As Jack walked back into the main room, Mako decide wait when that other hunter was talking to Jack, it seems that she and Crysta were having quite the conversation, Mako turns to Jack as he came in. "Jack, don't worry, while you were hearing the Huntmaster, I already delivered the piece of tech to Imperial Intelligence command. They actually didn't look that surprised. The thing that I found strange is that it was almost like they were expecting you."

"Probably our friend's boss wanting to talk to me. I will see him if I have some free time." Jack then turns to Crysta. "What you got for me Crysta?" Crysta smiled and gave him a new armor upgrade. It looked impressive.

"Right there Jack, is the R-57 Carbonite blaster. This thing will have your targets frozen in Carbonite faster than a Hutt can finish of his after dinner dessert?" Mako asked why one the pre dinner, mid dinner or post dinner dessert? This made the Mandalorians around them laugh as they heard what she said, Mako and Jack chuckled with them.

Jack was liking the look of the carbonite blaster. "I will definitely enjoy using this. Who am I going after?" Crysta almost looked worried. She got the data for his first bounty and it did not look it was gonna be easy.

"Yeah I gotta ask, you have enemies among the Mandalorians? cause this mission seems quite dangerous for a beginner." Crysta was starting wonder if maybe Jack took that Mandalorian armor from one he defeated.

Jack told her it would not be a surprise to him, while Mako stated who their enemy be. "Just Tarro Blood, the ginger head asshole with horrible tattoo on his face." there were quite lot of chuckles going through everyone within the room who knew Tarro. Jack was shacking his head while keeping a grin, he better remember that one.

"It'll be alright Mako, we can take on anything, what's the job?" Crysta goes over the data on the bounty. "I got a rescue mission in a camp of Rebel slaves. A guy name Altaca is being missed an awful lot by his folks in Republic Space. They are nobles, so we are not talking chump change here. He was last seen near that collapsing statue a Sith lord tried to make."

Jack looked at her and asked which paid more alive or dead. She of course said alive and unhurt would in fact pay a hefty bonus. "I will make it there and see what is what. While I am there, do you want me to bring something back?" Jack figure he might as get on his handler's good side.

Crysta smiled at him, "Ah, that is sweet of you to offer sugar. But just come on back when the noble brat in Carbonite and I will be plenty happy with that." Jack nodded and he and Mako made their way out.

As they walked out of the Enclave, Mako continued to glare at him. It was until they were on the speeder that she actually said what was bothering her. "Do you have to be so friendly with her? I can still imagine the smug look on her face right now." Mako just couldn't stand the thought of it for some reason, it was really beginning bug her.

Jack got off the speeder and looked at her. "She handles our bounties Mako, we don't want to miss our chance at Tarro simply because we rubbed our handler the wrong way now do we?" She had to agree that it would not be something she would want to happen.

"So we are to be nice to her and eventually, we get the Intel we need to make Tarro pay for killing those we hold dear. It's that simple Mako. I already told you. You are the most important person in the Galaxy to me. What? You need me to stand in the middle of the capital and shout for all the capital to hear that I love you."

She quickly told him to stop it, she was blushing quite a bit, "Will you not make a scene, we have to remain professional and focused. That is not the kind of thing you should even be thinking off. We got a spoiled brat from Alderaan to rescue."

She might be saying that but under her helm she was blushing brighter and more red than a ship emergency beacon. The two made their way out of the city and into the jungle, though they were force fight few smugglers along the way.

The two walked some distance before they met with a pair that they met. "Going to the slave camp are you?" Rurika was leaning on the wall of the small outpost, her large humanoid friend was with her. Jack asked if she was reading his mind to which he laughed and told him it was just a bit of female intuition.

"So you plan on doing something there too? Why don't we go there together, it will give us a chance to have that conversation we had planned to have in that bar back in Kass city." Rurika actually agreed that it would save them some time in the long run.

"So, how is it that a Bounty Hunter has force energy and can use a lightsaber like he is a Jedi." Rurika then notice the look Jack was giving her. "Don't worry, even if I told the Sith, since I am a former slave, nobody would believe me."

