STAR WARS OLD REPUBLIC BOUNTY HUNTERS SHADOW
A/N alright this is a rerelease because I went through it again and saw how badly I wrote it and decided to go back and fix things
CHAPTER 1 MAKING AN OPENING
A human boy at fifteen, sat against a tree as he stared at the black and silver Mandalorian helmet with its T shaped visor in his hands thinking of the upcoming battle. He begins to feel his mind drift off to a distant battlefield from a lost childhood, till he feels someone kick him in the side knocking him from his daydreams.
"Hey kid wake up we ain't getting paid to sit around day dreaming." Said a man in green Mandalorian armor
"But it's so hard when I got you to fill them with." The kid said with sarcasm and a chuckle
"Always knew you was a queer now get your shit we're movin out." The green armored man said to him
"Yeah alright Jeckel where's the Cap at." Said the kid to the now identified Jeckel.
"He already moved up with Joker and Sandman, they are waiting on us to hit the outpost." Jeckel informed him
"Alright let's go." said the kid as he got up and threw on his helmet and picked up his blaster rifle
"We waitin on your day dreamin ass, Wraith" Jeckel said as he began to walk away
"Yeah yeah I'm coming." Wraith said as he fell in stride behind Jeckel
The two men clad in Mandalorian armor crawled up to the top of a hill where three more Mandalorians watched over an outpost filled with Republic troopers in white armor.
"Well took you two love birds long enough." the Mandalorian in orange and gray armor said
"Yeah yeah whatever, what we got Captain?" Jeckel asked
"About a company of Republic troopers to clear out of this outpost then that will allow the Sith army to move up and hit the Republic base at the end of this valley." Said the Mandalorian in red and black armor
"Never understood why they wear white ass armor stand out anywhere, cept maybe Hoth." Said the Mandalorian in gray and orange armor
"Well at least they got some place they blend in Joker unlike you." Said the last Mandalorian dressed in light brown and sand yellow armor
"Oh shut up Sandman." Said Joker
"Shut up the both of you." The Captain said in a hushed voice "Geez you're bickering is gonna give us away before we even get a chance to hit them."
"Sorry sir." The two said at the same time
"Alright once night falls we hit them with charges there, there and there" the Captain said pointing toward three posts on the outer wall, "Then after those go, we jump the wall there with our jet packs." He said as he pointed to the last position
"Roger" everyone said as they began to check their gear to prepare for the upcoming battle
"Good just be ready by night fall and prepare to bring hell with us." Said the captain
As night fell five shadowy figures moved up to the outer wall of the outpost and began setting charges under the watch towers on the wall then met up at the far side of the wall.
The figure in red looked at the rest them and gave a thumbs up and received four more back. After receiving the thumbs up from the rest of his squad he began to count done from five on his fingers as everyone double checked their blasters. Once he reached one he made a fist and the peaceful night was destroyed by explosions ripping through the night air and then screams of pain and confusion cried out from the darkness.
"Let's go!" the captain yelled as he jumped up and activated the jet pack on his back followed by the rest of the team.
The team came over the side of the wall and saw troopers running toward the towers trying to combat the flames.
"Sandman take Wraith and take down the motor pool before they can get those tanks out, Joker Jeckel on me we are gonna take out that comm relay before they can get a distress call out," the Captain yelled to the team as he took off toward the satellite dish.
"Alright verd'ika let's go and take care of that motor pool before they start hitting us with those tanks." Sandman said to Wraith
"Hey name's Wraith, Sandman. I've earned my call sign. I'm not a kid anymore" Wraith argued with the older Mandalorian
"Whatever you'll always be our verd'ika." Sandman said in a teasing tone the way you would normally talk to a kid, knowing it gets on Wraiths nerves
"Let's just go." Wraith said as he started running toward the motor pool
The two Mandalorians ran between cover across the outpost to reach the motor pool and began setting charges, as they set the last charge the satellite dish erupted into flames
"Well I think they know we are here now. No more reason to stay quiet." Sandman called over to Wraith as he held up the detonator and they began to run toward the gate only to be blocked by a squad of troopers and a tank that they had missed.
