Jack was surprised to say the least. "So let me get this straight I send you to form an alliance with House Organa and instead you two fall in love with each other and are engaged to marry? Does that about cover things?" Zacar was laughing as he said it like that. They had enter House Organa's main building to go over some matters, Jack was surprised to find Zacar here.

Belana on the other hand was equally amused but not surprised by his reaction. "I know that it is rather quick but I know I will never find a better prospect for a husband. Yes, you did leave out that thanks to me and my future husband working together we finalized those negotiations in record time."

She looked at her friend. "Honestly I thought that at best I would get an ally to defeat House Thul and protect Alderaan. I never imagined that I would meet the love of my life instead. I hear King Ulgo has been removed from his throne and that he is to face a full tribunal for his actions. That was quicker than I figured Jack. Instead of trying to figure if we have been intimate, which we have, be happy that you can report your target to your Enclave."

This made Zacar blush as he wasn't expecting his future wife to be quite so open with his advocate. "I guess this is pretty much one happy occurrence. You didn't only help my children find true love but me as well. Jack always remember that House Girard will be forever indebted to you. If you need our help you have but to ask."

Jack knew he had to report his success on his hunt and so will the a fond farewell he departed to the space port. The trip was largely uneventful and in fact was rather smooth a little too smooth. He knew that something was going to happen and he knew that he was not going to like it.

Sure enough, as Jack and the others enter the hangar to his ship was empty which screamed to him of an ambush. That was when several mercenaries showed up around his ship. The thing was they were all dead. HK was modifying his repeater blaster rifle as he saw Jack arrive.

"Remorseful Response: Young Master I am sorry to inform you that you just missed a delightful little ambush. These meatbags were hired by House Thul. It appears they aren't too happy with your actions as advocate of House Girard."

Jack could see his old friend was practically smiling as he said that. "HK, I am feeling a bit hungry. I could use a nice plate of those sweet cupcakes you used to bake for me during my birthday. Please skip the usual poisons and other deadly toxins I plan to shared them with someone special."

HK looked at him and looked at Mako next. "Shocked Response: Young Master you know full well that those so called toxins were there to fortify your immunity to said toxins. They are not lethal at all and in fact give my cupcakes a rather tangy bite. But if you would rather have some plain sweet cupcakes I shall have them ready before dinner."

This made the others give Jack a questioning look almost asking if he was trying to poison them. Mako was smiling that he indeed was going to share something that good with her.

As they boarded the ship, each went to their preferred place on the ship except for Mako and Jack since he had to report his success dealing with the target. "Crysta, the Durasteel Duke is taken care off. I need to know when will the next target information be sent to me."

Crysta looked rather impressed at what he managed to do. "Well color me impressed. You just bagged one bounty nobody in the Galaxy believed could be done. Also you just won me a small fortune in a bet we handlers made on this particular target. As for the next target, you will have to wait till we have the other opponent for that target. That means waiting for the other hunters to be done fighting between themselves. So consider it a bit of a vacation and you might want to take care of things."

Jack told her it was alright, he did have a few missions that he could do to take care of things. As Crysta ended the communication, Jack looked at Mako. "Mako have you found anything about this so called Coral yet?" Mako told him that she had a message from her and she requested to meet with her on some derelict space station.

"The only reason I didn't mention it was that I didn't want my personal stuff to hamper your progress in the Great Hunt. I knew that the Durasteel Duke would be difficult for you since it was on Alderaan. I would like for you and maybe Laine to come with me to meet my so called sister. That whole meeting is giving me a weird vibe."

She wanted to meet her in a derelict space station of all places. The thing has not been in use since the end of the Mandalorian Wars. In fact this station was the station that had been their first place to plan strategy against the Mandalorians. Jack had HK fly to where the space station was at. It took some time before they arrived, Jack turns to most of the crew who came over.

"Alright be ready, something doesn't feel right here. Mako and Laine are coming with me, the rest of you be ready, I don't like this." Ceta nodded, Gault however was getting a bad feeling here, "let's just be ready leave, I know a ambush when I see one." Jack nodded, he knew Gault would be right one to talk when ever a ambush was about to happen. Jack and the others headed down the ramp, Laine looked around.

"How old is this place? it looks.. ancient." Laine figure this was very old, Jack quickly answered. "Roughly 320 years old, am surprise this place was still around." He remembered quite well and he walked towards the command center.

Coral had not shown up, so he decided to check if his old item was still present. He went to the command console and began punching a series of numbers. "Jack not that I don't mind seeing you touch numbers on that relic, but what are you trying to do with that fossil of a computer." Mako was surprised when she saw that the display come to life and several dozen files went from the old computer into his gauntlet terminal.

