Days later after Ezra and Sabine had a family meal with their family, the Manfo'ade kad'au began flying towards the fourth moon of the Gas Giant, Yavin with Ezra flying the ship as the Gauntlet fighter jumped out of Hyperspace as Sabine and Kanan entered the cockpit with Chopper.
"We're coming up on Yavin IV," Sabine stated as Kanan sat in the seat behind his Mandalorian padawan.
"I wonder what this rebel cell is like. And how big it is compared to Phoenix group," Ezra said aloud.
"According to Hera, it's more well-equipped than we were," Kanan told her, "The remnants of Phoenix group are now part of this cell." Chopper then grunted as he rolled out from behind Kanan's seat as Sabine sat in the seat next to her twin sister, "No, Chop. Hera said you're getting an oil bath when we get there, whether you like it or not."
The ship soon entered the atmosphere of Yavin IV and saw a pyramid-temple-like structure at where they were landing at as Zeb walked towards the ship as its ramp lowered with two other rebels.
"Welcome to Yavin IV," the Lasat said, greeting them as he placed his hands on his hips as Ezra, Sabine, Kanan and Chopper left the ship's ramp.
"Zeb!" Sabine cried happily as she went to punch him on the shoulder.
"Whoa, easy there," he said, rubbing his shoulder in the spot where she punched him at.
"What, you haven't gotten weak since I've been gone, have you, big guy?" She asked him as they began walking away from the Mandalorian ship.
"Where's Hera?" Kanan asked Zeb.
"She's on a supply mission," Zeb answered, "Come on, I'll show you around."
"So many different ships and people," Ezra observed as she walked with her sister, Kanan and Chopper as Zeb showed them around the base.
"There are cells gathered here from every corner of the galaxy. And it's still not enough against the Empire," Zeb informed them.
"As long as we can help Ryder, Lothal and Mandalore after we free Mandalore and help both mine and Sabine's people, I'll take what I can get," she answered.
"Ezra, you're back," Rex said, approaching them from the interior of the base as alarms started blaring.
"Rex. What's going on? Where's Hera?" She asked as she greeted the clone.
"Well, if you're looking for Hera, there she is, coming in hot with what's left of her squadron," Rex answered as he pointed at the sky where they saw Hera in a Y-wing with three other Y-wings with her, crashing down towards the surface.
"Base One, this is Phoenix Leader. Stand by for emergency landings," Hera said from her Y-wing that was crashing towards the surface.
"Come on! Come on! Move it!" Rex yelled to his fellow rebels as they ran across the temple's courtyard.
"Check your speed. Angle forward deflectors," Hera ordered the other Y-wing pilots, "Wedge, dump your fuel."
"Got it, boss," Wedge replied before clicking a button in his Y-wing's cockpit and fuel began to fly out from the Y-wing's engines in the back of the starfighter along with the other Y-wings.
"Kanan?" Ezra called out to her master as she, Kanan, Zeb and her sister followed the other rebels across the temple's courtyard.
"Don't worry. She's got it," Kanan reassured his Mandalorian padawan and soon Hera's Y-wing's landing gear extended outwards as her Y-wing neared the landing area and pulled the steering wheel-like device towards her as her starfighter began to make a rough landing as it skidded across the landing area and soon stopped near the other specters and one of the rebel troopers opened up her Y-wing's cockpit's hatch and extended an arm towards her and grabbed his hand as he helped her out of the ship.
"No, my astromech didn't make it," Hera told the rebel trooper that helped her out of her Y-wing's cockpit's hatch as they walked down a ladder as Chopper rolled towards her before looking down and saw him standing next to her, "What? Chopper!" She kneeled down towards him as she hugged him, "Boy, I could have used you on this mission, buddy."
"Captain, are you all right?" Wedge asked as he took off his pilot's helmet as he approached her with two other rebel pilots.
"I'm fine, Wedge," she answered as she stood back up, "I'm glad you all made it down in one piece."
"Sorry about the mission. If we just could've…" Wedge said as he began to apologize.
"This wasn't your fault. Any of yours. Our intel was bad," she told them, "If you hadn't handled yourselves so courageously, we would've lost everybody."
