Star Wars: Storm Hawks Episode I

Chapter Ten - Capture

In the space of Nar Shaddaa, an Imperial Star Destroyer arrives. On the bridge, Dark Ace along with Repton walk up to X1.

Dark Ace: Are the Death Troopers ready?

X1: Yes sir. The Death Troopers await your command. 

Dark Ace: Repton. Have your Raptor Clan take positions. When I give the signal, attack. X1, create a perimeter around the system. Nothing goes in. Nothing goes out.

X1: As you wish. 

Repton then made his way to his ship to take his Raptor Clan to their positions. Dark Ace then took a battalion of Death Troopers and boarded a shuttle on route to Nar Shaddaa. Meanwhile at the facility, Billy Rex and Suzy Lu help Finn, Junko and Stork repair the Condor. 

Finn: HEY! What are you doing?! Are you trying to blow up my ship?!

Billy Rex: What are you talking about?!

Finn the walks over to where Billy Rex was. 

Finn: This one goes there! That one goes there! Where did you find this kid Suzy?! 

Suzy Lu: Lay off him! He's done some pretty good work for this operation! He's a fast learner! Unlike someone I know.....

Finn: Haha! Very funny! I'll believe that when I see it! STORK! How's the engine?!

Stork then revs up the engine. The sudden movement of the Condor scared Finn to the point of him nearly falling off. 

Stork: Engine looks good to me.

Suzy Lu, Billy Rex and Junko all burst into loud laughter. Finn was annoyed at this. Meanwhile, Starling was training Piper in lightsaber combat.

Starling: Not bad. Did Kota teach you that trick?

Piper: He did!

Piper then swung her lightsaber, but Starling dodged the attack and kicked the lightsaber out of her hand. Before Piper could react, Starling kicked her to the ground and aimed her lightsaber down at her.

Starling: You leave yourself open to attack. 

Starling then deactivated her lightsaber and helped Piper up. As Starling and Piper continued training, Aerrow was watching the training going down. As he does so, he can't seem to keep his eyes off Piper. As he watched her, Aerrow got lost in her beauty. As he's lost in thought, X2 catches his attention.

X2: Am I interrupting something kid?

Aerrow: N....no. 

X2 knew that something was on his mind. He knew this because he felt the same way with Starling back in the Clone Wars.

X2: I know that look kid. You like that girl.

Aerrow tried very hard to hid his blushing face from the Clone Trooper, but he couldn't.

Aerrow: It's....it's not like that! Sure she's nice, kind, beautiful and everything in between, but she's a Jedi and I'm a soldier! 

X2: Didn't stop me with Starling. And I was just a Clone in an army of Clones.

Aerrow: Would she even be interested in someone like me? 

X2: You never know unless you try. Life's too short to hesitate. Especially in times like these.

Aerrow knew X2 was right. Aerrow had fallen for the young Jedi. Despite being a skilled soldier, the Rebel soldier was very much unsure about how to deal with his feelings for Piper. As Aerrow was lost in thought, X2 noticed his rifle.
