Ezra sat down in his orange jumpsuit "Ok Ezra, ok, you got this" Ezra said out loud as he sat down in the kitchen area starring at an empty bowel in front of him. Ezra had his hands opened facing the bowel. Chopper was standing next the table looking at the bowel. Ezra closed his eyes and tried to use the force. Focusing, feeling the force around him. He slowly opened his eyes to peak at what was happening. He could see the bowel hovering in the air "Yes!" He cheered but then looked closer to see Chopper was holding the bowel with one of his small robotic arms.
"Waah-waah" Chopper laughed
Ezra chuckled sarcastically "Very funny" he said before kicking Chopper with his leg from under the table knocking him over.
Chopper grunted angrily as he stood up before taking out his prong and shocking him "OW" Ezra yelped as he fell to the ground.
Ezra stood up and chased Chopper as he rolled away "get back here peace of scrap" Ezra yelled as he ran down the halls of the Ghost, Ezra looked in the corner of his eyes as he pasted Sabine's room. He looked into her room to see Sabine bent over painting something. A smile grew on his face as he eyes drifted Sabine's rear as it looked like it was looking at him "hey, Sabine" he said realizing that if she turned around and saw him looking at her, it would end badly.
Sabine turned around, looked at him and smiled "oh, hey Ezra" she said as the smile left her face "hey, don't look" she said as she stepped forward towards him blocking his view of her room "I don't want you looking at your armor yet" she said.
"ok, ok" Ezra said lifting his hands up in surrender and took a step back "do I get a hint?" He asked.
"well, I took what you said about color into account. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised" she said with a smirk.
"I certainly hope so" Ezra said smiling back.
Ezra turned as he heard Chopper grumble and go into his room "Chopper! Stay out of my room!" He shouted as he followed the droid but stopped when he entered to only see Zeb asleep "Ezra you wake me, you die" Zeb warned with his eyes closed.
"OW" Ezra yelped again as he was shocked from behind. He turned to see Chopper laughing as he fired again. Ezra dodged the attack causing it to fly through the room and hit Zeb.
"OW!" Zeb yelled as he was shocked out of bed.
"hahahaha" Ezra and Chopper both laughed at Zeb as fell out of the bunk but stopped when he stood up scowling at them "It's his fault!" He said immediately pointing at Chopper.
"I don't care. I'm crushing you both" he said as Chopper turned and ran out of the room.
Ezra sighed as Zeb approached, he cracked his knuckles, put his hands up and positioned himself in a fighting stance "ok furball, let's do this" he said as Zeb through the first punch.
Sabine took a step back as she looked at her work. She had all the pieces of Ezra's armor lined up on the ground in order, she finished the primary color for the armor. She just needed to decide what the pattern was going to be, the color of the pattern and she wanted to do something special for the Vambraces. She almost had a good idea but she was pulled from her thoughts by a loud thud. She turned and opened the door to see Ezra and Zeb rolling down the hall way punching each other. Before she could do anything else, they were gone. She turned to see Chopper standing next to her laughing. She walked into their room and smirked "needs a little something"
Kanan was working in the cargo hold moving some crates when heard a rumble. He turned to see both Ezra and Zeb both fall down the ladder and landing hard on the floor. Before Kanan could say anything, Ezra and Zeb both stood up and attacked each other again. Ezra jabbed Zeb's nose, Zeb dodged the next attack and grabbed Ezra's arm and swung him into the wall. As Zeb was about to punch the back on Ezra's head, Ezra moved his head sideways making Zeb punch the wall, before he could draw it back Ezra grabbed Zeb hand and bent it backwards, used his other hand to grab the back of Zeb's head and slam it into the wall. Zeb pushed his leg against the wall making them both fall on their backs. Zeb jumped on Ezra before he could get back up and pulled his arm back ready to punch Ezra again but a blaster bolt flied through the gap between their faces. They both froze and turned their heads to see Kanan aiming his blaster at them.
