13 Burn it All (2/2)

The moment Watto had said slaves Jack immediately turned to Keith, being the man's best friend Keith knew what his friend wanted to do. ” No it became 7 days and hour ago so we are here to collect the slaves and bring you to the space port so we can go meet with Jabba. Now get up and move.” Dragging Watto by the neck Keith pulled the man from the bar as his wings flapped violently in every direction. Screaming like a stuck pig the man yelled for help right up until Keith shoved a blaster in his face and asked where are the slaves.

Watto explained that they were in his hotel next to the spaceport Jack nodded and threw a bag over his head as the headed out the door. Seeing her friends exit unharmed Trish had her squad reform as they headed to the space port. Jack informed her what they had learned on the way, when they received a call over the com. ” Jack...Jack come in its Hans we are pinned down just south of your position we need some support.”

” What the hell are they doing south of us.” Trish stated, and Jack also wanted to know as their shouldn't be anything of strategic worth to the south. He would find out answers later for now he need to help Hans and his men out. Jack told Keith to take his squad to the hotel near the spaceport and secure Anakin and Shmi then wait for them there.

Jack took Trish and her squad south to provide support for Hans and his men. Moving quickly they soon hear the sounds of blaster fire just ahead of them so Jack radios Hans to get the enemy position. ” Hans...I am here we are to your west where are you taking fire from...” At first Jack got no response then the com came to life.” The platoon leader was hit we are patching him up now but if you don't take out the guys shooting at us to our north we are going to have more casualties.”

Jack nodded at Trish then took off running north of them just as they about to round a corner.Trish spotted what looked like other Mandlorains using a blaster turret mounted on a speeder to keep Hans' group pinned down. There also looked to be about 25 others taking pop shots at Hans' group. Jack had everyone line up a shot. Using the force Jack slowly moved the speeder so that the gunner would be in line with Jacks shot.

Just as The gunner came into view Jack and the other in sync fired off one shot everyone killing their mark. With Jack killing the gunner and the person that had been right beside him. With that the gun fight finally broke out. Though Jack and the others had taken out 11 people that still left 14 others. Weaving in and out of the side alleys that lined the street Jack slowly made his way to the enemy.

Trish and her people provide suppressing fire cause the other group to take cover from the blaster bolts. Two however did not make it in time and where riddled with bolts before their bodies hit the ground. Hans' group seeing the pressure on them had been relived charged forward driving them into a near by building.

During the enemies retreat one of them fell behind and screamed for help from one of his comrades. They however ignored him and ran inside and sealed the door. The man pounded on the door screaming to let him in but he received no response. Jack walked up to the man his metal boots making soft impact sounds in the sand. The man finally notices Jacks presents and quickly turned around with a vibroblade. ” I want to challenge your leader in one on one combat if I win you let me go.”

Jack laughed,” And what do I get if I win seeing how I will claim your life if you lose it had better be something good.” The man panic then he remember something. ” I know the hanger number for a republic prototype Kom'rk-class fighter its on a data pad in the building you can get it afterwords win or lose.” Well this was a nice surprise that transport ship was better than the current versions they had been fielding taking that back to earth would be a great boon.

Jack slowly took out the Beskad he had attached to his pack, ” I accept kill me and go free, but I don't think thats going to happen. The man ran at Jack with the blade held high and swung down with all his strength. Jack merely deflected the blade to his left side, taking a step to the right jack sent a kick to the mans gut, and watched the man keel over holding his stomach.

When the man final go up any manner of technique he might have had went out the window as the man swung wildly in all direction. Jack dodged left, right,and back moving effortlessly. Waiting for the man to tire himself out. When the moment came and the man lowered his body Jack quickly swung his beskad between his neck and head separating the two. With one swift motion he swung off any blood and returned his blade to his back before turning to the building. The mans body hung in the air as if still trying to process what happened, before his head left his body and they both dropped like a sack of rocks.

Jack looked at the building he didn't have the man power or the time to try and clear it out, just as he was thinking about what to do Hans walked up to him. The man had a burn mark that covered half of his face but he looked like he could still continue the mission. ” Hans did your objective involve anything inside this building.” Hans looked at the building then shook his head no. ” Good ” Jack turned to Trish and her group,” Burn it all...if the Fighter is in the hanger we will find it when we get there.”

And just like that the opposing mandlorains were burned alive. Any that came running out of the building were meet with blaster bolts. After insuring the blaze could not be stopped Jack turned his group toward the spaceport at a double time. They had places to be and people to kill.
