.At Maz Palace, Blake was left sitting by her self, to which she was grateful as she preferred it at the moment. The others that she met, Chewie and Han, they were at another table drinking. Blake was still waiting for a safe drink to get from Maz, as Blake really didn't want to get drunk. After what she has seen from others who lost everything that turns to drink, the cat Faunus rather pass on that.

Soon Maz arrived then and sets a cup in front of Blake. "Here you go, child," she says in that grandmother tone she's got. Since Maz was an elder, Blake didn't feel offended at being called a child.

"Thank you," Blake replied as she accepted at what looks to be plan juice...well, Blake thinks it is as she was not sure as it didn't taste like any fruit she had before.

Maz watches the girl drink for a moment before taking a seat then. "So, young one, how is it?" She asked with a kind smile.

"It was good," Blake replies, well even if it didn't, she would still be kind to the women that gave her a free drink. "It was good, thank you, Maz," Blake says respectfully.

"That's good to know," Maz says kindly like a grandmother to the young Faunus.

The two sat in silence for a while till Max decided to break it as she talked. "So, what troubles you, my child?" Maz asked as she can tell that this girl has lots on her mind, some guilt on her chest as well.

Blake looks at her and sighs. "I have lots of things that trouble me, Ms. Maz...but I...really don't want to talk about it," Blake replied. Maz reaches out and puts a hand on her shoulder.

"It's alright, child. I understand, and I understand why you would not want to tell me we just met. Still, one day, you will have to tell someone. It is not good to hold your troubles locked in. Also, you can just call me Maz." Maz said, giving Blake some advice. "It really is not good to hold your emotions in...it will destroy you emotionally eventually and affects those that care for you."

Blake just sighed then, she knows what Maz was trying to do, she appreciated it but didn't want to talk about them. She did not want to talk about her friends that she left behind or if she had made the right choice or not. "OK, Maz," Blake said, giving Maz a small smile.

Maz could tell Blake was a good kid, just confused about how to resolve her problem. So Maz Smiled back, but attention was instantly focused on something else. "Hey you! I don't need a mess in here again!" Maz yell's out. Blake looks and sees she was yelling at two people who were fighting with one another. "We'll talk more child, I need to give two ruffians a talk, and have a chat with my boyfriend."

With that, she goes to give the two aliens a talking down and also scold them for breaking stuff and after that. She had to have a talk with Chewi.

After scolding them, Maz walked up to her boring Chewie, she poked him to get his attention.

"Hey babe, I need to talk to you...in private," Maz said.

"Good luck Chewi," Han raised his drink, not minding what Chewbacca and Maz will do with one another.

Chewbacca gets up and follows Maz, wondering what she wanted to talk to him about.

Soon the two went into apart of the palace where no one's around. When they reached their destination, Maz took one last look around to be sure they were alone. Seeing no one around, she spoke.

"OK, we're alone alright let's talk," Maz said as she looks up at her tall boyfriend.

The Wookie asked Maz what did she want to talk about alone in his language.

"Well, it's about Blake, I want to discuss something about her with you," Maz replies, telling Chewie why she wanted to talk to him.

Chewbacca tilts his head before asking her in a few growls what did she want to talk to him about the cat-eared girl.

"Well, I can tell the child is in a lot of ...emotional pain. She's scared, conflicted...confused. I have a way to help her, but I need your help with it." Maz explained as she looks at the Wookie.

Chewbacca roared, asking her how he wants him to help her.

"Well...I know it must sound crazy, but...I think it's best if she goes with you and Solo." Maz said.

Now the Wookie looked at her with wide eyes at what she was asking them to do. Maz noticed the look Wookie was giving her and understood.

"Look, I know it's asking a bit much, but I think it is best if she goes with you two, do you think you can convince Han maybe?" Maz asked.

Chewbacca thinks on this for a second, knowing full well it is not something that will be easy, but doable. The Wookie nodded. He honestly liked Blake, even though they had only just met her for a short time.

Maz smiled. "Thanks, now can you bend down." Chewbacca did as he was told, bends down...and Maz gave him a kiss on his furry cheek, making the Wookie blush under his fur, it could almost be seen as well.

In Maz's sector of Space, the group of Bounty hunters was heading towards it.

"What are we doing here?" One bounty hunter asked the leader, known as Daquinn.

Daquinn turns and looks at one of his allies. "Because some of our members are there, and they called...they told us that Han Solo is there now." He points to the planet they were heading with a twisted smile. "Soon after we capture Solo, and give him to Jabba, the league of Bounty hunters will get the respect it deserves."

"Well, that's good to know." The Bounty hunter says as he loads his gun, he was looking forward to capturing Solo...and most likely shoot someone for the fun of it.

