The Second Mandalorian- [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter Nine: Back At Eadu

"Don't go near her, and you stay away from it.", the Mandalorian called out to the pair on the back- The Child and a bounty.

Iri had been quiet the whole ride to Eadu, knowing that whatever she said would put her in danger. As they reached the planet, she decided to speak.

"Sir."

The Mandalorian made little noise- a small grunt to show he was listening.

"Sir, are you planning on bringing this.. child aboard the Supremacy?"

"No. They would have taken it. So I'm not. Now shut it.", he replied sharply.

"Sir, I know I'm either going to be killed on sight or drafted into the First Order. I also happen to know that they will check your ship for any other living inhabitants. I sug-"

"Shut it I said."

"Hide it."

"What?"

Iri stayed quiet, just to piss him off. She spoke no words. Suddenly, the vessel stopped- a long ways to go to Eadu.

"I asked you what did you say?"

"I said hide The Child, bucket head."

"Don't call me bucket head when you have one on too.", he retorted.

A soft chuckle could be heard from the girl. Quite abruptly, she felt something grasp onto her leg. Looking down, she saw it. A small alien with big ears and wide eyes, looking at her. She knew her blaster was down near the creature, she could easily kill it.

The Mandalorian was staring at the two when he also noticed the blaster, but more importantly, her hand slowly moving towards it.

As her fingertips ever so slightly brushed the handle of the gun, the Mandalorian firmly yelled out, "No!"

Quickly manoeuvring her hand around the blaster, she pulled it from the holster, along with a sharp dagger, out of the kid's reach, stood up, and put them somewhere high. Sitting back down calmly, she chuckled.

"Well, I must say two things. One- I'm happy that you are protective of this little one. And two- I can't believe you missed those two weapons. You took all of my normal ones and brushed over the fact I had others." Iri said as she picked up The Child, who, in her arms, was trying to remove her helmet.

"That's a no-no, little one. Sorry, but that won't happen." The hunter cooed at the alien.

Finally, when they arrived at Eadu, The Mandalorian and Iri Descent walked off of the ship, leaving The Child behind.

Entering the room aboard the Supremacy, the two saw the masked sith. The female had no concern with the sith- she had had problems with him before and would give anything to punch him for blowing up her vessel. The Mandalorian, however, knew how the man would act. He had handed Iri a blaster already, so she could defend herself if need be.

"Ah, hello Iri. Welcome back."

The hunter noticed how she stiffened as the sith said her name.

"We have so much to do. Let's see what's first on the agenda. Top of it is-", the masked sith turned on his lightsaber, "Making sure-", he drew nearer, "You don't get away."

"Now, let's see that "pretty" little face of yours, shall we?", he grunted as his hand went up to remove her helmet.

Suddenly, a blaster was placed against his helmet. "Yeah, I don't like the idea of you seeing my face. I don't give consent. So if you try to remove my helmet, I'll blow that one off of you without mercy like you did with my fucking ship.", Iri said gruffly, whispering the last few words.

"You're still mad?"

"I was sent to a prison and left two people there. I'm furious. So getaway. Now."

Suddenly, a searing pain hit her side as the sith's sabre grazed her poorly clothed side. She made no noise. After escaping nonstop, continuous torture and suffering from this man years ago, she had taught her mind to ignore mediocre pain.

The pitter-patter of blood pooling on the floor made her sick.

She had to keep the tears threatening to fall stay still.

"Now, the second thing on the agenda, is you, Mando. You see, we can't have you escaping with that thing aboard, so we'll have to kill you."

"Goodbye Mandalorian."

The Mandalorian grunted and started shooting the stormtroopers. Pulling Iri alongside him to stop her from getting hurt, he ran towards the door.

Burning the reinforcements in the hallway, the Mandalorian realized that he had made a bad decision. Taking the kid from the dying Empire with him was one thing. But taking a wounded prisoner with him from the new First Order, was a completely different thing.

"Crap... The kid! It's probably hiding away... hopefully.", he muttered.

Escaping to the ship, he continued to shoot oncoming stormtroopers. Nearing the ship, the Mandalorian was pushed inside by Iri, as she stood upright, wincing, and shot every stormtrooper in her sight. Immediately afterwards, she fell to the ground, only to be caught by the intrigued Mandalorian. He dragged her inside, closing the door. Laying her down on a bench, he climbed into the cockpit to see the kid sitting there. Getting into his seat, the Mandalorian started up the vessel and left Eadu.

Just going to let y'all know, it was so hard not to put "Baby Yoda" instead of "the Child", or "the kid".
I'm currently checking dates for Galaxy's Edge.
I'm tired.
I need to sleep.
If you can't open the link from my announcement, fear not! I'll just tell you.
This will be a series since it will be some time before fall 2020. This is book one for Season One.

Bye eggs.
