I hope I'll be able to keep the overall quality of that, but I can't promise anything, and I can't promise that each chapter will be as good, or as long, as the prologue.

Oh, and for what happens next, you shouldn't have to wait too long for Chapter One...

	Chapter I: Choices Hotel Garridan, Contruum, 29 A.B.Y. - 46 months into the Yuuzhan Vong War "Wait a second. Did I get this right?! You actually got away by hijacking their ship? Wasn't that crawling with Peace Brigaders?" "Surprisingly, it wasn't," Macos Fenix replied. "After Sar—no, wait it's Ara, not Sarad; I still can't get over with her not telling me her name before the landing." He shook his head. "Well, after Ara had taken out their leader—and his second-in-command, as it turned out later—and broadcasted that on the comms, the rest of those scumbags pretty hastily capitulated, and as it turned out, a group of only forty-two Peace Brigaders had come to hijack the ship—and all 42 had been aboard Sundance. So, Ara decided to pilot the Peace Brigade's freighter, since it was faster and she needed to get here as soon as possible." "So how come you are here, too, then?" his dialogue partner asked sarcastically. "Believe me, if I were you, I never would've done that..." "Well... Ara knew I was on the run, so she invited me to come with her. But why shouldn't I have agreed? So tell me, Stone, is there something else I don't know, yet, apart from the fact that she's Mandalorian, just as everybody else, here?" "Wait and see, burc'ya," Ayden Stone said, stood up and tapped comradely on the non-Mandalorian's shoulder. "The meeting should begin in a few minutes, and I think you're free to join in—only if you want to, of course." "It's not like I have a lot of other things to do..." Macos said, rose from the couch he had been sitting on and followed the Mandalorian soldier, who was wearing a full armor suit—only without the helmet—and was armed to the teeth with an amount of weapons Macos didn't even want to try counting. Always ready for action, they are, Macos thought. I wouldn't want to run across one of those pals in the wrong alley at the wrong time... "So, what's this meeting all about, again?" he asked after catching up with Stone. They were walking through the lobby of Hotel Garridan, a second-rate flophouse that didn't catch much attraction, and the owners didn't ask questions—just what the Mandos need, Macos thought. "Impatient, are we?" the other just said, and then repeated his words from before. "Wait and see, burc'ya, wait and see." They headed upstairs now, towards a wide door adorned by a sign that read "Authorized Personnel Only". Nevertheless, Ayden Stone just carried on and as they were close, the door just slid up and revealed an ample room. Most eye-catching was a large round table in the middle, with roughly twenty seats, and all sorts of drinks in the middle. But even more eye-catching were the kind people in the room. Before meeting Ara Norvath, Macos had never even seen a single Mandalorian at one and the same time, but now there were these about twenty men and women in one room and at one time, all fully armed in their Mandalorian armor suits. It was an impressive sight, and Macos was glad about the fact that he wasn't staring up the business-end of various kinds of weapons, as you usually had to expect when meeting so many of those ancient and ruthless warriors gathered at one place. What surprised the former bounty hunter was that while they were all wearing about the same basic template of armor, each of their suits was unique, with very distinctive features, colors, markings and gadgets. There was one grim-looking Mandalorian in a black, dark-green-clad armor adorned by crimson bloodstripes on its left. The man was even wearing a skirt, as Macos noticed amusedly, like apparently many of them did. Then there was a tall Togorian, also in a black armor; a man with a gray-golden color scheme and a baby's hand imprint on the helmet lying before him on the table, Ara in her plain matte-olive armor, and even a small, but still reverential Noghri whose armor consisted only in chestplates and gauntlets, as well as several other varieties in color and armor-modifications, but Macos's glance halted on one especially impressive and distinctive model. The tall man's armor looked nothing like the others, and on first view, it was utmost terrifying: it still had the traditional breastplates and gauntlets, but from the shoulders, the elbows, the knees, the forearms and simply everywhere, long, black, organic-looking spikes jabbed out—it unpleasantly reminded Macos of a Yuuzhan Vong warrior's vonduun-crab-armor, and even the armor plates had the distinctive surface of the Vong-bred creatures' crust. No, it doesn't remind me of a scarhead armor, he thought. It kriffing looks exactly like one! And save for the Mandalorian's head and a few mechanical features, it really did—and with the helmet on, the man had to enrage any Yuuzhan Vong to a level that could simply not be wholesome. The Mandalorian soldier himself didn't look quite inviting, either—he had long, black dreadlocks, a wooly beard, and a tanned face marked by a black, star-like tattoo around his left eye. Probably Kiffar, Macos, the only non-Mandalorian in the room, thought. "Eerie, isn't it?" the man said, obviously having noticed Macos's awe, and went over to him, offering his hand. Next to him was standing a blond teenage boy in white armor, who was only a head shorter than his father. "Altair Jiriad, and this is my son Skira. You'd be Macos Fenix, right? Ara told me about you." Macos hadn't noticed the boy before, and it surprised him to see a child on the meeting; he definitely needed to know more about that, but for now, he was more interested in the armor. So he just winked at Skira, politely took the father's hand and shook it—the strong grip didn't surprise him. "Yep, that's me. Have you used that suit in battle, already?" "Straight to the point—I like that." Jiriad smirked. "Unfortunately, no. But I can't wait to hear what the crab-boys have to say—or better scream—when they see it." Macos smiled and wanted to ask more questions, but then Stone, who had been talking to a gray-haired, blue-armored Mandalorian in the meantime, came back and interrupted him. "Everybody's here, so get a seat. It's beginning any moment, now." The non-Mandalorian nodded, wondering why there wasn't a general announcement and only he was addressed, but he noticed that nevertheless, the other Mandalorians sat down and became silent, so he followed their example and took a seat next to Ara. Only the Mandalorian in the deep blue battle-scarred armor, the