Laren received word that the daughter of Blackwell Executive Marten Okada was captured and kidnapped. Her name is Kara. This set him off vigorously. He immediately grabbed all information he could and began to head for his ship. “Let’s go BD she can be anywhere.” He spoke to his droid in a tone that was very different than usual. Laren hasn’t been completely angry at anything since he fought his parents murderer.

He began sending a message to an ally of his. “Hey Cas, got something for ya to stop drinking for. A little girl named Kara Okada. Daughter of Marten Okada of Blackwell has been kidnapped. She is suspected to be in the captivity of Wex Witt. I have coordinates to his living quarters here I’m sending them your way. He lives on the planet Vendaxa. He has a plantation there. I’m sure that’s where we find him and hopefully the girl.” If there’s one thing Laren will not allow, it’s taking children or killing children or anything bad being done to children.

“Meet me out side of the plantation and we’ll make our way in.” Laren sent the message out to her comm link on her ship ‘The Winged Pike’ such a classy Cas name. It suited the magnificent vessel.

Laren slapped The Unforced into hyperdrive and set autopilot on and stepped out of the cockpit. He headed down toward his armory where began preparing himself to kill just about anything between him and Wex. He was sure that he would do unspeakable things to this man once he gets his hands on him. And he knew Cas would feel the same way.

“What's that?” Cas called over the music blaring in her ship.

“I said my legs hurt! Really bad!” Came a voice over the intercom to reach her cockpit.

“Obviously.” Cas rolled her eyes. “That's what happens when I break them. I did tell you not to run.”

A message came over her comlink just then. She smiled. Anytime this particular sender sent her something, well, fun was bound to be had. It came in a few forms, kind of like dancing, drinking or fighting, though they hadn't done the first one yet. Laren Laren Laren. You again, huh?

After reading every word, Cas cross-referenced a few of them with the Bounty Board. Dang. That’s 150,000 creds. There was a reward for one wanted Wex Witt—dead—and the rescue of one Kara Okada. Knowing her partner, she further knew that he would be down for an even split down the middle. 75k a piece. Not bad.

“I’m...I'm in so much pain!” The voice came back. “C-Can you spare some m-medigel...maybe?”

“Say please.”

“PLEASE”

“Hmm, that’s odd…” Cas drummed her fingertips on the console. “...Pretty sure the bank teller said the same thing before you shot her in the face… So, um...no.”

“NO WAIT WAIT WAIT PL—”

Cas cut off the intercom and worked on sending a message back to Laren.

10-4. Sounds like a job for a pair of bucketheads. I’m all for crushing some di'kut's head like a bucket when it comes to kids. Will meet you at the rendezvous. Just gotta drop my own bounty off first. Guy won’t stop screaming. No idea why.

—Cas

With that, the Winged Pike took off like a winged pike, flying first to a prison barge and then to Vendaxa—and the pilot wasn’t even sipping from her flask.

The Unforced finally pulled out of hyperdrive and started leading towards the planet Vendaxa, where he plans to capture Wex Witt for answers. He felt it within him to save that little girl. He couldn’t imagine what she was going through. Well actually he could, he just didn’t want to.

After being the Unforced into orbit and eventually through the atmosphere he flew across the plains. “According to the coordinates it’s this one on the left.” He muttered to himself. He spotted an area behind a tree line close to the plantation. And he brought his ship down and landed.

He used his rifle’s scope to scout the plantation. There were guards. Not an overwhelming amount, just what you’d imagine. There was stables to the left of the lot. He could see where the crops were being grown at. The Mando was looking around for what the main estate was and finally found it. It was all the way to the back. Roughly 400-500 meters from the front entrance. Unfortunately there was no easy entrance along the sides of the plantation due to geographical situations. The only way in was the front.

Laren received a message just then. He pulled up his bracer to see the message on the holographic screen that popped up. And Laren couldn’t help better mutter at the message “Well of course he’s screaming you probably broke something.” Then he let the screen turn off as he brought his arm down and awaited his partner’s appearance. Of course he kept an eye on the plantation to see if anyone leaves or enters.

