A/N: I will be honest I was not expecting a the amount of reviews that I did. I am so pleased that so many people love this story. Well here is ch 2


Kanan and the boy had snuck their way back to ground level when Kanan though it was safe enough to ask the kid a question that had been bugging him, "so what's your name?"

Kanan had realized halfway through their escape that he did not even know the younglings name. But the boy just looked away nervously. This did not surprise Kanan, the boy had just met him. Even if the boy wanted to tell him, he wouldn't have been able to since just then the sirens went off.

Kanan began to sprint as the hallway began to flashing red as his little companion hid his face into Kanan's shoulder, breathing heavily.

"Hey it's going to be okay, my crew and I always find a way out," Kanan reassuring told the scared child.

Just as Kanan said those words to the boy though, he turned a corner leading to a dead end. Hearing the running of the troopers, Kanan was trying to come with another escape route when the boy began franticly tapping his shoulder. When he looked down at the kid, he noticed the boy was point at the wall of the dead end. That was when the older of the two noticed that on the wall was a small red button on it. The two reached the wall and when Kanan pushed the button, the supposed wall opened a small secret passage for the two. Just as they got in, the door closed and the two waited for the sound of the troopers to pass.

Kanan and the boy both let out a sigh of relief before he turned and smiled at the boy "told you we'd find a way out kid. Nice observation there."

Kanan had yet again began his trek down the hall when he heard a weak voice.

"Ezra."

Kanan looked down at the boy who was now giving him a half smile.

"What?" Kanan asked, as he thought he was just hearing things.

"You asked my name sir, it's Ezra."

Kanan just smiled at him, "Well it's nice to meet you Ezra."

Kanan now realized though that he had to ask the kid, Ezra, something else, "Do you happen to know where this hallway leads to?"

"West side of the base." Ezra stated.

With that in mind, Kanan grabbed his comlink out, "Spectre 4 and 5, I am going to need to meet you guys at the west side of the base. Spectre 5, how are the explosives going."

Sabine was clearly beaming from the other side of the comlink, "They are all set, once Hera shoots at them from the Ghost, this place will show quite a piece of work."

Kanan and Ezra were reaching the exit when he remembered to radio Hera, Spectre 2, we are going to need a pick up soon."

"Getting ready for pick up, but you haven't told us who we happen to be rescuing," Hera stated a little annoyed she was out of the loop.

"Well," Kanan began to say, but he had just exited the base when he noticed at least six troopers pointing blasters at them

"Oh, perfect", Kanan mumbled as he put Ezra behind him. As he was about to grab his own blaster though two of the troopers fell down after Sabine shot them from where she stood on the wall. With the trooper's confusion, Kanan shot two troopers as well when Zeb used his Bo-rifle to knock out the other two.

"Nice timing," Kanan gratefully expressed towards Sabine and Zeb.

Zeb though was not in the mood for gratitude, "We wouldn't need 'perfect timing if you didn't change the plans again," Zeb complained, while strongly emphasizing the 'again' part, "Where is our supposed rescue? Who in forces sack changed the op?"

Kanan just nodded his head down towards the now terrified boy somewhat hiding behind his leg, "He did."

"Uhh," was all Zeb could mutter out while scratching the back of his neck, a sure sign that the Lasat felt guilty for yelling in front of the kid.

Sabine on the other hand was not taken back at all before asking questions, "Who the heck is he? Is he hurt? What the heck happened?"

Before Kanan could answer any of Sabine's questions, he felt Ezra's grip on his leg tightening. "Hey it's alright they-"

But before he could explain who Zeb and Sabine were, he felt the familiar presence that Ezra was also sense. "He's coming," was all Kanan could say.

Kanan knew what he had to do. "Spectres four and five, take Ezra back to the Ghost and tell Hera to come pick me up, I need to do some stalling."

As Kanan took his lightsaber holster out he leveled with Ezra, "Kid, I need you to go with these people, they will keep you safe."

