AN: I will be ignoring MOST (not all) of ReMind for this and all my other KH fics because it wouldn't work for them.
Stepping out of the Razor Crest, Kairi was free to take in the space station of Polis Massa. Unfortunately, there wasn't much to take in. The hanger was all just grey with a few ventilation shafts and lights to break it up. Even with those lights, the hanger and the hallway that the pair soon entered. This hallway eventually led to what looked like a command centre with the entire joint being worked by droids that seemed to be cataloging previously completed jobs and monitoring new and ongoing ones.
Besides the droids, there was no one else there other than the two of them. 'Mando wasn't kidding when he said people rarely come here.' Kairi thinks. Eventually, the two walk up to one of the droids doing his job.
"Ah. It has been a few weeks since someone has come here for work. That is why you are here I assume." It says to them.
"Yes. I need a job thats not too far from here. And after that, I'm gonna need some repairs for my ship." Mando explains.
"I understand your situation. It isn't uncommon here." The droid says. He then begins searching his data base for potential jobs. "Ah. Here is one nearby. The guilds IG droid factory on Mustafar has been taken by the Black Sun. Should you rid of the Black Sun so we can have our factory back, we will pay you double of what repairs cost here."
"Rid of them how?" Kairi silently asks.
"It does not matter. So long as they are not on guild property." The droid responds. "Once you have retaken the factory, contact the guild here so we may send security droids to it."
"I understand." Mando responds. "Will that be all?" He asks.
"If you die, please contact us so we can send in a replacement." The droid says. Kairi can only give it a weird look, she assumed that under the helmet, Mando was doing the same.
"I'll be sure to do that." Mando responds, a small hint of sarcasm in his voice. The pair then head back to the Razor Crest. "I hope you don't plan on chiming in like that if we find ourselves in a similar situation." Mando says to her on the way back.
"Why?" Kairi asks.
"I understand if you don't want to kill people, but others won't. If it weren't a droid, the client would question our ability to do the job. So next time, I will do the talking." Mando explains.
"I... understand." Kairi says. The two then reach the Razor Crest. Once inside, Mando takes off and lays in the coordinates for Mustafar.
"Now listen, if the Black Sun has taken the factory, we should expect at least a decent defence. Once they see that I'm a Mandalorian, they'll know we were sent by the guild." Mando explains. "So, I'm gonna send you in to distract them. Tell them that your here to deliver more weapons. Can you do that?" Kairi wasn't sure. She never really communicated with any "Bad guys" Except for when the organization would monologue on whatever, meaning they would basically carry the conversation. Deciding she needed to try now, at least in case a similar situation came in the future, she provided her answer.
"I'll do it." Kairi responds.
"Good. They'll attempt to take you inside to talk to the contraband inspector. Thats when we strike." Mando continues. "I'll come out of the ship and attack. When they start focusing on me, you take out the guards next to you and begin attacking the defences. I recommend doing something big for that last part."
"I have just the thing in mind." Kairi confidently responds.
"Good. Once the outer defences are down, we'll move to the inside. The Black Sun usually focuses most of its defences on the exterior, so it shouldn't be a problem." Mando says. "Then, we contact the guild, fly back to Polis Massa and get payed and fixed before the child wakes up."
"Thats a good plan." Kairi compliments. Mando then, silently turns back to the controls.
"We're coming up on Mustafar. Get ready." Mando says. Upon dropping out of hyperspace, Kairi sees a dark red planet. The planet gave off a feeling of darkness that she sensed, heartless could be there, but she could feel it could also be something different. Possibly something worse. Once in the atmosphere, she can see what the surface of the planet looked. Lava flowed everywhere as it came down hundreds upon hundreds of volcanos. What ever wasn't lava was blackened stone caused by the intense heat of the planet. It trumped the Keyblade graveyard and realm of darkness as the darkest, most unsettling place she had ever seen.
"What happened here?" Kairi asks, as she looks around the surface more.
"No one knows." Mando replies. "I've heard there was a civilization here once that somehow caused the planet to become what it is now. I don't know if it is true." Eventually, a building hanging off one of the many volcanos comes into sight. The ship lands on the landing platform of the installation as multiple security lights follow it. "Hurry." Mando reminds as they both make their way out of the cockpit. "Remember. Act natural, or they'll get suspicious." Kairi then makes it to the exit and opens the door to exit while Mando hides from sight.
There were several guards in a dull gold coloured armour with helmets that concealed their faces. The helmets gave off an eerie green glow where the eyes would be. They escorted a man without armour but wearing attire the same colour scheme of the guards. Since he did not have a helmet his face was visible. The man had dark green skin and a black goatee. He then spoke in a deep voice.
