Kanan's POV

He had Hera stood around a video feed that had two teenagers in captain attire. This was something of the likes he had never seen before. He had heard rumors of a group of teenagers piloting on their own without the aid of adults. It was said that they were led by a now 15 year old. When they first came on the empires radar and the rebellions it had been five years previous. It had taken Hera and Zabine a year to get in contact with the leaders.

The leader other right stepped forward and said," Captain Syndulla it is good to meet you. What can I and my crew do for you?" Hera stepped forward and Kanan could see the seriousness of her expression. She said, " I requested this meeting to request the STFW's aid in the rebellion against the empire."

The two teenagers exchanged glances before the first one said," I think you have the wrong group Captain Syndulla. The STFW was decommissioned years ago along with all their pilots." Kanan pinched his nose in frustration as Hera said stopping the teenagers from cutting the transmission, " Wait! We are trying to help those who can't help themselves because of the empire's oppressive rule! We can't do this alone." It was dead silent the two captains hit the mute button and conferenced over something. One looked angry while the one that had refused their request looked worried. Hera wondered aloud," What are they arguing about?"

Before he could respond the sound was back and the boy on the left said," We obey only one person. His name is Lieutenant Commander Wolf leader of K-9 squadron. He was requested to be an admiral but he declined. Several years ago he went on a mission near the system of Lothal. That's were we believe he was shot down. We have searched high and low and have found no trace of him. If you can find him and get him to agree to help you. You will have the full support of the STFW. The best way to identify him is by the wolf tattoo on his right inner forearm. Are we in agreement?"

Hera was stuck as was Kanan. On one hand they could agree to the teenagers demands but that left them hunting a pilot that very well could be dead. On the other hand they could disagree and that left them without any extra aid. Kanan felt the force pushing him to go to Lothal. Something was there that it wanted him to find. He tapped Hera on the shoulder causing her to glance at him curiously but allowed him to speak. He said," We agree to search for you missing Lieutenant Commander. How will we contact you when we find him?" The teenager on the right smiled and said," If you find him he knows how to contact us."

With that the communications were cut off leaving the Jedi Knight and Hera to ponder what was next.

Ezra's POV

3 days later

I yawned as I walked through the main city of Lothal. A loud engine noise carrier through the town as an imperial star destroyer was going overhead. Once again the imperials were searching for rebels. I ducked into a parts shop where the owner said in Huttinese," Ezra Bridger its been awhile boy who howls at the moons." I rolled my eyes at the nickname the man had given me once he had seen my shadow beast tattoo. Him calling me that also meant the shop was safe to talk about thing that shouldn't be overheard. I said hugging the man," Its good to see you Styker. I'm here in business as usual. First off has that part come in yet?"

Styker's eyes lit up as he said pulling a package up onto the desk," Yes your nav computer has finally arrived. Went through a lot of shit to get this for you brat so be grateful. Specially outfitted only for the Veritechs of the Shadow Beasts. Now what else you need?" I took the package and said," Power couplink on my cyclone is fried. Got any?"

He went around back for a few moments before returning with the power couplink. He said grinning, " Knock yourself out kid. Hey I've got one more piece of news for you." He looked around making completely sure we could be heard and leaned in close. He whispered," There's a group of pilots looking for you kid. I've seen their pictures too. Rebels against the empire. I would hurry with your repairs and get back to your pack while the getting is good." I sighed and thought: Damn looks like I've overstayed my welcome. Hopefully I would find leads on my parents before I brought in the rest of the STFW crew.

As I made my way back to my houseish building on the three miles outside of the city. There was a yell from stormtroopers and blaster fire. I carefully cut a corner till I could see around it without revealing myself. There was a tall brown haired man, someone in Mandalorian armor, and some kind of creature I wasn't familiar with. They were raiding a supply convoy by the looks of it. I had my protoculture blaster with me so if it came down to it I could protect myself.

I turned to walk away when a him brought my attention back to the brown haired man. Something was drawing me to him. I saw several stormtroopers coming up behind the man and on instinct I pulled my blaster out and expertly shot them. Their heads jumped to look at me and I yelled," Go! I can take care of myself!" The Mandalorian was by my side in an instant and said dragging me to one of the speeder," Oh no you don't. You helped us if they catch you they will execute you."

:And this is why I hate rebels. Always looking out for everyone but themselves.: The Mandalorian drove while I on the back of the speeder contemplating how in the hell I ended up in this situation! I looked behind us and saw several stormtroopers hot on our heels. I sighed and started shooting at them to send them packing. The first three shots took out the closest to our speeder causing the Mandalorian to turn and look behind us. He said," Nice shot kid."

I said snarkily," I wouldn't be alive now if I didn't learn to shoot. Where are we going?" He said I could hear the amusement in his voice," To the randevous point with our ship. These supplies are going to a starving village."

I blinked in surprise I didn't know the rebels gave supplies to the needy. I thought they only fought against the empire. I guess there's more than one way of fighting. After I found my parents maybe the Shadow Rebellion group could try and do the same.
