Ian sprints towards the large market place, for it has something the player needs. This place was a shipyard market. Every store, left and right, would have discounts, special offers, sales, and more to promote selling.. Ian looks around in a rush as in looking for that one particular place. He walks further into the giant plaza. 'C'mon, where are you.' Ian thought while keeping on his search. 'An, their you are.' Ian smirks, walking up to a store called "Fighter Wing". Inside the store are several fighters hanging from the ceiling, others parked around the sides, and some in the middle to look at. He keeps walking foreword until he sees a clerk behind a cashier counter. Ian steps in front of the counter and openned his menu before he presses on his item icon and scrolls down to find his credits. 'Ok. 1,000 credits is all I have. The fighter is at 250 so that should give me enough for ammunition and maybe some modifications.' Ian thinks as he finally looks at the clerk. "Hello, how may I help you?" The female clerk says with a smile. "I would like to buy an Arc-170." Ian replies. "Very well, that will be 500 credits." The clerk says. "F-five hundred!! In the beta it was 250, this is a rip-off!!" Ian says madly as he slams his fist to the counter. "I-I'm sorry but that's the price. I really can't do anything about it." The virtual clerk says, terrified of the Mandalorian armored player in front of her. "Uh, fine whatever. Here" Ian pulls out the 500 credits and hands it to the clerk. "Thank you very much. Your fighter should be at hanger A-28." The clerk replies. Ian sprints out of the store and hunts for hanger A-28.

'What a ripoff, now I can't get my modifications to the Arc. Guess I better start raiding imperial outpost.' Ian stops in front of a massive hanger bay big enough to fit in, at maximum, 10 Jedi Cuisers. Ian smiles under his helmet and walks inside, looking for a sign that would lead him to the direction of hanger A-28. Inside the hanger bay are about 1,000 players some looking to find their ships, others to meet up with friends, and some to just look around. 'Let's see, walk down that hallway and make a right. Ok, not so hard.' The Mandalorian Spartan walks down the hall until a human size hologram appears at almost every corner. 'What the?' Ian thinks as he looks at the hologram. The hologram displays Emperor Palpatine in his Sith Lord outfit, his hood covering his eyes and nose while leaving his mouth visible. All the players look at a hologram near them and murmur a couple of words to their fellow friends.

"Hello Soldiers, I hope I'm not interrupting anything....serious" the Sith Lord begins his speec. Players whisper to each other. "Welcome to Fusion, the first Artificial/Virtual Reality game. As some of you have sent some complaints about the log-off button not being available," Players nod in agreement, for the log-off button was not shown in the menu ", I assure you. . . this is not a bug." Many players look at the hologram in shock while others yell to know why they can't log off. "All of you are now trapped in this world, ready to fight your way out. This is how you pathetic players will live until you finish the game. The only thing is, if you die here, well, you won't be living in the real world either." The emperor laughs evilly as players yell in anger, and others stay silent in shock. "And if anyone in the outside world tries to pull off your Neuron Pulser, it will do as it's name applies and send a pulse from your head to your heart and make it overwork, suffering a gruesome death. I have warned the outside world but, let's just say. 112 players are no longer breathing." The news sends fear into player's souls for a death in Fusion is a death in real life.

"That's not true."

"stop lying."

"get me out of here."

These are many screams players repeat to the terrifying news they have just heard. "But, the escape is simple. Conquer the galaxy and eliminate the enemy Factions that include The Covenant, The Galactic Empire, and The Separatist Droid Army. But, to start the game, only the best of the best can do this. For now enemy factions have sent troops to every planet to kill any player for the next 2 hours. If you survive this first mission, you can then proceed to conquer the Galaxy." The holorgam then shuts off as heavy clanking of footstep is heard through out the hanger bay. "Look! Players!" A B1 battle droid says. "Well then don't just stand their. Blast them!!" The commanding B1 battle droid says. The platoon of droids start firing upon the scared players. Ian quickly draws his twin Westar-35 blasters and start defending himself from the waves of B1 battle droids. "Everyone, get on a republic frigate now!" Ian yells at an open comm frequency that is heard to all the players wearing their helmets. Ian is then immediately bombarded with questions, screams and questions. "Listen, just do it or you won't get to live!" Ian tells the players as he takes down 8 B1 battle droids. Everyone replies with a form of affirmation. Ian turns of the comm frequency and rushes to hanger A-28. As he approaches the hanger, many stormtroopers are in the hanger landing from imperial transport. The stormtroopers turn around as they hear Ian enter the hanger. "Blast him." A stormtroopers says as they start firing at Ian's direction. Ian rolls towards a large crate and takes cover from the laser fire. Ian waits for sometime before he charges straight towards the stormtroopers. Ian shoots 2 down, jumps and spins, shooting at 8 stormtroopers, and throws a thermal detonator to the final 10. After the battle Ian gets in his Arc-170 and prepares to for take off. At the same time stormtroopers enter the hanger and start firing at the Arc. "C'mon hurry." Ian says as he starts slamming buttons to take off. "We have a player trying to escape, we need reinforcements." A stormtroopers says as he starts firing the arc. "Just...a little...more" Ian says as he finally activates his ship and starts firing at the stormtroopers. After he takes out the stormtroopers he turns his Arc around and fly's out of the hanger and into space. "Well. That was close." Ian checks on his radar as no imperial ships went chasing after him. "Now we can finally go-" Ian stops halfway as a Star Destroyer jumps out of hyperspace. "Not now!" Ian turns his ship around to the opposite direction and stars calculating his jump to light speed. "Maybe they haven't spotted me" Ian says as the Star Destroyer starts deploying Tie Fighters. "5 more seconds." Ian says,

The Tie fighters search around for Ian

"4 seconds."

Tie Fighters have locked on Ian's position

"3 seconds."

The fighters start approaching in Ian's location

"2 seconds."

Then Tie fighters start to open fire

"1 second."

A missile is launched to the Arc

"Now!!"

Ian slams a button as it starts its jump to light speed and leaves the planet Kuat.

"That was close. Now. Where to-." Ian gets cut off as he receives a transmission. He opens the transmission.

"Hello. I am Calem. A level 18 player and currently the highest ranked player. I am calling all players to Yavin 4 for an immediate meeting to find a way to stop and leave this place. Thank you that is all" the transmission shuts down.

"Funny, I'm a level 28. But whatever." Ian then sets to Yavin 4.
