	Pump stopped screaming and opened his eyes; he could see the black of space. He shouted "Yes!"; his hyperdrive had kicked in just in time for him to escape the two TIE's. Now, he was headed to Coruscant with only one engine; hopefully that wouldn't be giving him problems later on as he tried to land. Meanwhile... "Did Pump make it?" asked Silly as he blasted another TIE. "I don't know. Couldn't tell from this angle," said Cal, gritting his teeth. "Cut the chatter," said Coyote Leader over the comlink. "Watch for enemy fighters that are trying to tail you." "I got one on my tail!" said Turk, weaving his fighter around in a serpentine pattern, sweat running down his face. "He's gaining on me." "Use your speed advantage, Turk," advised Cal. Before Turk could react, the Interceptor on his tail fired a series of shots, two of which nailed Turk's ship. "I've lost my booster engines; now I've lost my advantage." "Don't worry, I'll get 'em." Sure enough, Cal's fighter appeared and, while Turk dived out of the way, blasted the bewildered Interceptor into a fireball. "Thanks Cal," said Turk as he turned his fighter around. From what he could see, there were still some pesky Interceptors buzzing around the battlefield, trying to get a few potshots in on Coyote Squadron. "Burk?" asked Turk. "Yeah?" replied the Er'Kit A-Wing pilot. "We have to take out those Interceptors. However, I've lost my speed advantage, so I won't be as much of a help as I would like to be." "Copy that, Turk," replied Burks as his fighter dipped towards the clustered TIE's. From his viewport, Turk could see Burk's fighter setting one TIE on fire, wich spun out of control until it exploded on contact with a battleship. Another few shots, and a TIE bit the dust, its explosion stripping a solar panel off a TIE Interceptor unlucky enough to be caught in the blast. "Two for one!" shouted Burk as he began to pursue another Interceptor. "Coyote 3," said Matt, watching Burk's progress. "Make sure that you steer clear of those battleships. We can't afford to lose you." "I'll be careful," said Burk as he started firing upon the Interceptor. The TIE pilot started to weave, trying to dissaude Burk from coming closer. "What's he up to?" thought Burk as he fired again with his twin blaster cannons. Again, his shots missed the dodging Interceptor. "What the?" asked Silly, watching the chase. "Let him go," instructed Matt. "Why?" asked Burk, wondering why Matt had told him to abort the chase. "You've damaged his frontal drive system. He'll have lost control by now, and will at some point spin out of control and crash." "How do you know that?" asked Silly, wondering how Coyote Leader knew what was going on. "Watch." Sure enough, the Interceptor started spinning, the pilot yanking fruitlessly on the yoke, trying to gain control of his fighter. It spun and spun until colliding with another TIE fighter. "See, I told you." "Amazing..." breathed Burk as he dodged a laser burst and shot up another TIE. -----signature----- Blue and yellow make a green lightsaber. How do you get red out of blue?

