Hey guys, this is a sequel to 'Leave the Past Behind' so if you haven't read it I suggest you do so the chapters will make more sense. And stay tuned for a short story with a bunch of short stories in them!


It was a warm, clear night on Naboo, perfect conditions for a celebration on another Imperial accomplishment. All of the people of Theed were forcefully gathered to cheer at the Imperial parade-a part of the celebration. The cause of the celebration to the people was unknown, all of the people except for five individuals that is.

The five individuals were attending the parade and the Imperial Gala under the disguise of Imperial Agents and Senators. Rumors were spreading in the Rebellion that the Imperials had created a new weapon that would give them an advantage in the unfair war between good and evil. So the five were there to gather Intel and leave without being noticed. But someone else was there that would make things a lot more complicated.

Nobody's POV

A small cloaked figure darted through the streets in the shadows, making her way to the parade. She slipped pass the Imperials and hid among the throng of people, going out of her way to stay away from Soldiers. She glanced around, making calculations and additions to the plan she had created. It would be a miracle if she could pull this crazy stunt off but lucky for her, even if things went south she had her instincts and solid back up plans to hopefully guide her away from any danger.

She started to review the plan in her head for the countless time when she jumped at the sound of 66 blanks. She was late. The figure had been to enough of these celebrations to know that the blaster fire from Imperial Agents signaled the end of the parade. She joined the people in a fake, thunderous applause and as soon as the crowds started to disperse she ducked back into the shadows and adjusted her cloak hiding a loose, silky, black dress. It was time to start this insane plan.

Ezra's POV

It was two weeks ago that Ahsoka had told us that Empire was creating a new super weapon that could destroy a lot of things. Rumors were spreading about how the Empire was working on a weapon that could destroy small planets. So one week ago Ahsoka gave us the op and now we're standing in the crowd watching the parade and going over every last detail to the plan Kanan threw together.

"Remember, I'm an Imperial Agent attending the Gala with Dev Morgan who is the top Cadet at the Imperial Academy on Lothal. Hera is a Senator from Humbarine called Kailee and she is here with Nolan who is Kailee's guard and Jana who is the top Cadet at the Imperial Academy on Mandaloria." Kanan reminded us.

"The only difference between my disguise and yours, kid, is that mine is more believable." Sabine crossed her arms and looked at me.

"Hey, I was a Cadet at the Imperial Academy for a while!" I protested.

"That's enough you two." Hera scolded.

Everyone except for Kanan and Hera jumped at the sound of the blanks. Kanan cringed like the blasters were shooting him. "Let's just get this over with." He muttered.

So we all followed the rest of the Imperials, or what Zeb and I like to call them, Very "Important" Buckets. We all walked into a giant room where Imperials were chatting and congratulating each other for the creation their "great" Empire has made.

"Alright, let's go make some friends." Kanan whispered to the rest of us. Then Kanan and Hera strolled off, talking to each other casually. Sabine walked off and started talking to a Sullustan woman and man from what I guessed was her husband. That just left Zeb and I awkwardly standing in the entrance.

"Well I'm not going to stand 'ere like a fool," Zeb grumbled "I'm going to get something to eat." And he disappeared into the crowd.

I stood there for a few minutes when a lady out of the corner of my eye was waving her hands, gesturing for me to come over. She was in a big red dress. I looked behind me and concluded that she was talking to me. So I cautiously walked over to her and another woman.

"Cadet, what's your name?" The woman in the red dress inquired.

Remembering what Kanan had told me I replied. "My name is Dev Morgan, ma'am." I did a small bow because it seemed like the right thing to do.

"I'm Adina and this is my friend, Chaya." The red dress introduced.

"Pleasure to meet you." Chaya was dressed in a flowing blue dress. She held out her hand and I hesitantly shook it.

"Oh, Eitan! Come over here!" Adina shouted over the crowd, waving to a tall man who I guessed was an Imperial Agent.

