"Vaux, you're picking up our fighter from the market," Hera said as she was talking to two fellow rebels outside the Ghost on the planet of Garel as Ezra and her sister was walking down the Ghost's ramp, holding their helmets by their armpits with Chopper following them, "The crates are labeled 'Ronto Meat.' ANd watch out for Imperial troops. They've increased patrols. Good luck."
"You said you have another mission," Ezra spoke up as she, her sister and Chopper approached the twi'lek, "What do you want us to do?"
"Actually, this one's for your sister," Hera stated, causing Sabine to step forward.
"There's a courier coming in who has secret information, "Hera explained, "I need you to pick him up and transport him to havok outpost."
"Sounds easy enough," Sabine told her.
"If it was easy, I'd send someone else. This information is important. We have to get it though," Hera stated, "Keep a low profile."
"Don't worry. You can trust me," Sabine assured her, "What's this courier look like?"
"I don't know, but They'll respond to this code phrase," Hera said as she touched her datapad, causing the device on Sabine's wrist to beep.
"Got it," Sabine said as she placed her helmet over her head before heading to her mission.
"Hey, I can be low profile too," Ezra told Hera.
"You can be… backup for your sister, along with Chopper," Hera decided, "But she is in charge."
"Understood," Ezra said, walking towards Sabine and placed her helmet over her head, "Leader, huh? You know before I became your twin I thought you were a loner."
"I wasn't always a loner before your transformation, Ezra," Sabine told her.
"You sure made it seem that way," Ezra stated, " You used to spend way too much alone in your now our room. And you used to eat alone, as well as combat practice and went off possibly to be alone. Uh, I don't know. I guess sometimes, you know before my transformation, I'd find you alone… after I followed you and you'd be angry and before I became your twin I heard you say more than one, 'I want to be alone.'" As Ezra says this Sabine notices a familiar graffiti pattern on a wall and examines it as Ezra continues to walk, not noticing that her sister was looking at graffiti on the wall, "But... Actually, I heard you say quite often, just straight, 'leave me alone.'" Sabine took her helmet off as she starts at the graffiti pattern, "Hmm. Okay," Ezra said before noticing that her sister was staring at a graffiti pattern, "Uh, what is that?"
"Nothing," Sabine said before placing her helmet back on and walking away with her sister from the graffiti.
"Garel Shuttle 3765 from Coruscant has arrived in bay 22," a man said on the spaceport's intercom.
"So, how do we find this courier?" Ezra asked her sister.
"Sis, the code phrase is, 'It's a long way to Alderaan.'"
"I think it's this guy," Ezra said, referring to a Rodian that was passing by, "Hey. It's a long way to Alderaan."
"Okay," the rodian said, clearly confused on why she told him that.
"It's a long way to Alderaan," Sabine told a red haired female about an hour or so after Ezra told the rodian the same thing.
"It's a long way to Alderaan," Ezra said as the same woman her sister spoke to walked by her before the woman walked away in a different direction.
"It's a long way to Alderaan," Sabine sighed as a dark skinned woman walked past her.
"It's a long way to Alderaan," Ezra said to a woman with brown hair who was walking by and just ignored her.
"Hanger 22 is now closed," the man on the intercom said in basic as well as a few other languages hours later.
"It's gonna be a long way back to the Ghost if we miss the courier," Ezra said as she sat on top of a powered down Gonk droid.
"We couldn't have, Sis. Hera had confirmation he boarded the shuttle," Sabine reassured her sister, "Are you sure you were saying the code phrase right?"
"Yes, yes. It's a long way to Alderaan," Ezra stated, but as she said that the Gonk droid she was sitting on suddenly powered up, "What's the matter with this thing?"
"Wait a minute, Sis. That is the courier," Sabine realized before approaching the Gonk droid as Ezra hopped off of the droid, "Talk about a low profile. He came in with the cargo payload." She bent down to see the droid's identification number, "He's unit EG-86."
"Nice to meet you, EG," Ezra said to the Gonk droid as Chopper approached the Gonk droid, "I don't get why they'd hide such important information in this binary box brain."
"Well, would you suspect that thing of being a spy full of secrets?" She asked her.
