Showdown

This was going to be one of the biggest jobs that I had ever pulled off, I stopped by one of my saferooms in order to pick up some equipment. As I walked into a small apartment in a shitty end of town I pressed by hand against the electronic lock and the door slides open. I head into the bedroom and press a small button on the base of a lamp and a section of the wall slides open to reveal a mannequin with a thick black blast-proof armor with a head wrap and a mask. I quickly pull the gear on and then press another button that causes a case full of weapons to slide out from under the bed. In the case was a pair of vibro-knives, a blaster rifle, and three thermal detonators.

With that I was ready, as I flew on my speeder to where I would find my targets I pulled up their dossiers on my view screen;

Sin Gastar: (3.5 Billion Bounty)

System renowned gambler, hitman for the Kalek mob, known to use a vibrosword.

Makassa Mal: (2.15 Billion Bounty)

Assassin for the Kolla political party, known to use blaster pistols.

K1-C85: (Wanted Alive 1.5 Billion Bounty)

An escaped Military Prototype that had been working as a mercenary in the underworld, known to use a repeater rifle.

Jomallee Koreha: (1 Billion Bounty)

A warlord from a planet on the fringes of space who has been traveling to escape galactic authorities after being dethroned in a coup. Weapon unknown.

This was going to be an absolute cluster fuck, with the five of them in a single room there was no way this was going to be pretty but if I managed to bag them all this would be the biggest payday anyone on the planet had ever seen. Not too much longer I pulled up in front of what appeared to be a regular noodle shop, I parked my speeder and locked it up before heading inside. I sat down at the table on the right nearest to the kitchen and when the waiter approached I spoke: “I’d like the black noodles with extra curry on the side.” He nodded and pressed a button that began to lower my seat down into the ground, moments later the shaft closed up over my head and it lowered me into a small black room with a single door. As I stood up and walked out the door it opened up into a massive dark bar with people all over, it was a shame this place would be covered in gunfire. Not seconds after I sat down at the bar I felt a blaster being pushed into the back of my neck “Makassa Mal I assume?” I said with a smile as I spun around and slashed her across the chest with my vibro-knife knocking her backward as I drew my rifle off of my back. As I did I could hear three other weapons warming up. A moment later several shots flew forth from a repeater rifle and Makassa lay dead on the ground. “Target eliminated one out of four,” said K1-C85 as they spun their rifle to take aim at me but as he did a blade raised to his throat. “Not a chance metal man, this one is mine,” said a massive woman with long brown braids running along with her head. “Sin Gastar accepted new target.” She then received an elbow to the stomach and K1-C85 spun so that his rifle was leveled at her chest and then two of them were in a stalemate. As I began to take aim a monstrous being with huge fangs and tusks coming off of their face jumped over the bar and tackled me to the ground “Kella Norn your mine!” I laughed and pulled the trigger blowing through her chest with ease causing her to collapse onto me for a moment before I rolled her off of me just in time to see Sin Gastar flick her wrist and have K1-C85’s head go flying across the room before she charged at me. Now it was down to just the two of us, I then pulled my knives and as she swung down at me I caught her blades on my own. I smirked, thrusting my blades forwards, knocking her backward. She stumbled back taking a defensive stance, her blade in both of her hands. As she swung for my neck I ducked under the blade and drove my knives right into her ribs, as she collapsed to the ground I smirked and pulled out my communicator “Jobs done, get here and collect the bodies.”
