DANNY CAN GIVE AN ANSWER THE REBELS DISCOVER

THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TRACKED BY THE EVIL EMPIRE

AND THAT AN ATTACK ON THEIR FLEET IS EMMINENT...

Danny watched as the bridge tried to take control of the situation they were currently in. Apparently the Empire had managed to track The Rebels here to the rest of the fleet using the stolen shuttle. Danny could sense panic and fear running through some of the men. He could see Ahsoka and the rest of The Rebels gathered around the circular table in the middle of the bridge. The table was projecting some sort of diagram or map in the middle of the room. Danny stopped trying to figure out what it was when he realized he couldn't make out anything on the image other than a few shapes which he could only guess were ships. But everybody else seemed to understand it. Danny didn't really have any idea of what he should be doing at the moment. So he was content with just standing there watching them all. The scene reminded Danny of some of the old sci-fi television shows that he watched as a kid. A bunch of humans and aliens in a white command room on a spaceship; except this wasn't a television show; this was real.

"We're tracking one target; no other ships have entered the system." One man said to Commander Sato.

"Move Phoenix Squadron to intercept." Sato ordered.

A few minutes later Danny turned to look out the window just in time to see eight smaller ships fly. Danny noticed their design and remembered seeing some of them when he was in the hanger. They looked like a fat arrow and were painted white with blue markings. Danny watched as they took off. This was so cool he thought at the possibility of actually seeing a space battle. Danny's eagerness was sort lived as realization dawned on him; this wasn't some video game or movie; this was real. Real people would be fighting and dying if this space battle took place. Danny immediately felt a little shammed thinking that the battle would be exciting. He turned around briefly just in time to catch a glance from Ahsoka. Danny forgot; with this Force and Jedi ways thing she told him about she probably knew what he was feeling. Ahsoka then turned her attention back to the weird diagram thing as a red light suddenly appeared on it.

"Fighter coming in at Mark III." One of the pilots said over his com to the bridge.

Danny turned his attention back towards the ships flying through space and decided to take a closer look at the battle using his enhanced sight. He could see the eight arrow ships firing red laser blasts towards another ship. The new ship looked like a silver ball with strange bent wings or panels. It started to spin as it dodged the laser fire before returning to a normal position and firing its own green lasers. Danny got an uneasy feeling when he noticed how similar the strange ship's lasers were to his Ghost Rays. The strange ship hit one of the arrow ships and it exploded into a ball of flame; causing the others to scatter in order to avoid debris. Danny felt a horrible feeling inside of him; he just watched someone die. He just watched the death of a living, breathing person and he didn't or couldn't do anything to prevent it.

"He's coming in too fast." Another pilot said over the com.

"Fleet raise deflector shields." Hera ordered.

"We've lost Phoenix One and Two."

Yeah; this was almost exactly like one of those old sci-fi shows he watched. But Danny turned around just in time to see the end of a second explosion. This attacker, this lone fighter had already killed two people and Danny couldn't do anything about it. He saw the attacking ship continue to make its way towards them briefly firing a few shots at another massive ship. However the brief attack seemed to do little damage to the big ship. What caught Danny's attention though was the attacking ships trajectory. It was now heading directly towards him; or rather the ship he was currently in.

"He's heading right for us." Danny could hear Ezra say in the background.

"Enemy fighter's making for the command ship."

Danny watched as the attacking ship got closer. Danny could still sense the evil and just altogether unpleasantness of the person in the ship. Danny also wondered why this ship didn't have turrets or laser guns of its own to fight back. You'd think if you're rebelling against an Empire you would be able to defend or have defences on your main ship. He watched as the attacking ship fired a volley of green lasers towards the command ship. It must have hit something because Danny saw the explosion before he felt the force of it. Through the window he could see the blinding light of a newly formed fire ball and bits and pieces of the ship being sent flying though space. Then the bridge lights started to flicker as the whole ship was rocked from the force of the explosion. Danny raised his arms in his best attempt to keep his footing and balance as the ship shook beneath him. Glancing over briefly he could see the others doing the same. The shaking soon subsided and the bridge lights returned to normal as if nothing had ever happened.

"How can one fighter best our entire squadron?" Sato shouted in anger and disbelief.

"Your pilots are outmatched commander." Hera said before taking off towards the door.

"What are you doing?" Kanan asked as he turned towards Hera.

"Getting involved." Hera replied before running through the bridge's main door.

"Not without me you're not." Kanan said as he followed suit.

"Let's go, Ezra come on!" Sabine shouted as she also took off; quickly followed by Zeb and Chopper.

"Mind if I tag along?" Ahsoka asked.

"The more the merrier." Ezra replied with a smile.

