Criticize whatever mistakes I do so I can fix them. I don't own Star Wars Rebels and its Characters. I take responsibility for my and my friend's characters in this story.
Ghost Division exists as a Star-SIM unit (Star Wars Simulator in Game ARMA3). Every character has been created by the unit's members.
Sorry yet again for the long update. Had a bad time getting the right idea of introducing our clone to Ghost crew without getting a… "Mexican stand-off" between Kanan and Wreck… yeah that was tricky.

Star Wars:
Haunting Spectre
Wreck sat at the rear turret's controls for a few minutes getting his thoughts under control. That Holocron Ezra retrieved had to be taken from this ship. He was more sure after seeing the same crew from that Wookie trap-ship.
Before Wreck could contemplate what to do with this information a sound of an unserviced wheel approached behind him. Wreck turned and saw an old C-1 class series astromech which seemed to have seen better days.
"Bwoo Phap Fwooo?!" The astromech demanded as it brought out its taser. Wreck slightly rose his hands up in the air.
"Whoah, no need for that. I'm Wreck." Wreck answered to the droid who seemed unconvinced.
"Thromb Kwoon Tha?" The astromech asked with confusion.
"Yeah, right. Not normal name for a clone?" Wreck said as he placed his hands back on his legs. The droid completely froze and its taser now limply dangled in front of the droid.
"Thrar?" The droid asked with disbelief.
"Yup. Though haven't seen your series since the early war." Wreck confirmed while also looking at the droid. The droid hid its taser back in its compartment while it deployed two stubby arms from its head.
"Thranna Fwona Wrinekanate Thrar Nowwt Thant." The droid said while gesturing at itself. Wreck slightly chuckled at the ego this droid had. An obvious sign of long term not cleaned memory processor.
"True, True. So what does a war veteran do on a small freighter kicking empire?" Wreck asked while pointing at the droid.
"Wrieeeh Prahan Yaaanrwwend Whak." The droid responded as it pouted slightly. Wreck slightly chucked at the droids' annoyance.
"Heh, I know your pain, one moment everything is fine, then I turn around and not a moment passes before one of my brothers decides to light the place on fire." Wreck said as he slightly relaxed on the chair.
"Fwoop Dah To?" The astromech asked.
"Eh, trying to keep one child from getting in trouble, and finding brothers out here." Wreck shrugged as he crossed his arms.
"Reew Ez Tho Wa?" The droid asked.
"Yes, Ezra. Ad has good potential. Say… what's your designation?" Wreck responded.
"Chwwop." The droid answered as it rolled its head a few times before pointing at itself with those two stubby arms.
"Good to meet a fellow engineer, Chopper." Wreck walked up and offered his hand. The droid seemed to trust him enough to shake it without a second thought.
"I suppose it would be a good time to find Ezra before he does another stupidity today." Wreck said as he looked at Chopper who gave a quick nod before rolling away on one wheel.
\_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_
"Welcome onboard… again." Hera said as she heard Ezra enter the cockpit.
"Thanks. Thank you. I really didn't think you'd come back." Ezra said as he leaned on the door frame.
"I'll get you home now. I'm sure your parents must be worried sick." Hera said as she plotted the course for Lothal.
"I don't have any parents… And the only person who would be worried about me is somewhere on this ship… probably scheming how to lecture me about jumping into unknown freighters." Ezra said as bad memories resurfaced before reminding himself of the situation he and Wreck are in.
"And you've got somewhere else to be." Ezra quickly added as he looked away from Kanan and Sabine who passed next to him.
"I know where they're really taking the Wookies." Ezra started the Ghost crew in the cockpit. He was obviously ignored. He needed to give actual information.
"Have you heard of the Spice Mines of Kessel?" Ezra added. Now he got their attention as all of them turned towards him.
"Slaves sent there last a few months, maybe a year." Sabine started explaining.
"And for Wookies born in the forest, it's a death sentence." Hera finished as she turned from the controls. After a short awkward pause in the cockpit Ezra decided to speak up.
"Then I guess we'd better go save'em." Ezra said. The entire cockpit turned towards him. Behind Ezra, the doors opened.
"We?" Sabine asked before looking towards the new arrival. Kanan and Hera were also looking… or gaping at whoever stood in the door frame. Ezra felt a strange feeling of deja vu as a black glove was placed on his shoulder.