"Thanks, Captain," Wedge said, knowing that she was right.
"Now get cleaned up," Hera told Wedge and the others who began walking away, "I want a full assessment of damage to the Y-wings to see what's salvageable."
"I've seen worse landings," Hera suddenly heard Kanan remark and was surprised when she saw him walk towards her with Zeb and the Mandalorian twins.
"Kanan?" Hera gasped, "You're all here. And Sabine, you came back. What about your and Ezra's family on Mandalore?"
"They'll be fine," Sabine reassured her, "Right now, our family here needs me more."
"Well, I'm glad to have you," Hera told her, "And there's plenty enough work to go around."
"Well then, let's get started," Ezra stated.
"A reunion. How nice," they suddenly heard Kallus's voice say from behind and turned around to see him out of his ISB uniform, replacing it with a casual rebel officer uniform, "But as Commander Wren suggests, it's time to get to work. Mon Mothma requests your presence."
As they entered the briefing room, the specters and Kallus saw Mon Mothma, Dodonna and a hologram of Senator Bail Organa standing in front of a holotable with Rex approaching it.
"Captain, I commend your bravery in protecting your fellow pilots," Mon Mothma said, greeting Hera.
"I just want to know what went wrong out there," Hera responded.
"As do I," Mon Mothma said, agreeing with her before turning to the hologram of Bail, "Senator Organa may be able to shed some light on that for us."
"My sources in the Senate confirm that the Empire has established a new communications relay in the Jalindi system," Bail began to explain as he pulled up a holographic image of radio tower on the holotable, "It greatly expands their command and control throughout the surrounding sectors, and enabled them to respond much more quickly to your incursion."
"I hate to admit it, but it appears Gerrera's rumors were true," Dodonna sighed with disbelief.
"Hmm. How does Saw's ragtag group have better intel than we do?" Rex asked.
"Because Gerrera has absolutely no qualms about how he acquires it," Kallus answered as he had his arms crossed.
"Well, if he gets results…" Ezra began.
"We do not mistreat our prisoners," Mon Mothma reminded the Mandalorian.
"Now, the question is, what course of action do we take?" Dodonna inquired, "We can't allow this relay to hamper our missions."
"Perhaps there is another way," Kallus began as he walked next to Hera and Mon Mothma in front of the holotable, "If we could somehow tap into this relay, we could use it to monitor Imperial fleet movements and adjust our own operations to avoid them."
"Can it be done?" Mon Mothma asked as Hera.
"My crew and I have done plenty of jobs just like it," Hera answered.
"Are you confident your ship can get in and out undetected?" Dodonna asked her.
"We don't call it the Ghost for nothing," Hera confirmed
"You are authorized to proceed," Mon Mothma said as she turned Bail Organa's holocommunicator off.
"Wait. That's it?" Ezra said with disbelief as everyone but her and Mon Mothma began to leave the room, "What about Lothal?"
"Ezra, how's not the time," Hera told her as she, Zeb and Sabine stopped leaving the room.
"If not now, when?" Ezra asked, "We promised them support. Our attack failed, but they're still waiting. Ryder's counting on us."
"Lieutenant Commander Wren, let's you and I talk for a moment," Mon Mothma told Ezra as Hera and the others left the Mandalorian Jedi and the Senator, "I am sympathetic to the plight of their people, Ezra. Like Lothal and Mandalore, which due to the help of you and your sister started a civil war on the planet, my home planet of Chandrila is suffering at the hands of the Empire." Mon Mothma pressed a button on the holotable as she said this and a holographic image of a planet appeared on the holotable, "If we help these three worlds, what of Onderon, or Ryloth, or Montross?" She clicked the button again and thousands of planets popped up on the holotable's projector, "What of the thousands of other worlds who need us? Where do we start?"
"Yeah, but we already told Ryder we would send help," the Mandalorian reminded her, "If Thrawn hadn't found our base, we would've launched an attack."
"But, instead, when we amassed our forces, we were routed by Thrawn's starfleet and taught a valuable lesson, that we are not ready for open war," Mon Mothma added.
