"If he did, I hope they didn't wear their armor." Turning down a side hall, I head down it with the utmost speed as I pull out my comlink and contact Becca. "If Naberrie shows up, don't let her leave."

"Now I didn't say that. In the long run, you might have just saved your army some serious trouble later down the road. But his mentioning Xanthippe..." My eyes darken at the thought. "With your leave, I have a witch to deal with."

I follow after Ava and once we were in the halls and the door behind us closed, I catch up with her. "Manda'lor, while it's just us, I feel you should know that there was some truth to his words back there."

Zar'kun Je'and

I sigh as Zarka falls and open my eyes. The deed had been done, but something about this still didn't feel right. "That was...decisive."

I remained nearby, but my eyes were closed as I used the Force to focus in on Zarka Saxon's words. Under normal circumstances, I was sure she would have gunned the seemingly rebellious clan chief down, but it would seem even she doubted his guilt enough to withhold immediate Mandalorian Justice.

Jerus Je'and

"Your father's in no condition to go anywhere, Cosen, you saw that yourself. As for you and your mother, well, you want to leave then go, but I don't think either of us can speak for Vette. Just give me a second." Opening my com channel, I contact Temari. "Teacher?"

Temari Ordo

I stand over the corpse of one of the younger members of Clan Saxon, Vette behind me as she didn't bring any combat armor. I had been wearing mine since the day before and was running on two hours of rest and a lot of caffeine, as repairs had needed to be gotten underway quickly and I'd stayed up celebrating later than I should have. When Jerus comes through, I set it to speaker. "Go ahead Jerus."

Jerus Je'and

"Is Vette with you? Safe?" I switch to speaker so Cosen can hear as well.

Temari Ordo

"Safe and unharmed, despite the Saxon youth's best efforts. Zarka has crossed a line."

Jerus Je'and

I slowly approach Cosen, my hands still out in front of me and don't immediately respond to Hunter. "Easy, Cosen. No one's going to hurt you. Just put the lightsaber away."

Talion Wren

"It's a shame it's even came to this." Standing the Saxon back up, I look at Jerus trying to defuse the situation. However, given that Gida had attacked Gavin while his back was turned like a coward, I couldn't say I blamed her for her reaction.

Jerus Je'and

I land next to Hunter with my hands up, the sniper rifle on my back. "Easy, Cosen! This wasn't all of the Mandalorians, just Clan Saxon! None of us knew this was going to happen."

Zar'kun Je'and

As we approach the center, I pull my sabers off my belt. "You'll know as soon as you go to deal with Zarka. So we'll know soon enough."

Talion Wren

I sit the young Saxon down and secure his wrists with binders while Kamari and Jerus deal with the Sith girl. Couldn't afford for all of us to get distracted from the prisoner.

Talion Wren

"On your feet, traitor." Hauling the one I'd tackled to his feet, I walk him to where Kamari was. "One survivor, ready for interrogation."

Zar'kun Je'and

I nod in understanding. "I will remain uninvolved until absolutely necessary then. You expect much of a fight?"

Zar'kun Je'and

Joining Ava, I head out towards where we last knew Zarka was. "Strange. I thought your people's customs required he face you in one on one combat."

Jerus Je'and

Even from my elevated perch as I provided cover fire for the other clans engaging Clan Saxon's men, I could see something was off about them. There was a hesitation as they turned their blasters on their fellows. "Hunter, something's off. The Saxons are hesitating when they go to engage the other clans, some are even retreating."

Talion Wren

Jetting after one of the Saxon men, I tackle him, slamming his helmeted head into the ground. "Stay right there, traitor." The man struggles, trying to throw me off.

"What are you doing?! You're supposed to be helping!"

"Manda'lor never ordered this! Your clan chief is a aruetii and a kyramud. And your clan will be disgraced for it." He struggles for a couple more seconds before stopping and accepting defeat.

"No..."
