24.

"This is Red 5, I'm going in!" Luke announced, shooting at the surface of the Death Star. Anakin was following behind him, watching as a few sparks hit Luke's ship.

"Luke! Pull up!" Anakin demanded as soon as he was about to go through the sparks. Those sparks could destroy his ship if he gets too close. "Are you alright, Red 5?" Anakin asked as soon as he could see him.

"I got a little cooked but I'm okay." Luke reported, analyzing his ships damage.

"Red 5, let me know when you're going in." Red Leader said.

"I'm going in now." Luke reported, moving his ship near the shaft.

"Watch yourself! Lots of fire coming from right side of the deflection tower!" Red 6 told.

"I'm on it, I've got your back, Luke." Anakin told.

"I'm right with you, Skywalkers." Biggs reported, "Porkins, you comin'?"

"I got you." Porkins joined the action. But Porkins couldn't stay low, he must've been grazed by a blast.

"We've got a problem here." Porkins muttered.

"Eject!" Biggs pleaded.

"I think I can hold it." Porkins explained, the strain in his voice Anakin could tell he couldn't.

"Porkins, pull up! We've got it covered, pull u-" but it was too late. Anakin saw Porkins go offline on his screen and saw a giant explosion behind him.

That's the moment it became real for Luke. He couldn't believe if he made one wrong move he could die the way Porkin had. But the traits he possessed allowed him to turn his fear into there is no better way he'd like to die.

Luke, trust your feelings.

He heard the voice again. Obi-Wan was in his ear. At firs he thought something must be wrong with the com link.

"Red 4, did you just say something?" Luke asked.

"I didn't. But Luke, stay focused! Imperial fighters are headed our way." Anakin alerted him. He knew they would come, he knew how (Y/N) would react to this.

"My scopes negative, I don't see anything." Luke whined.

"Pick up your visuals scanning!" Red leader advised.

Luke shook off the incident, by picking up his scanner. He continued his attack on the surface while Anakin continued to protect Luke. Any TIE that came near him was shot down with ease, this was second nature to Anakin. They could throw as many TIE's as they wanted his way and he would find some way to dodge their fire. Anakin also noticed that even though Luke doesn't notice it, he's using the force through his maneuvers. He can see it. No normal man could weave through fire the way he is.

"Biggs, you've picked one up! Watch it!" Luke told him.

"I can't see it!" Biggs panicked. Luke responded immediately.

"I'm coming." Luke told his panicked friend. Anakin followed to watch out for Luke. It didn't take long until he hit the TIE pursuing Biggs.

"Good job, Luke!" Anakin congratulated him. Luke sighed in relief. Anakin had to swing around Luke in order to get in back of him again.

That's when he saw a TIE begin to follow Luke.

"Luke! Behind you!" Anakin warned.

"I thought you were behind me?" Luke asked, looking behind him to see a TIE shoot at him. It happened so quick that it grazed a bit of his wing, "Woah!"

"Are you hit?" Red Leader asked.

"Red 5, where are you?" Wedge asked.

"I'm hit but not bad, R2 see what you can do with it." Luke said.

"I'm on it, Luke, hold on." Anakin assured him. He swung his X-Wing around to go straight at the TIE head on. He shot precisely enough to be able to go straight through his explosion of debris.

"Thanks Anakin." Luke sighed.

"Good shooting, Red 4!" Wedge said as he saw the whole thing just in time.

"Red Leader, this is Gold Leader. We are starting our attack run." Gold Leader communicated.

"I copy, Gold Leader. Move into position." Red Leader confirmed.

"Stay in attack formation." Majka told her troops as she entered the atmosphere. He was so close.

"Exhaust Port is marked and locked in." Red Leader announced, "Switch all powers to front deflectors."

The Gold team moved down into the crevice that lead to the Exhaust Port. Red Team listened as the men panicked, they claimed there were 3 TIEs that followed them down. it wasn't long until their servers went offline.

It was Majka. She trapped and followed them with cover of two other TIE fighters. At first she thought little of it until the second wave of Red Team members went into attack pursuit. They were after the Exhaust Port.

She turned her comlink on to connect to Tarkin: "Majka to Tarkin."

"I copy. What's the issue, My Lady?" Tarkin responded after a few moments.

"I know what they're after." Majka responded, "They're attack is for the Exhaust Port there is a danger there. I should know I went over the plans for this Death Star millions of times. We made it as small as possible but there is a weakness. Get your ships ready for evacuation."

"Evacuate?" Tarkin responded quickly, "Why? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their abilities."

"I think you overestimate your own!" Majka told him, "If you do not evacuate, thousands of lives will be-" she destroyed the last of the first wave of Red Team attackers, "done for. Even if they don't succeed-"

"I think instead of saying they will succeed, Majka, focus on your own success!" Tarkin tried to change her frame of mind.

"I will do all I can, but take precaution. Admiral, you will evacuate these people!" She yelled then shut off her communication. Although she killed many of her own, the people who have done nothing to her, done nothing but helped do not deserve to die. This is where she found a strange form of belonging, they could not destroy this.

"I just lost my star board engine! Prepare for your attack run!" Red Leader yelled to Luke as his ship crashed onto the surface of the Death Star. Luke saw his ship explode below him.

"If we're going in, we're going in full throttle. That'll get those fighters off our back." Luke told the remaining group.

"I'm right behind you, son." Anakin responded, joining the attack.

"Luke, at that speed are we going to be able to pull out in time?" Biggs asked, joining on the right.

"Yeah, it's just like Beggars Canyon back home." Luke smiled. The three ships dipped into the crevice and ran through it as quickly as possible, followed by the three infamous TIE fighters.

Anakin felt it again. The cold breath that goes down his neck. It's her, he recognized the feeling. He looked behind him for a moment and caught a glimpse, when he looked at it his skin crawled. It was her.