Ahsoka was about to take off with Ezra when she paused for a moment and looked back towards Danny. Danny just continued to watch the battle raging on in space. The attacking ship had taken out two more of the arrow ships and there was no doubt more would fall soon. Danny felt helpless people were dying and there was little he could do about it. He was so tempted to just fly out of this ship and attack the enemy ship. But that would be suicide because even with his ghost powers and half-dead status even he could only survive in the vacuum of space for a very brief amount of time without the proper equipment. But he knew he had to do something to help. He wasn't going to stand her any longer and watch people die if there was anything he could do to help. This was a space ship after all; they must have some form of equipment or space suits somewhere that he could use. Danny was taken out of his thoughts when he felt a warm hand on his cold shoulder. He turned around to see Ahsoka standing behind him.

"You want to tag along two?" she asked.

Danny gave her a questioning look. This whole situation was still strange to him. But she was the one offering to help him learn these new Force powers and help him find his way back home. Plus right now they were under attack and needed help. If he went with them there might be something he could do and prevent more deaths. He turned back to Ahsoka with a face of determination and gave a small smile. Ahsoka gave a smile of her own before she, along with Danny took off to catch up to the others.

Danny followed Ahsoka down the hallways of the ship until they came to a large hatch on a wall. The hatch opened to reveal Kanan on the other side waiting for them. He gave a brief look of surprise at seeing Danny with Ahsoka but shrugged it off and gave a smile; more help the better. Danny noticed the hallways were now very different from before. Before the hallways were colored white with a few black panels with blinking lights. They were also nice, clean and reflective. Now they seemed smaller, grey and dirtier. In fact if Danny had to guess he'd say he probably boarded an entirely different ship. He followed Ahsoka and Kanan through the new halls until they came to door. It opened to reveal a small room with a large glass dome. Hera was sitting in front of it pushing buttons and flipping switches. Danny was right he was on a different ship. Ahsoka took the co-pilot seat next to Hera while Kanan sat down in a chair behind her. Danny seeing there was only one other chair in the room and having no idea what to do also took a seat.

"Everyone check in." Hera said over the coms.

"Tail gun, check." Zeb said.

"Turret, check" Sabine reported.

"Nose gun, check" Ezra reported last.

"Alright kids, do mom and dad proud." Hera said as she flipped one last switch.

"Here he comes!" Kanan shouted as he pointed at the window.

Danny looked to see the attacking ship return and start to make its way towards the command ship. Once again there was nothing to stop the ship from attacking as it unleashed a volley of green laser blasts at the command ship. Seconds later multiple explosions appeared on the front of the command ship and the whole ship shook from the force; just like before. The lone fighter just flew over the explosions and continued to fly past the command ship. It was probably preparing to make another pass and attack again; which from the looks of the command ship would be a final blow.

"We've lost our shields." A voice said over the com.

"Ghost moving to engage." Hera said as she grabbed the controls.

Danny almost did a double take on Hera's last sentence. Did he just hear her right Ghost; he would have to ask about that later after they dealt with this attacker. The ship suddenly shook and Danny could see the stars through the window start to move. Correction they weren't moving; the ship he was in was moving. Danny felt his eyes glued to the window or what was probably the cockpit of this ship and found himself enchanted by the sight before him. Ever since he was a little kid all he wanted to do was become an astronaut and explore the unknown reaches of space. He was practically living a dream right now. He was resisting the urge to ask if he could fly the ship. But Danny remembered that this wasn't a fantasy; this was real and right now people were dying. He watched as the attacking ship came into view again, it was directly ahead of them.

"I'm on him." Sabine said over the com.

Danny then looked to see several red laser blasts appear and fly towards the attacking fighter. Danny again thought it strange that this ship had weapons and guns but their big command ship didn't. Danny watched as the laser blasts got closer to the attacking ship. But at the last moment before they hit their target the attacking ship performed a bunch of evasive manoeuvres. Every shot Sabine had fired completely missed the target. Danny however seemed to pick up on something. The attacking ship only moved to evade a moment before it would have been too late. It was either insane luck or the attacker was toying with them. Danny figured this because it's something he himself had done with his enemies occasionally.

"Who is this guy?" Sabine said over the com. From the sound of her voice it seemed like it was unusual for her to miss.

"Phoenix Home to Ghost; we can't withstand another attack from that fighter." Sato said over the com. Danny was right they were finished if they were attacked again. Maybe next time they'll give their command ship weapons and offences to prevent this thing from happening.

"Copy that; Phoenix Squad form up and focus fire." Hera said as she gripped the controls of the ship tighter.

"The Force is strong with him...Kanan let's find out how strong." Ahsoka said.

"How can I help?"

"Just remember your training."

