We are sorry for the long wait. We did plan to update more often as we are over a 100 pages ahead of what you are reading. But suddenly ideas opened and we had to edit a lot of the work. We hope you are okay with that. Anyway the crew seems to be in really hot water, last time things did not look too good. Let us hope it don't get worse.

At the base, Sato was waiting for the crew to alert someone of their return to the base with the Bridger couple. Sato did not leave the control center as he worried for his friends safety

Sato then saw Rex enter the room. For the last hour or so he had been plagued by an uneasy feeling, it was hard to describe but it was gnawing feeling that made him uneasy.

"Any word?" Rex asked as he took a seat next to the Commander.

Sato shook his head. "It has been a few hours since their last contact. I don't like them going this long without contact us."

Rex shrugged his shoulders, "They might be hiding or laying low until the heat dies down. These missions don't always take a day."

Sato sighed as he admitted, "I know, but Hera is supposed to be on the ship. She should at the very least letting us in on how thing's going?"

"What is she going to say? 'hi, am still waiting for the rest of the crew to come back'. Hera is not the one to bore people with useless detail."

"But she is the one who would report when asked to." Sato said as he began pushing in buttons.

"You shouldn't contact them. If something is going on,-"

I am communicating them via a silent alarm. It lets the ship know that I wish to talk to them. the button lights up and they can ignore it if they are doing something."

As Sato sent the alert to the Ghost, a message displayed on his screen.

"Message failed" Sato repeated as his stomach became nodded with anxiety. The uneasy feeling expanded and the notion that something was wrong started to float through him. When he turned to Rex, he saw the soldier too looked rather concerned.

"Okay, maybe we can begin to worry about them a bit." Rex admitted.

Sato then tried to locate the ship's coordinate to see if it had landed somewhere. But Sato's blood pressure only increased more when the screen in front of him read "Cannot locate ship." But then another message alert showed, "Warning".

Sato and Rex eyes widened, this showed for sure that the crew was indeed trouble. This was not good, he had known there would be big risk of sending the crew and Ezra had even convinced them to let him tag along. The Ghost crew were some of the most hunted people in the galaxy and if the Empire had gotten them… Sato dared not think of that. Sato could not bare to think of what Ezra would be going through if the Empire had him.

"I don't understand? If they cant be located, how can they sent us a message?" Rex questioned if this could be a trap.

"The ship is sending the warning to one location the base, but because the ship is moving, it means the ship can alert us but…"

We cannot go and find them." Rex revealed to the room.

Sato then got the Comm out and ordered "Attention base, we have a code green scenario. we need all hands to come to the communication center!" With that Sato began to dwell on what could of happened to his crew, his nephew! What could of gone wrong to cause the ship to give off a warning?

"Get the Bridger's and load them for transport. We are already late for our arrival. Lord Vader don't look mildly at people being late" the Grand Inquisitor barked to the The Seventh Sister, Fifth Brother and Kallus.

Both Ahsoka and Kanan got pale when it was mentioned that they were going to see Darth Vader, they could not go up against a Sith, no way they could win.

Ezra froze of the mention of his parents as the two imperials left.

"Where are they?!" Ezra cried out.

"If you had wanted to see them, then you should of joined me than fought against me," the Grand Inquisitor sneered.

Ezra was able to summon what little courage he had as he responded 'I would not kill Kanan, deal with it!" Ezra cried over the collar that had activated; making the crew mates wince at what pain would be inflicted on him for saying such fighting words. Kanan knew he had to act fast to distract and hopefully he could support Ezra a little bit for what he was about to say.

"Ezra is not a killer. he has something you will never have; a heart." Kanan spoke up.

The Grand Inquisitor glared at Kanan and suddenly his electric collar sparked to life making Kanan scream. The Grand Inquisitor lifted his arm to hit Ezra and Ezra tried to curl together.

"LEAVE MY CHILD ALONE!" a woman's voice cut through the courtyard.

Ezra peeked up and opened his mouth trying to form the word.

