It is night in the streets of a city of Lothal everything is quiet, the inhabitants sleep without worrying about what is happening around them. When suddenly blaster fire was heard. Sabine, wearing her helmet, runs from roof to roof to escape blaster fire, being chased by stormtroopers shooting at her, but missing her every time.
Either because of his reflex or because of obstacle. Then trying to shoot at one of them she did not see another stormtrooper who had climbed onto the top of one of the buildings next to the one she was on and pulled her on her foot making her lose her balance and fall from the building before landing on the ground. And to be targeted by all stormtroopers giving him no chance to escape.
"We hold you finally, rebel." Says a stormtrooper catching his communicator to warn his superiors of Sabine's capture.
Suddenly a strange noise was heard behind them. Like the sound of an object going so fast that persists the air in its path.
"What is it ?" Said a stormtrooper targeting Sabine with her blaster.
"I don't know." Said Sabine.
Suddenly around them flashes of red light around them circling. The stormtroopers shoot the lights but nothing and do. A vibrant black silhouette with bright red eyes was visible staring at Sabine for a few seconds before disappearing into the lights that passed in front of all the stormtroopers collapsing on the floor the neck kissing. The figure arrived in front of Sabine with a notebook that he put in front of her before leaving leaving a train of light visible for a second. As she pulled off her helmet revealing a shocking look on her face.
She opened the notebook and saw the letters Aurebesh beside each of them a letter of an alphabet she did not know.
She looked on the wall next to her to see a message written with a painting in the letter on the notebook. She looked at the letters and then compared them to each letter in the notebook and used the basic letter to translate the message saying : "we'll meet Again".
"What was that? " She thought before putting on her helmet and quickly leaving for the Ghost.
Once arrived she was greeted by Kanan who was obviously waiting for him.
"What were you doing Sabine?" he asked the Mandalorian.
"There is a rumor going on right now in the streets of Lothal on a red flash, attacking the empire. I wanted to investigate. Find who or what created them. He could help Kanan." Said Sabine explaining why she came out.
"But as you said it's just a rumor. This is not necessarily true." Said Kanan.
"I don't think." whispered Sabine, thinking of the figure she saw through the lights, wondering what had happened.
She goes back to her quarters to study the notebook in more detail until she memorizes each letter until she falls asleep.
Outside the name away from the ship the vibrant, shiny red-eyed figure observed the ship with what could be seen as a smile on her face.
"We'll meet soon crew of the ghost ... I promise you." Said the silhouette with a distorted voice giving it a serious and imposing appearance before heading back to the city leaving behind a trail of red light.
A week later Kanan sits on top of the ship in flight with Zeb and Chopper close to him, watching Ezra standing on his hands vertically with difficulty.
"You have to concentrate and let go." Kanan told Ezra.
"In this situation I prefer to take hold." Ezra said with difficulty.
"Quite joking. Concentrate. Do, or do not. There is no try." Kanan instructs Ezra.
"What ? What do you mean ? How can I do something if I do not even try." Ezra said trying to hold on one hand without losing balance.
"Well, actually ... I've always had a hard time grasping the subtlety, but Master Yoda used to say that phrase all the time." Kanan said before Zeb started yawning.
"I thought your little jedi tricks would be more interesting. No wonder there are no more." Zed said approaching Ezra. "Go take a little walk. Use the force." he said, loosing Ezra's balance, causing him to fall into the box just behind him.
"We have to endure it." Ezra asked.
"It is annoying, and your attention will always be turned away. But you have to concentrate despite that. Go do another exercise." Kanan said, taking his lightsaber and giving it to Ezra.
Meanwhile, Sabine, standing on one of the gunner's posts, looked at the notebook, wondering why this mysterious silhouette gave her.
"It's the way he wanted me to give it to me. Why ?" She thought when suddenly she heard something hit the window. She looked up from the notebook to see Ezra slipping and falling.
"Ezra! " she cried anxiously.
The ship eventually dipped so that Kanan could catch up with the force allowing Zeb to catch it. Sabine heard them arguing but her attention was quickly taken by the notebook that has a kosher paper in the back cover. She took it and saw it inscribed in the letters in the notebook: "I watch over you. I hope that when the time comes, you will do the same for me."