	"Coyote Leader, how do you always know what's going to occur?" Cal asked that amazedly, wanting to know why the squadron leader knew what was going to happen before it occured. "Simple. The TIE design...wait, I've got one on my tail. I'll take this guy out." He spiraled his ship in a sharp descent, but the TIE fighter followed his crazy manuever. Quickly, before the enmy could react, Matt twisted his ship around and, at an angle, fired on the bewildered TIE. It exploded, and Coyote Leader's B-Wing flew through the wreckage. "Should we wait until we get back to base for me to tell you?" "Nah," said Burk, watching the battle from afar. "If you could, tell us now." "Well, the TIE design is simple. As you should already know, they are built to attack in swarms, meaning that individual members are not as important as the whole group. If you can grasp the meaning of "suicide", then that sums up the average TIE grunt in a nutshell. They will fight until killed, and are going for the collective destruction of the enemy. Although TIE's have a frontal drive system, it doesn't mean that it's hard to find and exploit; if you can successfully hit it, then the fighter will spin out of control and crash." "So," Burk concluded, "I hit the Interceptor's frontal drive system, causing the systems to fail and the ship to crash, correct?" "Correct, Burk. Now, let's finish this fight." Coyote Leader's B-Wing sped off, tracking a pair of TIE's. Burk swiveled his A-Wing around, noticing a nearby battleship. It's build was bulky; obviously it could hold a lot of cargo or troops. Kind of like a Star Destroyer, but without the familiar wedge-shape. Knowing that what he could be doing would most likely end disasterously for him, he went off to take out some of the guns. As he neared, a few of the guns were repositioned to fire at his fighter, but he dodged these bursts with a descending barrel roll. As he cut across the surface of the ship, he used his twin blaster cannons to cause a little bit of damage. Burk knew that the cannons wouldn't do much harm to the ship, but maybe he could distract their fire from the main fray. Noticing a turbolaser port, Burk slowed down and waited for the gun to fire. As soon as it did, he moved his fighter right in front of the turbolaser. The crews inside watched as Burk sucked in a deep breath. Squeezing the trigger, he let go a pair of concussion missiles. Hightailing it out of there, Burk could see flames erupt from the turbolaser port. Right then, Cal cut in on the comlink. "Nice job, Coyote 3," he said. "Wow, you did a lot of damage there, Burk." "I only took out a turbolaser or two," replied Burk plainly. He had not looked back to see what Cal was talking about. "No, I'm serious, man! You've destroyed the ship! Or, at least most of their gun deck." Turning around, Burk could see what Cal was talking about. The turbolaser port he had fired into was now consumed in a fireball, with many other ports being eaten by the vicious flames. "How?" asked Burk, watching the carnage unfold. "You must have hit a reactor or something," answered Cal, wondering why Burk's missiles had caused so much damage. "Who knows? Anyway, I think we'd better get moving." "Why?" asked Cal. "It's gonna blow!" screamed Burk as he sped away from the crippled battleship. Suddenly, fires burst out all over the length of the ship. On fire and out of control, the ship slowly lumbered towards another battleship. Battleship "Sir, there's one of ours coming near us. It's on fire!" "Damn!" shouted the bridge captain. "Evasive action!" Klaxons blared as the crews attempted to evade the out-of-control battleship, but it was coming too fast. They could not dodge it; they were sitting ducks. Outside Burk watched as the uncontroled battleship collided violently with the other ship, sending both into a raging inferno and fireball. The glare of the fire was so bright that his flight goggles could not contain all of it. Looking away, Burk could see numerous colors running in front of his eyes. "Woo-hoo!" shouted Cal as he sped away to engage more TIE's. "Excellent, Coyote 3," said Coyote Leader, who had stopped long enough to see the collision. "That'll be the backbreaker for them." Looking at the other battleships, he said "All right. Now, we will move this fight to the ships. Knock out their shields, and let 'em have it!" Quickly, the fighters of Coyote Squadron dove toards the remaining battleships, firing their lasers at the shield generators. Silly, followed by two TIE fighters, went sideways through a small slit between two pillars. The pursuing TIE's, however, could not adjust and were destroyed when they hit the walls. Flying by the shield generators, Silly released a barrage of laser fire, destroying the generator in a magnificent display. Without shields, the battleship would be vulnerable to attack from the Coyotes. They were finally in control. -----signature----- Blue and yellow make a green lightsaber.

