I don't own Star Wars, this is a fan fiction only.


The walk to the bar was largely uneventful for Jack as he was given a wide area of personal space. There were a couple of stupid thugs who tried to hustle him for money. He looked at them like they just made the mistake of their short lives. "So let me get this straight, you want my credits or you will kill me? Is that right."

The big guy told him that it was and he couldn't do a damn thing about it since they were backed by a powerful Hutt named Fa'athra. Jack was not in a good mood specially after the blasted Rodian tried to do to his ship.

"I am going to be uncharacteristically generous, since I am in no mood to deal with this shit. I am giving you to the count of three, when I finish this count your head is going up his ass and his head into the ass of the guy next him until all three of you have made this little ring. So I would start running for your lives now."

The big guy looked at him and told him that he was not afraid of some little boy. "One." Jack began to count.

The guy next to him a human said that he was so dumb he probably didn't know to count to three. "Two."

The last guy a weequay said he was wearing so much armor since he was coming clearly over compensating for something. Making the other two laugh. "Three."

Jack lifted the three idiots up with the force earning a shocked look from the three of them. He then slammed them down on the ground hard. He then proceeded to use the force to do exactly what he threatened the three unconscious idiots he would do.

He walked towards the bar and every thug that saw or heard what he did left him alone. Until he got a few feet from the bar and that was when twenty of the friends of the now very much dead and humiliated thugs decided to spring their ambush.

Jack calmly took his lightsaber out and with the blade appearing the thugs began to shoot at him. He acted like it was nothing major and deflected the shots right back at them. Twenty seconds later the still fuming corpses fell down to the ground and he use the force to push them to a nearby ditch. He didn't want to obstruct the path into the bar.

He heard a person clapping from near the entrance. "Nicely done, I got to say you sure know how to make everyone know not to mess with you. Mind if we have a word handsome?" Jack turn to see a female Chiss in light armor and saw that she had a sniper rifle strapped to her back, he smile.

"We will need a little privacy, so what exactly do you have in mind?" She smiled as she saw he had understood that privacy was important. "I got a room in this bar, we can talk freely there. Follow me."

He entered the room and sat down crossing her legs and trying to act seductive. "Don't waste my time with ploys Agent. I have a busy schedule what do you want and how can I help?"

She smiled at him and got up to stand before him, she ruffled through her long hair and placed her hand on her hip. "You seem to know how to kill a mood faster than you liked those thugs. I need help, and I am asking you to help me. In return I will not tell the Sith that a fallen Jedi is in imperial territory."

Jack walked over to her and looked dead serious. "I am no servant of the Empire. Brake that promise and there will be no place in this galaxy that you can hide from my wrath. I have an important business meeting. Here is my comm frequency as if you don't already have it. Call me when you need help. I will want to be paid and I expect you to also keep this arrangement Keeper."

The nearby holoprojector turned on and a smiling man clearly in his senior years stood with his arms crossed. "I am as honorable as you are Jack. You don't need to worry about me. I am surprised you knew I was listening but I suppose the situation was a bit obvious. We will be in touch if my agent needs help. Be assured that your help will be well paid."

Jack left the room and went to meet where Braeden was waiting for him. "So that is Jack the Reaper. I got to say he does have a style of his own. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that fabulous piece of meat."

Keeper remind her to remain objective and to be careful the man was not feared and respected for being a push over.

Jack soon got to the room where Braeden was at, hearing Braeden talking to someone.

"Is the network running Mako? we will need it up and running by the time he arrives."

Braeden said this to her as Jack walked into the room. "Sure thing Braeden, let me just get-oh hey now." a human woman stops her words as she notices Jack, letting Jack see she was a cyborg. Braeden smile when he sees Jack.

"Seems the main attraction just arrived. This is Jack the Reaper, has nerves as steel, he is as honorable and brutal as a mad rancor. You would not want be on his bad side."

"Jack this is the team that will act as your support. We got Jorry doing the heavy lifting, and then you probably got sick of me telling you about my precious little girl. She is also the best slicer anywhere and the biggest fan of Great Hunter history I ever seen. If anyone can get us the Intel we need it's her."

Jack walked over and smiled as he saw them both stand where they were. "Good to see you both, now how about we get down to business I am sure Jorry wants to start seeing money come in to our little teams bank account."

