Visit to Tatooine(2)

As we entered Mos Espa I noticed Padme stepped a bit closer to me. Not really that shocking but it was a cute display of how well her mask worked. She had a stoic façade looking around her with interest.

I don't know if she's interested but scared or if she used interest as an excuse to step closer to me due to being scared. Or she stepped closer to me due to my skibity rizz and used being afraid as an excuse. Who knows.

There were all sorths of species, tribes, and scavengers littered the spaceports.

"The few spaceports like this one are havens for those that don't wish to be found." Qui-Gon said.

"Like us." Padme responded.

"Aye, but it is also a haven for criminals, murderers, rapers, gangs, and slavers," I said scaring Padme a bit.

"Dissen berry berry bad," Jar-Jar said.

Who decided it was smart to bring along Jar-Jar…..

I thought just in time to see Jar Jar step on something sticky and almost fell forward.

"Oh! Icky icky goo." He said and I facepalmed while Robb and Jon behind me broke into a sweat.

Qui-Gon stood in front, then Jar-Jar, me, and Padme in the middle and my 2 guards in the back.

After 2 minutes of walking Qui-Gon spoke up.

I don't know why but none of us engaged in small talk while walking through the city.

"We'll try one of the smaller dealers." He said and I nodded, it was a smart decision as the large ones usually have connections to Jabba.

As we entered I spotted the ugly-ass view of the flying Jabba the hut.

He said.

"Good day to you." In Huttese.

"What do you want?" He continued, still in Huttese.

"I need parts for a J-type 327 Nubian." Qui-Gon spoke but in the galactic basic language.

"Ah, yes! Nubian. We have lots of that." He said in basic this time.

"Boy, get in here now!" He shouted, but in Huttese this time.

Luckily I knew Huttese from my studies, the advantage of noble birthright.

"My droid has a readout of what I need." Qui-Gon said. Just in time for a boy with blonde hair and about 8 years of age to come running down some stairs from their backyard filled with spare parts.

"What took you so long?" Watto said as Anakin passed him.

"I was cleaning the fan switches." He responded in Huttese.

"Watch the store. I've got some selling to do." Watto said as Anakin climbed over the counter to the reception of the store.

So… let me take thee out back, huh?" Watto said, back in the basic tongue.

"Ni you'll find what you need." He said while chucking as he flew forward, and we followed. Or Qui-Gon anyway, however on the way he stopped Jar-jar from touching anything.

"Don't touch anything." He said taking something out of his hands.

I then walked to Anakin.

"You wouldn't potentially know where there are bounty hunters for hire?" I asked him as Padme looked shocked.

"Bounty hunters?? Why would you need those crooks?" He asked in a childish voice.

"Those crooks happen to be good at killing." I said shocking Padme. But he was used to it I guess.

"There is a bounty hunter guild 3 streets away." He said and I turned to Padme.

"Do you wish to accompany us or stay here with Qui-Gon?" I asked and she narrowed her eyes.

"I would rather not deal with scum, thank you." She said a bit angry.

"Very well and relax. I'm not here to kill anyone. Just want to ensure we have a backup plan." I said as I and my 2 guards walked out.

We walked through the streets asking about 5 more people until we eventually reached the Guild. It was a medium-sized building, about 3 storages tall.

"Alright, don't start a fight with anyone." I said we walked into the Guild. Many turned their eyes toward us but turned back to their game once they saw we were newbies. Of course, not everyone did it like the movies, only about 5-7 out of the 20 people inside.

There was a reception where a droid stood. 

"Greetings, I am a customer and I wish to hire a few bounty hunters," I said and I noticed a few of the people sitting around stop playing games or talking.

"Very well, do you have any bounty hunters you request and the basics of the missions?" The droid asked and I nodded.

"Mercenary Sugi, Embo, Rumi Paramita, Seripas, Bossk, Dengar and Aurra Sing." I said shocking everyone within the Guild. I had just mentioned 3 out of the top 10 bounty hunters of the guild and the others were within the top 20 or 30.

"What is the mission?" The droid asked.

"Long-term service, daily pay." I said shocking the entire Guild even more. Long-term service and daily pay were the mission most bounty hunters dreamed about.

"Way of contact?" The droid asked.

"Preferably within 3 days, either on Comms or in person." I said and the droid nodded.

"Bounty hunter Embo is currently on Tatooine and in this city, he is performing a mission but will be available within 13 hours. Sugi currently leads a team made up of Rumi Paramita and Seripas and they are on the planet of Geonosis. Dengar and Bossk are on Coruscant while the whereabouts of Aurra Sing are not known, but she was spotted close to Tatooine a few days ago." The droid said.

"May I meet Embo at this time tomorrow, in this building?" I asked and the droid nodded.

