So it has been a while guys. Sorry about that. This chapter was super fun for us to write. hope you all enjoy, warning of torture fo those with queasy stomachs

Ahsoka sat in her cell, anxiety of what horrors could be happening to her friends filled her mind. Kanan and Ezra were going through the same torment and agony the two had endured months ago, and had just recovered from. Now Hera was with them; clearly the Inquisitors were going to use her to them. Ahsoka knew this could last a while, for Hera was too stubborn to let them talk for her sake. Ahsoka sighed, how had they ended in this mess?

It made Ahsoka sick that she could do nothing but to sit in the cell and wait for the next worst plan the Empire had in store for them. This while the question of who would be interrigotated next troubled her. Of the crew, she hoped Sabine would be spared; she was still so young she should not be involved in such cruelties. It was bad enough Ezra was in their with that monster, Ahsoka could not bare if Sabine was involved too. Ahsoka sighed, for she never felt so guilty as she did right now for getting Ezra and Sabine involved. However, being entrapped by the Empire, there was nothing she could do to help anyone, let alone the youngest crew members.

Ahsoka looked up at the troopers as they passed by her cell. The helplessness was gnawing at her because she could not take the imperials out and free everyone. Her eyes though fell onto the cell right across from hers where Zeb and Sabine remained. They must have sensed her looking at them for they looked at her with worry in their eyes at their current predicament. All Ahsoka could really do was smile at them, with some assurance that they will figure a way out, somehow. At the very least assuring them that she was okay in the current moment. Ahsoka, too restless to sit, walked back and forth between the cell walls. That was when she heard some yelling.

"Let go of me!" Ahsoka heard Hera just outside when she saw the force shield go down, revealing the Seventh sister yanking on Hera when she took off Hera's cuffs and shoved her into the cell before putting the shield up once more. The moment Hera fell to the floor however, her hands went straight to her Lekku. Ahsoka rushed to Hera's aid to look her over.

"Hera?!" Ahsoka exclaimed as she got a close look at Hera. The woman clearly had been attacked; by the way she was twitching, it was obvious her body was recovering from being shocked, possibly repeatedly. What made Ahsoka wince with empathy for her friend most however, was that Hera was holding onto her lekku for dear life; resulting in blood seeping onto her hand. What was wrong with her? Ahsoka knelt down next to Hera and gently placed a hand onto hers.

"Let me take a look," Ahsoka insisted. Hera nodded gently in agreement.

With her hands removed, Ahsoka gasped at the gash across Hera's lekku which was covered in blood. It looked rather deep, indicating it must be causing Hera great pain. Ahsoka heard Zeb growl in anger and Sabine gasped as they saw their captain in such agony. They knew how sensitive twi'leks lekkus were, and how important it was to their anatomy.

"Ashoka!" Sabine hollered in concern, "Is she okay?"

Ahsoka hollered calmly to the other's, "She will be, no serious damage." But in reality Ahsoka did not really now if that was true, lekku was very complex part the twi'lek body. The only assurance Ahsoka had was she saw the appendage move a bit, which was a good sign that Hera coud still use it. At least she thought it was until Hera let out a cry of pain and her hands shot up to her lekku again. Ahsoka heard it as Zeb and Sabine called out in worry for Hera, but she could do nothing for them so she focused on Hera instead.

"Here," Ahsoka offered as she ripped of some of her own shirt in a attempt to bandage up the cut to prevent any form of infection. As Ahsoka wrapped up the woman's injury, she could feel Hera tremble, upon closer inspection, she saw that her friend was crying.

"Ahsoka," Hera choked up as Ahsoka finished up wrapping up the lekku wound, "They are doing horrible things to them; shocking, serums, beatings. They can't handle it, they can't."

Hera then began to break down once more; not for her own pain but for Kanan and Ezra.

When Hera's Lekku moved to show despair, Hera again clung onto them once more to prevent any movement.

Ahsoka couldn't possibly say anything to make her feel better. Anything like 'they will be ok' or 'we will get out' would just be an empty promise where nothing could be cemented in fact.

"Hera, what happened?" Ahsoka finally mustered. Desperate to know what was going on with her fellow force-user friends.

Hera took some deep breaths before she began.

"The Inquisitors, when I entered the room Kanan had been drugged. …. Oh Ahsoka he screamed so terribly, the drug caused him such agony. Then the Inquisitor wanted Kanan to talk but he wouldn't, I couldn't let him. I got electrocuted, I thought it was going to be the end when…" Hera looked down in terror.

"What happened," Ahsoka urged Hera to continue.

