Chapter 7
"Chopper! Chopper, where are you?", I shouted once I entered the Ghost.
"Beep, beep?", beeped Chopper.
"Everyone's been captured! It's up to us to rescue them", I explained.
"Beep? Beep, beep boop", answered Chopper.
"Hera told me it was better if I came here instead of getting captured", I said.
"Beep, boop".
I nod and start to follow him, "Good idea Chop".
We walk into the cockpit and Chopper gets a key.
"What's that for?", I ask.
"Beep!".
"No need to be rude. Just show me how this is going to help", I said, rolling my eyes.
Chopper rolled out of the cockpit and went to Hera's room. Not this again.
We walk in and he heads to the closet… Does he know about the..?
"Beep, boop, beep!?"
"Somethings missing huh?", I said scratching the back of my head, "I might know about that. Follow me".
Chopper beeped angrily behind me, but followed me anyways. I went into Sabine's room and I could already hear the scolding I would get from Hera. And the potential black mail from chopper.
I brought the box to the floor and showed it to Chopper. Chopper took the key and inserted it on the lock to open.
When did we close the lock?
"Beep?"
"Don't ask questions Chopper", I said.
The box opened and Chopper quickly went to pick out the blueprints, "Beep".
"This is where they're being taken?", I say confused, "How do you know this?".
"Beep".
"Fine, I'll talk to Hera", I said, "If she survived…", that's right, she was shot.
"Beep"
"How can you not be worried?", I asked baffled.
"Beep", I guess he's right, Hera has been in worse situations. At least from what I'm told.
Chopper then went out and headed back to Hera's room. What other secrets hide in that room?
Chopper came out and gave me a dagger, some yellow pills and a syringe with a green liquid.
"What will I need this for?", I said.
"Beep. Beep beep boop beep bop", Chopper then proceeded to explain what I should do, where I should go and that I am definitely going alone. Also, not to say anything about what I saw to anyone until I talk to Hera.
"How do you know all of this?", I ask him.
He just rolls away.
I walk out of the ship and start to head in the direction Chopper told me to go. It was surprisingly far away, considering what Chopper knows, it's almost like we purposely landed in this area.
Everything starts to look and feel familiar. Then I got to the river. The same river in my vision. I don't like this, will that creepy girl show up again? I hope not.
I jump to the other side and make sure now one is here. Then I keep on walking until I make it to the boulder. Troops, that's not good.
It seems like they're distracted, it must be because they are fixing things. They get called away and leave the exit unguarded for a minute.
How convenient. I rush in and start running through the empty halls. Hopefully everyone will be in town right now.
Where am I even running to? I stop in front of a door. Maybe it's the white room.
I open it and, "Who's there?", asked Kanan, standing up.
It wasn't the white room, but I found Zeb, Kanan and Sabine.
"Kanan? It's me, Ezra. I'm here to get you out".
"Ezra? How did you get past security?", asked Sabine.
"He didn't", said Lab coat guy.
"Run!", I exclaimed running back from where I came from, hoping my crew would follow me.
Indeed they did and soon we were running to freedom, until guards stopped us. I tried to use the force, but I couldn't.
"Kanan?", I started.
"I don't know what's happening either Ezra", said Kanan.
I pulled out my lightsaber. At least I still had my weapon.
The guards responded by throwing the ball thing again and deactivating it. Great! What am I supposed to do now?!
"I suggest you stop right there. We need new specimens and you seem like the perfect ones", said Lab coat guy.
"Please, hand in your weapon and come with us. We don't want to knock you out again", he continued.
Well, my lightsaber isn't working anyways. I hand over my lightsaber to one of the guards and back down.
"Good. Follow me, this should be rather interesting", Lab coat guy said as he walked off.
"Welcome to your mew home. Hopefully, you'll be able to live a long, permanent life here", he said.
That's certainly a strange thing to say. It's like my vision stated. Does that mean I have to burn this place down?
"I was surprised to find you here. That a gives me an even bigger reason to suspect someone in town has been helping our enemies", he continued.
We walked into what looked like a waiting room, "You'll have to be tested and taken accounted for. Maybe the Emperor will want to personally arrest you, that will help keep the lab open".
"Who are you?", asked Kanan.
"I'm Doctor Direen. Some would say the craziest person in the world. Don't worry, you don't know who I am and before you ask. You're here to revive 'The Soldier Project', not a creative name if you ask me", he explained.
"The Soldier Project? What are you trying to do, make an army of clones?", mocked Sabine.
Dr. Direen just smirked, "Not exactly. We want to create invincible soldiers".
No wonder the lab got closed down, that sounds ridiculous.
"So an army of Jedi?", responded Zeb.
This is a terrible idea.
"Actually, there was one successful replica that wasn't a force user, at first", the Dr. answered, "Of course every other failed test weren't force users".
This is bad. Really bad.
"I need to prepare the room for your examinations, so if you excuse me", the Dr. said before walking into another room.
The guards had stayed outside the waiting room so we were completely alone.
"What's the plan?", I asked.
Funny, considering I was the one that came prepared.
"I'm not sure kid. They are more prepared than I anticipated", said Kanan, "They likely have weapons that are experimental and extremely powerful. That's how they took us out so quickly".
"Well, we have to get out soon before they lock this place down. They're still bringing things in, so the front door is basically open to anyone that can find it", I said, "So first things first, we have to find Hera. I don't think it's a good idea to leave and then come back".
Please still be alive, please!
"Ezra. She bleed out from the blaster wound", said Kanan sadly.
Well that's just great! Am I still supposed to use the syringe then? Now's not the time to be sad, I have to get my crew out and to safety. I'm the only one with a plan.
I stay silent at Kanan's response and look around the room, looking for a vent to escape from. Nothing.
The door opens and out comes psychopath. I look at him, and he stares at us.
