Rusty Metropolis

1 1:56am 13/08/02

Dellalt Orbit
 The Defiant II was a massive MC90. Next to The Defiant, also in a stationary orbit, sat The Liberator, another MC90. The ships still looked new, as they had yet gone into combat. Rusty Metropolis, leader of the Rebels, feared that would all change, and rather soon. This was his reasoning behind the collection of Da Soocha. He figured that adding Da Soocha to the Alliance would not only liberate the planet from corrupt Imperial hands, but would provide a rather strategic expansion point for the Rebels. Da Soocha was smack-dab in the middle of TNO territory, and Metropolis had recently informed TNO that the Rebels would fight on their side, having grown tired of the Rogue Empire's lies and their view of "peace." Metropolis stepped through the door to the bridge of the Defiant II, and a soldier immediately spun around, saluted, and came to his side.

"Sir! Welcome aboard. Is there anything I can get for you, sir?"

 Metropolis looked out of the viewport, at the watery planet of Dellalt, and returned his attention to the soldier.

"Tell me, umm..."
"Mayner, sir."
 Rusty sighed.
"Tell me Mayner...how long has my presence on this ship been known?"
"Since the time you boarded...about 20 minutes ago, sir."
"And my student's?"
"A few minutes later than yours was known, sir."
"And how long has Da Soocha known we were coming?"
"I'd say about 2 days, sir."

 Rusty's look didn't change. It still showed no emotion, but he was slightly agitated.

"Mayner...there  is something you can get me..."

 The man smiled slightly.

"Sir?"

 Rusty smiled slightly, realizing that the man was probably new, and hadn't gotten the idea, as of yet, that Rusty was impatient.

"You can get us inbound to Da Soocha, and you can get my student on this bridge, can't you?"

 The man turned to another, muttering

"Get Visic up here immediately."

 The man returned gaze with Rusty.

"Right away sir...Send word to  The Liberator that we're ready to go. Set in course to Da Soocha."

2 2:20am 13/08/02

Ade-AY Visic sits at his desk with his personal computer in front of him. As he satnds up, he picks up his 2 lightsabers and clicks them to his belt. He walks toward the door and it opens prematurely. The reason was because a soldier walked in.

"Sir, Metropolis requests your presence at once. On the bridge."

"Alright, thank you." Visic said as he walks toward the soldier.

The soldier turns around and follows him out the door.

Ade-Ay Visic walks down the hall towards the bridge. He enters without thought.

"I'm here master." He says as he walks up to his side.

Rusty Metropolis

3 3:55am 13/08/02

Rusty smiled as his student entered and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"It's good to see you, Ade-Ay. I sense nothing unusual. This mission should go as planned. Still, it's always good to be prepared for the unexpected..."

 One of the soldiers spoke, from his chair.

"We're coming up on the Da Soocha system. Preparing to exit hyperspace."

 The Defiant II exited hyperspace and pulled into the Da Soocha system.

"Mayner, get us into orbit. And open a hailing channel."

 The man scrambled frantically as The Defiant II slowly lumbered into Da Soochan orbit. Rusty smiled at Ade-Ay as he stood on the bridge. Rusty sent him a message through the Force.

"All is well, my student. It won't be long."

 The soldier snapped to a salute again.

"Channel open, sir."

 Rusty shifted his weight.

"Don't do that...and it's Metropolis, not sir..."

 He took his stance next to Ade-Ay again, smiling once again at the student as he began to speak.

"Da Soocha, this is Rusty Metropolis of the New Rebel Alliance. We have just arrived from Dellalt--"

"Sir, they are not responding. Long range scanners are picking up a fleet...I'm getting two Correllian freighters...they appear to be YT's...and there appears to be a few X or Y wings...maybe 6."

 Rusty sighed

"How long until they reach our position?"

"I'd say a good 3 minutes Sir."

"Alright. Keep the shields up. Ade-Ay, come with me..."

 Rusty started for the exit.

