Five Tie Fighters were flying towards Coruscant.

Tie Pilot 94: General, we're approaching our target. Beginning reconnaissance.

What they didn't realize was that three Triumph's were closing in on them.

Simon: *Flying with Tom, and Captain Smith*
Captain Smith: There they are.
Tom: Good plan Simon.
Simon: Now we take them down before they can rapporter anything to their comrades.

One of the pilots of those Tie Fighters however, was Max.

Max: We've picked up some bogies. Dispose of them.
Tie Pilots: *Turning around*
Tom: *Shooting a Tie Fighter*
Captain Smith: *Shoots down another Tie Fighter*
Max: Try and shake those three, then shoot them!

There were a few asteroids the Imperials used to hide from the three pilots.

Simon: To the asteroids. *Turns left with Tom, and Captain Smith*

Two of the Tie Pilots turned around to face the Triumph's and shot at Tom, and Captain Smith.

Captain Smith: I've taken too much damage!
Tom: Same here. We're heading back to base.
Simon: I guess I'm on my own. *Fires two torpedoes, and shoots down a Tie Fighter*
Max: *Looks at the Tie Fighter that got hit par the torpedoes* Okay, two can play at that game. *Turns around, and fires at Simon*
Simon: *Activates his shields, and shoots at Max*
Max: *Gets hit three times* Damn! *Turns around, following Simon*
Simon: *Dives, and decreases speed*
Max: *Passes Simon*
Simon: *Goes up, and shoots Max again*
Max: *Gets hit several times* Ah!! *Looks at the blood coming out of his leg* I've still got some life left in me. *Turns around to face Simon, but his weapons are jammed. He cannot return fire*
Simon: *Shoots Max, and kills him* Enemies down, I'm coming back to rejoindre you. Drinks are on me.
Tie Pilot 57: *Following Simon from the asteroids* Did toi forget about me? *Fires torpedoes at Simon, and kills him*

Stop the song

Captain Smith: Simon? Simon?!?!
Tom: *Looks back, and sees a Triumph diving towards the ground* Captain, I don't think he's alive!

The two pilots helplessly watched as their friend's Triumph charged towards a very tall building.

People: *Looking at the Triumph* Get back!!

The Triumph crashed, taking the building down with it.

General Kar: Did toi get anything?
Tie Pilot 57: Negative. Too much enemy interference.
General Kar: Understood. Come back home.

Back on Coruscant, everyone was sad about the loss of one of their pilots.

Sten: Simon was too good a man to die like that.
Tom: After all the missions we've gone through. I'll never forget the time he and Wedge landed that Y-Wing in the étoile, star Destroyer. The two of them took down the whole crew aboard that ship, with just their blasters, and fists.

General Kar: Enemy pilots were awaiting our recon group when they arrived at Coruscant. They even killed Max.
Colonel Rosemeyer: We Lost Max?
General Kar: *Nods* It's sûr, sans danger to say, that they are expecting us no matter what we do. This is our final attack. We must succeed in taking Coruscant, ou the Emperor will be infuriated.
Lieutenant Von Hapen: I say we use étoile, star Destroyers, just like our first attack.
Alaine: *Nods* Along with everything else we can get. Frigates, Bombers, Fighters, Strikers, Reapers, even some Landing Craft wouldn't hurt.
Lieutenant Von Hapen: Unless the Republic tries anything.

The four of them laughed.

General Kar: Let's go brief our pilots.
