The enemy fighter spiralled into the asteroid and exploded. Xavier Cassius's deep blue Y-Wing spun round and fired bolts of red destruction at another fighter. It spiralled out of control and exploded. Xavier swept around and came alongside the transport he was being paid to protect. The Security Police (Espo) capital ship unleashed another wave of fighters. Xavier radioed his wingmen. "Guardian 1 and 2, close up formation." He said. The old Headhunters did so. The Eagle unleashed a cluster of missiles. They exploded against the enemy's fighters and decimated them. Xavier turned his ship's nose towards the Espo capital ship and opened the modified Y-Wing's engines to max.
The Eagle shot along the mountainous ship with the Headhunters in tow. Xavier aimed his ship towards the shield generators and pressed the trigger. The ship's laser cannons blazed, smashing the sheild generator to pieces. The Headhunters attacked the weakened capital ship aggresively. The Authority ship listed rapidly, and theEagle roared in to cause the killing hit. Her bomb doors opened and dropped a cluster of sonic charges. They slammed into the Espo ship and annihilated the bridge. Out of control, the destroyer motored into a gigantic asteroid and was destroyed.
Xavier returned to the transport ship and was coasting alongside her when his Y-Wing was jolted by cannon fire. He tilted the control yoke and the asteroid field tilted as the Eagle turned to face her attacker. It was a single Cloakshape, an old fighter, but obviously modified. Xavier accelerated and fired towards it, scoring a few hits, but nothing serious. It fired a missile at the bounty hunter, and Xavier flipped the Eagle over and fired a hail of shots towards the Cloakshape. It jerked out of the way but the missile was destroyed by Xavier's shots. He swept around as the Cloakshape opened fire. The shots struck home, damaging the Eagle . Xavier, furious, turned the Y-Wing and fired. The Cloakshape was jerked again, black smoke erupting from the engine.It fired a missile which struck the Y-Wing.
The ship was thrown off course, it's shields and it's engines destroyed. It spiralled out of control, it's pilot fighting desperately for his life as the Eagle plunged towards the planet of Duroon, As another Espo destroyer came out of lightspeed at the edge of the asteroid field. The Cloakshape following, Xavier's ship plunged towards Duroon, burning.
Duroon Surface
TheEagle sped down towards the jungled surface of Duroon. The modified Cloakshape still followed, obviously out for blood. More bolts rocked the Y-Wing. Xavier, fighting his ship's controls, activated the turret ion cannon. It swivelled around, tracking a target. Xavier lined up the Cloakshape in the targeting crosshair and fired. Two bolts of lighting-blue energy lanced from the Eagle and slammed into the Cloakshape. It shook, it's systems shortened out, and plummeted towards the surface.
Xavier brought his ship under control, levelling out just above the lush canopy. But he was going down, no doubt about it. He braced himself for the crash.
The Y-Wing slammed into the jungle canopy and skimmed across the trees, jolting Xavier like a doll in his cockpit. It jerked to a stop and fell to the ground with a bone-shattering crunch.
Xavier opened the canopy and climbed out, grabbing his E-11 as he did so. He called to Red, his R2 unit. "Stay in the ship, Red. I'm going to have a look around."
The Cloakshape had regained control of her systems just in time, and was now searching along the jungle for Xavier and his ship. Uul-Raa-Shan banked his ship, radioing the Espo destroyer. "Send down fighters and a few troops. We have to find Cassius."
