Star Wars Rebels: Galactic Crysis
(A/N: Basically this is supposed to be a crossover between Star Wars Rebels and one of my favorite games. But I'm placing it here to see how many reviews it can get. If I get a good amount, I promise I'll move this story to the crossover section)
Now that Lothal has been sieged by the Empire, the Rebels have been forced to flee the planet and join the other cells across the galaxy. As for the Empire, dealing with the Rebels was a matter that they were taking care of, but a scientific division has been tasked with special orders that were allowed by the Emperor himself. They had to create a weapon far more powerful than any other before to crush the rebel scum once and for all.
Back on an imperial station, the scientists have found results of their work as agent Kallus entered the laboratory alongside two Stormtroopers.
-"Well, gentlemen. I hope you have something now, for your sake." Kallus demanded with a threating tone.
-"Oh yes, agent Kallus. We've found results to create our 'Battle Armor Perfected' and this time it can work. We only require tests subjects to make sure of our results." The main scientist affirmed and Kallus ordered the Stormtroopers to leave the lab.
-"Very well. I shall see that you are provided with what you need. Continue your work." Kallus said and he exited the lab.
-"Alright, continue with the schematics and prepare for phase two of Project Nanosuit." The main scientist ordered.
Meanwhile, the Lothal rebels received info from Ahsoka/Fulcrum. The Empire has found the data about the locations of many rebel bases hidden across the galaxy.
On the Ghost, everyone gathered on the cockpit, while Hera was setting the coordinates, Kanan was informing the mission to the rest of the crew.
-"Okay everyone. We received Intel that the Empire possesses the data on the mines of Kessel. If we're going to retrieve the data Ahsoka told us to get. We're going to split in groups of three: One group will take care of the imperial communications and systems while the other hacks into their server and retrieve the data. Understood?" Kanan said.
-"Do we know how many bucket heads are in that station?" Zeb asked.
-"As far as we know, it's only a standard number of Stormtroopers. Alright, get ready. We'll arrive in ten minutes." Kanan said and he left to prepare for the mission as did Zeb. Sabine was on her way to find her weapons when she noticed that Ezra had not say anything during the mission's debrief. In fact, since he didn't say anything since Lothal was sieged by the Empire.
-"Hey, Ezra…are you ok?" Sabine asked snapping Ezra out of his thoughts.
-"Huh? What? Uh…yeah, I'm fine. Nothing to worry about." Ezra simply said while making a nervous laugh and then he left. Sabine only stared at the corridor which he left.
-"It's still hard for him." Hera said, causing Sabine to turn around and face her.
-"You mean…" Sabine said softly.
-"Yeah, watching his home planet being enslaved, the very town where he grew up being burned to the ground. I can say he will get it over with, but it may take some time." Hera applied.
-"Well, for the good of all of us. He better get it over with when we'll be on the mission." Sabine said as she was placing her helmet in her head.
When the Ghost arrived at the imperial station, Hera activated the newest invention added to the ship. It was a cloaking device which would allow them to sneak near the station without being detected. However, it could only last 20 minutes. So if they were going to retrieve their objective, they needed to be fast.
Hera landed the Ghost in one of the station's docking bays and then the groups split up. Kanan, Hera and Zeb headed towards the station's security and maintenance area while Ezra, Sabine and Chopper headed for the computer system.
-"Okay, Specter 4. Find the station's power system and shut it down. Their backup generators will kick in but they won't have the security in their servers." Hera informed and Zeb found the power switch and turned the power off. When the backup generator started, Hera saw through the security cameras many Stormtroopers started to head towards them.
-"Specter 1, block their way." Hera said and Kanan used the Force to block the gates.
-"Okay, Specters 3, 5 and 6. This is Specter 1. You're clear to proceed." Kanan said through his comms.
-"Roger that, Specter 1. Specter 5 out."
Meanwhile Sabine charged her blasters, while Ezra did the same with his Lightsaber.
-"You ready, kid?" Sabine asked.
