Authors note: After having recently finished my trilogy 'Seeking a partner to be stranded with' I decided to take another shot at the Star Wars Rebels Universe. However in my typical fashion as I did with the trilogy I finished this will also be one to test the reader's patience. For those unfamiliar with my work or the trilogy I spoke of I took two female characters and paired them up…got much frowns from that but managed to gather a following of readers and optimists. This will take the characters you love and switch it all around. Ages won't be the same and there will be some slight variances to their characters.
Zeb is an Agent of the Rebellion who works mostly by himself. Ezra goes by Ezri and is a girl. Sabine is part of a near extinct race of species known as 'Togatoyan' made up by me. Hera is secretly dating Fulcrum, aka Ahsoka. And Kanan…he is a casa nova playboy Jedi. The Inquisitor is female. Please no flames, if you are not open to this and what may come please avert your eyes or click another story, please don't voice your disgust to me through reviews I am not forcing anyone to read this. Those still here great…oh and another thing…the crew of the Ghost does not know each other…so yes this will read au.
STAR WARS REBELS: Space on crack
CH.1: Agent undercovers
Zeb groaned as the guy under him moved against his body…his mind splintering in intense pleasure before he collapses atop him. This was just one of the perks of working undercover…a little dirty play before work officially began. The guy under him was sweating profusely and he imagined he didn't do this too often…with his species he imagined. "You look all worn out…care to go again?"
"No I'm fine Zeb…I have places to be…if I can make it out of bed in one in one piece," the man noted with a teasing smile.
"Yeah well…next time I promise it will be somewhere not rat infested like this joint. Tell me how goes the smuggling line of work?" Zeb got off him and let him shirk the covers off showing off his fit body as he searched for his clothes scattered about from their night together.
"It goes well…though with all the Imperial activity it is getting much harder to keep things from being spotted. There are only so many ways you can disguise a ship or its registry number before someone boards ya. It is a good thing though I have yet to be caught. Still I ponder on getting out while I'm ahead…what do you think?"
Zeb shrugs his shoulders as he had been too lost in the many identities he had taken over the years. He was getting close to knowing the details of Agent Kallus and his private network. If he could get information regarding Rebel cells he could send them in another direction. Looking over at his dark colored lover he bites his bottom lip drinking him all in.
Lando Calrissian…smuggler and Rebel rouser who stirred up as much trouble as he did getting one out of that fine mess. He traveled in a ship called the Falcon and did deals with anyone who would hire his service…which in these days and age was really needed. Lando and him met sometime back while he was working under a different alias…after checking the Corellian out at a party the stokes of some flame were ignited and the two found a spare room. Zeb had known he liked guys for quite some time, the females never did it for him…his key as it were never stood ready to unlock the mysteries of their body…some mysteries were better off left unsolved.
"I think you should do what you are good at…enjoy getting chased, a good lay, grab some alcoholic beverage and put on a straight act and then you will have your answer. Now get out of here before I take you there."
Lando smirked at him as he finished dressing throwing a cape around his shoulders and heading out. Zeb lies there for a bit longer waiting till he is gone before he rubs at his eyes. The years were really starting to show on his body and his mental state as each day he questioned who he was. Lando had found out who he was but instead of tell on him he kept his secret. It made what they had go strong all these years without ever getting attached to the other romantically.
"Time to go to work…ugh…I shiver to think of a day when I will be out of a job." Zeb dresses and heads out.
Garazeb, though he went by Zeb now thrived on chaos and smashing Stormtrooper helmets against each other, why…cause it had a nice ring to it. Ever since he was given this assignment he had been working his way through the ranks…getting close as he could to Agent Kallus, a trusted upper officer of sorts who danced around orders given from the top. Having played his cards right and with a little intel from his companion he now knew Agent Kallus would be at the central platform giving a speech.
