Hey, guys! Welcome to the new chapter of The Mandalorian: The Chronicles of Lun 10- Original Series Season 1, and I hope that you will enjoy it...anyway, I don't own anything, except for my OCs.
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
Jumping out of Hyperspace, the Razor Crest warped in near the large planet of Nevarro as we zoom into the ship and see a stoic Mandalorian sitting on the cockpit as a sleeping Luna laid behind him on the passenger seat while a now fully woken up Jelal sat beside her on his crib as he had finally woke up from his mini-coma and rubbed his eyes as Jelal looks around tiredly. After spotting his human friend sleeping beside him, Jelal cooed excitedly as the little green-skinned alien stood up and carefully climbed out of his crib as Jelal landed on the floor with a soft grunt and quickly made his way over to his sleeping human friend as he grabbed onto her cloth and started tugging on it while making soft, cute, gurgling sounds.
"Mmm," Luna grumbles groggily, not wanting to wake up from the first real sleep that she had in a couple of months as Jelal frowned and tugged harder on her makeshift dress as Luna groaned softly and slowly opened her eyes as she sits up straight. "Huh? What's going on?" Luna asked while yawning as she looks down and was surprised to see Jelal standing below her as he glanced up at her with a smile on his face as Luna smiled back. "Oh, hello, Jelal, finally waken up, huh? How are you feeling? Are you experiencing any kind of pain or something?" Luna asked worriedly as Jelal smiled again and made a few cooing sounds as he then reached out his little arms for her. "Aww, you just want a hug, don't you, sweetie? Come here." Luna says as she was about to reach down to hug Jelal but then stopped at the sight of a pair of thick cuffs covering her arms as Luna's eyes widen in shock. "Huh!? What are these? What's going on?!"
"You two are finally awake? Good." Mando says, alerting Luna and Jelal of his presence, as Din started steering the Razor Crest towards Nevarro.
"Huh? Mando? What's going on? Why am I in these cuffs?" Luna asked as Mando didn't say anything, and the little girl frowned in annoyance at his silence as she was about to speak up, but then the Mandalorian's communication system on his ship started beeping as a hologram of a man popped out in front of them. The man is 6'1-feet-tall, 52-years-old male with brown eyes, short black hair, a big nose, a black mustache with a sharp chin, dark brown skin, a slim-toned build, and wears a long brown trench coat with an orange shirt underneath, black gloves, a brown sash, a gun holster with a black blaster placed on it, brown pants and black boots. His name is Greef Karga, leader of the Bounty Hunter's Guild on Nevarro.
"Mando! I received your transmission. Wonderful news. Upon your return, deliver the quarries directly to the clients."
"Clients?" Din asked himself confusedly, remembering only being employed by one client as Luna's eyes widen in shock/disbelief, realizing why she was handcuffed as Luna started trembling in anger and tightened her fists as she glared at the Mandalorian. Jelal was oblivious to his friend's anger as he spotted a small shiny knob placed on a lever and smiled as he started crawling over to the lever.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you that the client who I sent you to collect the asset had a partner working with him. He was the one who wanted to hire you to collect the watch. I think his name is Physon or whatever." Greef Karga says absentmindedly as Mando nods in understatement while Luna's anger temporarily dissipates as the young girl sighs in relief. Although she was still mad at Din for trying to hand her and Jelal over to the clients, Luna was grateful that she wasn't being handed over to...him. "Anyway, it's best if you go down here and deliver the assets as fast as you can because the clients are getting antsy. Safe passage. You know where to find me." Greef Karga says before shutting off the call as his hologram disappeared.
"So, that's why you have me in cuffs, huh? Because you're going to hand me and Jelal over to the Empire?" Luna asked angrily from her passenger seat as Jelal managed to reach over to the lever and unscrewed the knob as he started chewing on it.
"Yes," Din answered coldly as Luna furrowed her eyebrows in anger and glared at her kidnapper/savior.
"But I thought that you would-,"
"That I would do what?" Din asked sharply as Luna's anger simmered down and was replaced by nervousness as she rubbed her neck awkwardly and looked away anxiously.
"Well, I-I thought that if I help you get your ship parts back and help you fix your ship, you would've let me and Jelal go," Luna says sheepishly as Mando stayed silent for a few seconds before turning to Luna as he gave her a serious look...although she can't see it due to his helmet covering his face.
"I owe you nothing. I didn't ask you to help me get my ship parts back. I didn't ask you to fix up the Razor Crest. You did it all on your own accord. While I am thankful for your help, it doesn't erase the fact that I was hired to capture and hand over you two to the clients. No amount of pleading or kissing up will change that." Din says while turning back around to fly his ship as Luna felt hurt by his words and pouted as she looks down sadly.
"I-I wasn't trying to kiss up to you so that you will free us. I was just trying to help out."
"Well, why don't you help me out by being a good little bounty and stay quiet while I hand you guys over to the clients," Din says as Luna grew angry at what Din said and lies against her chair as she huffs.
"I thought you were different from all of the other bounty hunters that I've met, Mando, but I now see that you're just like all of the rest, selfish bastards that only care about the money," Luna growled out as Mando felt guilty about what she said, but didn't say anything as he spotted Jelal chewing on his knob and carefully takes it away from him.
"It's not a toy," Din says scoldingly while grabbing onto Jelal by the back of his robe as he places him back in his crib and Jelal let out a small whine of sadness at having his shiny ball taken away as Luna glared at this, but didn't say anything as the Razor Crest started breaching Nevarro's atmosphere.
Thirty minutes later, we see the Razor Crest flying through the sky as it arrived at a local town located on a large barren wasteland and lands near the entrance of a small city as the doors open, and a small walkway popped out underneath as the trio appeared. Luna furrowed her eyebrows in annoyance/frustration as the little girl was once again being tugged along on a leash by Din as a stoic Mandalorian made his way over to the town and forced a reluctant Luna to follow after him as Jelal floated beside her on his space pod. Entering the city, Luna and Jelal looked around their new environment curiously/uneasily as the kids saw all sorts of Mercenaries roaming around them that consisted of Humans, Droids, Twi'lek, Appoplexian, Piscciss Volann, Trandshan, Loboan, Jawas, Tetramand, etc.
Once the alien Mercenaries spotted a young human girl and what seems to be a green goblin following after the Mandalorian, they all stopped what they were doing to stare at the children curiously as Luna shrank back their gazes nervously, and the young child unintentionally moved closer to the Mandalorian. Din noticed the young girl hiding behind him but didn't say anything as the trio walks through the town before arriving at the building where the clients were located as the Mandalorian knocked on the door, and an entry sensor pops out as it made a few noises and Din was quick to show his chit card. The entry sensor beeped as it granted Din access to come inside, and the doors opened as the kids shared a scared look, and the young Omnitrix Wielder took a couple of steps back as two Stormtroopers walked out of the building, and they turned to eye a nervous-looking Luna and Jelal stoically before turning to the Mandalorian as the Stormtroopers nodded to him, and Din nodded back as the group walked inside of the building.
"Mando, please, you can't do this," Luna says while walking down the hall with the boys as the Stormtroopers looked visibly annoyed by the human girl's pleading. "You have seen what we could do, Mando. You have no idea the horror they could do the universe if they get a hand on us. Please stop this and set us free." Luna says to Din worriedly, pleading for him to set her and Jelal free as Mando sighs and was about to say something when suddenly one of the Stormtroopers snatches Luna's leash from out of Din's hands and glared at Luna.
"Stop talking and keep moving." The Stormtrooper says commandingly as he forcefully tugged Luna forwards to follow after him as she yelped and nearly lost her balance as she accidentally crashes against the other Stormtrooper.
"Watch it!" The Stormtrooper hisses while shoving her away harshly as Luna collided against a wall and fell down with a moan as she held onto her arm in pain.
"I said, move it!" The Stormtrooper demanded while tugging on her leash as Luna frowned at him but obediently followed after him as Din felt his blood boil in anger at the sight of this.
"Hey! Be careful with her!" Mando commanded as the Stormtroopers turned to him and rolled their eyes at him.
"You be careful, Mandalorian." One of the Stormtroopers says threateningly.
"Yeah, what do you care about what we do to the assets anyway?" The other Stormtrooper asked as Mando gritted his teeth in anger but didn't say anything as the group entered a room and saw an old man sitting behind a table with a tracking fob placed in his hand as a young scientist stood beside him.
The old man is 5'5-feet-tall, 80-year-old male with light blue eyes, white hair with a bald spot, a big nose, a sharp chin, light skin, a weak frail build, and his outfit consists of a black trenchcoat with a red sweater underneath, a brown cape that goes down to his knees, black pants, and black shoes. His name is The Client.
The young scientist is a 5'8-feet-tall, 25-year-old man with short black hair, black eyes, a big nose, a black beard with a sharp chin, Tan skin, a slender build, and wears a grey-collard buttoned-up shirt with grey pants and black shoes. His name is Pershing.
"Yes. Yes, yes, yes." The Client says delightedly while making his way over to Jelal with Pershing following after him as they both started to inspect Jelal.
"Hey, stop bothering him, assholes!" Luna says with a firm glare after seeing the duo poking and prodding a squirming and whimpering Jelal as the young girl was about to march over to them, but was stopped by the Stormtroopers as they harshly grabbed onto her shoulders and forced her to stand still as Luna whimpered in pain from their tight grips and Din clenched his fists tightly at the sight of the kids being hurt as he growled lightly.
"Very healthy. Yes." Pershing says to the Client while using a scanner to scan Jelal's body as the Client smirked in approval and nods as he turned towards Din.
"Your reputation was not unwarranted." The Client says as Mando ignored his compliment and walked over to them to ask them a question that Din had in mind for a couple of days.
"How many fobs did you give out?" Din asked, remembering about the Mercenaries that tried to kill him and collect the bounties, as The Client sighed and placed his hand on Jelal's space pod as Din and Luna flinched at this, but didn't do anything as he gave the experienced Mandalorian a serious look.
"One of these assets is of extreme importance to me. I had to ensure its delivery." The Client says while making his way back to the table as he sat down, and Pershing quickly followed after him as he obediently stood beside his boss.
"As for the other asset, I personally don't have any plans for her, but my partner sure does." The Client says just as the doors opened as everyone turned around and saw a large white humanoid alien walking into the room as his red eyes zoned into Luna and looked her over as he narrowed his eyes at the nervous-looking kid.
The alien is a 6-feet-tall, thousand-year-old male with a skeletal appearance as he has black eyes with red pupils, a head fin that was outlined with three black stripes, crooked yellow teeth, four-fingered hands, chalky white skin, a slender frail build, and his outfit consists of a sleeveless black robe with brace-like armor as he has red bars planted on his chest, fingerless black gauntlets with a couple of buttons on it, and black shoes. His name is Psyphon, loyal servant and right-hand man to Vilgax the Conqueror.
"Ah, I see that you've captured the asset for me, Mandalorian," Psyphon says while walking over to Luna as he bends down and pulled out some kind of scanner with a blue hourglass symbol plastered onto it as he used it to scan Luna's cuffs and grinned sinisterly as he received a positive beep. "I give you my undying thanks, Mandalorian. You have no idea how long my Master had wanted to get his hands on her." Psyphon says while patting her head roughly as Luna growled at him in anger and smacked his hand away as Physphon glared at her, but didn't do anything to her as Luna crossed her arms and glared at him back definitely.
"Master?" Din asked while giving him a questioning look as Physphon nodded and walked over to Luna as Pysphon placed his arms on her shoulders and gave the Stormtroopers as if saying, 'Back off, your services are no longer required'. The Stormtroopers raised an eyebrow at him before shrugging as one of the Stormtroopers let go of Luna's leash and turned around as they walked out of the room.
"Yes, he was the one who partnered up with the Client to hire you to capture the Omni-I mean, the watch that's strapped around the little girl's wrist," Pysphon says as Luna felt uncomfortable under his grasp and tried to move away, but Physphon seemed stronger than he looks as he easily held the little girl in place and tightened his grip on her shoulders as if saying, 'Don't even think of running away, you little brat' as Luna yelped and whimpered in pain as Din flinched at this but didn't do anything else as he let Physphon continue talking. "Originally, he wanted to come himself, but he had other business to attend to."
"Yes, true, anyway, now that we're both here, it's time to give the Mandalorian his payment." The Client says as Physphon rolled his eyes but nodded as the group walked over to the table, and The Client lifts a camtono from underneath the table and placed it on the table. "Here's half of your reward, Mandalorian." The Client says while opening the camtono, revealing a large stack of Beskar ingots as Mando approaches it stoically and takes a couple of ingots to inspect them.
"And, here's the other half of your reward," Physphon says while pressing a couple of buttons on his wrist as he teleported another large stack of Beskar ingots onto the table.
"Such large bounties for a couple of small packages, don't you think?" The Client asked rhetorically as the young Omnitrix Wielder was about to make a sarcastic remark when suddenly Luna yelped in surprise as Physphon grabbed onto her shirt and roughly dragged her away as they were about to leave, but was stopped by the Mandalorian.
"Wait! What are you going to do with her?" Mando asked worriedly as Physphon slowly turned to him with a sadistic glint in his eye.
"Oh, don't worry. My Master has no plans for the little girl, only her watch. Once he takes it off, my Master will happily let the little girl free, you have my word." Physphon says, but Din didn't feel reassured by his words at all as Luna looked over at the Mandalorian worriedly.