"Not much, I am just grabbing my family photo album, I kept a copy of it here. This station has been better days but this was the first base my mother's fleet ever had. So you could probably say I have a bit of a history with this place. Speaking of history, Coral how long so you plan on hiding like that?"

Mako and Laine didn't understand what he was referring to, till they saw a optical camouflage turn off and person that looked exactly like Mako appeared, but she was wearing red combat armor, her right side of her brown hair was longer. "I was just waiting for you to be done with your trip down memory lane. I can tell you really love those old files, could never get that terminal to boot up myself."

Coral looked over Jack. "So this is the guy who you find attractive huh sis? I can't really blame you. He does have that self confidence, I knew from the way he touched the terminal looked confident and as he looked at those photos I could tell he is really sweet too. Not to mention what a hunk. Overall good choice and I hope you are happy with him."

Mako was not expecting to hear that from her. She became rather upset at the hunk remark. "Coral you wanted to meet, so how about we get down to business and leave the other stuff after we both know where we stand?"

Coral knew she would say that since she knew Mako would want to get the meeting over with as quickly as possible since she made her think she found her man attractive too. "I just wanted to tell you that SIS creep lied to you. If we are Clones for some research project, were are all the others? I am going to tell you where to find the truth of our folks. You need to go back to a moon orbiting Onderon. Your boyfriend should know it, it's an old Mandalorian training ground after all."

Jack didn't like the sound of that one bit. "We are going to find info about her parents on Dxun? You have got to be kidding. Mako, I don't know about you but I smell a trap. Something tells me this person is sending us there to either get killed or so she can escape from someone."

Coral dropped the cutesy act in a hurry and realized the rumors about him were true he really was the Jack The Reaper. "Darn, and here I was thinking I could trick you. Yeah, I wanted to use you to get caught by the SIS guys so I can live free. Why would I care about some thing made in some lab. I guess I should know better than to try and trick a former Jedi Master."

Coral takes out two blaster pistols, making the others take out their weapons, Laine growled, she didn't like the feeling she was getting off Coral, neither did Jack, he felt something twisted in her. "Coral, we don't need do this, we'll freaking sisters!" Yelled Mako, she didn't want have to fight someone that is her sister. Coral shook her head, she looked very angry now.

"You aren't my sister Mandalorian, you're just a copy, nothing more, nothing less. Am the real one!" Coral made her move there.

But she was too late, Jack decided to end the fight rather quickly by using some of his Jedi powers. First he made her lose her balance and trip with a little use of force push and then when she was trying to use a chair to stand back up again he used force pull on the chair. Causing her to fall all over again. When he saw her disoriented enough he finished her off by holding her by the throat in a very light force choke which caused her to become unconscious.

When she was out cold he tied her up, with some rather nice rope. He finished tying her by placing a ribbon on her almost like she was a present which made Laine and Mako laugh. "Ok, now what do we do with her? I for one would just kick her out the nearest air lock." Jack said and saw Mako shake her head.

"Jack why don't we call your godson and have her taken into custody. I mean she might be my sister of sorts but I am sure she committed quite a few crimes. Those SIS guys were not looking for her for nothing you know."

Jack had to agree that she was probably escaping for some crimes she committed. "Very well Mako, but I have to keep an eye on her so she doesn't escape. Could you call Theron and tell him we got a package he really needs to come and pick up?"

She smiled and told me that she would love to, and she began using her implant to actually send the message. As Coral woke up and looked how she was tied she didn't look happy at all. "Cheap shot, why did you tie me up instead of killing me? Do you get off by tying me up like this?"

Jack smiled at her and using his voice he made her do something she would forever wish she had never done. "You will tell me what crimes you have committed." for some strange reason she felt quite happy to tell him every single wrong thing she ever did.

"I killed or caused the death of every single clone they made of me. Your little girlfriend is the last. I also killed my fair share of SIS agents and Republic soldiers. I blew up three space stations and four labs."

As she finished saying that Theron walked in and he looked like he heard every word she said. "You don't say. I guess I should really thank you Mako. I would have missed this confession had you not told me where the supposed meeting was going to take ahead of time. And don't go and get angry at her. I know she did it because she feared for your safety. Consider it more proof that she actually loves you."

Jack looked at Mako with a serious look. "So let me get this straight. You told Theron before you told me of this meeting didn't you? I guess it was also a possibility that you already knew that the other supposed sisters met with shall we say tragic accidents and wanted him as a back up plan. I won't deny that in some part I am impressed with your planning of this little encounter, but deep down I must say that I am hurt that you don't trust me."