"Mmm, no. I guess not," Ezra said, thinking about it as she crossed her arms.
"That's too bad," they suddenly heard a femminine voice say and turned around to see a woman in mandalorian styled bounty hunter armour standing above them on a building. before jumping down before them, "Because I would."
"Ketsu Onyo," Sabine stated as she recognized the woman in Mandalorian styled bounty hunter armour, "I saw your mark, old friend."
"Friend? That's a generous term considering what happened," Ketsu said with confusion.
"Uh, Sis, you know her?" Ezra said with confusion.
"Still a bounty hunter, I see," Sabine stated as she examined Ketsu's armour.
"Tell me you don't miss it," Ketsu said, "and you have a sister? How'd that happen?"
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You were a bounty hunter, Sis?" Ezra said with confusion
"I'll explain later, sis," Sabine promised Ezra, "but I don't think Ketsu's here for a reunion and Ketsu it's none of your business on how I have a sister now."
"You know me well," Ketsu told Sabine, "I'm just here for the droid."
Chopper suddenly grunted with confusion, not knowing which droid Ketsu was talking about.
"Not you, Chop. Him," Ezra reassured Chopper, referring to the Gonk droid before turning to her sister, "So, Sis, how do you know her?"
"Your 'sister' never told you how we broke out of the Imperial Academy?" Ketsu asked Ezra with surprise.
"That was a long time ago," Sabine told Ketsu, "Before you got all greedy and left me for dead."
"You'd have been better off dead than joining this band of rebels," Ketsu laughed, "I didn't believe it until I saw the Empire put a bounty on you."
"You gonna try to collect on it?" Sabine asked her.
"Haven't decided yet," Ketsu answered, "Besides, I work for the Black Sun now and I have another job to finish first."
"I can't let you do that," Sabine stated.
"How about we all relax before…" Ezra started as a mexican standoff began to occur.
"You there," a stormtrooper Commander began as he and a group of stormtroopers began to approach the three Mandalorians.
"That happens," Ezra muttered to herself.
"Citizens, what's going on here?" the Stormtrooper commander inquired, "There's a curfew on this hanger. You need to leave immediately."
"Don't interrupt us!" Ketsu exclaimed before taking out a blaster before firing at them, Sabine did the same as she and Ezra took cover behind different container boxes while Ketsu hid behind the sane one Sabine was at but from a different corner and Sabine began shooting the Stormtroopers with her WESTAR-35 before hiding back down behind the container, "Nice shot. Haven't lost your touch." As Ketsu complimented her, she stood up and began firing back at the stormtroopers.
"Good thing you haven't either," Sabine complimented her former friend as Ketsu hid back down behind the container.
"Stay here," Ezra ordered Chopper as she took her WESTAR-35 out and began firing at the stormtroopers, who began to hide as more stormtroopers rushed in before she quickly hid back down, "Okay, change of plans, Chop. Get Boxy here onto that shuttle." Chopper grunted in confirmation and began trying to get EG-86 onto the shuttle as Ezra continued to use her WESTAR-35 on the stormtroopers. Sabine and Ketsu soon moved to different containers to use for cover as Ezra looked up and saw EG-86 hopping as it boarded a shuttle, "Sabine! Go!"
With that said, Sabine took off for the shuttle, while Ezra continued to shoot the stormtroopers with Ketsu doing the same before climbing into the shuttle after her sister did the same.
"I'm sorry, but there are no more flights scheduled for this evening," the shuttle's RX- series pilot droid informed Sabine as she hacks into the Shuttle's computer system via shuttle's keyboard-like device on both sides of the shuttle's dashboard, "If you contact…"
"Yeah, I don't have time for a ticket," Sabine told the pilot droid, "Chopper, shut him down and take over."
"That is unacceptable," the pilot droid said as Chopper went over to the shuttle's astromech port next to him and plugged his scomp link into it, "This is my ship, and I will not take 'no' for an…" The pilot droid shut down before he could finish his sentence and the shuttle began to lift off of the ground with Ezra shooting back at the stormtrooper at the doorway with her WESTAR-35.
"Bet you're glad you brought backup, Sis," Ezra said as she looks at her sister.
"Yeah, it's working out great," Sabie said, agreeing with her, "Exactly as planned. Now, hang on!"
