"A win for the duo! While able to capture the four armed bounty hunter with no causalities or property destroyed, Jedi master Quinlan Vos and Wild Force rabbit Ash who was escorting the criminal to Coruscant where he would be questioned about the possible affiliation with the Masters of evil. Seeing how they have been around near the Separatists since their arrival, there hands are right now deep into criminal activity which are slowly becoming there's seeing how the Republic as well others are focusing on the war then what Evil is doing. The two were picked up by a small cruiser going to escort them safely through whatever might be sent after them seeing how any information on the masters, would be chased after as well be killed to make sure nothing was shared with the enemy."
On the ship, all the clones as well men were right now maintaining the cruiser along with making sure everything was ship tight as well had the weapons ready if there were any attackers or people going try and rescue him. Ash, going to take some time to himself grabbed a rifle as well practicing his shooting skills on some practice droids. Checking out his ammo as well breathing in deep, as he began to hear the buzzing sound of him getting the clear. The rabbit rushed out to where he saw practice droids with training blasters as they begin to fire upon him. Moving as well avoiding the bolts that would hurt like hell and stun him in a instant, he tuck and rolls from the fire and shoots at them in the chest. Quickly moving from shot to shot, Ash was making sure to not falter as well make sure not let get shot, seeing how this was the best way to relive of stress as well not taking it out on actual clones. As he saw a droid coming at him, Ash flips the blaster and hits him right in the face making the head fly off. Checking out two others, he pulled out two of his pistols and begins fire at the two making them drop onto the ground. He saw two super battle droids as he ducks from their line of fire as he rushed over and quickly goes through the man's legs as he forces the droid to fire at the other as well rips out the arm and beats the droid into pieces till he heard the beeping seeing how it was over. He heard that of clapping, he turned to see the dreadlocks hair Jedi Quinlan Vos as he couldn't help but chuckle at how he took out his frustration on these droids.
Quinlan Vos: "If this is how you aim your anger, I'm surprised how you use it on the field."
Acknowledging about how he watched the displacement of how he handles himself in a fire, snapping his finger Ash couldn't help but admire that kind of tone seeing how he heard a bit about him when they came aboard.
Ash: "Yeah, but I do it on big men who tried to get my head. Seeing how no one noticed you at the bar, seeing how you got a whole lot of men after your head. Meaning about those criminal missions you get assigned to right?"
Directing a question right at him which Vos knew had it coming, true he did work in underworld business as well acquired enemies in the past. Though now it was different, he was now getting involved into something not like what he's used to which is chasing after costumed men who have powers not like the Sith he was trained to face. The rabbit noticed a file which had to be the report from their 'guest' as he hands it to him.
Quinlan Vos: "Apparently our hunter wasn't just going to do some killing on a republic senator. He was also going to do some killing on a planet that, might want to avoid seeing how they have a history with Jedi."
Responding in a cautious like tone as this caught Ash's fancy, looking at the file he noticed the planet he was going to be sent before his job with the assassination. Though he hasn't heard about this world along with not hearing about it, though heard rumors of the shady background it has.
Ash: "Mandalore?"
Asking like of a stranger learning about a planet he never even seen nor heard about as the man nodded to the rabbit seeing how it was somewhere they needed to head to.
Quinlan Vos: "A neutral planet, not Republic or Separatists. They wanted out of the war since the history they have with warfare along with it's, history with the Jedi."
Using those words very carefully as this made Ash curious as he looked more into the files seeing that of a radical group with a radical Mandalorian symbol as this got Ash interested as well grow a smile on his bone like face.
Quinlan Vos: "Deathwatch, a rogue group that wants Mandalore to be a planet that is ruled by strength then of politics and peace. As well make sure no one would threaten it, Obi wan faced these guys and barely got out of there."
As how he sounded made these guys into bad ass's seeing how these guys didn't have the force but guns and different types of weaponry to handle these types of people. He didn't know whether to feel jealous, or be a fan seeing how that it be possibly cool to get his own jetpack as well armor. Taking a moment to think about it, he tried to figure out what the hunter was hired for seeing how after killing that senator. He be coming here as he checked out the person he was going after, Satine Kryze, the ruler as well queen of Mandalore.
Ash: "Ok, now bear with me. Going try to figure this out, piece together what the master's plan might have been before we came in and stopped him."