Jack smiled as they kept walking towards the slave camp that was rebelling against their masters, Jack had to admire their bravely for that. "Not much to tell really, I was a Jedi Master and was betrayed by a fellow Jedi Master, I was framed for something I didn't do. This caused me to be exiled and I somehow just ended up a Bounty Hunter. Coincidence or fate, I don't care. All I know that the only part that remains from that life is my skills and my determination."

Rurika had to smile to hear him say that. "I had a feeling that was the case. Some people say that only the Sith betray each other but you just proved me right. Thank you for being so honest with me." Jack nodded, they came across the main base where leading to their target's former camp was at, Jack was called over by a Rattataki Mandalorian in blue armor near a shuttle, Jack goes over to talk to him.

Rurika stops Mako from going to his side. "So when are you going to tell him you love him Mako?" she gave a grin to Mako, she was able hear the thoughts going on in her head when she looked at Jack.

This made Mako stutter as she said she had no clue what she was talking about. "I might lack eyes Mako, but I can see how possessive you are of him, and the jealousy that seems to scream from your heart as I walked near Jack. You are not fooling anyone I know you love him." Rurika had a very good feeling Mako liked Jack, the way she looked to him, the way her thoughts talk about him, it was very clear.

Mako looked over to where Jack was, he was paying very close attention to the Mandalorian, whatever they were talking about, must have gotten his attention. Mako then turned to Rurika. "Okay fine, I like him, hell I think I love him, but am not sure if it's just a crush or what not. Can you please be quiet about it till I figure things out?" Rurika nodded, she didn't why she shouldn't help Mako.

But of course, she might as well speed up the paste.

"Alright, but don't act too slow, I can see a man like him would.. have lot of admirers." that made Mako freeze, before she started glaring at the thought, she glaze at a smirking Rurika. "What? it's true." their conversion was put on a halt when Jack came over to them.

"Alright, looks like we got another thing to do, I've been talking to my new friend over there, Vol Kolla. There's a group of nasty rebel slaves that got their hands on large mining drills and plan to use them to bring down the colossus." Rurika cross her arms.

"And that's a problem because?" she never truly care about some stuck up Sith Lord and their statues, she never saw the point. Jack however then pointed to a large part of a colossus that was holding up part of the cliff they were on. "It happens be holding this whole base up, if they break that, everyone in this base can kiss their ass goodbye." Mako looked over where the tents were, seeing few dozen injured soldiers being treated.

Mako could see they were in no means ready to be moved. "Okay, guess that means we have few things to get done then, hope you don't mind that Rurika." Jack looked to his Sith friend, who shrug, "we were heading over to that direction anyway, might as well earn few credits while doing it." Rurika did see she might need credits for future just in case.

As they walked over to the bridge, Rurika saw a Imperial officer leaning on railing, looking where the rebel slaves were at, Rurika sensed he was troubled by something. "Hold on, am gonna see what this what's troubling this Imperial there." Jack raise a brow, he looked to the officer, he too can sense he was troubled by something.

"Don't take too long." Rurika nodded and she and Khem made their way to the Imperial officer. Jack and Mako stood at the bridge for few minutes, watching as Rurika talked to the officer, though it looked like they were disagreeing about something, though the officer did back off when Khem took her side.

Finally Rurika nodded to the officer and walked back to Mako and Jack. "And that's why I disapprove of Empire's slavery, it just causes us more trouble then it's worth." Jack raise a brow, "mind filling me and Mako in on what that officer wanted to do, we couldn't really hear you two talking." Rurika leaned on her hip.

"Someone's been brutal murdering the other slaves within the pits, but odd thing is that their done in a ritual like way. That officer wanted me go check the matter out, luckily for us, it just happens be where we'll going to." Jack nodded, huh looks like they were catching a lucky break today.

As they made it across the bridge, Jack took out his blaster and began to shoot every slave that tried to shoot at them. Khem was watching smiling while he saw Jack kill the rebel slaves. It was almost as if Khem liked the manner in which Jack killed them.

As they walked to a nearby tent, they saw what looked to be a holojournal. Mako turned it on and as she saw the imagine, she knew it was a letter from a Sith woman. She looked old enough to be her mother, she was pale skin, wearing make up, her hair was hidden by a crown like thing, wearing very fancy red dress.