"Mando, please, disable my cuffs! Set me free, or else Physphon will have his Master-Mmm!" Luna pleaded before being muffled by an annoyed Physphon as he forcefully dragged her out of the room. Mando watched her go with a guilty look on his face as he felt the urge to run up to her and save her from the clutches of the alien lackey but stopped as he noticed Dr. Pershing grabbing onto Jelal's floating crib and dragging him into the next room. But right before they disappeared, though, Jelal turned to Mando and let out a soft cry as he gave him a pleading look as if saying, 'Please save me and my friend from our captures.' before being pulled into the other room as the doors closed behind them.
"My, my, Mandalorian, asking questions, huh? How uncharacteristic of one of your reputation." The Client says to the Mandalorian as Din ignored his insult and turned to him with a small glare.
"What are your plans for the Child?" Mando asked concernedly as The Client narrowed his eyes at him and subtly summoned his Stormtroopers as they slowly entered the room and surrounded the Mandalorian as he eyed them apprehensively.
"Why so curious, Mandalorian? You have already taken both commission and payment. Isn't that enough for you? Is it not the code of the guild that these events are now forgotten? That Beskar is enough to make a handsome replacement for your armor. Unfortunately, finding a Mandalorian in these trying times is more difficult than finding steel." The Client says, reminding Din of his Creed's practical extinction as Mando stared at the old man stoically before placing his two stacks of Beskar ingots onto the camtono and closing it up as he grabbed it and walked away.
Exiting the building, Din sighed heavily as he was about to make his way over to the Covert, but stopped as Mando noticed a squirming Luna being dragged away by an annoyed Psyphon as Luna grunted in effort and tried to break free from his grip, but failed as Physphon easily held her down with his one hand before using his other hand to pull out a taser as he then stuck it into her neck and started electrocuting her body. Luna screamed in pain as she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth as she struggled to stay conscious, but failed as she promptly went limp into his arms, and a disgusted Psyphon carelessly dropped her onto the floor as he grabbed her by her arm and started pulling her towards the direction of his ship, which was oddly shaped like a giant red/orange beetle, as Luna's unconscious body dragged across the ground.
Din felt his blood boil in anger at the sight of this as he was almost tempted to go after the white-skinned alien and save Luna, but Din then stopped as he remembers his Guild's code and hesitated as he took one last look at Psyphon and the unconscious Luna, who disappeared into the crowd as Mando sighs and shakes his head as he walked off. Making his way through the town with the camtono held tightly in his hand, Din discreetly made his way over down a set of underground tunnels as he entered the Covert and Mando walked past multiple Mandalorians, who all turn their heads to openly gawked at the sight of his camtono as Mando ignored their shocked looks and made his way into a room where a female Mandalorian was seen sitting down in front of a boiler as Din sat in front of her and placed his camtono in front of him as she looks down at it with great interest as she opened the camtono and began inspecting the Beskar ingots.
The female Mandalorian is a 5'7-feet-tall, 38-years-old woman with black eyes, short black hair, a small nose, a sharp chin, C-Cup Breasts, light skin, a slender toned build, and wears a full-body red/gray battle armor with a long-sleeved black shirt underneath as her armor has a red breastplate, a short brown fur coat, forearm-length brown gloves, a black utility belt, a long brown kilt with dark green pants underneath, red/gray knee pads, and brown combat boots. She also wears a golden metallic helmet that covered her face entirely as it has five small spikes on the top. Her name is Cuji Marsh, but she's most known as the Armorer, forger of armor/weapons for the Mandalorians.
"This amount can be shaped in many ways," Armorer informed Din as other Mandalorians began filing into the room.
"My armor has lost its integrity. I may need to begin again." Din says as Cuji nods.
"Indeed. I can form a full cuirass. This would be in order for your station."
"That would be a great honor."
"I must warn you, it will draw many eyes," Armorer warns Din as a tall, muscular Mandalorian walks in and grabs one of the Beskar ingots as he lets out a derisive snort.
The tall Mandalorian is a 6'3-feet-tall, 27-year-old man with green eyes, short red hair, a small scar over his right eye, a big nose, a sharp chin, pink skin, a tall bulky muscular build, and wears a full-body blue/black battle armor with a long-sleeved black shirt underneath as his armor has a blue chest plate, blue shoulder pads, a Mythosaur skull emblem on his pauldron, forearm-length golden/brown gauntlets with black gloves, a long black cape, a strap wrapped around his body that wore a large wrist-mounted flamethrower, a black utility belt, gray/blue pants, golden knee pads, and blue/golden combat boots. He also wears a silver-blue metallic helmet that covered his face entirely. His name is Pal Vizsla.
"These were cast in an Imperial smelter. These are the spoils of the Great Purge. The reason we live hidden like Sandrats." Paz says while tossing the ingot back on the table with a glare.
"Our secrecy is our survival. Our survival is our strength." Cuji says as Paz scoffs.
"Our strength was once in our numbers. Now we live in the shadows and only come above ground one at a time. Our world was shattered by the Empire with whom this coward shares tables." Paz says while stepping forward as he grabs onto Din Djarin's helmet in an attempt to pull it off, but Din wouldn't have it as he smacked away his hands and stood up as they began fighting.
"Boys," Armorer muttered under her breath as Paz and Din grappled with each other for a few seconds before Mando got an idea as he suddenly lets go of his opponent, who lost his balance as he fell forward, and Din used the chance to pull out his Vibroblade as he began slashing his fellow Mandalorian's chest plate, not really hurting him as Paz pulled out his own Vibroblade and pointed at Din's neck as Mando did the same and pointed his knife near Paz's neck as they stood in a standstill.
"The Empire is no longer, and the Beskar has returned," Armorer says while standing up as she gave her fellow Mandalorians a stern look. "When one chooses to walk the way of the Mandalore, you are both hunter and prey. How can one be a coward if one chooses this way of life?" Armorer asked Paz rhetorically as he remained silent, and Cuji shakes her head at him as she turned over to Din. "Have you ever removed your helmet?"
"No," Din answered curtly while not turning to her as he glared at Paz.
"Has it ever been removed by others?"
"Never," Din says firmly as Armorer nods in satisfaction.
"This is the way."
"This is the way." All of the other Mandalorians repeated as Din and Paz did the same and separated from each other as Armorer turned to Din and raised an eyebrow as she now noticed how battle-worn Din's armor look.
"What caused this damage?" Cuji asks.
"A Mudhon."
"Then you have earned the Mudhorn as your signet. I shall craft it." Armorer informed the Mandalorian as Din shakes his head and raised his hand.
"I can't accept. It... wasn't a noble kill. I was... helped by the enemies." Mando says as Armorer raised an eyebrow at what he says.
"Why would your enemies help you in battle?"
"One of them did not know it was my enemy. As for the other one, well..." Din trailed off as he had a small flashback where a smiling Luna tells him that she likes helping people out even if they're jerks. Din felt a pang of guilt from the memory as he started feeling bad for what he did to the young girl before shaking his head as he turned back to the Armorer stoically. "It doesn't matter," Mando says shortly as Armorer raised an eyebrow at him before shrugging as she grabbed onto the Beskar ingots.
"Since you forego a signet, I shall use the excess to forge whistling birds," Armorer says as Din nodded in appreciation.
"Whistling birds will do well. Reserve some for the foundlings."
"As it should always be. The foundlings are the future. This is the way."
"This is the way." Din and the other Mandalorians chanted, almost as if they were in a cult, as the Armorer turns around to begin forging.
"Whistling birds are a powerful defense against multiple enemies. Use them sparingly, for they are rare." Cuji warns Din as she continued forging Mand's new armor and weapon as the Mandalorian began experiencing flashbacks of his childhood.
Din felt his heartache at seeing the memory of Separatist Battle Droids destroying his town and killing a multitude of his people, including his own parents as the memory then shifted to show the first time he meets Luna and Jelal and all of the experiences they have shared with each other until right at the moment where he handed them over to The Client and Physphon as he once again felt guilty for his actions, but didn't have time to think about it as Armorer finished forging his new armor and lay it in front of Din as he gave her a thankful nod and grabbed it to put it on another room.
"Ugh, what's going on?" Luna asked groggily while waking up from her unconsciousness as she looks around, and her eyes widen in shock as the young ten-year-old girl realized that she was placed in what seemed to be a high-tech lab with a red/orange scheme and there was also a small cart placed beside her as it was filled with all kinds of lethal-looking weapons that Luna was 100% sure was going to be used on her. "Oh, this looks awfully familiar, and not in a good way," Luna says frightfully with a gulp as she looked up and was happy to see that her hands were no longer cuffed, but was also dismayed to see that her hands were now bounded by circular blue energy rings as she was dangling in mid-air. "Yeah, I definitely feel like I've been here before. Luna says nervously as small horrifying flashbacks rang out in her mind, but the young girl didn't have time to dwell on them as the lab doors were opened, and Pysphon walked in as he was surprised to see Luna awake.
"Oh, you gained consciousness already? Damn, I must've used a low voltage on that taser...eh, it doesn't matter. You were knocked out long enough for me to cuff you, and without access to your little fancy watch, you're just a useless ten-year-old calfling." Pysphon says condescendingly while walking over to Luna as he smirked up at her smugly and the young Omnitrix wielder glared at him as she reared back her leg and kicked Pysphon across his face!
"Ugh!" Pysphon grunted as he took a couple of steps back and rubbed his forehead as, although he wasn't hurt at all by Luna's attack, Pysphon was still surprised that the little human girl had the gall to kick him.
"Not so bad for a calfling, huh?" Luna asked rhetorically while grinning at him smugly as the white-skinned alien narrowed his eyes at her in slight anger and pressed a couple of buttons on his gauntlets as a panel on the roof opened up, and several robots flew down as they surrounded their master. The robots are squared, red, box-shaped robots with red eyes, a white skull-shaped face, and they have double blasters attached on the sides. Their names are Robotic Extermination Devices or R.E.D. for short.
"Have any more smart-aleck remarks, little girl?" Pysphon asked with a glare as the R.E.D.'s turned on their blasters and aimed their weapons at the young child as Luna flinched at this at first before calming down as she took a deep breath and glared at the tall white-skinned alien coldly.
"You know you won't get away with this. I don't know what your Master is planning, but rest assured, he will not get a hand on my watch." Luna says firmly as Pysphon laughed at what she says.
"Oh, really? And pray tell how are you planning to stop us, Earthling? Need I remind you of your current predicament? You're in no condition to escape from me." Pysphon says as Luna glances at her cuffs and groans in defeat as she realizes that Pysphon has a point until an idea popped into her head as she grinned down at him smugly.
"Well, even if you're Master does get his hands on my watch, there's no way that he will be able to use it for himself since it's stuck to my wrist," Luna says, knowing full well that it's impossible to remove the Omnitrix from her wrist due to the watch having bonded with her DNA for so long that's it practically a part of her now.
"Oh, trust me, my Master knows full well about that, but unfortunately for you, Master Vilgax had figured out several ways to remove the Omnitrix from your arm without its failsafe stopping us from removing your watch," Pysphon says with a grin while turning around to grab something from the cart as Luna eyes widen in horror at the name and trembled in fear as she felt deep dread travel across her body.
"V-Vilgax!?" Luna asked in shock/fear as Pysphon noticed the slight tremble in her voice and smirked sinisterly as he grabbed a small black stick with a red button placed on the tip and turned towards the scared little girl.
"Ah, I see that you remember my Master. That's good because he remembers you fondly, and Master Vilgax can't wait to meet you again." Pysphon says as Luna whimpers in fear and struggled to break free from her bonds, but failed as Pysphon smirked amusedly at her fruitless efforts to escape before growing serious as he placed his arms behind his back and glared at her menacingly.
"Anyway, Human, I was going to remove the Omnitrix from your wrist on our way to Master Vilgax's location, but after that little kick you gave me earlier, I think you deserve some punishments for your naughty behavior," Pysphon says while raising his weapon into the air as Luna stared at it warily and trembled nervously as Pysphon see this and grins sadistically at the fear radiating off of her body as he stalks towards her. "Now, prepare yourself, Terran. The separation process is quite..." Pysphon says as he pressed the button on his weapon, and the black stick slowly transformed into a sharp trident-like weapon that sparked with blue electricity. "...painful." Pysphon finished ominously as Luna eyed his weapon with pure absolute terror and gulped nervously as she began thrashing in her bonds.
"No, please! Don't do it!" Luna shouted, pleading for mercy as Pysphon ignored her cries and let out a loud yell as he stuck his weapon onto the Omnitrix and the advanced high-tech alien watch's failsafe immediately kicked in as it sends out a giant blue energy surge that enveloped the entire room.
"Argh!" Pysphon grunted in pain as he was blown away by the energy source, and crashed landed on the ground as the white-skinned male alien groaned and sits up as he saw that his weapon was still attached itself to the Omnitrix and was currently in the process of slowly removing the Omnitrix from Luna's wrist as Luna bit her lip harshly and closed her eyes as she struggled very hard not to scream from the intense pain she was feeling, but failed as tears rain down from her eyes and Luna let out one loud scream of pure pain that rang out across the ship.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, we see the Mandalorian walking out of the covert as he now wore a brand new, reinforced, silver battle armor with a long-sleeved black shirt underneath as the armor has a silver chest plate, black/silver shoulder pads, a black cape that reaches down to his legs, silver gauntlets, black fingerless gloves, a black strap wrapped around his chest that holds his Pulse Gun, a black utility belt, a black gun holster that holds a small black blaster pistol, long black pants, black/silver knee pads, black combat boots and of course, he still wore his silver metallic helmet. Anyway, while Din was making his way through the city, every single mercenary openly gawked in awe/jealousy/anger at his new armor as Din ignored their stares and made his way over to a cantina as he opened the doors, and was treated with more jealous/awe stares as Din rolled his eyes at this and shakes his head as he looked around and spotted Greef Karga sitting on his usual booth as he seems to be in the middle of a meeting with female Appoplexian bounty hunter as the large cat-like alien was glaring at the middle-aged human fiercely.
