(Hey guys, I'm coming to you guys with updates. Man, the world is changing so much since I last uploaded. As you know, the Coronavirus is running rampant throughout the world. A lot of schools and colleges are cancelling classes and/or switching to online classes while they come up with precautions for the pandemic. My college has online courses until sometime in an unknown time, but now all schools and colleges in the state are closed indefinitely. So I got some time and I am putting it to use. All for you guys. Remember to read, review and share. Also be safe out there guys.
Also, it is so great seeing Ahsoka again in Clone Wars. Seeing Ahsoka is like seeing an old friend. If you think about it, an entire generation of Star Wars fans grew up with her. You felt like you were learning the ways of the Force with her ya know. It also helps that Ashley Eckstein is just a fantastic person. Whenever she smiles, you smile too.)
It has been a few days after meeting Rex and Ahsoka agreeing to sorta train Jaden. During that time, the Rebels have been organizing and preparing a way to deliver food supplies to Ibaar. Jast is helping to get the operation under way. At the same time, Ahsoka is off on a solo mission, probably going to gain information on the Sith Lord.
Jaden in the meantime was in the center of the Ghost, writing in his dad's journal. He made it a sort of goal for himself to write in it every few weeks, to keep himself busy between missions. At the same time, Rex and Zeb were playing Dejarik, Sabine was repainting her helmet next to Chopper on the other side of the room.
As he was writing, Jaden's eyes slanted up a little as he noticed Kanan and Ezra enter the room.
"Let's end today's lesson by levitating Chopper." Kanan told Ezra.
"If I do, can I drop him?" he asked.
This causes Jaden to look over to Chopper who muttered something in Binary.
"Sure." Kanan responded.
Chopper started to mutter again. Then, Jaden's attention to Rex and Zeb, the former laughed triumphantly as he clearly won the Dejarik match.
"Chalk another one up for the clone."
Zeb groaned and chuckled.
"Takes more than brawn to win this game, big guy." Rex told him.
"Maybe I let you win, old guy." Zeb told him back.
Jaden, with a small smile rolled his eyes and attempted to get back to the journal. He then turned his eyes to Sabine. She was looking at Kanan and Ezra, and then looked at Jaden briefly, a mischievous smile then stretched across her face. She then moved her eyes to look at Chopper, she was subliminally telling Jaden's eyes to do the same thing.
"Lock it down." She whispered to the Astromech. Chopper then murmured in acknowledgment, and then locked himself to the ship's floor.
Jaden then turned to Kanan and Ezra, the latter looked like he was preparing. The blue haired boy then stretched out his arm, trying to levitate the droid. He was struggling, and Kanan took notice of this.
"Come on Ezra, focus." he told his apprentice.
Chopper was shuddering, but not lifting. Ezra was trying harder.
"Focus. Use the Force. Look through the Force. Lift Chopper up, picture it in your mind."
After struggling for a little bit more, Ezra finally gave up.
"I can't. I... I can't do it." he admitted in defeat.
Jaden started to laugh, doing his best to hold it back. This caused Ezra to give him an intimidated look. This made it harder for Jaden to hold back his laugh.
"Hey, kid, while you're looking through the Force, don't forget to look with your eyes too." Rex spoke up, "The droid's got his feet locked down."
At that point Sabine started to laugh as Ezra began to realize what had happened. "It's not fair." he says with a sigh.
"Real battles usually aren't." Kanan told him.
"Don't worry Ezra," Jaden says with a cheeky smile on his face, "There is a whole galaxy full of things to lift." This causes Sabine and Zeb to start up laughing again.
Once the laughter died down, Rex spoke up. "The Jedi general I served combined the Force with his wits and it made him a great warrior."