Ezra continued to fire upon the stormtroopers as the shuttle began to fly higher but soon one of the stormtroopers blaster bolts' hit the shuttle, right next to where she was standing, causing her to fall off the shuttle, "Whoa!" She screamed before jumping on a building below, landing on her feet and activated her helmet's comlink, "Hera, the mission's gotten complicated."
"I thought you were keeping a low profile," Hera answered with disbelief.
"Yeah, well, it just went high profile," She stated before running away to get out of sight.
"There's no escape. We have you surrounded," the stormtroopers said as they surrounded and pointed their blaster rifles at Ketsu.
"Hello, boys. I'm afraid this has all been a terrible misunderstanding," Ketsu said with her hands up.
"One that you're gonna answer for," the stormtrooper behind her stated, "Now drop your weapons." He then realized that she was up to something, "Don't do it."
"Do what?" She asked before grabbing her staff-like sword from her back before swinging it at the stormtrooper behind her, "This?" She grabbed the stormtrooper as she began to use his body as a human shield before using her blaster to fire on the stormtrooper that was in front of her.
"What the…" Another stormtrooper said with surprise before throwing the stormtrooper that she using using as a human shield at him before using her staff-like sword on the stormtrooper that she used as a human shield, causing his blaster rifle to slide across the ground and swung her staff-like sword at one of the Stormtrooper before running off.
"Hey!" A stormtrooper commander yelled as he ran after her as she jumped onto a shuttle before jumping onto him and hit him with her staff-like sword as she yelled with a battle cry, but just then one of the stormtroopers pushed her towards a wall and began to punch her, to which he missed her and she punched back before grabbing him and pushed him towards the shuttle next to them, she then immediately kicked her staff-like sword up before grabbing it and placed on her back before noticing a shuttle taking off.
"Uh, no, no… No, no, no!" the stormtrooper she pushed onto the side of a shuttle yelled before she used her staff-like sword to jump onto the shuttle that was not in service before hopping onto the shuttle that was lifting off before hopping off the shuttle back onto the building she jumped down from earlier.
"Where did she go?" One of the stormtroopers asked, touching his helmet as he regained consciousness.
"I don't know," the other stormtrooper answered, touching his helmet as well as they stood up before seeing a GX1 Short Hauler taking off before he turned around as he walked away, "Bounty hunter scum. Garel's crawling with them."
Chopper grunted at Sabine with agitation, reminding her that Ezra fell off the shuttle's ramp as it was flying away from the spaceport.
"I'm sure my sister's fine, she has 99% of my DNA after all," Sabine reassured Chopper as she was flying the shuttle, "Now, program the hyperdrive. We need to get those rendezvous coordinates." With that said, Chopper plugged his scomp link into the shuttle's astromech port. "We got lucky to get away so easily."
Alarms started blaring as soon as she said that and Chopper turned to her and grunted.
"Scanning a ship?" She repeated as she realized what the ship that the shuttle was scanning was before muttering to herself, "Oh no."
As she said that Ketsu's GX1 Short Hauler began shooting at the shuttle, hitting one of the thrusters.
"Yep, that's Ketsu, all right.," Sabine said, knowing that she was correct, "She knocked out our Hyperdrive, which means I bet I know her next move. Lock yourselves down."
With that said both Chopper and EG-86 locked their feet down onto the floor of the shuttle before the top turret of Ketsu's GX1 Short Hauler fired at the shuttle's door destroying it.
"Too late!" Sabine cried out as the console sparked before falling on the floor from the chair she was sitting on, and objects within the shuttle began to fly into the vacuum of space, with EG-86 flying onto the door on his side, causing him to not fly into space as Sabine grabbed onto the back of the chair she was sitting in, before she accidentally let go of the chair and flew onto EG-86 and Chopper grunted before flying out of the shuttle from the section of the door that was not blocked from EG-86, "Chopper!" As she said that she realized that she needed to close the doorway in order to stop gravity from pushing EG-86 and herself out of the shuttle, "Hang on! I gotta seal the hatch." She then got on top of EG-86 as she went for the doors control panel's red button that was on the other side of the doorway but as she does that containers flew from the back of the shuttle towards her, she saw this and backed away as the container flew out of the ship through the section of the doorway that was not blocked by EG-86, Sabine then got back on EG-86 and soon reached the control panel and pressed the red button with her finger, causing a blue shield to materialize around the doorway, causing Sabine and EG-86 to fall onto the floor as the gravity within the shuttle returned to normal.