"Good question Ad. What did you drag us all into?" Wreck asked with chilling calm. Ezra could feel the invisible flames Wreck was emanating.
"I… I can explain." Ezra said as he felt a small sweat appear on his face.
"We never got to introduce ourselves since imperials interrupted us every time. I'm Wreck. This little chaakar here is Ezra. " Wreck said as he squeezed Ezra's shoulder slightly, making sure to convey the message that they would talk later.
"I'm Sabine. Where did you learn Mando'a?" Sabine asked curiously as she looked at the man who had an impossible amount of scars.
"Got interested in the culture my originator was from." Wreck said as he pushed Ezra to sit on the free chair while he leaned on the door frame.
"Originator?" Kanan asked as he narrowed his eyes.
"I'm a clone." Wreck said casually as he shrugged. He expected widened eyes some suspicious looks at him and even disbelief… what he didn't expect was a blaster ready to be aimed at him.
Kanan narrowed his eyes and had his hand grabbing his blaster but keeping it in its holster. Hera noticed that and sent a glare at him. Kanan ignored it and kept looking at the clone with an almost hateful gaze.
"Now… back on the topic what did you mean by US saving Wookies?" Wreck said as he looked at Ezra who understood that he heard the entire conversation… probably after Kanan and Sabine entered the Cockpit.
"Well…" Ezra was preparing an excuse of a plan to save the Wookies from the Empire.
"I know what's this about but are you sure you want do this?" Wreck sighed as he rubbed his templates before noticing that he didn't have his bandages on his face.
"Yes. I'm sure." Ezra nodded confidently.
"*sigh*… Alright, let's do it." Wreck said as he nodded back towards Ezra.
"Setting course for Kessel." Hera informed as she changed course. Kanan still stared at the clone unsure what to do with him.
\_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_ \_
Wreck stood next to the main ramp of the Ghost. The ship was moving at impulse speeds in the atmosphere of Kessel. They stood in the cargo bay of the Ghost minus Hera and Chopper who were in the cockpit.
He could still faintly notice the stare he was receiving from Kanan who was on the opposite side of the room.
"Beginning to dive." Hear notified on the comms. Wreck could hear muffled laser cannon shots outside.
"Try not to get dead." Zeb said to Ezra. Wreck heard that and narrowed his eyes on the Lassat.
"Don't want to carry your body out." Zeb added as he looked at Ezra.
"You won't need to." Wreck said across the room. He wasn't comfortable having Ezra this far back. The ramp dropped and red blaster shots came through as the stormtroopers started taking positions. They rushed out of the Ghost and took cover behind some crates.
"Go ad." Wreck said towards Ezra before shooting back at one of the stormtroopers. Ezra nodded and he used some of the crates to pass the stormtroopers and approached the Wookies.
Before any of the stormtroopers could have hit any of them, the Wookies have knocked them out from behind with sheer brute force.
This victory was short-lived as three Tie fighters rose from under the platform behind the Ghost. They shot at the Ghost which retaliated with its rear laser turret. One of the Ties fell into the smoke, but from the smoke suddenly a Gozanti cruiser emerged from the smoke using its canon on top to shoot at the Ghost.
As the Ghost retreated with two of the Ties pursuing the Gozanti landed in front of them and deployed its elevator on which three squads of stormtroopers and one Spook stood with his arms crossed.
"Take them down!" Kallus yelled as he pointed at the rebels. Stormtroopers rushed ahead while he stayed in his spot. Wreck and the rest of the team quickly retreated away from the empty area to find some cover.
Zeb grabbed one of the Wookies who got shot and retreated leaving Ezra behind one of the boxes alone. Wreck could notice Ezra looking at something. He saw a faint glimpse of a stormtrooper chasing something.
"Ezra…" Wreck looked at him knowingly before shooting from behind the cover again.
"I know… no heroics." Ezra said with a slight disappointment. Both of them left shortly behind the rest of the team who took cover behind another set of crates.
"I can't maintain position." Hear notified on the comms.
"Go! Lead the ties away and give yourself manoeuvring room!" Kanan ordered through the comms.
"I'm not leaving you behind." Hera stated while Laser shots could be heard in the background of her comms.