"Ezra stopped it. I don't know how but he did something to the Seventh Sister. Something I don't think he was suppose to do because Kanan began to reason with him, asking him to stop, and he finally did."

"The Dark Side." Ahsoka realized

"Was that what it was?" Hera questioned, "Ezra looked so angry. It was devastating to see him so worked up... so upset."

Ahsoka noticed this was past tense, "Did he stop?"

Hera nodded in relief, "Kanan helped him calm down. But then the Inquisitor got mad at Kanan for doing that. Ezra was moved and Kanan was … Kanan was …" Hera was unable to form the words and gently stroke her leku only to feel pain in both her hand and leku, making her flinch and Ahsoka noticed the hand for the first time.

"What is wrong with your hand?" Ahsoka questioned in horror.

Hera cradled her injured hand to her and looked away unable to meet Ahsoka's gaze.

"Hera what is wrong with your hand?" Ahsoka asked again but in a more gentle tone.

Tears ran down her cheeks as she held her injured hand, her breathing uneven as she recalled what had just occurred. Ahsoka noticed that the stress made Hera's lekku move again making Hera cry out and blood started to stain her makeshift bandage. Ahsoka had to get Hera to calm down.

"Take a deep breath Hera, calm down and then you can tell us," Ahsoka assured her friend.

Hera did as Ahsoka said and took some deep breath before she told.

"It was not enough for the Grand Inquisitor to… punish Kanan. That maniac still had the whip from when he had Kanan the last time. The one … that he used on his back and stomach. I have never seen Kanan so pale. Oh Ahsoka, I think Kanan had a flashback from when he saw the whip the first time and the Grand Inquisitor enjoyed it. The Inquisitor used it .. on my hand. Ezra and I was forced to watch as Kanan got a slash in the leg. Ezra yelled at the Inquisitor and when he did, he tried to attack Ezra with his Saber."

Ahsoka could feel her own stomach turn at the pain Hera, Kanan and Ezra experienced.

Hera though was not done and seemed to strain on breathing as she told Ahsoka, "The Inquisitor, looked like he was going to kill him when Kanan...he blocked him. It went right down his back. It was so bad that Kanan passed out."

Hera shook as she recalled seeing how burned Kanan's back was.

"Just before I left they talked about using a fire whip on one of them. I got the burn for speaking out against it, but...Ahsoka I don't think they can make it if that thing is used on them."

Hera looked so lost, it was too much for Ahsoka to bare, so she only did what she could do and held her in a attempt to comfort her.

Hera cried harder as the women held her, it was all she could do. Gently Ahsoka had laid Hera's head on her shoulder (making sure her lekku did not get agitated in the process) so Hera could cry her eyes out. Ahsoka again gazed up at the cell across from her. it was obvious to tell from the Mandalorians and Lasats angered and horrified face that they could hear what Hera told Ahsoka.

Zeb saw that Sabine went from horrified to pale in pure terror.

"Sabine?" Zeb questioned, worried about how nauseated the girl looked.

"Fire whips Zeb," Sabine repeated in horror at what Hera just revealed to the room

"Doesn't sound good." Zeb admitted. The Lasat had heard the weapon but had never seen it used on another person.

Sabine then turned to Zeb, "Zeb, people have died when used on them! The human body is frail even species stronger than humans have a hard time handling fire whips"

Zeb eyes widened in horror, now understanding why both Sabine and Hera looked so freaked out.

The group were silent for a moment when Zeb brought up the horrible thought, "Who will that nerf-herder use it on?"

Ahsoka spoke up, "No way will Kanan let Ezra near that thing. Kanan protected Ezra once from the Inquisitor, he would do it again."

"Yeah, but Ezra just gave himself up to the Empire, who knows what crazy thing Ezra will do to protect Kanan." Hera pointed out with concern.

"They will do anything for the other, "Sabine pointed out, "It's only a matter of who can get the Inquisitor more agitated first."

"That is enough. No more talking or you will face our wrath rebel scum" a stormtrooper shouted and raised his blaster in warning.

None of them was all that scared by the troopers threat but since they had Hera's injury to worry about they did not push it. Instead this made the group think in terror of who would endure such agonizing burning pain in order to spare the other. The weapon used on someone could very well be a death sentence, and they could not let that happen. The four had to figure a way out, and now! The only question was how?

