Ezra hummed in peaceful bliss as he felt Sabine's body grind against his. The warmth of her back agasint the heated front of his own, his hand was calmly resting right in the middle her breasts. Her hair tickled his nose as the scent of it filled him with peace. A smirk slowly formed on his face as he could feel his cock nestled snugly in between her ass cheeks, the tip of it just peeking at her entrance. Without even thinking about it, his mouth opened, and he began to kiss and suckle at the back of her neck 'she tastes so good' he thought to himself. He didn't know if she was awake or not, but Sabine hummed in pleasure as she somehow moved further back into him and moved her head to side allowing him better access to her neck.

He didn't have the words to describe last night, it was incredible, they both climaxed multiple times. Everything was just so great, as Sabine road him her breasts moved in perfect synch waving at him like clouds in the sky. He could have sworn they were glued together at one point when he trusted into her while kissing her neck and fondling her breasts.

Maybe it was the understanding of each other, maybe it was a new level of trust between them after Sabine told him what happened to her and why she was here on the Ghost now. He couldn't help but wonder what that meant between them, he needed to break it down in order to help himself understand what's happening between the two. Sure, he could use the Force to peak a little inside her head. Well, he could try, he hasn't really got to that part of Force training yet so it probably wouldn't work.

Besides even if he was, he wouldn't break Sabines trust like that. So, breaking it down. Fact, they love each other. Fact, they live together. Fact, they know everything about each other. Well he hoped they did; he didn't have any real secrets from her and based on lost night he didn't think she had any more from him. I mean he doubted that she was hiding anything major from him after what she admitted last night.

In all honesty he didn't know what it was changed things between them. It might have been something he didn't know about, something he didn't notice, it could have been the new level of trust Sabine showed for him. And he didn't really care, his feelings for Sabine skyrocketed and he loved her all the more for it, it almost made him not want to leave.

And he did consider it, not because of wanting to stay with Sabine. Though that was a big reason but the bigger reason was because he wasn't sure he wanted anything to do with the people who treated their own like that. He sighed mentally already knowing that he couldn't just let this go, he needed to know what happened to his mother, not to mention he had some questions of his own.

He opened his eyes and he was met with a sea of light blue, what made it even better was the smell that matched the colour. He took one more look at her before leaning back from her body, turning around he saw the rest of their room and was reminded of the bliss they shared with each other. He slowly started to back away from her but as he pulled his hand away from her chest, she grunted in annoyance before reaching out to his hand and pulling it back though this time his hand was firmly pressed against her right breast.

He let out a sigh with a smile before leaning down and pressing a kiss against her cheek and pulling his arm away from her grip. He stepped off the bed and landed on the ground with a small thud, looking back at her thankfully she was still asleep.

It only took him a few minutes to grab his clothes and get changed, looking at himself in the mirror he brushed a strand of hair out of his eye reviling the scar that the Grand Inquisitor gave him. He reached down a gripped his Light-saber before clipping it to his belt, along with his spare blaster. Looking back to the bed he saw that Sabine still didn't stare in her sleep and he wasn't really surprised, hell after the amount of orgasms she's had Ezra doubted she would up until mid-day. He took a deep breath before turning to the door.

As he stepped out, he made his way to the common area to get himself a cup of caf. Entering it to find it empty, though he really wasn't surprised considering it was early in the morning. Poring himself a cup, it didn't take long to drink. Only a couple of minutes, once that was done he made his way to the cock-pit hoping to find someone. Thankfully once he entered, he said Hera calmly sitting in the pilot's chair with her own cup of caf "hey" he said taking a step forward towards her and sitting in the co-pilots chair "you're up early"

"ha" Hera said rolling her eyes at him "well it's not like I had much of a choice" turning to face him with that 'look' some people give "considering sleep means some how not hearing what you and Sabine where up to" she frowned.

Ezra chuckled at her before turning to face the window "yeah, sorry about that" he said.

"no, you're not" she quickly said with her own smirk.

He couldn't help but laugh a little bit more at her words "yeah, I'm not. But I am sorry we kept you up. But I wanted to give Sabine a good memory before I left" he said.

"left?" Hera asked turning to face him with a confused look. There was a moment of silence before her face changed to one of understanding "you're leaving today" she stated.

