Chapter 3: Pride

Mando and Sara leave the planet with a kingly reward and supplies. The king even gave Sara a better dress. One more fit for combat, yet still elegant. It was the finest thing she had ever owned, and the raider was grateful. She even gave the king a rare smile.
The king granted them friends of the planet and they would be forever in their debt. The king wanted them to stay, but Mando had a mission. He needed to find the others that had powers like the child and Sara.
They landed on the next planet in search for Gor Koresh. Din had heard rumors of the creature having a location for other mandalorians. The trio landed and began searching the city. The city was vast and It was a cesspool. Graffiti and broken buildings lined the streets. Sara caught a shiver as she walked down the road. The place was off putting and she could sense bad things could happen. The two rounded a corner only to find the trouble she sensed. A few creatures and driods were fighting and firing at each other. The turned to notice the trio and began shooting at them. The child put his lid down as he followed Sara and din behind a building.
"You are a magnet for trouble you know that" Sara hisses as she had her back to a wall across from Din. The alley way was small, so they were only a few feet apart from each other. An explosion rang from behind the wall and the force caused Sara to be jolted forward. She was thrown a bit and landed into Din'schest. Din held onto her as blasts ricochet around them. Sara glanced up and could see her reflection in his helmet. Her head was ringing, and if he was speaking, she couldn't hear from the explosion blast. He looked down at her for a moment. If only she could see his face to read his lips or something. Din gently grabbed her arms and helped her to her feet.
"You ok?" He ask as the ringing finally stopped in her ears. Sara was terrified, but she hid her fear with her anger.
"Noooo Im not ok." She hisses and smacks at his chest armor. It didn't hurt him nor her, but it made her feel a little better getting some rage out.
A creature ran by the alley to shoot them but Din was quicker. He pulled his pistol and blasted the thing. More came and Din tried to push Sara behind him to protect her. She wasn't having it. Those idiots attacked them and caused her dress to get dirty.... they were having it. She used her hand to lift one up in the air and flung him into the other two using the force. She then make a fist. It caused the crumbling wall behind the other thugs to crash on them. The whole time the child peeked to watch her. Sara could feel her powers growing, especially if she got angry. Din shook out of his staring to blast the remaining two.
"You can go run around this planet if you want, but I'm going back to the ship." She hisses and turns away. The child looks up at Mando and then at Sara stomping back to the ship. She was fed up at everyone ether shooting at her, trying to capture her, or pissing her off. Sara needed a time out and some alone time to think. She was safer back home. She should have never ran off with this mandalorian, but she had no choice. The raiders made her leave. They took care of her for so long only to ditch her. Now she was traveling the galaxy with some space cowboy and his green baby who could move stuff like her. Everywhere they went there were getting shot at or threatened. Sara just wanted a safe place to be. She finally calmed down a bit and wiped a tear away. She had gotten so upset she was staring to cry. The raiders never let her due to the fact she would waist water, at least that is what they thought. It was dangerous on the dunes, but she had a family and a group of people around her, now she was almost alone and stuck out here in the middle of no where on a planet with criminals. Sara brought her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around her legs. She didn't know what she was, nor did she remember where she had came from. Part of her wanted to know these things, but another part was afraid. She knew she could never go back to her normal, but Sara hated the thought of this life on the run and getting shot at a new normal.
At some point after departing from Sara, Djarin met with Gor Koresh in an attempt to learn the location of other Mandalorians, believing that they could assist him in returning the Child to his people. Keresh initially offered Djarin the information in exchange for a bet—if his Gamorrean fighter won the match, he would give the information, whereas if he lost, Djarin would hand over his armor. Djarin refused, prompting Keresh to instead have his grunts attack him. Djarin made quick work of them, and chased Keresh down, stringing him up on a street light. Djarin promised not to let Keresh die by his own hand, for which Keresh informed the hunter that he had been told about someone wearing Mandalorian armor on Tatooine.
Sara noticed them returning and she opened the hanger door. They both entered and Din closed the hanger door behind him.
"Well you get your wish." He walked past her. The child climbed out of his pod and walked towards her.