Cas set the Pike down close to the Unforced, pilot departing with droid tethered to her. Rawl rested on his master’s back, snug against the beskar as one Mandalorian approached the other with a helmet over her head. She came equipped full throttle, sporting sword and knife, pistol and rifle, and grenades to boot—with her boot if it came to it.

“Heyo,” Cas offered a greeting as she came beside her partner, using her own rifle’s scope to scout the plantation. It was quite a distance from the outer entrance to the inner entrance. Mandalorians though they be the pair would have to be careful about how they planned this out. Fortunately, Rawl was a scout droid. He wasn’t much useful for much else.

“What do you see that we don’t, little guy?” Cas inquired with an open comlink so that Laren could listen in.

[“Um, Cas?”] Rawl beep-booped back.

“...Yes?”

[“Those stables? Yeah. They’re, um, not just holding beasts for riding or racing.”] The droid poked his head a little higher over his master’s shoulder, no doubt zooming in with his infrared receptor. It could not see through walls but the stables had windows that posed no issue. [“That...that’s an...yep, that’s an acklay, guys.”]

With an appropriate grin behind her visor, Cas looked between the stables and the guards, and the wide open playing field between the estate and the Mandalorians. Then she looked at Laren. “Thinkin’ what I’m thinkin’?”

As he was finishing his survey of the plantation, another ship landed behind him. No.. the Winged Pike, bout time. “Faster than I thought you’d get here. But I’m glad. Out there is the place, take a look.” He motioned his arm to point in the direction of which he was just previously scoping in on. He waited for Cas take her turn in surveying the area. Then he heard her droid speak.

“Acklay? Well that’s just wonderful. Wait..” and then Cas asked the Golden question. “You thinkin what I’m thinkin?” Of course Laren was thinkin of the advantage they could gain by letting the Acklay out. Unfortunately collateral damage would be done to the slaves working in the field, but Laren is choosing to see it as a mercy.

He sat down on a rock and looked at Cas. “We’ll let em out. But once we get those stables open, we have to be quick. Gotta remain unseen by the guards and get into that estate.” Laren knew he could count on Cas. But maybe another set of hands could be helpful. “What’d’ya say about bringing Rakiss back in?” Laren knew his brother could be helpful with the plan. The girl will need all the help she can get. “Your cut stays the same, I won’t change your pay but we might need an extra set of eyes, ears, and hands for this.”

Laren was being his brother in anyway but he wanted to make sure she knew. For the sake of not surprising her when he arrives. He sent his brother coordinates with a message saying “Meet now, talk later.” He knew with the least amount of words his brother feels the need to show.

Now the only thing the pair of Mandos awaited was Rakiss. “Wex won’t know what hit him. Pathetic pile of rancor shite.”

Rakiss had just come out of hyper space and was entering the house planets atmosphere, within minutes was coming up to the surface. The message his younger brother sent was short, what had he gotten himself into he didn’t know but hopefully he wasn’t in too deep in whatever it was. He sighed as he stood up from the cockpit running a hand through his short black hair, grabbing his helmet and putting the ship to land on its own. Walking now he went to the exit ramp as it began to open, putting his helmet on he walked off the ramp right as it touches the ground. The landscape looked peaceful but that wouldn’t last long. Where Rakiss and Laren were involved it never ended well. Looking now to his wrist bracer on his right arm he honed in on his brother location. Then putting his com on and speaks to his brother “I just touched down and now on my way to you, I expect a full explanation to this Laren on why I’m out here. I won’t be long to get you to expect me soon, see ya then.” He stated as he began to walk in that direction to which his brother was located.

Cas was a Mandalorian bounty hunter with as many scruples as she was missing. Slaves who stayed slaves could only hope for the mercy of death, and theirs would be quick enough as long as the acklay did not toy with its food. They were not really her concern but, still, they would have the chance to flee while the estate’s guards would close in and become more of a target for the acklay than the helpless slaves.

“Rawl is small and quick enough to avoid detection,” Cas assured her partner as to getting in. “He can free the acklay. All we need is a diversion. Those guards will be too busy fending the beast off to worry about two Mandalorians sneaking in.”

