COMPLETE CREDIT FOR MAIN IDEA GOES TO 'SPACE OPERA SINGER'
ENJOY
The ghost crew were on a mission to go pick up these supplies from Sriluur from a group of Weequay's, this species were known for their deception so when trading you need to be very careful. It was going to be a easy mission pick up these supplies and then deliver them back to vizago with the credits he provided, it was hard to understand why vizago could not just do this himself but no questions were asked since the crew needed credits.
The ship had just come out of hyperspace and now into the atmosphere of Sriluur.
"Hera and zeb stay on the ship, Sabine and Ezra come with me" said Kanan
The crew nodded and dispersed to their own areas.
Hera landed the ship and sat down for a drink, Kanan, Sabine and Ezra opened the landing platform and made their way off the ship. It was going to be a short walk to the meeting point. Kanan was wondering what these supplies were and why vizago would pay someone else to go get them for him but he pushed the thought to the back of his mind.
Once the the three arrived at the meeting point, four Weequay's greeted them
"We assume you are getting these for vizago?" One Weequay asked
The three nodded
"Well, my name is Hondo and may I ask you, do you know what are in these crates?"
"No, we were not informed…" Kanan said cautiously
"Oh I see…Well my friends, what we have in these crates are death sticks and a lot of them"
Kanan and Sabine gasped because they knew how bad death sticks were for people. Ezra was just keeping back.
"Well, here are the credits and we will just take the crates and make our way back" Sabine said quickly
"Not so fast, my friends, how do we know you don't work for the empire?" Hondo said
"We don't, can u not tell?" Sabine said with a hint of annoyance in her voice
"We can't be too sure these days you see…" Hondo said, while the other three Weequay's started sniggering in the back, this caught kanan's attention.
"what do you want?!" Kanan demanded
"Don't you see, you need to have one death stick to show us that you are, who you say you are" Hondo said with a smirk on his face
Sabine and Kanan looked at each other, completely shocked because they knew death sticks could take months off your life by just having one, but they knew what they had to do
"No deal!" Kanan said pointing a finger in Hondo's face, Kanan was annoyed by this because they were going to get a fair few credits for this job but he was not going to let any of his team, any of his family take the disgusting substance.
"Oh, well now we are in an awkward situation because as far as we know, you must be imperials so we have no other choice…" Hondo said signalling to the other three Weequay's to get their weapons out.
All of a sudden Ezra walks up and says "for the love of force" and before either Sabine or Kanan could stop the young padawan, he grabbed one of the colourful tubes, popped the top off and drank all of it. "Happy? Now give us the crates" Ezra said assertively
"Boy, you surprise me, few can do that so quickly…the crates are all yours" Hondo said
Kanan grabbed Ezra's shoulder and pulled him back, giving him a deadly glare "You. On the ship now" Ezra had his head down, not looking at his disapproving master and started walking slowly back to the ship, feeling a bit dazed.
Kanan and Sabine snatched the crates, continually glaring at the Weequay's.
ON THE SHIP
Kanan grabbed Ezra's shoulders and pushed him back against the wall, Ezra's head still looking down.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" Kanan shouted, "LOOK AT ME!"
Ezra lifted his head
Showing Ezra's paler face and the once electric blue eyes now we're very light blue, almost grey.
"EZRA!"
"w…w…we…needed…credits…" Ezra mumbled
"EZRA! THESE HORRIBLE SUBSTANCES TAKE MONTHS OFF YOUR LIFE AND REDUCES YOUR CONNECTION TO THE FORCE! I CANT BELIEVE YOU JUST DID THAT, THAT WAS SO RECKLESS! CREDITS COME AFTER OUR TEAMS LIVES, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!"
"I'm…im used…to it…" Ezra said quietly
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!"
"How else do you think I survived on the streets for 8 years! I needed some form of credits, and drug testing was a high paying job, you name it, I've probably tried it" Ezra said
Kanan was shocked by this, he knew the kid went through a lot but he never thought drug testing was even a consideration for him, how much harm has this kid done to his body Kanan wondered
But before Kanan could yell at Ezra again, Ezra just had his eyes on zeb and kept saying "so fluffy" the kid looked to dazed, he started walking over to zeb and was just holding him. Ezra then kept talking to chopper asking "can I meet your parents? I bet they're really nice people" and was just rolling on the floor. Kanan was getting so angry, his cheeks were almost red and his face was full of frustration.
"Kanan, continue yelling at the kid when the drug has worn off" Sabine said
"And when exactly is that going to be?!" Kanan asked with anger in his voice
"Most likely a day" Sabine replied
Kanan just stood, staring at his high padawan.