AdeAyVisic

4 5:59am 13/08/02

He looks at the scanners, seeing the Correllian YT freighter and the fighters. He senses distress. He looks at his master, you couldn't tell if he was mad, or sad. He usually had a proffessional expression on his face. In times like these, he wished he could be a Knight, so he could be flying free, in space. Until then he needs to follow is Master's instructions. He could see the men walking around to different stations. He looks at his master as he asks him to follow. He was hesitant at first, but he knows he needs to listen. And with a little aggravation, he follows his master as he strides back out toward the entrance at which he walked in.

The whole time he's wondering where he is going as his master, metropolis leads him through lenght halls. Out of no where Ade-Ay feels the force jerk at his stomach as his senses tell him something has gone wrong. He looks at his master's face, yet again. Only to see the same proffessional face. Dissapointed, he asks his master...

"Don't you sense that Master?" He thinks for a second. "The expression on your face shows nothing, is it me or are those correlian ships not here to give us a great welcome."

Rusty Metropolis

5 7:38am 13/08/02

Rusty made sure no one was in the hallway, and his professional expression faded. He put an arm around Ade-Ay's shoulder and walked closely to him, almost whispering.

"I felt it long before we left Dellalt. But we are not going to run from this one, my student. Go to the hangar bay. You'll be leading Alpha squadron. I'll take the bravo squad."

 Rusty grabbed his communicator

"Mayner, how long til they enter Da Soochan airspace?"

"About 1 minute sir."

 Rusty turned back to Ade-Ay

"Go! Now!"

 He yelled into his communicator as he ran down the hall.

"Put the fighter squadrons on alert. Ade-Ay and I will take Alpha and Bravo squad. Put the rest on alert. And keep me up to date."

"As you wish, sir. Less than a minute before we get visual."

 Rusty ran down the long hallways towards the hangar bay. As he reached the bay, pilots were manning the X-Wings. The Alpha and Bravo squadrons were already lined up for departure. Rusty ran to the only empty X-Wing near the Bravo squadron. He threw his helmet on and jumped clear into the cockpit, firing up the engines and slamming it shut.

"This is Bravo leader. Flight check in."
"Two"
"Three"
"Four"
"Five"
"Six"
"Seven"
"Eight"
"Nine here"
"10, ready when you are, sir."

"On my lead, flight. Do not engage unless you witness a hostile act. Repeat, do  not engage unless you witness a hostile act. Alpha leader, this is Bravo squad, do you read me?"

 Rusty awaited his student's response before he continued.

AdeAyVisic

6 8:07am 13/08/02

He runs down the hall to the hanger and gets in his assigned X-Wing. He turns everything on and shuts the cockpit. With R5 sitting behind him he felt as confident as ever. The X-Wing lifts up and turns around.

"I read you Bravo Leader. This is Alpha leader speaking. Alpha squadron, do you copy, check i now."

"One here."
"Two ready"
"Three set."
"Four checking in."
"Five reporting."
"Six ready."
"Seven Reporting."
"Eight, awaiting orders."
"Nine is go."
"Ten is ready."

"Good. You heard Bravo leaders Instructions, don't attac without a hostile act."

Ade-Ay Visic, very nervous, looks at his dash board, and puts his shields to maximum. He pushes the lasers to quad fire. He flys behind alpha 1 and looks to his left. He sees his master beside him. with his helmet and microphone on. That reminded him. he turns his head behind him and reaches for his helmet. He puts it on and confidentlt takes the lead of the pack.

"Alpha squadron follow me. We're taking the left, staying out of the way. We wil attack only if they do, flanking them from the side."

he sets there thinking out a plan. A light in his mind glows. He gathers the force. He says through the force...

"Master, good luck. May the force be with you."

With his plan he takes his tema 20 meters away from the estimated attack field.

"Alpha squadron, watch for 2 correllian freighter and a few X-Wing style ships. Maybe some Y-wing. Good luck team."

Rusty Metropolis

7 8:38am 13/08/02

Rusty pulls off to the right, in the middle of the other fleet's approach.

"Alright flight. Delta formation. On my lead."

