Okay, so this is the second chapter of my fanfic. And I am very proud of how it turned out.

Enjoy chapter 2!

Chapter 2

"What do you mean? What's the ,,force''?"
"The force surrounds us. It's everywhere, and in everything. It connects every living creature in the galaxy." "And?" "And some people can manipulate it. Some can ,,use'' the force. They can control the weak minded with it, or levitate things with it."
"And?" One of Jason's eyebrows rise.
"And they are called force users, or force sensitive." "And?" Jason's voice was Impatient, but excited. "I believe you are a force user too." "Whoa..." Jason looked very excited "So then I can controll other's mind?"
"Only ,the weak minded. Keep that in mind."
"Cool." Jason was excited.
"Jason." Ezra looked very serious, "Listen to me very carefully. The force has two sides.
The light side, it comes from hope and pure heart.
And the dark side, it comes form fear, anger, grief, and hatred." "And?"

"Jason. You are using the dark side of the force." "And that is bad?"
"Yes, yes it is. By opening the sith holocron" Ezra pointed at the wicked holocron "you have prooven two things. One, you can use the force
Two, you use the dark side."
"Then we have to do something about it." Ezra was supprised how serious Jason was, despite his young age. "Tell me more about the force!"

"Alright, since there were two paths to take on, force users were on both sides.
And became groups. The followers of the Light side became the jedi.
And the users of the Dark side became the sith."
"You mean, like the ...holu... the holi..."

"Yes. Like the holocron. In fact, that is a tool of the sith."
"But you are not one of them. Right?" Jason did looked terrefied. "No, I'm not a sith." Ezra needed to anwser this question. Not only becouse of Jason, but for himself.

"Then you're a jedi!" Jason's eyes were sparkling of excitment, and pure joy. 'Finaly...' thought Ezra. 'At least now he acts like a child.' "Not exactly." Jason looked confused now
"I haven't finished my training. I left my master three years ago." Jason didn't care about that."But still. You're the best I can get!" Ezra didn't liked where the conversation was going. "What, do you mean?"
"Well for training, of course." Jason's tone was full of excitment. Ezra didn't wanted to break his heart, but he had to tell him. "I can't theach you." Jason's expression was more supprised then dissapointed. "But... why?"
Now Jason was sad. "Look, Jason." Ezra tryed to explain it to Jason but he coudn't. "I can't Teach you becouse I don't have the necessary tools." Jason desperatly wanted to have Ezra as his teacher. "Then get them!" Ezra made a sigh, and a sad smile. " I wish it woud be this simple."
Ezra started to think about Malachor, when he lost his lightsaber. It was destroyed by the sith lord. By Darth Vader...
"Ezra..." Ezra realized he was with a boy who has many questions.
"Ezra, snap out of it!" Jason looked very worried. "Ezra! Is everything allright?" "Um... Yeah." 'M okay."
"You looked like you saw a ghost."
"Yeah." Ezra sighed. And slowly realized that Jason's parents were killed. What if thoose men, will come back for Jason and find Ezra too."Jason. What men took your parents?" Jason started to get unconftroble. "I... I Don't know."
"Then describe them!" Jason noticed how nervous Ezra became. "Well they were wearing the same armour..." "What color was it?" "Umm... White." Ezra's heart stopped for a moment. Jason repeated "They were wearing white armour."

