Chapter 10

Alright so time for Sev Fett to come in so thanks again for letting me use your OCs buddy!

Sami looked around quickly as she stepped down the loading ramp flanked by Jason and Afishee. She hadn't been back to Mandalore since she left to fight the war, almost four years ago. She knew that this was their only hope to find Jedi, which was, unless he was dead, or if he escaped by himself. Either option was a valid theory. Sami turned around to be visor to face with Deliah. "You get Jaster to a medcenter, I'll go get help from a friend."

"Alright, I'm gonna need some help though," Deliah replied. Jason's head shot up before adding, "I got it, don't worry, Jaster will get there just fine."

"Fine," Sami said, "You've been to Mandalore before?"

"Yeah plenty, I know where to go, c'mon babe, let's go save Jaster then it's you and me, all night long." Jason walked back up the loading ramp followed by a giggling Deliah. Sami whispered to Ita, "Make sure they don't do anything stupid, will ya?"

"I was planning to ask you that ma'am," He replied before following the other. "Oh one more thing, don't call me ma'am, its awkward."

"Yeah, sorry Sami. You're going where ever you're going alone?"

"Well the only one still here is Scar and he's afraid of six Mandalorians, let alone a whole planet. He'll just watch the ship." Afishee nodded before he disappeared up the loading ramp leaving Sami alone. She ran off, through the cramped and polluted streets of Keldabe, remembering every marker, every building, everything. It was then when she realized that over the years at war she had become homesick. Although none of that really mattered compared to why she was there. She needed to help Jedi, because she knew he'd do the same for her.

After an hour or so of searching through the city she finally did find a speeder bike that was available for use and speed through the jungle undergrowth of her homeworld to Kyrimorut. As soon as she reached the outskirts of the stronghold she was stopped by one of the many patrols ensuring Death Watch terrorist or the Empire couldn't touch anyone inside. The man in blood spattered armor asked in a gruff voice, "Well? Are you going to say what you're doing here?"

"Yeah, I'm need to find Sev Fett and his wife Tawny, I need them to help me with something."

"Who's asking," Sev replied before bringing his finger a bit closer to his trigger and raising his guard a bit more. "Mind telling who you are?"

"Sev," Sami took off her helmet as she recognized Sev's voice, "It's me Sami? Remember?"

"Oh," He lowered his guard, "Su cuy'gar Sami."

"Su cuy'gar Sev, jii liser mhi haa'taylir Tawny? Ni linibar kaysh gaa'taylir balyc."

"Elek, shekemir ni." With that he stormed off to his hut followed closely behind by Sami. They found Tawny outside and as soon as she saw see she walked over and kissed him. Then she noticed Sami. "Sami! I haven't seen you in awhile, staying alive I see?"

"Yeah, well, not for long at the rate I'm going."

"We'll see about that. So what brings you back home?"

"I need help and you two were the only ones that I could think of that could help."

"Well what is it?" Tawny asked. Sami nervously rubbed the back of her neck, "Well, Jedi, he kinda…"

"Osik," Sev cursed, "What he do now?"

"He stayed behind to let us get away from Coruscant and we need to go back and find him and I don't think the rest of the squad and the few others we picked up can really help us on their own."

"Not again," Sev mumbled, "he's playing hero again isn't he?"

"Well playing isn't the term I'd use but yeah, I guess. Doesn't that sound a bit negative?"

"Hey, he's my vod, except sometimes he does things I can never understand, the worst thing is that it comes naturally to him and he isn't trying to be a hero," he sighed. "Stuck in the heart of Imp power, what will he think of next?"

"Well he did save the rest of us," she replied. Sev chuckled, it reminded him of the Clone Wars, "So you need us to save him from a few plastic boys? He should be fine against them."

"Well-err-not just them…there's-Well that hut'uun you and he saved me and Tawny from and I think Vader's involved somehow." Sev let out a tirade of swears, "Great, that's great. That chaakar and Vader are stuck in this? Skirata, why do you have to be the hero?"

"It's the right thing to do."

"Yeah well he takes good vs. evil too far sometimes," Sev made a depressed looked at Tawny then down before finishing, "I'm sorry Sami, those two bastards probably killed him."

"What? Sev, he's alive, he…he…he can't be dead," she looked helplessly at Sev, "You have to help me!"

"Sami, even Skirata can't hold Vader off by himself. I'm sorry but I doubt he'd survived."

"No, I…I would have felt something…"

"Sami how could you! You're didn't get that curse, I know what you're going through," he looked at Tawny, "I've almost lost someone I've loved but what can we do?"

"Sev, we can't give up on him like this!"

"It's hopeless!" He yelled before mumbling solemnly, "udes o'r mirjahaal ner vod."

