I do not own Star Wars Rebels! That is owned by Disney XD! I only own my OC character, Kairi Hando! Please review and favorite for more chapters! -Thanks! :)
The Ghost crew had arrived at Spire on Stygeon Prime, Ezra watched as Kanan and Kairi took out the storm troopers guarding the platform they had landed on. It was a piece of cake really, Erza had that thought. They were trained by actual jedi before the Empire took over.
"Nice and quiet like-." Ezra started but slipped.
The adults turned seeing Ezra fall out of the sky and hit his head off the floor. Kairi formed a small childish smile as Kanan just frowned, he watched her knelt down to check on him with a cheerful smile across her face.
"You better work on that landing, twinkle toes." Kairi teased.
Ezra made a face and mouth the words, "Sorry." directly to Kanan. Though the three awaited to see if the door would open, but it didn't.
Kanan turned to Erza, "What just happened? You were suppose to exit with Zeb! You're lucky every Storm Trooper in the prison doesn't know we're here!" Kanan shouted.
Just as Kanan shouted that, the door suddenly opened. Out came several storm troopers, and began to fire. Quickly Kanan and Kairi used the force to throw their blasters off the edge. Kairi turned to her friend with a slight annoyed expression.
"You had to jink us, Kanan!" Kairi shouted.
Sabine and Zeb jumped down, and Sabine took out a trooper. Kanan and Kairi used the force to throw some troopers off the edge until lastly Zeb grabbed the last one and tossed him off the edge. Though even after that Kanan remembered why he was earlier.
"Stunts like that put us all in jeopardy," Kanan started, "That's exactly why you need Master Luminara to teach you discipline."
"Caleb," Kairi was about to say something but heard Ezra speak up.
"But I was just following your examples, Kanan." Ezra pleaded.
"Yeah? Well, try to stay focused and follow the plan instead." Kanan said.
Sabine awkwardly raised her hand, "I hate to interrupter this but we need the kid to unlock the door." She says.
Ezra nods, "I got it." He walked over to the door.
Once they quickly entered the door shut behind them, with a loud thumb. Everyone's eyes shifted to Ezra, who just shook his head. Kairi and Kanan ignored Ezra, mostly Kanan, because the two sensed something familiar. They turned to each other and without speaking knew what they were thinking.
"Luminara's here. I sense her presence." Kanan said.
Kairi nods, "Yes. I can sense her presence too, but it's clouded." Kairi said rubbing the bridge of her nose.
Sabine walked pass them and they followed, "Where is Master Unduli?" Kanan asked.
Sabine looked at them, "Detention Block CC01. Isolation cell 0169." Sabine answered.
Kairi's eyes widened, "Whoa wait? They have isolation cells on below levels? Our plan was off outdated schematics!" Kairi said stunningly.
Ezra glanced at her, "Wait what does that mean?"
"It means the plan has changed." Kanan answered.
Zeb glanced at the jedi, "You got a back-up plan?"
"Figuring one out right now. Zeb and Sabine, you're coming along." Kanan said and led them to the lift.
"What, we're supposed to hold our escape route here?" Zeb asked.
Kairi got along with the plan, "Now the turbo lift is our only escape route. Now am I right, Kanan?" Kairi asked.
Kanan nodded, "Yes. Now let's go." Kanan said.
-REBELS-
"Maintain comm silence and whatever you do, hold this lift." Kanan told them and the door shut on Sabine and Zeb.
Kairi held her hands on her hips, "Think this will work?"
Kanan formed a grin, "Come on you've probably been through worst. This can't be that bad." Kanan said.
Kairi raised her eyebrow, "Hm more like the most stupid plan I've been apart of."
Kanan made a face, "Do you think we have a choice?"
Ezra made a face, "You two argue like a married couple."
-REBELS-
The three walked down the halls and then reached the hallway where Laminara's cell was, Kanan and Kairi peaked their heads out. Stopping them was two troopers, Ezra glanced at Kanan who seemed to have had gotten a new plan. Kanan nudged Kairi and Ezra to follow him.
"Shouldn't you be guarding the Jedi cell? It's on the next level." Kanan said using the good old jedi mind trick on them.
