Introduction: Now that Jaster is dead and Jango is in Command, he continues his pursuit of Farik Goron, the Death Watch Commander who took everything away from him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

Chapter 10: Mandalorian Honor

Jango ran down the empty corridors of the Death Watch fortress in pursuit of it's leader Farik Goron. He remembered his parents and how his father died to try and keep him and his mother safe, and how his mother died to let him escape. Then he remembered how Jaster took him in raising and training him for seven years, now Jaster is also dead, killed by the same man who killed his parents, he would never forgive Farik Goron and he knew he would have his head before the day was done.

***

The Mandalorians and Death Watch battle outside the fortress was nearing an end. The Mandalorians finally broke through the Death Watch's strong garrison and most of the Death Watch soldiers lie dead on the rocky surface of the moon. A Mandalorian Captain stood barking orders to push onward. Soon the entire Death Watch clan would be eradicated...

***

Farik looked outside onto the battlefield through the Command Center's office. He sent every man out onto the battlefield today, including the officers that were inside this very room, he was alone and he knew it.

Farik began thinking 'So Jaster, you kept your clan going strong all these years even after your setup, how you avoided the Jedi I don't know, but you're dead now, the Mereel name will no longer hold any meaning in the Galaxy. Even if I do die here I'll die knowing I put an end to your treacherous bloodline.' As he finished the door behind him opened. Farik turned around to face a silver armored Mandalor holding two blaster pistols at him.

"Who the hell are you!?" Farik shouted.

"Does it matter lowlife?" Jango said looking as if he'll fire at any moment.

"Killing people in cold blood is not allowed according to the Mandalorian code, and I seriously doubt Jaster would have changed that." Farik said glaring at Jango.

"He didn't, that's why I'm going to give you a fighting chance whether you deserve it or not." Jango said waving his right blaster around a bit.

Farik held up his blaster rifle and aimed it at Jango. "Alright then kid, try me." Farik fired two blaster shots at Jango and he rolled out of the way. Farik fired another shot and Jango jetpacked back and fired a couple shots. Farik quickly evaded the blaster bolts almost running into a control station. Jango unleashed his whipcord and it wrapped around Farik, he tugged on the cord pulling Farik down to the ground.

"You remind me of Jaster boy." Farik said struggling.

"He tought me a lot." Jango said aiming a blaster at Farik. Farik carefully moved his blaster up a bit and fired hitting Jango in the leg. Jango fell on one knee holding his wounded leg with his hand. Farik laughed and broke out of the whipcord entaglement. He got up and aimed his rifle at Jango's head.

"I can see he tought you much, you pull the same stupid stunts..." Farik said while getting ready to pull the trigger. Jango clenched his fist and uppercutted Farik sending him flying backwards. His rifle fell to the floor, Jango walked over to the wounded and defensless mercenary Commander and picked him up by his neck. Jango took the struggling Farik over to a window and pushed him through still hanging on, the glass shattered into millions of pieces and fell to the battlefield at least one hundred feet below.

"You killed my parents and Jaster, you don't deserve mercy." Jango said while strangling Farik.

"If your big friend hadn't been so foolish Jaster might have survived." Farik said struggling to breathe.

"What!?" Jango shouted.

"Montross... I knew him when... I was in your... clan..." Farik continued.

"Montross is responsible for Jaster's death!?" Jango responded in a raised voice.

"Well his foolish... action... yes..." Farik said running out of breath.

Jango waited a few moments then spoke up "Don't think that's going to save you from death Goron, you took too much away from me, now it's time for you to pay, and the cost is your life." After this Jango released his grip and Farik fell to the ground of the battlefield dead. Jango turned back torwards the doorway and coldly walked out of the control room.

As Jango walked outside he was greeted by Verok and Montross. Montross was the first to speak "You are no different than Jaster, Jango! You'll lead us all to death! I've seen you in action before on numerous missions!" He shouted furious.

Jango furiously looked at him and spoke up "Well Montross if you give up on our ways then go ahead, I'm exiling you from the Mandalores anyway."

"What!?" Montross shouted enraged.

"You heard me, you are responsible for Jaster's death with your foolish tactics." Jango said calmly and walked torwards the rest of the army.

Verok looked at Montross who removed his helmet and anyone looking at him could see his anger. He looked at Verok and took off his rank badge then threw it to the ground in front of Verok. He just glared at Verok and walked off to one of the troop transports. Verok looked after him and shook his head then walked back to the Relic to wait for Jango passing the bloody body of Farik along the way, he just looked down at it for a few moments, then kept on walking.

***

The funeral room aboard the Huntress was now filled again, with the survivors of the battle against the Death Watch. Verok and Jango stood at the front of the room in front of the controls alongside Daris. Jango pressed a button and at least a dozen coffins entered the vaporization tube, in the front being a larger one. Verok spoke up after a few moments of silence "The casualties of this battle were high, but we prevailed. The Death Watch is now just a bad memory, but we lost many good men in this battle, including our own Commander Jaster Mereel." The crowd of soldiers looked down.

"Jaster always told us that your generation would be the ones to crush the Death Watch; his words became reality at a high price, the life of him and many other fine warriors. We all knew these brave warriors well and treated them like family, now they have passed on to the other side. It is time for us to say our final farewell to these brave heroes of the Mandalorian army." As Verok finished he signaled Jango to press the button. Jango did as he was told and the blue beam charged up and fired while Verok said the names of the fallen, Jaster's coffin turned into a blue mist then faded, one by one the other coffins were vaporized until the storage door closed. All of the soldiers continued to look down in silence for a few moments.

Verok finally spoke to the crowd "Jaster did choose a successor as you all know, I'd like you all to congratulate our new Commander, Jango Fett who is responsible for the death of Farik Goron." The crowd cheered on Jango Fett who looked upon them giving them a look that showed he would lead them all to victory, that he would continue the legacy of all Mandalorian Commanders who came before, including Jaster Mereel...

Is this the end? Of course not! The story will continue until Jango becomes a bounty hunter.
