I walked myself into the open green field whilst cloaked.
Detecting the Jedi was easy. They were hidden in the tall grass and behind hills. Simple heat vision revealed their positions.
I laugh inwardly, "They really suck at this..."
Not even Vorn for all his youth would be this bad. I could spoil their surprise and literally give their butts my boot as a prank. Or I could just go to the middle of them all and uncloak.
A tough choice but I want some entertainment. Let me see what sort of show these Jedi will put on.
Hence, I went to the middle of all the Jedi hiding spots and uncloaked. Almost immediately after, the Jedi leapt out and ignited their lightsabers.
"Predator! Your freedom comes to an end today. You will answer for your deeds.", a strong voice calls out. I look to see the source and am pleasantly surprised.
"Master Mace Windu. I am pleased to meet one of the few competent duelist of the Jedi Order. I take it that you all are here to capture me?", I say.
"Yes, we are. Will you come quietly?", he asks sternly.
I shake my head, "I'm afraid not Master Windu. You will have to earn your quarry this time."
"Very well...", he says resolutely.
Then he and the Jedi begin to attack.
Counting Windu, there are 60 Jedi. Most were Knights. Few were Masters. None were padawans unlike the last time with the Mandalorians. I knew this because their information came up in my HUD as I scanned their faces.
However, I will be taking a different approach with this battle. As this time, the Jedi are fighting with intent to kill. I will match their intent and not blow their limbs off nor tear off heads.
I don't even take out any weapons. I just clench my fist and use pure Force Enhance to physically empower myself.
The Jedi coming at me is a young human Knight. Blonde, handsome, blue eyes and pearly white teeth. I gave the Knight a straight bunch with my Beskar covered fist and broke his face. He tumbled backyard utterly out of commission. He didn't even get a chance to swing.
I started doing the same as the other Jedi started to try and pile on. I used my Beskar covered body to deflect and block strikes as I punched, kicked, kneed, elbowed, and even headbutt the Jedi.
I broke bones, broke ribs, broke faces. I dwindled the numbers down to around 20 before Windu finally had enough and threw himself at me. I still used my fist.
Windu was good. He was dodging every melee attack I made. The guy was struggling and even had a confused expression on his face.
I taunt him, "Did you think I would fight with the Dark Side Windu? I know about your Vapad form. You're going to ahve to do better than that."
I back him off by landing a front kick. He used the Force to cushion the blow. Resulting in no dmage.
I laugh, "You are the first to actually be able to use the Force as a cushion. Why did you even bring all these pathetic excuses for Jedi? They are an embarrassment to the Jedi of old. I don't even know how any of these other 'masters' are worthy of being a Master. Only Master I see here is you Master Windu."
He scowl at me, "It is not your place to judge the Jedi, animal."
I scowl back beneath my helm, "If it isn't my place to judge you, then whose is it? Does the Jedi allow the Republic to judge them then?"
Windu doesn't answer, but goes to attacking me. He strikes at me with his lightsaber. I quickly grab onto the knife on my belt and swing it at the lightsaber. The lightsaber then fizzles out, without being able to reignite.
I explain, "Aknife with some cortosis in it. Your weapon will be temporarily disabled now."
I then throw a bunch at him. He evades and answers with one of his own. I tank the bunch, but am forced to take a step back. Windu narrows his eyes at me and continues. He is exceptional at Force Enhancement I find out. As he begins to keep up with me.
The group fight has now fully turned into a hand to hand brawl between us two. The other remaining Jedi have wisely decided to just watch.
Windu's mastery of the Jedi Martial Art is great. As I find myself having a challenge. However, I will mix it up a bit. With the melee, I am throwing out compressed Force Pushes. Each one being a concussive blast.
Windu was blown by them at first, but started to counter with his own. Windu has been calm throughout, resulting in him not getting tired as the Light Side reinforces his stamina. However, he is but a human. I have lived much longer than he has, and have gone through many more battles.
I get a bit more serious and start to overwhelm him by pure martial skill. He starts receiving more hits, and I receive less hits. Unlike me, he doesn't have my armor. So his body is taking the toll.
Seeing Master Windu in trouble, another Jedi tries to interfere. A bolt of weak Force Lightning quickly quells the hero. Windu sees this and tries to siphon power from my use of the Dark Side. No luck though, as I only tapped into the Dark Side for a brief moment. Not enough time for Windu to gain anything.
I catch Windu's wrist with my over-sized hand, lift him up and swing him overhead into the ground. The classic Hulk swinging into some hard ground is highly effective.
I do it a few more times and Windu's body is so battered he can barely move. Although he is still conscious.
I then hear a new voice, old, wise, and female, "Predator, I think that will be all the fighting for today."
I turn to see Master Yaddle. I give her respectful bow, "Master Yaddle, it is an honor to meet you. What do I owe the pleasure."
She greets back, "A pleasure to meet you as well Predator. I came because I had a suspicion that Mace would be too...stubborn on the mission. Thank you for going easy on them."
"They did not have intent to kill, so I merely matched their intent.", I say.
She nods, "Now, I would us to have a nice conversation Predator."
Out of all the Jedi, Master Yaddle is one I can truly respect in this era. Any conversation with her will only be a boon to me.
"I would also like for us to have a nice conversation Master Yaddle. I'll call over my ship so I can have some tea prepared. There is a good hill with a flat top right over there."
Master Yaddle and I then walk over to the hill as the Jedi pick themselves up.
