As they made it back to the ship, he couldn't believe what the Mandalorian couple actually gave him. It was a few multiple mode blasters, some rather sharp looking blades. As much as he wanted to go over the current armory inventory, he had something equally important to do, though he let Ceta go through them, she looked very excited.

Jack set the ship to travel to Nar Shaddaa, the Smuggler's moon. He had been on it before and Jack could swear that it was exactly the same way it was last time. He contacted Crysta to tell her he got the Admiral and was ready for the next target.

"Well Hunter you are going to love this one. The next target is a man who is a complete mystery, he goes by the name of the Eidolon. He has a major arms and security consulting firm on the moon. This of course, upset the Hutts something fierce. They are even willing to pay a large bonus should you capture this one alive."

Jack didn't like the prospect of working for a Hutt or the Hutt Cartels, Nem'Ro was only one he would be more willing to work with, but if he wanted to get a shot at Tarro, he would do what he had to do. "I will try but if the guy proves to be an annoyance, I am liable to just kill him and be done with it. Either way I will get him and that you can count on it."

Crysta nodded and wished him luck, Jack turned off the communication and asked Mako, "Mako we need as much Intel we can get on this Eidolon. It will not be easy but if someone can get me that info it's you." Mako blushed as she heard him praise her skills.

"I actually have a contact that might be willing to help us out. He is an old friend of mine. He works for a guy who would love to take the Eidolon down, since he is also a security broker. I know, I know that makes his as trustworthy as the Hutts but it is what we got to work with."

He looked at Ceta and Laine next. "If anyone in this crew has a problem on this stick hole of a moon, now it is the time to say so. I will do this alone if I must but I rather have some back up. Dealing with Hutts is never pleasant or clean."

Ceta had no problem, Laine said that as long as she didn't eat anything, she would be fine.

Mako was surprised by that last part. "You have a problem with the food here?" Laine looked at her and was looking a little nauseous from even thinking about it. "Mako, the way they prepare the food is not by following any sort of good health regulations. They go by the cost of the ingredients rather if they are healthy. I lost count how many times I got sick eating here. I don't want to trouble Jack because one of his crew development a bad case of diarrhea."

"I never had that problem, and I ate here all the time." Mako said as she began to go through the extranet trying to find some more Intel. Lanie shrugged, "then I guess you have a tougher stomach then me."

The ship then reached Nar Shaddaa, they landed, as Laine and Mako accompanied him, they saw that indeed nothing much had changed, they saw people either fighting each other, doing drugs, Jack even saw few hookers around, he kept a good distance away once they winked at his direction.

Mako grabbed his arm, held with her arm, she gave a glare to the hookers, who they packed off. "This planet hasn't changed at all since I was last here." said Lanie as she looked at the place with disgust, she and Clan Bralor were here once and never visited it again, they really disliked the place.

Jack and the others took the first taxi speeder to the promenade, as he and others made it to the promenade, it seems a bunch of thugs were chasing a man wearing a lab coat of all things.

Jack saw that they had him cornered and so he used force speed to get in between him and the obviously in trouble scientist. "Now boy, what is your beef with this man?" One of them looked at him and flat out told him to keep his nose out of others people business. "What don't you beat it Mando!" shouted one of the thugs, Mako and Lanie shown up, making the thugs more worried at seeing them.

Jack shot the fool on the foot. "I am Jack Keldau of Clan Keldau, now next moron that is even slightly rude, I will kill him. What is your business with him, tell me now or I kill all of you and then ask him what did I save him from?"

The Weequay of the group said that they were after him because a local Hutt wanted him to develop a new means to produce high quality spice and at lower cost to him. The scientist didn't bother hiding his disgust.

"My genius wasted on making illegal narcotics, I don't do drugs or help other do them. I am a expert in xenotechnology. I have no interest in making drugs or helping other make drugs."

The gang was clearly not giving up so Jack had no alternative but to kill them all, Mako and Lanie both shot two of the thugs while Jack swung his lightsaber, catching the last of the thugs, their bodies dropped to the ground. Though the doctor seemed little disturbed, he was at least thankful of them helping. "Now an Introduction would probably be nice. I am Tharan Cedrax and do come out and say hello Holiday we don't want to be rude."