At the suggestion of Rakiss, Laren’s brother, Cas just shrugged. “Sure.” She wasn’t fazed either way. A third Mando could help more than hurt. The main thing was what Laren already addressed: keeping her 75k. She wasn’t keen on sharing her cut so suddenly. The Vano brothers better not change their minds on that account or things might go south between the three of them. Cas enjoyed games but playing with money was not one of them. Unless it’s Pazaak, o’course.

The suggestion of sending her droid to free the Acklay was a solid suggestion. He wouldn’t be seen as food or much of a target. Laren could also send BD-1 to help with every cage. As many open animals as possible is what he’s going for. “Buddy prepare to help Rawl with letting out the Acklay you’ll be helping open any other cages as well.”

As for his brother, Laren simply ignored his annoyance with being summoned. “He’ll get over it.” He said calmly to Cas. Then he moved to the ledge where the two scoped the plantation. “Thanks for coming Cas. I know the money is good but, I knew you’d come for other reasons. You’re a good person. I’m glad to call you a frie-“ Laren was cut off by his droid. “Vweee-zibop” his droid was running out of the ship and jumped up onto Laren’s shoulder. “What do you mean you don’t wanna help Rawl? I need you to do this.” But BD was insisting not to send him. “You’re scared of the Acklay? After all we’ve seen and been through? Unbelievable.” Laren sent BD back into the ship. “That’s what I get for having a child for a droid.”

By the time Laren had remembered what he was going to say there was an interruption again but this time by the appearance of his brother. “Hello brother. Welcome to Vendaxa where kidnappers are bred. This doc should have all you need to know.” It was the doc Laren got from the bounty board. Had all the info on the Victim and Suspect.

As Rakiss came closer being noticed now by Laren he took the information handed to him. As he read in silence not saying a word since he had arrived, he read the doc over and handed it to Laren, then looking past just enough to see the area on from of them. He then took a step back and kneeled making sure all his gear was in its proper place, after a few minutes had passed he finally spoke. “You two already have a plan?....” paused for a moment and then spoke again “Some one is going to have their wind pipe removed, so I just want to know the plan so we can get started........ I’m glad you called me Laren you know how much I love the hunt.” He fell quiet once again and waited for anything else he would want passed on to him but he was eager more than anything for the job to start, coming from his and his brothers upbringing he took the matter quite serious and didn’t see a reason not to do so.

Good person?
Cas blinked at Laren’s assessment of her. A few had called her that before but ‘a few’ was few. She never much fancied the term herself. Speaking of ‘friends’, she smiled at Buddy’s hesitation. She had a feeling that if two Mandalorians did not become friends today then two droids just might. In the end, Laren’s droid chickened out. Oh well.

Rakiss arrived a moment later. Cas had met him on a previous job regarding nexu cubs and a Toydarian selling them. First nexu now acklays… We running a zoo or something? They weren’t so much buying these acklays as they were freeing them but still. Cas and Laren just then briefed Laren’s brother on their ‘plan’, such as it was, though she was even more confident in its success after relaying it to someone else.

“It’s a hunt all right, boys…” She delighted while ensuring her own gear was locked and loaded, namely the blaster in her hands. With that, she looked between the Vano brothers. “So, in short, I send the one brave droid we have to sneak into the stables and open some cages. Meanwhile, the three of us go in through the front door when everyone’s busy with the commotion.” She checked that front door. “Even if those guards stay put we’ll just take them out without getting spotted. Then we mosey along to the mansion, whack Wex, take the girl and be back home in time for tea.” Cas’ turn to pause. “Settled?”

Laren was listening to Cas speak. He stood and the turned his head to face her, “Easy said than done. These guards will be quick work. The problem is the beasts. If we aren’t careful, we’ll be Acklay shit by noon tomorrow. The sun is down, we use that to our advantage.”

