A/N: Yo you all got me back for another round. Oh my friends I'm so sorry these chapters took way too long and it's already the New Year. But for this I've put as much lemons and teasing as I can into each chapter I'm updating. As well as pushing their stories as far as I can with what I've written. Again thanks dudes for waiting and hopefully my next chapters don't take as long and here's to all the fun to come this year!

Sloksingh45: Thanks dude glad you like it.

FriggleBerry: I know dude people have told me that. The translator I use sometimes doesn't work well with Microsoft word. A few times it crashes and the recovery program misses words. But still I'm glad you do like the story.

Lets see what's prowling in the night of space.

Mid Rim Barriss POV

I'm honestly shocked that Master Yoda requested that Master Shaak Ti and I journey to Balosar. From what he told us a suspected factory on the planet helped process the metals needed to make the Separatist rail gun weapon. And he needed a small strike force to go there and find out if the facts add up.

As we walk the ships corridors my mind drifts to my latest force vision of Jagger. It was so intense that Master Ti had to wake me up.

In my dream I saw Jagger but he wasn't angry or fighting. He was in darkness surrounded by chains. It wasn't like before he looked... weak almost as if his spirit was broken.

I reached for him but all I felt was the cold sensation of a metal wall. I called to him but Jagger simply raised his head. His face it made my heart sink. His eyes didn't have the same spark he normally carried with him. And looking closer you can see the chains had barbs on them.

The dried scabs on his skin some even bleeding was clear. Jagger spoke so hauntingly to me it was as if he had no spirit... He said "Barriss my suffer isn't because of you... I let them in and now I must die alone..."

With that more chains began to wrap around him. Constricting him like a serpent even as I try to get past the wall I can see Jagger not try to fight back. I screamed hearing his bones give and the spray of blood pool on the ground.

Master Ti woke me up and I told her what I saw. In our talk with master Yoda he hummed to say "Stranger the visions grow hm. Truly where Jagger is the darkness is taking his life. Hurry we must in finding him but still no leads we have."

Master Ti asked if Ahsoka and Master Luminara had any leads. And from what Ahsoka told the Council it looks as if the Sith are still looking for Jagger. And if the visions are any clue they might be getting closer.

Master Ti says "Barriss as we travel I wish for us to combine our connection to the force. Meditating on one goal maybe what we need to find a lead on Jagger."

I nod to ask "Master do you think we should as master Luminara for additional information. From what master Yoda told us that battle she, Ahsoka, and master Kenobi had with those two Sith. Might hold clues we need."

Master Ti hums to say "Agreed lets contact them at once." Opening a private channel I smile seeing Ahsoka and master Luminara. Ahsoka says, "Hey Barriss master Ti any luck on the assignment Master Yoda asked you?"

I smile to answer "No we'll be arriving to Balosar in a few days. Right now Ahsoka we wanted to ask you and master Luminara about any visions you may have had involving Jagger."

Master Luminara says, "Yes a few days after the battle we had with those Sith I was meditating alone. I haven't told this yet to the council due to the sensitive nature of how I meditated. In short I was nude but the vision I had reminded me of meditating close to Jagger.

"I felt heat unlike before but my body went into an odd flux of temperature. I saw flashes of Jagger during this time he spoke almost happily. He asked me if I was happy with my choice? And also asked would I ever walk away from the happiness he helped me get.

"The vision ended but those two questions still linger in my mind. It seems that Jagger future to me is to help me find a sense of happiness."

Ahsoka says, "I tried the same method remembering back to when I was with Jagger. But unlike master Luminara Jagger wasn't calm his voice was intense. He was shouting at someone asking if they would fight beside him until they gave their lives.

"I was pulled away from the vision before I could hear anyone answer. But I get the feeling I've been there to hear him ask whoever he was shouting at."

