~The Forging room~
Anir focused on her skills in forging, not focusing on anything else. her gravity hammer slamming onto the raw beskar, following the way of the armorer...
'When one walks the way of Mandalore, you are both hunter and Prey...' she thought to herself, the way of the old Mandalorian Crusaders of the first ages, her father taught her that they always followed the way of Mandalore...
protect your fellow Mandalorians...
Never reveal your face to those who are unworthy of viewing it...
The foundlings are the future of the way, and to preserve the Beskar for them...
"This is the way." Anir said as she finished her forging of the Beskar sword.
she put the sword away, returning to her training, until she felt something...
"VanX?" Anir said as she felt something about VanX, she had a bad feeling about him.
~Space~
General Grievous would be sweating bullets if he could still sweat, this Mandalorian was relentless, the Razor Crest followed after his ship and was firing like insanity, VanX was screaming in primal rage as he was being angered at not hitting Grievous' ship already.
"Kad Damn slippery cyborg abomination!" VanX said as he continued to fire at Grievous.
At that moment VanX noticed the comm going off, from the ID it was Ursa calling. "Shit!" VanX said as he answered the call.
he was greeted by Ursa with a happy look on her face. "VanX you won't believe it!" she said.
"Yeah Ms. Ursa uh I'm kinda fucking busy right now, can't really answer right now!" VanX said as he continued his chase, not seeing a third ship had exited hyperspace and joined in on the fight.
The Bounty Hunter Cad Bane followed after VanX's Razor Crest. "Hm, A Razor Crest, eh? Nice ship, too bad Grievous hired me to take you out kid." Cad Bane said as he chased after VanX and Grievous, opening fire on the Razor Crest.
"VanX don't you use that language, not even with me, I've got some good fucking news here and you don't want to hear it!?" Ursa said to VanX.
"Ironic that I can't curse but you can? ~" VanX said but a shot from Cad Bane's ship caused VanX jerk around from the force.
"What the hell?" VanX said and looked around, he looked at the Razor's sonar and saw a ship was following him, he pulled the Razor Crest back and tried to slam into Cad Bane's ship, but the Bounty Hunter was smarter than that and dodged it and swerved around, re opening fire on VanX.
"VanX what's going on?" Ursa asked.
"I've been chasing General Grievous, but now I'm being chased by another ship, let me run a scan of the ship." VanX said as he activated the Razor's scanning tech to identify Cad Bane's ship.
"It's Cad Bane, that charlatan thinking he's worthy to have those Mandalorian Vambraces." VanX said as his scan finished and showed who was firing at him.
"VanX I need to tell you something, it's about Aunt Bo." Ursa said in the comm, standing next to Bo-Katan who was reaching up to the holo communicator.
"What is it?" VanX asked as he tried to dodge Cad Bane's shot's, not noticing the Razor Crest's missle detection system was going berserk, Cad Bane's targeting system had locked on and he shot two Ion torpedoes.
"Your Aunt Bo's awake!" Ursa said as she lowered the holo communicator to show Aunt Bo in the bed who was mumbling.
"What~" VanX said but at that moment...
The Razor Crest exploded from the Ion Torpedoes Cad Bane shot, the feed on Ursa's holo communicator went out, Ursa and Bo-Katan both grew worried as they saw VanX's feed go out, Ursa looked at Bo-Katan for a moment and walked away from her and looked over her Vambrace computer pad on it, looking for a signal for the Razor crest.
"Scan for the Razor Crest..." she said into her computer pad.
"Destroyed." the computer pad said in its robotic voice.
"What!?" Ursa said in shock.
Bo-Katan mumbled in worry and shock as she reached out. "......V...VanX!" she said as she began to cry, Ursa turned back and came back over and hugged her as the two of them began to cry together...
~in space~
VanX floated in space in the rubble of the Razor Crest, the Razor Crest's oxygen tanks slowly sprayed their contents out and provided VanX a little breathing time, but his body was slowly freezing solid.
"Huh.... so.... this is how it ends..." VanX said to himself.
"Mom... Aunt Bo.... Ms. Ursa.... Mr. Djunda.... Anir.... I'm sorry.... but the cold of space is gonna kill me before the lack of Oxygen does..." VanX said as he closed his eyes, accepting death's warm embrace, at least they were safe....
End of Act two
~moments later~
VanX's frozen body floated in the rubble of the Razor Crest until a large light turned on and landed onto VanX, VanX looked up at where the light was coming from, seeing a large dark yet soft looking hand reaching down towards him, the hand looked large enough to hold his body, he noted that the hand was mostly white and some pink?
he noticed that the large woman reaching towards him had a symbol on her neck.
