//-------------------------------------------------------// Born to Bounty Hunter -by leo0074- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 CHAPTER 1 "PLANET GEONOSIS" My name is Jango Fett, I'm a Bounty Hunter, the best there is, I am working for the Separatist leader Count Dooku, he and others contract me to be their body guard for the least of my stance in Geonosis, I'm been working for them for a good time. Me and my son Boba were special guests of the Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser and watched the execution of two Jedi's and the senator of Naboo, from a private balcony from the Petranaki arena with the Geonosian leader, Count Dooku, and Nute Gunray. The execution did not go as planned, as all three prisoners managed to free themselves from their chains and evade the three beasts that had been let loose upon them, and a massive battle broke out between the Jedi and the droid army that poured into the arena. I can only chuckled, 'this should be interesting', I thought. I was on one side of Dooku on the balcony of the arena, just being a spectator of the battle,I notice the Jedi named Mace Windu was fighting the Reek, one of the creatures that had been let loose to execute the two Jedi and the senator, the beast make Windu drop his lightsaber, although I would remain at Dooku's side, I decided to take the chance. I used my jetpack to fly down to the arena floor, living Dooku and the others Separatist leaders in the balcony, once I get to the floor I confronted Windu. 'I'm going to kill this Jedi scum', I thought. I try to get his lightsaber, but Windu retrieved it with a simple Force Pull, before I could get it. But then the Reek suddenly get into the battle, where he charge at me. I try to avoid it but it was very fast and step over me, luckily I came out unscathed, the beast realized that I was still standing, sow he charge at my one more time But before it could hit me, I use one of my blasters and make a clear shoot, killing it with a swift blast to the head, but then I notice that my jetpack was damaged with the Reek's attack. 'Dammit!', I thought. The I see that Windu rushed to where I was standing, I try to kill him whit my blaster, but my attempts to blast him proved futile, leading my to attempt to gain space by jetting away, but my jetpack upon which I relied failed to fire, leaving my vulnerable. Windu was still running to me, I keep firing whit my blaster, but all the shoots where reflected by Windu's lightsaber, Windu was already tow close, and before I do something, the Jedi, in an attempt to make my stop firing, he cut my hand clean off, that really hurt a lot, but the pain finish quickly when the Jedi whit he's lightsaber was about to lunch a strike to my head. I know what was about to coming, I know that this was gonna be the end, before the Jedi make his strike, I can only think in one thing before I die, what was gonna happen to Boba?. Then everything goes dark...........nothing, there was nothing, only silence, after some moments pass, I find myself floating in complete darkness, it was like space, but there wasn't any stars, all was dark. "What the hell is happening?", I ask to myself. I was confuse, I didn't have any idea of what is going on, was this supposed to be where someone go when he die, I didn't know. Silence was everywhere, couldn't see anything, but then I began to see a light, a flashing light, so bright that it could be compared to a star, but without realizing it, I was approaching the light, the light began to shine even stronger, eventually consumed me and the brightness let my blind. But then I was able to hear something. "We're almost there doctor, just a little more", say a feminine voice. Then I hear another voice, but this one was masculine, "Yes!, It's almost out!" Cried the voice, that let me a little more confused. 'What is happening', I ask to myself. Finally brightness clearance, allowing me to see I'm big room that it looks like an hospital, but what got my attention was that I'm being charged by two creatures from a espies that I had never seen, the two were colorful and had very similar facial aspects to a humanoid. "Hmm, that's strange, he it's not crying", say one of the voices. I try to say something, but for my surprise, I wasn't able to talk I only make strange sounds. Suddenly, the creature that was supposed to be a female makes a surprised expression, "It's a boy!" Exclaimed the creature. 'What!?, What do she mean by that!?' I said before take the time to notice that no longer was wearing my armor, and to my surprise had no hands, but hooves, I think that's how they call, then I look to my body to see something even worse, I wasn't human anymore, I have become one of them. I start to panic, but that did not go unnoticed by the other two creatures. "Wow, the little one has many energies," said one of them. Then the one how was carried my turn around to the other side with me in his hoves, "Congratulations miss Soft Plum, here you have your baby," he said as he give me to some else hoves. 'Soft Plum?, what kind of name is......Wait!, did she said Baby?', I recall in shock. After the creature pass me to the other one hooves, I was able to see his face, It was yellow with an orange mane, like the others he had a human characteristics, it was smiling at me, I could see the joy in his eyes. Then I start to know what it was happening, 'oh no!, please tell me that this is not what I think it is!', I thought. "Hello my baby, I'm your mommy," said the creature with an affectionate tone, which it only bother me. I was speechless, 'my mother?!, I can't believe what is happening, I......I have reborn, but how?, or why?'