This story is great. I love Mandalorian fics and the Vong (did you know it's an insult to them if you call them like that?) are creepy, sadistic and totally evil bad guys so they make good negative characters. I'm fascinated by their tehnology and at the same time I'm disgusted by it and their whole pain philosophy.

If you're giving ranks around her ner vod could you give me a fighter squadron? I'm a good pilot, even though I tend to fly like I'm mad. How many people go head to head with a missile?

A weird combination, but I guess many feel/think so. And yes, I did know that insult-thingy... poor Anakin... he had to find that out the hard way.

To excuse the long wait for the last chapter, here is

Chapter Six

"Sir, the surviving troops have just arrived," the communications officer reported to Yaggath Sonnog, the highest ranked Yuuzhan Vong warrior in the base.

"Send the commander in," Yaggath Sonnog said. This was actually a rather unusual order, but since the commander didn't appear on his own, the other needed to get him here.

Shortly after his order was executed, a badly injured low-ranked Yuuzhan Vong warrior entered the building.

"Where is Uunas Shai?" Sonnog asked, taken off guard by that announcement.

"He died in battle, sir. That makes you our new commander," the subaltern, called Val Choka, reported. "Our ambush hasn't worked. The infidels were already there when we arrived. They trapped us, there. They were totally outnumbered, but only forty of our two hundred warriors survived. We estimate their troop strength on thirty men, sir."

"Thirty men?! And we still can't beat them with a seven times as big force?! Could you identify them? Are those infidels from the former New Republic? Who are they?"

"We don't know, sir. We only saw schemes of enemies slaying our files. But whatever or whoever they are, sir, they are warriors like I've never seen before. To be honest, I'd set them on the same step with those Jeedai - or even on a higher step, sir. The only chance to beat them is sending in all our forces, sir."

"All of them?" Yaggath Sonnog asked disgustedly. "Are you insane? We have over ten thousand warriors on this planet. No matter how good they fight, they can't stand a chance against one tenth of our troops!"

"I wouldn't be so sure about that, sir. We know that these thirty soldiers aren't the only ones on this planet. We have heard of an attack on the nearest base, sir. I bet those are the same warriors there."

"Do not question my orders, warrior! Send in one thousand warriors to the growing plants. And you will lead them. Then we will see who is right," Yaggath Sonnog ordered.

Val Choka only nodded and attended his duties.

Yun-Yammka, please tell me that he isn't right. If our enemies really-

"Sir, we got another meteorite incoming," the communications officer suddenly interrupted Yaggath Sonnog's thoughts. "It just breached the atmosphere and is heading towards the growing plants."

"Can you confirm that it is a meteorite?"

"Not really, sir. It is too far away to get a good visual on it. - Wait! It seems like the meteorite is breaking in parts."

"Those are no parts," Yaggath Sonnog said desperately. "Those are missiles, and the meteorite is a hostile ship."

"How do you know that sir?" the communications officer said astonished. "It isn't even close enough for us to get a visual on it, and..."

"It is near enough now, officer."

"You're right, sir," the officer admitted after checking his villips. "It is a small abomination ship that is firing missiles and green fire into the plants. It looks like a big insect, sir."

"Bring it down!" Yaggath Sonnog ordered. "It cannot reach the ground. All fire on that abomination. Hurry!"

*******

Boba Fett didn't bother the plasma bullets that were coming from all directions, trying to bring his ship down. The shots were easily absorbed by the ship's hull out of pure Mandalorian iron - and that only when they bypassed the high-energy particle shields of his fighter, what was unlikely.

The two twin low-energy-turbolaser cannons of the small attack-ship were devastating all ground and buildings beneath it, the powerful anti-air SCSK-S4 rockets bringing down the coralskippers sent to intercept him.

