"The words you're looking for are thank you," Saw told the twins as he climbed out of his seat next to Erido as the U-sing traveled through Hyperspace.

"We appreciate the save, Saw," Ezra told the Onderonian as she stood up.

"We turned the worst-case scenario into the best," Saw told her.

"Yeah, I wish Hera would see it that way," Ezra told him, "Technically, we just disobeyed orders by blowing up that relay."

"Following orders will only get you so far. Then you have to take control of your destiny," Saw told them.

"Yeah, like when we hit the Empire hard on Mandalore," Sabine said, agreeing with him.

"I heard about that," Saw told them, "That's why I need your help."

"You need our help?" Ezra said with disbelief.

"This is Faos Station," Saw began as he pulled up a holographic image of a space station, "I recently acquired intel on a secret Imperial cargo being loaded aboard a civilian freighter there."

"What cargo?" Sabine asked.

"Remember Geonosis? The Empire wiped out a whole population because they were building something. Something they've hidden away. I never stopped looking for it," Saw answered.

"What have you found?" Ezra asked him.

"Just rumors. Whispers," Saw answered, "But they all led me to that cargo ship."

"So what do you want from us?" Sabine asked him.

"You two and your droid are good at infiltrating Imperial bases. And I just saved your lives," Saw told them.

"So what you're saying is that we owe you one," Ezra surmised.

"You're choice. You can go back to rebel command and run Mon Mothma's errands, or you can help me do something that might actually matter," Saw stated.

"All right," Sabine said after she and her sister looked at each other for a quick second while Chopper grunted a protest.

"Sorry, Chopper. You're outvoted," Ezra told the astromech.

"We might make them into real Rebels yet," Saw told Erido who replied in his native language before laughing.


Soon the U-wing jumped out of Hyperspace and began to head towards the station that Saw mentioned earlier with a civilian freighter docking with it as Ezra and her sister stared at it from a window.

"Are you sure we're at the right place?" Sabine asked Saw with disbelief, "This looks like a civilian cargo facility. I don't see any signs of the Empire at all."

"That's what they want everyone to think. Hiding in plain sight," Saw told her before turning to Erido, "Take us in. Merchant platform." Erido replied in his native language as the U-wing began to hover above the merchant platform where a lot of droids were working.

"A lot of droids down there," Sabine observed before turning to Chopper as she held her Baobab E23 Airbrush in her hand, "Hey, Chopper, come here. You're gonna need a new paint job."


Soon the U-wing landed inside the freighter after landing on the platform with Saw walking out of the ship while Ezra and Sabine did the same as they wore their helmets as Chopper who was now painted yellow and black grunted as he stood in the ship's doorway.

"Oh, stop complaining," Sabine told him as she turned towards him, "I kind of like it better than the orange."

"Yeah, it looks cute on you," Ezra said, agreeing with her sister before Chopper activated his rocket booster as he hopped off of the U-wing, which then flew away as it departed from the landing platform.

"That's Freighter 2716," Saw said after they continued forward and walked through a doorway into a room as a cargo freighter arrived at the far side of the room before rushing over to a cargo container nearby, "And here's our way on board."

"Sneaking on board in a cargo container?" Ezra asked as Saw climbed on top of the cargo container before jumping onto the cargo container with her sister with their jetpacks and hopped into the cargo container with Sabine through a hatch on the cargo container, "We're familiar with this strategy."

Saw entered the hatch after the twins did before Chopper began to push the container with one of his back utility tools into the freighter.


As soon as the container entered the freighter, Sabine and Ezra flew out of the hatch with their jetpacks and landed outside of the container with Saw.

"The tracker is activated. Keep this channel open," Saw said as he contacted Erido with his comlink, "I'll transmit coordinates when we're ready for pickup."

With that the freighter jumped into Hyperspace and Erido replied in his native language as he followed the freighter into Hyperspace.

"Well, normal cargo hold. Nothing looks out of the ordinary," Sabine observed as she walked forward.

