13 Burn it All (1/2)
It had been normally loud evening in Archorhead. The hutts and black suns had been fighting just south of the city, and it had been getting progressively worse by the day. This night however something felt off to the natives of Tatooine. Like the clam before the storm, and if any one person would have looked up in the sky south of where the battle had been raging. They would have spotted a larger number of troop transports entering the atmosphere.
The transports silently entered the battle field just south of the hutt forces. As the transports made land fall, all of the troopers jumped out and headed to predetermined positions. The Hutts never suspected enemy forces to appear behind them. Let alone that the enemy would be a Mandlorain army. Considering most of the galaxy only saw mandlorians as guns for hire.
Just before midnight with the three moons high in the sky they mandlorians attacked in full force. The hutt forces had just started to wined down for the night in their camp when the attack happened. The mandlorians attacked from all sides, snipers on a near by ridge killed anyone of the hutt troops that ran away from the battle. While shock and heavy mandlorian troops caught the hutts in a hammer and anvil style attack. Forcing the hutts to try and regroup near the black sun strong hold. The black suns having noticed the battle in the hutt camp cheered believing they were final being reinforced.
They continued believing that right until Canderous-class assault tanks started taking shoots at the fortress. With both forces taken by surprise the mandlorians continued landing more and more troops soon most of the 15,000 had entered the battle in one form or another. Well atlest the normal troops had, the commando on the other hand where still in orbit. This was about to change ,however as the 80 commando did final checks on their modified basilisk war droids.
Sharia had informed each group of an objective they need to compete before they would all meet up at the spaceport. Jack's group would need to fly down and take out the heavy blaster cannons on the black suns' fortress to take some pressure off of the main forces. After that they would need to head to Archorhead and locate Watto and meet the others at the space port.
This had work out just fine for Jack as getting a hold of Watto had become all of the commandos true objectives which was keep from Sharia. When Jack asked where she would be she simply told them she would be meeting with a mandlorian informant before meeting them at the space port.
No Jack was worried for the other commandos he did not know what objectives Sharia had given them but he knew what ever it was it wasn't going to be easy. All he could do was pray that they would make it through with all of their people. returning his focus to the count down his grip on the controls tighten. ”10, 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1....dropping ...dropping”
The war droids were shot at the planet with intense speed and precision. Inside Jack could feel every bump and joint the droid was experiencing and it was exhilarating. However they had a job to do so switching over to his platoon com net he sent a message telling everyone to form up on him and prepare for their attack run.
On the ground a mandlorain sniper team hidden on a ridge takes pop shots at any hutt or black suns forces they can see. In the middle of their fun the got a call across coms. ”Any recon team on this net, this is Demon dog actual need lase on heavy blaster cannon for attack run, how copy.” The lead sniper quickly responded, ” Demon dog actual, this is recon 3 we read you loud and clear setting up for lase we will guide you on target how copy?” ”Thats a good copy Demon dog out.”
The team quickly sets up the laser designation device taking aim at the 6 heavy cannons taking shots at anything out side of the fortress. No sooner had they done that had they heard the scream of an object breaking the sound barrier, as 20 war droids fly over head. Taking aim with their heavy ion and blaster cannons the 20 war droids completely shredded they 6 cannons. Taking this chance to cause a bit more chaos Jack leads his platoon on an other attack run on the fortress it self.
Dropping ion bombs they destroy most of the fortress auto defense turrets they fly off heading to Archorhead. Leaving compete destruction in there wake as the hutt forces took advantage of the fortress now lack of defense to try ,and get inside if only to have to face an enemy one front for a time. Jack's platoon now just north of Archorhead touched down in a field on the outskirts of the city as to not draw too much attention on to themselves.
After coving their war droid in a ray shield they move in a spread wedge formation towards Wattos last known location. A local club and spicy den called Shnooks, Jack and his group had only been a few blocks away when they landed so they arrived at the building with out much issue. At this point Jack had Trish and her squad fan out and take up security ,and took Keith and three of his men inside to secure the target.
As the enter all movement from the patrons ceased, which is to be expected when what looks like five heavy armed mandlorains bounty hunters enters any building. Walking through the establishment Jack and Keith eye up ever person they come across. Of course they could simply walk right up to Watto and grab him, but these two couldn't help but want to show off a bit. (A/N I mean come on who wouldn't want to act like a badass in front of people who don't know you)
Making their way over to Watto who had his back turn away from them at the bar. Jack nods at Keith, and the man grabs Watto by the should and turns him around saying,” Watto...Watto the junk dealer from Mos Espa..Your coming with us.” In a voice that almost sounded like Jango Fetts. It took everything in Jacks power not to start laughing as he watched Wattos' eyes go huge as he stuttered through a response. ” Th...th...this must be some mistake...I..I.was told I would be able to pay Jabba in a week for the two slaves...its only been 6 days...I still have a day right...come on fellas give me a break here.”