Master Ti hums to say "And both of you meditated with no clothes on. As well as used a memory of being with Jagger to help focus the force to. I have no such memory to go off. Jagger's time on Kamino was mostly of him being with the newer clones. Perhaps... Maybe I can use one of the conversations I had to aid my meditation?"

Ahsoka says "Never hurts to try master and believe me nothing so far has been normal with Jagger around." Master Ti and I thank Ahsoka and master Luminara as we head to our private quarters.

Sitting down master Ti says "I'll go first then Barriss please keep watch over me. And awaken me if anything should happen."

I nod as Master Ti disrobes until she is in nothing at all. I must admit the adult figure is curvaceous and I can see why she once told Jagger to be mindful of his eyes wandering.

Soon master Ti begins to meditate and as I watch I can see her body begin to sweat. I soon feel an odd tremor from her force signature. And after a few more moments her eyes snap open looking at me. Master Ti covers her mouth to begin to cry.

Before I could ask she says, "Barriss please give me time... I need to... Just please ask no one to disturb me."

Master Ti quickly collects her clothes to go into the refresher. I'm left to wonder what she saw. Sighing I leave hoping master Ti will be ok.

Third persons POV

As Barriss goes to talk with the ships captain master Ti is seating on the toilet. Her mind in flux over what she saw. Touching her chest Ti closes her eyes to feel the small warmth of a child in her embrace. Suckling on her bosom as a pair of hands touches her shoulder.

Master Ti blushes as Jaggers words haunt her mind "She's just as beautiful as you are Ti... I love you..."

Shaak Ti covers her mouth to silently cry her future told to her. Her place to be the one to help carry one Jaggers family and species bloodline.

Across the galaxy once more we find lady Bellit rubbing her brow. The last week has been awful for her. But with luck her best sniper petty officer Lorenz can kill the merc that has been plaguing them.

Lady Bellit communicates directly with her sniper team to say "My jewels I thank you all for agreeing to face this bothersome foe. And I promise you once she is dealt with the rest of those mercs will receive equal deaths.

"But for now we focus on what is before us. Petty officer Lorenz you have point take your Logis and take down that merc pilot."

Petty officer Lorenz nods as he and the others in his four-person sniper unit race off. The merc managed to sneak a small group of their force into the colony the Bellit has been blocking them from.

Bellits troops as well as several members of the colonies police force killed them. But the mercs almost handed the rioters several pounds of explosive and disintegrator weapons.

Bellit finally managed a smirk after an officer found a map on one of the mercs. With it they'll be able to set a trap for any mercs trying to use the route again.

As the sniper unit gets into position Parabellum merc Lo Della is currently flying along the route the mercs want to secure. With all communication to their infiltration squad lost they assumed it could mean that lady Bellit is onto their entry route.

So Lo Della is acting as both advance and bait for the other units to come. Flying fast Lo Della pulls back hard on her controls to stop from colliding with a large chunk of debris. Smirking she says "Oh man you sweet hunk of machine twenty nine I can't wait for you to blow my mind!"

As Lo Della flies faster and faster checking all points along the route Lorenz and his unit set up at a debris cluster. A member of his unit saying, "Noise cancelling and noise levels are green sir. Also the scout Logis say they've just finished placing the mines. The choke point is finished pulling up the layout now."

Lorenz nods liking that the layout of the mines as well as his unit's placement will force Lo Della to be right where they want her. Lorenz begins to dial in the right area and space he will cover during their firing.

All there is now is to wait and see if Lo Della will show up. As the time goes bye Lorenz scans more until he gets a ping on his radar.

Looking into his scope he tracks at fast moving target. Seeing the slim disproportionate torpedo Lorenz says, "All units target has entered the web." Hearing that all the units scan their target area with a growl one sniper says, "The wench is mine!"

Firing his pressure beam Lo Della gets a radar ping to turn sharply using a few chunks of rock for cover. Another sniper seeing the move says, "Kriff she fast but she won't be able to move past over lapping fire."