"It's on the next level." One said.
"You better get moving." Kanan said.
"We better get moving." The trooper said sorta like he was in a trance.
The troopers walked onward and turned the corner, Kanan saw how excited that made Ezra. Kairi rolled her eyes with a soft smile on her face.
"When can I learn to do that?" He asked.
"Luminara will teach you. Much better than I could ever do." Kanan said.
Kairi opened the cell, and glanced at Kanan. He entered first, then Ezra, and lastly Kairi followed behind. The three found Luminara in her cell.
"Is it really her?" Ezra asked.
"Yes, but something's wrong." Kanan said.
"Very wrong," Kairi mumbled.
"Master," Kanan said softly.
Laminara stared at them silently before she turned and walked into a container on the wall and became bones. Kanan and Ezra gasped at the same time while Kairi slightly stumbled backwards in shock.
"What- what happened? I don't understand." Ezra asked.
"No, it doesn't seem complicated." A dark voice said.
Kairi recognized the voice and quickly ignited her sabers in her hands, "You!"
He chuckles, "I am the Inquisitor." He said and pulled out his red saber.
He stepped closer and the door closed behind him. Kairi had a glare on her face, Kanan glanced at Kairi and sees that she has met him prior Kanan and Kairi's encounter. The Inquistor had an evil smile on his face and took a step forward.
"Welcome," He says.
Now Kanan ignites his saber and Ezra felt both Jedi pull him back in order to protect him.
"Yes, I'm afraid Master Luminara died within the Republic. Yet her bones continue to serve the Empire, luring the last Jedi to their ends." He says.
"Spectre 3, come in! It's a trap!" Ezra shouted.
Inquisitor laughed, "There will be no reinforcements. You're trapped."
Kairi glares, "Like hell we are!" Kairi charges in.
The Inquisitor chuckles, "Kenobi's student. How far have you fallen." The Inquisitor said.
Kairi was thrown back by the the sith, this drawn Kanan's attention and he quickly charged at the sith lord. Kanan's blade connected with the Inquisitor's red blade.
"Interesting, it seems you were trained with Jedi Master Depa Bilaba." The Inquisitor said.
Kanan was shocked by this, "How- Who are you!?" Kanan demanded.
Kairi rose up and at the same time the two charged at the sith, the Inquisitor grabbed both Kairi's arm and held Kanan back with the force. Kairi glared directly at the evil man before her, he formed a sly smile and chuckled again. The sound of the laughter made Ezra feel uneasy.
"The Temple Records are quite complete." He says.
Kanan charged in with all force in his body but with a flick of the wrist, Kanan's body went flying to the wall. Ezra shouted at his master and ran to his aid, Kairi heard the Inquisitor chuckle again and then turned his attention to her.
"Now, now. What to do with you? I am certain Lord Vader would love to see you again." The Inquisitor said.
Kairi glared, "Really well I'd not want to see that rusted machine."
Kanan stood up and sees the Inquisitor tighten his grip on her arm, Kairi screamed in the pain. Kanan used his force to pull the Inquisitor apart from Kairi, he threw the sith to the wall. Kanan ran over to Kairi, he saw she was getting up and seemed to be alright as she ignited her sabers again.
Now the Inquisitor was talking directly to Kanan, "Close quarter fighting. Bilaba's emphasis was always on Form 3, which you favor to a ridiculous degree." He says.
Kanan gets up and charges at the sith again, they were fighting near Luminara's bones. Ezra took a few shots at the sith who easily blocked it, though it gave Kanan an opening for an attack. Though the Inquisitor jumped and kicked the Jedi. Ezra and Kairi ran to Kanan, as Ezra knelt down he sees Kairi stand boldly in front of Kanan and Ezra.
"Clearly you were a poor student," The Inquisitor teased.
Ezra got angry by the way he was treating his master and began to fire at the Inquisitor, which did no damage what so ever. These actions made the sith chuckle, no more than that actually laugh.
"Is that all you got boy?" Inquisitor asked.
"Well, I've got that." Ezra said.