"Embo should be ready for a meeting at that time, please hand over your contact number so we may contact you." The droid said and I handed him a disk.

"Inform Bossk and Dengar that I will be on Coruscant in 5-7 days and that I shall meet them in the local guild there. And have the others contact me via the information on that Disk." I said and the droid nodded.

"I will inform you of any changes to the schedule." The droid said and I turned around to walk away. Just in time for every bounty hunter in the guild to stand up, except 5 smart ones.

"Well, ain't you a generous man, hiring bounty hunters. But ya see, ya didn't hire me, so I will need to tax your payment to the other 7." He said and Robb and Jon took their staffs from their back.

"Well, sadly, nobody knows who you are, so how am I supposed to hire you? You're just a behind the scenes nobody. So sit down, bounty hunter." I said enraging the entire guild.

"Heh, seems we got some fun boys." I said just in time for the human in front of me to throw a fist against me.

I stepped to the side and used my elbow to smash the underside of his right arm bending it in the wrong way.

I kicked the middle of his right foot, making him fall on his knee. I took out my right pistol and shot him in the head, ending his life.

My primitive force sense told me someone was aiming at my head, it was a mix of intuition and the force.

I rolled to my side evading the shot. It came from a Zygerian, the Zygerian then took out a shock whip and threw it my way.

I picked up a chair and held it in front of me, making the whip tangle around it. I then whipped the chair back sending the whip out of his hands and towards me.

As the whip flew towards me I put my Commando Pistol in its holster and took out my left one. I then grabbed the whip with my right hand and deactivated it. I put it on my belt and I threw the chair at the Zygerrian, knocking him out.

I then saw 2 humans running at me. They both had black tattoos on their bald head. One carried 2 axes while another carried 1.

The one with 1 axe slid over a table, I took out my newly acquired whip, turned it on, and whipped it towards the 1st axe guy. He had no way to block it as he was sliding over a table and it tangled around his neck. I then put the electricity to the max as he began screaming.

The 2nd brother then threw one axe at me, which I evaded. I then began unleashing fire upon the 2nd brother. He wore a slight armor. He pushed through my shots and I hit his armor 2 times.

He jumped towards me with both hands on his remaining one-handed axe, and I evaded to the side making him hit the ground.

Due to this increased physical use of the one-handed axe, it temporarily got stuck on the ground.

I pressed a button on my belt as my left foot rocket began boosting. I put my knee right in front of his face and put the sole of my foot horizontal with the knee and once it started my knee flew at amazing speeds towards his bald head, I turned my soles slightly upwards sending him into the roof as I cut my rockets.

My right foot had magnetic locks which allowed me to stand still.

However, in my focus on the 2nd, I had ignored the 1st. He had somehow managed to get the whip over his head so he was no longer being shocked.

He jumped towards me and my right eye just barely caught the axe coming down on my face. I would have no time to react as my left hand automatically turned a bit to the right to hit his stomach, and I fired. It hit his tummy but he refused to give in to the pain and continued.

"Is this the end." I thought to myself as I looked around. Robb and Jon were fighting 2 enemies each, both already having taken out 2. And they looked at me with wide eyes.

My eyes turned back to the axe, and as it reached 1 centimeter away from my right eye. A black hairy arm with brass knuckles, they were electrified with blue electricity.

As the last brother was sent into the air and through the walls I got a good look at my newly arrived saviour.

He was a Wookie, he had black fur with golden linings in his hair. He also had decorative gold material covering his chest. Lastly had electric brass knuckles and a bowcaster on his back.

I quickly recognized him as the Black Krrsantan, or Sato.

However, he was a lot younger, perhaps in his early 30's or 40's. However, what was he doing here? He shouldn't have left his homeworld before another 15 years or some? Maybe something hurried up the canon and he got trained earlier? Maybe the Trandoshians kidnapped him somehow.

"Thank you." I said after getting out of my trance.

"HRRRRRRRR!" He shouted, and I somehow knew what he said. I don't know how or why but I did.

"Thank you for saving me from the brothers." He said.

"HRRRRRRR"

"I owe you a life pact!" He said again.

Holy shit. If I'm correct then he probably just entered the brother's service and their torture-like called training. He is a lot more civilized than during his service of Boba Fett, likely due to not having attended the full training yet.

However, another guy attacked us. I shot him in his right eye.

"Thank you, may I know your name?" I said

"HRRRRRRRRRRRR"

"Krrsantan, but you can call me Santo." He said and I nodded, and with that, we went back to fight as, Robb, Jon and newly arrived Santo exterminated the remaining bounty hunters.

I used my whip, Santo his knuckles and Robb / Jon used their staff. Soon enough we won and we left, Santo carrying the Xonti Brothers over his shoulders. I would allow him to get his revenge.

"What a big guy..." Jon said with a smile as we walked back towards the shop.