. Whoever, the creature how was supposed to be my new mother could see my face in shock, "How sweet you are, and small, you look just like your father," said passing to a sad tone, "I just wish he was still with us", she said, I suppose that he's dead, but I don't care how was my new father or my new mother, I cannot believe what is happening, I am reborn, not know whether to be happy to live again, or struck by the idea of be a four-legged creature. My thoughts were interrupted by my new mother, "You are beautiful, and tender, you have my eyes, and the mane of your father", she said. Out of curiosity what he said, I decided to check my mane, it was black, like as it had before, and I realized that my skin was purple, like my armor, "Now my little pony, I think I'll put you a name," she said. 'Oh no' "I think I call you .......". 'Please no!' "Bright Steel, because you are the new light of my life," she said. It strikes me, 'I cannot believe, what kind of stupid name is that!, I knew she would put something bad, but not that bad!'. Upon seeing my reaction, she just laughed, "Good thing you liked, Bright Steel, that is your name," she said starting to embrace me. This is too much for one day, first I die, then I reborn, and now I am a new breed of alien whit a new mother, I have no idea what's going on, not sure if this is some kind of after life, or a second chance to live, I don't know what it's going to happen next, but I'm sure of something, but before I could continue thinking, but for some reason I fell asleep, and I could not help feeling embarrassed. "Sleep well my little pony", say my new mother. The next day I woke up, then I yawn, "Where am I", looked around, and noticed that I was in a crib, with bars, prison cell looked like. 'All is foul of that Jedi, I wish this was a dream', anyway, I don't care if this is a new live, I need to know how is the technological level of this planet and go find Boba, how knows where he is, but first I need to get out of here, I thought. I try to get up, but I fell, I remembered that I am a newborn, 'Damn!', without any other option I began to crawl up to the edge of the crib, which try to lean against the wall of the fence to get a better view of where I am, it was a kind of room. I assumed it was my room, but to my surprise it was full of toys and baby things, I had never felt so embarrassed, 'what kind of mother do I have', I thought, but ignoring all of that y was able to see the fence was not as high, taking advantage of that, try to climb, but for the same reason that I could stand up, I wasn't able to climb the fence, there wasn't nothing to do, I was trapped in my baby prison. They spent hours in the crib and could not do anything, I was bored as hell, began to be hungry, with nothing I could think of, I decided to check my body once again, I look down to notice that I had a diaper, 'That's enough!', I declare, I have spent enough shame, and I don't think to have more. Anger made me start throwing things from my crib, the blanket, the savanna, but when I move the blanket, something else moved, something that caught my attention, I approached curiously, only to find what looked like a book. 'A book?, now I know how primitive this planet is', I declare. But anyway, I decided to review the book, I deal with my hooves to try to move the book, but fail. 'Dammit! I prefer my hands whit fingers', I recall in frustration. After a few attempts, I finally managed to have a good view of the book, book cover had two of the creatures in a landscape, the sun and moon in the background, one thing that caught my attention was that the odds had wings and a horn. Out of curiosity I decided to check on my side for wings, but there was nothing, then I touch my head to feel a horn, but nothing, 'hmm, strange, "I said. Then I continue with the inspection of the book, after a few moments, I decided to open it, to my surprise, I was able to understand what was written, 'How is possible that I can read this?, this isn't the same vocabulary', after a few moments of thinking, 'maybe this have something to do whit my transformation', that was my theory. The book look stupid, but as I had nothing better to do, I decided to read. Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria...... 'Equestria?, is this where I am now?', I ask myself, then I keep reading. ........There were two regal sisters who ruled together, and created harmony for all the land, to do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn, the younger brought out the moon to begin the night....... I was surprise, 'Raise the Moon and the Sun?, ok this must be one of those stupid myths from this planet', then I stop riding, but then I realize that I don't have something better to do, so I continue. ........Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies.......... 'Really, is this how the species is call?, Ponies?', I say, then I return to read. .......But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful, the ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth, but shunned and slept through her beautiful night, one fateful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn........ I chuckled, 'I think I know where this is going'. ......The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness, Nightmare Moon..... 