Here's the second chapter, just like I promised. Here I decided to establish some more training, and why Ezra hasn't quite been broken yet.
Training was going pretty well in the Inquisitor's eyes. Since finding the perfect leverage, he had decided to abuse Ezra's anger and fear. When he wasn't taunting Ezra with the disappearance of his parents, idle threats of the death of everyone the teen held dear. The Grand Inquisitor had even toyed with some mind probing. He chose not to overdo it, only using enough to force Ezra to stay on edge. He wanted to subdue Ezra's will, but he wanted to make it a long agonizing process.
Ezra was physically able to adapt to the change, but was growing weary of the mental attacks. He could deal with burn marks, scrapes, and bruises, but the fact that he was condemned to mental torment wasn't going over well. It didn't just force tragic memories and fears to light, but with each trauma he could feel a wave of internal cold smacking him.
Their training session would be interrupted by the sound of a door opening. Kallus would be making an unwanted and unannounced visit. Turning his attention to Kallus, slightly annoyed by his intrusion, the Inquisitor intended to address the disturbance.
"What do you want Agent?" The Inquisitor questioned. "Can't you see that we're in the middle of something?"
"Believe me, I hate to have to disturb you." Kallus indifferently admitted. "However, one of the men seemed to have caught something that I think you'll be interested in."
Kallus powered on the holopad in his hand. Scanning through the data that he had received, Kallus open up an image pulled from one of the security cameras.
"The image is a bit hazy, but it would seem that we have a few visitors."
The ISB agent handed the Inquisitor the holopad, allowing the Pau'an to study its content. The image in question just barely caught a glimpse of two hazy characters. One colorful set of armor and an earthy looking blended together heading towards one end of the screen. It didn't take long for him to recognize who they were.
"It would appear that some of our rag tag team of Lothal rebels managed to sneak aboard." The Inquisitor acknowledged. "No doubt they're here for the boy."
"How would you like us to deal with them?" Kallus asked.
The inquisitor strolled towards one side of the room, looking for something.
"Whoever they managed to get passed will have to be punished, but now is not the time." The Inquisitor admitted, finding a secret compartment. "Unfortunately, since I haven't gotten the chance to fully brake him yet, Ezra is not quite prepared to fight them. So he'll have to be hidden."
Turning towards Ezra, it was soon noted that he had grabbed a syringe. As the Inquisitor started to approach the teen, Ezra anxiously made an attempt to get away, only to be stopped. Keeping a firm grip on Ezra's shoulder, the Inquisitor administered the contents of the syringe. It wouldn't take long for Ezra to pass out. Preventing the teen from falling, he picked Ezra up and handed him off to Kallus.
"Take him to his quarters." The Inquisitor ordered. "I want you to watch over him until I get this handled. Be warned, if and when he wakes up he may become aggressively disoriented. Feel free to use any physical force necessary in order to subdue him if it gets that bad."
"Understood." Kallus agreed.
Needing no further direction, Kallus exited the training room. The Inquisitor followed suit, however they would both be going down opposite ends of the hallway. The Inquisitor didn't show that he was annoyed by the turn of events. Rather, he was disturbingly intrigued to face off against their guests.
I thought I'd go with the whole sedated thing in order for the Inquisitor to try and get him taken care of him so that Ezra wouldn't try to get away. Now, I've only got two chapters left for this story. I don't know if I'll upload them both at the same time like I did with this chapter and the previous one, or if I'll upload one on one day and the last a day or two later.
