A Small Detour
"This sucks..." Kirik Dankaal, an infamous bounty hunter along the Outer Rim was pissed. He had taken on a mission to eliminate an Bothan intelligence operative for the Imperium, but the mission quickly became complicated. The Bothan was smart. He even managed to lose them at Bakura where Kirik had to leave Iziz and his ship. There had been no time to run back to his ship or else he would have escape. As such the Bothan had still led him on a merry chase around the galaxy until they both managed to crash land here. In the ass end of nowhere in the galaxy. Dathomor or something. His ship was scrap and when he found the Bothans, with no sign of him, it was in the same condition. So it looks like he was stranded for now. He would have to find a city or try and fix his intergalactic comms that had been damaged in the crash. The Bothan was wounded and not able to hide his trail very well, so Kirik was soon closing the distance between them. "Inconsiderate...gunna kill him..."
As he came into a clearing, he paused. The tracks seemed to end here. Just vanishing without a trace. There was no way he could outrun or hide, so...a last stand. The attack came suddenly as the Bothan burst from under the pile of grass and foliage he had been hiding under. He was armed with a vibroblade and was already close, so Kirik's dual blasters were out. He quickly ducked and then dodged, before finding a moment to draw his own blade. Then came a song of clashing steel. For the next hour they fought, the Bothan wasn't bad. There were several close calls, but eventually the wound began to takes it's toll. With a spin and flourish, he cleaved the Bothan's head from his shoulders. As the headless body fell to the ground, so too did Kirik. He was exhausted; mentally and physically. He had been hunting this bastard without sleep for nearly three weeks and then had to fight an hour long duel on top of that. He sat against a tree and took of his helmet, breathing in deep as he rested.