He nodded at her "I can't wait any longer" his voice had a solemn sound to it "I don't want to go but I can feel, in my gut, she's in danger" he looked down and sighed "I know I haven't seen her in a while but…. She's my mother"

"hey" she reached out and placed a hand on his shoulder "I get it, families important. If you think that now's the time, that's your call"

"about that" he turned to face her with an awkward look "you remember that conversation we had a while ago before I was taken, about me borrowing the phantom when I was going?" he asked.

Hera couldn't help but roll her eyes at him "yeah I remember" she stood up "come on, the least I could do is see you off" she smiled. Ezra smiled back before standing up and heading after her "so what is your plan exactly?" she asked.

"well, Mandalore's under heavy imperial occupation so going straight there in an identified rebel ship is out of the question. I was stuck for a minute, until Rex and the clones gave us the locations of the possible base locations and some Mandalorian bases" he said as they stopped at the ladder which led to the Phantom "thankfully there's an old base on Concord Dawn. A plant in a star system near Mandalore. I'll head there and hopefully I could an unlisted ship or hopefully someone who can help me get on the planet under the radar" he stopped and looked up the hatch "you guys going to be ok without me here to watch your backs?" he joked.

Hera couldn't help but give him a very sarcastic "ha ha. I think we'll manage. It's you I'm worried about" she reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck. He could feel Ezra freeze slightly as she rested her head on the shoulder and held him tight, it was a moment before he did the same with her. Wrapping his own arms around her waist and held onto her as well "just… just be careful, ok?"

He nodded agasint her, his cheek pressed agasint hers "I promise" he pulled away "just try not get into too much trouble while I'm away" he turned towards the ladder and started to climb up.

"one more thing" Hera said as he reached the top, he turned around just in time to catch a small device that she throw up.

"what's this?" he asked looking at it closely.

"it's a two-way locater beacon" she explained "so when your done, you'll be able to find us"

Ezra nodded at her "right, thanks" he turned and headed for the cock-pit.

"and Ezra" she said, he turned and looked down the hatch "good luck" she said.

There was a moment of silence before he nodded down at her "oh, and when Sabine wakes up, she's gonna be pissed I left without telling her" he pushed a button and the hatch began to close "so, you know. Trytocalmherdown beforeIgetback!" he said quickly before the hatch closed.

Turning around he headed for the pilot's chair before sitting down before he disconnected the Phantom from the Ghost and plotted in the course, with a flick of a switch the Phantom rocketed into hyperspace.


It was around two hours later that the ship was ready to leave hyperspace, taking a deep breath he pulled back the switch and the ship dropped out of hyperspace in front of a broken world. And he meant that quite literally as half of the planet was shattered, derbies of large boulders and rocks only hanging there suspended in space by nothing but small amount of gravity that the rest of the planet had left.

'Beep, Beep, Beep'the console warned him. He took a deep breath and did everything he could to try and calm his nerves as he looked out the window and saw three ships he instantly recognized, three Kom'rk-class fighters. Very nasty pieces of works, shields, hyper drive, powerful weapons you name it. Say what you want about them but Mandalorians know how to build ships and weapons and… well anything related to war.

Looking around he could see that one ship stopped in front of him while the other two took positions behind him, creating a triangle formation with him in the middle. Leaving no way out.

'attention unidentified vessel' a voice spoke through the com 'this is Fenn Rau, Protector of Concord Dawn. You are trespassing in Mandalorian territory. Identify yourselves'

"here we go" Ezra couldn't help but mutter to himself as he pressed the com "Protector, I come with no hostile intentions"

'Ha' the voice chuckled 'I don't here that often, why are you here?' he asked.

He straightened his back and spoke with a deeper voice "that is something I will discuss with the clan leader, and the clan leader only"

There was a moment of silence through the com 'is that so? It's not often that we come across someone who knows our ways. I'll ask again, who are you?'

Ezra frowned slightly "as I said, I will only discuss this with your clan leader"

'you're already talking to him' he closed his eyes "shit" he muttered.

