Stubborn Ezra
Chapter 3
The Ghost was plummeting towards the unknown planet. Everybody had sat down, buckled up, and were hoping they would somehow get out of this alive. As the Ghost approached the planet with ever increasing speed. Luckily for them they had the best pilot at the helm, if anyone could get them out of this mess it was Hera. The Ghost was approximately 1000 meters above the surface of the planet, which was more like 750 meters because of the height of the trees. Hera was desperately looking for a place to land as the meters ticked down, and the Ghost couldn't gain altitude because of the blown engine. Then she saw a small glimmer of hope as the Ghost was mere meters from the top of the trees. The Ghost made it to a clearing, but just barely. The landing was very rough and bumpy.
"Everyone OK?" Hera asked as she looked around.
"Yeah." grumbled Zeb.
"Fine." Sabine answered.
"Never better." mumbled Ezra.
"Where are we?" asked Kanan ignoring the question.
Everybody had moved to the cockpit window to see what type of planet they had landed on. The clearing they 'landed' in was surrounded by gigantic trees. "I don't know," stated Hera, staring at a map, "this planet doesn't seem to have been discovered."
"Soooo..." Sabine exclaimed "we discovered a planet. AWSOME! Right Ezra?" She figured the kid would be stoked about the fact that they had discovered another planet. She looked to where Ezra had been standing, but he was gone. "Ezra?"
"where'd the kid go?" Zeb asked looking around the Cockpit. Chopper started to make a lot of grumbling and beeping sounds. "What the rust bucket say?"
"He said the ramp is down," answered Hera looking at the control panel to confirm what Chopper had said, "and he's right." Kanan had already left the cockpit and was heading towards the ramp, figuring that Ezra had just gotten curious. The rest of the crew also followed him.
Ezra was curious, but that was only half the reason he left the cockpit. He didn't want the rest of the crew figuring out he was sick they already knew something was up. He broke out into another coughing fit. when he was done he continued walking towards the forest edge. He wanted to know how tall the trees were, and he was thinking about trying to climb to the top of one, when another wave of dizziness passed over him, and he almost collapsed.
He stood still for a minute and herd the rest of the crew coming up behind him. He heard Kanan ask him something but couldn't quite make out what he said. He tried to move forward, but ended up toppling over, but he realized that he wouldn't collapse to the ground because someone had caught him then he blacked out.
