The group hides behind ancient pillars. 2 stormtroopers are standing guard. Kikks makes a slit motion to Scar. Scar cloaks and slits the 2'troopers throats. He decloaks and gives a thumbs up. The group moves into a hanger titled; "The Hall of Ships". They run up to a specific freighter. Kikks sees the ship and a rush of memories rush back to him.
"The Millennium Falcon." Jake said
"Never thought I'd see it in person." Mal said
"We're here to bust her out of retirement, and put her in service for the New Rebellion." Jake said
"Captain, you good?" Stark asked
"I'm fine, get inside the Falcon . I'm gonna go keep a look out." Kikks responds
Bandage punches Stark in the shoulder.
"What I do?" Stark says
"You moron, it's the anniversary of his brother's and squad's death." Bandage says
Kikks walks toward the entrance of the exhibit, but notices; "The Old Republic" exhibit. He passes many historical heroes and villains. He passes a Darth Malak statue. He then notices the Revan exhibit area. He walks up to it and presses a button on a board.
"Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. Revan was all these things and more. A hero of the Mandolorian Wars. He and his apprentice Malak chased the Mandolorians into the Unknown Regions. They left as heroes, but returned as villains. Back with a new fleet sith fleet, Revan nearly brought the republic to its knee..."
Kikks looks at the mannequin. A near identical version of Revan. He knocks it over in anger and leaves. Back on the Falcon.
"Ok, lets power up this old tin can." Jake says
Jake pulls a lever on the Falcon and the ship sputters to life. Kikks stands at the entrance of the main entrance. The door begins to open and battalion of New Imperial Stormtroopers march toward Kikks. The group looks up from the cockpit to see red blaster bolts hit the wall, and a stressed Kikks frantically firing his blaster behind him.
"Start the ship!" Kikks yells
Kikks gets runs up the boarding ramp and the ship takes off.
"Everyone buckle up. It's gonna get bumpy." Jake says
Kikks climbs into the bottom turret of the Falcon. He aims the turret at the hanger door and blasts it open. The Falcon glides past the New Imperial fleet. Kikks shoots the trailing TIE fighters and the Falcon escapes into hyperspace.