"Dearest Altaca, I have everything ready for you to escape that dreadful Rebel camp and come back to me. We will be the envy if all the Empire. We will have glamorous dinners, parties and enjoy each other to the fullest. On the outside I will say you are my long lost brother, but together we will..."

Jack had to put a stop to the message. If he had to listen to anymore he had a feeling he would be feeling nauseous. It seems even Khem thanked him for doing that. "Ok, People call us amoral, but it seems that Sith have no problem seeing two siblings do the naked pretzel? Can I just say double standards much?"

Rurika understood where Mako was coming from, "If I told you the thing some Sith do it for fun, I would need to ask you is the Mandalorian Enclave offer free psychological therapy before I say the things I seen or heard they do." that disturbed Mako and Jack, now they really starting see what might have been that other Bounty Hunter from before reasons were for leaving.

This whole planet was very odd.

The location was pretty close to the speeder place actually. It was the bar that he had planned to have his talk with Rurika it seems.

"Well now we go and kill the rebels controlling the drill, then we go after the slave murder cult and finally we take care of the Trandoshans guarding the tablet, so you be able to kill the guy who looks like a droid and a human had a child together."

Rurika had to admit, that the plan seemed to be quite good for her so she agreed, Khem only asked that if they had any force users that he be allowed to eat them. He was getting a little hungry as is.

The crew handing the drill could be described with one word, morons. "It looks like we will not have that much of a fight. The idiots trying to figure how to use the drills killed a whole lot of their own with the drills. I mean just look at those drills."

Jack was taking aim at a crane holding a massive amount of construction materials, he moved them arm of the crane quietly above the remaining Rebel slaves and with a gentle force push, he unlocked the arms holding the contraction materials. It came crashing down and flattening the rebels who were not expecting this to happen.

That was when the thing Jack didn't expect appeared. A full trained Jedi on Dromund Kaas, It seems the idea of using the drills to destroy the base support structure was not the idea of the slaves.

He came towards them, angry as hell. "Do you have no idea what you just did? These men are trying to free themselves form their slavers. I would expect you to be more sympathetic to their plight Jack. It seems Ringo was right in asking for your exile. Do you have anything to say traitor!" he brings out his lightsaber out.

Jack looked at Khem and then at Rurika. "What is it that you do to force users Khem?"

The big guy smiled and said he devoured them.

"I don't think you will find anything as tasty as that on this world. Would you mind if my friend here has that Jedi for dinner? " Rurika said this with a sweet tone to her voice.

Jack merely bowed to them and said, "Be my guest."

The Jedi was not expecting this as he had his lightsaber ripped from his grip by Jack and Khem looked so happy to have something to eat. As Khem devoured the Jedi, Mako looked away, looking pretty green, Jack took apart the lightsaber. He threw Rurika a focus lense and kept a power crystal for himself.

He had plans to integrate it to his blaster. If he could somehow feed force energy with every shot. This could be quite fun.

"Khem, we need to go but do wipe your mouth. You got a bit handing from right over that side." Rurika said as she pointed at his face. After that, the group made their way towards where the cult was supposed to be.

The slave cult was insane. It was crazy to think that they actually believed that they could be Sith simply because they could be brutal at killing their own. Jack was quite plain to them. "Nobody in this galaxy is actually free, we are all bond in some manner or from."

The leader of the cult asked him to clarify. "It is quite simple. As a Bounty Hunter, I am bound by my honor bring down on those who try escape justice, as a Sith my friend is bound by her honor, her ambitions and her friends and even fellow Sith. Even a beast is bound by his or her hunger. We are all bound. In many ways and too many for me to waste time and explain each on to you." the leader listen, paying close attention.

"The peace and freedom you seek is only as wide and as far as it affects only you. When you live with others thar freedom and liberty is more restricted. Instead of killing each other and help one another. Make someone else's happiness your own and so he another. You can make this camp be a paradise even in slavery."

The leader finally understood what he did wrong and thanked Jack for taking time to explain to them, Jack only request that they at least bury bodies of people they killed, Jack also gave them hope, that one day, they might become free once again.

