Phoenix Squadron Command Ship
He lifted his saber up and blocked the blaster attack from training droid as it hovered in front of him, while wearing his orange jumpsuit. It wasn't hard for him but this was the easiest setting on the droid. It's been three weeks since he's been rescued from that star destroyer, after he woke up in the medical bay the team filled him in on what happened when he was away.
He was in the destroyer for four days. Hera told him that Kanan and Sabine where looking for him with more determination then she's ever seen. Kanan even made a deal with Vizago and told him he was a Jedi. He was a bit hurt when Hera got so angry with them because she thought that they should stop looking but he understood, a whole crew of very capable people was not worth one fighter. He found out that Fulcrum was Ahsoka and Ahsoka was a Jedi from the clone wars, which explained so much.
Once he got settled in, the captain of the ship came to speak with him, Ezra didn't think much of commander Sato but he seemed like a decent man and it was good to hear that there were more people actually fighting the empire instead of just saying they were. Sabine stayed with him every night after telling him the great news that she found his necklace, he didn't ask how because he didn't want to know, he just smiled as she placed the Kyber Crystal necklace around his neck, he held her so close that night, and every night since.
Though after he was cleared from the medical bay Sabine punched him across the face for staying behind, he was ordered to keep it calm and not do anything that puts too much strain on the body. Which is why he wasn't on the current mission with the rest of the team to steel some supply's "keep your blade up" he heard Ahsoka say from behind him "it's easier to drop it then it is to raise it" she said before a bolt struck his left arm.
"Ah" Ezra gasped stumbling a few steps back before the droid shut off. Ezra sighed before shutting his saber off and placed it on his belt. Turning around he saw Ahsoka leaning against the wall. She kicked herself off of it and walked towards him as Ezra stretched his arms, wincing as he did "still bad?" She asked stopping in front of him.
Ezra sighed "just a bit stiff" he answered.
Ahsoka smiled as she looked at him, admiring his determination "may I?" She asked gesturing to his saber.
Ezra looked down to his saber "sure" he said before handing it to her.
She grabbed it with both hands and activated it, she looked at it closely "I've never seen a design like this before" she smiled doing a handful skillful twists and turns "it seems ancient but at the same time, new. It certainly shows your Mandalorian heritage" she said deactivating the saber and handing it back to him before the does opened and some crew member that he didn't recognize stepped inside.
"Master Tano, commander Sato requests yourself and the Jedi to report to the bridge as soon as possible. The Ghost team and Phoenix one as returned" he informed before leaving to room. Ahsoka turned to Ezra only to find that he was already walking past her to the bridge. She smiled at him knowing why he was in a rush, he wanted to see Sabine and everyone knew it. She was a slightly worried when Hera informed her that he and Sabine had entered a romantic relationship, she was going to talk to Ezra about it but when she went to see him. She saw that he was asleep with Sabine sleeping on his chest, she could sense through the force just how happy they both where and that it would be useless to even try.
Ezra opened the door to see Sato speaking out loud to the Ghost crew who were scattered around the room "You and your crew have proven invaluable to our fleet, Captain Syndulla. The fuel acquired in your convoy attacks has helped keep us one step ahead of Imperial patrols" Sato said as Ezra made his way to Sabine who was standing by the holo-table. She smiled at him as he reached her.
"Thank you, Commander Sato. I'm just sorry our intel about shield generators being on that shipment was wrong" Hera said as Ashoka stood behind the two.
"Perhaps with your next attack, Hera" she smiled trying to be supportive.
Before anyone could say anything else, the door opened and Chopper came in waving his arms about and wailing loudly "What is the meaning of this?" Sato asked annoyed about the interruption.
"An incoming transmission" Kanan informed the others "Who from, Chop? Ah, why don't you just play it?" He said with a care free attitude which clearly seemed to bug Hera.
"Uh, Chop, cloak us with a one-way transmission" she ordered the droid.
Chopper did as instructed and a hologram came to life, Ezra smiled at who appeared "Hey, it's Jho!" He said.
"I can't see you, but I can hear you, my friends" Jho said to the group "Time is short, and there's someone here desperate to speak with you. I told her I couldn't find you, but she wouldn't take no for an answer. She says she needs your help" he explained and if Ezra didn't know any better, he would say that he sounded a little awkward.
"We're always ready to help someone in need" Kanan smiled as he looked at the rest of the crew.
Jho sighed before scratching the back of his neck "Yeah, well, this one's different" he said before stepping out of view to make room for the woman who took his place.
"Minister Tua?" Hera gasped as everyone's eyes widened at the sight of her.
"Aw, we can't trust her. She's an Imperial" Zeb scoffed crossing his arms.
"Please, I beg you. Listen to my request" Tua said, well from what Ezra could see more like begged.
"End transmission now, Chop" Kanan said frowning.
"Wait!" Hera said before Chopper could follow his orders "Minister, what do you want?" She asked.
"My life is in danger. I need you to give me safe passage off Lothal" she said hugging herself.
"You're not really considering this?" Zeb asked in disbelief at what he was hearing.
"Quiet!" Ezra said to him, he wanted to hear what Tua had to say, she must know that this wouldn't work in luring them in, so what was her plan?
"I assure you, my intentions are sincere. To prove it, I will trade secret Imperial information" she said much to the disbelief of the others.
"You're defecting from the Empire?" Sabine asked sarcastically.
"Yes, I am" Tua confirmed ignoring the sarcastic comment.
"She's telling the truth. I can sense her fear" Ashoka said to the others as he frowned at the hologram.
"Yeah" Ezra agreed before facing her "but of what?" He asked.
"So, what have you got to trade?"
"A list of rebel sympathizers on Lothal and other nearby systems" she said getting a couple of people to raise an eyebrow.
"How come these sympathizers have not been arrested?" Hera asked confused by what she heard.
"Some have powerful friends in the Senate. Imperial command watches them,
but can do nothing. I know you need allies. Get me off Lothal, and I will give you the list" Tua explained.
"We shouldn't even consider this. It's obviously a trap" Zeb said crossing his arms.
"There's something else. I've discovered the true reason the Empire came to Lothal" Tua added.
"We know that one. The Empire has a factory, and they're stripping the
planet's resources to fuel it" Hera said dismissively.
"No. There is another reason known only to a few and ordered by the Emperor himself" she finished, there was a silence that loomed over the room after that statement, that changes things.
It seemed that Hera, Ashoka, Kanan and Sato where huddled together talking about the situation. Ezra walked forward towards the hologram "I think we should help her" he stated to everyone.
"I agree" Ashoka smiled.
"So, do I" Kanan agreed.