"What do you mean?" She asked watching him.
"We are going back to tatooine." Her heart sank. She wanted to go back for so long now and finally they were. Sara could join her raiders again and go back to normal.
"Good..." she huffed and sat back down. Din glanced back at her before making the climb to the cockpit. The child cooed and told her telepathically what had happened. The child also could tell she wanted to leave them and stay on tatooine, but he reached for her hand. Him and Din needed her. She was part of the clan now and the child had another with the same powers. Some one who understood him and he didn't want her to leave.
Din prepared the ship for warp drive. He knew as soon as she landed, Sara would be off to find her people again. He didn't want her to leave. He promised to help her find her identity, but he couldn't force her to stay with them. His thoughts went back to her smile on the last planet. It made him smile under his helmet. She was beautiful and a tough as nails gal. Her fury and rage had it's own beauty and although at times he didn't like her attitude, it was part of her beautiful mess. She was starting to grow on him, but he would not keep her captive. If she wanted to leave than she could, but he doubted the raiders would take her back. He knew this trip would break her heart, but Sara needed to see for herself that Tatooine was not her home anymore. It was going to be a hard reality that would hit her.
They finally landed on the desert planet and Sara jetted out the ship. She face plants into the warm sand and hugged it. Din tilted his head. He never seen her act this way. She was always ether seething with rage, had a foul attitude, or was saddened. He watched as her fingers played in the sand. The child plopped down beside her and mimicked her. Her laugh was subtle, but Din enjoyed it. It was nice to see her smile, even though it would most likely be short lived. She peeled herself off from the sand and looked around. She walked towards the small town as Din goes to rent a speeder. Sara looked around for any sign of her people, but she knew they would no doubt be deep in the desert.
Djarin arrived on Tatooine, landing once again in Hangar 3-5 and this time allowing Peli Motto's pit droids to repair the Razor Crest. Motto had the astromech droid R5-D4 direct Djarin to Mos Pelgo, where he believed the man with Mandalorian armor to be located. Djarin then departed on Motto's speeder for Mos Pelgo, stopping at a Tusken encampment for the night. In the morning the raiders and Sara were gone. The child was upset and he made a few sad noises.
"Let her go." Din tried to comfort the child before heading out to mos pelgo.
Din lets sara go. She had to decide her own way and the mando would not force her. Din turned and continued on ward.
Upon his arrival in the remote town, Djarin drew stares from many of the citizens, before himself entering the town's tavern. He told the Weequay who was operating the bar that he was visiting to meet the man who looked like him. When the bartender asked if he meant "The Marshal," Djarin was confused until Cobb Vanth promptly entered the tavern, wearing Mandalorian armor. Vanth offered Djarin a drink, taking a seat and removing his helmet, much to Djarin's surprise. Upon the revelation that Vanth was not a Mandalorian, Djarin immediately demanded that Vanth hand the armor over. Vanth refused, and the two prepared to duel each other before a sudden tremor shook the town.
Sara was so happy to be back with her clan. The clan was happy to see her, but still leerier about her staying. Sara tried to put their mind at easy and go back to normal, but Din and the child were not far from her thoughts. The wierd bond they had made over the past few months made her feel bad for running off. Sara was being a bit selfish. All Din wanted to do was help her by find others like her and the child, but the whole time she gave him hell. He just wanted to help her, but she wanted to just be left alone in her sand box. Sara did her best to push the memories from her mind, but his scent and the way he held her that day on the planet When she was thrown into him lingered.
"Oh sara you are reading into things." She huffed and continued to help with the chores around camp. Sara didn't have a face covering like before. She only had a veil and that draped over her head and covered her bottom half of her face. Her masked had been burned by the the mando. 'The fire that started all this.' She thought to herself. Sara would do her best to just forget about everything and act like nothing had happened.