Out of a small hole projector out came, a very friendly looking holographic transmittion of a particularly happy young lady. "Oh, thank you so much. I don't know what I would ever do with out pokie. Are you sure you are alright, honey? I can see your heart rate is still quite high."

Laine could not believe this was happening as soon as they landed on Nar Shaddaa. Mako tried to not look embarrassed at the obvious public display of affection. Good thing she had her helm on.

Jack was raising a brow, that was something he ever seen before. "How about we escort these two home, I wouldn't put it pass them that anymore thugs might try to ambush them inside their own home." Mako was happy to hear that, Tharan and Holiday actually would like that very much.

As they began walking through the promenade, Jack asked if there was any way to remove a bomb from a person's skull without causing severe brain damage or having the bomb go off.

"You mean like those pure wretched people that live in Shadow Town? Sure there is. I even developed a device that can do just that. I developed it in case the Imperials wanted to force me to invent for them by placing me in Shadow Town."

Jack told him his plan to actually go into Shadow Town and actually free the Republic prisoners there. This was all thar Tharan needed to hear. He only made one request, if he found any Imperials that could be also be of what he called be useful to protect others that he would consider freeing them as well

"The Empire is not just keeping Republic soldiers there, but plenty of innocent Imperial civilians as well. Truth be told, I have no idea why you would help Republic soldiers. The Empire is supposed to be your people's major business partner." Tharan was more then aware of strong partnership between the Mandalorians and Sith Empire.

Jack explained that the first thing those Republic soldiers will do is cause a commotion. In the commotion, he could free many innocent civilians and the troops would be too busy to do anything about it.

"Kind of like using a smokescreen to evade a pursuer. I get it and I do owe you for saving me and Holiday. I been happy to let you have the device and better yet, I will teach you how to properly use it." Jack nodded, "good, Mako, you better hear this too, you're better with tech then I am." Mako nodded.

It took couple minutes before they arrived at Tharan's home, and after another couple minutes. Mako and Jack were able understood everything Tharan told them, he hands them the device, placing it in a container. "There, that should be everything, I wish you and you're friends luck, it'll be good to know this device will be saving lives." Jack nodded.

"Good, take care you two." Jack and the others left, Mako carrying the device on her waist, it was luckily small enough to be carried like that. Tharan was deep in thought, Holiday notice it, "there something wrong honey?" Tharan shook from his thoughts. "No, everything's alright, it's just, for some reason am getting the feeling we'll be seeing those again soon."

"Wow, now this was not here when I was here." said Jack as he and the others enter the main building where Mako's contact will at, it was a large room with all kinds of things. A dance floor, a water fountain, some gambler games, even a large gold Hutt statue. "Yeah, this place from I heard, was build roughly during the Great Galactic War, made by some big time Hutt boss, not sure whose name it was though." said Lanie as she follows the others in.

Jack and the others went to where the bar was at, heading down a room, they passed a Mandalorian with a battle droid talking to the guard outside. "Am giving one last chance Mando, take you're droid and get out! you're kind isn't welcome here." the large man in combat armor scowled at the big Mandalorian in blue and silver armor, his battle droid didn't seem happy.

"Master, may I now shot this meatbag? he is becoming very annoying." Jack looked very surprised there, the droid's voice sounded almost like HK 47's, but it was deeper. The Mandalorian shook his head, "no Bes'uliik, I'll deal with this scum myself." however then the guard notices Jack and the others. "Oh for krif sake! I said no Mandos! the last time one of you came here, you're kind was in here, you killed one of our top costumers and wrecked the place! so stay out."

Jack was already disliking this guy, Jack walked up to him and gave him one warning. "Last chance di'kut, get out of our way or else." Mako and Lanie rested their hands on their weapons, the Mandalorian and Bes'uliik were doing the same. The idiot of a guard stood his ground, "fuck off buckethead!" that was his mistake.

Jack thrust his fist into the man's stomach, his crushgaunt shatter the combat plate there, the man fell right to the ground, vomiting violently, he moaned. "Maybe next time, you're listen better, we Mandalorians don't make threats, we make promises." said the big Mandalorian, he turns to Jack, "thanks for taking care of this idiot, luckily his boss isn't around to cause trouble."

