Open Find the Girl

[Rakiss Vano]

After he was done with his.... endeavors he finally walked out and made his way to the rest of the group. Finally he sighed as he approached the other two, he leaned in a wall and spoke “You two seem to be having a good time.... oh never mind let’s just go get the girl I want to torch this place even more now. But first...” Then he showed his brother the whip he took.

“Fancy new hardware, getting out of the now corpse was a pain. Anyway come on I’m not seeing anyone else so either they are all dead or held up in the basement, I would expect that last theory to be honest.” He started to look around and noticed no one coming, after a few moments looked at the two on how they would breach the room in the basement area.

“Alright I got some small charges here enough to blow the hinges off this door... but first here.... take this capsule one of you it’s got a strong corrosive acid in it. Let it burn the controls taking it off line and making the restraint on the door lighter to make the charges work better. After they go off it should let the door fall right down.”

Rakiss stated this as he flicked the vile up slightly for whoever wanted it, meanwhile he started on the charges. Placing each one at the doors most weakest points. It was heavy but not impossible to open, after a few minutes it was all set and ready to blow then he stopped at the sound of steps. He turned at drew both blaster pistols off his waist.

“Hurry with the acid so I can blow the charges, I’ll keep you covered while one of you make sure it burns the console right through, as well as I’ll leave the detonator here just don’t screw it up.”

With that note he started to walk to the entry way and started to see people come to it at the same time as he did. He didn’t hesitate to start firing on the new comers. Using their body’s to bloke blaster bolts as he went he wanted to push them back as far as he could with the help of whoever would come. Either way by the end of this scrap the door would be ready to open and they would make their way to find the real targets they were after.

Coquelicot? Cas cocked a brow. The hell is that? She followed Laren’s gestures to his armor with a roll of her eyes. “Right. I meant between purple and black . . . ” Then she realized both colors together were his answer. That was acceptable, though she didn't have time to give her own.

“Weak stomach?” She checked her rifle at her counterpart’s question,. “Only when it comes to sweet potatoes.”

Upon reaching the other door further ahead in the basement, Cas took the capsule off Rakiss and dumped the stuff on the controls. The charges blew a moment later. She had made sure of her part so hoped that her two vods would cover Cas' ass.

The door’s hinges had been torn off like the limbs of acklay prey. Cas heard confused shouts from various males emanating from behind the door followed by the scream of what could only be one female.

“Breach and clear!” At that, the Mandalorian hugged the wall beside the door, forced it open and tossed a flashbang into the room and then a smoke grenade. The Mandalorians would have no trouble with their helmets. Everyone else was another story.

Entering the room, Cas’ finger was on the trigger. One bolt flew, struck a disoriented guard in the head. Another in the heart. She advanced, searching for Wex and Kara.

[Laren Vano]

Laren let a “hmph” as he continued into the room as the doors hinges blew. Once Cas entered the room Laren yelled to his brother to come join once he’s finished. Laren knew his brother could handle the problem and that this little girl needed more help.

Three men blinded in front of him from the flash bang stood confused and pointing a blaster randomly. Laren ran to them and Spartan kicked one into the wall while he blasted the second in the left eye. Then the third still unable to see tried to blast Laren but missed. The Mando walked up slowly and grabbed the man by the throat and lifted him in the air as he ignited the lightsaber at his hilt and proceed to split the man in half.

After finishing up with his toys, he ran to find the sound of the girl crying for help and he looked to Cas who was slightly preoccupied, and decided to go in alone. He came across the locked door and decide it was time to put that strength to the test. He Spartan kicked it repeatedly until it finally busted open and then he found a man holding a blaster to a little girls head.

“Let her go and you’ll live long enough to see prison.” Laren had growled to the man.

“Help me!” She weeped.

“I’ll kill her! Back the kriff off before I put a bolt in her head.” The man yelled.

Laren had began to catch on that this is Wex Witt. The description matched.

“Wex, if you don’t let that girl go I will mutilate your body until there’s nothing left but goop.” Laren had reignited his saber and awaited an assist from a Mando. Hopefully they shoot the weapon out of his hand and Laren can move in to destroy the target while the others take care of Kara.

“Don’t worry Kara I’ll get you home.” Laren said sincerely to the crying little girl.

[Rakiss Vano]

Rakiss now I realized he was alone now that he heard Laren yell, “Just my luck.... Fine guess I’ll handle this!” he sighed to himself and he was pinned down.

Hope you like fireworks!” He said as he threw a thermal detonator, seconds after it landed and a large crash from the explosion could be heard. Rakiss got up slowly as it was now silent. “Worked better than I thought.... I guess I’ll head back to the others.” He said as he turned to make his way back to the door, then he saw the room filled with smoke, his helmet helped him to see as he walked it he couldn’t see everything but he saw the carnage that Cas had managed to cause.

