15 Men on a Dead Man's Chest(Closed)

[The Madet Legacy]

ooc: Couldn't think of a title that fit perfectly, so I just used this one.


*Continuing his search for that diseased ex-Jedi, JR had....accidentatlly....fired at a large ship. A pirate ship. Now he was hidding on some planet, in a forest*

"Deffinately NOT Kashyyk."

*He said as a gigantic beast fell from a mountain. He couldn't see it's actual figure, but it was huge. About 10 meters tall, from where he could see*

"Damn Pirates....Get the hell out of here so I can get the hell off this rock."

[The Madet Legacy]

*In the hours of wandering within 100 yards of his ship, JR had a decent knowledge of the land around him. However, something was wrong. There was a distinct cry of terror about 50 yards north of him and his ship*

[The Madet Legacy]

*Without thought, JR leapt from his spot on his ship and dashed towards the sound. Too tired to use the Force, he had to run at his normal pace, which was still quite fast. As he passed trees, small bits of his shirt and pants got ripped as small, sharp branches caught the fabric. Through the dense brush, he could see the small figure of a woman caught in many vines. Or what appeared to be vines at least. His continuous running caused the small, semi-shapeless figure to grow in size and shape as he got closer. Finally, he stopped, panting. 30 feet away, a young woman in Mandalorian armor with red hair hung from vines, bleeding. He walked forward, igniting his saber. The woman looked up at him with fear in her eyes*

”What do you want with me?! Go away!”

“Hey, take it Easy there, Red! I’m not gonna hurt you!”

”H..How do I know? You have one of those things! My Grandfather told me of your kind!”

*JR didn’t listen. She needed help, no matter what she wanted. He continued to move closer, cutting away vines as he approached*

“Don’t move too much…Those vines look like they could hurt you more if ya move.”

”Go away! I don’t need anyone’s help!”

“Listen, Red! You’re stuck, and I’m the only one who can get ya out! Now are you gonna let me help or not?!”

*The woman seemed to think for a moment, before slowly nodding her head*

”Go ahead….We’re both going to die anyway…”

“Oh really? What makes ya say that, Red?”

*With a few expert cuts, the vines fell along with her. JR Easily caught her before she collapsed completely*

”That…”

*JR Looked up as she pointed to their side. Next to them was a Gigantic Rancor…Probably the one he had seen earlier that day*

“Holy Shi-!”

*His words were cut off as the Rancor let out a Deafening Roar and swatted him away from it’s Former Dinner. JR Crashed into a tree at the opposite side of the small clearing and crumpled as he hit the ground. He shook it off as well as he could, as well as healing the injuries with the Force. He called his light saber back to his hand, since it had fallen out of his hand, and landed next to the Mandalorian Girl. The Green blade sprang from the hilt as it flew through the air. JR Force Jumped into the air, and landed ontop of the Rancor’s shoulder*

“Eat this, you son of a Bitch!”

*He plunged the blade of his saber into the beast’s shoulder, and was met with the other claw scrapping him off. By some act of God or something, he had managed to hold onto his saber as he was thrown from the beast. The blade seared through the rest of the shoulder, cutting off the Rancor’s Arm*

[The Madet Legacy]

*The Rancor let out another roar. This time, one of pain, rather than fury. The Great Beast held it’s hand against the small stub of flesh where it’s arm used to be and collapsed. Rancors’ hearts, like most others, beat faster when they‘re tired, meaning more blood was pumped at a faster rate. It wasn’t long before it died from the blood loss. JR Stood up from his spot in the ground, and brushed some dirt from his shirt. He turned to look at Red and saw that she had been knocked unconscious by a blow to her head. Probably caused by the semi-large rock next to her. He sighed and picked her up. Holding her over his shoulder, he began the long walk back to his ship, where he could help treat her wounds*


***TIME PASSES***


*Hours later, Red awoke from her sleep on a large tree in the clearing where JR’s ship was. She wasn’t completely healed-Only a Med Bay could do that. JR watched her stir in her sleep from his place on a rock not too far away. Despite his preference to be a Loner, JR found himself helping people whenever he could-Something he’d inherited from his Grandfather, probably*

“Hey…You were asleep for a while. Feeling any better?”

*Red stretched out on the tree. However, her armor prevented complete free movement*

”Yes…Much better, thank you.”

“Well, what do ya know?! She can say something other than insults and warnings!”

*The comment instantly touched a nerve, apparently*

”Listen here, you filthy Jedi! Just because you saved my life does NOT mean you can treat me any way you want!”

“Take it easy, Red! It was just a joke! Jeeze, who knew you Mandalorians could get so ticked?”

”Why do you Jedi have to be so Brain Dead?”

“Look, Red, If I didn’t come along, you’d be Rancor Food right now!”



To Be Continued in another Post…..

[The Madet Legacy]

*Red looked at him as if to make another smart Remark before she became serious. The sudden change in her mood made JR smirk. He knew he'd gotten the best of her in that little argument*

"Somethin to Say, Red?"