Jack nodded, however Mako was curious of what the guard said. "What was that about a Mandalorian wrecking this place?" the large Mandalorian shrugged, "I don't know too much about it, I only heard that a Mandalorian with a Wookie got in a fight with one of top costumers, he had a problem with how he was treating the Twi'lek dancers here, so he kicked his ass real good, but wrecked the place as a result." he points at some of the damage that wasn't fix yet.

"You catch the vode's name." asked Lanie, if Mako remembered it right, vode might brother or sister, it was interesting for Mako how Mandalorians treat most of their fellow Mandalorians like brothers or sisters. "Heard his name was Bendak. Anyway, me and Bes'uliik here have a contact we need get done, see you around vode." he and the droid walks in, going over to talk to a very tough looking woman in light combat armor over a table.

Jack and the others head inside, passing the still knocked on ground guard, there was loud music going on, lots of shining lights and people dancing, Jack didn't like it, the shining lights were bugging his eyes till he switched his visor's screen. "Alright, my friend should be in that room, the guy his working for is some Twi'lek who used to be a nasty slaver working for Hutts, his trying get in big with them."

Jack scowled at mention 'slaver', he really hope this Twi'lek doesn't push his buttons, or else there's gonna be a mess to clean up. However Jack then felt someone grabbing his arm, he turned to see a very pretty looking green skin Twi'lek dancer clutching his arm, she gave him a grin. "Hey there baby, you looking for a good time? cause I could show you one." Mako was a step away from tearing this Twi'lek a new one.

But Jack pull his arm back. "Sorry, but I already got a beautiful woman, and you might want leave, cause she's standing right there." the Twi'lek turned to Mako, she paled as she saw Mako's glaring X visor helmet. "OH! oh am so sorry, I didn't realize.. I'll just leave." the Twi'lek quickly left them be, not wanting get in way of a Mandalorian woman and her man.

Mako couldn't help but blush slightly at Jack's mention of her being beautiful. "Am I really beautiful to you?" Lanie already knew where this was heading to, she quietly got her holo recording out, Jack smirked at Mako's direction behind his helmet.

"Of course, there's no else I want but you in the galaxy, no other women has anything on you." Lanie started laughing as Mako started shutter and wigging her fingers together.

Jack chuckled. "Come on, let's get going." Jack heads down to the room where the Twi'lek boss was at, Lanie got Mako's attention. "Better hurry up Mako, people may start staring at shuttering Mandalorian here." that snapped Mako out of her shutter and she quickly followed Jack in.

The bar had the smell of stale beer and urine. The dancers looked like they were actually just moving through the routine but otherwise bored. Jack went to ask for their contact and they were told to go to a private room. An idiot tried to fist him but Jack caught his hand.

"Now you listen and remember this. I am a Mandalorian, so it is pretty damn obvious I am armed. Now before you say it, the answer is no. I am not handing you my weapons. Now try that with the two with me and I will get mad. Try that with the woman with the X visor and I will kill you. Clear?" the idiot nodded and Jack let go of his hand.

They enter the room where their contact was at, he was a rather heavy looking Twi'lek and he was laughing his head off. "It's alright, I am not worried. I know you don't have a bounty with my name on it or I would be dead already. Come on and have a seat. I hear you want to take down the Eidolon and just for that I am willing to help you in any way I can."

However then a young skinny pale human male enters the room, he was wearing light dark clothes, he had short brown hair, green eyes, and a noise cybernet. "Hey Gele'ren, I haven't finish slicing those casino lugjack, but I thought that.." Mako looked surprise to see him, Jack figure this was her friend she told them about.

"Anuli? wow, you're lot different last time I saw you." Anuli snap his head directs Mako in shock, he knew that voice from anywhere. "Mako! you're alive! I can't believe this, everyone said those Rodian brothers killed you. And you're a Mandalorian?" Mako took off her helmet, she held next to her hip.

"Someone saved me from those bug eye morons, my mentor and adopted father. As for armor, it used to be his before he died." Jack however felt little concern here, it sounded like Anuli and Mako are close, Lanie couldn't help but tease Mako here.

"So, you're old flame here gonna be a problem Mako?" Jack didn't know why, but he felt angry for someone reason, Gele'ren notices this and steps away from Anuli, Mako shook her head in amusement. "What? no, it is not like that, his like my little brother." that lifted lot of worry from Jack's shoulders. Gele'ren however gets their attention, "hey, eh no offence, but how about we get right on to business shall we?"

