Here, Then Gone

 

* * * * *"Jase, take my pistols and get these watchers off my back while I get us out of here" Salia said shouting over the humming speeders. Jasuum didn't have to be told twice as he grabbed the blasters and started firing. he wished he had more practice with the pistols then with the Cycler rifle, of course nothing could prepare him for blasting at three speeders while riding one one, in a canyon, going 350 km/h. he was starting to get a hang of this when one crack shot of pure luck grazed the speeder's fuel cell causing it to leak. "Shab!" Jasuum exclaimed barely audible over the speeders. "What's going on back there" Salia yelled "we got grazed on the fuel cell we might go up if we get hit again" Jasuum said in response. To focus on blasting their tails Jasuum didn't catch the next thing his mother said. finally he nailed one of the trailing speeder's front vents, sending it crashing into a ball of fire crashing into the side of the cliff.

 

* * * * Salia swerved the speeder around a tight bend sending another Watcher bike into the cliff and up in flames, and almost forcing Jasuum out of his seat. Now there was only one left and Jase wasn't having any luck shooting him or the bike, this one knew how to keep his distance and still be a problem, this and they were leaking fuel it was not a situation to be in. That got him wondering how the Watchers knew they were coming this way, the only possible explanation was if the Watchers were covering every way out of the valley heading to the settlements. There was a lot of blaster fire coming from the last Watcher. Jasuum jerked his head when a blaster shot went whizzing past his head going toward the enemy speeder. There was another shooter in front of them taking aim for a second shot when Salia yelled "get down!" This time the shot just missed the leaking fuel cell. they knew the next wouldn't miss. Salia grabbed one of her guns from Jase's hand. She said to him "I love you son, be a strong and true mando'ade". She then threw him off the speeder, and the sniper shot his final round and it blew up the speeder with a loud and big explosion causing the speeder behind her to be consumed in the fiery explosion.

 

* * * * Jasuum got up all covered in dust and bruises and saw the terrible carnage that consumed his mother. He didn't have time to weep when he heard whooping sounds that belonged to Tuskin Raiders. Knowing they would be coming to the devastated site he had to move and there was also the sniper to worry about that was hiding somewhere in the area. he quickly ran to a burning pile and grabbed a small pouch of credits that were warm and charred a little bit but otherwise fine, then took off running in some direction to the east knowing he'd have to dodge the sniper and sand people and then cut north towards Boonta Eve. Jasuum didn't know what to do now he could still get help but the authorities would probably think he was a stray or a pickpocket so he couldn't get help. or he could go back to the farm and try to find his father but the Watchers might be patrolling the area and they would most likely shoot him on-sight, so the best thing to do was get to Boonta Eve and wait a couple days for his father and then try to make his way off Tatooine because there would be nothing for him if his father didn't survive. But first he had to get out of these maze like canyons and gulches.

* * * * The Sith got up very weary after the explosion and saw the Mandalorians standing over his last Trooper that was with him. He looked for his lightsaber that was gone. He knew it wasn't worth staying here so he conjured as much force as he could and pushed the two mandos to the ground and ran off towards his speeder. He looked at his wrist holo communicator and saw it flashing, which meant reinforcements were here. Callus flew back unexpectedly and slammed into the ground with a thump. He got up as quick as he could when he saw the Sith running for his speeder. Callus shot his wrist grapple at the sith who was unarmed then fired his blaster at him hoping to end the fight right here, until the Sith forced the shot in a different direction. A troop transport landed on the top of the cliff saving the Sith for a couple more seconds. Then one man walked out in the dim light of the ship and fired a missile at Callus, exploding with impact on his chest sending his flying backwards until he slammed into a large boulder till he lay motionless at the foot of the stone. Then a second missile came shooting at Kalub, he quickly dodged the projectile and recognized the familiar shape of Beskar'gam in the dim light.

 

* * * * The Sith freed himself from the broken whipcord and searched effortlessly for his lightsaber. The Sith grabbed it and ignited it charging at the mandalorian. Kalub couldn't react fast enough for the sith who slashed at his back which crippled him then the sith sent his saber through Kalub's chest sending him to the Manda. Callus looked up weak and weary seeing his friend's body void of life laying on the ground tens of meters away from him and another mandalorian standing above him.
