"So this is it," Ezra said, looking out at the academy from the Phantom door. He couldn't stop thinking about his vision. What if that was real? What if he lost Arez forever?

"It's time to go," Kanan told him, and Ezra nodded. They had to jump onto the platform below, which suspiciously had no guards. Kanan went first, followed by Zeb, and Sabine.

Marina looked at Ezra. "Ready?" She asked.

Ezra nodded. She took his hand and they jumped together.

They landed smoothly on the platform. Ezra went to the panel next to the door and began working on it with a tool he carried with him at all times. The door opened, and they all ran inside. Once inside, they ran down the hall towards the dormitories. Ezra looked at them, reading the numbers on each of the doors. He finally saw the one.

"LRC077," Sabine said. "This is the place. You guys stay out here." The others nodded. Ezra slowly opened the door, then a smile spread across his face.

Arez sat inside on the edge of her bunk. She looked up at him and smiled. "Ezra! I knew you'd come back!" She stood up and ran to him, embracing him in a hug.

Ezra smiled to himself. He had missed this. Arez released him. "C'mon, let's go." She said.

"Hold it right there, Bridger." He looked to see one of the cadets pointing a blaster at them. "You're not going anywhere."

Arez glared at him. "typical Rylee." She said. "In case you haven't noticed, you're outnumbered."

"Like it matters right now." He said. Sabine reached towards one of her blaster pistols. "Hold it, Rebel. Take that gun and I'll shoot."

Ezra didn't know who this Rylee kid was, but he had some nerve. But Suddenly, Rylee was stunned from behind. He fell to the floor to reveil another cadet behind him.

Arez recognized him. It was cadet Siera. "Siera?" She asked.

"Actually, it's Devon." He said. "now go!"

"What about you?" Sabine asked.

"I'll be fine, just get out of here!"

Ezra nodded and they ran out of the dorm. They met up with the others outside the dorm and together, they ran down the hall.

"Our new exit is the upper level," Kanan said.

They got to the upper-level landing platform, only to find it was filled with troopers and cadets.

"Go!" Kanan yelled, and they made a run for it. Sabine, Zeb, and Kanan shot at the troopers and cadets, and Marina ran along with Ezra and Arez. Sabine threw out a smoke bomb. It went off and smoke surrounded them all, thick and suffocating. They troops shot blindly through the smog, half of the shots hitting the other troops. But out of the corner of his eye, Ezra saw one lucky shot headed right for Sabine.

"Sabine! Watch out!" He said. He ran and pushed her out of the way just in time, but was hit himself. He felt the energy pulse through his limbs, making them feel numb, but he fought it and rejoined the group.

The Rebels ran to the edge of the platform and jumped onto another close roof. They hopped across the roofs, escaping. But on the last roof, Arez didn't quite make it. Ezra grabbed her hand before she fell. She dangled over the edge of the building, the only thing preventing her from falling to her doom was his hand. He could feel her slipping...

She stared up at him, her sapphire blue eyes penetrating him. "Ezra, leave me behind..."

"No... No! I won't leave you! Not again!" He yelled in protest.

"Ezra! Go! Go train with Kanan, get a Lightsaber, become a Jedi, take down the Empire."

He felt tears in his eyes. "Not... Without you..."

She locked eyes with him, one look that seemed so intense, filled with all the emotion trapped inside of her. A look that answered all of his questions, while at the same time, leaving him with a thousand more. Her lips parted, and she spoke three last words.

"I'm sorry, Ezra..." She shook herself free and began to fall down towards the ground below.

"Arez!" He yelled out, feeling the agony tearing through him.

"Ezra!" Marina ran back to him. "We have to go." She grabbed his hand and pulled him to his feet, Then they ran together to the Phantom.

Sabine and the others were waiting in the Phantom when Ezra and Marina entered. They sat down and Hera took off, but Sabine saw something off about Ezra. He just sat there, emotionless.

"Where's Arez?" Kanan asked.

Sabine's eyes widened as she realized. Arez hadn't made it...
