The warbird was fast, so Tommy and Vinny quickly reigned in the laughter. "We've got to get rid of Z, Vinny," Tommy said.
"I don't have anything that can do that, Tommy," Vinny admitted.
"Oh, I do," Tommy quickly replied,"but we can't let him know it's coming," he added. "He'll be wise to decoys so we have to lure him in and force him into our trap. He'll try to outsmart us and that will be his undoing. But we can't stop to fight him now. We need to keep going as fast as we can. Follow me," Tommy said as he engaged his thrusters and flew straight up smashing through the top of the shaft narrowly averting total self-destruction by clearing the way with a rapid-fire burst of phazer blasts, as if emanating from a Gatling gun, followed by a well timed torpedo. He neatly maneuvered his fighter through the hole into what appeared to be a giant arena. "Unbelievable!", he said,"this is exactly what we need. It's just too soon. Well, sort of. He released a small craft from the front of his fighter. It hovered in the middle of the arena then disappeared toward the stands.
The stands were actually pods. The pods encircled the stage which was actually the empty space between the pods. Tommy looked around. All of the pods were empty. "My gut tells me that these pods are going to start filling up very quickly and that we are going to be the main event!"
"I'm not sure I like that idea," Vinny responded.
"No Vinny, that's good, we WANT to be the main event," Tommy quickly reassured him. "By now, Z has discovered our little detour. Take a look at the diagram he traded to you," he urged.
"Okay, I'm looking," Vinny responded
"Z should be on his way here, coming up through Sector G, Shaft 07A. It's the only one that looks big enough for that megafighter. I need to check something out," Tommy continued,"so I need you to lure Z up here. Follow shaft 07C. It leads to Level 4. On the way, you'll pass shaft07A. Make sure that Z sees you. Pass his position and then double back like you are afraid to continue. Try to draw his fire but stay back. Try to make him think "KILL" Make him follow you.
Vinny laughed, "Z is always thinking kill."
"Ha, right, well that's good," Tommy agreed,"now when you reach the arena, I'll be waiting, but I want you to drop straight down and out of sight, behind the pods, right down there." Tommy focused a laser beam from the front of his craft several rows below their position.
"Tommy, where the Varst did you get that awesome laser beam thing? Vinny exclaimed.
"Never mind, just be there. Now go get that asshole Z!" Tommy ordered.
"OOH! T-bone's a' sizzlin', you got it little bro," Vinny laughed, turning his fighter, singing,"gonna get you..get you sucka," Blue had never heard the song before, but he liked it.
