Bane's twin blasters swiftly fired several red blaster bolts, not aiming at Obi-Wan, but blasting the roof beneath his feet!
The roof collapsed in the explosion, and Obi-Wan fell into the dark alley below, piled high with cargo boxes. Bane's rocket boots spewed exhaust, and he swooped down in pursuit, blaster bolts raining down. The lightsaber spun into an impenetrable defense in Obi-Wan's hand, deflecting the blaster bolts that left scorch marks on the walls—but a grenade quietly bounced behind him.
With a deafening roar, Obi-Wan barely protected himself, but the shockwave still sent him flying three meters, crashing through the roof of a warehouse, and also leaving Bane swaying unsteadily.
Bane's metal bracer shot out a grappling hook, pulling him onto the warehouse roof. When Obi-Wan waved away the dust and leaped out of the broken hole, what awaited him was the dark muzzle of a gun that had been waiting for him. Bane had already laid a deadly trap when he lured his enemy to fall!
Obi-Wan's pupils contracted sharply. The Force pushed out like a tide, directly knocking Bane away. Bane's rocket boots stabilized his body, but the damage was real. His twin blasters didn't stop, precisely shooting blaster bolts at Obi-Wan's landing points, forcing him to slide on the sloping roof. A loose steel plate suddenly collapsed—Bane had already cut the fasteners with his wrist controller!
The moment Obi-Wan lost his footing, the bounty hunter's retractable rope dart shot out from his sleeve like a venomous snake, striking directly at his opponent's ankle. A blue flash, and the rope dart melted, but Obi-Wan's lightsaber was also deflected by inertia, and Bane's gun muzzle was already close to his forehead!
Once again, Bane was hit as if by an invisible giant hammer, flying backward to crash into a nearby stall, scattering fruits and seafood everywhere, and his gun flew out of his hand. The Duro's red eyes flickered as he thought about how to defeat Obi-Wan, but his commlink kept flashing incessantly.
Obi-Wan's left rib was injured at some unknown point, the blaster bolt grazing it with a burning pain. Bane's hat flew far away, and his right arm hung unnaturally—The Force shock had shattered the bones in his right arm. The two gasped for breath at opposite ends of the street, the heavy rain drowning out their voices.
Just as the two were about to continue fighting, suddenly, a robot torn in half was thrown between them. It was Bane's robot butler, Todo 360, making broken sounds, "Sorry, Master, I saw you weren't... replying to my messages, so... I took the liberty of kidnapping the Duchess, but..."
"And then I directly tore it in half," Satine, holding a Westar-35, said at this moment.
"That's right, Master," Todo 360 buried his head in the sand in shame. The current situation was completely unfavorable for Cad Bane; he had to retreat quickly. He pulled out smoke grenades from behind his waist and threw them all out. His rocket boots spewed flames, and he directly grabbed Todo 360 and left, "See you next time, Jedi!"
Watching Cad Bane run away and throw out many smoke grenades, "It's not like I wouldn't let him run, but it's choking, cough, cough. And next time, don't take such risks," Obi-Wan said, coughing. Satine quickly helped Obi-Wan back to the ship, had the medical droid on board treat him, and also had the crew return directly to Sundari. Her people were still waiting for her.
Meanwhile, on Sundari, Kot was communicating with Jango Fett, discussing how to deal with the Death Watch.
"The Death Watch in the Kyber System suddenly mobilized personnel from various places. Reliable intelligence indicates they are attacking the capital. So, after they leave, the true Mandalore will directly raid all remaining strongholds and planets in the Kyber System," Jango Fett brought the general direction of the follow-up.
"This is consistent with the information we received, but there's no need for a total massacre, Mr. Jango. They are all our compatriots; prioritize their surrender. We will do our best to resist these people, but you need to be quick on your end. At that time, we will directly annihilate the Death Watch on Mandalore, and then you will be a mercenary, and I will be a local governor."
"That is inevitable. We will arrive as soon as possible," Jango Fett then ended the communication.
Kot returned to his room and communicated with his adjutant, "How is it, Adjutant? Is Vadiel doing well?"
"Everything is as usual, Commander. And the people who arrived at Vadiel have already started reclaiming wasteland. I will also use some production lines to build agricultural machinery. Also, mining operations are as usual, but we have detected many high-energy reactions in the underground ruins. We cannot enter, so we don't know exactly what they are. Also, we have modified the blueprint for the viking fighter to make it more suitable for the current weapon System of this Galaxy. Construction will be relatively slow, and modifications for other blueprints are already underway simultaneously. It will take about one to three years to complete all of them, so currently, we will only produce viking fighters and some land weapons," the adjutant reported on Vadiel and the current situation one by one.
"Very good, Adjutant. After the war is complete, I will return to Vadiel to explore the ruins. Just develop according to your plan. Also, various asteroids outside Vadiel can be mined by us. Once resources are sufficient, you can also build asteroid mining bases," Kot said, delivering good news. At the very least, there was no longer a fear of insufficient current minerals and fuel gases.
After arranging Vadiel's recent affairs, he continued to find Great Master Qui-Gon to practice.
"Put this on," Qui-Gon took out the helmet and accompanying sphere often used by Jedi younglings, motioning for Kot to put it on and also taking out his beskar sword. After all, a beskar sword could also deflect blaster bolts.
After putting it on, Kot couldn't see anything around him. He could only hold the sword in his hand blankly, waiting for the sphere to shoot.
"Concentrate, think about relaxing, and use The Force to perceive everything around you," Qui-Gon said, also opening the sphere and starting to shoot.
The sphere fired a green blaster bolt towards Kot, but Kot didn't react to this attack at all, taking a solid hit. "That actually hurt."
"Empty your mind, and feel The Force."
Kot tried to empty his body, completely entrusting himself to instinct for defense, letting The Force perceive these things. The sphere continuously shot at Kot, who took a few solid hits in the first few shots. On the fifth shot, he moved with instinct; he sensed everything around him, as if he could see everything around him without eyes. He saw the sphere's attack and defended against it in an instant.
The blaster bolt struck the sword blade, bounced off, and hit the nearby wall, leaving a small scorch mark.
"That's it," Qui-Gon said, speeding up the pace.
Kot was now fully able to adapt to the sphere's attacks, and Qui-Gon picked up surrounding pebbles and threw one directly. Kot turned and cut the pebble in half with a sword, and quickly blocked an attack from behind. After nearly three hours of training, Kot finally cut the sphere in half with one strike.
"Hmm, if it were among Jedi younglings, you would be one of the most outstanding, even stronger than most apprentices, though still a bit behind Obi-Wan. Continue. When Obi-Wan returns, you two can practice your lightsaber forms. Soresu and Juyo should be very entertaining."
"They sent a commlink this morning, saying they would return to Sundari today."
