Pzob. A planet ravaged by constant civil warfare as power hungry warlords attempted to take control over the planet’s many natural resources. A place that many planets of the galaxy considered it to be a wasteland, a backwater planet. In turn, it had become a place that could be a haven for those that wanted to be out of the galaxy’s public eye. Those that wished to engage in practices that many in the galaxy thought to be disgusting and a thing of the past.

One of these practices could be considered more predatory than most. Slavery, a thing that only existed freely on these backward, nowhere planets any more. Most planets had completely abolished the practice at this point, yet planets like Pzob thrived on the economy. As children’s parents’ died in the wars, they were left to their own devises, and would inevitably end up in one of the many slaver camps spread out around the planets surface. It was a disgusting, predatory practice, but the slavers paid off the local warlords, so everyone kept to their own business.

Thankfully, there were those that were off world that wished to put an end to these types of practices. Contracts, put up to the bounty hunters that had a heart, gave the kill order on many of these slavers. Most of the time, these contracts also stipulated that the slaves be rescued as well, as they were susceptible to be captured once again if left to their own devises. It was noble cause, one that paid well enough, making it worth it on both facets.

This was the description of the contract that Galaar had taken. Wipe out the slavers of a small camp on the planet’s southern hemisphere, rescue the slaves, then collect the large stack of credits waiting for him. However, the contract already had another interested party, and instead of giving it to both of them separately, the contract holder, probably in fear that the hunters would get reckless in their fight to beat out the other and hurt some of the slaves, gave it to both of them and stipulated they must work together.

It wasn’t exactly ideal for the Mandalorian, as he knew next to nothing about the woman who had been paired up with him. All he had been given was a last name, Monroe. The hunters were left to their own devises to figure out everything else. It was in their best interest to work together as well, as the contract holder had made sure to make it clear he was willing to make the payout smaller if there was any sense of foul play.

To do this, Galaar had set up a meeting point for him and the woman, a kilometer from where the slaver camp was. The meeting point was a smaller clearing, large enough to land two smaller ships, and was encircled by trees. The Mandalorian had been sure to arrive early, check the surrounding area for any patrols, before making his way back to the clearing and await the arrival of the fellow hunter. With his helmet under his arm, EE-3 strapped to his back, he might give off a relaxed vibe. But once the job got started, there would be no relaxation.

These slavers were some vile, disgusting people. If Galaar had his way, they would all suffer a very painful death. He could only hope his fellow hunter would feel the same.

Cory was not okay with any of this, but the money was far too good to turn down, never mind the opportunity to squash a few slavers in the process. The Liberator circled above the rendezvous point, cloaked but her new comrade would be able to hear it.


Sensors swept the area. Better to trust her own eyes, ears and guts than get killed relying on another. Not exactly team player attitude but she knew sqaut about this man the contractor had lined her up with. She did however, know the clan name and that made her doubly cautious.


She did not trust Mandalorians. She wore the armour and spoke the language and was raised as one. But she was never really one of them.


The sleek black hull unveiled itself as she brought The Liberator down to land. "Lockdown once I'm out."


"Affirmative." Came the cool reply of the ship's computer.


She descend the ramp, helmet clipped the her waist along with her batons, a couple of grenades and a simple slugthrower.


"Su'cuy" she greeted with a nod. Eyes skimming over him looking for any hint of the white and red symbol of them empire.

Galaar watched, more heard, the ship encircling his location before actually descending. He didn’t mind, knowing that neither hunter trusted the other extremely at this point. That was to be expected, though the man did hope that they could work together. This was a relatively easy contract, one that he hoped wouldn’t become complicated due to having to work with another.

He stood, stoic at the edge of the clearing, watching as the surprisingly younger hunter descended down the ramp, wearing her own suit of Beskar’gram. Much like him, she wore her helmet on her belt, which gave him a chance to look her face over. Even if she was younger, which could be observed easily, she held herself with confidence, like a hunter. She even proceeded to offer him a mando’a greeting, one that earned her a raising of the eyebrow from the taller man.

“Jate vaar'tuur.” His words were as emotionless as hers, though he did give her small nod of respect back. She looked like she could handle herself, which was good, since Galaar had no intentions of covering her back the entire time. With quick, formal introducitons out of the way, the man removed his helmet from under his arm, fastening it to his head with a snap, and a his as the seal was made.

Turning, the man proceeded into the tree line, beginning to make his way through the dense forest to the way to the encampment. As the pair proceeded forward, he spoke again, the voice modulator changing the tone of his voice to one a bit more robotic, more stoic, even if trudging through the bushes and fallen branches was endurance testing. “I hadn’t had a chance to scout out the camp before you got here. Though, with two hunters here, very little should be able to stop us. If you are worth you salt.” He smirked lightly, continuing to make this way through the bushes. “Just remember. Naas kar'galan, ne trikar, ne kar'aray.”

Straight to business and no Empire stamp on him anywhere. Good, they could definitely work together. So long as he didn’t put two and two together and connect her surname with the name of the woman who not only cause the destruction of their homeworld but tried to then rule it again, they would be totally fine.