"you know, one day you're going to do that and it's going get one of us" Ezra commented as Hera cleared her throat. Both of them turned to see her with a hand rested on her hip scowling at them.
"It's his fault!" They both shouted at each other.
"My fault? This is your fault" Zeb said as he stood up.
"Don't go blaming this on me" Ezra spat back.
Hera sighed as she looked at the two of them, Ezra had a cut lip and Zeb a bloody nose "Enough! This is my ship you're wrecking, and I want you off it" she said as the opened the cargo bay door.
"Hera, be reasonable" Zeb said as he and Ezra approached her.
"Come on. You know what he's like" Ezra said as Hera handed him a list "Uh, what's this?"
"A market list. The town of Kothal's two klicks to the south, and I'm sending you both on a supply run" Hera ordered.
"With him?" They both said pointing at each other.
"With each other. Oh. Don't even think about without at least one meiloorun fruit. Clear?" She asked.
"Clear" they both said quietly as they walked out.
"How do you expect them to find Meiloorun on Lothal?" Kanan asked as Hera just turned to see Ezra and Zeb walk away shoving each other and smiled.
Ezra and Zeb walked side by side as they reached Kothal "Ezra? Is that Ezra Kryze?" Ezra turned to see the merchant as Zeb went to get some of the supplies
"Hey, Mr. Sumar" Ezra said as he walked over to the merchant.
"Ezra. Long time know see. Here, have a jogan" Sumar said as he tossed Ezra a jogan.
"Thanks" Ezra said as he took a bite out of the jogan "Don't suppose you have any meilooruns?"
"Meilooruns?" he Laughed "Ezra you know..."
"that they don't grow on Lothal I know. But do you know anyone that might, know where to get one?" Ezra asked.
Sumar stroked his chin "I suppose you could find an off-world importer, but it'd cost you"
Ezra chuckled "it always does right. Well, great seeing you again" Ezra said before walking away. As Ezra turned he could see a squad of storm troopers led by an officer walking towards him.
Ezra quickly turned and took cover behind some crates before he was seen. He frowned as he saw the squad approach Sumar "You there. Sumar! Have you changed your mind?" The officer asked.
Sumar crossed his arms and scwoled "No. I told you, I'm not selling my farm"
The officer smirked at Sumar "Very well" he said before walking away. Ezra didn't like that at all. He turned and walked but only made it one step before knocking into Zeb who was carrying some crates.
"I got everything but the Meilooruns. Any luck?" He asked.
Ezra crossed his arms "No. Where going to have to find an off-world importer somewhere"
"well, it shouldn't be too hard to find one of those somewhere. Here, carry one of these" Zeb said as he handed Ezra one of the crates.
Ezra smiled brightly at Zeb "wow, and I didn't get you anything" said back
"Ha Ha" Zeb said sarcastically as he pushed Ezra's side knocking him back and into a crate knocking the lid off of it.
Both of them looked at what was in the crate "Meilooruns!" They both said.
Zeb and Ezra both walked up to the merchant "How much for the whole crate?" Zeb asked.
"I'm sorry. They're already sold" the merchant replied.
Ezra sighed "Well, maybe we can buy one from..." Ezra started as he turned to see a storm trooper pick up the crate and walk away.
"From the Empire?" The merchant laughed "Yeah, good luck"
Ezra and Zeb both ran after the trooper and took cover behind some crates to see a handful of troopers around a transporter, Ezra smiled "What are you smiling about?" Zeb asked.
"The obvious answer to our problem" Ezra said smirking.
Zeb Groaned "No"
"come on, it's not like we've never stolen from the Empire before" Ezra said.
Zeb rolled her eyes "Right. So what's the plan, Ezra? You gonna use the Force?" He said mockingly.
Ezra frowned "Maybe. Sure. Why not?" He said.
Ezra looked out from behind cover and focused on the crates. He closed his eyes and lifted his hand. He focused, trying to tap into the force and use it to lift the crate. Zeb looked out also and saw the lid of the crate start to shake 'he's doing it' he thought to himself and gasped as the lid was pushed off of the crate. The trooper that stood next to the crate stepped back in shock as Zebs jaw dropped.