one Stone had been talking to, was still standing, and he began. "First of all, I'd like to introduce Macos Fen—" The spokesman was interrupted as the door suddenly slid open and a helmeted Mandalorian in a rust-colored armor that looked completely untouched, shiny and new walked in. Macos instinctively glanced at Ara, the only person he halfway knew, but she was too startled to notice him—startled in a way he hadn't expected from a battle-experienced woman, and she had an expression on her face the bounty hunter couldn't really relate. But the she wasn't the only one who was surprised about the newcomer. The standing Mandalorian signaled the others to wait, walked over to the interrupter and began talking to him in a low voice, so that the others couldn't hear them. "What's this all about?" Macos quietly asked Ara. "Osi'kyr. I don't have a clue why my husband suddenly shows up here," she answered. "Your husband? I knew there was something else you didn't tell me... but shouldn't you be glad to see him?" "Well, we actually had a deal that he looked after the kids while I was joining the ranks. He never used to be a good fighter, you know, and it's actually the first time I see him in his armor." "Weird. So what's he doing here? It's obviously not about you 'cause he'd have run over to you by now." "We'll find out soon enough," Ara said—somehow, Macos knew that she didn't really want to talk about that topic, now, and so she carried on. "Meanwhile, I can introduce everyone to you, if you don't mind." The bounty hunter knew well not to raise the old topic, so he just said: "Sure, go ahead." "Alright. Left to you is Ayden Stone, you should know him already; then there's our expert in all kinds of blow-stuff-up, the Togorian Atross; followed by Kharritokh of clan Bakh'tor, our little Noghri friend. The next one is Jiriad in his vongyc armor and his son Skira, followed by the siblings Jorso and Kyra Sateda, Tristan, Tagren, Vhon, and the Clawdite Sinan. Next to me are our two snipers Ronan Barec and Ram Zerimar, and our blademaster Gladus." Macos recognized the last two. Ram was the one with the small hand imprint on his helmet, and Gladus the one in the jet-black armor with the bloodstripes. He had very grim, unfriendly features and graying buzz-cut brown hair and a well-maintained combination moustache and goatee beard like Macos himself. His armor seemed to be designed to give place to as many knives, blades, and swords as possible, and an impressive scar scoring his forehead and his right eye definitely showed that he wasn't scared of Yuuzhan Vong up close. "And last but not least," Ara continued and pointed at the gray-haired Mandalorian talking to her husband, "there's Goran Beviin, and of course my husband Sareth." Macos wondered who was older, Beviin or Gladus. "That Beviin," he asked, musing, "is he some sort of leader... your... Mandalore?" "Mandalore?!" Ara laughed. "No, but he's the one who called us here, probably on the behalf of Mandalore Fett. I don't know why, but Beviin seems to—" "Wait, wait, wait!" the other interrupted. "Fett... like Boba Fett?! Isn't he still in business?" "Yes, Boba Fett is our Mandalore. And yes, he's also still a bounty hunter, if that's what you mean. But many of us are mercenaries or bounty hunters—and farmers, smiths, security officers or anything else. That's how we earn our living, after all. Don't tell me you where thinking that we actually get paid for doing this—whatever this is, anyway." "No, but shouldn't he have other... er... duties," Macos said, slightly annoyed by the Mandalorian woman's laughter, "as ruler of a whole civilization?" "Ever since the beginning of the war," Ayden Stone joined the conversation, "Fett had more urgent things to do than hunting bounties—one being personally training a good bunch of Mando'ade and preparing a whole sector against the inevitable attack from the Vongese. But when he's not actually occupied fighting a war where the fate of our galaxy is at stake, he, too, has got to earn his money somehow." "Hmmm..." Macos mused. "So why isn't Fett here, then? I thought this was some sort of assembly of all the leading figures of the Mandalorians." "It's not as easy as that," Ara said. "There's a lot to Mandalorian... civilization... that is difficult for aruetiise like you—outsiders, non-Mandalorians—to understand. It's hard to explain, so if you really want to know what being a Mando'ad is all about, if you really want to understand our culture, then it's best you become a Mandalorian." "Hmm... you already told me that you don't need to be born as a Mandalorian to be one, but me and becoming a Mandalorian? Sure, a perky temptation, but I'll definitely need a few nights taking counsel with my pillow on that one. Anyway, seems like that Beviin's done with your husband—I'm starting to get edgy about what's my role in all of this." Beviin had now returned to his seat, sitting down this time, and Ara's husband, Sareth, had also found a seat on the other side of the table. He searched eye-contact with Ara, but she tried to avoid it. "Well, now," Beviin began once more. "Things have changed; not only have I now to introduce another one joining this round, but also do I have bad news. Sareth Karr here—" Beviin pointed at Karr and the other Mandalorians saluted politely, but from their expressions, Macos could tell that they were not all that content about another newcomer. "—came to me with the information that the Vongese are immobilizing a large force—a good part of their whole fleet, actually—headed here, to Contruum. Rumor has it they're coming from a big battle on Mon Calamari, although with the HoloNet down, we can't be sure. Anyway, they are not the only ones who want a piece of the cake. The GA already has a good amount of capital ships in orbit, not to talk about the military base one of Contruum's moons, and intel says more are en route. We suspect they are finally planning to get a strike at Coruscant, and odds are high that they'll be using Contruum as a staging point for their forces. Our dilemma now is that the Mand'alor has called to arms for the liberation of Gyndine, but I don't think I'm alone thinking that we shouldn't expose Contruum to the crab-boys. They'll be here sooner than any GA reinforcements and their fleet will have crushed any resistance by then. If Contruum is in Vong hand, then the GA's whole plan is smashed and the liberation of Coruscant will be even more delayed—and after more than five shabla years of war, nobody wants that." "That's five years we wasted fighting for the wrong side!" someone interjected. It was Gladus speaking, and he looked dead serious. So