Disclaimer: I don't own anything this is just a story for fun.

At a bar in Goza City, Valerie, Tucker, and Wulf were hanging out. Tucker told Valerie that Johnny, Kitty, and Shadow had been found on the island after the hunt and had been offered a place in the Rebels. The three had accepted the offer and were now members of the Rebellion. Valerie was happy for Johnny, Kitty, and Shadow.

"So we have to know, were you born a Mandalorian or were you adopted into a clan?" Asked Tucker.

"Adopted." Said Valerie before she went more into her back story.

Planet Casper farming village 7 years ago

Seven year old Valerie had just finished up her chores and fixing to wash up for dinner, when she heard a loud roaring sound and saw a odd assortment of ships descend from the sky and land at the edge of the village. Valerie watched as a dozen men from the village approached the ships and saw a few of them had blasters. The doors of the ships opened and several men and aliens walked carrying blasters and swords. Valerie did not like the looks of these strangers and neither did the farmers.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Asked one farmer.

"Just a tired group of travelers looking to refuel on supplies." Said a man with a big scar on his face.

"Alright take what you need and be on your way." Said the farmer.

"Well you see we want everything and more." Said the man with the scar as he and his companions raised their blasters.

Before any of the farmers could do anything the strangers began to fire their weapons and took most of the men down. Valerie screamed in fear and ran from the scene as the invaders began to attack the rest of the village, killing people, and blowing buildings up with missiles and bombs. Valerie made it to a shed and hid inside it as the carnage went on. The chaos seemed to go on forever as Valerie heard screams and explosions. After awhile the noise died down. Valerie thought it was and that the invaders had left, but then she heard the sounds of approaching boots outside and the door of the shed was thrown up. The little girl blinked her eyes as light poured in and the man with the scar on his face appeared and pulled her out of the shed.

"Look what we have here!" Said the man as he dragged Valerie towards the ships and shoved her to the ground next to some other farmers.

Valerie saw that most of the village was in ruins and there only seemed to be a few people left alive. A few of the invaders inspected the captives.

"Not a bad haul. These people will fetch a nice price at the slave market." Said one of the invaders.

Valerie felt herself tremble in fear as she began to cry, which only made the invaders laugh. It was then that the air was filled with a new roaring sound that seemed to be coming from the sky. The invaders and their captives looked up to see two dozen armored men and women flying towards the village on jetpacks.

"Mandalorians!" Yelled one of the invaders in fear.

The invaders quickly tried to go on the defensive, but the Mandalorians proved themselves to be far more dangerous and efficient when it came to combat. The Mandalorians expertly flew around and dodged the invaders' attempts to shoot them down and returned fire killing several of the invaders in seconds. Valerie just stared at the Mandalorians in amazement and let out a little yelp as one invader dropped dead a few feet from her. She saw a blaster that had been dropped by the dead invader and picked it up. Valerie felt a arm grab her and spin her around to face the invader with a scar on his face. The man leered at her and planned to escape the chaos with his little captive. Valerie lifted the blaster up and pulls the trigger.

The man with the scar looked down in shock to see a burning hole in his chest, before he let out a gasp and fell onto his back dead. Valerie just looked at what she did stunned.

The battle was soon over and the Mandalorians tended to the wounded villagers. One Mandalorian man approached Valerie and looked at the man she had killed.

"Don't feel bad about him. He was a terrible man with a long and dark history. You probably saved a ton of lives by ending his." Said the Mandalorian.

Valerie turned to face the Mandalorian.

"I...want to be strong. I...want to be like you. Take me with you and teach me." Said Valerie.

The Mandalorian looked at Valerie and saw a fire in her eyes that he liked.

"Very well." Said the Mandalorian.

The present.

Tucker and Wulf stared at Valerie in shock.

"I'm so sorry for what happened you." Said Tucker.

"It's ok. I made peace with it. If that had never happened I wouldn't be here right now." Said Valerie.

"I guess." Said Tucker.

"So how did you and Wulf meet?" Asked Valerie.

"I ended up rescuing Wulf from some crazy Imperial Official." Said Tucker.

Planet Goza downtown three years ago

Tucker stood outside a mansion owned by a Imperial Official named Winston Dunsworth. His mission was to enter the mansion, hack the computers, and steal some files. Tucker grunted as he scaled the gate and enter the mansion from the back. He walked down a hallway, when he heard the sound of approaching boots and he ducked into a door that lead into the basement. Tucker found himself in what appeared to be a dungeon with some large boxes. The doors opened and Tucker quickly ducked behind a box as Winston and a few Stormtroopers entered the dungeon.

Winston was a tall man with glasses and short red hair. He and the Stormtroopers went over to a cell that held a Shistavanen with a metal shock collar on. The alien growled at Winston. The officer just smiled.

"Oh you are a fierce one. I'm going to enjoy hunting you. Bullet really knows how to deliver." Said Winston with a chuckle.

Winston and his guards turned and left the dungeon. Tucker felt disgusted by what he just heard. He looked at the caged Shistavanen and decided he was going to free the captive alien. Tucker took a deep breath and stepped out from his hiding spot. The Shistavanen saw Tucker and growled at him. Tucker raised his hands in a peaceful manner.

"Hey relax. I'm here to help you." Said Tucker as he approached the cell and pulled out some lock picks.

He went over to the locks and picked them. The cell door opened and the Shistavanen stepped out and looked down at Tucker. Tucker motioned for Wulf to bend down, so he could get at the shock collar. Wulf did this and the collar was removed. The Shistavanen touched and rubbed his neck and Tucker gave him a little smile.

"You're free now. Get out of here." Said Tucker before he turned and left the dungeon.

Tucker went down a hallway and located a room with a computer. He sat at it and began to hack it. He was just about done, when Winston and a couple of his guards entered the room and pointed their blasters at him.

"Looks like we caught ourselves a rat." Sneered Winston.

Tucker raised his hands in surrender, but before anything could happen the Shistavanen charged in onto the scene and knocked the guards to the side before he picked up a freaked out Winston and threw him at some more Stormtroopers trying to enter the room. The Shistavanen then picked Tucker up and ran out of the mansion. He scaled the fence and ran a few hundred yards before stopping and set Tucker on the ground.

"Thanks for the save friend." Said Tucker as he smiled at his rescuer.

"Friend." Said the Shistavanen.

"I'm Tucker. What's your name?"

"Wulf."

"Well Wulf I think this is the start of a great friendship. You want to come with me?" Said Tucker.

Wulf just smiled and nodded.

The present.

"So I guess the two of you saved each other that day." Said Valerie.

"Yep and we've been friends who watch each other's back since then." Said Tucker.

"Friends." Said Wulf with as he raised his glass for a toast.

The three of them clicked glasses and went about enjoying each other's company.

To be continued.
