The carrier docked into the Speedrunner's hangar. The hangar was full of other ships. Mostly TIE fighters and bombers. There were also dozens of engineers running around, not appearing to be doing anything of use.
The carrier's ramp lowered, and Jonas stepped off of it. His navigator was there to greet him. She still looked like she was going to cry. Jonas didn't want to deal with her at the moment, so he just gave her a waving gesture indicating he didn't want to talk, and walked right past her.
Jonas exited the hangar through a door, and entered a hallway of one of the ships. Unlike the hangar, no one was inside. Just the captain and himself.
He didn't care. That was how he liked it.
He turned around to face the doors he'd just come through. They were now closed. Jonas wondered if the Stormtrooper with dark armor would walk through them, or if he was all alone for now.

Sulk followed Jonas through the doors, and looked around.
"What now sir?" Sulk said from under his helmet as he stood at attention...

Bourne had to move quickly.
He watched Jonas leave the transporter. The large doors closed behind him, the pilot and his co pilot began walking around the small carrier. Bourne revealed himself, they both turned on the dime and aimed their blasters at him.
"I advise that you put them away."
They looked at Bourne and steadied their weapons. Bourne took their action and moved his had across the front of him.
Both pilots flew back wards, the both hit the corners of the small ship knocking them out instantly; leaving a dent in the metal wall. Bourne wanted to make sure they didn't get away so he tied them up with nylon rope.
Bourne opened the doors of the ship and walked out, immediately he force jumped into the air and onto the rafters above. Bourne barely missed the wandering glance of storm trooper and his platoon. The area below him was very busy with hustle and repairs. Bourne crawled along the rafters and found what he was looking for, a ventilation shaft. Bourne peeled the metal fencing back and let it drop to the floor and crawled in.

"What now sir?" The Stormtrooper asked.
Jonas was about to answer him, when he heard a thumping sound from inside the hangar. He figured it was just the engineers working on a ship, so he shrugged it off and began speaking to the Stormtrooper.
"Since your platoon was massacred by that Jedi, you need to find the captain of the ship and request a transfer to another squad. Since I'm the captain, permission granted. Find a terminal and look for open squad rosters."
After Jonas was finished talking, he regained his breath, turned around, and started walking to the bridge.
After minutes of tediously walking through the Speedrunner's identical halls, he finally reached the pair of doors that lead into the bridge. As he approached them, they slowly slid open, making a loud, "Swoosh!" noise. This alerted the crew inside that Jonas had returned.
The navigator was there also. She was standing in front of the bridge's windows, in the spot where Jonas usually stood. That was something you never, ever did on his ship. To Jonas, that was the unofficial, "Captain's Spot".
He quickly walked up to her, ready to shove her out of the way and bombard her with insults, but as soon as he was within earshot of her, she turned around to face him.
"Sir...Admiral Tommkin sent a transmission to the ship while you were gone. The first thing he said was how incompetent you were for leaving your vessel and nearly getting yourself killed on the beach. The second thing he said was that he wanted all ships to re-deploy their troops over the Wookies' royal city." She informed him, her voice less grim than before.
"The royal city?" Jonas asked with a mixture of interest and curiosity in his voice.
"Yes, sir."
"Then enter the coordinates!" He ordered her.

Sulk made a face as Jonas walked off, and walked to the Barracks of the ship. He walked to the obvious person in control.
"Don't say anything." Sulk said as the trooper turned around.
"I am obviously higher in rank than you, so I am taking control. Get me a ship, and another damn platoon. NOW!" Sulk ordered.
The trooper nodded and quickly ran off, only to return and tell him his ship was ready, and that he was taking over a platoon on it's way to the royal city.
Sulk got into the tie fighter prepared for him, and picked up a radio that went to the cockpit of the Speedrunner.
"I need coordinates to the Royal City, and orders ASAP." Sulk said into the radio...

He silently sat in the cockpit his hands gripping the controls lightly as his Firespray sat a short distance from the Speedrunner. He had had enough time to concentrate his force senses on the ship in front of him, and he was certain from the force signature that he sensed that the Jedi was on board. He just wasn't sure what to do about the situation, because he still wasn't sure what he was going to do when he met the Jedi.

Bourne crawled through the long maze of ventilation shafts and emerged at a large grate over looking an engineering room.
Several guards were posted on lookout and another man was sitting at a computer station looking at charts. Bourne had reached his destination and put his feet on the grate and pushed as hard as he could. The metal grate flung open and out of the darkness Bourne jumped into the center of the room.
The four guards turned on the dime and aimed their weapons at him. The other man went and sounded an alarm. Bourne looked at them earnestly.
You men should be leaving about now. Said Bourne who moved his hand inside his robe and revealed a lightsaber. The group stepped back a step and fired their blasters.
Bourne's lightsaber lifted up from his belt and into his hand, igniting instantly. Bourne parried his lightsaber infront of him and the shots echoed through the large room. Waving his hand infront of his body, three out of the four guards bodies flew through the air and hit a large pipe in the ceiling braeking their necks. The last one began firing again. Bourne leaped to him and sliced his body in half. The last man standing was awestruck as Bourne retracted his lightsaber.
Your going to tell me where the shield reactor is. He said "persuading" him. The man listened and walked over to the panel and pushed a green paneled button. A large wall moved up into the air revealing a shield reactor. Bourne walked over and brought out a timed explosive set for two minutes. Bourne quickly jumped back into the shaft and made his way to the hanger.
Suddenly he stopped and brought out a hand set.
This is Master Bourne, all systems green. I repeat all systems green. He said into the comm link.
Three Large Battle Cruisers and Two Rebel Star Destroyers (The Main Fleet) emerged from lightspeed next to the Imperial Star Destroyer. They began unloading their fighter space craft and their lasers upon the Speedrunner above the shoreline.
Behind Bourne he could hear the bomb go off and the reactor shut down with a large "Bmmmvvvv". Their shields were down.
)(How about that for a surprise???)(

