Chapter 4 Part 2
Five A-Wing fighters raced along the Coruscaunt skyline. They're markings where forest green and stood out from the orange and red sunset. Their small model was perfect for sharp turns and fast getaways. But the pilots inside were hoping not to have a fast getaway. The tension rose when three walkers appeared through the glass cockpit window. The AT-AT's mechanical structure was looming closer each second and that only made the pilots even more unsteady.
"Okay here we go." Said the leader, "Remember, fire at the weak spots: neck, knees, and eyes. Let's buy the temple time and do are best. And let the force be with us." Little did Green Leader know that the force was going to be with them, but not enough for them to survive this suicide attack.
Back at the control head General Bosbi looked on at the approaching fighters. The gunners of the walker braced themselves for target practice. "This should be a piece of moon cake." One of them said, "We'll have those pests out of our way in no time at all."
The A-wings sped to the walkers and fired some shots. The walkers' armor withstood the blows with ease. In return came two shots at the fighters. Bang. A fighter was hit and was trailing smoke. It lost control and crashed to the ground with a loud explosion. The remaining A-wings made a loop around the walkers and came from behind. Three swerved above the walkers and made their way for another pass. One did not. Hoping to penetrate a walker from the knees it went through the walkers legs. At that moment though, the leg next to the fighter rose and the A-wing crashed in to it.
Inside they control ihead/i the trooper at the monitor announced their success so far, "Two down sir and three to go."
"Keep at it." said Bosbi. He joined the trooper at the computer and looked upon the screen. Suddenly one flashed and disappeared as it crashed into a building. "Two left." He said.
Green Leader saw it was hopeless. He and his team had failed. "It's over for us." He said into his microphone. "This is our last chance and I'm not gonna loose it." He led him and his teammate around so they were facing the AT-AT's. His fighter got hit with one of the walker's fire and it swerved out of control. Bam! His craft hit with his teammates and exploded with glory.
Bosbi looked through the front panel at the brilliant display of fire. There was now stopping him, he would surely reach the Jedi Temple now. "Those foolish Rebels." He said, "Full speed drivers. Let's make this quick."
Luke sat in his command chair onboard the Mon Calamari star cruiser. He felt a disturbance in the Force. Something wasn't right. His troops somewhere were in trouble and he could feel it.
"Is everything alright?" Admiral Ackbar said from his chair sitting by the hologram of Coruscaunt.
"No…something's wrong, the ground base is in trouble. I'll be back." Luke said as he left for the docking bay.
"Luke, may the force be with you."
"Thanks."
Vader watched a hologram of the Rebel fleet inside his Star Destroyer. Over one and a half or at least two hundred ships were there. He was so curious of how the Rebel force had gotten so large since its beginning. When the Rebels started out there were about two thousand senators opposing the Empire. Eventually it grew and became a threat to Serious and his empire. Especially now that the Rebels had Luke. He suddenly awakened by his thoughts when Moff Jerjerrod interrupted him.
"Lord Vader the AT-AT's are preceding as planed. We should have control of the Rebel base soon. But I'm worried about the Rebel fleet. There are too many. This may be a fight we cannot win."
"No worries commander." Vader said with his deep voice, "I have already contacted the Imperial fleet. They are on their way. Anything else?"
"Yes… the emperor wishes to speak to you. He said it's urgent."
"I'm on my way."