-"I dunno. Are you?" Ezra replied and Sabine only smirked beneath her helmet. When they entered the computer room, Ezra stunned the two officers inside.
-"Nice work. Now let's find that data. Specter 3, hack into this." Sabine said while Chopper's reply was his usual beep noises. After five minutes Chopper was still trying to find the data.
-"Well?" Ezra asked sounding impatient but Chopper replied with loud beeps.
-"What?! What do you mean there is no data?!" Sabine yelled and Chopper kept beeping.
-"Blast it. Specter 1, this is Specter 6. There's no data…it was all a trap." Ezra said.
-"Darn! Okay. Everyone, back to the ship. Move!"
So the Lothal Rebels gathered back in the docking bay.
-"I knew there was something odd with this mission!" Zeb yelled as Hera and Chopper entered the Ghost. But when Ezra was about to enter he froze, he felt something through the Force.
-"Kanan…" Ezra whispered and his master felt that too.
-"Oh no…" Kanan said. Both of them knew what this presence through the Force was. It was from the man Ezra was hoping not to see so soon. Before anyone could act, a deep breathing sound invaded the room.
Kussssssssh kaaaaaaaah
Ezra and Kanan looked back as Darth Vader stood there. When he ignited his lightsaber, Ezra felt that uneasy feeling back on Lothal strike him again.
-"You fools have fell into our trap out of your desperation." Vader said as he started to approach to the rebels slowly, Ezra and Kanan activated their lightsabers while Sabine and Zeb aimed their weapons at the dark lord.
-"Come now, rebel scums. I will relieve you of your burden." Vader said and Zeb and Sabine started to shoot at him but Vader only raised one hand in front of their shots and they were deflected by the Force. Then he pushed the Lasat and the Mandalorian aside. Leaving him to face the Jedi and his Padawan.
Kanan started to duel Vader but after many blocks, Vader pushed Kanan aside and he started to approach to Ezra.
-"No…not again." Ezra thought. Everything was happening exactly how it happened when he and the rest of the crew had to leave Lothal. He couldn't let that happen again.
-"I can sense your fear, young one." Vader declared as he raised his lightsaber, before he could hit the padawan. His red lightsaber was blocked by Ezra's blue lightsaber.
-"Perhaps, but I won't let that stop me this time!" Ezra shouted and he started to land many offensive attacks to Vader, who was blocking them easily.
-"You have potential, boy. But you lack discipline." Vader said as he pushed Ezra against the Ghost's exterior. When he got up he was about to strike Vader again but Sabine started to shoot at Vader, though none of her shots landed on him since he was deflecting them with his lightsaber.
-"I had enough of your interference." Vader said as he started to choke Sabine with the Force and pulled her closer to him and he was raising his lightsaber to strike her down.
-"NO!" Ezra yelled and he made a huge Force push and send Vader fly away. Then he approached Sabine to see if she was okay.
-"Sabine, are you okay?" Ezra asked concerned.
-"Yeah, thanks for the save." Sabine said.
-"Okay, let's get Kanan and Zeb and leave this place." Ezra said as he helped Kanan get up and get into the Ghost while Sabine helped Zeb, when they were aboard the ship was ready to leave but it wouldn't move. That's when Ezra looked back at the docking bay where Vader was standing and keeping the Ghost from escaping.
-"This is not over yet." Vader said as he slowly started to close his hand, breaking the hull of the Ghost piece by piece. Ezra knew this was bad, and Kanan was still too weak to fight Vader…there was no other choice. If the Ghost crew could escape, then there was only one option.
-"Sabine, take care of Kanan and Zeb, alright?" Ezra pleaded.
-"What?" Sabine asked but the only thing she could see was Ezra's sad look.
-"No, no there's no way I'm letting you do that." Sabine said.
-"There's no choice." Ezra replied.
-"You can't fight him by yourself!" Sabine shouted, trying to make him reconsider what he was thinking.
-"No, I can't. But I can get you guys an open window…I'm so sorry." Ezra said as he jumped out of the Ghost and pushed Vader with the Force again, making him loose his grip to the Ghost.
