Luke was lifting off when he heard again that voice, he was sure it was Ben's voice

"Luke, the Force will be with you"

He looked around and shook his head. Was he hearing things?

***************

Ines was outside watching the X-Wings leaving the base and took a deep breath.

Someone approached her

"Ma'am we got bad news" the man informed her what he just just got and Ines sighed. Leia was right. Now she didn't know who was in more danger: the pilots in the sky or they in the base. Thanking him, she head to the control room, meeting Leia on the way there

"Leia" she called her

Leia stopped as the sound of her name, seeing Ines running towards was. She knew a best friend way to well to see that she was not bringing the bests of news

"Ines. What is going on?"

"More bad news. The Death Star is approaching Yavin"

"I knew it." Leia sighed "Come on"

They head to the control room where they would see a map showing the Death Star approaching Yavin 4.

"Death Star approaching. Estimated time to firing range, 15 minutes"

They heard.

Ines looked at Leia

"If they don't hurry in there, we are dead"

"Look at the size of that thing" Antilles said in shock

They started to attack the Station while down in Base, they could hear the communications between the pilots.