Back at mos pelgo, This mysterious earthquake had been caused by a greater krayt dragon, which had been terrorizing the town and eating their livestock. Vanth and Djarin decided to make a deal: if they could eliminate the devastating reptile, Vanth would give Djarin his armor. Djarin accepted, and both of them embarked on a mission towards the krayt dragon's lair. They came across another clan of Tusken Raiders, who also sought to take down the dragon. The groups allied, but after an unsuccessful attempt, Djarin volunteered the inhabitants of Mos Pelgo to join forces with them.[Back at the village, the civilians were not at all happy to be working with the Tuskens, whom they regarded as monsters, but Djarin told them that they had agreed to stop attacking the village if they worked together to kill the krayt dragon. The citizens agreed to Djarin's terms and together, the group traveled back to the lair to take down the beast.
Sara's clan hears about the dragon and how the other clans were coming together to defeat it. Word spread of the mando who was involved and was uniting the people of mos pelgo to help. Sara convinced her people to go and help. In her mind if she could get the pearl, then her clan would accept her and let her stay with out a doubt.
On the way to rally with the others, Sara and her clan were stopped by a hand full of troopers.
" Stop!" The main trooper stepped forward. The others aimed their weapons at the raiders. The raiders screamed in anger and shook their sticks at them.
"You girl...you are coming with us." The trooper turned to the others beside him.
"She looks like the one Giedon is after." They tried to whisper but Sara heard them. Who was gideon? And why was he looking for her? Sara thought the name sounded familiar, but when she tried to access those memories it was a blank. She sensed trouble like she did back on the last planet. The same feeling that warned her about the other fire fight. These powers of her's were growing and sara was learning to trust them. She told her clan to seek refuge. She informed them the troopers were a threat and would seek to kill every last raider. The raiders screamed in anger as they fired on the troopers, ignoring Sara. Sara punched the trooper in-front over her and shook her fist. It felt like it was broken due to the hard helmet she cracked from her bare knuckle punch. The trooper fell and rolled down the dune.
"Jayises." He huffed before passing out. The others fired back at the raiders. A few raiders were hit, but the troopers all suffered an end due to Sara and her powers. Sara glanced down at the dead troopers and back at her injured people. The female finally relizes they are in harms way if she stays. Sara explained to them to seek refuge and that she would lead any other group after them away. Sara also explained to them they were right and her being there would cause their death. Sara noticed the trooper alive and proceeded to drag him to the nearest city. She knew if she left one alive, he could tell the others the girl had left the planet to void them going after the raiders. Sara tied the trooper in a local cantina chair and made her way back to the razor crest.
After numerous losses and hard work, they succeeded in destroying the krayt dragon once and for all. Being a man of his word, Cobb Vanth turned over his armor to Djarin, who told Vanth that he hoped he would see him again. However, as Djarin rode back to his ship. To Din's surprise, he noticed Sara loading the ship up with provisions.
"You came back?" He tilted his head. Sara glanced up at him and nodded. She didn't want to tell him he was right, so she kept silent. Din knew she was to proud to say anything else about the situation, so he quietly looked at Sara a moment.
Din explains everything that had happened and why they had a new passenger. Din explains that On his way back to Mos Eisley, He was ambushed by a group of bounty hunters in pursuit of The Child. After a brief skirmish, He managed to defeat the hunters. Finally arriving back in Mos Eisley on foot, He walked into Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina. There, he encountered Motto and "Dr. Mandible" in the middle of a sabacc game. When Motto inquired if he had killed the Mandalorian he had met, He said he merely acquired his armor. He then forked over 500 credits to Dr. Mandible for information on another group of Mandalorians. He would converse with Motto in the hangar soon after, where Motto said that he could find the Mandalorians with the help of "Frog Lady," who knew were a group of them lived. Din further explained that the Frog Lady would help them in exchange of passage to the estuary moon of Trask. He agreed until Motto informed him that he had to travel sublight, meaning without using hyperspace. He was angry and said that the deal was off, as traveling quickly was the only thing keeping him safe. However, he eventually relented.

"So now this is a taxi?" Sara raised her eyes as she glanced over at the frog like woman. Sara shrugged a bit.

" It is your ship." She simply spoke before she continued to pick up her things. Din was surprised by this, but kept silent. He made his way to the cockpit and plotted the course for Trask with Frog Lady sitting next to him in the Razor Crest.
