The Battle and Good News

As the Assassins moved in with their Geonosian Electro-Staffs, Jango the Mandalore and Aril tried their best to cut each one down to size. Out of the original 50 Assassins, only 30 of them were left. Jango kept firing shots at anything he saw, except for his "allies". They must be force-sensitive. After a few round of rapid-shooting, Jango cut down 3 of his 5 current targets. 27 left, that's good…but too overwhelming soon enough. Just then Mandalore threw a flash grenade and sent 50 volleys of shots at the Assassins, cutting down 10 Assassins. Impressive, most impressive. Aril kept dodging blaster bolts and electro-staffs, but it was starting to get overwhelming. When he thought of death, he turned a bit darker. What's happening to me now…oh no, it's happening to me again. Need to stop…need to stop…. As Aril said that, he suddenly sent Force-Lightning out into the cluster of Assassins, killing off ten more of them. Finally Jango threw a thermal Detonator, killing the last dozen and denting the wall.

After Mandalore catched his breath, he noticed how much pain he was in. When Aril noticed that the Mandalore was wincing and coughing up blood, he went over to him. "Here sir, I can heal-" Two of Mandalores many servants came out of nowhere and started to apply Bacta to Mandalore and Jango's wounds, but not to Aril. "Go heal yourself, jedi fool," said the Mandalore in Galactic Basic.

"Since when did you learn Basic Mandalore? I thought you were only allowed to speak Mandoa." Jango said quizzically.

"I can only speak Basic to the one of prophecy, which is you Jango of the Fett clan."

"What are you talking about? What prophecy?" Jango said very frustratingly.

"Go back to your ship to rest. We will talk tomorrow. You have received two messages, I believe. Don't ask me how I know, just go." Mandalore ordered the two beat up warriors.

As Jango boarded the Slave I, he noticed that Mandalore was correct. There were two messages. One from the Council and one from Sifo-Dias in the Ravager. When Aril came to the bridge, Jango started the coded message first.

"Fett, you shouldn't have come, but it's too late now. Stay alive and we'll be on Mandoa tomorrow to speak with the Mandalorians, and with you. Dias and Vos out" said the Jedi Master Sifo-Dias.

"That was interesting, let's see what the Council has to say," said Aril.

The Jedi Council message was quite different.

Yoda's small body appeared on the holoscreen. He said, "Hunter Fett, felt a great disturbance, we did. Found Sifo-Dias and Vos you have. Part one of mission complete, it is. You must get the armor, but it will be much harder now. A prophecy, you have become part of. Fulfill it to gain the armor we want, you must. If not, death will come to you. May the Force be with you, and good luck on your Hunt."

"I feel this is a trap, but a trap set against someone else, and not us. We should keep going, and let the future play out accordingly."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," was Jango's reply.