"All right, if Commander Sato approves the mission" Hera said before turning to face the commander.
He stroked his chin for a moment before replying "I believe it could be worth the risk" he said.
"Don't worry Minister, just hang in there and send us your coordinates. We'll get you out, I promise" Ezra said to the hologram.
Tua flooded with relief "Thank you" she said before Chopper shut off the hologram.
"Well, I guess we're on our way back to Lothal" Hera said looking to the rest of the crew crossing her arms.
"I guess we are" Kanan said frowning before he walked off, both Ezra and Ashoka could feel the anger coming off of him. It didn't take long before Hera walked off after him.
The others just returned to their duties, some leaving the room and some others went to type on some console's. Ezra rested his arms on the main holo terminal that rested in the middle of the bridge, someone nudge his arm and he turned to the right to see Sabine smiling at him. He couldn't help but smile back at her as he turned around, leaned back against the terminal and crossed his arms. Sabine did the same slightly resting against him "are you sure you're up for this?" She asked sounding clearly worried for him "you're still not a hundred percent after the rescue hhmmmm" she said before Ezra placed his lips upon hers silencing her.
It wasn't a long kiss but it was enough to put a smile on her face, when he pulled away she happily sighed at him before laughing slightly "I love it when you worry about me, it's sweet"
Sabine chuckled before shaking her head at him "looking forward to going back to Lothal?" She asked resting her head on his shoulder.
"yeah..." He sighed before placing her arm around her shoulder pulling her close "at least I won't have to worry about being arrested for wearing my armor" he said sadly looking away from her.
He felt Sabine kiss his cheek before stepping away from him "come on" she smiled at him before grabbing both of his hands and leading him out of the bridge. Ezra smiled as Sabine lead him through the ship, still holding his hand, of course he couldn't help himself from looking down at her behind as they walked. He didn't notice it at first but she led him back to the Ghost and without saying a word she led them back to her room. Ezra didn't know where she was going with this but he had hoped, they haven't done anything apart from kissing since they left for the mission to sabotage the communications tower. Opening the door, she led him inside and locked it behind her. She let go of his hand and walked over to the bed "turn around" she said to him. Ezra couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her words and when she saw that he was confused she twirled her figure around.
Ezra gave in and turned around, he crossed his arms wondering what was happening but his eyebrows did pop up when he heard a zipper being undone "Ezra, you remember the ship was docked over Alderaan a week ago?" She asked.
Ezra nodded "yeah. You guys all went down to look around but doctor Gipsy wouldn't let me get out of bed yet. I was really annoyed by that, I was board out of my mind and you knew that and you left anyway. Kind of a slap in the face" he grumbled still annoyed by everything and was bugged when she chuckled.
"well, there might be a very good reason why I didn't want you to go down there" Sabine said and if Ezra didn't know any better, she was trying to sound sexy or at least seductive.
Ezra played along "oh and why wouldn't you want me down there?" He asked.
"because I wanted to surprise you" she said confidently "and you will like it"
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT AHEAD
Ezra chuckled "oh and why is tha..." Ezra turned around to face "oh damn" he said in a surprisingly low voice as he looked at Sabine who stood still smirking at him with her hands on her hips. What made Ezra's heart stop beating and forcing all the blood in his body to start heading south was what she was wearing 'lingerie' Ezra thought to himself as his mouth dropped 'and its black lace' he continued to think as he let out a little growl looking at her.
"what is it you were saying Ez...?" She asked before Ezra stepped forward letting all of his inhibition go, he's waited a while for this, they both have. He wrapped his hands around her waist and lifted her up off the ground, he slammed his lips on hers and pinned her against the wall "you... like my new outfit then?" She moaned as Ezra's lips found their way to her neck.
"no" Ezra said as he felt Sabine's hands start to undo his pants "it's horrible, take it off" he said as his lips left her neck long enough for him to lift his shirt off over his head and bring his lips back down to her neck. He smiled as he felt Sabine grab his manhood out of his pants and began to massage it with her hand.
Without warning Sabine brought her leg up and kicked him away, Ezra stumbled backwards by the kick and was about to ask what she was doing but stopped when he saw the look on her face, it's like she was smirking at him but doing it evilly. She walked towards him and without warning she grabbed his sides and practically threw him on the bed "whoa" Ezra said as Sabine violently pulled his pants off and through them to the side "looks like I wasn't the only eager for this" he said waving his hand and used the force to undo the lingerie Sabine was wearing. She didn't even move as it fell the ground leaving her naked as the day she was born "so Sabine" he tilted his head and gave her his best cocky smile "are you sure you want to ride this train?" He asked "because I'm not gonna hold back" he said.
Sabine chuckled at him before walking forward swaying her hips as she did "oh, Ezra" she smirked as she walked over towards him, standing in front of him as he lay on the bed with his legs hanging off. She leaned in and placed both of her hands on either side of his legs "I can assure" she said leaning in towards him, starting to crawl over him, when her face reached his manhood which was fully erect, she stuck out her tongue and briefly licked the top of it before move past it towards his face "riding it" she said as she positioned herself over him "is going to be the least I do" with that Sabine dropped down on top of him "ooohhh fuck" she cursed with pleasure as Ezra reached up and grabbed both of her breasts before Sabine lifted herself up again before dropping. Again and again.
MATURE CONTENT OVER
Ezra was on his back panting heavily as Sabine was nestled against him breathing just as heavily, it went without saying that they were both sweating and had large smiles on their faces. The bed sheet was on the ground with all of their clothes, it was just their wet naked bodies pressed against each other "that was so worth the torture" Ezra said earning a laugh from Sabine.
She herself sat up and rested on her side leaning against her elbow "well I'm glad I could make that situation not look that bad" she smiled leaning in and giving him a passionate kiss, she pulled away but then smacked his chest "but don't ever get captured again" she warned.
Ezra brushed the smack aside and smiled at her "I wouldn't dream of it, now that I know the woman I love needs me here. How could I even dream of not going home to her?" He said earning a bright smile from Sabine who was leaning in the kiss him again but was stopped by a knock on the door.
"Ezra, Sabine? You in there? We need to leave soon" Hera said getting the two to sigh.
"how come we never get to lie in when we're not injured" Ezra asked as Sabine crawled off of him and started to pick up her clothes.
Ezra sat in one of the rows of chairs of a public transport ship that was attached to the blockade runner, he was wearing his orange jumpsuit with his lightsaber his attached to his belt. Kanan was sitting in front of him and for some unknown reason Chopper was at the helm "So, we're not taking the Ghost, and we're letting Chopper drive?" Sabine said as she came in with Zeb behind her.
