((Welcome everybody to chapter 3. I've decided to take this fic on a turn towards a bit more of a Bounty Hunter storyline. For those of you who haven't played the game don't worry. I won't assume much, and my only plan is to work a few of the characters from the game into this fic. Thats about it, and I''ll make sure to tell you what happened to them in the game. If I drop a name that you don't undestand, just search it on the Star Wars database and you'll get an in depth description of her/him. Well here we go, and oh yeah don't sue me, I'm just writing a fanfic here))

Chapter 3

Runai's hands wrapped coldly around the sleeping boy's neck as she prepared to end his life with one quick twist. Jango, meanwhile, was sleeping unsuspectingly in the next room over. He had thought his son was trained well and would never do something as foolish as falling asleep against the bars of the holding cell.
"And now you die.....huh...?"
Runai felt pressure on her hand and looked down to inspect to see if the boy had woken up. Alas Boba was still asleep, yet he had wrapped his hand around her own and was squeezing it gently.
"Mommy..." he said softly, a tear forming in his eye. Boba so longed for the mother that he never had. He knew he was different, and it was strange to be brought up in the fashion that he was. But even so he couldn't help but envy those who he saw around him, most with both of their parents to care for them.

Runai's breath got caught in her throath as her resolve to kill him dissapeared at an alarming rate. Her hand trembled as she attempted to snap his neck, but for some reason her muscles wouldn't respond and her fingers did nothing more then tremble gently against the boy's throat.
"Shit...." she grumbled lowly. She grimaced unhappily as she glanced down at the sleeping boy. As she watched, his tears turn to contentment from the proximity of her hand. She couldn't help but smile lightly. She quickly made the smile dissapear though and sighed. The sigh started as one of annoyance, but it ended in one of peace. She knew by not killing him she insured her own safety a litte bit longer.
She shook her head gently and wrapped her arms around the boy as she allowed him to rest in her arms.
"God I hate kids. I hate hate hate hate....hate....hate...." she looked down again at Boba. "....hate....them..."
"Oh gawd........" she moaned softly as she rested her head against the bars. She soon felt herself become groggy as she slowly slipped into a peaceful sleep.

Runai was woken up with a start as she slammed into the back of her cell and opened her eyes to see the barrel of a laser pistol pointed right between her eyes.
"What the hell were you doing?" came a stern voice.
She glanced up to see Jango's stern face staring down at her as she quickly attempted to assess the situation.
"What are you yapping about at this early in the morning?" she said with annoyance, yet still pressed herself against the wall in a vain attempt to get away from the blaster.
"Boba." he said, glancing towards his son. "You were trying to strangle him weren't you?" he said in an accusing tone.
"What?! No, I was, but....then...I mean." she sputtered in confusement. She was confusing her real plan and what really happened, and couldn't recall exactly what had happened.
"He was just lying there. And....seemed lonely. Its hard not having a mother around, especially when your a little kid." she looked up at him. "You know that just as well as I do!"
Her attempt to strike him in the heart didn't work, and he seemed more annoyed that she knew so much about his past.
"You, shut up. Now I'm going to talk to my son and ask what really happened. If I find out you were trying something. I'll kill you. Now stay put." he said simply and turned around. Boba stared at her strangely. Jango's violent entrance had woken the young boy up before he himself had even noticed her arms around him. At this current moment, Boba was as confused as Runai.

Jango quickly dragged the boy into the galley and stared at him.
"What the hell were you doing?"
"What...I don't know what..."
"Sleeping, sleeping against the cell. How many times have I told you to be careful about the people in there."
"I don't know what happened...."
"Sleeping gas...it must of been. No, she wouldn't of fallen asleep as well. A poison! It could kick in at any moment!"
Boba shook his head quickly, waving his arms around.
"No no no. I feel fine, really! Um, I don't even know what's going on."
Jango pondered for a moment the possibility that she really was just holding him. Yet in his mind, it just didn't add up.
"Alright, we'll just forget this ever happened. I don't know what she was doing. But good or bad it seems no damage was done. Besides I need her. I don't want to get hasty and kill her now, since I can always do that later. Come." Jango said quickly motioning him back into the cell room.
"You there. Stand up."