The bounty hunter is an 8-feet-tall, 26-year-old female Appoplexian as she resembles a tiger-like alien with gray eyes, two boned quill-like orange/black eyebrows, black stripes on her shoulders/head/legs/upper body, a pronounced jaw with two fangs sticking out, a white muzzles/neck/chest/stomach/hands/feet, four-fingered hands, two retractable black claws that can come out of each other wrists, orange fur, a humanoid bipedal slim but muscular built, two-toed feet, a long orange tiger-like tail with black stripes on it, and her outfit consists of a brown vest with a white shirt underneath, a brown scarf, a strap wrapped around her chest that holds a rather large gun, ripped brown pants, a utility belt, and no shoes. Her name is Krixx, one of the most notorious, strongest, and most aggressive bounty hunters there is.
"Look, Krixx, I keep telling you that I'm not interested in hearing your excuses." Greef Karga says to Krixx in exasperation as he was tired of having to deal with the aggressive alien.
"Excuses!?" Krixx yelled in outrage as she let out a loud roar and reared back her arms as she slammed them against the table, easily breaking it in two as Greef Karga, for the most part, remained unfazed by what she did as Krixx approached him while unleashing her claws as she points them near his neck and growled at him threateningly. "Let me tell you something, Greef Karga! Leader of the Bounty Hunter's Guild! Krixx keeps telling you that Krixx had received the puck first, and Krixx was about to head off to collect the bounty, but Krixx got a little sidetracked!" Krixx yelled into his face as Greef Karga winced a bit from the spit landing on his face but otherwise didn't do anything as Greef Karga raised an eyebrow at her.
"And what got you sidetracked exactly?" Greef Karga asked as Krixx growled in annoyance and stood back as she pouted.
"One of Krixx's kittens got sick, and Krixx's mate was off-world, so Krixx was forced to take care of them for these last couple of days," Krixx growled out with an annoyed look on her face as Greef Karga raised an eyebrow at her.
"You have kids?" Greef Karga asked as Krixx rolled her eyes at him and scoffed as she glared at him.
"Let me tell you something, Greef Karga! Of course, Krixx has kids! Why else you would think that Krixx took a job as a bounty hunter?! Krixx needs to pay the bills!" Krixx yelled as Greef Karga wiped away her spit with a napkin and stood up as the Young Man glared at her sternly.
"Look, I'm sorry for what happened to your kitten, but you had your shot, and one of our other bounty hunters already collected the bounty and the reward, so you missed your chance. Accept your loss and move on." Greef Karga says as Krixx growled at him and panted heavily as she shook in anger and punched a hole in the wall as she stalks off.
"Well, that was interesting," Mando says snarkily, making his presence known to Greef Karga as he smirked at Din and shrugged.
"Eh, Appoplexians, what can you do?" Greef Karga asked rhetorically as Mando nodded understandably, and Greef Karga stood up as he walked over to Din, and the duo noticed every single Merceneraries glaring at Mando as Greef Karga shakes his head and laughed as he turned to Mando. "They all hate you, Mando because you're a legend!"
"How many of them had tracking fobs?" Din asked as Greef Karga rolled his eyes and scoffed.
"All of them. ALL of them! But not one of them was able to even come close to finishing the deal. Only you, Mando. Only you. And with it, the richest reward this parsec has ever seen. Please, sit my friend... at another table." Greef Karga says sheepishly as Mando nods, and the duo walked past the destroyed table as they sat down on another one. "They're all weighing the Beskar in their minds but not me. No. I, for one, celebrate your success. Because it is my success as well. Hell, even I'm rich," Greef Karga says with a greedy smirk while pulling out two Beskar ingots from his jacket. "Now, how can I show my gratitude to my most valuable partner?" Greef Karga asked with a smile while pocketing his Beskar ingots as Din stared at him blankly.
"I want my next job," Mando says bluntly as Greef Karga stared at him with a mildly surprised look on his face.
"Next job? Take some time off. Enjoy yourself. I'll take you to the Twi'lek healing baths~," Greef Karga says suggestively as he giggled pervertedly.
"I want my next job," Din says, wanting to get to his next job as soon as possible so that he can get his mind off of the kids.
"Sure. Fine." Greef Karga says while rolling his eyes as he sighs and pulls out a couple of pucks from his jacket and showed them to The Mandalorian. "You hunters like to keep busy, right? Well, these are all far away."
"The further, the better," Din says, eager to go off-world as the Mandalorian felt the seeds of guilt and remorse brewing rapidly in his stomach as he felt so horrible about his actions that he was feeling a bit sick.
"Well, take your pick. You've earned it." Greef Karga says as the Mandalorian quickly grabs one of the pucks and turns on the hologram as the face of a Mon Calamari appeared. "Ah... that's the best of the lot. A nobleman's son. Skipped bail. Looks like you're headed to the ocean dunes of Karnac." Greef Karga says as the Mandalorian eagerly grabs the puck and gets up to leave, but then halts as Din remembered Luna's words from earlier and grew worried as he turned back to Greef Karga.
"Any idea what they're gonna do with the kids?" Mando asked as Greef Karga raised an eyebrow at his question before shrugging as he lay against his chair.
"I didn't ask. It's against the Guild Code. You know that."
"One of the clients works for the Empire. And the other client is unknown but doesn't work for the Empire as he seems to be allied with someone else. What are they doing here?" Din asked as Greef Karga sighed heavily and placed his arms on the table as he turned towards Mando with a hard look on his face.
"The Empire is gone, Mando. All that is left are mercenaries and warlords. But if it bothers you, just go back to the Core and report them to the New Republic.
"That's a joke," Mando says with a scoff as Greef Karga nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, and as for the client...well, it's kind of complicated." Greef Karga says as he looked around cautiously and stood up as he made his way over to a secluded area and gestures for the Mandalorian to follow him. Din raised an eyebrow at this before shrugging as he walked over to Greef Karga and crossed his arms as the leader of the Bounty Guild looked around warily, making sure that no one was eavesdropping on them as he then turned back to the Mandalorian with a grim look on his face. "Okay, look, the other client's name is Pysphon. A Yardrack from the former destroyed planet of Andrea. And he is the servant of...Vilgax the Conqueror."
"WHAT!?" Din asked in pure shock while taking a couple of steps back as his yell alerted the other Mercenaries, and Greef Karga gave them an awkward smile before turning to the shocked Mandalorian with a stern look.
"Keep it down. You want the whole catina to freak out?" Greef Karga asked rhetorically as Din swiftly regained his composure and glared at his boss as he marched up to him.
"Are you meaning to tell me that Vilgax the Conqueror is here? On Nevarro?" Din asked urgently as Greef Karga shakes his head.
"No, only his servant. He came to me here when everybody was gone to talk with me and the Client. Pysphon offered to pay us a lot of money to capture the watch that was on that little slave girl's wrist."
"What amount of money would be worth working with a servant to one of the most dangerous people in the universe?" Mando asked as Greef Karga discretely looked around and, once he was certain that no one was looking, pulls out a small metal box as Greef Karga opens it and Din was shocked to see a few pieces of Taydenite.
"This amount. With just these few pieces, I'm set for life, Mando. So if all I have to do is to hand over a stupid watch to get rich, then I will."
"And what about the little girl?"
"Relax, Mando. Pysphon told us that he has no use for the little girl and only wants her for her watch. Once he takes it off of her wrist, Pysphon will most likely dump her on some random planet elsewhere. Don't worry about it." Greef Karga says, but Din didn't feel reassured by his words at all as Mando now realized the seriousness of the situation, and his worry for Luna increased tenfold as he gripped his fist tightly. "Anyway, Mando, I was wondering if you would do me the favor and don't tell anyone about our little conversation here. Pysphon had also paid us a few credits to keep our mouth's shut about Vilgax intervention, so I would be grateful if you don't-Hey, where are you going?" Greef Karga says before raising an eyebrow as he saw Din wordlessly turn around and ran out of the cantina as Greef Karga watched him go suspiciously.
"I can't believe I let this happen." Din thought to himself while walking through the crowd of aliens and humans as he was cursing himself mentally for his actions. "I have to make this right before it's too late." Mando thought to himself as he made his way towards the location of Pysphon's ship, which was placed in a more secluded area of the town as Din was about to enter the ship, but then Mando remembered who the ship truly belongs to and stop in his tracks as his face went pale a bit. While Din was confident in his abilities against facing all types of sinister people, the Mandolorian will reluctantly admit that he wasn't confident enough to fight against Vilgax the Conqueror. Having second thoughts, Din sighed heavily as he turned around and was about to walk back towards his ship and forget about the kids, but then-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
...At the sound of Luna's scream of absolute pain and sorrow, Din immediately pulled out his blaster and turned around as he ran towards Pysphon, his earlier fear of facing the wrath of Vilgax was replaced with pure determination, worriedness, and unbridled fury as he runs towards the ship at max speed.
Luna continued screaming at the top of her lungs as she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth as Pysphon's weapon slowly pulled off the Omnitrix from her wrist and tears of pain rolled down from Luna's eyes as the Omnitrix continue to try in vain to stop Pysphon's device from detaching it from its master's wrist by circling through the alien's playlist to find the right alien to use to save Luna, but didn't have enough time to find the appropriate alien to use as Pysphon's weapon was about to finally remove the Omnitrix from Luna's person, but then-
"INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!"
"What? Intruder alert?" Pysphon asked in confusion while looking around confusedly as his ship's alarm began blaring loudly, and suddenly a large explosion occurred from somewhere in the ship as the room shook a bit and Pysphon lost his balance, but quickly caught himself as he turned to one of his R.E.D.'s. "Computer! Report!"
"The intruder seems to be located near the ship's engines and disabled it by placing an explosive." Pysphon computer says as the thousand-year-old Yardack growled in annoyance.
"Well, whoever he/she is, I will teach her/him a lesson for daring to intrude Master Vilgax's ship and sabotage it!" Pysphon says threateningly while turning around as he started walking away and commanded his R.E.D.'s to follow after him as they walked out of the lab. Luna didn't notice nor care that they left as she was still screaming in pain from Pysphon's device, but then stopped as she felt the pain alleviate a bit and Luna sighs in relief as she opened her eyes and gasped in horror as she saw the Omnitrix successfully taken off from her wrist as it floated in the air by a blue sphere that Pysphon's weapon created.
"No!" Luna cried out in dismay as she tried to reach out to grab her Omnitrix but failed as she gritted her teeth in frustration and bends her head down as she started crying in misery at the situation. Realizing that with the Omnitrix now in Pysphon's possession, nothing will stop him from delivering the Omnitrix over to his master, and once Vilgax gets his hands on it, all will be lost. "This can't be happening," Luna whispers under her breath, in disbelief at the situation as the doors to the lab opened, and Luna closed her eyes in defeat as she waited for Pysphon to start gloating about his victory, but then-
"Hey, kid." A familiar male-modulated voice as Luna's eyes widen in shock and looked up as she was surprised to see Din standing near the entrance of the lab. "Had a rough day?" Mando asked as Luna slowly blinked in disbelief before snorting in amusement at what he said as she smiles at him.
"Yeah, I seem to have an uncanny ability of always getting cuffed. Either by mercenaries, alien psychopaths, or jerks with silver helmets." Luna says snarkily, still miffed with Din handing her over to Pysphon as the Mandalorian flinched and looks down guiltily as Luna sees this and her eyes widen in shock as she was surprised to see how...remorseful Din looked at his actions as the Mandalorian sighed heavily and looked up at the little girl with an apologetic look on his face.
"Look, kid, I know you must hate me right now, but I just want to say that I'm sorry for handing you over to Pysphon and handing the Child over to the Empire. That was a rotten thing to do." Din says as Luna glared at him.
"Yeah, it was," Luna says, angrily as Din's shoulders sagged in sadness before blinking in surprise as Luna's face soften, and the little girl smiled at him as she stared at him warmly. "But the fact that you came back to me shows how much of a good person you really are, and I'm grateful that you came for my rescue," Luna says as Din slowly smiled back and looked up as he just now noticed the Omnitrix floating beside him.
"And just in time, I see. I'm surprised that you let them take the Omnitrix away from you," Din says as Luna rolled her eyes at him and gave the Mandalorian a blank look.
"Well, I couldn't stop them even if I try," Luna says while gesturing to her cuffs as Din nods in understatement before giving her a confused look.
"I thought you said it was impossible for them to remove the Omnitrix from your arm?" Din asked, bewildered as he remembered Luna telling him something about the Omnitrix being so bonded to her DNA that it was impossible to remove it from her wrist.
"It normally is, but it seems that Vilgax had found a weapon that is capable of taking off the Omnitrix from my wrist. But it wasn't exactly...painless." Luna says with a wince as Din looked over at her arm and felt his blood boil as he saw the red marks on her hand.
"I'm sorry," Din says apologetically as Luna smiled at him and shrugs.