The big Nikto put down his rifle he as cleaning and liked the sound of that, Braeden took over here. "You may be respected by Mandalorians from many years ago, but most think you are dead already. So we can't make you a Mandalorian as we don't have the time, so instead we need the backing of a big time crime boss. I got us an audience with the big cheese of this town a Hutt by the name Nem'Ro. I think we need a big Bounty to give him a good impression of your skills. Mako give me the biggest, baddest scum that you can find."

Mako didn't take long. "I got one this guy hit the same imperial pay station five times in a row, he is supposed to be a championship quick draw artist. I got him buying tickets off Hutta in the next shuttle."

Jack turned around, "Don't you worry, he is not getting away from me. Do you want a head or do I drag the entire thing back?" Braeden smiled that, "no, his ID tags and maybe his blaster would be enough."

Jack left the room after that and walked into the main hall of the bar, however a Droid stopped him. "Sir, a minute if you be so kind. Nem'Ro my owner has set a bounty on thugs working for Fa'athra, since you killed so many of them, you have fulfilled the requirements for this Bounty. If you please present your identification so that I can pay you for your services rendered."

Jack told him he could not accept payment for a Bounty he did not accept. This shocked everyone present. He simply continued to walk towards the space port and he stretched his mind to find the supposed criminal, fighting through thugs easily. He found him easily. His ego was bigger than the ship he was trying to steal. Too bad for him it was Jack's.

As he walked over to the port his ship was located he saw the guy trying to get the hatch open. "I gather you are the idiot that stole from the same pay station five times. I would get your hands off the ship and be making my peace with your maker, possibly saying good bye to what family you do have."

The guy turned around. "Handsome Jax isn't afraid of you lawman. Cause Handsome Jax knows something you don't. Handsome Jax is a championship Quickdraw artist and he can blast you between the eyes before you can blink. So you best get out of here before Handsome Jax ends your worthless life."

Jack took out a single credit and began to flip it. "OK, Jax I got several problems with, I got a bounty on you, two didn't you just buy a ticket for a shuttle? Why are you then trying to steal my ship? And last but not least, I will take your blaster use it to shoot you between the eyes and then I will mutilate your still warm corpse and that is because you tried to steal my ship. So if you are the supposed championship Quickdraw artist this is the time to show it."

Sure enough he used the force to take the blaster as Jax was about to reach for it and true to his word he did shoot him between the eyes, and he did cut off his blaster hand after he took his identification card from his empty wallet. He walked off like it was just another day at the office.

As he walked back he saw that Braeden and Jorry were having a drink before he tossed him the hand, blaster and identification card. "Jack what took you so long? I expected you here sooner." Jack joked and said he took the scenic route so he could enjoy some of the beautiful nature.

This made Mako laugh really hard. "That is like saying this place is actually beautiful." Jack sat down and looked up and said that this planet was beautiful and fun. "I can barely walk three feet when someone either tries to kill me, Rob me, or mug me. I haven't been able to relieve stress like this in years. It has done wonders for my mood."

Mako asked if he could just beat them up and left them unconscious somewhere. He of course said to her not to be silly, he killed every single one. "No reason to leave trash like that around. Might as well as do this place a favor and do a little clean up."

Braeden asked if he was up for some more work before meeting with the local crime lord. Jack was always up for more work. Mako gave him the three most infamous men for hire that actually used to work for Nem'Ro and betrayed him. "These three are a good way to make the guy be grateful before you meet him."

Jack took off and began to hunt them down killing every opponent on the way. Mako realized why he was called the Reaper as she saw the way he took care of the enemy. Nobody knew but Hutta had dozens of orbiting surveillance satellites.

She decided that after such hard work the poor guy deserved a nice meal. She decided to go out and buy him something nice and healthy. Braeden agreed that his adopted daughter was in need of a little fresh air so he gave her some money to buy the food but he told her to pick something for everyone.

Jack had a bad feeling as soon as he killed the last hit man and rushed back to what he called home base. It appears when he arrived to late and he found a crying Mako looking at the dead bodies of Jorry and Braeden. She immediately saw him and moved by her grief she openly accused him of killing them.

"You killed them didn't you? HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO BRAEDEN?"

Jack went up to her and glared at her. "If I killed them why wouldn't I kill you as well? What motive would I have for killing him? We were going to enter Great Hunt as a team. Killing your team is not honorable. Instead of crying and accusing me why didn't you look at the security video?"

Mako realized that she goofed. She went to the table that Jorry used to use as his desk and after looking around he found the video recording of what happened. The real culprit had been a man by the name of Taro Blood, a bigshot Mandalorian from Alderaan. He had his hired goon kill Braeden to take him out as a potential competition in the Great Hunt.

