Harry Potter and the Mandalorian Saboteur
I own nothing
XXI
The trap had been set. The ground was rigged and now the Mandalorians were positioned in makeshift, but stable firing positions. These positions had been dug into the cliff, in pillars and even dug outs on the cliff edge, covered in quite literally a cloth.
This is what it meant to be a Mandalorian; to it in position for up to weeks on end and wait. Wait for the target and then hit it, and hit it with fury only a Mandalorian possessed. That was the way. "This is the way, everyone."
"This is the way." Came the reply; the other Mandalorians nodded to themselves, Jetti Potter-Wren should have been born a Mandalorian however, making him one was a better idea.
"They're coming." Was Sabine's call and true enough they saw the four TIE Fighters first, with their loud screeching and quite frankly cheap production frames and engines.
"Hunters, take your time and pick your dates."
"I've got busty blonde." Came the call from the Rook Mando
"I've got eyes on the red-head." Was call from the Kryze
"Brunette's smoking." Was another.
"And the dark-haired mystery is mine." Called Sabine and sure enough, four shots echoed around the canyon trap and all four TIEs were hit. Unfortunately, the shots weren't into the centre piece where the pilot was located; however, they did get the wings or the joint and as a result coupled with gravity and poor navigational skills the Fighters collided with either each other or the canyon.
Then came the outriders, there were more than anticipated but so far everything was happening as planned. Which in Harry's opinion was a scary thing "Bridger to Potter."
"Send message. What is it?"
"Kanan wants to know when we're doing the extraction."
"He'll know. He'll know the location, when it happens as that is the way."
"That is the way."
The moment Harry, finished his message he was heralded by a series of a explosions "Mando's…Move out…Let's get this done." With that the Stormtroopers in the convoy who had rushed out at the moment of the explosions were caught off guard as Harry jumped out of hiding and dropped his weight onto a Stormtrooper. The Stormtrooper had no chance; as his armour wasn't designed to take this much blunt force impact.
"Hey! RADIO…!" Began the Stormtrooper sergeant, only for Harry to decapitate him with his lightsaber. The other members of Team descended into the canyon. They were equipped with everything from twin Westar 35 Pistols, and rifles. Although two, had vibroblades and another was carrying a XYZ Rotating turret.
Harry flicked his fingers and the doors to the transporters ripped open "Scour and check. We leave no Mandalorian behind."
"That is the way."
Harry snorted, that phrase seemed to apply to everything and it seemed that the younger Mandalorians were obsessed with making it the mandatory response to all orders.
"Wren to Jetti Potter-Wren." Sabine called.
"Yes, love."
"Did you find him?"
"Aye, I've got him…I'll call in a sec…Duke Alrich Wren?" Harry asked.
Alrich looked around dazedly "You are?"
"An old friend and now family. Brace yourself, we're going up." And with that Harry ignited the jetpack. They landed soon enough, although Alrich more unsteadily than Harry; Aldrich looked like he was about to keel over, when his rescuer had his arm in front of him to stop him from falling over. "Your Grace; Your Lady Wife will skin me most profusely should you meet her with any more wear and tear than presently."
Aldrich chuckled at that, now adjusting to the fresh and bracing air of outside. He looked at the Mandalorian, and his eyes widened. The iconography and symbology were definitely something akin to his daughter's work. He took this moment to study it; the sigil of Krownest and House Wren was definitely apparent but on the cuirass but beneath two crossed lightsabers.
Aldrich, fought with his art. He remembered his studies and sculpting of dioramas and life sized sculptures of Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders, and the Mandalorian Knights. "Thank you, Mandalorian Knight of House Wren, to which of my kinsmen am I speaking?"
Aldrich watched as the Mandalorian Knight, chuckled. Soon enough he was joined by another. This one in flamboyantly coloured armour, this one removed her helmet revealing herself "Sabine…What on earth…"
Sabine smiled sheepishly "Father…It is good to see you." Aldrich, watched as she tapped the Mandalorian Knight on the shoulder.
The two stared at one another, before the Mandalorian Knight removed his helmet. Aldrich found himself looking at the unaged face of Harry Potter. "Harry Potter…Jetti Master and now Jetti Mandalorian. Ursa, brought you into the clan I see."
"Yes and no. She adopted me in, but via Sabine." Aldrich shook his head.
"I couldn't pick a better person myself, but what's happening?"
"Manda'lor, decree's the Empire have outstayed there welcome. Currently we are few; but once we reveal what is happening with Darksaber…then Mandalorian Space should get their act together."
"You do know…"
"Of course, I do. Mandalorians don't follow orders, you can only advise them with sensible ideas to hear…but since when do we, decide whether something is sensible or not?"
Just then Harry felt a presence in the force. He turned, and found himself looking at thirteen figures. One of whom he immediately recognised as Revan "Revan, First Mandalorian Knights…"
The spectral images, nodded in one "Knight Potter…We offer you two pieces of advice. The first is you represent change, brutal and unforgiving change, but change no matter the form is change. Trust in your family and in the force and with that you will succeed."
Revan spoke last "Beware the unknown regions, seek out the Csilla and her territory. Exegol, is Exegol is important…We can't give you much but Scariff, Yavin 4, Endor, Ahch-To and Exegol. Remember them, remember our advice and Mandalore shall rise again. Go with Peace, Knowledge, Serenity, Passion, Power and Strength…Let the Galaxy, know Mandalore returns."
"Do you regret what you did? All of you?" Harry asked.
"No. We firmly believed and still believe that the Republic of Old and now this Empire; needs to be torn down and the Status Quo remade. However, we are sorry for how we went about it. We will not apologise for our goals and our views but admit we could have done better with the administration of our plans." Announced the Original Mandalorian Knights.
Revan sighed and removed the mask, revealing a thin aristocratic face with piercing green eyes and long black hair. Harry gulped; it was like "Looking in the mirror of your female self? Don't be surprised, I'm as shocked as you are." Revan replied giggling at Harry's pole-axed expression.
"Take it from me, things are only going to get much, much harder from here on out. Have faith and remember those Planets, and prepare. Talk to the surviving Jedi, tell them of the oncoming storm. None, can be found wanting or waiting. Beware of the one called Moff Gideon…Also, take this." As Revan faded away, she handed him a mask. As Revan faded from sight and Harry's feeling in the force
Harry nodded and turned back to the Wren's to find Ezra and Kanan joining them "What happened here? Harry, what's that?"
"Revan happened. When the Mandalorians attacked the Republic, Revan led the charge back against them. It was under his former Revan's friends orders, a powerful and dangerous Jedi Padawan by the name of Meetra Surik, who devastated Malachor Five."
Ezra gulped "Didn't you say you did acts on par with Malachor Five?"
Harry nodded "Aye; those places are known as 'Wounds'…" His eyes hardened as he fixed his eyes on Ezra, who suddenly found himself being pushed towards the rock "…Your desire to destroy the Sith, is not possible. You'll probably cause a Wound much greater than I ever did, ever could. Don't think you can heal it…the only way for it leave, is for it to lead its own journey."
By now the rest of the Mandalorian reserves had met them, Aldrich had been ferried back to the Krownest and the Mandalorians headed towards the Watchtower. Listening to the comms, it was cut off "Something's happening! LOOK OUT!"
Harry, concentrated on the force and looked east. Suddenly, a blinding white light appeared followed by a wave of pure energy. Sabine paled "What…have…I done."
