Stubborn Ezra

Chapter 9

On the Ghost.

"Chopper is the mapping system working yet." Hera asked, Chopper made a series of beeping sounds in confirmation. "Well at least something is going right" Hera stated as she sat down in the cockpit to view the mapping systems screen.

Kanan, Zeb, and Sabine began walking down the hallway towards where they thought Ezra was. "This place has seen better days," Sabine stated as they walked by another trashed room.

"Looks like some creature wrecked the place." Zeb answered shinning his flash light at a set of deep claw marks on the wall. Kanan and Sabine walked over to the wall to examine the claw-marks.

"What type of creature could have made these marks?" Sabine asked.

"Don't know but whatever it was it was big," Kanan answered ominously. "Let's keep moving." Kanan said standing up. Zeb and Sabine began to stand up to follow. When they suddenly heard a scream followed by a growl.

Kanan shot down the hallway and came to the door that Ezra had walked through he saw Ezra lying on the ground unconscious, hopefully. A gigantic beast standing above him. The beast was about the size of the Phantom, it had black and grey fur covering its body, a long loth cat like tail, two gigantic horns protruding from its head, two glowing red eyes and gigantic fangs coming from its mouth dripping with saliva. It opened its humongous mouth ready to pounce on Ezra.

"NOOOO!" Kanan shouted as he used the force to shove the beast off his padawan and across the hanger. He rushed forward drawing his lightsaber and trying to fend off the large beast

Zeb and Sabine came into the room and saw what was happening. Sabine ran over, drawing her pistols, to help Kanan fend off the beast.

Zeb ran to Ezra to make sure he was alright, "He's alive." Zeb sighed in relief. he picked Ezra up. Kanan and Sabine were still fighting the monster. When suddenly it stopped its attacks and fled out the open hanger door. Sabine followed the creature outside watching as it fled into the ominous forest.

Kanan ran up to Zeb and Ezra sheathing his lightsaber as he approached, "How is he doing?"

"Fine, but we need to get him back to the Ghost before he gets worst." Zeb answered.

Sabine walked back into the hanger and examined the ships as she made her way over to Kanan, Zeb, and Ezra. "We could use parts from these ships to fix the Ghost." She stated as she reached them.

"We'll come back for the parts later after we get Ezra back to the Ghost," Kanan answered. As thy exited the abandoned building through the open hanger doors. Once they were outside, He radioed Hera "Specter 1 to Specter 2 we've found Specter 6 and our on our way back."

"That's great!" Hera answered with relief in her voice. "I'll see you all soon."

Later that day…

Kanan was sitting in the cockpit talking to Hera after they had gotten Ezra back to the Ghost and into the med bay. He was resting for now and wouldn't be going anywhere soon.

"So, you believe this old imperial station has the parts we need to fix the Ghost?" Hera inquired.

"Yeah it has all types of different ships there, after the storm dies down, me, Sabine, and, Zeb can head back and get the parts." Kanan answered "Then we can get off this planet and get Ezra help."

"Well as long as the station has the parts, we should be able to fix the Ghost in a day or two. And the hyperdrive is fixed so we don't have to worry about that." Hera explained.

"We'll leave as soon as the storm dies down to retrieve the parts." Kanan said as he left the cockpit and headed for the med bay to check on his padawan.

Ezra woke up feeling better then he had in the past couple days. He looked around the room he was in and realized he was back on the Ghost in the med bay. 'Well it looks like they were able to find me before I was eaten by that monster.' He thought as he sat up 'I wondered why it led me to that old building before it tried to eat me.'.

Ezra tried to move his right arm but was stopped short. He looked back to his arm and saw it was cuffed to the med bay bed. "What…" He trailed off trying to figure out why he was cuffed to the bed. He went to grab for his lightsaber but realized it was gone. He sighed finally realizing why he was cuffed to the bed. 'They don't want me wandering off again.' He laid back down figuring he might as well try and get some sleep.

The next time Ezra awoke feeling almost completely better from his illness still lying in the med bay he looked at his wrist and noticed that the cuffs were gone. So, he stood up and made his way towards the cockpit. As he entered the cockpit they launched into hyperspace.

"We made it off the planet?" Ezra questioned.

The rest of the Ghost crew turned around to look at him. "Ezra, how are you feeling." Hera inquired.

"Better." Ezra answered. They all looked at him like they did not believe him. "I'm telling the truth." He exclaimed
