Huttsbane must have believed himself invincible when he first charged at Jack, but Jack blocked his attacks easily. He almost looked bored. "You really should try to vary your strikes. You are coming at me with the same predictable rhythm. I can do this the whole day and you be the only one tired."

"Not that it will matter to you. Your recklessness and rushing to an easy and quick solution have brought you to your end. Had you thought things through your people might enjoy a better standard of living. It is too late for you. You will die for the innocent blood on your hands."

Jack countered one of his attacks cutting his hands off and slashing him across the chest with he brought down the blade. Huttsbane didn't think this was possible, his life ending so quickly. He always believed that destroying the cartels would gain him fame, glory and riches. He dreamed of becoming the king of the world. Those dreams came to an end as his life's blood spilled from his wounds.

With a painful expression on his face he saw Jack do a simple slash. Huttsbane head was cut off in a single strike. He simply picked it up and put it into storage he brought with him.

The old man glared at him. "My people will be slaves because of you. How many innocent Evocii must die before we are free?" The old man just kept blaming him for everything he could think off.

Jack waited for the old man to stop talking, most of the anger was understandable, he did just killed his son. "You could have done the smart thing and think things threw. You could have done an assassination, collaborate with the other alien species, could have talked to the people these Hutts hold in confidence to plan to betray their Hutt masters. Be able to negotiate better living conditions for everyone and not just your people."

"Your son's rash and reckless thinking caused this. He didn't care about anything other than his own people. Tell me how is this different from a Hutt? "

The old man began to see what he said was right. In his zeal to recover that which they lost he forgot about the other people that now called the same planet their home. It was the selfish nature that made the Hutts the way they were. In a small way he too had been as selfish as the monsters that stole their home long ago.

"My mother often say that sometimes the Monster Hunter becomes a monster himself of he or she forgets himself in the process of the hunt. Live in honor, let it guide your actions in all the things you do. Don't take the easy path as you see the cost can be more than you would be willing to pay."

Jack left the man to bury the remains of his son and think on what he did wrong, he left the village, not paying mind to glares directed his way.

His communicator began to flash as he was out of the village, telling him he had a call. He turned it on and the image of the Imperial agent appeared. She left a message it seems.

"Jack, I might need some help. Care to meet with me at Nem'Ro palace. I got a room there were we can talk privately."

Jack began to walk towards the palace. The other Evocii began to avoid him since he killed the best of their village which such ease. They would pose less than a challenge to him and in the end they didn't want to die a pointless death.

As he walked to the throne room he got out the head and much like Nem'Ro asked he dumped it on the floor. "One Huttsbane, what is next? I hope it is better than this." Nem'Ro began to laugh as he saw the head of Huttsbane on the floor.

"You must regale us with the tale. How did mighty Huttsbane meet his end. I am willing to pay double if you amuse me with your tale." Jack didn't like to waste time but he could practically hear Mako telling him they needed the extra credits.

"I will hold you to that. I went to the village killed a few dozen of them as I made my way to his home. I killed him in a one to one fight. I was expecting a tough opponent, instead I found an immature, egotistical brat who thought too much of himself. I killed him and cut off his head as you requested in the Bounty."

Nem'Ro began to like his attitude. "Your next target is my former accountant. He betrayed me and is now working for Fa'athra. I want him dead, but deliver his head to his wife. She works at the local bar as a waitress. I await to hear your tale of this. The accountant is hiding in my old factory. That factory was stolen by that good for nothing usurper."

Jack nodded and walked out, heading towards the secretary of Nem'Ro. She was a female Twi'lek with green skin, wearing what looked like light gold armor with gray jumpsuit, she was quite funny in a way. "Payment for the death of one Huttsbane. Sign here if you be so kind."

Nem'Ro was good to his word as Juda paid him for the elimination of Huttsbane. He went out and to the living quarters to find that the agent was waiting for him and welcomed him inside.

"So you killed Huttsbane, how do you feel after killing the local revolutionary?" The agent asked while smiling at him. Jack simply told her he was bored more than anything else. He then told her he hated to waste time.

"Tell me what you need help with and I will see what I can do."

She had to agree that she liked the way he was so direct. "What happens if I say what I need is help relieving some sexual tension?" She didn't expect the glare she got from Jack as he turned around and was ready to leave.

"For that you can have your choice of over fifty thousand thugs outside, they will more than likely even pay you to let them do you six ways to hell and back. I am no one's whore. When you decide to get serious call me. I have work to do, now excuse me while I go to the rust yards and butcher an accountant." if there was one thing Jack hated, is when a woman only saw him as piece of meat.

She ran to get in front of the door that you would think she used force speed to do it. "Ok, I get it. No jokes, why do you have to be so serious all the time? I also need to do something in the rust yards. Fa'athra is stealing spice from a local factory which just happens to be in the same building as the one you are going."

Jack didn't even budge. "I am going to go there and blow it up. Help me get the things I need and when I cause the spice tunnel to collapse it will cause quite the distraction. That distraction could help you distract the guards on the accountant and then you would be quite free to butcher him to your heart's content."

"Would five thermal grenades be enough?"

