That's an order!

My apologies, oh Fandalore. I'm currently occupied by the thorny problem of how to neutralize the Solo twins with extreme prejudice. thinking

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.
As it should be. mischief tongue

"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."
How many M<andos are there present again? I'll have to go look.

Should be "those aren't parts"

Just a quick English reminder to take note of, and don't worry. Your English is a lot better than my Deutsche. tongue happy

"You're right, sir," the officer said after checking his villips. "It is a small fighter that is firing rockets and laser bolts into the plants. It looks like a big insect, sir."
Oh yes.....

Corran_Fett posted:
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.
Pure Mandalorian iron?? shock cowboy

Corran_Fett posted:
The Slave V, as Boba called his newest ship, was a heavily modified MandalMotors Starviper assault fighter, equipped with weaponry that could outrun a Star Destroyer with ease.
Should be "outfight" rather than "outrun" but that's just a small note.

Corran_Fett posted:
The two double low-energy tubrolaser cannons and the hull reinforced with Mandalorian Iron had cost Boba Fett most of his money, but it was more than worth it.
I should think it would be. shock mischief

[quote=Corran_Fett]The low-energy tubrolaser cannons were more powerful than any heavy laser cannon and the damage caused was even more truculent. The Slave V resembled a "modern" Basilisk War Droid more than any other spacecraft - not without a droid mind like the old traditional Mandalorian invasion machines.[/quote]"Like the the Crusaders of old, the Mandalore brought the wrath of the infidels upon the Yuuzhan Vong" thinking grin cowboy

[quote=Corran_Fett]Somehow, Boba was more linked to the Slave V than 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 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.[/quote]Hmmm. Fett's Falcon? thinking wink

[quote=Corran_Fett]"Ronan, come in," Boba said over comm.

"Thanks for clearing this 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."[/quote]Oww! They're in a tight spot, even for Mandalorians. worried

[quote=Corran_Fett]"Tell me when you need me, Ronan," Boba said. "I have to get rid of something here, first."[/quote] grin

"Why isn't this fighter 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."

[quote=Corran_Fett]"Sir, it seems to be resistant against our bolts," a warrior answered him.

"Then double your efforts and use grutchins!"[/quote] thinking

[quote=Corran_Fett]The hostile fighter looked more like a fire-breathing insect that 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.[/quote]"Bsellikk"? Now why does that sound familiar? thinking mischief

[quote=Corran_Fett]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 scout ship - camouflaged as a small asteroid - had been investigating the space near a planet with an asteroid belt, when suddenly an insect-like ship had fired at 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 scout ship had defended itself and obviously surprised the attacker and then jumped into darkspace. The attacker had chased it up top the edge of the galaxy and then left it for good. That had made the Yuuzhan Vong wait for a better time to show up in the galaxy.[/quote]And Mandalore Canderous makes it into the story! Hoo-Ahh!! grin

[quote=Corran_Fett]The reason why Yaggath Sonnog thought of that was because the described insect-like attacking ship had similarities with the enemy fighter 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?[/quote]When you deal with Mando'ade, you can never tell. mischief

[quote=Corran_Fett]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.[/quote]Nice depiction of Scarhead religious mores. applause

[quote=Corran_Fett]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.[/quote]I wonder what kind of cool acronym we could come up with for the pain bullets. thinking

[quote=Corran_Fett]"We need you to take out one thousand Yuuzhan Vong, sir," Ronan answered and then fired a round of pain bullets at the nearest enemies.[/quote]Should probably change "round" (singular) to "burst". thinking

[quote=Corran_Fett]"Sorry, I must correct myself: nine-hundred and ninety-three Yuuzhan Vong." [/quote]Nice shootin', kid. grin cowboy

[quote=Corran_Fett]"Very well," Boba 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."[/quote]What about the helmetless non-human Mandos?