“I’m just gonna leave you to whatever you have here.... I’ll find Laren.” then spotting him and Rakiss walked until he could see that he was there with the target and the girl. He came to his brothers ride and went helmet only coms so to not let the other two here. “Thanks for the help back their little brother.... but I see now our hands are tied. We gotta do this fast.” Rakiss slowly putting a hand on Blood thorn his new whip, while still speaking.

“who are you going for? I’ll wrap whoever you don’t go for and we can go from there. I just don’t want the kid hurt or to see us hurt this poor soul when we get hands on him. I’ll move on your go Laren count it down.”

Rakiss was ready and could wrap and grab whoever Laren wasn’t going to go after either way it would have to be done fast as to keep the target off his guard.

“Fine by me!” Cas complied with Rakiss’ insistence on leaving her to the room. There were plenty of tangos to dance with. It was more like a hall and, as she pushed through the smoke to see where it did not cover, it appeared that it was a rather large wine cellar. Liquid poured and spurted from barrels of all kinds as misplaced bolts barreled into them.

Cas plugged a few bolts into a di’kut’s chest. Then out of nowhere someone leapt into her. His hand was on her rifle, jerking it downward as the two tumbled to the floor. With her rifle out of her grip, she reached for her pistol. Bastard slammed a knee on her wrist to pin her arm to the floor. Fine by me. Her free hand whipped out her knife in a flash of steel that found the gap between two ribs and gouged the heart. Her attacker slumped over a moment later and his killer hastened upright with her weapons upon her.

[“Cas! Oh C-a-a-a-s-s-s!”] Rawl’s voice erupted out of nowhere in his master’s helm.

[“What do you want, you little runt!?”]

[“The acklay’s dead, Cas. The other beasts have either been put down or put back. Which means—”]

[“—Which means this building’s about to have a drukload of reinforcements.”] She finished after finishing another fool with the length of her sword.

“Hey vods!” Cas roared across the room to where Laren and Rakiss had ended up. “We’re gonna have company!” Another bolt. Another brain. Another body. "Whatever you're doing, do it quicker!"

[Laren Vano]

Laren had been staring down the creep. How could someone be so heartless to take a child? It didn’t matter at this point Laren knew he was going to kill this man and bring his head to the guild for his compensation. So there was only one more thing to do, here and now.

He let his comms be open for all to hear as he would speak in his native tongue of mando’a to his brother.

“Ve'ganir te adiik, ba'slanar te jag at ni.”

It came out as a growl. And once Laren had seen the whip fly he shot his blaster. The bolt hit the hand of Wex, forcing him to release the grip on his blaster and the hold on the girl. Rakiss had pulled the child to safety as Laren made his way towards Wex. Time was af the end for Witt.

“For a man with the name Witt.. you’re not very bright.”

Laren blasted a bolt into each of his knees. Wex had lied on the ground in pain as Laren kicked away his blaster and knelt on one of his arms, claiming a top mount position. Then with his vibro knife he stabbed the hand of the arm being knelt on forceful enough to send the blade into the ground. Then Laren moved to kneel on the other arm.

“Now you are all mine.”

Laren began punching Wex repeatedly left, right, left, right, over and over. Then he released the mechanical claws on the finger tips of his hands and started tearing open his flesh all over. Once the man was too weak to fight back he ripped the vibro blade from the ground and his hand, and set the man over a stool.

“Now you will bear the mark of the blood eagle. If you scream, you will never be known as a warrior and only ever a coward.”

If there were any attempts to stop him he’d simply push the person away as began to rip his knife through the spine of Wex. From top to bottom. Then he cute each rib spray from the spinal cord and pulled open his back. The screams of Wex were enough to bring any guards to their location. But what they would see.. if they lived.. it would them in their nightmares. Laren kept opening him up until every rib was opened and his flesh folded out ward. The final step was to pull each lung out and set it on the shoulders of Wex. This would take only a few minutes for him to eventually die from.

The blood eagle was a tradition to his clan before they were wiped. It was done to the most despicable of people. Now Laren was covered in blood. He’d need to rinse off before entering his ship. Hopefully there was a fountain nearby.

“Now to claim his head and we’ll be off.”

Laren pulled out and ignited his lightsaber. A purple hue filling the air. And with a single strike he beheaded the target. He then retracted the blade and reattached the hilt to his belt. Laren grabbed the head by the hair and placed it in a burlap sack, tied it to his waist and began to head out to face the rest of the crew with his brother, and friend.

[Rakiss Vano]

Rakiss let the whip out and forward as fast as he could. The moment the little girl was released, it wrapped around her and he pulled her to him and hugged her as he stood with her on his arms.