"Yeah? Well, some people say it's already begun," Ezra stated.
"Indeed they do," Mon Mothma said, agreeing with her, "This is a time of difficult choices, sometimes impossible ones."
"I understand. Thank you, Senator," Ezra told her as she realized what Mon Mothma meant and left the room.
Ezra began to approach her master as she saw him sitting on the ground with his legs folded in the distance and began to approach him as a white and green R4-series astromech droid followed her briefly.
"You're upset," Kanan told Ezra as he sensed her approaching him from behind, "What is it?"
"I just feel so helpless," she answered, "I thought being here would get me closer to helping Lothal and Mandalore. But now that I am, it seems farther away than ever."
"Sit," he told her before she sat next to him with her legs folded, "Find your center." She closed her eyes as Kanan sighed as he felt that there was something else that was bothering his Mandalorian padawan, "Something else?"
"When we were on Geonosis with Saw, we didn't always agree with how he did things, but it seems like he's the only one who doesn't care all about the politics," Ezra answered, "He juat fights."
"Ezra, it's not whether or not we fight, it's…" Kanan began to remind her.
"It's how we choose to fight that matters. I know Kanan," she finished for him, "Maybe we're choosing the wrong way."
Just then the white and green R4-series astromech projected a large image of Saw Gerrera, who now had a full head of an Afro and a full beard and began to address the members of the rebel alliance, "Members of the Alliance to restore the Republic…"
"Saw," Ezra muttered as she stood up turned around and saw the holographic image of the extremist Onderonian rebel as Kanan did the same.
"Your losses today stemmed from your leaders' cowardice, their unwillingness to take decisive action against the Empire. All across the galaxy, your people suffer, while the leaders of this…" Saw went on before he chuckled, "Rebellion refuse to act."
"Should I shut it down?" A rebel trooper asked Mon Mothma as she walked by them.
"No. I want to speak to him," she answered.
"Madam Senator, I'm honored," Saw told her.
"What is your business here?" She asked him.
"You ignored my warning about the Jalini relay and paid the price," Saw answered, "Now you have confirmation, yet still you refuse to destroy it."
"So long as our allies in the Senate have hope of a peaceful resolution to this conflict, I will not risk…" Mon Mothma began.
"If you continue to allow this war to be fought on the Empire's terms, not yours, you are going to lose," Saw said as he interrupted the Senator.
"I will not be lectured on military strategy by a man who has proved himself a criminal," Mon Mothma stated.
"The Empire considers both of us criminals," Saw replied before chuckling for a second, "At least I act like one."
"You target civilians, kill those who surrender, break every rule of engagement! If we degrade ourselves to the Empire's level, what will we become?" Mon Mothma said, snapping at the Onderonian rebel terrorist.
"There she is!" Saw exclaimed, "That's the leader the Rebellion needs! Where is that fire, that passion, when your people need it most?" Mon Mothma didn't say anything back at him, just stared at him, "I hope, Senator, after you've lost, and the Empire reigns over the galaxy unopposed, you will find some comfort in the knowledge that you fought according to the rules."
"That's enough," Mon Mothma told one of the rebel pilots, who began to approach the R4-series astromech unit who was projecting Saw's image.
"What are you afraid of, Senator? The truth?" Saw asked as the rebel pilot switched the astromech's projector off.
"Return to your duties," Mon Mothma ordered everyone which everyone did as they all walked away.
"The Imperial relay is situated in a field of stone towers on Jalindi. The Ghost will approach at a high altitude and Ezra, Sabine and chopper will rocket jump down onto the dish to install the repeater spike," Hera said as she and the other specters, including the twins stared at a holographic image of the radio dish on Jalindi from the entertainment center's holotable as the Ghost travelled through Hyperspace.
"When you're done, we'll swoop back in below the outpost's sensors to extract you," Kanan added.
"Any questions?" Hera asked them.
"Spiking it won't do anything to hurt the Empire. It'll just make it a little easier for us to sneak around them," Ezra stated.
"Yeah, that's really more of a comment than a question, Sis, but you do have a point," Sabine said, agreeing with her sister.
