The Final Part II

I swerved a boulder the size of a hovercraft as it came hurtling towards my ship and at the same time let off a volley of shots at Jag. All of them impacted. Jag pushed his nose down and as soon as he did I saw why. A mass of asteroids was heading directly towards me. If I could get through them I would have the advantage over Jag, being above him and with more speed, but the only problem was that the clump looked imperturbable. There was little time to figure out a strategy so I did what I do best and flew straight into trouble.
On the way there I shut down all my screens and monitors. Sparkly squealed at me. “Yes, I know I shut them all down….
“Why? Because I know what I’m doing that’s why!”
There was no more time to argue as at that moment we hurtled into the middle of them.

The squadron outside of the simulators let out a collective gasp as they watched Jaina shot into the middle of a cluster of asteroids.
“Is she mad?” came a cry from the back of the group.
“No,” Gavin answered. “She’s a Jedi.”


The few minutes I spent in there was all a blur, I don’t remember much of it. I just knew that somewhere in the middle of it I dropped entirely into the Force and everything was just a matter of pushing my joystick in the right direction.
It was the same when I came out. I don’t remember getting on Jag’s tail or releasing the rocket and shots that brought his shields down to 30% and I don’t recall when I obtained the damage that brought my shields down to 35% either.
What I do remember is looping Jag and firing rockets that couldn’t miss. It was at that moment that I came out of the trance that I was in. Like I no longer needed to be at that level with it anymore.
I saw Jag’s ship release a few rockets before it exploded and before I had a chance to alter my course so I wouldn’t fly into them the stars flew towards me and the sounds of my engine disappeared.
“Sparky? Did you enable the hyperdrive?” Frantically I tried to bring my screens back down but I couldn’t. “Sparky? Sparky?” There was no answer. “Disengage hyperdrive! SPARKY!!”
