The Mandalorian Rebel

Chapter 1,

Greeting readers this is my first story so please don't be too critical

A/U: Alright to be clear I'm a newbie author, I started when I saw that there wasn't any Sabine x OC male Mandalorian stories so I decided to make my own. I'm really nervous about my story and I need reviews so I'll know that you want me to continue, and I'm trying to start a trend here, so if you have an idea for a Sabine x OC story write a fanfiction on it.

Disclaimer: star wars belongs to Disney all I own is my OC Leonidas.

The crew of the Ghost were currently having engine trouble on Tatooine, the hyper drive was damaged by an imperial TIE fighter before jumping into hyperspace when they were escaping after a mission on Raxus. Hera and Chopper were currently working on the engine but with little to no progress.

"Ugh, the power converter was damaged during the fight so we need a new one". Hera groaned.

"Well, can't we just buy a new one at a bazaar or something?" Ezra asked.

"You're even stupider than I thought boy," Zeb who was currently leaning against the ship taunted, "the people of Tatooine would swindle you out of anything you have".

"Lay off Zeb, we might as well see what we can find in the bazaar, Sabine how many credits do we have." Kanan ordered.

"About 10 grand." Sabine answered while giving her armor a new paint job."

"We'll just have to make due" Kanan interjected.

"I'll stay behind to watch the ship". Hera stated.

The bazaar was rather shabby but had quite a few rare items even HK-51 parts. The crew split up into two teams Zeb and Sabine, and Ezra with Kanan. While browsing the cartel Sabine saw a jawa selling all kinds of ship parts.

Sabine and Zeb walked up to the jawa and asked "Do you have any power converters for a Vector class smuggling cargo ship?"

"Ethe ma kawa jama!"

"|You are in luck human and thing, last converter in stock!"|the jawa chided excitedly.

"What did you just call me runt?" Zeb growled while reaching for his Bo staff. Sabine calmed Zeb down and said "what he means to say is how much."

"Paca nca corke 50 grodne."

|For the last power converter on planet 50 grand.| the jawa chided on.

"50 grand!" Sabine and Zeb shouted.

"Thisa lesk paca corke on Tatooine, mesa no exek ud puna mer!"

| No other merchant has this kind of power converter, I won't accept a credit less than 50 grand!| the jawa stated.

The two refused to believe the jawa and decided to browse the rest of the bazaar, with no results.

Sabine and Zeb regrouped with Ezra and Kanan and told them about the jawa's claim.

"Well he isn't lying" Kanan stated calmly.

"What do you mean?" Zeb asked.

"It means that we checked all of the vendors and none of them sell the power converter we are looking for." Ezra stated in a matter a fact tone.

"Wait look at that!" Sabine exclaimed. It was a poster stating that a no weapons tournament was being held and the prize was 100,000 unmarked credits.

"Well I'll be a son of a Sarlaac!" Zeb exclaimed.

"It's simple Zeb and I will enter and win the money!" Sabine exclaimed.

"Do not be blinded by your overconfidence Sabine". Kanan stated.

"What other choice do we have?" Ezra asked.

"Fine"! Kanan reluctantly said.

"Yes!" Sabine and Zeb fist bumped.

The stadium looked like a miniature pod racer stadium. At the front of the admittance booth there was Bith handing out tickets and taking bets. "We would like two seats and two spots in the tournament." Kanan requested.

"Soats ary fronkeky, admoka 5 gronde eack"

|The seats to watch are free, admittance is 5 grand each."| The Bith said while putting out his two hands one had the two tickets for the stadium the other hand was flat, meaning he wanted the credits up and front.

"That's all the credits we have!" Ezra exclaimed. Kanan put a reassuring hand on Ezra's shoulder, "We must take the risk young one, and I have faith in Sabine and Zeb." Kanan said. Kanan gave the Bith the last of their credits and went to their seats, Sabine and Zeb followed a Gammorean to the locker rooms.

"Stom mak hew, wate unel yoki nam is calt"

|Stay right here until your name is called| the Gammorean ordered. When the Gammorean left the loud speaker turned on almost immediately.

"Welcome to the 66th annual Pit Fight Tournament!" a cyborg Gran who spoke basic, announced. The crowd applauded in response. "We all have gathered here to see who is the superior fighter on Tatooine." The Gran continued. "First up we have the menace from Taris Borga!" Once he finished his statement a big muscular Gammorean came out of one of the stadium doors putting both of his arms up like a professional boxer would after a big victory. "And his opponent is the pride of Mandalore Leonidas!"