Kanan and Ahsoka then took a deep breath before they closed their eyes. Danny watched as Kanan placed his hand on Ahsoka's shoulder and raised his other one. Danny watched what they were doing. It seemed like they were trying to meditate or focus on something. Based on what he had learned he guessed they were probably using The Force to find something out about the person piloting the attacking ship. Danny didn't know why but all he got from the ship was a bad vibe; a dreadful feeling, evil and cold yet familiar. He turned his attention away from Ahsoka and Kanan and looked back out the cockpit to see the attacking ship make its way back towards the command ship; which was now in a horrible state. A huge fire was raging on the front of the ship and it slowly started to turn downwards; like it had lost control. Several more red lasers came shooting towards the attacking ship and once again they all missed their target as the strange ship started to spin to avoid them. Whoever was piloting the attacking ship was either very lucky or an ace pilot. But they had to stop him; if he managed to attack the command ship again; who knows what would happen.

"There's something familiar...I feel cold, I think I know who it is." Ezra said over the com.

Danny picked up at that. Ezra found something about this ship familiar too or the person in the ship. Then it hit Danny; like he was slammed into a brick wall. If Ezra felt this too then it was because of this Force thing. Danny had only been made aware of it since he got here and there was only one thing he had encountered here that would give off so much evil and coldness. It was like a black hole sucking up all life and light wherever it goes. It was the black figure from the planet he appeared on. The evil person he battled and saved the Rebels from. Danny could swear as soon as he realized that he could hear the evil being's mechanical breathing ringing in his ears. He looked to Ahsoka and Kanan; Ahsoka and a troubled look on her face.

"Back on Lothal I felt something, Kanan did too. The fear, the anger, the hate...It's the Sith Lord we faced."

"The apprentice lives."

Danny didn't know how but he swore he could somehow hear the Sith Lord speak; as if his presence was in the cockpit of the ship with them. Suddenly Ahsoka's eyes shot open and she let out a scream of shock and pain before she fell back in her chair unconscious. Kanan grabbed her and tried to wake her up but it was to no avail. Something had happened to her while she was using The Force; if that was what she was doing. Danny hoped that she would be okay. He might not know her that well but she had been kind and helpful to him when she didn't have to be and was offering to help him. Danny turned his attention back to the attacking fighter which was closing in on the command ship. However what happened next surprised Danny. The attacker didn't attack the command ship; instead it veered up and over them so it was now behind their ship. Danny's curiosity spiked; the Sith Lord broke off from his attack; he gave up the perfect chance to destroy the command ship and all those aboard; but why?

"Captain Syndulla whatever you're doing keep it up the fleet can recover." Sato said over the com.

"No commander you need to get the fleet out of here now!" Kanan responded; looking up from the unconscious Ahsoka for a brief second.

"I will not abandon our command ship!"

"We don't have a choice sir; without a hyperdrive you must abandon ship." Hera responded.

"Sir we have Star Destroyers in Sector 5." Someone else said over the com.

Danny didn't know what a Star Destroyer was; but from the name and the reactions he saw from the Rebels he knew they weren't anything good. Suddenly the ship began to shake and rumble; they must be taking hits from the attacker now. Danny remembered the Sith Lord pulled his ship up and over them so he was now behind them. He stopped his attack on the command ship so he could go after them. He could sense the fear and worry in Hera as the situation continued to worsen. Danny hated not being able to do anything; just sitting here and watching; he had to do something to help; but what?

"It's now or never commander." Kanan spoke into the com.

"I regretfully agree all hands abandon ship; you'll have to keep that fighter occupied." Sato ordered.

"Don't worry sir; we seem to have his attention." Hera replied as she gripped the controls to the ship tighter and started to maneuver the ship.

Danny looked out the cockpit to see three giant triangular shapes in the distance. Upon his closer study he realized that they were three massive ships that were currently heading towards the Rebel Fleet and them. Danny guessed that these were the Star Destroyers the Rebels had mentioned. Danny looked around; his new friends were in trouble and he had to do something to help. He couldn't stand or sit by anymore he had to do something even if it was crazy. Then it came to him; he got an idea. It was crazy but it could work or at least he hoped it would work. Danny immediately got up from his chair and started to make his way towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Kanan asked.

"I have an idea on how to get that ship off our tails." Danny replied before he continued on his way.

"There's suddenly a lot to do back here." Zeb called in.

"Sorry to spoil you're fun Zeb, but I'm ordering Chopper to divert all power to the hyperdrive including cannons." Hera said as she started to flip switches again.

"Hera what are you doing?" Sabine questioned in shock and disbelief.

"I think I know." Ezra added.

Danny slid down a ladder which led to an open room. Danny guessed that this must be the ship's cargo hold near the back. Danny could still feel the ship shaking with every hit from the enemy ship. It was now or never; it was time to put his crazy plan to the test. It was suicide to fly out into the vacuum of space without the proper equipment; even for him but he didn't necessarily need to fly out or come back. Danny focused and used his powers to split himself in two using his duplication ability. Danny had been practicing the ability for a while now; ever since he saw Vlad do it. The first couple times he would end up horrific and freaky with multiple body parts growing out of another. But now he's managed to master duplicating himself into at least two beings. He was almost able to duplicate himself four times but he still needed practice. For now one copy of himself would work. Danny; the real Danny decided to sit down and put all his concentration into his copy; who knew what to do.