Fire her snipers beam Lo Della stops sharply letting the beam hit the large debris in front of her. Causing a ploom of rock and explosive gas to envelop her. As she turns upward in seconds another beam grazes her lower hull.

Lo Della smirks to say, "I found you." Turning she charges full throttle to unleash a small cluster charge. The charge detonating the mines in a third of the rock cluster.

The youngest sniper saying "Crap how did she know..." But he still opens fire hoping to hit the merc even with the explosives covering her. However Lo Della is above the explosives and spots the young sniper. Firing she destroys the sniper but the Logi pilot manages to distich before it blows in his face.

Lorenz curses at the loss of one of the snipers nest already. Calibrating fast Lorenz scans for Lo Della's position. The Logi sniper trying to control himself opens fires at Lo Della. But she quickly returns fire blasting the ships weapons and leaving him in pieces.

Another two-sniper see and both open fire. Lo Della smirking still the two snipers gives away their positions. Lo Della says "Bunch of cowards you snipers are. Why don't you want to come out an play like real soldiers?"

Lo Della opens fire in between her quick turns trying to hit as close to the snipers nests as she can. All while the two snipers return fire. Lorenz still monitoring from his nest says, "Units three and four that blasts are too small to be a hit. Scan your area's fast."

Both snipers using visual scopes scan as fast as they can. The female snipers breathing heavy frantic to confirm that Lo Della was shot down.

However like her recent trick Lo Della sets off another mine. Trigger both the snipers to fire at the area as movement is pinged. But Lo Della smirks from a short distance, as she has a zero point on their nests.

The female says, "No it was another decoy... NO!" In a large fireball Lo Della destroys her ship from above. As the other sniper turns Lo Della is behind him. Detaching fast he evades her attack by only so much.

The heat from the sniper exploding scorches his lower hull. Allow Lo Della to get in close and damaging his Logis port side. With some control still the sniper tries to run.

But finally Lorenz has a clean shot. With his beam sniper fully primed for a long blast he aims and fires. Within seconds of the beam hitting Lo Della knows she can't evade and will die.

However a saving grace happens to her as a chunk of debris ignites another mine. Creating a gas pressure that cause the beam to veer off course but not before scoring her hull with heated flakes.

Lo Della smiles to laughing saying "I was almost killed from that shot. Oh yes sniping me from that range takes a pro. It's you isn't it peglegs!"

Lorenz is pissed the mine his very own trap helped save the enemy he wanted to kill. Cursing at Lo Della's luck his two remaining units tell him to break off. As now Lo Della is coming after him full charge.

But as Lorenz scans to take one last shot he sees that Lo Della is using a shield. That shield being the damaged Logi she was just about to kill.

Lo Della talking over open channels saying, "I know you're good if you could track my speed and turns. So I dare you to fire at me now peglegs!"

Lo Della was egging Lorenz to fire and kill his own sniper member. Lorenz hisses to fire a concentrated beam at a large rock to create a cloud for cover. Lo Della commenting on how predictable his idea to make more debris to distract her is.

But Lorenz says "I'm just making your path to me easier. Come closer and I'll put a beam right through your cockpit!"

Lo Della smiles as she moves past two more shots from Lorenz. Lo Della's heart is racing she's pumped at the fight. And is ready to take out the snipers so her boss can give her a nice bonus. To Lorenz shock Lo Della fires a torpedo into the damaged Logi. Igniting its fuel and creating a large blast to cover her movements.

Lorenz firing a few times to try and get a ping on his radar even though he is in a state of frantic hate. With a ping at least he move fast as Lo Della destroys his snipers nest.

Blow back Lorenz is pushed back as Lo Della shots damages his Logi. Lo Della smiles to say, "With these shitty machines you have it's no wonder you all can only snipe. Don't worry I'll be killing you now!"

