The Journey Begins

[Chask274]

Nodding in appreciation to Seth, Aiden gestured to the Sith. "Take care of the psycho with the glow stick, I've got these two idiots." Backpedaling behind a table, the Mandalorian drew his pistol with his off hand, and snapped a kick into a chair next to it, sending it skidding into the knees of the one the henchmen. While the thug was distracted, Aiden took the opportunity to put two rounds into his upper chest, then shifted his attention to the final goon. Standing his ground, he waited for the henchman to make the first move. "What do you idiots hope to gain from jumping us, eh?"

Nodding and wiping away his tears, Seth did his best to focus back on the situation at hand. Aiden could handle the others, it was the Sith that was a concern, and Aiden was very right about such a fact. Turning, and looking in the direction he'd.. pushed..? the Sith, he leveled his pistols in his last known location, though he seemed to have disappeared.

'Well that's to be expected.. Tricksy damn Sword wierdos..' Seth readied his pistols with a stance that was lower to the ground so as to stand his ground better, his pistols ready to quick shot him wherever he popped up. If he jumped out of nowhere, he'd atleast shoot 5 shots per pistol.

'Come out you Emo sword junky.'

The Sith had used the Force to speed away, into the shadows of the rafters above the Mandalorian's head, as he stared down at his perceived prey. He'd swiftly, and silently position himself back and to the left of the Mandalorian, at his blind spot. In a singular motion, he swung from the pipe he'd been holding onto and flung him diagonally at the battle-ready Mandalorian. Bloodlust and psychoses drove the Darksider to throw defense to the sind, heaving the hilt over his head, and extending the blade, eagerly as he fell upon the Mandalorian, haphazardly swinging to decapitate Seth, indiscriminately.

The Human was met with a chair to the grion, and two well-placed shots to the chest. falling limp to the floor. The Nagai looked on as he fell, unceremoniously, and snarled, at the Aiden. "Agh! Die already!" he belted and charged with his vibrosword in his right hand, and his pistol in his left, swinging high, at Aiden's shoulder, keeping the pistol barrel between him and his enemy.

 

[Chask274]

Aiden rolled his eyes as the final goon charged, his strategy not dissimilar from his comrades. 'Typical idiot, following his friends to death like lemmings over a cliff...' He held his ground as the Nagai charged, dropping his pistol back into it's holster and keeping his sword ready. As the man closed to striking distance, Aaron blocked his sword strike and snapped out with his off hand, seizing the pistol and drawing it against the armor plate over her abdomen. Even if it went off, his armor would be more than enough to take it. Drawing a leg up, he kicked the Nagai hard in the stomach while maintaining a firm grip on the pistol, wrenching it from his opponent's grasp.

As the merc reeled from the kick, Aiden flipped the pistol around in his hand, turning it on it's owner as he emptied the clip into the Nagai's center of mass. With the final henchman dead, that left just the Sith, who Aiden would now turn his attention to.

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

While on his swivel, Seth saw the Sith coming down on just in time, rolling out of the way of the Sith's blade. Quickly pointing to the door, Seth looked at the door, then directly into Aiden's eyes.

"We need to get out of here. Follow me!" Seth bolted through the nearby door, and began talking into his wrist, his comm channel open.

"S€ar£et! We need an evac, ASAP. Enemies close! Watch your fire!"

"Roger that. On my way."

'Hopefully that'll slow him down enough for us to get out of here, and get where we need to.' holstering his pistols, Seth turned it up a notch, and ran even harder.

 

[Chask274]

Aiden saw the Sith leap from the rafters, fixated entirely on attacking Seth. As Seth rolled out of the way and the Sith landed, Aiden blasted him three times in the side, sending him sprawling. Nodding in agreement with Seth, he booked it for the door. As he reached the threshold, he heard the Sith begin to get up and pursue. Smiling smugly, Aiden shook his head and laughed.

"Not today, dirtbag!"

He pulled a thermal detonator off his belt, primed it, and tossed it over his shoulder. Three seconds later, a fireball erupted out of the door, and the roof blew out. "Well that idiot shouldn't be getting up again..." When they reached the ship, Aiden wasted no time in getting onboard.

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

The freighter with much haste swooped in, spinning around, and open it's doors so as to collect Seth, and Aaron, the ships cross-hairs on the building they'd just left in the case she saw the Sith, though she might fire just because.. As soon as the two had boarded, Seth hit the hatch controls while shouting at the droid.

"WERE ABOARD! PUNCH IT!" lifting out of the zone, she threw the throttle wide open, and sped towards their destination once more. Slumping against the wall, Seth took a breather, and gave Aiden a smile.

"Not to bad. Not bad at all."

 

[Chask274]

Aiden slumped into the nearest seat, prying off his helmet and setting it aside. "Well that was fun. Nothing like a good old fashioned showdown in a cantina to keep things interesting." He went silent a moment before speaking again. "Why the hell were the Sith after you anyways? And why all the way out here? Not only are we across the galaxy from their territory, but we're deep in Jedi space as well. It's all very odd..."