Coral was in shackles before Mako could answer that last comment. "Now that I am here and I got some free time there are a few things I need to tell you godfather. First I told mother of your suspicious and your apprentice and her new master have launched a full investigation into your supposed charges of treason. It goes without saying that Ringo and his supporters are royally pissed off at the moment. Don't worry mother can take care of herself and she knows if he can't deal with this alone she can always count on you to back her up."

He began touching his terminal and a few pictures showed up, "Since the investigation has been going for a few months they have sent a few dozen Jedi across many planets. Depends on who sent them if you want to know their objectives. Mother and those loyal to her sent them to either get you to come back to Tython voluntarily or to capture you and bring you to the Council."

Jack could see where this was going and decided to say it himself. "Ringo and his stooges sent their padawans to try and kill me didn't they? I imagine their are smaller in numbers than what your mother sent. Listen kid, and listen good. I am not returning to Tython if my life depended on it. You can tell Satele to stop wasting her time. She might not have agreed with the charges and my exile but exiles require a majority vote by the Council."

Theron didn't like the sound of that last part, Jack saw this. "That is right my godson, she might not have betrayed me and framed me of doing something I never did. The fact remains that the majority of the Council did betray me. It would be suicide for me to even set foot on that planet. I might have some nice things for you to pick up and maybe, just maybe if you take credit for their capture you might just receive a nice promotion."

Theron didn't to be told otherwise. "In that case we should establish a secure line of communications between us. I just happen to know just the thing. A program that we can use our terminals to communicate and be encrypted to only allow both of us to see the data. A genetic encryption key as it were. This is something you could set up couldn't you Mako?"

She gave each of them a data chip with the very same program they finished discussing. "Way ahead of you boys. That data chip has the exact same program and even managed to even encode your DNA profiles. Think of it as a gift for what you did for me with Coral." Theron nods, he turns to see two Republic trooper coming in, both carrying blaster rifles.

"I better take Coral before she tries to get out. I'll see ya around Jack." Jack nods to him, Theron and the two Republic troopers escort Coral out, though Mako shares once last glance at her before sighing, Jack places his hand on her shoulder, "you gonna be alright Mako? Am sorry this ended this way." Mako nods, she clings on Jack's hand. "Yeah I'll be fine, it's just... I was actually really hoping to finally find my family, but I just end up finding out the only sister I probably have is a killer."

Laine gives her a smile. "Hey, you have us Mako, we Mandalorians have a saying, 'Aliit ori'shya tal'din', family is more then blood." Mako thought about that, before smiling herself. Looks like she isn't alone afterall.

000

"So let me guess, it was a trap wasn't it." Asked Gault as Jack and the others enter the ship. Gault was shitting on a chair, eating a fruit, Jack walks pass him. "Yep but it worked all in the end. Anything happen that I should know?" Ceta comes from her room to answer him, "we got a message from the Imperial fleet while you were away, requesting help for a top mission."

Jack raises his brow. "Did it give any details what the mission was?" Ceta shook her head, "no, just the rest of the details of the mission will be debrief on Vaiken Spaceport." Ceta then decides drop the bomb here. "Oh and that the reward for this mission about 3 million credits." Jack's eyes widen, Mako and Laine were shocked. Gault himself chokes on his fruit, hitting his chest.

"Wait! 3 million credits? Jack, please tell me we'll answering that." 3 million credits was not something to laugh at. Jack thought it over, before nodding, "Alright, let's get going to Vaiken Spaceport then." Gault smiled here, Mako herself liked where this was going. Jack heads up to the cockpit, seeing HK on the handle.

Jack nods to HK. "Querry: Very well Master, heading to the Imperial fleet now." HK sets their ship to head to the Imperial fleet. Mako comes back by Jack's side, "Here I was hoping for a break." Oh yeah, the money for the reward is not something you get the chance of everyday.

It took some time before they finally arrived to the Imperial fleet, it still looked impressive as last time Jack was here. HK was able set their ship down in one of the hangars, Jack turns to the crew. "Alright everyone, I'll be taking Gault and Ceta for this one, the rest of you can enjoy a good break while we check out this job." They nodded, they headed out of the ship, heading towards to the elevator.

Mako gives one last glance to Jack. "Just be careful out there Jack, something tells me there's a reason why the reward is 3 million." Jack nods, he shares one last kiss with Mako, before pulling back. "I will, just make sure the others stay safe." Mako nods and catches up with the others. Jack, Gault, and Ceta make their way to one of the other hangars where their get the details of the bounty.

As they walked through the station they saw someone smiling at him by the door to the very room they were supposed to use the holocomunications terminal inside. "Well Jack you are looking as healthy as ever is see, who are your friends? Where is Mako?" The pure blooded Sith woman asked him as she removed her helm.