This was getting Jaden's attention; he is eager to learn about the history between Rex and Ahsoka during the Clone Wars. He had heard many different things about the Clone Wars over the years. He knew from the journal that his mother and father fought during the war. He also knows that the clones turned on the Jedi, leading to the decimation of the Order. His father believed that somebody, the Sith must have manipulated the clones. Jaden wasn't sure what to think of Rex at first but given how he acts with the rest of the Rebels and having Ahsoka vouch for him, Jaden is starting to trust the veteran a little.
"Ezra's got plenty of wits. What he needs is more discipline" Kanan tells the clone in a challenging manner.
Jaden and Ezra both knew that Kanan had certain feelings towards Rex. Jaden couldn't fully blame him. From what Ahsoka told him in private, Kanan was only a kid when the Jedi Order was destroyed.
"Well, then you better let a soldier handle that." Rex tells him.
"Excuse me?" Kanan says back.
Before the argument could escalate further, Hera came into the room, holding a datapad.
"Sabine, Jaden, I have a mission for you two and Chop. Thanks to Captain Rex I've found an old base where we might be able to salvage some much-needed medical supplies." she tells them.
"Zeb."
Zeb looked up.
"You should go too." She tells him, causing the Lasat to nod in agreement.
"Better find the med supplies quick, Captain Wits is about to need them." Kanan says hostility while facing Rex.
Jaden did nothing but roll his eyes before leaving his journal on the table and went up the ladder to the Phantom with Sabine, Zeb and Chopper. All the while, he can hear Kanan and Rex arguing about discipline. Once they were all in, Jaden heard somebody else coming up the ladder. Turning around, he sees Ezra.
"What are you doing Ezra?" Jaden questions. "You weren't assigned to this mission."
Ezra crossed his arms. "I assigned myself. I'd rather deal with the dangers out there than stay in the crossfire here."
"You say that now." The two young Jedi look at Sabine who was in the Phantom's pilot seat. She then detaches the Ghost, and she punches in the hyperspace coordinates. The Phantom then jumped to hyperspace.
Not long after…
The Phantom dropped out of hyperspace. They arrived at their destination, it was a faded white and maroon colored space station.
"What is this place?" Ezra asked in awe.
"It's an old Republic medical station. It was abandoned after the Clone Wars." Sabine tells him. She then proceeds to fly the Phantom to the side of the station. Once they reached the docking bay, she typed in Rex's input code. The hangar bay doors slowly started to open.
"What do you know? Rex's codes worked." she commented.
She then piloted the ship into the hangar. Once landed and the hangar bay doors close, the team exits the shuttle. Jaden got a good look at the area. This place was old and falling apart. But luckily, the Empire does not seem to have anything set up here.
Chopper proceeded to mutter. This causes both Ezra and Jaden to look at the droid.
"Oh, come on Chop, it's not so creepy, just dark. Nothing we can't handle." Ezra tells him.
Jaden kneeled to the droid and rubbed his sides "Don't worry buddy, you'll be alright."
As they went to the door at the end of the hanger, towards the door, Zeb gave Ezra a confused look. "Wait, you actually understand that glorified beeping garbage can?" he asks.
"Yeah, sort of. I'm learning." Ezra tells him.
Sabine is at the door controls, trying to get them to work.
"Yep, I was afraid of this; no power."
Zeb steps forward. "I'm on it."
He then proceeds to grab the crease in blast doors and open them up manually. The rest of them proceeded to go through the door and Zeb then followed. The hallway was in no better shape than the hanger and it was extremely dark. It is clear that the station was falling apart. They needed to find those supplies.
They made it to the junction in the hallway. As they made the corner, Sabine stopped at the junction wall and proceeded to tag it. This went unnoticed by the rest of the group, who were moving up without her.
Ezra then turned around and noticed Sabine was lagging behind. "Sabine, hurry up" he called out. This causes the rest of the group to turn around and see that she was not there.
"I'll get her, you guys keep going." Jaden tells the rest of the group as he goes back down the hallway. Ezra nodded and he, Zeb and Chopper went in the opposite direction.