	"Coyote Squadron, concentrate your fire on the command deck." said Coyote Leader, ready to strike a heavy blow to the enemy. Silly went first, blasting up a turret and causing some damage. Then, Burk launched another pair of concussion missiles, damaging the command deck. Inside, the deck spewed with a light-colored vapor, caused by split pipes. Stock blasted away at the deck, causing many occupants to fall over. "Almost there," grunted Cal as he started his attack run. Dodging the turrets, he flew right in front of the command deck. Inside, he could see enemies staring out the front viewports at his fighter. He grinned and squeezed the trigger. However, instead of firing at the command deck, he lowered his fighter so that his proton torpedoes hit below the deck. A small fire broke out, and soon all of those on the deck would be trapped by the flames. "That oughta do it," said Cal as he sped away down the side of the ship. "Leave it," instructed Coyote Leader. "We still have TIE's to take out, if you remember." "This is Coyote 4," say Ray Raysen, "I've got one on me, and I can't see him!" "Watch out for his lasers!" instructed Cal. "I can't outmanuever him!" shouted Ray. "He's got a lock on my position!" "Just flip over," said Cal. Ray's fighter flipped in midair, confusing the TIE pilot. Turning around, Ray blasted away at the fighter with his quad laser cannons. The TIE was consumed by a small fireball, and Ray flew right through the wreckage. "See, that wasn't so hard," said Cal. "No, that wasn't hard at all," Ray repeated as he engaged another TIE. "Squadron, we can end this space battle right now," said Coyote Leader. "Draw all of the TIE's into the same area." "What for?" asked Burk, wondering what Coyote Leader had in mind. "You'll see," Coyote Leader continued. "Just do it." "OK, I see one now," replied Cal as he zoomed down to chase a TIE into the designated area. Matt sat there, waiting for his squadron to bring in the TIE's like sheperds with sheep. They are a good group, he thought, and they should be proud of what they've accomplished so far. He waited and waited for his group to gather all of the TIE's, but it took a while for each pilot to chase several TIE's and be able tosee the enemies at all times. "All right, Coyote Leader, said Cal, trailing behind four TIE's, "you've got them. What are you going to do?" "Move!" yelled Coyote Leader. Contemplating what their squadron leader had just said, the Coyotes backed away. Coyote Leader pulled out his special ordinance controller, launching several weapons. The sonic charges zoomed towards the gathered TIE's. When the charges exploded, a low rumble could be clearly heard as a blue energy wave spread out from the charge canister. In a heartbeat, all of the TIE's had been destroyed, and the field moved closer to the battleships. Battleship "Sonic charge!" screamed a deck officer, but it was too late for anyone to react. Outside The coyotes watched as the sonic charges cut the battleships in half, leaving the halves to float in the vacuum of space. "We did it!" shouted Burk, his hands raised above his head in excitement. "Good shooting, sir!" added Cal, grinning. "A fine days' work, Coyote Squadron," said Matt, relieved that the battle was over. "Head back to HQ." The Coyotes heard this command and started receiving coordinates for the hyperspace trip back to Coruscant. A minute later, the 11 fighters became wide streaks as they jumped to lightspeed. However, theyall failed to notice the escape pod that had been jettisoned fromma battleship. Escape Pod The figure inside the escape pod watched as the Coyotes jumped into hyperspace. "Well, you've had your fun," the figure said angrily, "but next time, you won't get away. I promise that you'll meet your DOOM." -----signature----- Blue and yellow make a green lightsaber.

	Chapter 2: A Job Well Done The Coyotes came out of hyperspace near Coruscant. The planet, as it always did, looked brownish, lights dotting around the residential areas. "All right everyone. We're headed back to HQ," reminded Coyote Leader. "That was intense!" said Cal, wiping a bead of sweat that had run down his face. "When we get there, we'll debrief the mission and call it a day," replied Coyote Leader. "Nice; the rest of the day off sounds good to me," said Burk. "Hey, anyone want to go to the diner for lunch?" asked Turk, grinning at the thought of a victory meal at Taste of Tusken Grill and Bar, the Coyotes' favorite restaurant. "I'm in," chipped in Irguay Pirtell, also known as Coyote 8. An Ithorian, Irguay's helmet had been specailly modified to fit his hammerhead. "Me too," said Stock. "I need a nice cool glass of blue milk to start, followed by a bantha-sized steak. "Count me in," replied Dan. "I'll get a small Tusken brew." "Alcoholic or not?" asked Burk. "Non," said Dan. "I couldn't stand most of the alcohol that they have there. "What about the chiss chips?" asked Burk. "Those things are eerie. I mean, who would eat blue chips?" "Someone obviously does," replied Matt, grinning at his squadron's talk of food. "Well, that doesn't include me," said Dan as the Coyotes descended through the planet's atmosphere. Up ahead was HQ, and they could see pump's Y-Wing on the flight deck. Pump waved as the other 11 fighters came down slowly and their pilots got out. "Hey Pump," said Burk, "I thought you might have died." "Yeah, I thought so too," agreed Pump. "However, my hyperdrive got me out of there, and now I'm here." "You're lucky not to have became a permanent resident of space," said Dan sarcastically as he lightly punched Pump's shoulder. "So Pump, you want to go to the diner with us after the debriefing?" asked Burk, taking off his flight helmet and exposing his leathery head to the fading sun. "Sure, guys. I just have to make the repair droids keep working while I'm gone." "All right, everyone. Head into the briefing room," Matt said. "There;s a few things we have to go over." "Techniques?" asked Dan. "We don't need to win elegantly, man." "No, we just have to do it so that the mission is official," said Matt as he headed towards the briefing room. "Man, I can taste a steak at the diner," said Stock as the Coyotes followed their squadron leader inside the HQ building. -----signature----- Blue and yellow make a green lightsaber.