"You hear that?" Ezra asked Sabine and Saw as she heard a sound that sounded like someone singing as she removed her helmet, "Sounds like singing."

"I don't hear anything," Sabine answered as she removed her helmet off of her head as well.

"These containers are filled with high-quality construction compounds," Saw said as he picked up a datapad from the top of one of the containers he stood at before moving away from the containers towards the twins, "Materials used to build the Imperial navy."

"These materials could have come from Corellia or any other planet with shipyards," Sabine stated.

"Yeah, it's not exactly a secret cargo," Ezra said, agreeing with her sister.

"There are more holds to search," Saw told them and as he said that, both Mandalorians placed their helmet's back over their heads as they followed Saw into a corridor with Chopper following them, "Get back!" He added, warning them as he saw two stormtroopers nearby, around the corner before the stormtroopers walked down the corridor they were in.

"Imperial troops aboard a civilian freighter?" Sabine said with disbelief as she realized that Saw was probably right, "You might be on to something after all."

"They're guarding something," Saw said before they sneaked ahead across the corridor, "Your droid should check the cargo manifest."

"You heard him, Chop," Ezra told Chopper, who rolled over to an astromech port and inserted his scomp link into it and grunted a response, "There's an Imperial military shuttle in Hold 12. Okay, this ship is more than it seems."

"Find out where we're going," Saw ordered Chopper, who rotated his scomp link within the astromech port before turning his dome back towards them and grunted another response.

"Tonnis sector?" Sabine translated with disbelief and confusion, "That's just empty space out there. No settlements or stations."

"The perfect hiding place," Saw chuckled.

"Or just a rendezvous point," Ezra added when suddenly Chopper ejected his scomp link out of the astromech port and grunted yet another response.

"Uh, Saw, Sis, Chopper says Cargo Bay 17 is a restricted area," Sabine informed them.

"So that's where we go next," Saw announced and ran towards the door to Cargo bay 17 with the twins and Chopper, "Here it is. Cargo Bay 17."

"Careful, or you'll alert the whole ship," Ezra warned the Onderonian.

"You got a plan?" He asked the Mandalorian.

"I got a droid," she answered and he grunted a response.

With that, Chopper began banging on the door.

"What was that?" One of the stormtroopers guarding the door from inside the cargo bay suddenly asked as he approached the door and opened it and saw Chopper standing feet from the door and aimed his blaster rifle at Chopper, "Move along, droid." As he said that, Chopper shocked him with an electricity bolt from his spark projector, Chopper the. Began to roll away, "Whoa!"

"Blast that piece of junk!" One of the other two stormtroopers ordered.

"Scrap him!" Another one added only for him to be knocked to the ground by Saw.

"Huh?" One of the other two stormtroopers said with confusion as Sabine jumped out from hiding and hopped onto his back and began to punch him, "Hey!" Ezra then jumped down as well and began to fight the other one as the door sealed shut with the stormtroopers screaming but was muffled.

Soon the fighting stopped as the door opened back up with the twins pulling the stormtroopers that they knocked out through the door while Saw carried the one he knocked out over his shoulder.

"Keep watch, Chopper," Ezra ordered Chopped as they entered the cargo bay and he grunted a response as the door sealed shut.

"I think it's this one," Sabine said, grunting as she continued to drag the body of the stormtrooper through the cargo bay as they passed by a cargo container and let go of the body as she approached a panel for the container.

"Find out what they're hiding," Saw ordered as he let down the body of the stormtrooper he was carrying.

"Oh, no," Sabine muttered as soon as she opened the container and saw prisoners of all sorts of species including two humans, one was a male and the other was female, an Aqualish, Gotal, Ishi Tib, Ithorian, Snivvian and a Theelin.

"Prisoners," Ezra said with disgust in her voice.

"Who are you?" The Aqualish asked them in basic.

"It's okay. We're here to help," Sabine reassured them as she and Ezra took their helmets off and placed them to their sides.

