Scene 90
Near Coruscant, Thrawn's fleet is engaging the last republic reinforcements in a heated battle. Several kinds of fighters are there as well. There are small and large explosions everywhere and countless laser blasts. Several large green lasers bombard the last of the republic reinforcement cruisers and cause it to explode! On the "Intimidator" Thrawn is addressed by Lieutenant Branix.
Branix: That's the last of their reinforcements. Shall we proceed with the attack on the blockade?
Thrawn: Yes lieutenant. Reform the destroyers and commence with a full frontal assault.
Branix: Yes Admiral.
The destroyers all realign in a row and move in towards the blockade. Commander Trook gives his orders as they approach.
Trook: Here they come! Focus all fire power forward!
A second commander named Plight speaks to him.
Plight: There's too many of them Commander! We won't hold long against thier fleet!
Trook: Let's hold them as long as we can! Chancellor Solo must get through!
The destroyers move within range of the blockade and the two sides begin bombarding eachother!
Cut to:
Thrawn: (To Branix) Steady our advance. We have them now.
Cut to:
On the bridge of commander Trook's cruiser Plight updates the situation.
Plight: Their firepower is too intense! Our shields can't hold forever!
Just then a tech officer reports.
Tech officer: Sir! We have republic cruisers incoming!
Trook: It's the Chancellor!
Just then the few available ships appear from hyperspace including the Chevalier, Admiral Ackbar's cruiser "The Deliverance" and the silver ray. On the Chevalier, Han sees how many destroyers are between them and the planet. Chewie growls at the sight of it.
Han: (To Chewie) Yeah I didn't expect this many either!
C-3PO: Oh look how many there are! We'll never get through!
Han: (To C-3PO) Can it or you're history gold pole! (To Leia) Well we're here! Did you have a plan in mind or do we just die today?
Leia: If we can get to the capital building I may be able to stop Thrawn.
Han: The Capital building!? How are you *maybe* gonna stop Thrawn from there?!?!
Leia: Nows not the time! I'll have explain on the way!
Leia presses the communicator button to address Trook.
Leia: Commander Trook, this is Chancellor Solo speaking. We must get through to Coruscant! Do you copy? We must get through to Coruscant!
Cut to:
Trook: Yes your Majesty! We read you loud and clear!
Cut to:
Branix: (To Thrawn) Several republic ships have emerged from hyperspace. What are your orders?
Thrawn: Continue the forward assault. Send two destroyers to guard our rear but let them come to us...
Branix: Yes sir.
Cut to:
A destroyer on the left and right side of the fleet turn around towards the small fleet that Leia and Han are part of. Han notices it and informs the group via transmission.
Han: Two destroyers! Coming right at us!
Cut to:
Lando: The silver ray can get past this fleet but I doupt these cruises can!
Cut to:
Ackbar: Have all fighters launch! Maybe they can draw enough of thier fire for us to get through!
Han: Copy that Admiral! (To Leia and Chewie) You and the droids follow me! I have an idea!
Cut to:
Scene 91
Saul and Luke are trading blows with thier lightsabers. Saul is clearly more aggressive as Luke defends. The two sabers lock for a moment until Saul pushes Luke hard back. Luke tires desperately to get Saul to stop.
Luke: Stop this insanity Saul! I'm not your enemy! I'm your family!
Saul: If you won't fight the darkside...then that tells me you've joined it!
Luke: You're the one blinded by the darkside! Look at the rage in you!
Saul: Enough!
Saul just yells and lunges at Luke once more. The two continue to clash lightsabers until Luke force pushes Saul to the ground. While Saul is getting back up, Luke takes the opportunity to duck into the shadows and hide amongst the droid parts.

Scene 92
Meanwhile, on the the "Deliverance" Admiral Ackbar is receiving a holographic transmission from Han.
Han: We're ready Admiral...tighten up the fleet and give us as much cover as you can! We're gonna do the wheel shield maneuver!
Ackbar: Ready on your mark Admiral Solo.
Han:...Launch the fighters...now!
Ackbar: Launching the fighters!
Cut to:
Several X-wings, Y-wings, Q-wings, and A-wings launch from the two main cruisers and begin heading for the destroyer that is turned towards them on the left side of the fleet. Several T.I.E.s come out of it's hanger and begin to engage the republic fighters.
Cut to:
Ackbar: Wedge! Lead all groups away from our cruisers and clear a path for the bombers! Try to take out any destroyers if possible.
Cut to:
Wedge: I'm already on the way! All groups follow me! Y wings...form up and be ready!
Cut to:
Gold leader: Forming up!
Cut to:
Purple leader: We're right behind you red leader!
Cut to:
Green leader: Let's give 'em a show guys!
Cut to:
Wedge: Alright...Let's take these destroyers down!