'Nightmare Moon?, ok I'm done whit stupid names'. .......She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night, reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom, the Elements of Harmony, using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister, and banished her permanently in the moon, the elder sister took on responsibility for both sun and moon and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since........ When I finish reading, I close the book, 'We'll, that was interesting, but anyway, I need to........', my thoughts where interrupted by the sound of the door being opened. I turn my head to see the origin of the sound to find Soft Plum, in other words my mother, before she could say something, I start to take a look to his body to find a horn or wings, but nothing. "Good morning Bright Steel, I see you wake up early", she said whit humor. 'Now look ho is here, it's about time', I joke, too bad that I can’t talk. She begins to approach the crib, "Sleep well my little pony?. 'As a baby,' I said giving a small laugh. She just gives me a smile, "ohh, it's good to see you glad to see me". Suddenly, it could hear a little noise in the room, my mother and I turned to the sides, looking for the origin of the sound, only to discover that it was my stomach, 'I had forgotten that I was hungry'. "Oh, my poor son is hungry?". 'Yeah'. "Do not worry, it's time for your milk," he said as he approached me. I felt better, 'Good to know you are going to give me something to eat, but do you not have anything else that........what are you doing?', I panicked when I knew What she was going to do. Then she grab me whit his front legs, but I put resistance, "Now, Now Bright Steel, be steady and don't hurt mom", she said. 'Nooo, nooo, nooo!', I try to be free, but it was too late. Some moments later "Well Bright, I hope you enjoyed your food," she said. For the first time in my life, I fell terrified of something, 'That was the worst thing that ever happened to me, I need to forget that.........I really need to forget that'. She laughs a little, without realizing it, with its front legs, she grab me and gives me a big hug, "I love you my little pony". 'From all the species, why I had to by this one named Pony?, even better would be a Wookie', I thought, even when somehow his embrace felt good, this was the most unfortunate thing that it could happen to me. Somehow I knew that this new life was not going to end well, no matter if I'm not a human anymore, or if everything I did will stay in the past, maybe here they start to call me by that stupid name of Bright Steel, but I know who I really are...............I'm Jango Fett. TO BE CONTINUE //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 CHAPTER 2 It's a shame that the best Bounty Hunter from the galaxy it's now I little baby, hard to believe that the next two years have been the hardest, no for problems or anything, but because I have been locked in my house with Soft Plum, yeah I don't like the idea of called him mother, she have been feeding me the most of the time with his mother's milk, that's horrible, it's more humiliating than the diaper, not to mention they were the most boring, what make all things better was that I finally was able to walk, but I really start to miss the meat. I found out that this planet is totally primitive, there's were my hopes to get out of here end, I'm still worry for Boba, I don't know if he's ok, good to know that I teach Boba what to do en case that I die, anyway, I discover that I'm been living in a city called Canterlot, I was surprise when I learn that is in a mountain, the only times I've been out in the city where when I go shopping with Soft Plum, or to a walk in the park. Even if I don't like this new life, I've been starting to accept it, but I will never forget who I really am, and nothing it's going to stop me to do what I do best. During my time here, I discovered that I'm what the people here call an earth Pony, one of three different types of ponies, one type of Pony are the Pegasus, they have wings and can fly, Unicorns have horns, and for my surprise they can use something that it calls magic, it was something like the force, but whit this magic, they were able to do more things that the Jedi can't, and Regulars Pony’s, like myself. There are also some persons that happen to be royalty, they are called Alicorns, they have wings and a horn at the same time, for now I only hear of one, and she's the ruler of this land called Equestria, he's name is Princess Celestia, everybody love her, I don't understand why, there was a time when Soft Plum led me to the parade in Canterlot where the Princess appeared, I swear I do not find it that great to that Pony, but what got my attention was that she was able to move the Sun and Moon of the planet, at first I could not believe it, it was against the laws of physics, which led me to the conclusion that she was the older sister of the story that I read in my first day of my new life, but then I did not care. When I was three years old, I was already able to speak, but the truth is that I had no interest in communicating with other people, I really hate to say everypony or somepony, it's really idiotic, Soft Plum occasionally wanted me to talk, so whit no other option, I began to have conversations with her, she was surprise with the kind of topics I was saying, I guess it is