Disclaimer: I think you know the drill by now.

Introduction: This chapter will complete the short history section as well as introduce the upcoming climax of the story, it all ends soon. As for some continuity errors, I reccommend people who read Chapter 14 when the Battle with Montross existed to re-read, I had to take it out because Jango never knew Montross was on Galidraan (Whether he actually was or wasn't is never actually clear.) There was also a short space battle added; anyway, time to continue.

Chapter 16: Exile

Jaster looked at Jango and continued his story, "My father returned alone, he told his comrades about the setup but not what happened to the Death Watch, I doubt he took them all down, probably just a few then he escaped. To continue, he was given command of the Mandalores, this made a hotshot comrade of Dergiss' very upset, Goron was considered one of the best at the time, he managed to slay many Death Watch in the first battle with the rival clan. Then came the day his jealousy took over and he tried to kill my father. It was a mission on the remote world of Danuta..."

***

It was late at night on the rocky suraface of Danuta, Dergiss stood proud in his armor and voiced over his helmet communicator "Goron, Nexis; after the main attack begins we're going to sneak into the main base, come to my coordinates when possible..."

A few affermatives were voiced over his listening device.

The army of the Mandalores ran forward over the rocky surface of Danuta, their armor shined in the moonlight. The land then lit up with red, orange, and yellow as blaster and blaster rifle shots appeared in all directions, the battle began.

"Heavy resistance Commander!" A blue armored Mandalore with a purple helmet visor border, Nexis; said running up to Dergiss.

Dergiss nodded and said "These pirates are a viscious bunch, let's move out."

The three warriors raided the base and fought off many rifle wielding pirates until they finally reached the storage room. "Alright Commander, any brilliant ideas for getting this stuff out?" Goron asked mockingly.

"I'm not going to start with you again Farik, let's just get these crates out of here so we can bring them back to their rightful owners."

"To hell with your orders Mereel!" Goron shouted and raised his blaster rifle then fired a shot at Dergiss purposly missing.

Dergiss who barely flinched raised both of his blaster pistols and shouted "What do you think you are doing Goron!?"

Nexis raised his blaster rifle as well and aimed it at Goron. Goron fired again but Mereel quickly jumped out of the way and pulled back a switch on one of his blasters and fired a blue round blast at Farik, Farik fell to the ground. "Great, now we have to carry the traitor and the crates..." Nexis said.

***

"What happened then?" Jango asked Jaster.

"Well, my father put Goron on trial and banished him from the Mandalores. Goron found the Death Watch and I assume killed the leader at the time and replaced him as Commander. Then came a battle on the rocky world of Fest..."

***

"Let's go, the Death Watch are here; I know it!" Dergiss shouted to his squad that was following him very closely. On a tall rocky ledge stood a lone figure cloaked in shadows he raised a blaster rifle and aimed at straight torwards Dergiss and pulled the trigger.

Dergiss fell to the ground with a large blaster burn in the front of his armor. His followers looked all around searching for the sniper and when they did see him he was already running away. "Commander!" Shouted one of the warriors in the front as he ran over to check Dergiss' pulse. "He's dead..." He said a few moments later.

***

"Why didn't the Death Watch fall there?" Jango asked.

"They got away, the Mandalores defeated them causing a retreat, they fled along with Goron who had the only rifle capable of sniping, that was seen anyway. I was twenty one at the time, I was in Command of another squad when they sent me a transmission saying my father was killed. He chose me to be his successor, and I've been in command ever since... Anyway, all of this talk about betrayal and death is making me tired, you should be getting to bed yourself Jango."

"All right, good night Jaster." Jango said.

"Good night Jango." Jaster replied.

***

Jango thought about how Goron gained vengance upon Dergiss for banishing him, and even took it out on his son Jaster... Jango also wondered if Montross could be after a similar goal, it wasn't long after this he fell into a deep sleep...

"Wake up scum!" Shouted a guard kicking Jango waking him up instantly from the hard and cold metal surface of the prison cell. Jango got up rubbing where the guard kicked him and walked over to the cell exit not saying a word, he knew that if he did it would only make things worse...

Two years passed, two years of working non-stop all day, having short sleeping periods at night, and being beat constantly. For two years Jango grew more cold and angry as he regained his strength and began plotting how he would escape and reclaim what was rightfuly his as well as seek vengance for himself and his fallen Mandalorian comrades...

***

Montross sat in his ship smirking, during the two years after the battle at Galidraan he became one of the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy, he got a sick and twisted thrill out of watching his prey beg for mercy and denying them it. He didn't know that his old enemy Jango was still alive, he put the events on Galidraan far behind him not caring about his treachory. He pressed a few buttons and selected another target to hunt, his computer gave the profile details and he entered hyperspace.
