46 The True Mandalorian (1/2)
---Coruscant Two days after meeting with Jedi---
Jack was relaxed and very confident. He was waiting in the training room of Mandalorian embassy on the arrival of the Dutchess. He had received a report about an hour ago informing him of her arrival. So for the past hour he had been meditating and gathering the force.
Shaak Ti had been at his side for the past hour gently rubbing his shoulders and back. Jack was going in to this battle bare. The only thing he was wearing was combat pants. His upper body was bare fully showing all the blaster and lightsaber scars he had received over the years. His body was well toned as well muscle rippled over his torso, and his arms where almost as big as his thighs.Gone was the young naive 16 year old boy. Here stood Mand'lor leader of soon to be all Mandalorians in the galaxy.
Shaak Ti was quite as she ran her fingers along some of the scars on his back. Some women may find this marks a bit unsettling, but not her. Her spices evolved from predators so battle was in their blood. His scars were things she had always seen as very sexy. They only added to the love she felt for the man.
Jack and Shaak stay like this for another ten minutes before a Mandalorian guard came in to announce the arrival of The Dutchess and her entourage. Jack nodded then went back to his mediation
Shaak Ti took this moment to gather his armor and weapons and place them off to the side.
Within moments the Dutchess and her group entered the room. The elders moved to seats provided by Jack. As the Dutchess moved to the center of the room with another Mandalorian in full battle dress.
The Dutchess spoke first, ”As is custom I have arrived at the place you have desired at the time you have placed. With me I bring Pre Vizsla current leader of the Deathwatch of Mandlor.” Jack raised and eyebrow, ”Deathwatch...thought you kinda scattered when we killed your old leader almost 5 years ago.”
Even with the helmet on Jack could hear the anger in Pre Vizsla voice, ”I am here to repay the blood debt, and though we do not agree with Satine we will fight to bring all Mandalorians to heel. Oh and it help that I was told after the fight I would be able to kill you after I won, can't have your followers rallying behind you after you have been defeated.” Again Jack was surprised well not really, ”Dutchess seeing how you added conditions to our battle without my notice know that the consequences after the battle ends will be double I do not forgive deception and deceit when it comes with our traditions.”
With Shaak Ti dealing with the Dutchess Jack took this moment to stand. He towered over Pre Vizsla at 2.1 meters to his 1.8. ” Where is your armor Mandalorian”, Pre Vizsla asked with a sneer. ”For the likes of you no armor will be required. Enough talk I have very important things to do after this.”
With that Jack struck out using the power of the force to enhance his movements and power he hit the Mandalorian square in the chest denting the chest plate as Vizsla was sent flying to the other side of the room. Before he hit the wall he used his jet pack to regain his balance as he struggled to catch his breath.
He drew his blasters and began firing at Jack. His aim while deadly in most situations was off do to the sheer amount of pain he was currently in. Jack did not even dodge the shots as he slowly started walking towards the wounded warrior. Vizsla was struggling to correct his aim as the monstrous man walked ever closer.
On shot found purchase as it graced his left shoulder burning part of the skin off, but Jack was un phased in his walk. He dusted his damaged shoulder, ”Hmm that ticked a bit, but if you want to live I suggest you try harder than that.” Once again calling upon the force Jack seemed to appear right in front of Vizsla and knocking both blasters out of the man's hands, right before kicking the man in the right shin.
