Star Wars Rebels: Marooned 2 (Short Story) Part 3
Finding a Place in the World:
Arising early, Sabine smiled at her sleeping husband. Last night and a few hours ago, she had seduced Ezra into having sex. Though it did not take much convincing. What had blown her mind was when he went down on her. She was not expecting him to do that, though she thoroughly enjoyed it. She decided in a bit she would inquire just where he had learned to do that. Down below them, she could hear the Randars arising from their own sleep. Sabine had to admit that sleeping in the Barn was a lot better then in the open air. It was a great deal warmer and more comfortable then lying on the Ground with only a Tarp for padding. With a yawn, she poked Ezra and he stirred slightly. "Too early." He muttered and Sabine chuckled.
"Come on Ezra, time to get up." Sabine told him and he ducked down inside the Double Sleeping Bag. She followed him inside and leaned closer to him. Seeing that he had his eyes closed. She leaned closer and kissed him. Which caused him to smile. "Oh so you are awake." She commented and kissed him again. Reaching downward further into the bag. "Look at that, something else is up and ready." She whispered clasping her hand around something that was beginning to harden.
"I thought you said it was time to get up." Ezra gasped as he felt Sabine begin to squeeze and lightly caress his rising pole. She smiled seductively and ran her hand up and down. Causing him to moan. "Oh wow!" He whispered liking what she was doing.
"Well as long as something is up, why not...do something with it." Sabine stated smirking, then straddled his lap and aimed him towards where she needed him to go. Slowly descending downwards. She liked being on top for awhile. Wanting to switch as soon as she had her first orgasm. Then she wanted him on top to really give her several more. Spending about an hour or so having marital bliss. They both knew that it was time to actually get dressed and arise for the day. Today Ashina and Renso were going to take them to the nearby town of Tasar Crossings, along with the A-Wing Fighter. The idea was to trade the Power Conversion Recharger for perhaps one of the empty Houses that Sabine could use as her Repair Shop. In route, Ashina pointed out different areas.
"Over that way about eight miles is the Main Road to the Next Town. From there you can get to Galat, it is basically the only City." Ashina told them pointing east away from the Mountains and across the Plains. "Galat is probably about twenty miles from here."
"So how far are these Jedi from here?" Sabine asked and Ashina exhaled sharply. Then pointed to the South.
"Over that way...their Temple is housed inside a Cave." Ashina said and then shook her head. "Do not fret they are about thirty miles from here and do not come that often. If they do come it is to demand more Tribute." That bothered Ezra. From what he could surmise these Jedi wannabes were nothing more then pirates that used their limited abilities to lord over the people. He suspected that they had limited abilities with the Force, since he still could not sense them and he bet that they could not feel him as well. Though he was not using the Force that much, so perhaps that is hiding him from them. At the outskirts of Tasar Crossings. Sabine shook her head. It was not much of a town. Twenty or thirty small houses lined the main street. But behind the Houses was two large oval shaped Buildings. Ashina saw her staring at the large structures. "That Sabine is the Grainy Storage Bins. Three of the Local Farmers store their Bailey Grain there to be shipped to other Towns and Galat." She told them and the two new arrivals saw a large Speeder Truck pull up to the Storage Bins. Loading a Shipment for transport.
Finding an abandoned House took no time and after Ezra removed the Power Conversion Recharger was just as easy. The Town Magistrate agreed instantly to the exchange and within an hour Ezra and Sabine were moving in. With the help of their new Friends the Place was livable in no time. While Sabine finished up with Ashina's help. Renso showed Ezra the Junk Yard. Then helped him move an old Broke Down 4 Seat Speeder back to the House. Using one of the Anti-Gravity Repluser Coils, Ezra was able to get the Speeder to function once more. This amazed Renso as Ezra place a For Sale Sign on the Windshield of the now operational Speeder. "You two might have a real nice future here with us." Renso commented as he looked over the Speeder with a smile.