It was finally time to strike. Laren walked to his wayfarer The Unfoced and opened the cargo port. “I’ve got speeders to get us out there fast. If we need to we could cut past everyone. But then we take the risk of being pinned down in the estate. I’ll leave it for you to decide. I just know once a decision is made we make our move immediately. We can’t waste any more time for the sake of the girl.”

Laren leaned against his ship and awaited the answers. It was only a matter of minutes before the trio was unleashing hell upon the likes of kidnapping dirtbags. “The clock is ticking..” Laren said with a sigh. He was wondering what has happened to the girl so far.

Rakiss listened to the two and stood silent for a moment. After a short time spoke to the group “She’s right Laren this will be easy... just do what is planned and it will be just that, simple. Look what say this, get those beasts out of their cages like you want, you two go through the front and I run along the back so two points of entry are made. Keep your coms open, whatever side you want to take I’ll take the other and find the girl as fast as we can.... once she’s out and we’ve gutted anyone dumb enough to get involved or get in the way. I’ll torch the place so anyone else wanting to play with these kinds of people will think twice. If mandalorians take anything seriously it’s family.... and we both know you don’t play with family unless you want the rest of the pack to run you down am I right? The last one to mess with ours got what they had coming, this isn’t any different.” He then turned his attention back to the estate they were watching and ran through his head possible search areas, he was ready and took his right side blaster out of its holster and started to walk to the groups right just below the hill to not bee seen by anyone at the building. “Your right little brother the clock is ticking so I suggest you get moving with your part of the plan, or do you want your older half show you how it’s done? I’ll see you when we enter the house, be safe... both of you.” with that he continued on knowing just what he would do to gain entry and give these low lives he’ll.

Cas shrugged at the prospect of becoming acklay poop. “Only if it eats us.” At the mention of speeders, she shook her head. “Too much attention. Any sharpshooters these goons have will focus on our vehicles and have a clear line of fire on our way to the building.” With Rakiss’ comment about torching the place, Cas gave him a chuckle. “It will be Wex’s way of going out in a blaze of glory.” She was partial to letting him burn alive when the deed was done and would have to think about that on the way.

“Ready, Rawl?” She piped to the droid hugging her back. He beep-booped his compliance and took off as his master turned to her two compadres. “Right, then. Let’s mosey.”

With Rakiss going one way, Cas and Laren went the other. At the front gate of the estate, there were two guards posted outside and another pair posted behind the gate. Cas found a safe scouting point, hugging the wall and holding up a hand if her counterpart got too adventurous.

“Gotta time this right. If we take those two out at the front the two at the back will raise the alarm. Just...” She checked the HUD on her vambrace. Her droid had not been spotted and was on his way in. “...A little more…” Out of nowhere there was a violent screech as though someone just had their limbs sawed off. It was yet the cry of one acklay which had just been freed, and Rawl was already working on causing a stampede by freeing other beasts from their stables.

“Oh shit!” Came the call from one of the gate guards. “We got this! You two go deal with that!” That left only the two guards outside the gate.

“...Now.” With that, Cas zipped forward and zipped her whipcord forward. It snatched a guard’s neck in an instant before she reeled him toward her. That would accomplish two things: Laren would have a clear shot at the other guard and Cas would have a guard of her own with whom she would convince to open the gate.

The group came to a decision. It was decided the group would split. Cas and Laren headed for the main entrance while Rakiss looked for another entry point. It was a solid plan.

The pair of Mandos moving toward the main gate found the two guards. It wasn’t safe yet to strike. At least until that little droid opened all the stables of Acklay. An efficient little runt. The distraction worked leaving only the two guards left. Cas claimed one already so now Laren was ready to lay his claim.

“Well looky here.” Laren said as he approached the guard who had his blaster drawn. But Laren didn’t care as he walked toward the man and drew his blaster in a swift motion and shot the mans hand. The man dropped the blaster and looked at the large Mando walking his way. “Please, I don’t want to die. I just needed the mon-“ before the man could finish his plea, Laren shot the man down with multiple blaster shots.

“You had your shot.” Laren said mockingly as he walked into the gate and stayed hidden from the beasts running about. Surely it would be noticeable where they’re at so avoiding should be quite easy. They just have to make it to the other side of the stables and it’s night night Wex.