She wondered why this figure had given him that. Or what she heard with that word. When her thoughts were interrupted by a voice coming from behind her.
"What are you looking at? " Said the voice making Sabine turn to see Zeb.
"Oh it's nothing Zeb. " She answered, hiding as best as she could the notebook.
Zeb had trouble believing it may have decided not to insist. Sabine wants to unravel the mystery of this silhouette before talking to the crew. She joined the whole crew that had also Hera, in the main hall before seeing on a holographic table that he talks about his night getaway.
"A squad of Stormtrooper was found dead by the neck breaking last night. According to the inhabitants of the latter who were able to attend the scene because wake up by the blaster sounds made during the pursuit, they chased a rebel he had at their mercy before red lightning appeared around them and that it does not end up crumbling by their broken neck. If you have any information about its so-called enlightenment please inform the authorities." said the presenter.
"You did not tell me about that." said Kanan, looking at Sabine before whom the holographic table shows the portrait of a black man wearing orange clothes.
"Here the exiled Senator Gall Trayvis. I come to tell you news that the empire does not want you to learn." Said the person depicting on the image that visibly hack into the empire's communication system.
"Is this Gall Trayvis?" Ezra asked.
"The only member of the Senate who has the courage to speak publicly against the empire." Said the Twilek.
"One of the Republic's greatest mediators, the Jedi Master Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, is alive and illegally imprisoned somewhere in the Stygeon system. As a citizen we summon the emperor to present Master Unduli and give him a fair trial in the presence of the Senate." Said the senator before his transmission was cut off and Sabine turned off the holographic table.
"This Luminara did you know her?" Ezra asked Kanan.
"I met him only once. He was a great master jedi. Courageous, compassionate, disciplined. To tell the truth she would make for you an excellent teacher. Rumor has it that she survived Order 66, but that's the first piece of information that says where she is. This is a unique opportunity." Kanan said to Ezra's surprise.
"I knew you would say that." Said the twilek as she leaves towards the control room.
"As for you, get ready for the operation. " Kanan says as everyone leaves in their respective quarters.
An hour later in Sabine prison wearing his helmet and Zeb are in the halls beating all the stormtrooper on their way for the moment Ezra and Kanan would come back with Master Luminara. But to their surprise in the hangar where the ship lands, where there was to be the most they were all lying on the dead floor with the silhouette holding the last alive by the neck to one hand with a plug with a machine draw on in the other.
"Where all you know about this machine." He said in his voice distort threatening the Stormtrooper.
Zeb was surprised to see all the soldiers killed by obviously one person, but Sabine was even more so because she recognized this person. They wonder what they were talking about so he stays hidden and discreet looking at them and listening.
" Alright Alright. What I do know is that the empire is building a prototype of this device thanks to a search that happened just a month ago on Lothal the prototype does not succeed because it lacks a sufficiently talented technician and meticulous for properly assembled components make the particles unstable and exploding with each test. I learned all this because up until a week ago, I was in the security department from where it was made. Please do not kill me ! " Said the stormtrooper frightened by the man and the idea.
"Very good that you have been cooperative, I will let you save your life. But I warn you if you warn your colleagues where top of our conversation, I will kill you. It's clear ? " Said the man what the stormtrooper nodded before the man dropped the plug and hit him hard enough to knock him out.
Sabine then decided to leave her hiding place despite Zeb's silent protests and spoke to the man.
"Why did you save me last night? " Sabine asked.
The man literally moved in a flash always with a red light trainer visible for a second in front of Sabine causing her to jump while Zeb stamped him with his weapon while Sabine signaled him to lower it. The man then placed his left hand on Sabine's right shoulder, which felt a slight vibration.
"Because the works speak more than words. Yours more than others. They sweat artistic freedom and above all... " Said the man withdrew his hand from Sabine's shoulder. "Because we are fighting for the same thing" He finished lowering the vibration effect in his voice giving it a more human look.
