So here is is, the first part of this story that will hopefully be worth reading

As in the intro, at the time of writing this I have something to say already.

I want to say that I may take some inspiration from other writings, however I do not want to take word from word what other story's say, just elements.

Now without further ado, let's get started, shall we?

Ezra woke up, slowly sitting up in his bunk. Zeb was still fast asleep, since he could hear the snoring below him. Ezra sighed. He didn't know if he would be able to get used to any of this.

The Ghost slightly rocked, causing Ezra to slightly wobble. Something was telling him that they were probably getting ready to go on some mission again.

He liked it, that was for sure, but all he wanted to do was train with Kanan right now. He felt like he could take on the Empire in a fair fight for once, and he was excited.

Ezra gently slid down to the floor from his bunk, getting dressed in his normal attire and clipping his lightsaber to his belt. Like he guessed, there was suddenly a loud knocking on the door.

Zeb jumped and fell to the floor, growling. Ezra held in a laugh.

"Yes?" Ezra asked, chuckling under his breath as the Lassat growled and rubbed his head.

"New Mission, you two need to head to the bridge" Hera said through the door. Ezra sighed.

"On our way" Ezra replied. He heard Hera walk off as he turned towards Zeb, who had already got his bo rifle and started towards the door. He gently pushed Ezra as he walked past, amd Ezra responded with a light shove back as they both walked out of their cabin and towards the bridge of the Ghost.

"It's about time you two got here" Sabine said, sitting in the co-pilot seat. Ezra smirked.

"So you missed me?" He asked. Sabine sighed and turned.

"Only in your dreams Bridger" She replied. Ezra sighed.

"Ok you two cut the chatter" Kanan said, walking into the cockpit himself. Ezra nodded as they all turned to Hera, who was now in her pilot chair.

Everyone else slowly sat down in their own areas as Hera started to speak.

"Ok everyone, we have gotten some Intel that an important Imperial officer will be visiting his estate on Lothal. He may bring intel on trade routes and other important information with him to continue his work on Lothal. We are going to have to get a hold of that info" Hera said. Ezra slightly perked up.

"Whats the catch?" Zeb asked. Chopper started to beep behind him as Zeb turned and growled at the droid.

"The catch…" Hera said. "...is that we have no idea how this officer is like and what his estate's security is, that is why we are going to need some recon"

Ezra looked around. It looked like he was going to be staying behind again.

"Ezra and Sabine, you two are going to be staying in a nearby home to spy. You two are going to have to act like you belong" Hera said. Ezra shot up.

"Wait really?!" Ezra said. Sabine sighed.

"Do I have to be with him?" She asked. Ezra turned.

"Hey I'm not that bad!" He said. Everyone glared. Ezra got the point and just slid back in his chair.

"Ok you two settle down. You are posing as a couple of bounty hunters for this. Do whatever you have to and being what equipment you need to get it done, but keep it quiet" Kanan said. Ezra nodded as Sabine got up.

"Let's go kid"

Ezra walked beside Sabine, who of course was in her very colorful Mandalorian Armor. He was wearing his own stolen academy helmet, so that the Imperials hopefully wouldnt recognize him.

They walked down an alley, making their way into a building. Sabine looked around before setting the duffle bag she was carrying on a nearby table, opening it to reveal blasters and other equipment.

"What is all of this supposed to do again?" Ezra asked. Sabine sighed.

"This is listening equipment, scanners, everything we need to see and hear inside that estate" she replied coldly. Ezra slowly nodded.

"Ok, so if we do find out something how do we contact the others without being picked up by the Imperials?" He asked. Usually, Sabine hated these kind of questions. This time, however, he was making a good point.

"Well we will figure it out later" Sabine said. Ezra nodded.

It was getting dark as Ezra and Sabine sat on the top of the building they were staying in, looking out towards an Imperial Complex a few feet away.

