Author's Note: Sorry about the last story. I tried adding HTML to it but my computer screwed it up. So I'll just have to improvise. For this chapter, I kind of combined the battles of Endor and Yavin, so expect this chapter to be filled with action. On with the story...
STAR WARS The Jedi Elite Episode II Victory
After escaping BESPIN, MATT ISHIDA and his friends returned to CORUSCANT. Matt there was fitted with a new hand, but it is robotic. After learning the truth about his real family, he thrives harder to defeat the new GALACTIC EMPIRE.
He has now formed the JEDI ELITE, a group of former DIGI-DESTINED now JEDI KNIGHTS. TAI KAMIYA has been unfrozen from the carbonite and is okay. eanwhile, the Empire completed their construction on the DEATH STAR III and the DARKSABER.
Trimphant at the battles of EARTH and Bespin, they hope to strike at the heart of the NEW REPUBLIC next. The Republic, learning of this plan, hope to change the Empire's minds by destroying their ultimate super weapons they have created...
The heroes of the Rebellion and the Jedi Elite are seated in a meeting room along with the leaders of the New Republic.
"Well, my friends, it seems the Empire wants to attack us directly now," Mon Mothma said. "They have completed building two superweapons, a new Death Star and a Darksaber."
"That doesn't surprise me," Han said. "Eventually they would have built stuff like that."
"What is this Darksaber?" Luke asked.
"The Darksaber is very similar to the Death Star, but is rumored to have cut captial ships and planets in half, just as a Jedi lightsaber would slice a piece of metal in two," Mothma replied. "We tried obtaining a hologram of what it looks like, but we were unable to. Instead we suspect it may have a design similar to a lightsaber."
"Only bigger," Matt added.
"Indeed," Mon Mothma continued. "We also have rumors that the Emperor, the Digimon Emperor and Darth Vader are with the fleet, but it is very unlikely they would be on board the ships, as leaders of the Empire and the Imperial Remnant have been known to stay away from offensive battles by us, endangering their lives if they stayed around. It is also possibly most likely that most of the Imperial fleet would not be with these superweapons."
"And you are saying we should-?" Kail Jahoam asked, awaiting a answer.
"I am saying that we should destroy the superweapons. This way, it will most likely convince the Empire to hold a direct attack until another time. We will bring our fleet in, along with our fighters. The superweapons were created near Hoth, so we should go there. We will leave as soon as possible." Shortly afterward, the meeting ended.
Later on, the fleet entered hyperspace and arrived at Hoth shortly afterward. Sure enough, there were the superweapons, guarded by a few Star Destroyers and a Super Star Destroyer(Author's Note: The SSD is not the same one as the Phantom.). Hundreds of X-Wings, Y-Wings, A-Wings, B-Wings, V-Wings and E-Wings left the hangars of the Republic ships. Some squadrons attacked the Star Destroyers, some attack the Darksaber and the rest attack the Death Star. Rogue Squadron started the report in count.
"All wings report in," Wedge Antilles, the squadron leader said.
"Rogue Ten standing by."
"Rogue Seven standing by," Sora Takenouchi said.
"Rogue Three standing by," Hobbie said.
"Rogue Six standing by," Tai Kamiya reported.
"Rogue Nine standing by," Corran Horn said.
"Rogue Two standing by," Wes Janson said.
"Rogue Five standing by," Matt said.
"Rogue Eleven standing by."
"Rogue Four standing by," Tycho Celchu said.
"Lock S-foils in attack position," Wedge said. The group of fighters moved in formation toward the Death Star III, unfolding the wings and locking them in the "X" position.
"We're passing through their magnetic field," Wedge said. "Hold tight!" Matt adjusted his controls as he concentrated on the approaching Death Star. The ship begins to be buffeted slightly.
"Switch your deflectors on," Wedge reported. "Double front!" The fighters, now looking like X-shaped darts, moved in formation. The Death Star now appears to be a small moon growing rapidly in size as the Republic fighters approached. Complex patterns on the metallic surface began to become visible. A large dish antenna is into the surface on one side. Wes is amazed and slightly frightened at the awesome spectacle.
"Look at the size of that thing!" he said.
"Cut the chatter, Rogue Two," Wedge said. "Accelerate to attack speed. This is it, boys!" As the fighters moved closer to the Death Star, the awesome size of the gargantuan Imperial fortress is revealed. Half of the deadly space station is in shadow and this area sparkles with thousands of small lights running in thin lines and occasionally grouped in large clusters; somewhat like a city night as seen from a weather satellite.
"Rogue Leader, this is Red Leader," Red Leader reported.
"I copy, Red Leader," Wedge replied.
"We're starting for the target shaft now." Wedge looked around at his wingmen; the Death Star looming in from behind. Two fighters bob back and forth in the background. He moved his computer targeting device into position.
"We're in position," he said. "I'm going to cut across the axis and try and draw their fire." Two squads of Republic fighters peel off. They dive towards the Death Star's surface. A thousand lights glowed across the dark grey expanse of the huge station. Laser bolts streak through the star- filled night. The Republic fighters move in toward the Imperial base, as the Death Star aims its massive laser guns at the Republic forces and fires.
"Heavy fire, boss!" Wes said. "Twenty-degrees."
"I see it," Wedge responded. "Stay low." An fighter zoomed across the surface of the Death Star. Wes maneuvered his fighter toward the menacing Death Star. Fighters continued in their attack course on the Death Star. Matt nose dived radically, starting his attack on the monstrous fortress. The Death Star surface streaks past the cockpit window.
"This is Rogue Five," Matt said. "I'm going in!" Matt's X-Wing raced toward the Death Star. Laser bolts streaked from Matt's weapons, creating a huge fireball explosion on the dim surface. Terror crossed Matt's face as he realizes he won't be able to pull out in time to avoid the fireball.
"Matt, pull up!" Hobbie said. Matt's ship emerged from the fireball with the leading edges of his wings slightly scorched.
"Are you all right?" Hobbie asked. Matt adjusted his controls and breathed a sign of relief. Flak bursts outside the cockpit window.
"I got a little cooked, but I'm okay," Matt reported. Republic fighters continued to strafe the Death Star's surface with laser bolts. Wedge flew through a heavy hail of flak.