[quote=Corran_Fett]Ronan pointed his men to retreat, finished off some more Yuuzhan Vong and then waited Boba to release his special missiles. Using the same toxin like 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.[/quote]They sure don't pull their punches, do they. skull tongue

[quote=Corran_Fett]And I bet you haven't got any more of those missiles, have you?"[/quote]One would like to hope so. Ha! That's probably the same thing I'd say in that situation. cool

Great chapter as usual, Corran. Boba Fett seemed very much cool and in control, and the references to Canderous Ordo and the origin of the Basilisk war droids was a terrific addition! applause

Keep it coming. peace

Chapter Seven

Ny'ong Yutt still felt the incredible pain, but he was conscious again. Bit by bit, the pain decreased, and the Yuuzhan Vong could see and feel again.

He got up and looked around. The small isle he was on was the only land in a range of about five kilometers. Elsewhere, there was only water. A lot of water.

Ny'ong Yutt could barely remember what had happened. He had exited the yorik-trema with his troops and they had moved on to the crash-site, when they had fallen into an ambush and he had been shot down by a new kind of weapon he wouldn't even have tried to imagine. He had not been able to make out who his attackers were, but there was one thing he knew for sure: they were neither soldiers of the infidel New Republic Defense Force nor of the Imperial Remnants or else factions. They were a new enemy - one that couldn't just be easily dismissed.

Those infidels - whoever they are - probably came here to occupy the planet, Ny'ong Yutt thought. And I don't doubt they will succeed in that. I have to get off here and tell the Warmaster about this new threat. But how? I can't even escape from this small isle...

Ny'ong Yutt was more than desperate, and the still existing pain - not as strong as before, but still above all levels, even for a Yuuzhan Vong - didn't help it.

It was impossible for him to swim to the next island - the one where the new enemies had landed. The isle he was on had nothing to offer what could make him able to build a raft. There was only grass on it, nothing more.

So he had to wait until a patrol ship came, and, with a bit of luck, notice him.

And he knew that it could already be too late then.

*******

"Good job, sir, but we have nine thousand more scarheads in our neck," the excited, purring voice of Atross came out of Ronan's commlink. "And I bet you haven't got any more of those missiles, have you?"

"We still have a squadron of Pursuers, two KDY drop ships, the Slave I and the Nemesis at our proposal," Ronan said calmly. "That should be enough firepower to take them out twice."

"I agree," Boba Fett commented with his usual harsh voice. "But we need to get all scarheads to one position in order to take them out with one single stroke."

"Might I add," a rather unfamiliar voice - Ronan thought it was Ayden Stone, one of the surviving Crusaders - said, "that they still have some aircrafts functioning? I highly doubt they won't use them."

"I say we send the Pursuers to cause a distraction attack on the hostile ships and use the heavy gunships to bomb the land troops," Ronan suggested.

"That's how we do it," Fett said approvingly. "Send the Warrior's Claw back to the Legacy and pack it with as many missiles and bombs as possible. Thor, you will take the Claw and then lead the Pursuers to attack," he ordered the experienced pilot over comm.

"Affirmative," Katin 'Thor' Tyark said and called the Warrior's Claw for pick-up. It was on the island where the Mandalorians had landed again and had to pick up Thor before takeoff.

"ETA is two hours, sir," Ronan reported to Mandalore. "Until then, it's going to get hot down here. We better join at the plants and then hold the position."

"I will give you cover, Lancers," Fett said and maneuvered the Gauntlet to Lancers' and Crusaders' position.

Ronan watched the StarViper attack ship head to the hostile front, deploying the second nervekiller-missile and burning turbolaser-fire into the enemy lines.

His Honor Guards had nothing to do right now but waiting for the Lancers' and Crusaders' arrival, and so Ronan enjoyed every little bit of this short time of rest.

The first time since his arrival on Dubrillion, Ronan actually had time to think about the operation so far. It hadn't all gone as planned, but they had reached their main objective and taken out the main base and the growing plants.