Mako decided to take his word for it and asked him to remove the slave collar off her friend. This made the man laugh some more. "It's just for show, It's not even active. Doesn't have the shock control chip, I took it out. This is more for his protection than anything else. If someone kidnaps my servant, I will know exactly were to go or send people to rescue him."

Gele'ren begins debrief the two about their target. "The Eidolon never shows up unless he is going to kill everyone, and I mean everyone. This pretty much means there is nobody alive to know what he actually looks like. This is sort of both to ensure his fame and his life. But I got a way he will not resist to come after you."

He touched a computer terminal and began to show the floor plan of a district. "This is where the Eidolon or more specifically his company stores all of his merchandise and arms for his men. If we somehow manage to either transfer or destroy his merchandise, this will be a good step towards getting the Eidolon to come after you."

Jack had to say something here. "Sounds good and all but you realize that the second he finds out it was you that told me where to find all his goods and toys. He will come after you first, right?"

Gele'ren began to laugh again. "I own this joint and everything in it. Nobody will ever find out we are having this conversation and even if they did mention it, nobody would tell the Eidolon out of fear that the Edidolon would kill them for having worked with me. I am perfectly safe, but thanks for showing you at least think of my well being."

He gave him the detailed map and told him that if he liked any of the equipment feel free to keep some of it. "It makes no difference to me if you blow it up or keep some of it. As long as the Eidolon suffers, I am a happy man."

He began to get up and Mako finished her drink. Laine was just looking at her not believing what she just saw her drink, it was in a very unheathly color that just seems wrong on so many levels. "How can you stand that? that looks like it came from garbage pin." Mako shrugged, she gotten use to Nar Shaddaa's tastes.

They walked to the speeder pad and took a speeder to the Nikto Sector. It was pretty straight forward or so they planned. The thing they had not expected was to see this really badly beaten up Nikto practically begging for anyone to avenge the death of his brother.

"The Kings think they own this sector and push all businesses to give them kickbacks. My brother tried to get the merchants to get together and put an end to the extortion racket by the gang. They killed him but I know how to get revenge. They love their bikes more than they love their mothers."

He took a device from his backpack. "If you put one of these on a speeder bike of theirs, it will fry out the systems if their bike. Then we can take care of them because they will not be able to retaliate or escape."

Jack had to agree that it was a good idea, he promised to get every single bike the gang had. The beaten Nikto gave him the pack and promised him that the local business owners would owe him a major favor.

Jack began tinkering with the devices as soon as he and the others enter the area, they wiped out a large group of thugs. He decided to change the detonator to a proximity sensor. The moment the idiots make to the bike would overload alright but the amp on the electrical short would fry the idiot bikers.

He used force camouflage and sneaked in to each bike in the sector and began to plant them on the bikes. Mako and Laine decided that since he was off having fun, why not have a moment to talk and improve their teamwork.

"So Mako, what exactly do you see in Jack anyways?" Laine asked as she cleaned something out of the bottom of her foot. Mako knew that she was technically spoken for so she didn't see any reason why not to answer.

"Well his kind, thoughtful, caring, sweet, tender, honorable and treats me like an absolute princess. Physically the man is one hell of a hunk and I want to be the only one to get to have his kids. Because believe me when I say I want to settle down and us having a family."

Laine just had to say what if he only wants her for a few good nights and nothing more. Mako made the Cathar surprised and shiver a little as she glared at her. "He wouldn't dare, if he values his testicles he would never dare to use me as an passing entertainment. If he does I will make a eunuch out of him."

'Note to self: don't mess with Mako about her love life. This chick is scary when she is really pissed off.' Laine had no choice but to agree to tell her about her relationship with her man. She didn't want to upset Mako anymore than she already was.

Jack calmly walked over to them and told them that they really needed to begin hitting the Eidolon merchandise and weapons storage places. "What about the bikes?" Laine asked him which he only said to wait for the firework.

As Jack walked where the King's gang leader was at, Jack said something that made him angry. "I don't see why the people on this sector are afraid of these so called King's? Their rides are pure junk, they can shoot straight and are as dumb as a lobotimized Rancor. I just don't see why everyone is scared of these losers."