 He turned full power to his shields and lasers, linking the lasers to dual fire. He lowered his thrust ratio to zero and sat, waiting.

"Mr. Metropolis, this is Grand Admiral Mayner. You should be getting visual soon, sir."

"Keep the radios free, Admiral, in case they hail you."

 Rusty switched his radio to the hail frequency.

"This is Rusty Metropolis of the New Rebel Alliance. We've come in peace, to enlist Soocha into the Alliance's ranks...this is Rusty Metropolis...we have come in peace and wish you no harm. Identify yourself...repeat...identi--"

"We are pirates, hired by the Tusken Raiders. Lower your shields and turn over your vessels, or have them taken, piece by piece."

 Rusty shifted in his seat, making sure the shields were at full power.

"Alright Mayner...keep the shields up, and close the hangar bays. If they get within firing range, take them out...alright squads, if they attack, you know what to do..."

 He cleared his throat.

"Sir, clearly you realize that two YT's and a handful of fighters are no match for two MC90s and 20 squadrons. As I said, we wish you no harm..."

"You talk too much, Rebel. Now die."

 Rusty threw his X-wing to full throttle and headed toward the first group of fighters he saw on the sensors; a group of 4-5 Y-Wings. He noticed another group of about 4 Y-wings attempting to flank the Bravo squad.

"Two, three, and four, you're with me. Five, six, seven, and eight, get those Y's off to the rear. Nine and ten, you're on patrol...offer assistance where possible. I got the one in the middle..."

"This is two, I'll take the @#%$ to the far left."

"Three...I'll take the one next to him...

"Four here, I'll take the last one"

 Rusty waited for his lasers to get lock on the Y-wings engines, then linked the lasers to quad fire. He fired twice, once in each engine. As first shot hit, the whole group scattered, as did Rusty's wingmates, each after his target. After the second shot, Rusty glanced at the HUD, "Shlds Dwn". He fired twice more and the Y-Wing's engines detached as the cockpit spiralled off in a wave of flame.

"Splash one. Alright flight, I'm coming to you."

"This is two, hell, 9, 10, where are you guys?! There's one on my tail, I can't shake him!"

 Rusty lowered his laser power slightly, diverting it to the engines as he shot off toward two. He got lock on the Y-wing. It was firing it's Ion Cannons.

 How can you be a pilot and be that bad of a shot? Rusty thought to himself. He fired, nailing the Y wing with two of his lasers, the other two missed as the Y=Wing spun to the left, still firing at Two.

"This is nine, I got him, boss."

 The pilot fired, nailing the Y-wing in the cockpit with all four lasers and destroying it instantly.

"Splash one."

 Rusty smiled

"Nice shot. How you looking Three and Four?"

"Ok, but we could use a little assistance, Rus."

"I'm on it."

 Rusty shot off after them, as 9 and 10 followed.

Selesa Malyndar

8 8:50am 13/08/02

"Your Majesty, the New Rebel Alliance fleet seems to be coming out of Hyperspace, and has launched there Fighter Squadron Compliment."

The Queen, dressed in elligant Royal Robes stood from the black, leather command chair, and walked up to the viewing port of the Imperial-Class Star Destroyer  Sovereign.

"Bring us out of Hyperspace, but keep us at a distance where there scanners will not pick us up. Grand Admiral Mayner has informed me that Rusty is a bit untrusting of people these days, so we don't want him accidently mistaking us for an enemy."

The Captain of the vessel nodded his head, and turned around to the crew that casually worked around the I.S.D's command bridge, handing out orders.

"And Captain..." the Queen continued.

"Yes, your Majesty?"

"Inform the  Darkflame, and the  Darkstorm that we are now officially at code red. I want all fighter compliments prepared to be dispatched at my command."

"Yes, your Majesty." he said with a humble, deep bow, before continueing. "Your Majesty, if I may make a suggestion...."

"Yes, Captain?" she said, folding her hands infront of her.

