This is my super gay Star Wars fanfiction..enjoy:)

Our story begins as Mando infiltrates the base to find his bounty. 

Third Person POV:

(Also, even though this is third person right now, the italics are going to be Mando's thoughts, but if it is in dialogue, it's just being emphasized, does that make sense?"

Mando held out his spyglass and surveyed the base. There were hunters everywhere, casually strutting around the dirt. Suddenly they all turned to something walking towards them. Mando zoomed in. 

"Oh no.." he sighed, setting the spyglass down. "Bounty droid."

Mando watched from above as the droid shot at all of the Nikto, scattering some and hitting many. Two ran inside the fortress and closed the giant steel doors. 

Unimpressed with the quick and reckless turn of events, Mando rolled his eyes under the helmet. "Droids."

The Mandalorian hopped down from his rocky perch and snuck towards the IG unit, who continued to repeat the protocol for the Guild's bounties. 

"IG unit, stand do-" Mando tried to yell to the droid, but was cut off by a shot to his beskar plate, which sent him flying backwards. Groaning, Mando held up a medal. "I'm in the Guild!"

"I thought that I was the only one on this assignment." The tall droid replied in a monotone voice. 

"Yeah," Mando pushed himself up and walked over behind a stone pillar. "That makes two of us." 

"So much for the element of surprise.." Mando sneered at the droid, not with his face, but with his voice. If the droid noticed, it gave no attention to it. 

"Sadly, I must ask for your fob. I have already issued a writ of seizure. The bounty is mine." The droid said, standing in the middle of the dusty base. 

Yeah, yeah, the bounty is mine my ass, Mando thought, rolling his eyes for the second time in the past ten minutes. 

"Unless I am mistaken, you are, as of yet, empty-handed." The Mandalorian shot back.

"This is true." 

Damn right it is. "I have a suggestion."

"Proceed."

"We split the reward," Mando said, holding onto the edge of the pillar. 

"This...is acceptable.." The droid replied. 

"Great, now let's regroup, out of harm's way, and form a plan." The Mandalorian said, gesturing for the droid to come over behind the shelter of the stone. 

Just get your skinny metal ass over here. 

The droid was apparently not yet finished with his request. "I will, of course, receive the reputation merits, associated with the mission."

Uh-no. "Can we talk about this later?"

The IG unit stood there, it's long arms dangling beside him. "I require an answer if I am to procee-" The droid was cut off as one of the Nikto shot at his shoulder from above the encampment. 

Stupid droid. Mando pulled out his blaster and shot the elevated Nikto, who fell off of the roof screaming. Suddenly, many more ran out of the steel doors and into the courtyard of the base, screaming and firing their blasters at the bounty hunter and the droid. 

Oh shit.

Both Mando and IG shot at the Nikto, who were returning heavy fire from behind their crates and rocks they were hiding behind. 

"Let's go!" Mando growled to the droid, who was rotating 360 degrees and shooting all the while. 

The pair shuffled alongside each other, shooting the Nikto with their blasters, and covering the other. They made it to a stack of boxes that they both hid behind, Mando crouching and IG folding his legs underneath him. Mando pulled out his fob, and found the signal coming from behind two thick steel doors right behind him. 

"He's in there!" The IG unit turned to look towards the doors and continued shooting while the Mandalorian took cover from the fire. 

"Affirmative."

The IG unit stood and walked towards the middle of the base, shooting down Nikto left and right. 

What the hell are yo-. You know what..it doesn't matter.

The IG and Mando fell in line with each other and got behind two stone pillars, right in front of the door that they were trying to enter, but the Nikto continued to fire at them. 

Suddenly, the Nikto became more quiet, and they stopped shooting, but surrounded the two instead. "It appears we are trapped. I will initiate self destruct." A bomb popped out of the IG's chest. 

"WoAH, you're WhAt??" The Mandalorian's eyes were wide with shock. 

"Manufacturers Protocol dictates I cannot be captured." The IG unit replied in the monotone voice. "I must self destruct."

Oh hell no-. "Do not self destruct." Mando yelled. "Cover me!" 

Mando ran towards the side that the IG was on. The bounty droid stood in front of him, covering the blaster fire that was aimed towards the man in metal, and shooting back at the angry Nikto. Mando reached the keypad, and started to take it apart, pulling wires out and pushing some together, trying anything to open the thick steel doors. When the fire got heavier, Mando and IG rushed over to the same pillar. 

"There's too many." Mando said, out of breath. "They got us pinned." 

