Chapter 20

"Incoming Cruiser state your destination and reason for coming to Coruscant." A robotic voice transmitted through the ship speakers.

"Business and the Capital," Cain answered.

"Affirmative. Head to the designated spaceport and have credits ready upon landing." The voice said and then ended the transmission while sending directions to the spaceport.

Following the directions, Cain was going to go wake Shmi up, but then he turned around to see the door slide open and Shmi walkthrough.

"Morning," Cain said while still concentrating on steering the ship.

"I haven't slept like that in years," Shmi replied while smiling happily.

"We're about to land on Coruscant. Then we can go check out the shop Padmé helped reserve." Cain informed Shmi as the spaceport came into view.

Before leaving Naboo, Cain told Padmé about his plan to help Shmi start a mechanic shop. So with her Queenly influence, Padmé managed to snag a premium spot in a high-end shopping district for Cain and Shmi to use.

Swiftly flying through the traffic packed city, Cain finally made it to the spaceport that he was assigned. He then landed his ship and shut off the ion engine. As Shmi went to grab her bags Cain quickly put on his armor, but decide not to don his helmet for now.

Exiting the ship, as Cain waited for Shmi to gather her things he was approached by a man.

"For spaceport rentals that'll be 100 credits." A middle-aged man dressed in overalls said as he walked towards Cain with a datapad.

Wanting to practice a Force ability he hadn't used in a while, Cain turned to face the man and waved his hand.

"I do not need to pay," Cain said, as he compelled the man with the Force.

"You do not need to pay." The man monotonous replied.

"You will watch over my ship." Cain quickly added.

"I will watch your ship." The man repeated as he walked away to secure the hangar.

[Mind Trick Successful]

Happy with his success, Cain turned around to see Shmi walking down the ramp of the ship with her bags in hand. Cain then locked down the ship and followed the directions to the shop they already own.

....

After getting the permit and legal issues out of the way, Cain immediately helped Shmi move in as there was an apartment above the shop.

"I-I never thought that I would actually get my own shop," Shmi said in amazement as she explored it.

The building was located in one of the more wealthy areas of Coruscant, and was fairly large. The shop had a large open display where many people could view their goods and the back was large enough to repair and hold multiple ships at once. Cain decided he would move his ship the first chance to the back of the shop.

"I'll look for a supplier that can get you everything you need and then we can open the shop in a week or two," Cain told Shmi as she excitedly inspected every inch of the shop.

"Wait-we still need a name?" Shmi suddenly exclaimed.

"Name?" Cain questioned.

"Yeah, if we're going into business then we need a name to attract business," Shmi replied, almost vibrating at the fact she could name her own shop.

"What do you have in mind?" Cain asked.

"Hmm..how about, Skywalkers Restoration," Shmi said after some thought.

"Not much mention of me, but I'll accept it as it sounds more...sophisticated," Cain joked to the already grinning Shmi.

After fixing up the shop the best they could with the limited resources they already had, Cain quickly contacted a supplier Padmé referenced and made a list of demands for the shop. The supplier quickly replied that he would bring everything for the shop tomorrow.

After Shmi moved to check out her new apartment, Cain went to explore the city of Coruscant. Cain then grabbed his helmet from his inventory, and threw it on to explore the city.

Once he got the helmet secured, Cain was shocked by the new upgrades. In his field of vision, there were multiple different functions from seeing heat signature, X-ray, sonic detector, night-vision, and zoom.

Amazed by these functions, Cain decided to test them out later. He then tapped the side of the helmet and made the visor function normally.

Walking through the streets of Coruscant, Cain received the occasional glance but most people kept to themselves and continued walking.

Soon Cain walked towards the lower levels of the city towards a nightclub that was pretty packed. Walking inside of the building, Cain was greeted to raging music and groups of dancers.

Walking through the crowd, Cain pushed his way toward the bar but stopped to take an appreciative look at the half-naked Twi'leks that were dancing before continuing forward.

Taking a seat at the bar Cain ordered a drink and opened a small slit in his helmet that let him eat. Just enjoy the exciting atmosphere, Cain was suddenly pulled from his own train of thought by a voice.

"....what's a Mandalorian doing on Coruscant?"

Turning his head, Cain looked to see a female Zabrak in a cloak looking at him while drinking at the bar.

"Who's asking?" Cain replied while moving his hand towards his pistol.

"I'm just curious is all. You guys usually keep to yourself on Mandalore." The female Zabrak said while sliding a drink towards Cain.

Looking at the drink then back at the female Zabrak, Cain felt that he's seen her before. Thinking about it he suddenly remembered that she was a Bounty Hunter shown in one of the Clone Wars episodes, but he couldn't remember her name.

"So you're the silent type." The Bounty Hunter joked, interrupting Cain's train of thought.

