INT. QUANTUM PIXIE - LOUNGE

Ben catches up with Kane.

BEN
What?s going on?

KANE
Don?t worry about it.

Drekka stops.

DREKKA
Either of you know how to use a gun port?

KANE and BEN
Absolutely

Ben looks at Kane.

DREKKA
Good. Man the guns, I?m headed for the cockpit.

BEN
We?re not doing what I think we?re doing?

Kane nods. Ben shakes his head.

BEN (con?d)
I have a bad feeling about this.

Kane and Ben enter the gun wells - Ben on the right, Kane on the left. As Kane takes the controls, he looks a little confused. Meanwhile, Minch and Artoo stay in the lounge and Thenna follows Drekka into the cockpit.

INT. QUANTUM PIXIE - COCKPIT

Drekka takes the pilot seat and Thenna sits down next to him, taking a headset.

DREKKA
What do you think your doing?

THENNA
I want to help pilot us out.

DREKKA
You know you?re not ready, now go strap in the lounge.

Thenna gets up and storms out.

THENNA (con?d)
You never let me do anything!

DREKKA
(Shouting after her)
Not the time for this!

He puts on his headset.

DREKKA (con?d)
You boys ready?

INT. QUANTUM PIXIE - LEFT GUNWELL

Kane is still trying to figure out the controls.

KANE
Yeah, um, sure.

INT. QUANTUM PIXIE - COCKPIT

DREKKA
Good.

Drekka raises the ship up and it hits the shielding, causing some sparks.

DREKKA (con?d)
Ok, aim for the fuel storage.

Kane and Ben blast at the landing pad, Ben much more controlled than Kane. The fuel explodes, causing the landing pad to blow up. The Pixie shakes, and Drekka, looking nervous, drops the ship under the shield, almost scraping the mountain below, and rockets up through the atmosphere.

EXT. SPACE - NEAR TOWNOWI

The Quantum Pixie speeds away from Townowi. Several capital ships are visible in the distance.

INT. QUANTUM PIXIE - RIGHT GUNWELL

BEN
Looks like planetary defenses weren?t too happy with us leaving.

INT. QUANTUM PIXIE - COCKPIT

DREKKA
Trust me, for an organization preaching freedom from the oppressive Republic, they really hate it when you break the rules.

INT. QUANTUM PIXIE - LEFT GUNWELL

KANE
Squadron of fighters, incoming.

INT. QUANTUM PIXIE - COCKPIT

DREKKA
Time for you boys to prove your worth. Look, those Coalition fighters are fast, but aim for the plasma cell under the guns and you can usually take em out with one shot.

INT. QUANTUM PIXIE - LEFT GUNWELL

DREKKA (V.O.)
Kane - treat my girl well.

KANE
But- Um, Okay.

INT. QUANTUM PIXIE - COCKPIT

DREKKA
What is it?

KANE
Nothing. I?m just not used to this type of gun well.

DREKKA
A little late for that. Ten seconds to maximum range.

INT. QUANTUM PIXIE - LEFT GUNWELL

Thenna shows up by Kane?s gun well.

THENNA
Not used to this type of gunwell? What does that mean?

KANE
Nothing! I just, well I just can?t really shoot too accurately.

THENNA
You blasted the landing pad pretty good.

KANE
Of course I did - how could I miss!

THENNA
I can?t believe we?re trusting you with our ship.

KANE
Hey, I was pretty good back in the simulators-

THENNA
Simulators!

KANE
I was a little too busy being taught not to be Darth Vader to learn how to shoot guns!

THENNA
Get out of that chair.

Kane gets out, Thenna sits down and takes over

THENNA (con?d)
Go help dad fly this thing before his pride kills us all.

Kane huffs.

KANE
Fine.

Kane leaves.
