Both Kanan and Ezra were outside the ship waiting for Jaden to arrive. They saw him coming up the hill, journal in hand and wearing the necklace from his home. Both walked toward him to greet him. "Ok, I'm ready." The 19-year-old replied.
Jaden looked up at the ship before him. This caused him to raise an eyebrow. "I expected something, not junky."
"Hey, The Ghost isn't pretty, but it's home. Come, I'll give you the tour." Ezra replied, guiding Jaden inside.
Turning the corner, Jaden bumped into someone, as he turned around, he heard a very stern voice.
"Hey, watch where you're going you little…" the figure said before he cut himself off. He looked down seeing the 19-year-old in front of him.
Jaden was looking up to see a figure with purple fur and bright green eyes, while also wearing dark green armor. He recognized his species.
"Zeb, this is Jaden." Ezra said walking up the ramp.
"Jaden, eh?" He looks toward Kanan. "He is the one you saw in your dream?" He asked.
Kanan nodded.
"He going to join our little rebellion." Ezra comments.
Zeb, looking back down at Jay cracked a smile and reached to shake his hand. Jay naturally extended his hand to shake it as well. They shook.
"Garazeb Orrelios, call me Zeb."
"Jaden Sha. You're a Lasat aren't you?" he asked.
Zeb ears perked and looked at Jaden with a semi-serious expression on his face.
"My father used to tell me bedtime stories when I was a kid. About his master and his going on a mission to Lasan many years ago. He thinks of the Lasats as heroes." Jaden says looked at the Lasat before him.
"Well, he sounds like a smart man." Zeb replies patting Jaden on the shoulder.
Turing his attention back towards Kanan. Jaden was lead higher up in the Ghost. Reaching the bridge, they were greeted by the ship's captain. Getting up from the captain's seat, Jaden got a good look at her. She was a green Twilek, wearing an orange jumpsuit, with a pair of flight goggles on her head. She turned around to greet Kanan.
"Glad your back love. It feels good to be back home. Did you find him."
Kanan turning behind him. "Yep, Jaden, this is pilot, Hera Syndulla."
'Syndulla, is she…?' Jaden thought to himself.
Hera stretches out her hand to sake with a smile on her face. "Nice to meet you Jaden, always nice to have another body in the fight."
Jaden shook her hand back, returning she smile with a small tinge of curiosity.
"Glad it can help. Are you by any chance related to Cham Syndulla?"
Hera then had wide eyes as she and Kanan looked at the 19-year-old.
"How do you know my father?" She asked him.
Jaden sat down in one of the four chairs in the cockpit, looking at her. "Cham is a living legend. My cousin Numa is one of his freedom fighters in the "Free Ryloth" rebel movement. He has come by our village many times in the past. He is a great leader, and a better friend. He knew my father. My father helped take back Ryloth during the Clone Wars."
"Jaden's one of us, Hera." Kanan says as Ezra also walks in, with a astromech droid rolling behind him.
The droid started with a series of beeps and whirs. This causes Ezra to look between the two of them.
"Well, I guess now is as good a time as any, Jaden this is Chopper. Chopper meet Jaden.
Chopper then started buzzing and clicking at the newcomer.
"Hey that's not very nice." Jaden responds.
This caused Chopper to buzz and beep again, this time in surprise. Ezra got a surprised look as well.
"You can understand him." He asked.
"Oh yeah. Our village have pretty low-tech droids. A lot of them spoke Binary. Among other things."
"Such as?" Kanan inquired.
Jaden began listing them off. "Binary, Huttese, Twi'leki, living on Ryloth you kind of have to pick it up, and a little bit of Falleen."
"Your Dad?" Asked Ezra. Jaden nodded.
"Impressive." Hera says nodding. Then Chopper started buzzing again, sounding a little aggravated.
"I meant low tech as a complement." Jaden responds. This causes Chopper to roll away buzzing to himself.
"I don't think he likes me." Jaden tells Ezra.
He responds by crossing his arms and smiling. "It's ok, he doesn't like anyone. Come one, let me show you to your bunk."
Jaden followed Ezra out of the cockpit, turning a few corridors, to where he would be staying. The door opened and Jaden got a good look at his bunk room. It was a small yet spacious room with a table and two chairs on the left side, and two bunks stood on the right. But what caught Jaden's eye was the color. There was an enormous amount of color in the room. It was a burst of bright oranges and yellows splattered across the walls of the room in various designs.
"Sorry about the mess, Sabine is a very creative." Ezra said.
"Sabine."
"That's me." A voice replies behind him.
Jaden turned around and sees a girl in Mandalorian armor coming into the room. She had a pair of blaster pistols were holstered to each of her thighs and her gloves and boots were spattered with blue and orange paint. While her armor and helmet was magenta with orange highlights.
She then takes of her helmet, revealing something that really caught Jaden's interest. It was her hair. Her beautiful blue and orange highlighted hair.
'Whoa' Jaden thought to himself.
"So, you're the new guy huh?" She said.
"Yeah, Yeah, Jaden." He told her.
Sabine looks down at his hip to see two lightsabers clipped to his pants. Ezra noticed this as well.
"Two lightsabers?" He asked.
Jaden looked down pointing at one his right. "This one is my saber." He says, he then pointed to the one on his left. "This one is my dad's."
"So, you're going to join our little family." Sabine says with a semi smug smile on her face.
Jaden nodded sharing a smile with her, as he then felt the ship start to take off. He then started to make his way towards the cockpit, where Hera and Kanan were. He sat in the chair behind them. He watched as the Ghost was leaving the atmosphere, heading into space. He had only been off-world a handful of times in his lifetime, so space travel was still kind of a fresh experience to him.
"Making the jump." Hera says, as the view of the stars turned into white lines as the ship goes into hyperspace, jumping away from the Ryloth system.
