Here is the third part of the Into The Maelstrom Quadrilogy written by Arclite, Kryo and myself, we hope you enjoy it 
Chapter III: Last Flight of the Valkyrie
[A view of space showing the Jedi fleet surrounded by a halo of laser fire. Zoom in on the AS Skywalker]
He watched in the main viewer as the SSD Serious Callers Only went down. "Fortune smiles upon us" said Master Yoda. His crew around him were used to his random statements but shock spread across their faces. They were being destroyed and Master Yoda thought it fortunate? "Incoming Transmission Sir" said the helmsman.
[On board the SS Defiant]
"Sir we have an incoming ship on sensors. We cannot identify it" reported the Operations officer. "Hail them" replied Arcilte automatically. "No need Sir, they are broadcasting to the entire Jedi Fleet" "On screen" ordered Arcilte. A view of KEmperor appeared on the view screen. ".....attention fleet, you are stuck in a polaron field.” said the raspy voice on the screen. “We will disable the field and descend to the surface. Meet us there as soon as you can. KEmperor out". Arcilte watched on the main screen as a Valkyrie class frigate dropped out of hyperspace in the middle of the MWC fleet. "They're going to be slaughtered," he thought.
[On board the KEmperor’s ship]
"End communications with the fleet" hissed KEmperor as he flicked the switch that would allow him to talk to his entire crew "Gentlemen, this is the last flight of the Valkyrie. Once we leave hyperspace all hands abandon ship and set course for the facility on Wardell IV" with that he cut the channel and looked around at the bridge crew "Commander, bring us out of hyperspace and aim the ship at the MWC Zeezrom. Set all weapons to fire automatically and initiate ramming speed. Then I want you to get yourself into an escape pod" With a final inspection of his ship, KEmperor strode off the bridge for the last time.
[On board the SSD Sherbertia]
"What the hell is he doing" wondered Admiral Sherbert aloud as more MWC fire raked the Sherbertia. As he spoke he could hear the bulkheads deep within the ship begin to groan underneath the hammering the ship had taken so far. "My lord, they've launched their escape pods" reported the helmsman. "Their engines are still at full power though… OH MY G.....". On the main viewer Admiral Sherbert watched the SS KEmperor collide into the MWC Zeezrom. All seemed still for a moment and then a huge technicolor maelstrom erupted from the ships; blowing them both to pieces. All around Sherbert the hum of the engines grew, the lights flickered, and the ship was slowly coming back to life. He opened a channel to the fleet. "Jedi Fleet, this is command. Power has been restored.” He said in an excited voice. The Admiral remembered the escape pods floating in space and hurriedly gave an order. “Cadrys, protect those escape pods. They MUST make it to the surface". He had a feeling KEmperor had at least one more part to play before this confrontation came to an end. Admiral Sherbert opened a comm. channel to the SS Halut I. "Icho Tolot, you are to head straight for Wardell IV with the assault ships and lead our forces in the attack on the facility.” The Admiral turned to his men. “MEN, ITS TIME TO BLOW THESE FLYBBOYS FROM THE STARS!" He watched on the main viewer as fire erupted from the now non-dormant Jedi fleet. They were hitting the enemy with everything they had.
[On board the SS Defiant, Arcilte addresses his battle group]
Arclite sat on the bridge of the defiant, in him the force surged for a moment and then was gone but at least he knew what he had to say now - "This goes against what I said earlier but we've lost a lot of good ships and our firepower is now needed elsewhere. We are to support the SSD Icemane in taking out the enemy cruisers and battleships. Once Darth Kryo's tactical officer has assigned you a target, you are to fire at will." ordered Arcilte, as he paced the bridge. After what seemed like an eternity, the comm flickered on to show a warrior's visage, with shaven head and a large scar over one eye. "This is Commander Talos of the Icemane," growled the man. "We are requesting support fire"
"Already arranged. Where is Darth Kryo?" Arcilte inquired. "The Dark Lord is... occupied elsewhere. I am in command of this ship for now." rumbled Talos. Despite the commander's ambiguity, Arcilte continued. "Very well. We are already moving into an attack pattern; assign us as many targets as necessary." Arcilte replied. "The force is a powerful ally indeed," thought Arcilte.
[Zoom out to a view of the entire fleet. The Jedi Fleet is knocking a hole through the center of the MWC lines which allows Icho Tolot's assault group passage to Wardell IV. The camera pans to show a blue glow escaping from the Icemane and heading down to the planet. Then switch to a view of the SS Halut’s bridge]
"My lord, we have the crash co-ordinates of KEmperor’s escape pods" reported Icho's tactical officer. "Send the coordinates to the rest of our battle group and prepare all troops for a ground assault" Icho replied "I will be leading the attack personally.”
[Meanwhile on board the DC Killing Time]
Exar Kuun watched the MWC Megara rain down blow after blow upon the Killing Time. Thank the Force that the technicians were right. This ship was a verifiable fortress. "Sir, we've restarted the fusion core!" said his lieutenant. "I think now might be an opportune time to return fire then" replied Exar dryly. The ship shuddered as the weapon systems came back to life and the plasma cannons opened fire on the MWC Megara. As the cannons fired, bright beams of light raced towards the enemy and Exar was sure he could see parts of the MWC ship vaporizing. A frigate was no match for a cruiser… even a badly damaged one.
[Switch to the surface of the planet Wardell IV]
KEmperor felt the power of the force flowing through him as force lightning arced from his fingertips on one hand. In his other hand he wielded a lightsaber that sliced through enemy after enemy. KEmperor and his remaining troops fought their way towards the silvery building in the distance. The enemy melted before the might of KEmperor but he knew once he reached inside, this would not last forever. Icho had better make it here soon he thought......

In accordance with the trend of stories based on the adventures and exploits of Jedi's ships in the fleet (and because I've got an itch to break out the quill ) I'm planning to begin a short little series on the history of the AS Skywalker... Arcilte, if I get a good story line going could I also enlist your professional services as editor  ? Nice story as usual Exar 
Master Yoda
