Stubborn Ezra
Chapter 6
Kanan rushed out of the med bay worried that his young padawan had vanished, 'How is it that he can disappear right in front of us?' Kanan thought as he made his way through the ship looking for his young padawan. He had searched most the ship excluding the med bay, cockpit, and loading bay. 'I hope he didn't leave the ship.' He thought as he made his way to the cockpit to see if Ezra was there, and if he wasn't to see if Hera had seen him.
"Hera," Kanan started as he walked into the cockpit, "have you seen Ezra?"
Hera was so startled by Kanan's sudden entrance that she bumped her head on the counsel as she sat up to talk to Kanan. "No, I thought he was in the med bay with you?" she stated, as she stood up and looked at the ship's controls.
"He was, but I fell asleep, and now he's not." answered Kanan.
Hera chuckled before replying, "You know we can't take our eyes off of him for a second, without…" Hera trailed off as she noticed something on the control panel. "Kanan the cargo ramp is down." She stated in horror, her mind jumping to the worst possible conclusion.
"What!?" Kanan shouted in surprise as he ran out of the cockpit and towards the loading bay, Hera followed closely behind.
Ezra watched as the loading ramp began to open, he rushed to his feet painfully, and hurried towards the switch to close the ramp before what was out in the storm could get in. The Ghost shook again and knocked Ezra off his feet. As the ramp descended the creatures stopped their howling and scratching and waited. Ezra hurried back onto his feet, drew his lightsaber and waited for the creatures to attack.
The Ghost shook again from the storm waking Zeb and Sabine from their semi peaceful sleep. Zeb and Sabine stepped out of their rooms as Kanan and Hera half rushed half stumbled down the hall, Towards the loading bay.
"What's all the ruckus about?" Zeb hollered after them. Kanan did not answer he just kept on going hoping Ezra did not leave the ship.
"Ezra's missing, and the loading ramp is down." Hera said as she ran after Kanan. Sabine quickly followed after them.
"Karabast," Zeb mumbled before following after Sabine and Hera.
When the ramp had finished descending all Ezra could see were a couple dozen pair of glowing red eyes. The eyes stared at him for a few seconds then turned and ran into the dark. Ezra deactivated his lightsaber and stood there debating whether or not to follow the creatures. 'If I follow them Kanan will probably kill me.' Ezra thought as he heard footsteps coming towards him. In the end his curiosity got the better of him and he followed the creatures into the storm.
"Ezra!" Kanan shouted as he ran into the loading bay hoping his young padawan had not done something stupid. Kanan looked around frantically looking for Ezra, but there was no sign of him anywhere. "Karabast!" Kanan shouted as the rest of the Ghost crew except Ezra ran into the loading bay. "He's not here." Kanan stated, staring out into the rain and darkness knowing it was the only place Ezra could be.
"Don't worry we'll find him." Hera said reassuringly.
"Yeah we only have to search a whole planet," Zeb mumbled. Hera glared at Zeb a glare that told him to can it.