Ezra tilted his head at her, she was wearing the suit she usually wore but it looks like she took the armor piece's out "hu, good idea Sabine" Ezra smiled as she sat next to him.
"After our stunt on Mustafar, there's a good chance the Empire will be able to track it" Hera added as she sat down.
"Great mission so far" Zeb added with a moan as he sat down behind her. Ezra ignored him and wrapped his arm around Sabine who sighed as she nestled into him and closed her eyes 'not a bad idea' Ezra thought to himself as he used his right hand to grab a data pad and looked over the mission details to come up with a plan.
They've been in hyper space for around forty-five minutes and they neared Lothal "So, what's the plan?" Kanan asked as he twirled his blaster.
Ezra looked up from his data pad as Sabine's head was still resting against his shoulder though she was awake now "Okay, so Minister Tua is scheduled to visit Governor Tarkin tomorrow. She leaves Lothal via shuttle at 1800. The plan is to wait in the hanger for her, steal the shuttle that she's going to use and take her to safety"
"Ezra, I hope you're sure about this. After all the trouble she's made for us, why should we help her?" Zeb asked clearly annoyed by the whole thing.
Ezra rolled his eyes as he looked over to him "because Zeb, that's what we do. Help those who can't help themselves... and just like I sound like Kanan" he joked earning a chuckle from everyone "besides fur ball, if you don't remember she has a list that we could really use" he added as Chopper brought the ships out of hyperspace over Lothal.
"Shuttle 593, this is Lothal Control. You are cleared to land" one of the imperial's said over the com.
As Ezra looked out the front window, he couldn't help but shiver. Sabine couldn't help but feel him do that, she looked up at him "you ok?" She asked.
Ezra shrugged at her "I don't know, I just..." He said struggling to find the right words.
"What is it?" Kanan asked.
Ezra turned to face him with an unsure look on his face "it's just... it feels so cold"
Lothal Spaceport
The team stepped out of the shuttle after it landed in the hanger. Ezra was in front of the group when he looked "God, I've never seen so when Star Destroyers here before. It's gotten worse" he said grimly.
"All right, Zeb, Chopper, stay with the shuttle in case we need a quick exit" Hera ordered the two as the others walked forward.
"Tua's leaving from Bay 23. Let's go" Kanan said as they started to head to the hanger bay.
After ten minutes of walking through the city, not getting into any trouble with imperials thanks to Sabine not wearing her armor. They found their way to the hanger, to see that it was heavily guarded "We'll need a distraction" Hera added as the others took cover by the side of a building.
"Well, I'm gonna go make a few friends" Kanan smiled as he smirked at the others "When Tua arrives, I'll keep 'em busy while you drop into the hangar from above" he ordered.
Hera raised an eyebrow at him "Make a few friends?" She asked annoyed by his attitude.
"It'll be fun" he smiled back ignoring the way she spoke to him while Ezra and Sabine shared a glance at each other.
"Fun?" Hera asked again sounding just an annoyed.
"ok" Ezra said taking a step forward between "what is going on between the pair of you?" He asked sounding angry "you know what, I don't care. But this is a mission to save someone's life, so whatever it is keep it to yourselves until we're down here. Is that understood?" He asked giving the two a stern look.
Kanan and Hera both looked at Ezra for a moment before sighing at him "Yes, General Ezra" Kanan said sarcastically giving Ezra a mock salute before turning down the road and heading towards a storm trooper who was walking alone.
"Hey, didn't we meet in basic training?" Kanan said to the trooper as put an arm around his shoulder and acting like they were old friends "You look familiar" he said before headbutting the trooper and dragging him away into an alley, five minutes' later he walked out of the alley wearing the troopers uniform, he turned to face the others and gave them a salute.
"Kanan's gone bucket head" Sabine said.
"I don't believe it" Hera said sounding annoyed crossing her arms.
Ezra rolled his eyes at what he was hearing "come on, we have are distraction" he said as he led the others up onto the closest roof with Sabine behind him and Hera behind her. From there it was a simple task of jumping across the roof tops above the hanger, a good ambush tactic. It was times like this that Ezra really missed his Vambrace's.
"Here she comes" Ezra said as he lied on his stomach on the edge of the hanger looking down to the road below him "shit, she's got company" he cursed.
"What kind of company?" Hera asked as she made her way over to him to see what he was talking about.
"Oh, for fucks sake" he cursed again as the hover-car came to a stop on front of the hanger giving them a good view of who was in it "Agent Kallus" he snarled as he didn't even need to look to see Hera frowning as well.
"Thank you, Agent Kallus" he heard Tua say as they exited the car "but there, there was no need for an escort" she continued.
Ezra frowned as he looked over to Hera "I don't think I've ever felt so much fear from one person before" he informed as Hera quickly looked back at him with a worried look.
"Lord Vader asked me to make sure you reached your shuttle safely" Kallus said as they neared the hangers entrance.
Ezra lifted his hand to his ear "does anyone know who lord Vader is?" He asked the team.
"no idea" Sabine replied through the com.
"nope" Kanan said too.
"no clue" Hera said right next to him.
"I see" Tua said as she nervously rubbed her hands together.
"We can't be too careful about security these days" Kallus said and Ezra couldn't help but frown at him, he could see even from this distance that he had sinister look to him.
"Yes, I suppose so" Tua said as she and Kallus passed through the doors of the hanger.
"Everyone, go now!" Ezra said and the group sprang into action.
Sabine jumped down from the roof and landed on the far side of the road "Hey!" she shouted before she opened fire at the troopers.
"Minister, take cover!" Kallus said as he and the other troopers began to fire at Sabine. Ezra stood at the edge of the roof and stood at the ready, he turned and saw Hera standing on the opposite side of the roof. Looking back down to the ground he could see that Sabine was taking a lot of fire and was being forced back, looking right below his feet he could see the troopers stepping out of their cover to advance on her.
He pulled his lightsaber from his belt and activated it before jumping off and landing right on top of a very fortunate trooper who had his back crushed and a saber starting at his head and going down into his stomach. Without giving the others a chance to recover he stood up and began to slash the others. Sabine began to run forward towards him as he finished the others off "want a ride?" He heard Sabine asked as he turned to face her as she sat in the hover-car that Tua used to get here.
But before he could reply he looked over her shoulder and saw at least two more squads of troopers heading there way. Without saying anything, he used the force to jump over her and landed in the passenger seat. Sabine quickly raised the hover-car in the air but one of the engines was shot and caught fire. They both jumped off before it exploded. Landing on the roof Ezra rolled over to see Sabine standing up and look over to him giving him thumbs up letting him know she was fine.