Kanan was laying on the ground with two troopers pointing their blasters at him, a sign for him to not move. All though he was not scared of a few troopers he knew that running would not be a good idea because the Grand Inquisitor was right next to Ezra. The monster could hurt him before he even got close to him. Not that Kanan had the energy to run right now, he was incredibly thirsty and in a lot of pain. Kanan therefore waited patiently as the med droid made the analysis all though he hated the deja-vu he got from his former imprisonment. Kanan had woken up with Ezra restrained to the pole once again and he caught a glimpse of Ezra parents as they were forced out of the room screaming. It was not a pleasant sight to wake up to, and he knew worse was to come. His heart ached at seeing his padawan's parents ripped away from him and seeing Ezra crying his heart out over the ordeal. Or at least he had until the Inquisitor had threatened to beat him making Ezra stop immediately making Kanan realise where Ezra's resentment about crying came from.

"The patient is extremely dehydrated, his heart is beating very fast from anxiety. The man needs treatment from shocking and beatings, and bacta for the cuts he has on his shoulder, wrist and hand that needs attending to," the droid said.

Kanan rolled his eyes, like he did not know that.

"Leave the shoulder, wrist and hand be and only give him what he needs to survive; nothing more" the Inquisitor barked at the droid.

The droid injected something into his shoulder and shortly afterwards did his thirst lessoned and his heart started beat slower. Kanan sighed in relief a little bit but knew it was a short stack before his body would be needing more help. The droid intended to do more but the Inquisitor deactivated it and pushed it to a corner.

With the fire whip in hand, the Inquisitor wrapped the unignited weapon around his hand.

"Quite the interesting weapon the fire whip," The Inquisitor taunted the two males as they looked at him with anger. "Can reach high degrees in seconds and cause the most painful of deep scarring. The pain can last for days. That is if one survives that long."

Ezra was scared by what was about to be inflicted onto him; but it was better him than Kanan.

"Seems the only challenge I face is whom to use this weapon on? You certainly both deserve such torment." The Inquisitor said with a wicked smile.

Kanan knew he could not let that whip near Ezra, but before he could speak up, Ezra in a horrible show of guts did.

"I'm not scared by it!" Ezra tried to put on a brave face, but Kanan could tell by the way Ezra was fighting back tears that the kid was scared.

What made Kanan heart cringe was that Ezra was clearly doing this to protect him; but that was not how it was supposed to go.

The Inquisitor stepped towards the restrained child and drooped the whip done igniting it with the press of the button as he whip became ensnared by flames. Ezra could already feel the heat from it just a few feet away as he pressed himself against the pole to get as far away as possible.

"Are you still fearless apprentice."

Ezra gave him a stern look, Kanan knew that Ezra would not back down. There was only one way to protect Ezra and that would hurt like shit but there was no alternatives. Kanan just hoped that his body was strong enough to endure what would happen. The Inquisitor had certainly not been lenient towards him, but anything was better than letting Ezra get hurt. Before the Inquisitor could do anything Kanan hollered,

"When are you going to get it through your thick skull! Ezra is my student! I am his master, GET OVER IT!"

The Inquisitor gazed at Kanan before he turned to the two troopers next to Kanan, "You two positioning the Jedi. I want him tied to the pole. Make sure to leave his back is exposed."

Kanan sighed in relief, no matter what he was about to endure, it was better him than his padawan. Kanan felt it when the troopers brutally grabbed him and dragged him to the pole, he dared not offer resistance he did not want the Inquisitor to change his mind. Kanan tried to prepare for what was to come.

As Ahsoka continued to try and tend to Hera (an impossible task with no medical equipment) Hera seemed to have a hard time to stay fully conscious over the pain, at least until they heard crying and screaming from down to the hall. Ahsoka helped Hera over to the door as they saw Kallus and two stormtroopers bringing Ezra's parents down the hall.

"Please please don't hurt him. Ezra is just a boy you can't use a fire whip on him" Mira cried hysterical to Kallus.

"I said move it" Kallus said irritated as the two prisoners was pushed forward.

"Please spare our son we did it not him he is just a child. I will take the punishment" Ephraim begged.

"Enough you two the Grand Inquisitor will decide who is punished but if you don't move forward I can easily have you punished both of you" Kallus sneared.

This made Mira and Ephraim move forward but when they got to Hera and Ahsokas' cell Mira looked at them and saw Hera.

"You are .." Mira began but was pushed forward before she could finish the sentence.

Hera wondered what the woman wanted to say they looked as the two Bridgers was locked into a cell a little further down the hall.

As Kallus walked past them he stopped and grinned at them.

"All those problems just because of brat and a jedi weakling but at least they finally get what they deserve. If I was to bet about who would get the fire whip I would say the jedi, even though the child is in need of some discipline" Kallus smirked.

All of them growled at him as he continued down the hall.

Ezra saw how the chain was removed from his cuffs allowing him to move around. Even so his 'freedom' lasted only a second as a trooper grabbed him and dragged him to the corner.