As Jaden went down the hallway, he heard something. He could be wrong, but it sounds like… chittering. But all in all, Jaden dismissed this. 'It is probably just the station creaking.' he thinks to himself.
He then finally finds Sabine, who was looking with her flashlight down the opposite end of the hallway. Before he could reach out and touch her shoulder, he took a look at the wall. He saw Sabine's signature Starbird on the wall.
"Nice work." He says reaching for her. With that Sabine screamed and quickly turned around to see the Corellian flight suit clad Jedi.
The Mandalorian grunted in frustration. "Jaden!" she screamed at him.
Jaden put up his hands in an apologetic gesture. "Sorry."
Sabine just sighed and walked with Jaden to rejoin Ezra, Zeb and Chopper. Upon catching up with them, they reached a big circular room. There were wires hanging from the ceiling, with an old holotable in the middle of the room. The team began to examine the room.
"Well, this is the command center" Sabine says, "or what's left of it."
"This might make a good base for us." Ezra tells her as she walks to the main, old, degraded computer terminal.
"No way Ezra." Jaden protested. "Look at this place."
"Jaden's right. This place looks like it's about to fall apart." Sabine agrees as she takes off her helmet and puts it on the console. "Chopper, power it up."
Chopper rolled over to the computer terminal and plugged himself in. Suddenly, all of the lights in the station turned on at once.
"I didn't mean the whole station; I meant this control panel." she tells him as Chopper chirps back.
Jaden took the opportunity to look down the hallways. There was debris all over the floor, wiring hanging out of the walls and ceiling, all illuminated with yellow lighting. He then imagined what the place must have looked like during the Clone Wars. 'Did Mom and Dad ever go to stations like this during the Clone Wars?' he asks himself. He then turns his attention back to the others.
"Ok Chopper, shut everything else off except for this one terminal." Sabine tells him while she was typing on the computer.
The droid acknowledges and turns off the power, save for the computer. She then turned to the rest of the team with a confused look on her face.
"Hmm. I've got the inventory files, but most are corrupted, unreadable. Can't tell where the med supplies are or if they even exist." she tells the rest.
"So, change of plans then." Ezra tells them, "Chopper stays here and repairs the files while we search for the supplies." He then ignites his lightsaber.
"Well, it's worth a try, I guess." Sabine agrees.
As the team started to walk towards the hallway, Jaden came up with something. "Guys"
They turn around to look at him.
"You guys go on ahead, I'll stay here with Chop."
"You sure?" Zeb asks.
"Yeah, Chop looks like he could use the company."
Chopper muttered in defense.
"You do too." Jaden tells him back. "You're shaking in your shell."
"Alright." Sabine tells him. "But if anything goes wrong, call."
"Don't worry. Blue milk run right?" Jaden asks her with a reassuring smile.
"Right." she says back with a small grin on her face, as the other went down the hallway into the dark.
While they were gone, Jaden and Chopper went back to the terminal. As Chopper plugged himself back into the computer, Chopper muttered something in droid at Jaden.
"Right, you weren't scared." Jaden tells him back.
Chopper mutters again.
"Look, it's gonna be fine."
But he could not shake something. He had the strange feeling that something was off.
Then suddenly, there was a sound. It was a crashing sound coming down the hallway. This causes Chopper to shudder. Jaden moved towards the hallway. "Chop, stay here alight?" he tells the Astromech.
Jaden took out, ignited his lightsaber, and went down the hallway. He made it to another T-junction. He then heard another crashing coming from his right. He then proceeded down the right hallway looking for the sound. As he is looking, he fails to spot Chopper, who was looking for a sound of his own, and goes down the opposite hallway in search of it.
Jaden is making it through a hallway that is filled with discarded pieces of metal and discarded crates. Using his saber as a flashlight, he raised it a bit higher so he could see more around him. While he was doing this, Jaden could hear a faint chattering sound.
