"So where are we heading?" Mirio asked
"My base" the Mandalorian said
"And where is that?" Denki asked
"You'll see once we're out of Hyperspace" the Mandalorian said before looking at Eri "Hey blondie, over in that crate you'll find some Meiloorun fruit jelly in there. I suggest you get some for the Youngling"
"And who are you to boss me around?" Denki asked
"My ship, my rules, my orders" the Mandalorian said "And you can get some for yourself and the rest of your friends" he said
"Thank you sir" Eri said as she started eating
"Everyone strap in we're here" the Mandalorian said
"At your base really?" Ochako asked as the U-Wing dropped out of Hyperspace directly in front of a medium size Star cruiser in front of them
"What is that doing here?" Mirio asked
"It's our base, Honour blade to base, I'm approaching starboard hangar" The Mandalorian said
"Roger that , lowering the shields, welcome home Honour Blade; I hope the hunt was a success" a voice said
"Where did you find this?" Denki asked
"My team and I discovered it on Mandalore and repaired it, now it acts as our home" the Mandalorian said
"Incredible, how do you prevent the Empire from finding you?" Denki asked
"Trade secret I'm afraid" the Mandalorian said as he entered the hangar.
"So how did it go?" a red haired young man wearing black monk robes said as the Mandalorian approached him
"Not badly, any trouble?" the Mandalorian asked
"Just some Rebels giving the Empire some trouble on Lothal" the monk said
"Very good, if they don't need our help we'll plot a course for somewhere other than here" the Mandalorian
"Oh by the way, she wants you down in engineering" the monk said
"Thank you, and square our guests away" the Mandalorian said
"Guests huh?" the monk said "Ah, I didn't see you there welcome abroad the Yuuei, I'm Eijiro Kirishima"
"Are you a Jedi?" Denki asked
"No, I'm a Guardian of the Whills" Eijiro said
"Who are they?" Eri asked sticking close to Ochako
"They were a race of people who were deeply connected with the Force" Eijiro said
"So what's his story" Mirio asked
"That is not my place" Eijiro said as he saw the Mandalorian duck around the corner.
"Mina, you around here?" the Mandalorian asked as he went to a weapon rack and placed his rifle on it before he turned around and placed a vibro-blade against the neck of a woman with pink skin, fuzzy pink hair, two horns on her head and deep golden eyes "Oh there you are Mina" he said delighted
"Damn right I am mister, and what is with the blade, I thought we talked about this" Mina said lowering the blade
"You surprised me is all" the Mandalorian said removing his armour and helmet reveal a head of short scraggly green hair, he turned around to look at Mina, his dark green eyes piercing into Mina's golden ones, he then placed his helmet on the workbench and captured Mina's lips in a fierce kiss before they broke apart
"I missed you Izuku" Mina said using the Mandalorian's real name
"So have I" Izuku said caressing her face tenderly
"So how many Jedi did you recover?" Mina asked
"Seven" Izuku said
"But weren't there eight?" Mina asked adjust her vest
"The eighth one died protecting the rest, there was an imperial Inquisitor" Izuku said
"Damn Inquisitors, they need to be stopped" Mina scowled
"And among them is a Youngling, she's padawan age as of now" Izuku said
"So who will teach her since their master was killed" Mina said
"I don't know maybe the Temple Guardian" Izuku said
"So you were a guardian of the temple?" Eijiro said
"I was" Mirio said "And Eri is the last remaining Youngling from the actual temple; I managed to smuggle her out when Master Skywalked started executing Order 66" he said bitterly
"I see" Eijiro said
"I don't think I can, I've only had knight level training but then I switched over to being a Temple guardian, I think one of the others could train her better; maybe even our Mandalorian friend"
"It's complicated, but I am not the one you must ask about it" Eijiro said
"I've tried but he hasn't given me an answer" Mirio said
"Maybe there is a way to find the answers you are looking for" Eijiro suggest making Mirio look surprised before he took a mediative form and started to slowly breathe. Eijiro smiled as he got u and walked away before looking back as he walked down to the engineering area.
"So where to next?" Mina asked as Eijiro walked in "Do we need to do a Jedah run?"
"Not yet, but we better stay in the ship since the Empire might be looking for us" Eijiro said
"So where to now?" Mina asked
"I have an idea" Izuku said as he put on his Mandalorian armour and walked out making the two look at each other
"So where is he going to head?" Mina asked
"I'm not sure, but it could have something to do with the Jedi" Eijiro said
"So A Mandalorian you say?" an Imperial Officer said
"Yes sir" a Stormtrooper said
"You do know Lord Vader will not be happy about this" the officer said
"Yes sir" the Stormtrooper said
"Also the fact you're alive is a bonus" a cool and suave voice said
"Grand Admiral Thrawn" the Imperial Officer said
"Easy there Captain" Thrawn said as the blue skinned Imperial Officer walked up to the two "Now tell me is this Mandalorian a Rebel supporter?"