"Your intel came through," Ezra told Saw as the prisoners left the cargo container, "We can free these people."

"My intel wasn't about prisoners. The Empire has prisoners all over the galaxy," Saw told her.

"We can still help them, Saw," Ezra told him as she and Sabine began to place the bodies of the stormtroopers inside the container where the prisoners were inside of.

"Why are you here?" Saw asked the prisoners as he approached them, "What do you know about the cargo aboard his vessel?"

"Nothing of any cargo, but I did overhear some troopers talking about the Jedha system," the Ishi Tib answered, "If there's any special cargo, it probably came from there."

"The Jedha system, huh?" Ezra repeated as she approached them with her helmet to her side, "Who are you?"

"Name's Mich Matt," the Ishi Tib answered, "Was a supervising tech on Coruscant's central power generator. Empire tried to hire me away for some secret project, but didn't want to leave my family. So they just took me."

"Power technician? Hmm," Saw muttered.

"Everyone here is a reactor mechanic or power specialist of some kind," Mich explained.

"Mmm, doesn't make any sense. The Empire wouldn't have all this security just to guard a few techs," Sabine stated as she approached them with her helmet to her side.

"I agree. There's something else here," Saw told them, "There must be."

"I believe you, Saw. But we've got to get these prisoners out of here," Ezra told him.

"Use that shuttle your droid found," Saw suggested.

"No, it'll be guarded," she protested, "We can't put the civilians in the line of fire."

"Okay, how about the escape pods?" Sabine suggested, "We can sabotage the Hyperdrive, and as soon as the freighter drops from Hyperspace, they can fly away."

Chopper then rushed into the cargo bay after he saw stormtroopers walking down the corridor to his corner and grunted as he entered the cargo bay.

"It's a patrol," Saw stated.

"Pretend you're still prisoners," Ezra told Mich and the other prisoners as he and the other prisoners reentered the cargo container.

"We are still prisoners!" One of the prisoners argued as Ezra and Sabine placed their helmets over their heads, and hid behind the cargo container with Ezra pulling her WESTAR-35 out from their holsters as the Theelin went to go back into the container and close the door.

"Freeze! Don't move," one of the two stormtroopers called out as they rushed into the cargo bay and pulled the door open just as he closed it, knocking the Theelin onto his back and aimed their blaster rifles at the prisoners, "Who let you out? Where are the guards who were stationed here?" As he said that the prisoners stood in front of the unconscious stormtroopers that Sabine and Ezra placed in the container earlier, "Huh?"

"Surprise!" Ezra said as she came out of hiding aiming her WESTAR-35s at the Stormtroopers.

"It's the rebels!" One of the Stormtroopers realized.

"Stop!" Sabine said as she came out of hiding at the other side of the container holding her WESTAR-35s at them as well.

"Got that right," Saw said from the top of the cargo container before firing stun blasts at both stormtroopers knocking them out before jumping back down.

"Saw, wait!" Sabine yelled at Saw as he rushed out of the room.

"Chop, get them to the escape pods. We'll take out the Hyperdrive," Ezra told Chopper before she and Sabine went to follow Saw, hopped pulled his arm out and grunted a response as he rolled into the corridor after Saw and both Ezra and Sabine ran across the other side of the corridor as Chopper guided the prisoners through the opposite direction of the corridor, while Saw pulled his arm in front of Ezra as she and Sabine ran towards it as two stormtroopers walked by in the corridor and hid on the walls of the corridor as the stormtroopers walked by and they continued onward only for Ezra to stop as she heard the singing sound again.

"Wait," Ezra told them as Saw and her sister went towards another doorway.

"Sis. Engine room is this way," Sabine told Ezra, referring to the door behind her.

"Do you hear that?" Ezra asked, "It's like a song. It's coming from in there."

"Can you get us in?" Saw asked Sabine.

"That's why I'm here, right?" Sabine answered as she rushed over to the door that her sister was talking about and began to tap buttons on the door's panel and within seconds the door opened and saw multiple Death troopers in the room.

