Private Last Man Standing

[Zephyr Krayt]

Location: Corsin

A recent fall through of bounty hunting jobs had led Zephyr back to mercenary work where he soon found himself engaged in a battle between opposing factions on Corsin. Though the battle was not constant and silence often fell in the night, both sides had endured three days of threat and sleeplessness from their enemies so it was understandable that his allies wanted a solution to weaken the enemies and prevent a stalemate.

The proposed solution came in the form of a concentrated attack which would allow the Mandalorian to sneak behind enemy lines, hopefully receiving little resistance, to detonate explosives on the railway which would eventually deplete the enemies' resources. As the only Mandalorian on the team, he was tasked with attempting to blow up the rails and after a debriefing with the other infantry, he set off on foot for the proposed section of the train track to avoid drawing attention by using the jetpack.

As he did so, an attack was launched which would create chaos on both sides. The sound of blaster fire and explosions grew more distant as he approached his destination until they were merely faint noises in the distance. Once reaching the location, he climbed up a small hill which lined the rails and lay flat on the ground to use it as cover while he assessed the situation below. Footsteps could be heard but he couldn't see a figure so he peered over a little further and upon catching a glimpse of someone he shot back down.

Mathieu Brion

It was a relief to have been given some time in the town before having to return back out into the field. While the current location he found himself at was rather far from both the battle and the town, Mathieu was well aware of where he was. Relatively well closed of and with a damp forest, he was out to gather some mushrooms before walking back to the front lines. While some might have thought it to be weird to find a fully armoured and equipped mercenary walking about in the forest with a basket in his hands, a person who knew Mathieu well would hardly be surprised at all. This, would make for a great sandwich at some point.

Strolling about, he was blissfully unaware of the presence of the Mandalorian who was in the vicinity. Still, wearing heavy armour and having heard vague calls about an attack over the comms had put him at a state of higher attentiveness. It had reached the point where the large mercenary even contemplated heading back to the frontlines before he was scheduled to return. While he was a Mercenary, Mathieu still cared for the greater cause if his employer and the friends he made fighting off the enemy onslaught. Besides, it could net him a nice bonus, something which always made his day a bit brighter.

Soon, he received a holocall and upon picking up, one of his comrades screamed with a distressed voice, telling him about a major attack and that he was needed. While flattered, it was mildly annoying that they took it upon themselves to call him back from his time off instead of letting him do it on his own accord. But then, it was a matter of life and death and the importance of the call far outweighed his desire to get a few more mushrooms. "I'm on my way. I'll follow the tracks. If I'm lucky, I'll catch a ride" he said before putting the device back into his pocket and starting to walk at a rapid pace until he got closer to the tracks.

While walking, he managed to catch the glint of what looked like either a helmet our some kind of predatory animal by a hill nearby. Putting his hand on his blaster pistol, Mathieu looked up to where he had seen it. While he would normally let wild beasts roam freely, this was hardly a time for some animal to be allowed to disrupt them behind their own lines. And with that, he slowly advanced on the position. Quickly bending down, he put down his basket with the precious mushrooms and picked up a few pebbles instead. Hoping to see if it was metallic or soft, the large Morellian threw a few of the small rocks towards the hill, listening for tinks or clonks.

Zephyr Kumaara

 

[Zephyr Krayt]

Unaware he had been spotted, Zephyr lay with his back against the hill and pressed a button which activated his comlink so he could relay information back to his allies. "There only seems to be one enemy here. How long have I got?" He asked but before he could get a response he heard the sound of something hitting him from above reverberate in the helmet and immediately snapped to attention by quickly drawing a blaster into his hand.

Zephyr rolled onto his front and peered over the hill while aiming with his blaster. Upon spotting the man he would open fire before ducking back down to avoid any potential return fire. There were too many trees around to get any altitude but he knew he would need to take a more radical approach soon as he trusted his opponent would have at least some skill to contend with and the Mandalorian had limited time before the train arrived.

He got to his feet and quickly stood behind a tree for cover, occasionally opening fire if the man was in his sight. He continued to use the trees to his advantage until he got to the clearing beside the tracks where he immediately activated his jetpack and shot up a few metres off the ground to allow for extra manoeuvrability before drawing his other blaster and opening fire with both weapons.

Mathieu Brion

The pebbles fell down in behind the hill - Mathieu grimaced as he heard the metallic clinks from when the little stones hit Mandalorian armour. Quickly, he reached for his blaster pistol - knowing that it was much faster than bringing out his heavy chaingun. The person behind the hill exposed himself as a Mandalorian or someone who had managed to get their hands on a Mandalorian helmet - in either case, he was in danger since it was bound to be a dangerous foe he was facing.