The copy of Danny jumped into the air and turned intangible; letting the ship he was in pass right through him. The duplicate Danny floated there in space for a few seconds; taking in everything around him; amazed at the silence; not a sound could be heard. But he then turned his attention back to the attacking ship which was now behind him; or rather coming right at him. Danny stayed intangible all the way up to the moment the attacking ship would have collided with him. Danny then dropped his intangibility so he was now inside the ship. Danny found himself looking straight into the helmet of the Sith Lord; if he took another step he'd be kissing that black mask. The Sith Lord was taken aback at his sudden appearance.

Danny could feel the hate, anger, evil and coldness pouring from the being. All of Danny's senses and instincts were telling him to get away from the vile being; something this evil should not exist. However Danny quickly recovered from the feeling of the Sith Lord's presence and acted quickly. First he grabbed the controls from the Sith Lord and covered them in a thin layer of ice, locking them in place. The presence of ice and coldness also caused the cockpit's glass to fog up bit; temporarily blinding the ship. Then he turned his hand intangible before reaching into the bottom of the ship. The duplicate Danny then turned its hand tangible again and using his enhanced strength pulled its hand free. The duplicate's hand came free; bringing a metal panel and some wires with it. The ship suddenly lost control and started to spin and spiral in every direction. It seemed Danny had pulled something important to the ship out; which was good for him and bad for the Sith Lord. Danny then smiled and gave the Sith Lord a little wave before he disconnected from the copy; which vanished out of existence. Danny; the real one back on the other ship opened his eyes as he regained control over one body. He wished he could have seen the look on The Sith Lord's face at his sudden appearance and sabotage of his ship. But for some reason he felt like it wouldn't be a pretty sight. After all the Sith Lord had to be wearing that mask for a reason right?

Danny didn't know anything about the attacking ship. He just hoped that he sabotaged something important but based on the result it seemed to be the steering or stabilizing controls he ripped out. He just hoped he bought his new friends enough time to escape; speaking of which he should probably get back to them. Danny immediately turned around; choosing to fly over the ladder instead of climbing it and raced back to the cockpit of the ship. The scene hadn't really changed much in the few minutes he was gone. Hera was still piloting and Kanan was still looking over the unconscious Ahsoka. But this time Chopper seemed to be plugged into something and doing something.

"Ghost Crew, escape pods are secure, Fleet commence hyperspace jump." Sato reported.

"Copy that Commander; we'll meet you at Safe Haven." Hera replied.

"Where did you go?" Kanan asked as Danny took a seat.

"I took care of our attacker; oh by the way I can confirm it was that Sith Lord guy." Danny replied like it was no big deal.

"The Fleet is away; get us out of here!" Sabine reported.

"Everyone hang on!" Hera shouted.

Danny looked out the cockpit window to see that the Star Destroyers; if that's what they were called; were closer than before. They were flying right towards them in fact; which Danny guessed was not a good idea...ever. Suddenly the ship shook again and green laser blasts could be seen passing the ship. Danny sighed; it seems his sabotage was not as good as he thought and The Sith Lord had somehow regained control of his ship again.

"I thought you said you took care of him?" Kanan asked.

"I thought I did; guess I pulled the wrong wires; I figured my job was done when he started to spin out of control."

"Chopper angle all deflectors astern." Hera ordered; the only response from the droid was a couple of noises Danny didn't understand.

"The Star Destroyers aren't the ones firing at us, now do it, fast!"

This time Chopper just said one thing but because of the way it sounded and the way he moved his little arm Danny was able to understand him this time. Danny took in the feelings of the crew. They were all worried and concerned; all except Hera who while having those feelings but also had confidence. Danny knew that she was planning something. Figuring there wasn't really anything else he could do now; Danny decided to just sit and have faith that Hera knew what she was doing. The ship got closer to the Star Destroyers; it was right between two of them now. Danny could see the giant laser cannons on the side and wondered why they weren't firing at them. The ship still shook a little as they were hit from the Sith Lord's attack.

"Hera?" Kanan voiced his worry.

"Wait...wait...Gotcha!"

Hera then activated something on the controls in front of her and something amazing happened. Danny was looking out of the cockpit towards the Stars and Star Destroyers when suddenly the stars started to change. They started to grow into bright blue lines and filled the entire view with blue light. Not even a second later Danny felt himself shoot forwards with the ship. Suddenly the Star Destroyers and the stars themselves disappeared until there was nothing but a blue vortex in front of them. Danny then realized they must be traveling at light speed or something. He had heard them mention something like a hyperdrive; so this must have been it. Hera was saving it for the last minute to surprise the enemy. Danny sighed in relief at their escape; wishing he could have seen the Imperials faces.