"Huh?" They heard a scrambled voice from a Death trooper in front of them say as it turned around with Saw firing blaster bolts from his blaster pistol at the Death trooper in front of them, before the death trooper fell to the floor as Sabine threw smoke detonators at the death troopers in the center of the room as Ezra ignited her lightsaber.

"Look out!" One of the dark troopers exclaimed as smoke began to engulf them as they rushed toward the dark troopers.


Chopper grunted as this was happening as he led the Prisoners to the Escape pods room with everyone entering one of the escape pods.

"Thank you. You're a very kind little droid," the Ithorian told Chopper as he entered the escape pod with the others.


As the death troopers were trapped inside the smoke, they heard a blaster fire as one of them were killed and began to approach the figure that fired the blaster bolt as Sabine ran past them.

"Where'd they go," the leader of the death troopers who was female asked when she suddenly saw a lightsaber past by outside of the smoke and began to fire at the figure with the lightsaber when her troops behind her were taken out by Saw and heard this and turned around to see that tey were gone, "Fall back! Take cover!" She began to back away as she saw one of her troops get up, "What? 3-6, I said take cover!" Just as she said this Saw, who was holding the death troopers dead body began firing his blaster at them and soon fired at the mysterious cargo, causing electricity to flow through the cargo.

"The blocks have been compromised," the trooper next to the leader informed his commander.

"Cease fire! Fall back!" She ordered as Sabine stood up and fired her WESTAR-35s at one of the death troopers with the leader escaping the room.

"One of them got away!" Sabine announced.

"Forget him. We've found it," Saw said as the mysterious cargo began to defrost.

"Is that… No, it can't be," Ezra said as she removed her helmet as she recognized the mysterious cargo, a giant green crystal that is usually used for lightsabers but is enlarged by times ten.

"Yeah. It's a Kyber crystal," Sabine confirmed.

"That's what I heard singing, like the one in my lightsaber did when I found it," Ezra realized.

"These crystals store and amplify energy, so one this big is probably unstable," Sabine explained to Saw, "Put your blasters away."


"Captain, rebels led by Saw Gerrera have breached Hold 6 and taken possession of the cargo," the death trooper commander said, contacting her superior on the ship as she ran through one of the corridors, "Alert Director Krennic at Imperial Command."


"Saw Gerrera?" An Imperial officer said in the freighter's cockpit and turned to the other Imperial officers, "Do you think he means to hijack the cargo?"

"I will not let that happen," the death trooper replied on the comm system, "Send all security personnel to meet me at Hold 6. In the meantime, purge the escape pods. No one leaves this vessel."


Back inside the escape pod room, escape poods began to be ejected from the ship with Chopper watching and grunted frustratedly as he flew over to the escape pod containing the prisoners and pressed the buttons on the panel to open it back up.

"He wants us to get out!" The Ithorian said as he and the other prisoners exited the pod, "Back to the hold? I don't understand."

"Uh, just an observation, but this is not a very good rescue," Mich stated as they followed Chopper back to the hold where they found him and the other prisoners, Chopper pushed him with his foot. "I'm going."


"They're trying to harness the power of this thing," Saw stated as he stared at the Kyber crystal, "That's why they have the techs, to weaponize it!"

"We gotta stop this ship and get the prisoners out of here," Ezra reminded him.

"No!" Saw argued as he turned around towards her, "We need this cargo to reach its destination. We need to find out what the Empire's building."

"We can't take the chance the Empire will get this crystal back," Sabine argued.

"You're right about that too," Saw told her.

"You stay here and guard this thing," Ezra told the Onderonian, "We'll head to the engine room and stop the ship."

"We better hurry or the Empire's gonna find out what we're up to," Sabine told Ezra as they rushed out of the room with the Kyber crystal and began to head for the Engine room.

