The Jawa, Two Droids, and Tusken Raiders
Over the next three weeks Blaze, alongside Chewbacca, Coltor, Serendibite, Vesuvianite, Gale, Zikku, Onyx, and Vesuvianite, have been hunting womp rats in an effort to get money for parts to repair the Bayonet. Apparently the womp rats' rate of reproducing on Tatooine got so bad, if not worse than their smaller counterparts on Earth that the local moisture farmers passed a bounty that is ten credits per rat killed. So far Blaze and the group managed to nab over two hundred womp rats in for the past three weeks. Now they managed to track down a womp rat broodmother who has not started a womp rat nest yet to the Jundland Wastes. Womp rat broodmothers that are killed are double the amount of credits than a normal womp rat.
"There's the broodmother. Right where we left her." Zikku pointed as the broodmother started to dig a hole to build a nest
Everyone was watching from behind a large rock. Blaze was loading her ammunition into her Winchester rifle.
"But we've got a problem though, it's building a nest at the borders of Tusken Raider camp. If the Tuskens catch us, we're in trouble." Zikku pointed at the Tusken Raider footprints near the womp rat broodmother
The group now started weighing in their options Tusken Raiders are known to be very aggressive and dangerous and have often raided settlements on Tatooine.
"I don't know guys, I don't want to end up like Cliegg Lars's wife," said Gale
"Come on Gale, that thing is a broodmother, and we almost got the right amount of credits to get parts for the Bayonet!" Coltor exclaimed
"Gale, you got Ves, Serendibite, and I. Gems are able to take on a few Tuskens," said Onyx
"Wait what happened?" asked Blaze
"About two months ago Shmi Skywalker, who was the wife of Cliegg Lars, was kidnapped by a bunch of Tusken Raiders. They tried to save her, but their efforts were in vain and Cliegg lost his leg. Poor guy was never the same after that." Vesuvianite explained
"About a month later, one night while Onyx, Ves, and I were trading with some Jawas we heard the screams of Tusken Raiders and what sounded like a lightsaber slashing things. We rushed as quickly as we could to see what was happening, but by the time we got to the Tusken camp all of them were dead and the culprit was gone." Serendibite explained
Everyone continued to weigh their options until Blaze spoke.
"I think it's worth the risk."
"(Sounds good, Zikku and I will sneak up behind it and scare it to your direction)," said Chewbacca
Blaze readied her rifle and Coltor readied his blaster pistol as Chewbacca and Zikku sneak up behind it. Chewbacca roared and Zikku yelled startling the womp rat broodmother and making her run right over to their direction. Serendibite, Old Timer, Gale, Onyx, and Vesuvianite went to either side of the womp rat to prevent it from escaping. Blaze fired her rifle and Coltor fired his blaster. The bullet from Blaze's Winchester rifle struck the womp rat's skull while the blaster bolt from Coltor's blaster struck the neck with both shots killing the womp rat instantly.
"Yeah! We got another broodmother, guys!" Blaze shouted exicitedly
"This one was a lot easier than the last womp rat broodmother," said Zikku referring to the last time they hunted a womp rat broodmother
"At least somebody didn't sneeze." Onyx turned to look at Gale
"Come on guys, you know I'm allergic to dust!"
The last womp rat broodmother the group tracked down had a nest inside of a cave that consisted of twenty-five womp rats. Before they could even fire a single shot at the broodmother, Gale had sneezed inside the cave so loud that the entire nest was alerted to their presence which led to a massive fight against the womp rats. They barely managed to escape and when they did, they blew up the entire nest with explosives, which killed the remaining womp rats.
They heard a scream and rushed to find the source. Upon finding the source they found a Jawa and two droids consisting of an R2 unit with a wampa painted on it and a red protocol droid trying to get up on top of a large rock to escape from twelve Tusken Raiders.
"What the hell?" asked Blaze upon seeing the sight
One of the Tusken Raiders tried grabbing the Jawa by the leg who threw a smaller rock at the Tusken's face. This allowed the Jawa to join the two droids on top of the larger rock.
"Someone! HELP!" the Jawa yelled
Blaze's group just stood there dumbfounded. This was the first time any of them have heard a Jawa speak Galactic Basic.
"Did that Jawa just-" before Vesuvianite could finish asking her question, Blaze started to bolt into action
"No time to talk, we have to help them!"
Blaze shot and killed two of them with her Winchester rifle. Vesuvianite, Onyx, and Serendibite drew out their Gem weapons. Onyx's weapons are a pair of chained blades similar to the Blades of Chaos from God of War, Vesuvianite's are a pair of electro-gauntlets, and Serendibite's is a double-bladed sword. Chewbacca roared and drew out his bowcaster. Gale Zikku, and Coltor drew their own blasters out and began firing at the Tuskens who drew out their slugthrowers and started firing, some of them even came running with gaffi sticks.
