I just wanted to say one thing about my story. This will go through Episode 4, 5, and 6. This story will show how much the rebellion truly relied on the crew of the Ghost, even through those episodes. I just wanted y'all to understand where I was going with the story. Anyway, here's chapter 6!

The cave was filled with light from the suns of Tatooine. Most of the crew still lay asleep, resting for the day ahead.

Ezra woke first. He was awakened by the pain of his soreness and weakness in his body. He blinked his eyes, trying to visualize what was around him. He saw Kanan and Zeb both near what was left of the fire. Hera was on the opposite side of the fire, while Chopper stood in the entrance to the small cave, most likely in stand-by mode. Ezra knew the droid should have been on watch, but he didn't care.

He leaned his head back against the wall of the cave, shut his eyes again wanting to resume his sleep. He did until he realized a pressure on his chest. Just before he moved, he looked down to see Sabine's head resting on his chest, asleep. Both of her arms were around him while his right arm was also around her, and his left lay at his side.

He attempted to move his left arm, trying to change positions. Once he did this, a sharp pain in his shoulder made him flinch and made him let out a small yelp.

He then heard Sabine take a deep breath in and then let out a small moan. Her eyes flickered open, and then her body started to move.

Ezra knew he had just woke her up. He felt sort of bad about it.
Sabine then looked up at Ezra and smiled. She scooted up closer to him to where she was more sitting than laying next to him. She then rested her head on his shoulder as he then rested his head on hers.

"Are you okay, you know..after what happened yesterday?" She asked.

Ezra thought, until he finally answered, "Yea, I'm fine." Unconvincingly.

"Liar." She said with a smile.

They sat next to each other for couple more minutes, savoring the moment.

Sabine broke the silence, "Listen, if we..ya know..are gonna be..together…" Sabine couldn't finish her sentence, due to her nervousness.

"I don't think we can let anyone know. At least not yet." Ezra finished, taking the smile off his face.

At this point, Kanan started to wake up, then Zeb too.

Sabine quietly got up from where she was sitting, then acted like just too had gotten up.

Ezra sat there, just wanting to fall back asleep.

Kanan stood up then said, "Alright, we need to head out."

Zeb grumbled, "What are we even looking for exactly?"

"Someone that can help us. Anyone that can help us."

Hera at this point was awake, due to all the speaking.

After the crew had gathered what remained of their supplies, (Which was very little) they left the cave. Ezra was still barely able to walk, but he insisted that he could do it. He walked with a very hard-to-notice limp in his left leg. They then began walking in the canyon they were in once again, resuming their walk from the day before.

The walking was rigorous. The more they walked, the hotter it seemed to get. Dehydration was starting to kick in after they had used up all of their water from what they brought. Their mouths were dry, the sweat rolling down their faces, all except Zeb of course who felt like he was on fire. The walls of the small canyon started getting more narrow.

As they kept walking, they heard a rumble. A group of small rocks fell down the side of the canyon.

"False alarm." Kanan chuckled.

They walked a few more hundred feet and turned a corner. Kanan, who was in front, stopped in his tracks as he saw four Banthas, sitting in the canyon.

Kanan wondered why they didn't get startled after they saw him. The others behind him wondered the same question.

Kanan then realized why they were there,.

"Oh no." he mumbled

"What is.." Hera tried to finish until a laser bullet flew past her face.

They looked from where the bullet came from, seeing a large group of Tuskin Raiders hiding behind some rocks in the walls of the canyon shooting at them. They couldn't find cover, so they were left out in the open. Then, more came from behind them. These Tuskin's rushed them with long staffs of junk-metal. Kanan used his lightsaber to cut some of them down, while the rest fired blaster, which ended up being useless.

The crew was outnumbered. They knew that the best idea was to give up.

The Tuskin's communicated to each other in untranslatable grunts and screams, while the crew stood there, hands half-way up in the air.

"No one say anything." Kanan whispered

"You're the only one saying anything." Ezra said back

"Shut up Ezra!" Kanan said a little bit louder.

"What are they talking about?"Sabine asked

"Knowing Tuskin Raiders, they are debating two things. That's which ones will be good to eat, or which ones look like they could be sold as slaves." Kanan finished

"Oh goody." Sabine said sarcastically

"Don't worry, I've got a plan." Kanan said

"Oh really? I'd love to hear O' fearless leader." Ezra snapped back

"What I meant was, I'm thinking of a plan." Said Kanan

Just as he finished, they all saw the Tuskin's look into the distance, exiting the canyon.

None of them saw anything, but the Tuskins sure did. They soon looked around in a panic, trying to pick up their weapons and leave. They even leaved two of their Banthas trying to run.

"What was that?" Hera asked

"Should we be afraid if they are?" Zeb asked

"I'm not even sure what they're scared about.

They all looked into the distance. They saw a figure. Looked dark and large, almost like they were wearing too much clothes.

They stood there, watching the figure come closer. They soon realized it was a person wearing a large robe. It was worn out and a dark brown. The hood still covered the person's head.

At this point, the crew had picked their weapons back up and was ready to use them again. Kanan held a blaster instead his lightsaber, which he was going to use at a surprise if the figure attacked.

"Who are you?!" Kanan yelled.

The hooded figure stopped. He then raised his hands and said, "I mean no harm."

He then pulled his hood down, revealing an old wrinkly face with grey hair and a grey beard.

The crew felt very relieved. They lowered their weapons, and walked towards the old man.

"Wait, why did the Tuskin Raiders run from you?" Hera said stopping where she stood.

"I didn't see any Tuskin Raiders, but if they did see me, they must've been scared of the hood." The Old man smiled.

"Well, thank you." Hera finished.

The Old man looked around, examining the group.

"You look lost. Why are you out here so far into the Desert?" the Man asked.

"Our ship was having engine problems, so we had to land." Kanan told him.

"More like crash." Ezra said

The old man smiled, "Come with me, I have a small hut near here, I can help you fix your ship."

They followed the old man through the desert for a few more minutes, until they saw the hut.

"What's your name?" the man asked looking at Kanan.

"Kanan, what your name, might I ask?" Kanan said

They then reached the door to the hut, and he opened it.

The man turned around and looked at Kanan and answered, "Ben."

Yes I know, short chapter, but I was trying to get SOMETHING posted. I just hate the feeling of having to write but not having the time. But anyway, I thought the ending was awesome, how about ya'll. Tell me what ya'll think or what you would kinda like to see in future chapters. Anyway, just remember, 'May the force be with you.'
