Understanding

by mckee11223

When Hera is captured by the Empire, the crew of the Ghost must rescue her, but it isn't as easy as it sounds. A major blast to the past, what will the crew find out about Kanan Jarrus? And what will he find out about himself? Has major spoilers for A New Dawn, but you will not understand if you haven't read the book.

10. Chapter 10

"Well, well," Kallus chuckled, backing Sabine into a corner. She shot at him uselessly with her blasters, the shots ricocheting wildly off his armor. Her eyes were wide and afraid, her hair singed at the tips. Kallus's stolen bo-rifle glinted evily. "Seems like I've got myself a hostage."

And that's when all hell broke loose.

A huge airship crashed through the roof, rained debris down. Kallus looked up, and Sabine saw her chance. She swept her leg under his and commandeered the bo-rifle, pointing it at his throat as she leapt upwards.

"Sabine!" Ezra waved from the ship's opening hatch. The Moonglow insignia showed bright and strong against the dusty hull, and further up, in the driver's seat, a very familiar Jedi was piloting the ship. He saluted at her as she jumped up on board, smirking at Kallus.

And they were gone.

Kallus jumped up and dusted himself off. In a rage, he looked for his rifle to throw, only to realize the wretched girl had taken it.

I'll get you, Sabine Wren. Count on it.

It made for a very happy reunion at the bar. Kanan, upon seeing Hera, had rushed forward, flight cap aside, and hugged her tightly. Sabine snickered, then regained her composure, and gave a polite handshake to Ezra. Zeb just stood there awkwardly, unsure of where to go, until Sabine had presented him with the bo-rifle, and now he was just trying it out in some sort of intricate ancient Losat ritual.

Zaluna smiled. As if she'd been given the gift of prophecy, she had already foreseen this moment. It was inevitable, to say the very least. This was a more than capable team, and all they needed…

… Was a Spark.

Wow. The one year anniversary of this fanfic just passed, and so this must be my first ever. I want to thank all of my reviewers, followers, and those who even just read my story, even if it was just because there was nothing else to read in this archive.

This is what jumpstarted my entire writing experience, and I can honestly say I've moved far beyond what happened here, but this will always be my favourite, because no one ever forgets their first time.

Special thanks to guest reviewer Stormcutter684, who was with me for all my Star Wars Rebels fanfics, and to all those guys that faved and followed me. I'll miss all of you. I already have.