Sabine perked up at that statement and paid close attention to the screen surveying the arena provided in the locker room. It had been awhile since she met a fellow Mandalorian. Out of an adjacent stadium door came a Mandalorian that appeared to be a little older than Sabine, he wore a suit of Mandalorian armor that had a customized paint job. His helmet was spray painted like a rancor head in a way that it looked like it was eating his visor and the front of the helmet being inside of its mouth. The rest of his armor was spray painted light brown and camouflage. He had a slightly muscular build to him, and he was about 4 inches taller than Sabine. The crowd let out a thunderous applause in response.

"Mesa goin to cut yoki heark uk!"

|I will rip your heart out runt!"| Borga shouted to Leonidas.

"That's what you think you fat pig!" Leonidas countered in a Mandalorian accent.

"Let the battle begin!" the Gran announced.

Borga was furious about Leonidas's fat pig comment and charged in for a punch to his face. Leonidas grabbed his fist mid punch and squeezed it so hard the whole stadium could hear a sharp crack. The crowd grimaced at the sound. "That guy is brutal." Ezra stated. Back on the field Leonidas threw Borga over his head, causing Borga to land flat on his back. Leonidas then performed a left-hook on Borga who was barely standing up. Borga barely recovered and attempted to grab Leonidas but he upper-cut Borga's chin knocking him flat and unconscious.

"And that's a knockout, Leonidas advances to the next round!" The cyborg announced. The crowd gave its usual thunderous applause in reply.

In the locker room Zeb wolf whistled "That kids got spunk." Sabine didn't hear the comment as she was mesmerized by Leonidas's fighting form.

"Hey Sabine." Zeb poked her head to snap her out of her stupor.

"What Zeb?" Sabine asked a little shocked by the sudden statement.

"Someone has a crush!" Zeb teased.

"No way, why would you think that?" Sabine demanded angrily with some red in her cheeks.

"You couldn't take your eyes off of the fight, and look at him he's like a male version of you." Zeb casually explained.

"Buzz off Zeb, and wasn't your name called a few minutes ago?" Sabine countered.

"Oh my, your right!" Zeb rushed to his door just before it opened.

"For this round we have the Annihilator from Nar Shadaa the Blood Rain!" The Gran exclaimed. Out came a bulky man in Krayt slicer armor cracking his knuckles.

"And his opponent the Loner from Lasan Zeb" Zeb walked out waving to the roaring crowd. "Let the battle commence!"

Zeb and Blood Rain charged at one another and exchanged punches and head-butts. Zeb performed a side strike with his arm temporarily stunning Blood Rain, and followed up with a straight headbutt to Blood Rain's head. Blood Rain responded by grabbing Zeb and tossing him across the arena, but Zeb recovered.

"You're tougher than you look worm!" Zeb told Blood Rain. Blood Rain responded by charging forward like a Reek. Zeb tripped him by low sweeping his legs causing him to fall flat on his face. Ezra snickered a bit in his seat. Before Blood Rain could recover Zeb picked him up and threw him head first onto the ground, knocking him out.

"And that will definitely hurt in the morning as Zeb advances to the next round!" The Gran yelled. The audience was going as wild as a hungry Nexu.

"That's how it's done!" Zeb bragged to Sabine.

"Watch and learn Zeb, and see how a Mandalorian gets the job done." Sabine said.

"I'll be watching you." Zeb said.

"Now for the third round, we have the Terror from Sriluur Valko" A big Weequay wearing mismatched armor pieces came out blowing kisses to the ladies in the audience. "And his opponent, we have another Mandalorian but this one is female, Sabine Wren!" Sabine came out wearing her full body of armor."

"Mesa wiln trea to go easie on ethe"

|I'll try to go easy on you."| The big Weequay taunted.

"You're such a gentleman." Sabine replied sarcastically.

"Let the battle begin" the Gran shouted.

Valko ran towards Sabine in an attempt to grab her, but Sabine cartwheeled out of the way and kicked him in the face, knocking one of his teeth out. Valko attempted to punch Sabine in the stomach, but she did a backflip and kicked his chin in doing so. Now Valko was really mad. He was now attempting to grab Sabine's throat. Sabine then delivered the coup de grace with a roundhouse kick to Valko's rib cage.

"Valko is down and out, wonderful moves Sabine." The Gran announced.