"It's okay, Mando. It's not your fault. It's Pysphon." Luna says as Din nodded and glanced at Luna's cuffs as he noticed a giant red button planted on the wall and reached out to press it as the energy cuffs covering Luna's arms/legs disappeared, and the young girl fell down to the ground with a soft grunt as Din helped her up. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for releasing me." Luna says with a smile as Din nodded to her curtly.
"Anytime, now, let's get out of here," Mando says as Luna nodded and the duo were about to leave but stopped as the doors to the lab, and an unamused Physphon walked into the room as he saw a surprised Din standing below a shocked Luna and glared at them as he clapped his hands sarcastically.
"Nice try on the distraction, Mandalorian. I knew you would come to try and save the Terran sooner or later by how you acted earlier, so all I had to do is wait, and here you are. All alone and defenseless against my army of R.E.D.'s," Pysphon says while pressing a few buttons on his gauntlet as his R.E.D.'s appeared and swarmed around their master as they pointed their blasters at them, and Luna's eyes widen in fear while the Mandalorian simply narrows his eyes at them as he stood in front of Luna protectively. "So, Mandalorian, do you admit defeat, or will I have my R.E.D.'s dispose of you?" Pysphon asked with a sinister grin as Din grinned at him from under his helmet.
"Well, Pysphon, I must admit that you have really planned things out, but I must tell you that you forgot about one little detail," Mando says as Pysphon raised an eyebrow at him and crossed his arms.
"Oh, yeah? And what is that?" Pysphon asked as Mando smirked at him smugly.
"That you're stupid enough to leave your precious Omnitrix near my vicinity," Din says while reaching out to grab the Omnitrix from out of the sphere as he then turned towards a surprised Luna and promptly plants the Omnitrix onto her wrist, much to everyone shock/horror/delight as the Omnitrix beeped and the faceplate flashed green rapidly before quickly changing to its regular blue color as it beeped, signaling that it was ready to use as Luna smiled widely and cheered.
"Yeah! It's good to have you back, Omnitrix!" Luna says to her watch as the Omnitrix beeped as if saying, 'The feelings mutual' as Pysphon grew angry and turned to his R.E.D.'s as he pointed at the Mandalorian and Luna.
"Destroy them!" He commanded as the R.E.D.'s beeped in acknowledgment and turned on their blasters as they aimed towards the duo and opened fire on them as Luna swiftly activated the Omnitrix and slammed her hand down on the core as a big blue glow appeared just as the laser blasts hits them as a smoke cloud appeared. After a few seconds of shooting, Pysphon held out his hand as the R.E.D.'s ceased firing and Vilgax's lackey peered into the dust cloud as he narrowed his eyes and gasped in shock as he saw a large fury alien covering a crouched Din's body from the laser fire as her back smoked from the laser blasts, but otherwise remained unfazed by the onslaught as she turned around to glare at a shocked Pysphon and growled threateningly.
Luna had now transformed into an 8-foot-tall, female Wookie with small forward-facing blue eyes, a dog-like nose, sharp fangs, a thick shaggy coat of black/white hair that covers her entire body from head to toe, four-fingered black gorilla-like hands with one opposable thumb on each hand, retractable sharp claws, a human biped muscular hourglass figure, two pairs of gorilla-like feet, and her outfit consisted of a light blue cloth that covered up her upper body, a silver shoulder pad on her right shoulder, a silver armband on her left arm, and a long light blue loincloth that covered her lower body as the Omnitrix symbol was planted above her right breast. Her name is-
"Smacksquatch!" The newly named Smacksquatch roared out, although nobody in the room understood her whatsoever as the only thing they heard was a loud growl.
"A Wookie, huh? Nice choice." Din says while nodding approvingly as Smacksquatch turned to him and growled in appreciation as Pysphon quickly recovered from his shock and gritted his teeth in frustration as he turned to look up at the R.E.D.'s.
"Kill them, but bring the Omnitrix back to me!" Pysphon commanded with the R.E.D.'s immediately opening fire on the duo as Smacksquatch and Mando quickly reacted and used a table as cover to protect themselves from the laser fire as Din pulled out his blaster and turned to Smacksquatch as he gave the transformed human a serious look.
"Kid, handle the bots, I will go and deal with Pysphon." Din says as Smacksquatch purrs and nodded as Mando nodded back, and the duo went to work as they leaped out of cover and charged as they separated to fight their respective opponents.
Dodging the laser fire, Smacksquatch approaches three R.E.D.'s as she leaped up and roared savagely as she reared back her hand and punched through a R.E.D. bot as it blew up. Landing on the ground, Smacksquatch quickly dropped down and rolled out of the way as the remaining R.E.D.'s opened fire on her and Luna took cover behind a large crate as Smacksquatch peek over the corner and was surprised to see five more R.E.D.'s joining alongside their comrades as they opened fire on her and Luna quickly pulled her head back as she was barely able to dodge a laser blast from burning her face off. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, Smacksquatch realized that she can't fight them on her own as she looked around to find something that can help her out against the blasting robots and was surprised to see a large blaster rifle lying beside her as she blinks and grins mischievously as she grabbed the gun and cocked it as she purred in approval.
"I'm so glad that I've learned how to use a blaster a long time ago," Smacksquatch says to herself mentally as she then leaped out of her cover, and before the R.E.D.'s could react, Luna opened fire on them as she sends out multiple energy blasts that sailed through the air before piercing about six R.E.D.'s bodies as they instantly blew up. The R.E.D.'s who had survived the attack were surprised by their comrade's demise as they wondered where Luna got the blaster rifle but didn't have time to think about it as Smacksquatch let out a loud roar and leaped up as she kicked one of the R.E.D.'s away before raising her weapon as she blasted two R.E.D.'s at the same time and landed on the ground as more and more R.E.D.'s showed up as they aimed their weapons at out alien shape-shifting hero, but Smacksquatch wasn't afraid as she pulled out her own weapon and roared as she opened fire on floating box-shaped robots.
"Good job, kid, keep them distracted." Mando thought to himself while making his way over to an oblivious Pysphon as Din had to reluctantly admit that he was impressed by Luna's sharpshooting. Sure her aim isn't always perfect, but the fact that a 10-year-old girl can use a blaster rifle so fluently was quite impressive. Shaking his head, Mando remembered his current objective as he sneaked up to a distracted Phsyphon and saw him working on his gauntlet as Din quickly realized that was his control for his robots and pulled out his blaster as he shot Pysphon's gauntlet...only to groan in annoyance as Pysphon projected a big red energy shield that protected him from the attack.
"Oh, sneak attack, quite clever, Mandalorian, but don't think that I forgot about you," Pysphon says as he raised his arm and summons dual-energy blasters as he opened fire on the Mandalorian. Dodging his attack, Mando started running across the room as Pysphone continued firing small but lethal red energy discs at him as Din ducked behind a table and panted heavily as energy blasts flew past his head, and Din pulled out his other blaster as he started taking deep breaths to calm down his beating heart.
Smacksquatch let out a loud primal roar as she continued blasting multiple robots to oblivion until her blaster rifle ran out of power as Luna growled in annoyance, but then an idea popped into her head as she grinned and gripped her weapon tightly as she leaped up and used the blaster rifle like a bat to smack a R.E.D. away as the small robot crashed against a wall, and blew up. Landing on the ground, Smacksquatch turned over to the remaining R.E.D.'s and smirked at them cooly as she twirled her blaster around before taking a crouched pose as she gestured for the R.E.D.'s to attack her.
Taking the challenge, one of the R.E.D.'s flew over to her as he pulled out a taser from his underside, and tried to tase the female Wookie to oblivion, but Smacksquatch won't let that happen as she easily grabbed onto the small robot with her large hand and tossed it over to another robot as they both blew up upon impact. Roaring, Smacksquatch leaped up and used her blaster rifle to smack away two R.E.D.'s and landed on top of a R.E.D. as she quickly used her Wookie strength to punch through the robot's metal and pulls out some wires as the R.E.D. immediately shuts down, and Smacksquatch leaped off as the robot blew up, taking out several R.E.D.'s that were flying too close to it as Smacksquatch landed on the ground and narrowed her eyes at a group of R.E.D.'s, who didn't look enthusiastic about fighting her as Smacksquatch grinned at this and roared as she charges at them, and the R.E.D.'s beeped in fear as they ran away from the charging Wookie.
"We don't have to continue fighting like this, Pysphon. All I wanted was the girl. We can stop this and go our separate ways," Din says, not really meaning what he's saying as Mando was simply buying time to come up with a plan.
"A Mandalorian wishing to stop fighting? How cute. Sorry to break this to you, Mandalorian, but I can't just simply let you two go." Pysphon says with a condescending laugh as Mando ignored his laughter and discreetly peeked over the corner as he saw a pipe placed above a laughing Pysphon's head, and an idea began forming in his head as Din swiftly pulled out his other blaster.
"My Master has been quite eager to get his hands on the Omnitrix and, with the little girl currently wearing it, I have to-," Pysphon says as he was about to monologue, only to be cut off by the Mandalorian as Din suddenly rolled out of his hiding place and blasted two energy blasts at Pysphon as the white-skinned alien eyes widen in shock and reflexively created an energy shield to protect himself from harm, but that was what Mando hoping he would do as the energy blasts bounced off the shield and started zipping across the room like a bouncy ball before striking the pipe hanging above Pysphon as it split apart and send out a loud hiss of hair that hits Pyshphon's face.
"Argh!" Pysphon yelped as he covered his face, and Din quickly used the chance to blast Pysphon's gauntlet as it sparked before setting off a small explosion that caused Pysphon to scream in pain as he was sent flying away and crashed against a wall. Groaning, Pysphon tries to sit up, only for his eyes to widen in surprise as he saw a group of R.E.D.'s clustered and smushed together to form a giant red ball as Smacksquatch appeared beside the ball and smirked at Pysphon smugly. "Oh, no." Pysphon groans out, realizing what the transformed Terran was about to do as Smacksquatch grabbed onto the ball and grunted as she lifted it off the ground and then promptly tossed it over to Pysphon as it collided against them and sends them smashing through the walls of the lab as they disappeared.
"Nice job, kid, now come on, we need to get out of here, save the child, and head to my ship before Pysphon recovers," Mando says to Luna as Smacksquatch grunts in approval. "I won't suppose you happen to have Kineceleran DNA do you?" Mando asked hopefully as Luna shakes her head sadly before gaining an idea as she grinned and slammed her large hands onto her Omnitrix symbol, causing another blue glow to appear as Din closed his eyes from the bright flash before opening them as he was surprised to see a horse-like alien standing in place as she let out a loud neigh.
Luna had now transformed into a 5-feet-tall female Yunikon with a unicorn-like body as she has small blue eyes with two white orb-shaped pupils, long pink hair that was tied up into a high ponytail, a pink/black horn, a small horse-like snout with two holes that act as her nose, black markings on her neck/nose/arms, three-fingered arms, white skin, a humanoid muscular/hourglass figure, a huge blue/black wheel where her legs are supposed to be as it had two small spikes attached to it, and her outfit consisted of a skin-tight blue shirt with medieval metal shoulder padding as it has blue spikes on it, medieval silver/black arm-length gauntlets, and a small medieval blue helmet as the Omnitrix symbol was located on her back. Her name is-
"Unitaur!" The newly-named Unitaur yelled out as Din looked over Luna's newest transformation silently.
"Huh, a Yunikon. Not as fast as Kinecelerans, but Yunikon's can at least somewhat keep up with Citrakayah's, so I guess this alien form will do." Mando says with a reluctant shrug as Unitauer rolled her eyes at him and snorts.
"Don't tighten that fancy helmet of yours into your head too tightly, Mando. Unitaur is more than capable of the job. Now, hope on." Unitaur says while bending down as Din shrugs and quickly boards on top of Luna's back as Unitaur lets out another neigh and raced off at high speeds.
"Whoa!" Din yelped as he was surprised by how fast Unitaur was going and was forced to hold onto Luna tightly as Unitaur zoomed down a hallway and, after a few minutes of riding, the duo finally found the exit as they zipped out of the door and landed on the ground as Unitaur turned around, and her horn glowed cyan as Luna fired an ice beam that froze the entire exit in thick ice.
"That should keep Pysphon busy for a little while until we can rescue Jelal and get the hell out of here," Unitaur says with a snort.
"Great idea, kid," Mando says approvingly as Unitaur smiled at the praise and lets out another neigh as they zoomed off and raced across the town, spooking the hell out of the mercenaries as they made their way to the Client's building and arrived near the entrance as Mando spotted something that made his eyes widen in surprise and turned to Unitaur. "Wait, kid, stop," Din ordered as Unitaur raised an eyebrow at him but nodded as she screeches to a halt.
"What's wrong?" Unitaur asked as Mando pointed ahead, and Unitaur was surprised to see Jelal discarded crib on a dumpster as Luna felt her blood boil by this. "If they ever lay a hand on him, I swear-"
"I know, kid," Mando says while placing his hand on his shoulder to calm her down as Unitaur snorted, but nodded as Mando then pulls out his pulse rifle and points his weapon at the building as he looked through his rifle's scope and turned on infrared as he saw the body signatures of The Client and Dr. Pershing and Din narrowed his eyes at them as he turned on his comms and made sure to amplify the volume so that he and Luna can eavesdrop on them.
"I don't care. I order you to extract the necessary material and be done with it." The Client's voice rang out as Din and Unitaur listened to their conversation carefully.
"He has explicitly ordered us to bring it back alive." Dr. Pershing answered back fearfully.