"What do you want, Bounty Hunter?" Cain asked, losing his patience.

"Straight to the point aren't we that's fine, I like that. One of my friends told me that he saw a Mandalorian walking around but I didn't believe him, especially one all by himself." The Zabrak continued to ramble on.

"Are you done wasting my time?" Cain grumbled.

"Fine. I know your people are warriors and I've been looking for another member for my crew. What do you say?" The Bounty Hunter inquired.

"No," Cain said curtly while standing up from the bar to leave.

"Fine then your loss, but I'd watch yourself. That armor on your back fetches a pretty credit on the market." The Zabrak said while smirking.

Suddenly more aware of his surroundings, Cain could feel the gazes of multiple people. Slowly observing the crowd Cain could see countless thieves' with weapons moving to surround him.

"Good luck! The name's Sugi by the way." The Bounty Hunter yelled as Cain moved away.

Quickly walking out of the club Cain deeply regretted his obsession with Boba Fett, even if his outfit was badass.

Sensing multiple people following him, Cain made his way towards a more deserted area of the city. With the area deserted of innocents, Cain quickly broke into a full out sprint.

As he was running through the streets, Cain could see a group of 14 men running after him. They all had blasters in hand and knew how to use them.

"Get him!"

"Don't damage the armor too much!"

The men yelled as they unleash a round of blaster fire at Cain. Dodging the first blast, Cain had to roll into an alleyway for cover. Sensing the men moving towards his position, Cain quickly enhanced his body with the Force and began to scale the buildings.

Standing off the edge of a building, Cain looked down as the group of thieves moved into position to attack where he once was.

As the men moved towards the alley, Cain slowly pulled both of his lightsabers from behind his back. While holding the lightsabers in a reverse grip Cain waited for his moment to attack.

"Move in and kill him." The lead thief ordered.

Running into the alleyway, five thieves let out a stream of blaster fire but were befuddled when the alley was empty. Walking forwards these men moved to check the rest of the alley, while the rest hung back.

"Where is he?"

Taking this as a signal to attack, Cain jumped to the ground while making a shockwave with the Force.

"K-kill him!"

As the men were thrown to the ground by Cain, they quickly tried to shoot him but he was already too close.

Slicing through the first man, Cain continued forwards while dodging their blasters. He then ran at the other three men and jumped in the air. Twirling as he moved forward Cain sliced through all of their blasters and kicked them.

Falling to the floor the men tried to run but found themselves raised in the air, choking as if their throats were being crushed.

Raising the men in the air, Cain sent them flying out of the alley, towards the other thieves still waiting in the street.

Startled by their friends being thrown into the street, the rest of the thieves slowly inched towards the dark alley with their blasters raised. Cain subtly activated his Menacing presence skill to terrify the thieves, into making a mistake.

"W-we have you surrounded, you freak. Give up!"

Not waiting for the men this time, Cain jumped as high as he could in the air and fell towards the unsuspecting group. Just as everything seemed silent, Cain finally struck.

Dropping feet first on the men in the back of the group, Cain stabbed both of his sabers into him and turned to attack the rest while focusing on driving fear into their minds.

"He's behind us!"

Throwing out a wave of Force energy, Cain made the thieves stumble back and interrupted them from firing their blasters. Cain enhanced his speed with the Force and ran towards the helpless thieves.

Like a beautiful symphony, Cain moved through the terrified men and killed them one by one. With only two men left, they tried to run but were once again lifted into the air by Cain.

Choking the men while raising them higher into the air, Cain only had one thing on his mind, to kill. Slowly closing his fist Cain watched as the life slowly left the men's eyes, and with a final snap, they were dead.

Cain coldly stared down at the group of men he just murdered. But as soon as the adrenaline went away, he finally realized what he had just done.

"What's happening to me?!" Cain question himself as he fell to his knee surround by the corpse of the men he just killed.

[14x Thieves defeated(+280)]

[Skill Upgrade: Force Power:Menacing Presence(C)]

Slowly coming back to his senses, Cain knew that he couldn't be seen with these bodies. So with some disgust, he levitated them into the air and piled the corpses onto one another.

Cain stared sadly at the bodies, but then suddenly shook his head.

Trying to get control over his raging emotions, Cain realized that he was acting like a little bitch. These men were trying to kill him then take his armor, they deserved to die.

Cain always knew that once he came to the Star Wars universe, he would have to kill and he was ready for it.

But since he stayed on Naboo for so long, Cain had only been seeing the bright side of the universe. Thus completely forgetting about all of the death and destruction that will happen.

Letting go of all his pacifist bullshit and false views of the galaxy, Cain raised his wrist and activated his flamethrower. From his wrist a stream of white-hot flames shot forward, incinerating the thieves corpse until there was nothing left but ash.