"Matt, let me know when you're going in," he said. Wedge's X-Wing flew past Matt as he put his nose down and started his attack dive.
"I'm on my way in now," Matt said.
"Watch yourself!" Wedge responded. "There's a lot of fire coming from the right side of the deflection tower."
"I'm on it," Matt replied. Matt flung his X-Wing into a twisting dive across the horizon and down onto the dim grey surface. A shot hurled from Matt's guns. Laser bolts streaked toward the onrushing Death Star surface. Several small radar emplacements erupted in flame. Laser fire erupted from a protruding tower on the surface. The blurry Death Star surface raced past the cockpit window as a big smile sweeped across Matt's face as the success of his run.
Flak thundered on all sides of him. The Death Star super structure raced past Matt as he maneuvered his craft through a wall of laser fire and peeled away from the surface towards the heavens. Hobbie dived through a forest of radar domes, antennas, and gun towers as he shot low across the Death Star surface. A dense barrage of laser fire streaked by on all sides. A Republic officer spoke through the fighters comm systems.
"Squad leaders, we've picked up a new group of signals," he said. "Enemy fighters coming your way." Matt looked around to see if he could spot the approaching Imperial fighters.
"My scope's negative," he said. "I don't see anything." The Death Star's surface sweeps past as Wedge searches the sky for the Imperial fighters. Flak pounds at his ship.
"Keep up your visual scanning," he said. "With all this jamming, they'll be on top of you before your scope can pick them up." Silhouetted against the dim lights of the Death Star horizon, TIE fighters dived in on the Republic fighters. Some of the TIEs peeled out and dropped out of formation. Hobbie panicked when he discovered a TIE on his tail. The horizon in the background twisted around as he peeled out, hoping to lose the Imperial fighter.
"Hobbie!" Wedge said. "You've picked one up, watch it!"
"I can't see it!" Hobbie said. "Where is he?!" Hobbie zoomed off the surface and into space, closely followed by an Imperial TIE fighter. The TIE fired several laser bolts at Hobbie, but missed. Hobbie saw the TIE fighter behind him and swung around, trying to avoid him.
"He's on me tight," he said. "I can't shake him!"Hobbie flew at high altitude, peeled out and dived toward the Death Star surface, but he is unable to lose the TIE fighter, who stuck close to his tail. Matt flew upside down. He rotated his ship around to normal altitude as he came out of his dive.
"Hang on, Hobbie, I'm coming in," he said. Hobbie and the tailing TIE dived for the surface, now followed by a fast gaining Matt. After Hobbie dove out of sight, Matt chased the Imperial fighter. In the foreground, the Imperial fighter raced across the Death Star's surface, closely followed by Matt in the background. Matt's X-Wing fired at the TIE, destroying it in a mass ball of flames.
"Got him!" Matt said.
"Pull out!" Hobbie said. "Matt, pull out!"
"Watch your back, Matt!" Wes said. "Watch your back! Fighter's above you, coming in!" Matt's ship soared away from the Death Star's surface as he spotted the tailing TIE fighter. The TIE takes aim at Matt's X-Wing and scored a hit on Matt's ship. Fire breaks out on the right of the X-Wing. Matt looked out of his cockpit at the flames on his ship.
"I'm hit, but not bad," he said. Smoke poured out from behind Matt's R2 unit.
"Gunner(Author's Note: That's what Matt nicknamed his R2 unit), see what you can do with it," Matt said. "Hang on back there." Green laser fire moved past the beeping little robot as his head turned. Matt nervously worked his controls.
"Rogue Six," Wedge said. "Can you see Rogue Five?"
"There's a heavy fire zone on this side," Rogue Ten said. "Rogue Five, where are you?" Matt spotted the same TIE fight behind him and soared away from the Death Star surface.
"I can't shake him!" Matt said. Matt's ship soared closer to the surface of the Death Star, the Imperial TIE fighter closing in on him in hot pursuit. The Death Star whipped below Wes.
"I'm on him, Matt!" Wes said. "Hold on!" Wes dived across the horizon toward Matt and the TIE fighter. Wes moved his X-Wing in rapidly. Matt reacted frantically.
"Blast it, Wes, where are you?" Matt said. Matt watched Wes's X-Wing approach. Another X-Wing joined him, and both unleashed a volley of laser fire on the Imperial fighter and the TIE fighter exploded. Matt looked about in relief.
"Thanks, Wes," he said.
"Good shooting, Wes!" Hobbie added.
"Rogue Leader," Red Leader said. He peeled out and started toward the long trench at the Death Star III's surface pole. "This is Red Leader. We're starting our attack run." The three fighter of the Red group dove out of the stars toward the Death Star surface.
"I copy, Red Leader," Wedge responded. "Move into position."
* * *
Three Imperial TIE fighters, one of the containing the Digimon Emperor, dove toward the Death Star surface. The Digimon Emperor calmly adjusted his control stick as the stars whipped past in the window above his head.
"Stay in attack formation!" he said.
* * *
"The exhaust port is," Red Leader said, "marked and locked in!" Red Leader approached the surface and pulled out to skim the surface of the huge station. The ship moved into a deep trench, firing lasers. The surface streaked past as laser fire is returned by the Death Star III's defenses. Red Five was a pilot in his early fifties with a very battered helmet that looked like it was through many battles. He looked around to see if enemy ships were near. His fighter is buffeted by flak. Red Leader raced down the enomous trench that led to the exhaust port.
Laser bolts blasted toward him in increasing numbers, occasionally exploding near the ship causing it to bounce about.
"Switch power to front deflector screens," Red Leader said. The three fighters skimmed the Death Star surface deep in the trench, as laser bolts streaked past on all sides.
"How many guns do you think, Red Five?" Red Leader asked.
"I'd say about twenty guns," Red Five replied. "Som on the surface, some on the towers." The three fighters zoomed through a hail of laser fire. Red Leader pulled his targeting computer down in front of his eye. Laser bolts continued to batter the Republic craft.
"Switching to targeting computer," he said. Red Two, a younger pilot about Luke Skywalker's age, pulled down his targeting computer and adjusted it. His ship shuddered under intense laser barrage.
