The doors slid open to reveal a normal looking cantina. Several patrons stopped what they were doing to look over at us, which isn't unusual to me at this point. I guess walking around with two Mandalorians makes people curious.

The place was practically silent as they watched us, it was like they were expecting a fight. I glanced across the room and locked onto two familiar people at the back of the cantina. Bo-Katan and Koska Reeves were wearing their mandalorian armor but they had taken their helmets off.

Din, Boba and I walked across the cantina, coming to a stop in front of their table. The women looked up at us in confusion, Koska looked mildly irritated which I didn't appreciate.

"I need your help." Din said

"Not all Mandalorians are bounty hunters. Some of us serve a higher purpose" Bo-Katan said. My fingers twitched at her words. They were disrespectful since she knew that we had taken the child to Ahsoka, I think helping the Jedi is serving a "higher purpose".

"They took the child." Din said. I watched as Bo-Katan's entire demeanor changed.

"Who?" She asked him

"Moff Gideon." Din stated

"You'll never find him." Bo-katan shook her head subtly and turned back to her table

"We don't need these two. Let's get outta here." Boba said to Din and I. I watched as both Bo-Katan and Koska tensed at the sound of his voice.

"You are not a Mandalorian." Bo-Katan suddenly stated.

"Never said I was." Boba stated

"I didn't know sidekicks were allowed to talk." Koska said mockingly. I furrowed my brows at their hostile attitude.

Boba Fett chuckled and took a few steps towards Koska. "Well, if that isn't true Quacta calling the stifling slimy."

Koska stood up as Boba approached her, they seemed to be having a standoff.

"Easy there, little one." Boba Fett said

"You'll be talking through the window of a bacta tank." Koska said angrily

"All right, easy. Save it for the Imps." Bo-Katan said with her hand outstretched towards her friend. Koska reluctantly sat back down in her seat.

"We have his coordinates." Din spoke up

"You can bring me to Moff Gideon?" Bo-Katan asked in surprise

"The Moff has a light cruiser. It could be helpful in your effort to regain Mandalore." Din said

"You gotta be kidding me. Mandalore? The Empire turned that planet to glass." Boba Fett said

"You are a disgrace to your armor." Bo-Katan spat angrily

"This armor belonged to my father." Boba Fett said

"Don't you mean your donor?" Bo-Katan said angrily

"Careful, princess." Boba Fett said. He visibly tensed and got closer to Bo-Katan.

"You are a clone." Bo-Katan stated as she stood up from her chair. Koska stood up along with her.

"I've heard your voice thousands of times." Bo-Katan stated

"Mine might be the last one you hear." Boba Fett said

"Guys, is this really..." I was quickly cut off when Koska began to swing at Boba Fett. He quickly caught her arm and threw her into a bar table. "For kriffs sake." I muttered to myself.

Before Koska could stand up again, Boba shot out a wire from his vambrace and wrapped it around her wrist. The two of them strained against each other as they pulled on the wire. Somehow, Koska managed to pull Boba towards her and kick him in the stomach.