Sliding her own helmet into place she followed after him. “No need to scout, this group use the same layout for all their camps. Slaves in the centre, without shelter. They call it a pit. Everything else from the slavers sleeping tents to food and weapons and surrounding them. Fixed guards will be at posts on four corners with patrols outside the tent line and around the slave pit. I’ve been attacking these shabuirs for months.”

The tree line began to thin and they took a knee in the undergrowth. “Worth my salt yet?” she muttered as they assessed the camp from the shadows.

When they got the clearing, the woman had her own chance to speak, surprising the older hunter slightly with her knowledge of the area surround the camp, as well as what was to be expected. It shouldn’t have surprised him, since he had no true idea what this woman was doing with her life outside of these hunts, and had probably hunted these slavers before, but her knowledge of them in detail was a nice surprise indeed. “Bal’ban. Jate bora.” He responded, kneeling beside her slowly. His viewfinder slowly rotated downward in front of his right eye, giving him a much clearer vision of the camp through the finder’s enhanced darkness vision.

“Ori’chaab’la demagolkas…” He muttered under his breath, observing the slavers below them in the clearing laugh and jeer at the men and women trapped in the pit in the middle of their camp. Everything was just as the other hunter said. All four corners were being covered by the towers, meaning they would either have to be extremely careful when slipping into the camp, or just take the camp by surprise by attacking outright. Either one had it’s potential advantages and disadvantages. But both would require fighting and killing somewhere close to 20 to 30 slavers from what Galaar could observe.

He took a few moments observing their patrol patterns before speaking once again, this time speaking in basic in a hushed tone. “This whole clearing offers us very little cover..it would probably serve us well to either create some sort of distraction…or sneak into the camp, taking them out one by one quietly.” His head turned to the shorter, younger hunter, looking her up and down momentarily before speaking once again. “Since I do not know your skills…which would fit what you can do better, evaar’la beroya?”

Cory scanned the camp, grunting her agreement to the Fett's feelings about them. Cowards, monsters, creatures with no regard for other lifeforms. They needed to be eradicated. As easy as it would be to create a distraction and extract their target, the sight if the slaves made her blood boil.


"We can do both." She said, smirking to herself. "I can distract them while you slip in and start slitting throats. Be careful though ba'buir, wouldn't want you to lose out on your share." She patted him on the shoulder as she slipped behind him through the underbrush, and moves to the other side of the camp. If her calculations were correct, this was the munitions tent. If she was wrong it was the mess hall and a lot of slavers would be eating.



She picked an incendiary grenade from her belt and tossed it to the tent. The initial explosion bathed her in warmth. She moved away coming out of the underbrush with her slugthrower held high, ready to pick them off when a second explosion shook the ground.


Oh good, it was the munitions tent.


She cracked off a couple of shots drawing their attention. She dove for the underbrush when blaster fire began streaking her way, taking cover behind trees.

Galaar allowed the woman to speak, and hurry off on her own with a slight smile on his face. She reminded him of some of the younger verds back home on Hoylin, full of life, ready for a battle wherever they could find one. The other warrior was certainly an interesting one, and the middle aged man couldn’t complain about the company on this mission, knowing that there were certainly much worse hunters out there that could have taken this contract.

He watched for a moment as she hurried down toward the camp, before slowly slinking out of the underbrush and made his way down to the opposite side of the encampment. If she was going to be making lots of noise and distracting them, he had better be in place before she started doing so. Though he doubted that she would weight for him whatsoever, another thought that had him lightly smiling.

The Mandalorian slowly made his way into the camp, slowly weaving his way through the tents in a crouched manner. His boots crunched softly against the ground as he moved, effectively hiding his movements from any nearby listeners. While maneuvering his way through the encampment, pushing his way deeper and deeper into enemy territory, he reached up to pull a curved knife from strapped across his chest, flipping it back and forth in his hand.

His movements eventually lead him to settle behind a large tent, which was what he assumed to be the mess hall area. There he waited, until the explosion toward the front of the camp sent what slavers had been eating in tent sprinting in that direction. The girl had a knack for getting attention, that was for sure. It took pulling a stake from the ground, but Galaar was able to pull the cover up and over his head as he slipped inside.

Inside the tent resided two very drunk men, obviously not taking seriously what might be going on outside. He flipped the knife upside down in his hand, holding it by the tip of the blade as he slowly stood, raised the blade behind his head, then sent it flying toward the one of the pair holding an actual blaster pistol. The knife buried itself into the man’s cranium, and before the other knew what happening, he had an armored Mandalorian sprinting towards him. Galaar dipped under a sloppy punch attempt, quickly sliding behind the man and taking his back, sliding his arm underneath the slavers chin, and fell backward, effectively putting him in a body triangle. The armored mando leaned back on the ground, choking the life from the man, until he felt him go limp in his arms.

Galaar made to crank his choke in for a few more seconds before slowly releasing the slaver, his lifeless body flopping to the ground beside him. He exhaled, sitting up, then standing to retrieve his knife from the other lifeless body. Wiping whatever brain and blood was left on the blade onto the side of his armor, his attention focused onto the front of the camp, wondering how the younger verd was holding out.

"Find her and kill her."