"Here put these on" Sabine said. Ezra nodded, taking headphones from Sabine and slipping them over his head, the ear pieces resting firm against his ears. Sabine flipped down a monitor over the eyepiece of her helmet.

"I'm seeing the Officer now Ezra, keep an ear out for what he is saying" Sabine sais. Ezra slowly nodded, listening intensly on the conversation.

"I can assure you sir that we are secure here" A Stormtrooper said. The officer sighed as he turned.

"Rix sir? Is everything alright?" The trooper asked.

"I'm fine trooper. If you can get the NCO to reset the password on the safe. I want to be sure those code cylinders are secure" Rix said. The trooper nodded and walked off.

"Sabine they are getting a new password for some kind of safe" Ezra said. He saw Sabine slightly nod.

"Alright, I will keep an eye out" She said back. Ezra nodded.

"How long are they going to be down there" Kanan said, pacing in the cockpit. Chopper and Zeb had gome off to do mainanence work on the Phantom, to Hera's request, and,it left just her and Kanan in the cockpit.

"Kanan it hasnt even been a day. They will be fine. If anything does happen they will let us know or we will find out about it" Hera said. He sighed.

"Yea I know…" he quietly said, looking out into the blackness of space.

Ezra and Sabine walked back into the house. They had gotten everything they needed, and now needed to get a message to the Ghost.

"With the Imperials all over the place this will be tricky…" She said, looking around. Ezra was sitting on the nearby couch, his hands behind his head. "And what do you think you are doing?"

"Thinking. I'm pretty sure a nearby ally would work perfectly. Imperial coms scanners always had problems in the city and all of the walls around" Ezra said, getting up.

"Lead the way then" Sabine said coldly.

It had only been a few minutes, and things had changed drastically.

They had the codes, but not for long. Each night, as they learned while passing a patrol, the codes changed. They were now on their own. Worst off, inside the officer's personal work room.

"Are you soon done!" Sabine hissed.

"One Second!" Ezra said, putting in the code. The safe swung open. Ezra quickly shoved everything he found in his bag, turning to see two Stormtroopers standing in the doorway.

"Stop!" One yelled. Before they could react Sabine drew her pistol and fired, hitting them both.

"Window!" Sabine yelled. Ezra nodded, hopping through an open window onto the street below. Sabine landed next to him, and the two were off running through the streets.

"Well this is a mess!" Ezra yelled.

"Just keep running kid, and dont you dare drop that bag" Sabine shot back.

They turned a corner, seeing a very much prepared roadblock.

"Stop!" Rix yelled.

Ezra seemed to think that the moment had gotten too intense. He drew his lightsaber, activating it and letting the blue blade light up the area.

Blasters went off on both sides. Ezra barely blocked the incoming blasts, but they were alive at least.

"If we get out of this I swear i'm not doing something like this with you again!" Sabine yelled, ducking behind a crate. Ezra did the same opposite of her.

"Oh yea because it's my fault that we are in this mess right?" Ezra shot back. The silence from Sabine answered that question quick.

Suddenly, blasts rocked the ground, landing in front of the roadblock from above. Sabine and Ezra looked up to see the Ghost above them and it's ramp lowered.

"Come on!" Kanan yelled. Ezra and Sabine wasted no time hopping on the ramp and going inside as the Ghost flew off.

"You guys caused quite a scene down there" Kanan said. Ezra looked up, but Sabine started first.

"Not like it wasn't expected or something" Sabine said. Ezra sighed slightly.

"Even then it was supposed to be a quiet recon. What happened?" Kanan asked sternly.

"They change safe codes eaxh night. The only way to get them without being stuck there was to go right away" Ezra said. Kanan raised an eyebrow.

"So….." He said curiously.

"Code Cylinders and papers are right here" Ezra said, handing over his bag. Kanan took it and smiled.

"Well it's one way to get things done, now you two go get some rest" he said, walking off. Ezra turned to say something to Sabine, but by the time he did she was already in her cabin and the door was shut.
