                                                      -GUNSHIP OVER GEONOSIS, EN ROUTE TO SEPARATIST COMMAND SPIRE-


"Advisor, I'm almost in position. Where's Sigma?" said Seth Aurek-Tay.

"Well sir, they got a little held up for their own reasons, but I can assure you (if they don't kill each other first...) that they'll be right on time sir!" said Advisor a bit nervously.

"What was that one part? It was a little muffled."

"Oh, nothing sir, just some feedback. Good luck! Advisor out."

"Sigh...I feel like I'm in for a real clusterkriff this time..." said Seth to himself.

The gunship hurdled toward the spire with a purpose. It met resistance, but Seth told the pilot to push on at all costs.

"Sir, we're coming in hot! I suggest you make ready for a speedy insertion!" said the pilot.

"Alright! Open doors!" said Seth.

"Doors opening sir!"

The gunship cruised past the spire hangar and Seth threw himself out of the cabin and freefell about twenty feet before firing up his jetpack.

"Ret'urcye mhi commander!" hollered the pilot.

"So long! Gar shuk meh kyrayc ner vod!" yelled Seth back, on his way out of the cabin.

Seth landed on one knee in the hangar to witness a lone commando parrying the lightsaber attacks of a Sith, merely playing with his prey at this point. The other three were in need of a revive. Desperately.

The Sith sensed the presence of the Mandalorian entering the room.

"Ah, finally. A warrior perhaps more worthy of my skills. Tell me, have you come to die alongside these dogs you call soldiers?" said the Sith.

"I wouldn't sound so confident separatist scum. I'm more than meets the eye." said Seth.

"I thought Mando'ade like yourself fought for us. Am I mistaken?"

"No. I was raised alongside these clones though. I stand with my brethren, not your ideals. Now, shall we get this over with? I have a schedule to keep aruetyc."

"Simply fascinating! I will enjoy this fight!" the Sith chuckled, throwing the last conscious commando into a wall with the Force, leaving him incapacitated with the others.

The two warriors rushed at each other with lightening speed.

 Seth ejected a vibro blade fro his gauntlet and slashed at the Sith, parrying lightsaber swings left and right, ducking and diving. He bore the brunt of a blow occasionally, but his beskar'gam was lightsaber resistant, like many other Mandalorians' armor.

"You've already lasted longer than I anticipated for a thug like yourself. I'm impressed."

"I'm no Thug, aruetyc. I'll show you what I'm made of yet!" yelled Seth, angered by the insult thrown at his people and his honor.

Seth pulled something from his belt that was strangely familiar to the Sith. There were two of whatever he had actually. They were lightsabers. But where had a Mandalorian acquired lightsabers? And not one, but two?

Seth took a new battle stance as the Sith prepared to strike, but suddenly, a gunship slung itself into the hangar in a very unorthodox fashion (to say the least). From the flaming gunship emerged four commandos.

"Sigma, where in the FORCE have you been! For kriff's sake commandos!" said Seth in frustration.

"Sorry sir, we were squabbling a bit over our...um...brother, Shark here. Long story." said the squad leader.

"I'm sure, and I'd love to hear it later if you live, but right now revive those other four commandos and take position!" said Seth.

"We're on it sir!" said three commandos in unison, leaving a fourth to casually climb out of the gunship and survey his surroundings. He paid no mind to Seth, and with a beastly growl, sneered at the Sith from behind his helmet which had the face of an aquatic creature of some sort with many teeth printed on it. He then disappeared in the opposite direction of the others.

"Great, we got a special boy in this squad...just my luck." said Seth, preparing to fight once more.

XD Love that part about the squad not killing each other first. Great hint at their relationship with each other.