The agent smiled and said that all she needed was an security clearance card and a uniform. She already had the explosives. Jack told her to follow him. She was more than happy to do that.

Couple minutes later, after fighting through thugs along the way, they were near the Rust Yards. As the two calmly walked to the rust yards he entered a local guard building. He knocked out every guard except one. He simply looked at him and smiled. "Don't you feel hot under all those furs? I know I would be feeling rather uncomfortable under all those heavy, smelly furs."

The guy looked at his uniform and without even hesitating he began to take it all off till he was in his underwear. "You know your right, I feel so much better with those furs off. I was feeling like I was boiling under those. Thanks for mentioning that." Jack was beginning wonder if all thugs on planet were all stupid.

"You must be hungry too. Here have a piece of fruit on me. I know you will simply love it. Why don't you go outside and share it with your friends." Jack took out a thermal grenade and gave it to him.

Again the guy did just as he said he should he went outside and after a few feet a group of guards gathered wondering why their fellow guard was in just his underwear. That was when he took a bite on the grenade and it exploded killing them all.

"So you plan to tell me how you did that or you are just going to leave it to my imagination?" The agent asked as she began to put on the uniform the previous guy took off. "A little thing called a mind trick. I could have made him shot himself in the head, but that would leave blood over your nice clean uniform and that would be harder for you to explain now wouldn't it?"

He smiled at her and she couldn't believe how easy he got her both the card and the uniform. She got dressed in the uniform, Jack did the honorable thing and turned around to pet her finish getting dressed.

"See I told you it was not that much trouble. You be surprised how many things become easier with a little used of the force mind trick. " She finished getting dressed and told him that it sure was something she wished he could learn.

"Now how about we get to that factory or do you have anymore tricks up your sleeves I should know about?" He told her that if he told her what he could do it would ruin the surprise.

He simply went towards the entrance of the factory and he suddenly was gone. The agent began thinking that he had optical camouflage in his armor. She went inside and as he did she heard the screams of the guards as they had their necks broken by an invisible opponent.

"Like I said if I told you it would ruin the surprise." she entered along side Jack and she was happy she was not his enemy and didn't plan to become one ever.

They actually made quick work of the men guarding the interior of the factory and she thanked him as she went on her way to do what she went to the factory to do. Figuring it'll cause more damage, Jack free any workers he saw on his way, they thank him and quickly left the building. Since Jack was causing damage here, he might as well take the workers as well.

He saw the door where the accountant would be and decided for dramatic effect to kick it down. As the door came down a cowering, begging urine soaked little man appeared from behind a turned over desk.

"Please don't kill me, I was promised so much money if I worked for Fa'athra, it was hundreds more than Nem'ro ever paid me. How could I possibly pass up the chance? Of course I couldn't. I betrayed Nem'Ro and when I came to Fa'athra, he laughed his head off and put me to work my accounting skills for him in this dump. If I don't he will simply leave to Nem'Ro so he can kill me."

Jack took out his blaster and was aiming it at him. "So you are a dishonorable, greedy, backstabbing, lying, stupid little backstabber. Do you know what I do to people like that?" the accountant hoped that he could convince him to live.

"Look you don't need to kill me. I will ruin Fa'athra's books, he will be financially ruined. This will make Nem'Ro so happy he will forget all about me. I will just leave and you will never see or hear from me again."

Jack saw him push a long series of keys and waited for him to continue his little plea. "See it done. Fa'athra's finances are ruined he is in absolute poverty. Now I can leave and start a new life somewhere else Right?"

Jack had to ask if he planned to take his wife with him? he told him he was going to forget the nagging bitch and even some Twi'lek his having affair with. That was all Jack needed to hear as he walked close to the gas container near the room heater, he blasted the container making it explode and causing the accountant to burn to ashes.

He walked out as the Agent was done with her mission. "Well Blade looks like we are done here. What do you say we finally catch up with a couple of drinks back at Nem'Ro's palace?" She actually liked that idea. The two walked out of the building, fighting through anymore thugs that came check out what was going on. They took a speeder get back to Nem'ro's palace, the Agent enjoyed having hold onto Jack, feeling hard muscles from years of training.

As the two went inside, finding a sit, the two both sat down and had a nice drink they both relaxed somewhat. They wished each other the best and she gave him a few thousand credits. "You know Jack it has really been great seeing you again. I might just call you to ask for your help again."

Jack smiled at her and told her with a charming tone, "Blade you can call me anytime we are on the same planet. I be glad to help you anytime. What are good friends for?"

She went to talk to her contact but not before telling him she could also count on her help. "Oh and before you go, my names Talia Kaleashe, figure you earn know my name." Jack nodded, though he was surprise hear a Imperial Agent giving their name, he was thankful non the less.

As Jack walked towards Nem'Ro, he asked if he knew how in the world did Fa'athra's fortune went practically up in smoke. He told him that the accountant did that as a means to apologize to him. He tried to make a run for it but he slammed into a gas container. The spark of him hitting it caused the gas that he cause to leak caught fire and he was burned to ashes by the explosion.

"I guess I will have to deduct the shock value off the Bounty. You didn't deliver his head to his wife as I asked."