"You're not seeing the bigger picture," Hera said, turning away as she switched the holotable's projector off as she began to leave the room, "If we destroy the relay, the Empire will just build another one. This way, we can use it to stay one step ahead of them."
"Yeah, but…" Ezra began.
"It's not up for discussion, and we have our orders," Hera said, interrupting the Mandalorian Jedi before walking through the door out of the room.
"You all right?" Kanan asked Hera as he walked into the cockpit as she sat in the Ghost's pilot seat as the ship continued to travel through Hyperspace.
"Never better," she replied, sarcastically.
"I don't need to see you to know something's wrong," he remarked as he approached her, referring to the fact that he's blind but could only see some things through the Force.
"Ezra's right," she admitted, "This won't hurt the Empire. And after what they did to my squadron, that's all I want. To hurt them the way they keep hurting us. Go straight at them and blow that relay right off the map!"
"That's Gerrera talking, not you," he told her as he sat in the seat next to her, "You're doing the right thing."
"I'm not even sure I know what the right thing is anymore," she stated as an alarm in the ship went off as the Ghost jumped out of Hyperspace and took the controls as they began to approach a planet in the distance, "Coming up on Jalindi."
"Better scramble the Ghost's signature so they won't detect us," Kanan suggested as Hera did just that.
The Ghost flew through the atmosphere of Jalindi as Sabine opened up the Ghost's cargo hold door with her jetpack on her back while she held her helmet between her other arm and her side while Ezra approached her with her helmet to her side as well as she had her jetpack on her back as well as Chopper stood next to Ezra, grunting.
"Hey, I like wearing my jetpack, as all Mandalorians do when we have to," Ezra explained to Chopper.
"Just don't hit your jetpack's jet too early, or their sensors will pick us up," Sabine reminded her sister as she placed her helmet over her head.
"I know, Sis, but what if we hit them too late?" Ezra asked her as she placed her helmet over her head as well.
"Hey, I like abstract art. I just don't want to become it," Sabine answered before jumping out of the Ghost's cargo hold with Ezra following after as Chopper grunted in a disapprovingly tone before jumping out as well, following the twins through the atmosphere.
"Passing 2,000 meters! 1,800," Sabine said on the Ghost's comlink as Zeb stared at one of the computer monitors in the cockpit of the Ghost, showing the trajectory of the Mandalorians and Chopper.
"I don't like this. They're dropping too fast," Zeb told Kanan and Hera.
"Relax, Zeb. They have to keep their speed up until the last minute so they're not detected," Kanan reminded the Lasat as he walked past him and sat back in the seat next to Hera.
"Twelve hundred meters coming up on us real fast!" Sabine added on the comlink.
"Five hundred meters. Four," Sabine went on as she and Ezra along with Chopper got closer to the radio dish, "Get ready. Now!" With that, Sabine flipped around as she activated her jetpack's thruster as Ezra and Chopper did the same with their thrusters on their jetpack and rocket booster.
"We're still too fast!" Ezra cried as they flew down closer towards the radio dish, "We're gonna crash!"
The twins soon landed on the rim of the radio dish, causing a brief disruption in the radio dish's signal, which an officer inside the radio tower noticed for a second before shrugging it off.
"Grab onto something, Sis!" Sabine told her sister as Ezra slid past multiple smaller antennas and soon stopped as she grabbed onto one of the smaller antennas as Sabine began to slid past her.
"I got you!" Ezra said as she grabbed her sister's hand, causing her to gasp in relief and sighed as she laid on her back.
"Well, that could have been worse," Ezra told her before hearing Chopper grunting frantically as he slid down the rim of the radio dish at a very high speed and saw him slid past them as they dodged him as he grunted frustratedly before flying towards the main antenna, crashing into the antenna before falling backwards, this caused another disruption. "Chopper!" Ezra called as she and Sabine ran towards him and helped him up, "You okay, pal?" Chopper grunted as they helped him back onto his feet.
"He's complaining. He must be fine," Sabine stated before pressing a button on the side of her helmet, "Specter-5 to Ghost."