Runai blinked then nodded, standing. Then a cross expression contorted her face.
"I'm not your slave!"
"Your right, your my prisoner. Now do as your told, and maybe I'll let you live. Now listen up." he said crossing his arms.
Runai had a cynical expression as she prepared to listen to what "the great bounty hunter" had to say.
"Now. I have a job for you. It involves the fact that your the only one I believe could pass as a perfect duplicate of myself. Your madalorian outfit, although different, is similar enough so that it may fool many into thinking you're me."
"Actually I've been doing that for years..." she said with a smirk.
Jango ignored her.
"Anyhow, there is a job that has been handed to me. And I need you to...."
Runai saw right where this was going.
"How much, and whats my cut?" she asked bluntly.
"How about I'll let you live."
"Since I will be acting as your decoy, I could just get caught and tell them where you are." she said with the same smirk.
"Fine. 5%"
"20!"
"15"
"18!"
"Fine 18% and not a credit more."
Runai smiled.
"Works for me. Now how much is the bounty for."
Jango stayed silent.
"Don't tell me its so small that my cut will be a handful of credits." she groaned.
"100 million..." he said simply.
She mouthed what appeared to be word "100 million". Runai stumbled back a few steps as she attempted to regain her footing. She breathed quickly as she looked down at her hands.
"My cut would be 18 million credits. That could set me for life!"
"A few lifetimes actually." Jango said softly.
"So will you do it?"
Runai looked up at him astonished.
"If the rewards is as you say it is. I'm more then in. I guess I won't kill you. At least until THIS hunt is over." Runai exclaimed with a wink.

"Now tell me the details. Who are WE hunting?"
Jango got a sickening feeling in his stomach as he thought about those words. But he pushed the feeling to the back of his mind and focused on the transmission he had gotten from that mysterious sender.

Jango had been sitting in the pilots seat of Slave 1. They had been travelling in hyper-space on route to Coruscant to see if there were any good bounties posted there. Suddenly the transponder turned on by itself as a garbled voice spoke.
"Jango Fett. The greatest bounter hunter to ever live. I have a hunt for you that will be like no other. Well, almost like no other. I have followed your exploits of your hunt for the late Komari Vosa and I was very impressed. Because of your great achievements over the years I am offering you a hunt of even greater value. I will pay 100 million credits upon the delivery of this bounty dead or alive, either way the reward is the same. On the planet Ryloth, there is a stronghold near the southern hemisphere. The Twi'lek officials there have become concerned by what they have seen transpire there. Demons have been said to have been seen romaning this fortress. All those who have been sent to investigate have never returned. Rumor has it that there is absolutely no way in or out of this stronghold, and the one inside must be of immense power. Many Twi'lek have dissapeared ever since the surfacing of this fortress, and the Twi'lek government is concerned and wants the stronghold destroyed. Thats where you come in my accomplished Bounty Hunter. The governement is troubled, yet they are not the ones offering the bounty. I am a third party who simply wishes to see how you deal with this situation. I can guarentee you that the rumors are all true. There is no way to get in our out of this fortress, and the one inside IS of immense power. It is your choice Jango Fett. Are you up for the hunt? What is 100 million worth to you?"
The long transmission ended in a mocking tone as Jango stared at the monitor, the beeping of the ship's instruments slowly coarsing through his brain.
"Demons...demons..." he thoughts out loud. He recalled his fights with Bando Gora. Never before had he seens creatures that were so demonic. But Vosa was dead, so they couldn't be the Bando Gora. But who could it be?
"I guess I'll have to find out." he said as he stood up. He would finish his work with Tyranus as his body guard, then head straight for Ryloth.

"So thats your plan?" Runai said with a suprised look. "You want me to distract the guards while you find a way to sneak in. You're insane. I'll be killed!"
"So you don't want in?" he said with a smile.
She gritted her teeth and glanced around the cell.
"25% of the reward, and I want out of this cell." she said, looking up at him again. She then extended her arm towards him.
Jango looked down at it, then glanced at his son.
Boba nodded slowly, thinking that it was a good plan.
Jango grabbed Runai's hand and shook it slowly.
She smirked as she stared at him.
"No way in or out huh? The defences must be pretty incredible. I probably won't live through it."
"If your as good as you say you are, you will." he replied.
She stared at him for another moment as she drew her hand back to herself.
"Hmmmm you have really pretty eyes you know that?" she said with a soft smile.
No levity could be seen on Jango's face.
"No I didn't." and with that he opened the cell door and let her out.
She walked out slowly and pushed herself up against him, whispering softly in his ear.
"I wouldn't hurt to be a little nicer to your new partner ya know."
He moved back and step and looked down at her.
"Funny, thats what my last partner said to me. She was a lot like you."
"She? You had a partner before me? What happened to her?
He turned away from her and started to walk away, but then stopped.
"I shot her in the neck with a poisonous dart to keep her from talking. Thats what." he then continued to walk.

Runai looked down to Boba and then gulped.
"Oh...great...."
Boba looked up at her.
"I think dad likes you more though. He probably won't kill you as quickly as her." he said with a laugh and followed after his dad.
"God, what a family. I can't believe I wanted to......" she coughed gently and followed after them as well.