"Computer's locked," he said. "Getting a signal." As the fighters began to approace the target area, suddenly all the laser fire stops. An eerie calm clinged over the trench as the surface whipped past in a blur.
"The guns," Red Two said. "They've stopped!" Red Five looked behind him.
"Stabilize your rear deflectors," he said. "Watch for enemy fighters."
"They're coming in!" Red Leader said. "Three marks at two ten."
* * *
The Imperial TIE fighters, with the Digimon Emperor in the center flanked by two wingmen, dived in precise formation almost vertically toward the Death Star surface. The Digimon Emperor calmly adjusted his control stick as the stars zoomed by.
"I'll take them myself!" he said. "Cover me!"
"Yes sir," one of his pilots said. The three TIE fighters zoomed across the surface of the Death Star. The Digimon Emperor lined up Red Two in his targeting computer. The Emperor's hands gripped the control stick as he fired. Red Two's ship exploded, flinging debris out into space.
* * *
Red Leader looked over his shoulder at the scene. The three TIEs raced along in the trench in a tight formation. Red Leader panicked.
"I can't maneuver!" he said. Red Five, the old veteran, tries to calm Red Leader.
"Stay on target," Red Five said. The Death Star raced by outside the cockpit window as Red Leader adjusted his targeting device.
"We're too close!" he said. The older pilot remained calm.
"Stay on target!" Red Five said once again. Now Red Leader is really panicked.
"Loosen up!" he said. The center TIE fired on Red Five and the fighter exploded in a ball of flame, throwing debris in all directions. Red Five moved in on the exhaust port.
"Red Five to Rogue Leader," he said. Matt looked over his shoulder at the action outside of his cockpit.
"Lost Two and Red Leader," Red Five said.
"I copy, Red Five," Wedge said.
"They came from behind-!" One of the engines exploded on Red Five's fighter, blazing out of control. He dived past the horizon toward the Death Star's surface, passing a TIE fighter during his descent. Red Five, a veteran of countless campaigns, spun toward his death. Matt looked nervously about Red Five at the explosive battle, knowing the same could happen to himself if he wasn't careful. Rogue Leader looked over at his wingmen.
"Rogue Group, this is Rogue Leader," Wedge said. "Rendezvous at mark six point one."
"This is Rogue Two," Wes said. "Flying toward you."
"Rogue Three, standing by," Hobbie reported.
"Matt, take Rogues Six and Nine," Wedge said. "Hold up here and wait for my signal to start your run. Matt nodded. The fighters of Matt, Tai and Corran Horn flew in formation high above the Death Star's surface. Matt peered out from his cockpit. The rest of the fighters moved across the surface of the Death Star. Wedge's X-Wing dropped down to the trence leading to the exhaust port. Wedge looked around to watch for TIE fighters.
"This is it!" he said. Wedge roamed down the trench of the Death Star as laser streaked across the black heavens. The Republic fighters evaded the Imperial laser fire. Rogue Ten looked around for the Imperial fighters.
"We should be able to see them by now," he said. From the cockpits of the Republic pilots, the surface of the Death Star streaked by, with Imperial laser fire shooting toward them.
"Keep your eyes open for those fighters!" Wedge said.
"There's too much interference!" Rogue Ten said. The fighters moved in formation down the Death Star trench.
"Rogue Five, can you see them from where you are?" Rogue Ten asked. Matt looked down at the Death Star surface below.
"No sign of any- wait!" he said. Rogue Ten looked up and saw the Imperial fighters.
"Coming in point three five," Matt said.
"I see them," Ten responded. The three TIE fighters, with the Digimon Emperor flanked by two wingmen, dived in a tight formation. The sun reflected off their dominate solar fins as they looped toward the Death Star's surface. Wedge pulled his targeting computer down in front of his eyes and made several adjustments.
"I'm in range," he said. Wedge's X-Wing moved up the Death Star trench.
"Target's coming up!" he said. He looked at his targeting computer.
"Just hold them off for a few seconds," he said.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor adjusted his control level and dove on the fighters.
"Close up formation," he said. The three TIE fighters moved into formation across the Death Star surface.
* * *
Wedge lined up his target on the targeting device cross hairs.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor and his wingmen zoomed down the trench. The Emperor rapidly approached the two fighters of Rogue Eleven and Rogue Twelve. The Digimon Emperor's laser cannon flashed below the view of the front port hole. The fighters showed in the center of the Emperor's computer screen. Rogue Twelve's fighter is hit by the Digimon Emperor's laser fire, and it exploded into flames against the trench.
* * *
Rogue Eleven worked at his controls furiously, trying to avoid the Digimon Emperor's fighter behind him.
"You'd better let her loose," he said. Wedge was concentrating on his targeting computer.
"Almost there!" he said. Rogue Eleven panicked.
"I can't hold them!" he said. The TIEs whipped through the trench in pursuit of the Republic fighters. The center TIE's well aimed laser fire proves to be unavoidable, and strike Rogue Eleven's ship. Rogue Eleven screamed in anguish and pain. His ship exploded and burst into flames. Grimly, Wedge took careful aim and watched his targeting computer, which showed the target lined up in the cross hairs, and fired.
"It's away!" he said.
"It's a hit!" Corran said.
"Negative," Wedge said. He looked back at the receding Death Star. Tiny explosions were visible in the distance.
"Negative!" he said once again. "It didn't go in. It just impacted on the surface.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor peeled out in pursuit as Rogue Ten's X-Wing passed the Death Star horizon. He swung his ship around for the next kill.
* * *
"Rogue Ten, we're right above you," Matt said. "Turn to point-" Matt tried to spot Rogue Ten. He looked down at the Death Star surface. "-oh-five, we'll cover for you."
"Stay there," Rogue Ten said. A wary Rogue Ten looked about nervously.
"I just lost my starboard engine." Matt looked desperately toward Rogue Ten's fighter.
"Get ready to make your attack run," Ten said. Rogue Ten fought to gain control of his ship. Laser bolts are flung from the Digimon Emperor's TIE fighter, connection with Rogue Ten's Republic fighter. Ten buys it, creating a tremendous explosion far below. He screams and is destroyed. Matt looked out the window of his X-Wing at the explosion far below. For the first time, he felt the helplessness of his situation.