"She went this way."

"No, she didn't she went this wa-"

The slug tore open his throat before the last syllable completed, she kept moving, keeping low and hidden in the underbrush while blaster fire ripped every which way. She swung hard at the back of a set of knees, bringing the slaver down, she struck him once across the throat, then cracked the bottom of the baton on his forehead in a fast one-two motion.

"Where is she?!"

The voice came from behind her, she turned rose from the undergrowth and rattled off another slug into the side of another slavers head, he dropped and so did she, as they came running, blasters toasting everything above her. She moved again, trusting the chaos to cover the rustling underbrush.

"ENOUGH! HOLD YOUR FIRE!" that, was no doubt big boss man, or second big boss man. "Idiots!" Cory switched her HUD to infrared and looked around, she counted eight but numbers didn't interest her half as much as shutting up the smart one. "We know you're out there. You have a choice, show yourself or we smoke you out."

There.

Cory called back, pulling the pin on a second incendiary grenade. "I rather like the idea of a little fire."

She tossed it in a high arc, straight for the speaker.

He could hear the commotion coming from the front of the camp, no doubt being spurred on by the blonde Mandalorian throwing them in to chaos. She was a curious one, with how she both spoke and seemingly understood Mandalorian culture. However, something was seemingly off about her, something that Galaar couldn’t put his finger on. This was neither the time nor the place to find out more about her, however, especially as she was taking all of the fire for him.

The Mandalorian slowly proceeded out of the tent, combat knife in hand, and DE-10 pistol in the other. All of the guards were very preoccupied apparently with the woman at the front of the camp, so he began to proceeding toward that direction. Along his way there, he passed alongside the massive hole that Connory had mentioned beforehand, the people inside being those that they had been sent to rescue. He dared not peer over the side, in case doing so would cause any sort of ruckus. He instead continued forward, until he was only a few camp tents away from the dwindling force of slavers.

It was almost lucky that he had stayed that far away. As he glanced around the edge of the tent, he was almost blown back by the surprise and heat of the incendiary grenade going off. Once he had shaken off the shock, his eyes focused back on the spot where the grenade had gone off, only to find that the area was quickly becoming a large fire. The tents were extremely flammable, and the incendiary grenade had unfortunately hit near one of the cloth coverings.

The fire started to rage as he quickly holstered his knife and his pistol, pulling the EE-3 off his back. There was no point in being stealthy at this point. This needed to be ended quickly as to get the slaves out of here before the fire got much more out of hand. Knowing this, he took aim at a couple of slavers, who were still focused on firing into the bushes, and quickly pulled the trigger, killing both. Galaar hoped Connory understood the urgency of the situation and finished off the rest of them with him.

The incendiary scattered them, the death of their leader left the confused. Slaver’s were loyal to one thing only and that was money. No leader meant no one to distribute the money or set up the deals...Who would take over?

Connory stopped playing hide and seek, her slugthrower rattling off a couple more rounds before clicking empty. She charged one with a rifle ducking as her he squeezed the trigger, the blaster bolts singeing hair before she came close enough to crack a baton across the gun, then his forearm. His scream of pain made her wince as the bone splintered. A back handed strike across the temple and he was down.

Another blaster bolt, skimmed her thigh and she cursed, identified the shooter and threw one baton with pinpoint accuracy, smacking him square between the eyes. The rest of them were beginning to scatter, choosing to live another day.

She jogged from the treeline, reaching behind her without thinking to summon the baton back to her hand, and slot it into ints holster with its twin. She began reloading the slugthrower as she walked towards Galaar.

“Su cuy’gar.”

She snapped the slugthrower shut, pointing it just over Galaar’s shoulder and cracking off a round into the back of a slaver heading for the pit.

“Shall we?”

The fire continued to burn practically everywhere. Tents were catching on fire, and the mercenaries were beginning to disperse. Without their leader and the impending danger of the fire beginning to spread, they seemed to have abandoned the goal of the slaves and would rather leave them to their fates. That didn’t mean Galaar was just going to leave them to their own devises, making sure to put a few bolts in those that were sprinting toward the forest. They didn’t have time to be chasing down every single one, and the Mandalorian could only hope that they got their comeuppance through a monster attacking them in some way.

Words from the smaller Mandalorian caught Galaar’s attention, to which he quickly nodded and turned toward the center of the encampment. “Well. Lets get these people out of there then. I’d rather not see any of them burn alive.” With a that, he quickly sprinted toward the pit, through the fire and chaos. A few times, he saw a few mercenaries sprinting out of tents toward the edges of the camp. Galaar made sure to take a few potshots at them as they sprinted away, even managing to down a few. Justice, he felt.

By the time he made it to the edge of the pit, the people inside were frantic at the possibility of burning alive with no hope at escape. Seeing the armored man standing at the edge of their prison prompted mixed reactions. They couldn’t figure out if he was there to kill them or save them, but their question was quickly answered as he began looking around for a way to get them out. Eventually, his eyes found two pairs of wooden ladders at opposite ends of the pit. He quickly pointed to one before sprinting towards the other. “Connory, go! Get that one down in the pit and help them out!”