This wasn't how things where supposed to go, one of the main parts of the plan was to land on the planet so in case things didn't work out peacefully he could fight for what he wanted, on the surface, he was confident he could do that but in space. The Phantom was a good ship, but it didn't stand a chance agasint them 'now I'll ask you this one more time. Identify yourself'

"here we go" he said to himself as the surface of the planet was getting closer "my name is Ezra Kryze, clan and house Kryze. And I seek information regarding lady Bo-Katan" he admitted.

The static coming from the other end of the line was deafening, he honestly had no idea what was going to happen next. He didn't know enough about the modern politics of the clans to know who was friends with who but the last time he checked which was when he asked Sabine. At least according to her his mother was highly respected by a lot of the clans, so this was a complete fifty/fifty on how they would react to that.

'well, I'm not going to lie. I wasn't expecting you to say that. It's a shame really, I do have a great amount of respect for lady Katan, but unfortunately if you who you say you are, then you're a wanted criminal of the empire who is worth a lot of credits and I act in their name' Fenn said before the com was cut and he saw his ship pull back and flew away over him.

"shit" he cursed as he took evasive manoeuvres, avoiding the blaster fire from the ships "ok, think think think" he said to himself as the Phantom began to rock side to side "land" he said as the Phantom began to move at top speed towards the surface of the planet "come on, come on aaahhhhh" he shouted as a bolt struck the wing of ship. Causing a small explosion to occur in the cockpit on Ezra's right side.

The front of the ship began to heat up with an orange glow as the ship entered the planets atmosphere "come on, hold together you piece of shit" he cursed as another blast smacked agasint the back of the ship causing the entrance hatch to fall off along with the thrusters.

The wind and smoke from the fire and atmosphere filled what was left of the ship, the sound of fast wind and blaster fire made it impossible to hear the warning sounds and notices of counsel. The smoke from the fire and the glare from the blinding orange light from outside practically blinded him. He tried desperately to get whatever control he had left in order to steady the ship but all the went when another blast smashed into the left wing "FUCK!" he shouted as the Phantom began to spin uncontrollably.

Being able to see that the orange glow had subsided, and he could tell that they where still very high up but still in the atmosphere which meant he could now breath at least. Turning around he could just about make up the shadow of a ship lining up directly behind him. His eyes widened as he realized that the ship was lining up for a final shot. Acting completely by instinct he unclipped the belt around his waist and ran, three steps into the run he jumped out the open ship.

To Ezra it seemed everything was happening in slow motion, his feet left the floor of the ship. He saw two identical large yellow blaster bolts fly past his head; he could feel the heat from them almost burn his face. He caught a glimpse of the bolts hitting the chair of the ship and going through the console. The Phantom exploded with a large blast of fire. A large piece of metal heading straight for his head and it hit him with a force.

His mind went blank and all he could feel something fly past his body, he didn't know what it was, but he did recognize the pain he was feeling. He's been knocked out before and it's never been a fun experience, it was a moment between awake and asleep. Like that moment when you first wake up of morning, that second before you remember who and where you are.

Doing everything he could to try and wake himself, all he could do is barely open his eyes. All he got was a white blare from the outside, he couldn't hear anything, just that buzzing 'Ezzy' a distant voice said 'Ezzy' it said again a little louder, the one thing Ezra couldn't help but focus on was that it sounded like the same voice that used to put him to bed when he was younger "EZRA!" it shouted again.

Ezra's eyes shot open and his mind came back to what it was not even two minutes ago. He felt a burning pain in his stomach, but he couldn't focus on that, in front of him he saw nothing but the dark purple sky of the broken planet. Realising what was going on, he turned himself around, so he was facing the ground, which was getting closer and closer. Doing everything he could to calm his mind and not panic, something very difficult to do when you where falling to the ground god knows how fast.

The ground was approaching faster and faster, he didn't know what to do. He could try to cushion himself with the forces, but he didn't know whether or not he was strong enough with it to save himself. Then he saw it, a large cliff, it was a long shot, but it could work. Doing everything he could to reposition himself towards it as he fell. He waited as it got closer and closer, until the last second. Then he acted.

