《The Mandalorian x Reader》28)

Last chapter
I know I published this a while ago, but I really have no motivation to finish this story so I'm just gonna change the end slightly
Go read my other Mando story I guess?
Y/N's P.O.V.
The female Mandalorian helped us escape the tunnels to the underground river.
Mando resumed his position by my side, once again holding onto my waist.
"The ferry droid is fried." Mando muttered and I sighed. There goes our escape plan.
"Yes, but, we push the boat out... we can get it to flow downstream." Mando protested and Greef scoffed.
"You got a better idea?"
"Guess not." Once again, Mando let go of me and I assumed he and Greef began pushing the boat and they both grunted with effort.
"Push!" Greef commanded and there was a bang, making me flinch.
"Come on, what are you doing?"
"Let's try this." There was a loud scrape and Cara sighed dramatically.
"You guys mind getting out of the way?" She asked, before something was pushed against me and the child cooed in my arms. Blaster fire erupted and an arm wrapped around my torso, pulling me back.
"Thanks." I muttered as the blaster fire stopped.
"No problem." Mando muttered from behind me.
"You two have time to be cute later, let's go." Greef spoke up.
"Watch your feet, it's molten lava." IG11 announced as Mando helped me into the boat. The child babbled away, making me laugh weakly. Familiar beeps of a droid caught everyone's attention and once again Mando tightened his hold on me.
He's just protecting the kid. I thought to myself as the droid continued to beep.
"I believe he is asking where we would like to go."
"Down river. To the lava flats." Greef replied and Mando seemed to relax slightly.

The boat moved slowly, but after a short while, Greef spoke up again.
"That's it! We're free!"
"No... no we're not." Mando replied.
"Stormtroopers are flanking the mouth of the tunnel. Looks like an entire platoon. They must know we're coming."
"Stop the boat." Cara ordered.
"Hey, droid, I said stop the boat!" The droid beeped and there was a crash.
"That doesn't sound good." I muttered to no one in particular.
"She blew the droids dome off." Greef explained.
"And we're still moving."
"Looks like we fight." Cara said.
"There are too many." Mando replied.
"Even if Y/N had her sight..."
"Then what do you suggest, because I can't surrender?" Cara demanded and I looked in her direction.
"We fight and they kill us all." I muttered.
"If we surrender, it's the same result."
"They will not be satisfied with anything less than the child. This is unacceptable." IG11 perked up.
"I will eliminate the enemy and you will escape."
"You don't have that kind of fire power, pal." Mando tightened his hold on me again.
"You wouldn't even get to daylight."
"That is not my objective." I looked in the droid's direction. He was willing to sacrifice himself for the child?
"We're getting close, saddle up." Cara announced, making me sit down.
"Keep low, keep the kid safe."
"I still have the security protocols from my manufacturer. If my designs are compromised, I must self destruct."
"I thought we went over this already?" I half joked.
"Self destructing is a big no."
"I'm not permitted to be captured, I must be destroyed." IG11 elaborated.
"Are we gonna keep talking or are we gonna get out of here?" I glared at Greef, or where I assumed he'd be.

"I can no longer look after this for you." IG11 placed something down.
"Nor can I watch over the child."
"Wait, you can't self destruct, your base command is to look after the child. That supersedes your manufacturers protocol, right?" Mando almost sounded desperate.
"Right?"
"This is correct. However-" Mando and the droid continued to argue and the child in my arms began to fuss.
"Shh, it's okay." I muttered, but he just fussed more.
"Y/N L/N, look after the child." IG11 ordered, before Greef called his name. There was a hissing sound as the droid stepped into the lava and a few moments later there was an explosion.
"We're almost out, get ready." Cara muttered and I grabbed my blaster. The sound of a imperial fighter ship caught my attention and I looked up, despite not being able to see anything.
"It's Moff Gideon!" We all began to fire, but it was futile.
"He missed!" Greef laughed.
"He won't next time." Mando muttered, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Our blasters are useless!" Cara voiced my thoughts.
"Hey, let's make the baby do the magic hands. Come on baby! Do the magic hand thing!" Greef shouted enthusiastically, making the child giggle.
"I'm out of ideas."
"I'm not." There was a series of clicks and I frowned in confusion.
"Here he comes!" Cara yelled.
"What's happening?" I asked hesitantly.
"Mando is flying." Greef muttered and I pulled a face.
"He's... flying." Cara took the child from me whilst Greef helped me out of the boat. There was an explosion from up in the sky, then another somewhere far off to my right.
"That was impressive, Mando. Very impressive. Looks like your kill rates have just gone up."
"Anymore stormtroopers?" Mando asked and Cara chuckled.
"I think we cleaned up the town." She happily replied.
"I think I'll stick around, just to be sure."
"You're staying here?" Mando asked.
"Well, why not?" Greef laughed.
"Nevarro is a very fine planet. And now that the scum and villainy has washed away, it's very respectable."
"As a bounty hunter hive?" I asked in amusement.
"Some of my favourite people are bounty hunters!" Greef patted my shoulder and I rolled my eyes.
"Perhaps, this specimen of soldier might consider joining our ranks."
"Yeah... no." Cara laughed.
"You two, my friends, you will be welcomed back into the guild with open arms, so go off, enjoy yourselves, and when you're ready to return... you'll have the pick of all quarries."
"I'm afraid Y/N and I have more pressing matters at hand." Mando replied and the child cooed.
"Take care of this little one." Cara whispered.
"Or maybe, it will take care of you." Greef chuckled. Greef nudged me forward and Mando handed me the child, his arm wrapping around my back once again.
"Are you alright?" He asked softly.
"I'm still pretty blind." I shrugged.
"You?"
"I'm fine."
"How do you plan on us getting back to the ship?" I asked curiously. I had no idea where we were, but I knew that we were nowhere near the Razor Crest.
"We'll fly." He replied simply.
"Are you sure that's going to work?"
"We're about to find out." Mando muttered.
"Hold on." The child cooed as I adjusted my arms around the Mandalorian and his arm around my waist tightened.
"I've got you." He muttered as we left the ground.
"I've got you, cyar'ika."

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
