CHAPTER FOUR

(SABINE POV )

More blasts fired forward from the bucket-heads on the move. Next time I blow up their speeders first.

I looked ahead to the mystery girl easily evading the shots. She's not even looking back! I stare at her for a few seconds longer before I snap back into the reality where I'm being fired at. There's something about her, I just- dammit I don't know. But I know her, I know I do. But how, I don't know.

"Switch sides!" the girl hollered back as she drove her speeder over to the other side of the highway. With not much room for debate we all followed her only for a small imperial transport to show up behind us. I watched as the girl whammed her first on her spedor. Irritation flashed through her movements before she stilled. I scrunched up my eyes in confusion, why would she-

"See you guys later!" what did that- OH MY GOD!

My eyes widened in shock and disbelief, a gasp erupted behind me as stumbled words fell into air as well. She- she flipped off the speeder! Is she crazy?!

(EZRA POV )

I laughed inwardly as I flipped off my speeder; the guys' faces were priceless!

Meanwhile more blasts resonated as I flew through the air and onto the transport. They are either about to get a rude awaking or naptime. Avoiding the possibility of being blasted off from the guns on this thing, I hooked both my legs onto the railing on the side before swinging down and hacking the door to open.

"What the?!" I gave them a lazy grin back, my blue hair blowing chaotically around my face.

"Hey, how's it going?" I smirked and aimed as I fired at them, all three hit the deck, I sighed as I swung forward into the moving craft. That'll hurt when they get up.

I slid into the driver's seat before grabbing control of the wheel and speeding forward. I smirked again as I waved mockingly to Zeb as I came into his view through the screen. Now his face was amazing. I nudged the vehicle forward before he almost fell off, I almost lost it laughing when the other two then promptly turned around and wore expressions and shock and awe. Haha, I win. Alright back to business.

"Get in!" I screamed at them, hoping they heard me. I sighed in relief as I watched all three of them slow down. Thankfully they all jumped and got in safely. I held up the hard-drive disk with the information needed for the next part, small cheers were heard from Sabine as Zeb sighed in relief and dropped into a chair. Kanan remained silent which put me off, but I needed to focus.

"Spector 1, where are you?"

"We're here Hera, rendezvous at base" okay I have no clue where that is. I turned around slightly.

"Mind filling me in there Captain? If you don't mind, I'd like to know where that is, remember I'm the one driving"

"Here, I'll take over. You've done enough" and I'll take that as a compliment. I shrugged before sliding out the seat for Kanan to take over, the vehicle wobbling slightly as my grip left the wheel. I walked to the back the 'room' to rest. I didn't get the chance. Two gloved hands gripped my shoulders.

"I know you, I swear I do. Don't tell me I don't" I smiled. Of course you know me Sabine. I just can't tell you now; my smile vanished as I returned her answer.

"Maybe, maybe not. Unfortunately this isn't the best place to discuss such matters" she'll thank me for being this formal and polite later on when I'm not later on. She sighed irritably, knowing I held a point. Without answering she pushed off my shoulders and stalked away.

I looked around the three and smiled sadly.

You have no idea how much I wish I could tell you. I miss you.

"Hera, you've met-, her before" I gave a lopsided grin as Kanan paused when he came to saying a name. He's right you have met me before.

"Nice to meet you Hera" I'm laughing on the inside. Someone's gonna hit me when they find out.

"Nice to meet you too" she pushed her hand out to take my extended one. She hasn't changed a bit.

"Anyway-" I pull away from her.

"-Now the next part of the plan, getting the finale piece of information to then complete to op" I gave Sabine the hard-drive disk as the crew walked inside the ghost. I watched as they vanished from sight before slumping down against a stray boulder, the ship mocked my very being there, I turned away as tears threatened to break over. I looked up to the darkening sky; I'm not one of them. Not anymore.

I don't recall a time like this where I didn't bug someone, weird. I guess when you grow up things change, especially when you grow up without them. It could have been 5 hours or a whole day and I'm not sure if I would have noticed.

Footsteps thudded against the ramp, I glanced back my sitting position. When they walked back out they all bore the same expressions as before but something was different, like they knew something I didn't. Maybe it was because I didn't follow them in? Nah.