He reached for his belt and grabbed his saber, activating it he plunged the saber into the rock. The G-force from slowing down that suddenly caused his body to swing and collide with the rock "AAAAAAHHHHHH" he screamed feeling his back being shredded by the friction. Turning his head, he saw the ground approach, using whatever strength he had. He pushed his hand out and used the force to soften the inevitable blow, now that the cliff had slowed him down enough. It was just enough to save him.

He hit the ground with a thud, his head colliding with the ground knocking him out cold.


He had no idea how long he lied there, hours? Days? He had no idea. All he knew was that, when his eyes opened all he saw was the dark night sky and the countless stars of the galaxy. His mind was a blank, he wasn't sure what his own name was. He didn't know what to do because he definitely has a concussion, maybe two considering he banged his head earlier.

His head rocked side to side as trying to get a sense of what was happening, he tired to sit up "AAAHHH" he yelled as he felt a large sharp pain in his lower body, lifting his head to see what was happening. Ezra's eyes grew heavy and he sighed seeing a medium sized piece of shrapnel sticking out of his side, around where his kidney was.

His head dropped and he took a lot of deep breaths, he didn't feel the pain of the stab wound yet. He's a smart person, he can tell that he doesn't feel the pain yet because his body was still in a small state of shock. He knew that he needed to do something about it, but he just wanted to rest a minute while he had the best pain killer in the galaxy running through his system.

That was until he felt his back getting wet by something, slowly moving his hand to his side as whatever it was began to leak out around him. Lifting his hand back up he saw it was red. He sighed again, it was his blood, his back was bleeding.

He needed to move, otherwise he wouldn't last much longer here. He sighed knowing full well that this was going to hurt, a lot. Turning to face the left of him he saw his Light saber 'I must have dropped it when I fit the ground' he thought to himself.

With a ground he turned on his side and faced the saber. Reaching his arm out slowly, he used the force to pull the saber a few more feet towards him. With it firmly in hand he returned to resting his back agasint the ground, he breathed in and out, long, strong breaths for around thirty seconds before he gripped the edge of the shrapnel. His breaths became quicker and quicker until he pulled with all a strong tug, he ripped the metal from his body, it took every ounce of his will to not scream out loud at the pain.

He didn't need to look down to see that he was losing blood quickly he started to take another round of rapid breaths, one after the other knowing that he wasn't going to stop himself from screaming this time. His thumb pushed the button and his saber activated, the blue glow from the saber did a good job of lighting the area around him. He couldn't think about it, he knew he couldn't, if he did, he would convince himself not to do it.

Taking one last breath he plunged the edge of lightsaber into the bleeding wound "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" he screamed as the heat from the saber began burn the wound sealing it shut, his eyes rolled up into the back of his head and just before he felt the himself about the pass out he pulled it away. His breath uneven and barely holding together as the pain slowly started subsiding.

"force, force, force" he muttered to himself remembering that Kanan said the force could be used to heal injures or act as a type of pain killer "yeah, that is not happening" he said knowing full well he wasn't able to do that.

Grunting to himself he turned on his side and tried to pick himself up knowing that if he stayed here much longer, he might be picked off by some predator, at least the bleeding in him back has stopped or at least dried up. He held his hand agasint his side trying to ignore the pain as much as he could. But he realized his jacket and shirt were useless at this point, he pulled on the front of it and since the back was completely shredded, it just fell forward and landed on the ground. It was at that point he was just thankful that the remains of the planet was close to the systems sun so at least it was warm.

"ok, ok" he said to himself looking around his surrounding "think, think, think" he needed a plan.

Based on what he knew about the planet it was mostly deserted expect for a few outposts, the problem being he didn't know where they were.


He didn't know how long he's been walking, a good few hours easy. Since it was a lot darker now then it was before. Sure, it was still dark but that can be put to the planet being ripped in half, he wouldn't be surprised if there were some parts that never saw sunlight. He wasn't going to lie; he was a little scared. He was completely alone with no food or water and the chance of him actually reaching the base those ships came from was next to none.

Though after a few hours of walking he decided that it would be best to follow what Kanan's been teaching him for a while now, trusting in the force. He reached out, did his best to open himself to it, to feel it, to let it guide him. Which is what he did and if it worked out he was going to take Kanan's lessons much more seriously, he was also going to take some extra time do to something nice for Sabine, it's been a while since they've done something romantic, a smirk formed on his face while he remained himself that incredible sex was technically romantic. Well, it could be romantic to some. To him it was a form of love but romantic wasn't the word he would use.