Meanwhile on one of The Star Destroyers; Admiral Kassius Konstantine was awaiting word that they had finally captured the Rebel scum. Lord Vader had managed to separate one of the ships from the main fleet and while the fleet had managed to escape; Lord Vader had been successful in destroying their command ship. The rebels could run for know but without a command ship they were scattered; they would be easy to pick off. Now they had prepared the tractor beam; ready to capture the Rebels when they got close to them. He saw out of the corner of his eye that something had been caught in the tractor beam. They had finally done it there was no way the rebels would be able to escape this time.

"Give me a status report on the rebel craft." He asked one of the officers on the bridge.

"Sir we've locked onto a ship, but it's not the rebel craft it's...its Lord Vader's ship." The officer reported.

Admiral Konstantine immediately felt his jaw drop and he was immediately paralyzed by fear. Not only had the rebels managed to escape but instead of capturing them they caught Lord Vader. The admiral looked around the bridge which had grown silent in shock and fear. If one were to drop a pin everyone on the bridge would be able to hear it. The silence was deafening and you did not have to be a force sensitive to feel the fear and dread in the room. Vader was known to get rid of officers and staff that displeased him. If he wanted to live through the day he would need to salvage the situation. A good place to start would be releasing Lord Vader.

"Re...Release him immediately." He ordered; finding his voice again.

The officer immediately turned around to look back at his controls. A few buttons and switches later the sound of the tractor beam being de-powered could be heard. The other men in the room started to relax but their fear and dread were still present; just waiting for their next instruction and praying that Vader would have mercy on them all. The admiral pretended to dust something off of his uniform; a nervous habit of his; before recollecting himself and turning to the officer in charge of the tractor beam.

"It's not your fault officer..." he said; noticing the officer wiped sweat from his forehead. "...but Lord Vader won't know that." He added.

Danny hovered invisibly over the controls of the ship; looking out the window watching as Chopper began to repair a part of the ship. It had just been over an hour since they escaped The Empire and the Sith Lord. As soon as they were in safe space they exited the swirling blue vortex and the stars returned to normal. Immediately the Rebels took action and started to look over the ship and collect status reports. Danny, having little to no idea about how anything on this ship worked since it was way more advanced than any NASA shuttle he ever saw or looked at decided to stay out of their way. Ahsoka had regained consciousness a few moments ago and had asked for Kanan and Ezra to meet her in the cockpit.

Danny was of course relived to see that she was okay but it still concerned him. What exactly happened to her or what did she experience that caused her to lose consciousness. She was rubbing her...well Danny didn't really know what to call them...horns maybe? Anyways she was rubbing her horns like one would rub their head during a headache. She briefly looked up towards him and gave a small smile. Danny forgot even invisible they could; or at least Ahsoka could tell where he was. Suddenly the door to the cockpit opened and Ezra and Kanan entered the room.

"Ahsoka, Hera said you wanted to speak with us?" Ezra asked.

"Please come in" Ahsoka said; her tone of voice revealing that she was still in a little pain.

"Are you okay?" Ezra voiced his concern as he and Kanan took a seat.

"I am thank you...I wanted to ask you about the Sith Lord you encountered on Lothal." Ahsoka said; getting right to the topic.

"You know we encountered an Inquisitor before but this was nothing like that. The fear, the anger, the hate, you felt it. I haven't sensed a presence like that since..." Kanan said before he started to trail off.

"...The Clone Wars." Ahsoka finished for him.

"Yeah." Kanan said.

Danny could tell from the tone of voice Kanan used that this topic was sensitive or personal for him. Danny wondered just what the heck The Clone Wars was? Maybe it was some war this galaxy had. Danny wondered if he should take the moment to leave as this conversation didn't really have anything to do with him. But he figured he would stay for a bit. It wasn't like he had anywhere else to go. Ahsoka was the only one who knew he was here; at least that he knew of. He didn't know if Kanan or Ezra could sense him as well as Ahsoka; maybe she had more experience at it. Regardless if he wasn't supposed to hear any of this then Ahsoka probably would have asked him to leave.

"Ahsoka...do you know who or what he is?" Ezra asked.

"No I don't..." Ahsoka said after a pause. Danny could tell from the way she spoke and reacted that Ahsoka was hiding something. But it wasn't his business so he wasn't going to pry. "...but I do know that he'll be coming...they'll all be coming now." Ahsoka continued before she turned to look out the cockpit into space.

"Then we got to be ready to fight." Ezra replied with confidence in his voice.

"We must find the strength to fight but the greater courage is knowing when not to fight." Kanan told Ezra.

Words of wisdom; Danny had learned that lesson the hard way on one or more occasion during his exploits. Sometimes it was better to retreat and regroup then stay on the offensive. Granted he usually didn't have to do that but when he found himself outmatched or overpowered he would retreat and come up with a new strategy. The door to the cockpit opened and the rest of the crew; minus Chopper who was still outside fixing the ship; walked in. Danny had to move out of the way so Sabine wouldn't bump into him. Thankfully Danny wasn't claustrophobic otherwise the lack of space in the cockpit currently would have started to bother him.