"It's unclear sir since we only saw him before he walked away, an hour later we found the Inquisitor we were sent with...without her head sir" the trooper said
"I see, you are dismissed Trooper" Thrawn said as the trooper left the bridge, once he was gone the Captain turned to Thrawn "Is something wrong Captain?"
"You seem interested in this Mandalorian" the Captain said
"Oh I'm more intrigued then interested since I've heard of this particular Mandalorian going planet to planet recovering Jedi artefacts left behind or hidden during the purge" Thrawn said
"You really think this could be the same guy?" the captain asked
"It wouldn't surprise me" Thrawn said
"So" Mirio said as the Mandalorian was on the bridge looking at a holo-map "You never did clear things up"
"And why should I?" The Mandalorian asked
"Because you have the skills of a Jedi yet act like a Mandalorian" Mirio said
"You want to know my story; fine" The Mandalorian said "I'm going on a run to the planet Hypori"
"Why there?" Mirio asked
"You'll know why soon enough" The Mandalorian said as he walked to his U-Wing. Mirio sighed and followed the Mandalorian to the ship
"So why are we here even" Mirio said
"because the Empire destroyed this place after they took over. It was the sight of a Sep factory before an Imperial Weapons Research area. I'm here to see if I can find anything" the Mandalorian said looking around
"So you go around the galaxy just picking at scraps and getting bounties?" Mirio asked
"That's not all" The Mandalorian said picking up a Lightsaber
"What is that?" Mirio said
"The lightsaber of a Jedi Padawan, a Sha'a Gi, I believe" he said clipping it to his belt
"So you're scavenging Lightsabers, no wonder you're so good with them" Mirio said
"Is that what you think I'm doing with them, then you don't know anything" the Mandalorian said picking up some armour "There, Katarn-Class armour. Wear it" was all he said "After all it was the same ones that went down with Sha'a Gi once Order 66 hit, you remember that event, or did you forget about it after running away with that Youngling. I bet you also didn't stand guard against Darth Vader" the Mandalorian said "You just saw the Youngling and then ran away" he continued to taunt
"And what about you huh, you're a force user so where were you when your brothers and sisters were being slaughtered?" Mirio snapped
"We're talking about you, besides" the Mandalorian said "You don't get to ask questions of me" he said punching Mirio. "Now come on we're finished here" Mirio just picked himself up and wiped the blood from his lip before using the force to push the Mandalorian, who recovered and fired a cable at the former Temple Guard, who struggled to get out of him, The Mandalorian pulled out a blaster and fired at him, knocking him out "Man you are one DUMB Nerf herder" he said dragging Mirio back to the ship before leaving the system.
"So how did it go?" Mina asked as the Mandalorian gave her Sha'a Gi's lightsaber and dumped Mirio on the ground
"Seriously man?" Eijiro said
"He was getting annoying" Izuku said heading for his quarters as Ochako walked passed
"What's up with him?" Ochako said
"Oh man, what hit...where is that cheap shot taking Womp Rat!" Mirio said waking up and rubbing his jaw
"You got off easy" Eijiro said
"Why's that?" Mirio said
"You're asking questions...and still breathing" Mina shrugging walking
"Another one huh?" Eijiro asked
"Yeah" Mina said as they entered a room filled with lightsabers and names
"Do you mind if I?" Eijiro said
"Go ahead" Mina said
"Thank you" Eijiro said as he took the lightsaber and placed it on a stand among a slew of other lightsabers "Padawan Sha'Gi, may you rest easily among your brethren as a part of the Living Force" he said bowing as he finished
"Thank you, its good that you have been doing this, most of the galaxy hates us because of Sidious and without the Temple those who fell have been left behind, so it's kind of you to do this" Ochako said looking around before she held out a new lightsaber "Her name was Mandalay"
"Thank you" Eijiro said taking the weapon and placing it on a stand and bowed "Knight Mandalay, we thank you for your service, now may you rest easily among your brethren as a part of the Living Force" he said
"Master please watch over us" Ochako said as the trio left the vault and walked to the common area.
G'day Guys Grizz here so now we have some more characters namely Kirishima who is the same type of Force users as the blind guy from Rogue One, that was seriously one of the best characters of that film, I've also added a bit of back story for Mirio who ran with Eri from the Jedi Temple. Plus this is going to be Izumina, sorry IzuOcha fans. Also I'm including Star Wars Characters such as Sha'a Gi from the 2004 Clone Wars cartoon and Thrawn one of the biggest threats in the franchise and one I was surprised by whne I heard he was now Canon instead of just Legends (That's something I'm not getting into)
Another thing I wanted to do is a kind of thing the Jedi say when the pass on, I know there could be one but I couldn't remember it so I made up this saying which I like
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