Regardless he trusted the force and it paid off. As the sun began to set, he found his way to the top of a large hill, though as soon as he stood at the top, his eyes widened and he dropped to his stomach "AAHH" he grunted forgetting about the wound on his side "fuck" he muttered before ignoring it and turning his attention to what was in front of him.

About a mile away, he could see a small encampment. Around four make shift war tents and ahead them was a bigger metal structure he would guess was a command centre for the area. But it was what was in-between which got his attention the most. Six fully ready Kom'rk-class fighters, he didn't know why but he saw sure that it was the same ones that attacked him earlier. And if it was then there was a high chance that there were more on patrol around the system. With so many ships it would by wise to think that there where at least twenty protectors for the whole encampment.

He needed a plan here and there where a few things he could do, the first though was to remember that he was here to get to Mandalore undetected. He could do that a few different ways; the two primary ways would be to convince the leader he spoke to before to get him through. Or look around the base for the landing codes he would need to bypass the imperial check points around Keldabe, he didn't know that his mother would be in Keldabe but since it's the capital city. It would be a good place to start. They had good merits, if he did this peacefully then he would have a much better chance of knowing where she was. If he sunk in and stole the codes with a ship, he would get a really useful ship and that would be good for the whole crew. Not to mention with a little modification the back of the ship which was used to carry troops could be converted into a nice bedroom area for him and Sabine for more privacy. Which would be really nice.

Well, either way he would need to wait for the sun has gone completely down in order to sneak over. Which guessing by how dark it was now would only be an hour or too.

As he sat there, thinking about what he was going to. He couldn't help but wonder what he was going to say when he met her. He's spent so much time wondering how he's going to save her and wondering how much danger she's in that he's never really thought what he was going to say. How could he prepare for that conversation?

Before he even realized it, the sun had gone down and now was the perfect opportunity to do something. Standing back up he grabbed the handle of his lightsaber and unclipped it, he knew that this was gonna come back and bite in the ass really hard one day but as he stepped closer and closer to the base his mind only went for one of the plans in his head. These guys shot him out of the sky, despite knowing why he was here, blew up the Phantom in the process and the most damning, they work for the empire 'you know what? Fuck'em' he thought to himself as he made his way to the edges of the base.

In front of him he could see two people in full Armor standing guard, with another step they turned and saw him approach. They raised their weapons, two pistol blasters each and aimed at him "hold, identify yourself!" one of them shouted while the other brought his finger up to his ear and said something. No doubt calling for backup. Ezra didn't care, he pressed the button of his saber activating the blue blade. That alone caused them to lower their weapons in hesitation for a moment, which is just what Ezra needed. He lifted his other hand and grabbed the man with the force, as he was lifted into the air Ezra pulled the man towards him with a speed that surprised even him. As the body neared him Ezra span swinging his Saber cutting the man in half, in doing so he pulled his pistol from his belt and aimed it at the other. With a single shot a bolt was fired and went straight into his head killing him.

There was a brief moment of silence before Ezra found out that there was no point in sneaking around. As all the lights in the base lit up and a loud alarm began to sound all around him, knowing that he was out numbered Ezra sprinted forward in order to avoid getting pinned down. It didn't take more then a few seconds before people began to exit the set-up war tents and their eyes where immediately drawn the large blue light and began to fire.

He saw them coming of course and with everything he's learnt, Ezra used his saber skilfully as it moved from side to side deflecting each bolt though when he felt himself getting overwhelmed as more people began to fire, he took cover behind some creates next to one of the fighters.

The firing didn't stop as he took a moment to take a couple of breaths, then he acted. With the force to aid him, he jumped up it the air high above the creates with a spin. He blocked a few more bolts, one even getting sent right back at the one who fired it. With his blaster he aimed and fired, the bolt sailing threw the air landing right in the neck. By the time Ezra's feet hit the ground so did the dead bodies of two enemies.

With a force augmented dash, he moved towards the others, his saber impaled one through the chest, span around and slashed another's chest with the small guard blades at the hilt of the saber. Turning to the left he saw at least six guards all running towards him firing as they did. He jumped up and did a back flip over the fighter but as reached the opposite side he extended both his feet.

