Burning Desire
Chapter 1
I've been trying to think of how I wanted this story to play out. I'm trying it with this and if anyone has any ideas for this. I need ideas because I've had writer's block for months. I need ideas for anything I can get. I do not own Star Wars Rebels. It is owned by Disney. I also don't own two of the characters who are will be in the future chapters. They are rightfully owned by CCougar42709. Read, enjoy, and review.
It's been a year since the Ghost crew joined the rebellion alliance. They had become a valuable part of the fleet and have given the rebellion as many advantages as possible.
On Cato Neimoidia, the youngest of the crew: Ezra and Sabine along with droid Chopper were gathering information on what plans the Empire has for prisoners of rebels who were captured by the Empire. Ezra stood guard by the door while Sabine and Chopper were at the computers.
Ezra looked to the two. "How we doing? Anything useful."
"Turns out there's going to be a shipment of wookie prisoners that are scheduled to arrive in about a week. We need to get this info to the rebellion ASAP. Otherwise those wookies won't last a day. Chopper! Copy and encrypt that information now!"
The droid responded and did as he was told. After he was done, Ezra looked to the sides before saying, "All clear. Let's get moving."
Sabine nodded and the three began making a run for the exit door.
They made their way to the roof tops and jumped into an alleyway.
Then to their dismay, Ezra and Sabine noticed the shadows of Stormtroopers heading toward them. They knew they would spot them if didn't do something quick. Ezra began to shift his gaze from the Mandalorian and the approaching troopers. The boy took action that he hoped he wouldn't soon regret just as Sabine began to speak.
"Ezra what do we- Mmmmph." The Mandalorian was cut off by the Lothal boy pulling her to him and bringing his lips to hers. She just stood there stunned as the Stormtroopers stopped in front of the alley. The troopers looked in their direction, looking for a couple of seconds before walking off to continue their patrol.
After looking to make sure they were gone, Ezra pulled back before saying, "Looks like their gone."
SLAP!
Ezra held his red cheek as Chopper began laughing and Sabine glared at the boy. "What was that about!"
"Sorry Sabine. I just had to something quick before we got their full attention."
Sabine's glare began to soften as she took a deep breath. "Whatever. Let's just hurry up and get back to the phantom."
The girl pulled her helmet on and began to walk off with the boy and droid following close behind. Chopper still chuckled as Ezra groaned at the droid.
After about half an hour of avoiding the attention of any patrol groups, the group finally spotted the Phantom on a landing platform. "We're almost home free."
"Leaving so soon?"
The voice the two knew very well caused them to spin around with Ezra activating his lightsaber and Sabine pulling out her pistols. There stood the smirking inquisitor known as the Seventh Sister with a group of Stormtroopers with her. She activated her revolving lightsaber her mask covered her face. "The party's just begun."
With that the Stormtroopers began to open fire as the Inquisitor charged and crossed blades with Ezra. Sabine took cover and began to return fire as Chopper made his way to the ship. Ezra pushed away from his foe before he began to fire. The Seventh Sister simply blocked the blasts with her revolving blades as she was forced to give Ezra ground. Ezra ran towards before he stopped firing and reactivating his lightsaber and began trading blows with her again. The Seventh Sister swung a side slash with Ezra blocking it. Ezra pushed back and swung at her head only for her to deflect it and kicking him back to gain some ground. She then charged and the two held a lock with their weapons. The inquisitor's mask deactivated as she smirked at the boy. "You've improved since we last fought."
She then broke the lock and attempted to swing at him as he flipped to dodge the strike. Ezra held his lightsaber with both hands as he said, "Like the old saying. 'Practice makes perfect.'"
With Sabine, she continued to trade fire with the Stormtroopers as she looked to Chopper who was taking cover. "Chopper! Get to the ship and prepare it for takeoff! I'll cover you!" The droid was about to argue before a blaster shot struck his cover. The droid then made his way to the Phantom before entering.
Right as Sabine turned to continue firing, three shots struck her: one in the arm, second in the chest plate, and the final in the forehead of her helmet.
Ezra watched as his friend fell to the ground. "Sabine!"
The Seventh Sister chuckled as she watched the motionless Mandalorian lay there. "Don't worry. You'll be joining her soon."