The two men shot at each other - neither of them could have lined up an all too accurate shot, seeing as they both had to act quickly. While the Mandalorian had the advantage of being behind the hill for cover, Mathieu had higher mobility, allowing him to move fast and just barely avoid the shot. Knowing that his position put him at a disadvantage without any cover, he was quick to move up to the same hill that his foe was hiding by, fully prepared to exchange some close range shots or even melee blows. It wouldn't come to happe, however, as the Mandalorian had already moved in behind a tree. Mathieu fired a few shots with his blaster pistol before taking a step back to let the hill work as cover for him. While he had no real expectations that the bolts would hit the enemy, it would at least work to keep him on his toes.

Activating his stim-pack, Mathieu used a stim which would enhance his reflexes and then proceeded to holster his blaster pistol and bring out the chaingun. By the time he came back out from behind the hill, the Mandalorian had managed to move further back, hiding behind another tree that was a bit further away than the last one. Soon, the large mercenary pulled the trigger, causing a hail of bolts to fly in the direction of his foe, quickly destroying and punching through the tree he was hiding behind. Mathieu would ensure that the stream of laser bolts would follow the Mandalorian if he decided to move - and clad in heavy armour, he didn't mind exchanging blows, seeing as his weapon did way more damage to the Mandalorian than the purple armoured guy's blaster pistols would ever do to him.

Zephyr Kumaara

 

[Zephyr Krayt]

Zephyr peered from behind the tree, having faith that his armour would protect him from any blaster fire while he assessed the situation but upon seeing the chaingun he muttered "Haar'chak" under his breath before activating his jetpack to give him the boost he needed to have any chance at survival against such a powerful weapon. Beskar could only offer so much protection so a hit from a chain gun would mean severe, if not lethal, injury.

The Mandalorian remained close to the ground, using the jetpack merely for the speed he couldn't otherwise provide himself. The other mercenary seemed to anticipate his movement as he was hot on the Mandalorian's tail. However, Zephyr knew such a heavy gun was not the most practical weapon choice despite being one of the more powerful weapons so aimed to use its weakness to his advantage.

Once in the clearing, he rose above the other mercenary but didn't fire at him and instead holstered a blaster while evading his opponent's blaster fire by constantly moving. He flew over the mercenary, dropping a shock grenade when he was as close as he could comfortably get before getting back to a safe distance with another grenade in hand should the first fail.

Mathieu Brion

 

[Mathieu Brion]

It was almost cute. The Mandalorian was trying to outrace the bolts of his chaingun. And while it worked for a little while, Mathieu, enhanced by the stim, was quick to start tracking the man who was soaring through the woods. Sure - a jetpack was capable of letting someone travel quickly - but the man in the purple armour was like a satellite to the large Morellian who was tracking him with fast reflexes and the advantage of only having to turn the weapon a few centimetres in order to follow the Mandalorian when he covered several meters. A few shots, if not more, were bound to hit his foe who would have been much safer on the ground with cover than he was in the air, all exposed.

The Mandalorians were impressive warriors and this one was no exception. Just as the chaingun needed to cool down, he went in for the attack. Naturally, the Mercenary let his main weapon fall, allowing it to hang by his side on a leather band. Now bringing up his blaster pistol, he started firing at the foe with as much accuracy as could be mustered when only being able to fire a few bolts at the time instead of almost using a tracking beam when wielding the chain gun. "What are you? A warrior or an insect?" he roared, frustrated by his foe's elusive tactics.

Sensing that nothing good would come from the sudden approach towards him, Mathieu started to move forwards to meet the Mandalorian - to his surprise, the purple guy kept flying instead of unleashing his own blaster weapons. But then - he did drop the shock grenade, acting more like a Y-Wing than someone worthy of being on a battlefield. Turning his forward march into a spring, Mathieu just barely managed to avoid the blast by throwing himself forth towards the end of the sprint. Rolling sideways a couple of laps he then quickly and smoothly brought up his sights and fired a few carefully aimed shots at the Mandalorian, hoping that at least something would hit. Regardless, he kept firing whilst moving away from the hill and in towards the forest, knowing that maneuvering to avoid both trees and laser bolts would be considerably much harder than being allowed to fly around in the open.