He looked up at the ceiling, nothing was up there, at first. But at the very corner of his eye, he saw something small go into the vents. 'What was that?' he thought to himself.
Jaden did not get a good look at the thing, but he knew that it probably wasn't friendly. Deciding to alert the others, he pulled out his comlink.
"Chopper come in," he calls.
No answer.
"Sabine, come in,"
Still nothing.
"Ezra, Zeb?"
There was silence, until he heard a... BZAT!
This caused Jaden to immediately turn his head. It was blaster fire, coming from back down the hallway.
"Oh, Poodoo." he cursed himself. With his lightsaber still ignited he ran down the hallway. As he was running, he heard more blaster fire and the sounds of sabers clashing. No doubt Ezra was engaging with somebody, possibly the Sith Lord. If that were true, he had to hurry.
As he made the right at the next junction, he saw Ezra and Sabine running towards him.
"JADEN!" Ezra screamed to him.
"GUYS! What's happening?!" Jaden screamed back.
But before the three of them could meet, a figure walked out of the doorway between then. The figure looked at Ezra and Sabine at the right, then looked at Jaden on the left. Jaden got a good look at the Figure. He had grey skin and pure white eyes. He had a head-piece and armor with an Imperial insignia on it.
The figure then moved closer towards Jaden, he ignited a red lightsaber and had a grin on his face, showing off his filled teeth.
"Guys run!" Jaden yells to them, as the Figure lunged towards them as their sabers clashed. The figure was strong, but nowhere near as strong as the Sith Lord. Overpowering Jaden, the Figure pushed him back a fair distance.
As they were fighting, Jaden saw Ezra and Sabine go down the other hallway, being pursued by a masked woman in a similar black uniform, with three small spider-like droids, armed with a Double-Bladed lightsaber.
Knowing he needed to help his friends, Jaden attacked full force, entering another saber class with the enemy. But the figure was not having it. Using the Force, the Figure got a grip on Jaden and pulled him towards him. When they were close enough, the figure Force-pushed him back with maximum power into the wall at the end of the hall. This caused Jaden to violently smash the back of his head onto the wall. After the initial shock, Jaden slumped to the ground. He was losing his consciousness. The last thing he saw was the Figure approaching him. Then everything went black…
After a short amount of time, Jaden was starting to stir awake. His head was killing him. It felt like it was pounding. His vision was returning to him. He saw that he was back in the command center, and was sitting on the floor, propped up against the leg of a table.
"Ugh..." he groaned in pain.
When his vision came back, he saw Ezra, who in turn was looking at him with a worried look on his face. He was propped up against the decommissioned holoprojector.
"You alright?" Ezra asked worriedly.
Jaden tiredly held up his hand in a "yeah" gesture. But then he heard the familiar chattering again. This time it was coming above him, going across the table he was propped up against. He looked down and saw that both of his lightsabers were gone. He then felt something crawl down his right arm and go onto his chest. It was the small, black, red eyed, spider droid. Its eye was zooming in on Jaden, examining him. It was chirping while doing this. But then Jaden felt that there was somebody else in the room with them.
"Aw, did somebody hit his head?" a female voice called out.
Jaden looked to his left to see the woman who attacked Ezra and Sabine, this time without her mask. She was a yellow skinned Miriallan. But the thing that caught Jaden's attention was her yellow, burning eyes with black pupils.
The woman then moved closer to Jaden, kneeling next to him, looking at him at eye level, with a sadistic smile stretching across her face. Jaden could not stop looking at her eyes, they were extremely unnerving.
"I already know about him." she says looking at Ezra, and them back to him. "Now I get to learn about you."
Jaden then noticed that his lightsabers were clipped to her waist.
"What's your name?" she asks him.
Jaden knew better than to give her his real name.
"Rollin." he tells her.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Should I?"
"Let's just say, I'm part of an order that is VERY interested in people like you, and you've met my master before."
Jaden's eyes widened. The Sith Lord was her master. He had the horrible feeling that he was going to die here.