He had a detonator at the door, which he had set up. The detonator exploded within a few seconds and the three quickly took this split second to flee from the sith.
-REBELS-
After a while, the three were trapped. Cornered in. The Jedi were forced to fight. The Inquisitor held his red saber as another one popped out.
Kairi had a bored expression, "It's not impressive the second time seeing it."
The Inquisitor chuckled, "Should be because its going to be your last."
At that mark the two Jedi ignited their sabers and ran in to fight. They fought until the sith had blocked all three blades, to him it was like child's play.
"Are you paying attention, boy? The Jedi are dead. Yet there is another path. The Dark Side." The Inquisitor said.
Ezra looked at the Jedi and their expression, Kanan looked at Ezra and shook his head. Kairi had a death glare at the Inquisitor as she tries to push with all her might to at least injury him with her blade.
"Never heard of it!" Ezra stated.
He fired more shots at the sith. The Inquisitor pushed the Jedi out of the way, and blocked Ezra's shots he threw Ezra with force.
"Have you taught him nothing?" The Inquisitor asked.
Kairi struggled to get up, in her eyes there was doubt and worry. Kanan pulled himself partly up but looked worried about the situation at hand. Kairi felt Kanan touch her arm, he nodded and without really speaking she knew what he meant. Kairi ignited her blue saber and sprinted over.
The Inquisitor went to strike down Ezra but Kairi slid in and blocked his saber with her blue one, Ezra moaned and looked up seeing Kairi's back to him and the bright blue and red in his vision. The Inquisitor grinned an evil grin as he pushed harder, Kairi screamed as she pushed back.
"I'll say Kenobi must be rolling around in his grave wishing he'd never had wasted his time on a worthless human being." The Inquisitor said.
Kairi sliced at him and actually caused a small cut on his face, "Shut up!"
This angered the sith more, he used the force and threw Kairi back further than before.
"Kai!" Kanan shouted.
"Do you really think you can save the boy? For his sake and your own, you might as well surrender." He said.
"I am not making deals with you!" Kanan shouted standing up.
"Hm, then we'll let him decide on it, shall we?" He says and throws Kanan back just as far as Kairi.
Ezra stood and turned to see both Jedi laying on the floor, he wasn't sure if they were passed out or not.
"Your master cannot save you boy," The Sith said, "He is unfocused and undisciplined just as much as his partner."
"Well then we're perfect together!" Ezra shouted and fired more.
"I do so admire your persistence, ready to die?" He asks and goes to end Ezra.
That was when Kanan awaken and sees the Inquisitor about to destroy his student, he used a power within to push the Inquisitor back with the force Kanan possessed. The Sith looked up at Kanan and then all of a sudden was thrown back much farther away from Ezra.
"Run!" Kanan shouted.
Ezra ran toward his master and knelt down at Kairi, "Hey. Kairi, wake up."
Kairi moaned and rubbed her head, "What happened twinkle toes?"
"Get out of here!" Kanan shouted as he stood.
Kairi and Ezra stood up only to see the Inquisitor ignite his saber and now it came out as a spinning double blade.
"Um- can your's do that?" Ezra asked.
Kairi motioned the guys to move, "Come on! Let's get out of here!"
Upon running down the hallway, the three caught up with Sabine and Zeb.
"Guys this way!" Sabine shouted.
"Figured out it was a trap?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah. Luminara?" Sabine asked.
Kanan sighs, "Long gone. Our next exit?"
"Landing platform." Sabine answered as they ran.
"Let's hope we make it there before we get fried." Kairi said.
Behind them the Inquisitor showed up, "Secure the facility. Full lock down."
"Well, that's no helpful." Ezra commented.
The doors became to shut. Which forced the group to run faster in order to get through the doors. Sabine fired at the sith yet he only blocked it and it didn't effect him in any way. The last door was closing so fast that Zeb jumped on and held it open. One by one, each of them jumped through the hole until Zeb sees the Inquisitor come close only for the door to shut in the sith's face. The group ran down until they reached the entrance to the platform. When they stopped Zeb turned around and shot at the controls for the last door. The group ran faster to the control for the door to the landing platform.