She was crying, trembling, and just seems all too bad for the situation.... Rakiss understood. He knew things a child should never have to endure, for him and Laren it was the lose of their clan and parents right before their eyes in a bloody mess.

Rakiss wanted to exit quick, turning the girls head forward, knowing full well what was to come next and wanting to shield the young girls eyes from things no shield should see such as things that were normal for the group of mandos.

Rakiss walked out of the room he had a short time to speak with the girl before they would have to leave. Kneeling down and letting her sit on a nearby box, she looked almost scared of him still tears in her eyes.
“Now now little one..... no need for those tears on your face, you must be Kara right?”

He said in a calm, soft voice, he removed his helmet to show his face. Once Kara saw this she let up a bit, and let him wipe her tears “Yes... I-I am” “That’s a nice name, please don’t be scared anymore ok? Your father asked for me and the others here with me to come bring you home, wouldn’t you like to see you dad?”

“Yes I would..... I miss my family so much!” Rakiss knew the feeling, that pit of a family once there now gone was like a void, left in checked it could lead people to do terrible things. He hoped to do for this girl what he could never do anymore, see there parents and lead a safe life.

He smiled at her, “Then what are we waiting for? I have a ship close by it’s got big windows that you can see out into space as much as you want, maybe even find you something special for you that you can bring home to your father how does that sound?”

The girl smiled and giggled slightly nodding her head slightly. “Alright then come her I’ll carry you, it will be faster and maybe a little fun hehe... let’s get you home.” Rakiss with the girl now on his back looked around, after a few moments of moving things in the room he found a large grate, after thinking a moment he kicked it a few times as it gave way. Looking into it with thermals in his helmet he could see it led somewhere else that where they were.

Moving to Cass after spotting her, he came up to her a a spoke setting the girl down momentarily and taking items off his belt. “The young one is fine I checked her, here take these the last of my charges, puts these to the entrance. Once they get close enough blow it to block it off, and before you say it I’ve already found another way out just in this room. Vent hole pretty decently sized. Once your done make your way through to get up to ground level, you and my brother find your way to your ships and take off in different directions to throw them off.”

Rakiss heard a faint scream, so he knew his brother was almost done with his little things he had going on. “I’ll do the same and take the Kara with me my ships smaller and faster, I’ll send coordinates for our meet up so we can get this one home.”

putting Kara on his back again he walked over to the vent opening and paused “Let’s get you out of here little one, and to those still here please don’t get hurt, can’t have the mandalorian peoples numbers go down any further, and Laren the clan needs the younger half of its leadership. Until then see you on the other side.”

He started through and it became dark. Rakiss could feel Kara tremble again he kneeled and took his helmet off and gave it to her “Here little one, this will keep you safe and let you see this dark place be bright.... better?” She nodded as Rakiss cracked a red chem light to help him see forward. He stood up and started to walk again. After a few moments they emerges on ground level in a drainage away from the residence. Rakiss told the others he made it out and paused when he looked to see the house damaged but not nearly torched enough.

Taking a moment to lead a capsule on his wrist bracer that would launch out he spoke. “Look fire works hehe....” The capsule was launched and ignites small then red smoke and white sparked fluster out as it consumes the house. It did look cool to Rakiss and Kara giggles her young mind finding joy.

then he took his helmet and started off, making sure he wasn’t followed then making to a hiding spot close by to wait for the others so they could all leave, he hoped they were all doing well and knew they could handle it.

Cas continued to struggle with the opposition. She was alone in the cellar, one Mandalorian up against a dozen and more armed goons, but was she alone? No, of course not. She had her beskar’gam and everything that came with that on top of her skill and experience as a deadly bitch. Outnumbered? Sure. Outmatched? Nope.

Rifle sprayed, pistol whipped, sword slashed, vambraces sent out whipcord and wristblade. As she tore across the hall, just then cartwheeling to scrape her blade across the face of some di’kut with an ugly face, she heard a scream in the distance. It was no doubt the same position that Laren was in. It was not his scream, was not a girl’s scream. That’s the scream of a man under the knife of a Mandalorian…

She had no time to imagine the scene, the fun lost on her present predicament as reinforcements suddenly burst inside the cellar. They had come from the outside grounds after dealing with the acklay and its friends. Now they were zoning in on the hand that paid them, even though that hand was likely being sawed off right about now.

The reinforcements stormed inside, some shooting blasters, the bolts pinging off the beskar. Meanwhile, the armorer tapped a finger on her vambrace. One of the thugs whistled a covert command for positioning, but they would not have time to fly. Cas would.