surprising to see a child whit my capacity of speak, that's another reason of why I don't like to speak, I realized that she was sad that I always call her by his name and never call her mom, but later she was already accustomed. When I was four, I was already able to do things on my own, I decide to begin my training, take the same Mandalorian training I had as a child, many wondered why as a child so young I begin to do such things, even my mother was curious, she even begin to suppose that I wanted to join the Royal Guard, those clowns in shining armor who refer to themselves as military, but I did not pay many attention, I know that the day I return to the business, I had to be prepared, even if Equestria is a pacific country, I know that there will still be vermin that may offer a good job. I train every day and every night until I was seven years old, Soft Plum was finally going to send me to school, that It's where the nightmare begins. "CANTERLOT SCHOOL" "Good morning class, this day have a new classmate, please say all hello to Bright Steel", after the teacher, who was a unicorn, finish introducing me to the class, I enter the room. Once inside, I noticed that the room was made up of all kinds of ponies, pegasi, unicorns and earth ponies, all couples seated at tables. All attention is focused on me, "HELLO BRIGHT STEEL", the other children greeted me, some were seen excited to have a new partner in the class, especially the purple unicorn, but when they note my serious and cold gaze, all of them fell silent. I chucked, but then I see the purple unicorn how was still making me a big smile, I fell a perturbation. With a smile, the teacher continued, "Well Bright Steel, you have something to tell the class about yourself?", he ask me. "No," I answered with my cold gaze. The professor slams his head, "Oh, okay, well sit aside Twilight ok?" He said turning to the blackboard. I shook my head and turn around to the rest of the class, only to see the purple unicorn waving their hooves, I knew she was going to be my partner, role my eyes and I approached my seat, once seated, the class begun. The purple unicorn greeting me with a smile, she began to speak, "Hi, I'm Twilight Sparkle, what's your name?" He said smiling. Try to ignore the best I could, but his eyes never left me, after a break, I decided to answer, "As perhaps you did not hear it when the teacher said it, do you?", I Said. "Sorry but I was distracted", she said, but that comment struck my head. "What do you mean with you get distracted?, you was looking at me the whole time", I testify. "That's my point, I got distracted looking at you". "What do you mean by that?", I ask confused. "Dah, you are new, and I get distracted because I wanted to help you", she answered, just leaving me more confused. "Help my whit what?", I ask. "You know, to adjust to school", he said in a smartass way, but friendly, "because you are the new in school, and the new ones don't like to be alone", she declared with a smile of excitement. I give her a look of confusion for a moment, until I decided to speak, "Well, I'd rather be alone," I said in a firm hoping to leave me alone. She looked at me in surprise, "Why?". I began to despair, "Because that's how I like it", I declare. "But.....", before she could finish, the teacher interrupted. "Miss Sparkle, if you feel much like talking, how about going to talk to the Principal to not interrupt my class," I threaten Professor. Twilight just made a horrified face, "No teacher!, Please no!, I'll be good!, please!, I have never sent to see the principal!, Please!, My parents will be mad at me, please!", Twilight beg. I just roll my eyes, "Have some dignity". After a few moments of thinking, the teacher decided, "OK, I'll give you one chance, if you respond correctly the following operation," he said as he walked to the blackboard and whit his magic he levitate a piece of chalk and write a math operation, after a few moments he finish, "Ok, are you ready?", he asked with a mocking face to Twilight, I never expect that of a teacher, I think in this world there still evil things. I was able to see the ribs of Twilight, she knew that this would be a difficult operation, after a few moments, in the end , she whit courage answered, "I will," he said firmly. With his mouth gathers chalk, and began to solve the operation. Minutes passed, and Twilight still not finished, I could see how nervous she was but that did not stop her, she continued spending time, until she finally end. Whit joy, Twilight shout, "Finish!!!", she turned around, only to find the teacher and the whole class room sleeping, the only person not asleep was me. When I see the surprised face of Twilight of find the class room sleeping, I decided to wake the teacher touching it a few times with my hoof. After a few moments, the teacher wakes abruptly, "What! That!, Like!", after a few moments he calm down them he look at my, then to the blackboard where Twilight was standing, "Oh, you're done, okay let me see it". The continue to review the operation until I check the result, after seeing it, gives a devilish smile, "Well Twilight think your result is wrong," he said with a mocking tone. "WHAT!!!", she yell, she was really surprise, I was able to see tears in his eyes. Then the teacher turn around to face Twilight, "We'll Twilight, I think you better......", I interrupt the teacher. "Teacher", I call him. He turn around, "What is it Bright Steel?". "What