Mandalore
The planet Mandalore is the home of the notorious Mandalorians who are the renowned Jedi killers and also the perfect bounty hunters who can get the job done.
On a remote settlement which holds some of the fiercest and Retired Mandalorians soldiers.
"Arms up son" the taller man with darkened tanned skin instructs his son how to fight unarmed combat.
"What's the use father? I would be doomed if I have lost my weapon in the midst of battle." The son replied showing great annoyance on his inability to fight unarmed.
His father shook his head knowing that his son have much to learn "You must know that you are not weapon less, you must see that your body is the most dangerous weapon that any soldier wield"
They trained from dawn till dusk until their bodies gave in but the strength of the Mandalorians proves great for even a mere soldier would collapse of exhaustion.
"You done me proud son, through a short time you achieved more they I can at the age 13. You will have a makings of a true Mandalore" He patted his son on the back and they travelled home feeling exhausted but fulfilled that their training and preparation has purpose.
"Father is it weak to show such emotions like Love?" The son questioned.
His father stood still thinking about the answer "No son it is not weak to show Love, if we are loveless beings we wouldn't be Mandalore at all, it drives us to be who we are combined with the honour of battle, it gives us one more reason to fight once more, to protect who we love," He looked into his son's eyes with a stern look. "But I must warn you, there will come a time where we will be forced to choose between our honours or to be with your loved one, I chose that choice to be with your mother when she gave birth to you, but then I am at my prime and earned a good retirement."
"Do you miss the honour of battle and the sound of victory?"
"Yes son I do, I miss the sound of war cries, the enemy kneeling before us trembling in fear when they cast upon to see our glory, but them days are longed passed and I have found purpose to train you in combat of old and to see you as my legacy, Jango, you are named after one of the greatest Mandalorian who was under the wing of another greatest Jaster mereel."
Jango knew about the greatest Mandalorian and he also know he became the most notorious bounty hunter in the galaxy and he still kept true to being Mandalorian. As they set foot over the horizon, fear cast upon their faces, their settlement is set ablaze with roaring fire being seen for miles.
They rushed into the blazing settlement intending to search for survivors but the father is more determined to save his dear wife who is trapped within the house.
"I am here!" screamed he is wrought with fear but he muster his courage to dive in to save her.
"Separatist and republic soldiers suddenly erupted within and with Jango caught within the middle dashed to the burning house.
"FATHER" Jango looks on helplessly trying to remove any wreckage, straining to reach them.
"NO my son, leave us, for we do not wish you to perish."
Jango still tried to reach out for them but the roof started to collapse.
"You are my legacy, remember." As he said the roof collapse upon them and all what remained is the crackling fire. Jango looked on with anger as the battle rages on but he does not care, he picked up a nearby rifle off a dead clone and started to fight as his legacy demands it to be so.
Through the training he has been taught he fell a few droids and a few clones which grabs the attention and curiosity of a Jedi in the midst of battle, his robes are white yet not cloaked and his white hood stood over his head, his piercing blue eyes watches the young Mandalorian with great interest, then he suddenly snaps out of it and rushed to aid the young one from further harm, the battle was swift when he came into the fray and so it ended the droid forces defeated Jango stands bloodied and collapse to the floor out of realization he have lost his family.
The Jedi came over and pity came to his face. "What is your name young warrior?"
Jango looked up and said nothing, nothing was to be said for those to come and destroy everything he held dear. The Jedi held out his hand but Jango refuses and curse in Mandalore.
The Jedi looked at him and back to the house. "I am so sorry, come with me and I will help you"
"I do not need your help" Jango shot back in anger "Why have you come to this place when we have done no wrong to you? Why would you destroy everything so dear to me?" I can't cry, I won't cry, it is a sign of weakness.
The Jedi looked on with sad expression "At least let me take you to the capital where you would be safe, after that you will not ever see me again and our paths separated."
Jango accepted his offer and when they arrived at the capital they parted ways and Jango will remember the Jedi's kindness, as he walks he sees in his mind the house burning down and his father's face flashes away from his eyes.
"FATHER" screamed Jango, he looks around and seeing he is in his ships sleeping compartment, damn I fell asleep again, Jango got up sweating and feeling hot, he hates it when he have that same dream over and over again but it reminds him where he comes from but he is lost in thought that he is not like his father, he is a bounty hunter a pretty damn good one as well.
Never have he failed the hunt, that's what he thinks to himself the Glory of the hunt and he loves every bit of it because it hones his skills into a perfect killing machine.
He walks to the bridge of his ship and see a holo recording on standby and presses play.
"Greetings Bounty Hunter, I am emperor Palpatine new ruler of this empire, I have a bounty for each confirmed dead Jedi for 1 million credits per head and these two targets I want dead or alive and I will set you up for a life time beyond your dreams but be careful not to underestimate them"
Jango looked at the portraits of the two most wanted bounties but one of them grabs his attention.
The Jedi he had met three years ago.
"Well well. 1 million credit per Jedi and the chance to capture or kill these two and be set up for life."
Jango punched into the last coordinates where the two was last seen, he looks at the two again and thinks back to the time where the Jedi saved him from certain death, but sadly he regrets for what he is about to do, for he promised to repay his kindness but it's his job to complete the bounty when he accepts the job. He looks back and smiles.
"Oh well, It's the Love of the Hunt." He punches the engine button and hit hyperspace to Coruscant.