"Halt" the trooper that seemed to be in charge yelled at the two
"Well Sandman looks like you missed one." Wraith said as they held up their hands
"Yeah yeah yeah you got it?" sandman said to him
"Yeah I got it." Wraith replied back
"Hey what's that in your hand drop it." The trooper yelled as Sandman hit the detonator causing a massive explosion behind them making the troopers to lose their footing and some to fall to a knee this gave Wraith his opening to bring his hand to the control pad on his wrist to activate the rocket on his back to launch, destroying the remaining tank and kill most of the stunned troopers to close to it.
As soon as the rocket left his back Wraith brought up his blaster rifle and finished off the remaining troopers around the burning tank.
It only took about another half hour to clear the rest of the outpost of Republic troopers and the team to link back up with each other
"Good job taking out those tanks." The Captain said to Sandman and Wraith as they met up with the rest of the team
"Thanks." They both said in unison
"Alright time to call in mission complete and get paid." The Captain said as he put his finger to the side of his helmet and began to call in the mission complete
"Yuuuut, getting paid then getting laid." Joker called with excitement
"Hell maybe we can even get little brother laid this time." Sandman joked
"How many times I gotta tell you it's Wraith not little brother and I don't need your help to get some I can do fine on my own." Wraith retorted back
"That Grammorrean you were hitting on back at Nar Shada don't count." Joker shot back
"If I remember correctly it was you hitting on that pig lady and I had to jump on the grenade for you." Wraith shot back
"Bullshit try to deny it but that was you all the way Wraith." Joker laughed
"No man pretty sure he jumped on that grenade for you man, you were pretty plastered that night, hell I think I even remember he yelled out 'grenade' and jumped on her for you and then the brawl started up after that." Jeckel chimed in
"No, no…." Joker began but stuttered trying to remember the night. "There is no way I would try to hook up with a Grammorrean." He tried to defend himself but couldn't remember what actually happened that night
"Got nothing do ya cause that's what happened." Wraith said
"I… I got nothing, ok I think I may have a problem, I gotta cut down on the drinking." Joker said in defeat
"Well we will get you some help for that just after this next R&R cycle I just wanta see you on stage singing karaoke drunk off your ass one last time." Jeckel chuckled
"Fine fine one last time. Just for you old buddy just be happy I like you." Joker pointed at him with a laugh.
"Alright if you're done determining each other's sexual orientations, stand too we got the drop ship coming in" the Captain said as a ship crested over the far ridge line and headed their way
They watched as the ship came down into the center of the base and the door opened up and about fifty guys in black Sith battle armor ran down the ramp carrying blaster rifles and began to secure the base. Two cloaked figures walked down the ramp as well and stood in front of the captain.
"Good job as always captain." The cloaked figure said
"Just doing what we get paid for, and I am checking my accounts and there hasn't been a deposit for our payment yet." The Captain said as he pressed some buttons on his wrist pad
"Well that is because there has been a change in our deal you see." The cloaked Sith said
At hearing this all the Mandalorians tightened their grip on their blasters. "What do you mean there has been a change of plans?" the Captain asked but got no response. "Darth Malas what do…" the Captain began but was cut off as a red saber emerged from his back
"CAPTAIN!" yelled the squad as they brought their rifles up and opened fire on the two Sith and they began deflecting the blasts
"Kill those aruetiise" Joker yelled as they got behind cover and began taking fire from the Sith troopers.
"Goddamnt they will not get away with this." Jeckel yelled as he launched the rocket from his back and hit a group of Sith troopers. Just then the Sith lord charged them and cut down Sandman.
"SANDMAN!" Wraith yelled as he charged the Sith lord pulling out his knife swinging at him and cutting the Sith lord across the face leaving a bloody jagged gash from his left eye to the right side of his face.
"Bastard!" Malas yelled as he grabbed his face then force pushed Wraith throwing him across the base making him smash into the wall causing it to crumble on top of him last thing he saw was Joker and Jeckel being cut down by the two Sith as he was buried by the rubble. Just before the darkness over took him he saw the image of a girl about four or five years old with bright red hair sitting next to a stream with her back to him.
"Kristy?" Wraith asked in a weak voice fighting to stay conscious
The girl turned toward him and he saw her bright green eyes as she smiled and said "Hi Jason." As everything went black and he slipped into unconsciousness
