Introduction: After completing Bounty Hunter I now have more info to continue, I went back and fixed some continuity errors in chapters 3 and 4 (nothing you need to read over for, just how Montross looks) Just know that his hair is now naturally white and his armor is bronze with a red visor border on the helmet.

Chapter 9: Death Watchers
The hangar filled with activity, it was now morning and people were running all over the place getting ready for the big battle on a moon in the Anoat system. Jaster, Jango, Montross, and Verok walked into the hangar in a horizontal formation. Jaster spoke up "Verok, Montross, get on my transport, Jango and I will be there in a minute."
"Of course Commander." Verok said saluting, he and Montross walked over to the Relic class transport.
Jango looked at Jaster worried about something. "Jango, is something wrong?" Jaster said holding his black helmet with a concerned expression showing on his face.
"I don't know... It's just, I have a bad feeling about this mission." Jango said looking at Jaster,
A smile appeared on Jaster's face, he put his right hand on Jango's left shoulder and said "You have nothing to worry about Jango, we're all going to survive this mission."
"I never get along with Montross though..." Jango said.
"No one does Jango, trust me."
"What if we all die?" Jango asked the worry now showing a lot.
"Alright Jango, I was going to keep this a secret from everyone until after we won against the Death Watch, but I think telling you this will cheer you up. After victory we're all going to planet, which I will still keep a secret; for a long deserved vacation. All of the Mandalores deserve this vacation, everyone has fought bravely against our enemies and have shown no fear when hearing the Jedi were hunting us down."
"A... Vacation? I thought we were mercenary's not common people." Jango said.
"Everyone needs a vacation Jango!" Jaster said laughing and walking Jango over to his ship.
"Trust me, where we are going will help you relax and take your mind off things. It's a beautiful planet with tall snowy mountains, sparkling lakes, large waterfalls, wonderful sunsets, and beautiful starlit night times." Jaster said.
"I never thought of you as an admirer of nature Jaster." Jango said smiling a bit.
"There's a lot about me you still don't know kid, but we'll talk more about that later. Everyone's ready to go before us, it's supposed to be the other way around. Let's get a move on!" Jaster said laughing and putting his black helmet on. Jango then put his silver helmet on.
The two boarded the Relic class ship, a large tan ship with two large engines in the rear and a small cockpit in the front. "Took you long enough Jaster." Montross said in an annoyed tone.
Jaster sat down in the pilot seat and activated the controls. "I hope you're all ready, this is going to be the biggest assault the Mandalore's have ever participated in." Jaster said with a bit of pride in his voice. The Relic class ship left the hangar and headed torwards the moon. Over a dozen standard class transports left after the Relic heading in the opposite direction. After about five minutes the Relic entered the atmosphere and headed torwards a small canyon. "We're going to land here and head to the rear of the base undetected." Jaster said. He landed the ship and the four exited.
The canyon was completely brown rock, no sign of vegitation anywhere. The four headed down the canyon holding their weapons in hand prepared for any possible ambush, after a few minutes of walking they finally saw the enemy's base in the distance.
***
The Mandalorian transports landed and dozens of warriors ran out shouting out war cries heading torwards the front of the base. The surprised Death Watch started manning turrets and started firing on the incoming assault. A couple Mandalore's fell dead to the ground but the army kept charging and firing their blasters. Two of the turret's were hit and exploded causing the gunners to fly off and onto the ground.
***
"Commander Goron! The Mandalore's are attacking!" A panicking officer shouted.
"What!? Damn you Mereel, I don't know how you found me but you've been in my way long enough." Goron shouted enraged. He ran out of the room and the officers started to shout alerts over the base communication system.
***
Jango and his group arrived at the rear doors, Jaster walked over to a large grating in the wall. "They shouldn't leave these things out in the open like this." He joked while activating his wrist cutter. He went around the outter part of the grating then kicked it in.
The four ran through the new opening and arrived in a large hangar. A squad of Death Watch ran into the room and started firing upon the four. Jango jetpacked forward and kicked one down and shot another with his rifle. Montross aimed his rifle and blasted two others without moving an inch. Verok jetpacked forward like Jango did, his golden armor and golden visor border shining in the lights above the room and shot two more with his rifle. Jaster jetpacked forward while firing his pistols in midair good enough to drop four enemies to the ground. The squad of black armored Death Watch laid motionless on the cold metal floor. Jaster than quickly spoke in an alert tone "Something tells me it's going to get more difficult from here on out, let's stay calm and work as a team." Everyone except Montross nodded in agreement.
"Montross, I allowed you to come; the least you could do is listen to me for once." Jaster said looking at the bronze armored Mandalore.
"Of course, Commander." Montross said in a mocking tone. Jaster just shook his head and opened the door, the group went through.