I shrugged it off before climbing up and stalking forward. Of course I knew the next part of the plan, I checked to see if the hard-drive disk actually had the information so inevitably I knew what was next, costume time. I growled.

"Um, hey you ready?" a hesitant voice speaks up from behind me, Sabine, actually more like confused and curious. I let out a sigh looking up with a smile, well not that she could see anyway but the thought counted, I hope.

"Yeah, where are we off to now?" I played along with the fact I didn't know just for the hell of it. I tilted my head as we made our way back up the ramp and inside the ship.

"Imperial academy" I nodded before I felt the ramp close behind as my breath hitched. It's okay, I'm okay. Nothing is going to happen.

"Hey you okay?" I gasped as I felt Sabine's hand land on my shoulder. I stepped away as I readjusted my hood.

"I'm fine" my voice went cold as I backed away. She frowned before doing the same and making her way across the room.

"Come on, I'm assuming there's a briefing I need catch" she nodded, a worried frown etching further onto her features.

"This way" we climbed up the ladder towards the cockpit.

"Finally you're here" and there's Kanan. I shrugged as I dropped into a vacant seat in the cockpit.

"Yeah, what of it?" if I wasn't irritating then I wasn't challenging, and if I wasn't challenging them then what higher level did I have?

"Ugh, anyway –"and he dismisses it, I raised a curious expression, unaware to them. Since when does he do that?

"-got it?" I glanced up to see the explanation finished. I nodded as I felt us land. I didn't hear a single word he said and I didn't need to. Like I said, I viewed the op before.

"Wait, whose gonna be the walk-in bucket-head?" I raised an eyebrow at Sabine's question before I shook the thought away. They don't know who you are.

"I'm not"

"I will" Sabine and I threw our answers out amusingly at the same time. No one had a clue who said what. I rolled my eyes in humour.

"I will" everyone's eyes switched to me; at least if I flinched then they didn't notice.

"You?" my eyes narrowed at Zeb's accusing query. I took a deep breath before continuing. Remember they don't know.

"Yes, me. Got a problem?" a voice propped up from the side before either one of us answered. Well, more like a series of beeps, Chopper.

"Good question, I won't tell you how I can, yet. But I know I can, besides I've been inside one of these bucket-heads arenas before" I heard a laugh slip out of Sabine's mouth before she caught it.

"We don't even know who she is, how can we trust her?" I glared at Zeb. You are gonna look like an idiot later when you see who I really am. I turned to Kanan, my electric blue eyes glowing.

"Please, trust me on this Kanan" his eyes widened as my showed through. He looked away for a few moments before-

"Alright, you know what to do?" I smiled as I nodded. He nodded back, a small trace of smile appearing.

"Then get to it" he waved his arms as I took off, starting the next part.

Thank you, Kanan.

Author's note! - orignal

IT'S A UPDATE! Thank you guys for being patient with me for this. Now onto the writing of the next chapter. Anyway, enjoy this chapter, and maybe check out my bio, if you want to find out a bit about me or what I can offer so far. I'm not telling you to though, this mainly a suggestion. Okay then, so I'm not actually sure anymore where I'm going with this but I'm not quitting. Besides I'm not too sure if I'm doing the ship or not. I mean it's not one of the most accepted ones out there. I mean if this actually happened in the series with the shipping truth be honest I have no idea how I would react, I guess that's why we write these sometimes but then again I don't know, but if the ship does happen no hate PLEASE! Ezra and Kanan would obviously have their own reservations about it (that would happen for sure if anything were to happen between these two) so just to permanently clarify, Kanan is about 25 ½ (can't make Kanan any younger, can only go so far) and Ezra is 19. While some may think this a big age difference if the ship were to happen, believe me I have come across way bigger age differences before. Okay so before I go, just to finally clarify, I'm not sure where I'm going with this fanfic, I am NOT quitting, and I have no idea if I will or won't do the ship. If I do and you don't like it then you guys are welcomed to leave but leave me in peace with no hate please – that's all I ask. Bye! Xx