"What is it, dear?" The man who must be Eitan stopped in front of Adina. By what I could tell from first impressions, Eitan must be Adina's husband.

"Nothing, I just want you to meet a new friend." Adina smiled brightly at me. A new friend? I had just told them my fake name! Now I was a new friend? My anxiety level rose a little bit and I anxiously searched the crowd for Kanan or Hera with no sign of either one.

Just then I realized Eitan, Adina, and Chayla were all looking at me strangely. I must have missed something they said and now I looked like a fool. I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks. "I'm sorry, what did you say?" I sheepishly scratched the back of my neck.

"I said," Eitan started in a gruff voice and I cringed "Where do you attend?"

I straightened up a little bit before replying "The Imperial Academy on Lothal, sir."

Eitan seemed pleased at the formality and lost the cold glare he had before.

"Then you must know all about the weapon there." Chayla smiled. My interest was piqued and I casually tapped the recording device in my sleeve.

"Actually I do not, ma'am. I have been too busy with the upcoming tests."

Adina huffed. "You poor Cadets always are working non-stop. You never get to have any fun anymore."

"Oh, you could tell him about the weapon, Eitan!" Chayla suggested. But Eitan didn't respond. He stood there looking at me, unease started to fill my stomach.

"You look familiar…" Eitan trailed off. The Force rang in my ears screaming about the danger in front of me. It took all of my willpower to stay.

"I –I don't think we've met before." I carefully replied.

Realization and anger filled his eyes as I'm sure fear filled mine. My cover was blown. I had failed. Eitan opened his mouth, probably to reveal my true identity to the Imperial guests, when a smoke bomb went off towards the south side of the room. Guests screamed and the corner of my mouth tugged up in a small smile. Probably Sabi- suddenly a hand grabbed me by my arm and I yelped in surprise.

I was just around the corner from where I was standing before but the hallway I was in was dark. I tried to shout in protest but I realized they only came out as muffled squeaks. Someone with gloves was covering my mouth. My thoughts went to Hera or Sabine, but both of them had removed their gloves for the Gala.

"Shh" the person whispered and I relaxed. Then with the aid of the Force I ducked from their grip and tried to land a blow with my fist but the figure in a black cloak had quick reflexes and quickly ducked to the side. I tried again to land a punch but the figure grabbed my hand just before it reached where I had guessed was their jaw line.

"I'm trying to help you!" The female voice hissed. Her hood had flipped down sometime during the struggle, revealing a blue skinned, baby blue eye T'wilek about my age. She had strips of cloth wrapped around her lekkus and looked more annoyed than scared. She was wearing a black dress so I assumed she also was attending the Gala.

The commotion was rising behind us, Storm Troopers and a few Imperial Agents tried to direct the people away from danger. I needed to go and find everyone and to thank Sabine for the distraction.

Somehow the mysterious girl read my thoughts. "No, if you go in there and try to find your friends now, you'll get lost in the sea of idiots. Now come on. My smoke bomb won't last much longer."

"The smoke bomb was you?!"

"Yeah, now come on. I know a backdoor to get out of here unnoticed."

I started to follow her when a thought came to my head. How could I know I could trust her? "How do I know you're not an Imperial leading me into a trap?"

The girl stopped and rolled her eyes. "Do I look like an Imperial to you?"

She had me there. I nodded my head and followed her through the maze of hallways and wound up at a big opening ten feet above us. How was she going to get up there? But she didn't stop jogging. She leapt up to the opening and held out her hand.

"Need a lift?" she called out.

I answered her by using the Force to leap up next to her. Her eyes widened a bit but she turned and jumped off the opening and onto the roof of another building. I followed her and we ran and jumped from roof to roof, getting farther and farther away from the commotion and possibly my crew…


That's it for chapter one, I thought it was a good place to leave off otherwise I would have to type a lot more and the updates won't be soon. Hope you enjoyed it, just like the first story I always love feedback both positive and negative!