"Yukina so nice to see that you are still the friendly person I remember. She is on the ship doing some research. I should ask where is your friend too, what was her name? Vette I think she was. How are you handling being the apprentice of Darth Baras? And why do I get the feeling you were waiting for me?"

Yukina laughed as she heard him say those things. "Vette doesn't like the air in this station so she decided to stay on my ship. I am sure she will keep busy. As for Baras painfully I must say he is truly a nightmare to have as a master. I got the same mission as you do. So of course I was waiting for you and wanted to see how you are doing. You are my friend after all."

A cough was then heard, Jack turned to see Yukina wasn't alone, standing with her was a lean human man in a Imperial uniform, he was fair skin, short black clean hair. He had a Imperial look alright, but also a professional soldier. "Sorry, Jack this is Malavai Quinn, he helped me on Balmorra." Malavai stood at attention, "Jack the Reaper, I was there when you were laying waste to the Rebels, you made my job easier there. I look forward to working with you." Though Malavai was a by the book soldier, he did however respect Jack.

Jack nods. "Good to meet you Malavai. Come on, we better see what's going on." Yukina nods.

As they both stepped in and Gault and Ceta followed them they felt like a scanner had just scanned them. The second the scanner was done identifying them, a huge of a man stood appeared on the console holographic display. He was pale skin, Jack could make out scars on his face and his eyes were yellow, Jack could see very well this was Darth Malgus, a legend among the Sith.

"Darth Malgus I presume, before we get started mind telling me why you sent that Bounty my way? I would never except someone so high in the Sith ranks to ask me for my assistance." This must have been funny to the man because he began laughing as he heard him say that.

"In truth, I felt the same way when I realized that you would be the only one to succeed on this mission, where many others would have failed. I once believed that the universe would implode in on itself if a Sith lord had to ask a Jedi Master for assistance and that Jedi Master actually agreed to help said Darth, but here we are."

Jack was smiling as he crossed his arms over his chest looking rather impatient. "I am sure as much as I would love to debate the similarities and differences between the Jedi and Sith Codes we have things that need to get done. So what are the objectives for this particular mission?" Yukina however was highly surprised at this, never would she believe she'll see Darth Malgus acting so casual with someone.

Darth Malgus was happy to hear that he too wanted to get down to the specifics of the mission. "You are aware of Clan Varad?" Ceta's fist tighten, "what did those adenn hut'unns done now?" Jack raise his brow, Varad sounded familiar to him but he wasn't sure where. Darth Malgus figure this was the case, "Clan Varad has broken from the Mandalore's leadership and have declared a 'akaan'gaan', the search for battle." Jack was surprised to see Darth Malgus knew Mando'a.

Darth Yukina cross her arms. "After working with Jack the Reaper, I can see the Mandalorians are both a honorable people and great fighters, but what made Clan Varad break from the Mandalorian leadership?" Malavai wonder the same thing, loyalty was something the Mandalorians valor greatly, to see them go rogue like this was something else. "Which is why this 'insult' carry's weight." There was vemon in his voice, Jack figure Darth Malgus must held a lot of respect for Mandalorians.

Darth Malgus place his hands behind his back. "Clan Varad has began a several raids on Imperial and Republic worlds, slaughtering our soldiers and demanding tribute. Your mission is simple, kill the traitors, I have been able to get Mandalore to give the location of Clan Varad." Ceta narrow her eyes here, what he do get Mandalore to agree to that?

"Clan Varad has attacked the Empire and the Empire must answer, this is why you two are here. Jack you will be acting on the Mandalorians, Darth Yukina will be acting on Empire's behalf." Jack nods, having no problem with at. "She was happy to offer her help in fact since apparently she considers you a good friend of hers." this made Yukina happy that her skin was already red or Darth Malgus would have noticed her blushing face. However Darth Malgus noticed, he narrow his eyes, it would seem Jack was full of surprises.

"However there is a problem. We caught this message by Imperial Intelligence." Jack was very much surprised to see Satele Shan appearing, explaining how the Republic Warship, Allusis was being upgraded in Fonder Shipyward before Clan Varad had raided the shipyard and took Allusis, Darth Malgus reappeared. "Grand Master Satele Shan is currently sending a strike team of her own to try take back Allusis. You may be able get the team see reason, longest as there are no Jedi among them."

Jack had a feeling there was Jedi gonna be on board, he hoped it was Jedi supporting Satele Shan. "I want know the details regarding Allusis." said Darth Yukina, they need all the details they can get about that ship. "The battle cruiser is armed with heavy turbolasers and ion cannons, all manned by several hundred Mandalorian Commandos." That made Gault's eyes widen, "whoa whoa! several hundred Mandalorian Commandos? Jack, I hope you got something that can help us in odds like that."

