Hello people! This is my very first fanfiction for Star Wars Rebels so I hope you enjoy the first chapter. The story might be a bit sloppy in the first few chapters since this is my first time writing a fanfic for this category. I will also try to update once a week!

Chapter 1:

Ezra used his lightsaber to block another blaster shot, just as another went right past his head, almost hitting him, making him open his eyes. "Focus Ezra!," his master told him as he continued to block and dodge the lasers.

"You think I'm trying to get hit?!," Ezra argued back closing his eyes again. He then, as he stepped has, tripped over a rock and fell to the ground. Kanan lifted a hand to tell Sabine and Zed to stop shooting and they did, lowering their weapons. He walked up to Ezra and offered him a hand, which he took.

Kanan sighed. "Ezra, remember, you need to trust the force. You can't always rely on your eyes. You never know when you will be fighting somewhere where you can't see. Or even when someone or something might sneak up on you." Zeb spoke up.

"Like me?," he chuckled. Sabine just rolled her eyes at Zeb's comment. Ezra looked down at the ground, his arms crossed.

"I know," he sighed. "I guess today just isn't my day."

"What's going on, Ezra?," Kanan asked his padawan, noticing his behavior. "You've been off all day. So you might as well start talking." Before he could even have a chance to speak, Hera climbed down the ramp of the Ghost and walked up next to Sabine.

"Kanan, Ahsoka is on the line," She said to Kanan. "She wants to talk you you and the rest of us." The Jedi nodded as Sabine and Zeb walked back into the ship

"Well I guess that would be the end of training today," he told Ezra. Ezra looked up at him, nodded, and walked past the two adults as he headed inside the Ghost without saying a single word.

Hera noticed Ezra's strange behavior as well and walked up to Kanan. "What's wrong with him?," she asked him, concerned.

"I have no idea," Kanan responded her question as they headed back inside the ship.

Hera and Kanan entered the cockpit to see the rest of the crew sitting in their chairs and Chopper showing a hologram of Ahsoka. Hera walked up to her chair and sat in to while Kanan stood in front of the hologram. "You wanted to speak with us?," he questioned Ahsoka.

Ahsoka nodded, "Yes. I have an important mission for you and your crew." The whole crew of the Ghost payed close attention to what she was saying. "I need you to pick up a package at the capital city of Lothal. There is a life at risk if the package isn't retrieved before the Empire gets to it."

"And what exactly is this package?," Kanan asked.

"That I can not say. You guys will most likely find out once you have the package itself," she explained to the crew. "I will send you all the information you will need about the package. Once you have the package with you guys return to Phoenix Squadron to deliver it to me. Good luck to you all. And remember a life is at risk." With that she signed off.

"Great! We're going on hunt for a mystery package," Zeb announced. "Can't wait to see what's hiding inside it that makes it so special."

"It could probably be information about a new Imperial weapon or construction," Sabine guessed.

"I doubt that," Zed disagreed with her. Hera checked the datapad.

"Well, whatever it is is must be important enough to need to be inside of a highly guarded Imperial storage," she said as she read the information that they were given on the datapad.

They all turned their attention to Hera as she continued to read. "Any info on what the package is?," Sabine asked her. Hera shook her head.

"No," she responded. "Only about where it is, how it got there, and how long it's been there."

"Maybe if we knew what this package was then we would know how important it is."

"True, but right know we can't really ask any questions." There was a small pause. "You should go get ready," she told Kanan. "Ezra, Sabine, and Chopper will go with you." Chopper then argued by beeping "Why me?" when he heard his name. "Because, Chop, you will be acting as an Imperial droid, since the package is in a highly guarded storage." He beeped again, arguing. "Don't worry you'll be fine I'll send you the information so you guys can find it." The droid continued to argue but Hera ignored him. "You guys get ready," she told Kanan, Ezra, Sabine, and Chopper. "We have to get out of there before the Empire realizes it's us and try to shoot us down." They all nodded, Chopper still arguing as he followed Sabine.

"What am I supposed to do?," Zeb asked Hera, as the others walked out of the cockpit.

"You'll be on the lookout in case the Empire decides to come around," she explained to him as she turned to the ship's controls.

"How come they get to have all the fun?," he mumbled as he leaned in the chair he was sitting on.

As the four of them got ready for the mission, Kanan walked into the kitchen and spotted Ezra sitting in a chair, deep in thought. "Ezra?," Ezra was knocked out of his thoughts when he headed the voice of his master.

He quickly shook his thought away and answered, "Yeah?"

"You still haven told me why you're upset."

Ezra sighed, "I'm not upset."

"Then what's bothering you?."

"I really don't want to talk about it right know," Ezra said as he stood up and started to walk out. "Let's just get this mission over with."

