Chapter 8 - Rhen Var

My next target is on the planet of Rhen Var, the Jakobeast. A herd creature capable of using force push. They can even use force push together to create a strong repulsion that can shake a small forest or larger depending on the number of Jakobeast. As for why Rhen Var and not Hoth? The answer is because of Solari.

Solari is a type of lightsaber crystal. A crystal so powerful in the light side that it is impossible to bleed. To bleed a crystal is to corrupt it with the darkside and turn it red. This sort of crystal is extraordinary powerful and coveted by the Jedi Order. The crystal was first discovered by Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma after the Great Sith War in 3986 BBY. Now that I have interacted with the force, and can recognize its energy field; I can scan the world for a nexus of the force. I reckon that Solari will be giving off a huge energy field. More and more do I appreciate the time I spent reading Star Wars lore during my life as a human.

The planet has much history, even the Rakatan Infinite Empire took control of the world in the past. It is quite the shame that they are all dead, none left to collect a trophy from.

I input the coordinates of the world and wait a little while. I arrived on the world and scanned the world for a force nexus. I also scanned for clumped heat signatures. I found a nexus and clump of heat signatures together to my delight. I made way to that area on the surface in a scout ship. Rhen Var is a cold wasteland where everywhere is covered in snow. Only creatures such as the Jakobeasts could survive here.

A blizzard was going on, so I had my scout hover and I jumped off. I didn't want it to be covered in snow and give myself a pain in the ass. After I jumped down, I started to get my bearings and find the direction I needed to go in. As I turned to my side, I saw a group of heat signatures looking at me. I growl, "Jakobeast!" The whole herd collectively force pushes me and I launch like a cannon ball. I hit what is thought to be a mountain, as an avalanche fell on me as I roared in unwillingness.

I get buried dozens of feet in snow and curse my luck. Angry, I vented plasma from my techno-armor and shot wantonly with my plasma cannons trying to blast my self out. After a whole hour, I managed to blast myself out. Now free from my temporary grave, I roared into the blizzard with the desire of vengeance. I thought out loud with growls, "Damn Jakobeast! I'll skin your entire herd and line the halls of my mothership with your hides as rugs!"

I use my bio-helmet to analyze the packing of the snow. The snow packs differently where it has been walked upon. Therefore, even though the tracks are covered, I can see under the snow layer and still get their trail. I start running in focused determination to claim their heads.

I soon catch up with them as they were only walking. As they are a herd and tight nit, I started blasting. I blasted a hole through the rear guard. Unlike the Akk Dogs, they do not have resistant hides. They attempted to force push me together again, but I wasn't having it. I did the signature Predator super jump to avoid the push that cleared the blizzard for but a second. I blasted holes through two more. It was originally a herd of 30, now down to 27. I dodged the same way another two times, now the herd is down to 23. This is when they rushed. Jakobeast are essentially Sabertooth Tiger/Bovine Hybrids. This made them large, fast a head of two tusk, teeth, and snarls.

I brought out my wristblades and went into a melee with them. They stood my height while on all fours, so I could wrestle them. Problem is they came all at once. I put away my plasma cannons since they only make this hunt less fun.

The first one I caught by the tusk, wrestled him to fall on his side and ripped its throat open with my wristblades. I was blindsided by another and was tackled. It tried to maul with the tusk, but I block them and kicked off a little. I back rolled to get on my feet again. I jumped on its back and started ripping into its spine.

Two more jumped me at once. The first one launched me into the air, the other caught by the leg and tried to gnaw into it. My armor protected me though. The first came up and tried to gnaw my arm. They both met my wristblades and had their face cut up badly. A trio on my right force pushed me together and knocked me to the side a few meters. I was beset by a new duo.

I kicked the first one in the head, HARD, to stun it and stop it from getting on me. The second one lay on top of me and used its maw to try and bite into my head. Getting sick of their shit, I straight up used brute strength. I caught by the tusk, crunched by abdomen to sit up, and drove a wristblade into its neck. I retracted the blade, got under it, and from a kneeling position lifted it above my head with a roar. I then threw the bleeding out Jakobeast into the herd, knocking some over. I roared again to taunt them and started to run straight into them again. A roar that roughly translated to, "Have at thee you hairy, ugly motherfuckers! I'm having you all for dinner!"

I continued my fight with them. It was a wild fight of being force pushed, pounced, rammed, bitten, swiped, and wrestling. Speaking of ramming, one the Jakobeast managed to get a perfect hit during a ram with their tusk point. It is the tusk that channels the force too, which could explain why it slightly penetrated my armor and wound me directly to a small degree. Even with my more durable skin, it punctured in 3 inches. Manageable wound, but annoying because of the stinging. I quickly forgot about through adrenaline.

After some more fight, there was only one Jakobeast left. For this one, I put away my wristblades. It charge to ram me. I grabbed its tusk and moved to flip it on its side. As it was falling on its side, I jerked its head in the opposite direction. By using its own weight, and my hold on the tusk, I twisted its head enough in the opposite direction and to break its neck cleanly.

Its death signaled the end of my intensive hunt. I roared in triumph that I bested all thirty of the Jakobeasts at once. My roar is upon a bloodied snow the blizzard cannot cover, covered by the bodies of the hunted Jakobeasts.