Ezra growled before he sent her back with a powerful force push. He then glared at the Stormtroopers before using the force to chunk them over the edge with nearby crates. He then turned to see the Seventh Sister charging at him. He deactivated his lightsaber before he let out a scream of rage and, to her surprise, shot a stream of lightning from his hands and sent her to the ground stunned.
Ezra regained his piece of mind before he picked up his friend bridal style and made a run into the Phantom. "Chopper get us out of here!"
The droid did as he was told as Ezra opened some of the chairs to put Sabine on.
The Seventh Sister sat up and watched in frustration as the ship took off. She rose to her feet and pulled up her wrist com. "Agent Callus! Inform the troops to prepare my ship. I'll be returning to the Star Destroyer to inform Lord Vader that the rebels have escaped."
"Acknowledged Inquisitor."
Meanwhile the Phantom had just entered light speed as Ezra took off Sabine's helmet and began to treat and wrap her injured arm. "Chopper. Set it to autopilot. Take a break to recharge. I'll take over after I treat Sabine's wound."
The droid responded in acceptance before moving to the side to power down.
Just as Ezra finished tending to her arm, Sabine began to stir as she woke up.
"Take it easy. You've been through a rough fight."
Sabine smiled as she held her arm and said, "I've been through worse don't worry. Thanks for saving me back there."
"No problem. You would have done the same for me. Now get some rest, I'll pilot the rest of the way to the fleet."
He stood up and headed to the pilot's chair.
"Ezra?"
The boy turned back to the girl as she said, "I'm sorry about hitting you earlier. What you did was actually a pretty smart move."
The boy smiled as he said, "It's okay. Now like I said, get some rest. We'll get you to the med bay once we get back to the fleet."
The girl smiled as she nodded and laid back down to sleep.
Ezra sat in the pilot's chair and as he watched hyperspace go by, one thought came to his mind. 'How did I do that lightning? Maybe Kanan and Ahsoka will know.'
About an hour later, the Phantom came out of light speed and docked with the Ghost along with the command ship. Ezra opened the hatch to find Kanan and Hera waiting for them. "Kanan get Chopper to Ahsoka. He has the information we need for the next shipment of prisoners."
The older jedi nodded and led the droid to the command bridge. Ezra then turned to Hera and said, "Help me get Sabine to the medical bay."
The two held her up and began to lead her to the medical center. Ezra looked to the Twi'lek and said, "After he gets done filling Ahsoka in, ask them to meet me in my bunker."
Hera looked confused as Sabine asked, "What's up Ezra?"
He looked to the girl they were leading as he said, "Something happened after you were knocked out. I did something with the force I've never done before. I just want to know what it means."
Hera nodded to the boy. "Alright. I'll let them know. I have something to talk about with both of you later anyway."
Ezra nodded as the three reached the medical bay and led Sabine inside.
Meanwhile on a Star Destroyer in another system, Darth Vader was transmitting with the Seventh Sister. "I apologize Lord Vader. The rebels escaped with whatever information they downloaded."
"We will discuss your failure at another time. The Emperor wishes to contact me."
"As you wish my lord. Inquisitor out!"
The transmission ended right before Vader bowed on one knee and the transmitter desk activated again. The Emperor appeared as Vader asked, "What is thy bidding my master?"
"I have seen a glimpse of what is to come. We will soon have another world to target and another chance to rid ourselves of the rebels."
"What must I do to prepare us for this matter."
The Emperor grinned as he said, "There will be two allies we will need. I have already contacted one of them and he is on route to meet you. The other is in our main prison chamber ship. You will present this as a chance to redeem himself."
"Are you sure we should allow him to roam free once again."
The Emperor chuckled as he said, "Though years have passed and he has been prisoner since the Clone Wars, he will do anything to become part of our forces again."
Vader bowed his head as he replied, "As you wish my master."
The transmission ended and Vader walked out of the chamber. "Captain. Prepare to set a new course."
"To where my lord?"
"To our prison vessel orbiting the planet of Kamino."
The captain saluted and moved to do as ordered.
Vader watched as the ship entered light speed with only one thought on his mind. 'I hope my master knows what he's doing asking for his help.'
Here you go. This is the first chapter for a story I have had bad writer's block on. How is Ezra doing these new abilities. And who are these allies that Vader and the Emperor are bringing in? Stay tuned.