Meanwhile in space, Chopper grunted as he activated his boosters and began to fly back towards the shuttle and Ketsu's GX1 Short Hauler.
"The next time I steal a ship, it'll be one with guns," Sabine said as she took her helmet off after getting EG-86 back on his feet before approaching the shuttle's dashboard and heard a beeping sound from the dashboard and realized that it was a holocommunications call and answered it, causing a holographic image of Ketsu to appear.
"No hard feelings, Sabine. It's not personal, just business," Ketsu told Sabine, "And speaking of business, here's the deal… Toss out the power droid, and I'll let you live."
"And if I refuse?" Sabine inquired.
"I'll blow up the shuttle and scoop my bounty from the debris," Ketsu answered while unbeknownst to her Chopper landed on top of her ship.
"I don't believe it," Sabine said as she watch Chopper land on top of the GX1 Short Hauler.
"You better believe it. I'll do whatever it takes to complete my mission," Ketsu warned her.
"No, I, I don't believe that you can do it," Sabine restated as Chopper moves over to the top turret of Ketsu's GX1 Short Hauler.
"Maybe that's true, but I've changed more than you realize. I have new loyalties now," Ketsu said as Chopper began to pull the cables out from the turret of Ketsu's GX1 Short Hauler with his utility arm before tossing the cable aside and began to do the same on another section of the gun.
"Right. Finally part of Black Sun," Sabine stated.
"Just like we always dreamed. I got the best weapons, best ship, and I'm feared across the galaxy," Ketsu told her.
"Ugh. I can't believe I wanted that," Sabine muttered to herself before turning back to Ketsu, "The Black Sun are slavers and assassins who don't care about anything but body counts and quotas. They'd kill you too, for a profit."
"Speaking of which, your time is up. Now hand over the droid," Ketsu demanded, causing EG-86 to shutter in fear while Chopper finishes pulling the other cable out of the turret of the GX1 Short Hauler with his utility arm before starting to remove a third cable from the turret.
"You can't do it," Sabine told Ketsu.
"I really wish it hadn't come to this, old friend," Ketsu apologized before clicking the buttons to her GX1 Short Hauler's turrets on the ship's steering wheel-like device, causing the turrets to move only for it to not fire which confused her, "What?" She began to try again but like before nothing happened when suddenly Chopper looked over her from above the ship's window holding the turret's third and final cable in his utility arm, laughing. "You? That's my weapons array! What have you done?"
"So long, old friend," Sabine said as she pushed the shuttle's steering wheel forward, causing the shuttle to move forward, flying over Ketsu's GX1 Short Hauler with Chopper soon activating his rocket booster as he began to fly towards the shuttle and with that Ketsu turned her ship around.
"I'll hold her steady. Just get him inside," Sabine told EG-86 as the shuttle's cargo bay hatch opened with EG-86 standing behind the hatch as Chopper was nearing the hatch. EG-86 hopped on his feet as Chopper was rapidly approaching the hatch.
"Oh, no you don't," Ketsu said from her ship as she saw Chopper getting closer to the shuttle before clicking a button on her dashboard and then immediately touched the center of her steering wheel, causing him to be pulled back towards Ketsu's GX1 Short Hauler, grunting as this happened and soon his booster deactivated and turned around as he faced the GX1 Short Hauler and covered his eyes with his arms from his dome as he was pulled closer and closer towards the GX1 Short Hauler.
"Where's Chopper?" Sabine asked EG-86 as the Gonk droid entered the shuttle's cockpit and started grunting as he made a sound that sounded like the word 'Gonk', "Calm down. What are you saying?" He continued to grunt, letting her know that Ketsu had captured Chopper. She soon activated the ship's comm as she began to turn the shuttle around, "All right, Ketsu. Let's make a trade."