"Mom, Dad?" Ezra asked in a weak voice, like if he spoke any louder, the image of his parents would fade away.

The crew turned around and looked at a woman, that was far to thin, held in binders accompanied by a man who had every inch of his face covered in bruises. Both the man and the woman was fighting hard to get to Ezra but the troopers, Kallus and Seventh Sister held them back. The crew recognized both of them from Ezra's picture, all though the similar features made it unnecessary to rely on the picture. There was no doubt that these was Ezra's parents which was being brought into the courtyard by Kallus and Seventh Sister.

"I want to see them" Ezra cried trying to get to them.

"You already have but I might let you talk to them if you behave. Now come on" the Grand Inquisitor snarred.

The Inquisitor grabbed Ezra be the chain before draggin Ezra to the shuttle with the crying child following unwilling after. Kallus then had two stormtroopers to grab Mira and Ephraim to follow him into the shuttle while both of them screamed in protest. The Seventh Sister then looked at the Fifth Brother.

"Take the crew, I will handle the jedi" the Seventh Sister.

"You are not my boss" the Fifth Brother said.

"No but you know the Grand Inquisitor like to side with me so do it" the Fifth Brother.

The Fifth Brother rolled his eyes as he got out his saber and lit it in front of the remaining crew. The man signaled for a couple of troopers to get the bound crewmates to their feet. Kanan was worried, he did not want to be 'handled' by either of them but he was appealed far more by Seventh Sister than Fifth Brother. Fifth Brother was brutal but predictable while Seventh Sister was sadist of the worst kind she thrived on pain.

"Move!" The Fifth Brother ordered.

The crew gave the monster a dark glare before they moved towards the shuttle. Sabine looked back at them with worries and he tried to signal to her to turn her head. Kanan knew they would not want to have contact with each other and if Sabine was seen she would be hit. Yet he could not tell her or he would draw attention to her but it was to late. The Fifth Brother had seen it and smacked her across the face and she cried out in pain.

"Sabine" several voices cried out making Kanan worry more.

The Fifth Brother seemed irritated and had the troopers push Sabine, Hera and Zeb forward. As the Fifth brother left with the other's, Seventh Sister smiled sinisterly and Kanan and Ahsoka. Kanan knew what that meant, Seventh Sister had something in store for them and that meant pain.

"So nice to see you again Kanan, or Caleb, or whatever you go by. It has been some time since you and I talked" the Seventh Sister said sinister.

Kanan did not like how his past had being addressed in such a manner, it hurt being reminded of his failure, of his pain.

Kanan then cringed as she looked at the woman's face "It was a good thing when I did not have to look at you. The day I got away from all three of you was the best day I had in a month. How hard were you punished when I got away?"

Seventh Sister looked blankly at Kanan as she pressed a remote, only this time, Ahsoka cringed to the ground in shocking pain.

Kanan looked at her he did not wish for Ahsoka to experience this level of pain.

Seventh Sister gave him a wicked smile, "The best way to get to your enemy, is to hurt those around them."

Like The Fifth Brother before her, Seventh too ordered two troopers over to raise the Jedi to his feet to move to the the shuttle. . Kanan had problem raising up because the pain in his shoulder, hand and fingers from the times Fifth Brother had beaten him. Not to mention his body was twitching once in a while because of the electricity had started to take its toll. Ahsoka seemed to struggle as well after the recent shock but he could not help her. As the two was forced to stand up the Seventh Sister ordered two chains she would use to secure them, this would be fun. While she was occupied Kanan leaned to Ahsoka and whispered.

"Be careful of her, she is insane and love to torture no matter what. Also make sure to do what they want, they see it as an act of defiance if we don't no matter the reason" Kanan warned her.

Ahsoka nodded and soon both of them was forced forward as the Seventh Sister got the chains. Even though Kanan did his best to hurry, he was struggling to keep up but he remember how they treated him if he was to slow. It scared Kanan how fast his mind rolled back into the mindset from last imprisonment.