Ezra ignited her saber as soon as she and Sabine reached the door to the Engine room with Sabine hacking the panel to open the door and Ezra immediately slashed her saber against the rifles of the stormtroopers standing in front of the door before deactivating her saber and began to lift the stormtroopers up and then back down to the floor with the Force, knocking both stormtroopers out.

"Okay, there's the Hyperdrive override," Sabine said as she and Ezra rushed over to a computer in the Engine as they removed their helmets, "Prepping to drop the ship out of Hyperspace," Sabine added as she began to use the computer console, "Three. Two."

Ezra was then shot by a stun blast from Saw's blaster pistol, knocking her unconscious before he walked towards Sabine.

"Saw, no!" Sabine said, pleading with the Onderonian, backing away before he fired a stun blast at her as well, knocking her out.

"I've come too far to give up the quest. I must learn the secrets of my enemy. And today, I will," Saw declared as Sabine fell onto the floor unconscious.


Soon the death trooper ran through one of the corridors with stormtroopers and placed a thermal detonator on a door and soon it electrocuted the door as it blew open with the stormtroopers rushing into the room only to see that the Kyber crystal had vanished.

"I've retaken Hold 6, Captain. The cargo is missing," the death trooper said, contacting the Imperial officer as a hologram of the Imperial officer appeared on her communicator on her wrist.

"Gone?" He repeated with disbelief and horror, "Commander, if something happens to that crystal…"

"It's both our heads," she finished for him, "Where are the rebels?"

"I don't know. But we've lost contact with the engine room," he answered and with that she and the other stormtroopers rushed out of the room.


"We're going to the Tonnis sector," Sabine heard Saw say into his comlink as she regained consciousness and saw the Kyber crystal in the center of the room as she was handcuffed, "Dock at the hatch near the starboard engines. I'll meet you."

"Ezra… Sis… Wake up," Sabine groaned, trying to wake her sister up as she sat up, "You'd friend turned on us."

"Saw, you shot me!" Ezra growled at Saw with anger.

"Let's be more precise. I stunned you," he said, correcting the Mandalorian Jedi.

"You betrayed us!" She added.

"Geonosis was only the beginning. The materials, the power technician, the crystal, it all adds up to what the Empire's building. We have to ride this ship to the end, to those empty coordinates in the Tonnis sector. I know that's where we'll find this… This super weapon!" Saw explained.

"There's no guarantee anything will be there. If it even exists," Sabine told him as she and Ezra stood up, "But I guarantee you the Empire will have reinforcements waiting."

"I thought we were on the same side," Ezra told Saw with confusion.

"The difference between us, Ezra, is this. I will do whatever is required to be the victor," Saw told her.

"Why did you bring the crystal in here, Saw?" She asked him.

"It's like you said. We can't allow it to remain in the Empire's hands," Saw explained as he approached the Crystal's guard rail when an alarm suddenly went off, "Coming out of Hyperspace." He then rushed over to the computer console for the Hyperdrive as both Mandalorians followed him, "This is it. We're here."

"I hope this was worth it," Ezra muttered to herself as the ship jumped out of Hyperspace with a Star Destroyer in a distance from the freighter.

"It's only a Star Destroyer. The Empire's big secret isn't here," Sabine told him.

"It has to be here. It has to be," Saw said with disbelief.


"The freighter Captain confirms they have rebels trapped on board," an Imperial officer said as he approached Slavin on the Star Destroyer's bridge.

"Prepare a boarding party," Slavin replied.

"Sir! Rebel vessel approaching," an Imperial officer below him reported as Saw's U-wing jumped out of Hyperspace and the Star Destroyer began to open fire on the U-wing and the U-wing evaded the turbolaser fire as it flew towards the freighter.

"Cease fire! We can't risk hitting the freighter with the crystal on board," Slavin ordered as the U-wing docked with the freighter as it landed on the side of the freighter.


"My ride's here," Saw told the twins as his comlink beeped, "Are you coming?"

"And leave the prisoners?" Ezra said with disbelief.

