Chapter 43: Arriving on Nal Hutta
~~~(POV: Nathan Opal)~~~
~~~(Location: Exiting Hyperspace at Nal Hutta)~~~
The ship comes out of hyperspace, and I look down on the green and brown world. This is definitely the homeworld of the Hutts. I sit in my seat, and I bring the ship down. I enter the atmosphere and descend into the city near Fa'athra's Palace. Since this is a neutral world, it's easier to come and go. The world's force signature is polluted and sick like the planet itself. The Hutt species started here, and it's the center of their empire in Hutt Space. I land the ship on a free pad, and I get up from my seat and head towards the back of my ship, where the entrance is.
I use the force to tell the ship to lower the ramp and open the door. It hisses open as I approach, and I descend the ramp. I look around the landing pad and see other ships too. "Kemro is waiting with the other Hutt elders." I hear the voice of who I assume is a bounty hunter. I know he was sent to guide me to the Hutts council chambers. I turn towards him and see him shift slightly. I can feel his nervousness and fear. My reputation proceeds me. I walk to him and nod for him to start taking me there. He turns around without a word, and I follow.
We walk through the city's streets, and the smell is enough to want to make someone leave and never come back. How people can live here is beyond me, and I'm never going to understand it. I follow him, and after a couple of minutes, I get a wave through the force that trouble is coming. I look ahead and see a group of bounty hunters. Kemro has done well keeping the majority away from me, but the dumb ones don't take the threats and warnings seriously. "Hold it right there!" The bounty hunter escorting me stops, and I do the same.
The leader steps out of the group and walks up in front of the group. "You've got a huge bounty on you, Nathan. We'll be taking your dead body to the republic now." I scoff and raise my hand. Before any of them can react. White lightning shoots out of my fingertips and instantly turns them all to dust. They scream for a split second before blowing away in the small breeze. The people are looking on recoil and slowly back away before running away. My powers are more than enough to destroy this world, but I'm not into annihilating worlds.
The bounty hunter doesn't say a word, and we continue walking. After another couple of minutes, we come to a big palace and many guards. They do nothing to stop us, and we enter without any problems. The bounty hunter takes me to the council chambers. "This is as far as I go. I've never met someone who can force a gathering of all the Hutts." I don't respond. My hood hangs low over my face, and he can't make out an expression. He leaves before overstaying his welcome. My robes are grey with a black overcoat. A long hood keeping my face hidden.
I enter the council chambers and see the Hutts gathered in person. Only one isn't here and is using a hologram. I look around the room and see some of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy. "Kemro, this is the infamous Nathan Opal?" One of the Hutts begins talking to Kemro in Huttese. I can understand them thanks to the force. "He doesn't look like much to me! This is a waste of my time!" He tries to turn around, but his body gets stiff, and he begins choking. He lifts off the ground, and I bring him in front of me.
All the Hutts watching are silent and holding their cards close to their chest—the Hutt bursts in a show of gore and fluid. Many of the Hutts react in the way a creature would. Kemro remains calm, though. None of his fluids got on me thanks to my force shield. "Now that he's out of the way. Let's get down to business, shall we?" as I say those words, all the bounty hunters in the room get pinned against the wall. Their armors are cracking and crumbling. A show of domination is needed with Hutts. The only thing they respect is power and credits.
