Bilbringi Space Port
Vox started to the docking bay that held his ship after getting no useful information from the locals on Bilbringi. Just as he arrived, a battalion of stormtroopers caught a glimpse of his lightsaber.
"Hey, you, HOLD IT," called the leader.
"DAMN," Vox cursed and took off full speed toward his starfighter,
Shackle Sonata.
"Open fire, do not let the Jedi escape," the leader said with a volley of blaster fire raining towards Vox.
Weaving and dodging the blaster shots by mere millimeters to where Vox could feel the heat from the blaster bolts, Vox finally unclipped his brand new lightsaber he had made under the guidance of a Jedi Master. With a
Snap-Hiss a red beam ignited and Voxturned around and parried a blaster bolt just in time before it hit him in the back.
Vox quickly punched in a sequence of buttons on his gauntlet and spoke into it "R5, FIRE UP THE ENGINES!"
A series of
beep,bips answered and Vox let a small amount of Force flow into him and let it flow into his legs, speeding him up. As Vox neared
Shackle Sonata he poured more Force energy into his legs and lept at the canopy of the X-Wing, pushing a button on his gauntlet. Then the canopy slide up and Vox flipped in mid-air, twisted his body and brought himself into an upright position and landed right in the chair.
Vox pushed a sequece of buttons in the cockpit and the canopy closed and pushed another switch to bring up the shields as blaster fire bounced harmlessly away on the shields. Vox hit the repulsor lifts and lifted from the ground and the alarms around the space port went off.
Biting back another curse, Vox charged up his laser cannons and prepared to fight his way out of Bilbringi. Vox hit the thrusters to full and tried to make for open space where he could jump to lightspeed.
A squardron of TIE fighters screeched towards Vox and green laser came at
Shackle Sonata. R5 screeched warnings and Vox just ignored them as he began juking right and left not letting enough laser pelt his aft shield to bring it to 0% efficiency. Vox shifted all his shield power into his aft shields and quickly began plotting a hyperspace desitnation.
Then a white dagger stabbed into the dark space that he was heading.
Sithspawn! Vox cursed and did a barrel roll to the left and lasers barely missed his starfighter. Vox shifted his shields equally again and barrel rolled like a maniac and slammed on his left rudder to bring him around to face the squardron of TIF fighters. Squeezing off 4 shots, one pieces the ball cockpit of the lead, detonating it and sending shrapnel into the adjacent two TIEs, also igniting them into a ball of orange flame. Two clipped the solar panels of the TIE bringing up the rear of the formation and sent it into a spiral back to the planet before it detonated. The last shot missed everthing all together for the TIE pilots finally realized they were being shot at and scattered formation. Vox slammed on his right rudder once more and sped towards open space, out of Brilbringi's gravity shadow.
Not really looking at his destination, Vox pulled the hyperspace lever and the stars became white lines across his viewport and then into the blue tunnel of hyperspace.
