Hey guys! So, this is my new story which is my first cross over! :D I'd just like to note that you don't have to read the Spirit Animals book series to understand. It will get explained through the chapters as if it was a new concept. Give it a shot, and you might even enjoy it! :D

Ezra's POV

I walked through the busy markets of Lothal, searching for a stall I could grab a bite from. Scanning the area, I saw an overwhelmed seller, trying to make enough hot food for the rush hour. I smirked and brushed the blue hair out of my face. Easy pickings today. Walking up to the stall with my head down, I tried to make myself invisible. The man was too busy flipping whatever was on the grill to notice me slipping some fresh fruits into my backpack. Then, I caught a whiff of the juicy meat. My stomach grumbled. Maybe a hot meal would be nice.

Greedily, I slunk to the back of the stall and waited for the perfect moment. When the man placed a fresh batch of steaming buns to the side, I couldn't help but snatch a few. I looked back at the grill. Hmm. Too risky. I was about to walk off when a firm hand grabbed my wrist. "So you think you can steal from me, Loth Rat?!" the stall keeper barked angrily.

I tried to wriggle out of his iron grasp but it was no use. "Maybe the conquerors would enjoy a visit from you?" the man fumed, grinning evilly.

My eyes widened and I began to panic. "No, no! Please sir, anything but that!"

"You should have thought about that before you stole from my store!" he yelled, attracting the attention of passer-by's.

Suddenly, a firm hand gripped onto my shoulder. I looked up to see a man with brown hair pulled into a tight pony tail. He had a finely trimmed beard and a set of aquamarine eyes. "I really am sorry about my son here sir," he said, gesturing to me.

I have him a puzzled look but he nudged me gently, urging me to play along. "I'll pay for any trouble he caused," the stranger said.

The stall keeper released my wrist and changed his attention to the stranger. "Hmm… okay," he grumbled as the pony tail man handed him a fist fill of credits. "Again, sorry for the trouble," he waved, pushing me away from the crowded markets.

When we made it to a side alley, I shrugged from his grasp and said "Thanks, but I had everything under control."

"Oh, you would have preferred to go to the conquerors?" he smirked.

I immediately shook my head and sighed. "Thank you, for saving me," I muttered.

"Don't mention it," he said, turning and walking away.

I looked down, and when I looked up again, he was gone. I scanned my surroundings curiously but he was nowhere to be seen. I shrugged and walked out of the alley, taking extra care to circle around the patrol of Conquerors and their ferocious spirit animals. I spat at the thought. Those beasts caused nothing but trouble for people.

There once was a time when summoning a spirit animal was amazing and a precious gift. Special ceremonies were held for children coming of age, around 11 to 12 years old. No one would know if you would actually form a bond with a mysterious creature when you drunk the precious 'Nectar', but you could always hope. But that was a long time ago. Almost 15 years. Now, the only people who possessed spirit animals were the conquerors. Aggressive, power thirsty soldiers who craved control over anything and everything.

Of course, it was entirely possible for someone to still form a bond naturally, but then again, who would want to? The second the Conquerors find out you are one of the Marked, you get taken away and never return. Not only that, but there was the possibility of catching the bonding sickness. It could cause unbearable pain, distant bonds, or even death. No matter how you looked at it, spirit animals were a curse. Not because they had intended to be, but it was just the way things were these days.

I walked into the town square, where citizens used to celebrate Halawir the Eagle, the Great Beast of Lothal. No one had seen the mysterious legend for years, as well as any of the other Great Beasts that once protected the galaxy. Some people still had hope that they would come back and save them from the Conqueror's tyranny, but I was tired of hoping. I tilted my face skywards, staring at the blue sky.

Unexpectedly, what sounded like thunder rumbled through the air. Dark clouds shifted into view and blocked out the sun light. I had a puzzled look, as did many of the other citizens in the town. Suddenly, a bright flash of light filled my vision and my muscles began to twitch. When the light disappeared, a magnificent eagle fluttered in front of me. I stared in awe as people around me gasped. The creature glided onto my shoulder and pinched my skin with its razor sharp talons. My vision sharpened and I could see far more colours than was possible. The tingling feeling through my body receded as the bird let go, letting out a startling cry.

"Is that Halawir?" A by stander asked.

People began to murmur amongst each other as I looked around nervously. Against all odds, I had summoned a spirit animal! My small moment of joy faded as reality hit me. "Get the marked one!" A conqueror cried from somewhere in the ocean of people.

I searched frantically for an exit but every path was blocked. Two conquerors emerged from the crowd, their black armour glinting as the sun came out again. One had a menacing sword and the other had a bow. A snake was coiled around the bowman and a racoon ambled to beside the swordsman. I was frozen still. Suddenly, another figure jumped for the crowd, gleaming sword in hand. I realised the figure was the stranger from before. He duelled the surprised conquerors with ease while a mandalorian pushed me away from the commotion.

She led me through the maze of people, the eagle still perched on my shoulder. "Wait, where are we going?!" I called as we bolted for the open plains.

"Just follow!" she yelled back through her pink painted helmet.

I followed her steadily until we approached a large ship. Screams and yells echoed from behind as I saw the stranger running towards us, more than five conquerors on his tale. "Get on the ship!" he ordered sternly as arrows soared through the air. My eyes widened and I bolted for the ramp ahead of us. After scrambling in, the ship lifted and hovered above the ground. I watched as the pony tailed stranger jumped onto the ramp and hauled himself up, right before the ship took off.

He was panting and the eagle pinched my skin again. I had actually forgotten he was there. I walked to his side and asked "Are you okay?" After the man caught his breath, he nodded and stood up.

"You're lucky. They almost you that time," he said, walking into the cargo bay.

"W-Who are you, and what's going on?!" I asked, stroking the feathers of the eagle to calm myself.

He turned to face me and said "I'm Kanan. And you have done something quite incredible."

I raised a brow. "And what would that be?"

He thought for a moment, before replying "You have summoned Halawir back into the galaxy."

Hey guys! I've been reading my spirit animals series lately and I was loving it so much I had the idea to make a crossover with star wars rebels! It's okay if you haven't read the books, I'll still try to make things as clear as possible. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed and will stick around for the next chapter! Have a great day and may the force be with you, always!
