It was time. The sun was fully above the horizon now and Satine was announcing to the people of Mandalore that she has decided to build an army. Watching from behind her, Maul could hear the pain in her voice and he took notice that her legs shook as she spoke. She was a complete pacifist and here she was declaring a war on the Empire. Maul hummed and sent his force out comforting the Duchess, steadying her voice and body, making her sound confident about the words she was saying.
"We have acquired someone who knows the people who are running this Empire. Who, once worked along side the Jedi. He can predict the moves of the Empire and already we know that they have been moving troops closer to to our home. My friend, Maul, will help us build an army and keep Mandalore safe from the Empire!" Satine went on with her speech and Maul moved next to her for the people to see who would be leading their new army. The crowd cheered until they heard another voice.
"No! This will not happen!" A Death Watch warrior shouted and three Death Watch warrior used their jet packs to get up to the balcony Satine, Maul and Satine's guards stood on.
"Mandalore will not be led by some outsider!" The same Warrior said as the three landed next to Maul and Satine. He took off his helmet and looked out at the people of Mandalore.
"I am Pre Vizsla, leader of the Vizsla Clan! How can we be led by some outsider? We are Mandalorians! Warrior blood runs through our veins! Mandalore's army should be run by Mandalorians, not someone who we know nothing about! Look at him! Does he honestly look like someone who the Jedi would work along with?! We can not trust him!" Pre Vizsla shout out to the now quiet people.
"Are you saying that I lied to my people Vizsla?" Satine snapped at him as she felt Maul's presence ensnare her mind, but she fought against it, as it tempted her to quickly stomp out this new problem.
"I am saying, Duchess, that you were once this pacifist and ever since this creature came to our planet with those pirates, you have suddenly declared this war on the Empire!" Vizsla stated to her than looked back at the crowd.
"There will be a war! But we will not be lead by someone who was dropped off by pirates! We can only trust each other! The Mandalorian army will be lead by a true Mandalorian!" Pre Vizsla shouted to them than they stopped when they heard Maul growl.
"Than I challenge you! One warrior to another. And only the strongest shall lead the army of Mandalore!" Maul growled at him stepping between Satine and Pre Vizsla.
"So be it." Pre Vizsla accepted the challenge placed in front of him.
"We will fight, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky. Bring any weapons you want. But I will assure you, I will win." Maul set out the rules for Vizsla and all the people could do was wait now.
