“Boba Fett”

Starkiller had heard little of the famed bounty hunter. He was supposedly the best there was and he certainly looked like it. But right now he had other concerns.

“We shall leave at once for Haruun Kal, master”

“Good…good. Now go”

Starkiller followed Boba Fett to his ship the Slave 1. Fett didn’t say a word. He was far too busy thinking about his father and the Jedi that had killed him.

“Soon father. He thought to himself. Soon.”

The Slave 1 headed to Haruun Kal. Starkiller strapped on the lightsabers of those he had killed while Fett put on his father’s armor. It was silver and blue, as opposed to Fett’s Green and gray. It offered better protection and from what Starkiller could tell, had wrist-mounted blades.

“Let’s go”

Mace Windu was meditating in his parent’s old hut. He had no prosthetic hand to replace the one he had lost. Only a metal cap. His lightsaber had become beaten up and dirty after it’s fall, and Mace hadn’t used it in years. Then he opened his eyes. A dark presence was coming his way fast.

Mace grabbed his lightaber and readied himself. Suddenly, he leaped out of the hut, and just in time too, as it was blown up by a rocket. Mace landed on the ground, turned around, and activated his purple lightsaber. Through the smoke, Starkiller appeared. Mace recognized the lightsabers on his belt. They belonged to Shaak Ti and Quinlan Vos. Mace had already sensed the 2 Jedi’s passing into the force. Now he was face-to-face with their killer.

Then an armored figure flew in. Mace recognized the armor instantly. It was the armor worn by the bounty hunter he had killed on Geonosis years ago. Starkiller, seeing that Mace was distracted, drew his old lightsaber and his new one and sprinted toward Mace. Mace saw him coming and pushed him backwards. Fett opened fire and Mace leapt to one side. The open plain was an ideal place for a fight.

Mace allowed vaapad to flow through him and assumed a fighting stance. Starkiller charged toward him spinning both of his lightsabers around and around. Starkiller met Mace’s lightsaber with a blinding flash. Fett held back. He was going to let Starkiller distract Mace sufficiently so he could shoot the old man in the back and save himself a lot of trouble.

Starkiller made a thrust at Mace’s head and Mace swatted Starkiller’s red lightsaber aside with his purple one. Starkiller made an upward thrust with his blue lightsaber which was swatted aside as well. Mace then blasted Starkiller back with a force push, the push knocked the lightsabers out of Starkiller’s hands. Starkiller took out Shaak Ti’s and sprinted back towards Mace.

“Fett! A little help please!?”

Fett smirked underneath his helmet and fired a ripcord at Mace Windu’s legs, tripping him up. Starkiller took his chance. He leaped over Mace Windu, spun around and swung at his head. Mace threw up his handless arm in a desperate attempt at defense. Starkiller wound up cutting Mace’s hand cap off.

Mace turned around to meet Starkiller. The 2 clashed lightsabers. After 2 seconds, the lock was broken and Mace performed a backward roll, kicking Boba just as he was about to shoot him. Mace cut the cord binding his legs and stood back up.

Starkiller called back his fallen lightsabers and charged toward Mace but was suddenly knocked to one side by a strong gust of wind. Mace had blasted him away again. Starkiller was beginning to lose his temper. He activated his red lightsaber and sped toward Mace.

Meanwhile, Fett saw his opening and shot at Windu’s shoulder. Windu deflected the attack and Fett flew backwards on his Jetpack to cover some distance but Mace gripped him with the force and hurled him at Starkiller. Starkiller leaped over the bounty hunter and sped toward Windu. This time, he had a surprise. He took out a Lightsaber-tonfa, the one that had originally belonged to Maris Brood, spun around, and met Mace’s ligthsaber head-on. But then, he spun around again, slashing at Mace’s stomach with the lightsaber-tonfa. As Mace collapsed, Starkiller raised his lightsaber above his head, prepared to finish the Jedi.

“NO!!” shouted Fett

“He’s mine to kill, not yours!”

Starkiller ignored him.

Mace looked up. Starkiller was hesitating. Not something servants of the dark side did. Mace sensed much conflict in him. He hadn’t chosen this life.

“Don’t do it kid.”

Starkiller hesitated

“It’s too late for me”

But before he come around to finishing him, Fett stabbed him in the back, literally. Shoving Starkiller aside, Fett shot right Mace right between the eyes without a moment’s hesitation. Starkiller responded by blasting Fett with force lightning. Using everything he had, Starkiller sent Fett flying backwards. The 2 then stumbled to their feet.

“Some day Fett” said Starkiller “But not today”

Fett nodded. He got up, and as a final insult to the fallen Jedi master, cremated him with his flamethrower. Fett then walked away without a word. Back on Coruscant, Starkiller handed Palpatine Mace Windu’s lightsaber.

“Excellent. You have done well, my assassin”

“Thank you…my master”