Rakiss came around enough to see the back entrance, just one guard from what he could see. But he knew there had to be more, moving from different items within the area to hide his approach he came close to the estate. Having an idea he slid close enough to grab hold of the lone guard and held his vibro blade knife to his neck. “Quiet, listen or you won’t have a second chance to do anything else....” The man tensed up a look of fear in his eyes, but he gave a small nod to say he understood. “What do you want? I’ve just started work here and this? A mandalorian? I didn’t sign up for this!” “All you need to know is it would be wise of you to tell your friends to open this back door... understand?” The man nods, Rakiss almost felt bad for him he was a younger man around his age maybe younger, either way the mission came first. He let the man go and drew a blaster in his left had and had it poised to the man in case he was feeling to act stupid in this situation. The man moved to the door shaky and unsure, but non the less knocked and a voice came through “What?” “Hey could ya come out here? I found something and could use a hand checking it out.” “What is it?” “Not completely sure just get out please remember the boss wants this place secure.” A sigh through the door was heard then it opened to show another man large and annoyed, the moment he caught sight of Rakiss, he was struck down by the knife w was holding. Rakiss had thrown in into the head of the other guard as to keep things quiet. The body dropped leaving the two standing there still. Then the man asked Rakiss, “Am I next?” Rakiss then used the claws on his bracers and scratched the young man face slightly “Ah!” The man let out a small groan. “No your not dying today, not by my hand. Your young and lost you way seems like. Let that mark I gave you remind you what happens when you stray too far off the right path, and be grateful your living to reflect on it.” Rakiss then knocking the man over the head and knocked him out, dragging in away from the house where he would be safe till he woke up. Then walking back and grabbing his knife. He stepped softly onto the house and would next begin to search it until he found the target. “Laren I’m in let me know when you make entry, hehe just to be sure when things get loud none of us blow the others head off. I’ll let you two know if I find anything.” with that he then started slowly into the house for the next part of the plan.

Reeling the guard toward her, Cas released the whipcord around his neck to replace it with her hand. She dragged him to the gate controls while Laren worked on his own target, motioning toward the other guard’s body which was riddled with blaster bolts. “Open the gate or you get what he got.” The guard in her grip did not hesitate to open the gate. “Where can I find Wex Witt?”

“Pr-Probably in his bedroom or in the basement!” The guard coughed. “He k-keeps his trophies down there!”

Trophies? Cas had an idea of what that entailed. “Thanks.” At that, she protruded a blade from her vambrace and slit his throat before dropping his body beside the other. She had not lied; it wasn’t any blaster bolt that had gotten him.

Inside the compound, Cas checked her vambrace for Rawl’s movements and patched him through the com for both Mandos. “Status?”

[“Animals are freed, Captain Cas. Acklay is angry. Suggest steering clear.”]


“Roger, roger.”

He wasn’t off the mark. There was chaos in the compound as the pair of Mandalorians navigated it. Guards were rushing to contain the creatures that had escaped, with even the herbivores being so terrified that they charged toward anyone, but it was the acklay that was to be feared. It tore across the ground, ripping guards to shreds, and any slave that did not run quickly enough.

Cas did not have time to dwell on it. She used the opportunity to rush toward the estate. Laren briefed her on Rakiss already being inside. Now they had the front gate clear for escape. Things were looking up so far. Keeping it that way, Cas moved with Laren alongside the edge of the compound. Snipers were on the roof targeting the beasts and the acklay in particular, too distracted to spot a pair of Mandalorians as they snuck up to the estate.

The two of them ducked behind the wall of a platform that staircased toward the building’s entrance. Guards were not budging from it. She looked toward Laren. “Your play.”

Laren knew this would be an easy fix. Especially with his brother on the inside already. It was clear what Laren was going for when he called his brother over comms and told him “Guards front entrance.” And then Laren looked at Cas and said “Easy, now let’s start headin up there. They’ll be done before then.”