The Gauntlet, as Fett called his newest ship, was a heavily modified MandalMotors StarViper assault fighter, equipped with weaponry that could outrun a Star Destroyer with ease. The two twin low-energy turbolaser cannons and the hull reinforced with Mandalorian iron had cost Boba Fett most of his money, but it was more than worth it. The low-energy turbolaser cannons were more powerful than any heavy laser cannon and the damage caused was even more truculent. The Gauntlet resembled a "modern" Basilisk War Droid more than any other spacecraft - not without a droid mind like the old traditional Mandalorian invasion machines.

Somehow, Fett was nearly as much linked to the Gauntlet as to his old ship, which had already been owned by his father, the Slave I. The StarViper-fighter actually had an artificial intelligence that allowed it to operate completely on its own. Not that Boba would need that, but he always went on the safe way. But the bond to his ship had something special, he had to admit - not as special as to his first ship, but still more than any of his other ships, yet.

The coralskipper growing plants had now come close enough that Boba could deploy the concussion charges and finish the job of the Honor Guards. The explosions quickly razed the plants to the ground.

"Barec, come in," Fett said over comm.

"Thanks for clearing things up, sir," Ronan commed back. "But we got another problem: about one thousand Scarheads are approaching the plants. And we have only thirty men left."

"What about the Lancers and Crusaders? Shouldn't they be here right now?"

"No. When we discovered the Yuuzhan Vong moving, we ordered them to stay were they were, in order to fall in the back of the Vong troops, later."

"That's a good choice," Fett said, while destroying more and more buildings in the hostile base. The anti-air projectiles from ground were still trying to penetrate the particle shields of the Gauntlet, but Boba Fett knew that when it went on like that, they ultimately would breach his defenses and bring the heavy fighter down.

"Tell me when you need me, Barec," Fett said. "I have to get rid of something here, first."

"Won't be too long, sir. Barec out."

*******

"Why isn't this abomination down, yet?" Yaggath Sonnog asked furiously. "Haven't I ordered you to bring it down before it reaches the plants?! Now, all our coralskippers are dead and the plants destroyed."

"Sir, it seems to be resistant against our bolts," a warrior answered him.

"Then double your efforts and use grutchins!" Sonnog said and went to the semi-transparent membrane-wall of the building.

The abomination fighter looked more like a fire-breathing insect, which was spitting green flames all round it, destroying everything that came in sight. It reminded Yaggath Sonnog of the bsellikk bug in his home-galaxy, whose feelers squirted green toxin into the enemy's eyes, thus making the enemy unable to fight and see the bug anymore, making it an easy task for the insect to finish its enemy off.

Suddenly, Yaggath Sonnog remembered a legend he had heard a long time ago, on the long voyage to the new galaxy. It had been about the first encounters of the Yuuzhan Vong in this galaxy. A yorik-strohna scout ship - camouflaged as a small asteroid - had been investigating the space near a planet with an asteroid belt, when suddenly an insect-like infidel ship had appeared, firing on the scout ship and several other asteroids. The scout ship had thrown off its asteroid hull and fled, followed by the insect-like ship. The Yuuzhan Vong craft had defended itself and obviously surprised the attacking abomination, and then jumped into darkspace. The attacker had chased it up top the edge of the galaxy and then left it for good. This had, according to the legend, made the Yuuzhan Vong wait for a better time to show up in the galaxy.

The reason why Yaggath Sonnog thought of that was because the described insect-like attacking infidel ship had similarities with the infidel abomination now attacking the base on Dubrillion.

Can it be possible that there is some relation between those two ships? he thought doubtfully. Maybe we have waited too long and those enemies are back now, to let us pay for what we did to their galaxy?

He stopped thinking about that. It was heresy. The gods had found this new galaxy and the warriors weren't allowed to question their gods' decisions. If the gods wanted sacrifices, the Yuuzhan Vong would give them.

Yaggath Sonnog made the membrane totally transparent to see what the infidel fighter was doing. But he couldn't see it anywhere.

At least not before the abomination suddenly appeared directly in front of the window, its 'feelers' starting to spit the green fire ...

