Chapter 12
'Ok, harder than it looks, definitely harder than it looks, loth-rat gets a little respect for doing this on a regular basis!' thought the clone as he tried to wiggle through the tiny space, looking for the room with the Jedi. And finally after he was about to lose all hope of ever finding the Jedi's room in this mess of metal twists and turns, he heard it.
"No. No, no,no,no,no! this is impossible! Ezra is too young to have such capability! I knew that his powers were growing faster, sometimes I feared that they were growing faster than I could teach, but, this much! There's no way his powers could have grown this much!"
The clone watched from the vent, and began watching the Jedi, hanging on to every last word. What was he talking about?
Just then the piolet, 'Hera' thought the clone, 'she is very nice lady. She won't last five minutes with Darth Vader.' Appeared in the door way. "Kanan?" she said, her voice soft, but full with worry, "what's going on? I could hear you talking to yourself through the wall."
"Huh, oh, it's, it's nothing Hera."
"Oh" she said sitting down, "'nothing' huh, ok Ezra!" she said mocking him. "You know, the whole secretive look really doesn't work for you, why don't you leave that for Ezra."
"Hera-"
"Oh Kanan you and me both know I'm not leaving this room until you spill."
"So, do I have a choice, or-"
"Spill" She said once more.
Kanan sighed loudly, "I thought you were going to say that! It's just, Ezra. I know he's seemed a bit off sins the mission but, well I think I finally figured it out. But I hope I'm wrong, or no I don't! I don't know!"
"Kanan calm down, what do you think about Ezra?"
"Ok, well, I heard noises coming from the main area, and I figured it was one of you guys, but when I walked in, I-I saw Ezra!"
"Oh no!" Hera said sarcastically, "Ezra, in the main room!" she said dramatically but her face in her hands.
"That's not funny!"
"it's a little funny!" she said, then her face turning serious once more, "ok, why was it so bad that Ezra was in the main room?"
"Because!" Said Kanan "I couldn't feel his presents!"
Hera felt her confusion grow. "So, what does that mean?" she asked.
"Ok, many years ago, when Jedi began turning to the dark side, and they began turning agents the other Jedi's, some of the Jedi , only the extremely gifted one's, they began developing this thing. It made it so they could mask they're force presents."
This did not help Hera's confusion at all. "What are you saying? And why would you 'mask' your presents"
"Because" answered Kanan, " when the Jedi, or 'force users' considering once you join the dark side you are no longer a Jedi, began joining the dark side, they began attacking the Jedi, trying to kill us off before they came up with order 66, so as a defense mechanism used by the gifted Jedi, so that way it would be harder to sneak up on the Jedi if they couldn't sense their presents."
"Are you saying what I think your saying?" asked Hera.
"I think so."
"so your saying that you think Ezra, fifteen year old Ezra I might add, is such a strong Jedi, even though he's just a padawan, you think that his powers are so strong that he developed a 'defense mechanism' that was used because Jedi were being killed off, and this mechanism is only achieved by full on, extremely gifted Jedi! And your saying that you think that Ezra is one of them?!"
"Well when you say it like that it just sounds crazy!"
"Ok Kanan!" she said folding her arms, "tell me that in a way that doesn't sound crazy!"
"I know, I know! I just, well you tell me why I couldn't feel his presents!"
"you want me to tell you why. I'll tell you why." Said Hera placing a gentle hand on Kanan's shoulder. "Because a certain padawan has been acting strange, and a certain master is getting worried, so said master starts making ridiculous assumptions about said padawan, to avoid talking to him! Kanan, just get some rest, and I'm sure this will all make scenes tomorrow, ok."
"yea, ok, your right, thanks Hera, night."
"Good night" she said before leaving. But truth be told, he just said all that stuff to get rid of her, he knew that there was something going on with Ezra, but he did also know that she was right, and he did need to talk to him. But the best part about all that stuff was it was tomorrows problem, and to night, all he had to do was sleep.
"I'm going to get to the bottom of this." He said to himself before climbing deep under the covers and letting whatever problems he might have had disappear, if only for the time being.
The clone eventually found his way out of the vent, and fell to the ground. He stood up and dusted himself off, hoping he didn't wake anyone again. "Don't worry Jedi" he whispered to himself, "you will get to the bottom of this, it will just be too late."
Ok, yay, I finished my chapter and I really hope you like it! No, very important thing before I go, I like spaghetti, and giraffes, not together! Do not make spaghetti and giraffe sauce! Lol, night or good mourning depending on what time it is where you are! And please review! ;)