"We made it onto the dish in one piece," Sabine informed Hera from the Ghost's comm system.
"Copy that. Now get to work on that spike. We're on the clock here," Hera responded.
"Uh-oh. Picking up an incoming light cruiser. Headed for the relay," Zeb informed them as he noticed an Imperial Light Cruiser on the computer's monitor in front of him.
"Guys, you've got an Imperial ship headed in your direction," Hera said, contacting the Mandalorian twins on the radio dish.
"What was that about you said how this could be worse?" Sabine reminded her sister as the three of them rushed over to the other side of the antenna.
"If they see you, this mission is blown," Kanan told Ezra and Sabine on their helmet's comlinks.
"They didn't see us," Ezra replied as she pressed the button on the side of her helmet, "At least I don't think they did. We're good."
"Let's just do this fast and get out of here," Sabine told her as she opens one of the panels behind her, "Chopper, give me a hand." He rolled up the antenna as she said that and plugged his scomp link into the astromech port on the antenna as she clicks buttons on the panel, "Okay, isolate the secondary comm circuitry. Yeah. There, there. Hold it right there." He stopped rotating his scomp link as she said that. Installing the spike." She continued to click buttons on the panel as she began to install the spike into the relay and Chopper rotated his scomp link a bit again before stopping, "Got it! We're patched in."
"Jalindi outpost, this is Marauder requesting clearance to dock," they suddenly heard the voice of an Imperial officer say through the relay's main comm channel.
"What's going on?" Ezra asked her sister.
"We must have patched into the main comm circuit by mistake," Sabine answered as she clicked buttons on the panel, "We're intercepting all incoming transmissions."
"Jalindi outpost, your signal is garbled. Please repeat," the Imperial officer said.
"Chopper, run a bypass, connect that ship to the outpost commander now!" Sabine ordered Chopper.
"Chopper, give me comm control. I've got an idea," Ezra told Chopper who grunted a response.
"We don't have time. If someone doesn't respond to them, they're gonna know something's wrong," Sabine told the astromech.
"Uh, Marauder, this is Jalindi outpost. You weren't scheduled to arrive until next rotation. You're creating a lot of difficulties for us," Ezra began to speak into the dish on top of Chopper's dome as she pressed a button on her helmet to make it sound like a male was talking through her helmet with an Imperial accent, "Maybe come back tomorrow?"
"What difficulties? Who is this?" The Imperial officer asked.
"This is Commander Brom Titus," Ezra answered, lying through her teeth.
"Is this some kind of a joke?" The Imperial officer asked.
"I am Commander Brom Titus, and I demand an explanation immediately," the Imperial officer said as he walked forward on the Light Cruiser's bridge.
"Ugh, this is so typical of our luck," Ezra muttered as she switched the button on her helmet that she used to change her voice and accent off.
"The Empire's realigning the dish!" Sabine stated as the radio began to tilt, causing her to slide down from the antenna.
"Chopper, switch it back!" Ezra ordered as she slid down the dish with her sister while Chopper grunted a response.
"What is that?" Brom Titus asked as his Light Cruiser appeared in front of the radio dish as he saw two humanoid shapes slid down the dish and grabbed a pair of electrobinoculars as Ezra and Sabine stopped at the edge of the dish's rim after they nearly fell off. He placed the electrobinoculars over his eyes and immediately recognized one of them which was Ezra by her armor as she went to wave at him only for Sabine to stop her from doing so as Titus removed the electrobinoculars from his eyes. "It's her! That female Mando Jedi! Get me the real commander of that outpost, now!"
"Ghost, we've been spotted! We're gonna need a pickup, fast!" Sabine said, pressing a button on her helmet's comlink as she and Ezra got up from the rim of the dish.
"Copy that. On our way," Hera replied on her helmet's comlink.
"Here," Sabine said, throwing some thermal detonators to her sister.
"Detonators?" Ezra asked as she caught the detonators with her hands, "I guess we're changing the plan?"
"Ezra, do you want to salvage something from this mission or not?" Sabine asked her sister.
"Let's blow this thing," she answered and began to run across the dish when suddenly stormtroopers climbed up from hatches from within the dish, aiming their E-11 blaster rifles at the two Mandalorians.
