"Look, I don't have time for this. You want the blaster or not?" the man looking around desperately, waiting for my answer.
"I'll take it." I say twisting the blaster around,inspecting it's fine craftsmanship.
The blaster was a DL-18, a shiny yet experienced blaster. The blaster was no stranger to conflict,scratches upon the surface leaving marks like battle scars. Still, a fine blaster for combat which is what I was going to need. A mercenary,the mercenary of the Hutt cartels. I made money from the killings of those who crossed the families:Simple. Well that was until the Empire arrived, they began crossing with the cartels and depriving me of my credits. Nar Shaddaa was the capital of crime,under Hutt rule. The Hutt families were not happy of this new form of rule-
"Drayde,outside. Quick!" the captain's eyes were shining with fear. Desperation in his voice. I knew it was serious.
I ran,zooming down the hall and busting through the doors of the balcony.
Imperial ships covered the sky. It wasn't long before they began marching through the streets. Before I could even reach the council room, loud bangs could be hear echoing through the halls. Imperials began busting into the palace,blasting guards. Bodies dropping quick and blood began streaming down the floor like a river. Then, I feel chills down my spine.
"Where are the they?" I hear a voice. Fire exchanges follow.
"Who? The Hutt council? I'm afraid you've got the wrong idea-" before I could continue the trooper points his finger,signaling towards the council room.
"We're searching the area." The trooper states,pointing his blaster around and anticipating fire.
"I can't let you do that, ma'am." I say hoping to distract him.
"What did you just say? I'll blast you." he states,his finger on the trigger.
"I wouldn't if I were you." I quickly draw my blaster,firing.
Smoke filled the air but nothing could be heard. When the smoke cleared, multiple bodies of Imperial troops were scattered around filling the entire room.
"That's why." I say kicking the lifeless body of the Imperial soldier.