"Finish your business quickly, as I no longer can guarantee your safety." The Client says threateningly as Din shuts off his weapon and turned to Luna as the duo shared a look and nod as Unitaur let out another neigh and zoomed toward the door at high speeds as she lowered her head and stuck out her horn as she rammed into the door and easily broke it down. The Stormtroopers, who were leaning against a wall boredly, were startled by their sudden appearance as Mando pulled out his blaster and blasted a Stormtrooper away while Unitaur's horn glowed red as she fires a pyro stream at the other Stromtrooper and sends him flying away as he crashes against a wall and fell down as he instantly was knocked unconscious.
An alarm rang out across the building as more and more Stormtroopers appeared as they aimed their blasters at the duo, but Din and Unitaur weren't afraid as the Mandalorian leaped off of Luna's back and rolled across the ground as he crouched down and blasted three Stormtroopers away while Unitaur lets out another neigh as she zooms towards four Stormtroopers and ran them over with her horn as two other Stormtroopers pulled out their blasters and shot two laser blasts at Unitaur, but the unicorn-like alien thought quickly as she spun around in place to deflect the laser blasts away before stopping as Luna glared at the Stormtroopers and her horn glowed white as she fired two lightning blasts at them that instantly electrocuted them until they slowly went unconscious.
Running towards a panicking Stormtrooper, the Mandalorian raised his hand and fires a grappling hook at the armored minion as the cord wraps around his body and, before the Stormtrooper could react, Mando pulled him forward as he yanked a shocked Stormtrooper towards him and Din clotheslined him to the floor as the Mandalorian then proceeds to deliver a swift punch that knocks the Stormtrooper out. Lifting his head, Din narrowed his eyes as he saw more and more Stormtroopers storm into the room and blasted him as Din quickly rolled out of the way and swiftly pulled out his pulse rifle as the Mandalorian proceeds to shoot down every single Stormtrooper he sees.
Unitaur sees this and frowns heavily at the killing, but didn't say anything about it as they were in a time crunch and there was no time for lectures on not killing as Untiaur quickly turned towards two Stormtroopers and charged at them as they panicked by the sight of the charging alien and blasted her, but thankfully they all have horrible aim as all of the laser blasts hit her metal shoulder padding and bounced off of it as Unitaur reached the Stormtroopers and held out her hands as she grabbed them by their necks and easily lift them off from the ground as she raced towards a wall and threw the screaming Stormtroopers away as they crashed against a wall and fell down with a couple of pained groans as Unitaur quickly knocked them out with a pair of dual knuckle sandwiches.
Mando continued blasting the charging Stormtroopers to bits until one of them managed to dodge the laser blasts and ran toward the Mandalorian as Din quickly put away his pulse rifle and raised his hands to block his punch as Mando grabbed onto the Stormtrooper's hand and twisted it harshly, breaking his arm as the Stormtrooper screamed in pain and the Mandalorian wasted no time in judo flipping him to the floor as he swiftly took out his Vibroblade and sliced the Stormtrooper's neck. Clutched his bleeding throat, the armored minion struggled to breathe as he gagged in his own blood and let out one last pathetic wail before dying as Din pulled out his blaster and took out three Stormtroopers with a couple of well-shot laser blasts before turning to Luna as he gave her a serious look.
"Kid, let's go!" Din shouted while turning to Unitaur as the unicorn-like alien nodded and let out a loud neigh as she raced down the hallway with her horn glowing cyan as she fired an ice beam and froze every single Stormtrooper that she could see.
Din quickly followed after her while blasting the surviving Stormtroopers who managed to dodge Luna's attack as they started clearing the building room by room until they eventually came across a room which held a sleeping Jelal as he seems to be placed on a large machine of some sorts as Dr. Pershing, a droid and a Stormtrooper looked him over. Entering the room, the Stormtrooper instantly spotted them as he swiftly pulls out his blaster and blasted them as the Mandalorian reacted quickly and shielded Unitaur from the laser blast as it thankfully managed to his Beskar-laced armor, but sends him flying away as he crashes against a wall with a grunt as he fell down onto the floor. Unitaur was shocked by what happened before growing angry as she glared at the Stormtrooper and her horn glowed green as she fired a green shockwave that hits the Stormtrooper's body head-on and sends him flying through the air as he crashes against the wall and fell into the ground as he groaned in pain and slowly went unconscious.
"Are you okay, Mando?" Unitaur asked the Mandalorian, who had recovered from the Stormtrooper's attack, as Unitaur helped him up to his feet.
"Yeah, I'm alright, kid," Mando says as Unitaur smiles in relief before growing serious as the duo turned over to the scared doctor, and Din pulled out his blaster as the Mandalorian pointed his weapon at him.
"No, no, no, no, please! Please! No, no, no!" Dr. Pershing pleaded as the hovering IT-O Interrogation Unit droid above him suddenly flew towards the knocked-out Jelal and pulls out a large needle as it was about to stick it into Jelal's skin, but Unitaur wouldn't let it happen as her horn glowed yellow and she blasted the droid away with a yellow energy beam as it crashed against a wall and it blew up as Dr. Pershing yelped from the small explosion and cowered against the duo as he raised his hands.
"No, please! Please, don't hurt him! It's just a child! Please! No! No!" Dr. Pershing pleaded again while shielding Jelal's body as Luna scoffs at what he said and placed her hand on her hip as she gave the nervous doctor a disbelief look.
"Are you serious, dude? Why are you acting as if we're the bad guys? We're trying to save Jelal from you." Unitaur says as the Mandalorian stoically walks over to a trembling Dr. Pershing and grabs onto him as he tosses him to the side and looked over a sleeping Jelal as he then turned to the scared doctor and aimed his weapon at him.
"What did you do to him?"
"I..."
"What did you do to him?!" Mando asked more threateningly as Uniatur walked over to Jelal and reached behind to press the Omnitrix symbol on her back as she transformed back to her human form with a flash of blue light as Luna looked over her friend worriedly and touched his cheek gently. After seeing Jelal's chest move up and down, Luna sighs in relief at seeing her little friend alive as she then realized that she needs to set him free, and looks around as Luna spotted a large red button placed above Jelal's head and quickly pressed it as Jelal was instantly freed from the machine and the Omnitrix Wielder wasted no time in grabbing him as she hugged him and held him close to her chest as Luna then turned to glare at the terrified doctor.
"I swear if you did anything to hurt him. I will hurt you," Luna says with an icy tone that made Dr. Pershing and even Din stare at her warily.
"I... I protected him! I protected him! If it wasn't for me, he would already be dead! Please, please, please, don't kill me." Dr. Pershing whimpered while cowering in fear as Luna's anger for the doctor simmer down and was replaced with pity as she noticed Mando still aiming his gun at him and sighs as Luna walked over to him and placed her hand on his rifle as she sets it down.
"Let's go, Mando," Luna says, surprising Mando as he turned to her confusedly and wondered why Luna stopped him from killing Dr. Pershing. "We have what we wanted. Dr. Pershing's not really a bad guy like the others. I mean, just look at him." Luna says while gesturing at the trembling doctor as Din stared at him for a few seconds before sighing as he puts away his rifle and turned to Luna as he nodded, and the little girl smiled at him as they quickly made their way out of the room.
"How much time until your Omnitrix recharges?" Din asked as he and Luna made their way through the hallway with Luna still holding onto Jelal tightly as they spotted a couple of Stormtroopers running past them, and the duo quickly hid behind a pillar as the Stormtroopers run past them.
"Probably five more minutes or so since I changed back early," Luna informed the Mandalorian quietly as Din groaned but nodded as they ran out of their hiding spot and made their way down to what seemed to be the basement of the building as there were hundreds of boxes littered around them.
Mando and Luna cautiously walked through the basement as they looked around for any sign of the Stormtroopers and flinched as the doors ahead of them were flung open, and a couple of Stormtroopers walked in as they jumped back in surprise by Mando and Luna's sudden presence before composing themselves as they pulled out their blasters and opened fire on them. Thinking quickly, Mando pushed the kids away as Din took the full brunt of the attacks and fell back against the boxes as the Stormtroopers opened fire on him again, but Mando was able to duck around the laser blasts as he started crawling away and disappeared in between the boxes as the Stormtroopers lost sight of him.
The Stormtroopers cursed at this as they quickly ran into the room and started looking around for the intruders and the asset, not noticing that were close to a groaning Luna as she sits up from the floor and rubs her head as she looked down at Jelal to see if he wasn't injured, only to be surprised to see Jelal finally waking up from his unconsciouses as he yawned and tiredly opened his eyes as he saw Luna looking down at him and Jelal was confused at what was going on first, but then once Jelal recognized his human friend, the young alien baby immediately grew happy as he started babbling excitedly and reached out to touch her.
"Shh! Be quiet!" Luna hissed quietly, but Jelal ignored her warning as he touched Luna's nose and giggled happily as he alerted the Stormtroopers of their presence, and they quickly made their way towards the location of Jelal's giggling as they crowded around the large box that Luna and Jelal were hiding behind.
Luna quickly covered Jelal's mouth as she pressed against her back against a box and sweated nervously as the Stormtroopers turned to each other and nodded as they charged up their guns and were about to confront the kids loomed close and closer and closer until they were right on top of the kids as they were about to check behind the crate when suddenly Din leaped out of the darkness as he swung around a taser stick that he found lying around and smacked a Stormtrooper away with it before twirling around as he struck his new weapon onto the other Stormtrooper's chest and electrocuted him to unconsciousness as the other Stormtrooper recovered from Mando's attack and charged at him, only to be blindsided by Luna as she used the crate that she was hiding behind as a battering ram and rammed him up to a wall as Din quickly struck his taser stick onto the Stormtrooper's chest and tased him as the Stormtrooper felt thousands of volts of electricity coursed through his body and screamed in pain as he slowly went unconscious.
"Come on!" Din ordered as he ran out of the room, and Luna quickly followed after him while still holding onto Jelal as they ran down a hallway and appeared in the room where Din had handed over Luna and Jelal to Pysphon and The Client as the duo spotted the exit to the building and mentally sighed in relief as they were about to make their way to the exit, but stopped as four Stormtroopers appeared by the exit and surrounded our faithful heroes as they aimed their weapons at them.
"Freeze!"
"Don't move!"
"Hands up!"
"Drop the blaster!" All of the Stormtroopers shouted as Din and Luna tensed and quickly raised their hands in surrender as Mando turned his head over to Luna.
"What about now, kid?" Din asked while gesturing to her Omnitrix as Luna looks down and frowns as she noticed that the faceplate was still red. Looking back up at Din, Luna shakes her head solemnly as Mando curses before getting an idea as he grinned under his helmet and turned back to the Stormtroopers. "Wait. I am in possession of a couple of people who are very valuable. Here..." Din says while bending down as he placed his blaster down and gestures for Luna to do the same as she frowns, but reluctantly did what he says as she bends down and gently lowers Jelal down on the floor as the Stormtroopers nodded in approval and walked over to them cautiously.
"Now turn and face me!" A Stormtrooper commanded as Din discreetly engages his Whistling Birds. "Stand up!" He ordered as Mando suddenly grabbed onto Luna and Jelal and covered them protectively as Din fired his Whistling Birds, and hundreds of small deadly missiles flew across the room as they swiftly killed every single Stormtrooper around them.
"Well, that was easy." Din quipped while standing up as he was about to run out of the room, but stopped as he noticed Luna staring at the dead bodies around her with a horrified look on her face as Mando walked over to Luna and places his hand on her shoulder as he frowned at her sympathetically. "I'm sorry that you had to see that, kid," Din says as Luna sighed heavily and shakes her head as she grabbed onto Jelal.
"I-It's okay, l-let's just go," Luna says while running out of the room as Din watched her go worriedly before shaking his head as he ran after Luna. Meanwhile, back in the Cantina, we see the Mercenaries having fun by having a few drinks or talking to each other when suddenly every single one of Luna's and Jelal's tracking fobs reactivated and started blinking red as the Mercenaries were shocked by this before grinning sinisterly as a familiar female Appoplexian leaped onto a table and cheered as she raised her tracking fobs into the air.
"Whoo-hoo! Oh, yeah! The hunt is still on!" Krixx shouted as every single Mercenary quickly stood up from their chairs and ran out of the cantina as Krixx blinked at this before growing angry as she growled. "Let me tell you something Bounty Hunters of the Guild, Momma Krixx is coming back with some dough for Krixx's kittens!" Krixx shouted while leaping out of the table as she ran out of the Cantina on all fours, running past a stoic-looking Greef Karga as he looked down at the blinking tracking fobs that Mando turned in and sighed heavily as he cursed.
"Damn it, Mando. Now, you're going to get us both in trouble."
"Indeed." A familiar sinister voice says as a startled Greef Karga turned around and was shocked to see bruised Pypshon glaring down at him as he narrowed his eyes at him. "Now, you and your Bounty Hunters are going to help me get the Omnitrix back, and if you don't. I will make sure to tell Master Vilgax that one of your Bounty Hunters stopped him from acquiring the Omnitrix." Pysphon threatened as Greef Karga's face paled and nodded as Pysphon grinned evilly.