They hit the ship with a very powerful force that not only dented the side of it but pushed it towards his enemies at a fast speed, Ezra didn't see what happened but based the ships landing gear breaking causing it to fall to the ground completely and hearing a scream which was cut off by a squelching sound, he had a strong idea.

He got back to his feet, there was a silence around the area, but Ezra knew it wasn't over. He knew there was more to it, feeling the force speak to him he quickly turned around and blocked another incoming bolt. He didn't immediately fire back, however. Looking the person who fired, he could immediately tell that the person in front of him was Fenn Rau. Not because he could recognize him but because of the symbol on his helmet, in the middle of were his eye-brows would be.

Not everyone got the opportunity or had the right to deface their Armor like that. If they where a freelancer and didn't spend time around other Mandalorians often you could get away with it. But if you're part of a tribe or clan like the protectors then only someone who the others believed has earned the right are permitted to do something like that, which is usually the clan leader. Behind him were nine different guards, all of which had their weapons trained on him. Knowing there was a chance this will head into a fight without conversation, he took his own stance.

He aimed the blaster right at the leader and his saber did the same only that his arm was pulled back and above his head. It was similar to a Soresu stance "it's interesting" the leader said and Ezra could tell it was the same voice he heard over the com before "on the radio you showed you know are ways, you knew about the clans, houses, even now I can tell that is one of are blasters"

Ezra couldn't help but tilt his head to the side "and yet you still shoot me down" he growled.

"that couldn't be helped" Fenn quickly answered "I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, let you land and explain yourself"

"so why didn't you? I didn't want a fight"

"because you told me your name" he spoke his blaster not even flinching "I told you that I and the protectors answer to the empire and they placed a very high price on your head"

Ezra frowned and his grip on the saber tightened "you know this weapon" he said calmly slightly moving his saber side to side "you know what it means"

"it means that if you speak true and are one of us" Fenn said interrupting him "then that weapon proves that you're a traitor to the people of Mandalore"

At that Ezra couldn't help but roll his eyes slightly "be that as it may. Nothing is going to stop me from completing my mission. You are smart man, you wouldn't be in your position you are now if you weren't. So, you know there's only two ways this is going to end if we fight. One way is that we fight, I kill a handful of you before you manage to kill me. The second way is that we fight, I kill all of you, quite brutally I might add because you've really pissed me off. I step over your cold corpses, go into one of those tents, take a shower, some medical supplies, new clothes. Then I take one of your fighters and go to Mandalore myself"

At the Fenn lowered his blaster though only by the tiniest fraction, it wasn't the threat that made him hesitate, it was the coldness in his voice, the soulless stare behind his eyes "or we could do something I think we both might won't to do" he added. Some of the guards behind him started to give each other the smallest glances "you told me that you have a great deal of respect for lady Katan, was that true?" he asked. There was another moment of silence, all he or anyone could hear was the sound of the wind, slowly Fenn nodded "then do her this favour, her live is in danger, I have it in very good authority that an attack is being planned to take kill her" that was something that got everyone's attention. The small stares where now full-blown head turns the dropping of some weapons.

Fenn however took another moment before reacting, he lowered his weapon and placed it in its holster. He then proceeded to take off his helmet showing his face to everyone, there eyes locked onto each other for a moment "who are you?" he asked.

As he heard the question asked, Ezra lowered his weapons though he still kept the saber active "I told on the com before you shot me down, my name is Ezra Kryze, I'm…..." he froze for a minute arguing with himself wondering whether or not he should say it but after another moment he folded "I'm her son" at that everyone recoiled.

Fenn looked at him with a face of shock, he opened his mouth but found himself seemingly unable to speak "So, Fenn Rau of Concord Drawn. How is this going to end?" he asked hoping that answer was a peaceful one.

Ok Guys, good to be back. Sorry for the long wait but I've been busy with my other stories and life stuff. Anyway, please let me know what you think about the first free made chapter of the story that hasn't followed an Epsiode from the show.

And if you haven't guessed it this is a two parter and I'm looking forward to writi…... typing the next one.

I'll see you guys in the next chapter.
