"This is becoming tiresome," Hatori mumbled, he closed his eyes as the Longsword was jarred free of the tractor beam focusing on the force, reaching out to the debris from the destroyed vessels near by and using them to further shield the Longsword from the tractor beam as it Maneuvered around. If nothing else it would make targeting the ship all the more difficult and buy the time they would need to make their approach.

Somehow the longsword defied all logic and dodged the invisible tractor beams, survived destruction from multiple heavy turbolaser hits even though the closer they got the easier it was to target them. When they got close enough Rita silenced the main guns but cut power to the main engines and fed it through to the maneuvering thrusters an increased it's rate of spin.
With the guns silenced, Jor and Drake were clear to move in. The arc the Longsword had to maintain to move around the star destroyer was a wide one but still significant, so while the pilot of the longsword had to fight Newtons laws, the smaller, lighter clawcraft had less of a problem.
Jor fell in behind the longsward on it's port quarter and high on the Z axis. He kept an eye on the automated rear turret. "Drake, if the turret starts shooting at me, you take the shot on the Longsword. If it's starts shooting at you then i'll take the shot."

Ash began to feel real awefull riding around on the outside of the longsword, so he locked down his armor and fully magnitised it to the longsword. He closed his eyes and forced himself to relax and sleep. He would wake himself when they were safe and his body wouldn't flail around. He opened up his little meld with karite again.
Get us in there, please. Your driving is killing me, and wake me when we get in there. [/sub]

Elifain thought through his chances, and finally found something he thought would work. He waited until the ship started firing on him, and activated his ships missile compliment. He gunned his longsword maximum burn straight forward, and back on the path that karite and hatori had gone. TRY TO CATCH ME NOW DIRTBAG! He yelled to himself. It was a low chance of accomplishing this, but it might work. He noticed the ship start turning, putting its hanger towards him, in what he figured would be an attempt by it to get away from karite, and flew straight towards the hanger, sparing only a few seconds to shoot one missile to the hanger shield generator.

Drake followed behind Jor going to the other side of the Longsword "Whoo now this is more like it" he said getting his targeted system ready to fire on the ship he was also ready to dodge fire from that oversized peice of shit cannon they had on the back of that thing. "Roger that Jor, lets just hope...well whatever lets get in there and kick their asses, I'm tired of looking at that ship" Drake replied ready to take his first shot on the thing.

Karite piloting along the hull of Jor's fancy ship. "We need a new way in..... we'll try one of their repair hatches." said Karite as he piloted his Longsword to the closest repair hatch he could find slowing down so Hatori could make a jump. Meanwhile his dorsal turret began to fire upon Jor's fighter. "Jump now!" said Karite Just before he used the force to open the hatch behind him unloading the mines of the Longsword. With Jor and Drake on his ass they'd find it hard pressed to get through mines and a double turret on the dorsal that was shooting at Jor.

Hatori stood up as the Star Destroyer let down its assault, heading straight for the Longsword's hatch, "Seems we'll have to go about this the hard way," Hatori waited for Karite to move the Longsword into position before opening the hatch. The vaccuum sucked Hatori out, he had little time to get his bearings straight, slowing down his velocity with the force and aiming himself at one of the Star Destroyers repair hatches before blasting through its cover and sliding in.

The 2 venators listed badly, as they 40some torpedo's hit them, but kept to their duty, firing their long range DBY turbolasers aimed for the Munificents, meaning 4 lasers each. They also fired their turbolasers in the general direction. The lysander, behind its shields however, took a beating, as the ion cannon rounds tore into her shields. The ship took even more damage as the next salvo of turbolasers came in. Get us out of the fire! The captain yelled, as the ship started listing. They quick fired all available torpedo's towards the ships firing at them. The 10 longswords, as the enemy fighters fired upon them, retaliated with a few quick bursts of their fast recharge turrets, but as the misiles came, kicked their sticks straight up, and unloaded a few of their mines, to get in the way of the missiles, while firing with the rear defense turret. They gunned their way towards the Maw clusters ships, depending on the distraction ccaused by the mines.

If Ash didn't feel the shift of the longsword, he wouldn't have woken up. It was only then that he he felt them slowing down: The pressure was lessened on him. Never again would he hitch a ride on a fighter.
Using the force to augment his limbs, Ash kicked himself around the longsword, using a piece of metal to bounce back towards the access hatch Hatori just went through. Now, Where was Elifain.
Karite, never again are you driving, you maniac.
Ash unpolarised his helmet as he knelt down. After a heartbeat, he removed his helmet, taking a breath of fresh air. His hair was matted with sweat, but at least he was alive. A smile was on his face.
Next time, I'm getting my own ride, something better and faster than that stuttle. [/sub]

Angel watched as the enemy capital ships struggled in the attack. She also noted that her ships were getting hit pretty heavily from the turbolasers. She ordered them to transfer power from engines to shields and moved the ten Lancers up to them to provide additional PDS which easily shot down the missile that were launched at it while the four StringerSwarms launched a second torpedo and assault concussion missile attack against the two ships, once again empting all the launchers. At the same time the Raptor class corvettes launched a volley of missile from there fast launching torpedo tube in the nose of the craft at the bridge as the peppered the hull with turbolaser fire. At the same time the ten cutter class corvette came in directly from behind and using all there firepower shot into the engines of the deep space cruiser. Meanwhile the mines caused the XJ3 to break off their attack again the gunships, but they were instructed not to pursue. They were ordered to reform with the Y-35s and then make their way around the mines and head back to the Basestar This is because the Nimitz was moving to towards the Basestar at flank speed and once in range open up a flak barrage against the enemy gunships along with the Enterprise flak cannons. The missile boats on the meanwhile waited above the Basestar ready to engage any gunship which survived the cloud of flak.