Exiting the building, the trio walked through the town streets as they were hurriedly yet discreetly making their way to the Razor Crest as Luna subtly turned her head and noticed all of the nearby Bounty Hunters slowly turning towards them while holding onto their blinking tracking fobs as Luna puts two and two together and realized what was going on as she looked up at Din, and he gave her a knowing look as he grabbed onto her shoulder and held her close to him as they arrived at main street and saw an assortment of Bounty Hunters waiting for them as they pointed their blasters at them, unleashed their claws threateningly, growled sinisterly, and cracked their knuckles stoically as Greef Karga appeared with Pysphon flying beside him on a hover scooter as they glared at the Mandalorian and the young Omnitrix Wielder.
"Welcome back, Mando." Greef Karga greeted sarcastically before growing serious as he glared at him. "Now put the package down." Greef Karga commanded sternly as Mando narrowed his eyes at him.
"And hand over the little girl or suffer the consequences," Pysphon says threateningly as his R.E.D.'s appeared beside him and aimed their guns at the trio as Din stood in front of Luna protectively and pulled out his blaster as he aimed at them at the group of villains.
"Step aside. We're going to my ship, and that's final." Din says as Pysphon snorted at what he said and smiled down at him condescendingly.
"I don't think you're in the position to make demands, Mandalorian. We have you three outnumbered a hundred to one. Even with the Omnitrix's powers, you don't stand a chance against all of us." Pysphon says as Mando stared at him silently, but realized that he may have a point as Luna cautiously stood behind Din while holding onto Jelal as she looks down at her Omnitrix, and cursed mentally as she noticed that it was still red.
"He's right, Mando, you might as well give up now and hand over the bounty's and, perhaps, we'll let you pass." Greef Karga says as Pysphon gave him an annoyed look, not liking what he was proposing, but didn't say anything as Din glared at him furiously.
"The kids are coming with me."
"If you truly care about the kids, then you put them on the Speeder, and we'll discuss terms." Greef Karga says while gesturing at the Speeder that was placed beside the trio as Din narrowed his eyes at him.
"How do I know I can trust you?"
"Because I'm your only hope." Greef Karga says while subtly gesturing at a pissed-off-looking Pysphon as Din once again went silent, thinking about what he was going to do as a worried Luna looks down at Jelal and gasped sharply as she noticed that her Omnitrix was now glowing blue, signaling that it was charged up as Luna grinned and pulled on Din's cape to get his attention as he turned towards her and saw Luna's Omnitrix fully charged as a plan began forming around in his head.
"This is taking too long! Let's quit the yapping and get to the fighting!" Krixx yelled while growling in annoyance as Din grinned at what she said and nodded.
"I agree, let them have it, kid," Mando says while snatching Jelal from out of her hands as he flipped onto speeder for cover and, before anyone could react, Luna activated her Omnitrix as she slammed her hand down on the core and her body was covered by a thick blue glow as everyone was momentarily blinded by the flash of bright light and once it disappears, everyone was shocked to see a huge red-skinned alien standing in Luna's place as she glared at the surprised Bounty Hunters and slammed her huge hands together as she growled threateningly.
Luna had now transformed into a ten-feet-tall, female Fisttrunk as she has pupilless blue eyes, two large pink horns on the top of her head, black markings on her face, a big mouth, huge four-fingered red arms that were nearly the size of her torso, a humanoid muscular build, red skin, small red three-toed legs, and her outfit consisted of silver samurai shoulder/knee pads, black fingerless gloves with three spikes on them, silver bands on his arms/ankles, a black/blue striped belt, and a white fur pelt wrapped around her small waist as the Omnitrix symbol was located on her forehead. Her name is-
"Slapstrike!" The newly named Slapstrike shouted as everyone, except for Pysphon, stared at Luna in absolute shock and Slapstrike used their distraction to her advantage as she reared back her large fists and slammed them together as she produced a huge shockwave that sends everyone, except for Din and Jelal, flying away as they crashed landed on the ground.
"Ugh." Krixx groans while sitting up as she rubbed her head and grinned savagely as she looked up to glare at Slapstrike. "Let me tell you something, Slapstrike! Shape-shifting asset that was once a small human girl who had suddenly transformed into a Fisttrunk with the help of her fancy magic watch! If you want to brawl with Krixx, then you got it!" Krixx yelled while popping out her claws as she leaped over to Slapstrike and roared as she was about to slash Luna's face, but Slapstrike nonchalantly backhanded her away with her large hand as Krixx crashed landed inside of a building. Once everyone recovered from Slapstrike's attacks, some of the Bounty Hunters opened fire on Slapstrike while a few alien Mercanrirews charged at her to fight hand-to-hand as the more cautious Bounty Hunters decided it was best to attack the Mandalorian instead of the giant red-skinned alien that could crush them in her grip.
Mando sets a scared Jelal down on the Speeder as he then leaped out of the vehicle and pulled out his blaster as he blasted a few Human Bounty Hunters through their chests, killing them as a male Piscciss Volann Bounty Hunter approached him, and Din narrowed his eyes at the fish-like alien as he quickly scanned his body for any signs of potential weakness and found it as Mando pulled out his Vibroblade and swung his weapon as he sliced open a respirator-like device that was attached to the Piscciss Volann's Bounty Hunter neck, causing him to lose water as his eyes widen in horror and gasped for air as he fell down and clutched his neck. Once Din was sure that the fish-like alien was incapacitated for the moment, Mando kicked him away as a female Twi'lec Bounty Hunter suddenly appeared and leaped up as she landed on top of Mando's shoulders and hooked her legs around his neck as she started strangling him with her thick thighs as she began cutting off his airflow.
After disposing of the angry Appoplexian for the moment, Slapstrike turned around and grunted in pain as a male Tetramand Bounty Hunter leaped up and punched her across her face as he sends the screaming Fistthunk crashing into a nearby shack. Slapstrike shakily stood up as she cradles her bruised face, and winced as several flying R.E.D.'s and Droids appeared and opened fire on her as, while their laser blasts only harmlessly bounced off of her dense skin, Slapstrike still felt irritated by the constant attacks as she lifts her arms, and slammed them on the ground as she produced dual, small shockwaves that propelled her into the air and, before the robots could react, Slapstrike held out her arms and spun around so fast that she resembled a large red saw blade as Slapstrike easily sliced through the robots, and they blew up.
Landing on the ground, Luna suddenly lifted up her left arm as she swiftly caught a dual, knuckle punch from the Tetramand Bounty Hunter and slid back a few feet, but otherwise remained unfazed by his attack as the four-armed alien was surprised that she was able to catch his punch that fast and without effort as Slapstrike grinned at his shocked look and wordlessly raised her other hand as she then gave him a megaton punch with the force of her punch producing a mild shockwave that blew everyone back. The male Bounty Hunter grunted in pain as he felt his entire body bruise up from her punch, but Luna wasn't done with him yet as she closed her eyes and grunted in concentration as Slapstrike suddenly stretched out her right arm to nine times its normal length and sends a screaming Tetramand crashing against a wall as she punched him so hard that it left massive cracks in the wall. Groaning, the male Tetramand Bounty Hunter sits up from the floor as he rubbed his head, and gasped in shock as he saw Slapstrike leaping towards him while rearing back her large arms as she then threw them down on the Tetramand as she caused another large shockwave to rang out.
Din struggled to breathe as the female Twi'lek had her thick thighs wrapped around him and refused to let go of him as she had a fierce grip on his neck and gestured for a male Droid Bounty Hunter to grab the asset while she was distracting the Mandalorian. Nodding, the Droid ran towards Jelal as the small baby alien was watching the battle curiously and cooed nervously as the Droid reaches him and was about to nab him, only for an angry Mandalorian to stop him as he threw back his head and his silver helmet bashed against the Twi'lek's stomach, winding her as the female alien lost her hold on Din's neck, and the Mandalorian used to his advantage by grabbing onto her and throwing her towards the Droid as they crashed against each other and fell down near the Speeder. While the Twi'lec and the Droid were disoriented by the collision, Mando used the chance to raise his arm as he activated his flamethrower and, without hesitation, fired a stream of hot flames at them as the Bounty Hunters screamed/beep in agony and flailed around as they were consumed in flames and tried to call out for help, but it was too late as they were slowly burned/melted alive.
Turning off his flamethrower, Din heard a sound of clapping and giggling ahead of him as he looked up and saw Jelal cheering for him from the Speeder as Mando smiles at him in amusement before suddenly jumping to his right as a volley of red energy blasts rained down in the spot where he used to be standing and turned around as Din saw four R.E.D.'s flying in and beeped at him threateningly as they opened fire on him. Taking cover behind a large rock, Mando panted heavily as he quickly composed himself and pulled out his blaster as he was about to confront the box-shaped robots when suddenly Din noticed that the R.E.D.'s weren't aiming at him as the energy blasts zipped past his head and were heading straight towards a scared Jelal!
The Mandalorian eyes widen in alarm/worry as he quickly leaped out of his cover and raised his hand as he fired a grappling hook line at one of the shooting R.E.D.'s, and the line wrapped around the robot's body as Mando wasted no time in pulling back the line and caused the robot to swerve around the air as it accidentally shot down the rest of his comrades, saving Jelal from an early grave as Din lets go of the line and rolled away to dodge being shot at by an angry R.E.D. as Mando pulls out his blaster and blasted at the floating robot as it blew up. Taking deep breaths, Din fell back on the ground as he rubbed his face and turned his head to check on Jelal as the alien baby smiled at him in gratitude and Din smiled back at him lightly from under his helmet as he hesitantly lifts his hands and petted him awkwardly.
After punching down the Tetramand Bounty Hunters for a few seconds, Slapstike yelped in surprise as a male Trandshan Bounty Hunter suddenly appeared out of nowhere and landed behind her as he then struck her butt with his electro-staff. The attack annoyed her more than hurting her as a blushing Slapstrike turned around and backhanded him away as the Bounty Hunter crashes against a cart and fell down as he instantly was knocked out. Rubbing her butt, Slapstrike suddenly heard a loud roar as she turned around and saw a female Loboan running towards her on all fours as she skidded in front of the alien shapeshifter and growled at her threateningly as her muzzle split apart, and Slapstrike's eyes widen in shock as purple soundwaves came out of her muzzle and impacted her body as it propels Luna towards a building and crashes against it as the building fell on top of her.
Howling at the success of her kill, the female Loboan ran over to the destroyed remains of the building as she was about to dig through the rubble to collect the Omnitrix from the little girl's dead corpse, but then a large red hand popped out from the rubble as it grabbed onto her body entirely and the female Loboan let out a scared yelp as an angry Slapstrike popped out and glared down at the scared wolf-like alien as Luna let out a loud roar right in her face, causing the Bounty Hunter ears to nearly pop from the loud scream as Slaptrike slammed her against the floor before grabbing onto her tail as Luna started twirling the screaming Loboan around and then tossed her away as she sails through the sky and disappeared into the night as she crashed against the other side of town with a loud thud as she whimpered in pain and closed her eyes as she got knocked unconscious.
"Ugh, okay, Krixx will admit that hurt," Krixx says while slowly emerging from the remains of the destroyed room as she turned her head and saw Slapstrike tossing a Loboan Bounty Hunter away as Krixx narrowed her eyes at the transformed little girl. "But Krixx is not down for the count yet!" Krixx whispered-yelled as she quickly yet stealthily made her way over to her large pray and leaped up as she landed on top of her shoulders, startling Slapstrike as she tried to reach up to grab the female Appoplexian, but keeps missing as Krixx easily dodges her grabs and reached out to touch the Omnitrix symbol as she started pulling on it with all of her might as she roared in effort. "Let me tell you something, little girl! If you don't transform back into your human form and hand over your stupid watch to Krixx right now, Krixx will rip out your teeth and used them to stab your eyes!" Krixx yelled threateningly as Luna felt freaked out by what she said.
"Get off of me, you freak!" Slapstrike screamed as she managed to grab Krixx by her waist and threw her away, not noticing her Omnitrix symbol glowing yellow as it beeped a bit before turning back to its regular blue color. Landing on the ground, Krixx roared as she unsheathed her claws and charged over at Luna as she leaped into the air and slashed her face, drawing blood as Slapstrike yelped in pain and took a couple of steps back from the unexpected attack as she lost her balance and crashed down as Krixx used the opportunity to leap into the air and angled herself to fall face-first into Slapstrike's body as gravity took effect on her and Krixx started falling towards a scared Luna as she started spinning around rapidly.
"Tijuana takedown!" Krixx yelled out as she started heading closer and closer to Luna's body, aiming for her heart as Slapstrike reacted quickly and took a deep breath as she then blew a large gust of wind that actually managed to push back a surprised Krixx and sends her flying over to a fountain as she crashed against it and destroyed the fountain as water shoots out like a geyser and doused everyone nearby.
"Huh, that actually worked," Slapstrike says amusedly as she sits up from the floor and saw Krixx laying on the remains of the broken fountain with an emotionless look on her face as she raised her arm and narrowed her eyes as Krixx saw that her fur was covered in water and slowly sits up as she turned to Slapstrike stoically.
"...You got Krixx wet," Krixx says calmly before suddenly roaring as she grabs two broken pieces of the fountain and easily crushed the large pieces of cement with her bare hands as her claws extended and Krixx let out a loud angered roar as Slapstrike nervously took a couple of steps back from the angry Appoplexian and sweatdropped as she saw Krixx psychically beating the water out of her fur as she roared.
"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING...wait, what's your real name again?" Krixx asked calmly as Slapstrike blinked at her in confusion.
"Uh, Luna Loss?"
