Revenge of the Red Suns

[René]

Concord Dawn, Farmlands​

Ji'Kel Vizsla was excited as he walked along a forest-shaded path towards his father, Jor'Kel's farm. His father, a Mandalorian Captain, was turning 60 today, and had decided to hold a celebration at his farm on Concord Dawn. The Chiss had fond memories of his father's farm, as it was there that he was taught to be a Mandalorian warrior after leaving the Jedi. Well, leaving was a loose term. The tragic death of his lifelong soulmate and girlfriend, another Padawan, coupled with his master's dismissal of her death and order to focus on more important things had caused the young Ji'Kel to lash out at his master, killing him and leaving for his homeworld on Mandalore. This also resulted on his banishment from the Jedi Order, and a hatred for them.

After becoming a full-fledged Mandalorian, Ji'Kel had tested his new skills on various Jedi he found outside of Mandalorian territory, earning him a reputation on Mandalore as arrogant, hot-headed, and reckless. During a trip to Tatooine six years back, the young and brash Chiss had thought it a good idea to hire some member of a local gang called the Red Suns. He hired the Bith to contact the Jedi and alert them of the Mandalorian's location, but to cover up the fact that he was luring Jedi into Dominion territory he killed the Bith. Probably for better, the transmission was intercepted by two Protectors, Aetheon Kast and "Baby Bear" Bralor. But when they were about to leave Tatooine with the reckless Chiss, the dead Bith's friends in the Red Suns attacked the trio and two others with the group, and a skirmish broke put in Mos Eisley. The end result was many dead gang members, the Mandalorians escaped, and although missing his right arm, bottom half of his right leg, and being severely burned Ji'Kel managed to survive.

After that day, he left his obsession with the Jedi alone and instead focused on fighting for the Dominion, as well as taking contracts on the side to fight "evil"; Sith, slavers, pirates, and the like. During this time, he and a group of Mandalorians infiltrated and destroyed a Red Suns outpost on Tatooine, further angering the group. The Chiss had recently discovered that the gang had an illegal bounty on his head, and as he walked he sensed the presence of somebody else hidden in the forest. Whoever it was seemed to be following him, but moved whenever the SuperCommando left the path to investigate. After an hour of this "game", Ji'Kel had finally had enough. Placing his blue and gold helmet on his head, the Chiss turned to the forest and said,

"Whoever you are, show yourself. If you're here to attempt to kill me, at least do it like and man. Get out on this path, and show me your face, chaavla, so that we may fight honorably."

The Kyuzo proudly walked out of the woods 20 meters to the right of the Mandalore warrior, surprised he sensed him in the woods.

"Impressive." Said Ano, he drew his bowcaster from his holster that rested gently on his back. "But I think the time for talking is long gone Ji'kel."

He aimed the nowcaster squarely at the mans chest, and pulled the trigger, the bullet moving dead toward it.

But Ano was smarter than to just stand there. He quickly hid behind a tree to brace for a counter-attack.

Heh. So the bounty hunter was behind him. Ji'Kel had one of his lightsabers in his hand in a flash, activating it to deflect the Bowcaster bolt back to its original source, which had already retreated behind a tree. An intelligent choice to be sure. Grabbing one of his DP-09 pistols in his other hand, the Chiss threw his lightsaber in a wide arc, aiming to cut down the smaller tree and the crook behind it, keeping a hold on it with the Force. When the tree fell, he unleashed a flurry of blaster bolts (5, to be exact) at the area where it was, in case the bounty hunter had decided not to move and dodged the first attack.

"You should never have come here or accepted the contract, vod," Ji'Kel exclaimed, "what could the Red Suns possibly offer you? Just money? And you don't even have a sense of honor, not being able to fight a man face to face. The quality hunters these guys send after me is disappointing."

"You should never have come here or accepted the contract, vod," Said Ji'kel

Vod? That was rude... Probably.

The Kyuzo hadn't been hit by the lightsaber, but rather, the bolts would be a problem. He had identified a flurry of about 5 shots to be aimed right at his chest, but rather than running, he fell to his knees and used his hat to cover his whole body, deflecting all of the shots.

"Good luck with blasters."

Ano then primed a SCKO Grenade. More credits if the Mando was caught alive. He threw it right at the feet of the Mando, hoping the blast would knock him unconscious.

Ji'Kel quickly noted that if he wanted to attempt to use blaster bolts quick like that again, the bounty hunter's hat would have to be out of the way. When the hunter threw a grenade at him, the Chiss was unsure of its purpose, but quietly turned it around with the Force mid air and threw it back, along with a MZ-99 "Smackdown" grenade of his own.

Using the Force, the Mandalorian next threw a vibroknife at the hunter and guided it towards his arm, hoping to disable it by striking the inside of the elbow joint. With his other hand, he pulled down two branches with the Force to fall on top of the hunter. Good luck escaping that, he thought to himself.

 

[René]

The attack was executed perfectly, the grenades exploding next to the bounty hunter as the vibroknife buried itself inside his elbow. If the bounty hunter was even still conscious, the large branches that proceeded to fall on top of him would surely knock him out.

Ji'Kel stood tensed, his DP-09s pointed at the pile of branches covering the body, waiting for any sign of movement. After 5 minutes without any movement, the Chiss relaxed and placed his blasters back in their holsters. The Red Suns had failed to kill him once again, and the Mandalorian continued on his way, leaving victorious.
