When Windu returns, he sets the can of Skoal down on the counter across from me.
"Before I give this to you, why were you in the middle of a Republic Base?" He asks.
"I honestly don't know, I just woke up out there, we found the two speeders, and then everything else happened." I reply while gesturing for the can.
"That'll do for now, I suppose." He mumbles while setting the can down on my chest. When I go for the can, I can't reach it because I'm tied down still.
"Hey, can you untie me?" Anakin just laughs while Windu says "No can do, you're a threat to the padawans safety." He, Anakin, and another white guy all leave the room.
Now it's just me, Nick who's still out cold, Ahsoka, I think her name was, and that Silverfang kid. "Well then." I announce to the room "Who would like to untie me?"
"HA, like I would do that!" Ahsoka says while walking over to Nick. Silverfang jumps in, "Sure thing dude, it's not right to tempt you with something like that." He starts moving towards me. "Fenrir! What the hell are you doing! He tried to kill me two days ago!"
"Well Master Skywalker did flip his speeder." Silverfang says back while undoing my hand restraints. "Well…they're Mandalorians! They're bounty hunters, didn't you see their armor?" She yells
"So?" Silverfang replies "I'm from a race of people that were once wolves, what does it matter if he is mandalorian or not?" He finishes untying my bonds.
"Not to interrupt you two, but can someone get me my armor, or some clothes or something?" I say while getting out of the hospital bed, the hospital gown wasn't doing much for me.
"Wow, how tall are you dude?" Fenrir asks "6'5", you aren't exactly short yourself" I say back. Fenrir comes up to about my shoulders, something Nick wishes he could do.
Fenrir turns to Ahsoka "Hey Ahsoka, do you mind watching them while I go get him some clothes?" "I guess not" she responds looking a little mad "But if he does something I don't like I am going to send him into the wall."
"Fine by me" Fenrir says while walking out of the room. I pick up my can and pack it. "What exactly is that?" Ahsoka asks.
"It's moist tobacco, you just stick it in your lips and suck the flavor out of it." I say while putting a large dip in my mouth
"Tobacco? That's a lie, tobacco has been extinct for over a thousand years." She says. I almost swallow my dip when she says that. No tobacco huh? Fuck me. "I guess this is as good of a time as any to quit." I say. I toss the can in the trash and spit the dip out.
"So then…how old are you?" she say while eyeing me up "18" I say back "What about you?"
"18 as well, you look about twice that." She says while examining my face. "I get that a lot." I tell her while checking her out. She looks good…for an alien. "So, is Anakin always a cocky bastard?"
She nods "Yeah, it's pitiful." She starts laughing and I join in.

"Shit!" I yell "Ya'll better get our armor here now!" I start trying to wake Nick up as Fenrir runs in with our stuff.
Nick starts to move, "Ugh, what the fuck happened?" he mutters while holding his head.
"Nick get your ass suited up now!" I yell pulling on my chest piece and forearm guards.
"Why? What's going on?" He asks getting out of bed. "Well for one, I'd rather not be bare ass naked while this is going down!" I point towards the speaker in the ceiling. I pull my helmet on and hand Nick his.
"Okay, weapons?" I ask Ahsoka and Fenrir. "Sorry, we can't give you them, you aren't exactly on good standing with everyone right now." Fenrir replies. I walk up to him and start shaking him.
"Wake up man!" I yell. "Ya'll are under at-" I'm cut off by the sound of a huge explosion. "See?" I tell him.
"Okay fine, here are your gauntlets and blasters." Ahsoka says while handing us some guns. I holster my gear and I see Nick pop his helmet on. "Ahsoka, what are we going up against?" I ask her. "What do you mean 'we"? She snips back.
I move out the door with her. "I mean that I am going out there and helping." Nick and Fenrir are right behind us.
When we enter the bridge I see Anakin being choked then thrown across the room.
"Ah, mandalorians, haven't seen one for quite a while." Says a voice. I turn my head and see its owner. I nearly shit myself, it was a red alien with short spikes coming out of his head, he had metal legs. There was another alien next to him, except that he is pale yellow and has a metal arm.
"Hello mandalorians, I knew you were famous for being mercenaries, but working for Jedi? That's a bit disgraceful don't you think?"
"We ain't working for anybody." I yell back. I point to Anakin on the floor, "Especially not him"
"Well then, it seems that my brother, Savage, and I are in need of some extra hands. Would you care to accept?" he asks extending his left hand to me.
"What do you think Nick?" I ask. "Should we?"
"Are you crazy Tristan? Look at them! They've nearly killed those two guys!" he says pointing to Anakin and Windu. "And you want to join them?"
"What have they done for us? He flipped me and she stabbed me!" I tell him
"I'm staying" Nick says adamantly
"Okay then, friends?" I say holding out my hand. He looks at me solemnly "Always." He says quietly.
I turn and walk towards Savage and the red guy.
"Looks like you two have an extra pair of hands."
