Hello readers! I hope you enjoy this chapter! Please review this story!
Everyone was shooed out apart from Sabine. She wasn't ever going to leave.
…
(Starkiller Base)
"My Emperor the cloning process is almost complete," Thrawn said. Vader watched in spite as Thrawn got all the glory he should have. But then he realized that he's plan was better than theirs. Starkiller's clone could never reach the full potential Ezra has. He needed something else. A clone but one that Ezra made himself. Vader hid the burn marks on his suit from last night. He had seen Starkiller in the dream space. He was a clone but had the same abilities as Ezra. With him he could take out the emperor. Ezra was constantly consumed by nightmares of his actions and of Vader so he used that to his advantage. As Ezra was a grey jedi -he will always still have Starkiller inside of him.
"Vader you will make sure the clone is ready to face Bridger. Don't make a fool of yourself," the emperor spat. Vader had to scream in his head to stop him from saying anything else. Vader nodded and left.
(FULCRUM Planet)
"How's Ezra doing?" asked Fulcrum. Everyone had been worried for him for a few days now ever since he went to far into the dreamspace.
"He's stable for now," Kanan said.
"We need to have a strong leader. He isn't still in a coma so why isn't he here?" asked one of the Jedi. Sabine felt her stomach flip.
"I agree but he has been through some hard times. We can only be here to support him. Yoda chose him for a reason and we have to be there for him, now more than ever," Mace said. Sabine relaxed when Mace relieved the tension of the situation. She was worried that they would go against Ezra. What would happen to him? Would he return to the dark side? Sabine tried to ignore the thoughts in her head but she couldn't get rid of them. If the council turned against Ezra he would break.
Obi Wan walked up to Sabine when the meeting was over.
"Sabine don't worry about what they say. Ezra is a great person,"
"I know. I'm lucky to have him," Obi Wan smiled at Sabine warmly.
"Have you seen him?"
"He went for a walk first but he also said he was getting things ready for some kind of training with you and some others," Sabine suggested. Obi Wan thanked her and ran to get to the others.
(Ezra's location)
Ezra held a bottle. His hand quivered as he moved it closer to his lips. The warm liquid ran down his throat and soothed him off his pain. The voice in his head dissapeared as he took the alcohol. Once he started drinking it he couldn't stop and soon he had finished it all. He felt warm. Starkiller and Vader's voice faded. He looked at the bottle. Nobody could ever find out about this. He looked out to the ocean and threw it as far as he could. Behind him he had set up training stations. He heard the rumble of an engine and saw his friends.
"Ezra!" Leia shouted as she got one of the speed bike. He waved back to her. Luke was riding next to her. Kanan and Obi Wan appeared behind them along with Rex.
"Rex!" Ezra shouted. He hadn't seen the man a lot as they were both busy but it was grand to see him now. Rex shook Ezra's hand but Ezra embraced him in a hug.
"Easy there tiger or shall I say Grand Master?" he teased. Ezra laughed. It was good to see him again.
"So what are we doing?" asked Luke.
"While Kanan and Obi Wan TAKE THEIR TIME!" Ezra shouted so Kanan and Obi Wan could hear, "You can run to the red cone and back for me please," The kids groaned but knew better than to argue. Ezra walked up to Kanan and Obi Wan.
"They are going to be awhile. I made them run quite far," Ezra said. "Obi Wan you can train Kanan so more,"
"What are you doing?" asked Kanan.
"Doing my own training," he replied. Ezra found a comfortable spot on the beach. He took of the crystal on his neck and placed it in front of him. He had almost got the hang of it. He closed his eyes. The crystal began to shine a blue colour. The light suddenly attached itself to Ezra's forhead. The blue shone brightly. Ezra saw Sabine in his mind running with him on the same beach. They danced in the waves as they laughed with joy. Then the light turned to red. He saw Starkiller. Then Vader. His eyes tightened and his wrist clenched.
"Focus Ezra," a voice said in his head. The crystal spoke to him when he was training and soothed him. Even though he was a grey jedi the darkness inside of him goes out of balance a lot. The crystal was testing him. Many flashes of what Starkiller did flashed before him but he let go. His eyes softened and his wrist relaxed. He had to be at peace with Starkiller. The light turned to white and then let go of Ezra. It floated before him. Kanan and Obi Wan caught glances of Ezra and were spellbound.
"Well done Ezra," said the crystal. Ezra looked behind him to make sure the others couldn't hear.
"The nightmares are getting better with your training but Sabine keeps asking me about going to Mandalore. And I can't…I can't let her do that," Ezra mumbled. He had to try and not let the tears slip out.
"Starkiller's actions won't just vanish. You just have to remember that it was Starkiller not you. But the main thing to do if Sabine finds out is to be at peace with it and look for what you can do to help," Ezra nodded. He stood up to practice. A person appeared from out of the ghost. They weren't real though and looked like ghost but could be touched. They wore a cloak and held a white lightsabre in their hand. Ezra didn't ask who they were as it was clear they didn't want him to know. Ezra took out his lightsabre while the ghost moved towards him and they practiced only practices a grey jedi could know.
"And then take the lightsabre down," Obi Wan said to Kanan. Kanan was very good at dueling but his connection to the force wasn't strong. It was as if something was so stuck in his mind that he was blocked from the force. Kanan knew what it was but he was never going to show it. He was worried about Ezra. What if Starkiller came back and the council went against him? What if they killed him? Kanan pushed the thought out of mind.
"How far did Ezra make them run?" Kanan said. It had been 30 minutes already.
"Knowing Ezra we probably won't see them in a while. If they are not back in 30 minutes we will go and find them. And this is why you don't get distracted," Kanan looked down. Obi Wan's lightsaber was near his leg. Kanan sighed in frustration. He hadn't been able to fully focus for a while now. His head was drenched in sweat and his body was aching. It was hard enough being blind.
"Let's leave it for now," Obi Wan said as he saw Kanan look tired. Gratefully, Kanan nodded.
"We should find Leia and Luke before they pass out," Kanan said. Obi Wan laughed and helped him up.
"Ezra we're just going to train luke and Leia before they pass out!" Kanan shouted. Ezra waved his hand. They jumped on the speeders and left.
