Chapter 1
A/N: Hey guys I've had this idea in my head for a while now and decided to write it down. Don't worry I'm not giving up on my other story just need to get this one started and I'll work them both the best I can. As the
summary says Ezra doesn't grow up on the streets alone he is found by a surviving Jedi who will take him in and teach him the ways of the Force. He will meet the crew later on though so do not worry. That's all I have
so let's start the story and remember to please review. Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars Rebels or any of its characters Disney Enterprises Inc. owns it. I only own this story.
A Tragedy and A New Life
It was midafternoon when the door to the Bridger family's house was suddenly blown open and in stormed about eight stormtroopers and their commander. "By order of the Empire you two are under arrest. Seize them."
ordered the commander. One of the troopers went and tried to restrain Ephriam but got shoved away and another trooper was punched in the helmet as well. Seeing as they were resisting arrest the troopers opened fire
on the two and killed them. As they were walking away a trooper spotted a boy peeking from around a wall who had seen everything. Wanting to leave no witnesses he fired at the boy and managed to hit his right leg
just below the knee. Ezra having never felt so much pain in his life passed out from the pain and the trooper thought he killed the boy off so he continued walking out of the house and regrouped with the rest of his
comrades. Two hours later Ezra opens his eyes to see he is in some white room that he doesn't know. Believeing he might be in Imperial custody he was about to freak out when an unknown man walked into the room.
They both look at eachother for a few seconds before the man walks up to Ezra and kneels down next to the bed he's lying in. " You're awake! Good. I didn't know when you might wake up, I decided to come check
up on you, good timing huh? Tell me what is your name young one?" asked the man. " I-It's Ezra sir, w-who are you. Where am I?" stuttered Ezra nervously. " No need to worry I won't hurt you, you're safe here ok.
You're in my house I saved you from bleeding out in your home. I'm sorry about what happened to your parents back there if I had arrived a little sooner I could've helped save them. Oh I almost forgot my name's
Obi-wan Kenobi, I'm a Jedi Master. Before you ask how I knew to come here, the Force is what guided me to come. Might I add that even though you might not know about it you are a force sensitive and can be
trained in its ways. I can train you in the ways of the Jedi if that's a path you'd like to take or you can deny and live a normal life the choice is yours." Ezra seeing as how he doesn't have his parents anymore and has no
relatives to go to realizes that he can't live a normal life so he knows he only has one real choice to go with. " I'll take the first choice Obi-wan, I'd like to learn to be a Jedi." he said with a bit of eagerness in his voice.
10 years later: Ezra's POV
We find a seventeen year old Ezra along side Obi-wan entering a secret Jedi temple in Lothal. " Master what exactly are we doing here?" asked Ezra. " There isn't anything more that I can teach you that I haven't already
so we are here for you to take your last test as a padawan. I must say I am impressed that you managed to master Form V not many could accomplish that. Here we are. I'll stay here you must go alone. If you pass this
test then you shall be knighted and you will recieve your crystal so you can make your own lightsaber, that practice saber won't hold back a real one it's only good against blaster bolts and another practice saber." replied
Obi-wan with a smile that put Ezra's nerves to rest and gave him confidence. So Ezra continued down the passageway he was heading when all of a sudden his surrounding changed to that of his old house to the exact
moment when he would lose his parents. Believing it to be true he tried to save them before they were shot but realized he couldn't move as he stand there with wide eyes he sees his parents shot once again but this time
they look at him with dissappointment in their eyes and blame him for their death asking him why he didn't save them. Tears falling from his eyes he appologized profusely but they just kept blaming him. Before the
emotional turmoil became too much the scenery changed again but this time it was of Obi-wan fighting off stormtroopers and watches as he is shot in the back and slowly dies but not before looking at Ezra in the eyes.
This is when Ezra realizes he is living and facing his greatest fear which is loosing those he loves and being left alone. Fighting off his feeling of sadness, guilt, and hate he smiles to himself because he knows that he will
do whatever he can to protect those he loves. He'll not ony be strong for them but for himself as well and lastly he accepts the fact that if anybody does die that he won't be alone beacause it is as his master said " There
is no death, there is only the Force. Which means that if they die they'll still be with him whether they are force sensitive or not. Having come to this conclusion the Force believes Ezra to be ready and changes back his
surrounding to the cave he was in and when h opens his eyes he sees a green crystal floating down to him. He reaches out and grabs it marveling at its beauty before pocketing it and heading back to where his master
is waiting for him. As he makes it back he can't help but smile knowing that he just conquered his greatest fear and has nothing left to fear. Obi-wan sensing his padawan returning opens his eyes to see his student smiling
to himself and can't help but feel happy and proud of him knowing that he has come a long way since he took him in ten years ago. " I see you passed your final test congratulations." " Thank you master it was all due to
your teachings that I have come this far and improved this greatly." replied Ezra while bowing. " Oh and I also got this," he said while producing the kyber crystal fom his pocket. Seeing the crystal Obi-wan has Ezra
kneel down before igniting his lightsaber and doing the knighting ritual on him. He also helped him build his lightsaber which was curved and has a crossguard. " By the right of the council, by the will of the Force, Ezra
Bridger you may rise. Congratulations you are now a Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order and of the Republic." " Wait but I thought the Republic didn't exist anymore how am I a Knight of the Republic." asked Ezra confused.