Leaning back a bit, Aiden took a deep breath, before abruptly coughing it out of his lungs. "Erm, Seth, when and where were you considering to put Wyatt to rest?" The comment was out of curiosity, though the unspoken motive of getting the progressively worse smelling remains out of the ship was also present.

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

Seth's expression melted away slightly.

"Good question. I don't know. All he did was piss me off."

Seth looked at Aaron.

"On another note however, I wanted to get his holotapes first. I was waiting to see if they revealed anything before I decided on such a thing." He cleared his throat and got up.

"So let's get em'." About an hor later they touched down next to the ruins of what was his old outfits base. Walking to the building that Wyatt stayed in, as it was a bit separated from the rest of th compund, Seth rooted through the rubble, and found a safe. The safe was old, and locked, requiring a key.

Seth looked at Aiden, giving him a look.

"A little help?"

 

[Chask274]

Aiden simply nodded in response to Seth's replies, they made sense after all. He spent the remainder of the fight checking his gear over and ensuring everything was still in working order. He finished just as they set down, and followed Seth to the indicated building. When the safe was found and his help was requested, he crouched down and connected his lock-breaker into the lock's key slot. As he began inputting commands, a thought occurred to him, and he spoke up. "You know you're Force-sensitive, right? Only way you could've thrown the Sith across the room like you did. Probably at least partially why he had an interest in you too..."

He continued working in silence until finally the lock snapped open and the safe creaked open. "There we go."

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

"Force what now?" he stopped once the safe was open, giving Aiden a smirk, and wasting no time in heaving it open. When the door swung open, they saw special amunition, what seemed to be parts to something with a card labeled Seth on top of them. Next to them was a disassembled pair of blaster pistols, both in the same shape, and missing all the same parts. On the bottom shelf rested something made of fabric among some other trinkets, and what looked like special Mandolorian decor with another card, this time labeled to Aiden, but on top of the fold up fabric, was the holotapes. He'd even labeled them. One for Seth. One for Aiden, and one that read "Meet."

Grabbing his respective one, the one labeled "Meet", and the last one, he tossed Aiden his respective holotape. Gesturing back to the ship, Seth ran with aaron back to the holotable in the center. He input the "meet" tape.

"Hello Seth. Hello Aiden. And hello anyone who may be watching this. If you are watching this, then I've died, and passed on the knowledge that these tapes exist. I will state now, that this is my legally binding will and testament, in both Mandolorian, and Republic Law.

"To both Aiden, and Seth, I leave whatever is respectively labeled to either of you as well as Any property I have throughout the galaxy. This can be found on the holotape I labeled for Aiden as he will no doubt need it, though Seth will oversee the dividing of property fairly.

"To Seth in particular I have left a holotape with all of my teachings, as well as a few other things that connect to what I say after the next.

"Second to last, I name Seth my successor to my clan, and Aiden a secondary should he accept the offer.

"This is the end of my will and testament. Listen slosely to the rest of what I say.

"Seth. Our clan was destroyed by the rival clan, but the reason why is much more than that as I've discovered. They were hired to wipe us out. They killed everyone but you because that's what they were paid. The Sith were the ones to order the hit. I'm still unsure of exactly why, but it may have something to do with your sensitivity to the force." the holo visual of Wyatt sighed.

"You or the Outfit may not have known it, but I'd met force wielders before. I had suspicions of your dream the day before the outfit was wiped out." The holo Wyatt straightened a bit, and carried a stern look.

"Seth. I need you to watch the holo I've left for you. It contains special instructions I have for you that may take time. Please do so. The parts I leave in the safe are regarding that. I've also left you my original blaster pistols for your own discretion. And please. Stay with Aiden. He's a great ally, and will help you in your journey. At least keep contact with him. He has as much stake in what I've given you as you do.

"Lastly." he smirked nostalgically.

"Live long, live well, keep to the code, and may the force be with you both." and with that, the holo had ended. Seth motionless as his expression followed suit of his internal actions. He could only think, and absorb all that he had just witnessed.

 

[Chask274]

Aiden was stunned when he saw that some of the stuff was specifically labeled for him. "How...how in Manda did he know I'd be the one to be here?!" Aiden collected the various Mandalorian items and carefully wrapped them up in the fabric, revealed to be a clan banner of some sort. Tucking that bundle away in a pouch on his belt, Aiden caught the tossed holotape and followed Seth into the ship, where he watched the Meet tape in respectful silence.

When the tape finished, he looked over at Seth. "You ok, man?"

 

[Metal Gear Seth]

Seth was silent for a solid minute before he answered Aiden, his silence from the millions of thoughts shooting through his head.

"I uhhh." he took another solid moment.

"I'm blown away. He did so much after the outfit, and.." he kept pausing. The info was alot to chew.

"..to think he did all of this for me. And even more amazing, for you. I don't know how he knew you'd come along, but I don't care." he straightened up a bit and looked Aiden dead in the eye.

"This is alot of info. I just. I have all these new pathes to take now." he thought in silence a moment again.

"Yeah. And I'll walk all of them, and I'll walk them with you if that's alright. I need to learn what it means to be a Mandolorian, let alone what it means to be a force wielder.." he was glancing at the floor, and looked back up again.

"But you can guide me, so that's good enough for me." he held out his hand.

"Whataya say?"
