Half a week later
The archaeologists see some people near the ruins and wonder who they are they can make out some weird insignia on them that they have not seen before. 'Must be some no body's the leader thought'
"Hello friends I'm Leti Moliere an archaeologist for the republic." She says as a hope to scare them off with the name, they can not see the faces of the four individuals in front of them but they do have a human structure so it's safe to assume there human.
The four hunters turn to face her and her team witch consist of some locals with guns.
"I'm Tiger the leader here, please leave we found this first you can come after we are done." He says in a authoritative tone.
"We can't do that, I'm from the Jedi temple and here on there behalf and this is clearly a old Jedi temple." Said Leti Moliere in a matter of fact Tone
"We can pay you for your troubles of coming down here but this temple belongs to the Jedi archives" she said
"No we where here first it's ours, and our client will not like us just abandoning a job where hired for." Says Tiger
"Who hired you?" She asked
"We do not give out our clients information." Tiger says
"Anyway you need to leave or I will have you removed out of this area." She said in a threatening manner as she backs up to allow the hired guns to show them selves
Both parties stares at each other for a while.
Radio noises come in on Tiger's helmet headset, then he smiles evilly under his helmet.
"Fine we will leave, I will remember this transgression you best hope we don't meet again." He states and then signals his team to go back to the ship
As the team get on there ship the archaeologist team watches them leave, when they finally leave they begun there operations in opening the temple.
On the ship jack asked "Are we really leaving? you know how much HT coins we can get by turning in stuff from a temple captain, Oh the amount of coins we can use to get upgraded suits to those cool slick stealth ones."
"I heard the new silenced laser pistols are a hit but there expensive." Said Peter
"I heard there still experimental so I would not trust them to much yet." Said Brian
"Enough!" The captain yells
"We are getting this temple, I just got word from command to get it by any means, but make no mistake if we can clean the traces to us do it if not it's still fine." Said Tiger
"This is the plan we will hire some locals our selves and send them to attack them, since they have high numbers." Said the captain
"There's a high probability it will still come back to us if we don't clean up loose ends and the ones we hired will join them." Said jack
"That's a risk I'm willing to take" said the captain
They land far out of the temple and hike to it on foot. It takes them a day in a half to get there. They managed to hire 8 plus local muscles.
Once there they see the archeologist and her team already digging in the temple.
Tiger switch's to team comms
"We wait here for one day and go at night to retrieve it in stealth, it looks like they almost got it so let them do the dirty work, the hired muscle will be used in case they are alerted and we need a diversion, Brian will take the artifact back to the ship while the rest of us clean up here." Said the captain
"Got it captain" they replied
One day later the locals in the temple came out looking exhausted but relaxed as if they completed some mission.
"There are 7 left out of the 11, don't know if the rest are in side." Said Brian
"Let's wait till night to begin." Said Tiger
At night there are still 7, half of therm are up and the other half asleep as well as Leti Moliere. So they begin sneaking up from four sides. They take out 4 of the locals and head inside to search for any treasure or storage boxes they may have put the stuff in, but find nothing.
"Looking for something" says a voice out side
The four of them look at each other, anger in the captain's face under the helmet. They walk outside to be met with more than 10 plus individuals with guns. 'Look like locals we hired, how annoying' said the captain in there voice comms
'This is getting out of hand sir' says one of them
'Get ready no matter what happens we're taking the artifact' the captain says
The captain looks at Leti Moliere who is standing there with a chest in her hands, he says "you could have made this easier on your self but you just had to take it the hard way."
There team shows no big reaction as if expecting the locals they hired to betray them, witch confuses Leti Moliere and her hired locals. It can be summed is fairly easy. The republic in the eyes of the civilians has bigger pocket and a lawful government unlike these bounty hunters who are not well known. So all it took was for Leti Moliere to pay more and in the name of the republic better benefits for there people to sway them to join her side.
"I already contacted the Jedi temple and one of them is near by should be here soon, so you best stop. While your still ahead of your self, you can still leave without getting into trouble." She said
The bounty hunter team of four stands there valiantly in front of the abandon temple surrounded by the locals. Tiger grunts then switch's to team comms.