"Oh, okay, thanks...LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, LUNA LOSS! BEARER OF THE MAGIC WATCH! YOU MAY BITCH SLAP ME AWAY! YOU MAY BLOW ME AWAY...GIGGITY...BUT IF YOU EVER AND I MEAN EVER GET ME WET...THEN YOU'RE IN FOR A MAJOR ASS-KICKING!" Krixx screamed as she let out a loud primal roar and charged at the transformed kid on all fours as Slapstrike narrowed her eyes and tries to swat down the angry Appoplexian, but Krixx was ready for her this time as she quickly rolled across the ground to dodge Luna's attack and leaped onto her arm as she started running up her arm.
"Hey! Get off me!" Slapstrike shouted as she tried to swipe at the cat-like alien, but Krixx once again dodged her swipe as she reached her back and unsheathed her claws as she stabbed Luna's back. "Aaaaghhhh!" Slapstrike yelled in pain as Krixx continued stabbing the young Fistthunk's back, and Luna screamed in pain at each stab as the ground below them was stained with Slapstrike's purple blood.
After getting stabbed a few more times, Luna's eyes hardened in anger/determination as she laid her huge hands down on the ground and stretched out her arms as Slapstrike send her and a surprised Krixx flying through the air as they rammed into a building with Krixx taking the full brunt of the crash as the cat-like alien groaned and had dizzy eyes as she fell down on the ground. Groaning, Krixx shakily stood up from the ground as she rubbed her head and growled in anger as she was about to stab the transformed kid again, only for her eyes to widen in shock/horror as she saw Slapstrike standing in front of her with her large arms reared back as Luna then slammed her hands together and produced a large shockwave that hits Krixx's body and flings her through three buildings before crashing against a small truck as it instantly blew up and the shockwave from the explosion also took out any nearby Bounty Hunters as they were instantly knocked out.
"Alright, I had enough of this," Pysphon says to Greef Karga as the duo was watching the battle from the sidelines. "If your lousy Bounty Hunters can't help me obtain the Omnitrix, then I will do this myself," Pysphon says as Greef Karga frowned at the little jab but didn't say anything as Pysphon raised his gauntlet and pressed a few buttons on it as his R.E.D.'s suddenly started shaking and started slowly transforming into 9-feet-tall humanoid red mechanical robots as they crashed landed on the ground and surrounded Slapstrike as they pulled out all sorts of dangerous, lethal weapons as Luna took a couple of steps back warily, and Pysphon grinned at this as he laughed.
"Scared? You should be, little girl. These are my Dangerous Robotic Extermination Adaptive Devices or D.R.E.A.D. for short. It's a new upgrade that my Master Vilgax recommended to use if I ever come across you. These robots are able to adapt to your alien arsenal, so you better give up now, or else my Dread's will destroy you." Pysphon threatens as Slapstrike got a hold of her nerves and gripped her fists tightly as she glared at the white-skinned alien.
"Fat chance, Pysphon! I will never allow Vilgax to get his slimy tentacles on my Omnitrix! Not now, not ever!" Slapstrike yelled as she reared back her fists and stretched them out as they flew through the air and struck two Dreads head-on as Slaptrike managed to push them back a few feet, but they were otherwise unharmed by her attack as the Dreads grabbed onto her arms and, with an amazing amount of strength, managed to lift her up into the air as they twirled her around and tossed her away as a screaming Slapstrike smashing through two buildings before crashing onto the ground near the Mandalorian as she moans in pain.
"Kid! Are you alright?" Mando asked while running over to check on her as Jelal peeked over the Speeder and spotted the Omnitrix symbol on her forehead as the small alien baby recognized who she was and whimpered worriedly for his friend Luna as he looked over her sadly.
"I'm alright, boys. Just a little stunned." Slapstrike says to the worried boys reassuringly as she sits up and rubs her back as she groans. "Those robots just caught me off guard is all," Slapstrike says as Mando nods, and then the trio froze as they saw all of the Bounty Hunters, Dreads, Pysphon, and Greef Karga standing ahead of them as they all glared at them threateningly.
"You lost," Pysphon says matter-of-factly while still floating in his hover scooter as he placed his hands behind his back and gave them a stoic look. "Give up and hand over the little girl, Mandalorian," Pysphon ordered as Greef Karga stepped up and crossed his arms at the trio as he glared at them.
"And hand over the Child to me. If you try to stop us and save your new little friends, I will order my Bounty Hunters to kill you, Mando."
"And if they won't succeed in killing you, my Dread's will," Pysphon says confidently as Din stayed silent for a few moments before turning to Slapstrike as he gave her a grim look.
"This doesn't look good, kid. We're outnumbered and outgunned." Mando says as Slapstrike frowned but then perked up as she gained a confident look and punched her fists together.
"Don't worry, Mando, we can still take them. I will handle Pysphon and Dread's while you will handle-"
"Kid, I know that you're powerful, but not even you can handle an army. We have to face facts we're screwed." Din says truthfully as Slapstrike's shoulder sagged a bit in sadness at what he said.
"So, what? Do we just give up?" Slapstrike asked as Mando shakes his head and gave her a solemn look.
"No, transform into Wingspan, take the kid, and fly out of here. I will try to stall you guys for as long as I can." Din says as Slapstrike was horrified by what he says.
"What!? No! We won't leave you!" Slapstrike yelled with even Jelal looking like he wasn't on board with the idea as Mando gave her a stern look.
"This isn't up to debate, young lady. You're going to time out soon, so you need to use the remaining power you have to fly you and the Child far away from here." Mando says as Slapstrike gritted her teeth in anger and was about to object to the idea before gaining a new idea of her own as she grinned and shook her head.
"Sorry, Mando, but I have other plans," Slapstrike says while jumping out of the cover as she ran toward the army of villains.
"Kid, no, wait!" Mando yelled, terrified as he was about to leap out of cover to stop her, but then blinked in surprise as Slapstrike turned to him with a smirk.
"Mando, I have a confession to make. I haven't told you everything about what my Omnitrix could do," Slapstrike says before turning back to Pysphon, Greef Karga, and the rest of the group as she grinned at them cockily. "When I got lost in space, I figured out a neat little feature about my Omnitrix that might help us out here," Slapstrike says while reaching up to her forehead to grab the Omnitrix symbol as she rotated counter-clockwise, and the core popped out as she hovers her large hand over it. "You see, Mando, there's a time to alien up and there's a time to go...ultimate!" Slapstrike shouted as she slapped the core down and instantly her Omnitrix symbol unsheathed four spikes in a diagonal directional formation as Slapstrike's body was slowly consumed by a bright blue luminescent energy field and a big flash of light occurred as everyone covered their eyes and once the light dies down, everyone shocked to a newly evolved Slapstrike standing before them as she roared.
Slapstrike's body had changed drastically as she now stood around 12 feet tall with a smaller head that has one singular pupilless blue eye, three large pink horns on the top of her head, black markings on her face, a smaller mouth, huge hulking five-fingered purple arms that were nearly the size of a truck, purple skin, a more humanoid muscular body, large muscular purple four-toed legs, and her outfit consisted of a red samurai battle armor with a blue robe underneath as Slapstrike wore a small dark red samurai helmet with light red nape guards, dark red spiky shoulder pads with light red sleeve armors, a dark red chest plate with light red tassets, dark red knee pads, and light red flip flop as she has the Ultimate Omnitrix symbol located on her chest. Luna had now transformed into-
"Ultimate Slapstrike!" The newly-named Ultimate Slapstrike shouted while punching her large hands onto her chest like a gorilla as everyone stared at the newly evolved alien in shock/awe/horror.
"W-What is this!?" Greef Karga asked frightfully while taking a few steps back as even Pysphon looks spooked by what he saw.
"S-Since when did the child learn about the Evolutionary Function?" Pysphon asked in shock as he trembled at the sight of the hulking purple alien. "Oh, no, this is bad," Pysphon says nervously as Ultimate Slapstrike turned back to look at the shocked Din and the amazed Jelal as she smirked at them.
"Pretty cool, right?" Ultimate Slapstrike asked as Din didn't say anything but continued staring at her in awe as Ultimate Slapstrike chuckled at his shocked look.
"W-What? How?" Din asked as Ultimate Slapstrike smirked and pointed at her spiky Omnitrix symbol.
"It's a new feature in the Omnitrix that I found out about during my travels in space. It's called the 'Evolutionary Function'. The function works by placing the DNA of an alien in a simulated 'Survival of the fittest' type scenario, subjecting that alien DNA to the worst-possible threat over millions of theoretical years in order to 'force' evolution in its genetic code. The resultant evolutionary adaptations to this fictional threat scenario are then modified into the existing DNA of the selected alien, thus evolving it into what I like to call there, 'Ultimate Forms'." Ultimate Slapstrike explains as Din nodded to her explanation but still looked in shock by the overall transformation as Luna turned around and glared at the stunned Pysphon and the others as she gripped her fists tightly.
"Now, get Jelal and go to the ship. I will catch up once I dispose of these dipwads." Ultimate Slapstrike says as Din was snapped out of his shock and glared up at Luna sternly as he was about to protest, but didn't have enough time to say anything as Ultimate Slapstrike suddenly charges at the group of bad guys. Shaking his head, Pysphon composed himself as he turned back to his Dreads, Greef Karga, and the scared Bounty Hunters as he glared at them.
"Well? What are you waiting for, idiots? Attack her already!" Pysphon shouted as everyone flinched by his command but nodded hesitantly as they reluctantly charged into battle.
Three Dreads decided to group up on Ultimate Slapstrike as they crouched down in front of her and fired three grappling hooks that wrapped around Luna's arms as the Dread's then coated the lines with electricity as they started electrocuting the evolved alien. Ultimate Slapstrike barely flinched from the shocking attack...pun intended...as she grabbed onto the lines and pulled on them as she sends the surprised Dreads into the air and flings them towards her as Ultimate Slapstrike lets go of the lines, and reared back her large fist as she then slammed them onto the ground, easily crushed them against her giant hands as a small crater was made, and their mangled and broken robotic limbs could be seen from under Luna's giant hand. Four Human Bounty Hunters took cover as they pulled out their blasters and aimed them towards the purple-skinned alien as they opened fire on her...only for their jaws to drop in shock as the laser blasts bounced off her armor, and an annoyed Ultimate Slapstrike swiped at the air as she hurls a big gust of wind that collided against their cover and blew it up as she sends the Bounty Hunters flying away.
After taking out the Human Bounty Hunters, Ultimate Slapstrike turned around as she saw a now conscious Tetramand Bounty Hunter and a fully recovered Piscciss Volann Bounty Hunter, who had managed to get another respirator, running towards her as they leaped up and the four-armed alien reared back his fist to punch Luna's chest while the fish-like alien opened his large jaw to chop on her small head, but Ultimate Slapstrike won't let that happened as she bitch slapped Piscciss Volann Bounty Hunter away before turning to the male Tetramand Bounty Hunter as she lifts her left arm and suddenly her hand started spinning around rapidly like a drill as she threw a drill punch at the flying alien and produced a purple shockwave that sends the screaming Tetramand Bounty Hunter flying away as he crashed against a building on the other side of town.
Shocked and scared by the power that Ultimate Slapstrike possessed, all of the Bounty Hunters pulled out their blasters and opened fire on her as Luna quickly stopped spinning her hands and raised her huge arms to block the laser fire from hitting her body as she was pushed back a bit by the onslaught and gritted her teeth in effort as Ultimate Slapstrike turned her head and gasped as she realized that a few laser blasts almost hit Din and Jelal. Narrowing her eyes, Luna realized that she needed to take this fight elsewhere as she crouched down and used her powerful legs to leap in the air as she twists around in mid-air, and landed in the middle of Main Street as Pysphon and his Dreads turned to Ultimate Slapstrike as they ran towards her while the more cautious Greef Karga and his Bounty Hunters decided it was the better idea to attack Mando as they stayed behind to confront him.
Din dodged an energy blast from hitting his face as he glared at his former colleagues and turned to Jelal to make sure that he was safe before jumping out of cover as he pulled out his taser stick and saw a male Loboan Bounty Hunter splitting apart his muzzle as he was about to fire his sonic howling at him, but Din wouldn't let that happen as he ran towards him and struck his taser stick in his neck as he electrocuted him. The male Loboan Bounty Hunter howled in pain as he felt thousands of volts of electricity course through his body and went unconscious as he fell to the floor and Mando spotted two male Twi'lec Bounty Hunters raised their blasters as they fired on him, but Din thought quickly as he picked up the unconscious Bounty Hunter and used his body as a shield to protect himself.
Luckily, the Loboans were more resistant to injury than Din thought as the laser blasts didn't pierce through his body, but it wasn't exactly painless for the Bounty Hunter as he woke up from her mini-unconsciousness and growled at Twi'lec's angrily as he split apart his muzzle and fired a yellow soundwave at them that caused them to scream in pain and held their ears as Din quickly shoves his Loboan shield away, and he crashed against the screaming Bounty Hunters as they fell on the floor. After disposing of the trio, a volley of energy blasts rains down on Din as the Mandalorian was barely able to roll away to dodge the attacks and ran back towards the Speeder as he leaped inside just as the laser blasts struck the vehicle as Din panted heavily and noticed that the numbers on Greef Karga's side started dwindling, due to many Bounty Hunters running away in fear to not confront the Mandalorian and the Evolved Fistthunk as Din realized that this his chance to make a break for it and turned towards the Droid piloting the Speeder as he glared at him.
