Introduction: As some of you know, Jango Fett was recently given background information on Lucasarts' Star Wars: Bounty Hunter website. In this story I will combine that biography with my own ideas to create a more detailed background story. I hope all of you fellow Jango and Star Wars fans will like this one. Anyway, let's get this show on the road.

Rise of a Bounty Hunter
Chapter 1: Battle at Concorde Dawn
Laser fire filled the air as civillians fled the streets and into the supposive safety of their homes. The two warring factions clashed in a battle of supremacy, two mercenary factions, the Mandalores and the Death Watch. A few families were not out of the way yet however. The war between the Mandalores and Death Watch was a truly barbaric thing to see for anyone observing from even a safe distance. The Mandalores kept marching forward in their high tech armor that was covered in symbols of their clan. The Death Watch was less high tech but even so, they had the same fighting enthusiasm that the Mandalores had. The Death Watch commander stood on top of fallen rubble ordering his forces. "This is our finest hour men! Slaughter everyone foolish enough to oppose us! Let the streets of this city be covered with the bodies of our Mandalore enemy." The commander shouted.
One family sat on the sidelines huddled together hoping that they would survive the conflict. A man who was at least 6'1" stood in front of a woman and a boy who was no older than ten. All three of them wore clothes that said they were average citizens of Concorde Dawn. The boy and woman had a fairly dark complexion while the man has a light one.
The battle raged on for thirty more minutes, the family still remained there and looked up when the firing stopped. The Mandalores were defeated, the casualties? Who knows. The Death Watch commander observed the carnage and laughed. "All right boys, let's level this city."
The Death Watch troopers started storming buildings and blaster fire mixed with the screams of civillians could be heard. Three troopers approached the small family and glared at them menacingly. "All right you sorry bunch of Dianoga snacks, stand up!" The head trooper shouted.
The male stood up holding his hands up and the female and the boy did the same. "You can do what you want with me, but let my family go." The male said with fear in his eyes.
"Shut up, orders are orders. Fire." The head trooper snarled.
All three troopers fired their blaster rifles at the man. He let out a cry of pain and fell backwards to the ground. The female screamed and the boy stepped backwards.
"Get out of here Jango! Go!" The female shouted.
"Damn stupid civillians. Kill them both!" The leader yelled.
Jango ran down the street sidewalk as he heard blaster fire and the scream of his mother. Tears formed in his eyes as he heard more blaster fire, he quickly wiped them away. A few lasers shots were fired his way, they missed him. He heard even more shots fired and fell to the ground holding on to his leg. He noticed a large hole in his right pant leg and a large burn on his skin. The boy quickly crawled into the near by building. Suddenly the sounds of laser fire filled the air again, Jango slowly looked outside to see more Mandalores appear on the battlefield. He heard the Death Watch commander curse and retreat leaving his men to die. The Mandalores, this time, quickly overpower the Death Watch troops. 'Clever, they let them think they won and used that against them in another wave...' Jango thought to himself. He heard footsteps nearing his location. "Life signs coming from this direction, sir." He heard a voice say.
Jango crawled backwards. 'Why should I bother to escape... I have nothing to live for anymore...' As he finished his thoughts two Mandalorian warriors appeared at the entrance of the building. One who is fairly tall stands in front of another who was slightly shorter. The one in the front stood straight wearing black armor with a brown border surrounding his helmet visor. "Hey, kid, are you okay?" The black armored figure asked. 'These guys are more merciful than the other side...' Jango thought to himself.
"Does it look like it!?" Jango snaped realizing that may not have been the wisest thing to say.
"This kid has spirit, don't you think so Geris?" The leader said facing in the other Mandalores direction.
The other Mandalore, wearing brown armor with a red border surrounding his visor looks to his Commander and gave a simple and calm reply "Yeah."
"I like that. I am Jaster Mereel, Commander of the Mandalorian mercenary group. What about you kid?" The Mandalore asked.
"Jango... Jango Fett." Jango said eying the warrior suspiciously.
The Mandalore kneeled down and looked at Jango in the face. "How about we get you out of here and get you fixed up back at our main ship?" Jaster asked.
"What do you want out of me?" Jango asked looking even more suspicious at the warrior.
"Heh" The Mandalore laughed a bit. "Don't worry about that right now, let's just help you out there Jango. Just trust me." Jaster finished. He looked around "Where are your parents?"
"Dead, Mereel..." Jango responded.
"..." A few moments of silence pass then Jaster spoke "Let's get you to our ship. Oh! You can call me Jaster." Then the warrior looked at his friend "All right Geris, have the retreating Death Watch ships been destroyed?" He asked.
"No, sir. The Command ship escaped, but the rest were destroyed by our ships." The other Mandalore replied.
"All right then, let's go." Jaster said.
Jaster picked up Jango like hes a little kid much to Jango's anger. The Mandalore's left the city, and boarded their transports, and then left the planet of Concorde Dawn. While they approached the main ship Jango gazed out the window and looked upon the world while thoughts of his future rushed into his head. The transport entered the hangar of the Mandalorian Command ship. The once average boy, Jango Fett, with no friends or family left alive, he also had no idea where his destiny would take him. Tears once again filled his eyes...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Note: Jango may look like a wimp now, but over time in the clan of the Mandalores he will become battle hardened as you may expect, into the cold hearted killer we see in Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Reviews (Good and bad) would be greatly appreciated, also it will let me know people are actually reading the story giving me the enthusiasm to continue this story.