Kanan knew things could get much worse with the Inquisitor's in charge and right now the physical pain was not as bad as the mental one. The reminder of how he had failed his master and the fact that everyone knew, it ripped in a wound that had never healed. Sabine had offered her sympathy and Zeb ordered the Grand Inquisitor to leave him alone. Yet why bother? He had failed his master and now they knew, he had not intended for them to know of his biggest failure. A slap made him look up.

Seventh Sisters again gave a sinister smile, "Don't worry, this ride will be quite entertaining."

The two force user's looked at the woman with anger, knowing very well what Seventh Sister meant with entertaining.

When Ahsoka and Kanan got onboard they saw how the shuttle was stuffed with their comrades and troops. To their left they had Zeb, Sabine and Hera all in binder with the Fifth Brother standing nearby looking at them. Across them was Ezra's parents; Mira and Ephraim Bridger sitting in binders with Kallus keeping a close eye on them. What worried Kanan was that Ezra or the Grand Inquisitor was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly a slap was heard followed by a cry and Kanan recognized painfully the cry as coming from his padawan. It made him realize Ezra was forced to sit up front with the Grand Inquisitor.

"I told you to sit still" the Grand Inquisitor sneered followed by another slap.

The idea of Ezra being up there alone with that monster made his skin crawl, but there was nothing he could do about it; and that made the man's stomach turn. Kanan had a responsibility to keep his crew safe and he had failed, just like he had failed Depa when she needed him the most. Suddenly Kanan felt a blaster hit his back making him fall to the ground along with Ahsoka before they were grabbed by their necks and pressed to their knees. The Seventh Sister came and grabbed his cuffs and attached a chain which she then latched to a ring in the floor. His shoulder, wrist and hand exploded in pain as his cuff was dragged close to the ground and he could not withhold a cry of pain over it. The chain forced Kanan to have his hands just a few centimeters above the ground forcing him to remain sitting as he could not raise due to the chain. All of his arm was hurting over the forced position that was hurting his many broken bones. Of course a mad woman like the Seventh Sister would do such a thing and Ahsoka soon got the same treatment.

SWR

As Hera sat in the middle, she first looked at Ahsoka and Kanan was forced to the ground and chained and Kanan cried out making her heart ach. It was no doubt because his shoulder, wrist and hand which had been so brutally assaulted by the Fifth Brother and Grand Inquisitor, how could they? Hera moved her stared and looked at the pair across she couldn't help but see the people that were Ezra's parents. The woman by the name Mira was sitting crying with the man Ephraim. Hera was saddened that this was how the woman was reunited with her son. Hera was hoping for the reunion between child and parent to end up much happier. It hurt Hera to know that all this woman wanted was to hold her son.

Hera had to ask her, "Hey," Hera spoke up to the woman's attention. It seemed to work for the women looked up at Hera with teary eyes, "Are you-,"

Suddenly Hera felt someone put their hand on her head and force her to bend forward as a hard subject hit her right between her lekku. Pain exploded and stars started to dance in front of her eyes.

"Hera!" she heard Zeb and Sabine call with her in worries but the pain made it hard to focus.

"No talking!" someone was shouting but she did not know who.

Slowly her sight returned and the first thing she saw was Sabine and Zeb looking at her worried. Sabine had a red mark from where the Fifth Brother had hit her and she knew a burising would be forming soon. Hera realised it had happened when she had looked at Kanan. Where they not even allowed to look at each other without being hit for it? Those bastards clearly did not want to make an escape attempt.

Hera slowly looked to her right and saw that Kanan and Ahsoka looked worried at her from were they were sitting. Kanan looked like he was trying to raise but the chain did not allow it and his pained expression was not just from her being hit but also physical. The differences in how they were treated was startling. It was not fair that they were treated so much worse than the rest of them. Hera then looked at Zeb and Sabine before she looked to her left seeing a stormtrooper raising his blaster and she realised what had happened. Hera glared at the man with frustration, angry that she couldn't even make sure that the couple they were supposed to rescue was okay.