That made him call every member of the gang to mount up and come to him. He even said that they had to teach a lesson on humility to a loud mouth pretending to be a Mandalorian. As soon as they turned on their bikes the proximity sensor kicked in and every single bike looked like it was hit by some serious force lightning. Every member on the bikes and speeders dropped dead.

"Well, that takes care of that, come on, we'll let the Nikto know we did his job once we take care of real reason we came here." Mako and Lanie nodded and follow Jack to location where their target's base was at. They were force to fight through members of the Exchange in the area before they were at where location was at, in hallway were guards of the company.

Jack and the others fought through them, taking down droids and guards alike. "Many, how many guards does the Eidolon have?" said Lanie as she uses her flamethrower to burn several of the guards, Mako uses her Kal to slice neck of one of the guards before she kicked him over the edge, she then blasted one of the other guards.

"Well, doesn't matter. Try find anything useful and destroy anything we can't take." Jack force pushes the last guards within the room over the edge. They search through the crates, finding either credits or useful tech, Mako found few interesting blaster mods in one crate, Lanie found good amount of credits in few. "Alright, Mako, set up some bombs to blow these sky high, me and Lanie will take care of rest in other rooms."

Mako nodded and begins setting things up the bombs. Lanie and Jack made their way towards the other rooms, taking down any guards in their way. However in last room, was the science lap of somekind, there were several people working on terminals, before they stopped to take note of Jack and Lanie.

"No one moves alright, we'll only here for things on terminal, that is all." Jack walked towards the main terminal, however one of the scientist stops him. "Stop! I've been watching you on the surveillance monitors, I know what you're planning to do and you have to stop it. Please, there are dozen of civilian technicians and engineers working here. If you blow up the facility, you're be killing them all."

Jack raise a brow, Lanie was thinking the samething Jack was thinking. "Then why haven't you people started running for exit yet?" the scientist begins explain, saying the security chef turned off alarms that sign people get out, saying he didn't want the attack made public. "Look, I only need few minutes round up everyone to get out of here, do what you came here to do afterwards."

Jack nodded, "Very well, make it quick." the scientist nods and he and the others quickly run out of the room to warm the others, however three large guards step into the room, they pushed through the running scientists to get to Jack and Lanie. "Alright you piece of shit, get ready to meet you're maker!" shouted one of the guards as he aims his blaster rifle at him.

Jack however couldn't help but comment at his threat. "That is one of the worst threats I have ever heard... of all time." that pissed off the guard, "shut up!" but before the guard could shoot him, Jack thrust his lightsaber to their direction, slicing their heads off. "Alright, that's enough of that, let's go find Mako." Jack quickly works on terminal, taking care of what they needed take care of.

The two make their way out, meeting with Mako just as she finished the last bomb, the civilians were already leaving the area. "Alright, let's get going, this place is gonna blow." the others quickly made their way, the civilians were able make it out with them as the bombs went off, destroying the facility along with anything Mako, Lanie, and Jack didn't take.

They made it back to the beat up Nikto, who was very happy that they were able help him take down the Kings, he gave them couple hundred credits for the job. After that, they made it back to their contact the guy looked like he was the happiest Twi'lek on the entire blasted moon. "I wish I had seen it go up in smoke. If I know the Eidolon, he must be fuming mad right about now. You cost his a small fortune. Ready for the next one?"

Jack just cracked his knuckles and looked at him. "Sure, who or what do we destroy next?" Mako had seen him act this way and it was always when something was bothering him. For Laine this was still a bit of suprise.

"You might not know this but the Eidolon actually used to be a hired killer for the Hutt Cartels. It didn't take him long to figure out that their was more money to be made opposing the Cartels than just taking orders. Of course easier said that done. So in order to get strong fast, he began as an unknown independent spice dealer."

Jack didn't like the spice trade and he knew this would always contribute if indirectly to the second thing he hated the slave trade. "As you might have guessed it, he still has major spice labs, and thus he has secured quite the income base. We are going to make him lose that income base."

Anuli told them something interesting. "An old friend of mine told me the main spice production labs for the Eidolon were in the Red light district. Not really so surprising since it is a sector where immoral behavior is practically the norm."

They did warn them that a particularly nasty gang was going around attacking people and killing them for their organs. There was also several drug labs that conducted business besides the ones the Eidolon himself or herself owned.