Right into the enemy's eyes... was Yaggath Sonnog's last thought before he became one with the flames.

*******

"We could need you here now, sir," Ronan said to Boba Fett over comm.

The Yuuzhan Vong had already approached to fire-range and were throwing their usual first waves of thud and razor bugs. The Mandalorians countered with blaster bolts, grenades, thermal detonators, armor piercing ACPs (Accelerated Charged Particles) and pain bullets.

Until now, the Mandalorians had the advantage of better and more precise ranged weapons, as well as better ground and cover, but when the Yuuzhan Vong had come close enough for melee combat, former advantage would turn into a disadvantage, and the sheer number of scarheads would eventually mean victory for them.

"Give me one more second," Fett replied. "I'm just taking out the last anti-air building, or whatever the Vongese call that."

His words were followed by a big explosion, which Ronan could hear before he could see it, because Fett had kept the comm-channel open.

"Alright, what you do need me for, Barec?" the Mandalore asked.

"We need you to take out one thousand scarheads, sir," Ronan answered and then fired a round of pain bullets at the nearest enemies. "Sorry, I must correct me: nine-hundred and ninety-three scarheads."

"Very well," Fett answered. "Stay away, Mandalorians. Your built-in filters will protect you from the toxins, but the density of the fog will take you any sight."

Ronan pointed his men to retreat, finished off some more Yuuzhan Vong and then waited for Boba Fett to release his special missiles. Using the same toxin as the pain bullets, the missiles released a gas that hit the Yuuzhan Vong nervous system hard and fast. Strikingly called nervekillers, those toxins were the direct opposite of painkillers.

Boba Fett released the missile on the nearest group of Yuuzhan Vong and it exploded in the air, releasing the deadly toxins. Three more missiles at other places finished it.

Ronan already wanted to thank Fett when suddenly Atross reported over comm: "Good job, Mand'alor, but we have nine thousand more scarheads in our neck. And I bet you haven't got any more of those missiles, have you?"



To be continued...

It's not as long as I wanted it to be, but longer than any other chapter yet.
Please some critics and comments, as usual. happy

Another piece of post-ROTJ EU I don't like: The numerous "Slaves" replacing the Slave I. The Slave I has a legacy, as it was his father's ship as well. Replacing it so many times...

Anyway. I love the entrance of Boba Fett. I was kinda expecting him to just blow open a wall and leap through the flames, but that's just me. tongue

And Kudzu's right, those poor walking cliches are just being toyed with by the Mandalorians. Beautiful. happy

Awesome. I love lines like those. Shows that everything's not 'static' on the other end of the com line.

Slave V, eh? Love the description. And Val Choka? Good touch, having relatives of the more 'famous' scarheads show up.

The Slave V is totally fanmade by me (© tongue ). The only ships that actually play a role in the EU are the Slave I and later the Slave II. About the Slave III nothing is known, and the Slave IV had only a very short apperance. And don't forget, that Boba still had his original ship all the time. He just didn't use it... fortunately, because the following ships all had been somehow destroyed... and we don't want the Slave I be destroyed, do we?

Thanks. And yes, such familiar names are easier than "new" names... Uunas Shai had another Shai-guy as naemsake wink

btw, for those of you who know and played KotOR II... you can think of Boba's landing on Dubrillion like the landing of Canderous' Basilisk War Droid on Onderon, just replace the Onderon buildings through Vong buildings, add lots of coralskippers and overall much more action. grin

btw, here is the cut-sence of the Basilisk's landing on Onderon in .avi-format (only 5 MB, but you need DivX-codec to play it):

"Sorry, I must correct me: nine-hundred and ninety-three Yuuzhan Vong."

While i'm not a grammer teacher, i think it would be "myself" and not "me". The sentacne could look more like this:

"Sorry, I must correct myself: nine-hundred and ninety-three Yuuzhan Vong."


On the Chapter, great job with the battle, my fav part was the idea link with the story canderous had said in KOTOR. I love that style of inter-linking!