Just as Hera started to feel the pain lift she heard a slap followed by small cry from a child and she froze. There was no doubt about it, it was the unmistakable sound of a child being hit, her child being hit by the monster called the Grand Inquisitor.

"I said answer me" Hera could hear the Grand Inquisitor snap followed by another slap.

That made the woman across her start crying hysterically while the man held her as he sheed a few tears as well. There was no doubt about it, these was Ezra's parents. Hera grieved over the parents situation as well as theirs, it was not fair least of all to Ezra that was now being beaten why the flew at the sound of things.

After seeing how the Inquisitor had tried to hit Ezra with a chain she had for the first time really start understanding the full extent of the torture the Inquisitor's had put Kanan through. No wonder Ezra had been having nightmares about being with those monsters.

SWR

At the end of the shuttle, Kanan couldn't help but wonder how they could of let this happen to themselves, to Ezra.

Ahsoka seemed to know what Kanan was thinking, "Hey," she spoke to him in a whisper, "It will be okay. we're rebels, we find ways to rebel out of this."

For a little moment, this cheered Kanan up but he was still surprised she cared about him. How could she when she knew what a coward he was? Alas, the seventh sister came towards them.

The nasty woman looked back to see her fellow Inquisitors distracted before she eyes the two force user's with eager and vengeful glare. Kanan had seen that glare before and he knew it meant at least one of them would end up in pain.

"Oh it has been long time since I last had fun with you" Seventh Sister said.

"You have a wicked sense of what fun is" Kanan spat at her.

Seventh Sister snarred before she smiled coldly.

"You always were cute when you were mad" the Seventh Sister said.

"I have told you. I am not into crazy anymore" Kanan said.

"Then there is just the fun part left" the Seventh Sister.

Suddenly Kanan felt something slam into his mental walls and he realised that the Seventh Sister tried to attack him mentally through the force. It was far different from when the Grand Inquisitor did it. The Grand Inquisitor would simply slam against his walls while Seventh Sister managed to find smaller cracks and widen them. Kana felt his mind being invaded. like the door to his thoughts were being pried open as his mental walls shattered. The collar did not allow him to use the force in any form or way and the torture from trying to stay silent about where Ezra was had taken its toll on him.

Seventh Sister smiled wickedly, "So that is why you 'don't do crazy'."

Kanan cringed at what the sister saw. Kanan knew Hera would be hearing about it at the earliest opportunity the Seventh Sister could gloat about it to it. Kanan cringe at how he had failed at protecting her by not letting Seventh Sister cut into his mind. Kanan's heart ached over once again failing his crew and his poor padawan. Ahsoka must have noticed this as she tried to give him a small smile.

Seventh Sister chuckled, "You love her? that is so pathetic. You could do so much better."

This made Kann's blood boil, hearing such a witch say that about Hera.

"Lets see how far a witch can go," The Seventh Sister then pried more into Kanan's mind. Kanan brain felt like it was splitting, like to would snap in half any second. Suddenly a third party was joining in and Kanan withdrew scared to be attacked further only to recognize the being as Ahsoka. Ahsoka had joined the fight and attacked Seventh Sister as she had focused on him. Suddenly he felt the pressure ease and saw the Seventh Sister sitting on the floor groaning trying to massage her temples and he looked at Ahsoka who had a small smile but also seemed to be in so agony.

Kanan realised that the collar might not suppress Ahsoka's force ability completely but it still shock her if she used the force. One could hope she could use that to escape and also help her protect herself and the crew. Kanan doubted she could protect him all that much, the Grand Inquisitor had a personal interest in him and he was scheduled for a meeting with Vader which he had no desire to participate in but for all he knew Vader could be on the Star Destroyer ready to meet him. Even so he sent her a grateful smile only to hear a angry voice running through the shuttle.

"JARRUS!"

SWR

At the front of the cargo hold, the Inquisitor looked down at the sniveling boy. The boy's blue eye's was filled with fears and tears, no doubt as a result of the beatings he had given the boy and fear of more to come. The Inquisitor viewed it as an improvement as fear was needed for the dark side. Yet it was only the start, right now he intended to get the boy turned and he might as well start now.