But before either could say anything a large explosion came from the inside of the hanger. They both got to their feet and ran over to the edge of the roof to see the shuttle in flames with Kanan and Hera in front of it.
"You did this!" Kallus shouted as he began to fire at Kanan and Hera as the doors to the hanger opened and the troopers from outside came in.
"Zeb, we need a pickup. Now!" Kanan shouted into the come as he and Hera took cover behind some crates.
Ezra turned to face Sabine "cover us?" He asked as she nodded at him.
He gave her a quick kiss before jumping off the roof, Saber in hand. Landing on the ground beside the troopers. He was able to cut down a large number of them before he stood beside Kanan and Hera who also took his own saber out and began to deflect bolts, hearing an engine above them.
He looked up and saw Zeb standing on the edge of the transporter they used to get here "Come on!" He shouted.
Nobody needed telling twice, Hera entered first Ezra came in after her and Kanan was last one in before Chopper started to pilot the transport out of the hanger but left the entrance open for Sabine who gracefully jumped in with a flip met the rest of the group standing behind Chopper who put the ship on full speed.
He didn't know why but Ezra closed his eyes and shivered again, it was the cold, it was like the force was screaming at him, like he was in an artic wasteland. He didn't even notice the ship crashing until it hit the ground.
Ezra groaned as he woke up on the floor of the shuttle in a daze. He could feel Zeb helping him to his feet "Come on. Come on! Up, everybody! We're moving!" Sabine shouted as she opened the door to the shuttle and led the others out. not even glancing at the people gathered around the crashed ship they just ran as fast as they could.
Bridger's Basement
Within ten minutes they were all gathered together in the Bridgers basement with Chopper up top keeping guard for troopers "A beloved citizen of Lothal, Minister Tua's life was cut short by this criminal band of rebels. If you see them, summon Imperial authorities immediately. Trooper corps have been mobilized in an extensive sear" the broadcaster said over the holo-fed before Hera shut it off.
"They did this to turn Lothal against us" Hera thought out loud.
Ezra sighed in disappointment as he leaned against the wall "god damnit, pretty sure I know the answer to this question but do we have to leave right now? Is there anyway the people can the truth?" He asked.
"I don't think the Empire is giving us much choice" Sabine said sadly as Chopper began to warn them something was coming and the sound of the doors being blown open caused everyone to raise their weapons. Zeb quickly climbed up the ladder with Ezra not far behind him, Zeb poked his head up first with Ezra doing to same and they saw Chopper welding the door shut.
"We need a plan" Ezra said loud enough for the others to hear him.
"They resealed the door" he heard a voice from outside.
Ezra's and Zeb's eyes both widened as they knew what was coming next "Blast it open" another voice said.
"GET DOWN!" Ezra shouted as he and Zeb dropped down the ladder and backed up leaving Chopper room to get down into the basement "this way" Ezra quickly said as he jogged over to the far wall as the others looked to the confused, he grabbed his saber and activated it before jamming it into the wall. As quickly as he could he created a circle in the wall and used the force to pull it outwards leaving a circle hole in the wall and to the shock of the others, a ladder was on the other side "time to go" he said as the others all climbed through the hole as Ezra waved them through one by one. Once Chopper used his thruster to climb up the ladder he went through the hole as well and turned just in time to see a grenade being dropped down into the basement. Without even thinking about it he called the force to him and used it to push himself upwards with a jump and it took him all the way to the took.
He landed on the roof of the building and walked over to the others who were all crouched on the edge looking to the road below them "If they know about this hideout, they'll know about our others. We won't be able to hide" Ezra said as he joined the others.
"We need a ship" Hera said "Maybe we can try one of the local Imperial airfields" she thought.
Sabine pressed some buttons on her wrist computer and Chopper projected a holo of the city "They're locked down. Besides, we'll never get outside the capital" she said to the rest of the group.
"The Empire's looking everywhere for us" Zeb grumbled.
"Not everywhere" Kanan said as he pointed to an area on the map.
"The Imperial Complex?" Hera said with her widened eyes "Are you crazy?" She asked.
"Does anyone ever say yes to that question?" Kanan asked back.
"He's right" Sabine agreed "Deploying troops to block every city exit has spread the garrison thin. It sounds crazy, but the area with the least troops will be here, near the factories. There are landing platforms outside these hangars. They're our best chance if we're gonna find a shuttle" she informed the others.
"I'm already dressed for the part" Kanan smirked as he placed his helmet on.
They all stood up and heading to the edge of the building and walked across the electricity cables attached to the different buildings. As they reached the end of the cable and landed on the building on the opposite side of the road, Ezra turned and looked at the burning home. He couldn't help but sigh "I'm sorry guys" he said quietly thinking about Mira and Ephraim "for what it's worth, I thought you were great parents" he stood there for a moment just thinking about them, he might have only lived with them for a year but not a day goes by when doesn't miss them. He turned when he felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned to see Sabine looking at him sadly. She didn't say anything, she didn't have too. She just walked closer to him and brought her lips to his, it wasn't a long kiss but it was long enough for her to let him know that he wasn't alone.
She pulled away and looked up into his eyes "I promise, when this is over and we're back on the Ghost. We can just lay in bed and hold each other for as long as you want" Sabine smiled at him.
Ezra couldn't help but smile back at her and rest his head against hers and wrapped his arms around her "it's times like this I remember why I love you so much" he smiled before kissing her forehead and turning to face the others who stood on the far side of the roof looking at him with understanding, true they thought now was not the right time but they knew what that building meant to him.
He let go of Sabine and walked over to them "I think I just found a way to get into the garrison" he said pointing to the road and everyone turned to see a trooper pushing two crates.
Imperial Garrison
Kanan walked beside Ezra who was pushing a hover-cart carrying two crates, which were carrying Sabine and Hera in one and Zeb and Chopper in another. They stopped in front of the entrance of the garrison and a trooper approached them "What's this?" He asked.
"Power cells in need of recharging for the rebel pursuit" Kanan informed him as Ezra pushed the cart further in.
"Hold it right there, trooper" he said taking a step forward towards Ezra letting him know to stop "We have to check inside" he said raising his hand to open the crate.
Kanan and Ezra both stepped forward to stop him "here, let me" Ezra said stepping in front of him "No, you want to leave here" he said waving his hand in front of the trooper's face trying to use the force to persuade him.
The trooper chuckled at him "yeah, no kidding" he agreed "I'm dying for this shift to be over"
Ezra and Kanan both looked at each other and Ezra shrugged "that's good enough for me, I'm gonna say I can do it now" he said as the trooper went to reach the crates again.
Kanan stepped forward "No, what he meant to say was 'You don't
have to check inside'" he said waving his hand in the trooper's face.