	As the Coyotes filed into the briefing room, Matt grabbed a his holo projector remote. Pressing it, he brought up a map of the coordinates that they were fighting in. "All right, gang," he said calmly. "Here's the fighting ara, and this..." he pointed into the diagram, "is us. Now, we seemed to have been trailed a lot during the battle. Why is that so, you ask." "Yeah, why?" asked Burk. "Then I'll explain. You see, the enemy battleships had us in their sights at all times, allowing their fire to keep us in a smaller area of space. By doing this, they had enough ships to flank us and maybe kill us off. Fortunatly, no one bit the dust, but it could very well have happened. Their strategy was impeccable; simple, yet effective." "So they had the advantage..." realized Pump, not so ashamed that he had to withdraw from the fighting after hearing this. "However, Burk figured out a way to destroy their battleships. By firing into a turbolaser turret, he was able to cause a chain reaction that destroyed the ship." "Wouldn't taking down the shields produce the same vulnerability?" asked Cal. "No, because hen you could hammer a ship until it is destroyed. Burk's method was able to destroy the ship without having to take out the shields first. It was very risky, but it worked out." "Anything mre that we have to discuss?" asked Turk. He was anxious to head for the diner. "No, that is all. You can go." The Coyotes got up from their seats and hung up their gear in the flight lockers. After a few minutes, the group headed to the turbolift down, where they would follow the skybridges towards the diner. Meanwhile, Matt stayed behind and shut off the holo projector. They're a good group, he thought, and they deserve a chance to relax. "However", he rubbed his chin; something didn't feel right about that victory. "It was too easy. Although my group was able to come through, I would have expected the battleships to provide more punch than they did. Something is not right." Staring out his office window, Matt could see his squadron heading towards the diner, laughing and talking about their recent victory. Watching them made Matt think "It's not over yet. We still have a long way to go before we can show that we truly belong in history. There is more to come; that's for certain." -----signature----- Blue and yellow make a green lightsaber.