Gesturing how he was going put together what the plan was as Quinlan Vos nodded seeing how this would be interesting, the hellfire rabbit snapped his fingers trying to think and was able to put together what this whole thing would be about.
Ash: "Alright, since the Masters aren't hell bent on this war and just screwing around with the galaxy as well forming alliances with talents such as bounties. I think, this guy was going try and kill this woman, then soon enough have him contact Deathwatch and inform them of who hired him. Soon enough they meet Evil and bin bang boom, another alliance who hates the Jedi and us is born."
Coming up with a theory which sounded crazy, though still plausible since these villains had made deals with gangs on Coruscant which meant they might not be so invested on the war. The jedi thinks about it as if this was true, then it might be possible that Satine could be target after again.
Quinlan Vos: "If it is true, they might send one of their men. And show Deathwatch their power, those guys want weaponry. Mandalorians are very, in love with weapons."
Ash: "So then, let's go meet the lady and make sure she doesn't get killed."
Thinking something the two could do as Vos could agree with that, however under these circumstances as the two headed to the docking bay to the ship as although Vos would have no trouble heading to a planet full of danger. The tension between the planet as well republic forces intruding on the planet is fickle along with that it might lead to problems.
Quinlan Vos: "I want to do the same, though we aren't exactly welcome there that much. We have to keep a low profile and try not to make anyone mad, as well respect their neutrality."
Discussing the fact that they needed to be careful as well make sure they didn't get anyone, especially the duchess upset which Ash merely groans to the point where he did it all the way into the second seat of Vos's ship and soon stops. Quinlan Vos, gets inside of the cockpit and starts the ship as they began to make their way out of the cruiser.
Ash: "Is everyone in this galaxy such a stick in the mud? Politics, laws, god I rather prefer hearing a lecture from Sparky about not blowing up a factory then being this situation."
Getting upset with all this situation having to be careful as Vos could tell this was going to be a long ride to the planet as well hope things might go alright, as well hop these deathwatch guys wouldn't be a issue.
Arriving to Mandalore
As the jedi ship made it's way to the planet, Ash couldn't help but look at it's moon. How it looked made his bones tingle like if something was wrong with it, Vos noticed him as his yellow eyes were ready to investigate the moon.
Quinlan Vos: "Don't worry, that used to be the old Deathwatch base. Concordia, they abandon it after the duchess ordered the men to be arrested. They left in haste before anything."
Giving him information about the history as the rabbit still didn't like the moon still as soon enough they went into the city, so far it was nothing like Coruscant as most of the buildings were tall as well wasn't an entire planet of buildings. They arrived to the docking bay as soon enough they were greeted by several guards as well a woman with blonde hair as well royal like clothing, it appeared to be aquatic as Vos made a safe landing to the group. Getting out of the ship, the two meet with the woman as they bow to them showing a sign of respect.
Satine Kryze: "This is quite the unexpected arrival, though I welcome you to Mandalore. As well your, unique companion."
Welcoming them to planet as well noticing Ash's appearance, so far it wasn't normal for someone like her to meet a supernatural rabbit from the underworld as Ash merely raised a questionable like expression when she said 'companion' in that tense of words.
Quinlan Vos: "Duchess, were sorry for the rude arrival. But we had just encountered a bounty hunter who was hired to kill one of our senators as well was going to come to you. He was hired by the Separatists newest addition to their group, the so called Masters of Evil."
Bringing up the reason why they were here which made the woman look sadden with this as well upset seeing how while they were still trying to be peaceful, others seek to take control of her home world and use it for their own gains.
Satine Kryze: "This, is troublesome news. Right now I was having a dinner planned for several of my trusted colleagues, to discuss of protection from any more enemy hostiles. If it be possible, I would be grateful if you would attend the evening, though in order to aid me. There is the matter of, your weapons."
Pointing out that it was forbidden for outsiders to bring in their own weaponry, Ash was going to say something about that but still. Rules were rules which he couldn't believe he had to follow these, especially in a time of danger. As Vos handed in his lightsaber, as this meant he had to follow which made Ash bite his teeth seeing how the weapons he had were used for protection for others.
Ash: "This is really going be hard, but. Hey, my hands are weapons enough."
Showing his boney like hands being enough to handle any situation as he began to disarm himself of weaponry to the guards, Vos watched at how many he had seeing that most of it came from within his ribcage. There was pistols, shotguns, blaster rifle, grenades, two daggers as well a metal chain. Breathing in as he was out of weapons, Vos gave him a look which Ash groaned as he had something else to give, going deeper into himself Ash soon got out a bazooka as this stunned the two as well the guards as Ash handed them to the guards.