Thinking fast Lorenz fires a flash mine. But Lo Della still fires hitting Lorenz Logi as the mine releases an area covering flash. Working fast Lorenz and his remaining sniper flees. With the flash clearing Lo Della is left looking shocked. Her shock soon turning to rage as she smash her fists against her console.

Growling she returns to her company ship as does Lorenz and his remaining sniper. Lady Bellit hangs her head at the failure of her snipers. As well as the lost of three of the members due to the fighting.

Lady Bellit telling her second to have all hands ready for battle. As she plans to write letters of thanks to the families of the lost snipers.

Nassie calls to give lady Bellit however with news of a friend coming to the battle.

Jagger's POV

Cracking my neck I smile as Sash flutters her wings to nuzzle my head. Scratching her chest feathers I look up as Yala enters my room. Yala says, "It's good you're back little brother. But we're in a bind that we can't walk away from."

I smile to say "Good I wanted a reason to test out the new additions to Denwen. Plus the Waltz scientists tried to sneak a peek at how forging Beskar works. But Sash and I made sure that was one secret that will remain to the Mandalorians."

Yala nods to say "Traditions have kept us alive and have also hinders us. But some traditions if lost would spell the doom for our ways."

I nod to say "And if everyone knew how to forge Beskar Mandalore would be raided constantly. And the ores would be handed out in different fashions to anyone with enough credits. I wouldn't stand for that... I still hate that some of my peoples treasures reside in museums or politicians personal collection."

Yala says "Not to worry little brother when this is over we'll see to your clans wealth returned to you. Honor, family, and heritage is what makes us strong not only as warriors but as clans. Franz is working to prove to others that sometimes the old ways can be shaped to suite the present.

"The vizsla's are warmongers while the pacifists will make us seem weak and easy to control. We must be strong but level as many agree this war between the CIS and Republic is more then just greed and power struggles."

I nod to say "Often times that is true about all wars. We can learn much about the galaxies legacies in wars both short an long. But we still must remember what lead us to face those wars to begin with. Still I hope that Lechman finishes that last request I had for Denwen before the fighting begins."

Yala nods to say "Keep track of all of your kills little brother. I must tell Franz how far along you've come in that armor."

I nod as I look to my family's sword. Taking it up I open it to say "Family... If only mine could see me now. I wish that they could see my courage and how much honor I fight with."

Standing I place my family's sword to the side to head to the hanger. There I find Yala and the hanger chief looking over Denwen. Hanger chief Zoss says "These are some heavy modifications I take it most came from these Waltz scientists?"

I nod to say, "Some of their ideas but Lechman had final say. Seeing as he'll be out here constantly making sure I can move in this armor. I was honestly surprised that inside the memory core are modification blue prints for armor thickness or weapon additions.

"Some weapons are designed for large scale battles not space skirmishes. However the original smith that worked on this armor came from Taung of old... He was one of the last decedents. Lechman told me he read the smiths name amount that few that died of old age after the last war with the Jedi."

Yala huffs as Zoss says, "I think I should have a talk with Lechman. But Opla wants to talk with your from what I hear things are still going bad for the Waltz and dealing with the mercenaries at their door."

I nod to say "Well here's hoping the Waltz wins fast so we can get the princess home and get paid. I honestly don't get what those mercs full plan is? The Waltz isn't the only organized gang not envolved with the Republics wars."

Zoss looks at me to say, "Like us the Waltz group has a large stockpile of rare ores and gems. They're great miners because they can give near perfect estimates of an area they mine. That kind of skill saves money and would help speed up any mining operation."

I look at Zoss to ask "Wait doesn't the mining guild still exist? Cause with the Waltz skills imagine what they could do if they had a few dozen enslaved members of the Waltz at their dig sites."

Yala and Zoss look at me to nod but before either could say anything Opla calls us to the bridge. Seeing Lady Bellit and miss Nassie I know something is up. Opla says "We just finished talking Jagger you're going to lead the charge with a counter offensive group from lady Bellit's attack force. We need you to take out this ship most of all."