The man left and in a second took a ship and left the prison leaving Sabine and Zeb surprised by the capabilities of the man. Sabine took the card reveal a circular device with four branch equipped with system to hang on to anything. Suddenly they hear Kanan and Ezra running being chased by the grand inquisitor. Once inside the Kanan shed, Ezra closes the door to enter the shed and breaks the opening system. As the Inquisitor forces the door with his lightsaber Kanan and Ezra heads to the main door of the shed opened by the man before leaving with his ship. They all leave for the Ghost and leave the system to return to Lothal.
"Master Luminara?" Hera asked.
"Gone, we'll have to find a way to spread the word." Kanan replied
"How's Ezra taking it?" Hera asked.
"Not as bad as I am .. I guess he's stuck with me." Kanan says
Once arrived on Lothal Ezra exit Ghost closely followed by Kanan.
"For now." Kanan said.
"Look, do not bother saying it. I'm letting you off the hook." Ezra said.
"What are you talking about?" Kanan asked
"I know you want to dump me on Luminara, just 'cause she's gone does not mean you're stuck with me." Ezra replied.
"I do not want to dump you, look, I just wanted you to have the best teacher." Kanan explained.
"Well, I do not want the best teacher, I want you." Ezra said before realizing the meaning of his sentence. "Not that you're not the best." he said before being interrupted
"Ezra. I'm not gonna try to teach you anymore. If all I do is try, means clustering That I can not believe I Can Succeed. So from now on, I will teach you." Kanan said surprising Ezra. "Look, I can fail, but there is no try." he finished.
"I understand, Master." Ezra said as he and Kanan got up to resume training while Kanan handed him his lightsaber.
Sabine's side read the sheet that gave him the man and learned that if this device is put on a hyperdrive he can move in hyperspace at least 10 times faster than the speed of light. She then went on the field to talk to the others in order to establish a plan to grab the device to finish it.
On the side of the empire in the zone where the apparatus is built an explosion was heard. While two imperial officer approaches the person who accidentally cause the explosion. One was thin and the other was wrapped and looked at the worker who was on the ground and frightened by their potential reaction.
"You realize it's the thirtieth time that you've blown up one this week." Said the skinny officer.
"I'm sorry I'll apply more." Said the kneeling, imploring the pardon of the two workers.
"It was the one of too much. You're now released." The enraged officer said as stormtrooper approached and escorted him violently towards the exit of the building.
"It's no wonder then that the mechanic keeps changing every two weeks if you fired him every time he goes out a bunch of times." Said a voice from behind the officers.
They turn around to see a man looking like a 19-year-old man in a rolling trench controlled with a long-haired, white-backed, long-haired controller with heterochromia. The right eye is black but the other Azure, he wears glasses a black T-shirt and beige trousers, and a black bag with a single pocket.
"Mr. Zolomon, he missed the assembly of your Tachyon generator at least a good hundred times that deserves a reference to his incompetence." Said the skinny officer looking down at him with a hint of fear in his eyes knowing what he could say where to go despite being tetraplegic.
"If I still had the use of my leg, both of them would screw up and the little one who is serving as your reproductive device will be already begging for the pain that my knee is going to give them. You fired people without my approval while I am the leader of this work and this service, knowing that it is me who is established the formula which will give you a considerable advantage on the rebels. I could talk to the Minister or Grand Moff Tarkin about your attitude that could delay launching the prototype because at the latest news none of the new people hire has any knowledge of the causes of the failures of the previous candidates." Said Zolomon to the two officers showing a great deal of self-consciousness and who has the most power here.
Zolomon approached the technician who came and took a handful of credit from his satchel and gave it to him.
"Here, hope it helps you for later." Zolomon said.
" Thank you sir." Says the technician gains a pat on Zolomon's loving arm before being taken back by their stormtrooper again.
The service door opens revealing a white imperial agent with hair and blond beard and brown eyes entered the room.
"Monsieur zolomon, you asked to see me?" The agent asked.
"Yes agent Kallus. I wish you could race for me. Do not you mind, I hope?" Said Zolomon respectfully to the imperial agent.
"Of course what is she?" Kallus politely agreed.
"I need more material for the prototype. And seen that his idiots are unable to do a proper maintenance of the dog for competent people or to be tactful. I want a talk deprived with the new candidates and choose myself seen that they are more talented to fired people than hired them. Circulate a search ad from a technician everywhere." Zolomon said before leaving for his private quarters.
