Chapter 28
A night to remember part 1
Ezra's pov
"Does anyone have the right to turn up in my memory without me knowing that they are there" Kanan said.
But that was only half heard by me, most of my attention was on the bird girl in front of me, my first best friend Kara. Like Kanan's master, she was made out of what looked like blue mist, but I know she wasn't force sensitive, at least I didn't think she was. Well maybe she was and she didn't even know it, or maybe it had something to do with Kanan and I.
"Depa I thought we were suppose to keep a low profile and let them work it out for themselves, like they were starting too" said Kara, her feathers fluffed up in her anger at being found out.
"I know, I know, but I could see Kanan was struggling on this and so I decided to help. It has been done before by past masters and I know I could do it now" Depa replied looking to the two of us before continuing on "besides is not something you haven't been doing for my padawan's padawan".
"Fine, guilty as charged, but still what was hard about watching that part of his life?" Kara asked.
"Why do I have a feeling they know what is coming for us?" I said looking at the two ghosts having what I could only think of as a stare off.
"They might do, but I don't think she will be going anywhere to soon, do you Ezra?" Kanan said and smiled as I nodded and we turned back to the memory.
We saw the Kallerians fight over what they were going to do with the young Kanan, then decide to hard him over to the clone troopers Grey and Styles. I turn to Kanan, to see him lean into his master's touch, for as Kanan and I had been watching the memory the two force ghost had floated over to join us.
"Caleb, I was never far from you and somehow I knew it was going to be alright. It wasn't a vision because you don't get those after you join the force, but still" Depa told him tightening her hold on him for a moment before letting him go.
Then I saw in the memory what she must have seen, Kanan's friend broke him out of prison and that brought up a memory of when Kanan and the rest broke me out of the empire's ship when I first met them. Maybe it was this memory that made him want to rescue me, he knew what thy would do to me if they ever discovered what I was, what I could do.
"I was worried a little master after that, that you would dislike me for the choices that I made, the choice to join the smuggler for one and what I had to do the survive" Kanan said turning to look Depa in the eye.
"No, I had no problem with what you did,I know the reasons you did it. I was just happy you found some way to live" she replied .
"Not that we had much of a life in the months that followed. running from planet to planet, Jannus complaining about our followers the whole way" Kanan said with a smirk as we see young him talk back to his Kallerian partner, much like I did to him.
"So is it me or are all fourteen year olds like that?" said Kara as we listen to the two smugglers talking about what the next job was on Lan.
"No just ours. Ezra has always been like that from what I could see and something tells me that it didn't take too long after my death for the real Caleb to show up again" Depa replied looking at the two of us.
"Like how?" I ask earning a worried look from Kanan, he really didn't want me to know what he was like when he was my age.
"Caleb was a good student, but he had an adventurous heart, although he liked things the way they are. He also liked the excitement of battle and I think you are like this too" Depa replied and I smiled she did know me and Kanan well.
"Don't I know it. Ezra was and is a trouble maker, you know he always says that trouble finds him, but it a way , I think he makes trouble happen" Kara said as I turn to see young Kanan talking to someone about a ship.
"Your as happy about that ship as I am to learn to fly one. Maybe one day I will get my own, not that I ever want to leave you master" I said and was rewarded with a short one arm hug.
Then we hear "I have Kasmir's ship... does he have my spice?" I turn again to Kanan not understanding why he would want the spice. I mean I knew it was made into all kinds of things, all kinds of drugs and I suppose it would make it valuable, but still...
"Ezra it was a different time, not that they are much better now but sometimes there isn't any option for us. Until I went to Kasmir to find out what was happening, only to find him captured by Grey the storm trooper" Kanan said looking at young him watching Kasmir and Grey talk.
"Vanishing was never going to happen, you do realize that my ex padawan, nor is it cowardly to leave if you think that might change the situation"Depa told us all.
As the scene changed and we watched young Kanan convince the man who had the ship to let him take the ship early. Why did he listen to him? it wasn't like he was using a jedi mind trick or anything, he just seem to have a way with people, something I was often told that I had.
"Why does he keep saying he is out of his mind over and over again?" I asked Kanan, who shrugged his shoulders as a way of answering the question.
"I think many people are out of their minds"Kara said watching as the two people of the past approached a small ship.
"Its called the far brook hope" the man said.
"I think I will change it to the escape" young Kanan said smiling at the ship, only for that to change a minute later when they got fired on by storm troopers.
"They really had a thing for you, didn't they master?"I said, knowing that it was kind of like how Dale treated me.
"They couldn't help themselves, but yes even I think this went way past the chips programming" Kanan answered as young Kanan was dragged away.
"They were really going to do it, kill you as a kid" I asked as I pressed myself closer to him.
"Not if I could help it"Depa replied.
Which had me a little confused. I knew she was a force ghost by this time, but she really couldn't do much as a ghost, could she? but then she was a jedi with full jedi training, not like Kanan having his training cut short. What did that mean for my own training? I mean I was only going by what Kanan was able to teach me and some things that I was able to work out on my own. Still that didn't make Kanan less of a jedi and I was sure with time I would see myself as one.
But still I had to know, so I asked "how master Depa?"
"Like this" she answered and placed her hands on us and we got a flicker of what happened in that ship[ that she had helped to come to pass.
"Master, what..."I started to say before Kanan's memory answered my question.
An: sorry cliffhanger, will try to get the next part up soon.
An2: what do you think of season 4? will Ezra and Kanan survive, as they are the only ones I have no knowledge of past the new hope story line. My hope is they will survive, but have to leave for some reason.
An3: star wars: the last jedi...thoughts anyone?