"You are afraid to be back with me boy and for good reason. I am going to punish you and your pathetic jedi friend as well as the Ghost crew once I am done with Jarrus" the Grand Inquisitor taunted.

The boy looked at him with tears in his eyes.

"No please don't hurt them" Ezra sobbed.

"You sound like your father, he begged me the same way you just did" the Inquisitor said.

Ezra looked up at the Grand Inquisitor with surprise and fear.

"Yes I visited him when he was arrested he kept begging. Yet later he stopped and he started to tell such interesting things about you" the Inquisitor continued.

"No my father would never tell you about me" Ezra defied him.

"Never you say? So he would never tell me how your mother gave you a stuffed loth cat?" the Inquisitor said.

"No …. how … no, no he wouldn't" Ezra sobbed.

"No…? He told me how you three went up to old communication towers to watch the view of the city" the Inquisitor continued and grinned.

"NO, dad how could you" Ezra said and the Inquisitor could feel the anger from the boy.

"Oh he did he even told me they found out your were force sensitive when you levitated your toys into the air as a baby" the Inquisitor pressed on.

"No, no, no, no!" Ezra cried and his anger spill over.

The Inquisitor looked while some of the instruments in the cockpit shatter. Finally the boy was showing progress. Anger was building up but then the boy looked towards the end of the shuttle where the jedi was held.

"Kaanan don't want this" the boy mumbled and slowly he let go of his fears. No how was this happening? Then the boy looked at him.

"Kanan doesn't want me to think like that, I won't" Ezra said.

The Inquisitor felt anger flare over this but knew he should keep it under control and instead decided to punish him for it.

"How pathetic." The man said with such a monotone as he turned on the boy's collar. Ezra shrieked out in pain until the horrible sensation stopped.

"Remember," The Inquisitor reminded the child as he twitched, "crying shows signs of pain. Pain must be held within so to not let the enemy get the upper-hand. Isn't that right boy."

The Pau'n though got no answer. as he looked down, he saw the boy look away from the man.

This did not settle well for the Inquisitor as he grabbed the child by his hair.

"What did I-," The Inquisitor then froze, in his hand was the child's hair, but there was more. As he opened his hand he saw to his absolute disgust a beaded braid. A Padawan braid. One with three colors, two colors was what padawans started with which meant the boy had achieved a skill in only a half year. He too had trained the boy in a half year and it had never amounted to anything, how did that pathetic man do it?

Another thought came up. Jarrus had dared to accept the boy (his apprentice) as a padawan. That jedi gav his apprentice a braid, something you only gave when a master accepted a youngling as a padawan after they had pledged themselves to the jedi order. The Grand Inquisitor felt his blood boil with anger, how dare that weakling try and train his apprentice. The boy was shaking in fear as he knew his braid had been discovered; and the boy should be. How dared the boy to seek another master.

Suddenly there was ripples in the force and the Grand Inquisitor dived into the force and felt how the Seventh Sister attacked Kanan. It frustrated him that she was stupid enough to believe he would not discover it. Then he felt Ahsoka Tano join in and he knew he had to stop it. His former student apparently did not realise that harming Tano would resolve in their master having their heads on a plate. While he was at it he would also punish Jarrus. Anger flared up once more as he felt the braid in his hand. The Grand Inquisitor gave it yank but it was done properly and did not come off and only resulted in the boy crying out. The Grand Inquisitor grabbed the boy by the braid and started dragging him along.

"JARRUS!" the Grand Inquisitor shouted.

SWR

Ahsoka heard the scream and new that Kanan was in trouble and it frustrated her that she could not do anything but sit next to him chained like she was some kind of loth wolf. Her body was aching from the new shock the collar had given her when she had aided Kanan by using what little access to the force she had. It had been painful but she could not sit ill by while her friend were being attacked by a maniac. The Grand Inquisitor emerged for the first time since they had been forced aboard, he looked furious. The Grand Inquisitor came towards them while dragging Ezra by the hair. How could the Grand Inquisitor justify treating Ezra like that? The poor boy had several marks on his face that could only have gotten there by the Grand Inquisitor hitting him several times. As the Grand Inquisitor headed towards them he stopped in front of the Seventh Sister

And held out his other hand in a force chokehold.