-"Specter 2, this is Specter 6. We're ready! Let's get out of here!" Ezra said.
-"Roger that! Here we go!"
Then Ezra looked at the Ghost seconds before it left the hangar and he saw Sabine before the ship's door got closed.
-"Ezra, No!" Sabine screamed but the Ghost had already left the hangar and entered hyperspace.
-"I'm sorry, guys." Ezra said as he dropped his communicator on the ground and stomp in it. He knew this was a battle he couldn't win and if he was to die here, he wouldn't let the Empire trace his friends through his communicator.
-"You are a complete fool, young one. You doomed yourself by staying behind." Vader mocked as he got started to attack Ezra, who was blocking every hit from the dark lord.
-"Perhaps, but you never got them, did ya? No, they're safe. And that's all that matters to me." Ezra said as he jumped away from Vader. But the dark lord used the Force to push aside the boy's lightsaber and started to choke him and threw him against the docking bays. After several hits, Ezra was now fighting to stay conscious.
-"You allowed your master to deceive you, making you believe that you can be a Jedi. It would be a pity to let the power within you be wasted as a Jedi, you could do much more on the dark side." Vader said as he pushed Ezra against the wall once again, knocking him out cold. Then many Stormtroopers arrived at the hangar.
-"My lord, are you hurt?" The commander asked.
-"No, take him to the holding cells. And contact the star destroyer. It is time for me to leave." Vader said as he walked away from the hangar.
Meanwhile back on the Ghost. Hera left the ship in auto-pilot and went to check on the rest of the crew, then Kanan and Zeb started to wake up.
-"Ow, that hurts." Zeb said.
-"Well, at least we made it out of the station." Kanan said as he was getting up, he looked around and saw Sabine kneeled on the floor without her helmet.
-"Sabine. Where's Ezra?"Kanan asked but when Sabine got up and turned around to face him, he notice a trail of tears beneath her eyes.
-"He…" Sabine started but she couldn't continue. Kanan and Zeb were already getting worried and so was Hera, who just arrived there.
-"Sabine. What happened to Ezra?" Hera asked the Mandalorian but she was sobbing a little.
-"He…he stayed to face Vader." Sabine said and everyone's expression turned into shock.
-"What?! He's gonna die!" Kanan shouted.
-"But how did he stayed behind? I thought he was in here with you." Hera said.
-"He was, but before we managed to leave…he jumped out and gave us the time to escape." Sabine said.
-"Damn it, kid." Zeb said as he slammed his fist into the wall.
-"I'm sorry, Kanan. I tried to…" Sabine started but Kanan cut her off.
-"No, don't be. If Vader knows that Ezra has a great connection with the Force, then he will probably have him trapped in a cell. We need to regroup with the others and plan a rescue for him. Hera, contact Ahsoka and tell her to give us the coordinates." Kanan said.
-"I'm on it." Hera said as she headed for the cockpit while everyone headed to their rooms, Sabine looked back at the bed where Ezra used to sleep.
-"Don't worry, Ezra. We'll save you." Sabine said softly before she closed the door of her room.
Meanwhile, back at the star destroyer. Vader established contact with agent Kallus.
-"My lord." Kallus greeted.
-"Agent Kallus, what news do we have on the new project?" Vader asked.
-"The science team has already created the suit, but the test subjects we delivered had not become compatible with it." Kallus informed. Darth Vader stood there and soon a thinking reached his mind.
-"Very well. Keep providing the test subjects, but I will send one in particular myself." Vader said.
-"Yes, my lord." Kallus said before the transmission ended. Then in one of the holding cells of the star destroyer, Ezra was sitting there and he tried to establish contact with Kanan through their bond with the Force, but before he could get any results. The door of his cell opened and Vader stepped in alongside two Stromtroopers.
-"Let me guess. This is the part where you convince me to join the dark side, right?" Ezra said in a mocking tone.
-"No, you will join the dark side eventually. But for now, there is another use for you…you must feel grateful, boy. For you are about to be part of the Project Nanosuit."