"This is war, Ezra," Saw stated.

"What about doing what's right? Isn't that what this war is about?" Ezra asked him.

"What is right? Let me ask you this. What would you do to save Lothal or Mandalore?" Saw countered, "It's too late for me. My world is gone. I lost everything. And once you do, you can see things clearly, and you understand what's at stake."

"But we do still have something, Saw," Ezra pleaded, "The people on this ship. I just want to help them. They need us!"

"That's your choice, Ezra. But I suggest you hurry. Because this is what I'm willing to do," Saw said as he ignited her lightsaber.

"What are you doing?" Sabine asked as she saw the Onderonian igniting her sister's lightsaber.

"You said these crystals can become unstable," Saw began as it stabbed the lightsaber into the freighter's engine, causing smoke to erupt from the engine and the rail guarding the crystal began to spark with electricity and fired a blaster bolt at the rail with his blaster pistol.

"You're turning it into a bomb?" Ezra realized as the crystal began to become unstable with a wave of energy erupting from it and shot towards the door.

"I won't let the Empire use it, so you better get off this ship," Saw explained to her as the death and stormtroopers entered the room.

"Hands up," one of the stormtroopers ordered only for the crystal to blast a wave of electrical energy at two of the stormtroopers.

"Saw! Let us out of here!" Sabine pleaded before he removed their stuncuffs.

"Last chance, Ezra," Saw told the Mandalorian Jedi.

"You fight your war. We'll fight ours," she answered.

"Farewell, friend," he told her as he handed her back her lightsaber before leaving the room, "I hope we meet again."

"Abandon ship immediately!" The death trooper commander ordered as she and the remaining stormtroopers began to retreat.

"Can you stop this?" Ezra asked her sister, referring to the imploding Kyber crystal.

"No! It'll just keep absorbing power until it discharges," Sabine answered as Ezra ignited her saber to block a wave of electrical energy from the crystal, "And trust me, we don't want to be anywhere close when that happens, which won't be long."

"Then we better hurry!" Ezra said as she followed Sabine out of the room after Sabine grabbed both of their helmets and soon Saw entered the U-wing with Erido speaking to him in his native language before the ship departed from the freighter.


"Sir, the rebel craft is leaving, but scans indicate the crystal is not on board," the officer below Slavin reported to Slavin.

"Then it's still on board the transport," Slavin replied, "Move us in closer. We need to secure it."


"Chopper, are you there?" Ezra spoke into her comlink as she and Sabine ran through one of the corridor's with their helmet's back over their heads.


"Chopper! Do you read?!" Ezra exclaimed from Chopper's built in comlink as he stood in the cargo bay with the prisoners, Chopper grunted a response as he turned away from them.


"Never mind that. Call Hera and tell her we're in the Tonnis sector," Ezra responded.


Chopper then grunted as he extended his dome's antenna.


"Then jam all communications and get the prisoners to that shuttle," she added and Chopper grunted a response, "Don't worry about the guards! Just meet us there!"


Chopper grunted a response before rolling back towards the prisoners, grunting.

"Now where are we going?" Mich asked and soon they reached the hold with the Imperial shuttle and hid behind containers.

"Yes, Commander. The shuttle is prepped and awaiting your arrival," one of the two stormtroopers guarding the shuttle said answering a call from the death trooper commander.

"Think I'll go back to the container now," Mich told Chopper, causing the astromech to grab his face and grunted in his face before rolling towards the stormtroopers.

"He wants us to follow him," the Ithorian said

"This droid is cross-wired." Mich stated.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" One of the stormtroopers asked Chopper as he approached them, Chopper grunted a response as he approached the shuttle's ramp, "Stop right there."

"Apologies, sir, but, this droid was ordered to evacuate us," Mich said, interrupting the stormtrooper as he and the other prisoners came out of hiding.

"We have our orders," the stormtrooper told him as they began to approach the prisoners and aimed his blaster rifle at them, "This ship is being held for the commander."