"NO! Leave Kanan alone" Ezra shouted as he saw a trooper raised the chain so it would force Kanan to stand up.

The troopers ripped his shirt from Kanan before they chained his hands above him making the pain in his wrist, hand and shoulder explode. Kanan could feel his legs starting to shake in protest at standing after the whiplash on them. Kanan felt the ice cold air and he shivered from both cold, pain and fear. The shirt was the only form of protection he had against it not that it had done all that much but now it was gone.

Ezra saw the mans back bare, still having scars from the last time he was held captive. Not to mention he noticed how Kanan's right leg with the whiplash in was shaking like it refused to bare his weight. Tears dripped down his face, knowing that Kanan did this to save him from the whip it was like the first time they meet but this was a 100 times worse because he now knew Kanan personally.

Kanan felt how the similarities in the situation was there and he shivered recalling how he had ended up the last time. Kanan was fighting not to let it show but the Inquisitor picked it up through the force and leaned in and whispered.

"You are right to be scared Jarrus. I will let you suffer for that insult and the boy will watch knowing that this is all his fault". Before moving into position.

"I want you to look closely this is all your fault boy" the Inquisitor said.

Kanan tried to move his head as much as he could as he hollered towards Ezra, "No Ezra … aargh" Kanan started to before screaming as the Inquisitor put pressure on the leg and more blood ran down and out.

Ezra eyes watered over as the Fifth Brother too came into the room with the Seventh Sister in tow. The two looked eager to witness the whip used on Kanan as the Grand Inquisitor stood up again.

"Where is Kallus?" the Grand Inquisitor said.

"We send him to get the Star Destroyer ready for Lord Vader's arrival, but he was not happy. I can assure you he wanted to be here" the Seventh Sister answered.

"Should we gag him?" the Fifth Brother asked.

"Don't" Ezra cried unable to think of not even being able to hear Kanan speak to him.

Kanan could do nothing but just wait until they would decide if they would do it to him or not. How he hated being trapped like this.

"No it would be a shame to rob us the sound of him screaming. If we hit hard enough he might even start begging for the pain to end. You have done so before haven't you Jarrus?" the Inquisitor asked Kanan.

Kanan glared at them not willing to answer.

"I will see for that defiance you will get an extra hard whipping" the Grand Inquisitor said.

The Grand Inquisitor then gave the man and boy an evil grin before handing the whip to the Fifth Brother, "Have the first, go. You know how to leave a mark."

Ezra could feel himself pale as the Fifth took the whip. The boy saw Kanna prepare for the impact. The Fifth Brother ignited the whip high and the whish of the whip was snapped.

"AWWW!" Cried Kanan as he felt the burn go right down his back. smoking flesh began the room, a smell that mad even some of the troopers gag a little. Kanan knees buckled down, the only reason he was not on the floor was because the binder's were keeping him up.

"Ooh isn't the little jedi weakling sweet. Look at how he cries out after just one lash. I say do it again" Seventh Sister grinned cruelly while Kanan just struggled to get back up and stand fully to not have the chains digging further into his wrist.

"No stop please not another lash" Ezra called from the corner but was totally ignored.

The Inquisitor then grabbed the whip back from the Fifth Brother; much to the younger Inquisitor's dismay.

"They do say the second whip is the one that burn the most."

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Ezra roared in a futile attempt to get him away from kanan.

The Inquisitor then gave the child a sinister smile, "Seems I am leaving a type of scar onto you after all!"

As the Inquisitor prepared for another whiplash the skin started turning black where the first whiplash had ended, something that scared Ezra. The Inquisitor then raised his whip and yet again it went to Kanan;s already scolding back!

"AWWWWWW!" Kanan cried out again, this cry though did seem to be louder than before. Kanan felt his eyes fill with tears from pure agony

"KANAN!" Ezra cried out for his Master. The words though fell on deaf ears for the man seemed to be in such agony the world around him seemed to just disappear.

Everyone could see that Kanan was shaking under the pain.

"Stop it" Ezra cried.

"I say go forward if the brat ask to stop" the Seventh Sister grinned.

Ezra had to do something, he noticed the trooper that was supposed to keep him the corner was to occupied. As the Grand Inquisitor was about to use the whip for the third time when Ezra sprinted forward, he ran faster than ever before and using all his weight to tackle the monster and hit him almost in the guts.

The sudden surprise almost knocked the Grand Inquisitor to the ground but he regained the balance and grabbed Ezra before he could help Kanan.

"That boy, was the dumbest thing you could possibly do. Your friend will pay for it now; keep the child still," the Inquisitor sneered.

