An Admiral's Tale - Chapter Nine
Fulfillment
I was running towards the highest point in Ahto City. Every second, every step I took and every breath I exhaled counted now. I had to get out of there before Revan found me, it was fortunate that I had done enough to stop her from loving me and get her thinking like the true Sith Lord she is again but now I would be most fortunate if I escaped with my life. I waited on the balcony, the smugglers ship was nowhere to be seen. I kept waiting.
"So it's the Republic Rancor making his escape." I knew that voice, I turned around. Canderous. I knew he'd come to pick a fight, "You think you can just sleep with a lady then run away? You're a weak man, Carth." He told me, I smirked at him.
"I wasn't the one that slapped Bastila." I retorted to him, I wanted to break him like he broke me the day we sparred. The idea that I had slept with Bastila was suddenly attractive. I was going to torture the Mandalorian I loathed for so long. He walked closer to me and stopped around ten feet from my standing form.
"I'm going to have fun breaking you little man, this is a matter of pride.. Your foolish charms wrecked the whole plan of Bastila becoming Sith Lord and because of that Revan won't feel any mercy for you. Heh. It almost comforts me, if I don't break you. Revan will instead. How embarassing, a woman, breaking you in half." He taunted at me, I laughed at him and smirked.
"Ahh.. Well. How embarassing, a man, breaking you in half." I charged for him and punched him with a right hook, it stunned him a little bit but he was a Mandalorian. He'd come back. Canderous pounced onto me and I tumbled onto the floor. He began kicking me while I was down, "Coward!" I yelled at him. I managed to hook my legs around his feet and send him crashing onto the ground.
I wanted to play with his mind a little more. "It was fun with Bastila, I don't even think she cared for you last night." Canderous' features turned to thunder, his face became distorted with anger as his teeth were tightly gnawing against each other. He wanted my blood. He wasn't going to get it. I wanted his blood more.
He tackled me head first into my stomach as I went crashing into the wall, my head slammed against the metal surface as I brought my knee up to an extremely sensitive area of his anatomy. Canderous managed to block and broke the wrestle we got ourselves into. He went to jab me in the face. I quickly ducked sending his fist straight into the wall. He yelped in pain as some of his fingers broke under the impact.
"Had enough, Canderous?" I asked him. His face was still filled with anger, his brow was furrowed. He was panting, breathing wildly in rage. I can't forget the look on his face, it was a look that said it all. He wanted to kill me in cold blood.
"I will never have enough of the battle, especially when I break every bone in your body!" He exclaimed to me, this time I was on the defensive. I felt a flurry of punches come up to my face and then I felt the familiar gush of ruby red blood. I retaliated, delivering enough flurries of my own to knock out a Rancor.
Unfortunately, Mandalorians are not Rancors.
It wasn't working, Canderous was just too strong for me. I had to find a way to knock him out and fast. Time was becoming way too tight.
He charged for me with both of his hands and I grappled them both with my own hands. It was suddenly a game of strength and I knew I was going to be vastly overpowered by this brute. I wasn't aware of it but Canderous had slipped a blade into his overcoat, it slipped through into his right hand while we were wrestling but I still didn't see it until it was too late.
"Ah!" I gasped as I felt the blade slice across my right cheek. This was getting desperate. Canderous had a weapon, I had my bare fists. I touched my cheek and my hand was filled with thick blood.
"And you call yourself a Mandalorian!" I taunted at him. I knew then that the cut was going to leave one bad scar. He charged for me with his weapon and I dodged out the way, I knew this was my chance. I skillfully headbutted Canderous and he was dazed for a moment. At that point, I swore I saw some movement out the corner of my eye. I ignored it.
"Weak.. Pathetic.. Mandalorian." I said to the rabid Kath Hound, making him even angrier.
"I'll kill you SCUM!" He ran towards me in a fit of rage and gave me ample time to scissor kick him in the jaw, the force of the kick threw his head back and knocked him out cold.
He fell onto the floor in a heap. "Fulfillment.. Finally." I whispered to his unconcious body.
I heard some snickering behind me, I was not imagining that movement after all. Then came the mock-like clapping.
"Bravo!"
