The Arrival

Chapter 20

Sharia and the other elders stood there in complete horror. " The force! He used the b.l.o.o.d.y Force! " One elder screamed. Sharia could not believe what had just happened. Didn"t the Jedi they brought with them to the planet say that they could not sense the force on any of the creatures.

Her mind was raceing,she did remember that strange report she had gotten from the Mandalorian who had been training them. She now regrets blowing it off as a coincidence at the time. "It seems like we have under estimated the people of this planet...and we may pay the price for it today." Sharia turned to speak to the other elders she had to calm them down before there was a blood bath on the room. They couldn"t have more bodies thrown to the ground like this.

Jack could sense the fear of the man before he had killed him it disgusted him. How could a so called Mandalorian feel such fear in the face of death. It was at this point he knew the Mandalorians who had taken over this planet where weak. Sure they had them technology beat but that was it.

They overly played the warrior part atlest most of them did. At this point he could tell at the commander"s of the Mandalorian forces where all real warriors, but it would probably just be them. The planet had been tricked by a bunch of scare crows,and it sickens Jack to think they had let it continue for the last 6 months.

Pushing these thoughts to the back of his mind Jack made is way off the landing platform and inside of the building followed by his followers along with Shim and Anakin. He thought that the remaining elders would try and stop him. However they parted and made way for him and his group into the building.

Just before Jack had entered he spotted Sharia in the crowd. "Sharia has the dueling chamber been prepared?" It took a moment for her to realize that Jack had spoken to her. "It has Jack First floor you can not miss it." Jack nodded then return to the front of his procession.

After the group was gone the elders that had been left behind where in a complete up roar."How did this happen?!" "We have made a grave mistake!" "They will take revenge for everything we have done to them!" Voices mixed with desperation and despair, and for the first time in her life Sharia as she watch this display. Became displeased with being a Mandalorian. If the elders and guides of their society where acting like this she could only imagine the damage their progeny had done to the people of this world.

Without saying a world she and her staff entered the build. When they were only she gave them orders to begin building profiles on all the elders on the roof and on every elder from the other clans. With that one display on the roof she knew there was no one who could challenge Jack and live. He was going to become the leader of both their peoples. The only thing she could do know is point out the people who would create trouble for his rule. As well as await the punishment she was going to receive. Since she could not escape it she hoped to lessen it even if it was only by a few degrees.


By then end of the day the news had broken that a challenger for the t.i.tle of Mand"lor would be waiting on the first floor of the Darkhide clan, and any clan member who would oppose his rule could challenge him in the next week to single combat to the death.

It did not take long before a lined had formed to enter the building. Not all in the line had come to challenge the would be Mand"lor. Many had just come to lay eyes on the man, however a large few had come to fight him as well. Those people meet a swift death as none of the first 15 challengers had made it 10 feet to Jack before they had their necks crushed with the force.

It had not been until challenger number 35 that Jack had decided to allow the person a semblence of a chance. So for the next 20 minutes Jack dodge blaster bolts by razor thin margins. Gracefully moving just a hairs breath from death. For everyone it was an impossible feat but for the Demon Dogs this had just been a Monday morning training warmup. After the 20 minutes Jack grew bored of the woman he had been fight. In what would seem like a flash of light Jack appear infornt of the woman and shot her across the room with the force.

The woman just watch wided eye as she say this man appear in front of her face. The next moment she felt her body lift off the ground and take off like a pod racer toward the back wall. She had blacked out before she hit the wall fully believing she was going to die. However Jack had been giving mercy at let"s to the people who he could feel did not show a fear of death.

Just before the woman would impact the wall and die Jack slowed her body down just enough so she would not die. He would not kill off good warriors but it did not mean he would not make them suffer. By the end of the day Jack had fought over 100 challengers, but as a result of the 100 straight wins no one in the clan area had any thoughts of fighting him any longer.

Jack had won the respect and fear of the members of clan Darkhide and for the rest of the night he had no one to fight. It was not until the next morning that the challenges would begin again. 7 Clan elders each with two champions each had arrived to fight the would be Mand"lor. Jack and the others had never left the dueling chamber and had just been sitting their when the clans had arrived.

Jack said nothing as the clan arranged themselves in front of him. After about 10 minutes one of the elders of the group stepped forward. "I am an elder of clan Chillhide on the continent you know as Europe. We are.." Jack was not having any of it."Cut the bull I do not care where you are from or who you represent after this week their will not be seven clans only one. My clan. So let"s just get this over with, oh and you all can come at me all at once but would atlest give you a fighting chance."

The elder was glowing red from anger he never felt so humiliated in his entire life."Fine if that"s how it"s going to be." At this moment all 14 of the clans champions rose to face against Jack alone. For the first time since the challenges had begun the day before Jack unfasten the lightsabers that had been on his belt. They had been behind his back so no one had suspected that he had such weapons. Staring the 14 down Jack ignited his Black blades and begun circling the group of attackers.

The groups inched closer and closer to each other. Then without warning Jack leaped into the crow of people and began his attack. Even though he was surrounded 14 to one for a force user like Jack this had been a cake walk. While he had been the the air jumping to the crow of warriors he gather the force around him. The moment he hit the ground the force shot out in all directions blowing many of the attackers in to the walls around them

Dazed and confused by the situation Jack mopped up any who had been unlucky enough to stay conscious. Force checking and force pushing had become his go to moves at the moment. That is until one of the remaining attackers pulled out a vilorblade. Taking advantage of when Jack had be facing away from him the attacker struck at Jack from below. Unfortunately with the force on Jack"s side he sense the attack before it happened.

With one swift motion Jack deflected the blow and did a spin arc swing attack cutting the man in half. It had been the first death of the challengers. So far Jack had been sparing many of them as he could feel they ment him no ill will. They had just been following orders but this man had attacked Jack with the intent to kill him. So Death had been appropriate, after 5 mins the attackers had been dealt with. Jack return to the middle of the room and sat down.

The clan elders said nothing, I mean what could they say the results were right in front of them. He beat their best in 5 minutes. At this point the new the week time line was not for the challengers it was for the new Mand"lor to judge each clan elder to find the ones he was going to keep around. As it stood there was no one who could beat him in a challenge like this on the planet so it was a given that he would lead them. He was the New Mand"lor.