The trip on the speeder was quick and as soon as Jack and others stepped off, he knew this was a sector that he would have to watch out for. "Alright you two don't take anything for granted and keep an eye out for anyone and anything that can give us a better idea what the Eidolon is doing with these labs."

The Red light district was as seedy as he imagined and true he found a person who in fact request that he helped him shut down the drug labs. It was as he explained it that he quit using drugs from the sheer lack of supply.

Jack was more than happy to black the drug dealing scumbags to Kingdom come and would not lose an once of sleep. The drug labs were in ruins before lunch time and boy what the ex-junky happy that he was so through. Not a single drug lab remained able to produce any drugs at all.

The other thing he managed to do was to destroy every single organ harvesting gang member they ran across. The Weequay that was in charge of the district made it perfectly clear that the surviving members cut a deal with the Cartel. They said that they didn't expect the Hutts to send a whole team of Mandalorians to clean house.

The man paid Jack a hefty amount paid for by the local business association. The last thing he took care of came from a local private detective, a Evcoil. He told him to watch out for a local club, several officers of the Republic military had gone missing there.

Jack didn't like the sound of it, so he and the others decided to investigate the supposed club. After killing the guards and the crook selling the soldiers, he freed one of the soldiers. The poor guy looked like he was beaten pretty badly but thanks to Mako, she was able to offer first aid. They learned that the creep doing the buying was a complete psycho that worked out of the quarantine zone.

They took the lift down to the supposed place where they had shipped the other soldiers. "Mako why does this feel like an Imperial facility? I need you to contact the local Republic garrison and send us some back up. This is going to get messy and fast."

True enough he met the psycho doctor but surprisingly enough he was fairly sociable. "So you came to admire my work, I managed to make a person be indistinguishable form another through chemical substances and Gene therapy. I am the only one to have achieved this."

Jack asked if that was what he was doing to the man on the table, he was a Rattataki, had a calm look in his eyes. "Oh him, he is just asleep. Let me wake him up." The man woke up feeling like he been put through a meat grinder. "Wake up, someone has come to rescue you, isn't that wonderful."

The officer was surprised to see three Mandalorians in front of him. "This sick bastard has been cutting us up and using the parts to implant them on other people."

The Rattataki made no attempt hide the truth. "Yes, the Empire promised to continue to support my research if I manage to make sleeper agents, so that they can replace Republic officers and weaken the Republic from with in."

Jack took a blaster and demanded that he give the names of every sleeper agent he made so far and when he didn't want to cooperate, Mako told him she hacked the local network and had the information already. "Then I will not need you at all."

Jack blasted the psycho doctor's head off and went over to the Republic soldier. "This is a list of the sleeper agents. You better take it to an SIS agent by the name of Theron. Tell him this is a birthday gift from his godfather. He will know who that is." the Republic officer nodded as the three made it out of the building.

By the time they made it back to the meeting place, everyone was already dead, Mako quickly rushed to body of Anuli, "Anuli! no, no, no, not you! please." Jack placed a hand on Mako's shoulder, Mako rushed in Jack's chest and hugged him tight.

"It's okay Mako, we'll make the Eidolon pay for this, Lanie, check out the room, see where Gele'ren may have went." Lanie nodded and looked around, Jack went down to Anuli's dead body, he closed his eyes, "am sorry this had happen to you, wish you could have had better life then this."

However, Lanie then found a message was waiting for him by the Eidolon, Jack active it and a image of a male Zabrak with dark tattoos across his face, he had a look of a cold blooded killer. "So you are the foreigner that destroyed my goods and disrupted my cash flow." he gave small grin.

"You were a challenge find, should have guess Jack the Reaper would be after all." Jack cross his arms, Mako tighten her fist as she glared at Eldolon, rage build in her as she looked at her friend's killer. "I never took the Eldolon for a coward, killing those who can't defend themselves? that's just sad." Eldolon however didn't look insulted, he shrugged.

"I gave you're friend the chance defend himself, not my fault he proven himself to be weak, still, he had more courage then that idiot fat Twi'lek, Gele'ren." Mako was very attempted just to shoot the recording, but Lanie place a hand on her shoulder, calming her down.

Eldolon decides cut to the chase. "Given your a Mandalorian, this will make things more interesting, and a challenge. I demand an Taung blood duel to the death at this following location."