"You're here to kill us?" he asks.
"I have no plans to kill you. Not yet anyway." She tells him with the sadistic grin still on her face.
She then lifts out her hand and puts it near his face. She then uses the Force to focus on his mind. Jaden suddenly felt a shock in his head. He was in so much pain, tears were starting to come out of his eye. Inside his head, it was like marble scraping against steel. Jaden knew that she was probably looking for information. He was giving it all his will to protect the secrets.
"Stop!" Ezra yell, witnessing the torture.
"Now tell me." She starts, "Where is Ahsoka Tano?"
Jaden could not believe the question; they were looking for Ahsoka. He could not let them find out about her.
"Who?" he tells her.
She stops, stands up and is still smiling. "You have a very beautiful, resilient mind, Jaden."
Jaden's heart sunk. She figured out his name while rooting around in his mind.
"And by all accounts," she continues unclipping his lightsabers from her waist "You are a dual-wielder too." She then ignites both of his lightsabers; the blue and green lights were shining off all three of their faces.
"Understand this Jaden. The potential that you possess is too good to be wasted by the Jedi. If you come with us, our master can teach you both how to harness your power, show you how to truly use it. You could be so glorious. Besides, there are no more Jedi anyway."
Jaden was getting upset now. "You are wrong. If people like me and him survive." referring to Ezra, "The Jedi survive."
She then gets a disappointed frown and points his own lightsabers at him. As she inches the blade of the sabers closer to his throat, Jaden notices his attacker coming into the room with a worried Sabine in tow. He then pushes her to the ground next to Ezra.
"What has the boy revealed?" he says, looking at Ezra.
"Nothing I wish to share." the woman tells him.
"And the other one?" the man asks.
"He knows something. They both rejected our offer." She then turns to Ezra and Sabine, while the man looks at Jaden with murderous intent.
"Contact your rebel friends and bring them here." The woman threatened the Padawan and the Mandalorian.
The man ignited his red lightsaber and moved towards Jaden. Jaden said nothing while looking at him intensely.
"Contact your friends." the woman threatened Ezra and Sabine again.
"I'm not talking to you right now." Ezra told her. He then looked at Sabine. "Sabine, where's Zeb."
"We tried to fight, but Zeb never had a chance." She says with a regretful look on his face.
"What are you saying?" Ezra asks.
"Your friend is dead." the woman teased.
While Ezra and Sabine felt despair, Jaden was feeling angry. He was still looking at the man with an intense stare, showing that he was not backing down.
The woman then looked at him, with that same twisted smile on his face. "Aw, is somebody getting angry." She teases him in a baby voice.
"Stop toying with us." Jaden spat back. "Just get it over with already."
As the woman moved closer to him, a voice came over Ezra's comlink. Upon hearing the voice, the three hostages instantly felt relief.
"Hello, Spectre 6. Come in. Do you read? This is Commander Mayloorun."
It was Zeb. 'Mayloorun? Like the fruit? I love those things.' Jaden thought to himself.
"Answer him." the man threatened Sabine.
The three rebels did not know what Zeb was doing. But given the situation that they were in, they decided to play along.
Sabine talked into the comlink, "Err, Commander Mayloorun, yes, yes, I can hear you."
"I missed your check-in." Zeb spoke back. "Am I correct in assuming mechanical difficulties have got your craft stranded again and you are in need of help with repairs?"
Ezra and Sabine paused for a little bit.
The woman was becoming impatient. "Answer him."
Sabine spoke again. "Commander, we, uhh, we can handle everything. No need for you or the others." The man, becoming just as impatient, went to Sabine, grabbed her head up, and held his saber against her throat. He was primed to decapitate her.
Jaden's eyes went wide. He did not want to see them die. The woman, still with his own lightsabers in her hands, went over to Jaden, and placed both in a v-lock around his throat. Ezra's eyes went wide as well, he knew that if he did not do what they wanted, his friends would be killed.