"I'll extend the docking ramp and get your little friend ready," Ketsu said from her ship as she got off from and walked away from the chair in the cockpit and jumped down a hole in her ship landing on her feet behind Chopper, who started grunting at her as he turned around before she too her staff-like sword out and pointed it at him, causing him to make a sound that sounded like "Uh-oh,' "I had a feeling she wouldn't leave you. She was always soft."
Sabine pressed buttons from the shuttle's dashboard as the shuttle stopped as it moved right next to the GX1 Short Hauler and released a docking bridge which connected with Ketsu's docking bay.
"Try anything, and I'll disintegrate you," Ketsu warned Chopper as the shuttle's docking bridge finished connecting with the GX1 Short Hauler and soon Sabine appeared in the doorway.
"Stay here," Sabine ordered EG-86 as she walked through the bridge from the shuttle.
"Well, well," Ketsu said as she walked through the bridge from her ship with Chopper following behind her, "While I've changed, it seems you haven't changed at all, well besides having a sister all of a sudden." She then noticed that EG-86 was still on the shuttle, "You're not giving up the courier, are you?"
"Nope," Sabine confirmed, "You're gonna have to take him.
"And this astromech… Not very smart, sticking your neck out for it," Ketsu said, walking forward a bit as she crossed her arms.
"Chopper's more than a droid. He's a Rebel and a friend," Sabine stated, causing Chopper to grunt happily.
"Oh, Sabine," Ketsu said before taking her helmet off, revealing that she was a dark skinned woman with hair only on top of her head, purple eyes and a red tattoo that went into a circle with a smaller circle within it as it went around the back of her head along with lines that went towards the front of her head but ended as it reached above her ears, "We were once friends. Tell you what. Give me the power droid, and I'll share my cut with you. Like the old days."
"I don't do things just for money anymore," Sabine told Ketsu.
"That's right. Now there's 'the cause,'" Ketsu said as she turned around before turning back around, "You really think your little rebel group can overthrow the Empire? Grow up, Sabine. You can't be that foolish."
"As I recall we were once almost like sisters," Sabine reminded Ketsu, "But… We only cared about ourselves."
"It's called survival," Ketsu told her, "You of all people, should know you can't trust people."
"I forgive you," Sabine suddenly admitted.
"For what?" Ketsu asked with confusion.
"For leaving me for dead," Sabine explained, "And I still trust you."
"And you're wrong," Ketsu said, not believing her.
"I met people who gave me a second chance in life, and that's what I'm giving you," Sabine told her.
"Imperial cruiser to Garel Shuttle 63725," an Imperial officer said over the shuttle's comm a few seconds later, "Your craft has been identified as stolen. Prepare to be boarded."
"Looks like we're friends again," Sabine told Ketsu.
"Don't have much of a choice," Ketsu explained before they ran into the shuttle with Chopper following them.
"Hold position for docking," the Imperial officer yet again said from the shuttle's comm as Sabine and Ketsu reached the shuttle's dashboard and saw an Imperial Cruiser near the shuttle from the window, "Attempt to flee, and you will be fired upon."
"Thanks to your little rust bucket, I've got no firepower. And as long as we're docked to this shuttle, we can't use the Shadow Caster's Hyperdrive to escape," Ketsu told Sabine, referring to her GX1 Short Hauler.
"Chop, overload the Hyperdrive on the shuttle," Sabine said as she turned to Chopper who immediately grunted and started to move over to one of the shuttle's astromech ports.
"What are you doing?" Ketsu asked the astromech as he plugged his scomp link into the astromech port.
"Buying us time," Sabine answered before pressing a button on the dashboard activating the ship's comm, "Attention, Imperial vessel. Please be aware, our ships have suffered extensive damage and are in danger of self-destruction."
"I am scanning," the Imperial Crusier's navigational officer informed his officer who was standing behind him, "Systems failure in both ships and a Hyperdrive coolant leak in the shuttle."
"Shuttle craft, you have two minutes to stabilize. Then we will be coming aboard," the Imperial officer said over the shuttle's comm.
"What can you do in two minutes?" Ketsu asked Sabine with confusion.
"Watch," Sabine answered as she stood back up from the chair, "Chopper, purge the reactor, then get over to the Shadow Caster and prepare to disengage the docking tube on my signal." Chopper grunted as she said that.
