Chapter 2

The message

Okay, time for chapter 2. I have to say I'm liking the responce that this has been getting. It took me no time at all to get the 3 reviews I needed for chapter 1. Also I did some thinking and I decided to give Renton a LL-30S. (Same type Cad Bane Uses) Because and I can't believe I didn't notice this. Kanan uses a DL-18 and I wanted Renton to have a weapon that the others don't. Plus giving him Han or Jango's pistols would just be cliche and a Briar pistol size just wouldn't work with Renton. Alright then. Let's get to the Reviews.

RexFan1333: I do plan to continue Heroes Path and know where I want to go. But I have no idea how to get there for now.

alex 988: Wait no longer.

cptbckthd: First of all: Sorry about the misspell and I went back to fix it. Second: Ezra is not in this. I like Ezra, I just couldn't think of a way to put him in. Finaly: May the Force be with you as well.

Alright now... Let's kick it up!

Renton had just finished a very abridged version to how he came to be in Kanan's company. Understanibly, Kanan was very surprised to learn that the young man next to him was from a world that was uncharted in their galaxy.

"Sounds like you've had a rough time." Kanan said causing Renton to chuckle.

"You have no idea." Renton said before Kanan looked up at the cealing.

"You know, if you want. You can stay here with us while until we can find a way to get you back home." The older man said sensing that he could trust Renton and feeling curious about his power.

"Thanks." Renton said feeling slighly surprised at the mans kindness and with that the 2 of them exchanged names and went in to the main part of Kanan's ship. When they entered, Renton saw Spector 4 and the girl from earlier whohad taken off her helmet to reveal her short dark blue hair with orange lining across her bangs and around her ears. Just then a green shined women wearing a yellow and brown jumpsuit and silver pilot goggles over 2 tail like apendages on her head.

"So you guys want to tell me what happened?" The green skined women asked Kanan.

"It was a trap. The Empire let the info spill on purpose so they could take us out when we came to rescue the slaves." Kanan explained

'Great, more rebels. At least freeing slaves is better than... what ever the Gekkostate wants.' Renton thought before his presance was noticed.

"Who's the kid?" She asked.

"This is Renton Thurston. He was captured by the imperials when they found his planet outside the outer rim. Renton, this is Hera, Zeb, and Sabine." Kanan said as the droid began acting crazy. "Oh, and Chopper." He said pointing at the droid.

"It's nice to meet all of you." Renton said while bowing his head to them.

"Nice to meet you too." Hera responded before looking down. "Just a shame the Wookies wearn't really there." She said saddly which caused Renton's brow to raise.

"Wait a minute. I heared the Emperials talking about Wookies before they got me."

"You sure about that?" Kanan asked the boy.

"Yeah. They said they were taking them to the uhh... Spice mines of Kessel." He said causing most of them to take a noticable step back. "I'll take it you've heard of them." He said noticing there surprise.

"Slaves who get seant there bairly last a few months. It's even worse on Wookies because of being born in a forest enviroment." Sabine explained. Renton then took a moment to process what he was just told.

"Well then, we better go help them." Renton said.

"We?" Kanan asked feeling a bit suprised.

"I can't just turn my back when people are in trouble." Renton said with a smile causing him to get a smirk from Zeb, a soft smile from Hera, a proud grin from Kanan, and a warm smile with a slight but noticible blush from Sabine.

"Alright then. Hera, set course for Kessel." Kanan said as Hera went to the cockpit.

A few minutes later, Renton was sitting at the table in the middle of the ships living room when Kanan came up and sat at the other side of the table before setting a gunbelt and a blue glass cube on the table. Inside the holster on the belt was a slim pistol with a flashlight on top. The metal on the grip and underside of the pisol had been painted dark blue while the barrel had been painted bright red and the grip padding was painted black with a red version of the bird symbol. (Sabine got a hold of it. In case you can't tell.)

Renton looked over the blaster for a few moments before putting on the gun belt and putting the blaster back in the holster. His gaze then went to the cube. "What's that?" He asked before Kanan picked it up and handed it to him.

"It's a kind a puzzle. You look like you could use something to calm your mind." Kanan said as he went up to the cockpit, where Hera was looking at a Renton on a camera.

"You really think he can do it?" Hera asked Kanan as he sat down next to her.

"I saw it when Kallus grabbed him." Kanan said before focusing on the monitor. "He has the power. Now we just have to see if he has the focus." He said.

Meanwhile, back in the living room. "Hmm. No hinges, no buttons, not even a single turning mechanism. How am I supposed to open this thing?" Renton asked himself before setting the cube down. "Wait a second." He said in whisper as Kanan's words to 'calm his mind' before he closed his eyes and began to fucus on the cube. As he did so, the 8 corners of the cube did a quarter turn before coming out as the entire thing began to float as a small hologram of a middle aged bearded man man in monk like robes. After a few seconds the man began to speek.

"This is Master Obi Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi order and the Republic have fallen with dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder to all survivng Jedi. Trust in the Force." The man said before a small alarm went off and the corners went back to the cube before it floated down to Renton's hands.

"He did it." Kanan said with a smile.

"So what are you going to do now?" Hera asked as he looked down at a device resembling the hilt of a sword.

"That's all up to the kid." He said as the ship came out of hyperspace and approached Kessel. (This is about the part where you might want to start playing the Skywalker theme while picturing the camera zooming in slowly on Renton.)

And there you go. Hope you liked chapter 2. Now before I go I have a couple things I want to run by you guys. First: Would you guys object to having Renton steal an experimantal ship (Rouge Shadow) and Droid Proxy from the empire? Second: Should I ad Leia in to this fic? Please vote in the reviews. Also, I'm sorry if this chapter was too short. I'll try to make the next 1 longer. Well, until next time. Keep on keeping on.
