The Mandalorian Chronicles Part 1, Chapter 1, The Counterattack

Author's Note: To those of you who are all wondering what this story is about I will try to answer it as quickly as I can. This story is about the Mandalorians after they have just finished training the fiercest and largest army the galaxy has ever seen. Since they are pretty big, the think they can take on the even larger Sith Empire. This story takes place before KOTOR 1, before the Mandalorians launched their war on the Jedi, and before Revan became the sith emperor. Reviews are always welcome, enjoy!

The battle was about to take place. Any minute now thousands, if not millions, of Sith troopers would come pounding through the door and would most likely kill every single living thing in the chamber.

Or so he thought. The young Mandalorian kept his repeater rifle fixed straight on the door which was now steaming at the edges. It had been a simple day on the planet Suara. An icy, snow covered planet that wasn't to fun to visit unless you had a good reason to go there. Little did the rest of the galaxy know that there had been a massive Mandalorian military base there, crawling with both the most experienced warriors, and raw recruits.

The Mandalorians were only a year into the war against the sith but already they had seen what they were up against. The Sith were more then just an empire, they were vast. Their numbers almost endless and they were always ready to put up a fight. They had both endless amounts of troops at their disposal, and millions of ships, making their great sith space armada. The Mandalorians however, were still winning. For every one Mandalorian death, there had been a hundred sith casualties, and many Mandalorians had died. The fighting had been fierce and the Mandalorians knew the sith couldn't keep up forever, and although the sith were a worthy opponent, no one can match the strength of the mighty Mandalorians, no one.

The young Mandalorian kept waiting, growing impatient. It seemed as if the whole universe had stopped what it was doing and the only action right now, was whatever was happening on the other side of the door. He was in a squatting position behind a large piece of rubble. Many of the other Mandalorians had formed barricades or shields out of whatever they could find, getting ready for the assault. Everyone in the large room was ready for what was about to come through that door.

And then the door exploded, and the sith came through.

Immediately, without hesitation, the Mandalorians began firing, snapping off many shots every second. Thousands of red laser streaks kept hitting their targets and every sith trooper that came through was either gunned down in seconds, or simply ran back away. The corpses were starting to pile up as the sith kept coming, but never even getting the time to fire off one shot before they were killed.

"Haha yeah! How do you like this!" the young Mandalorian heard someone yell as a couple of grenades were lobbed into the doorway.

There were several explosions that rocked the entire bunker and a few sparks came cascading off the smooth metallic walls. Then the waves of Sith troops stopped for a minute. The young Mandalorian pressed a button on his large repeater rifle and his old clip snapped off for him to replace it with a new one. He did so in a matter of seconds then aimed his rifle straight at the door again. He felt his heart pump loudly in his chest and an adrenaline rush flow through his body as his excitement grew. He hoped his gleaming black Mandalorian body armor would protect him through the course of the battle, but he could only hope.

"Commandoes!" One of the Mandalorian Captains yelled in his gleaming red armor.

The young Mandalorian saw even bigger sith troopers come charging through the doorway, firing random shots at everything they saw.

Oh great! he thought to himself. Bigger bad guys means bigger guns.

The Sith commandoes finally broke through the lines of laser shots and came charging into the room, many holding nasty looking vibroblades with, what looked like Wookie pelts on their handles. The young Mandalorian kept firing at the doorway, succeeding in shooting down a few of the incoming sith but then he was hit across the face, or really his mask, and was forced to stagger backwards several feet.

"Oh thanks" he said out loud feeling his face sting and three sith commandoes come running towards him.

"Drop your weapon!" he heard one of them yell. He could never tell which guy was talking to him since they were all wearing their helmets, but somehow in his gut he could tell it was the one in the middle.

"Okay" he replied as he dropped his rifle to the ground.

Then he jumped forward, slicing his armored leg through the air, kicking the middle trooper in the neck. The young Mandalorian heard a rewarding crack and the Sith trooper staggered backward, just long enough for the young Mandalorian to pull out a blaster pistol and fire off a shot straight into his chest. Not waiting to watch him fall to the ground, the young Mandalorian pulled out his vibroblade from his belt while jumping backwards only a few feet, to dodge the other two sith commando's blades that whooshed through the air a half a second later, colliding with each other right where he had been standing.

The young Mandalorian dropped the pistol he had been holding with his other hand, to pull out a second vibroblade from his belt. He had never been good with swords, but in this case he was going to have to use them anyway. Then three men all converged upon each other and the duel began. The young Mandalorian concentrated hard as blow after blow; he either parried, or dodged. Suddenly the blows stopped and the two sith commandoes fell to the floor, dead where they had been standing.

"Ummmmm?" the young Mandalorian said out loud until he saw a gold armor clad Mandalorian general standing behind the dead Sith troopers with a heavy repeater rifle in his hands.

"Thanks" he said to the General.

"Hey that's why I'm here" he said back to him then ran off, snapping shots off at other Sith commandoes, trying to help his brothers-in-arms in whatever way he could.

The young Mandalorian looked around him and watched the last of the battle stretch out across the chamber for a few seconds. The Sith had stopped coming through the doorway and the Mandalorians weren't having much trouble finishing off what was left of them in the room. The young Mandalorian smiled under his facemask and ran forward to pick up his rifle he had dropped only a minute earlier.

"Heh heh that was fun" he heard a blue clad Mandalorian say in front of him as the last fo the Sith troopers was killed.

"Hey buddy, don't get too excited" the young Mandalorian said back to him

"Oh really, and why not? I mean we just kicked some serious sith-"

Just then he was interrupted when the entire hanger shook as a ferocious, inhuman roar was heard coming from the other side of the doorway. The side the sith were on.

"That's why!" said the young Mandalorian, once again reloading for the fight to come.