Sulk felt the bump, and quickly left his ship. He walked into the hanger and immediately aimmed his shot at the Jedi. Right as he fired a perfect shot at the Jedi's back, the ship jerked as it was shot, and he missed. Sulk re-aimed, his presence already known, and began to rapidly shoot at the Jedi...

Bourne drew his lightsaber, parrying the shots. The orange beams shot all over the hanger in orange streeks, Bourne began walking toward the trooper ready to attack once in range.

Suddenly, without warning, the entire Star Destroyer shook violently. Jonas managed to grab onto a nearby control terminal before falling flat on his face. Some of the other crew on the bridge weren't so lucky, but they were back at their posts within a few minutes.
"Captain, three rebel ships have shown up on our radar!" One voice shouted.
"Shield down!" Another yelled.
More voices began yelling, each louder than the other. Jonas didn't pay any attention to them. He just made his way over to one of the communication consoles in the bridge.
"They must be crazy if they think they can take us all on..." He thought to himself.
Jonas pressed down a red button on the console, and brought his mouth over to the built-in radio on it.
"Attention all ships! Attention all ships! We're under heavy attack by a Rebel fleet! Send assistance!" Jonas pleaded.
As if clockwork, another voice began speaking. Jonas recognized it as Tommkin's raspy voice.
"All Imperial ships in the area engage those ships! Speedrunner, power up your shields! You're no use to us if you're dead!" He ordered.
"Our reactor has been destroyed! The shields will not function!"
"Then put all power into the engines!
Jonas turned around to face his crew. A few of them were still shouting the statistics of the ship, but it wasn't as loud as before.
"All power to the engines! Give it everything we've got!"
Five seconds after Jonas said that, the ship lunged forward, moving away from the attacking Rebels at high speeds. The rest of the Imperial fleet was also turning around to engage them, and a swarm of TIE fighters were flying around the Rebels.
Jonas pressed down a green button on the console, and the ship's intercom bursted to life.
"All troops aboard the ship enter full alert! Search for any possible boarders! Pilots, prepare your aircraft vehicles and attack the enemy!"
Jonas didn't know it yet, but he'd never been this scared before in his life.

Sulk smirked from underneath his helmet as the Jedi approached. The Jedi walked slowly, and finally walked into his trap.
"I thought Jedi were smarter than this..." Sulk said as he rolled to the left, and shot a flamethrower at the Jedi from his arm.
As the flames rushed toward the Jedi, they also ignited a mine he had placed. The mine exploded less than five feet from the Jedi, and the whole hanger shook...

The mine exploded with a large boom. The hanger shook and Bourne was no where to be seen. The area around bourne was totaly in flame.
The troopers began collecting themselves again and looking for the cause of the explosion. Several troopers began tending to the damaged space craft.
Suddenly the fire arched over a lone figure, Bourne. The fire and smoke seemed to be moving around him, around a mysterious force of some kind.
Bournes eyes were wild with rage, his hands shot up frm his sides toward the opposite wall. The trooper that attacked Bourne lifted and as fast as lightning hit the wall leaving a rather large dent. Dont ever underestimate the force. He thought to himself.

A soft beeping sounded in his ear as he received an incoming call on his helmet's HUD. He accepted the transmission and was amused to see that it was a rebel that he had done business with in the past. He allowed a short sigh to escape him before he accepted the job for a very good price.
Cutting the transmission he gripped the controls tightly as he opened the link between his helmet and his ship's weapon controls. The Firespray accelerated, quickly catching up to the Speedrunner. Running along side of it he turned the proton-torpedo launchers toward the Speedrunner's hanger doors. With a voice command the torpedo's launched, hitting the door and exploding with enough force to create a hole more then large enough for the Firespray.

The ship shook violently again.
The Rebel ships were beginning to catch up with the Speedrunner, and the Imperial ships weren't doing much damage to him, although their shields were beginning to weaken.
"Sir, the radar says that a neutral target has entered the battle. He's inside the hangar!" The navigator shouted to Jonas.
Jonas sighed. He was getting irritated. It seemed like all the odds were turning against them. He considered his options; they could simply head for the escape pods and abandon the Speedrunner, saving a few lives. They could turn around and try to fight the Rebel fleet, or they could just continue to repel boarders and run from the Rebels.
"Divert power from the engines to the weapons. Turn around and fire on the enemy! Deploy the TIE fighters and bombers! Give them everything we've got and more!" Jonas told everyone on the bridge.

"I hope we meet again..." Sulk said as he threw three thermal detonators at the Jedi.
He jumped into his ship and started it as the detonators exploded...