if I do the operation, and if I answer correctly, you forgive Twilight?", I propose. The teacher and Twilight looked at me in confusion, everything was silent for the moment, until finally the teacher gives a smile and spoke, "Okay, but if you answer is wrong, both will go to see the Principal, is that understood?", he ask. I nodded and proceed to the front, but before I could get there, Twilight stop me. "Are you crazy, you don't have to do this!", she exclaimed, but I just ignore him. Once I get to the blackboard, I chalk the grip with my mouth, I already know the answer, and with nothing to do, I wrote one hundred seventy five, I must say I was sick of having something in my mouth that others also, once I finish, I turn around to see the teacher whit his mouth while open, I just chuckled. The teacher was surprise, "How......how did you did it, this is a high level problem, you....you most have cheating!", he say. "No, I did not cheat, and I already assumed that this exercise was not from this academe level," I said while I was going back to my place. Once present in my seat, it don't took long to Twilight to come to me with many questions, "How do you did it!?, Where you learn to do such advanced operations!?, Might perhaps you.........", I mute her putting my hoof in his mouth, she's truly annoying. I take a deep breath, "Look, if you have problems whit mathematics, it will be fine if it help you, but please calm down?", I say in a serious form, then I release his mouth. "Ops.....ok, sorry about that", she said whit a little shamefacedly, "anyway, what if we help each other?". "What do you mean", I ask. "I mean I helped you get to know the school, and you help me to better learn math!", She said excitedly. "But that problem was top grade, you already know everything you need", I said trying to reason whit her. "I know!, that's why I want to understand better, because is a high level!", she exclaim whit emotion. I feel speechless, 'I think she really like to learn', I thought while I was thinking in his offer, I didn't really care about know the school or other people, but anyway, I was sure that do something whit her it will be better than stay in home whit Soft Plum, a course I could do some training, but I could do other things. "Sow!, what do you think!?", she ask me. After a few moments, I finally decide, "Ok, I will help you". "Yeah!!!", she yell as she hug me. 'Good to know that the others are sleeping and the teacher is in shock', I thought, but this is still shameful, 'One of the most fearsome Bounty Hunters in the galaxy been hugged by a little creature'. "Can you please release me?", I ask. Then she shook he's head, "Oh sorry", then she release me, "Anyway, can you tell me your name again?", she ask. Once again I return whit me cold gaze. 'Jango Fett'. "Bright Steel", I say whit, 'stupid name', I thought. "Whoa, It's a nice name". 'Maybe for you' "Thanks", I say. Since then Twilight and I were good partners, while I help her understand better various topics in school, until she become one of the smartest pony in Canterlot she start to accompany me more often, even when I'm someone who prefers to be alone, I felt comfortable whit his company, she was the only one ho I could talk to, even if she is a little annoying sometimes, I discover that she's not that bad, she was one of the few people who I might consider a friend, I could say that she won my confidence. When I was eight, everything change in the Summer Sun Celebration, where Princess Celestia raises the sun, after Twilight come back from the event, she became more studious, you could say it had begun to get into the books more than anything else, we begin to see ourselves less and do not talk much, but when she passed his entrance exam for Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, and she get he's Cute Mark in magic, that tattoo that the ponies get in the ass when they discover his especial talent, that was the time when we stopped seeing each other, the last time I saw her, but in the end I did not mind so much, and keep my training. Throughout my schooling, I had many opportunities for my future, thanks to my high promethium, but turning away all, Soft Plum did not agree whit the idea, but as usual I did not care what others think about me. When I finished school, was one of the best days of my new life, and was free to follow my training the rest of the time, but my physical not pass unnoticed, Soft Plum and among others, noted that unlike other stallions, I was really strong, even for my early age like other times, the Royal Guard offered me a place in recruits high performance, but like everything turning away, I have no reason to be with a bunch of clowns, not to mention the mares who kept looking at me, I was aware of what was going on with that, but I have better things to do than have a marefriend, or that is how they called. Finally when I was nineteen, Soft Plum stayed seriously sick, I was on the lookout for he the most of the time, even if I wasn't tow attached to Soft Plum, I felt bound to her. She died two weeks later, they made his funeral in Canterlot, all his acquaintances attended, but I was not there, I was never very attached to someone's funeral, I respected Soft Plum, but she was gone, and there wasn't nothing I could do, after what happened there I leave Canterlot, and finally decided to start again my career as Bounty Hunter. And the name of Jango Fett will returns. TO BE CONTINUE