Jor watched the mines pass under him and sighed. "thats why we're high on the Z axis." he said more to himself. His danger sense told him something was up though and he looked ahead just in time to see the turret fire. He hauled hard on the stick and brought the fighter hard up and left then down again. A laser bolt splashed against the shields on his aft quarter and he saw the shield energy drain to a third.
"take it Drake" Jor shouted. He closed his eyes and stretched out his feelings. One had already abandoned the ship and was at the hull of the Saucy Mare. Already he was thinking of external docking collars he could mate his fighter too. The other advantage of the ball cockpit was the round hatch which fit mist collars.
A laser bolt flew up between his fighters "claws" which made him cut throttle, nose up slightly, kick the throttle forward to accelerate faster then the longsword then cut throttle completely and nose down towards the longsword into a slide.
His laser cannons fired as fast as they could cycle and laced the top of the longsword. as he fired, he reflected though. If the super powerful main battery of a Star destroyer can't ding the finder on this thing, then what could his pee shooters do. So instead of aiming for the ship, he put his cross hairs right over the little man attached to the side of the ship.

In order to keep his lungs from popping Hatori had to let all the air out before he made his jump. The aid of the force, calming and slowing his heart rate bought him some time, but still little at this rate. After sliding down the hatch Hatori quickly pressed the hilt of his lightsaber to one of the walls and ignited it, slicing a hole in which he quickly passed through against the out rushing air. The pressure doors in the room he'd sliced through were quickly closing up and Hatori had to do a quick running slide to make it under the last one in time.
As he lay on the floor gasping for air he muttered to himself, "More trouble then it's worth..." Hatori stood up and wrapped his robes tight around his body, concealing his arms and the lower part of his face.
The force led Hatori into the training room, but the only people inside were a young lady and a droid, "Thin crowd today," Hatori commented, having a look around the room, "I apologize for all the trouble, my Mandalorian friends simply have no manners," Hatori said, finally training his eyes on Genie, "What's your name, dear?"

Ash was glad he knew how these fighters worked. Their extra maneuverability came from small thrusters, and that was a major fault in them. Ash reached out with the force, and let extra fuel into one of the thrusters. To bad he was gone before he could watch the craft spin off.
Ash landed surprisingly quietly for being in his armor. He had a sword out, but stashed it when he saw only Genie and her droid. Ash knelt down, removing his helmet and taking a breath of the fresh air. He couldn't look at Genie, but he did speek quietly.
Genie, please don't be scared. They wont hurt you.
Though she was the 'daughter' of Jor, his enemy, he hepled saved her life, and couldn't hurt her. He now thought Hatori of being an overzelous person, accusing Ash of being rude. He was the one keeping everything off their backs. Slowly, Ash stood, looking at Genie, his gray eyes soft. [/sub]

Karite looked above as he saw a fighter pull an impressive manuver his ship wasn't capable of outmanuvering. "Time to opt out." said Karite as he hit the shutdown button for his Longsword which had already taken quite the beating he was surprised it was still holding together from a few heavy turolaser beatings. The sheild was nearly fried to hell, and now he just pulled the hatch. Better a captive alive, then a captive dead. Besides who knew, maybe it wouln't be so bad. He blasted out into space through an ejecting roof and waited to see what would happen with the Magcon field protecting him from the deadly vacuum of space.

OOC: wtf? Ash just jumped off the longsword and somehow landed several decks down and a few hundred frames in? Does your armor allow you to phase through solid metal Ash?
The YVH droid continued it's scan of the room until Hatori walked in. Then it's dull glowing red eyes locked onto him. He listened to the man speak and recorded it in long term memory before speaking himself. "You are in a restricted zone and your image does not match that of any member of this vessels crew."
His hand came down and pushed Genie behind him. She stayed close and clutched the droids leg. Bubbles saved an image of the man and accessed the ships log.
Rita detected the query and recognized it instantly. She connected to Bubbles directly and fed him a line of command code. Bubbles looked away from Hatori back towards the door. He knelt down and dropped his left arm to the ground. Genie sat on it and the droid picked her up, hefting her weight easily.
"Come Genie. Rita wants to continue your lessons in cargo bay 4." He said as he began walking out.
Outside Jor pulled his fighter around and saw the ejection seat flare and go off and he saw Ash leap from the doomed longsword toward the Saucy Mare. "Mare, this is Tin Man. We've got one EVA and one taking a walk on your hull. I'm headed inside, do me a favor and unlock external hatch, port side at frame 655."
Rita's voice came back over the com. "it's done. Be advised Tin Man, intruders are already on board. One is in the training area with Genie. I'm having the YVH move her to cargo bay 4."
"Alright that works out just fine thats near 655." Jor said. "Drake, i'm headed inside. Rita, grab the EVA and bring him inside."
He hauled his fighter around and headed up the length of the ship where there was an external docking collar. he inverted his fighter and thrusted into it. the seal locked and hissed as it pressurized.
He opened his hatch and sorta fell into the ship, hitting on his shoulders and landing on his back. "ouch. thats a lot more difficult without help."