The map shows the location to be in a place that was on the same level as shadow town. "I will be waiting Jack the Reaper, let us hope you will prove the stories of you are true." he cut off his holo from there. Jack turned to Lanie, he wasn't sure what was a Taung blood duel, Lanie began explain.

"Taung blood duels are when a Mandalorian's honor is put to question and is solve by a duel to death, there very rare happen as it's usually when it's two Mandalorians have a problem with each other. How the Eldolon knew this, I don't know." Jack contacted Ceta, made sure she knew they were now headed towards Shadow Town. She understood the need to fight this duel but didn't like the location of it one bit.

"Alright, but Jack be careful in that region, I hear lot of nasty things the Imperials do there, they may not take lightly when you show up even with you're contacts within Empire. Also, I got tip about something, you're bounty hunter rivals are waiting for you in Shadow Town, the Zargnor Clan are them." that snapped Mako from her sadden trance once she heard it.

"Wait? the Zargnor clan? really? this makes things little harder." Jack looked to Mako, "who are the Zargnor clan?" Mako began explain they were a Ugnaught clan that gotten into the Great Hunt by using a giant battle droid they would ride in. "They used the blaster cannons to blow up the other rivals during Grand Melee, making them the winners."

Lanie shook her head at the thought of it. "Well, that is odd. Hopefully it shouldn't be a problem, we deal with enough droids know their weakness." Jack nodded, he and the others made their way out, with Jack carrying Anuli's corpse in a bodybag. Ceta shown up to take the body so they can bury him on a better world. "I'll see to it, hopefully we'll find better world bury him on."

Ceta gave a nod to Mako, she returned it. Jack and the others then made their way towards the speeder, taking it to Shadow Town.

As fate would have it the made it, thought the entrance to Shadow Town and for the most part it was a lot nicer than some of the prisons even Jack visited. It was mostly clean and orderly and the murder between fellow inmates was not as bad as in other places.

The murder of inmates by the guards however was quite high. They made it through to the place where he was supposed to fight the Eidolon and just as he expected, he brought with him some pretty heavy hitters of his company. "So much for a duel, do I have to kill everyone of your goons before I get a chance to fight you or what?" Mako and Lanie gotten ready for a fight.

The Eidolon laughed and he smiled at this comment. "No need, they wouldn't last a minute against you if the stories I hear are true. They are here as expectators, we have to have an audience for our little show, who knows maybe these idiots will actually learn something."

"So how we doing this weapons or no weapons? I would like the chance to beat your skull in myself with my own two hands. I still need to make you pay for what you did to me." The Eidolon didn't understand what could he have done to make him so angry.

Jack reminded him of the guy he killed. "That was practically my brother in law. You upset my significant other something fierce. You know the old saying, 'if mama ain't happy, nobody is happy'."

The Eidolon took his as a perfect chance to show off his hand to hand skills, so he agreed. Jack took a stance that Mako knew but Laine was the first time seeing it. He made the universal sign of come and get some.

The Eidolon rushed in and that was a big mistake. Jack gave a low roadhouse kick that made him lose his balance and then began to give the Eidolon a series of punches that sent him flying up in the air and in a blink of an eye, he jumped up and slammed him down with a two handed strike to the head.

Some of the thugs could have sworn they hearing him break a bone or two on their boss. The Eidolon got up and tried to punch him again he caught the hand and flipped on his arm and gave him kick to the jaw and finally using the momentum slammed him against a wall.

He stood still waiting for the next attack. The Eidolon decided to hit him with a flying kick. Jack didn't even hesitant as he countered him with a rising jab to the family jewels. This made the Eidolon drop and curl up into the fetal position.

"Okay, now you piss me off." said the Eidolon as he gets up, changing stance. Jack said that was for his brother in law. He knew then that he was really upset about it. The fight continued for thirty minutes. The Eidolon did manage to give him a few good hits to the face and chest but the Eidolon looked like he got in a fight with three Rancors and they were just done preparing the meat for the barbecue.

Jack breaks Eidolon's left leg, before grabbing his arm and twists it, breaking it. The thugs winced at the sound of bones breaking, Jack kicks him right into the wall, hitting it hard, the Eidolon weakly gets up. "Alright, you win. But listen to me. Yes I may sell drugs but my stuff is cleaner than most on the market. I may upset the Hutts but those scum treat everyone like trash. If you take me in alive, they will make an example out of me and drag out my death to humiliate and prevent anyone from standing up to them."