"Drive!" Din commanded as the Droid let out a scared beep and shakes his head as Mando glared at him and points his blaster at his face. "Drive!" Mando ordered threateningly as the reluctant Droid started up the Speed and started moving the hovering vehicle across the battlefield as Din pulls out his pulse rifle and started blasting every single Bounty Hunter or Droid he could see.
Ultimate Slapstrike narrowed her one eye at the Dreads surrounding her as Pysphon floated above them and commanded his robots to kill her as they eagerly obliged their master's wishes and charged at the Evolved Fistthunk as Ultimate Slapstrike let out a roar and sprinted towards the robotic minions as one of the Dreads leaped towards her while holding up his hand as it transformed into an electric-covered mace and was aiming to strike her small head as Luna was able to slap it away, but then Ultimate Slapstrike started panicking as more and more Dread appeared and started dog piling on her as they brought her to her knees and the other Dreads that were standing near her pulled out their energy guns as they started blasting her.
Feeling her body being blasted by various kinds of energy blasts, Ultimate Slapstrike roared in pain as she gritted her teeth in concentration and slammed her fists onto the ground, producing a mild purple shockwave that blew back the shooting Dreads as Luna then reached behind her to grab the Dread's that were hanging off of her back and crushed them in half under her grip as she threw them away. Panting heavily from the long battle, Ultimate Slapstrike turned back to the other Dread's as Luna realized that it was time to end the fight and lifts up her arms as her hands suddenly grew up to ridiculous proportions and Ultimate Slapstrike grunted as she threw down her fists onto the ground and created a huge purple shockwave that took out every single Dreads around her as well as a few unfortunate alien Bounty Hunters and some Droids.
"He, he, had...enough...bonehead?" Ultimate Slapstrike asked with a tired grin as Pysphon gritted his teeth in frustration, unable to believe that this little girl was able to able to defeat all of his Dread's with relative ease as he glared at her.
"Why you little-" Pysphon says as he was about to curse at her when suddenly he saw Ultimate Slapstrike's eyes drop down in tiredness as she moans and dropped to her knees as she crashed landed on the ground and closed her eyes as a flash of blue light occurred and Luna transformed back to Slapstrike before another flash of blue appeared as Luna transformed back into her human form. "Oh, interesting. It seems that the Evolutionary Function drains the user of their energy once the transformation is over. Good to know." Pysphon says with a sinister grin as he started flying down towards the unconscious ten-year-old girl and was about to grab her, but then-
"I don't think so!" Din shouted while riding in on his Speeder as he pulled out his blaster and sends out an energy blast between him and Luna, spooking him as Pysphon reflexively took a couple of steps back and couldn't react to stop the Mandalorian as Din flew in and grabbed onto the unconscious Luna as he boarded her inside and flew a few feet away from Pysphon as he then skidded the Speeder to a full stop and Din turned around to check on Luna. "Kid, are you alright?" Din asked worriedly as Luna groaned and opened her eyes as she smiled at him.
"Yeah, I'm alright. Just tired." Luna says as Din nodded and Jelal crawled over to his friend as the little alien pats her cheek as if giving her comfort as Luna smiled at him appreciatively.
"Grrr!" Pysphon growled in annoyance as he turned to Greef Karga, who was hiding behind a barrel as the white-skinned alien glared at him furiously. "Shoot down that Speeder! Don't let them get away!" Pysphon ordered as Greef Karga nodded grimly and pulled out his blaster as he aimed at the Droid driving the Speeder.
"Mando, look out!" Luna yelled, spotting Greef Karga aiming his blaster at them as Din saw this as well and cursed as he was about to order the Droid to drive off when suddenly Jelal let out a loud cry as a worried Din and Luna turned to him and saw the green-skinned alien baby pointing up as the duo look to where he was pointing, and their jaws dropped in shock as they saw hundreds of Mandalorians flying from the sky with the help of their jetpacks as they arrived in Main Street and pulled out their weapons as they started blasting everyone, except for the trio, away as the startled Bounty Hunters tried to fight back, but were failing horribly as Greef Karga looks around stoically and decided that it was best to retreat as he flees.
"Wow! I have never seen so many Mandalorians before! Are they your friends or something?" Luna asked Din curiously as Paz Vizsla landed beside them and pulled out his wrist-mounted machine gun as he started giving the trio some cover by blasting any closeby Bounty Hunter.
"Kind of yeah," Din says vaguely as Paz turned to them and gave the trio a stern look.
"Get outta here! We'll hold them off!" Paz shouted as Luna nodded while Din gave him a solemn look.
"You're going to have to relocate the covert," Din says as Luna stared at him curiously for what he said, but decided that it really wasn't the best time to ask questions as Luna turned towards the Droid piloting their vehicle and started giving him commands to fly towards the Razor Crest while also giving him the coordinates to get there.
"This is the way," Paz answered back bluntly as Din grinned and nodded.
"This is the way," Din repeated as Luna finished giving the Droid the coordinates to Mando's ship, and the Speeder immediately took off towards the outskirts of the city while Paz stayed behind to help his fellow Mandalorians buy the trio enough time to escape.
"No, wait! Stop!" Pysphon shouted as he tried to reach out his hand in vain to stop the Speeder but was too late as it disappeared into the night. Growling in anger, Pysphon was about to summon more of his R.E.D.'s to cut them off...only to remember that Luna and the Mandalorian destroyed them all as Pysphon gripped his fists angrily and glared at the fleeing form of the Speeder as he narrowed his eyes at the trio sitting on it. "This isn't over, Mandalorian, and Omnitrix Wielder. I shall soon return to collect what my Master Vilgax rightfully deserves, and once the Omnitrix is in his possession, the universe will soon tremble against the true power of Vilgax the Conqueror!" Pysphon yelled dramatically before screaming like a little girl as a female Mandalorian nearly shoots his face off and quickly turns around to run away as he made his way towards his ship.
Back with the trio, we see Din, Luna, and Jelal driving through the town as they dodge the laser fire that was shot from both the Mandalorians and the Bounty Hunters as they eventually reached the Razor Crest and Din wasted no time in lifting his gauntlet as he pressed a few buttons, and the hatch of the ship began opening as the walkway appeared. Grabbing onto Jelal, Luna leaped out of the Speeder as she ran towards the Razor Crest, and Din, who had blasted the Droid apart with his blaster, quickly followed after her as they boarded the ship and were about to climb up onto the cockpit, but stopped as Din and Luna felt someone jumping down from above and landed behind them as they turned around and saw an angry Greef Karga glaring at them as he was pointing his blaster at them.
"Hold it, Mando. I didn't want it to come to this. But then you broke the Code." Greef Karga, feeling truly sorry for what he was about to do as the middle-aged man was about to kill Mando in cold blood, but Din thought quickly as he shoots his grappling hook into a pipe which sprays out fumes that covered the entire ship as it blinded everyone onboard.
"Come on, seriously, Mando? Why can't you ever make things easy?" Greef Karga complained as he reluctantly walks forward to blindly look around for Mando when suddenly he heard a shuffle beside him as he turned around and saw an outline of Din's body standing before him as Greef Karga grinned and pointed his blaster at Din's head. "Sorry, Mando, but this is just business." Greef Karga says as he pulls the trigger and shot out a laser blast that zooms towards Din's head...and phased through it as it harmlessly hits a wall. "What the!?" Greef Karga asked confusedly as he suddenly heard a cough down below and looked down as he saw a grinning Luna and Jelal smirking up at him as the young Earthling was holding a pipe in her hand.
"This is for trying to sell me to Vilgax, asshole!" Luna shouted as she gripped her new weapon tightly and swung it as she strikes Greef Karga's private parts, causing the middle-aged man to kneel over in pain as he whimpered and tears leaked out of his eyes as he glared at a smirking Luna and was about to blaster her, but then Mando appears as he wordlessly blasted Greef Karga across his chest and sends him flying off the Razor Crest as he crashed landed outside.
"Nice work, kid, now come on, we're leaving this place," Din says as Luna smiled and nodded as she, Din, and Jelal climbed up to the cockpit and went into their respective seats as Mando turned on his ship and grabbed onto the controls as the Razor Crest slowly floated off the ground before taking off into the night as it disappeared. Greef Karga, who had remained motionless on the ground, suddenly shots up as he panted heavily and checks his body for injuries only to find nothing as Greef Karga raises an eyebrow and wondered how the hell he was alive...until he realized that the bars of Beskar and the small pieces of Taydenite protected him from the fatal blow, but were destroyed in the process as Greef Karga silently mourns at the loss of his money.
"Well, that was fun," Luna says cheerfully while lying against her chair exhaustedly as she was tired from the intense battle and had suffered a few injuries as her body was covered in bruises and had a sharp pain in her back from all of the stab wounds that Krixx gave her. Luna was thankful that she was able to heal from that injury thanks to Slapstrike's enhanced healing factor, but it was way too slow for Luna's liking as the wounds were only partially healed by the time she changed back into her human form.
"Yeah, fun." An equally tired Din says as he laid against his chair and sighs heavily as he lazily turned his head and saw a random Mandalorian flying by in his jetpack as he saluted the trio before flying off as Din watched him go jealously. "I gotta get one of those someday," Mando says to Luna and Jelal as the human girl nodded in agreement.
"Me too," Luna says as Din raised an eyebrow at her in confusion.
"Can't you already fly?" Mando asked as Luna blinks and smiled sheepishly.
"Oh, yeah, I can," Luna says, rather smugly as Din rolled his eyes at her playfully.
"Well, at least when I get a jetpack, I will able to fly more than a measly ten minutes." Din countered as Luna pouted at him and was about to make a sarcastic comeback when suddenly a loud thud rang from above as Din, Luna, and Jelal jumped in surprise by the sudden sound as they looked up.
"Oh, what now?" Din asked in exasperation as Krixx suddenly appears by the window, and everyone flinched back in shock at her sudden appearance as she glared at them, mostly at Luna, furiously.
"LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, LUNA LOSS! BEARER OF WHAT I NOW KNOW ITS CALLED THE OMNITRIX! IF YOU THINK KRIXX IS GOING TO LET YOU OFF THE HOOK FOR HURLING KRIXX THROUGH A COUPLE OF BUILDINGS LIKE A PEBBLE, THEN YOU HAVE ANOTHER THING COMING!" Krixx shouted in absolute fury as Luna groaned at seeing the familiar cat-like alien again, and Din prepared himself to blast her off of his ship as Jelal noticed his friend's discomfort with having the large kitty around and grew angry as he looked up at Krixx and lifts his hand as a concentrated look appeared on his face. "SO, YOU BETTER OPEN UP THE HATCH AND COME OUT OF HERE, SO I CAN KICK YOUR SCRAWNY-Wait, what's going on?" Krixx yells before blinking in confusion as she felt some sort of force lifting her up from the ship and before she could react, was flung away as a roaring Krixx falls down below.
Din and Luna slowly blink in surprise at what just happened as they vaguely hear Krixx screaming out something about beating up gravity, but Luna and Din paid her no mind as they turned towards a proud-looking Jelal, and the little alien baby boy cooed at them innocently as Din and Luna snorted and started laughing at what just happened as Luna grabbed onto Jelal and gave him a grateful hug while Mando unscrews the knob from his leaver as he handed it over to Jelal, as a reward to getting rid of the annoying Appoplexian as Jelal beams happily and grabbed onto the knob as he began gnawing on it. The Mandalorian and the Omnitrix Wielder smiled at this briefly as Luna gave a happy Jelal a kiss on his head while Din turned back to the controls as they breached Nevarro's atmosphere and appeared in space as Din wasted no time in activating the hyperdrive and Razor Crest disappeared into Hyperspace.
"Man, I'm glad that's over." Luna thought to herself in relief while leaning against her chair as she saw her alien friend jumping out of her lap and running towards the dashboard to sit beside the Mandalorian as Jelal started messing around with the ship's buttons, much to his annoyance as Din tries to stop him, but it just encourages Jelal to press more buttons as Luna smiled at this amusedly before growing serious as she looked out of the window with a grim look on her face.
"I don't know what the future is in store with us. We're all pretty much wanted fugitives by this point. I'm thousands of light-years away from home, and what's worse is that Vilgax is back and wants to get my Omnitrix again." Luna thought to herself solemnly as she sighs heavily and turned to look at the boys as she saw Din placing Jelal onto his lap to stop him from pressing any more buttons, and the little alien seems to be liking his new seat as Jelal was able to get a good view of Hypserpsace, eliciting an amazed ooh to come out of his mouth as Din rolled his eyes at this, but smiled amusedly under his helmet as Luna smiled at this cute scene warmly. "But...at least I'm grateful that I don't have to go through this alone," Luna thought to herself happily as she suddenly felt drowsy and slumped against her seat as all of the adrenaline from the earlier fight instantly disappeared as Luna yawned and slowly went to sleep as the Razor Crest continued flying across Hyperspace.
"Oh, this was such a disaster," Pysphon says while pacing around in his lab, near his computer as his ship was currently flying in space, far away from Nevarro as Pysphon bits his lip nervously. "Master Vilgax won't like it when he finds out that I lost possession of the Omnitrix."
"You did what!?" A loud, sinister, deep voice rang out as Pysphon jumped in shock and turned around as his eyes widen in deep fear as his computer drizzled a bit before showing a video of a large shadowy figure hidden behind the darkness as only his red haunting eyes could be seen. "Pysphon...there better be a good explanation for this." Pysphon's Master ordered while narrowing his eyes at him as the old Yardack laughed nervously and took a couple of steps back as he looks very hesitant to tell his Master what happened on planet Nevarro.