Cut to:
The wing fighters make a run over the left most destroyer and blast several surface cannons. Several T.I.E.s give chase and much of the destroyers fire power is focused on the fighters as Admiral Ackbar had hoped for. As soon as the fighters pass, the bombers began a bombing run on the destroyer drawing even more firepower toward them.
Cut to:
While the destroyer is distracted with the fighters, The Deliverance and the Chevalier move tightly together as of they are almost one ship. The begin to approach the left side of the destroyer that they are attempting to pass.
Cut to:
Ackbar is still speaking to Han via a holographic transmission.
Ackbar: We're in position for the wheel shield maneuver Admiral Solo.
Cut to:
Han is seen in the cockpit of the falcon now with Chewie, Leia, and the rest strapped in.
Han: Alright! I hope everyone's strapped in tight!
Leia: I sure hope this crazy move of yours works!
Han: Even if you had a better idea we don't have time to hear it...here goes nothing!
Han presses a button to speak with the Chevalier's bridge.
Han: Falcon to bridge?
On the bridge, the commanding officer in charge during Hans absence named Corket is strapped in his seat.
Commander Corket: We're ready Admiral.
Cut to:
Lando: Let's pray this works!
Kippo: Yes! Now!
Cut to:
Admiral Ackbar: All shields have been angled towards the destroyer. It's now or never!
Han: Do it!
Cut to:
Corket holds the ship steady with the Deliverance as they slowly start to pass the destroyer.
Cut to:
On the bridge of the Destroyer, the commander named Bleek orders heavy fire against the cruisers.
Commander Bleek: Focus all fire on those cruisers! Don't let them pass!
Cut to:
The Deliverance is on the right side and the Chevalier is on the left. All the smaller transports are on the left of the Chevalier and being protected by the two main cruisers. The two ships still as one take heavy fire but the shields on the Deliverance's right side are holding for the time being.
Cut to:
C-3PO: Oh this is a nightmare!
R2 wines loudly.
Cut to:
Lando: Hold it together a little longer...
Cut to: The Deliverance is taking all the fire and protecting the Chevalier but the shields begin to wear as they are nearly halfway past the destroyer.
Cut to:
Admiral Ackbar: The shields are failing Admiral. Are you ready?
Cut to:
Han: Just a little further...
Cut to:
The two ships fly a bit further as it seems the Deliverance can't take any more. Inside the red alert is going off and Ackbar and his crew are being shook up.
Cut to:
Han:...Almost...NOW ADMIRAL!!
Cut to:
Admiral Ackbar wrenches the controls of the Deliverance and at the same time Commander Corket does the same with the Chevalier. The Deliverance rotates in a counterclockwise manner while the Chevalier does the same! The Deliverance continues to rotate and pass over the top of the Chevalier as the Chevalier continues the rotate and pass underneath the Deliverance!
Cut to:
Lando: Now this is what I call a ride lizard man!
Cut to:
Leia: I think I'm going to be sick!
C-3PO: Oh! I can feel the oil rushing to my head!
Han: Just hold on!
Cut to: The ships finish the maneuver and end up in the opposite places with the Deliverance on the left side and the Chevalier on the right! Both ships continue to pass while flying upside down but now the Chevalier is taking all the hits for the fleet!
Cut to:
Branix: Look Admiral! Their cruisers are flying invertedly!
Thrawn: Quite cleaver...
Cut to:
As soon as the cruisers pass by the destroyer, The Falcon and the silver ray are seen flying out of the Chevalier's hanger which was offering them protection from the destroyer. They fly ahead as the cruisers begin to right themselves. The red alert ends on the Deliverance and the lights return to normal. Ahead is the blockade.
Cut to:
Thrawn: Send a destroyer to catch those cruisers! I dont want them to pass!
Branix: Yes sir!
A destroyer that was focusing on blasting the republic blockade breaks formation and blocks the Chevalier and Deliverance from going much further.
Cut to:
Han: Solo to Commander Trook! We're blocked by a destroyer! Can you make us a hole?
Cut to:
Trook: Hold on!
Several remaining blockade ships that are near the destroyer band close together and engage it at point blank range. The destroyer is able to take out a few cruisers in the intense exchange but finally the destroyer can't take anymore! The ship explodes in a brilliant fireball!
Cut to:
Han: Whoo hoo!
Cut to:
Trook: You're all clear! Now hurry! Go!
Cut to:
Ackbar and his crew cheer as well as he speaks.
Ackbar: All fighters break off your attack and follow us!
Cut to:
Wedge: Rodger that!
Cut to: The fighters are seen flying behind the cruisers and past the blockade towards Coruscant.
Cut to:
Grand Admiral Thrawn is seen watching the heros make their escape to the planet below.