"And we'll be beside you either way." Hera spoke in response to Kanan's words.

As the Rebels started to chat with each other about something Danny turned his attention back to Ahsoka. She started to stare off into the vastness of space. Danny didn't need these new Force powers to know that something was bothering her. She was hiding something he could tell; just from the way she reacted to the Sith Lord and talking about him. Maybe she did know him or at least who he was. However it wasn't any of his business so it wasn't right to pry. If he didn't need to know and she didn't want anybody to know then that was that. Danny decided he needed some air or at least some space as the cockpit started to feel smaller and smaller. Danny; still invisible transformed his legs into his ghost tail and made his way out the door. He didn't need his tail to fly or float but it helped with moving and changing directions. Plus if he was in a zero gravity environment like space or water it gave him momentum and propulsion. He sailed carefully over the heads of the others; not wanting to hit them with his tail; which slithered like a snake as he moved.

Danny started to make his way through the ship. He had gone through it before but he was always in a hurry and he didn't take the time to look at design or layout with detail. Just outside the cockpit were several doors which probably lead to sleeping quarters if Danny had to guess. Danny wanted to look; feeling like a child wanting to explore a real life spaceship; wanting to see every nook and cranny of it. But he didn't want to give the rebels any reason to not trust him plus if he wouldn't like someone going through his room without permission then neither would they. At the end of the small hallway was another door which leads to a hallway; each side was identical. And on the end was a door which Danny could only guess was a docking area as that's the way he came when he entered with the others. Danny continued as he entered another door and came into what he could only describe as a living room. It was much larger than the cockpit; it had a rounded seat and a table decorated like a chessboard; or at least the colors and patterns of one.

"What about you Danny?"

Danny turned around at the mention of his name to see Ashoka had entered the room behind him. She must have felt or sensed him leaving and decided to follow him. She also must have asked the others to come with her because all the Rebels; again minus Chopper also followed her. It was really starting to bother him that she could always tell where he was even when he was invisible. It was like he had a tracker on him or something but he couldn't get rid of it. Danny actually didn't really know why he continued to stay invisible. He had already introduced himself to them so there was no reason to hide. In fact if anything staying invisible might make him even more suspicious. So he dropped his invisibility and revealed himself to be floating right over the chessboard thing. Sabine only took a few steps back at his sudden appearance while Ezra and Zeb both jumped. Danny forgot; Ahsoka, Kanan, Hera and Chopper were the only ones who knew he was on the ship. The others were already somewhere else when he got on. Apparently the others didn't tell them he was on the ship either based on their reactions.

"Hey kid would you knock that off?" Zeb growled.

"How long have you been here?" Ezra asked.

"Ahsoka invited me to tag along, I figured there might have been something I could do to help; anything was better than standing in that room watching people die." Danny replied as he transformed his legs back to normal and landed on the floor.

"Then why didn't you do anything; and why were you still invisible?" Ezra asked.

"Okay kid first off; the invisible thing is a force of habit okay and secondly I did do something; I managed to get the Sith Lord off our tails for a while; though I'll admit I could have done a better job; I tried to disable his ship; but all I really did was make it spin out of control."

"Wait that was you?" Sabine asked shocked.

"Wait; did I miss something here?" Ezra asked.

"Well when we were being chased by The Sith Lord; if that was who was in that Tie Advanced there was a moment when it lost control of its stabilizers and started to spin; it didn't last long and it soon regained control."

"So I did rip out the stabilizers; okay so then for future reference where are the wires that disable the ship completely located?" Danny asked Sabine.

"Wait you were on that TIE?" Kanan asked.

"I told you I had a plan and it worked...for a little while though I admit I might have been able to do more."

"But how did you get on it?"

"At this point are you really surprised Kanan?" Sabine asked.

"Yeah you should be asking the kid what he can't do." Zeb added.

"Or we could ask if he's made a decision on Ahsoka's offer." Ezra added; receiving a look from everyone present.

"What that's why we're all here isn't it; I can't be the only one wondering if he's going to join us." Ezra responded.

"Yes." Danny replied simply; catching the attention of all present.

"What was that?" Ahsoka asked.

"I said yes; I'll help you."

"But why you don't owe us anything? Sabine asked; her voice showing suspicion, interest and curiosity.

"That's right I don't owe you anything and you don't owe me anything; but it's what I do; I told you back on the command ship that helping people in need is what I do. It's my whole existence basically. Back on the ship you asked me to join you; to help me learn these new powers of mine and find a way to get me home. This isn't my universe; or galaxy whatever you want to call it and this is not my battle..."

Danny paused as he took in the faces and reactions of the people present. What he was saying was true this wasn't his universe he didn't have any obligation to help the people here. But he also didn't have any idea on how to get back home; so for now he was stuck here; and as long as he was stuck here this universes problems were his problems. Plus if there was this dark or evil power that could corrupt him because of this Force thing then he would want to avoid it at all costs; learning about it wouldn't hurt. So until he managed to find a way back; hopefully with the help from his new friends; he would continue to do his job of helping those in need; like they do.