I gasp seeing the heavy modified Mobius fighter. I growl loud my fangs showing to say, "I'll gladly smash that thing to bits."

Yala grips my shoulder for me to say, "I'm ok but it just reminds me of the past. That type of fighter killed my twin cousins. I many not be killing the real murderer but I think it's poetic justice that I crush that fighter now."

Lady Bellit says, "My sister told me that your armor has been greatly modified and outfitted. Put every ounce of firepower onto this fighter. I'll also be sending a sniper to support you. After his last injury at the hands of this fighter's pilot my lead sniper refuses to rest until she's killed. And I must ask you see that it happens."

I nod as Yala tells lady Bellit to look in on the mining guild. My earlier comment showing to cause lady Bellit to also have to same thought anger her. Lady Bellit quickly ends the call, as does Nassie.

Opla says "Well looks like you're going into the fight without getting to test fly the armor. But from the upgrades Lechman made I'm sure you can handle it. But seriously little brother things are bad, the Waltz needs these mercs gone now. Yala will be here on standby in case you need back up fast. But your main job is hitting that special fighter they have and take it down for good."

I nod to head back to the hanger to get set. With the bodysuit on I thank Zoss and his team for placing the last pieces of ammo onto the Denwen.

Zoss says, "You've got a missile launcher, a repeating drum slug rifle, a high powered blaster rifle, and a white phosphorus launcher. But why the delay between each shot of the blaster rifle?"

I answer "Because I need to work on my aim. Admittedly I've been fire from the hip with a scatter slug thrower. The close range spread is good but that rifle will make me have to aim. Lechman added a target system that allows me to track targets I see. As well as giving me a radar system link. I've made the changes I need to work this treasure from my lost home. Now I must use it to prove I am worthy. And I'm going to use it to shoot down a ghost from my past." Both nod as they help me into Denwen and do final checks.

Third person's View

After a few minutes the Mando's Yatch opens its bay doors. Mounted onto a launch pad is Jagger inside Denwen. His armor now greatly different from before with more plates of Beskar and weapons. As well as a largely modified jetpack system on its back. His armor now colored a deep red black with the armors edges a chrome finish.

Both his shins now sporting an almost box shape design however it becomes more lean from the middle up his shins upward. This is due to them now having added heat thrusts. His chest piece is more angled with a curve to it and a secondary layer of jell and weave for impacts.

His armors right shoulder pauldron having be changed into a large upside down L shape. Allowing him freedom of movement with that arm. His left arm pauldron is a two layer piece. The first a standard design with the next larger shell design having two cone shaped spikes.

The helmet is the same however it now has two life support tubes and a long red mane of hair. Yellit suggested the addition as well as the modified jetpack system. It looks like a engine was strapped to his armor. As the two large cylinders lay sideways with a connecting pair of clamps and small main body. Each cylinder sporting exit vents and thrusters similar to the ones around Denwen.

Nassie connects to Jaggers comms to say "I don't have to tell you how important your success is right now do I Mando?"

Jagger huffs to say "No you don't put it simply I'm not going to return to this ship until I have proof that I destroyed that fighter. Even if it means bringing back it's smoking remains."

Nassie chuckles to say "Good, do this Mando and the Waltz will see your group as an ally for the time being."

With the rocket launcher held at the ready position Jagger gives the signal to the bay chief. Warming up his thrusters Jagger feels the rumble as Denwen also wants to fight their enemy. Jagger says "Denwen launching!"

With that the launcher sends him flying into space the added momentum pushing his thrust speed to make him become a red blur in the void of space. All watching from either monitors or windows gasp as his flies through space in a zig zag pattern. Pushing well past normal fighter G forces.

Yala from the side of the hanger looks on to say, "Kill her little brother and come home. The clan house won't be the same without you stumbling around like a foundling."

Well hoped you liked it and if you didn't well I don't care. Drop me a review and some other fun stuff. I'll see you all later!