Satine Kryze: "Thank you for following the rules of Mandalore, although violent. It's satisfying to see other beings from far across the distant of this galaxy."
Ash: "No problem."
Responding to her in a rather chill manner which Vos groans at how he was acting relax as she soon leads them inside into the building where they get a better inspection of the place, so far it almost looked like a cathedral to him with the windows having a rainbow like fashion to it as well reflecting off to the ground. The two soon noticed Satine walking over to a throne seating down as she brought up holographic images of Deathwatch as well their crimes against her and others.
Satine Kryze: "Theses men lead by Pre Vizula, has always had a grudge and wanted Mandalore to be rules by force. He has made many attempts on my life as well of Obi Wan, though has failed. The last time he had formed a alliance was with Dooku, but it ended badly being betrayed. What would they gain if these so called, Masters did the job for them?"
Asking them not understanding these team's action against her and her people as this was Vos chance to intervene seeing how being a Jedi was being the voice of reason, as well about that he should the one to inform her.
Quinlan Vos: "It's due to my intentions these men are involved with the separatists, but due this actions to grow their strength and power. Having deathwatch by their side would make them more menacing along with them aiding the separatist, so this would be a opportunity to form a alliance by taking you out. No offense my lady."
Giving a long explanation about what intentions the masters would want with the duchess as she turned to Ash seeing how he might have a history with them as Ash nodded thinking it was true. Though now procedures should be taken measure as she ordered most of her guards to increase security as well make sure no one would be near them as the dinner would proceed. The two men looked at what was happening now as someone walked over who looked like a advisor to the duchess as Ash looked at how the man approached him.
"Apologies young man, but with the dinner coming. I was requested that you would be suited with the proper attire so that no one is. Distracted."
As he looked at how the rabbit was just wearing dark jeans with no shoes, no shirt as well had a red scarf flowing as the rabbit gave the man a look. Vos, seeing how he didn't need it since he was with him. Though now they were with company as Ash merely gave the maverick Jedi a look as he was slowly pulled away from the Jedi trying to get out of this as Vos merely shrugged his shoulders at how Ash wasn't get out of wearing something for the event.
Night time
At the duchess palace, several of Satine's guests had come to attend the dinner as well making their way inside. Around the perimeter was several guards making sure nothing suspicious was happening, Vos was watching the entrance with the others as soon enough he heard something of grumbling. Turning over he saw something rather shocking, he saw Ash in fur, actual white fur as well wearing some of the duchess's guards as well shoes. Also his scarf seeing how that it must have been difficult for the men to try and remove, however it wasn't seeing how Ash kept it.
Quinlan Vos: "So, when exactly can you ugh. Grow fur?"
Asking Ash seeing how this was seriously unexpected along with not learning about this as the rabbit merely groans at how that was something like that was going to be questioned.
Ash: "It's a skill I got when I came from hell, however I need to stay cool. Along with the fact that if I get mad, I revert back into my normal boney self. So now, I'm staying cool. To make everyone happy, as long as nothing happens. Everyone will see me as, another alien."
Explaining his secret power as Vos couldn't help but chuckle as Ash's eyes were showing a bit of fire as the Jedi didn't mean it as the rabbit merely nods as he tried to remain calm, soon enough the dinner had begun as several of the people that was with Satine were political people of power as well authority. Remaining outside was Ash and Quinlan Vos as they continued to monitored the area seeing nothing but darkness, the Jedi noticed how Ash was staying quiet along with trying his best to not pass out from boredom.
Quinlan Vos: "I happened to hear, that you aren't exactly a fan of this galaxy. Why is that? Sure we have our problems, but it's not all that bad."
Not understanding his issue with this galaxy as the rabbit, merely shakes his head as well looks at the Jedi going to give a lot to him seeing how he didn't understand how he felt.
Ash: "Because of these people, senators, all these people in the senate aggravates me. The war? is a excuse for people to be right because they believe what their saying is right. I mean what the hell? On Earth we have squabbles but we don't continue to try and send ships to people and cause so much trouble that it destroys a entire neighborhood."
Explaining at how much he despised these people who sometimes thought about these politics instead of seeing the real problems of what's going on. Though Vos could see more which Ash merely crossed his arms not saying anything else.