"...but I'll be damned if I'm just going to sit back and watch as people suffer and die knowing that I could have done something to save them. Like I said; this isn't my galaxy or my battle; but until I find a way back home; back to Earth, back to my friends and family, I'm stuck here. As long as I'm stuck here this galaxies problems are my problems and I will do whatever I can, I'll do everything within my power, ghost, force or otherwise to stop this Empire. So yes; if you're offering me help in teaching me the good side of this Force stuff and to help me find a way back home I will join you in your battle to help and free others from this evil dictatorship...my answer to your offer is yes." Danny answered truth and honesty in his voice as he extended his hand.

"Welcome to the Rebellion and to the Crew of the Ghost; Danny Phantom." Ahsoka said with a smile as she shook Danny's hand.

Darth Vader made his way through the halls of the Star Destroyer; deep in thought over the day's recent events. Despite the mission given to him by his master; The Emperor; being successful; he was not pleased with the end results. True the Lothal Rebels were broken but Vader now knew who was working with them; a name that he despised; a name that reminds him of a time when he was weak; of a time before he was Darth Vader. That name was Ahsoka Tano; the former Jedi Padawan of Anakin Skywalker. Finally after all these years he had found her. He felt her force signature during his attack. She was trying to focus on his own signature and he knew without a doubt that it was her. He would recognize that force signature anywhere. But he had lost her; just like before she and the Rebels had managed to escape his grasp.

Then there was the boy. The strange boy he encountered on Lothal reappeared during his attack. The boy was a mystery to him. He was powerful with the Force but untrained; if he were to be turned to the Dark Side he would become a powerful ally; maybe one that could help him with his plans. But there were also those strange abilities he demonstrated. The boy seemed to be immune to blasters and was able to withstand a lightsaber blade. He also had his own weapon that resembled a lightsaber; but Vader knew that it was not. The boy could also fly as that's how he escaped him the first time. But he also managed to get inside his own personal TIE Advanced and managed to freeze his controls and pass through the metal casing of the ship and rip out the stabilization circuits to his ship. Fortunately Vader was a skilled mechanic in his former life and knew exactly how to fix the problem. But he wondered why the boy didn't kill him. He had the perfect opportunity to do it but instead he just crippled his ship; purposefully.

Vader approached the doors to the command section of the Star Destroyer's bridge. He needed to report back to his master. This boy however interested him; he needed to know more about him and if he could not be swayed to the Dark Side then he would be eliminated. However if Vader had any hope of using the boy for any of his plans then his master must not know of his existence...at least not yet. Vader finally reached the doors to the command section of the Star Destroyer's bridge. There around the holo-projector stood Imperial Security Bureau Agent Kallus who was in charge of hunting the rebels on Lothal and Admiral Kassius Konstantine. Vader made his way towards them; sensing their fear as they stood at attention upon noticing his presence. Konstantine was probably wondering if he was going to get Force Choked for failing to capture the Rebels. Fortunately for him Vader had more important matters to attend to.

"With their command ship destroyed the Rebel fleet has been shattered; you have them on the run..." Kallus began to report.

"Clear the bridge." Vader demanded.

Vader's reply was swift and authoritative. Kallus and Konstantine were caught off guard by Vader's command but they were smart enough to know they had better follow it. Both men gave a small bow to their lord before they turned around and made their way to the door. As soon as both men were out Vader activated the holo-projector and kneeled before it. The room grew dark as the projector started up and the only sound in the room was that of his mechanical breathing. The projector came into focus; revealing a being; his ancient and scarred face hidden behind a dark cloak. This was none other than his master Darth Sidious; known throughout the galaxy as Emperor Palpatine. After a moment he spoke; his voice was aged and sinister; every word dripping with venom and evil.

"Lord Vader...have you dealt with the Rebels in the Lothal system?"

"Yes Master; they are broken."

"And yet I sense in you something...more to your victory."

There it was; there was little Vader could hide from his master. This man acted as a trusted friend for many years while he slowly swayed him to the Dark Side. Once Vader had realized this it was too late; there was no going back and he was nothing but his slave. Vader swore one day he would overthrow his master for what he's done to him. But the time was not right and he had to be very careful. If his master suspected even the slightest doubt in him all he had to do was fry him with Force Lighting and Vader was finished. Vader did not want to tell his master of the boy he encountered at least not yet so it was better to reveal his other discovery.

"I believe the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker lives and is in league with these rebels." He replied.

"Are you certain?"

"It was her."

"This is an opportunity we cannot let pass; Skywalker's apprentice could lead us to other lost Jedi."

"Such as Kenobi?"

