The surface of Utapau is dotted with enormous sinkholes created by a worldwide subterranean ocean. Pau'ans tend to live in the sinkholes, lining the hundreds-of-meters deep caverns with cities. And the Pau'ans have coexisted well enough with the Utai for generations upon generations, and in recent years Amani have started making little communities as refugees of the clone wars. The Izanami corporation is extending its hand to an Utai town that was severely damaged by a battle between the Republic and the Separatists. But first they have to defeat a band of pirates led by the infamous Weequay ruffian, Hondo Ohnaka. He is in for a very unpleasant surprise, however, because the Harrowers had gotten intelligence on his plans for the Pantoran aid, and they are going to set an example of those who start a fight with the Izanami corporation...
The pirates have a mobile camp set up a few miles away from the Utai village, and the Harrowers are assaulting it aggressively, not planning on taking any prisoners. Jinang is among the mercenaries on the ground, behind a crashed pirate fighter, firing shots at pirates with his blaster pistols. Jinang couldn't use guns very well before, but now the skill just seems to come to him naturally. Though, he feels very rusty, with the force helping him, he's still very useful. Up until now, Jinang hadn't thought much about the force, or rather he could still use it, but just like Koga's skills, the Jedi's abilities just sort of came to him when he needed them to.An enormous, shadowy figure steps towards the edge of the hangar entrance to the Harrowers cruiser. A Mandalorian warrior, formerly a high ranking squad commander of the Deathwatch who served before Pre Vizsla took charge. He has the highest bounty of any criminal in the Galaxy, but no amount of bounty hunters can defeat him. When someone wants to instill terror through maximum destruction, they send this man. He is the most dangerous man alive. He is the legendary mechanical warrior who blurs the lines between man and droid. He is known by many names, but he is most famously called - "ONYUDO!!" A Weequay pirate shouts in terror as the giant black figure plummets out of the sky from the Harrowers cruiser towards their mobile camp. Falling over 50,000 feet, catching fire as he pierces the clouds, Onyudo touches down on a squad of pirates on the ground, making a huge explosion upon landing and making a massive shockwave from his meteoric impact. His silhouette is seen rising in the smoke, and several red lights around his body gleam through the dust. Then, missiles, blaster bolts and fire is unleashed from the cloud of smoke, killing dozens of pirates with each second. From the other side of the enemy lines, Jinang had ducked behind cover with other mercenarie and witnessed the towering monster massacre 50 pirates in seconds. Then he sees Onyudo emerges from the smoke and step on a man's head, smashing it completely without any effort. He's a hulking mechanical monster with the shape of a man, equipped with multiple weapons that are all hot and ready. And black, beskar armor covers his body. The enemy weapons do nothing to him, not even a scratch, and he is killing the pirates as easily as sweeping dust away with a broom. He suddenly draws a huge, single-edged sword off of his back and with blinding speed, and he slices multiple pirates into pieces. Tiny homing missiles rapidly fire out of his left shoulder, 18 at a time, picking individual targets and whistling through the air to kill them. Four heavier hitting rockets launch out of his right shoulder, each one destroying cover, blowing apart the mobile buildings and destroying vehicles. His right arm has a built-in machine gun blaster turret that is normally mounted on a tripod stand, and his left arm has a precision sniper rifle that can pierce through a ship and then kill three men lined up. And both of his arms have additional rocket launchers and flamethrowers. There is one weapon he hasn't used at all though - a huge cannon on his back that Onyudo clearly doesn't need right now.
It was over in a few minutes after Onyudo joined the fight, and the pirate ships were all blasted out of the air with the Harrowers' ships that were greater in number and far superior in quality by all regards. To Jinang, this almost seems more like a calculated slaughter than an escort mission. Predators hunting prey. In fact - the Pantorans haven't even set foot on Utapau yet... All of the remaining pirates were rounded up, along with their captain, Hondo Ohnaka who was dragged out of his giant, saucer-shaped ship by his hair, after being beaten up pretty badly.
"Okay, boys!" Hondo says confidently, coughing after he was thrown into the dirt, lined up with the last few pirates that are still alive. "You got me! Haha! I surrender!"The pirates are lined up in single file, and completely surrounded by the Harrower mercenaries, all dressed in dark grey and neon green gear, without any consistency in what they wear or carry besides matching colors. Onyudo walks over to Hondo, with big, heavy steps that remind Jinang of an AT-TE walker.
"Big guyyyy!" Hondo says nervously with a fake laugh, getting up on his knees. "Alright. Since you're such a good sport, I'll give you a -"With a kick aimed under the pirate's jaw, Onyudo splattered Hondo's head into paste, like a glass jar filled with shredded meat. His headless body falls backwards and twitches around in the pile of mashed brains, shattered bits of skull and other fleshy pink pulp. Then Onyudo lifts his leg and stomps on the dead pirate's chest and smashes his torso as easily as flattening tomatoes under a sledgehammer.
"Fucking meat..." Onyudo says, his voice is deep and raspy, and sounds like hybrid of a man and droid's voice, and he sounds very pleased with himself.Jinang is shocked by the obsessively violent end of pirate captain Hondo Ohnaka. But his death was only the first of many brutal executions by the sadistic cyborg Mandalorian. He ripped up and tore apart the others until only one remained, who was forced to watch the carnage and listen to the screams. It didn't last too long, Onyudo focused more on over-the-top violence than inflicting drawn out pain. But he clearly derived sadistic pleasure from the violence. After it was over, the last pirate was tied up to pole that was driven into the ground where the bloody mess of Weequay chum lies in the now muddy ground, wet with blood.
Hondo's entire pirate crew is effectively gone now, with just about all of them dead. The ones that are left will probably find the man tied to the pole above the ruthless carnage, and know never to pick a fight with the Izanami corporation ever again... The Harrowers' client, Takemura Izanami, had instructed the mercenaries to set an example and send a very strong message, and the desired outcome was the result of this act of intense and gratuitous violence.After the slaughter, the Twi'leks and Pantorans landed shuttles in the Utai town without any resistance, and started delivering the medical assistance, as well as food and water, and even some toys for the children of the town. Jinang felt very uneasy about how the Harrowers very brutally executed several men, only to immediately go and play peace with the native people. But he helped out however he could and just worked through it. At the end of the day, a gang of pirates was vanquished and a village of people saved. So it isn't exactly a bad day. The Utai people were very, very happy with the help they received as well. And though most of them didn't speak Galactic-basic, their appreciation was made apparent.