"The odds seem to be going in our favor" Ezra stated.

"I don't know Ezra, that Leonidas fellow is a formidable foe". Kanan replied.

The rounds continued on until semifinals.

"Well folks there's been a lot of beat downs tonight and we're nearing the end". Leonidas walked out one door and Zeb walked out the other. "We have Zeb vs Leonidas, both have proven to be formidable warriors but only one shall advance to the finals!"

"You're the only thing left between me and that cash" Zeb said confidently.

"Correction it is you who shall fall and it is I who shall rise." Leonidas replied calmly.

"Let the battle begin!"

Zeb started out by attempting to punch Leonidas in the face, but he quickly moved his head left and right, dodging all of Zeb's strike. Zeb was beginning to become frustrated and tried to low sweep Leonidas, but Leonidas jumped up and kneed Zeb's chin in the process. Zeb charged Leonidas and knocked him down.

"Hah, hah!" Zeb laughed. However his laughter didn't last more than two seconds as Leonidas recovered quickly and punched Zeb's stomach. Zeb's laughter turned into a cringe in the blink of an eye. Leonidas seized the opportunity while Zeb was stunned to deliver a series of well-aimed punches and kicks to all the spots he previously struck. This caused Zeb to nearly faint from the pain, something he rarely felt. Zeb's final move was a desperate attempt to knock down and pile drive Leonidas. Unfortunately for Zeb, Leonidas predicted this and did a front flip over Zeb and used Zeb's back as a springboard to finish his flip. Zeb felt all of his energy leave him and collapsed onto the sandy floor.

"And Zeb is down and out, well folks it has been proven again, brains defeat brawn!" The Gran said. The crowd roared in its usual deafening cheer. Except for Kanan and Ezra who were in disbelief at how Zeb, their greatest fighter, barely landed a hit on the Mandalorian.

"Sabine is our last hope now." Kanan said.

"What happens if she can't defeat Leonidas, master?" Ezra asked.

"Then we'll be stuck on Tatooine for a very long time." Kanan answered.

"Now for the final round of the semifinals, folks!" the Gran declared. "First we have the Grand Champion of Gand, Nium!" As the Gran finished his statement the door opened to reveal a rather slender Gand wearing pieces of armor that appeared to be from battle droids. "And his opponent the Spunky female from Mandalore Sabine Wren!" The Gran finished. "Ready, let the battle commence!"

Sabine made the first strike with a punch to the Gand's throat, but it didn't seem to faze him. "What the?" Sabine said. Nium countered by swiftly performing acrobatics to confuse Sabine, and then struck her ribs with a powerful jump kick. While Sabine was stunned Nium kneed her in the chin knocking Sabine down but not out. Sabine gave Nium a taste of his own medicine by gracefully flipping over him back and forth. Nium was getting tired from his constant attempts to hit Sabine, the latter seized the chance and punched his breathing mask. The punch compromised the Gand's mask and he began to panic in an attempt to fix it. While he was in turmoil Sabine finished him off with a quick karate chop to his head.

"With some brutal battle tactics Sabine has advanced into the finals!" the Gran exclaimed as a Rodian and a Nikto came out and put Nium on a stretcher to fix his mask.

"Why would Sabine do something like that?" Ezra thought out loud.

"Because she is worried about us being stranded here if she loses this tournament." Kanan explained.

"Now the moment we've all been waiting for!" The Gran announced excitedly. "We have our two finalists, both Mandalorians but only one will claim the cash!" The Gran continued. Leonidas and Sabine stepped out onto the arena. "Tensions are as high as the bets have been going in this tournament folks, now let the final battle of the 66th annual Pit Fighter tournament begin!" the Gran shouted at the top of his lungs.

Leonidas and Sabine charged at one another. Sabine attempted to low sweep Leonidas, but Leonidas grabbed her leg and swung her across the field. Sabine recovered and countered rather quickly. Sabine punched Leonidas in the helmet knocking him down but not out. Leonidas performed a low sweep on Sabine and attempted to pile drive her while she was down but Sabine kicked Leonidas' chest while he was in the air causing him to fall back, but he sprung right back up as if nothing happened. Leonidas then charged Sabine and knocked her back a few feet. Sabine flipped over Leonidas and kicked his back but failed to knock him down in doing so. Sabine was really starting to sweat and Leonidas didn't look like he was even tired.

"You are a formidable foe Sabine Wren, but you are no match for me." Leonidas stated.