"Welcome Jaster Mereel, to the demise of you and your entire clan!" A voice shouted from above. Jaster looked up to see a black armored figure holding a rifle standing on a catwalk. "Farik Goron!" Jaster shouted.
***
The battle outside was now raging harder than before, lasers bolted across the landscape as the Mandalore's and Death Watch engaged in viscous combat. One Mandalore activated his wrist flame thrower igniting three Death Watch troops, they ran around screaming and fell to the ground. The Death Watch kept up their fight firing their rifles at the brave Mandalores. Two Mandalores fell to the ground with blaster burns that went through their armor. Casualties on both sides were getting high...
***
"Your good for nothing father exiled me from your clan Jaster, and I took his life for that, it was wonderful, slow and painful, he was a fool." Goron shouted down at Jaster.
Jango looked over to Jaster with a surprised facial expression under his silver helmet. "Today is your last day of fighting Farik! Enjoy it while you still can." Jaster shouted up at the Death Watch Commander. Farik laughed mockingly then said "Kill them."
The large number of Death Watch troops started firing at the four Mandalores. Jango used his whip cord and pulled back causing one of them to fall to the ground. Montross once again stood still and fired his rifle rapidly at the troops causing many of them to fall dead. Farik looking down ran through a door behind him. Jaster and Verok ignited many more Death Watch with their wrist mounted flame throwers. "Jaster, Goron went to the next hangar! Let's wipe him out!" Montross shouted while running through a door. "Montross wait!" Jaster shouted back and ran after Montross. Jango and Verok were too busy fighting more Death Watch to notice Jaster and Montross exit the battlefield.
Montross and Jaster entered another large hangar this time with even more Death Watch, the door behind them sealed shut. "Montross! What the hell have you brought us into!?" Jaster shouted.
Farik looked down at the two Mandalores and raised his rifle. He looked through a scope and aimed it at Jaster. "I think it's time I finished you off once and for all Mereel..." Farik whispered to himself as he began pulling the trigger.
Montross looked up and saw the sniping Commander. "Jaster! Look out!" Montross shouted.
Jaster turned around and looked up to see Fark Goron aiming the rifle at him, he started to activate his jetpack but it was too late, Farik pulled the trigger and a blaster bolt flew down and hit Jaster in the chest throwing him back to the ground; Jaster let out a cry of agony as he hit the ground. Montross looked at the fallen Jaster then shot up at Farik and missed. Farik ran across the catwalk out of the hangar. Montross turned around to face the other soldiers.
***
Jango heard the scream of a familure voice and looked torwards the next hangar. He quickly ran over to it, Verok finished off the last Death Watch soldier and ran up to Jango. "What happened?" Verok asked in his aged voice.
"I heard Jaster yell!" Jango said in a panickey voice. Verok looked at the door and shot a control panel next to it opening it. The two ran into the room to see Montross engaging in battle with the Death Watch.
"Where's Jaster Montross?" Jango shouted. Montross looked over to Jango and pointed to a fallen black armored figure. Jango looked shocked under his helmet and ran over to Jaster. Verok went into battle to help Montross fight off the Death Watch forces.
"Jaster, get up!" Jango shouted.
"Jan... go..." Jaster said in a weak voice.
"You're going to be fine, we'll get you to the medical droid, just hang on!" Jango shouted removing Jaster's helmet.
"No Jango, it's... too... late. It's over for me... You're in command now... Jango, take my blasters... and my ship... make me proud, don't forget what I tought you." Jaster said weakly while handing his blasters to Jango.
"No!" Jango shouted pushing them back. "You'll survive! Just hang on!"
Jaster's gray eyes looked like they were watering, he looked up to Jango and said with his last breath "Restore... our clan... to it's former... glory... Goodbye, Jango..." Jaster said closing his eyes for the last time.
"Jaster! No!" Jango shouted shaking the body of the now deceased Jaster Mereel, ex-Commander of the Mandalorian army.
The last of the Death Watch soldiers retreated and the two Mandalore's ran over to Jango. The two looked down at Jango who was still looking at Jaster's lifeless body. "Take Jaster's body to the Relic" Jango started "I'm going after Goron..." He said coldly throwing down his rifle and taking Jaster's pistols.
"Who put you in command!?" Montross argued.
"Jaster." Jango snapped back.
"That's ridiculous! A reckless kid like you will get us all killed! I've had enough!" Montross shouted storming out of the hangar.
"I'll take Jaster..." Verok said picking up Jaster's body and walking back torwards the ship. Jango looked after him and then clutched the two blaster pistols tighter and jetpacked up to the catwalk and ran after Farik Goron to avenge his parents, and Jaster...

I hope you liked this chapter, I tried to make Jaster's death a bit sad, whether it worked or not that's for you to decide.