Jack had to admit, this was gonna be a tough one, he liked this already. "Am sure we'll think of something Gault. Whose the leader of Clan Varad?" Jack needed to know whose the leader, Darth Malgus's image was replaced by a Mandalorian's. The Mandalorian was large man in red Mandalorian armor, the chest plate looked it came from a Havoc Squad soldier, his helmet was unique, making him look like he could strike fear in even strongest of men.

"This is Mavrix Varad, a highly skilled Mandalorian warrior, however he is consider brutal and bloodthirsty by you're people, to the point where he demands only the best of his Clan, only who do not live up to his interest, become target practice for younger clan members." Ceta narrow her eyes in fury, she remembered meeting on such young Mandalorian from that clan, Mavrix had broke his mind and turned him into a killing machine, not a warrior but a killer.

Darth Malgus then gave the final detail. "You are to bring his head back to me, Mandalore will be very much please to hear of his death, they have a violent history together."

Jack saw no problem in doing that and asked him for the energy signature of the ship so they could begin tracking the ship. Darth Malgus was happy to provide him with that and a detail schematic of the ship.

As he walked towards the exit he heard Darth Malgus say something that caught him and the others by surprise. "I get the feeling Jack that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Bring me back that head and that ship I will be waiting to hear of your success."

Jack turned around and clarified that the head was a optional. If he could recover it sure thing he would bring it, but the ship would back to the station without fail. He left and Yukina had to ask why did he have to say that.

"I have to be honest Yukina. I might not be able to get that guy's head if somehow during the battle he is burned to ashes now can I? The ship sure we can set the coordinates to the station on the navigation computer and ride the thing back for some serious maintenence, repair and specially cleaning."

As they made it back to the ship and entered it, Jack found that Vette and Mako were already talking with each other. "See what did I tell you. I knew Vette would find something to keep herself busy. Be sure to share those embarrassing stories about Jack later alright Vette. I could use a good laugh."

HK was the one thing Yukina was not expecting to see. She had seen many models of this particular Droid but never one as sociable as this one. He actually made extra cupcakes and gave them to the crew. "Explanatory Response : I felt that making these just for you and your meatbag Lover was simply not fair for the rest of the crew. I decided that they too must enjoy them so I made extra. I hope you are not offended Young Master."

Jack walked over to one of the trays and picked up a single cupcake and bite into it. This taste sure brought memories. "Not offended at all HK, I see you made a batch of the C-756 cupcakes. I always liked these you can hardly tell there is fifteen deadly poisons in it." Malavai place down his cupcake after hearing that, Gault and Shara were following his lead. HK was surprised that he actually knew that.

All of them looked at him with a rather confused look on their faces. Jack finished his cupcake. "Like I told my crew once HK made cupcakes for me with all sorts of poisons and toxins to help me build up a resistance to them. I can assure you those cupcakes are perfectly safe, as long as you don't reheat them. They tend to burst into flames if you do."

Jack he could still remember when he tried to reheat one in the battlefield camp on Dxun. One thing for sure it made lighting that camp fire a lot easier. In the end it was deadly if you ate too many of them in a single seating. Something that greedy gundark learned after he stole and ate a whole batch of them.

HK heads up to the cockpit, he started making the ship's way to the Imperial destroyers that would escort them to Allusis. "So what's the plan boss? we just storm in the Allusis and hope for the best?" Asked Gault, he was making sure his sniper rifle was ready for this, everyone else was doing the same thing with their weapons. Jack looks back at Gault, "The Imperial Destroyers will keep Allusis busy, I've been going over the ship data. There's a for us to get in."

Jack place up the data for all to see. "There's a a weak spot in Allusis's ship armor where we can use a boarding pod to piece in, luckily our ship has two of them, so we can get in that way." Darth Yukina saw no problems with that plan, "very well, we might as well get ready then." The others nodded. Something told Jack this will be getting very interesting.

000

It took some time before they had arrived to Allusis's location. Jack took HK and Shara in the first pod, while Darth Yukina took Malavai and Vette in the second. "Alright, wish us luck." Said Vette to Mako, she nodded to her and Jack's team, she hoped things will go alright here.

The Imperial Destroyers must have gotten Clan Varad's attention because they then started firing on them, letting Jack and the others shot their pods into the ship. They did not realized they killed two members of Clan Varad once they pieced the ship, the pods open up to let them out. "Alright, let's make our way to the bridge." Said Jack, the others nodded and started making their way there.