Zephyr Kumaara

 

[Zephyr Krayt]

The Mandalorian was aware he couldn't continue to evade his opponent for much longer. He was reminded of the fact he had limited time to achieve his goal and so needed to dispatch the other mercenary quickly, not to mention jetpacks didn't allow for an infinite amount of fuel. He had expected someone might put up a fight but he didn't expect them to be so heavily armed which could end up setting back him and his allies if he wasn't careful.

So focused on the task at hand, he didn't pay attention to the mercenary's frustration as he was busy trying to devise a plan to incapacitate the man. The chaingun was easily identified as the main issue and with that out of the picture it would seem to be a much easier fight so he would need to keep the mercenary on his toes. Upon feeling the shockwaves of the grenade he had dropped, he turned around to see if he had caught his opponent in it but was instead met by blaster fire.

Zephyr quickly returned fire with the single blaster he had in his hand but the overall surprise of the attack led to him receiving a bolt to the thigh which pinged off of the armour and knocked him back in the air a few feet. Now the man was on the move he was a much harder target for a grenade so Zephyr replaced the weapon with his second blaster and gently landed on the ground to follow his opponent into the forest as he was left with little choice but to go by foot.

The Mandalorian continued to return fire as he advanced on his enemy, occasionally using trees for cover when the bolts came too close for comfort. It was far from ideal terrain from the Mandalorian to relied on his jetpack to evade enemies but it would become even more problematic if he couldn't get that chaingun away from the mercenary.

Mathieu Brion

They exchanged fire and for now, it seemed like Mathieu was coming out on top as he managed to hit the Mandalorian while remaining completely unscathed himself. But then - his blaster pistol would need a few more hits before it would do any real damage against the enemy's armour

As they moved into the forest, he could hear how the annoying buzz off his opponent's jetpack died out. Finally, they might have a fair and honest fight. But then, he was fighting a Mandalorian and while using the trees as cover, Mathieu's broad shoulders made it unreasonably hard to find an appropriate tree to hide behind - something that was made abundantly clear as a shot hit his shoulder while his back was pressed up against the tree. "Blast it!" he exclaimed, trying to keep it down as much as possible as he whipped around and fired a few shots back at the Mandalorian. Advancing between trees to close the distance, Mathieu would keep firing a few bolts just to keep his foe suppressed.

"If you give me your helmet, I might let you live" he said, throwing out a threat as he was advancing on the man who was hiding behind a tree. Using his free left hand, Mathieu then pulled the trigger on his chaingun - but only for a few short moments, causing it to produce a familiar sound made right before a hail of bolts were to be expected.

If the Mandalorian made a run for it, Mathieu would pursue with heavy fire from his main weapon. If the Mandalorian would not try to escape it, Mathieu would be able to make it close enough to instead pull out his stun baton with his left hand and make a dash towards the opponent's cover with the hopes of getting a good hit in with a thrust.

Zephyr Kumaara

 

[Zephyr Krayt]

With blaster fire alone the fight seemed like it would result in a stalemate. They were capable of getting hits on each other, they had proven that much, but that was no use when their armour protected them against such attacks. However, Zephyr trusted it wouldn't be long before his opponent brought out the chaingun again to spice things up a bit but first he called out to the Mandalorian pressed up against a tree who quickly responded with "Not a chance" in an irritated tone. Who was this man to be making demands?

Suddenly, the sound of the chaingun echoed through the area but Zephyr was not keen on running given how close the escape had been last time. Getting hit in the body was enough of an issue but it didn't help having an explosive target on his back either. By now the adrenaline had kicked in and he was ready to stand his ground so when the bolts flew his way, he stayed behind the tree and holstered a gun to make use of his vambraces.

Once the slew of bolts had stopped, he peered around the tree and shot whipcord towards the mercenary's legs in one swift movement, aiming to entangle his legs and trip him over. In his free hand, he drew his vibroblade in preparation for a potential melee fight. Either way, he left the cover of the tree and approached the man.

Mathieu Brion

 

[Mathieu Brion]

"That's rich, coming from a guy hiding behind a tree" he shot back as the fighting continued, just as he was about to launch his attack at full.

The Mandalorian did not take the bait and leave cover. It was probably the smarter move, seeing as the chaingun could make short work of him unless he managed to pull off another miracle by avoiding the bolts. But seeing how close they were now, that was far from likely.

