It was supposed to be a harmless mission—just talk to the locals about staying with the Republic and not defecting to the First Order. It was supposed to be a diplomatic mission to a rural planet. It was supposed to be the perfect, risk-free mission for Ben to cut his teeth on.
But they were wrong. They were all wrong.
Luke and Ben's X-wings exited hyperspace in combat spread position.
Ben held the defender position, 500 meters below and 1.5 kilometers to the left of Luke as they exited hyperspace. Scanners read clear as they entered the exosphere of Apathaska on the night side of the planet.
As they descended to the troposphere, four TIE fighters raced behind them. R2-D2 picked them up on his scanners first, beeping wildly at Luke. "I know, Artoo, I see them," Luke said, tensed. "Ben, we've got company. About 10 kilometers out, 4 marks at 26 decimal 15."
Ben looked at his scopes. "My scopes don't show anything."
"Turn on your visual tracking. Here they come." Luke held his stick steady, his eyes scanning to either side. "On my mark, break right. Three, two, one, break."
Ben banked into a hard right, crossing the path of two of his attackers.
Luke pulled a defensive split, heading left.
Luke swooped his craft around, lining his up with Ben to come into a wedge on one of the their attackers. They jinked left and right to keep the other TIEs off them, green lasers spitting past their cockpits.
Ben broke hard right again, drawing the attacker onto his tail. Luke dropped in behind the TIE and took fired. His shot landed squarely in the center of the fighter and blew it to pieces. He flew through the explosion and cheered. One down.
Ben raced his X-wing into a dive and pulled back up in a yo-yo maneuver, coming in behind another TIE. His blast took out a solar panel, sending the TIE spinning to the ground in a burst of fire. Two down.
Meanwhile, Luke had pulled to the left in a lag displacement roll, pulling his attacker in a looped barrel roll.
The TIE overshot as he fired, green laser bolts swallowed by the atmosphere. Two more TIEs entered the battle.
These two TIEs picked up Ben. Luke raced to intercept, drawing the left TIE into a vertical rolling scissor formation.
Ben pulled into a High-G barrel roll, straining his stomach and his oxygen levels. His R2 unit instantly pumped more oxygen into the cockpit as the pressure changed. He completed the maneuver by forcing the nose of his craft to center and pulled up behind his attacker to take him out.
Luke's rolling scissor nearly ended in a collision with his TIE, but he was able to pull out in time and eliminate it. Four down.
Two TIEs remained. Luke and Ben maneuvered back into combat spread as the two craft approached them head-on.