"Way to go, Brom Titus!" Sabine said teasingly at her sister.
"Well, I didn't know!" Ezra said, defending her actions.
"Hera, we've got stormtroopers over here. We need that pickup now!" Sabine exclaimed through the Ghost's comm system as the ship began to fly towards the dish.
"Hold on! We're almost there!" Hera responded.
"You plant the detonators! I'll hold them off!" Ezra told Sabine as she ignited her lightsaber and began to deflect the blaster bolts from the stormtroopers with her saber before using one of her vambraces to pull one of them toward her with her Vambrace's grappling hook and slashed her saber across the stormtrooper, killing him instantly before deflecting more blaster bolts back at them, knocking one of them out as the blaster bolt flew towards one of the stormtrooper's helmets as Sabine began planting the thermal detonators across the rim of the dish before one of the stormtroopers went to fire at her, only for her to evade their blaster bolts and landed on her stomach.
"That's holding them off?!" Sabine said with disbelief in her voice.
"Chopper, level out the dish!" Ezra said, contacting Chopper with her helmet's comlink as she continued to deflect the blaster bolts with her saber. Chopper grunted a response as he rotated his scomp link which was still plugged into the astromech port, causing the dish to start to tilt back to where it was when they landed on the dish, causing everyone to fall as they began sliding across the dish.
"Sir, a small sip is approaching the relay at high speed," an Imperial officer reported to Titus on the Light Cruiser.
"Launch our new fighters to intercept and ready the gunners," Titus ordered, causing the Light Cruiser's turrets to rotate around.
"Sis, come on!" Sabine said as she grabbed Ezra by the hand after getting up.
As this was happening, the Ghost began to approach the dish, the Light Cruiser's turrets began to shoot at them before deploying TIE Defenders towards them.
"We've got two TIE Defenders coming in fast!" Zeb reported to Hera.
"Zeb, I need you in the turret," Hera told the Lasat before contacting Ezra and Sabine as she began to fly the Ghost away from the dish as Zeb began to head towards one of the Ghost's turrets, "Specter-5 and 6, I've got to break off."
"Hold tight. Be right back," Hera reassured the Mandalorian twins as they saw the TIE Defenders beginning to chase the Ghost before turning around as stormtroopers began firing at them again with Ezra reigniting her lightsaber and deflected their blaster bolts before running with her sister away from the stormtroopers.
"Chopper, tilt the dish!" Ezra exclaimed again into her helmet's comlink and Chopper grunted a response before completely tilting the dish in the opposite direction. As this happened, they began sliding across the dish again as a stormtrooper grabbed onto one of the smaller antennas while Sabine stopped sliding as she placed her feet at one of the dish's struts as she saw her sister continuing to slide down the dish on her stomach, yelling before Sabine grabbed her and she climbed up the strut as they watched and saw stormtroopers falling off the dish before screaming to their deaths.
"These aren't the normal TIEs. These are the nasty ones," Zeb told Hera from the rear turret as the Ghost flew between red rock pillars with the TIE Defenders firing at them and began firing at the TIEs.
"Just concentrate your fire. Their shields can't last forever," Hera reassured the Lasat as she piloted the Ghost.
"Yeah? Well, tell that to them," Zeb retorted.
"They may have the better fighters, but we've still got the better pilot," Hera told him.
"Would you like a chance to prove that?" Kanan asked her.
"Try me," she answered.
"Go down into the fog," he suggested.
"How's she gonna see in the fog?" Zeb asked him.
"She won't have to. I will," Kanan answered.
"Boy, I must really trust you," Hera stated.
"I know you do," he told her and with that the aghost swooped down into the fog with the TIE Defenders following, "Hera, on my mark, go left, then make a quick right." As he said that a red rock pillar was seen in front of them, "Now!" The Ghost then swooped away from the pillar, evading it with the TIEs following, "Level out. Turn to point three." She turned the Ghost's steering wheel-like device, evading even more pillars, "Climb to point five, now." She then flew the Ghost upwards before diving back into the fog after evading more pillars with one of the TIEs crashing into a pillar.