The pair snuck hot to the side of the estate and awaited the sound of bodies dropping before moving in. As they were waiting Laren watched the front grounds full of Acklay slaughtering guards and slaves left and right. It was really a shame the guards couldn’t do as good as he thought. “They should’ve killed at least one Acklay by now but I haven’t seen a single one drop yet.”

He couldn’t help but get disappointed with the way the guards fought. “What kind of guard is this. Figured it would be better.” Laren was ready to just meet this Wex Witt and beat the answers out of him. Otherwise this little girl could be gone forever.

As Rakiss walked through the estate his brother let him know about he guards out front, he knew what he wanted and would be more than happy to help. Taking a few seconds to get to the front door he stood there and thought a moment on how to do it.... finally he made his mind up. The door opens on his command and he sees the two as he steps between them “You two ain’t all that smart I’m guessing.” He said as he swung his right fist to meet the guard on his lefts face, staggering him back then whipping quick to let his left arms grapple wire wrap the right guards leg pulling it so he fell to his back. The one on the ground drew fast and tried to shoot Rakiss, little did he know it’s what he wanted and was happy they played into his game. Dodging the bolt of plasma as the other guard recovered just in time the eat the round himself. Rakiss kicked the blaster out of the guards hand and drew his own “Like I said... not that smart” then proceeding to blast a hole in the guards head. Soon after he started back inside with the two others not far behind if they followed. He didn’t get 10 feet back until he heard more guard “The blast is going on the boss don’t like all this noise.” Soon after at least 6 guards were spread between hallways and came out of rooms, and these were just the ones Rakiss could see “Hey you caused trouble for the wrong people! Kill them!” No much after this the hallway came alive with heavy gunfire. Rakiss rolled into a room just in time “I think I pissed them off! Take them out when you find an opening and move up! There are so many rooms here we have to move fast!” Then looking in the room he was in since the hallway was not a good place to stick his head back out of he saw one door leading to another room. He ran up to it and as soon as he got there it was bashed open knocking him back to the ground. So happens it was a guard that had been working the slaves not too long ago whip in hand. “Well what do we have here!?” a crooked smile formed as he flashed his whip, tho it wasn’t any kind of whip Rakiss had seen before and looked like it could put even a rancor in its place so sleek and dangerous at the same time. Just then a few others walked in Rakiss then turned his blaster to them and finished them off as soon as the man was able to whip the blaster from his hand. Rakiss went to draw the other but realized it was gone from his holster. He grunted in frustration, it must have been knocked out at some point in the struggle, only other weapon he had was his knife. Pulling it out and standing to face the man who took pleasure in spiting him “Looks like ya ain’t doing much shooting without your toys mando am I right? As the bosses right hand I see too it people know their place so allow me to put you in yours!” with that the man started twirling and thrusting his whip back and forth in any direction he could throw it at Rakiss who dodged left and right but still kept at a distance. “Think I might have found someone who knows where the targets are, now speaking of which I’m guessing you know exactly what I want to know so allow me to make you learn your place as I make you drown in your own blood!” He then spoke to the rest of the team. “Found a way to locate what we need you keep looking this one I’ve found is all mine!” The he started to try and advance on the man he was strong but slower than Rakiss so closing the distance wasn’t hard dodging that whip was. More people entered the room and couldn’t risk the blasters so tried to beat down Rakiss he took a few blows from different angles but returned them where he could and let his blade and claws dance about the room in a crimson dance of pain. Once the two were left again they had closed the distance but Rakiss was held by the whip that now grappled him. It’s touch harsh and cold now looking at it closing the whip was black but seemed to have a deep red inlay of sorts that seemed to shine or glow faintly. This now bringing on a sort of shock to the mandalorian he fought for control of his body to this pain. As he struggles he was dragged a bit and lost his knife “Come here boy I want to see the life leave you eyes when I finish you.” Rakiss quickly being dragged closer had an idea removing his helmet “Careful what you wish for!” He threw the helmet and hit the man in the face stunting his sight for just a second needed for Rakiss to be pulled close enough to kick and break the mans shin. The man falling back in anguish. Rakiss had broke the grip of the whip and stood and toppled into the man gripping his throat with one hand and his other raised in a clawed posture ready to end it. “Where’s the girl! I can make a man squeal like a pathetic animal of prey, and that’s just what you are and what you’ll do if you don’t give up where she is!” “The basement.... boss moved himself and her down there to a safe room..... you’d need something to blow it or you’d never get in.... heeee ahh... I can’t breath!” Rakiss gave a cold stare as his other hand laid in his neck and he tightened his grip “never call me a boy ever again.... come now let me see the life leave your eyes...” Soon after the man was dead and Rakiss was in the room alone while blaster fire still rang out in the halls and other rooms. Then he grabbed his weapons from the room and finally got his helmet back in hand. Now calling to the others “Clear the house the targets are in the basement in a safe room. I know how we can get in...... I’ll help in a moment just need to catch my own breath.” as he was about to put his helmet on his looked to the floor and saw the whip that he almost lift his life to. Picking it up and examining it now it was more elegant then he had thought for such a tool of pain. Engraved on the handle had what he only assumed was the whips name. “Crimson Thorn..... hell of a title... but I’m sure you still have a purpose, guess that makes you mine to decide.” He said as he coiled it and ties it to his waist. Now waiting for a chance to assist the others in anyway needed and hear what they wanted to do next about the rest of this hell house of blaster fire.