However their arrive didn't go unnoticed as a the intercom came up. "This is the chieftain of Clan Varad. Whoever you are, you challenge the wrong ship!" The voice was filled with menace, letting the others know that Mavtrix means business. "Well there goes stealth, guess we do this the old fashion way." Said Shara, taking out her sniper rifle.

HK looked excited. "Exciting Response: Oh this should be fun." Malavai roll his eyes, who would have thought he be working with a bloodthirsty droid of all things. They press on to the bridge, however coming out of the elevator were several armed men with vibroswords. One thing that got Jack's attention, was that they weren't wearing Mandalorian armor. "What the hell?" The Clan Varad warriors gave out a battle cry and charged at them.

Jack began by sending a Shockwave of force energy at them and when they lost their balance he began to open fire killing several of them as he blasted their heads apart. HK was using his blaster rifle and Shara was killing the ones that began to run away with her sniper rifle.

" Looks like Gault had nothing to worry about from Dar'manda scum like these. You were worried for nothing. We will take care of these scum and be back before our dinner is ready. The thing that made me angry is that no mandalorian would wear this kind of armor it simply in not beskar. They truly have abandoned the old code."

Shara looked at the head warriors. "I don't know, something tells me we'll about to get some surprises."

As Yukina saw her opportunity, she too did something unexpected. She and her group slaughtered the enemy and if people compared they way both groups did it. Jack was by far more merciful than Yukina's. She didn't only kill them she cooked them while alive with force lightning. It was quite the frightening sight to see her roast them like that.

"Wow, Yukina is on a role." Said Vette, she blasts at a odd looking kath hound, Malavai helps Shara with the two large Mandalorian battle droids, using some cover to shield them.

HK was not having a hard time at all, in fact he looked like a kid at a toy store. He couldn't even hide the glee he was having killing one enemy after another. Shara was also sniping one target after another but in contrast with those in her group she made their death as quick and painless as possible. "Is you're Sith boss always like that?" asks Shara to Malavai, she never really worked with Sith before.

Malavai thought about it for a moment, before shrugging. "Only if she get's excited." Shara raises her brow, she shoots one of Clan Varad's warriors down.

Jack and the others went into what looked like the medical bay, standing there was a Mandalorian in green and red armor, wielding a blaster rifle. "Oh so now their wearing beskar armor." Said Yukina. The clan Varad warrior looked at their direction, he points his blaster rifle at them, "Attack!" He and other Varad warriors charge forward.

Jack meets head on with the armored warrior while the others deal with other warriors. The armored Varad warrior attempts to blast Jack, however Jack dodges the shots and moves in to slice him with his lightsaber, the warrior dodges the slice, grabs Jack's wrist, pulling him back, he attempts to blast Jack, but he uses the force to push him into the wall. Before the Mandalorian could get up, Jack blasts him in the visor.

"Looks like that's one of their commandos." Said Jack, Yukina looks up ahead. "Come on, we still got some fighting to do." Jack nods, the two lead their companions up ahead.

000

"Damnit! how many warriors they got on this freaking ship!" Yelled Vette as she was force to duck from a vibrosword, she blasts the warrior. So far they hadn't had too many problems, but they were quite a lot of warriors and battle droids they had to deal with. Jack finishes off the last one, before looking at a lift nearby. "Well we might as well keep going, no one said this would be easy."

Jack went to the lift and saw that Clan Varad even had the nerve of placing a bomb inside the lift control console. He had to warn the others. He touched the communicator and connected with Yukina. "Yukina better have Shara look at the lift console before you use it. They placed explosives in the lift console."

It was quite funny because she was about to tell him the exact same thing about the bombs when he said it. "I was going to tell you that Shara found on and that the detonator was a pressure detonator placed behind the keypad, but I guess you already knew that. Thanks for telling, I will see you after we take control of the engineering floor. This should give us some degree of control."

Jack told her he was going to the armory and possibly sabotage some of their weapons just in case some stupid dar'manda decided to restock or change their weapons load out. As they got on the lift and pushed the buttons for the deck where the command center was, Jack heard a small explosion coming from below.

As he got off the lift, Jack saw a large man in what looked like Trandoshan armor surrounded with more of those odd Kath hounds. "So I gather you are the second in command. Jack Keldau Organa of Clan Keldau. I am here to kill you miserable dar'manda and your leader. When that is done I am taking back this ship. Do you have anything to say for yourself before you die."

The man snorted, taking out his large vibrosword. "I should ask the same thing to you. Besides, am still living one of our traditions, improving ourselves with great challenge, that stupid treaty however made fighting almost no way. So you can say we decide take matters into our own hands."

Jack held out three fingers to him, and he began to look very serious, he was disgusted. "So you're doing this for you're own blood lust? you people are starting sound more like Iridonians then Mandalorians, hell you're not even wearing beskar."

