As the battle raged above the Black Gorge, Aerrow and the other Storm Hawks regroup at the Condor. As the Storm Hawks made their way to the bridge, they could see the raging battle between the Atmosian Coalition and the Yuuzhan Vong. They could see the Malevolence leading the assault, destroying one Vong Worldship after another. The Storm Hawks were in awe at the Malevolence's display of power.

Piper: I never thought we'd ever see the Malevolence in action.

Aerrow: Stork, take us to Tsavong's Worldship. It's time we ended this!

As Stork attempts to pilot the Condor to Tsavong's Worldship, the Condor was fired upon by the Worldship. The overwhelming firepower of the Worldship forced the Condor to retreat. 

Finn: I think they know we're coming!

Stork: There's no way we can get inside the Worldship unless we can get their guns occupied on something else!

Piper looked outside to see the Malevolence. Without hesitation, Piper attempts to contact the Malevolence. 

Piper: Condor to Malevolence, this is Piper! 

It didn't take long for Master Cyclonis's voice to be heard on the Condor's radio.

Master Cyclonis(Radio): I hear you, Piper. What is it?

Piper: We're trying to get inside Tsavong Lah's Worldship, but we can't get close! We need you to attack that Worldship so we can get it!

Master Cyclonis(Radio): An interesting request, Piper. You're putting a lot of trust on your sworn enemy who could easily blast you out of the sky. 

Piper: Because desperate times call for desperate measures. 

As Piper said this, there was silence. The Storm Hawks looked outside the window and could the Malevolence moving on Tsavong's Worldship. The Malevolence then fires a volley of heavy blaster fire on the Worldship. As the Malevolence fired on the Worldship, the Worldship focuses it's fire on the Malevolence. At the same time, swarms of Yorik-et starfighters poured out of the hangers and into battle against the Malevolence. 

Master Cyclonis(Radio): I have given you your opportunity. Do not waste it.

Aerrow: Stork, take us in. 

Stork: Here we go...

Stork then pilots the Condor into one of the hanger bays of the Worldship. They shot down several Yorik-et starfighters that attempted to intercept them. After a brief but fierce battle, the Condor was able to land inside the hanger bay. Immediately, they were attacked by a squadron of Yuuzhan Vong warriors. 

Vuuzhan Vong Warrior: Kill the heretics! Make them scream!

As the Vong Warriors readied their Amphibistaffs, Aerrow and the rest of the Storm Hawks ran out of the Condor and fought the Vong Warriors. Aerrow leads the charge as the Sky Knights cleared out the hanger. 

Finn: Okay....that was intense. 

Aerrow: We're not out of the woods yet, guys. This Worldship is no doubt crawling with Vong warriors. We're going to have to fight our way to the bridge.

Junko: Why the bridge? 

Piper: It has to be where Tsavong Lah is. 

Aerrow: This is it, guys. This is our chance. There's no turning back now. If we can take down Tsavong Lah, then we can end this war. It won't be easy. This ship is going to be crawling with Vong warriors, not to mention have multiple traps set up to keep us out. But I know we can do this. I know we can beat the Vong and drive them out of our planet. 

With that, Aerrow rallied the Storm Hawks to him, ready to fight the Yuuzhan Vong, despite the overwhelming odds against them. 

Stork: So what you're saying is that we're going to have to fight our way through an alien ship crawling with enemies who have no qualms about killing us in the most painful way possible to face the leader of said enemy that you alone barely survived against with Dark Ace? 

Aerrow: Exactly. 

Finn: Dude, with all the crazy crap that's happened to us since this whole thing's started, I'd say our odds are actually pretty good at this point. 

Aerrow: We've come too far to give up now. Everything is riding on us. Everyone out there is putting their lives on the line. Stork, I need you to stay with the Condor. 

Stork: Under normal circumstances, I would be VERY fine with that! But what if more Vong show up!

Finn: Then use all those traps you installed on the Condor. I'm sure they'll work on the Vong. 

Stork: Try not to die. 

With that, Stork ran inside the Condor and sealed it. The weapons on the Condor began to power up. After that, Aerrow turned to the rest of the Storm Hawks. 

Aerrow: The rest of you are with me. We're going to the bridge and take down Tsavong. It won't be easy. We'll most likely have to fight our way to the bridge. But I know we can do it. If we can take down Tsavong, then we can end this war. 

As Aerrow said this, Piper along with Finn, Junko and Radarr nodded to Aerrow, making it clear that they're with him no matter what. It was in that moment that Aerrow felt immense pride for his teammates. 

Aerrow: Let's do this. 

In that moment, Aerrow and the rest of the Storm Hawks ran into what was basically the lion's den. They were about to brave the Worldship, ready to fight hordes of Yuuzhan Vong warriors. Despite the overwhelming odds against them, the Storm Hawks would not back down. Inside Tsavong Lah's Worldship, the fate of the battle between the Atmosian Coalition and the Yuuzhan Vong would be decided.