The leader of the league of bounty hunters gets back into the other seat as they enter the planet's atmosphere. It was not long before they landed within walking distance of the palace, they decided to walk the rest of the way.

Back at Maz Palace. Solo looked to see three people at the bar were looking at him, he had a bad feeling about them and looked like they were trouble they didn't need. Still, he waits for his partner to come back, he had a feeling they needed to get out of here fast before trouble comes to greet them once more.

Soon, Chewie came back much to Solo relief.

"Good, your back. Now I think we should go soon before something goes wrong... like usual," Solo told his friend as he inclines his head slightly at the door.

Chewbacca glances and the trio and agrees with his buddy, but he growled and spoke to Solo on something that surprised the Smuggler.

"Wait, what? Why would we take Blake with us?" Solo asked while crossing his arms as he looks at his close friend, who spoke to him as Solo sighed. "Chewie, I don't think taking that girl with us will be a good idea, besides she probably doesn't want to come with us anyway."

Chewie and Solo then began to talk with one another then.

As for Blake, Maz came back then.

"Now we're were we child," Maz asked as she sits right back with her. "Ah, yes, I remember." She says as she talks to Blake again. "So Blake, what do you plan to do?"

Blake just sighed then. "To be honest...I'm not sure...I really don't know...I don't have anywhere to go." Blake says as she lets out a sigh then.

"Well, young one...I'm sure you will find your place. Eventually, everyone has one and find it one way or another," Maz said, she had an idea how to start her way. But to find out about it, she will need to do that on her own.

As With Chewi and Solo. Solo was not letting up in the debate with bringing Blake and were about getting to leave. But then the doors open, revealing four bounty hunters with weapons, everyone looking at them, even Blake.

Solo just rubbed his four head in annoyance. "I knew it." The Smuggler said, pointing out that he was right once again.

Soon the three that were watching Solo walked up and joined the four bounty hunters, now increasing there numbers to seven, the lead one steps up and looks at Solo.

"Han Solo, we were sent by Jabba the Hut to bring you to him," the leader of the league of bounty hunters said as he takes out a blaster at on Solo. "And trust me, we will make sure to bring you to him!" He said as the others took out their weapons as well and aimed at the Smuggler.

Blake looked on in worried face at the brewing conflict. The two Smugglers had helped her out of a bad situation for no reason or personal gain. Now, these bounty hunters were here, and if she didn't help them out than they were going to be in serious trouble.

Solo downed the rest of his drink and decided to ask something. "So your Jabba latest bounty hunters, huh? So who are you guys?" Solo asked as he shifted back to where only showing his left side while he used his other hand to slowly reach for his blaster.

"You want to know the name of your capturers, that it?" The leader smirked, showing his arrogance. "We are the league of bounty hunters, and we decided to take the job that's on your head, now will you come peacefully, or will we half to take you in by force?"

Solo looked at them for a second. "Seriously? You call yourself the league of bounty hunters?" Solo said, holding back at laughing outright at the stupid name. Same with a few of the other patrons in the bar that heard them. "You do know that you are a league. That means you all pretty much will get less money when you half to split it all, right?"

Some of the league actually stopped and thought at the point Solo made. But the leader snapped them out of it when shouted at them. "Shut it! Now come with us, or we will blast your limbs off and kill your harry friend and make a rug out of him!"

Chewie growled at that and cracks his knuckles then at being threatened to be turned into some floormat by a group he even considers complete idiots.

As for Maz, she was starting to get angry that someone threatened her boyfriend like that. In her own bar at that, plus, she knew she was going to be even more annoyed if a gunfight starts off in her bar again. The last one destroyed most of her place, and she did not want to have to rebuild it again after the tenth time.

"Hey, a bad name or not, no one insults my boyfriend in my place, and I don't need you shooting up through place, so ge-" Maz stopped talking and jumped back when a laser bolt was shot near her.

"Shut up." The league member said, unknown to the member, he just pissed a Wookie off right then.

But before Chewie could run up and rip the scum arms apart. Blake came quick and jump kicks the member in the face hard, sending him flying against a wall knocking him out cold. The other members and patrons in the bar looked at Blake in shock, who was glaring at the Bounty Hunters.

"Shooting a defenseless Palace owner? Your just lowly scum, aren't you." Blake said angerly to the league of Bounty hunters.

All of them were stunned at Blake's speed. Still, a Twi-Lik member of the group recovered first and tried to fire off his blaster at her. Blake, however, anticipated this and moved to counter. With impressive speed, the Faunus avoids all the shots as she rushes at the alien, kneeing him hard in the gut and making him fall to the ground while he clutches his stomach. The people who were watching this were easily entertained by this as well as a few looks of interest.