Quinlan Vos: "I think it's more then that, it's the authority you hate. Your not use to being ordered around by people above you, as well being looked at like a animal. So you take the anger you make from them onto the enemy, as well others right? Trust me, I know that feeling. That's why I stay on my home world protecting then being in the temple, where I can watch over others without the orders of anyone watching over me."
Giving him something to think about as Ash felt a bit surprised by his reaction, the rabbit felt a bit more cooler before ever as soon enough his ears heightened hearing something. Same as Vos expect he had a suspicious feeling going through him meaning something was wrong in the force, looking upwards at a building the two spotted a familiar figure which was a deathwatch scout. Who was waving at them from a far as well holding that of a deathwatch issued bazooka.
Quinlan Vos: "What in the.."
Suddenly the man soon fired the rocket right at them as Vos quickly enough stops the missile in midair as he crushed it as the explosion got the attention of others, the two looked inside seeing the guards escort Satine to safety as well everyone else as Ash's eyes were now glowing more as his fur was about to go away. However, they noticed something coming at them which was several individuals coming at him. It was somehow Deathwatch soldiers charging right at them as they were firing blasters at them, Vos had with him the staffs which the guards have as he began spinning it which soon enough blocks the attacks.
Ash: "Bet these guys always come in like this. Blasting crap and stuff."
As the two rushed inside to where the deathwatch men crashed through the windows making their entrance as well looking around for the duchess as she somehow made it out.
Deathwatch member: "Where's the woman? Talk!"
He threatened the two as there were several guards around the men as the number of deathwatch men was roughly around eight, Ash saw how there were four guards as well him and Vos.
Ash: "Hey guys, if were going die I might ask. How'd you all get here? Cause I know this planet as a security decoction system that would alert.."
His chatter merely made the man throw a small device which Ash saw looking familiar, hurling his scarf at Vos the two ducked to the ground which shot out several darts at the guards making them hit the ground in a instant. Vos, didn't see that coming as the holder feel to the ground seeing how that it had a small logo on it, it was a brain with red eyes as Ash groans.
Ash: "Headcase, bet he gave you guys some kind of help to get here."
Quinlan Vos: "Well that's just being unfair."
Adding to the conversation as the two were now outnumbered, made it fun for the Jedi and hell rabbit. Ash now smiling soon made his fur turned to smoke as the deathwatch people moved back shocked at what they were seeing. Gripping his fists, Ash let out a yell which soon revealed his skeleton body as well burnt off the clothes showing his muscular like bone body.
Ash: "Let's party!"
Shouting as that was the signal to fight as he rushed over to grab a nearby chair and slams it against a Mandalorian as the rest fire at Vos, the jedi used his reflexes to avoid the bolts being fired at him as well begins disarming them. While Ash, was going about doing his fighting in a rather unpredictable like manner such as using chairs to cause the men to lose their focus. However the men used their flamethrowers on the rabbit as two of the deathwatch members continued to light him on fire, Vos looked at he was able to put one to sleep merely looked as Ash was toasted. However the two heard laughing as Ash walked over and grabbed the men's wrists, crushing their mini flamethrowers the helmet warriors were shocked at Ash still alive.
Ash: "I was born in hell, what your doing is making my bones hotter!"
Scaring the two as he makes the two hit each other's head, there were now three as Vos smiled which the battle quickly ended with them being stunned in the back. They looked to see none other than Satine who brought in reinforcements as the guards rushed in to remove the men's jetpacks and gear so they didn't try anything.
Quinlan Vos: "Duchess, I thought you escaped with the others?"
Satine Kryze: "I've always gone against violence, but there is a limit when it comes to attacking my home and friends."
Informing that she was a peaceful woman, to a point which Ash could tell as she looked at the table as well chairs Ash used on the men as she gave him a look.
Ash: "I never used any weapons, just simple decorations. Which I must say, are nice."
Which earned him a smile as she thanked the rabbit as well Jedi master for aiding her as the two looked around seeing the mess as Vos went over to pat him on Ash's shoulder.
Quinlan Vos: "You may not like this galaxy that much, but it's beginning to grow on you. Give it a chance, you won't know what to expect."
Giving Ash a suggestion of him trying to like the galaxy, sure it had it's problems as well figures who disliked the way he works. But, there are some people who might like he's since it was efficient as well saved people from being hurt in this time of war.