"Tai, Corran, let's close it up," Matt said. "We're going in. We're going in full throttle, that ought to hold them off." The horizon twisted as Tai began to pull out.
"Right with you, Matt," he said. The three fighters peel off against a background of stars and dived toward the Death Star III.
"Matt, at that speed will you be able to pull out in time?" Corran asked.
"It'll be just like Beggar's Canyon on Tatooine," Matt replied. The three fighters moved in, unleashing a barrage of laser fire. Laser bolts are returned from the Death Star. Corran works with his controls.
"We'll stay back far enough to cover you," he said. Flak and laser bolts flashed outside Matt's cockpit window.
"My scope shows the tower, but I can't see the exhaust port!" Tai said. "Are you sure the computer can hit it?" Matt looked around for Imperial TIE fighters. He thought for a moment and then moved his targeting computer into position.
"Watch yourself!" he said. "Increase speed full throttle!" Tai looked excitedly about for any sign of TIE fighters.
"What about the tower?" Tai asked.
"You worry about those fighters!" Matt responded. "I'll worry about the tower!" Matt's X-Wing streaked through the trench, firing lasers. Matt broke into a nervous sweat, as laser fire is returned, knicking one of his wings close the engine.
"Gunner, that-that stabilizer's broken loose again!" he said. "See if you can lock it down!" Gunner worked to repaired the damages. The canyon wall rushed by in the background, making his delicate task seen ever more precarious. Tai looked up and saw the TIE fighters. Matt's targeting device marked off the distance to the target. The three TIEs zoomed closer. The center TIE fired laser bolts at the two fighters flying down the trench.
He scored a direct hit on Tai.
"I'm hit!" Tai said. "I can't stay with you."
"Get clear, Tai," Matt replied. "You can't do any more good back there!"
"Sorry!" Tai pulled his crippled X-Wing back away from the battle.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor watched the escape but issued a command to his wingmen.
"Let him go!" he said. "Stay on the leader!"
* * *
Matt's X-Wing sped down the trench; the three TIE fighters, still in perfect unbroken formation, closed behind the two remaining fighters. Tai looked around at the TIE fighters. He was worried.
"Hurry, Matt, they're coming in much fast this time," he said. "I can't hold them!" The three TIEs moved ever closer, closing in on Matt and Tai. Matt looked back anxiously at Gunner.
"Gunner, try and increase the power!" Ignoring the bumpy ride, flak and lasers, a beeping Gunner struggled to increase the power, his dome turning from side to side. Stealthily, the TIE formation creeped closer. Tai looked around at the TIE fighters. Matt looked into his targeting device. He moved it away for a moment and pondered its use. He looked back into the targeting computer.
"Hurry up, Matt!" Tai said. The Digimon Emperor and his wingmen raced through the Death Star trench. Tai moved in to cover for Matt, but the Emperor gained on him. Tai saw the center TIE fighter aiming at him.
"Wait!" Tai said. The center TIE fired. Amazingly though, Tai managed to redirect the lasers using the Force. Instead the laser fire damaged one of Tai's laser cannons. Seeing what happened, Matt ordered Tai to stay back.
"Tai, I can't lose you," he said. "Go get some repairs, I'll be done here soon."
"Are you sure?" Tai asked. "You can't hold three TIEs at once."
"No, I can't," Matt replied. "But the Force can." Tai left Matt alone to his duties.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor took aim on Matt and talked to his wingmen.
"I'm on the leader," he said.
* * *
Matt's ship streaked through the trench of the Death Star. Matt concentrated on his targeting device. The three TIEs charged away down the trench toward Matt. Matt adjusted the lens of his targeting computer. Matt's ship charged down the trench. Matt lined up the red cross hair lines of the targeting device's screen. He looked into the targeting device, then something changed his mind.
The Death Star trench zoomed by. A grim determination sweeped across Matt's face as he closed his eyes. Matt's fighter streaked through the trench. The Digimon Emperor followed Matt's X-Wing down the trench. Matt's hand reached for the control and pressed a button. The targeting computer moved away. A officer spoke through Matt's comm system.
"Matt's, you switched off your targeting computer," he said. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Matt responded. "I'm all right." Matt's ship streaked ever closer to the exhaust port. Matt looked at the Death Star surface streaking by. The three TIE fighters, manned by the Digimon Emperor and his two wingmen, followed Matt's X-Wing down the trench. The center TIE fired on Matt's fighter and hit Gunner. The arms go limp on the smoking little droid as he maded a high-pitched sound.
Matt looked frantically back over his shoulder at Gunner. Smoke billowed out around Gunner and sparks began to fly.
"I've lost Gunner!" Matt said. The three TIEs zoomed down the Death Star trench in pursuit of Matt, never breaking formation. Matt looked anxiously at the exhaust port. Matt's ship barreled down the trench.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor's targeting computer swung around into position. The Emperor took careful aim on Matt's X-Wing fighter.
"I have you now," he said. He pushed the fire trigger.
* * *
The three TIE fighters moved in on Matt. The Digimon Emperor unleashed a volley of laser fire, but Matt suddenly put up his shields using the Force and the lasers collided into the shields, absorbing most of the impact. Matt used the Force once again and this time one of TIEs at the Emperor's side exploded into flame. The two remaining ships continued to move in.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor was taken by surprise and looked out from his cockpit.
"What?" he said. The Emperor's wingman searched around him trying to locate the unknown attacker but failed to find one.
* * *
Matt suddenly did something else, and one of the TIEs veered radically to one side, colliding with the Digimon Emperor's TIE fighter in the process. The Emperor's wingman crashed into the side wall of the trench and exploded. The Digimon Emperor's ship spun out of the trench with a damaged wing. His ship spun out of control with a bent solar fin, heading for deep space. Soon afterward it went into hyperspace. Matt concentrated back on the exhaust port, then fired his proton torpedoes.