The trooper stiffened "I don't have to check inside" he said completely void of emotion.
"Well, then, as you wish, Trooper" Kanan said as he and Ezra made their way past the trooper and headed into the base. It was a tense couple of moments as they made their way through the base.
Stopping in a nearby storage room, Ezra banged on the crate letting them know it's safe to come out but of course Zeb through the lid of the crate and yelled dramatically "Zeb, will you be quiet?" Hera asked calmly but with a voice full of annoyance.
"What? I need to breathe. Have you smelled me?" He asked taking in deep breaths as the others jumped out of the crate and landed on their feet.
"Huh. Don't think it matters if you're noisy" Sabine said as she peaked her head out of the room and into the corridor "There's nobody around. This was a good plan" she smiled.
"Of course, it was a good plan. We came up with it" Kanan said as he and Ezra took off their helmets and begun to get out of their uniforms which took about a minute.
"This way" Ezra said as he led the other out of the room but stopped when a loud banging came from the crate.
Turning around Ezra sighed as he saw what was making the noise "Somebody get Chopper" Hera said as Zeb went over to the crate and grabbed Chopper.
"You think we'll find them this time?" A trooper said as he and one other turned the corner.
"We better" the other said as he bumped into Zeb's chest.
"Found me" Zeb smiled as he grabbed their heads and smashed them against each other knocking them both out.
As their bodies fell to the ground, the crew ran past them not even stopping to make sure that they're really knocked out. They didn't have time and everyone knew it, reaching the far end of the barracks without much trouble. Chopper opened the door and the crew made their way into the empty hanger, as they turned past a parked Tie fighter they found their way off the planet "There's a shuttle. What'd I tell ya?" Kanan smiled as he gestured to the shuttle that was parked on the hangers far side.
"You did good" Hera smiled as everyone left the cover of the Tie and started to run over to the shuttle.
"Hera, over here" Sabine said as Ezra and the others turned around to see she was looking at some tech and Ezra wondered what they were but they looked familiar.
"Shield generators" Hera said smiling brightly as Zeb and Ezra made their way back to them while Kanan stayed where he was.
"Military grade" Sabine informed as she activated the hover cart the generator was resting on and started to push it back towards the shuttle.
"Zeb, Ezra, grab all we can carry. These might help turn this day around. The fleet could sure use them" Hera said as she grabbed her own.
Ezra and Zeb didn't need telling twice, they grabbed their own generators and started to jog to the shuttle with everyone else. They made it half way before Ezra stopped moving, it hit him like a blaster bolt through the chest. It was like a piece of ice was inside his body and was rubbing against his spine. He didn't notice the others looking at him with worry as he turned to look at Kanan who had stopped as well "please tell me you feel that too?" He asked looking at Kanan but couldn't help but look over his shoulder and his eyes widened.
Kanan turned around to look in the same direction Ezra was looking "The cold" he said.
"ggggguuuuuu sssssssssshhhhhhhh" the black figure said as he activated a red lightsaber.
"you" Ezra whispered as the black figure began to walk forward toward the crew with a handful of troopers behind him.
Acting in instinct Ezra stood beside Kanan and the two activated their sabers "Hera, go! We'll cover you!" He yelled as he and Ezra stood in a defensive stance as the figure approached without even hesitating.
"Kanan, look out!" Hera shouted as the figure brought down his saber over Kanan. Ezra sprang into action and stepped beside Kanan, he quickly made a jabbing motion towards the figure as he heard the sounds of blaster fire.
The figure moved his saber to the side to meet his, true Ezra was in great shape but he still wasn't one hundred percent after the torture so when their sabers connected Ezra was pushed back further then he wanted too. Before he could recover the figure used the force to push him back even further casing him to fall on his back. He quickly recovered from the push and stood up in time to see the figure grab Kanan by the hand and pick him up, he could see Kanan wince as the figure squeezed his hands forcing him to drop his saber before turning and throwing him away like he was nothing.
Ezra charged forward at the figure but he didn't make it far before the figure grabbed Ezra with the force and held him in place. Ezra struggled to as hard as he could both physically and with the use of the force but it did nothing. Standing still he could see behind the figure that Kanan was getting up with he was waving back and forth like he was in a daze. Ezra winced in pain as he was being forced onto his knees by the figure "Your master has deceived you" the figure said in a dark voice, it was the exact same voice Ezra heard him say that time in the temple and in every dream, he's had of him "into believing you can become a Jedi" he said as the arm Ezra was using to hold his saber began to move.
Ezra couldn't even move his head to see what his arm was doing but he could tell by how it where it was heading. Ezra's thoughts where confirmed when he saw his blue saber was moved in front of his face and made its way to his neck "who... are... you?" Ezra gritted through his teeth as he looked up at the figure who stood over him like a god looking down at a mortal.
He could feel the heat from his saber on his neck as he neared closer and closer but just before it could make contact the grip around his body vanish and the figure turned to meet the saber of Kanan who seemed to regain himself as Ezra fell on his back. Though all he wanted to do right now was stop and go home, he knew he couldn't just yet. He stood up to see the figure side step Kanan's attack and push him away, Ezra stood up and immediately charge the figure who had his back turned to him, only for him to sidestep Ezra's attack as well as back hand Ezra across the face causing him to fly through the air and land near the shuttle. He got back up in time to see Kanan get his shoulder guard hit with the figures saber causing him to stumble back. The figure raised his saber ready to attack again but paused when an explosion on the nearby walkers distracted him enough for Kanan to stand back up "Now!" Kanan shouted at Ezra who knew what he was doing.
Ezra and Kanan both raised their arms and used the force to push the figure back and thankfully it worked causing the figure to fly backwards and land on his back right where the walker was crashing. Both Kanan and Ezra breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the burning wreckage. They turned around and walked to the shuttle but stopped when they heard movement behind them, turning around their jaws dropped as they saw the wreckage of the walker start to lift off the ground and the black figure started raising out of the fire "shit, that's scary" Ezra said out loud as Kanan grabbed his shoulder.
"Not now. Run!" He yelled pushing Ezra towards the shuttle. Normally Ezra would want to stay and fight but after everything that's happened so far, he could accept living to fight another day.
"Go, Chop!" They heard Hera shout as the two neared.
"Come on! Come on!" Sabine shouted as they started up the ramp and the shuttle lifted off of the ground, she aimed her blasters and fired two shots at the figure before Ezra could warn her not too. The figure didn't even slow down as he deflected both shots, the first one redirected into her side and the second was on its way. Ezra acted on impulse and moved in front of Sabine and used his saber to deflect the second bolt away from them "Ah!" Sabine yelled as she was knocked to the ground by the force of the first bolt.
