We all looked out the window waiting for his next move “is that the only way out?” Cara asked and I shook my head “the sewers, the Mandalorian have a convert in the sewers, if we get down there we can escape” I whispered as Din checked for an access point.
“I found the sewers vent” Din alerted as we tried to open it Cara shot it and it didn’t open “I encourage a moment of consideration, my men have assembled an E-web (a big gun) and if you are unfamiliar with it I’m sure the republic shock trooper Carasynthia Dune of Alderaan will advise you she has seen many of her ranks vaporized mid-landing” I looked over to Cara who shrugged “how does he know this?” she asked and I shook my head “they have tabs on everyone” I whispered as she looked back ahead.
“or perhaps the decommissioned Mandalorian hunter, Din Djarin, has heard the songs of the siege of Mandalore when gunships outfitted with similar ordinance, laid waste to fields of Mandalorian recruits in The Night of a Thousand Tears” looked to Din who was visibly more angered and then I heard him start again “if neither of you recall maybe the former Imperial member and former Padawan to Obi-wan Kenobi, Meria Skywalker is familiar with them as around the time she helped plan the assassination on Darth Vader there were earlier models to this weapon that she may have operated as a mere child, resulting in the death of many innocent people all because she wanted to please her father” I clenched my fist and looked down
“you know nothing about me!” I yelled as Din grabbed my arm “oh but I know more than you think, we know more about you than we do most all because of your poor choices, if you weren’t such a suck up you may even know the location of your brother, but he’s probably dead by now” my heart fell at that thought and my eyes went blurry and I looked to the gate as Din wrapped his arms around me “your brother isn’t dead” he mumbled and I pushed his arms off of my “you don’t know that, nobody does” I cried and he reached out for me
“go discuss with your team I’ll work on the gate” I mumbled as he attempted to pull me “I saw the way they looked at me, I’m a murder Din go talk to them without me” I pushed him away as I grabbed my lightsaber.
“I was a foundling, when I became of age, I was sworn into the creed the only record of my family name was in the records of Mandalore” I stopped listening in as I got an idea “Quill has been terminated” I turned my head “what did you do?” Din asked and I grabbed his free hand “I am fulfilling my base function, nurse and protect” I smiled and I grabbed my lightsaber “this is our chance, if he arrives on the speeder he’s shooting, so that means we join him” I ignited my lightsaber as it glowed a bright blue color “blue always suited you kid” I turned seeing my father “don’t say anything, just show them what your made of I’ll be right beside you the whole time, as long as you have that saber you have me” I nodded and turned back around “wait for the signal” I whispered as we stood there for a couple of minutes hearing shots get closer.
As I ran to the door leaving and joining the droid cutting troopers in half “Din get the big guy!” I yelled as he ran to it mowing the troopers down until an explosion sounded at the bar and I saw Gideon raise a gun hitting din in the head as I ran over to him “shit, you ok?” I questioned as he looked at me nodding standing beside me as he raised his gun causing an explosion sending us both flying.
I caught myself but saw din laying beside me I reached down picking din up throwing him over my shoulder almost falling in the process as everyone followed me inside.
“this is our only path out, can you clear it?” Greef asked the droid as he walked towards it and I sat with Din trying to wake him up
“I can’t help you if you don’t wake up!” I yelled “please wake up, I can’t loose you too” I mumbled feeling for a pulse, a faint one appearing below my finger tips “I’m not going to make it, just go” he weakly grabbed my hand and I squeezed his back 10x harder “you’ll be fine, I can help, please just don’t say that” I started crying as he looked at me “the odds are low that I’m going to survive, just promise my you’ll protect the kid- Grogu” he mumbled and I shook my head.