Thinking of the safety of his friends, Ezra relented and spoke into the comlink. "No. Commander, we changed our minds. We could use some help. Bring Kanan and… better bring Ahsoka too."
The man deactivated his lightsaber and let Sabine drop to the floor. But the woman did not give up on Jaden so easily.
"Very well. Meet you in Bay 6. And don't worry, we'll fix everything. Just keep your chin up and it'll all be fine." Zeb responded.
Upon hearing this confirmation, the woman, still having a sadistic smile on her face, deactivated Jaden's sabers. Jaden was safe… for now at least.
"That wasn't so hard, was it." The woman told Jaden directly to his face, while clipping the sabers to her waist. Jaden said nothing. He just met her gaze with intensity and anger.
The next thing he knew, his hands were then bound just like Ezra and he was forced onto his feet by the man, and the two Force-sensitive Imperials herded the three captivated rebels into the hallway. They were being led to the hanger bay where they came in.
"Once we have the others, we'll dispose of them both...very slowly." the woman chimed as she opened the door to the hanger bay.
As they entered the bay, the hanger doors opened as well, revealing space before them. All this time, Ezra was thinking about the hidden message Zeb had sent.
"Chin up, chin up, what does that mean?" He then looks up. "Oh"
"What" Jaden asked silently.
Erza made a 'look up there' gesture with his eyes. Sabine and Jaden looked up to the hanger ceiling. It was Zeb and Chopper, in the Phantom, magnetically locked upside down onto the ceiling. Zeb was giving them a thumbs up, telling them to be ready.
But as they noticed this, one of the woman's spider probes that was monitoring them noticed it too. Mere seconds later, the woman noticed the ceiling shuttle too. Realizing that his cover was blown, Zeb quickly detached the Phantom from the hanger ceiling.
"Go!" Sabine yelled as the two Force-sensitive Imperials were distracted. Ezra, Sabine and Jaden ran to the other end of the hanger. Zeb opened fire at the two, causing them to ignite their saber and deflect the oncoming in relation.
Seeing an opening during the distraction, Ezra used the Force to pull his lightsaber off the woman's belt. Jaden followed suit, Force-pulling his two sabers of the woman's belt as well. They both activated them.
This didn't go unnoticed by the woman; she and the man were moving in to engage them. Zeb, not letting this happen, moved the Phantom between the two groups to provide his friends some distance. He continued to fire at the two Imperials.
As Zeb was swinging around, Erza, Sabine and Jaden made a break for the Phantom. Zeb opened the back door and they jumped in. Once they were inside, Zeb made a break of the hanger gate, but the Imperials were not having it. They both grabbed the Phantom with the Force, suspending it in mid-air. The woman then used the Force to slowly close the bay doors.
"The doors are closing!" Zeb yelled at the controls.
Sabine pulled out her blasters and started to fire at Imperials. The man stopped using the Force and started to deflect her shots. Leaving the woman to hold it herself.
"I can't hold it alone!" the woman yelled at the man.
Taking the opportunity, now that the hold was weakened, Zeb floored it. This jerked the woman forward and she fell. The Phantom was now free from the Force-grip.
"Zeb, fly now!" Jaden yelled. And Zeb did, the Phantom flew out of the hangar and away from the station, free and clear.
Now that they were clear, Ezra, Jaden and Sabine felt relief. Jaden went to the pilot seat where Zeb was. Upon making it there, Jaden thankfully put his hand on Zeb's shoulder. "Thank you, Zeb."
Zeb smiled. "Let's not get all emotional, it wasn't a big deal. But I did save both of you and got some medical supplies by myself."
Chopper chirped in droid language, causing Zeb to turn to face him.
"Yeah, you helped a little, Chopper."
Something was still clawing at Jaden's mind. He needed some answers about what just happened. He then turned to Ezra.
"Ezra, who were those people?" he asked.
