before your scope reads them."
Sebastian gazed around. "There they are!"
"I see them," Red Eleven, a man he had come to know as Kan Ballouka. "Cover me, Eight. I'm going in."
"Right on ya, Eleven," he answered and brough his X-Wing around to follow Kan.
The two X-Wings flew to meet an group of three TIE fighters. "We're a bit out numbered," Sebastian commented.
"Just shoot 'em," Kan responded.
"Copy that," Sebastian said with a grin.
The two of them came in shooting. Kan got one and Sebastian had to do a quick spiral to avoid rushing through the fireball. A loop brought him around behind a TIE fighter and he quickly let out a string of shots. The TIE before him erupted in fire and he pulled up to avoid flying through the rubble.
"Woohoo!" he shouted. His first kill.
Then he heard a crackle and then felt him ship shutter. Part of his S-Foil was on fire. "I'm loosing my right engines!" Sebastian said into his headsets.
Kan took out the offending TIE.
"Get out of here, kid," Galin said over the headset. "Go!"
"I'll cover y-" Kan began but was suddenly reduced to a ball of fire.
Credit whistled in alarm and Sebastian attempted to speed back to the Rebel base. But the TIE fighter was hot on his tail. Yavin 4 could be seen up above and he willed the X-Wing to make it.
The TIE fighter, however, had other ideas. He continued firing, ripping apart Sebastian's S-foils just as he came into Yavin 4's orbit. Sebastian's X-Wing plummeted through the atmosphere towards the planet.
"This is Red Eight!" he shouted into his headset. "Red Eight! I'm going down! I'm in planet atmosphere! I'm going down!"
"Hang on, Red Eight!" he got back. "Hang on! We're deploying help."
Sebastian struggled to pull up and skimmed the canopy for a momment. Then he broke through the trees and everything went black.