A moment later and whistling birds soared from her arm. Beskar projectiles exploded like firecrackers upon reaching their targets, annihilating every single one in a single pinch. The wave of support was taken out like a Jedi pushing the Force against an ocean. And like that, the cellar was quiet—save for the screams.

Cas caught Rakiss navigating his way throughout the room with a girl in tow. That could only be Kara. Accepting the Vano’s charges, she placed them at the entrance without delay. A boom! took out the only other way in and Cas followed through the vent moments later. She would split up with or without Laren beside her, but only after confirming the fate of one Wex Witt.

[Laren Vano]

Laren had left the room covered in Wex Witts blood. The gruesome event that occurred would scar those who had weak eyes and stomachs. What was done, was truly a horrific sight.

Then he came across Cas who had been heading to the vents. So he followed suit. As he made it out he looked at the two Mandos and the girl, Kara. Thank the stars she’s okay. The whole operation was successful. The last thing left to do was get out of here and return the girl to her father.

Laren was sure that there would be more like this, but he was prepared for it. Death comes to those who deserve it. Tonight that was Wex Witt. The Mando was ready to get off this planet. He followed the group to where the ships were and took a seat on stump. Then looked up.

“Brother, take her to her father. Cas and I will bring Wex’s head to claim the bounty.”

Then he sighed in relief. Thank heavens it was finally done.

[Rakiss Vano]

Once the group had gotten out and made their way back to the ships, Rakiss tapped his arm bracer and opened his loading ramp. Soon he set Kara on a crate just inside and told her to sit there for a moment. He turned to the group and spoke.

“I’ll be off with the little one Kara, glad you all made it out safe. Cass thank you for the assist it was most helpful, Laren good work, I’ll see you when I can and if not soon then back at our clans home travel safe brother.”

Then he returned to his ship and grabbed karas hand, he would sit her down in the cockpit near him as he prepped to take off. As they lifted and left the world Rakiss smiled as he took his helm off. Looking about the crockpot he found a small braclet he had for years. A bares symbol of good on it, and he turned to Kara and offered it.

“Something to remember us by ok? When you see your father and we are not around, remind him he always had our help little one as well as you.” smiling and giving excited nods she took it without hesitation. The trip would do Rakiss good, wether he said so or not. One this was certain it wouldn’t last, another call would be made and once again he and his other mandalorians would be called for more action, but that didn’t sound all that bad to him.

The sight of Laren’s new armor dye made Cas wonder if red was actually his favorite color instead of black and purple. Whatever he had done to Wex before taking the di’kut’s head had not been pretty, though all things considered Laren did look pretty in red.

Cas stood beside her compatriots with her arms crossed and a nod at Rakiss. “You fought well, vod. We’ll do it again soon.” That appeared to be a shared trait among the Vano brothers. It was a shared trait among Mandalorians.

Cas idled a moment longer beside Laren. They could afford the moment since they were at their ships and well away from the chaos still consuming the compound. Rawl had escaped to be on his master’s back. The droid had confirmed that the slaves had fled at the first opportunity.

["Your friend looks bloody, Cas.”] The beep-boop was for his master’s internal comlink only.

[“The blood of his enemy. That enemy no longer needs it.”]

“Well…” Cas addressed Laren. “Who would’ve thought that the two of us would have such adventures after getting drunk in a cantina?” She tilted her head. “By the way, I’m pretty sure someone kidnapped me in that cantina, but I won’t hold that against you.”

Whatever Laren’s response, the two would board their ships. Then Cas would call across the coms to both brothers. “Look outside your window, boys and girl… I’ve got a gift.” With that, her naked eyes turned toward the former estate of Wex Witt. He would no longer need it.

-BOOM!-

Rakiss had not been the only one with bombs on his person. Cas had left a present in that cellar filled with flammable liquids and explosive containers. After the charge detonated, the whole basement erupted and in that same instant so did the whole building. Flames twirled beside the dance of debris. -Boom!-Boom!-Boom!-

“Fireworks!”

They paraded the Mandalorians on their departure as the Winged Pike flew off into the night.

[EXIT]​

[Laren Vano]

Laren stood up after the comment on the cantina. He knew she could handle herself. Even drunk. There was no playing the victim card on him. She was a Mandalorian after all.

“I knew you’d be fine.”

Then they went their separate ways as they entered their respective ships. It was a long days work complete. Two bounties, executed with near perfection. It could have been a lot worse, though with the Vano’s and Cas? It was sure to be easy.

Laren made it onto The Unforced and fired up the engines. As soon as he was taking off Cas mention a surprise. Then there they were. The pretty colors of a plantation up in smoke. It was a delight to see.

“Very nice Cas. You beat me to it.”

Now after all this, only one thing left to do. Bring in the head of Wex Witt and get paid. The bounty complete, and the Mandos well on their way.