One of the troopers looked over to them and saw Ezra "Hey" he shouted as aimed his blaster at him but before he could fire Zeb through one of the crates they were hiding behind hitting the trooper and knocking him over.
"Run!" Zeb shouted as he and Ezra turned and ran back the way he came.
"Stop them!" The same officer from before shouted as they chased after them.
"Come here!" Zeb said as he grabbed Ezra's shoulder and through him up wards towards a roof top.
Zeb jumped to but only made it to the legged of the building "Where'd they go?" A voice form below him said. Zeb and Ezra both looked down to see two storm troopers on the street looking around "Up there!" One of them said as they both aimed their blasters at him and began to fire. Ezra quickly took out his blasters and began to fire back at them.
Ezra was grazed by a bolt and he fell to the ground "Zeb!" He yelled as he saw Zeb land on both troopers and stand back up.
"Just keep going. I'll catch up to you" Zeb yelled back to Ezra as he ran down the street with another squad of troopers behind him.
"Split up!" The captain of the squad said as he and three more of the squad ran with him while two stayed behind and tried to get up to Ezra.
Ezra across the roof tops with troopers chasing him, he fired back as he ran only hitting one or two of them. He turned his head and sighed as he saw a Tie fighter "oh, give me a fucking brake" he said to himself as he looked closer at the pilot "Zeb? Are going to let me in or what?" He asked.
"So now, I'd be saving your life, right?" Zeb asked.
Ezra rolled his eyes "yes fine, you let me in, were even" Ezra stated.
Zeb laughed as he lowered the Tie and opened the hatch. Ezra Bridger hops of the roof and into the Tie Fighter. But he could help but land on top of Zeb "Don't crowd me, Ezra. I'm flying here" Zeb said as he pushed him out of the way.
"You don't know how. Let me" Ezra said as he tried to push said out the way and use the controls "Whoa!" He and Zeb both said as the Tie rocked back and forth and hovered just above the ground and turned sideways "Turn the ship!" Ezra shouted as he went for the controls again.
"Let go!" Zeb shouted as he tried push Ezra off of him causing the Tie to fire its weapons, right at someone's fruit stand. Both of them leaned back in shock "I can't see a thing!"
"Gain altitude" Ezra instructed.
"I know" Zeb spat back.
"Zeb" Ezra warned.
Zeb Grunted as he tried to see through the window "think we're too low" Ezra said.
Zeb scoffed "How can you tell? Why don't you clean the window?" Zeb said.
Ezra frowned but couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he looked out the window "We need to turn" Ezra said quietly to himself. His eyes widened as what seemed like the universe screaming in his head "Turn!" He shouted as he grabbed the controls and moved them to the side.
Zeb Grunted as he looked out the window and saw the outline of the mountain they almost hit "How did you know?" He asked.
Ezra shrugged "I have no idea... force" he gussed"
Zeb Chuckled "Good. That's... That's good. Now get out there and clean the canopy" he ordered.
"Spectre-4 to Ghost" Zeb called into his com.
"Go ahead, Spectre-4" Hera said back.
"Right. well, we've has a bit of a problem"
"I thought you might. Look, don't worry about the Meilooruns..." Hera started.
"Yeah, Meilooruns" Ezra said interrupting her "Uh, we found some despite them not even growing on Lothal but we lost them. Then we found them again. But we smashed them..." He continued as the ship rocked.
"Just cut to the point Ezra" Zeb interrupted.
"Wait! What am I hearing? It sounds like..." Kanan added through the com.
"Yeah, about that. Ok don't panic but, we stole a Tie Fighter" Ezra said calmly.
"YOU WHAT?!" Kanan shouted.
"He's taking it better than I thought" Zeb remarked.
"Get rid of it!" Kanan ordered.
"Do we have to?" They both said sadly.
