Prologue:

The dusk was approaching, though no one can tell it from there. In the streets of Coruscant underworld, lighting only by the building lights.

An mysterious individual wearing a dark cloak, walks by several individuals unnoticed. The underworld was a haven for bounty hunters, pirates and criminal gangs. Navigating through it is no easy task.

But at the exact moment, it was necessity. The Individual was not a civilian. It was someone with a task at hands.

A local bar was the destination that the individual was seeking. The bar was filled with nothing but skun. As the individual made his way to a table where a certain Zabrak was sitting.

The individual sat down and removed the cloak that was covering it's face. Revealing itself to be a woman.

"Is it done?" The Zabrak asked her.

The woman reached her pocket and show him a medallion. The meddalion had a symbol on it.

The Zabrak burst into laughter. "Your reputation seems to be well deserved." He spoke in a jovial tone. "They say that you're the greatest bounty hunter in the whole galaxy, and honestly, I agree with them." He touches her shoulder. "I asked several other really expensive bounty hunters but you were the only one who accept it."

"Spare me from the empty praise and give me the rest of our agreement." The woman replied very coldly while giving him a very intimidating stare with her silver eyes..

The smile at the Zabrak's face was quickly replaced by a slightly frightened one. He gulped the cup that he was drinking off before speaking. "Why the hurry? Have a drink first." He tried to argue.

"My payment, now!" That was her response. "Or I'll just take you as payment instead, since the bounty on your head can cover part of what you own me." She threatened him.

"How did you... it doesn't matter." He replied. "Listen, if you just wait a few more minute- AAAHH!" Before he could finish what he was going to say, she grabbed his head and smashed on the table that they were sitting on. Then she pointed a heavily modified Blaster towards his head.

"If you're really stupid enough to call me here without having my credits. I don't know how did you survived all this long." She aimed the blaster towards his right eye.

Everyone else on the bar, ignored what was happening as this wasn't the first or last time that something like this occurred.

"P-please don't, I know something that is going to interest you." He spoke in fear.

"Speak then." She told him in a low voice.

"Someone asked me to give you that Bounty." He responded her.

She made a confused face. "Who?"

"Let him go!"

Before she could get an answer, he heard someone yelling at her. She turned her gaze to see who was it. In front of the table in the middle of the bar, there were two cloaked individuals. One was men and the other was a teenage boy.

Both removed their hoods that were covering their heads. The man was a Human, around thirty years old with brown hair. The teenage boy was a young Chiss.

"I am Jedi Master, Roan Shryne." The man presented himself. "You're Nebula Starkiller."

"Thanks for stating the obvious." She replied sarcastically. "What do you want?"

"We're here to arrest you!" The Chiss boy yelled.

"Patience, Zore." Roan told the boy. "You're wanted by the accounts of too many crimes to even count, come peacefully an-" Before the Jedi could finish what he was saying, Nebula shoot the Zabrak on the eye, making a hole on it. He falls dead on the floor instantly.

The boy named Zore made a shocked expression. "Why did you do that?!" He asked her.

"Because he tried to double cross me." She answered. "Or are you gonna tell me that he wasn't the one who called you two here?" She asked as she pointed her blaster at them.

There was no answer from them. "Come peacefully and we can resolve this without the need of bloodshed." Roan told her.

"I have a better idea, you two can go back to your Jedi Temple and we can resolve this situation without the need of me, having to waste my time killing the two of you." She spoke in a very cold voice.

"She's arrogant, we can defeat her right here, Master." The boy told the man.

As they all talked, several of the people that were drinking on the bar, made their way out. Probably a smart decision.

"Calm down, don't let your-" Whatever the Jedi Master was gonna say to the boy, was interrupted by a flash.

It turns out that, as Nebula was speaking to them, she reached a flash grenade that she had on her belt and toss it when the Jedi got distracted. She covered her eyes when the flash appeared, but the Jedi and his apprentice weren't as quick. As the two were temporarily blind from the flash, Nebula was quick to shoot at the Jedi, which landed on his shoulder.

The Apprentice tried to activate his lightsaber, but Nebula was quicker and delivered a jump side kick to his stomach, making him smash into a nearby table.

Before any of the two could stand up, she made her way towards the exit. Nebula was in no condition to face a Jedi, she was out of grenades, her flamethrower about run out, and her jet pack was damaged. All from the Bounty that the Zabrak gave her.

The moment she stepped outside of the bar, she quickly used the fibercord whip with a grappling hook on her left gauntlet, to launch on the rooftop of the building in front of her. She used the motorized pulley system that she herself created to quickly pull her into the rooftop.

Unfortunately, the Jedi and his apprentice also left the bar and started to persuit her.

Nebula grabbed a comlink from her belt and spoke on it. "Prepare to take off." She put it back on her belt and started to run.

She arrived at the edge of the rooftop that she was in and jumped into the roof of the building besides the one that she was in.


She kept on jumping from roof to roof until she got close enough to where her ship was located. Nebula used her grappling hook to swing past a street until she arrived at the back alley where she hid her ship.

But unfortunately, as she walked into the direction of her ship, which was hidden by a very advanced cloaking device. She was surprised by a sound, the sound that a lightsaber makes when it's activated.

She turned around and saw both the Jedi and the Apprentice standing side by side. Roan had a green lightsaber, while Zore had a yellow one.