"I've got it, I- Ugh I'm locked out of this system!" Sabine said.
Ezra ran over and tried to electrocuted the door but it failed.
"Ezra!" Kanan shouted.
"Sorry," Ezra said.
Kanan thought about it, "Okay all three of us will lift it together."
"Seriously?" Ezra asked.
Kairi grins, "This is too easy." She says.
"Are you-?"
Kairi turns to him, "Believe in yourself."
Kanan nods, "Yes Ezra. I know you can do this."
Ezra nods, "Okay."
So at the same time the three Jedi focus deeply and the door began to open at a slow pace, though once it was opened the group was stunned to see troopers waiting for them outside.
"Oh come on!" Kairi shouted.
"One last miracle here," Zeb said and tossed the detonator.
They all ran and as they did Sabine contacted Hera on the ship, upon getting outside the ship aka the Phantom appeared ready to take the team out. As they were beginning to be saved, the Inquisitor appeared again but it was too late. Zeb, Sabine, Ezra, Kairi, and Kanan had jumped into the ship. The ship began to fly away only to see troopers fire at them and the Inquisitor standing there with his double spinning blade.
Zeb leaned to the two adult jedi, "Can your's do that?"
Kairi smacked Zeb on his chest, "Shut up."
-REBELS-
While in space Hera looks at Kanan, "So where's Master Luminara?"
Kanan's head sunk low so Kairi answered, "Gone."
Kanan lifts his head up, "We'll have to find a way to spread the word so no one else falls like she did." He says.
"How's Ezra taking it?" Hera's motherly concern took over.
Kairi glanced at him, Ezra was frowning and seemed upset by this. Kairi looks away and then to the two others she stood with. Kanan shakes his head and then looks back up to Hera as she pilot the ship.
"Not as bad as we are- but I guess he's stuck with me. For now." Kanan said.
-REBELS-
The team returned to Ghost, Ezra spotted Kairi sitting on the floor in the hallway. Her head was staring upward at the ceiling, which caught Ezra off guard.
"Kairi, you okay?" Ezra asked.
Kairi shifts her eyes at him, "Fine."
Ezra walks over and sits next to her, "You were- so different."
Kairi raised her eyebrow, "Pardon?"
"On that mission, you weren't yourself." Ezra said.
Kairi nods, "Oh- right."
"Why is that?" Ezra asked.
"Because I was trained strictly to be focused and quite serious on missions. Sometimes I find it hard to return to "myself" when I go through such missions." Kairi said.
There was some silence until Ezra heard a faint laughter coming from Kairi.
"Guess its the toll to pay from being involved in the Clone Wars." She says.
Ezra lightly chuckled but Kairi sensed something wrong.
"You okay?" She asked.
"Kanan is stuck with me. I'm just a burden." He says.
"No you're not. Go talk to him." Kairi said.
-REBELS-
Ezra and Kanan sat on the ship's ramp the next day, Ezra took Kairi's advice and to talk to Kanan about it.
"Look, don't bother saying it. I'm letting you off the hook." Ezra said.
Kanan seemed puzzled, "What are you talking about?"
"I know you wanted to leave me with Luminara. Just cause she's gone doesn't mean you're stuck with me." Ezra said.
"I didn't want to leave you with her. Look, I just wanted you to have the best teacher possible." Kanan said.
Ezra turned his head at Kanan, "Well I don't want the best. I just want you. N- Not that you're not the best-."
"Ezra," Kanan cut him off, "I'm not gonna try to train you. If all I do is try, that means I don't truly believe I can succeed. So from now on, I will teach you. I may fail, you may fail, but there is no try." Kanan said.
Ezra smiles, "I understand master." Ezra said.
Standing up at the top of the ramp was Kairi, she smiles and shakes her head. That was until she heard a beeping coming from her, she quickly pulled out her comm to see an alarm it was more than just any alarm. Unknown to Kairi that Kanan and Ezra was right behind her.
"They're- under attack." Kairi mumbles.
*Added another chapter to be nice and mostly because I thought I kinda owed you that. No new chapter until after February 1st, because I am going out of town and won't have my laptop.*