"One down," Zeb reported, "Whatever you're doing, keep it up."
"Sir, another ship just came out of Hyperspace," an Imperial officer reported to Titus on the Light Cruiser, "It's moving to attack position."
With that, a U-wing fighter flew through the atmosphere and began to fire upon the Light Cruiser with Sabine and Ezra watching from the radio dish.
"Who is that?" Sabine asked.
"I don't know, Sis, but they're my new favorites," Ezra told her.
"Deflectors are down!" An Imperial officer reported to Titus as the Light Cruiser has taken extensive damage due to the U-wing.
"We still have weapons. Bring us about. I want that ship," Titus stated.
As the Ghost continues to travel through the fog via Kanan guiding the ship, the last remaining TIE Defender began flying towards them, firing it's weapons at them, only for Zeb to fire the Ghost's turret at it as the TIE Defender flew into one of the pillars.
"Whoo! Got them! We're clear!" Zeb reported.
"Let's pick up the twins," Hera stated as she begun to fly the Ghost back towards the dish.
The U-wing fired it's weapons at the stormtroopers on the dish before pulling up before the dish with Sabine and Ezra running for it and as it's door opened, they were surprised to see Saw Gerrera standing at the U-wing's doorway with a proton bomb next to him.
"You rebels need a ride?" He asked the two Mandalorians.
"Saw?" They both said with surprise.
"Heads up," Saw said as he drops a proton bomb onto the dish followed by two more, "I wouldn't think too long. Those charges are on a real short fuse." Ezra and Sabine shrugged before Sabine activated her jetpack and began to fly towards the U-wing.
"Chopper, we're leaving. Let's go," Ezra said into her helmet's comlink and as she said that, Chopper flew away from the astromech port.
"Explosives. Run for it!" A stormtrooper that regained consciousness said as he sa the proton bombs in front of him.
"We're out. Go! Go! Go!" Saw told his U-wing's pilot as Ezra and Chopper landed inside the ship and began to fly away.
"Pursuit course. After them," Titus ordered as he saw the U-wing fleeing the area, only for the proton bombs from the radio dish to go off, causing an explosion destroying the relay and his Light Cruiser, killing all personnel on board, including him.
"Now, that is how you deal with the Empire," Saw told Sabine and Ezra as they held their helmets to their sides as they watched the relay blow up.
"Did they just…" Hera began as she saw the explosion of the relay dish in the Ghost as she neared the dish and went to contact the twins, "Ezra! Sabine! Are you there? Talk to me."
"Hera, we're okay," Ezra reassured Hera on the Ghost's comm system.
"Relax, Captain Syndulla. I've got them," Hera and Kanan suddenly heard Saw say on the comm system as they saw the U-wing in the distance fly away from the planet.
"Gerrera," Hera said with disdain as she began to follow the U-wing.
"Hold your position. I'm coming alongside to get my people," Hera informed Saw on his ship's comm system as he sat next to a Tognath named Erido in the cockpit and spoke to saw in his native language as a Star Destroyer jumped out of Hyperspace as the U-wing and Ghost left Jalindi's atmosphere with TIE fighters deploying from the Star Destroyer and began to intercept the rebel ships.
"Sorry, Captain. No time," Saw refused, "Don't worry. The Mandalorian twins will be fine with me. Besides, they might enjoy fighting with a real army for a change."
"Gerrera, return them to me at once," Hera demanded as Zeb sat in his seat behind Hera and Kanan.
"Unless, you two have any objections, we're going to leave," Saw said as he turned to Ezra and Sabine.
"What choice do we have?" Ezra answered with Sabine smiling as she said that.
"Get us out of here," Saw said as he turned to Erido and with that the U-wing jumped into Hyperspace.
"Where are they going?" Zeb asked as he, Hera and Kanan saw that the U-wing jumped into Hyperspace with Ezra and Sabine.
"I'm not worried about where they're going. I'm worried about who they're going with," Hera told him as the Ghost jumped into Hyperspace.
Please favorite and review. Would you like me to continue adding the Imperial scenes or not?