"Stormtroopers"
"You mean like thoose Imperial soliders?" Ezra was terrefied. "Yeah. We have to get out of here!" Ezra nervously started to pack his bag with his belongings again. "What do you mean? Why do we have to leave?" Ezra finished and grabbed his blaster.
"The Empire is hunting for the force users." Jason soon realized that, that means him too. "But then they will... " "Yes! They will look for you too. And when they find us." Ezra stopped for a moment and looked Jason in the eye. "Then they will kill us."
Jason just looked at Ezra.
"Hurry up!" Ezra grabbed Jason by his arm and dragged him out of the appartent. As they ran down the stairs, Ezra heard the noise of Imperial tanks. When they arrived at the door Ezra quickly closed it and then he kneeled down, so he can look directly into Jason's eyes.
"Jason, Listen to me very carefully, we don't have much time. I will distract them. When the fight starts, you must run away! Okay?" Ezra handed a piece of paper to Jason. "Go to this address!" Jason hugged Ezra.
"It's okay. Stay here." Ezra took a deep breath and opened the door and walked out. Three stormtrooper squads were waiting out there. They had special markings on their armour, they were 501's class stormtroopers.
Ezra was terrefied. 'I don't stand a chanche against these guys. They were trained ti deal with jedi, and I don't even have a lightsaber.' Ezra took a deep breath and decided to improvise.
"Troopers!" Ezra forced a happy smile on his face. "What brings you here?" The 501's stormtroopers were heavely armed, with belts full heat detonaters crossing through their torso.
Ezra gotten an idea. But it woud take time. "Citizen, there is a dangerous rebel unit inside that building. Step aside!" The stormtrooper noticed Ezra's back pack. "And prepare to be searched."
"What?" Ezra used the dumpest tone he coud so he won't draw any suspission. "There is no need for that trooper." While Ezra acted like a morron, he used the force to activate the heat detonaters one by one. Through out the past three years, Ezra has learned how to use the force unnoticed (with open eyes, and only moving his fingers) it helped him win some bets and earn a quick credit many times. 'Only a few more...' Using the force like that was exhausting. And Ezra looked exhausted. "Are you allright? Is everything okay?" The Trooper was worried. Ezra wasn't sure if the plan is going to work so he decided to put up quite a show. He fell on the ground and tryed to look like he was in pain. "Trooper! Come here! Quickly!" The squad leader (the one Ezra was talking to) called the medic and runned to Ezra to help him up. "Citizen, I belive you have some sort of disorder. Perhaps panic attacks." 'What a good idea.' Thought Ezra and acted like he was having a panic attack. While doing that he gently grabbed his DL-44 blaster.
But the other trooper noticed it.
"Hey! That's a DL-44 blaster pistol! By Imperial law that weapon is illegal! Sir you are under arrest."

Ezra wasn't scared at all. On the contrary he was very confident.
"Okay, okay, but before you take me in." Ezra's put on a grim smile "I loooooove those, belts" Ezra pointed on the troop's explosive belts. And then...

!BOOM!

The explosion was huge. All of the troopers died, expect for the the squad leader who was standing right next to Ezra. Ezra picked up his gun as fast as possible and pointed at the trooper. But before he coud fire the trooper kicked the pistol out of his hand, and charged him. The stormtrooper was extremely fast. Ezra coudn't avoid his attacks, so he needed to block. The trooper kicked Ezra in the stomach. What happened after was fast, the trooper attacked and Ezra blocked it or avoided it. The trooper kicked high, then a left phunch, right phunch, low kick, middle kick, then suddenly Ezra delivered a huge phunch. The trooper charged him again and this time he hit Ezra very hard. The trooper grabbed Ezra's shoulder, pushed his upper body down and started to phunch him in the face. Again and again, and again. Ezra felt dizzy, the phunches really took all of Ezra's energy, he coud feel the blood rushing through his veins. One of the trooper's phunches broke Ezra's nose, and now he was bleeding. 'God dammit! It cannot end like this.' Ezra took another phunch on his nose, and it was extremely painfull. 'Ezra you're not facing some idiotic private who just got out of the Imperial academy, you are fighting against a trained murderer machine and loosing.' Ezra felt that a few more phunches like this and he woud die. 'Think Ezra! Think! What did Zeb used to do?' And then several images of the almost two meters tall Lasat beating up a bunch of stormtroopers at the same time flashed through his mind. That gave the inspiration he needed.
Ezra quickly pushed the trooper over, (he used the force) then stood up and charged at the trooper. He pushed him over again then started to beat the trooper up. The trooper kicked Ezra in the face and stood up and tryed to knock Ezra out, but he was too quick, and dodged the phunch. Now he gathered all his sthrenght and phunched the stormtrooper in the face. It wasn't an ordinary phunch, Ezra used all the force abilities he coud, to make the phunch quicker and stronger. The result was fearsome, Ezra's phunch was so strong that the trooper's helmet cracked. And Ezra was pretty sure some of his fingernails broke too. The trooper started to bleed, and took off his helmet. Ezra quickly grabbed his gun and pointed it at the trooper ready to fire.