Matt's torpedoes shot toward the port and seemed to simply disappear into the surface and not explode. But the shots do find their mark and have gone into the exhaust port and headed for the main reactor. Matt threw his head back in relief. The remaining fighters raced away from the Death Star III and headed toward the battle beyond. Several small flashes appeared on the surface of the Death Star. It burst into a supernova, creating a spectaular heavenly display.
"Great shot, Matt," Wedge said. "Now let's head for that Darksaber."
Author's Note: I had to cut this short because I was afraid fanfiction.net would not process this chapter because it would be so long. If I added the rest of the chapter it would not process. So for the next chapter I will continue the battle. It shouldn't be too long until it comes out.
Author's Note: Sorry about the last story. I tried adding HTML to it but my computer screwed it up. So I'll just have to improvise. For this chapter, I kind of combined the battles of Endor and Yavin, so expect this chapter to be filled with action. On with the story...

"That doesn't surprise me," Han said. "Eventually they would have built stuff like that."
"What is this Darksaber?" Luke asked.
"The Darksaber is very similar to the Death Star, but is rumored to have cut captial ships and planets in half, just as a Jedi lightsaber would slice a piece of metal in two," Mothma replied. "We tried obtaining a hologram of what it looks like, but we were unable to. Instead we suspect it may have a design similar to a lightsaber."
"Only bigger," Matt added.
"Indeed," Mon Mothma continued. "We also have rumors that the Emperor, the Digimon Emperor and Darth Vader are with the fleet, but it is very unlikely they would be on board the ships, as leaders of the Empire and the Imperial Remnant have been known to stay away from offensive battles by us, endangering their lives if they stayed around.

"And you are saying we should-?" Kail Jahoam asked, awaiting a answer.
"I am saying that we should destroy the superweapons. This way, it will most likely convince the Empire to hold a direct attack until another time. We will bring our fleet in, along with our fighters. The superweapons were created near Hoth, so we should go there. We will leave as soon as possible." Shortly afterward, the meeting ended.
Later on, the fleet entered hyperspace and arrived at Hoth shortly afterward. Sure enough, there were the superweapons, guarded by a few Star Destroyers and a Super Star Destroyer(Author's Note: The SSD is not the same one as the Phantom.). Hundreds of X-Wings, Y-Wings, A-Wings, B-Wings, V-Wings and E-Wings left the hangars of the Republic ships. Some squadrons attacked the Star Destroyers, some attack the Darksaber and the rest attack the Death Star. Rogue Squadron started the report in count.
"All wings report in," Wedge Antilles, the squadron leader said.
"Rogue Ten standing by."
"Rogue Seven standing by," Sora Takenouchi said.
"Rogue Three standing by," Hobbie said.
"Rogue Six standing by," Tai Kamiya reported.
"Rogue Nine standing by," Corran Horn said.
"Rogue Two standing by," Wes Janson said.
"Rogue Five standing by," Matt said.
"Rogue Eleven standing by."
"Rogue Four standing by," Tycho Celchu said.
"Lock S-foils in attack position," Wedge said. The group of fighters moved in formation toward the Death Star III, unfolding the wings and locking them in the "X" position.
"We're passing through their magnetic field," Wedge said. "Hold tight!" Matt adjusted his controls as he concentrated on the approaching Death Star. The ship begins to be buffeted slightly.
"Switch your deflectors on," Wedge reported. "Double front!" The fighters, now looking like X-shaped darts, moved in formation. The Death Star now appears to be a small moon growing rapidly in size as the Republic fighters approached. Complex patterns on the metallic surface began to become visible. A large dish antenna is into the surface on one side. Wes is amazed and slightly frightened at the awesome spectacle.
"Look at the size of that thing!" he said.
"Cut the chatter, Rogue Two," Wedge said. "Accelerate to attack speed. This is it, boys!" As the fighters moved closer to the Death Star, the awesome size of the gargantuan Imperial fortress is revealed. Half of the deadly space station is in shadow and this area sparkles with thousands of small lights running in thin lines and occasionally grouped in large clusters; somewhat like a city night as seen from a weather satellite.
"Rogue Leader, this is Red Leader," Red Leader reported.
"I copy, Red Leader," Wedge replied.
"We're starting for the target shaft now." Wedge looked around at his wingmen; the Death Star looming in from behind. Two fighters bob back and forth in the background. He moved his computer targeting device into position.
"We're in position," he said. "I'm going to cut across the axis and try and draw their fire." Two squads of Republic fighters peel off. They dive towards the Death Star's surface. A thousand lights glowed across the dark grey expanse of the huge station. Laser bolts streak through the star- filled night. The Republic fighters move in toward the Imperial base, as the Death Star aims its massive laser guns at the Republic forces and fires.
"Heavy fire, boss!" Wes said. "Twenty-degrees."
"I see it," Wedge responded. "Stay low." An fighter zoomed across the surface of the Death Star. Wes maneuvered his fighter toward the menacing Death Star. Fighters continued in their attack course on the Death Star. Matt nose dived radically, starting his attack on the monstrous fortress. The Death Star surface streaks past the cockpit window.
"This is Rogue Five," Matt said. "I'm going in!" Matt's X-Wing raced toward the Death Star. Laser bolts streaked from Matt's weapons, creating a huge fireball explosion on the dim surface. Terror crossed Matt's face as he realizes he won't be able to pull out in time to avoid the fireball.
"Matt, pull up!" Hobbie said. Matt's ship emerged from the fireball with the leading edges of his wings slightly scorched.
"Are you all right?" Hobbie asked. Matt adjusted his controls and breathed a sign of relief. Flak bursts outside the cockpit window.
"I got a little cooked, but I'm okay," Matt reported. Republic fighters continued to strafe the Death Star's surface with laser bolts. Wedge flew through a heavy hail of flak.
"Matt, let me know when you're going in," he said. Wedge's X-Wing flew past Matt as he put his nose down and started his attack dive.
"I'm on my way in now," Matt said.
"Watch yourself!" Wedge responded. "There's a lot of fire coming from the right side of the deflection tower."
"I'm on it," Matt replied. Matt flung his X-Wing into a twisting dive across the horizon and down onto the dim grey surface. A shot hurled from Matt's guns. Laser bolts streaked toward the onrushing Death Star surface. Several small radar emplacements erupted in flame. Laser fire erupted from a protruding tower on the surface. The blurry Death Star surface raced past the cockpit window as a big smile sweeped across Matt's face as the success of his run.