Impressed, Mathieu saw how the Mandalorian popped out from behind his cover. Once again, the reflex enhancing stim was invaluable as he quickly bent down, lowering his blaster pistol to intercept the whipcord before bouncing back up again. With the cord binding them together, he raised his blaster up high and fired three shots towards the Mandalorian who was now out in the open. With a sudden burst, Mathieu then turned his body around to pull the blaster back and thereby also, bringing his foe closer in a.
J O I N K !

When bend sidewards back, Mathieu let his one hand brush across the stim-regulator where he activated the strength enhancing one - all hidden from being spotted by anyone not actively looking for it. Turning back to face the purple armoured guy, he faked a lunge towards him with the stun baton. Pulling his blaster pistol with the whipcord attached to it to the right, utilising his superior strength and length, Mathieu hoped to pull the Mandalorian in that direction whilst trying to use his right hand holding the baton to make a sweep from left to right, hopefully catching the foe's blade from the inside.

If successful in catching the blade on the inside, Mathieu would then use the baton to disengage the lock and strike inwards at the Mandalorian's neck. If not, he would try to keep the blades locked, slowly sliding his baton along the blade until he could try to grab his opponent by the wrist after quickly letting go of the baton.

Zephyr Kumaara

 

[Zephyr Krayt]

"Would you shut up? I'm not here to talk." He shouted back to the mercenary with annoyance while he wondered why on Corsin this guy was trying to interact with him. He preferred to work without fraternising with the enemy but despite the mercenary's talkative attitude, he had certainly proved himself to be a capable warrior and a worthy opponent which would earn him some begrudging respect from the Mandalorian.

Zephyr watched as the man used incredible speed to intercept the whipcord but there was no time to do anything about it as three shots were soon fired in his direction, causing him to leap out of the way as far as his arm would allow, though the final bolt clipped his shoulder pad and caused him to stumble. With his opponent attached with such an unfavourable limb, Zephyr knew it was of extreme importance to release the whipcord so he reached for the release on his left vambrace but was suddenly dragged towards his opponent and just about managed to stay on his feet.

When his opponent faked a lunge at him, the Mandalorian leaned backwards to avoid the baton and dug his feet into the ground to try and avoid being pulled by the mercenary again, though it had become apparent by now that he had underestimated the strength of the man. He raised his blade to meet the stun baton and did not disengage, knowing that doing so could be very costly.

Once he felt the man's hand lock around his wrist, Zephyr raised a foot to kick the man in the abdomen with all the strength he could muster, uncaring if he were to lose balance and fall too as he was only trying to get his opponent to release him. With the vibroknife still in hand he would then struggle against the man to get the blade to his neck.

Mathieu Brion

 

[Mathieu Brion]

Utilising his superior reach, Mathieu held out his blaster as far as he could to the right, dragging the Mandalorian's hand along as the whipcord was still attached to the vembrace. Meanwhile, their other hand were engaged on the other side. Fortunately, Mathieu managed to grab his opponent's wrist. While he had to let go of his stun baton, he thought of his current position as better.

The kick did not weather the large Morellian - his heavy armour could withstand blaster fire so the kick wouldn't deal any real damage. And while it might have had the slight chance of putting him off balance normally, his strength enhancing stim ensured that he would stay on his feet - being able to hold on to the Mandalorian himself helped a lot. Instead of letting his foe bring the blade to his throat, Mathieu yanked the opponent's right arm to the side with tremendous force which, in combination with the kick, would probably throw the Mandalorian off balance and cause him to fall to the ground sideways.

Still, with his one hand controlling the guy's right wrist and the other controlling his left arm, Mathieu ensured that he would fall on his back. While it would have been preferrable to have the foe lie on his stomach instead, it was not possible without letting go if his limbs. Following him down to the ground, Mathieu sat down on top of the Mandalorian's abdomen with one leg on each side of him. Letting go of his own blaster, his right hand then went onto grab the enemy's left wrist. Yanking his foe's limbs upwards so that they were slightly above the purple armoured person's head, he leaned down, using the pressure of his body weight to keep the arms from moving whilst still having a very stead seat on the Mandalorian as both of his knees were firmly planted in the ground.

"Surrender" he growled, failing to see any realistic ways for the Mandalorian to escape him by.

Zephyr Kumaara

 

[Zephyr Krayt]

The Mandalorian tried to pull his arm back from the mercenary who was pulling his arm away but he wasn't strong enough and he was otherwise occupied while he tried to free his hand that wielded the vibroblade. When the kick failed to have any effect, he knew he was really losing any chance of achieving a victory but before he could try anything else he felt his whole body lurch to the side as the mercenary directed the arm he was bound to which, combined with balancing on one foot, toppled the Mandalorian.