He was one of the last of his kind, tall and formidable he struck fear into those who did not push his incredible height. In a fight it usually went his way…but if it didn't he was always up for a little tussle. The central platform was being set up and Zeb was hiding on his person a weapon he had used once as part of the honor guard back on Lasan. There were still others out there from his home world though if they existed out there…they weren't looking for a reunion of sorts.
Thinking of home and what those Imperials did really sicken him. As a crowd began to gather he kept his guard up. Agent Kallus soon appeared to the clapping of those of Lothal…they were quite eager to hear what he had to say…he bet.
"Greetings…I know all of you are wondering what I am doing here…and the answer is to offer safety and to provide you with all the nourishment you shall ever need. What do you need to do you ask, well, quite simple really…join the Empire and let Lothal be just one of many worlds under our protection."
Zeb could see that happening…not. These were farmers; people who worked in crowded markets, the Empire would rather burn it to the ground than use it for resources. Agent Kallus, ha, he had every reason to kill him where he stood.
It was this location where he would capture him, yeah went against everything he stood for but he needed the list…and he needed aboard his destroyer as he would likely not carry it on his person. "I would like to join…sign me up…though I'd like to see what this Empire of yours has to offer these fair people."
Zeb made sure his voice was heard…to bring question to their lives. Most of them were here on account of the continuing struggle to keep from fading away up there in the war. Agent Kallus looked at him curiously…wondering his angle…being an Agent he was sure he could think of many. Right now though due to his questioning him others would so too. He never considered himself a leader…just someone who did a job and got paid.
"Very well…you have an hour…then you will tell these people that we can offer them protection." Zeb nods his head pushing through the crowd and joins up with Angent Kallus as they make it to the docking bay. There are several troopers by the shuttle and Zeb hears the door close behind him with a clang.
"I take it you want to dance huh?" Zeb withdrew his weapon and as troopers aimed their weapons as well Agent Kallus held up a hand.
"Hold your weapons…I will deal with the brute myself. If it is a dance you want…it shall be a dance you won't soon forget." Kallus held out a hand and he was tossed…no…it was the very same weapon he had.
"Nooooo!" He gripped his own weapon remembering the day he had got it…the weapon Kallus held was practically identical.
"Yes you recognize it…I was beginning to wonder if my reports were right about a Lasat being among the people. For one your size you have quite the difficulty blending in. I killed the owner of this weapon…yes…and it was truly an invigorating fight. The Emperor knows some escaped from your home world and much like the Jedi…they are being hunted down. Shall I add you to the list?"
Zeb lost it then as he raced at him bringing his weapon to bear right into his. The two of them clashed as they kept up each parry and stroke like they were memorizing a dance from long ago. The two were sweating and Zeb grunted as he took a hit to his jaw and fell to his butt.
"You are going to pay for this…I swear it!" Zeb rose and continued his fury of swings not intending to back down. Hardly any energy was lost from his time with Lando to now and he swiped at Kallus drawing blood from his face.
"Most impressive…but see that you don't bore me too much. I have plans to carry out…like taking over Lothal." Kallus grinned and then he raced at him. Once again they resumed their hated combat till Zeb got in over his head and lost control of his weapon as it was torn from his grip. A few thumps from the weapon Kallus bore against him and he was down on his knees catching his breath.
"You won't get away with it…the people…won't let you…" Zeb thought of his conversation with Lando and thought if he had handed the mission to someone younger…this might not have ended this way.
"Hmm…only time will tell…but you won't be seeing any of it. Would be a shame though to waste you here…I am in need of a pet to wet my appetite…take him to my quarters. Looks like your species may have some uses after all."
Zeb felt the troopers grab him and carry him off. He would prefer being dead to what fate awaited him. As for the people of Lothal…maybe someone out there would heed the call in continuing his mission.
Authors note: I am not sure anything like this has been done before on the site, but, I figured I would go for different. Anyway next chapter we meet up with Fem Ezra, Ezri for short and her upbringing on Lothal and her parents are very much alive and will present some of the family dynamic in this story. Ezri will have struggles and trying to come into her own is never easy in a guy dominated world.