They then made their way where the Trandoshans guarding the tablet, they were easy to knock out when two force users work together. Jack lifted them up and Rurika shocked them till they were unconscious. Taking the tablet was as easy as taking candy from a baby.

"You know you could probably be a pretty good inquisitor yourself. I could even talk to my master about forging some documents saying that you are one. So how about it? Want to see how the other side live Sentinel?"

Jack saw the way Mako was looking at her. "As much fun as that might be Rurika, I have to pass. I would have to leave someone very important to me and I got many things I plan to do with the other Bounty hunters. As a Bounty Hunter, I can do some good and not be as I said bound by the will of the Dark Council."

Rurika nodded and began to walk towards the bridge along with Jack, before she called out to him. "You know that crazy cult leader was right about something, you do have a way with words. I guess we can't win all the time. Say how about I come along to your meeting with the incestuous couple at that bar. I could use a drink after all this."

Jack had no reason to say no, and Mako had about a dozen reasons to tell her that they could handle it alone.

They reported the mission completion to both Vol Kolla and the imperial officer. It came to no surprise that Vol actually paid them better than the Imperial officer, he also gave Mako a Kal, a Mandalorian dagger.

"Here, you look like the type use a knife, might come in handy just in case, good hunting to you beroyas."

The two nodded and parted ways, they decided to take a pair of speeders back to the city. Jack didn't want to keep Lady and Lord Altaca waiting after all. He got off, Rurika and Khem went off take care of something, he wasn't sure what it was, she said it was a surprise.

As they walked towards the lift to the private party rooms they were stopped by a group of Imperial soldiers, the lead one, a male human wearing Imperial scout uniform, he had quite a scumbag look of him. "Hold it right there off world vermin. Drop your weapons and hands where I can see them?" his men bring out their blaster rifles out.

Jack had a feeling where this was going. "Is there any trouble officer?"

Just as the officer was about to answer he saw a call come in his communicator, the image of Tarro Blood appeared. "Have you taken care off my errand? Did you take care of the so called Jack The Reaper?"

The officer was glaring at a small holo transmission of Tarro Blood. "This is not a good time Blood. Call me later."

Jack looked at Tarro and smiled. "Tarro so nice to see you, I guess I have you to thank for keeping my bounties interesting. That is so nice of you. I am sure I will thank you for this personally later."

Tarro didn't like the sound of that and did his best to hide his fear. "Officer, I paid you well to take care of this pretender. Do what you are getting paid for!" Tarro ended the call. The officer's men now looked confused, looks he didn't feed in on his men.

"Sir, this doesn't seem entirely legit. We want a cut from what that guy is paying you."

Jack took out his modified blaster and smiled at them. "You better leave boys, take my word for it. You can't spend money if you are dead?" two of the Imperials agreed. "Now that makes a whole lot of sense, let's get out of here." the two ran out of the room, leaving only 5 of the Imperial soldiers left, upsetting the officer big time.

"Cowards! the rest of you, open fire on that scum!" The Imperial soldiers shot their blasters at Jack, however he uses a Force barrier block attacks, Mako returns fire, hitting two of the Imperials. Jack jumps in the air with his jetpack, firing his blaster at him, forcing the Imperials dodge.

One of the Imperials brings out a freaking rocket launcher. "Fire in the hole!" he fires a round at Jack, however as Jack came down, he uses his lightsaber slice the rocket, slices the rocket launcher in half as he landed. One of the Imperials attempted charge at him with a knife, but Jack force pushes him into the wall, cracking it.

Mako quickly fires a blaster shot hit one of the Imperials, however one of the Imperials jumps on Jack's back, he try shack him off. "Grh, gah! it's like wresting with a Wookie! yonk!"

Jack throws him off, he charges in on the Commander, setting hard upper cut and downer cut punch, cracking Commander's skull with the crushgaunts as he fell, he grabs his leg and throws him to the other Imperials. He charged right in on them with Mako.


From the private party, everyone stopped what they were doing once the sound of fighting from outside door. Lady Altaca was now getting very annoyed by the noise, she quickly got one of her bodyguards check it out.