Though the blade was still in his hand, he had no way of using it as he was soon pinned under the massive mercenary. He didn't struggle as he knew everything that had led up to this point suggested it would be futile. Zephyr didn't reply to stall while he thought of an idea to free himself as the last thing he wanted to do was surrender. However, a voice from the comlink in his helmet suggested that needn't be the case.

::Mando, we're at the train tracks. Where are you?:: He was asked. It seemed that taking his sweet time on the task at hand and maintaining radio silence had led to his allies sending reinforcements to investigate the situation and soon their voices could be heard shouting to each other nearby as they worked to lay explosives. "Too late." Zephyr told the mercenary calmly. He couldn't press the button to activate his comlink but if his allies looked in the nearby forest then the pair of mercenaries would stand out like a sore thumb and suddenly he wouldn't be in nearly as much danger.

Mathieu Brion

 

[Mathieu Brion]

It was puzzling, seeing the Mandalorian in a rather hopeless situation but still not surrendering. Did the guy have something up his sleeve or was he just plain stupid? While his position was advantageous, the large Morellian was afraid of whatever more things his foe could shoot from his vambraces and didn't want to let go of his wrists to let him do something with them. With that, he made sure to hold the wrists from the side and used his body weight to push down on them while his grip pulled the upper part upwards. If it was allowed to continue, there was a real risk that both wrists would break. At any rate, it seemed likely that the guy would at least drop the vibrwosword.

It had never been his desire to create an almost torturous situation. Stopping the effort before anything could break, he utilised the excruciating pain it caused along with the possible numbness to drag both hands to unite above the Mandalorian's head. Now, the Mercenary pressed down on both wrists with a single hand, locking them in place with his stim-enhanced strength and body weight. With his other hand now freed, he quickly took off the foe's helmet, right after he received the message. The Hapan's striking features surprised the Morellian who had expected someone more gruff. Soon, other voices could be heard from the distance followed by the opponent letting out an annoying '"Too late.'

Swearing, Mathieu realised that the train track was lost. He had a grueling fight with one foe and did not think he could take on any more Mandalorians, seeing how tough the fight against this one had been. Quickly, he tried to strike the Mandalorian with a hard punch with enough force to knock him out and cause some bleeding. If he was successful. The Mercenary would extend the whipcord and use it to bind the enemy's hands together tightly with his blaster pistol dangling a meter below. While he would have preferred to not carry the jetpack, time was too pressed to do anything about it, and with that, Mathieu would throw the purple armoured guy over his shoulder with the face facing forwards as he still kneeled down. He would then collect the purple helmet with the T-visor and attach it to his belt and also pick up the stun baton and holster it. With that, he rose, thanking the starts for his strength and the wonderful stims he had. Hoping that the Mandalorian's allies would be distracted, the then proceeded to make his way in the opposite direction as the railway, heading towards a heavily trafficked road that his allies used to get between the town and the front line. The encumberment meant that running wouldn't be possible, but at least he was able to move at marching speed and keep an eye on if the red-head would wake up.

Zephyr Kumaara

 

[Zephyr Krayt]

As the pressure increased on his wrists, the Mandalorian moved uncomfortably beneath the mercenary and hoped that by having more of the man's weight on his wrists then there might be a better chance of toppling him so he tried to use his legs to push off the ground and push the man off him though it quickly became apparent that it was hopeless. It wasn't long before Zephyr dropped the vibroblade, not that it was being much use anyway and tried to reach for a button on his right vambrace when his opponent brought his hands above his head but was unsuccessful in utilising the last weapons on his person.

When his helmet was removed, he was revealed to his opponent with a look of anger but he knew he need not waste breath demanding for his helmet back; like that was ever going to work. Zephyr said nothing, knowing that there was nothing he could say that would make the situation any more dignifying, but defiantly glared at his opponent's visor, unafraid. With nowhere to go, Zephyr had no option but to take the punch from his powerful opponent which forced his head to the side on impact and knocked him unconscious.

Behind them, two armoured mercenaries had spotted the pair leaving in the opposite direction and began after them, their footsteps growing louder as they approached. With their weapons set to stun, to allow room for error, one of them shot in the direction of the Morellian, barely missing him. With both aiming their blasters on their enemy, one offered an ultimatum to their rival mercenary. "Put him down and you can walk away." He offered.

