Lezzz gooooo

Y/N's POV:

I sit in the guild cantina calmly waiting on my payment for killing another hunter who had a bounty on their head.

Boss: Here you go Mando.

He places my payment on the table. I nod my head and collect the money.

Boss: Your numbers are looking good this year, you've never let a bounty go and you've been on time for every single bounty.

Y/N: I do my best.

Boss: Which is why I'm awarding you the 'Dark Bounty'

The normally loud cantina quiets down. The 'Dark Bounty' is considered the hardest bounty any guild has to offer. Everyone who's taken the mission has never been heard from again.

Y/N: Who's the client.

Boss: Someone from the underworld.

Y/N: Figured as much.

Boss: It's a direct commission.

I nod my head.

Y/N: I'll take it.

Boss: I'll let them know your coming to them.

He hands me a chip of sorts. On it are coordinates.

Boss: You need to show that to their security to be let in. Good luck mando, I truly mean it.

I get up and leave the cantina. If this bounty is as dangerous as they say it is then I'd better have a word with Jax.

I reach my ship and start up the engines. I've got a pit stop to make before meeting with the clients.

My destination is one of the moons orbiting Yierro. The moon itself is called Yte. It has everything necessary to sustain life. And it's where the covert is located.

I glance down at the covert as I begin my descent.

We have faced many hard ships here on Yte

We have faced many hard ships here on Yte. From the wild life to pirates and the Empire. But we persevered.

I land the ship in an empty field where various other ships are parked. I then make my way into the covert.

No matter how many times I come here it's always inspiring. A message to the galaxy that even pushed to the brink the Mandalorians will find a way.

I walk across one of the bridges and look around. Foundlings can be seen being taught survival techniques. Other Mandalorians walk around either teaching the foundlings or bettering their own skills.

I make my way into the central building. Within the buildings walls is Jax who turns to me.

Jax: Welcome back.

I nod my head and place down a bag of credits in front of him. Those of us who become bounty hunters have an unspoken rule. We will only keep the money that we need for fuel and food. Otherwise the rest goes to supporting the covert.

Y/N: I'll be leaving on a particularly long mission.

Jax: Where to?

He picks up the money and deposits it in a box.

Y/N: I'm not certain.

Jax: Do you know the bounty?

Y/N: No. Just the rumors.

Jax: Being?

Y/N: No one who takes the bounty survives.

He looks at me and tilts his head. Due to the helmets no one can ever see emotion being displayed by other Mandalorians. But I imagine behind his visor is a look of concern.

Jax: Then you'd best give it your all.

Y/N: I will.

I turn to leave but a hand on my shoulder stops me.

Jax: Be careful Ad.

I nod my head. Ad is the word for son.

Y/N: Of course.

I then walk away and back towards my ship. Once I get in I pull out the chip and plug it in to get the coordinates.

Y/N: Lothal it is.

And so I take off. The stars all melt into a tunnel of light as I make a jump. It's not long before the planet comes into view.

This would be my first time on Lothal. It's weird how I've been a million places, shook a million hands but there's still so much the galaxy has to offer.

I land in one of the Lothal's cities. I then walk to where I'm supposed to meet the clients.

As I walk through the streets I feel people's eyes boring in the back of my head. Some weigh the value of my armor in their minds, if I'm a real Mandalorian or if they could hold their own against me.

I come to a stop at an alley way. I study it to make sure no one is waiting to ambush me.

After making sure it's clear I proceed down the alley. I stop at a door with a marking that the chip has.

I pound on the door and it opens. In front of me is a droid. I hold up the chip and the droid leads me into a room to meet the client.

Client: So this is the hunter sent to me from Yierro.

The client stands up to inspect me.

Client: How can I be sure you'll actually bring me the bounty?

Y/N: I don't fail.

Client: I've heard that a multitude of times.

Y/N: I know.

Client: Not one for conversation are ya?

Y/N: No.

He shrugs before placing a puck down in front of me. Instead of a face it displays a set of last known coordinates along with a tracking fob.

Y/N: What's the pay.

Client: Well it was hundred thousand credits.

He looks my armor up and down.

Client: But a man of your upbringing might appreciate this more.

He places a brick of beskar in front of me. I grab it and study it.

Client: Plenty more upon completion.

I nod my head and stand up.

Y/N: Consider it done.

Client: I hope the stories are more than just that.

I then walk away and back to my ship. It's not long before I take off. I plug in the coordinates and nod to myself.

Nevarro it is. I've been there once with a fellow hunter from Yte. We found traces of a covert on Nevarro.

It's a mostly arid planet. The ground has cracks that lava flows through. Just why would the bounty be here of all places.

With one final jump I make it to Nevarro. I land in the middle of nowhere and step out. The ship locks up behind me and I pull out the tracking fob.

Y/N: Alright. Let's go to work.

Aaaand scene

A quick shoutout to everyone who gave OC's I promise they'll be put in.