Cas was rather grateful that Laren had Rakiss onboard. His brother was already on the inside so could make quick work of the guards standing in their way. Sure, the pair had cleared a way between the main building and the front entrance, but if they had their cover blown now then they could lose the escape route later.

To be fair, the snipers had just begun firing from the roof in order to put the acklay down. Its chitinous armor had a way of being rather protective on top of Wex’s insistence not to destroy his property. After all, the lives of slaves meant nothing to him, the lives of guards not much more, but the creatures he had stabled were worth quite a catchy cred.

Whatever, the Mandalorians need not worry about that as they worked their way toward Wex. While navigating the mansion, Rakiss made it clear to Cas and Laren that both of their marks were in the basement, which corroborated with the gate guard. Cas would leave the replying to the Vano brother beside her as she worked her way amid the halls and rooms. Any resistance that came her way was first of all surprised to see armored Mandalorians who were quick to respond to them with lethal force.

For her part, Cas did not spend much time bantering with her opponents or engaging in drawn-out duels. She simply squeezed the trigger, swung the sword or otherwise dispatched her enemies into death with other means. The basement came next. Rakiss was to rendezvous with Laren and Cas upon reaching it. The two would wait for him.

“So…”
Cas nodded toward Laren while checking her rifle. “...What's your favorite color?”

Laren’s kin was not one to mess with. He knew that the guards were easy pickings. Laren made movement into the estate and eventually seeing that his brother was caught in blaster fire. “Here we go!” Laren said as he began walking down the hallway.

Almsot as if in slow motion the blaster bolts would fly by Laren and if he was hit the bolt only made contact with his armor, sending the bolt in the opposing direction. In the midst of the blaster fire Laren drew his own blaster and hip fired like a sheriff in an old cowboy movie. Dropping guard after guard, alongside his colleague Cas who made quick work of the guards in her wake.

Once the guards were dropped, the pair headed down to the entrance of the basement and awaited the arrival of Rakiss.

“My favorite color? Well coquelicot..” Laren his sarcasm set in to be almost believable. And after a pause of silence he tapped her arm with his elbow and made the gesture to the colors of his armor being Purple and Black, to imply that these were in fact his favorite colors.

“What about you-“ and before Laren could finish his question he was interrupted by the arrival of Rakiss.

“Ah brother! Welcome! Hope you found your stay at Witt Resort satisfactory as we only give the best of treatment to our clients.”

Of course Laren was sarcastic as ever, but he had to try to set his mind in a clear state before going into angry Laren mode. When in this state he is often referred to as an angel of death. He becomes more sadistic and terrifying to most that are not Mandalorian.

As the door was opening he looked over to Cas and said “I hope you don’t have a weak stomach..” and he turned away and entered behind his brother.
