I had to sneak upon one of the transport vessels that carried civilians off the planet, cause thanks to me and my brethren, every slave in the city was up in arms, and the Hutt cartel's guards roamed the streets killing anyone they thought to be suspicious.
Because of the chaos in the city, sneaking into the storage compartment posed no challenge.
Once I found the way in, I was met with mountains of silver cases, probably filled with all the civilian's valuables.
I climbed up one of the mountains of silver cases to one of the corners and began to check my equipment.
On the other side of where I was stationed, a massive door was open and robots were constantly coming in with more silver cases.
The silver cases reflected the sunlight, making the storage shine like a sea of diamonds.
After I was satisfied with the condition of my gear, I laid down on the silver cases and drifted off to sleep once the door was closed and we started flying.
...
A chuckle echoed through the room"Look boys, a mountain of money is all ours."
I awoke to the sudden sound of speaking, I determined the direction of the voices and slowly crept toward the edge and aiming through the scope of the gun I picked up from that Xeno back in the canyon.
I saw a human with a mohawk walking in front, an Ork-like Xeno, a midget with glowing yellow eyes, and a human female.
Thankfully my eyes had adjusted to the dark, though my gas mask blurred my vision a little. Still, it wasn't a hindrance.
"How do we know what we're looking for? Most passengers were slaves using their freedom, so most of this is useless." The woman spoke up.
"That's why we have our good friend and comrade, Tug, and his gadgets." The man presented the midget carrying a scanner of some sort and began to go up to each case and scan the contents.
"Juwi guys Wuawd Ibee useliwiss without Mikee" A gaggle of Xeno words made my finger itch while hovering over the trigger.
Pathways were made for easy access, so the place felt like a maze.
After a bit of scanning, the scanner began to whirl and the midget spoke up.
"Ahh, Huist ikees valuable!"
The cry of a pig and the appearance of who made it was very confusing to me.
"An Ork that squeals like a pig? Ridiculous." I whispered to myself.
The Ork-like Xeno grabbed the case and with a solid punch, the case flipped open and squealed in success as it backed away.
"Let's see what we have here?"
The woman flicked on her head torch.
"So, we found a Viro-blade, two Blasters... Westar 34 blasters, Vambraces... Combat specialized, explosive darts to complement the Vambraces, a ripcord, and some flamethrower canisters, a rocket..."
Thanks to the echo of this place, I could hear every word.
The woman picked up an electronic and examined it for a little bit before her face fell, and she slammed the case shut, almost running out of room, were it not for the Ork grabbing her.
"Dest, what are you doing?" The mohawk man said.
"We need to leave! Those are Mandalorian weapons, and I found a silent alarm, so they know someone opened their case."
"Come on, Dest, we can take a Mandalorian. Look-" The man pointed to the case with all the Mandalorian's weapons in it. "- They don't have their weapons. Sure, they have hand-to-hand combat, but that's why we have Gamorrean-" He patted the Gamorrean on the back. "- Ain't that right Huc."
The Xeno squealed in acceptance.
"Is that right?"
The sudden voice made the whole group snap to the doorway, where a warrior, adorned in armor stood tall.
The woman cowered in fear and backed away with a shake in her voice.
"E-Esvan, it's the M-Mandalorian." She could only let out a whisper, though it was still loud enough for me to hear, so not a whisper.
"I know Dest. Huc, your up."
Huc let out a sniff and began moving toward the Mandalorian while wielding an axe.
The Mandalorian attacked before the Xeno, Huc, could react.
A jab to the throat, a kick to the knee, and a knee to the head were enough to send the Xeno to the floor. They dashed across the space that separated them from the group and kicked the midget into a mountain of cases.
"Esvan" ran at the Mandalorian wielding a knife, flailing the weapon like a stick.
The Mandalorian dodged the blade effortlessly before grabbing his wrist, snapping his arm, and jamming his knife into his throat.
The scared woman pulled a pistol and shot at the Mandalorian, but the rounds either dissipated or reflected off the Mandalorian's armor.
While the Mandalorian walked over to the woman who desperately fired off rounds, trying to kill the Mandalorian, Huc got up and ran over to the Mandalorian, wielding his axe above his head.
Just as Huc swung his axe down upon the Mandalorian, they dodged, and the axe cut into the woman, splitting her in half.
The Mandalorian then jammed the knife into the Huc's head, resulting in Huc going slump.
After that one-sided fight, the Mandalorian walked over to their case and began to equip all their equipment.
"Ikee obliteratiwi Juwi" The little Xeno midget jumped out of the cases he was buried under and held a small stick that emitted lightning off the top.
The Mandalorian aimed their hand back and their vambrace shot out a dart that shocked the midget Xeno, leading him to spas.
Looking through the scope, I scanned for and found the gaps in the armor I would need to use if I got into a fight with this "Mandalorian."
After the Mandalorian finished with their equipment, they turned and looked at me dead from across the room.
"I see you." They then lifted their vambrace.
I knew they found me, but from the angle, I was on, I couldn't get a shot off, so my only advantage would be in close quarters, though they seemed to be an expert.
I jumped down into the darkness of the pathways, ready to plan my attack.
Through the little gaps between the silver cases, I could see the Mandalorian standing in the same spot they had been this whole time.
I moved closer, still hiding in the shadows that the walls of cases provided.
I threw the gun over the wall, grabbed my shovel, and waited for the impact.
After the cackle of the gun, the Mandalorian looked in its direction for a split second, giving me the time to charge at them.
With my heavy steps pounding the steel floor, the Mandalorian snapped back to me with their vambraces ready to fire, but I was just faster.
I smacked their kneecap with my shovel, making them fire at the ceiling and stumble. I followed the attack by slicing into their armpit, pounding my shovel into their stomach, picking them up, and charging into one of the walls.
I made the split decision of jumping out of the way of the falling silver cases, though a pit in my stomach formed and started to ache.
I grabbed the bloodied knife off the floor and waited for the Mandalorian to jump out of the silver case pile, but after a few minutes it never happened, so I claimed upon the silver pile and saw the Mandalorian lying at the bottom.
I looked down and saw their hand, I weighed the odds of her trying to kill me and whatnot, so I devised a plan.
Grabbing the Mandalorians' hand, I dragged them out of the pile and found their armor dented.
'I guess the cases were heavier than they looked.'
I also found that the armor was fit for a woman.
'Reminds me of the battle sisters."
I decided, I will try to recruit her, but I could also kill her if she becomes a threat, I'll use her for information about this universe at least.
I grabbed the ripcord out of her vambrace, tied her arms and legs up, sate her up aginst another wall of silver cases and waited
And waited...