The Eidolon fixed his dislocated shoulder and continued. "As for your rival, I already took care of that. They tried to buy parts for their little tank. I am the only one that had the parts and I flat out made it impossible for them to buy the parts they needed."

Eidolon stands on his better leg, looking at Jack in his visor. "Just do me a favor, don't take me in alive. Hell I will pay you double the bounty on me, if you grant me a merciful death. Don't let the slimy bastards use me to make the situation even worse for the people on this moon."

Jack nodded his head and walked over to him. "Alright, I will grant you your request." however he turns to Mako, "but it will not be me, it will be her, you did killed her friend." Eidolon nodded and faces Mako as she takes out her blaster, "you are lucky to have someone like him, not many can say they have a lover that cares for you like him." Mako pulls the trigger, hitting the Eidolon right in his heart.

He hits the ground hard, he gives out one last breath of words. "Now, I am truly... a specter." his head turns to the side, laying dead. The group of men watching were tempted to kill Mako. But Jack took out his lightsaber and smiled. "Alright boys, who is next?"

The glare made the thugs drop their blasters and run for dear life as Jack deactivated the lightsaber and they packed in the body for delivery.

"Now off we go to the Industrial sector. We need to check if the rivals really quit or they were lying to the Eidolon." Mako told them as they walked off.

As they made their way they saw someone that they didn't expect. Thalia was walking with a human woman, heading towards them. "Blade is this you friend? Why is someone like here in this dump?"

Thalia was smiling by the time she walked up to them. "Shara Jenn was my analyst, my watcher. She got sent to this dump when she tried to remove the brainwashing that intelligence did on me. I came on a mission true but I am trying to figure a way to get her out of this dump."

The woman had short black hair, lovely face, and a figure that would make some women green with envy, though Jack still believes Mako was still better. "I might have a way to get her out of this dump, but I need to know somethings. Can you get her a fake identity papers and is she willing to come and join my crew?"

Shara smiled and told him what he needed to know. "I am an expert counterfeit and information slicing. I can get the paperwork done faster than you can finish a shot of ale. The problem is this bomb inside my skull. If you can get me out of here without my head blowing up. Then yes, I will join your crew."

Mako was already getting the device ready on a nearby table. "Well, we got a group of Uggnaughts to deal with, so might as well get this done. Come over and let's get that bomb out of you." Shara nodded, Mako takes out the device that Tharan had gave them and uses it on Shara.

The device did something some people consider impossible. It locked in the bomb and with a flash of light it disintegrated the bomb and even closed the two small holes on the skull that the lasers had cut.

Jack walks over to Shara and shacks her hand. "Welcome aboard Shara Jenn, I am Jack Keldau, no doubt Blade already told you much of my group. This is my significant other Mako, that is my friend Laine of Clan Bralor, and we got Ceta of Clan Farr back on my ship."

Jack saw a smile on Thalia's face and he could tell she was happy Shara was going to be able to leave Shadow Town. Shadow Town was definitely not for a lady like her friend.

Shara nodded, thankful of them for helping her. "Thank you, it will be interesting working with Mandalorians, I don't believe I worked with you're kind before." Jack smile, "looks like this will be a interesting experience for ya. There anything else you need help with Blade?" asked Jack as he turns to Thalia, she shacks her head.

"No, that was all I need help with, I'll let you know once I have something else I need help with. Take care Shara, hope you find working with Jack interesting." Shara nodded as Thalia makes her way out. Jack turns to the others, "alright, Lanie you can head back to the ship, see if Ceta needs help with anything. Me, Shara, and Mako will deal with the Uggnaughts."

Lanie nodded, as they walked towards to the speeder, Lanie took one back to the ship while the others took one to the Industrial sector. It took couple minutes before they arrived in the area. Jack turns to Shara as she and Mako got out.

"So Shara, you got everything you need for combat?" Shara takes out a very advance looking sniper rifle, loading a round into. "I believe am fully ready, it is not my first time that I been in combat before." Jack nodded, happy know she can fight, they started walking to where their rival was at, hoping get this done so they can leave Nar Shaddaa.

But what Jack doesn't know, is that he was about find something that may answer his questions regarding what happened to his adopted mother, Revan.