Ezra got a look of his face; it was a look of impending dread. "They're Inquisitors. They are trained to use the dark side to hunt down Jedi."
"Jedi hunters." Jaden said in disbelief, "The Empire has Jedi hunters."
Ezra nodded morbidly. Zeb and Sabine also had morbid expressions on their faces too.
"Before we found you, we encountered an Inquisitor before. Apparently, he was the Grand Inquisitor. Kanan took him out during the Battle of Mustafar. We thought that was the end of it."
Jaden took a moment to process the information, he was able to put it together. "The woman said that her master will teach us how to truly use the Force. It can only be the Sith Lord we faced."
Ezra nodded. Everybody in the Phantom knew that this wasn't the last they would see of those Inquisitors. They need to prepare, they need to be on alert, they need to be ready. And with that realization, Zeb put the Phantom into hyperspace.
Not too long later…
The Phantom dropped out of hyperspace and approached the fleet and docked with the Ghost. Once locked in, the team went down into the ship. They were met by Kanan and Rex playing a game of Dejarik and Hera, who was sitting studying her datapad.
Ezra slid down the ladder first, followed by Jaden, Sabine and the rest.
"Ezra, we need to talk." Kanan started.
"Yeah, we do," Ezra responded, "about the two Inquisitors we just ran into"
Kanan and Hera got up surprised. Neither of them were expecting to hear the word "Inquisitor" again.
"Inquisitors?!" Kanan exclaimed.
"Yes, two." Sabine explained. "We got lucky, Zeb saved us; without him, things could have been bad."
Zeb came down from the Phantom with a crate of medical supplies. Rex gave him a respectful nod. "Well done, soldier."
"It was a group effort." Zeb told him, putting the crate down. "Those Inquisitors are nasty business. Kanan, why didn't you tell us there were more of them?"
Kanan gave them a look. It was a mixture of 'I don't know' and pure shock. Hera saw that he was having trouble finding the words for this, so she moved in. "Commander Sato is going to need a full report on this." she tells them.
"Well, we did get the medical supplies...some of them." Ezra said, to look on the bright side of this situation.
Hera came in close and patted Ezra on the shoulder. "That's good news. I'll meet you four on the command deck."
The four of them proceed to leave the Ghost, but Jaden stopped at the doorway. He looked at them with worry in his eyes. "Guys, they knew about her. They know about Ahsoka."
Kanan got a worried look as well. "I'll tell her." he assures him.
As Jaden left the Ghost, he was met by the other three. They all looked at him with the same level of concern as previously.
"You alright?" Sabine asked.
"Not really." Jaden told her. "Come on, let's go." They then proceed to the command deck.
A little late…
The Phoenix Fleet was in hyperspace. Ezra, Sabine, Zeb and Jaden were giving their mission report to Commander Sato on the bridge. Hera was also present.
"This is very troubling. The Empire must be extremely determined to destroy us if they are to send more Force-sensitive agents." Sato said, contemplating the situation at hand. "But we cannot allow this to deter us from our cause."
There was another question picking at Jaden's mind. "How are we on the supply run to Ibaar?"
Sato nodded. "We are working with another Rebel cell and Jast has been in contact with the Ibaar Rebel Network leader: Eesh Fahm. We have almost got an operation set up. Once the final preparations are set, we will make our move."
Jaden nodded back. This was good news. He really wanted to help his friend and his homeworld.
"But now, we have a new matter to deal with." Sato continued, "After some time, Captain Syndulla and I have found a new planet to take root on."
"Where?" Ezra asked.
"You've been there before." Hera told him, he then turned to Jaden. "Except for you Jaden."
Then there was a beeping on the bridge's nav-computer.
"We're here." Hera tells them.
The Phoenix Fleet dropped out of hyperspace. Ezra and Jaden went to the command decks window. Before them was a purple-grey planet. Ezra immediately recognized their new home.
"Jaden," Ezra began. "Welcome to Garel."