"Why have you come here?" His face gives of the expression of light confusion.
"Uh, I've come to deliver more weapons." She tells them, somehow keeping her cool.
"Very well. I assume you have a manifest." He asks.
"Yes." She takes out the data pad that Mando had handed her before she left.
"Come inside. We'll get this verified." He said, leading the guards and her back into the building. The guards on the catwalks that sprawled around the landing platforms had now taken their attention off the Razor Crest and were now focused on Kairi. Before they could reach inside, the sound a familiar pulse rifle goes off, and the guards turn to find Mando with his pulse rifle as he fired on another guard.
"A stowaway! Get him!" One of the guards shouts. The guards now scramble to get to their previous defensive positions while Mando shoots at them with deadly accuracy, completely forgetting about Kairi. Just as planned. Kairi then summons Destinys Embrace and holds it up to the air. She was told by Merlin, that this spell had never been executed before by any previous keyblade wielder before her. The running theory was the reason only she could pull it off was because she was a princess of heart. While Kairi executed this move many times during training, she never actually used it in a real combat situation so she had no idea how effective it would actually be.
Her keyblade carries her up into the air where multiple light magic projectiles spawn. They rain down on the guards near her with a few light blasts seeking out targets on the catwalks. As they rain down, Kairi goes down with them to see the fruits of her labour. No one was killed, thank Kingdom Hearts, and everyone that was hit was currently knocked out. However, there still where many more guards firing on Mando, so the job wasn't over yet.
She fires a blizzara spell at one of the steel beams holding up the catwalk and then performs multiple dash strikes across the hit area, causing it to break, and sending all the Black Sun forces falling down unto the platform where luckily, the impact knocks them out. By then, the defences are down and Mando has caught up to Kairi meaning the two were free to move into the interior.
The first thing the two see inside is a stopped assembly line of droids with weird canister shaped heads. Before the two can take anything else in, two more guards run around the corner, firing their blasters. Kairi deflects the incoming blasts while Mando quickly dispatches the two guards with his own blaster.
"Not much left." He says before moving on, Kairi following him. Very quickly, the two reach what seemed to be the command centre for the factory. Inside were two more guards, one killed by Mando and the other knocked out by Kairi, and another green man similar to the first just with a beard instead of a goatee.
"What is this!" He demands as he holds up his hands in fear.
"We're taking back this factory." Mando impassively says as he holds the man at gun point.
"The factory on Black Sun territory!" The man shouts.
"Just cause you live on this rock doesn't mean you own it. You take from the guild, it would be stupid not to expect consequences." Mando replies. The man doesn't argue this any further.
"What will you do with me?" He asks.
"Just this." Mando says before cuffing him with some binders Kairi swore he didn't have before. "The guild can decide whats next." Mando then turns his back to him and radios the guild.
"What of you?" The man asks Kairi. "You don't look like a bounty hunter, why are you here?"
"None of your business." Kairi says, pointing her keyblade at him.
"Definitely not a bounty hunter." The man silently chuckles. Mando then gets of his call.
"You know, we don't exactly have to keep him conscious." He says. Kairi then takes this as a signal to knock him out.
The two then drag the man to the platform where they see a ship landing followed by multiple of the same type of droid seen in the factory filing out and dragging away the guards Kairi knocked out. Soon, one of the droid running things on Polis Massa comes out to talk with the two. One of the droids, the IG units, takes their prisoner away before the Polis Massa droid talks to them.
"Well done. The guild very much appreciates having you take prisoners. They will be used well." It tells them. "Talk to the droid that has given you your assignment. He will pay you."
"I understand." Mando says before walking to his ship with Kairi following.
"That wasn't so bad." Kairi says.
"I know. Lucky we got an easy job." Mando replies as the two head into the ship. There, they take off and fly back to Polis Massa. They them make their way back to the droid that had first given them the assignment.
"Well done." It says as it recognizes them. "Seeing as how you took prisoners, you will be paid extra. Also, repairs on your ship will begin. They will be finished at noon tomorrow."
"I see." Mando says as he takes the credits presented to him by the droid. 'A thank you would be a better response.' Kairi thinks until she is shaken by her mind by the droid.
"You credits miss..." The droid begins.
"Kairi." Kairi tells it as she takes the currency.
"I wish you luck on your next job." It says before the two leave.
As it watches them leaving, the droid turns back to its console. It begins making a new entry for the guild. Using footage from its own memory core and the name given to him, the droid officially adds Kairi to the bounty hunters guild.
"If the first job is completed, the person is granted access into the guild." The droid recites the rule of the guild to itself before turning back to its more traditional dutys.