"You're going to blow up the shuttle?" Ketsu asked her.
"Which will get us the time we need to make our escape," Sabine explained.
"I should have known. You always liked to make things go boom," Ketsu told her.
"Something I learned from you as well as being part of my genetics," Sabine stated, "Still got the armoury of explosives you used to carry?"
On my ship," Ketsu answered before rushing to her ship with Sabine following her and as they reached a container full of explosives she removed the lid, "Only friends I've ever needed."
"Until today," Sabine added as Ketsu grabbed one of the explosives who handed her two of the explosives, "I'll plant them on the shuttle to give the reactor an extra kick."
"That's the Sabine I remember," Ketsu said as she gave her another two explosives.
"Now you get sentimental," Sabine stated before heading back to the hallway as she heads back to the shuttle, "Just get the Shadow Caster ready to fly."
"Sir, I'm registering a power surge on the shuttle," one of the navigational officers informed the Imperial officer standing behind him on the bridge of the Imperial Cruiser, causing the Imperial officer to switch the Cruiser's comm on.
"Imperial Cruiser to shuttle. We are reading a power surge on your vessel," the Imperial Officer said using the Shuttle's comm, "Your reactor core is unstable. Contain the problem immediately."
"It is looking pretty bad over here," Sabine said, answering the comm after placing three of the four explosives on the dashboard before heading to the other side of the dashboard and planted the last one of it, "I'd keep my distance if I were you."
"Whichever one of thieves is in charge, identify yourself," the Imperial officer ordered from the Imperial Cruiser.
"You probably should talk to the captain," Sabine suggested as she reactivates the shuttle's RX- series pilot droid, "Hey, captain. Wake up!"
"Not take no for an answer!" The RX- series pilot droid said, finishing his sentence that he didn't quite get to finish earlier as he was deactivated.
"Your ship is under attack," Sabine said, grabbing the RX- series pilot droid by the head, "You need to exercise emergency protocol."
"Under attack?" The RX- series pilot droid repeated with confusion.
"See that Imperial cruiser out there? It's getting ready to destroy your shuttle for being stolen," Sabine explained.
"Destroy my ship," the RX- series pilot droid said as he turned around towards the dashboard.
"Time to go," Sabine said as she stood up.
"Sir, the shuttle's thrusters are powering up," one of the navigational officers told the Imperial officer behind him.
"Target the control hub. disable it," the Imperial officer ordered and with that said the cruiser began to open fire on the shuttle.
Sabine fell due to the Imperial Cruiser fire on the shuttle as she stood in the docking bridge.
"I think they're onto us," Ketsu said before jumping down the ladder in her ship and stood in front of Chopper, "Droid, release the docking tube, or we're all gonna die."
Chopper started to grunt, EG-86 soon did the same as Ketsu looked through the docking bridge and saw that Sabine was unconscious on the shuttle's floor.
"We have sustained severe damage. Engaging emergency protocols," the RX- series pilot droid said on the Shuttle, "Full power to the thrusters!" He pressed a button on the dashboard as he said that, but instead of moving the shuttle stood still. Ketsu then ran through the docking bridge to get Sabine, but as she helped Sabine onto her feet, the RX- series pilot droid saw her, "Warning! I have engaged emergency protocols."
"Good for you!" Ketsu told the RX- series pilot droid as Sabine groaned as she started to regain consciousness and helped her through the docking bridge.
"Detecting a reactor malfunction," the RX- series pilot droid suddenly said, "How did that happen? Where am I?" He then tried to accelerate the shuttle once again but like last time, It didn't budge.
"This shuttle captain is bold, but foolish," the Imperial officer said, referring to the RX- series pilot droid, "Activate the tractor beam. Take hold of that ship."
With that said, the two navigational officers began to activate the cruiser's tractor beam.
"Happy now, droid?" Ketsu asked Chopper as she and Sabine ran through the docking bridge, "Get us outta here!"
Chopper plugged his scomp link into the astromech port next to the ship's docking bridge as Sabine and Ketsu entered the ship, the door soon closed as the Shadow Caster began to depart.
"Sir, the other ship is powering up rapidly," one of the Imperial navigational officers told the Imperial officer behind them walked forward a bit, "Their Hyperdrive is online."
