These are Ezra's final moments in the finale of Season 4, written down. It's mainly intended to serve as a prologue for Ezra's story, as well as showing my writing style for you to comment on it if you want to offer some advice. I also just want to add that English is not my native language.
Grand Admiral Thrawn was standing in the bridge of his flagship, the Chimera. He kept analysing the situation at hand, as he did in every strategic scenario he was put in. He was thinking about different outcomes to the current situation, the options of the rebels were extremely limited, yet never not worth considering. Despite this, his victory felt certain to him.
Thrawn's train of thought was interrupted by the sound of the blast door behind him sliding open, two blaster shots being fired, and two sets of armor dropping to the ground. Even before he turned around, he had already concluded that Ezra Bridger, the young Jedi, must have escaped the Emperor and made his way to the bridge to confront him.
Ezra Bridger spoke up, an E-11 blaster aimed at the chiss: "Looks like you lose, Thrawn."
The Admiral kept his cool, confident that soon troopers would come and overwhelm the young Jedi, without his lightsaber, he would be far less of a threat to them.
"A momentary setback", he replied. He did not fear his life at that moment, Bridger's moral code inherited by his Jedi master made such an act highly unlikely.
"We'll see".
As he weighed out the odds, a deck officer interrupted his train of thought yet again.
"Sir, several unidentified objects have just entered orbit." he reported to his superior. Thrawn immediately assumed rebel reinforcements, but was confident in the stopping power of his blockade.
"My blockade will intercept them?"
The officer's reply surprised him, a feat few had ever accomplished.
"They've destroyed the blockade! Our ships are just... gone."
Angered by this unpredicted development, the chiss hissed out new orders, an effort to gain Intel about the new situation that presented itself.
"Get captain Pellian!"
As the Chimera hailed the blockade's commanding ship, the captain on the other side of the transmission spoke up: "Sir they came out of hyperspace, I've never seen..." static interrupted the transmission.
"Admiral! We have incoming!"
"Take a look." Ezra said.
The entire bridge personnel watched in awe as multiple enormous beings ripped through the clouds, speeding towards the imperial fleet.
TIE fighters were scrambled immediately and sped towards the attacking creatures, only to be decimated by the sheer number of attackers crashing through their squadron.
Giant Purrgil, matching the size of cruisers, tackled the star destroyers head on. They ripped through the hull and crashed into the bridges, causing critical damage in the process. Meanwhile, the Chimera had been mostly spared, only the main reactor had suffered critical damage. Weapons and shields were offline; emergency power was barely able to supply the secondary engines with enough power to keep the massive ship from crashing into the city below.
Thrawn had drawn his blaster pistol, stormtroopers stood by his side, and all of them were aiming their weapons at the teenage boy who somehow managed to pull this off. Thrawn looked around through the bridge's glass panels, almost stunned by the unpredictable development of the situation, yet he kept his cool.
The chiss almost whispered to his enemy, who was standing only a few meters away: "Whatever happens next happens to both of us."
"That's the idea", came the response, Thrawn deduced that the boy would do anything to defeat him now, without regarding his own life. In the end though, the Admiral had to admit that there wasn't anything he could do at the moment.
The bridge's glass panels shattered as multiple tentacles reached in, knocking down troopers. Thrawn tried to run away from the creatures' extremities, but Ezra force pushed him back towards the tentacles, which immediately enveloped him.
Ezra's wrist comlink activated, a familiar voice speaking to him: "Ezra! Ezra, can you hear me? The Purrgil, is it you?"
"Yeah! Pretty good huh?"
"Well, you could've told the rest of us." Sabine noted on the shared comm channel.
"I wanted it to be a surprise"
Their communication was cut short by the sound of the blast door opening behind Ezra. He turned around, seeing three troopers coming towards him, he took action; a precise force push towards one of the troopers knocked the man out, two well aimed shots took care of the remaining two.
Suddenly he heard a blaster shot from behind, followed by a sharp pain in his left shoulder. He dropped his rifle, turned around and pushed Thrawn back yet again with the force, into the mass of tentacles, only this time there would be no escape for the chiss.
Ezra was panting, his hand extended towards Thrawn, when he heard numerous stormtroopers approaching from behind, he turned around and locked the blast door shut for a final time.
The large Purrgil started to wrap their tentacles around the Chimera, enveloping the huge ship. Ezra could sense energy surging within the creatures' bodies; they would soon jump into hyperspace, and take the ship with them. He knew what he had to do now, contain the atmosphere within the bridge, almost instinctively raising his arms; he used his powers to gain hold of a bubble of air around him and Thrawn.
Suddenly a familiar voice spoke through his comlink: "Ezra! Ezra, get out of there right now that's an order".
"Hera, I have to see this through to the end"
Ezra flinched when he raised his left arm; the blaster shot had damaged his shoulder joint. With both arms extended in opposite directions, he again started gathering air around the two beings present on the bridge.
"Ezra! Please! Get out of there!" Sabine pleaded to him to stay with them.
For a brief moment, he considered staying with his friends, staying on his home planet, but he couldn't, he had already made his decision, he had to finish this.
"I can't do that", he simply replied.
Glass shards were hovering in the air around him, he could see the Purrgil tentacles glowing blue, an indication that they were about to jump into hyperspace.
He decided to speak his final words to his friends: "It's up to all of you now..."
The horizon started to grow brighter; he knew he only had a few seconds left.
"..And remember, the force will be with you... always."
The horizon was blinding him, but he kept concentrating on the bubble of air around him. He did not know where the Purrgil would be taking him and Thrawn, but it didn't matter at that moment, he had learned long ago to let go of things he had no control over.
Ezra closed his eyes. He felt the air around him under his control, he felt the energy building up inside the Purrgill bodies, and he felt the presence of his friends in the imperial dome below.
All of the sudden, he felt as if he was being accelerated to speeds beyond human comprehension. The living signatures in the city and imperial dome below faded instantly as he moved out of range.
He didn't know where he was headed, only that he would make the best of it, until one day he could reunite with his family.
Please review my story, I really appreciate general advice and constructive criticism. Next chapter will continue Ezra's story, stay tuned.
