Star Wars Rebels 2

Chapter 7: Wings of the Master

A small fleet of the Alliance flew through hyperspace, the Ghost crew sat in the cockpit as one of the people under quarantine had contacted them, "The Empire has double our work quotas and doubles our rations, without your food drop... the weakest among us will starve." he tells them as he was losing hope, "Stay strong my friend. We'll be there soon." Kadan tells him as they drop out of Hyperspace. "You have our deepest gratitude, Phoenix squadron." the man states and they flew to the planet. "Our underground- network is standing by- at the drop zone-...." the man tries to tell them but the connection was cut off. "The transmission is being jammed!" Sabine warns them, Chopper grumbles, "They know we're here." Leo states. "Guess the Empire came out to welcome us." Hera agrees as two to three-star destroyers. "Attention Rebel convoy, this system is under Imperial control." Kallus states and steps forward. "Stand down or be destroyed." he orders; Mako rolls her eyes and leans against the door crossing her arms, "What a surprise. Agent Kallus." Zeb states as he rolls his eyes. "He just loves to hear the sound of his own voice, doesn't he?" Mako questions, Leto just huffs. "Well I'll give him this, he's persistent." Hera agrees with the two. "Phoenix leader, are your pilots ready?" Hera asks Cale. "Are ready as we'll ever be, Captain Sudullya," he answers her with a thumbs up. "All fighters, attack formation." he orders and the fighter broke off the main ship and charge into battle.

"Deploying fighters." the officers orders and Kallus nods his head and the Tie fighters flew out and greeted the Rebel fighters. "Just handle those ties Phoenix leader." Hera orders as she was ready. "We'll cover you Ghost, start your run." Cale states and they fired away. "Zeb! Bandit at 270!" Hera calls out, Zeb ran to the gunner chair as Leo took his spot. "I see him!" Zeb calls out and then fires, but misses. "Karabass!" Zeb snaps "Ezra! Coming in at point 3!" Hera calls out below as Mako was in his old spot. Ezra fires and fires the tie. "Kadan! Two marks at 185!" she calls out to him as Sabine was in an old chair, Kadan fires and hits one of the Ties. But the cannons on the star destroyers fired back at the rebels, "This is transport one, we're taking heavy fire!" the captain calls out. "Stay on course transport one!" Hera orders him. Then Mako stood up and leans out over Hera's chair and looks at the transport; "Concentrate all fire on that ship, that cargo will not get past us!" Kallus orders. Then the transport ship followed the Ghost as the star destroyer fired on the transport ship, "We've lost forward deflectors!" the captain informs her, "We're almost through!" Hera states. "Hera, the transport can't take any more damage!" Mako informs her, "We're almost there!" Hera insists.

But the ship was being destroyed, "We're not going to make it! We're not going to make it! Captain Sundylla!" the captain calls out, "No! NO!" Hera shouts and the fighters broke off. And the ship exploded, Hera looks at the ship in shock. "We lost the transport! We lost the transport!" phoenix two informs her as Mako places her hand on Hera's shoulder.

Hera makes a turn as the ties chase her and Phoenix said, "All ships! Abort! Abort!" she orders as they then retreated, but the ties didn't let up, "We have to get out of here!" Cale orders, but the ties fired on him and blew his fighter up, "We've lost Phoenix! They're cutting us to peace!" Phoenix 2 informs them, Leo and Mako's exchange looks. "Set heading 267. All ships jump now!" Hera orders.

The coordinates punched in and the remainder of Phoenix squad jumps to hyperspace and retreated back to the safe haven.

At Safe Haven, the Ghost was locked on the Command ship and both Hera and Kadan were in the war room. Discussing plan B. "We must finish this mission. If we try again without two remaining means of transport I know I can get a least one through." Hera discusses her plan. But Rex walks up to the war holo-table. "We don't have much time. The people of Ibar won't survive the rotation without our help." Kadan agrees with her. "I agree we must try, but our entire fleet is no match for that blockade." Commander Sato reminds them.