rumors were true, Macos thought. The Vong paid enough to even get the Mandalorians for their cause. "Look, Gladus, it's not like you're the only one feeling that way," Beviin tried to calm him down. "But it's also not like we had a choice. Or do you think a few hundred warriors, however skilled they might've been, would've made a difference?" "A few hundred warriors? The Mandalore had only to call every single Mandalorian to arms, may it be man, woman or child—we all are trained and ready to fight, once there's a need to—and we would have made a stand!" "And risk extinction, once more? This is not th—" A fist slammed on the table, and everyone's attention was suddenly on Ronan Barec, the Mandalorian with curly black hair and dark sand-colored armor a few seats next to Gladus. "Ne'johaa!" he exclaimed. "Shut up, both of you! It's not like either of you can change what has happened, but right now, we can do something about it! Working together with the crab-boys, as reluctant as that may have been, we got an insight into their strengths and weaknesses like no one else ever would, and when they turned on us and attacked Mandalore, we made our stand! Never before had so few stood against so many, and never before had a world so swiftly, so successfully parried a vongyc invasion. And we still have that advantage, and if we stop arguing about our mistakes in the past, we still can make a difference! Now pull yourselves together and get back at the task at hand!" That call left some impression, and it took a moment's silence and hesitation before both Beviin and Gladus leaned back, but latter not without shooting a grim glance over at Barec, a glance that bore an inscrutable and utmost personal emotion. Macos couldn't imagine why there was a rivalry between those two Mandalorians, but he wasn't exactly keen on finding out, either. "Alright, to come to the point," Beviin carried on after gathering himself, "I must say I'm very thankful and glad that yet so many of you have made it here, but now it's up to you what you want to do. I am going to Gyndine because the Mand'alor needs me there, and anybody who wants to accompany me is free to do so—but you can also stay here on Contruum and help in the defense of the planet. It'll take the Vongese at least another 72 hours to get here, if Karr's information is valid, so you should have plenty of time for preparation. To all who are going to Gyndine: takeoff is in three hours. And for now, haili cetare, vode, oya!" With that, Beviin lifted his mug in the usual gesture for a toast, and after everybody followed his example and called out "Oya! Oya, manda!", he stood up and left the room. Something told Macos that this announcement was a lot shorter than it would've been without the interruption, and he also wondered why Beviin had completely forgotten to address him. "So, what about me?" he asked into the round. A few Mandalorians were in quiet conversation, and Ara had already stood up, too, and walked to the windows, where her husband, Karr, joined her shortly. Next to Macos was Ram Zerimar, now, and since Stone was also preoccupied, the star sniper answered him. "That's completely up to you, burc'ya. Any additional fighting hand would be a great asset, but you can always just leave us for good. Whatever's up your alley, pal." "So you'd just let me go right away?" Macos asked skeptically. "With all that insight in your plans? Information can be a real aurodium-mine, if sold to the right guys, you know..." Ram just laughed. "You wouldn't dare blackmail us. Besides, who tells you our intel is valid, and that we haven't made this all up to trap whoever you're giving our 'plans'." So that's why the objectives were kept rather brief, Macos thought and sighed deeply but said nothing—he hadn't been completely serious, anyway. "Well, I think I've still got enough time to think about that. So for now, I'm just joining your party." ****** "...joining your party," said the aruetii. Joining our party, of course, Ronan Barec thought. One false move, chakaar, and I can promise you, your head will be exactly one head shorter. He didn't know why he bore such an aversion against the non-Mandalorian, and he reckoned that his suspicion might be totally misplaced. He had known Ara Norvath long enough to know he could trust her judgment, but that didn't mean that he could completely trust this Macos Fenix. After all he had experienced in the last few months, Ronan knew well enough to be mindful of any possible threat and to be prepared for everything. Ret'lini. Just in case. He took one last mouthful from the mug he had contemplatively been holding in both hands, then sat it on the table and put his helmet on. After that he stood up and walked out of the room. Even before the beginning of this meeting on, Ronan had known that he would not go to Gyndine, and now he knew he needed another talk to Beviin. About the newcomers. About the operations. And about the things Beviin had not addressed in the gathering. Yuuzhan Vong warship Undying Agony, darkspace Yuuzhan Vong subaltern Tzekon Lian hurried to the villip chamber. There was a call for him incoming he had been anxiously waiting for. After entering through the organic membrane that contracted to let him through, Lian was immediately forwarded to his villip by a communications officer. But the subaltern simply ignored him—he didn't need that inferior creature to show him the way; actually, he didn't need him at all, so he ordered him out of the chamber. He needed to be alone. With disgust spreading everywhere in his body, he looked at the villip that had already converted to the shape of his contact's head—a human male's head. An infidel's head, he thought nauseatedly. "You should pray it is good news you are bringing," said Lian to the man, with a tone that allowed no mistaking. "Oh, it is good news," the other said confidently. Maybe too confident, Lian thought. "A few Mandalorians are staying on Contruum, awaiting your attack." "That was expected, but there is nothing new about that information!" "This was only the beginning. The majority of the Mandalorians is heading to Gyndine, in a foolish attempt to conquer it. With only a few reinforcements to your fleet there, you can—" "It is up to ME," Lian shouted at the infidel, "what I do with this information! We will crush them, and you will get your payment as usual. Now get out of my sight!" With that, the villip shifted back its usual shape, and Tzekon Lian left the chamber, with a satisfied feeling having replaced the disgust. Good news, indeed, he thought. Those abominations among abominations called 'Mandalorians' will soon be no more.

