Chapter 3
"I'm starting to regret taking this bounty," Jango said to himself as he left Port Pixelito, on Malastare.
He had followed his quarry half way around Malastare and was now getting close to catching it, or so he thought, as he activated his ship's sensor mask.
Using the military class sensors on his Firespray-Class ship, he probed the space surrounding the planet trying to find where his prey was hiding, because there was no way that ship was ready for hyperspace in such a short time.
He had seen the enemy's ship while it was on the ground- it looked custom built, but it had no weapons and it didn't have a fast enough computer to make any hyperspace calculations in the short time it had been off the ground.
Although his target seemed to have no weapons, he was still challenging. He was highly skilled in the art of running and hiding.
Because of his bounty's stealthy nature, Fett was taking no chances. His sensors told him that the ship he was looking for was not in orbit, but Jango decided to take a few quick runs around the planet and its moon to look for the ship- with his eyes.
After two orbits of the planet, Jango was about to set course for the far side of the moon, when he saw it. The small, black ship was above the northern polar region of the planet, just sitting there.
"Damn, he's smart," Jango muttered.
"He won't even see me coming- poor sucker," he laughed to himself as he approached the other ship.
Just as his weapon got a lock on the ship it started to move. It was heading for the moon!
"How did he see me?!" he shouted, checking the sensor mask.
He set off in pursuit of the small craft as it sped towards the moon. What Fett didn't know, was that the ship was on auto pilot and he hadn't been seen.
As he steered his ship round the moon, he was surprised when he did not see his target. He accelerated to top speed (which was higher than his targets, according to his sensors), went the whole way around the moon, just in case it had gone round again, and he also probed the surface of the giant rock.
The ship was not on the moon and there was nowhere else to hide. The surface of the moon was normal rock so it did not interfere with the sensors, and the moon had little, or no, magnetic field.
"No way has it gone into hyperspace that quickly," he was thinking to himself, when his sensors picked up something.
It was a trail of charged particles, exactly the type emitted by his prey's sub-light engines, but the trail just stopped. The only explanation for this was that the ship had gone into hyperspace.
He didn't think that it was possible, but it had to be. He set the computer to calculate the most likely trajectory of the ship from its last known position and heading.
He would catch this Maul person, whoever he was!
"No one out-smarts Jango Fett" he said as his ship made the jump to hyperspace; they were heading for Bestine, where he would get his bounty!
A/N Now that I have introduced the main characters, the story should start to take shape so bare with me.
this chapter is for Sweatdeath04 'cause she loves Jango!
