"Wait...really? You'll be coming here? Personally? That's such an honor! I'll make all the necessary preparations!" Bat yells and nods to a hologram.

"Very well. I look forward to finally being able to meet you in person, General Spacespawn." Bail Organa says smiling.

"It'll be such an honor to finally meet you after all this help you've been providing us." Bat tells him.

"Yes yes. Well we will be there shortly. I'll see you soon, General." Organs says and he and Bat nod to each other before the hologram disappears.

Bat looks around.

"Alert everyone." Bat orders some command staff and walks out.

A voice comes over the loud speaker and echoes through the base informing everyone to move to their positions. Just 2 months earlier, Bat Squadron rescued members from a rebel cell on Er'Kit by the name of Gryphon Squadron. The General of Gryphon Squadron, General Hot, as he was known by was killed during the battle that followed. Several Gryphon Squadron members join Bat Squadron including several old friends from the clone war including Brains, Cadinone, and Randmu. Bat walks around as soldiers and other staff run around frantically.

"Move move! Move all the ships you can into the hangars! Move the speeders into the streets and out of the way! Move the tanks and what speeders you have to into the caves with a few squads! Make sure your uniforms are looking as best as they can! The General wants 8 pilots in Y-wings to fly overhead with fireworks in celebration of the senator's arrival! We want another 4 A-wings to guide him in! Move it!" Cadinone barks.

"Great work Cadinone. I cannot express how glad I am to have you back with us." Bat tells him and pats him on the shoulder.

"Yes sir." The Kel Dor says.

"Bat, may I fly one of the Y-wings on my own please?" Wesley asks Bat running over.

Bat looks at him then hesitates before he finally answers.

"Yes...yes you may." Bat tells him.

"Yes?! Oh thank you so much! I won't let you down!" Wesley yells and runs off toward the hangar.

Bat turns toward Four and Diro as they walk over carrying their pilots helmets.

"Keep an eye on him." Bat says.

"Will do." Diro says.

"Don't worry." Four hisses.

Abo and Torn-Ek were flying 2 A-wings along with Xan and Derma accompanying them. Four, Diro, Wesley, Breedone, Rune, Grizz, Ted, and Stormer were flying the Y-wings with the fireworks.

"Here we go." Ted says as the 8 Y-wings take off.

"Everyone just stay on me." Four orders.

"Hey kid." Breedone tells Ted.

"Yeah?" He asks.

"Just follow me and you'll be fine." The Rodian tells him.

"Thank you." Ted says.

Bat walked to the open landing pad and stood there in his nice republic officer uniform with Chip in his. Fernanda stood beside Chip with Mute behind her and Ian to her side. They looked up at the sky and waited. The Pau'an governor stood beside Bat with the B1 droid commander with him and he nods to Bat. The soldiers and droids stood with their weapons to their chests or by their sides at attention. They look up at the sky and watch as a CR90 Corellian Corvette flies down toward the planet past the Venator cruiser. The 4 A-wings fly out toward it and guide it down toward the sinkhole where Pau City was located. The 8 Y-wings fly over the hole and launch their fireworks as the ship touches down on the landing pad and the boarding ramp touches down. A older looking man steps out accompanied by 5 soldiers.