"You! go out there and see what is going on." the man next to him however he pats her shoulder, he was about in his 30s, fair skin, shoulder length black hair, a full beard, though he had the typical noble look, he did however did not had the look of a typical noble.

"Now now, you don't need be so rash. Could you please check what is going over there?" he gives a nod to the guard, the guard nods back and goes over to the door to see what was going on. However before he could, the door blasts open, scaring lot of the guests, a Imperial soldier was thrown across the room, hitting where the drinks were being held.

CRASH!

The Imperial soldier groan in pain as he was cover in different types of drinks. Now walking in the room was both Jack and Mako, looked barely harmed in the slightest way, people got out of their way, not wanting mess what to them were armored Mandalorians. Jack and Mako made their way to the suppose 'brother and sister', they looked very wary.

Altaca attempted keep a straight face here, he never had met Mandalorians before. "Ehh, yes, may I help you two with something?" Jack was raising a brow once he got good look of Altaca, he was expecting a much younger man then the reports calm, very odd.

The woman next to him however steps forward. "Please Darling, please don't speak to those armored savages, their Mandalorians. Their clearly not suppose to be here and we shouldn't allow ourselves look we approve, besides look." she points to the damage Jack and Mako caused, "they caused lot of damage, come let's just grab ourselves something to eat."

They were about move but Mako got in the way, giving a very good Mandalorian glare that stopped them good, Jack crossed his arms. "First, my friend here is not Mandalorian, me? well not yet anyway. We just happen love the armor. Second, you two don't really look like you're brother and sister." this made Altaca worried a great deal.

He try explain. "We-we.. we had different mothers, yes that's it! yes, yes, yes, we'll only half siblings. Unless am mistaken." Altaca looked in thought, trying buy the story, however his 'sister' was shacking her head.

"Stew it darling. Just feel the smug knowledge coming off this man. We knew this would happen eventually." Mako decide but in, placing her hands on her hips. "Yeah, only so long you can date your 'brother' till something go wrong." Mako gave a very disgusted look behind her helmet, everyone else in the party seem agree as they started green.

Lady Dak Hah gave a glare at Mako. "So you know our little secret. So what does a insignificant creatures like you want? what would make you dare threaten a noble?" Jack was just shacking his head, this is why he never was big of nobles, they usually always stuck up, at least Altaca seem know his manners.

However before Jack could explain, a familiar voice calls out. "Their here for Altaca, his family is wanted back home." Jack turned to see Rurika and Khem coming in, Khem's appearance made quite few quests ran away, the guards were now bringing out their weapons.

Rurika stops beside Jack, Altaca looked confused. "At home? wait a minute, then that means.." realization soon took over, Altaca gave a angered look to Lady Dak Hah. "You told I was trap here? that I would have to forget my family! that this-this charade was the only way!" people were now looking at Lady Dak Hah and she did not like that one bit.

She gave a glare to Rurika, trying to look like the boss here. "Inside voice darling, I may have exaggerated a bit, but hasn't it been nice here? the parties, the late nights, intrigues and such?" the sweet voice she was making was starting piss Jack and Rurika off, she was talking to Altaca like he was thing, not a freaking human being.

Altaca seemed to agree, he gave a glare to Lady Dak Hah. "YOU WITCH! Keeping me here as your plaything when I could have been home with my sisters and my deer mother." Mako and Khem looked at each other, looks like Altaca might be a momma's boy from way he said that, but overall they couldn't but pity the man, the things that horrid woman must have done to him.

Rurika then decide try something here. "By the way bitch, heard what you said to my friend about 'not suppose be here', I happen let you know this man is my adopted brother." Jack and Mako looked confused, before they see the playful grin on Rurika's face, now they were starting see where this was going.

Lady Dak Hah looked shock for moment, she then realize the lightsaber on Jack's waist. She may be a noble but insulting a Sith? that is something not even nobles like her would do without getting away with it, she attempted take control. "Eh-be as that may! am the one in charge here! as for Altaca, you're such a winy pain it's a wonder you're nobility." Altaca looked just about ready slap her.