"Foolish child! You really think I would not discover what you were up to" roared the Pau'an, "One of two order's is to not harm Tano! Our Master wants the Torguta unharmed so he may talk to her."

Such a notion horrified Ahsoka. What would Vader want with her? Why would Vader order his three Inquisitor's to not harm her? Ahsoka starred as the Seventh Sister was released and felt to the ground gasping for air but she was more worried for Ezra. If the Grand Inquisitor did not release him soon he would not have any hair left.

Kanan spoke up for the child in the Inquisitor's hold, "Get your hands off him!"

The Inquisitor then raised the child up closer to him, and Kanan understood why the child's hair was being pulled nearly out of his skull; the braid.

"How dare you Jarrus, you pathetic little weakling?" The Inquisitor snarled as he threw Ezra to the floor hard.

Kanan growled at the man; how dare he treat Ezra that way. If his hands were free, he would be beating the crap out of him. The Grand Inquisitor grabbed Kanan's throat and pressed.

"Ezra took the oath!" Kanan was barely able to speak in his choke hold, "Ezra wants to be trained to be a Jedi and asked me to teach him because he chose that path!"

After several moments, the Grand Inquisitor released him. Ezra looked at Kanan with fear, he was worried for his friend as he sat gasping on the ground. Ezra could see how his shoulder was not sitting right and his hand and fingers hang in an odd angle held by the cuff that was chained to the floor. Ezra felt sorry for his friend and master, he did not deserve such a cruel treatment.

The Inquisitor correct, "No. You took him from me, and in a futile attempt to teach him a couple of tricks. The boy has one master and that is me and don't you ever dare claim anything else"

Suddenly the two males looked down as they heard a voice shout, "Kanan is a great teacher, he is better than you! I am proud Kanan is my master"

They two saw Ezra look up at the man with a fire in his eyes. Kanan couldn't help but have his heart swell with pride at Ezra standing up for him. It showed how far the two had come. But his heart then sank to his stomach as the Inquisitor ignited his saber, and raised it in Ezra's direction. The Grand Inquisitor looked furious, he wanted revenge for that.

"NO!" Kanan and Ahsoka shrieked for the child along with Mira, Ephraim, Zeb, Sabine and Hera that was forced to sit by the Fifth Brother and Kallus. They all felt helpless as Ezra looked away, eyes close as he felt the heat of the saber come near him.

A sharp pain graced his cheek. It stun like fire under his eye as tears streamed down his cheek. Ezra though was confused when no other pain seemed to be inflicted upon him. As Ezra opened his eyes, he saw to to his shock, his braid now on the floor. Ezra looked up at Kanan in despair, who seemed more relieved that it was just hair and not a child's head on the floor. Even so Ezra couldn't help but know that Kanan was sad that the braid was cut and he wanted to cry over it himself. Ezra had felt proud over his braid and had looked forward to the day Kanan would cut it. The Grand Inquisitor took up the braid and let it float into his lightsaber where it burned to ash in matter of second.

"No it was mine. My master gave it to me" Ezra cried.

That had the Grand Inquisitor turned around, made his lightsaber go off and then grabbed Kanana and drew him up from the floor.

"This... man... is... not...your... master..." The Grand Inquisitor said as he slammed his fist against Kanan's face several time's as he spoke, leaving him with a black eye and several forming bruises.

The Inquisitor then turned from he looked the boy in the eye.

"Such trivial customs are of no use under my training."

Ezra couldn't help it as he replied rather darkly, "I'm not under your training."

"Yes you are boy, you only have one master and that is me" The Grand Inquisitor said before he grabbed Kanan's should and pressed in making Kanan scream before he continued. "This man didn't even finish his own training before he ran from his dying master. He can't teach you anything" The Grand Inquisitor said before he let go and dragged Ezra back towards the cockpit.