" I've had a vision of you leading the way to overthrow the Empire and bringing back the Republic, it is your destiny young Ezra now come we have somewhere to go the force is calling to me."
No one's POV
Arriving at the Seelos system Obi-wan pilots their ship towards the norther side of the planet. " So what exactly are we doing here master?" asked Ezra. " We are here to see some old friends of mine. They will be very
helpfull to you in your quest to revive the Republic and these men will be the most loyal you could ever find." replied Obi-wan. Flying for a bit longer they spot an old AT-TE walker and land in front of it before
disembarking their ship and walking up to the tank. Out of one of its doors three clones walk out to see who it was that landed in front of them. " Who goes there?" asked Rex. " Soneone you know very well Captain
Rex." said Obi-wan before removing his hood and allowing the clones to see his face. When they did see him their eyes widen before rushing down the tank to meet them face to face. " General Kenobi is that really
you?" They couldn't believe it, right in front of them was a Jedi general they had served with many times and was alive. " Sir how did you survive the purge?" asked commander Wolffe. They still looked the way they did
during the clone wars and when asked about it they responded that they had found a way to stop the advanced aging so that's why it looked like they haven't aged at all. " So what brings you here General?" asked Rex.
"My young apprentice here is going to need your help. He is to bring back the Republic and will lead those who follow him to overthrow the Empire. Now you don't have to agree but it would be resourceful to him if
did." The clones look at eachother for a few moments before looking back towards Ezra and salute him caalling him General. " Thank you for joining but we must move now. I have a couple of mercy missions for us to
do. We'll steal some supply crates from the Empire and distribute them to the outer rim territories, we need to help those who are suffering while at the same time try to recruit more people to join us, understood." said
Obi-wan. " Sir yes sir!" all three clones replied before walking into the ship and waiting to take off.
And so they did do those missions helping out many systems live out longer than they would have had they not recieved those supplies. And slowly but surely whispers and rumors where spreading about a new Republic
being formed and that gave hope to all those outer rim planets. One of these planets was Kamino who desperately wants to get rid of the Imperial presence there so they secretly sent out a transmission to the new
Republic in hopes that it would be recieved and they will choose to help them. Aboard Obi-wans' ship, which happens to be the Twilight from the Clone Wars, they were recieving a distress signal from a system nearby.
" General we're recieveing a disress signal. It appears to be coming from Kamino." informed Wolffe. " Hmmm how interesting put it through." said Obi-wan. " This is prime minister Lamb Su of Kamino I hope I have
reached the new Republic.' " You have, what do you need" replied Ezra. " We wish for your aide. We would like for you to help free us from the Empire and in exchange for our freedom we will supply you with a
clone army and many fleets of warships. Please you have to help us!" pleaded the prime minister. "Alright we'll help you but there is one condition to that army, no inhibitor chips are to be placed in any clone produced
understood." replied Obi-wan. "Yes of course there will be none placed. Seeing what the last time did we wouldn't even dream of doing that again. There is one more thing though." "And what might that be?" asked Ezra
"We would like to join your new Republic." stated the minister. "Of course you can join, be ready for our arrival." said Ezra looking at the Kaminoan who bowed his head and ended the transmission. Within a couple of
hours the Twilight arrived at Kamino and was surprised to see two star destroyers in orbit before said destroyers jumped into hyperspace away from the arriving ship. The ship was then landed at a landing platform and
everybody began to exit except Obi-wan. Ezra turned around towards his master with a questioning look, " Aren't you coming master?" "I'm afraid this is where we must part ways. I still have a job to do elsewhere
and a promise to keep that I made to an old friend. Do not worry you shall continue down your own path as is your destiny but I have my own to follow now. Stay here until your army and fleet are ready then you may
begin to fight the Empire. Always trust the Force and your instincts, farewell my apprentice until we meet again and may the force be with you always." said Obi-wan with a bow. "Farewell master may the force be with
you too." said Ezra with a bow as well. Next thing he knows is that Obi-wan takes off and is gone from the planet in minutes. He turns around and walks up to the clones who were waiting for him. "Where'd the general
go sir?" asked Gregor. "He has other things to take care of alone and has a promise to fulfill so it's just us." replied Ezra sad about his masters departure.
And so they got to work on liberating the Kaminoans. It took them half a day but they managed to take out all Imperial forces and freed the oppressed people. And as promised Ezra was to recieve his clone army and
fleets. When asked if the clones were to be based off of him, Ezra declined and asked Rex if the clones could be cloned from him which he agreed to. It may be difficult to clone a clone from a clone but it was successfully
,done and within six months time they would have ten battalions worth of clones and a fleet of six highly improved venator class attack cruisers with eight twin turbolaster batteries, two single turbolaster batteries, and
a proton torpedo tube on the underside, and lastly a reinforced defector shield that could hold out against the fire from two star destoyers at the same time.