"NO, you're not. We're running a 22-pickup." Kanan said as he looked at the nearby containers.
'I see what you're doing.' Wreck thought as he looked back at the containers which hopefully were airtight.
"Seriously?" Sabine asked.
"You have a better option?" Kanan retorted.
"Jump into the pit and get it over with?" Zeb suggested.
"All right, I'll be back. Make sure you're ready." Hera notified before cutting comms.
"22-pickup?" Wreck asked as he shot at another stormtrooper.
"Care to let us on the secret?" Ezra added as he ducked when another blaster bolt flew above his head.
"I'm about to let everyone in on the secret." Kanan said as he stood up and walked towards the enemy.
"He's gonna get himself killed." Wreck gasped before jumping over the cover to support the ponytail idiot.
Miraculously the Spook decided to stop the stormtrooper fire barrage and looked at Kanan who grabbed two cylinders from his belt which… looked like…
*Chkshooowwwww*
"Lightsaber." Wreck muttered as he looked at the blue blade that moved swiftly through the air.
Kanan took his first stance and stood ready. Wreck crouched behind him and aimed at the stormtroopers. The stormtroopers seemed completely out of their minds at the discovery.
"All troopers. Focus your fire on… on the Jedi." Kallus said with a moment of hesitation. The troopers followed the order and started their barrage once again. Wreck opened fire from behind Kanan and managed to take out two troops before they could take proper cover.
Kanan swiftly deflected the blaster shots though only a few managed to return to their senders. Wreck could notice the slightly slow and concentrated movement Kanan was making. Now that he thought about it the attire, the haircut, and the general sense of hatred Kanan sent towards him was now obvious like an exploding star.
'oh great… a padawan.' Wreck groaned internally knowing that after what happened at the end of the war no padawan could even trust a clone.
"Time to go!" Kanan Yelled before turning back towards the stormtroopers.
"Everyone! Into the container!" Zeb yelled at the Wookies. As Zeb and the Wookies retreated towards the containers one of the Wookies who Zeb was supporting was outstretching their hand outwards calling out a name.
Wreck noticed a faint bang behind him and saw Ezra running on the left side of the small firefight.
"Ezra!/Kid! Stop!" Wreck and Zeb yelled at the same time. Both cursed in their respective languages.
"Zeb, Hera's coming." Kanan stated as he deflected another blaster bolt.
"Get inside you furballs! Now!" Zeb yelled at the Wookies who were packing into the container.
"Kanan! I think you inspired the kid into… well… doing something like you do." Zeb said as he shot towards the troopers.
"It's not the first time he would go out to do heroics!" Wreck notified both of them as he took out one of his flashbangs and threw it at the stormtroopers before rushing out towards where he last saw that stormtrooper chase something.
When he arrived at the small catwalk above the massive fall one stormtrooper just fell into he saw Ezra trying to open the cuffs on a small Wookie. Wreck approached them from behind but before he could say anything he heard the faint footsteps behind him.
Wreck turned around and managed to move far enough that the incoming butt end of a blaster landed on his chest rather than his head.
"It's over for you Jedi!" Kallus stated as he aimed his blaster at Ezra. Wreck couldn't risk aiming his weapon back at the Spook which could take the shot right there and now.
"A Master… an apprentice… and a loyal trooper. Such a rare find those days." Kallus monologued as he finally figured out who Wreck was from the bits of armour he wore.
"I wouldn't understand any of your fantasies Spook. But we prefer to work alone." Wreck said back as he slowly inched towards Ezra to make for a convenient shield in case the Spook decided to shoot.
"Not this time!" Kanan yelled from below them as the Ghost emerged from the smoke the same way Kallus arrived with the Gozanit. The only difference was that Kanan stood on top of the ship.
Kallus decided to shoot at the Jedi who reflected one of the shots towards the Spook. The Spook fell towards the almost unending pit under them.
"Jump!" Kanan yelled as Ghost descended. The trio of them jumped and landed on top of the Ghost.
"Thanks Co-..." Wreck thanked Kanan but caught himself from calling him, commander.
"I'm still debating if I want to leave you here or not." Kanan said bluntly.
"At least you're honest." Wreck responded as they entered the Ghosts' interior through the top airlock.

Finally we're almost at the end of the first episode! Next time a truce between the Jedi and Clone!… hopefully.