The Nikto started pushing some sort of giant blaster cannon towards the two bounty hunters, and the Nikto began to laugh. Neither the droid or Mando saw this, only thinking that the Nikto were toying with them. 

"I will initiate self destruct." The IG unit said again. 

I swear to T'Challa. "DO NOT SELF DESTRUCT! We're shooting our way out." Mando yelled over the rumbling of the cannon, which they did not know was  a cannon. 

The two hunters came out from behind the pillar, blasters raised. The cannon was pointed directly at them, and Mando froze, a small frown on his hidden face. 

"Oohkay.." 

Holy fuck that's a big gun. "NEW PLAN!" 

The Nikto continued to fire the cannon at their pillar, slowly crumbling and breaking the stone structure. "Beginning self destruct countdown." IG said again. 

"nO StOP It" Mando hissed, as if he were scolding a young child for taking another piece of candy. 

"Draw their fire I'll take it out!" Mando yelled. 

"Acceptable." Damn straight it is metal monkey. 

"GO!"

The IG unit shot back at the Nikto, and Mando shot a grappling hook at the blaster cannon, and pulled it towards him, hitting the Nikto controlling it. Mando hopped onto it, and started firing at all of the Nikto around the base, each one dropping faster than the first. 

The Mandalorian hopped off, catching his breathe, and put his fists on his hips, proudly glancing at all of the dead bodies around the base. Look at that :). 

(I had to add soft and adorable Mando, don't judge me)

"Well done." IG gave a dry compliment from the wall that he was crumpled against. Mando guessed that he had gotten shot somewhere important in all of the fighting. "I will disengage self destruct initiative." 

Mando walked over, and helped the droid up. "You know, you're not so bad.....for a droid."

"Agreed." 

"That blaster hit looks nasty, you okay?" Dammit don't be soft don't be soft don't be soft."

"Running a quick diagnostic." The IG unit whirred. "It has missed my central wiring harness."

What the hell does that mean? "Is that good?"

"Yes."

"Well, now we just need to get the door open," Mando sighed, looking back towards the doors. Oh wait, there's a noice looking cannon right thar.....

pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew 

The bounty droid kicked down the broken door, and marched in. In step with the IG, Mando walked into the bunker, just as a stray Nikto jumped out from behind a wall. The Mandalorian whipped out his blaster and shot the other quickly. Mando pulled out his fob, which was beeping rapidly.

The signal seemed to be coming a pile of nets and barrels and a floating pod. 

Mando and the IG walked closer, slowly. 

Mando held out his fob, as the alerts became a one solid beep, all blending together. 

He pressed a button on the fob, glancing back at the IG. It popped open, and dust floated off of it. 

The hunters looked down into the pod, and underneath his helmet, Mando's eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes widened in confusion--or was it shock?

"Wait," the warrior breathed, looking back to the droid. "They said fifty years old."

Mando's head turned sideways. The IG spoke this time. "Some species age differently. Perhaps it could live many centuries."

The small creature pulled down the brown blanket covering it's head, with three, greenish pink fingers. It's large black and brown doe eyes blinked up at the Mandalorian, and something inside of the metal-clad man spasmed. Was it his stomach? His heart? 

The warrior wasn't sure, but he knew that this, this thing-this child, was important. For what, he had no clue. 

"Sadly, we'll never know." The IG finished, raising it's long arm which held a blaster. 

"No," Mando said abruptly, stopping the droid's arm. "We'll bring it in alive." 

"The commission was quite specific. The asset was to be terminated." The droid fought back, as the small creature in the pod looked between the two figures, blinking and weakly squeezing his rough blanket. 

The IG raised it's arm again. A blaster went off, the spark reflecting on Mando's helmet. 

The IG fell to the ground. 

The Mandalorian holstered his blaster. 

He held out, hesitantly, one gloved finger, to the small creature in the pod. The tiny being stretched a hand up to the warrior, and gently squeezed the end. 

Behind the helmet, for the first time in years, the Mandalorian smiled. 

What did you breadsticks think about this chapter? I'm so sorry for making y'all wait this long, but I just didn't have any motivation OR time to do it. It's the weekend now so I was able to finish typing and editing the chapter, and I will start working on the next chapter right now. 

I also decided that I would have a word count at the end of each chapter, so here's todays: 1,535 words 

(This is only the actual story, not the notes)

10/23/20

Would you breadsticks mind if I put a question at the end of every chapter? I'd like to learn a bit more about my readers.....or I can put a random fact about me at the end? 

Please comment, vote, share, and have a great day/night/apocalypse!