Flak thundered on all sides of him. The Death Star super structure raced past Matt as he maneuvered his craft through a wall of laser fire and peeled away from the surface towards the heavens. Hobbie dived through a forest of radar domes, antennas, and gun towers as he shot low across the Death Star surface. A dense barrage of laser fire streaked by on all sides. A Republic officer spoke through the fighters comm systems.
"Squad leaders, we've picked up a new group of signals," he said. "Enemy fighters coming your way." Matt looked around to see if he could spot the approaching Imperial fighters.
"My scope's negative," he said. "I don't see anything." The Death Star's surface sweeps past as Wedge searches the sky for the Imperial fighters. Flak pounds at his ship.
"Keep up your visual scanning," he said. "With all this jamming, they'll be on top of you before your scope can pick them up." Silhouetted against the dim lights of the Death Star horizon, TIE fighters dived in on the Republic fighters. Some of the TIEs peeled out and dropped out of formation. Hobbie panicked when he discovered a TIE on his tail. The horizon in the background twisted around as he peeled out, hoping to lose the Imperial fighter.
"Hobbie!" Wedge said. "You've picked one up, watch it!"
"I can't see it!" Hobbie said. "Where is he?!" Hobbie zoomed off the surface and into space, closely followed by an Imperial TIE fighter. The TIE fired several laser bolts at Hobbie, but missed. Hobbie saw the TIE fighter behind him and swung around, trying to avoid him.
"He's on me tight," he said. "I can't shake him!"Hobbie flew at high altitude, peeled out and dived toward the Death Star surface, but he is unable to lose the TIE fighter, who stuck close to his tail. Matt flew upside down. He rotated his ship around to normal altitude as he came out of his dive.
"Hang on, Hobbie, I'm coming in," he said. Hobbie and the tailing TIE dived for the surface, now followed by a fast gaining Matt. After Hobbie dove out of sight, Matt chased the Imperial fighter. In the foreground, the Imperial fighter raced across the Death Star's surface, closely followed by Matt in the background. Matt's X-Wing fired at the TIE, destroying it in a mass ball of flames.
"Got him!" Matt said.
"Pull out!" Hobbie said. "Matt, pull out!"
"Watch your back, Matt!" Wes said. "Watch your back! Fighter's above you, coming in!" Matt's ship soared away from the Death Star's surface as he spotted the tailing TIE fighter. The TIE takes aim at Matt's X-Wing and scored a hit on Matt's ship. Fire breaks out on the right of the X-Wing. Matt looked out of his cockpit at the flames on his ship.
"I'm hit, but not bad," he said. Smoke poured out from behind Matt's R2 unit.
"Gunner(Author's Note: That's what Matt nicknamed his R2 unit), see what you can do with it," Matt said. "Hang on back there." Green laser fire moved past the beeping little robot as his head turned. Matt nervously worked his controls.
"Rogue Six," Wedge said. "Can you see Rogue Five?"
"There's a heavy fire zone on this side," Rogue Ten said. "Rogue Five, where are you?" Matt spotted the same TIE fight behind him and soared away from the Death Star surface.
"I can't shake him!" Matt said. Matt's ship soared closer to the surface of the Death Star, the Imperial TIE fighter closing in on him in hot pursuit. The Death Star whipped below Wes.
"I'm on him, Matt!" Wes said. "Hold on!" Wes dived across the horizon toward Matt and the TIE fighter. Wes moved his X-Wing in rapidly. Matt reacted frantically.
"Blast it, Wes, where are you?" Matt said. Matt watched Wes's X-Wing approach. Another X-Wing joined him, and both unleashed a volley of laser fire on the Imperial fighter and the TIE fighter exploded. Matt looked about in relief.
"Thanks, Wes," he said.
"Good shooting, Wes!" Hobbie added.
"Rogue Leader," Red Leader said. He peeled out and started toward the long trench at the Death Star III's surface pole. "This is Red Leader. We're starting our attack run." The three fighter of the Red group dove out of the stars toward the Death Star surface.
"I copy, Red Leader," Wedge responded. "Move into position."
* * *
Three Imperial TIE fighters, one of the containing the Digimon Emperor, dove toward the Death Star surface. The Digimon Emperor calmly adjusted his control stick as the stars whipped past in the window above his head.
"Stay in attack formation!" he said.
* * *
"The exhaust port is," Red Leader said, "marked and locked in!" Red Leader approached the surface and pulled out to skim the surface of the huge station. The ship moved into a deep trench, firing lasers. The surface streaked past as laser fire is returned by the Death Star III's defenses. Red Five was a pilot in his early fifties with a very battered helmet that looked like it was through many battles. He looked around to see if enemy ships were near. His fighter is buffeted by flak. Red Leader raced down the enomous trench that led to the exhaust port.
Laser bolts blasted toward him in increasing numbers, occasionally exploding near the ship causing it to bounce about.
"Switch power to front deflector screens," Red Leader said. The three fighters skimmed the Death Star surface deep in the trench, as laser bolts streaked past on all sides.
"How many guns do you think, Red Five?" Red Leader asked.
"I'd say about twenty guns," Red Five replied. "Som on the surface, some on the towers." The three fighters zoomed through a hail of laser fire. Red Leader pulled his targeting computer down in front of his eye. Laser bolts continued to batter the Republic craft.
"Switching to targeting computer," he said. Red Two, a younger pilot about Luke Skywalker's age, pulled down his targeting computer and adjusted it. His ship shuddered under intense laser barrage.
"Computer's locked," he said. "Getting a signal." As the fighters began to approace the target area, suddenly all the laser fire stops. An eerie calm clinged over the trench as the surface whipped past in a blur.
"The guns," Red Two said. "They've stopped!" Red Five looked behind him.
"Stabilize your rear deflectors," he said. "Watch for enemy fighters."
"They're coming in!" Red Leader said. "Three marks at two ten."