But he didn't. Why? Ezra wasn't sure for a second. 'Where do I know this guy from? He looks so familiar. But who in the hell is he...'
"Oh my god." The trooper looked up at Ezra and he had the same reaction.
"Zare Leonis?" "Ezra Bridger?" The pair soon realized that they were both facing an old friend. Zare slowly stood up and gave Ezra a hug and laughed. "Buddy! How are you?" Ezra smiled. "Dude. Look at you! A 501's stormtrooper!" Zare was jumping around in his joy. "I know right! By the way, thanks for killing off the Inquisitors. I really hated thoose guys." Ezra walked at the door and checked if Jason was still there. He wasn't. "Good boy." Ezra looked at Zare again. "Look buddy, I'm on the run. Coud you please make some excuse for all this. By the way, sorry for killing your squad." "Don't be sorry for that. they were all cheeky bastards. And sure I can do that. But the thing is I need to lay low too." "Is it becouse your sister? Did you find her?" Zare looked down. "Sort of. She is technicly dead." Ezra was supprised and very sad. "I'm sorry Zare." "It's not your fault."
"Zare." "Yeah?" Ezra looked very serious. "Come with me." Zare was supprised, but it was a pleasant supprise. "I woud love to." "Come on then!" Zare took off his armour so now he was wearing an elastic black suit. He gathered the armour pieces, and as many weapons and munition as possible into big supply crates. He ripped of the Imperial logo from the sides of the crates so they won't draw any suspission. "Let's go Zare!" Zare finished the third crate. "Okay, I'm ready." They walked a to the ship yard, but Zare had no idea where they were heading. "So, Ezra! Where are we going exactly?" "I've been living here for three years, and I was happy. But I allways had an escape plan. And here it is." They arrived at a rusty big door that written: DOCK 379. Jason was already waiting there. When he spotted Ezra he immidietly runned to him and gave him a hug. "I was so worried about you." Ezra looked him in the eye and said "As long as I live... I will be there for you." Ezra now lookes at Zare. "Jason I want you to meet a good friend of mine, Zare Leonis. He will come with us too. " Jason looked at him and gave him a happy smile. "Hi."
"Zare, meet Jason Sutt." Zare smiled back at Jason "Hello Jason."
Ezra walked to the controll panel of the huge rusty old door and unlocked it. The door slowly opened up. They entered the dock and looked at Ezra's ship. The Phantom, he took it when he left the crew.
"Come on! We have to hurry!"
They packed up the ship with everything they needed. Then they were ready for take off. Ezra started the engines and slowly they flyed out of the planet's orbit. Now that they were in space, Ezra didn't really know what to do next. He had no idea where shoud they go. After ten minutes of waiting Zare coudn't wait any longer. "Ezra! Where are we going?" Ezra had lot of time to think about it. After all this wasn't all about him, he had to take care of Jason. And look over Zare's shoulder. He slowly entered the hyperspace coordinates into the navy computer and said. "Home. We're going home." And then they jumped into hyperspace. After twenty minutes. They've quit hyperspace, and arrived at the peacefull planet of Atollon. Ezra activated the radio speaker and said: "Chopper base... This is Ezra Bridger, requesting premmision to land... I repeat this is Ezra Bridger, requesting premmision to land." Nothing... But then suddenly. "Ezra Bridger, this is Chopper base. Premission granted..." Ezra was so happy to be back there. He originaly didn't wanted to see the ghost crew again but now that he is here back at Atolon, he felt thrilled to see everyone.

He reached atmosphere and landed the Phantom. He asked Jason and Zare to stay in the ship. And When he calls Zare will come out too.

Ezra slowly walked around hoping to find the Ghost. After a few minutes of shearch he found the ship and spotted Zeb and Sabine.
'Wait... Something's wrong.' Ezra was terrefied. And fell to his knees when he noticed his old friend's, Zeb's Robotic arm. 'Oh no.' He runned to them. But something was also wrong with Sabine, Ezra coud feel it. Her Mandalorian helmet was repainted, but the spot where her left eye woud be was painted white.
"Sabine, Zeb. I'm sorry. I shoudn't have left." Zeb looked at him and said in his deep throaty voice. "Don't balme yourself kid. Wasn't yout fault." "No it wasn't" Sabine's voice was deeper and more serious then Ezra rememberd. She took off her helmet. 'Oh no, no, no!'

Sabine's face was mostly the same. No major cahges in her apparence, only the long scar running through her eye, and the eyepatch she was wearing. Ezra blamed himself for what happened to his friends. "Zeb's right Ezra. Don't blame yourself. You coudn't have done anything to prevent this from happening." Ezra didn't listen to her. "Sabine. Who did this?" Suddenly a deep and relaxing friendly voice said: "It was Maul."
The voice belonged to Kanan Jarrus. Ezra's master. Ezra felt his hatred growing for Maul, he trusted him and then he betrayed him and tryed to kill Kanan. And now he attacked his friends. No, his family.