"I don't care who this bastard is, I don't even care he is a Mandalorian. I am going to hunt this creep and make him see hell while he is alive. Nobody kills my friends and gets away with it."

Mako was not expecting to hear these words from him. She tried to stop him. "You don't need to go off on a wild chase. Just enter the Great Hunt and it is guaranteed that you will find him. Now you need to go and meet with Nem'Ro and get his token so that you can enter."

Jack gave her the proof that the three hit men were indeed dead. "Use the money to give Jorry and Braeden a decent burial. I wish I could he there for their final send off but it seems I got an appointment to keep. Be sure to stay out of trouble and keep in contact. I don't have many friends to lose. I don't want to lose you."

Mako could feel herself blush and her heart begin to beat faster as he said that. She couldn't understand why his sincere words made her feel this way. She was somehow smiling and feeling happy as he walked out of the bar.

The trip to Nem'Ro was quick and so was his walk through the crime lord's audience chamber. A large Houk in light armor seems like he tried to introduce him to the Hutt. "Mighty Nem'Ro, a punny, weak Bounty Hunter wishes an audience with you."

Nem'Ro being interested from what he had heard from his droid and the fact that he killed three of the traitors that went to work for Fa'athra was enough to grant him an audience.

"Come little Bounty Hunter, the Mighty Nem'Ro has granted you an audience. Be grateful and praise him for his kindness." Jack glared at the Houk with such cold, intense hatred that it made him shut his mouth.

"So Bounty Hunter tell me do you like my city? I have heard many things about you. What do you want from me?" Nem'Ro asked to gauge him as a potential tool or a potential threat.

"Your city has nice infrastructure, a good bar, club and plenty of wildlife to keep people like me entertained. It does have a vermin problem but that is easily solved. If the fool does not want to see how I would resolve it, I highly suggest he keeps his mouth shut or I will shut it permanently." The bodyguard began to wish he had not insulted him in the first place.

"As for what I want is to get your sponsorship token to enter the Great Hunt. I know better than to expect you to simply give sponsor me out of the kindness of your heart. So I will do a few Bounty Contracts on the things that give you most trouble. I get the sponsorship and my pay. You get some vermin taken care off. How does that sound to you?"

Nem'Ro began to laugh really hard as he said that. "Ah, it is so nice to see a man after my own heart. I hate all this pointless begging and emotional drivel. Very well the first is to eliminate Huttsbane. He is a Evocii that taken a liking to killing Hutts and their workers. I want his head on my floor."

Jack told him he would be back shortly. As he left however, he saw the Agent waiting for him and smiled at her as he was leaving. "Nice to see you again, Red Blade. Hope we can catch up to old times later." The agent smiled as he said that. "It would be wonderful to catch up Jack my friend."

Jack went to the Evocii settlement and many of the Evocii tried to kill him, so he did the best he could to pay them in kind. He broke them apart, leaving body parts everywhere. He finally made it to the home of the supposed Huttsbane. Seeing an old man stood next to his son. "Offworlder, you might not know this but this planet was originally ours. Hutts stole it from us by swindling it away from us. I ask that you take another head for Nem'Ro and live my son alive."

The foolish Evocii proud of his slaughter of Hutts and their men spoke, "You would trade one of our dead with this murderer. I refuse to let him desecrate one of our village."

Jack looked at him with an easy to see intent to kill and the old man understood better than his foolish son.

"Be quiet Huttsbane, this man is more than capable of killing you and me. We must for your life. Sometimes we must exchange honor for life."

Jack had enough of this and he pulled Huttsbane to his hand using the force. "This man has murdered innocent men and women in his quest for vengeance against people whose only wrong was to try and feed their families. He offered them no mercy, so I see no reason to soil my honor for a spoiled, egotistical, selfish, and cruel child like this. Keep your bargaining. I will kill this vermin, take his head and leave. "

However then Jack let Huttsbane go and took few steps back. "But am gonna give him what he didn't give the people his kill, am gonna fight him in one on one match, just you and me." the old Evocii knew he could not stop this, he step back, knowing his son's ego would not let him surrender, he can only hope it will not lead the death of his whole clan.

Huttsbane glared darkly at Jack as the two step outside, what was left of Evocii in area gather watch, Huttsbane brings out his viro sword. 'How dare he question me! am doing this for my people!' Jack brought out his lightsaber, the two glared at each other, just waiting for the other make the move.

Finally the two charged. "AHHHHHH!" the two yelled before their blades met.
