It's the year 22 ABY and the galaxy is plunged into chaotic Clone Wars. After the first battle of Geonosis, the Jedi Order embarked on a bloody fight that would test their principles of keeping peace in the Galaxy. The Jedi, once defenders of peace...
Roy: - Yiiiiiijaaaaa! See you at the finish line, old man! -
Pablo: - Conceited dwarf. -
Once the 194th Battalion's fighters and bombers were deployed over Ryloth's orbital space, it did not take long for the large swarm of Separatist Vulture droids to descend upon them like locusts upon their prey. The Separatist blockade had been bypassed by the northern region of the planet, a place that generals Obi'Wan and Mace Windu took advantage of to enter and establish a control point on dry land. But there was still an entire Separatist fleet that had to be neutralized.
Roy was not a good pilot, he was extremely good. With hundreds of cybernetic modifications at his disposal, connecting directly to his fighter like any astromech droid would not be a problem at all. He could pilot the ship as a simple extension of his own body, to the point that the poor R5 droid that assisted him did not know whether to help him pilot the ship or stay out of the way so as not to hinder him. But hey, at least power control and weapon calibration was something I could do without problems.
The young Padawan may have been light years away from being able to compare himself with the chosen one of the force, but without a doubt he was the best pilot in the 194th Army Corps, to the point that General Pablo no longer insisted on him remaining in the group.
Fighting alone in an air or space battle is prohibited in every war manual written throughout history. It is enough for an enemy fighter to land on your tail for your life to be in danger but... Who would be able to reach the young lieutenant in his unbridled combat while he shot down dozens of droids in a matter of minutes. Well, there was only one reckless enough for that.
Roy was targeting a vulture fighter, the next on his long list of kills, when blasters coming from another direction shot down the droid before it could even pull the trigger. By the time he saw his companion, he was gently standing next to him.
Roy: - That was my target. What happen? Did you miss me? -

Collin: - Not really. But the general ordered me to keep an eye on you. He doesn't want you to do anything else stupid. - He said while placing his V-19 fighter next to Roy's.
Roy: - You know I can't promise. -
Collin: - ¨What a surprise.¨ - He said mockingly. - The general has given us freedom to act. What are your orders, Lieutenant? -
Roy: - Follow me sergeant. There are a lot of tins to break down. -
The sergeant of the jetpack infiltration company was a very good pilot, enough to not lose sight of his lieutenant, who seemed to have no fear of the swarm of Vultures that were pounced on them. If anyone were counting, Roy would already have killed fifty enemies, and the count was just beginning.
Roy: - Follow me sergeant. We'll go somewhere else. -
Collin: - We shouldn't stay away from our cruises. The rest of the fleet could fire on us without knowing if we are enemy allies. -