Just then he was shocked in the back by Chopper's spark projector, knocking him out before Chopper made a roaring and whooping sound as he flew into the air with his rocket booster and began to slap him in the helmet with his arms and grunted as he landed on the floor in a victory tone as the prisoners began to board the shuttle.


The freighter began to shake as stormtrooper turned behind them and saw both Ezra and Sabine and began to fire upon them and hid in the corners as they took their WESTAR-35s out.


Soon the death trooper commander and her stormtroopers entered the hold with the shuttle, Chopper noticed this and grunted with fear.

"It's the prisoners!" The death trooper commander stated as she saw the prisoners on her shuttle, "They're trying to commandeer the shuttle!" She then rushed forward just as Sabine and Ezra rushed into the hold and the stormtroopers began to fire upon them as they saw Sabine behind them who then hid behind a container.

As the death trooper began to walk up the shuttle, Ezra Force Jumped onto the top of the container as she ignited her saber as the stormtroopers as her and began to fire their blaster rifles at her only for Ezra to block the blaster bolts with her lightsaber and Force Pushed a few crates towards them, knocking them backwards as the death trooper started to fire her blaster rifle at the Mandalorian only for Ezra to jump down towards her and kicked her backwards and deactivated her saber as Sabine ran up the shuttle's ramp and hopped onto the ramp and entered the shuttle as the ramp shut itself and began to takeoff with the death trooper firing her blaster rifle at it only to miss as the shuttle left the freighter.


"Scans are picking up a massive energy reading," Ezra told Sabine who piloted the shuttle as they had their helmets off as two Imperial patrol transports began to follow the shuttle.


"Hang on!" Sabine said as she swooped the shuttle around.

"What are you doing?" Ezra asked her sister with confusion.

"No time for Hyperspace. I'm putting that Star Destroyer between us and that crystal," Sabine explained as she flew the shuttle over the bridge of Slavin's Star Destroyer.


"Wasn't that the Commander?" Slavin asked with confusion, "Where is she going?"

"Sir, we're getting a large energy reading," one of the Imperial officers below him reported, "Something is going critical mass!"

"Oh, no," Slavin muttered as an alarm went off and within seconds of saying that the crystal exploded destroying both the freighter and Slavin's Star Destroyer.


"Full power to the shields! Hang on!" Sabine said as she activated the shuttle's shields just as a shockwave energy from the crystal flew towards the shuttle, disabling the shuttle's engines with Chopper grunting from behind her and remarked sarcastically, "Great. The engines are fried. We're not going anywhere anytime soon." Ezra sighed as she slumped back in her seat when suddenly the Ghost jumped out of Hyperspace in front of them.

"Or maybe we are," Ezra corrected her.


"What did they do now?" Hera asked as she and the others saw the destroyed Star Destroyer.

"Those two can't go anywhere without blowing something up," Zeb remarked, "They're both Mandalorians after all." They then saw Ezra waving at them from the shuttle while her sister just face palmed herself in embarrassment.


"As soon as we can course a plot, we'll take you back to your home planets," Hera told Mich and the other prisoners as they stood in the Ghost's cargo hold as tje ship traveled through Hyperspace.

"Actually, we've all decided to enlist in your cause," Mich told her, "We figured if the Empire valued our skills, they'd be better put to work serving you and the Rebellion."

"I'm sure Command will be grateful for your commitment. Thank you," Hera told Mich.

"I don't like the sound of this Kyber crystal," Kanan told Sabine and Ezra as they stood on the catwalk above, "It's the second one we prevented the Empire from getting their hands on."

"Saw seemed convinced that they're trying to weaponize it somehow," Sabine told him, "Is that even possible?"

"Hmm… At that scale? I don't know," he answered.

"What if Saw's right?" Ezra asked, "And the Empire is already on the verge of winning a war most of the Rebel Alliance doesn't believe has already begun?" No one answered the question and began to wonder if she was probably correct.
