As we exit hyperspace, an enormous fleet of Imperial ships that contain at least three times more fighters greets us. It contained at three Imperial Class Star destroyers, one Imperial Class II Star Destroyer, and several Dreadnaughts. We, however, consisted of a single Titan, TDN Berk. It holds 50 Starfighters all together.
"This is Captain Garrison, all hands on deck, man the turrets and launch all fighters." Garrison orders swiftly. Five squadrons consisting of 10 fighters each, launched.
"Hawkins, take Phoenix Squad and Supernova's 1 through 5 to attack the Dreadnaughts." I begin. "Keith, take Terran Squadron and Vossk's 1 through 5 to deal with the Class One Star Destroyers."
"Copy that." Were the two replies I get.
"Valkyrie Squad, you are with me and the Ghost to cover their boarding. The remaining members of Supernova and Vossk Squads, protect the Titan." I finish, piloting my way to the Ghost. Within seconds, around 150 TIE Fighters were firing at us. Within moments, 10 of them are gunned down with only one casualty, Supernova 4, from us.
"I've got one on my tail, I cant shake em."
"Good hit, good kill, splash two."
"I'M HIT! My stabiliser is out!"
"Watch your backs Vossk's!"
"Incoming, point seven."
The comms were filled with the pilots chatter. By the time we eliminate half of the fighters, we lose around five of ours. Suddenly, an alarm sounds throughout my squad.
"This is Valkyrie Six, I've been hit, I'm losing my systems!" One of the pilots in my squad frantically call. I bled my speed and personally deal with the issue before answering.
"Head back to the ship, its not worth staying out and losing your life Arch." I call to the pilot using his nickname.
"Sorry boss." He replies, wrestling control for the way back.
"As soon as the Ghost lands, head back to base or help out with the other squadrons!" I call to the remainder of Valkyrie Squad.
"This is Valkyrie two, you sure about that boss?" Another pilot asks cautiously.
"Every one of your lives hold enough value to me to order it." I reply.
"Copy that." A chorus of replies crackle through. As we got closer to the Imperial Class II Star Destroyer, I relayed my next orders.
"Arm Ion and EMP Torpedoes, aim for the bridge and engines, I'm going to land with the Ghost. See you all when this is over!" I relay, the bombers of the Squad begin their run as I cut off my comms. Landing was the easiest part of the mission. As I exit my Starfighter, Ezra calls out to me.
"You got a plan for this?" He asks with a smirk.
"Only that I'm getting Fives. Other than that, not really." I reply with a smirk of my own.
"Didn't think so. May the Force be with you Vex!" He calls back, running up to the rest of the crew.
"And with you." I reply. I begin walking toward the prison cells when I hear blaster fire. Beginning to sprint towards the commotion, I notice all the cells were open. Right in front of me, was Fives, battered and bruised, leading a revolt with fellow prisoners against the guards.
"Watch your left flank!"
"Blast those bastards!"
"For the Old Republic!" Shouts sounded throughout, before the sound of a lightsaber could be heard.
"INQUISITOR! BACK THE FUCK UP EVERYONE!" Fives shouts out. As two inmates were bisected by spinning blades. I then come back to my senses and intercept the inquisitor. As I do, I notice something that should be impossible.
"Galen." I mutter. "EVERYONE GET TO THE GHOST! I'LL DEAL WITH THE INQUISITOR!" I shout to the inmates. They sprint off towards the hanger, leaving me alone with Starkiller. I back off and deactivate my saber, returning it to my belt. Blades spinning in sync with the movements of the wielder then assault me. As Starkiller attempted to impale me, I block with my bare hands, absorbing the energy of the saber, shocking the inquisitor. Using this to my advantage, I take out a replica of Ezra's lightsaber, and using a stun bolt, I incapacitate the inquisitor. Taking his weapon, I drag him back to the hanger bay. Along the way, I meet up with Kanan and Ezra while they head towards the reactor core to destroy the ship. I mention to them that they need to go to Cato Neimoidia to go and rescue a Jedi while I try to redeem the inquisitor I was carrying.
By the time I reached my fighter, the Star Destroyer shook. Taking my leave, I notify the fleet of my departure to Kashyyk. Hopefully, I would be able to redeem Starkiller to Galen Marek before the next important mission.
A/N – Its been a while. Exams have been bogging me down so I won't be updating very regularly for some time. This chapter was a short one for a more intermission into the Force Unleashed timeline. I had Starkiller as an inquisitor because it was originally planned for that in Star Wars Rebels but was never put in. Anyway, read, review and like if you enjoy this story. Nut Out.
