Upon arriving at Jedda, all that could be seen was rock. There was no plant life, no sign of buildings of any kind, and not any kinds of wildlife in sight. 'But this has to be the place.' Kairi thinks. She just has to find the area where all the key blades were stuck into the ground. The ship continues fly over the surface while to two continue to look for anything, but sadly, nothing.
"I hope you know what we're looking for." Mando says, impatience clear in his voice.
"We're looking for a whole field of key blades wedged into the ground like tombstones." Kairi explains, still not taking her eyes off the endless amounts of nothing.
"I'm sure if there was something like that, the data base would know about it." Mando says. "I don't think its here. In fact, I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist."
"It does exist!" Kairi shouts. "I was there before I was taken!"
"Calm down, kid. It could just be on a different planet. Geonosis is also a wasteland with no life like this." Mando says. Just then, an explosion shakes out from the back of the ship, rattling the three inside. The child lets out a concerned noise that almost sounds like crying.
"What was that?!" Kairi exclaims.
"Someones behind us! They're trying to shoot us down!" Mando exclaims. " I have a plan, but we're gonna have to be on the ground to do it. I need a distraction to land safely."
"Okay, what did you have in mind?" Kairi asks.
"Do you have any experience in fighting on fast moving vehicles?" Mando asks.
"I'll see what I can do." Kairi says before leaving the cockpit.
"She didn't answer the question." Kairi overhears Mando telling the child. Truth was, she didn't have any experience in that, but did she have much of a choice. She opens the main door of the ship and a large blast of air hits her, pulling her outward from the ship. Kairi remains grounded however and slowly makes her way outside. She looks behind the ship to find the ship attacking them. It was noticeably smaller than their and more jagged looking, and it was still trying to shoot at them.
Kairi then begins looking at the Razor Crest, looking for a way to get atop the ship. She try's jumping and using an aero spell to get higher, but when she jumps, she flys off the ship and hits the wing, ironically getting on top.
"Ow... not as planned." Kairi mutters as she recovers. She looks back at the enemy ship to find it still firing at them. She then gets up and casts a thunder spell, hitting the ship and sending it down.
"Heh, that actually wen't pretty well." Mando says as he sets the Razor Crest down. When he does so he quickly gets up from the pilots chair. "Stay here." He quickly tells the child. He makes his way down to the landing ramp and attaches his pulse rifle to his back as he exits. He then sees Kairi jump down from the ship. "Nice job." He compliments.
"I would be lying if I said it went off perfectly." Kairi says, massaging her back.
"Lets go investigate the crash." Mando says. They had landed not far from the crash so it was an easy walk. When they got there, they noticed the cockpit was smashed from the inside out. "Take cover!" Mando yells. The two duck behind the ship but no attack comes. Mando uses his thermal vision to see where the pilot may have gone, but he receives nothing.
"I have nothing on thermal, you wouldn't happen to have some sort of find person magic on you?" He asks.
"No. I think we'll just have to wait until he-" Kairi is cut off as a laser blast misses her face by only two inches to the left. "-makes a move first." She finishes. Mando then takes out his pulse rifle.
"Please tell me you have some sort of force field casting thing." Mando says.
"I actually do." Kairi admits.
"Alright. Use it on me. I'll take care of our sniper." He orders. Kairi casts another one of her spells and Mando stands upright and aims his rifle down to where the shot last came. Once the shooter is in sight, they both fire at the same time. The spell protects Mando, however, the other person isn't so lucky. "Quickly." Mando runs towards the shooter with Kairi following.
When the group gets there, they see a downed droid. 'The next part will be all the easier.' Mando thinks as he unholsters his blaster. The droid looks at the group.
"Interesting." It says.
"Really? The interesting part hasn't started yet." Mando says as he aims his blaster at its head.
"No. I find your companion interesting. I've already alerted all other hunters of her. There will be no where to run. You and your friend will die unless you give up the target." It says. Mando then mercilessly blasts it, permanently offlining it.
The two then make their way back to the ship, the child greets them as they enter into the cockpit. Mando pays it little mind while Kairi gives it her attention. Mando looks through the damage report to find that the coolant was ruptured. This would limit their ability to get off Jedda, but left unattended, it would be a problem soon enough. He then readies the ship for take off and exits the atmosphere.
"So, to this Geonosis then?" Kairi asks.
"No. The Razor Crest is damaged, and what I have won't be enough to cover the cost of fixing it. So we're gonna get a quick job to get it fixed." Mando explains.
"What kind of job?" Kairi hesitantly asks.
"We won't know until we see what there is to do." He answers. "I'm setting coarse for Polis Massa. It recently became a base for the bounty hunters guild, though some don't go there often. Its perfect to get work while avoiding more hunters." Once the coordinates are layed in, Mando makes the jump to hyperspace. "Come down here, bring the child." Mando says as he gets out of the chair.
Kairi picks up the child and follows. She really didn't like the sound of finding a job near the Mandalorian line of work. What if they were sent to kill someone. She shakes this thought as she gets to the lower floor. Mando is standing near the open locker which was the child's room.
"First, its bed time for that thing." He says. Kairi then places the child in its room.
"Have a nice sleep." Kairi smiles.
"Goodnight you little womp-rat." Mando says before closing the locker. Kairi watches as he walks to a different locker on the ship. This one looked more traditional then the futuristic opening door fo the childs room. There, Mando takes out what looks likes some kind of leather armour but she can't tell for sure. "But this on." He throws the clothes to her.
"Wha- why?" Kairi asks.
"The pink makes you stand out to much, and we don't want to attract attention. And besides, it will offer up more protection then what you're wearing." He says before leaving for the cockpit. Kairi couldn't really deny any of those points besides the fact that her current clothes did serve as protection against the darkness, even though she didn't need it since she is immune. She decides that it would be possible and best to simple put it on overtop her current garments. The once she does this, she looks in the mirror which was conveniently in the same room as her. She looked like a real mercenary. 'I guess thats the point' she thinks as she makes her way up to the cockpit. 'Now the only thing I have to worry about is this job' She thinks as she enters the cockpit.
When she does, she sees the Mandalorian just putting his helmet back on.
"We're coming up on Polis massa. Its a base on an astroid near the Mustafar system. Not many know of its existence. It was once a base for the rebellion back when they were fighting the Empire. It was abandoned just before the battle of Jakku." He explains before the ship drops out of hyperspace. Kairi can then see, in the field of astroids, a building built onto one of said astroids. This is Polis massa. The Razor Crest makes it way towards the facility and lands inside one of the many hangers it has.
"Well, lets get started." Kairi breathes.