	So the Mandalorians were allied with the Yuuzhan Vong before? Very interesting...not surprised that the invasion of Mandalore didn't work out so well, though. I like seeing Ronan Barec back again.

	Oh, this one's not split up. For the record, it's very hard for me to see Fenix as not a Mandalorian, considering the Marcus Fenix of Gears of War fame... Always ready for action, they are, Fenix thought. I wouldn't want to run across one of those lads in the wrong alley at the wrong time... Sin City reference? No, it doesn't remind me of a scarhead's armor, he thought. It kriffing looks exactly like one! A Vong disguise. Me smells some Splinter Cell mayhem to occur... The spokesman was interrupted as the door suddenly slid open and a helmeted Mandalorian in a rust-colored armor that looked completely unscarred and new walked in. omg t3h n3wb!!!!111! And he's married to a tough Mando lady. Wonder what that's like in the bedroom. Don't tell me you where thinking that we actually get paid for doing this—whatever this is, anyway."* A highly valid point. Can't shake the funny mental of a typical farmer being a Mandalorian as a hobby. Sareth, had also found a seat on the other side of the table. He searched eye-contact with Ara, but she tried to avoid it. Bitch. Never before had so few stood against so many, Heh. So now Fenix is gonna be a Mando. Sounds like fun. -----signature----- I have defied gods and demons. I am your shield. I am your sword. I know you. Your past; your future. This is the way the world ends. Oly Oly Oxen Free - 2007