The ramp to the shuttle closed as they could feel it lift off into the air "Zeb, make sure they can't track us" Hera ordered as he knelt down next to Sabine who was already being looked at by Ezra.
"Consider it done" Zeb said as he made his way to the cock put.
"You all right?" Hera asked Sabine.
"Yeah, I'll live" she winced as Ezra pulled up the hem of her shirt to look at the wound closer.
"Kanan, what the hell was that? That think made the Inquisitor look like chump?" Ezra said as he stood and looked in some of the compartments for a first aid kit.
"Something worse" Kanan said with a scowl as he checked his shoulder guard.
Ezra didn't answer at first, he was too busy worrying about Sabine. Happily sighing when he was able to find the kit, he walked back over to her who was still leaning back on one of the chairs. Crouching down next to her "here, lean back" he instructed as she complied "and what prey tell is worse than that?" He asked as Sabine lifted her shirt up in order to allow him better access to the wound. Thankfully it was just a little bit below her right breast so Kanan and Hera didn't get a good view of anything.
"A Sith Lord" Kanan answered as Ezra applied a bathta patch to the wound causing her to wince "The ancient enemy of the Jedi" he informed.
Ignoring him for a moment Ezra wrapped a bandage around Sabine "done" he smiled looking up at her, she smiled back and pulled her shirt back down as Ezra stood up and turned to face Kanan "we have an ancient enemy?" He asked. Kanan nodded "don't you think that's something I should have known about?" He said with a scowl crossing his arms.
Kanan sighed before standing up "Ezra, leaning about the Sith is something that's not done lightly. They're very powerful and very smart, for as long as there have been Jedi there have been Sith. And I didn't want you to know about them until you've had more experience with the force" Kanan explained.
Ezra decided not to press him on it but he did make a promise to talk to him about it more later "so how do we fight him?" He asked.
Kanan scoffed at him "Fight him? Ezra, we were lucky to survive"
"Then that settles it" Hera stood up "I'm going to make for orbit so we can jump away" she said turning and heading to the cock-pit.
"Hera, no" Kanan stood up stopping her "He will have a blockade of Destroyers waiting for us" he explained.
"And this shuttle is slow" Sabine chimed in standing up herself wincing a little as she did "with barely any weapons or shields. We're gonna have to smuggle ourselves off Lothal for a change" she said sarcastically.
"Mmm, that's not a bad idea" Hera said to herself stroking her chin.
"What are you thinkin'?" Kanan asked as everyone was wondering what she was thinking about.
"I'm thinking we know the right man to smuggle us off-world" she smirked before turning and walking to the cock-pit.
Kanan and Ezra both looked at each other for a moment before frowning in anger "Not him!" They both shouted.
Ezra sighed as he rubbed his eyes, they've been flying for around an hour now and he was tired. But he didn't want to sleep, he couldn't. After meeting that... thing, he just couldn't allow himself to sleep, it was the cold, he couldn't but feel like it was the force telling him now was not the time to sleep. Feeling something stare next to him, he looked down and smiled as he saw Sabine looking back up at him as her head rested on his lap. He had insisted that she take some time to rest after being hurt now they had time for it "that was too close" Ezra said as he rested his hand over her wound.
"but we made it out" Sabine smiled as she looked up at him "we always do"
"that doesn't mean we should always risk it" Ezra said looking back down at her.
Sabine gave Ezra a sad smile before noticing the look on his face, the look of pain "what's wrong?" She asked.
Ezra couldn't help but sigh "It's nothing, don't worry about it" he said.
Sabine opened her mouth to say something back but stopped when the door to the cock-pit opened and the others stepped inside. They didn't say anything to the couple but with the rumble of the ship, they could guess that they just landed. They both stood up and made their way to the exit ramp and to their surprise the sun hit their faces, they must have been flying longer then they thought.
Walking down the ramp a droid came up to great them "You must be Lando's droid" Hera said as she rested a hand on her hip.
"yes, ma'am. Welcome" the droid said in a really deep and if Ezra could guess that it was also programed to have type of sexy voice "I have prepared everything according to Calrissian's instructions. Is one of you a mechanic?" He asked.
"Oh, that must be me" Sabine smirked with confidence as she walked forward ready to see what she was needed for.
Ezra and the others walked forward as well but he stopped when he looked off the right. And then he saw it in the distance, a large flare of smoke on the horizon. It was massive and from his view it looked like it was going past the atmosphere. He needed to see what it was because he could feel something in the force, pain. Looking ahead of him he could see a pair of speeders nearby, he needed to know. Without saying a word to anyone, he broke into a run for the speeder. Hopping on board he turned on the machine "Hey, Ezra!" He heard Zeb say but didn't say a word, he just took off and headed for the smoke.
Speeding over the final hill top, Ezra stopped the speeder and stepped off. His eyes widened and his mouth dropped. He could feel it through the force, the only life was from behind him and he didn't need to turn in order to know Kanan was there "There's no one. Just ash and Echo's" he said out loud.
"They're prisoners of the Empire now" Kanan said behind him as he stepped forward.
"I don't get it. What's the point, why would they burn Tarkintown? It's so meaningless" Ezra asked angrily as he turned to faced Kanan.
"To spread fear, make us afraid" Kanan sighed stepping next to him "The people that lived here just got caught in the middle"
Ezra shook his head "they've never been this desperate to get us, what's changed? Is it the inquisitor's death?"
Kanan shook his head "There's a cost for any action we take now, Ezra. Things are getting worse just as they did back when I was just a kid. But back then, there were 10,000 Jedi Knights protecting the galaxy. Now...
"there's just a rouge Jedi gunslinger and the Mandalorian apprentice who was left behind" Ezra smiled sarcastically at him.
"Against an Empire" he frowned placing a hand on his shoulder.
"We can do something, assassinate a target, slow their progress down" Ezra rambled.
"Do you understand what you're saying?" Kanan scowled as he forced Ezra to look at him "You saw what we're up against. Look!" He gestured to the burning town.
Ezra pushed Kanan's hand off his shoulder "when have you ever known me to be afraid?" He asked rhetorically as he turned back and walked to the speeder.
Arriving back at Lando's complex they could see the rest of the crew working with some machines "What happened out there?" Hera asked stepping forward.
"The Empire burned Tarkintown. There's nothing left" Ezra told the others.
"Did anyone survive?" Sabine asked with a sad expression.
"The population's been taken captive" Kanan informed.
Zeb growled "Let's go bust 'em out" he banged his fists together "Where's my rifle?"