"Blaze, Chewbacca, Gale, and Coltor be careful those gaffi sticks might have sand bat venom on them!" Vesuvianite warned
Chewbacca and Gale were able to kill the two Tuskens wielding a slugthrowers. The rest of the Tusken Raiders were wielding gaffi sticks. One of the Tusken Raiders let out a war cry, which led to ten more running to the scene.
"Are you kidding me?!" Coltor shouted as the additional Tuskens came charging in
Onyx swung one of her blades at three of the Tuskens, one of them dodged the fiery blade, but the blade decapitated the other two as it struck their necks. Onyx notices this and decides to rectify the little problem.
"You better get over here!" Onyx shouted as she launches both flaming chained blades at the fleeing Tusken Raider, the blades went through the Tusken's back and came out through the chest, killing him
Serendibite's blade clashed with the gaffi sticks of the Tuskens. Her blade is currently locked with a Tusken Raider's gaffi stick. The two combatants struggle to wrench their weapon's out of one or the other's hands. Serendibite is able to find a weak spot and kicks the Tusken Raider's knees, causing him to double over and fall to the ground. Serendibite drove her blade into the Tusken Raider's back, killing him. Three more ran to her direction in an attempt to avenge their fallen comrade. Serendibite shoots three icicles out of her hands and shoots them into the three Tuskens' hearts, also killing them.
Chewbacca, Zikku, Coltor, and Gale shot at any Tusken that came their way, one of them got the jump on Gale, jumped on his back and grabbed him into a headlock.
"Gale!" screamed Coltor
"Guys get this psycho off of me!" screamed Gale as he tried to get out of the Tusken Raider's grip
"Hey, get off of him!" Zikku ran to pry Gale away from the Tusken raider
Zikku pulled his knife out of his pocket and stabbed the Tusken Raider in the right arm, forcing him to let Gale go. The Tusken howled in pain from being stabbed. Chewbacca approached from behind and killed the Tusken Raider by snapping his neck. Several more kept coming.
"Blaze, we could use a little help!" Coltor shouted
"I'm on it!" Blaze rushed over to where they are, and Force pushed the charging Tusken Raiders off the cliff
Vesuvianite pounded her electro-gauntlets into the ground with such intensity that it created an electrically charged shockwave that sent three Tusken Raiders flying off of the cliff. Vesuvianite grinned in satisfaction and turned to see four more Tusken Raiders trying to climb up the large rock to get to the Jawa and two droids. Blaze rushes to Vesuvianite and they both see this.
"Oh, hell no!" Blaze shouted and ran to the direction of the large rock
"Oh no you don't!" Vesuvianite follows Blaze
Blaze shoots and kills two of the climbing Tusken Raiders. Vesuvianite knocks the final two off by using an electrically charged hand clap that sends an electric shockwave at the two Tusken Raiders, knocking them off the large rock and hitting the ground. Chewbacca and Gale dealt the last blow and shot them both.
The group turns their attention to the Jawa and droids.
"Hey! Are you guys okay up there?" Zikku called them
"Thanks for saving us from those Tusken Raiders," the protocol droid said
"Who are you and what did they want with you?" asked Blaze
"The name's Aktik." The Jawa introduced himself
"The astromech with the wampa decals on his chassis is 6R-0WL." Aktik pointed at the R2 unit
"The red protocol droid is N-30H." he points at the protocol droid
"Nice to meet all of you." N-30H greeted the group
"Well, the sandcrawler we were on was looking for a new spot to set up shop when it ran out of fuel. This was when a bunch of Tusken Raiders attacked us and left the two droids and I as the only survivors. We've been chased by those savages all night and most of the morning. That is until you guys came in and saved us." Aktik explained "But, now I have no home to come to, all of my friends and family are dead, and those droids are all I have left."
Blaze and the group began to think for a while and came to a decision, to let Aktik and the droids come to the homestead with them.
"Why don't you come to the homestead with us?" Blaze suggested
"Are you guys sure? You won't mind?" asked Aktik
"(You said it yourself, you lost your home and your family. Now you those and two droids have no place else to go)," said Chewbacca
"Aktik, the Wookiee is right," said N-30H
The Jawa thinks for a bit and decides to take up his saviors' offer.
"Of course, lead the way."
Author's Note: Sorry for not positing lately, I've been having writer's block again and decided to get back into writing.
Additional Author's Note: The part where Onyx yells "You better get over here" is a reference to Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. Aktik, 6R-0WL, and N-30H are originally from the MMO based off of the Clone Wars called Clone Wars Adventures for those of you that remember the game.