They could both hear Kanan sigh over the com "At least tell me you dismantled the locater beacon"
Zeb "Laughed Of course. We're not fools" he said turning to Ezra and whispered Under there "The red wire" he instructed.
"What, I thought it was the blue" he whispered back.
"It's the red and the blue" Kanan said sounding very annoyed
"Right. Got it. I...I mean... got it the second we got in the ship. You know, right away. Immediately"
"Stealing a TIE attracts unwanted attention. Rendezvous at Shadow Site 2 Fly straight there. Do not stop. And don't do anything" Kanan ordered.
"On our way. Spectre-4 out" Zeb finished before hanging up the com.
"That went well" Ezra commented
"Yeah" Zeb agreed.
"Do you know which way we're supposed to go?" Ezra asked.
"No idea" Zeb said shrugging his shoulders.
"Okay. Navigation systems on line. Course set for rendezvous point" Zeb said.
Ezra smiled at the knows but he looked out the front window that was now clean "Wait. What's that? Looks like smoke" Ezra remarked.
"Yeah" Zeb agreed.
Ezra focused on the smoke then he realized where it was coming from "oh no. I know where it's coming from. Go check it out. Please" he said sincerely.
Zeb sighed as he turned the Tie's direction and headed for the smoke. A minute later they were flying over a farm house on fire "Friends of yours?" He asked.
"Of my Bridger's" Ezra corrected "good people"
Zeb's eyes looked to the ships monitor "There's a convoy of troop transports heading northwest" he informed before he looked up at Ezra face "Uh, karablast! I know that look" he commented.
Ezra smirked "What's the worst that could happen?" He asked placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Well, we both wind up dead" Zeb said back quickly.
Ezra rolled his eyes "it was a rhetorical question" he said.
Zeb sighed "Oh, boy. Here goes nothing" he said heading in the direction of the convoy "Attention, transports. This is Imperial Commander Meiloorun" he said improvising.
Ezra jabbed Zebs arm in annoyance "Meiloorun? Seriously?" He spat and whispered at the same"
"Shh" Zeb scowled back as he cleared his throat "There's a report of rebel activity in your sector. Reduce speed" he instructed.
"Acknowledged, Commander. Reduce speed" the officer said over the com.
"You sure, Ezra?" Zeb asked as he opened the Tie's hatch.
"Just get me in close" Ezra instructed as he climbed onto the roof of the Tie as he got closer. As the Tie was just a couple of feet over the transporter, Ezra jumped and landed on the roof. He balanced himself as I turn to see the gun turret fire on the Tie. Ezra hopped Zeb could fend for himself before he turned to the side of the transporter to see Mr. Sumar, his wife and someone Ezra could only assume was a farm hand "hey, Sumar!" Ezra shouted.
Mr. Sumar looked up "Ezra?" He asked amazed.
"Hold on. I'll have you out soon" Ezra said as he leaned off the side of the transporter and reached for the containment cell controls. Pushing the buttons he opened the cells "You have to jump. Jump and scatter" Ezra instructed.
"We're moving too fast!" Sumar said back.
Ezra rolled his eyes "even if you brake both your legs, it'll be better than being an imperial prisoner"
They all looked at each other with an uncertainty before jumping off the transporter. Ezra sighed as he saw them all slowly stand up. He waved to them before he heard movement behind him "Whoa" Ezra said as he dived behind cover to avoid the three troopers that got on the roof and began to fire at him. He could see the turret on top of the transporter began to fire at Sumar and everyone else as they ran away.
Thankfully Zeb had brought the Tie around and began to fire at the imperials "That gun turret's gonna be a problem. This bird has no shields" Zeb said over the com.
"Working on it" Ezra said back before he came out from behind cover and fired at two shots at the troopers killing too but leaving the third free to fire. Ezra dodged the bolt and jumped to another transporter. He took cover behind some crates as the last trooper fired at him. Ezra looked up to get a better view at the trooper and was only able to avoid another bolt that came his way by a second. The bolt missed Ezra's head, blowing off the lid of the crate he was hiding behind "Well, hello, stranger" he said as he looked in the crate to see that it was full of Meilooruns. He was so distracted as he grabbed one he didn't see the trooper jump transports aim his weapon right at him.