"Our fleet, though probably as powerful as The New Rebel Alliances, is still weaker than most fleets of the Galaxy. With your undivided attention, and support for the New Order's cause, you have gained bitter enemies. I would recomment that you be prepared to evacuate this ship, in the event of a large scale attack."

The Queen laughed, and made a silly gesture. The Captain had strongly advised her not to come, as did Gretta, and about three fourths of her military defense staff, but she would hear nothing of it. Things had become boring around the palace. Besides, what was a woman to do for fun? Sit around and sign documents all day? "Thank you Captain, but I feel perfectly safe here on the Command bridge. If today is the day I am ment to die, than it will be dieing a noble cause. I have always stood behind my allies, and I support them fully, weither it be Mlitaristicly, or Diplomaticly.... and sometimes, Politically."

The Captain stood for a moment, with a blank expression on his face. He had never heard a woman speak such.... dangerous, and yet noble words. He simply nodded his head, and returned to his duties as the Queen turned back to the main viewing ports.

The Fleet had been following the New Rebel Alliances warships since the... well, the Queen had no idea, but she knew it was somewhere near the Hutt territories, or Tholatin.... Ooh well. She made a mental note to study the Galactic Map more carefully when she returned to the Royal Palace of Serenity, on Dreena.

"Fighter compliments are prepared to dispatch. Our ships are all on Code Red, and we are charging Turbolasers, and Shields, your Majesty. Our Fleet is prepared for anything."

The Queen nodded her head, a blank expression on her face, though, in her mind, she was skeptical. The Divine Order was still a rising power, and it's military prior to that rise, was non-existant. Though the Military Forces of the Divne Order had gone through heavy training, they had yet to see official combat.

She nodded her head, indicating that she comprehended what he was saying. He, on the other hand, offered another graceful bow, and returned to work. She admired him, for his respect toward her, but, on the other hand, only her sister, and Gretta treated her an an equal.

Turning back to the Viewports, she watched the small dots with a whitish blue glow attached to them. She smiled, and took a deep, relaxing breath. The sight was truely a beautiful sight, but the thought of what these ships were used for adjitated her. They were Warships... used to reign destruction and Chaos on those that threatened them, or, in some cases, the innocent, and helpless. She shook her head, and signed once more, lowering her head to the cold metallic floor for a moment, before looking back up, and out of the Viewports.

With no warning at all, a massive battle erupted, right before her eyes.

"Your Majesty! The New Rebel Alliance is under attack! Our sensors show that two Corellian Corvettes are also entering the system behind the MC-90's in an attempt to flank the Enemy."

"I know! Order our fleet to enter the battle. Launch or fighters." The queen quickly made her way to the comlink near the Navigation center, and took it over from the communications officer. She opened a channel to all ships in the system

"This is Queen Malyndar, of the Divine Order. I am here to assist Rusty Metropolis, and the New Rebel Alliance. Surrender, and you will face less ruthless charges in court."

As she spoke, the massive Imperial-Class Star Destroyer began firing on the Corellian Corvettes that had entered the system, flanking the MC-90's. It was a truely awesome sight, the massive amount of reinforcement fighters that flew in to help the New Rebel Alliance fighters.

Now only the I.S.D, but two Lancer Frigates, entered the battle, flanking the I.S.D on both Starboard, and Port sides.

"Your Majesty, we've just picked up two MC-40's entering the system. They appear to be pirate vessels."

The Queen nodded her head, and returned to the Command bridge. "Inform our Allies."

Rusty Metropolis

9 9:21am 13/08/02

As Rusty's wingmates destroyed the pirate Y-wings, the ones that attempted a flank were immediately destroyed. The YT's that had first entered the scene had changed position and were headed far beyond Da Soocha. Rusty took out the last of the Y-Wings and spun his X-Wing around, facing the fight. He looked around, out of the cockpit, searching for the Alpha squad.

"Where is that kid..."  he thought to himself as he punched up a frequency on the com-link

"Ade-Ay...just where in the Force are you?"