Ronan was surprised that yet so many Mandalorians had made it so far. Boba Fett has done a great job in rejoining them, he thought. No other army or military unit in the galaxy would have come so far with so few troops.

********

On the other side of the battlefield, there was no time to rest.

There was a fierce battle going on, and the Mandalorians could just quite defend themselves and retreat, while the Yuuzhan Vong were marching forward, ignoring the turbolaser blasts from the Gauntlet. The Vong didn't mind losses in this battle. Their attackers had to be killed by all means. The Vong had transformed from more or less honorable warriors to raging animals that couldn't be stopped by anything.

All that didn't really help Ayden Stone in his fight. His old slugthrower was out of ammo and he had now to use his hidden weapons.

Such as my nifty wrist-mounted flamethrower.

Ayden loved that weapon. It wasn't very clean or precise, but even more effective, especially against Yuuzhan Vong.

The waves of flames hold the Yuuzhan Vong off, but others followed, stepping over their dead comrades, throwing plasma eels, thud and razor bugs all around them. It was hard for most of the Mandalorians to avoid hits, and many got hurt and some even deadly injured. It wasn't a fair fight after all.

Boba Fett's attempts to help were only useful against the Yuuzhan Vong that weren't near to the Mandalorians, and the others could still fought on in close quarters, where Fett couldn't risk hitting his own men.

Ayden Stone unleashed one more burst of bright flames before he deactivated the fierce and deadly weapon. The fuel tank was nearly empty, and Ayden needed the remaining fuel for his jetpack. He was one of the few Mandalorians - a Mandalorian Supercommando, actually - who actually had a jetpack. All the higher ranked supercommandos had one, and also all of the Lancers, who were specialized in airborne combat. The reason why they hadn't used them yet was simple: they had to spare them for a better purpose.

Ayden Stone knew that now the time for a better purpose had come.

"Get airborne, Mandalorians!" he ordered. His low rank didn't matter - the others followed his order with pleasure; ranks generally didn't really matter to Mandalorians - they still fought well without anybody having leading rolls, apart from Mandalore and other high-ranked supercommandos.

Only three quarters of the Mandalorians had a jetpack, but most of them airlifted others and so could withdraw from the frontline easily.

While he was waiting until most of the Mandalorians had retreated, Stone fired wrist darts at the still approaching Yuuzhan Vong, hitting them hard in their faces.

Another nice gadget, he thought, smiling about the deadly weapon, which was only really deadly when it hit a Yuuzhan Vong's face. It simply blew the outer-galactican's head off.

He checked the situation and noticed that he could accompany his comrades now.

He tossed one last thermal detonator at his enemies, then turned around and activated the jetpack while running as fast as his feet allowed him to. The sudden boost lifted him from the ground and he enjoyed the short moment of flying longer than it actually took.

It was about a kilometer from his current position to the growing plants, and he feared that there wasn't enough fuel for the whole distance.

Just as he had estimated, two hundred meters before he reached the plants, the low-fuel-alarm rang off and Ayden slowly maneuvered down to ground.

He hit the ground harder than he had wanted to, rolled over and began to sprint the last meters to the plants.

The Honor Guards had already set up a stable defense line and trenches to keep the position. They even had mounted several E-web heavy laser cannons, mortars and rotary guns. Stone jumped into one of the trenches were the other leaders were.

"Ayden Stone reporting for duty, sirs," he said breathlessly. He wondered why this little action had made him so exhausted. "All Mandalorians have retreated, but most of us are out of ammo and fuel. You don't happen to have some of that here, do you?"

"Unfortunately, we don't have much ammo remaining, either," Ronan, who had taken off his matte silver helmet, said. He was pouring some water on his military short shoved hair, taking a last refreshment before the battle began. "We have to wait for the Claw's return, what should be in about one and half an hour."

"K'atini," Ayden cursed in Mando'a. "How the shab can we be able to hold off the crab-boys for so long?"