For a second, the man looked like he got hit over the head with a sledgehammer. He recovered quickly enough when he saw Jack pull out his lightsaber and looked like he was going to cause him severe pain.

Just as Jack rushed him, the salky hounds tried to protect their master, he chopped one of them in half as the rest of the group and the other showed up on the lift right next to the one they used. "Remind me not to get on your bad side." Yukina said as she came to stand next to Jack. She cut down a hound that was trying to sneak up on him.

"Hope the explosives I set up didn't cause any problems." Jack said to her as he killed another hound that was going to jump her. Yukina could swear this was almost like they were dancing together.

"Actually you saved me the trouble of dealing with a group of idiots. They tried grabbing a rocket launcher when suddenly the weapon overloaded and it and every other launcher blew up killing them. It was rather funny to see truth be told."

As the two took care of the hounds, the man became more and more angry as he saw his hounds be butchered like that. When he simply could not contain his anger any longer he rushed them and with a they turned around they both gave a across his body making an x cut pattern on his body.

Slowly his dead body fell to pieces as the others killed the last of the troops that had arrived from nearby corridors as his back up. "Now the only thing left is killing their leader, picking up his severed head and setting course back to the station." Jack said as he turned off his lightsaber and placed it back in the holster on his waist. But that was when Mavrix began speaking on the intercom.

"You're good, the stories about you Jack were true. But you're the only Mandalorian here, that faker can try all she want, but she's gonna need to do more then wear beskar. The harder you hit us! the tougher we get." He cuts off from there, Shara was glaring all the while at the intercom, "his dead." There was a very cold tone she used there. Jack almost felt sorry for Mavrix.

The others looked at the dead beast and even Malavai could not help feel pity for the hounds. Well all except for HK who was so happy to see Jack fight like that he was humming a happy tune as they travel further into the ship.

For most part of the fighting, it was just them having fight through droids, kath hounds, and couple warriors. However they finally came to a large room, standing at the far end were three armored Mandalorians with a giant battle droid behind them. "Okay, that's a big droid." Said Malavai, they were gonna need lot of skill here. "Battle Team Royal! get into position, cut down those scum!" Yelled Mavrix through the intercom.

Shara was very much wanting blast that intercom. But before the Clan Varad warriors could do anything, they were suddenly killed when a boarding pod hit where they were at. "Disappointment Response: Oh, I was hoping to kill them." Vette shoots HK a look, "you want kill everything HK." HK turns to her, he didn't look upset. "I know, which is why I am very much wanting kill you blue meatbag."

Vette took a couple steps away from him. Coming out of the board pod was a Republic trooper, two Jedi, and a Twi'lek in light combat, he looked like a smuggler, they quickly noticed the other group. "Keenor, that him?" Asked the Twi'lek, he looked at Jack's group, he winks at the ladies among the group, making one of the Jedi bump her elbow into his gut.

"Yep that's him alright. Jack the Reaper, we are strike team Grand Master Satele sent. She had a feeling you would come, though we did not count her to be here as well." The male human Republic points to Yukina, she noticed the glares from the Jedi, no surprise there, "she requested we would ask your help in this, you agree to this?" Asked the male Jedi, he however looked ready to fight if things go bad.

Jack shares a look with Yukina, she shrugs. "Alright, I accept, could use all the help we can get." The Jedi nods, he was happy at least this went well, however Mavrix was very disappointed. "Oh come on! no fighting? you disgust me! Here I was hoping for a decent fight." He cuts off from there, now Jack was pissed.

"Okay, am gonna kill him." The Republic Strike Team looked at each other, this guy use to be a Jedi Master? he seemed a little... on the darker side.

000

"To the right Shara!" Yelled the Twi'lek smuggler, now identify as Taklan, Shara quickly rolls out of the way from a red and white armored Mandalorian's flamethrower, Taklan quickly blasts him, Shara nods to Taklan. "Thanks for the warning." Taklan grins, "anytime hot stuff." Shara rolls her eyes.

They been fighting through Clan Varad's warriors, they were now fighting through their commandos. It's been hard but they were able make it through, the help from the Republic strike team has helped, even though Yukina and the Jedi were almost to killing each other. The female Jedi, Ezeraline suddenly see's a window nearby, making out figures in it.

"What's going on over there?" Jack stabs through one of the commando's neck, killing him. He turns to look where Ezeraline was looking at, he walked over to what was going on, he looks to see couple dozen Clan Varad engineers in work with about five of Clan Varad's commandos inside. Jack quickly went to the lockdown mode, trapping them inside.