"Wait! You did all this for fruit?" He asked in disbelief.
Ezra looked down to the Meiloorun in his hand "yes, one hundred percent" he said before he through the fruit at the trooper dazing him enough that he had time to pull his blaster up and fire a bolt right at the trooper's face killing him instantly. But before his body could fall off the transporter Ezra grabbed a grenade of his belt as he placed the Meiloorun in the bag.
He turned to see the Tie headed toward him upside down with Zeb hanging off half way. Ezra activated the grenade and jumped up in time for Zeb to grab him "Gotcha!" He shouted as the transporter exploded.
"Uh, how are you flying this thing?" Ezra asked.
"Not important" Zeb grunted as he pulled Ezra back into the transport.
"Thanks for the save. Furball. Guess I owe you now" Ezra said as they both relaxed.
"Let's just say we're eternally even"
Ezra chuckled "fair enough. So, what do we do about the Tie?" As he looked at Zeb.
Zeb looked back at Ezra with a smirk on his face, a smirk Ezra is all to familiar with, they both laughed.
"One fresh Meiloorun, as ordered" Zeb said as he, Ezra, Hera and Kanan all stood outside the Ghost.
"Thank you, kind sir" Hera said gracefully as she accepted the fruit.
"yeah, but next time. Just get your own fruit" Ezra said smiling as he crossed his arms.
"Forget about the fruit. Where's the TIE fighter?" Kanan asked.
Zeb sighed "I crashed it" he said.
"On purpose" Ezra added "we didn't want it to fall back into the Empire's hands"
Kanan seemed skeptical but then nodded and smiled "That's what I like to hear" he said before he and Hera turning back to the Ghost.
Zeb and Ezra both turned to each other before laughing and taking jabs at each other as they entered the Ghost and went back to their room.
"Finished" Sabine said proudly as they opened the door.
"finished with what, Sabine?" Ezra asked as he and Zeb both walked into the room.
"Thought it was a moment that needed to be immortalized" Sabine said nodding her head to the wall.
Zeb and Ezra both turned their heads to see Sabine's work, it was a very graffiti style painting of Ezra and Zeb charging at each other with a rage on their faces and an explosion in the background "that's not bad" Ezra said as he crossed his arms.
"yeah, I kinda like it" Zeb agreed.
"don't get too happy about if boys" Sabine said "I'll end up painting every wall in here" she finished.
Ezra chuckled "don't you have some armor to paint" he remained her.
"Don't worry I'm nearly done. And I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised" she said before turning to leave.
"well, I certainly hope so" he said winking to her before closing the door.
Sabine smiled to herself as she entered her own room, though the smile left her face as she saw herself in the mirror. Her cheeks where red, she blushed, she never blushes "dammit, he got me again" she said to herself.
Ok guys, all done. Now I just want to make some things clearer. Though this is a re-telling of the Star Wars rebels story, it's not going to be drastically different. There's not going to be another dark saber as I have no idea where he'll get the crystal for it. He's not going to become a gray Jedi as he and Kanan have never had any way to know what that is. Though he is more powerful here than in regular continuity, it's going to change any major events, he's still going to lose to Vader and stuff like that.
Ok, now that that's out the way, some things. I am going to make a plan for the people that are not sure about some things so here you go. If I keep this story going by the end of the first season Ezra and Sabine are going to be sharing a room by the end of the second season, they'll be married. So there, not enough the spoil anything, but enough for you to have an idea.
And last, I want you guys to give me some ideas of what Ezra's new armor color should be, what would the primary color be, secondary, pattern of the secondary, any emblems you want to see on there, please let me know. If I go with your idea I'll give you a shout out.
Other than that, please let me know what you think, and if you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate. Until then I will see you in the next chapter, May The Force Be With You.
