Ezra cut a hole in the wall with his lightsaber and everyone crawled through. They all aimed into the cells. But before they ran through few corridors, the stormtroopers started waking up.

"Now, Ezra and I will go together to get the Jedi. You" Reddie turned to face Hera, Sabine and Zeb. "You go in the other direction and distract them. The stormtroopers will follow you when they wake up and we will have a clear path."

They split up. Reddie followed Ezra to the cells. Exactly as he said, they didn't run into anyone on their way. When they reached the prison, Ezra stopped for a moment to find with the Force which cell was the right one. Soon he chose and opened the door.

Kanan was tied to a table with his head lowered. He didn't react at all until Ezra called his name.

Kanan looked at him: "You shouldn't have come, but I am glad you did." he whispered.

Ezra saddened at the sight and grew angry as he imagined what the Empire could have done to him. Reddie on the other hand seemed completely composed as he walked to Kanan and untied him.

The Jedi fell forward, but Reddie caught him and supported him.

"Reddie." Kanan acknowledged him with a small smile. Then he lost conscious.

"Kanan?" Ezra was immediately at his side.

"We need to get out as quickly as possible." Reddie said and tossed Kanan over his shoulder to carry him.

"Ok."

Reddie's comlink beeped when they left the cell.

"Stormtroopers found our ship, don't go back there!" Hera warned them.

"Where are you now?" Reddie asked.

"We are on our way to docks. We will try to steal one of their ships."

"We will do the same. Don't wait for us." Reddie said.

"No way. We can't leave without you."

"It could help. It would create a diversion, if you fly back to Ghost and attack them or something. Maybe they would think no one else remained on the cruiser and we could sneak out." Reddie explained.

"Ok. You made your point. Did you find Kanan already?" Hera agreed finally.

"Yes, we've got him. He is unconscious at the moment, but he's fine." Ezra joined the conversation.

"Good. Call us when you're out."

Reddie and Ezra ran through the corridors. Once they came across few stormtroopers, but Ezra reflected their shots with his lightsaber and Reddie took out a blaster and shot them.

"And I actually wondered if you had any weapons at all," Ezra teased him.

Few minutes later they finally reached the docks.

"I hope there won't be many stormtroopers in there." Ezra said and opened the door and froze with shock.

The whole place was full of soldiers pointing their blasters at them. In the middle the Inquisitor stood with a victorious smile.

"Surrender. You have no chance." He said and ignited his lightsaber for effect. Ezra looked at Reddie, who seemed to be calm.

He lowered Kanan on the floor carefully and told Ezra: "Stay with him, I will take care of this."

Then he took few steps toward the Inquisitor.

"Actually. It's you who has no chance. Let us go and you will stay alive." Reddie suggested.

Their enemies laughed.

"And who are you actually?" Inquisitor pointed the lightsaber at him.

"Someone you don't want to make angry." Reddie warned him.

Ezra glanced over the area. They were greatly outnumbered and there was no chance they would win this fight. And even if we run, we can't get off the ship, Ezra thought.

"I think I will take the risk." Inquisitor laughed.

"Very well." Reddie said darkly. Then he took out his weapon and ignited it.

A lightsaber? Ezra was shocked.

The Inquisitor seemed to be surprised too when he saw the black laser blade. Ezra noticed it wasn't a typical lightsaber as its blade was flat and the black colour wasn't typical as well. Reddie drew his lightsaber against the Inquisitor, who managed to shake off the shock. Both men slowly approached each other and sized each other up. Then Reddie attacked.

Inquisitor blocked the first blow but Reddie swung his weapon fiercely and Inquisitor could merely defend himself. Ezra watched the fight with interest, but never left Kanan's side.

Inquisitor realised that his opponent was a very good swordsman and pushed him back with the Force so he could change his tactic. Reddie obviously wasn't expecting this and he fell on his back.

His hood was taken off in process.

Reddie quickly jumped to his feet and raised his hand to pull it back on, but the damage was already done, so he lowered his hand back. Ezra was shocked with his appearance. The Inquisitor as well.

Reddie looked the Inquisitor in the eye.