"That takes care of that. Let's head to Mavrix now." The others nodded and were about to head to the command sector, however before they could, they hear a door front of them opening. "Sorry, but that's only gonna be you Reaper." Coming out of the door were about a dozen more warriors from Clan Varad, all either wearing different color Mandalorian armor or custom made armor.

Leading them was a tall Mandalorian in custom made black and red armor, his helmet being a Republic scout's, but a blue visor. He was holding two very large vibroswords. "What you mean only Jack." Said Yukina, she wasn't liking this. The Mandalorian gives her an unimpressive look, "What I mean the clan leader only wants fight him, the Reaper has gain his interest. You and you're friends however will be fighting me, it's been a long while since I had the pleasure of killing a force user." His men and women had a laugh at that.

Yukina looked ready to kill him there, but Jack stops her. "Hold on, it'll be alright, I'll accept the challenge. You guys can take this dar'manda." Gil glared at Jack for that. Yukina looked unsure, so did the others, but eventually they nodded, "Alright, go kick that bastard's ass, we'll give these guys hell." Said Keenor, he reloads a round into his blaster rifle.

Jack walks to where Mavrix will be waiting for him, passing Gil and his warriors, he ignore the glares from them, he was only concern about defeating Mavrix Varad. He finally came across to a door, he step forward, he found his target. "So you accepted afterall, I guess you're really are a Mandalorian." Standing there was Mavrix Varad in full glory, wielding a blaster pistol in hand.

The two began circling each other once Jack stepped into the room. "More Mandalorian then you, I aren't some wild animal who couldn't keep his blood lust in check." Mavrix snorted, "you sound just like that softer Mandalore, Artus. That whole situation with Clan Cadera made him soft, I made my clan into one of the most feared Mandalorians in the galaxy! I show the aruetycs what we'll made of!"

Jack ready his lightsaber, taking out his blaster pistol. "So, you have any last words Reaper?" Taunted Mavrix, he was getting very excited, his heart racing, it's been a very long time since he had a foe that got his excitement like this. "Yeah, you ready go to hell?" Jack gets into his fighting stance, Mavrix laughed, "only if you're willing join me to there."

For a moment, they just stood in their fighting stance, they could make out sounds of battle of Gil and his warriors fighting Jack's companions. Mavrix finally made the first move. "OYA!" He gives out a Mandalorian battle cry, he fires his blaster pistol at Jack, forcing him to block the attacks with his lightsaber, Mavrix uses his jetpack to charge in on Jack.

Mavrix throws punches to Jack, dodging a swing from his lightsaber, he tries blast Jack but he force pushes him away, forcing Mavrix go on defense. He starts firing rockets at him, forcing Jack to throw some of the rockets away with the force, but one of the rockets caught him, sending him flying, Jack wince in pain, though his armor protected him, it still hurt.

"What's the matter? getting tried, ha!" Mavrix charges at Jack, he quickly rolls up to defend himself, blocking blaster fire, Mavrix suddenly uses his flamethrower, forcing Jack to use his jetpack to get away, Mavrix active some turrets nearby. "Sorry, but air is off limits for ya!" The turrets fire on Jack, forcing him to block and fire at the turrets, but he was knocked to the ground by Mavrix who rammed into him with his jetpack.

Jack threw him off when they hit the ground, he blasted Mavrix, hitting him in chest and shoulder guard. "Damnit!" Mavrix felt that, not enough keep him done though. Jack charges in, blocking blaster shots from Mavrix. He thrusts forward his lightsaber, however Mavrix side steps, throwing Jack over his shoulder, Jack's lightsaber fell out of his hand there.

Mavrix attempts to shoot Jack, but he kicks him right in the face. "Ogh!" grunted Mavrix, his helmet was knocked off, reveling a heavily scared tanned skin man, he was bald, his brown eyes were filled with anger. Jack uses the force push him away, before Mavrix knew it, Jack shot his neck open, however that didn't slow him down. Mavrix as if gone mad, charges at Jack, firing his blaster pistol and everything he had on him.

"Die scum!" Jack kept firing his blaster, hitting Mavrix, but it just seem make him more angry. 'Damn what is he made of?' Thought Jack, he finally uses his rocket launcher for this. The rocket hits Mavrix, sending him flying, hitting the ground hard. Jack let a sigh of relive, he walks over to Mavrix, finding him bleeding heavily from his neck and mouth, he could tell he was dying.

But Mavrix didn't look worry at all, he simply started laughing. "This is a good death! I'll see you in hell Jack the Reaper!" With that final breath, his head hit the floor with a thud, he was dead. Jack looked to where the terminal was at, he figure that's where the data was at. "Glad that's finally over." He heads over to it, hoping to find data on this ship.

Might as well get something for Darth Malgus.