"Nebula Starkiller, this is your last warning, come peacefully or we'll be forced to attack." Roan warned her.

Nebula only delivered a smirk in response before speaking. "You two are sincerely so stupid to think that the two of you will be able to take me." She gave a few steps to the left slowly. "I fought giant creatures, experienced soldiers, advanced battle droids and several Jedi like yourselves." The smirk on her face dissapered and was replaced by a stoic expression. "I don't have a habit of killing boys, so, take your Apprentice and leave." She warned Roan.

Both of them got into a fighting stance.

"You brought this on yourselves then." It was all that she said. "NOW!" She yelled very loud.

Before any of the two had a chance to react, out of nowhere, a ship appeared in front of them. And in less than a second, it started to fire a hundred shots at them. The two ran their separate ways, in order to try to evade it. Unfortunately, the shots decided to follow the Apprentice, who tried to outrun them. But he fails.

Zore receives an overwhelming number of laser shots on him. Which cut through him like blades, leaving his lifeless body on the ground.

"NO!" Roan yelled as he witnesses the gruesome death of his apprentice.

Nebula looked at the boy's lifeless body as well. "Poor kid, killed by his master's stupidity." That comment seemed to have gotten through Roan, as he looked at Nebula with a very angry face. "Am I detecting anger?" She asked with a smile. "Isn't that against your Jedi code?" She mocked him. "Don't worry about anything, you're to become one with the force or... whatever you Jedi call it."

After Nebula said that, she grabbed a smoke grenade from her belt and tossed in front him. Which Roan jumped back in response, only to be greeted by several laser beans from her blaster.

Roan deflected the shots with his lightsaber, but as he was too busy deflecting them. Another grenade rolled out of the smoke at his direction. But this one, was a fragmentation grenades. It detonated on a somewhat less damaging distance, but it was close enough to make him fall back with his lightsaber flying off his hand.

Nebula then approaches him slowly with her blaster at hand. "This could have ended differently if you just followed my advice." She spoke to him. "Now, I have an jet pack, an helmet, and grenades to replace." She spoke in annoyance. "I hope this inconvenience that you caused me was worth it."

The female Bounty Hunter was about to end the Jedi Master's life. But the moment she was about to shoot him. He moved his hand foward, which pushed Nebula into a nearby wall, making her collide on it with a considerable force.

As she fall into the ground, stunned by what just happened. Roan used the force to pull his lightsaber back into his hands. He activates it and starts to walk towards Nebula slowly.

Nebula tries to stand up, but it was no use. She actually had a few injuries from the last Bounty which she still hasn't recovered and this sudden impact just caused them to start hurting again.

Soom enough, the Jedi got close enough. He then raised above his and prepared to strike her. "You're too dangerous, I can't let you live." He told her.

Nebula widened her eyes as the Jedi was about to kill her.

But... the moment he tried to strike down, his lightsaber was pulled out of his hand. Not by a hand, but by the force. Roan could feel it.

The Jedi Master turned around to see what pulled his lightsaber off his hands. To his shock, he saw a child holding his lightsaber. A child that looked just like the Bounty Hunter that he was about to kill.

"Hey." He heard her speaking. He turned back to look at her. Only to see her pointing her right arm at him. "One more inconvenience."

In a split second, Nebula used the flamethrower on her right gauntlet. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" He screamed in agony as the fire engulfed him. She used all the remaining fuel on Roan. Both she and the child watch as the Jedi Master, Roan Shryne, burns alive.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! AAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh..." Not long after, the screaming stopped, and the Jedi collapsed into the ground.

A short silence ensues.

"Neb," The silence was broken by Nebula calling the child that saved her. "Come here, son."

The boy was quick to obey, he dropped the lightsaber and approached his mother. Who sat up from the ground. "I told you to stay on the ship." She spoke with a angry face.

Neb looked down in a small shame.

But then she tenderly touched his face. "Good thing that you disobeyed me." She clarified with a smile.

Neb smiled back, before he spoke. "Are you okay?" He asked her.

"I'm gonna be better when we're far away from Coruscant." She stated. "Help me get to the ship."

Neb nodded, before grabbing his mother's arm and helping her get up. She leaned on him a bit to walk. It was a short distance until the ship, but it was still struggle. Once the two got close enough, Nebula let go of Neb. Then she looked back at what was left of Roan Shryne. "Neb, grab my blaster." She ordered him.

Neb nodded and went to pick the blaster that she dropped and then ran back to her. "Here."

She pointed at the burned corpse. "What do I always tell you?"

"Always make sure that whoever you face is dead, so he can't attack you later." Neb spoke with conviction.

"Exactly, shoot it." She ordered him.

Neb nodded, before pointing his mother's blaster at the Jedi. He shoot three times on it, if there was a chance of him being alive, they're gone now. Neb turned back and gave the blaster back to his mother.

"That's my boy," She grabbed the blaster and put it back on her holster.

Neb then looked at the lightsaber that he took it from the Jedi. He walks towards it and grabs it.

"You want it?" She asked him.

Neb turned around and nodded.

"Keep it then, it might come in handy." She told him with a smile. "Now, let's get out of here."

With that, both mother and son entered their ship and reactivated the cloaking device before flying away from Coruscant, leaving the corpses of both Jedi and Apprentice behind.