"You shouldn't have done this." He growled and raised his lightsaber.

"It can't be…" Inquisitor whispered. Was it fear in his voice?

He looked around and commanded: "Shoot him!"

Before the stormtroopers could react, Reddie stretched his free hand and threw all the soldiers through the whole area with the Force.

Ezra gasped. He can use the Force!

Now Inquisitor looked nervously at discarded soldiers having second thoughts about fighting his opponent. He wasn't given much time to decide whether to run or not, because Reddie attacked him again. Even though Inquisitor used both blades of his lightsaber he couldn't find an opening he could use for attacking as Reddie moved his blade so quickly and effectively.

At one point, Inquisitor didn't manage to shield himself and Reddie cut him in his leg. Inquisitor fell to his knees and even though he raised his lightsaber in defence, it was too late to deflect Reddie's lightsaber which found its way into Inquisitor's chest.

The Pau'an dropped his lightsaber and his body felt on the floor lifelessly.


Reddie returned to Ezra and Kanan.

"You look scary." Ezra remarked.

"Well, it helped, didn't it?" Reddie answered annoyed that his identity was revealed.

"Why didn't you tell us you are a Jedi?" Ezra asked.

"Because I am not!" Reddie yelled at him.

"But your lightsaber…" Ezra started arguing.

"Stop asking me." Reddie growled and put on his hood, which hid his face completely. "And it's not a lightsaber, it's a darksaber."

Reddie knelt next to Kanan to lift him and carried him to a ship. Ezra followed, full of questions. They left the cruiser and Reddie called Hera so they could arrange the meeting point.

Before they reached Ghost, Kanan woke up. He was a bit disoriented at first, but he soon realised what happened and where he was. He soon noticed the tension between his padawan and Reddie.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Well…" Ezra started, but was interrupted by Reddie.

"Nothing happened."

Kanan eyed them suspiciously.

"We ran into the Inquisitor." Ezra said eventually. "And you should have seen his face," Ezra laughed, "The great and scary Inquisitor was scared of Reddie. If we weren't surrounded by those bucketheads and you were alright, I would have enjoyed it."

"You met the Inquisitor? How did you escaped?" Kanan asked.

"I killed him." Reddie said. "I told you he wouldn't cause any trouble." He turned to Ezra.

Kanan wanted to find out more, but Reddie attached their ship to Ghost and they left it. Both Reddie and Ezra supported Kanan as they walked to the hall in Ghost. Hera and Sabine ran to them with joy. Hera carefully hugged Kanan.

"We missed you."

Sabine hugged Reddie. "Thank you so much for help."

Reddie was glad at that moment that no one could see his face, as he was completely shocked. Then he smiled and returned the hug briefly.

"I helped too." Ezra said silently.

"Of course you did, kid." Zeb clapped him on the back.

"Not funny." Ezra remarked.

But their moment of peace and happiness ended rather quickly, because Imperials sent some TIEs after them. They helped Kanan to sit down at the table. Hera then ran to the cockpit to jump the ship to the hyperspace.

Sabine called at Reddie: "Let's go shoot them!" They both ran away to inbuilt weapons in the ship.

Ezra stayed with Kanan. "Do you know what a darksaber is?" Ezra asked.

"It used to be a Jedi weapon, but some warrior clans stole it. Why do you ask?"

"Reddie has it. He killed the Inquisitor with it."

"Where did he find it?" Kanan asked more for himself.

"Who is he?" Ezra asked.

"We don't know, Ezra. He is very secretive about himself."

"Who else other than Jedis can use the Force?" Ezra asked again.

"Siths. And some other creatures depending on their midi-chlorian level. Why?"

"Reddie used the Force to push away all the stormtroopers in the docks. And he told me he wasn't a Jedi." Ezra explained.

"What?" Kanan was shocked and decided he would find out who Reddie is.

Hera joined them: "I set our coordinates away from Lothal. I think we should avoid that planet for a while. How are you feeling?" She asked Kanan.

"I am fine." Kanan smiled at her.

And I kind of hate myself too… I JUST KILLED MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER! What is wrong with me?