	The Coyotes made their way to Taste of Tusken Bar and Grill, chating eagerly. They would celebrate their recent victory with some food, and they were hingry after the fighting. Burk made it to the door first, making sure to keep it open for his fellow squadron members. As they filed in, the waiter at the front said "Hey everyone. I'll get a table ready for all of you." "Thanks," said cal as the waiter moved off to get some tables ready for them. "So, you going to have your usual?" asked Burk. "Well, I said that I would get a small brew," said Dan, messing up his hair. "Otherwise, maybe I'll find something else to try." "Steaks are the way to go," said Stock. "Try the Orbital Rings," chipped in Irguay. "Those things look weird, but they've got it where it counts." He pointed to his mouth before pretending to chew. "The flavor is great, ad it sticks around for a while afterwards." "How about the Tusken Burger?" asked Burk. "I've heard that's great." "Not too much of a burger fan," said stock. "I'll take a nice juicy steak over a burger anyday." "Chiss chips, anyone?" asked Irguay. "Uh...NO!" joked Stock as a waiter came to seat the group. As they progressed to their seating location, the Coyotes noticed that it was a little busier than usual; "Family Night?" asked Stock. "Dinner rush, probably," replied Dan. "Who cares? What really matters is that we can eat and have fun," said Cal. As the group sat down in their booths, they began to look over the menus. "Usual, Irguay?" said Burk as he scanned the menu. "Sure, why not." replied the Ithorian. "What I get is always good." "I'll bet I can find somethinhg that tastes better than your usual," said Burk, lowering the menu to look at Irguay, who's eyes narrowed. "You betting, Burk?" he asked, intrigued. "Yeah, I'm betting you." said Burk. "What, now we're betting?" asked Cal, leaning over the side of his booth. "This is something I have to see." "I'll bet you...mmm...20 credits that my food will be better than yours, Irguay," said Burk. "I'll take the bet," replied Irguay. Ray, who was sitting next to Burk, said "I'll be the judge." "Ray will be the judge," said Silly excitedly. "This'll be fun!" "Kinda dumb, though," mumbled Stem Harris, also known as Coyote 7. A Duros, Stem had always been intrigued by flying, and was also one of the newest members of the squadron. He was tall and lanky, which gave him the nickname "Stem". "How so, Stem?" asked Cal. "It's great fun when there is a food bet." "Aren't we here to celebrate the victory?" Stem asked, wondering why everyone was so eager for the competition. "We'll do so by having a bet!" answered Cal as he reached into his pocket. "5 credits on Irguay's food being better." "I'll take that bet," replied Silly. "5 credits on Burk!" When the group ordered their food, they had something to talk about other than the victory. It was going to be a friendly bet, and they were filled to the brim with excitement to get it going and find out if Burk could come up with something better than Irguay's regular order. It was going to be interesting. -----signature----- Blue and yellow make a green lightsaber. How do you get red out of blue?

	When the food came out, the other Coyotes leaned over the booths to look at the competition; except for stem, who tried to look the other way. Burk had ordered Watto Wings with spicy Coruscant Surprise Sauce, and Irguay, as he usually did, had a Super Salad Dish, complete with Imperial salad dressing. "Irguay, you're going to lose," said Burk confidently. "Those 20 credits are mine." "I don't think so, man," replied Irguay, eyes narrowed at Burk's entree. "And why not?" Burk said this sarcastically, trying to get Irguay to give in before the competition even started. "Because we all know that I order superior food," said Irguay. Dan laughed; Irguay certainly had a good comeback. "We'll see about that," said Burk, pushing his plate of wings towards Ray. "Ray, prove that my food is better than his." Ray lifted a small piece and dipped it in the sauce. Chewing it slowly, his eyes wandered, obviously in thought. Next, he motioned for Irguay to give him a small bit of his salad. As he chewed this small morsel, the group waited for his reaction, knowing that several credits were on the line. Ray, after swallowing the reamining food, finally gave a verdict after a minute of thought. "Well, in my opinion, the winner would have to be..." -----signature----- Blue and yellow make a green lightsaber. How do you get red out of blue?