Mathieu Brion

 

[Mathieu Brion]

It was clear that he was being pursued but it was by far fewer people than he had anticipated when hearing voices by the railway. Still, anyone with a weapon and knowledge of the basic concepts could be a threat. It would soon become blatantly obvious that outrunning them was not an option as the stun bolt swooshed past him.

Mathieu was not about to give up, however. With his blaster conveniently dangling from the Mandalorian's hands, one meter away from them, he grabbed it with his free left hand - seeing as his right hand was wrapped around the other guy's torso. Setting his own blaster to stun, he slowly turned 90 degrees whilst hiding the fact that he was holding a weapon. The large Morellian then increased the pace at which he turned considerably whilst crouching down to face the attackers at which point, he fired a flurry of bolts. None of them stood behind cover which made things easy for the Mercenary. Mathieu didn't stand behind cover either, but with the red-headed Mandalorian lumped over him, any bolts coming for him would most likely hit the knocked out foe instead. Comfortable with the position, Mathieu would continue firing at the foes and would let one of his own stun bolts hit his captive for good measure.

If any of the foes for some reason still remained conscious by dodging stun bolts, Mathieu would let go of the blaster and let it dangle by the ground to then grab a proton grenade from the captive's belt and throw it at the survivor. Once it was thrown, he would pick his blaster up again and fire shots at anyone trying to escape the blast radius. The explosive would create a field of fire which would help to cover Mathieu as he then looked for enemies and turned to move once he determined that the coast was clear.

The two mercenaries watched, unmoving while their enemy began to turn towards them and as soon as bolts were flying their way one dived behind the cover of a tree but one reacted too slowly and was knocked off his feet by the impact and fell to the ground, unconscious. The remaining mercenary reached around the tree to return fire briefly before activating his comlink to call for reinforcements. Upon hearing something hit the ground nearby, he looked down and saw a grenade by hit feet. Cursing, the mercenary ran and leapt out of the way, just getting caught in the edge of the blast though it was enough to wound him substantially.

Before long, other mercenaries were hot on Mathieu's tail as they had the speed and agility that came with not carrying a Mandalorian over their shoulders. There were two mercenaries either side of the Morellian but deeper in the forest as they tried to get ahead unnoticed. Soon two men with rifles would appear in a small clearing ahead, aiming for their foe while a third and fourth who had been hiding and lying in wait approached from behind with blasters drawn and the fifth emerged from the forest on the Morellian's left side. "Surrender." One of the mercenaries from ahead demanded.

Mathieu Brion

 

[Mathieu Brion]

The fire he had started was bound to slow down reinforcements and since the coast was clear when he started moving, nobody was expected to be very near them to take up the pursuit. It soon became apparent that he had allowed himself to focus solely on making his way to the trafficked road and ignoring keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings for too long as two foes emerged in the small clearing ahead with rifles pointed right at him. The fools were sillier than the large Mercenary had expected as the chose to position themselves in the most exposed area possible whilst Mathieu remained in the forest. What's more is that they tried to demand something - whatever it was, it never left their mouths as he quickly fired two shots at them, stunning both seeing as they were at a rather close range.

Three more foes were still there, however, but Mathieu was quick to bend down, causing the ones behind him to either miss completely or hit Zephyr instead of himself. The one to the side was still a problem and managed to get a shot in at the side of Mathieu's heavily armoured torso. While the hit stung, he was quickly able to fire back as he was holding the blaster pistol with his left hand. And the much more poorly armoured guy quickly fell unconscious.

The two who had been behind him were, however, not quite as foolish as one might have hoped and started to move towards his right side. Spotting it, the large Morellian realised that he would have a hard time reaching them with his blaster since both Zephyr worked as a block and he held it in his left hand, making it hard to bend around without exposing himself too much. Having no qualms with turning his defensive shield into an offensive weapon, Mathieu suddenly burst up into an upright position while tossing the Mandalorian at the two remaining foes, forcing them to lower their weapons or awkwardly carry the unconscious body of their ally.

Naturally, throwing away the Mandalorian also meant throwing away his blaster pistol. Seeing his chance to not kill anyone with his chaingun, Mathieu quickly drew his stun baton and rushed at them. One managed to get a shot at his lower stomach before he whacked them both in the head, quickly stunning them.

With all foes taken out, he looked them all over and decided that the Mandalorian he had picked up first was the most valuable prisoner. Picking the man up again, he continued making his way towards the road until he came across the heavily trafficked road where he could get a lift and more items to secure his captive.
