The millennium falcon, tantive iv, and an eagle descended towards Yavin IV. They landed at the Rebel base. General Donna met the group. "Commander you may settle here unless the death star destroys this moon or the empire invades. "General Donna said. "We haven't time to talk. The Death Star plans are in the memory systems of this R2 unit. "Leia said as she pointed to Artoo.
They hooked up Artoo and the outline of the Death Star appeared on the screen. Later there was a meeting in a large room with General Donna pointing out the weakness on the Death Star. Alan sat next to Luke with Wedge next to him. "You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface until this point. The target area is two meters wide. It is a small thermal exhaust port right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will cause a chain reaction and destroy the station. Only a precise hit will cause a chain reaction. The shaft is ray shield so you will need to use proton torpedoes. Good luck and may the force be will you. "General Donna said. "That is impossible even for a computer. "Wedge said. "It's not impossible I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home and they are not much bigger then two meters. "Luke replied. "Where are the dambusters when you need them? I doubt they could hit that exhaust port. "Alan groaned. "Dambusters who are they? "Luke asked. "World War II pilots who flew propellor driven bombers to drop bouncing bombs on lake to destroy the dams suppling power to the Nazis. "Alan explained. They left the room.
"When we get back to Alpha have the other laser equipped eagles ready to launch. "Koeing ordered. "What about our population? "Alan asked. They caught up to Luke and Leia near an X-wing. "I don't know about Han leaving. "Luke groaned. "He has to choose his own path no one can choose it for him. "Leia replied. The fighters took off and headed towards the Death Star. Koeing and Alan returned to Alpha.
"Attention all sections Alpha. We will be assisting the rebels in attacking the Death Star. Those who are not aiding in the attack will board the remaining eagle and hold behind the moon. In the event we fail you are to leave this area and head to the nearest habitable planet. Good luck, "Koeing said. The four laser equipped eagles took off and headed towards the death star. The rest of the alphians boarded other eagles and held positions behind the moon. The four laser equipped eagles reach the death star as gold squadron begins its trench run. Darth Vader and his wingmen come behind the Y-wings and Vader shoots the right wingmen causing his ship to explode. "Who is flying that odd looking TIE fighter? "Koeing asked over the comm. "That's Darth Vader the empires best pilot. Stay away from him. "Red Leader warned. "You don't have to tell me. I already had a bad run in with him. "Alan replied. Then Vader kills the lead fighter and the remaining one flies away only to be shot as well. "Those guys didn't have a chance. "Alan groaned. The eagles flew above the exhaust port. "How can anyone hit that thing? Luke shot small rodents on his home planet that were around the same size as that. He would need a lot of luck to hit it. "Alan said. The eagles circled back and shot some turrets Then red leader started his trench run. "Come on red leader. Hit that exhaust port. "Koeing said. Vader shot both wingmen and zeroed in on red leader. Red leader fired his torpedoes at the port. They missed and landed to the left of the shaft. "Rats he missed. "Alan groaned. As red leader flew away Vader came behind him and took out one of his engines. "I just lost my starboard engine. Get set up for your attack run. "Red leader said as Vader shot his remaining engines. Red leader crashed into the surface of the Death Star. Luke and two more fighters started their trench run. Then Darth Vader and his wingmen came up behind Luke. "Oh, know you don't "Alan shouted as flew into the trench behind the TIE fighters. Alan fired and Vader moved out of the way.
"Did you think you could stop me that easy? "Vader asked. "Just getting back for being choked. "Alan growled. Vader shot and damaged Wedge's X-wing causing him to leave the trench. "Hurry up Luke quick! "Biggs shouted before he was blasted by Vader. Biggs X-wing exploded. Luke continued towards the exhaust port. Vader damaged artoo with his next shot. Alan tried to shoot Vader again and missed. "The station is powering up for a shot. "Koeing warned. "All eagles holding behind the moon are orders to leave immediately before the Death Star fires. "Koeing ordered. The eagles behind the moon turned and started to leave the system. "I have you now. "Vader shouts. Just as he starts to fire one of his wingmen is hit from behind. Han destroyed one Tie fighter from the Falcon. "Welcome back Han. "Alan said. The other wingmen lost control of his TIE and crashed into Vader's causing him to go flying out of control. "You're all clear kid now let's blow this thing and go home. "Han shouted. Luke fired his proton torpedoes, and they entered the exhaust port.
"Let's get out of here now Alan!" Koeing shouted. "You don't have to tell me twice. "Alan replied as he flew out of the trench and away from the Death Star. "Stand by! "Was heard over the comm on the Death Star as Tarkin waited. The Death Star exploded. "All eagles the Death Star has been destroyed. Let's go home. "Koeing ordered. The eagles headed back to Alpha. Darth Vader's TIE Advanced crashed on the surface of the moon. "Koeing a TIE fighter crashed on the surface. We are going to help the pilot. "Helena said. "That's Darth Vader be careful. "Koeing warned. They held a victory ceremony on Yavin IV. Princess Leia gave Luke, Han, Koeing, and Alan medals. After the crowd applauded Koeing's commlock beeped. He picked it up and looked into the screen. "John there is something strange about Vader. "Helena said. "What about him? "Koeing asked. "He is badly injured from an earlier battle and needs a blood transfusion. His DNA matchs Luke and Leia's. He is or was Anakin Skywalker. You need to bring the twins here. "Helena said. "I will tell them. "Koeing said and put away his commlock. He told the twins, and they were shocked. "We will give him our blood. "Leia said. They boarded the eagle and Han followed in the Falcon.
