Hey guys!
And welcome back!
Now this is going to be a recreation of the famous "Trench Run" on the Death Star in the end of Star Wars Episode IV. I'm so excited to write this one, so lets get to it!
Use the Force Blu
With the fate of the entire Rebellion on the line, a small group of rebel X-wings and Y-wings have assaulted the approaching Death Star, a fully operational battle station that can destroy an entire planet with its super laser. Time was fast running out as the Death Star was coming around a huge gas planet to take out the fourth moon of Yavin, where the Rebel Alliance was based on.
With the first two attacks on the Death Star's exhaust port by the Y-wings first and then the X-wings failing, there was only a third and final chance to destroy the deadly weapon. Three X-wings, Blu as Red five, Roberto as Red three, and Rafael as Red two, were flying in formation above the Death Star when Blu spotted the last X-wing from the last attack crashing down into the battle station from TIE fighter fire. Blu sighed as inside the command room of the Death Star there was a chilling announcement…
"Rebel base, one minute and closing."
And back at the rebel base, Princess Jewel, with C3PO besides her, looking down at the screen that tracked the Death Star's movement had a look of despair while Blu spoke to his wingmen.
"Roberto, Rafael, let's close it up." Blu spoke as he still wouldn't give up. "We're going in full throttle. That ought to keep those fighters off our back."
"Right with you, boss." Rafael replied as he followed Blu.
"Blu, at that speed, will you be able to pull out in time?" Roberto asked, worried that going at full speed wasn't a good idea.
"It'll be just like Beggers Canyon back home." Blu replied as he and his wingmen flew down into the trench.
As they were diving in, lasers started shooting at them as they charged through.
"We'll stay back far enough to cover you." Roberto told Blu as he cut some speed.
"My scope shows the tower, but I can't see the exhaust port." Rafael expressed his worry. "Are you sure the computer can hit it?" Rafael asking Blu.
"Watch yourself. Increase speed, full throttle." Blu told his wingmen as imperial lasers continued flying all around them.
"What about that tower?" Rafael asked Blu.
"You worry about those fighters, I'll worry about the tower!" Blu shouted back to Rafael.
And the X-wings flew on, with the lasers still continuing their barrage as they tried to shot down the rebel fighters.
"R2, that stabilizer's broken loose again." Blu called back to his droid, who was riding in his own space behind Blu. "See if you can't lock it down."
R2 replied with some beeps before getting to work. And all of a sudden, the towers stopped shooting at the rebel fighters, which only meant that imperial TIE fighters were behind the rebels. And sure enough, three of them were hot on their tail.
"Fighters coming in. 3." Rafael reported.
As the TIE fighters closed in, one of them targeted Rafael and fired some shots, damaging Rafael's fighter.
"I'm hit! I can't stay with you!" Rafael reported to Blu.
"Get clear Rafael." Blu replied. "You can't do any more good back there."
"Sorry." Rafael quickly apologized as he flew up and out of the trench.
"Let him go. Stay on the leader." Nigel Vader's voice spoke as he ordered his two TIE escorts flying besides him.
"Hurry Blu. They're coming in much faster this time. We can't hold them." Roberto warned Blu in a panicked tone as the TIE fighters closed in for the kill.
"R2, try and increase the power." Blu told his droid, R2 beeping back as he then worked on it.
"Hurry up Blu!" Roberto said, getting extremely nervous. "Quick, quick!"
With Roberto locked on, Nigel fired his lasers and hit Roberto, the lasers shedding Roberto's fighter as the X-wing blew apart. Back at the rebel base, Jewel looked at the situation while back with Blu, he didn't let the death of his friend affect him as he focused no what he needed to do.
"Rebel base, 30 seconds and closing." The Death Star's command room announced.
"I'm on the leader." Nigel said as he began to target Blu.
"Hang on R2." C3PO said back at the rebel base.
Back with Blu, he brought up his targeting computer, which read the distance to his target, while Nigel got closer and closer. With the targeting computer reading the distance to the target closer and closer, all of a sudden, a voice, like it was from the inside of Blu's head, spoke.
"Use the Force Blu." The inside voice advised Blu. "Let go Blu."
Blu was rather confused as he took his eye off the targeting computer and wondered who was speaking to him.
"The Force is strong with this one." Nigel said about Blu, getting closer and closer.
"Blu trust me." The inside voice urged Blu.
As if Blu did trust the inside voice, he switched off his targeting computer, the instrument going back in its original place. Back at rebel base, rebel command was baffled why Blu switched his targeting computer off.
"His computer's off." Someone announced. "Blu, you switched off your targeting computer!" Rebel command told him, of course Blu knew that. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'm all right." Blu reported back as he got closer and closer to the exhaust port.
Finally Nigel got a close enough shot to Blu and he fired, however his shots going high and ended up hitting R2, R2 beeping a panicked tone as flames shot out from him.
"I've lost R2." Blu reported, as back at rebel base, C3PO had a worried expression.
"The Death Star has cleared the planet." Rebel command announced as on the monitor, it showed the Death Star had a clear line of fire on Yavin 4.
Back at the Death Star, in the command room, the screen changed as targeting information began popping up.
"Rebel base in range." The command room announced.
"You may fire when ready." An old Scarlet macaw named Felipe spoke to an officer.
"Commence primary ignition." The command room ordered as soldiers began preparing to fire the super laser.
Back with Blu, he still flew on, getting closer and closer as Nigel was locking onto him, soon enough Nigel finally got Blu locked on and began shooting.
"I have you now." Nigel said as he began firing.
But all of a sudden, one of his TIE fighter escorts exploded in flames as Blu looked back.
"What?" Nigel said, confused as he looked upward, along with the other TIE fighter pilot.
"Yahoo!" A familiar voice, which belonged to Eduardo, yelled out as from above, the Millennium Falcon came roaring down.
"Look out!" The remaining TIE pilot warned Nigel as the pilot panicked and crashed into Nigel, the Tie fighter crashing and exploding against the Death Star while Nigel spun out into space.
"You're all clear kid!" Eduardo shouted to Blu. "Now let's blow this thing and go home!"
And with a deep breath, Blu fired two proton torpedoes from his fighter and the torpedoes did the job as they entered the exhaust port down into the Death Star's reactor. Back at the Death Star, final preparations to fire were getting done…
"Stand by." Death Star command spoke.
The remaining rebel fighters and Millennium Falcon made a run for home base to get away from the explosion. And just as soon as the Death Star was about to fire, it all went up in a bright and fiery explosion, the whole battle station just disintegrating into nothing but debris.
"Great shot kid!" Eduardo congratulated Blu. "That was one in a million!"
And the inside voice again spoke to Blu…
"Remember, the Force will be with you always."
Well I had a lot of fun writing this one and I hope you guys have just as much fun reading it!