Ezra though looked worried but it was not for his wellbeing. "You'll be okay, right?"

Kanan just smiled at this, "I'll see you soon." Kanan knew that it might not be true, but he had to assure Ezra everything would be okay.

Ezra nodded. Sabine took Ezra's hand and led him to the speeders.

"In all seriousness mate, be careful," Zeb worryingly told Kanan before making a quick joke, "wouldn't want to explain you getting hurt to Hera."

"Aren't I always careful?" Kanan sarcastically asked, earning a rolling of the eyes from Zeb.

Once the Spectres and their now stowaway were far away enough. Kanan ignited his lightsaber, ready for a fight. He looked around him, ready for the Inquisitor to come any second. Kanan though could sense an attack not from around the corners of the base, but from above it. Kanan dodged just in time to miss the red lightsaber impaling the ground below. The Pau'an appearing enraged.

"Jedi, it seems you have taken what rightfully belongs to the Empire." The Inquisitor stated in a dark manner, "Where is my apprentice?


Zeb, Sabine and Ezra made it back to the Ghost in a good amount of time. Once on board while Zeb went to man on of the gunners, Sabine brought Ezra to the common room.

"Ezra, right? I need you to stay here for a little bit okay?"

Ezra just nodded at Sabine's orders while she raced to the other gunner and ran into Chopper, "Chopper, I need you to keep an eye on our guest in the common room," was all Sabine told the droid while she raced to her position.

During that time Zeb was able to inform Hera of the situations, "Specter two, we need to make a pickup of Specter one at the base."

"Copy that Specter 4," Hera replied as she got the ship off ground to grab their leader.


"I suppose I should be thanking you," The Inquisitor said almost too casually before his voice turned to ice, "Once my apprentice see's your lifeless body, he will not question me or the Empire."

Kanan took the bait and ran towards the Inquisitor ready to slice him down, only for his strikes to be easily dodged by the Inquisitor. But when the Inquisitor attempted to attack Kanan, the Jedi only counter attacked twice as hard until their blades were meeting.

The sith seemed to notice Kanan's determination, "You seem more dedicated to taking me down than usual. Seems the boy under my training struck a nerve."

The mention of the kid made Kanan change tactics and kicked the inquisitor hard in the stomach, causing the Pau'an to stumble a bit before Kanan yelled out while attacking him, "He is just a child," Kanan yelled, "Why is the Empire so interested in training children?"

"Because you and I both know he is not 'just a child,'" The Inquisitor pointed out. The Inquisitor then swiped kicked Kanan's feet causing the Jedi to fall onto his back. The inquisitor was about to slice him in half before Kanan narrowly rolled away, getting back onto his feet, lightsaber at the ready.

The Sith menacingly strode towards Kanan before indifferently saying "The boy will follow my footsteps and join the Empire or die."

That last remark caused Kanan to begin a full blown attack at the Inquisitor. When their blades met again, the Inquisitor was almost kneeling while hold his lightsaber as his only defense.

"The boy will not be part of your twisted methods anymore," Kanan nearly growled at the Inquisitor, but Kanan's statement only seemed to amuse the Inquisitor to laugh.

"What are you going to do about it? Train the boy yourself? A washed up Jedi training a street rat." The statement seemed to cause the Inquisitor to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

Before Kanan could even react to the Pau'ans remark, Sabine's little gifts to the Empire began to go off. The fiery explosion caught the attention of the Inquisitor, as Kanan took the distraction to force-push the Inquisitor into the wall of the base, rendering the sith unconscious.

Just then Kanan heard the Ghost shooting at the base, cause the base to begin to be engulfed in flames. Seeing the cargo door opened, Kanan used his abilities to jump onto the Ghost.

Kanan grabbed onto his comlink before hurryingly telling Hera, "I'm on, get us out of here."

Hera immediately began speeding towards the stars. But just as Hera took off and the cargo door closed, Kanan caught a glance of Sabine's handy work; the base engulfed in flames was now the shape of the symbol of the rebellion.