As for Solo, he was about to take out his blaster to shoot at the members to help Blake deal with them faster, but Maz came up to him and stopped him.

"What are you doing?" Solo asked Chewie's girlfriend.

Maz had a smile as she spoke to Solo. "Just watch, she can take care of them herself...plus with what I see there not that tuff," Maz said.

Blake was secretly enjoying herself. These so-called bounty hunters didn't possess an aura, and their fighting styles were weak and slopy. She wasn't like Yang that love bar fights, but fighting these half-wits were giving her a much-needed stress relief. For the first two bounty hunters, Blake drew Gambol Shroud and charged. She didn't kill them, the cat Faunus refused to be like her ex, but she did give them a beat down that would make her father proud if he saw her. Blake hit the first with the flat side of Gambol Shroud to the face, followed by coming around with the hilt to the temple. The other bounty hunter had been drawn his blaster. Blake caught this from the corner of her eye and switched her weapon from sword to a gun mode, shooting the blaster out of the hunter's hand. Surprising everyone in the bar at the sound of a ballistic weapon going off.

Solo watched this along with Maz, who still had a smile. "Impressive, isn't it?"

"I gauss...but I have a question about her weapon," Solo said, still watching Blake beat the league of bounty hunters.

Maz looked at Solo then. "And what might that be?"

"Who puts a slug thrower into a sword?"

With Blake, it didn't take her long to beat all the League of Bounty Hunter members. Still, the leader was left standing as she aimed the blade at him making his hands fly up in surrender before dropping his blaster.

"Alright, I give up! I give up! I'll leave, OK!" The leader said while having his hands up.

Blake looked at him for a moment to see if he would try anything, sheathing Gambol Shroud, she turns and walks away. But...the leader of the league smiles then as he takes out a knife and throws it at Blake but...much to his surprise the cat girl disappeared, everyone else was surprised as well.

"Nice try." Blake's voice was heard behind him when he turned he was met with a tornado kick to the face knocking him to the ground and breaking his nose. He held a hand up to his face before looking up at Blake with anger filled eyes, Blake just looked at him with no emotion. "Leave...now."

Knowing he lost the leader of the league ran, the other members carrying the knocked out members following out as well to there ship.

When they left, Blake turned to the people who saw her beat everyone...and to her surprise, they clapped and cheered for her. Rasing classes and mugs like it was a show, except for one person in green armor in the back.

As with Solo, he looked at his Wookie companion. "Hey Chewie, about her coming with us...it's now a maybe.

Later Solo and Chewbacca were loading up the Falcon. Han agreed to have Blake come with them, for now, he was going to see how she will handle life as a smuggler. Right now Blake was talking to Maz in the Palace, Maz was giving Blake some advice.

"I hope your right about this pal, and I hope Blake will do well in the business we partake in."

"You better hope she does."

Both Solo and Chewi froze, they knew that voice both Chewi and Solo looked to see a green armored Mandalorian, but not just any Mandalorian. It was Boba Fett, one of the most deadly bounty hunters in the galaxy, and one of Jabba's top hunters.

"Boba, y-"

Boba raised a hand and interrupted the Smuggler. "I'm not here to collect the bounty the hut has on your head, I'm waiting to see if Jabba makes it worth my time."

Solo sighed in relief at that. The man's reputation was known to only go after high stakes targets. "Well, that's good to know, so why are you here then? If not for my head?"

"I was just here for a drink. But needed to ask something." Boba simply said.

"And what's the question, Fett?" The Smuggler asks the dangerous bounty hunter.

Boba looked around in case a certain someone was not there. "That girl you have with you, what Is she?" Boba asked since he was curious about Blake's race, and the ability she just used in the bar. What he saw was something, not even the Jedi did back there. He was going to look them up, he was not sure if that was a Jedi trick she used or some tech that he'd never seen before.

Solo just shrugged. "Sorry, Fett... didn't ask what she was."

Boba just looked at him for a moment before turning to walk away. Solo was about to release the breath he was holding, but Boba said one last thing. "You and I both know that what she's about to join will most likely change her life forever." With that said, Fett's jetpack fires up, and he flys away.

Solo finally released the breath he was holding. He knew what Fett was talking about. Life as a smuggler was not a life that was for everyone, but he shrugged it off then as he could see Blake coming now.

"Ready, kid?" Solo asked the young Faunus, who nodded. "OK then...but answer me honestly, you sure you want to come? And be a smuggler."

Blake nodded again to Solo."Yes, I'm sure." She answered honestly to him, she talked to Maz about it, and she made up her mind.

"Alright, let's go."

With that they boarded the ship, Solo turned on the Falcons systems and flies off Maz planet as Maz watched with a smile.

"Good Luck, my feline friend." With that, she goes back to her palace.