	"Well, the winner would have to be Irguay. His salad tastes great." "No!" breathed Burk as he slammed his fist sdown on the table. "C'mon, Burk. It's not that bad," said Irguay, holding out his hand. Burk scrounged aroun din his pocket, searching for the 20 credits that he owed Irguay for losing the bet. "Don't mess with the Ithorian!" said Dan. "He's the man!" Silly had to pay Cal for losing the bet as well, but he only lost 5, a 1/4 of Burk's bet. "Well, I guess that you'll have to eat those Wings in silence," he said to the disheartened Burk. "I'll take one if you're not going to eat them." "Don't be so down on yourself," said Ray, taking a bite out of his small vegetarian pizza. "It was just a bet." "It was more than just a bet," said Burk. "My reputation is tarnished." "For what reason?" asked Ray, chewing on his slice of pizza, the cheese stringy as ever. "I can't even win a bet," mumbled Burk as he dipped a Wing in the sauce. "Don't you remember; I don't win any bets. My record for winning is a big, fat 0." "Then don't bet," replied Stem, in process of eating his Maul Munchies, which were small stuffed rolls served with a light butter sauce. "I've never placed a bet." "Stem, you are betting whenever you fly," said Dan. "We all are taking a risk of not coming back when we fly." "But that's not a bet bet." "Still, it's a gamble, which can be construed as a bet." "Whatever," said Stem, returning to chewing on his Munchies. Foggy Tblianin reached over the back of her booth and patted Burk on the back. "Don't take it too hard, Burk. You can't be bummed out during our next mission." "You're right," said Burk, sitting up and biting his Wing. "That's the spirit!" said Cal. "Burk, I suggest that you don't challenge me to more "my food is better than your food" challanges," chipped in Irguay. "I've beaten you once; you may get back at me for that, but I'll still have won the first match." Burk waved a Wing at the Ithorian. "I'll get back at you some day; you'll see." Opening his mouth, he ripped off a lean part of the wing and chewed it viciously. The lump moved form side to side in his mouth as he furiously ground it into fine particles. "It was only 20 credits," said Dan sarcastically. "It's not like betting a starship or anything." "Uh-oh. . . Dan, don't give him ideas." said Irguay. "You don't even own your ship, so you can't gamble it in a bet." The continued chatter from the Coyotes' tables obviously had become part of the general din of the place, because hardly anyone looked at the group. Since it was the Squadron's restaurant of choice, they were a common sight. However, tourists wouldn't expect a group of 11 eager pilots to come to a sit-down restaurant; typical jocks went to sleezy bars or fast-food joints. "Hmm. . . I wonder what our next mission is going to be," pondered Stem. "Who cares? Let's party for now, and worry about that later!" Dan was eager to get Stem to agree that this was a great way to celebrate their victory. "We can't live as party animals, Dan," said Stem. "Most times, maybe. But we haven't had much reason to celebrate lately, so we're going to do it, now that we have an excuse." Stem sat quietly, taking a munchy and biting part of it off bitterly. "They're too eager to do foolish things," he thought as he ate the pastry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 45 minutes later, the waiter came back and asked the Coyotes if they wanted dessert. Being the second-in-command, Dan ordered a large Jedi Pie for the group to split. "I love Jedi Pie!" said Silly, holding his fork in anticipation. "The Twi'Lek Tails are better," said Burk. Those desserts are to die for." "Sith Sweets are superior to whatever anyone else says." said Cal. "No, Cal, Jedi Pie is the best. Just wait and see," replied Foggy. "Sith Sweets are still better. . ." mumbled Cal. "Well, you'll have to like the Jedi Pie," said Dan. "It's the only dessert that we're going to have tonight." "Aww. . .I was just kidding, Dan," said Burk. "I just think that the Tails are the best." When the Pie came, the group cut it into 11 equal slices. It was a good dessert, and it was a fitting end to the celebration. "Now we have to go back to the stress of everyday life," said Irguay in between bites of pie. "Sometimes, I wish this would never end," said Cal as he slowly ate. "You'd get full at some point. . ." replied Dan. "Then, Pie wouldn't look as good." He laughed, and Silly joined in the joke. "You'd have to sleep it off!" said Burk, finished with his slice of Pie and rubbing his belly appreciatively. "Wow, that was good." When the Coyotes had finished the Pie, they paid the bill and left the restaurant. As they made their way back, they talked about that nights' holoscreen programming; when they got back to their apartments, they would tune in to their favorite programs before hitting the sack. "Wheel of the Force is on tonight," said Turk. "I love that show." "I'm watching Swoop Stock Racing," said Silly. "It's fast AND safe for the drivers." "Dug or No Dug is my favorite show right now," chipped in Foggy, her dark brown hair rsutling in the soft breeze. "Well, I have no idea what I'm watching. As long as it's not Coruscant Shopping Network, I'm ahppy with most anything," chimed in Stock. "I can see you sitting up all night watching CSN, Stock," laughed Dan as the group left the sidewalk and made their way up to the turbolifts in the apartment building. -----signature----- Blue and yellow make a green lightsaber.
