The Mandalorian (Din Djarin x Female!Reader) (Discontinued)

Chapter 9: The Marshal

Din and (y/n) slowly walk down the dirt street of the dark, urban landscape, the Child floating in his pod beside them. The building walls were coated in graffiti and the entire place looks quite run-down. 

As they walk throughout the seedy town, the Child takes notice of numerous lairs of red eyes staring at them from the sides of the street. He lightly whimpers in fright, which (y/n) sensed this and she looks over at him. "It's alright." She assured him as he looks up at him with his big brown eyes.

She gives him a reassured smile just as they approach a door, which a sinister looking Twi'lek doorman is guarding. "We're here to see Gor Koresh." Din tells him and the doorman glances at the Child, who coos, before moving aside and allowing the door to open. "Enjoy the fights." he tells them and the trio descends down some stairs into a fighting area.

Spectators surround an elevated platform, where two Gamorrean warriors are clashing with axes. Various flags with vibrant designs hang above the platform as well. The spectators cheer and shout in alien languages as the Child looks around curiously.

Din settles into a seat next to Gor Koresh, a chubby Abyssin dressed in very fancy attire, while (y/n) takes the seat next to Din. "You know this is no place for a child." Gor tells the hunters. "Wherever we go, he goes." Din tells him, which makes Gor chuckle. "So I’ve heard." he said.

"We’ve been quested to bring him to his kind. If we can locate other Mandalorians, they can help guide us. We were told you know where to find them." Din said to him. "It’s uncouth to talk business immediately. Just enjoy the entertainment." Gor said and they turn their attention to the ring.

The Child coos in slight distress and surprise at the Gamorrean’s axes fiercely clanging together, as he observes the intense brawl. The opposing Gamorrean knocks Gor’s Gamorrean to the ground. "Bah! My Gamorrean’s not doing well. Kill him! Finish him!" Gor shouts and the opposing Gamorrean slashes down with his axe, but Koresh’s warrior rolls out of the way just in time to dodge.

"Do you and your friend gamble, Mando?" Gor asked. "Not when it can be avoided." Din replied as (y/n) shakes her head. "Well, I’ll bet you the information you seek that this Gamorrean’s going to die within the next minute and a half...and all you have to put up in exchange is your shiny beskar armor." Gor said after he chuckles and gestures at Din's armor. "I’m prepared to pay you for the information. I’m not leaving my fate up to chance." Din warns.

"Nor am I." Gor said and he pulls out his blaster out of his coat and shoots the opposing Gamorrean, which falls over dead on the floor. His axe clangs down next to his head.

The spectators gasp in surprise as Gor's henchmen rise from behind and beside him, drawing their guns to Din's and (y/n)'s head, along with Gor himself. The spectators flood out of the arena.

"Thank you for coming to me. Normally, I have to seek out remnants of you Mandalorians in your hidden hives to harvest your precious shiny shells." Gor chuckles. "Beskar’s value continues to rise. I’ve grown quite fond of it. Give it to me now or I will peel it off your corpse." He threatens.

"Tell us where the Mandalorians are and we’ll walk outta here without killing you." (Y/n) growls at him and Gor chuckles. "I thought you said you weren’t a gambler…" Gor said.

The Child looks on as Din readies his whistling birds for attack and he quickly closes himself within his crib. "We're not." Din said and he releases the whistling birds. They shoot out and kill four of the henchmen. (Y/n) kicks the Child's crib out of the way and the Gamorrean jumps down from the platform to tackle her.

As she shifts to the side, the Gamorrean smashes into the wooden bench and is knocked out. The Twi'lek doorman grabs Din from behind but is quickly dispatched by him. Gor runs out of the arena, frightened, as Din and (y/n) fight with two Zabraks and a human warrior.