Despite being the one who said the name Vader still immediately felt anger at the very mention of that name. Kenobi is the name of his former master and friend. One whom Vader once called a brother and the same one who betrayed him and left him for dead on Mustafar all those years ago. It was because of Kenobi that Vader was turned into a half man, half machine monstrosity; forced to live in a suit to survive. Vader knew that Kenobi had survived and went into hiding. But in the fifteen years since that day there has never been a sign. The thought that Ahsoka might be able to lead him to Kenobi filled him with delight and rage. He longed for the day when he finally found Kenobi and cut him down and show him that he was now the master.

"Perhaps...if he lives...be patient my old friend; for now dispatch another Inquisitor to hunt them down."

"As you wish; my Master."

There you go; I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Again I tried to keep all the characters in character but I found that unlike the last chapter there wasn't much difficulty this time around. Now to why I updated; okay so last chapter and the chapter before that I said I would not update this chapter until the next chapter of MOAP came out because I have that as my main priority; well that's still true it is but the next chapter will be out soon. It's almost done I just have a few paragraphs to finish writing if I don't have it finished tomorrow before I have to leave for something then I'll be able to have it finished on Thursday and have it posted Thursday night or Friday afternoon. The reason I posted this is because I already had it done and I know the next chapter of MOAP will be out in a day or two so I didn't see any harm of updating this one. Now to address the Danny sleeping issue; I've got a few either way; however I think what I'm actually going to do is bunk him with Ezra and Zeb; the reason I didn't think of it at first is because I figured it was already crowded enough in that room; however that dose lead me to write some humorous possibilities. plus that leaves Sabine's bunk free just in case I want to bring a certain teen girl from Danny's world into the mix; haven't decided on that either. In fact I need your help again; this story will include other characters from Danny's world but I haven't decided on which ones and when they do appear I don't want it to be so soon. So please in your reviews continue sharing ideas of what you might like to see and who from Danny's universe that you'd like to see interact with the Star Wars characters. Now as for the direction of the story; for the next chapter it will follow the Rebels show because I like Captain Rex and I want to include him; but after that the story might divert a little when the other DP characters get involved; I also might have a segment or a whole other chapter showing what's going on in Amity Park during Danny's absence; whenever that happens. Plus the mid-season trailer for Rebels has given me a few ideas of things I might want to include; one thing I was thinking about was giving Danny a lightsaber; what do you think of the idea of him taking the one Ezra has at the end of the mid-season trailer...if you've seen it you know what I'm talking about anyways just a thought. Also it was pointed out to me that I forgot to reveal when exactly this story takes place. For Danny it's near the end of his run; all the episodes took place except for Phantom Planet; so Danielle has the possibility to appear and Rebels is obviously the beginning of season 2. So if there's nothing else for me to say...onto reviews.

gilly boy: Don't worry there will be lots of interaction later and thanks for reminding me of that seen it would be a sin for me not to use that later.

Master BRAVO: I'm not entirely sure on the SabinexDanny, I mean that would be cool but there's still Danny and his crush or love for Sam; but don't worry there will be a lot of moments with Danny and Sabine; two reasons why. The first is they are basically the same age; they are teenagers and they can easily relate and get along with one another; the second is because Sabine in my opinion is just the best character on the show; the show really should be about her so I will try to include her whenever I can if you haven't noticed that already. and about that nightmare scene; I might include something like that.

Dr. ForgottenFabels: Yes I know but that chapter's out of the way now; also thanks for the heads up on Dragon Age and thank you for listening to me and updating your own Danny Phantom/Star Wars crossover; though I sense you had that planned long before I asked; I just found it funny you updated the very next day after I asked.

Pulsar747: Clockwork is...well...complicated you know Danny even stated that if he wasn't meant to be there ever or period Clockwork would have come for him.

Rich: I didn't think that at first because I was looking by beds; but now that I think about it that possibility of Zeb and Ezra sharing with Danny; when they can barely share with each other can lead to some...interesting moments

Mandalore the freedom: I don't know If your one of those die hard Mandalore fans or not; but I will try to keep Sabine in the Mandaloran ways because you can see in the show she takes pride in being a Mandalorian warrior and from trailers it looks like we will get future episodes with her interacting with other Mando's but as for relations for now I'm planning on Danny and Sabine getting along really well; nothing other then that at the moment.

Scorpious02: Yes; but that chapter had to happen; at least it's out of the way now. and no I have not forgotten about Sam or Ezra; in fact I plan on a few interesting situations when Ezra sees Danny and Sabine getting along. But I don't plan on shipping Danny and Sabine at the moment because again Sam is out there and it would be out of character for Danny to just forget her. I also have a few situations planned for Danny sharing with Zeb and Ezra and yes if you're offering I would like to discuss ideas either in reviews or PM's

Well that's it for now; again please let me know what you'd be interested in seeing; next chapter is recruiting Rex but that probably won't be out for a while. Anyways if you haven't already please favorite and follow this story and please everybody review; let me know what you think; until next time...
