((skyhoppers don't have droids...))
Icharus put himself into a snap roll, and taking a couple pot shots at the now diving Kefka, and blasted into a sideways loop.
"2 on 1? Okay, it will be sad if I win this though.." Orrin stated through gritted teeth, since the snap roll put him at around 9 gees. Any tighter and he would have either passed out, or worse, ripped the wings right off...
Orrin took to looking for the other opponent, making sure he wouldn't be caught off guard.

((i know, im just sayin))
Kefka angled his hopper, and evaded a few of the shots, and then turned the craft around, and pulled up, firing again at the pilot.
"Bring it on, Mr. Unknown."

"Ugh... Must I do everything myself?" Orrin said, as he hit the boosters, straight at the firing skyhopper. He rolled, letting the shots wizz by, and used his wing to scrape the stabilizing bar.
"Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more!" He stated to himself, shooting straight into the sun, and donning a pair of sunglasses for himself.

flipping down his sunglasses, Orrin noticed something strange-a hopper was diving straight towards him out of the first binary sun.
"haha!" Jarik said as he executed a death roll. "Death from somewhere up here!" he flew head on towards his opponent, spinning and blazing away with his WG lasers until he knifed off to port at the last minute. "How'd ya like them apples!"

Orrin cursed as Jarik was too late knifing at "the last minute". In the stunt, Jarik had managed to clip Orrin's wing.... so much that the normal trifoiled skyhopper only had two wings. Flames erupted, as smoke billowed in the cockpit.
"Dodged the lasers, but jesus christ, I'm 7000 feet above ground, and I don't beleive I know how to fly..." He stated over the coms, as the smoldering ship went into a spin, naturally, since no more lift came from the right side.
"Come on baby, hold for daddy..." Orrin gritted, as the ship sank. His altimeter read 6000, 5000, 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000, 500.... And then he managed to level it out, right before it hit the sand....

Orrin felt the hopper smash into the ground. Luckily, his restraining harness was on tight enough to where he didn't fall through the window. Unfortunately, as with all valued things, he managed to hit his head on the instrument panel during the massive jolt, and as he undid his harness, and bailed out onto the hot sand, he felt the blood drip from his temple in a decent flow. His ears were almost as bad, as he heard the ringing of a thousand church bells echo as he watched from his bum the skyhopper continue to burn.

Suddenly, Kefka saw the pilot's hopper crash down. Alarmed, he dove down, and hit the eject button at 50 feet, rolling down towards the pilot. The impact hurt badly hurt his leg, but he limped over to the pilot, watching the smoldering remains of his hopper.
"Hey buddy, you allright? That was quite a nasty spill you took. Can you stand?"
Kefka offered a hand to the pilot, whose name he still didnt know.

"I would be, if you hadn't done that. Most people don't just go and wreck a good skyhopper. You would have done more good radioing in a transport for me back at base, rather than doing that little stunt. Now we are both screwed. Also, I have a concussion, I think, whereas you have a fractured leg and maybe even a sprained gastrocnemius... but I'm not the medical droid." Orrin said flatly, standing up normally.
"Oh well... Every time Icharus went to the sun, he fell down back to earth as his wings melted. No different this time."

"He only did it once, then he drowned." Jarik said as he walked towards them."every flyboy knows that tale." he stopped and looked at the damage."I think by default I won, being as I knocked Icharrus over there out of the sky, not intentionaly mind you, and Psycho just wasted a perfectly good hopper and got himself smashed up in the process. Being as Im the only one with a hopper, still working, I think we better use it and get back to base." he pointed to his skyhopper parked several yards away. "and just so you guys don't feel so bad you lost, and to help in dulling the pain you boys must be feeling, I'll buy the drinks. sweatdrop And I think it would all be in our best of intrests to chalk this up to a freak sandstorm. HQ might not aprove of us having a mock dogfight."
he glanced at Kef's leg. "Psycho, you gonna be alright?"

"You, win? That's rich. 3 hits, not decimation. That's beside the point. Let's get to business. One, HQ knows we went down. They do have radar, and magically two aircraft go down? meanwhile, the rest of the trainees are over in that nice gulley shooting wombats. I'll be hoping that the guy at the dish was on the can... Second, I don't think we can all fit into a skyhopper. Not to mention how we are going to explain flying back to base missing two aircraft..." Orrin stated, analysing the situation.
"My biggest hope is that they go lenient on me... and throw me in the brig.."

I don't want to crash with another guy sitting in my lap. nasty way to go."((you mean womprats right?))

"Then be off with you, and call in a transport. I'm heading via the way I know how, by foot." Orrin stated, as he began to walk in the direction of base.
I have no water, no food, its a good 20 km to base, and only a pack of smokes... what luck to have someone crash into you.

"I'm not the one with the broken leg," Icharus quickly pointed out, as he set forth into the desert heat. "You need all the room you can get in that pile of scrap that they call a training craft. I can still walk..."

I'll flit Psycho back to base and come back to get you. no sense walking through the deserts of tatooine alone. the jawas will get you and suck out your fluids."