"Well I can't let my Wife do everything. Otherwise she might get bored with me." Ezra said and from the small Porch Sabine laughed, she and Ashina were sitting and relaxing for the last ten minutes. Watching as Ezra worked on the Speeder.
"Not likely. Though I was hoping that you would end up being the House Husband. Doing all the cleaning, cooking and all the other really tedious chores." Sabine said still laughing as Ezra gave her a look of displeasure at the idea.
"We share those chores." Ashina commented and Sabine rolled her eyes. Not telling their new friend that she could burn preheated Space Waffles or that before she generally conned Hera into doing her Wash.
"Happy Wife, Happy Life." Renso said winking at Ashina who smiled at him. Then over at Ezra. "It is an old saying that floated around Naboo for years. Something my Grandfather told me when I married her." He informed Ezra and the younger man nodded with understanding. It actually sounded like a good saying to put into use. Ezra began to look about the small town and one Building had people going in and out of it constantly.
"What is that building?" Ezra asked and Renso smiled broadly.
"That is the most important building in town." Renso replied, Ezra and Sabine began to wonder what the Building was. It was too small to be some type of Store, or a Bank of sorts or...hell they had no idea what would make it so important. Ashina noticed their confused expressions as the two tried to figure out what it was and what made it so important to the Town.
"It is the Tavern." Ashina stated and both Sabine and Ezra laughed. "Come on let us get some ale." She pointed towards the building and as they began to walk towards it. Renso stopped. Down the street he saw Four People riding on the back of Randars. When Ashina saw them she gasped. "Oh no." She whispered. Her husband stiffened and exhaled sharply.
"Yep that is Molt Moltag and his two brothers and sister." Kenso growled as the four rode towards the center of the town. Ezra looked up at the four and instantly noticed that all four had extremely old model Lightsabers hanging from their belts. When the Four approached the largest and oldest glared down at Kenso.
"Kenso Ghants, just the man we came all this way to see. Jedi Master Darius has sent us to tell you and the others that we need double the usual Tribute." Molt said as he looked over at Ezra and then at Sabine. He smiled broadly at Sabine. "Who do we have here?" He asked still staring at Sabine.
"They are new arrivals Molt." Kenso stated and Molt glared back at him.
"Jedi Molt or Sir!" Molt declared sternly and Kenso shook with frustration, then nodded.
"Fine. They are new arrivals Jedi Molt." Kenso said with a bit of malice in his tone. Molt smirked and then looked back at Sabine. Eyeing her up and down with appreciation. His two brothers were also appraising her.
"Hmmm. You know I need a new Servant. I believe you might just be perfect to replace my old one." Molt said then looked back at his Brothers and Sister. "What do you think Galt, Topak? Do you think she might be adequate to serve me?" He asked not bothering to ask his sister. Since she would not approve anyway.
"She is a pretty young thing. You know what if you do not take her as a Servant then perhaps I will." Galt stated with a huge smile. Kenso stepped in between them and Sabine.
"Uhm listen Mo...Jedi Molt. She is new here and she is actually married to that young man there." Kenso told them and Molt stared down at him and his forehead showed him straining. Then with a flick of his hand, he force pushed Kenso. Off to one side Ezra paid close attention. From what he could tell the one called Molt had put a lot of concentration into that force push.
"Mind your own affairs Kenso! Or next time I will not be as gentle!" Molt declared sternly then smiled as he gazed back at Sabine. "Come here girl...let me have a better look at you." He ordered and Sabine could not help but laugh.
"Do as Molt says Girl!" Topak growled and Sabine shook her head. Fondly looking over at her Husband.
"What do you think Ez'ika? Are they going to be a problem?" Sabine whispered to Ezra who shook his head and smiled.
"Nope...as I have sensed. They are a joke. I do not know who trained them, but they do not know anything about the Force." Ezra whispered back and Sabine shrugged.
"DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY? GIRL! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!" Molt yelled angrily, drawing the attention of everyone. He jumped down off his Randar and stalked towards her. Ezra stepped in front of him. "Get out of my way BOY, or I will teach you not to interfere with a Jedi!" Molt declared, raising his hand.
"Please don't do that Brother." Asha said in a pleading tone. "He is new here and he probably does not know about us yet." Molt smiled wickedly.
"Well he is about to learn the hard way." Molt said as he concentrated, his forehead wrinkled as he used the Force to choke the younger Man. Then his eyes widened when nothing happened. Usually by now one of his victims would be choking on the invisible pressure that he used against them. But not this one, he just stood there smiling as Molt concentrated harder.
Ezra could almost feel the small pressure against his throat. With just a minor use of the Force, he simply pushed it away. After a minute, Molt started to breath hard and stepped back. Everyone including the supposed Jedi stared at Ezra in shock. All but Sabine who stood there with a small smile. "You know maybe it would be best if you and your Brothers just left." Ezra said calmly and Molt glared at him.
"I do not know how you are able to resist my Power. But let us see how you like having my Lightsaber cut you apart." Molt growled angrily, reaching down and clasped his Lightsaber. His Brothers also drew theirs. With a sputtering snap hiss, all three ignited their Lightsabers and Molt smiled evilly. Until he heard the clear sound of another Lightsaber being activated and it was not his sisters. This one was Green while his and his brothers was a light blue. "What?" He whispered in shock as he and his brothers stepped back several feet.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. MAY I PRESENT...EZRA BRIDGER WREN...A REAL JEDI!" Sabine stated loudly and she heard a combined gasp as everyone inhaled at once. She had to laugh as she noticed that everyone and it was everyone, was staring in shock at her Husband. The three would be Jedi finally came out of their daze and decided to attack Ezra. She smiled broadly as she shook her head. That in her mind was a huge mistake. It took only seconds for Ezra to first block the blows and then easily defeat each one of them. The last thing he did was take their Lightsabers away from them.
"Give...give me back my...Lightsaber." Molt said gasping and groaning as he tried to rise. Ezra held them aloft with the Force, having them hover a few feet from him.
"Take it if you can." Ezra stated firmly, then smiled as he felt the weak attempt from each of the pretenders try to pull their Lightsabers back to them. Deactivating his own Lightsaber attaching it to his belt, he reached up and plucked each one of the others out of the air. Now holding them in his hands. "I will give these back to you, when and only when you all start to behave like Jedi and not common ruffians or thugs." Molt and the others glared at Ezra.
"You will pay for this." Molt declared, walking over to his Ranter and mounted. His two cronies followed suit. They rode out of town, not even noticing that Asha Moltag had not gone with them. Ezra looked up at the Girl and she dismounted from her Rantar. Sabine tensed reaching down to rest her hands on her Blasters when she saw that Ezra made no move towards his Lightsaber. The other Girl stopped in front of him and reached down to her own Lightsaber, then knelt. Removing her Lightsaber from her belt and presented it to Ezra.
"Teach me how to be a real Jedi. Teach me the true ways of the Force, Master." Asha said as she held her Lightsaber pummel towards him. Ready to hand it over to him and hopefully become one of his apprentices. Ezra glanced back at Sabine who was trying not to laugh.
"Wait..wait. I am no Jedi Master...Kalabast I am barely a Pattawan." Ezra stated and Sabine moved over besides him. Still smiling broadly.
"So was Kanan, remember and he took you on." Sabine advised and Ezra winced. Wondering if he could actually teach someone like Kanan had done. Not that he was the best student around. The bystanders shock slowly diminished as they slowly approached Ezra. Kenso and Ashina were the first to speak.
"You know Darius Moltag is going to throw a fit." Kenso said with a huge smile. "He will probably come here and either try to get you to join them or he will try to kill you." Their new friend said and Asha finally stood.
