They walked out into the hanger and Jaiden walked up to a short engineer that looked very frightened at the sight of him. He looked as though he might run. Which confused Battarr at the time; to him Jaiden seemed to be a very kind Jedi.
"Is the Iron Hawk ready?" Asked Jaiden as he got to the engineer
"Um, yes master Jedi." Quivered the engineer
"How many times have I told you? It's Jaiden."
"Sorry sir, I mean Jaiden."
Jaiden laughed and walked past the little man. Battarr followed him. He waved at the engineer as he past him.
"He thinks he has to fear me because I'm a Jedi." Jaiden laughed as Battarr caught up with him.
"Nice. So what's the Iron Hawk?" Battarr said
"One of my ships,"
"How many ships do you have?" Battarr asked as he passed his Y-wing
"Well I only have two, this one and my Jedi Starfighter." He said
As they passed the Y-wing, Battarr suddenly remembered about Ryiss.
"Um, I'll meet you at the ship. I forgot to get something." With that Battarr took off towards the living courtiers.
When he returned he had his friend hanging off his shoulder. Jaiden was standing at the ramp to a modified YT-1300 that Battarr guessed was the Iron Hawk.
"Who is this?" Jaiden asked as he looked at Ryiss
"He's a good shot. Well he is when he's sober. We could use his help." Battarr said.
"Ok. Just lay him in the one of the rooms." Said Jaiden as he turned and walked up the ramp
Battarr followed him and helped Ryiss up the ramp.
"He a Jedi?" Ryiss mumbled.
"Yeah," Battarr replayed.
When they got to the top of the ramp they were met by a small R5 astrodroid. "This is R5-X2; he's the astromech of this ship." Jaiden looked down at the little droid. "I call him X2." The droid made a few deeps and moved off down the hall. "I think we better be moving now so its going to be a fast take off."
Battarr nodded and moved down the corridor to try and hind a room to put Ryiss in.
Jaiden ran to the cockpit and activated the engines. The ship shook as the ship roared to life. Battarr had just set Ryiss down as the ship lifted causing Battarr to lose his feting and fall to the floor. The Iron Hawk's engines erupted and the ship flew off out of Yavin IV's air space.
Battarr walked into the cockpit holding his head. "Lovely take off." Battarr said sarcastically. He took the set next to Jaiden and looked out into the emptiness of space.
A small red light began to blink next to Battarr and a loud alarm rang.
"What the hell is that?" Battarr said as Jaiden reached over and turned off the light.
"I think some Imperial Ties would like to say hi." Jaiden said as he flipped some more switches. "Go straight back and claim up into the gunner set and keep them off me until I can move into hyperspace."
Without a word Battarr got up and ran straight back and found a ladder and claimed up it. He got into the set and fastened himself in, and then he put the head set on that was next to the controls.
"Were are they?" Battarr asked as he grabbed the controls
"Here they come!" Came Jaiden's voice over the head set
Battarr saw them; two Imperial ties were about 500 meters away. He moved the controls and the gun followed his movement. Timing his shot he fired two bursts at one of the ties and most of them found their mark. The tie exploded into pieces as it was 30 meters off. As the other flew by Battarr followed it with the gun. Once again timing he fired, but this burst was not on its mark.
"There are two other groups of them."
"What, did you fly right into a whole freaking fleet?" Battarr yelled over the com.
"I'm at 25; give me a little more time."
There was an explosion next to the turret that Battarr was sitting in. A tie fighter flew over his head and he turned the controls to face it as it left. He again waited for his shot and this time landed it, the tie exploded just like the last. He quickly turned again and fired before he even knew it and there was a second explosion.
"What the?" Battarr thought to himself. He didn't know how he did that.
As Battarr sat there in disbelief as stardestroyer fell out of hyperspace in front of them. This brought Battarr out of the some what trance he was in. More Tie fighters flew for beneath the massive ship, and they began to fly towards the Iron Hawk.
"Jaiden, we got a big problem…" Battarr said slowly.
"Don't worry. I had a feeling we might run into something like this so I called in for some help."
As Jaiden finished these words Battarr saw a squad of six X-wing fighters fly towards the destroyer, taking out the Ties on they're way. When they had reached the ship, they all spilt up and took on different points of the ship.
"50 percent!" yelled Jaiden.
There was an explosion next to Battarr and the second Tie flew over his head. He quickly turned and locked on to the Tie. As it rounded the ship, Battarr fired several shots with all but two hitting it. The tied fired again at them, but this time Battarr fired straight into the cockpit causing the Tie to blow up as it flew past.
Battarr looked back to the destroyer and there were now parts set on fire. One of the X-wings flew over the bridge and fire. It exploded into flames. As the squad flew away the destroyer exploded into a bright burst of light and flame.
"75 percent!" yelled Jaiden
"Just enough time for one more." Battarr said
Two ties were flying straight at him. There were several explosions around Battarr, but he was focused on the fighters. He fired three bursts, and one of the ties wings, it lost control and collided with the second one. The two exploded into a millions of pieces and they flew past the Iron Hawk.
"100 percent!" Came Jaiden's voice.
Battarr looked out and saw the star line turn to the blue streams of hyperspace. He unbuckled himself and slid down the ladder, still in a state of adrenalin. Slowly he walked back to the cockpit and sat down.