"You're giving up these easily!" she screamed back, "We can't lose hope! Did Jedi ever lose hope for you? Did he? What about Order 66?"

"Don't say anything about that!" He snapped back, he never had gotten this angry at her, "You…you don't know anything about that! Get lost! Now!"

"Look, maybe I should apologize except he needs your help," she put her helmet on before starting to walk away, "But if you won't I still will."

With that Sami stormed away leaving Sev alone with Tawny. She gave him a reproachful stare, "Why didn't you help her?"

"I'm not going on a suicide mission to save a dead man and leave you alone."

"I'd come too. Besides she is probably right about Jedi being alive." Sev rolled his eyes, "Really? How could Skirata somehow tell her across the galaxy that he was alive?"

"Well…" Tawny whispered something in Sev's ear and he swore. He asked, "Great her too? Why do the people I like all have that?" Tawny shrugged then asked, "Cyar'ika, does it really matter? She's doing the right thing and even if you are right we should give Jedi a decent ceremony."

Sev sighed. He knew what he had to do. "For starters my decision is final," he began. That was a bad start to things but Tawny just nodded. Sev continued, "Get some gear, we're going out there."

Meanwhile Sami returned to the hanger, head hung in failure. She wasn't entirely sure how she could pull this off but she would somehow she kept telling herself. Afishee stood next to her, the last one waiting outside as a light rain began to fall. He started, "Well Jaster's going to be fine. Wanted to come with us actually, somehow the medic and doc let him, he's on the ship."

"Good, he's a good guy; we need all the help we can get anyway." She looked down and kicked some dirt. Ita continued, "which brings me to my next question, are you alright?"

"I will be when Jedi is," she replied. He then asked, "You sure you can do this, I mean still fit to lead."

"You want to?" she looked at him. He backed up, "No, just wondering, I mean…"

"Protocol, I know. Yeah I think I'm fine." She looked ahead, hoping the Force was on her side. Then she saw two figures emerging. Ita and Sami drew their blasters. "Undesii," Sev said as his fully emerged, helmet in hand and deece hanging from his GAR issued uniform. Sami just stared at him in welcome disbelief, "You…you came," she stuttered. He laughed, "Yeah-well, I'd like some more fun, and Tawny here," he motioned to his wife standing next to him, "makes a convincing argument."

"Thanks, both of you, it means a lot to us," She replied. He just shook his head, "No need to thank us, it's the right thing to do, and I want Skirata to owe me a favor." Sami just grinned, now they would save Jedi, she knew it. They walked up the loading ramp and prepped for lift-off. "Well, I guess it's time to ask, but who's in charge?" Fett asked openly.

Jason thrusted a thumb toward Sami and Ita said, "Sami's in charge of the squad if for any reason Jedi's KIA or MIA."

Then the co-ordinates were in place and the jump to hyperspace was underway. "Sami, are you thinking of a plan in how to get Skirata out of there?" Sev asked.

"Uhh-not yet, but since when do plans work out fully?" Sami replied with a small puntual smile.

"Here's the plan, then-I'll take Afishee and Dosii and cause a distraction at the front door, it isn't the greatest idea in the galaxy but it's a shot and Dosii can blow a bunch of osik up so he'll be happy," Jason grinned and made a fist pump. Sev ignored him then continued, "While you and Tawny go through the back and find Skirata and trust me, there will be a back door, no matter how hard it will be to find." Sev said, remembering the days on countless worlds, taking out sepratist targets and readying the battlefield.

They nodded, Sami thought that it seemed almost perfect...except for the fact that Jason, Ita and Sev might not get out alive. Ita then added, "You sound so natural with the plans; you ever done this type of thing before?" Sev nodded and said, "Did Skirata ever tell you he wasn't always a squad leader?"

"No," Jason chimed in, "We thought he just materialized from the Force and decided to kick everyone's ass, except mine of course, only the ladies have that. Although it makes sense actually, I mean he never talks about the Clone Wars."

"Well," Sev laughed, "you kind of described Anakin Skywalker, and Skirata could really be like you, Jason," Jason smiled then butt in, "Yes! I'm going to be awesome!"

"…A pain in the shebs." Sev turned around and walked out of the cockpit mumbling, "and don't worry, he still is."

"Well, could you elaborate on the story about Jedi not always being a squad leader, then?" Jason said.

"After we rescue his shebs from behind enemy lines, Dosii." Sev said, getting that old adrenaline rush.

Notes:

If you've played The Force Unleashed (great game btw, play it) and trying my hardest not to spoil the Rebel Alliance is official formed at the end in 2 BBY. My story here takes place in 2 ABY and our Mandalorian idiots are devoted to the Rebel cause so I'm probably going to explain later that they enlisted as soon as they could so they've probably been fighting the war since the beginning; four years.

Keldabe-capital of Mandalore.
