Chapter 4

I really need to update Fanfiction more often -_- Ah well enjoy, please review, ect.

"Fierfek," Jason muttered as he watched a mob of natives of Tython emerge from the bushes to assault the squad. He efficiently grabbed his blaster and began to methodically fire into the oncoming wave of attackers. His fellow commandos instantaneously had joined, except for Jedi Commando. Jedi, had, rather ironically drawn a lightsaber instead of his blaster and charged into the fray, green blade and Mandalorian battle prowess carving a path of destruction. Jason muttered, "Where the hell did Jedi get a lightsaber?"

"Did you even listen to what you said," Sami replied as she ducked to avoid being impaled by a flying axe, "I mean, Jedi with a lightsaber?"

"Not really," Jason reloaded before smashing the butt of his rifle into one of the more daring native's head and replying, "And what the hell are these things?!"

"A welcoming committee."

"I do enjoy warm receptions," Jason stated as he instantly lobbed and thermal detonator into a crowd of attackers. After the explosion chaos ensued. The explosion stunned the natives, and they were sent scurrying in utter shock. Jason laughed loudly, "They blow up real good!"

Jedi continued to carve through those still brave enough to fight, while the rest of the squad followed Jason's lead and used their grenades to scatter their carnal foes. Soon the Mandalorians had prevailed and as the last surviving attackers began to flee back into the Tythonian forests Jedi switched off his lightsaber and began to chase after one. As the native reached the edge of the clearing Jedi overheard Ita yelling after him, "Sir! Sir it's not proper procedure…"

"Shove it!" Jedi replied over his shoulder as he leapt over a bush and chased the attacker into the jungle. A tunnel vision engulfed the commando, as he chased after the native through an unfamiliar terrain. Branches and native fauna stuck across the Mandalorian's helmet, but he would not be slowed. It didn't take him long until he had enough and launched his jetpack into a charging tackle against his foe bringing them both to the ground. The native attempted to fight back, only to have the commando stick his gauntlet blade to the native's throat. Jedi asked forcefully, "Why did you attack my squad."

The native just gurgled incoherently, probably an insult, Jedi couldn't entirely be sure with a language he didn't understand. The creature he had defeated was an ugly beast, with rawhide flesh and razor sharp teeth. Its appearance showed it to be hell-bent on destruction. It was rather large and foreboding, not that it scared the Force-Sensitive Mandalorian, it took quite a terror to unnerve one such as Jedi.

"I'm going to ask one more time, why did you attack me?" Jedi motioned with his free hand to make his intention more clear. The native continued in the tongue Jedi couldn't understand. He cursed, "Fierfek, Basic, do you speak it?!"

The native just remained silent before muttering, "Jetaii."

"Jetaii?" Jedi repeated then pointed to himself, "Jetaii?"

"Jetaii," the native nodded. Jedi had discovered Jetaii meant Jedi, not a surprise given the Jedi Order's homeworld would have natives that had a word for them. He also took this assault to mean the natives didn't take kindly to Jedi Knights, and even though he was far from a Jedi Knight, Jedi Commando knew the fact he brandished a lightsaber hadn't done much to endear himself with his foes. He released the native and outstretched his arm in the direction the native was running before ordering curtly, "Go."

The native ran off, leaving Jedi to return to the ship alone. He reached the clearing to see the rest of his band of rebels engaging in conversation after the ones who had stayed on the ship had disembarked after hearing the chaos. Sami was the first to notice him as she began, "Having fun on your adventure?"

"I'd prefer you to come on it," Jedi stated as he brushed dirt of his shoulder. Jason clapped sarcastically, "Way to go you've just won a marathon against an ugly alien who wants to kill us!"

"You mean Davik?" The squad burst out into laughter. Jason muttered, "Damn it I should've used that, Kandosii sir."

"With all due respect," Ita stated, "I really think we should figure out what just happened and how we can defend ourselves."

"I agree," Jaster concurred, "It's probably not in the squad's best interest to stay where the natives can find us."

"For starters can anyone even tell me what the hell they are?" Jedi asked. Jason added, "It's a question that's been burning like something else I've got."

"Why did I come," Scar muttered before shaking his head in despair, "I should've realized the kriffin Mandalorians would get me killed on their damn crusade."

"No time like the present for regrets," Jason smirked, "If you do go can we keep the ship?"

"Ok let's figure out what we're fighting before we fight each other," Jaster re-instated order. He pointed over to a dead native, "I took a DNA sample from one of the attackers Jason and Jedi were nice enough to keep intact. I ran it through the ship's databank."

"We have a databank?" Jason asked. Scar nodded, "What do you think I don't hide with Mandalorians in style?"

"Please listen to Jaster I'm dying of anticipation," Jedi replied. Jaster continued, "Apparently they're Flesh raiders, aptly named I'm guessing. That was basically all we got."

"So we need to figure out how stay alive?" Jedi asked. Jaster nodded, "I think it's safe if we take off and stay in orbit."

"Great idea," Deliah interjected sarcastically, "Let's leave the Flesh raiders and go back with dealing with crackshot imps."

"It's better than getting our throats cut in our sleep." Jaster yelled back. Deliah rolled her eyes, "Look I," she then drew one of her blasters in a flash and fired past Jaster into a bush. A flesh raider fell out dead. She twirled her blaster around before blowing off the barrel and holstering it, "Sorry you missed one."

"So to be clear," Jedi began, "We can either A, get killed by Flesh raiders or B, get killed by imps."

"What happened to getting killed by some evil force spirit," Sami stated, "I was kind of hoping for that one."

"Or that," Jedi added. Jaster nodded, "Basically."

"Ok well I think," Jedi stated, "the flesh raiders are neither smart nor technologically advanced so I think it's safer to lock the doors and hope they don't have blasters."

"They don't," Jason said, "They're trying to compensate for something."

"Nice observation," Sami replied, "Anyway I agree with Jedi, better the Flesh Raiders than Imps. Besides we don't even know if the imps are still out there, at least we can see the Flesh Raiders so we can fight them. Besides we're wise cracking Mandalorians, well two of us are, Jedi Mandalorians."

"If this all goes downhill," Ita stated factually, "We can just follow the rules and disappear into the woods."

"Exactly," Jedi began before beginning to saunter off back into the brush, "Kani, Rossas, Capono, watch the ship. Dosii, Ita, Meshla, come with me. Let's get this over with."

"I have a good feeling about this," Sami muttered as the trio Jedi had selected to follow him began to continue after. Jason replied with a bit of sarcasm, "Really?"

"Nope," she replied. Jedi overheard her and added, "But that's what makes it fun?"

"Hell yeah," Jason and Sami replied. Afishee Ita muttered, "Oh no, not again."

Notes:

Ahh, yes my nonstop swtor play has finally lent itself into a story usefully :) Also, Tython was a pretty cool planet in that game.

Kandosii-Awesome

Kriffing-not Mando'a but it is a Star Wars curse