"No. He'd be waiting. You were right" Kanan said turning to face Hera "We have no choice. We have to leave"
"For the good of Lothal" Hera smiled at him sadly.
"So, what's the plan for gettin' out of here?" He asked as he looked at the machines they were working on.
Hera at the tech and crossed her arms Lando had these old "transponders lying around. Sabine's gonna tune their signature codes to match this shuttle's" she explained.
"Sounds like a lousy Lando plan" Kanan smirked.
"No, it's Lando's gear. It was my plan" Sabine said crossing her arms at him "With these transponders beaming out the same signal as the shuttle, we should be able to slip by unnoticed"
"Ooh, sounds like a lousy Sabine plan" Zeb whispered to Kanan with a smirk.
"Better than Lando's" Kanan said back.
Now flying in the air, Ezra, Sabine and Zeb opened the ships ramp and began to lower the machines off the ramp and they floated in the air "ok, let's get the others" Zeb said as the others agree.
The three sat in the cargo area of the ship and waited for something to happen, they all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the familiar sound and the familiar feeling of a ship entering hyperspace "Never thought I'd say this" Hera said as she and Kanan entered the cargo area "but thank you, Lando Calrissian" she finished as Kanan took a seat next to Ezra who was leaning back trying to relax as much as he could.
"So, if we can't go back to Lothal, where are we going?" Kanan asked resting his head on his hands.
"What are you talking about?" Hera asked confused "We're part of the rebellion now" she said crossing her arms at him.
"Are we?" Kanan asked rhetorically "Are we all sure about that?" He asked everyone.
"Maybe we could just grab the Ghost and lay low for a while" Sabine suggested, hitting to everyone that she sides with Kanan about that decision.
"I like fighting with Phoenix Squadron" Zeb spoke up "Reminds me of the Honor Guard. Besides, they're counting on us. Wouldn't be right to abandon them now" he said.
"Ezra, what do you think?" Hera said turning to face him.
Ezra looked up to face her, he took a moment to think about what was being discussed and how everyone was looking at him "I think, that we can nibble on the empire here, we can do it over there. We can be an annoyance as much as we want. But if we really want to stop them, then joining a rebellion might be a good place to start" he said. Everyone took a moment to think about what he said.
Phoenix Squadron
The shuttle docked with the blockade runner after and everyone slowly made their way off the shuttle all visibly tired by everything that's happened but before they could even get ten steps into the ship, Chopper came rolling in and began wail loudly "Chopper said a transmitter activated on our shuttle moments ago" Sabine translated for everyone.
"OH, GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!" Ezra shouted as he joined the others and sprinted towards the bridge.
"Commander Sato!" Hera shouted as she and the others entered the bridge to find Sato and Ashoka talking to each other "We need the fleet to jump out of here. Our shuttle was tracked"
Before either he or Ashoka could respond one of the crew members working on a nearby console turned to face everyone "Commander, I'm scanning a ship entering our sector" Sato pushed a button on the center console and a battle map of the sector opened up giving everyone a view of what was in the sector "We're tracking one target. No other ships have entered the system" the crew member informed the others as they could see the single target heading towards them.
"Move Phoenix Squadron to intercept" Sato ordered.
It didn't take long for a squadron of fighters to lunch from the blockade runners and head towards the Tie fighter "Fighter coming in at mark 3" the head of Phoenix Squadron said over the com as everyone could see that one of the squadron ships was just destroyed "He's coming in too fast!"
"Fleet, raise deflector shields" Sato ordered
"We've lost Phoenix 1 and 2" Phoenix leader spoke as they could see more friendly ships being taken off the map.
"He's heading right for us" Sabine said.
"Enemy fighter's making a run for the command ship" Phoenix informed.
"How can one fighter best our entire squadron?" Sato said with a mix of fear and annoyance.
Hera banged her hands on the console "Your pilots are outmatched, Commander" she said before turning and heading for the exit.
"Uh, what are you doing?" Kanan asked confused.
"Getting involved" she said before turning and leaving the bridge no doubt heading for the Ghost.
"Not without me, you're not" Kanan smirked back before running after her with Zeb behind him.
"Ezra, come on!" Sabine said as she ran after the others.
"All right if I tag along?" Ashoka asked just before Ezra ran off after her.
Ezra turned to face her with a smirk "why not" he said before turning and running towards the Ghost with Ashoka behind him.
The Ghost
"Everyone, check in" Hera said as she, Kanan and Ashoka entered the cockpit of the Ghost.
"Tail gun, check!" Zeb said over the com.
"Turret, check!" Sabine also said over the com.
"Nose gun check!" Ezra said as he moved past the balcony of the cargo bay and jumped on the turret that was just underneath the cockpit.
"All right, kids, do Mom and Dad proud" Hera said to everyone as she piloted the Ghost in the enemy Tie's direction.
"Here he comes" he heard Kanan say and he was right as Ezra looked up and saw the tie approaching.
"Ghost moving to engage" Hera said as the Ghost detached from the Blockade runner and moved towards the Tie but Ezra didn't fail to notice that the runner was now on fire.
"I'm on him!" Sabine said over the com as she started to fire at the fighter "Who is this guy?" She said asking the question everyone was wondering.
"Phoenix Home to Ghost. We can't withstand another attack from that fighter" Sato yelled over the com as the ship was now in flames.
"Copy that" Hera said "Phoenix Squadron, form up and focus fire" she ordered the ships that where left.
"The Force is strong with him. Kanan, let's find out how strong" he heard Ashoka say from her chair.
"How can I help?" Kanan asked confused.
"Just remember your training" she instructed, Ezra could feel both of them reach out through the force and focus it on the enemy Tie.
Ezra continued to fire at the Tie as he heads for Sato's ship to finish it off, he tried to get it but every time he fired the Tie moved out of the way before he even fired. He didn't what to do and then there was nothing he could do when he was hit with it again "what the hell" he said to himself "how the hell could this be here" he said as he wrapped his arms around himself before his eyes widened in understanding "wait, I know who it is" he said aloud so everyone could hear him "it's the same back on Lothal, It's the fear, the anger, the hate. It's the Sith Lord" he said before he heard a scream coming from Ashoka.
"Ahsoka?" He heard Kanan ask.
"Captain Syndulla, whatever you're doing, keep it up! The fleet can recover!" Sato said earning an eye roll from Ezra.
"No!" Hera shouted into the com "Commander, you need to get the fleet out of here now!" She said.
"I will not abandon our command ship" he argued with a stubborn Ghost.
"Hera, if he doesn't leave that ships the whole crew is dead" Ezra shouted up to her.
"You don't have a choice, sir. Without a hyperdrive, you must abandon ship" Hera said back as she worked the controls trying to get an angle on that Tie so she could take it down.