"I beg to differ" Sabine yelled as she attempted to catch him in a scissor kick lock, but it backfired as Leonidas grabbed both of her legs and twisted them. Leonidas had sprung her legs! Sabine was now on her knees trying desperately to stand up but the agonizing pain from her sprung legs kept her where she was, at the mercy of Leonidas. Leonidas finished her off with a flawless roundhouse kick to her head knocking off her helmet in the process.

"And Sabine is down and out, the winner of the 100,000 credits is Leonidas!"

Everyone except Kanan and Ezra were cheering for the victor.

"We lost." Kanan said with a hint of sorrow in his voice.

When the medics came out to retrieve Sabine, Leonidas in a surprise move picked Sabine up bridal style and placed her on the stretcher. Leonidas then went up to the Gran who gave him a case. Leonidas opened the case to see rows of gold credits.

"I thank you sir for this bounty, glory to Mandalore!" Leonidas shouted to the crowd, who responded with an applause. Leonidas then left off to the market.

Meanwhile in the infirmary…..

"I'm sorry I failed you" Sabine said mournfully.

"It's not your fault Sabine, that Leonidas is tough" Kanan comforted.

"Yeah even Zeb couldn't defeat him" Ezra said.

"Hey I almost had him!" a Zeb with head bandages protested.

"Yeah right you hardly landed a blow on him." Ezra said.

"Knock it off you two!" Kanan barked.

"What do we do now?" Sabine asked.

"We were lucky that there was a consolation prize of 25,000 credits for you winning second place." Kanan answered.

"We might as well search the bazaar to see if anyone would be willing to sell it for 25,000 credits" Zeb suggested. Seeing no alternative the group went off to the bazaar.

The bazaar was met with no success in finding the proper power converter for the Ghost. They decided to split up once more, but this time each team consisted of only one person. Sabine spent an hour trying to find the converter but no dice, until she saw Leonidas purchasing a droid shield generator from a vendor with a droid holding a sniper rifle standing next to him. Sabine also took note that he didn't have his helmet on. Leonidas had short blond hair and deep blue eyes, he also had a scar going across his face and a small tattoo of the Mandalorian symbol was on his neck.

"Well if it isn't Sabine Wren." A voice came.

Sabine snapped out of her trance and saw that the voice belonged to Leonidas who was now standing right in front of her with his droid standing next to him.

"Sorry for spying." Sabine apologized.

"Apology accepted." Leonidas said in a gentleman manner.

"Master you know this meatbag?" the droid asked.

"For the last time HK-51 stop calling everyone meatbags." Leonidas ordered sternly.

"Forgive my droid Sabine it was a privilege to face you in the finals." Leonidas said while extending his hand.

Sabine shook it and asked "What were you purchasing from that vendor?"

"Not that it's any of your business, but I was purchasing an HK-51 shield generator for 25k." Leonidas explained.

"25k!?" Sabine exclaimed.

"HK parts are hard to come by, I was shocked that the Ortolan sold it to me that cheap."

"Is it worth it?" Sabine asked now rather curious about Leonidas and his droid.

"Oh it's worth it, an HK unit is far superior to any astromech or assassin droid, and it can kill a Jedi in the blink of an eye." Leonidas continued now fully absorbed into the conversation. Sabine cringed a bit at the killing Jedi part of his explanation.

"I take it that you are friends with a Jedi?" Leonidas asked.

"How did you know?" Sabine asked.

"The expression on your face said it all." Leonidas explained.

The two Mandalorian warriors enjoyed their conversation, and for a moment, forgot that their galaxy was enslaved by an evil Empire. Sabine failed to notice how much time had passed since their conversation begun and was interrupted by her comlink went off.

"Sabine," Kanan's voice rang out of the comlink," where are you, we were supposed to regroup an hour ago?"

"I'm on my way" Sabine said into the comlink.

"I'm sorry but I have to leave" Sabine sadly stated.

"May I ask one more question?" Leonidas asked.

"Fire away." Sabine said.

"What is a pretty flower like you doing on a planet like this?" Sabine was taken aback by his compliment but answered his question.

"Our power converter for the engine was damaged by an Imperial TIE fighter," Sabine explained," and we need a new one but it costs 50K."

"I'll pay for it on one condition." Leonidas said. Sabine was excited on the inside.

"What is your condition?" She asked.

"That I can join your crew and fight those buckethead imperials."