Later...

"We're arriving in Ryloth airspace." Boba said as he pressed a few of the control buttons.
"Good." Jango simply said as he moved his helmet around on his head so that it fit better. He glanced over to see the fully armored Runai next to him.
"You ready?" he said.
She nodded slowly then crossed her arms.
"How am I supposed to fight without a weapon. You still don't trust me with a gun of any sort."
"I barely trust you with your armor on..... Fine then, come here."
She walked over to him, and he walked up to her, moving his hands quickly around her neck.
Runai was taken off guard by these actions, but before she could ask she looked down to see something fastned around her neck.
"Aww a necklace. Yes I will marry you!" she said with a laugh. Suddenly the necklace started to beep softly and she let out a slight "eep"
"Thats right. Its an exposive device that I can set out with the touch of a button at any time. You look at me the wrong way, and I'll blow your head off." he said with a smile. "Now then. Here!"Jango said, tossing her the bazooka rifle that he had taken from her earlier. Well he handed it to her actually, since the the thing was so heavy he could barely lift it. Her strength had been another thing that had attracted him to use her as a suitable decoy.

He looked at her, as she questionably picked up the rifle to see that it was fully loaded.
"I trust you. But not a lot. So you better use that thing for the mission and nothing else. Prove useful here and I might keep you."
She looked up at him, checking the fasteners on her own helmet.
"Keep me? Don't worry MASTER, I will do anything within my power to serve you." she said, sarcasm dripping from her mouth.
Jango just stayed silent and turned towards Boba.
"Boba, you stay on the ship. If you get a radio transmission from me, come down quickly and pick me..."
"Us!" Runai chimed in.
Jango groaned.
"Pick us up."
Boba laughed.
"Right dad."
"Good boy."
Jango slowly stood up straight and hoilstered his dual blaster pistols.
"Now then, lets be off shall we."
Both him and Runai both stood at the entrance to the piloting room side by side with one another. Each were fully equipped and armed with all the gadgets each had implemented into their suits. Their "T" shaped visors glistened slighlty as they both look towards Boba Fett. Boba's eyes widened a bit as he stared at them.
"The stronghold's coordiantes are already set in the computer. Just guide us in and drop us off on a nearbye cliff. From there Runai will fly over and create a diversion, while I sneak into the back. If Runai is able to fend off the guards...."
"WHEN Runai fends off the guards." Runai corrected once again.
Jango just laughed this time.
"Right, when Runai fends of the guards. She will meet me at the front gate where I will let her in. Together we will close in on this mysterious bounty, and either capture or eliminate him. Are you ready?" he said turning towards Runai.
"And raring! I almost feel bad for the poor sap with that price on his head." she chuckled softly.
"Good, hold the fort for us while we're gone Boba."
"Right dad, Runai. Good luck!" he said with a smile, giving them a thumbs up.
Runai smirked, slinging her bazooka over her shoulder.
"Don't worry Boba. Mom and dad will be back before you can say 100 million credits!" she said with an enthusiastic laugh, walking out the door.
Jango was caught off guard by her wording as he slowly followed behind her.
Boba meanwhile sat back in his chair, enjoying the ring of what she had said.
"Dad AND Mom....hmmm"

Elsewhere though things were not so pleasent. A figure sat in a dark room, a glowing blue panel in front of him. The panel helped the figure to realize that Jango Fett was near.
"Come bounty hunter...." the figure said softly. The person turned slowly, expecting there to be someone to be there, ready for its beckons. Yet the person had forgetten that their were no more servents left. They had all been destroyed by that Bouny Hunter.
"Curse him. I will have my revenge!" the figure said seething with dark energy.
A flicker of red shrouded the room with blood-like light as the figure's face became illuminated.
Komari Vosa, stabbed both of her lightsabers into the ground, seething with rage just at the thought of the name Jango Fett.
"I will make him my slave." the sound of her own words make her cackle with delight. Darkness soon covered her once again, as she withdrew her lightsabers back into their sheaths. Regaining her composure, she sat back down, her pupil-less eyes staring into the blue light.

To be continued....

((Well there it is, chapter 3. Now let me give you some backstory unto why I made the choices I made. I chose Ryloth because I personally thought Oola was good looking, and I just like Twi'lek's in general. And wished they got more screen time then just dying a whole lot. Also, I personaly liked Komari Vosa a lot, and thought she was one of the coolest evil jedis ever. I think she's much better then Darth Tyranus, an old guy who doesn't look very formidable. And if you're wondering how the hell she survived. Just wait until the next chapter and you just may find out. Until then, this is your friendly neighborhood Genro signing off))