"oh, fuck me" Ezra said as Ghost turned and he could see three-star destroyers approaching them.
"It's now or never, Commander" Kanan said as it was clear that everyone knew about the destroyers.
"I regretfully agree. All hands, abandon ship" Sato said regretfully "You'll have to keep that fighter occupied" he said.
"Don't worry, sir. We seem to have his attention" Hera said with a hint of confusion in her voice.
"Suddenly, there's a lot to do back here" Zeb said with worry in his voice.
"Sorry to spoil your fun, Zeb, but I'm ordering Chopper to divert all power to the hyperdrive, including cannons" Hera informed.
"Hera, what are you doing?" Sabine asked in disbelief as she had no idea why she was would do something like that.
Ezra though about it for a moment but he smirked when he figured it out "oh, that's clever" he said as he saw the Ghost head right towards the destroyers.
"Ghost crew, the escape pods are secure. Fleet, commence hyperspace jump" Sato ordered everyone who was listening.
"Copy that, Commander. We'll meet you at safe haven" Hera said as she cut off the com
"The fleet is away" Zeb informed over the com "Get us out of here!" He shouted.
"Everyone, hang on. Chopper, angle all deflectors astern!" Hera shouted, Chopper grumbled back at her "The Star Destroyers aren't the ones firing at us! Now, do it fast!" She ordered the droid.
"Hera!" Kanan shouted wondering what she was waiting for.
"Wait... Wait" Hera said with Narrowed eyes and the destroyers got closer and closer "Gotcha!" She shouted before the Ghost entered hyperspace going right throw the middle of the destroyers.
"you wanted to speak with us" Kanan said as he and Ezra moved in the cock-pit where Ashoka was sitting alone looking out into space.
"Please, come in" she responded turning to face them.
"how you doing? Are you ok?" Ezra asked concerned for her.
"I am, thank you" she said smiling at him "I wanted to ask about the Sith Lord you encountered on Lothal"
"You know we encountered an Inquisitor before, but this was nothing like that. The fear, the anger, the hate. You felt it. I haven't sensed a presence like that since..." Kanan started.
"The Clone Wars" Ashoka finished his sentence for him.
"Yeah" Kanan said hanging his head.
"Ahsoka, do you know who he is?" Ezra asked thinking that based on the scream he heard.
"No, I don't. But I do know that he will be coming. They'll all be coming now" Ashoka said with fear in her voice but Ezra couldn't help that despite that fear, she wasn't telling the truth, at least not the whole truth.
"Then we need to be better, we need more" Ezra said with a voice of determination.
"We must find the strength to fight" Kanan said "but the greater courage is knowing when not to fight" he wisely spoke.
"And we'll be beside you either way" Hera smiled from behind the three force users as she and the rest of the crew entered the cockpit.
Sabine quarters
A few hours later after everyone could some much-needed food and drinks and a medical checkup. Thankfully everyone was fine, Ezra was very grateful for that as he was now lying in bed with Sabine wrapped around him. He was wearing Pajama pants and she was wearing just her panties and a tank top "what's wrong?" Sabine as her face didn't look up from his chest. She just looked straight forwards while her hand slowly caressed his chest, her fingers skimming his necklace.
"nothing" Ezra quickly said dismissively as he turned his head to look down at hers though all he really did was put his face against her hair.
Sabine looked up to face him, he perched her head on her elbow and looked at him sadly "Ezra" she said "what's wrong?" He asked again.
Ezra could tell by the way she spoke and the way she looks that she wasn't going to let this go and Ezra sighed because he knew she was right "it's just... I've been thinking about Tua" he said.
"Tua?" Sabine said confused tilting her head at him "Ezra, that wasn't your fault" she said.
Ezra sighed before sitting up and climbing out of the bed. He turned to see Sabine looking at him hanging her feet of the bed "I know it's not my fault" he said calmly "it's just... I promised her that we'd get her out of there. I promised that we would keep her safe and I broke that promise... how can I..." he said before stopping and placing a in the bridge between his eyes he didn't know why but this was bothering him a lot more than he thought it would.
"Hey" Sabine said softly as she stood up from the bed and gently wrapped her arms around him and held him close. Ezra didn't even hesitate and but his arms around her back and held her just as close, Sabine looked up to face him and stood on her tip toes in order to bring her lips to his "come back to bed" she whispered as she grabbed his hands and pulled him back to the bed. Ezra didn't fight it as she slowly pushing him back on the bed, he was surprised when she straddled him, he didn't think either of them would be in the mood "stay with me" she said.
Ezra gave her a sly smile "you know I won't leave anytime soon" he said back as he placed his hands on her thighs.
Sabine didn't smile back at him, she shook her head "no" she said leaning in towards him and held his face with both hands "stay with me, in my room. Take all of your stuff out of Zeb's room and put it in mine" she explained as she leaned back.
Ezra tilted his head at a moment to contemplate what she just said "are you asking me to move in with you?" He said just making sure he was understanding what she was saying.
Sabine nodded at him "yes, I love you and I don't want you to leave" she sated.
Ezra chuckled at her words "hhhhmmm, in here with the incredibly beautiful woman who loves me and who has the amazing body, who I can also have sex with" he listed earn a laughable smile from Sabine "or bunk with Zeb, who smells, snores and doesn't understand personal high gene hhhhmmm tough choice" he said sarcastically.
Sabine didn't say anything, she just decided to play his game. She chuckled before grabbing her tank top and pulling it over her head, giving Ezra a full view of her chest "how about now?" She asked with a smirk as she placed her hands on her sides.
Ezra was looking at her chest for a few seconds with smirk "well, how could I refuse the twins" he smiled before leaning up a kissing Sabine gently "I'd love to move in, across the corridor" he added.
Sabine laughed at his words before leaning in to kiss him again "I love you" she said.
"I love you too" Ezra said as his lips moved to her neck.
"prove it" Sabine said but shrieked in surprise when Ezra flipped her back on.
"yes ma'am" he smiled at her before kissing again, this time with more ferocity making it clear to both of them what was about to happen.
Ok guys, all done. Finally, this might be the longest chapter I've done in any fic before, hopefully the longness of this chapter makes up for it.
WAIT! Before you say "But Masso, you said he had his armor in the Q&A that Ezra had his armor" yes, I did say that but when I started this chapter I got an idea. I'm going to make it so when Ezra goes to Mandalore to get his mother, he can get completely new armor 'cough cough' Raven like armor 'cough' or something like that at least.
Anyway, let me know what you guy's think in the reviews or just send me a message and I will see you in the next chapter.
May the force be with you ;)
