The two walked through the beach in silence, looking for any sign of life. All they came across were dead bodies and a destroyed ship. Kairi was disturbed when they came across the skeletons or recently rotting bodies of those slain by the trandosians, though luckily she was good at hiding her disgust or the Mandalorian just didn't care. Eventually, said Mandalorian breaks the silence.
"Non of the bodys we found are your friends, and there is no one else alive here. I don't think the trandosians took your friends." He says. Kairi sighs sadly at the facts. 'What now' Is all Kairi can think of at the moment. "We should return to the Razor Crest." The two begin walking back to where they parked when Kairi heres a noise off in the distance.
"Wait! Do you hear that?" Kairi exclaims. Mando stops for a moment to listen in. After a few seconds of listening Mando yells.
"Take cover!" Before diving behind the weird trees that covered the beach before a laser blast hits him. Kairi does the same though no laser blast is fired at her. Looking into the sky, Kairi then sees some weird floating platform maned by two armed lizard people. Figuring these were the trandosians Mando was talking about, Kairi summons Destinys Embrace and readies herself for whatever the hunters have prepared for them.
The platform opens fire on the group with the large chain-gun attached to the hull. They fire wildly pinning down both Kairi and Mando.
"You will make a fine prize, Mandalorian!" One of the Trandosians exclaims. While the platform continues to open fire, Mando holsters his blaster and readies his rifle.
"That things gotta run out of ammo, right?" Kairi asks.
"Not for a few hours. Listen if you can get the speeder to turn around I can take out the drivers." Mando says.
"I'll see what I can do." Kairi says before turning to peer around the other side of the tree she's hiding behind. She spies some debris from the wreckage of a ship, but its quite a distance away. Thinking that if she is quick enough, she can make it behind a piece and draw the hunters attention. She makes a dash for the debris, running as fast as her legs would allow her. However one of the Trandosians, the sniper, notices her and aims his rifle. He fires and just barley misses. Thinking fast, Kairi fires a blizzara a the speeder, causing it to stagger and turn towards her. It opens fire just as she reaches the debris. All that Kairi can hear now is laser fire and the Trandosians arguing, though she can't tell over what. She takes a peak behind cover just in time to see the driver disintegrate into ash. The speeder goes wild and throws the remaining Trandosian off before crashing into the sand.
Kairi slowly comes out of cover to fully see the results. Seeing as how nothing is moving, she makes her way back to the Mandalorian when the sniper Trandosian quickly gets up, raises his rifle and fires. The movement is so quick, Kairi barely blocks the shot with her keyblade, but the sudden force knocks her down.
"Not quite a Mandalorian, but you'll do just fine." He says as he approaches the stunned Kairi. Before he can do anything to her, a laser blast burns through his chest and he falls in front of Kairi. She looks at the source of the blast to see Mando holstering his pistol. He then walks up to Kairi and offers a hand up. She accepts.
"Not bad." He compliments. "Back to the Razor Crest now. We've been gone long enough." The two head back to the ship and are welcomed by the child upon their return. Seeing the child lifts Kairi's spirits a bit. As she plays with the child, Mando heads straight to a computer and began typing something on it.
'No progress on trandosia.' Mando thinks as he selects his desired option on the Navi-computer. He begins downloading the entire database unto a data pad. Have Kairi look over it, she'll know where to find the sorcerers. He hands her the data pad.
"Look through this. It has all the planets in the galaxy and a short description of them. Maybe it will tell you where to go." He says. She takes it and looks it over. Very quickly she is brought with a confused face.
"Uh, I can't read this language. Is there an english option?" She asks. 'The hell is english?'
"This is galactic basic. Your telling me you can't read that." He says.
"The letters are different from what I understand." She explains. Mando takes back the data pad and switches the language option. Then, the letter convert.
"Hows this?" He asks, handing back the data pad. She looks it over.
"Yes. This I can read." She answers.
"Thats galactic super basic. Its very uncommon used." He explains. 'This girl just keeps getting stranger.' He thinks to himself. "I'm gonna plot a coarse to space station to get fuel. You find out where we're going." He then makes his way up the ladder to the cockpit.
There were tons of planets on this thing. Kairi wasn't sure if she would get through them all before reaching the space station. She begins browsing around. First the big names: Coruscant, Naboo, Alderran ,to name a few though the last entry was said to be destroyed. She then moved to lower class planets; Felucia, Ryloth, Rodia. She stopped when finding a planet called Scarif. It was said to be a planet filled with strings of islands, much like Destiny Islands. If she was delivered there, she could find her way back. However, it also stated that ever since the Empire, it was nothing more than a wasteland, killing her thoughts pf relief.
That reminded her, she was going to have to read up on this Empire. It seemed like it was something big that happened to the galaxy and just asking about it might make people think suspiciously that she never heard of something as big as whatever it is. She continues searching until she comes across another planet: Jedda. It was said to be a rocky wasteland. A battlefield as it was called. 'This must be the keyblade grave yard.' Kairi thinks. It matches the description perfectly.
"Second times the charm right?" She asks the child who only smiles at her. She heads up the ladder and goes through the door to the cockpit. The Mandalorian is just docking into the station as she arrives.
"What do you got?" He asks.
"A planet called Jedda has a similar description to the Keyblade Graveyard." She says.
"Jedda? Sounds like it alright." He says as he gets out of the pilots chair. "I'm gonna go pay for the fuel. Keep an eye on the kid." He says.
"Will do." Kairi responds. She follows Mando downstair where he exits the ship. Kairi finds the child trying to make its way into its room. Smiling at the adorable scene it is creating, She opens the locker and lifts the child into it. "So, Mando says you have powers to lift objects with your mind, huh?" The child can only nod as it makes a baby noise with it. "I don't know about that but maybe my friends do. They can help you if we find them." The child gives her its full attention. "So, where did Mando find you?" She asks. She was unsure how to keep the conversation going, being that the child couldn't talk. Another question that entered her mind was what the child's name is. Mando never called it by name.
As Mando walked out of the ship, he saw some mechanisms plug in his ship to be fuelled. He walks up to a droid to which he's supposed to pay.
"Fuel on 15." Mando says to him.
"Dock 15. Yes, and thats a full tank?" It asks him.
"Yes." Mando simply replies, handing over the required credits,
"Thank you. That will be all, unless there is something else you want." The droid says.
"Not today." Mando replies before heading back to his ship. In all honesty, he just wanted to get the hell away from the droid, didn't trust it. He boards his ship, and after awhile takes off. He relays in the coordinates to Jedda. Hopefully this time will bring them more luck.
Elsewhere on the station, a droid with a bug looking head and a protocol droids body all painted in a dark grey, watches the Razor Crest take off. He takes out a tracking fob and confirms it's his target. He readies his own ship, an old Magna-guard star-fighter, from the clone wars, ready to pursue. There is a bounty on this Mandalorian and its cargo. And 4-LOM is going to collect.
