May The Way Be With You

Victory

We've taken them by surprised, dropping about ten troopers before they realize what's happening and fire back. We manage to kill another ten before we're captured and tied up. Grizel paces in front of us, stopping when she sees I'm defiantly looking up at her. She's still insanely fat, looking like a hutt fucked a frog. She whacks me hard in the head with her cane, then snaps her fingers so the trooper holding me down pushes my head down.

"Seven months and you've forgotten your place. Let me remind you!" She snarls. She starts beating me with her cane, and I barely manage to sneakily double tap the comm bracelet. She's gotten weak in her old age, for the beating doesn't hurt as much as it used to. I start laughing, making her pause. She starts to beat me harder in her anger, and I keep laughing. "What the hell is so funny you stupid bitch!?" She screeches.

"Don't you know it's never wise to harm a Mandalorian's employee, let alone their friend?" I smirk, looking up at her. She snarls at me.

"I'm calling your bluff, whore! That Mandalorian tossed you from his ship like the garbage you are!" She shrieks.

"Did he? Or did we just fool you into thinking he did?" I smirk. As if waiting for the perfect cue, the windows behind me shatter, and I see Mando do a roll over me, blaster out. He fires at the troopers while I roll out of the way. Jack gets free and is untying me as Jacsava flies in, taking care of Dumbfuck.

That Feeling tells me to go to Grizel's trophy case, and grab what looks like a black and silver handle. I run over and break the glass in the case, grabbing the handle. Grizel screeches for me to stop, but can't stop me as she dodges a blaster bolt. I press a button on the handle, and a bright beam of purple light appears, heat radiating from it.

A trooper fires at me and I instinctually block it with the laser sword. Oh I really like this sword!!! I rush to Mando, covering his back to deflect blaster bolts back at the ones firing. One gets too close, so I swing and cut off his arm, the heat of the beam cauterizing the wound instantly. Oh I REALLY LOVE this sword!!!

Mando and I move in sync, like we are one being in two bodies. I duck when he needs me too, he jumps when I need him to, and if the brief glimpses I get of Jack and Dumbfuck's expressions are anything to go by, it probably looks badass to witness. Mando kills the last trooper as I have Grizel pinned in place, the laser sword to her neck.

"Stand down." Mando tells me. I do, and he grabs Grizel, tying her wrists together. He drags her out of the orphanage, and demands, "Tell the soldiers to stand down. Now!" Grizel glares at him, until I punch her in her fat face. She orders the troops to stand down, and the fighting stops. Fiona appears with Critz tied up like Grizel is, and Daljar has what looks like an imperial officer.

Critz, Grizel, and the officer are pushed to the ground. I see Mr. Goldwin standing with the gathering crowd, who all murmur at seeing Grizel and Critz in such a way. "Mr. Goldwin!" I call out. He looks up, and I can feel he's at a loss for words. "If I recall correctly, you're actually the one who's supposed to be in charge. Your family lorded over Gavin X for eons, until a very young Grizel killed your grandfather. Step forward." I command, feeling a sudden sense of authority. He does so, standing before me and Mando.

"I am but a citizen now. It's the will of the people who should lead, not blood. Let the people decide how these two are punished." He says. Mando nods, and turns to the crowd.

"You have all suffered at the hands of these three. What say you their retribution?" He asks.

"DEATH!" The crowd screams unanimously.

"UNHAND ME NOW! YOU WILL ALL PAY FOR THIS!" Grizel shrieks, fighting against her bindings. I take Mando's pulse rifle from his hands and hit her in the head with it. Not enough to knock her out, but she's definitely in pain. Fiona, Jacsava, and Daljar drag the three to the gallows Grizel so loved.