* * *
The Imperial TIE fighters, with the Digimon Emperor in the center flanked by two wingmen, dived in precise formation almost vertically toward the Death Star surface. The Digimon Emperor calmly adjusted his control stick as the stars zoomed by.
"I'll take them myself!" he said. "Cover me!"
"Yes sir," one of his pilots said. The three TIE fighters zoomed across the surface of the Death Star. The Digimon Emperor lined up Red Two in his targeting computer. The Emperor's hands gripped the control stick as he fired. Red Two's ship exploded, flinging debris out into space.
* * *
Red Leader looked over his shoulder at the scene. The three TIEs raced along in the trench in a tight formation. Red Leader panicked.
"I can't maneuver!" he said. Red Five, the old veteran, tries to calm Red Leader.
"Stay on target," Red Five said. The Death Star raced by outside the cockpit window as Red Leader adjusted his targeting device.
"We're too close!" he said. The older pilot remained calm.
"Stay on target!" Red Five said once again. Now Red Leader is really panicked.
"Loosen up!" he said. The center TIE fired on Red Five and the fighter exploded in a ball of flame, throwing debris in all directions. Red Five moved in on the exhaust port.
"Red Five to Rogue Leader," he said. Matt looked over his shoulder at the action outside of his cockpit.
"Lost Two and Red Leader," Red Five said.
"I copy, Red Five," Wedge said.
"They came from behind-!" One of the engines exploded on Red Five's fighter, blazing out of control. He dived past the horizon toward the Death Star's surface, passing a TIE fighter during his descent. Red Five, a veteran of countless campaigns, spun toward his death. Matt looked nervously about Red Five at the explosive battle, knowing the same could happen to himself if he wasn't careful. Rogue Leader looked over at his wingmen.
"Rogue Group, this is Rogue Leader," Wedge said. "Rendezvous at mark six point one."
"This is Rogue Two," Wes said. "Flying toward you."
"Rogue Three, standing by," Hobbie reported.
"Matt, take Rogues Six and Nine," Wedge said. "Hold up here and wait for my signal to start your run. Matt nodded. The fighters of Matt, Tai and Corran Horn flew in formation high above the Death Star's surface. Matt peered out from his cockpit. The rest of the fighters moved across the surface of the Death Star. Wedge's X-Wing dropped down to the trence leading to the exhaust port. Wedge looked around to watch for TIE fighters.
"This is it!" he said. Wedge roamed down the trench of the Death Star as laser streaked across the black heavens. The Republic fighters evaded the Imperial laser fire. Rogue Ten looked around for the Imperial fighters.
"We should be able to see them by now," he said. From the cockpits of the Republic pilots, the surface of the Death Star streaked by, with Imperial laser fire shooting toward them.
"Keep your eyes open for those fighters!" Wedge said.
"There's too much interference!" Rogue Ten said. The fighters moved in formation down the Death Star trench.
"Rogue Five, can you see them from where you are?" Rogue Ten asked. Matt looked down at the Death Star surface below.
"No sign of any- wait!" he said. Rogue Ten looked up and saw the Imperial fighters.
"Coming in point three five," Matt said.
"I see them," Ten responded. The three TIE fighters, with the Digimon Emperor flanked by two wingmen, dived in a tight formation. The sun reflected off their dominate solar fins as they looped toward the Death Star's surface. Wedge pulled his targeting computer down in front of his eyes and made several adjustments.
"I'm in range," he said. Wedge's X-Wing moved up the Death Star trench.
"Target's coming up!" he said. He looked at his targeting computer.
"Just hold them off for a few seconds," he said.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor adjusted his control level and dove on the fighters.
"Close up formation," he said. The three TIE fighters moved into formation across the Death Star surface.
* * *
Wedge lined up his target on the targeting device cross hairs.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor and his wingmen zoomed down the trench. The Emperor rapidly approached the two fighters of Rogue Eleven and Rogue Twelve. The Digimon Emperor's laser cannon flashed below the view of the front port hole. The fighters showed in the center of the Emperor's computer screen. Rogue Twelve's fighter is hit by the Digimon Emperor's laser fire, and it exploded into flames against the trench.
* * *
Rogue Eleven worked at his controls furiously, trying to avoid the Digimon Emperor's fighter behind him.
"You'd better let her loose," he said. Wedge was concentrating on his targeting computer.
"Almost there!" he said. Rogue Eleven panicked.
"I can't hold them!" he said. The TIEs whipped through the trench in pursuit of the Republic fighters. The center TIE's well aimed laser fire proves to be unavoidable, and strike Rogue Eleven's ship. Rogue Eleven screamed in anguish and pain. His ship exploded and burst into flames. Grimly, Wedge took careful aim and watched his targeting computer, which showed the target lined up in the cross hairs, and fired.
"It's away!" he said.
"It's a hit!" Corran said.
"Negative," Wedge said. He looked back at the receding Death Star. Tiny explosions were visible in the distance.
"Negative!" he said once again. "It didn't go in. It just impacted on the surface.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor peeled out in pursuit as Rogue Ten's X-Wing passed the Death Star horizon. He swung his ship around for the next kill.
* * *
"Rogue Ten, we're right above you," Matt said. "Turn to point-" Matt tried to spot Rogue Ten. He looked down at the Death Star surface. "-oh-five, we'll cover for you."
"Stay there," Rogue Ten said. A wary Rogue Ten looked about nervously.
"I just lost my starboard engine." Matt looked desperately toward Rogue Ten's fighter.
"Get ready to make your attack run," Ten said. Rogue Ten fought to gain control of his ship. Laser bolts are flung from the Digimon Emperor's TIE fighter, connection with Rogue Ten's Republic fighter. Ten buys it, creating a tremendous explosion far below. He screams and is destroyed. Matt looked out the window of his X-Wing at the explosion far below. For the first time, he felt the helplessness of his situation.
"Tai, Corran, let's close it up," Matt said. "We're going in. We're going in full throttle, that ought to hold them off." The horizon twisted as Tai began to pull out.
"Right with you, Matt," he said. The three fighters peel off against a background of stars and dived toward the Death Star III.
"Matt, at that speed will you be able to pull out in time?" Corran asked.