"He will not let you challenge his authority in any way. So he probably will try to kill you. Darius will not want you to join because the others will vote for you to lead us." Asha exhaled then smiled. She had watched the whole little escapade against her other Brother Molt and his friends. Knowing for a fact that Ezra was conceivably better trained and more powerful then any of them combined together. "You will have to kill Darius." Ezra shook his head.
"That is the last option that I will even consider. At most Darius and his followers are just misguided. As Kenso told me, the Jedi here did serve a purpose in the past and all I have to do is remind them to follow the right path again." Ezra had to make it sound good because he had no idea what he was doing. Basically he talking out of his ass and wondered how he was supposed to train someone in the true ways of the Force to become a Jedi. Kanan had made it look so easy. Before he could even start Sabine yanked him inside their new home. The little escapade had enthused her into wanting to spend some alone time that involved him and their bedroom.
A few days later Darius and all the others arrived. The larger older Man swaggered down the street. To Ezra the man acted and looked more like some type of Feudal Lord then that of a Jedi Master. Darius was wearing a long multicolored Robe that barely contained the Man's rounded stomach. What made Ezra weary was he saw the Man's yellow eyes. Darius had embraced the Dark Side of the Force and in time he would bring the others down with him. Even though Darius had some limited training and the fight was intensive, Ezra easily defeated him. In the end Darius exploded with dark energy and the others decided to no longer follow their evil Masters example any longer. Wanting Ezra to train them all in the true way of becoming Jedi.
The Other Side of the Nebula Cluster:
Sitting at the Controls, Hera glanced over at Chopper. "What do you mean the probe exploded? I thought we shielded it so it would not attract the Energy Discharges." She asked the Droid and it waved its arms about, beeping and complaining. Kanan off to one side, waited for Hera to translate. "Well it would seem that no amount of Shielding will protect it from the Discharges. The last readings indicate that there is no possible way for us to enter without the risk of being struck." She told him and Kanan winced.
"So in essence we cannot go in and hopefully locate Ezra or Sabine?" Kanan asked and Hera nodded, her Lekku shuddered in frustration. She would have loved to launch another Probe, but they only had the one and that one put a serious drain on the Alliances Finances. She had to almost beg Mon Mothma to provide that one. There was no way that the Leader of the Rebellion would ever authorize another expanse that high. Not unless there was clear cut evidence that Ezra and Sabine were even alive to begin with.
"Not a chance. Chopper calculates that a Ship as big as the Ghost would definitely attract a Discharge. The bigger the Ship the more discharges that could strike it." Hera told him and Kanan exhaled sharply. For some reason the Nebula had gotten worse in the last couple of weeks. From what they could tell one of the Binary Micro Stars had gone supernova and increased the Discharges about 100 fold. Even shutting down everything would do no good. "Not even a small Shielded Fighter could make it safely through. So if they are in there and if they are alive." She shook her head. "They are out of our reach."
"Ursa Wren is not going to like hearing that." Kanan commented and Hera nodded. Turning the Ghost around, she calculated the Jump to Knownest. This type of bad news should be given face to face, not over the Holonet.
Years Pass:
Standing outside their home, Ezra held onto his Wife Sabine and she leaned back against him, with his arms around in front of her. Off in the nearby field, the others were conducting Training in the proper ways of the Force. Asha was guiding the younger children on how to connect with the Force and feel their surroundings. While Molt lead the others in Lightsaber Drills. Sabine smiled at her Ez'ika and began to laugh. "What?" Ezra asked with a little concern. It made him nervous when Sabine laughed for no apparent reason. Generally when she did, that meant she was up to something devious.
"Oh I was just thinking if Kanan could see you now." Sabine said as she lightly kissed him on the cheek and then returned to just leaning heavily back against him. "That and I would surmise that in about 8 months you will have another Student to train." She smiled mischievously and then noticed he did not understand. "Sometimes you can be really dense." She muttered and then laughed again. "Ez'ika, I am pregnant."
The End:
Sorry for the short condensed chapter...I just can't for some reason really get into Star Wars Rebels anymore...maybe after I re-watch the whole series I might get motivated.