The trooper came over and took Ezra from the Inquisitor and held him still as the Inquisitor slammed the whip once again.

"AWWWWWWWWWW" Kanan screamed higher pitched than he ever had before he went limp and the only thing holding him up was the restraints.

"Seems we will need to get something to wake the man up. Can't have the tortured out cold."

With that the Inquisitors and troopers left the room, leaving Kanan and Ezra alone in the room.

Ezra saw the skin boiling and forming blisters around the burn marks. The smell of burning flesh almost made Ezra gag. Kanan though was in too much pain to even comprehend how much damage and scaring his back had endured.

"Kanan please wake up" Ezra asked but nothing happened.

Kanan did not stir as his back just continued to boile from the whip.

"I have to do something." Ezra whispered to himself. If he did not Kanan could die.

Ezra felt sad and lost until an idea hit him as he remembered, the med droid.

Ezra could get to it, yes his hands were bound but without being attached to anything, he could maneuver.

Despite his body be in agonziging discomfort, he was able to maneuver his cuffs over his legs so his hands were back up front. with more freer hands, Ezra was able to limp to the medical droid, and was easily able to turn it on.

Ezra was now grateful to Hera for teaching him all about how to work certain droids. With this knowledge under his belt, he was able to easily find the buttons to get the bacta patches onto Kanan.

The droid then wheeled right to Kanan, Ezra followed and saw the droid get to work. The patches seemed to be working the moment it made contact to Kanan's skin. the cool sensation of the pack began to send goosebumps up Kanan's spine. The droid took off the top pact after a few minutes and much to Ezra's relief, saw the scar had healed. Yes the mark was there, but it was closed up. The skin was dark from the burn, but it was not smoking, and the wound was closed up now. At least two out of three were now, the third was black and despite the patches, it made Ezra scared why it did not seem to work.

As the other patches began to do its work on the two other slash's, Ezra saw Kanan slowly seemed to regain consciousness.

When he heard Kanan moan, Ezra spoke up, "Kanan?"

"Ezra?" Kanan groaned as he began to stand where he was, "Are you okay, did they use it it on you." Kanan felt like he could kill if Ezra answered yes. Fortunately the child shook his head.

"They left us alone. I was scared that you would….I had to do something. then I remembered the droid, and was able to turn it on and-,"

Kanan sighed, "Kid, the Inquisitor-,"
Ezra hollered, "I don't care what he does to me! I'm not gonna let you die because of me."
Kanan could feel himself get better as the droid continued to work on him. His thirst lessened a little and the droid gave him something for the pain and even started to examine his right leg while it waited for the last patches to work. Even so, Kanan worried what would happen when the Inquisitor found out, but he could not deny that he also was grateful for the treatment. Ezra then leaned into the man's left leg, fearful that this might be the last time he could be this close to Kanan. Kanan only wished that he could hold the kid.

Then the door opened. The Inquisitor stood frozen at the door. As he saw the droid take off the last of the bacta packs and the boy near Kanen, the shock on his face turned to anger.

"What the hell did you do!?" The Inquisitor roared as he raced towards Ezra, grabbed him and held him up holding him by the collar before throwing Ezra across the room, the boy ended up hitting his head heard agtiant the metal walling, knocking the boy out.

"Ezra!" Kanan cried out, fighting against his restraint to see what that beast did to Ezra.

"You dare use my medical droid, against my orders!" The Inquisitor roared at the out cold child.

"Leave him alone!" Kanan said from the pole.

The Inquisitor slammed his fist into Kanan's back making contact with the blister that was still there. Kanan went screaming once again as the blister broke. The Inquisitor was folding out the whip for another blow when his comm went off.

"The Grand Inquisitor here" the Inquisitor spoke.

"Sir Lord Vader's flagship has just arrived he is coming aboard very soon" a voice said.

"I will come immediately" the Grand Inquisitor said.

"I would seem I can't give you beating you and the boy deserve just yet but I will Jarrus. I promise you I will give it to you, whatever is left of you after Vader is done" the Inquisitor sneered as he pressed in on Kanan's shoulder.

As the Inquisitor left Kanan tried to get a look at Ezra.

"Ezra please wake up kid, please!"

Kanan kept shouting his name over and over again, but the child just would not wake up, scaring Kanan more than any whip could, even more than the threat of meeting Darth Vader did. Because if anything happened to Ezra, he was not sure he could survive losing the child, his child.

A/N Oh boy it is not looking good. Kanan, Ezra, Vader, the Inquisitors and possibly Ahsoka in the same room won't be good