"By being Mandalorians," Ronan answered, grinning, and took a mouthful of water from his bottle. "We still have our Mandalore up there. Give up now, and we'll never make it."

"Yes, sir," Ayden answered doubtfully. I guess he's right and it's just me, he thought. But I still have a bad feeling about this...

********

A silhouette of a small ship showed up on the horizon, and Ny'ong Yutt's hope came back. The silhouette became clearer and eventually he could make out the vessel as a small Yuuzhan Vong patrol ship.

Still, there was something about it that didn't feel right. What should a patrol ship do here, while on the other side of the planet a fierce battle was fought?

But Ny'ong Yutt had no choice, after all. No matter who the passengers where, it was his only chance to get off that small isle he had been put on.

If the passengers were the infidel warriors, it would be an honor for Ny'ong Yutt to die by their hands. After all, they had showed themselves worthy - more than worthy.

The patrol ship seemed to see him and approached slowly, without any noise as Ny'ong Yutt was used to. The infidel abomination ships were all too loud - something that Ny'ong Yutt hated most about the abominations the infidels used instead of living beings that the glorious gods had given the Yuuzhan Vong.

The ship was very close now and a membrane opened, revealing a Yuuzhan Vong warrior behind it.

"Are you the only survivor, sir?" he cried out.

"Yes, I am," Ny'ong Yutt answered furiously. "Now get me off this isle, warrior!"

"Sorry sir, yes," the warrior answered and ordered the pilot something Yutt couldn't understand. The ship came down close enough that Ny'ong Yutt could climb up, with some help from the warrior inside.

He ignored the warrior and ordered the ship's pilot: "Get me off this planet as quickly as possible. I have to tell the Warmaster about this new threat."

Instead of the pilot, the warrior answered him. "That's impossible, sir. We need you in battle. You are our highest ranked warrior, and without lead I doubt we have a chance against those infidels. Besides, this patrol ship can't survive in space, sir - in case you forgot that."

"I know that it dies in space, warrior," Ny'ong Yutt said raging. "Now, get me to the main base. And give me a status report en route."

"Yes, sir!"

The pilot turned the ship in direction to the base and accelerated. It would take half an hour to the base, and on the way, Ny'ong Yutt was told the situation.

It didn't sound too good after all. Not that I wouldn't have expected that, he thought. They seem to be very honorable enemies...

********

"We have three small ships that just came out of hyperspace, sir," an officer from the Legacy reported to Boba Fett, who was still flying the Gauntlet over the Yuuzhan Vong troops, its turbolaser cannons unceasingly blasting the hostiles without any mercy.

"They're all Skipray blastboats, sir," the officer answered to Fett's unasked question. "The leading one is establishing contact with us."

"Who is it?" Fett asked. "Let's hope it's not someone from this vile heap of scumbags called Peace Brigade."

"It's Kir Kanos, sir, and he wants to talk to you."


To be continued...

Sweet. happy

As cool as that was, I was expecting more Boba action. That one chapter ending with hopes of seeing Boba just jump in to save everyone's ass, but he just kinda participates in the battle normally.

But still good, Dave. happy

This isn't a Boba fic at all. When starting this fic, I actually never intended to let him show up in the first place...
I rather wanted to make an OC-only fic... anyway, he will have some action with Kir Kanos soon wink

another wonderful chapter, thx!

I love how you now include Kir Kanos! that´ll rock! any chance another missing character may return? Callista.. either as dark jedi or vongshaped halfhuman-halfvong vongerella?

besides: some critique:

You portray the characters very well, and it is easy since most of them seem to be your creations. but keep in mind Boba Fetts past, his family and his character as hunter in comics and novels. there are inconsistencies in EU, but he shouldn´t be just a Mandalore stereotype or "another characterisation" boba fett. you are good so far, writing him, but he needs just 1% more of Bobaness.
