Q grinned and snapped his fingers, and the ships power suddenly surged to life. Consoles shined brightly and internal damages were fixed without any issue. Redshirts respawned. The tractor beam faltered and lost its hold on the ship.
Your ship is operating at 200% efficiency, with a full torpedo compliment. Oh, and your weapons work again. That should give you the ticket you need. I will await you on the ground where you first met me.
A snap of the fingers, and he was gone.
Wedge dove from above and began strafing the remaining guns, hoping to save the ship from its demise. He knew, though, deep down it was meaningless. That he would need to expend his last few torpedoes now to get out alive. He primed them and locked onto the power source after he finished his strafe, awaiting the turn around and the bright flash of his demolished ally.

Red Queen was surprised when the tractor beam lost its hold on the Midori and it was in twice the condition it was during the beginning of the conflict. But her focus now was the X-Wing who went to work to finish off the remaining secondary weapons on the ship's body. Casting a second tractor beam towards the X-Wing only this one aimed to repel the X-Wing away while the ship itself began to pull back getting its weapons out of range of the Midori so it could focus taking down the X-Wing with a photon torpedo of its own.

“Your ship is operating at 200% efficiency, with a full torpedo compliment. Oh, and your weapons work again. That should give you the ticket you need. I will await you on the ground where you first met me.”
“Thank you.”
Yalea didn't like owing a favor to Q but the lives of her crew were more important than her pride. Sitting back down in her captain's chair she leaned back and looked over her shoulder to operations.
“Open a channel.”
The operations officer nodded and hailed the enemy ship.
“As you can no doubt see we're a lot more powerful than we look. Your main gun is offline and most of your secondary weaponry are down. It is not in your best interest to continue. Surrender now and I will not destroy your ship.”
“Captain, they are firing another tractor beam at the ally ship.”
“Get them out of it.”
The ship fired at the tractor beam to get the X-Wing out so it had plenty of time to get away from the in-coming photon torpedo.

Wedge was mid-turn when the tractorbeam caught him. Its wide dispersal prevented any sort of evasive maneuver. The engines did not stop despite the beam, but they cut out after a moment. Wedge was furiously flipping switches, diverting power to shield recovery and weapons, in hopes he could blast his way out of this hold. Mynock screaming all the while, Wedge pivoted the fighter to shoot when he saw the U.S.S. Midori open fire again. The damage broke the beam, and just in time. The photon torpedo flew out towards Wedge, who engaged his engines at full, deploying chaff and flares to break the lock as he hammerheaded out of the weapon's lock.

The Red Queen looked towards Yalea recording her image, voice and all other relevant information to her database for Vulture to use in the future. The Starfleet captain had made a powerful enemy here today and if she survived this encounter it would be only the first of many between them. But that was assuming Captain Yalea and the Resistance member survived, which was something the AI did not count on. She could see that the ship was useless in combat and the only logical conclusion was to dispose of it.
“The ship is irrelevant. You're all going to die out here!”
And at those words Red Queen activated the self destruct system on the ship and the large vessel shinned like a star as it exploded in the face of the Midori and X-Wing looking to take both of them out in the blast as hunk of scrap metal fell back into Genesis' atmosphere making for a not so nice surprise for whoever it landed on.

“The ship is irrelevant. You're all going to die out here!”
“Captain! The enemy's self-destruct system has been engaged!”
“Get us the hell out of here!”
As the enemy ship was on the verged of blowing up to kingdom come, the ship turned and took off at warp leaving the system to escape the blast.

Wedge saw the ship light up and instinct took over. Close S-foils. Engage Hyperdrive.
The X-wing stretched in space, the blasted forward right as the thing went nova. Wedge broke out of hyperspace in an instant, much further from the planet than he was before the engagement.
The U.S.S. Midora's bridge was filled with a voice. Bravo, my captain. I hope you're prepared for more than just that.
