Chapter 14: Battle at Galidraan
The entire Mandalorian army exited their transports on the outskirts of Beris, which was a sandy region with a few rocks, the sand was shining brightly in the sun but the helmets that the warriors wore seemed to reduce the glare. "Alright boys, let's move out." Jango shouted tilting his head to the side so he was able to look at his men behind him. They all saluted then the mercenary army moved in. After a couple minutes the large gates of Beris stood in view, and in the front of them dozens of people, humans and aliens alike standing; waiting for something.
The leader who was wearing a brown outfit and wore a brown cape stepped to the front of the idle group. Count Dooku looked at the oncoming Mandalores and shouted "Mercenary clan of the Mandalores, you are all wanted for commiting multiple crimes against the free people of the Republic. You are ordered to stand down and surrender to the Jedi Council, or be destroyed."
Jango and his army looked at the people who called themselves Jedi. Jango heard many whispers behind him, he never fought Jedi before. Two familure faces appeared beside him, Daris and Verok in their armor. They looked at Jango with worried expressions under their faces. 'We're not going to give up without a fight.' Jango thought to himself. He turned around and faced his troops and shouted, "Listen to me men, you followed me these three years the same you followed Jaster Mereel when he was in command. Now we're being ordered to surrender without a fight; if we just surrender we would go down in shame! I say we fight until the very end! At least in fighting we actually may have a chance and not end up prisoners of the Jedi!" Jango's troops looked at him then gave out cries of enthusiasm, they were ready to engage the Jedi in combat, the most challenging foes they have ever faced.
Dooku looked upon the mercenary army in surprise, he wasn't expecting them to fight. He looked Vosa to see she was smiling, hoping for a battle. 'Looks like my experiment is working, she could become a powerful ally when the time comes...' Dooku thought to himself. Dooku after closing his thoughts on the subject shouted out to the Mandalores "Very well, if you choose death then we shall give it to you." All of the Jedi took out their lightsabers and activated them.
Jango and his following warriors took out their blasters and blaster rifles, then they all shouted war cries and started firing at the Jedi. The Jedi easily blocked the incoming bolts and ran straight at the mercenaries. Jango looked at Daris who seemed to be firing at random, could he be panicking? Jango thought to himsef. Daris activated his jetpack and flew forward into the heat of the battle. He fired at one Jedi killing him, Vosa noticed Daris' mistake on getting close and ran over to him swinging her lightsabers wildly. Daris looked back and reacted too late, Vosa swung one of her lightsabers at his torso and both his upper and bottom half hit the sand. The young Jedi then ran even further into the crowd swinging her lightsaber wildly killing at least six more Mandalores while laughing.
Jango was too busy fighting off Jedi to realize that his men were being slaughtered all around him. He aimed his blaster at one Jedi's back when all of the sudden he was flung to the side and into a large rock by an invisible force. He got up and gazed into the battle, he saw Verok fighting the young female Jedi, then he saw her decapitate him. Verok's head fell onto the sand followed by the rest of his aged body. Jango then noticed there were no more Mandalores alive... He felt dizzy and weak from his crash, he tried to get up but failed. Jango fell to the ground and the world went black.
A figure stood in the shadows behind a large rock climb and smiled at the battle, the figure had cloth attached to his back that blowed in the wind. The lone figure turned around and walked away from the sight of the slaughter.
***
The battle in space was also won by the Jedi, the stationary transports fired ion cannon blasts at the unsuspecting Huntress and it's escorts. The blue bolts hit the Huntress and the systems inside started going down, the turbo laser turrets started firing at the transports but the blue bolts kept on coming and after a few moments the Huntress' shots stopped coming. The Jedi transports boarded the ship and slaughtered or captured everyone.
***
Jango opened his eyes and found himself in a holding cell. The Governor of Beris stood sitting on a chair not far from the bed Jango was laying on. "Well, it seems you have finally woken up." The Governor said frowning at the fallen warrior. Jango now wore what seemed to be light blue prison clothes, his armor was no where to be seen.
"Where am I?" Jango asked not remembering much of what happened.
The Governor, who was wearing black clothes looked to the ground and said "You are in a prison, in my city of Beris, I am Governor Ferod Vion, a couple Jedi found you lying out there in the sand still alive. Your clan is destroyed and your starships were captured by the Jedi."
Jango looked at the Governor and an angered look filled his eyes. "You're the one who set us up!" Jango shouted.
"You're in no condition to be raising your voice Mandalore, don't even bother with threats."
"So, what are you going to do? Kill me?" Jango asked glaring angrily at the Governor.
"No, but before you find out we have some matters to discuss." The Governor said while taking out a truth-serum needle. Jango tried to move but just felt pain when he did. The Governor walked over and drove the shot into his arm." Jango let out a cry of pain, the Governor stepped back and returned to his chair placing the needle in a pocket.
"Tell me, what is your name?" The Governor asked.
Jango tried to remain silent but he couldn't "Jango Fett..." He said.
"Well, Fett; are there any more Mandalore scum out there?"
"...No..." Jango said.
"What was your role in the clan?"
"Commander..."
"Well, very interesting, I would think that the Commander would have went down fighting with his men and not run away."
"I didn't run." Jango said closing his eyes.
The Governor just looked at the relaxing Jango. "Yes, you should rest. The Jedi have placed your fate into my hands, and I have decided on what your fate shall be. I've given you a life sentence of slavery, you'll report to the primary slave site starting tomorrow morning, you'll be digging out the metal we need to build slave ships. That's how we earn our keep out here, don't worry about your armor or your old Relic, I've added them to my personal collection in my mansion. Farewell Jango Fett." As the Governor finished he got up, a guard opened the door, as soon as he left the door swooshed down and locked itself. Jango fell asleep not looking forward to tomorrow, let alone the rest of his life.
***
Dooku and his apprentice stood before the Jedi Council back on Coruscant. "The Mandalores have all been eliminated." Dooku said to the council.
"Well, that's one less threat in the galaxy." Mace Windu said looking to the ground.
"I think it's about time I took the trials, don't you agree master Dooku?" Vosa said speaking up and looking at Dooku.
Windu and Yoda looked at each other and then Yoda said "During that battle much anger and hate in you I felt; Your emotions and anger cloud your judgement, a Jedi you cannot be."
"I agree with Master Yoda," Windu started "You're too unstable and unpredictable to take the final trials. Time and again you've gone against the Jedi Order and even your master to do what you see fit. We'll decide if we should give you another chance, as of now we cannot determine your future. You are to stay inside the Jedi Temple until further notice."
Dooku looked at his Padawan unsurprised and said "Well, I tried to teach her, but she failed to learn."
"Teach her no further Dooku," Yoda started "Much anger and fear I sense in her." He finished.
Komari Vosa looked at her master, he just looked down at the floor. Enraged Vosa stormed out of the Council room, all of the council members did not seem surprised by this action.
Vosa who was walking through the hallways of the Jedi temple thought to herself 'I'll prove myself to them... I'll show them I'm ready!'