She turns to Jack. "Let us make a new deal Bounty Hunter, credits is no limited thing here." Lady Dak Hah assume Mercenaries and Bounty Hunters both want same thing, money. But too bad for her, that wasn't always the case. "No deals witch, you either give me Altaca, or else you're about find out how easy you can crush a skull with these." he waves his crush gaunts front of her.

That made her wonder, she try reason with him. "Don't testing my patience hunter! just because you're adopted brother of this blind shank." she points to Rurika who looks very upset, she was just about a step away from force lighting her, Khem however was now wondering what the noble taste like. Altaca saw and chose smart move by backing up.

"Doesn't mean I can't have you killed! but I rather not cause a scene." Rurika however pointed out a point here. "You should have thought of that before you become a Republic noble lover, I bet ya there's quite few Sith or Imperials who would like know that." Jack was now considering let that info out. Lady Dak Hah glared at Rurika.

"Stew it. Darling, wouldn't you would want stay and the nice parties." there she goes again with the voice, it was now driving everyone nuts, Altaca made his clear statement here. "No chance in hell witch!" Lady Dak Hah gave a very annoyed look.

"I see, very well. I assume Altaca's family will pay less for his body. Kill him and I will slip more credits to your way." that stopped Altaca cold, his eyes widen at this, so did Mako and Rurika even, what was wrong with this woman?

"Wait? you want to kill me?" he was taking steps away from Lady Dak Hah, whom gave a bored look to him, "you think I'll let you ran away and be someone else's pet? never." Jack was now one step away from killing this woman, he couldn't believe how inhuman this woman was being, Mako agreed with Jack.

Mako pulled out her new dagger out. "This is getting more disturbing by the minute." Rurika nodded, "I agree, now am starting be glad I don't come from a noble family like her." Altaca gives a pleading look to Jack. "Please bounty hunter! this witch is clearly insane! please take me back to my family, it would mean so much to them, to my deer sisters and poor mother." Jack was already ahead of him.

Jack steps forward to the bitch and gave her a very nasty glare behind his helmet. "Listen lady, I ain't some dog you can command when ever you feel like it. I don't kill unless either am really angry or I won't have to, you however are starting get on me and my friend's nerves." to prove a point, Rurika brings out her lightsaber, scaring the crap out of Lady Dak Hah.

Rurika however then decide revel her surprise. "Besides, it's actually you whose getting taken away." that confused Lady Dak Hah, before she could ask what was she talking about, the sound of armored feet matching was being heard. Coming out of the broken door now were a dozen Mandalorians in blue armor, all armed to the teeth.

Before the guards could shoot them, Jack quickly force pushed them to the wall, slamming them hard on it. That was final straw for all the guests, everyone ran out of the room. Mako then spot a familiar Mandalorian Twi'lek in green and purple armor. "Vort? what you doing here?"

Vort stops beside Jack. "Got call here by you're Sith friend here, am here collect the bounty on that witch's head." that made Lady Dak Hah worried and angry. "What! you dare, what the blazes you talking about?" Vort was already beginning hate this woman, he gave a unimpressed look to her.

"Well there's bounty for you from a Imperial military family, word has reach about you giving intel to the Black Suns that destroyed a Imperial base on Nar Shaddaa." Jack and Rurika looked at each other, this woman was a real piece of work. However before she could get away, Vort quickly brings his pistol out and shots a stun shot to her, she fell right to the ground.

"Well that was quite easy, I was hoping for something for challenging." Vort then picks up Lady Dak Hah and throws her on his shoulder roughly, he and his men make their way out. "Let me know once you got something challenging for me to do." Jack then turned to Altaca.

"Alright now, gonna place you carbonite so you can leave without the Imperials noticing." Altaca however looked at Rurika, a concerned look was on his face, "but won't you're sister here try bring me to the Sith?" Rurika shook her head. "No offence, but you ain't worth their attention, am just here help my friend here, that was just a bluff I made up." Altaca looked surprised for a moment.

"Oh, I see then, very well freeze me, thank you for all you're help." Jack nodded and uses his carbonite blaster freeze him, after he was finished, Altaca was standing tall, smiling now that he be finally going home.

Mako sigh. "Man, today has been quite a wired day." oh yeah, it has been indeed.