"As a matter of fact, Jedi, Yes. Thank you for Helping me. I owe you my life."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Just help me survive this mudhole until those pirates up there-"

*He indicated to the sky with a quick nod*

"-Leave."

"Deal. And...There's one thing I can give you in Thanks."

"Oh really? Jeeze, and here I thought you prefered to thank people by arguing!"

"Ha, Ha, Very funny, Jedi. It's something of my Grandfather's. He hated Jedi, but since you saved me, I suppose I could give you this small token."

"Well, what is it?"

"Can you shut up for once?! It's not on me, It's back at my camp."

"Think you're strong enough to lead me there?"

[The Madet Legacy]

”Jedi, You just asked a Mandalorian if they’re strong enough to travel.”

*The mocking tone in her voice was more than evident. ‘Oh, she’s good.’ JR frowned as he looked at her*

“Just go.”

”Whatever you say, Jedi. Follow me.”

Round two goes to Red…

*With speed that defied her recent wounds, Red took off, heading to the West. JR Followed Close Behind*


***TIME PASSES***


*The two companions arrive at a small camp. It had already been ransacked by animals of some kind. Red Cursed in some language that JR couldn’t understand. ‘Probably Mandalorian,’ he thought as he watched her move small crates of food, Weapons, and Clothes. Not much seemed to be left of her Camp, but she didn’t take too long to tidy up. Instead, after lifting 3 crates, she moved directly for a locked footlocker. She knelt down and began to enter the combination to the lock, before stopping and turning to look at him*

”Do you mind?”

“Of course not!”

*JR turned his back to her and waited for her to tap him on the shoulder a moment later. In her arms, she had the remnants of a Male Mandalorian’s Armor*

”My Grandfather’s Armor. Cassus Fett III. There’s not much left of it other than the chest plate and his special Gauntlets.”

“Special Gauntlets?”

”Yes, Special. He custom made them. Try them on.”

*JR slipped the two Gauntlets onto his arms and examined them closely*

”Now Make a fist in each hand, and make sure to touch that small button at the middle finger.”

*JR did so, and was rewarded with a “SNIKT” of blades extending from the Gauntlets*

“Whoa…”

”Exactly…Grandfather made them for a last resort if his blaster didn’t take out an enemy.”

“How deadly are they?”

”Extremely. I saw my Father gut a Cannok with just one of Gauntlets in less than a minute. That’s including the actual kill.”

“Whoa…”

[The Madet Legacy]

"Those were my grandfather's prized possesions. Take care of them, will you? I've seen how you fight, so..."

*She may have left her sentace unfinished, but JR knew what she ment. She was afraid that they way he fought, the blades wouldn't last very long*

"Don't worry, Red. I'll take good care of 'em."

*JR slipped the gauntlets off and handed them back to her*

"You'll need these more than me on our way back to the ship. Afterall, I'm still new here."

*Red chuckled*

"Of course, Jedi. Follow me."

*With that short conversation, they began to walk back towards the ship*

***TIME PASSES***

*Back at the ship, JR held the chest plate of Red's Gradfather. What'd she say his name was again? Caprus? Nah, that ain't it. Then, he noticed something about the chest plate. Over it's deep brown/red color, there was a silver coat of paint. JR looked up and over towards the wing of the ship, where Red was taking shelter from the rain that was pouring down on them*

"Hey, Red...Why's the paint peeling off?"

"Oh, that's not paint!"

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah, that's not paint. It's dried blood."

*JR got up and joined her under the wing to hear her better*

"Mind telling me why this things got blood on it?"

"Sure! You see, that blood is from 15 different men. My grandfather killed 15 men who had chased him here, along with his family and another family from the Mandalorians. They all died by his hand, but they took him along with them. There are 15 men on That dead man's chest plate."

"Oh....I'll be right back."

*JR stood up and walked away, towards the cargo hold on the other side of the ship. He was thankful that it was storming, and that she couldn't hear him vomiting in the bushes near the cargo hold*

[The Madet Legacy]

*Moments later, JR returned, making sure not to look at the chest plate*

"So...Any secrets about these Blades?"

"None that I know of!"

"How encouraging...Anyway, those pirates are gone, and So am I.

Mercy!"

*The holographic image of a beautiful young woman appeared infront of him*

"Yes, JR?"

*The small mocking tone in her voice was evident.*

"Don't call me that....Now get ready to take off."

*The AI made a small salute and chuckled*

"Yes Sir, JR!"

"Ha ha...Remind me to get rid of that Chip from your mainframe later."

*He could hear Red laughing at the two of them. He turned to her after Mercy's Holoimage disappeared*

"Having fun?"

"Oh, yes! I mean, who'd ever think that an AI Could have such a mind of its own?!"

"Yeah, thanks to my Granddad..."

"Well...Could I get a ride out of here? I've been stuck here my entire life, you know."

*JR Sighed as he tossed his pack into the cockpit*

"Fine...But there's no room in the cockpit. Climb in the cargo hold."

***TIME PASSES***

*The Fighter enters Hyperspace after leaving the planet*

ooc: Yes, I wrote this post in a hurry...Gotta get back outside and finish raking the leaves.
