Chapter 10: D'Nar vs UNSC

An hour after the arrival, James sat inside the Warthog as he studied an artifact from Installation 4. He soon began to remember the time he found it, back when he and John-117 were going after Captain Keyes.

Flashback:

"Alright, we are arriving now" Cortana says. John looks around, only to see he's upside down. He falls onto the floor, "Look, I'm new to this as you are. So it'll take a while" she says.

John was about to walk when he stops, "Where's James?" he asked. Cortana tracked him, "He should be-" she was interrupted by a knock. John looks around to see a dent in the wall, "A little help here?" James asked.

John shook his head as he peeled the wall open, "Geez Cortana, can you teleport us in a way that won't nearly kill us?" he asked. "Well, as I was telling your brother. I'm new to this, so it'll take a while" she says.

James shook it off as he pulled out his Shotgun, "Alright, how far is he?" he asked. "He's about 420 meters from us" she says. But as they began to run, James stops and picked up a crystal off the ground. "Come on James" John says from afar, James soon nods and follows them.

Present:

"Whatever is going on with me, I will find out soon" he says to himself. Soon Sally walks up to him, "Sir, someone is calling for you" she says. James gets out the vehicle, "Alright, let's move" he says.

As he arrived at the center, Obi-Wan looks at James. "Ah, Captain, someone wants to speak to you" he says, James looks at an android walks up to him.

Soon a hologram appears as a Cat-like man appears, "Well well, seems I've met the Commander of this Renegade unit. I would like to negotiate my surrender to you, alone" he says. James thinks about it, but as he thinks, Anakin used to force and crushes it.

"Zygarrian Scum, I will deal with that slaver myself" he says, "As much as I want you to do it, he calls for James and is asking to surrender" Obi-Wan says. Anakin growls as he walks away, "What's up with him? I have never seen this from him.." James says.

"Before we found him, he and his mother were slaves to the Hutt clan. We were only able to free him, but his mother died when he returned 10 years later" Obi-Wan says. James looks at Anakin, "I can see why he's been tensed" he says.

A half-hour later, James walks into the main office full of animals. Soon he walks near a big chair, on that chair was the Slaver. "James Forgo" he says, "How did you know my name?" James asked.

The man chuckled as he pets a bird, "I watch you from all corners of the galaxy. You could make a perfect slave" he says. "Who are you?" James asked, "Darts D'Nar, I'm the great supporter of the Zygarrian Empire. It was the greatest Empire ever made, until the Republic took it down" He says.

D'Nar then puts the bird in the cage, "But, with the Separatist help. The Empire can rise again" he added. James growls at him, "Maybe if I give you a message" D'Nar says as he pressed a trigger.

Outside, Adam flies by on his Booster Fighter as he checks out the area. Soon an explosion erupted in the center, destroying many Walkers and Warthogs in the area. "Sally, this is Adam, what's going on?!" he asked, Sally gets up as she looks around.

"Adam, several of our Marines are injured, a few are killed. The Republic has also faced casualties" she says.

Inside, James watched as his men are freaking out. He then turned to D'Nar, "You Bastard!" he says. "I have plenty more, now, surrender or die" D'Nar says.

"Over my dead body!" James says as he takes his sword out. D'Nar pulls out his shock whip, swinging it at James. The Captain blocks it, but D'Nar pulls his whip back.

Snatching James' sword from his hands, D'Nar then swings it again. James dodges the attack, he then pulls out his pistol. He fires a few times at the Zygarrian, only for his opponent to dodge it. James jumps to his sword, he then grabs it and got into a stance.

"You're a good fighter, but can you command your army?" he asked. He pulls out a trigger and pressed the button, only for it to click. When nothing happened, D'Nar pressed it again.

Nothing happens, James laughs at the Slaver. "What's so funny?" D'Nar asked, "We knew you have some special trick up your sleeve, so we disabled any item that can be used against us" James says. D'Nar growls as he readies his whip.

When he swings it, in slow motion, James grabs it by his hands and cut the cord with his sword. "WHAT!" D'Nar yelled, James smiles as he knocks him into the wall.

"Now, should we continue to talk about your surrender?" he asked, D'Nar growls but then laughs. "Smart boy, but, I have one left" he says as he grabs his Tactial Droid. "Sir, what are you doing?" it asked, "Shut up and be a good droid" he orders. After pressing some buttons, he throws it to James. James grabs it and throws it out the window, "Sally, are you alright?" he asked.

"Yes, our Pelicans are still evacuating injured Marines" she says, "Alright, Richard, I need you to grab a vehicle and capture the Slaver" he ordered. "On it, I'm after his ship now" he says.

Outside, a Freighter flies from the planet. D'Nar pets his bird as he pressed on the controls, "At least we have the Slaves we need, nothing is lost but th-" his ship shook.

He looks outside his cockpit, three Dropships and a Longsword chasing him. Soon the Pelicans fired missiles at the Engines as Richard flies his Longsword towards the ship, "I'm going in and taking him out" he says. He soon set the craft to autopilot, "Jumping out" Richard says as three ODSTs follow him.

They all jumped out and activated their jetpack, flying straight to the cockpit of the ship. Once they crashed in, D'Nar had his blaster ready, shooting at the Strike team.

Richard's team dodged the oncoming attack, Richard runs out and charges him. Only for a tentacle-like creature to attack him, the other ODSTs fired at it.

The Creature screeched as the ODSTs attacked it, "Keep it down, kill it now!" ODST Captain says. As the ODSTs attacked the creature, Richard and D'Nar were still fighting each other.

"You will not win, give up now!" D'Nar says, Richard smiles as he grabs his gun. He pushes D'Nar off and shot the creature through the eye, killing it quickly. He then switched out his pistol for his baton, hitting D'Nar, knocking him out.

Richard stands over him as the ODST Captain walked up to him, "Sir, the ship is secured. Along with all the animals and a single Twi-lek female" he says.

Richard turns to him, "Female? So he has a slave in here already, bring her here" he ordered. An ODST Sergeant carries a Slave bridal style, "Her legs are broken, breast is bruised, and her vaginal area..." she says.

Richard walks up to her, "Do you know where he was heading to?" he asked. The woman avoids looking at him. Richard turns her to him, "Don't worry, I'm here to save you, but I can't do that until you help me" he says.

"Zygarria, that's what I heard" She says. "Thank you" he says, he then pressed his helmet. "This is Lt. Richard, We have found a prisoner and located where the slaves could've been transported" He says. "Good, return to the ship and debrief" James says, "Roger that, on my way" Richard says.
