The crux of this question is that you remove stress AFTER Night Beast's ability would trigger. If Night Beast is stressed, he will perform a green maneuver, then attempt the pilot ability (failing, because he cannot perform a free focus action while stressed), then he will remove stress due to performing a green maneuver.

At no point does Night Beast skip it's Perform Action step.