"Don't worry about Him Ezra. Maul is dead. his ship was blown up by our fighters just before he entered hyperspace."
Ezra looked at his old blind master.
"Kanan. We need to talk. But before we do that. I have recruited someone to our cause." Ezra looked behind his back. Knowing that Zare was following him the whole time.
"Meet Zare Leonis! Former 501's stormtrooper Squad leader." Sabine looked at him. "I'll introduce him to commander Sato. They walked away. Also Zeb went back to train the soliders with Rex. Now it Was only Kanan and Ezra. "So. Ezra... What did you wanted to talk about?"

"Just a moment Kanan. I just want to see Hera. Do you know where she is?"
Kanan's tone dropped. "Ezra. I have to show you Something." Ezra followed Kanan onto the Ghost, into Hera's room. And there laied Hera. On a life support machine. Unconscious. "Kanan, what happened to her?" Ezra was now terrefied. This was not how he immagined his reunion with the Ghost crew. "Two years ago... when Maul attacked us. Only me and Hera were able to fight after Maul cutted off Zeb's arm, and cutted out Sabine's eye. At some point of the fight he used a force push on both of us and Hera hit her head really hard. After I stabbed Maul on several places he ran away. Hera fell into a deep coma. She's been like this for two years, and we don't know if she will ever wake up."
Ezra coudn't controll himself anymore. He started to cry and hugged Kanan.
"M sorry, I've left. I Shoud have stayed. Then this woudn't have happened." 'Okay, it's okay. Get yourself together Ezra. Focus on the priority.' Ezra stopped crying. "Kanan. I need your help. I've found a force sensitive boy. His name is Jason. But he uses the dark side of the force, he even opened the sith holocron, thank god I coud stop him from using it. Kanan, I need your help becouse I haven't finished my training." "I see. Ezra. I will finish your training and help you train the boy, but I won't do it. I will not train the kid alone, he's your padawan. Do you understand?" Ezra sighed. He thought Kanan woud train Jason too like he trained him, but maybe it's for the best. "Okay." Kanan smiled. "Well come on Ezra!" "What do you mean? Where?" "Just follow me!" Ezra didn't understand what is going on. "But what about Jason? He's still in the Phantom."
"No, he's not. He felt my presence. He's with Zeb." Kanan didn't had to see to know that Ezra is worried. "Don't worry Ezra. He'll be fine."
"But Kanan, what are we doing?"
"Well Ezra, we are taking the first steps to finish your training." They entered Kanan's Cabin. Inside the cabin on the middle of Kanan's desk, there was a broken lightsaber,
it belonged to Maul. Kanan used the force to take it apart and take out the kyber christal. "Kanan. I'm not sure if I coud use this christal for my new lightsaber. I can't hear it's voice, mine had one. But this one is silent." "It's becouse it's bleeding. Have you ever wondered, why was Ashoka's lightsaber's blade was white.
It's becouse, she took the christals from an Inquisitor. A dark side user's lightsaber is red. It's becouse it has been taken and prisoned with so much darkness that it gave up, it decided to serve the darkside but while the dark side user tryed to take over the christal it cracked and bleeded. This is why it's red. Now you see. Ashoka did the same, but she cleared the christal from the evil. And it stopped bleeding but it lost it's color." Ezra was usure what to do with this information. "And?"
"Well, Ezra. You will do the same." Ezra tryed to tell Kanan that he won't be able to do it. But Kanan didn't Care. The next thing Ezra remembers is that he is sitting on the floor and prepares to clean the christal. "Ezra! Before you do it I have to warn you. The christal wont let you clean it that easily you will have visions." "What do you mean visions? What visio...

Ezra felt like he woke up from a dream. He in sitting in the Phantom. Kanan is flying it. And he is not blind. Wait, something is wrong. Ezra's hair is long, and he still has his lightsaber.
"Malachor has allways been considered off limits for the jedi. It's becouse of some old legends told in the temple for the younglings."

"There is allways a bit of truth in legends."

'No. It can't be. It's impossible.'

Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus and Ashoka Tano were on their way to the sith planet Malachor.

I know it's a huge cliffhanger.