"It'll be just like Beggar's Canyon on Tatooine," Matt replied. The three fighters moved in, unleashing a barrage of laser fire. Laser bolts are returned from the Death Star. Corran works with his controls.
"We'll stay back far enough to cover you," he said. Flak and laser bolts flashed outside Matt's cockpit window.
"My scope shows the tower, but I can't see the exhaust port!" Tai said. "Are you sure the computer can hit it?" Matt looked around for Imperial TIE fighters. He thought for a moment and then moved his targeting computer into position.
"Watch yourself!" he said. "Increase speed full throttle!" Tai looked excitedly about for any sign of TIE fighters.
"What about the tower?" Tai asked.
"You worry about those fighters!" Matt responded. "I'll worry about the tower!" Matt's X-Wing streaked through the trench, firing lasers. Matt broke into a nervous sweat, as laser fire is returned, knicking one of his wings close the engine.
"Gunner, that-that stabilizer's broken loose again!" he said. "See if you can lock it down!" Gunner worked to repaired the damages. The canyon wall rushed by in the background, making his delicate task seen ever more precarious. Tai looked up and saw the TIE fighters. Matt's targeting device marked off the distance to the target. The three TIEs zoomed closer. The center TIE fired laser bolts at the two fighters flying down the trench.
He scored a direct hit on Tai.
"I'm hit!" Tai said. "I can't stay with you."
"Get clear, Tai," Matt replied. "You can't do any more good back there!"
"Sorry!" Tai pulled his crippled X-Wing back away from the battle.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor watched the escape but issued a command to his wingmen.
"Let him go!" he said. "Stay on the leader!"
* * *
Matt's X-Wing sped down the trench; the three TIE fighters, still in perfect unbroken formation, closed behind the two remaining fighters. Tai looked around at the TIE fighters. He was worried.
"Hurry, Matt, they're coming in much fast this time," he said. "I can't hold them!" The three TIEs moved ever closer, closing in on Matt and Tai. Matt looked back anxiously at Gunner.
"Gunner, try and increase the power!" Ignoring the bumpy ride, flak and lasers, a beeping Gunner struggled to increase the power, his dome turning from side to side. Stealthily, the TIE formation creeped closer. Tai looked around at the TIE fighters. Matt looked into his targeting device. He moved it away for a moment and pondered its use. He looked back into the targeting computer.
"Hurry up, Matt!" Tai said. The Digimon Emperor and his wingmen raced through the Death Star trench. Tai moved in to cover for Matt, but the Emperor gained on him. Tai saw the center TIE fighter aiming at him.
"Wait!" Tai said. The center TIE fired. Amazingly though, Tai managed to redirect the lasers using the Force. Instead the laser fire damaged one of Tai's laser cannons. Seeing what happened, Matt ordered Tai to stay back.
"Tai, I can't lose you," he said. "Go get some repairs, I'll be done here soon."
"Are you sure?" Tai asked. "You can't hold three TIEs at once."
"No, I can't," Matt replied. "But the Force can." Tai left Matt alone to his duties.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor took aim on Matt and talked to his wingmen.
"I'm on the leader," he said.
* * *
Matt's ship streaked through the trench of the Death Star. Matt concentrated on his targeting device. The three TIEs charged away down the trench toward Matt. Matt adjusted the lens of his targeting computer. Matt's ship charged down the trench. Matt lined up the red cross hair lines of the targeting device's screen. He looked into the targeting device, then something changed his mind.
The Death Star trench zoomed by. A grim determination sweeped across Matt's face as he closed his eyes. Matt's fighter streaked through the trench. The Digimon Emperor followed Matt's X-Wing down the trench. Matt's hand reached for the control and pressed a button. The targeting computer moved away. A officer spoke through Matt's comm system.
"Matt's, you switched off your targeting computer," he said. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Matt responded. "I'm all right." Matt's ship streaked ever closer to the exhaust port. Matt looked at the Death Star surface streaking by. The three TIE fighters, manned by the Digimon Emperor and his two wingmen, followed Matt's X-Wing down the trench. The center TIE fired on Matt's fighter and hit Gunner. The arms go limp on the smoking little droid as he maded a high-pitched sound.
Matt looked frantically back over his shoulder at Gunner. Smoke billowed out around Gunner and sparks began to fly.
"I've lost Gunner!" Matt said. The three TIEs zoomed down the Death Star trench in pursuit of Matt, never breaking formation. Matt looked anxiously at the exhaust port. Matt's ship barreled down the trench.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor's targeting computer swung around into position. The Emperor took careful aim on Matt's X-Wing fighter.
"I have you now," he said. He pushed the fire trigger.
* * *
The three TIE fighters moved in on Matt. The Digimon Emperor unleashed a volley of laser fire, but Matt suddenly put up his shields using the Force and the lasers collided into the shields, absorbing most of the impact. Matt used the Force once again and this time one of TIEs at the Emperor's side exploded into flame. The two remaining ships continued to move in.
* * *
The Digimon Emperor was taken by surprise and looked out from his cockpit.
"What?" he said. The Emperor's wingman searched around him trying to locate the unknown attacker but failed to find one.
* * *
Matt suddenly did something else, and one of the TIEs veered radically to one side, colliding with the Digimon Emperor's TIE fighter in the process. The Emperor's wingman crashed into the side wall of the trench and exploded. The Digimon Emperor's ship spun out of the trench with a damaged wing. His ship spun out of control with a bent solar fin, heading for deep space. Soon afterward it went into hyperspace. Matt concentrated back on the exhaust port, then fired his proton torpedoes.
Matt's torpedoes shot toward the port and seemed to simply disappear into the surface and not explode. But the shots do find their mark and have gone into the exhaust port and headed for the main reactor. Matt threw his head back in relief. The remaining fighters raced away from the Death Star III and headed toward the battle beyond. Several small flashes appeared on the surface of the Death Star. It burst into a supernova, creating a spectaular heavenly display.
"Great shot, Matt," Wedge said. "Now let's head for that Darksaber."
Author's Note: I had to cut this short because I was afraid fanfiction.net would not process this chapter because it would be so long. If I added the rest of the chapter it would not process. So for the next chapter I will continue the battle. It shouldn't be too long until it comes out.
