Star Wars: Blackhole/Chapter 2

After long hours of work without break, the squad was tired and spent the next two days sleeping at the barracks block. Troopers of the other units often teased them in the corridors of the work they had to do to the engines. Prescott and Terrence rested less than the others but still were full of energy. They were on their way to one of the detention blocks for guard duty when the ship suddenly shook violently.


 * "I heard this clone trooper named Beater took down an entire Rebel battalion by himself on Agmar." said Terrence.


 * "What?" asked Prescott.


 * "Yeah. The Rebels attacked the planet trying to capture the construction factories on it but Beater and the 2nd Battalion were there and prevented it. He was one of the two survivors." said Terrence. "The other tro-"

He was cut off when the ship violently jerked again, and this time they could hear blaster fire and explosions outside the ship. The two raced to a nearby control computer in front of a window and looked outside. Rebel ships enclosed at their ship.


 * "Looks like a battle." Terrence says.

The two raced up to the bridge, after enduring more violent explosions, and found Marcel. Terrence questioned him.


 * "What's happening?" asked Terrence.


 * "The retreating Rebel forces from Agmar are attacking us. This should be easy, especially now that a small superlaser was installed at the front of the ship." said Marcel. Noticing their shock, he explained. "Well, a superlaser was installed after the Navy Command thought that all ships in the Navy should be more heavily armed."


 * "Oh." replied Terrence.


 * "Now, if you want to make yourselves useful, head down to Junction TX75 and turn on more power to the superlaser." ordered Marcel. He looked at a nearby Lieutenant. "Lieutenant Torrent, go with them to the junction."

The three headed off to the junction, and Prescott wondered about Torrent.


 * "Why did he make you go with us, Lieutenant?" Prescott questioned.


 * "I'm an Imperial gunner so I know how to turn the power back on properly." answered Torrent.


 * "Oh yeah, neither of us knew how to pull a switch." mocked Terrence.


 * "Calm down for once." said Prescott.

They finally arrived at the junction. There control panels on both walls, and one had a switch on it. The other had an outlet with an assassin droid plugged into it. Torrent walked up to the droid.


 * "Here's the problem. Some droid rerouted half the power of the system." said Torrent as he tore the droid off the outlet. "Now one of you pull the switch."

Terrence did it. There's not much to tell of what happened afterwards. Seconds later, the laser fired and destroyed the capitol ship, a Mon Calamari Cruiser, which was instantly destroyed.