"Lock onto both ships," the Imperial Officer ordered and one of the navigational officers pulled a lever down towards them.
"It's too late. They've got us," Ketso said as the Imperial Cruiser's tractor beam latches onto the Shadow Caster.
"Not for long," Sabine told Ketsu.
"Are those explosives?" The RX- series pilot droid asked himself as he suddenly heard beeping across the shuttle's dashboard before placing his hands on his head as the shuttle begins to explode as it crashes into the bottom of the Imperial cruiser.
"Reactor breach!" One of the navigational officers reported as he and his fellow navigational officer were swung to their sides by the shuttle crashing into the Imperial cruiser.
Ketso hopped onto the Shadow Caster's chair in the cockpit before pushing the steering wheel forward as the ship flew into Hyperspace.
"Status report!" The Imperial officer ordered on the Imperial cruiser.
"Sir, the shuttle exploded and broke our lock. We've suffered significant damage, and the second ship is… gone," the navigational officer reported.
Soon the Shadow Caster jumped out of Hyperspace near a planet that had water and grass, the ship soon headed towards it before landing on a platform where a few alderaanian rebels and a certain blue and white astromech called R2-D2 was waiting for them to bring Eg-86 to them.
R2 beeped as Sabine, Chopper and EG-86 approached him.
"You can report to Senator Organa that his intel has arrived safe and sound," Sabine told R2 has she placed her arm over the top of EG-86 for a moment, Eg-86 walked forward as R2 beeped at Chopper, who took his arms out of his dome and turned his dome around before R2 rolled away with EG-86 and Chopped went back towards the Shadow Caster where Sabine was standing with Ketsu.
"Let's get you home," Ketsu said as they walked back up the Shadow Caster's ramp, "But I've got to ask, how did you get a sister anyway? 'Cause when we last met you only had a brother."
"It's a long story," Sabine answered, "One that I might answer some day."
Soon the Shadow Caster jumped out of Hyperspace after reentering it and arrived back at Garel and landed at one of Garel's spaceports where both Hera and Ezra were waiting for them.
"So this is really happening?" Ezra said with disbelief, "Last time I saw my sister and that Mandalorian Bounty Hunter they were gonna shoot each other."
"If, I'm not mistaken when we first met you, before your transformation, you were stealing from us," Hera reminded her and Ezra tried to find a comeback but couldn't.
"Congratulations on a successful mission," Hera told Sabine as she, Ketsu and Chopper approached them, Hera then turned to Ketsu, "Thank you for helping our cause."
"Well, it was mostly an accident," Ketsu stated, "I'm not sure I'm ready for a full-on fight with the Empire just yet."
"No one ever is," Hera said before walking away.
"I'm Ezra, Sabine's sister," Ezra said, greeting Ketsu, "We almost blasted each other earlier."
"I know who you are," Ketsu told her, "Sabine told me that you're her sister but didn't explain how you and Sabine are sisters. She said that she might explain it to me someday."
"Sis, can I get a moment here?" Sabine asked her sister.
"Sure, Sis," Ezra said, walking away.
"You could've left me on that shuttle, taken the droids and made a good profit," Sabine told Ketsu.
"It's only money," Ketsu stated.
"Thank you," Sabine said.
"It must be nice to have people backing you up," Ketsu said, placing her hand on her chin for a second, "I had that once, when we were friends. Haven't had that since."
"Look, if you think you'd want to help us out, make a difference, just let us know," Sabine told her.
"I'll think about it," Ketsu said holding her hand out to give her a handshake.
"That's a start," Sabine laughed as she shook her hand.
"Think that's the last we've seen of her?" Ezra asked her sister as she walked next to Sabine.
"No, and I'm glad," Sabine said as she watched the Shadow Caster lift off of the ground, "I think it's time to tell you on how I was once a bounty hunter like I promised to tell you earlier."
Please favorite and review. Would you like me to continue adding the Imperial scenes or not? Also Ezra use the alias Jabba when she meets Commander Brom Titus? And I want to ask, am I the only person who thought of Airachnid from Transformers Prime when they heard Ketsu's voice as they're played by the same person, Gina Torres?