Ezra stared back at Kanan who was looking at him with pain and shame in his eyes. Ezra did not care what was said, he just wanted to be with Kanan.

Ezra tried to get back to Kanan but the Grand Inquisitor was far stronger than him.

"No I don't want to go with you!" Ezra protested to the awful Pau'an.

"You will do as I say you stupid brat or I will make you regret it" the Grand Inquisitor snered.

"No Kanan" Ezra cried tugging on the chain.

Ezra wanted to just be with Kanan right then and there, he wanted to hug Kanan and get hugged back. Ezra could feel how much Kanan hurt and he wanted to help him.

"I have had it with you boy" the Grand Inquisitor snapped.

Ezra looked up and saw the Grand Inquisitor activate his lightsaber and suddenly he swung it. Ezra ducked but he wasn't fast enough. Ezra screamed in pain as the lightsaber cut into his skin and down his mid-back. A burning sensation spread from his back and through his body and he cried, it was the back that was always the worst to be cut, the worst to heal. All he wanted was to get away from the pain, it hurt so much.

Ezra could hear everyone scream in protest but he could not focus on that. Ezra knew it would be best not to cry but right now he was just a 12 year old child that felt pain. Ezra started crying, he wanted to sit with Kanan and feel his comfort. To have Sabine and Zeb cheering him up. To hug his parents. To have Hera apply something to ease the pain, he did not want to be here. Tears ran down his cheek as he cried over everything, right now he did not care that the Grand Inquisitor would be mad, he just wanted to sit her and cry until he felt better.

"Now come on" the Grand Inquisitor as he dragged Ezra by the hair back to the front.

Ezra was forced forward and away from the people he wanted to be with. As they passed his parents the Inquisitor stopped and let go of Ezra so he could look up at his parents. Ezra looked at his father.

"Ask him if I was lying" the Inquisitor asked.

Ezra's eyes filled with tears.

"Did you tell the Inquisitor about me?" Ezra asked with a shaking voice.

Ephraim's eyes became wide at the question.

"Ezra you have to understand I had to ..." Ephraim began.

"No!" Ezra cried, his stomach sinking at the realization.

"Ezra please" Ephraim tried to explain.

"No how could you!?" Ezra sobbed.

"Ezra …." Ephraim said.

"Enough now come here" the Inquisitor said and started dragging Ezra back into the cockpit and out of their line of sight.

Ezra was crying as he caught a glimpse of Kanan that looked at him with eyes full of pain as he disappeared from view.

SWR

Kanan looked after the crying Ezra as he disappeared from view. Every fiber in him wanted to go and comfort him. Seeing Ezra being burned with a lightsaber was sitting ill on him and he hated that he could not do anything about it. Even without the force Kanan could tell everyone was horrified and sad over what they had seen. How could the Grand Inquisitor justify to do that to a child? Yet he could and he did it made him feel sick.

Suddenly the sound of the engine changed and Kanan felt dread as he realised what that meant. They had arrived at the destination. Kanan could only hope it was not anywhere close to Darth Vader, he had no desire to go close to him. Slowly the shuttle landed. All though as he and Ahsoka was sitting chained on the ground they felt it some more than the rest. All the troopers walked over to their assigned groups and Kallus, Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother turned to see as the Grand Inquisitor emerge with Ezra.

"Now prepare for landing and make sure that everyone is guarded and no one is to run. Lord Vader will have our heads if they run" the Grand Inquisitor said sliding his sight to the two Inquisitor's and Kallus.

Kanan saw the troopers came over and pointed their blaster at him. Kanan saw Seventh Sister release the chain making it possible to finally raise, something that his leg had been begging him to do for some time. Slowly all of them was raising as they landed and was brought down the ramp one by one. Several more troopers joined them clearly to make sure they were not going to run.

A/N There we go things are not getting any better for the crew. But like the rebellion, you too must have hope. Let us see what happens next.
