Bat Squadron: Season 4

Episode 3

2BBY
Utapau

The interdictor was almost straight up and down. The crew was being tossed around and started to panic.

"We're losing altitude! Quickly!" An office yells to the Commander.

"Grand Admiral! The interdictor is going down...we don't know how...." the officer tells Thrawn.

"Interesting. It's almost as if it's being pulled down to the planet...." Thrawn says.

The rebels were starting to cheer as they continue to engage the imperials.

"We've got an opening!" Mawn yells to the ground crews on the landing pads and hangars.

"Nows our chance!" A Pau'an soldier yells as he runs into a transport that was preparing to take off.

"Transport 245, transport 386, transport 907, transport 880, you are clear. Have a safe trip." A flight crew member tells the pilots.

They were lifting out of the hangar and heading out.

"Bat 5, 7, 9, 10, accompany them away." Bat orders Sin, Rune, Cadinone, and Randmu.

"But sir..." Rune says.

"That's an order." Bat tells him.

"Yes sir." Rune says.

The transports were exiting Utapau and were preparing to blast into hyperspace.

"Sir! Those transports are about to leave!" The Officer tells Thrawn.

"Stop, them." Thrawn orders.

Tie bombers and interceptors were focused on the transports and were flying over.

"We'll see you on the other side." Randmu tells the others as the first transport blasts off and other 3 follow.

"Hell yes!" Xan yells from his cockpit.

"The first transports are away!" Mawn yells.

"Keep fighting! We need to buy more time!" Cobalt 12 yells to a Hornet Squadron Pilot who's Y-wing was trailing smoke.

"I've picked one uuuuuuppp!" Hornet 3 screams as he does his best to avoid fire from Commander Skerris.

"Watch out!" Cobalt 12 yells and flies toward him.

Cobalt 12's X-wing flies into the line of fire of Skerris and Hornet 3 looks back and gasps in shock after watching the pilot sacrifice himself for him. Hornet 3 pulls away and so did Skerris.

"PULLLLL!" Bat yells to the rest of the Jedi on the planet as they almost had the interdictor down to the planet.

"It's almost there!" Tallos yells.

"ACCCKK!" Baz grunts as he uses all his strength.

The tip of the interdictor finally hits the ground and it drags along as it digs up the ground before it'll finally skid to a halt. The Jedi let go and they allow the rear of the ship to smash into the ground. The surviving imperial crew was small but was planning to exit the ship soon.

"Hey Price!" Bat yells to a Captain who was walking around helping troops get set up for a ground defense.

"What's up boss?" The captain asks.

"I want you to take a team to the plains out there and search the interdictor for survivors." Bat says.

"Why though? Just leave them to the natives." Price says.

"We could have some leverage." Bat says.

"We don't have much room for prisoners." Price tells him.