Jack told him the supposed married accountant was cheating on his wife with one of the Twi'leks here. Nem'Ro asked why would that matter. "If I did manage to deliver his head his wife would not be shocked, she would be grateful. So tell me Nem'Ro do you think you would like to be kisses over and over by a widow crying out of sheer joy while she thanks you over and over again?"

Nem'Ro looked like he was sick to his stomach at the very thought of that, he may like fame and power, but being kiss all over by old woman disgusted him. "In that case, I am increasing your payment on that Bounty for saving me from such a humiliation." he shiver from very thought of something like that, it looked like his Houk bodyguard agree with him cause he was starting look green.

"Now I need some privacy so everyone leave us alone for a few minutes." Everyone in the chamber didn't bother asking for a reason, they simply walked out and left the two of them alone, though Jack noticed Nem'ro's bodyguards were hiding in shadows, quite skillful in fact. It was not like the Hutt was going to propose marriage.

"Now that we have some privacy, I have to tell you that my own best beast master is plotting to kill me. The next Bounty is the assassination of my traitorous beast master. I know this might seem like a trap, but it isn't. I need to pretend that I am actually using you to weed out further traitors among my advisers."

Jack waited for Nem'Ro to finish what he had to say.

"I need you to be angered because of this. This will give the traitors a wonderful opportunity to come to you to try and hire you to kill me. I will keep an eye on you after the next Bounty. This could result in further bounties against these traitors."

Jack had to tell Nem'Ro that this entire thing sounded paranoid as hell. Nem'Ro laughed and said simply, "Tell me about it. Welcome to the daily life of a successful Hutt. And people wonder why I eat so much?"

As the private meeting was over he walked over to Juda who gave him his pay. Juda was actually kind of thankful, she actually was gonna tell the accountant's wife that her husband was cheating on her before Jack took care of him, the Twi'lek whom was in the affair had already left the planet though.

He walked over to the elevator and went down to the beast pits. He went to where the beast master was and almost like he was expected the beast master began his little monologue.

"Your are stupid, my beast will kill you and I will get my big reward. The reason you will lose is because my beast will eat you because you are so stupid."

Jack turned around to see Nem'Ro and a whole audience laughing as the first beast were released. Jack really was pissed off at this point.

He took out his hatred against wave after wave of beasts. He killed them with a combination of blaster fire, force powers and his flamethrower. The beast master didn't like the way this was looking. He killed everything that was sent against him and it seems he was genuinely enjoying killing his beasts.

The last beast was dead and now the beast master feared for his life. Jack holstered his blaster and with both hand he pulled the cage where the beast master was and now he was hiding behind a large barrel. Jack used the force pull to pull the beast master limb from limb, he screamed in pain before he finally died of blood lost. He then burned the remains to ashes.

The crowd was quiet, he looked at the audience and at Nem'Ro and began shouting. "Are you not entertained? Is that not why you are watching this? Betting on this? So tell me are you not entertained?!" the entire audience saw the rage in his voice and his face when he shouted this. Quite a lot of them were frighten by the very look of it, they were now very worried once he comes up.

Nem'Ro however was please see Jack was following everything in plan, this will show to not double cross him. Jack walked towards the elevator, however as he was in the elevator, his communicator started beep, he turns on, finding it was Mako who was calling him. "Hey Jack, it's Mako, I got some information for ya." Jack was happy see Mako, he was fairly worried about her.

"How are you holding up Mako?" Jack knew very well it was never easy lose someone close to you like that. Mako nodded, but Jack could see her eyes were red from likely crying. "Better now that I got a lead, thank you for asking. The man who killed Braeden really was Tarro Blood, a big shot from Alderaan, was from some noble family before he gave up on it follow a Mandalorian bounty hunter that came to his home after getting a bounty, not sure who it was, couldn't find out who it was." Jack was starting put pieces together here, it sounded like Tarro gave up on his noble name get fame and power.

His very familiar with types like those, Mako kept going. "However it seemed his fellow Mandalorians didn't like his characteristic arrogance, it seemed get bigger as he was very skilled in his own fight and was starting become a favorite win the Great Hunt as he kept defeating his targets and rivals. The other Mandalorians gang up on him and ensure he didn't win the Great Hunt, it resulted him getting crippled and by the looks of things, his pride as well."

Now Jack was starting see where this is going. "So his been building up support with his fellow Mandalorians and taking out his rivals, just so he can win? what a sore loser." Jack always did hated people who take easy path, this man was disgracing the name Mandalorian, Mako nodded. "That's right, so his buying off the other Mandalorians so he doesn't get taken out again, so we should expect lots of traps from this guy. Anyway am heading to where you're at, found Braeden's old armor from his younger days, though not sure what to do with it."

The elevator stops, Jack steps out of the elevator. "You should wear it, it's probably what Braeden would have wanted." Mako nodded, Braeden did wanted that armor of his, set of Mandalorian armor that he gotten from a friend that died in a hunt, go to her or Jolly if he ever died. "Alright then, see you at the palace then." Mako cut off the communicator.

Jack place it away and walked towards where Nem'Ro was, hoping he'll keep his promise. He would really hate it if he did.