 He watched the YT's closely as they shot towards the western side of Da Soocha. Rusty noticed on his sensors as another group exited hyperspace. He put his X-Wing at full throttle and sped toward the Corellian YT's.

"Bravo, on me...what the? Are those reinforcemen--no...they're not..."

 Rusty didn't get the same vibe from the fleet as he got from the pirates. He became increasingly paranoid as he yelled at the little astromech droid sitting behind him.

"R2...status report...now..."

 The droid beeped and whurred

"All systems operational, eh? Good, good...Mayner, just who the hell is that? Is that Royalty I sense?"

"Your insight serves you well, sir. It is, indeed. Queen Malyndar, of Dreena."

"The Queen of Dreena? What the?!"

"Sir? Is everything alright? Our turbolasers are charged, sir. Should we join the battle?"

"Yes...get those YT's off the Queen's Vessel. Protection of the Queen is our first priority."

"Aye, sir. Should we attempt capture of the Corellian vessels? For interrogation?"

"Mayner, are they firing on the Queen's vessel?"

"Yes, sir."

"Then shut up, and take them out. I don't need another YT...destroy them both."

"Yes sir."

"Bravo squad..."

 Rusty targeted the rear YT

"...on my target. Alpha squad, you have the other one."

 Rusty watched as the Liberator, the Alliance's other MC90, turned and opened fire on the lead YT. Rusty sped off toward the battle, in a hope to get a piece of the pirates himself, and to find out what the Queen was doing in Hutt space.

AdeAyVisic

10 7:13pm 13/08/02

"That's not any way to treat a lady. Haven't you little boys ever learned your manners? NEVER MESS WITH THE QUEEN OF DIVINE. YOU CAN SURRENDER NOW, OR DIE."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA"

Just laughing interrupts the Comm System.

"Fine then. You're dead."

Out of nowhere, and in the blaze of battle, Ade-Ay, leading the Alpha Squadron, came in for a huge surprise attack. The 2 YT Freighter were stunned when they saw them come from the side. The flank was more than enough to take out the freighters. The entire Apha squadron and bravo squadron took the second one out with no problem. It's a tremendous amout of hits from the entire team. Knowing that the second freighter is on the way to help his buddy, he just came to find him in pieces. The second freighter, being followed by Rusty Metropolis, and Ade-Ay Visic is easily shot down by pinpointed targets of Rusty and Ade.

"Nice, Alpha Squadron..."

Sounds and scratches interrupt the comm system, as another 4 YT 2400 Freghters begin to come in sight. They interrupt the transmission.

"Turn off the weapons NOW. Unless you would like to be destroyed, should I say, piece by piece. Then you would need to turn off your blasters."

"NEVER, Alpha Squadron. One, Two, Three, and four, get the first freighter on your right. Five, Six, Seven, and Eight, get the third. Nine and Ten, follow my lead. Bravo Squadron, I have 4 more YTs on my scanner. So where in the force are you?"

Ade-Ay Visic lets the force flow through him, as he takes off full throttle at the YTs. He uses the force to talk to his master.

"Master, I can't do this. I can't take these!"

Ade-Ay Visic and his team gets a beating as they try to take down the freighters. Ade-Ay looks at his Alpha Squadron through the window, as he looks around him. He banks left, letting nine and ten follow, he comes around and follows one of the freighters. Following a freighter with an X-Wing is harder than it sounds when you think about how fast freighter go compared to X-Wings. They manage to get a few shots on the freighter. The freighter takes a beating and finally gets out of following range when it flys toward it's team. The team of freighter have been giving the X-Wings a harsh time. They manage to take out only one freighter as they fight between the scattered parts and pieces from the blown freighter.

"This is four, I've been shot! I can't handle it. I'm docking!"

The X-Wing flys out of war, barely missing being shot. It docks at the Defiant II.

"Damn, come on guys. STAY ON THEM! Most importantly, try to stay alive!"

Ade-Ay Visic's confidence falls slowly as his team gets ripped in battle. He has no idea why the queen had to show up. He battles on and leaves the idea behind...