'Jack you got left, Peter you got right, Brian your sniper support, you brought that auto turret right?' Asked the captain
'Yes sir' said Brian
'Are we really doing this, what about the Jedi sir?' asked jack
Tiger smiles under the helmet and says 'don't worry about the Jedi just get the artifact'
Tiger picks up a remote detonator from his belt 'time for plan B' he says
The rest get ready.
BOOM BOOM BOOM
Explosions happening from all four directions the team came from. 'Go' the captain says
They run in four different directions, Tiger is duel welding DH-17 blaster pistol jack has a heavy rifle and peter has a A280C blaster rifle while Brian has a DC-15x sniper rifle
Brian threw down the autoturret and it started firing in different directions towards the enemy. While Brian changes position for a better firing range
As Tiger is running up he spots Leti Moliere and runs in her direction once there he lunges for her and they fight for it. What Tiger doesn't know is a local slow inching his way up to them.
"Just give me the artifact and this will all be over." Tiger says
"Over my dead body." She replies
Tiger punched her and then knees her in the stomach and she drops it. Tiger drives for it and retrieve it. He opens it and light shines from the chest so bright he can't see inside but he knows it's in there and closes the chest before he can fully see it.
The local that made its way up to Tiger shot him in the back but misses and Tiger is alerted and turns around and shoots him but he's to close and they fights it out fist to fist. Leti Moliere comes to her self and sees the chest and grabs it and starts running.
"Boss she's getting away with the chest" said Peter
"I'm on it" said Brian as he aim his scope at her and shoots
PEW
Leti Moliere falls after being shot in the stomach, Brian runs over and grabs it and the team work together to get him out.
As they are making there way to there ship they encounter more locals 15 more so they ran into a near by cave and hold out there, then a voice was heard "not so fast, that's far enough."
This person had just came from the entrance of the cave it's a human male in gray robes.
Buzz
He ignited his green light saber and holds its up.
"I don't know what you want a Jedi holocron for but you need to hand it over to me. We will keep it safe." He says
"I don't even know who you are." Says Tiger with a frown on his face as he helmet has been knocked off in the fight.
"I'm Centam Jakar and I'm from the Jedi temple please hand over the holocron it worthless to you if you can't open it." He replied
"Well it's not entirely worthless, I can always sell it." Said tiger
As they are talking some locals caught up to them.
"Stay back I'll handle this" Centam Jakar said and sees Leti Moliere among them with a bandage stomach
"Listen to me your surrounded just give me the holocron and you can plea your case to the council and stop this needless blood shed, ddi the hutts pay you." says Centam Jakar in a low tone trying to reason with them
'Captain we can always find more sites and get them before they do, there's always a next time' says jack
Indistinguishable Radio noises in the captain head set.
"Hahaha" he starts to laugh
"What's so funny?" Asked Centam Jakar in a confused manner feeling something is off
Tiger says in a mocking slow tone "I'm only stalling you."
Boom.
The walls behind them explode and another battle of guns ensued "go go go" states a soldier as he runs up and start firing at the locals. These people are also wearing different armor nothing standard about them but the way they fight sees like there doing it as a team instead of chaos like the locals.
The team of four bounty hunters run out the newly made exit and onto some speeders and ride to there ship.
Centam Jakar picks up his communicator to inform his padawan and says "Ailyn Madas there coming to your way, I'll catch up soon I'm right behind them. " he says as he looks for a speeder then finds one
As he heads to it while fighting the new enemy's that came he senses a presence on the battle field that makes the hairs on his body stand up. He turns around and sees a tall figure in black standing there looking at him.
BUZZ
The figure in black has a light saber! Alarmed Centam Jakar turn to face this new enemy.
"Who are you" he asked
"Nobody, you just need to know it's just business." Says the figure in black as he takes his cloak off to reveal his handsome face. He stands there with his red light saber pointed down at the ground and away from him in his left hand.