Kanan was growing more suspicious at his padawan's behavior. And at the same time; worried. No matter what it was that Ezra was hiding from him and the rest of the crew he was going to find out. One way or another.

Chopper rolled down towards the large building, disguised as an Imperial droid, with Kanan disguised as a Stormtrooper. Kanan pulling two crates (where Sabine and Ezra were hiding in) behind him. As they reached the Imperial storage building, they were stopped by another Stormtrooper that was guarding the entrance.

"Identification code?," the trooper asked for. Chopper handed him a fake code, which was excepted by the system. "What do you have in those crates?," the trooper asked Kanan.

"Just some new weapons that were asked to be stored for the Empire's usage."

The Stormtrooper handed the card to Chopper. "Alright, you may proceed." The door to the storage building then opened. Kanan nodded as he pulled the crates inside the building.

Kanan pulled the crates into an open storage room and opened them for Sabine and Ezra to come out. "Alright Chop, find the storage room," He told the droid once the two teens were out of the crates. Chopper scanned the building then rolled out of the room once he found the room the package was in, the other three followed him.

After a while of walking through the halls, they reached the room. Sabine went ahead and entered a code into the keypad, causing the doors to open. "Come on," she whispered and they walked in. They then realized that the package would be a bit harder to find, since there were many other crates in the room as well. "Great, this will totally go according to plan. Nothing like a long search to speed up the day," she complained as she saw the hundreds of creates.

"Chop, do you have the number of the crate?," Ezra asked the droid. He beeped 'yes' then the numbers '1405'. Once they got the crate number, the started searching until Ezra found the crate. "Guys I found it!" He pushed the crate towards the door to the room and was then stopped buy a voice.

"Hey! Stop right there! What are you doing?," the stormtrooper asked only to be shot by Sabine's blaster.

"Sabine!," Kanan growled at her. Sabine put her gun back in its holster.

"What?," she asked. "Do you want to get caught or do you want to make it out of here alive?" Soon the halls echoed with the sound of footsteps pounding on the ground.

"We're in trouble," Ezra said as he took out his lightsaber.

"Sabine I think it's time for a miracle," Kanan informed her. He took out his blaster and shot the keypad, causing the door to close.

She then took out a bomb and nodded, "Got it!" She went up to the wall and installed it. Kanan took out his llightsaber, walked to the other wall and cut a circle in it.

"What are you doing,"Ezra asked him.

"Trying to make it out of here alive," he responded. Once he finished making the circle, he pushed the part of the wall off. "Come on!," he told the teens and Chopper. Ezra pushed the crate through the large hole in the wall, then walked through himself, followed by Sabine, Kanan, and Chopper. As they ran through the hall, Kanan pulled out his com. "Specter one to Specter two, we got the package- we need a pickup," he spoke into it.

"On my way," Hera responded.

When the group of four turned the corner, they were met by a group of stormtroopers. Sabine took out her blasters while Kanan and Ezra took out their lightsabers. Sabine fired at the troopers while Kanan and Ezra blocked the lasers that were being shot at them as they continued to move forward. Soon the troopers were laying still on the ground. The four rebels continued until they reached the back exit of the building. Sabine shot the keypad as the door closed.

They looked up to see the Ghost lowering to the ground and the ramp opening. Chopper and Sabine hopped onto the ship first just as stormtroopers started shooting from the terrace above them. "Go!," Kanan yelled to Ezra as he took out his lightsaber again. Ezra nodded lifting the crate and jumping onto the ship's ramp. Kanan blocked as many lasers as possible as he walked backwards onto the ramp. Once they were all on the ship, he took out his com again. "Alright, Hera. Get us out of here," he told her. The ramp then closed and the ship took off into the air.

The troopers were finally able to break down the door of the storage room, blasters ready to shoot down the enemy. Only to find it empty and with a large whole in the right wall. They soon heard beeping coming from the wall in front of them. They saw the painting of a phoenix and heard the beeping get faster. "Get down!," one of the troopers warned the others just as the bomb exploded in the room.

Just as Ezra pushed the crate up the ramp, Zeb entered the room. "Alright," He started. "We went through all this trouble just to pick up a crate- so we might as well see what's inside of it!" The Lasat walked up to the crate and was about to open it before Kanan stopped him.

"Carful Zeb," he warned. "Just because we now have the package doesn't mean that we can just open it. Ahsoka didn't say anything about opening it."

"We might as well," Sabine said taking off her helmet. "I doubt there's anything big or dangerous in it. Plus we should know if it was really worth almost getting caught by the Empire."

Kanan hesitated for a bit. "Alright," he sighed. "But open it carefully. For all we know there could be a bunch of explosives in it."

Zeb nodded as both he and Ezra slowly opened the crate. Once they removed the lid they stared wide- eyed at with what was in it. Now they knew what Ahsoka meant when she said that a life was at risk. Inside the crate; was the figure of a small child...
