A/N Lies are rebuked, Truths come to light, and Dev is stressed.

So without further ado, Let the chaos ensue

When Dev said that they were going to be making connections, this is far from what Caleb had in mind.

All seemed to go fine with the disconnection from the Ghost, and when they land on the mentioned meteor, the young teen can finally understand Sabine's apprehension. the creatures that approach them from the darkness, could easily swallow him whole. Their eyes shine a luminescent yellow that would be comforting were there not a slited pupil set within a glare. There seems to be plates lining their backs that flare up so they appear bigger.

Dev instructs him to try to connect with them, allow the creatures into their heads in return for going into theirs. Caleb does as instructed, and yet the creatures continue advancing on them. "Dev, why isn't this working?" The young teen shouts out and the one he thought he knew.

"It's me, I can't let go." Dev says simply as he backs himself into a corner and continues to try and connect with the creatures.

"You need to master, or we both die.!" Caleb shouts out, drawing attention to himself, and the change is immediate, Dev's eyes widen in fear, no in terror, and he seems lost in memories for a second. When the grown man's eyes finally clear, their filled with a resolve that shows his want to protect. "I won't let the empire or anyone take my loved ones from me again."

When Dev's mind opens Caleb can feel the presence, and it's massive. How he managed to keep all of it hidden to amazing. feelings brush against his own mind, and He thinks he understands his master a bit more.


Back on the Ghost Hera is trying to get to the bottom of things, even if it means using chopper to threaten Sabine and the Rhodinian to get them. Zeb stands back, unsure of who to side with, one of the two that saved him, and the the one that's got the killer droid.

To the kids utter confusion, Sabine barely bats and eye. "Dev told me-"

"Don't you mean Ezra?" Hera cuts in, her glare sharpening to a whole new degree and her lekku twitching.

"No Dev, and he told me that he didn't want to get too close to anyone so that if he lost anyone else it would hurt less."

"And when did he tell you this exactly?" Hera all but demands.

"He didn't even plan to tell me, I think that if he could he would have kept me in the dark longer." Sabine sits back and ponders for a moment, her gaze going someplace far. "It really ticked him off when I refused to call him anything else for a month, I think he still trying to forgive me completely."

The two teens let that sink in, going over how it wasn't Dev that told them, but a friend who lost most if not all forms of proper thought to help undermine the empire.


Dev and Caleb are leaning in meditative poses, surrounded by creatures that tried to kill them moments before. at the sound of the large armored door opening the two force sensitive let them lose.

The creatures do a well enough job of holding them back, but in the end the two Jedi have to step in. And that is where things went from bad to worse.

Dev is momentarily distracted with keeping the creatures in check and commanding them were to go, and who to attack, that he fails to notice his brash young padawan go after an imperial member with ghostly white skin and red markings underneath their eyes. The moment Dev realizes what the teen is doing, all hell breaks loose. Dev turns around just as Caleb is pushed back by the force. the teens blaster that Dev lent him sliding away.

It's in that moment that the image of his master overlaps the boy, and that is soon replaced by a friend he knew as stance. Image after image of those he sees dies replace or join Caleb, and Dev is soon overwhelmed by his grief. Anger and Fear consume him, and with his back to the ledge, he feels a larger power than the creatures they have been using.

Those who remain can feel the disturbance, and are all witness to the creatures all but cowering to the darker reaches of the abandoned warehouse. Caleb switches his gaze from this to see the once vibrant blue eyes of his master are being over by gold creeping out from the pupils. The firey glow from below illuminates Dev making his midnight locks all the darker from behind. From behind Dev, a creature, similar to those they have been using before drags itself up from the depths to tower over the man like a demonic familiar.

With what can only be the queen at his back, Dev dashes forward, picks up Caleb's blaster, and goes after the Pu'an.

At first Caleb can only watch is apprehension as Dev fights, but is spurred into action as the Jedi is knocked away, left on the rough surface to seemly shiver.

"Dev are you ok?" Caleb inquires as he slides to a stop by the mans side. Dev shifts to his hands and knees. "Not now, we - we need to go. Get - get out of - of here." He says as he tries to get to his feet. Caleb does his best to assist and gives him a shoulder to lean on.

Once they get on the phantom, Caleb takes control after it becomes evident that Dev will have trouble with all of his shaking. Once auto pilot is engaged, and the ghost has been contacted, Caleb tries to get answers about what the disturbance could be. the only answer he receives is "I'll tell everyone later."


They reach the Ghost, and are bombarded by the rest of the crew. Ezra ignores them all an focuses on Zheebo. "Are you alright? I hope they didn't bother you too much." He says as he pulls the rhodinian to the side, away from the others.

"Ah young brid-" Dev holds up a hand and speaks loud enough to allow the other to hear him.

"I'm going to stop you there, I go by Dev Morgan now, please keep that in mind."

"Ah yes, you took the name of your toy?" Zheebo questions, and judging by the blush adorning his face, that exactly what Dev did.

Sabine comes to Dev's rescue and lead Zheebo to one of the side airlocks. "Come on, there's some people here to escort you to safety." As Sabine leads him away, Dev retreats to his room, to hide away, unsure if his eyes still betray the control he has over himself.

The teens hang back in the main lounge area and turn on the holovid to see what the empire is up to. Sabine joins them just as the news turns to static and is replaced by an image of a man claiming to be senator Trayvis, as he delivers his message the image cuts to a video of a two storm troopers leading a human woman away in chains, her hair in disheveled braids. It is the next part that they truly pay rapt attention.

"Jedi Master Depa Bilaba is alive, and imprisoned unlawfully somewhere in the Stigion System. As citizens, we demand the Emperor release Bilaba and grant her a fair trial before the enti-"

"Citizens of the old republic, let it be known that somewhere within the Stigion System, a citizen is being unlawfully held. The Emperor has refused to grant a fair trial to Jedi Mas-" That is all that Trayvis can get out before the broadcast from before takes control once again. Sabine turns off broadcast and shifts her gaze towards the other two. "You three - sorry four" she corrects at Choppers angry whomps. "Thinking what I'm thinking?"

Zeb nods, "You're thinking we go get this Jedi Master."

Sabine "Exactly."

Hera holds up a hand. "Are you sure having another jedi on board is such a good idea, I mean the one here is already too secretive."

"Yeah, but Dev is always saying that he's doing the best he can, he never finished his training, so if we do this and he finishes his training, he can better train me." Caleb points out, and Hera crosses her arms, "Fine' but I'm not happy about this."

Sabine smiles at the young twilek, "Yeah, you still want to know what Dev is hiding, but this might be the thing that brings it out."

And with that, the planning begins... If only they had told Dev