Well, I think you got this wrong. While it imitates a Vong armor, it's not a disguise - it still looks distinctively enough non-organic, at least for a Vong eye. Altair forged this armor (yeah, he's our armor-smith) to enrage any Yuuzhan Vong they run across, because the scarheads think of something like that as the highest form of blasphemy. I think you'll get what I mean to say once they do run across some scarheads.

Only that the Mandos smashed the Vong... Darth_Garak posted: So what are Ara's kids doing while she and her husband our out fighting di'kutla vong? I suppose you'll find out soon enough.

	Great update! "It's not as easy as that," Ara said. "There's a lot to Mandalorian... civilization... that is difficult for aruetiise like you—outsiders, non-Mandalorians—to understand. It's hard to explain, so if you really want to know what being a Mando'ad is all about, if you really want to understand our culture, then it's best you become a Mandalorian." "Hmm... you already told me that you don't need to be born as a Mandalorian to be one, but me and becoming a Mandalorian? Sure, a perky temptation, but I'll definitely need a few nights taking counsel with my pillow on that one. Anyway, seems like that Beviin's done with your husband—I'm starting getting edgy about what's my role in all of this." Loved that particular exchange. -----signature----- If you have to choose between tears and laughter, remember that laughter burns more calories. Proud New Army Mom - off to bootcamp!

	VaderLVR64 posted: Great update! Vor entye, Vad'ika. VaderLVR64 posted: Loved that particular exchange. Thanks again. I'm glad you liked it. As for the next chapter... sorry, everyone, it's been quite a while, but there are two reasons for the delay: firstly, there would be that fact that I'm stuck in writer's block and lacking inspiration, secondly, unlike in my other fics, the chapters are far longer... from a former average of 1,500 to at least 3,000. That's why I've already nearly half of Honor Guard , and that with not even two chapters (as opposed to about six or seven in HG). :P Anyway, I hope I'll be able to get to it this weekend. -----signature----- The other side of the NJO, featuring Mandalorians, Vong, and Peace Brigaders in a thrillride full of betrayal and intrigue...

	Ouch. Two month without any new stuff... I'm so sorry, everyone! I could list all kinds of reasons, now... got a new PC in December, thus I was busy installing it, making everything run, and, of course, exploit the new power in some new games... then there was school and DRL, vacation, and and and....^^ Nevertheless, I should've posted something. Already end of November I had a good part of Chapter II finished, but I thought it wasn't enough so I forgot to post it. You will get to read at least this part this weekend, and I really hope to get the remainder of Chapter II, too. No promises, tho... And thanks for posting, VII. Good to see you back, and glad you like it! Do you wanna be on the PM list? (not that there's much to PM, ahem...^^) -----signature----- The other side of the NJO, featuring Mandalorians, Vong, and Peace Brigaders in a thrillride full of betrayal and intrigue...
