Enjoy reading! :D


- So, what's the plan? - Ezra aksed.

- I've stunned the captain in the arsenal a several minutes ago, so we don't have much time left - Daxar said seriously - Can you walk yourself? - he asked Sabine.

- I don't think so - Sabine answered shaking her head, she'd collapse to the floor without Ezra's help.

- Then we have to let them think, that we're transporting a prisoner - Daxar replied.

Sabine and Ezra were lucky that Kerrick hadn't ordered his crew to give them prison suits, then the escape would have been more complicated. The captain decided to interrogate them immediately, he'd order them to change clothes before the second "meeting" .

- Stand against the wall and pretend that you are handcuffed. I'll call a guard - Daxar told the rebels.

- Why? - Ezra asked confused.

- You'll see - the lieutenant said emotionless.

Ezra and Sabine did what he asked, then Daxar left the cell.

- Soldier! Come here, I need your help with those two - Daxar said with a loud voice.

Soldier came immediately to the lieutenant. When he entered the cell, Daxar grabbed his blaster and stunned the stormtrooper, who fall to the floor. Fengris put the gun in his holster and approached the lying soldier, then he took off stormtrooper's helmet.

- Take it - he told Ezra, handing him a helmet.

Ezra grabbed the helmet, he wasn't still sure what Daxar is planning to do.

- What do you want to do? - Sabine asked the lieutenant.

- Ezra will be a soldier, who leads a prisoner, meaning you, to a shuttle for transfer. I'll put you in a handcuffs, we cannot create any suspicions about our action.

- Handcuffs? No way - Sabine objected firmly - What if they'll realise what we're doing? I'll be defenceless!

- Don't worry - Daxar said raising his hand to calm her down - I'll put you in a handcuffs as loosely as I can, so that you'll can free yourself by jerk.

Sabine had to think about it for a moment. She wasn't clearly convinced about that idea,

- So be it - She replied, but her reluctance in the voice was strong.

- What about our weapons? - Ezra asked.

- I took your satchels too, so you'll hide your wapons from look - Daxar replied.

- But what if somebody will stop us? - Ezra asked.

- Leave it to me, I'll deal with it - Daxar answered - Do you want to add something?

Ezra and Sabine shaked their heads to let him know, that they know everything they need.

- Then let's go, we don't have time to waste.

The rebels took their satchels with their weapons, then Sabine turned away to get cuff, Daxar did it as loosely as he could. She hated the moment, when she cannot grab her blaster. Ezra put on the helmet, took the guard's blaster in right hand and grabbed with a left hand Sabine's arm to lead her and help her walking.

They left the cell, Daxar was first, behind him were Ezra and Sabine, then the cell's door closed.

They chose the shortest way to the hangar. Stormtroopers didn't pay attention. They began to thought that they will escape without any problem.

Suddenly:
- Stop! - Said stormtrooper guarding the entrance to the hangar, he rised his hand as a sign of stopping.

They stopped. 'Of course it couldn't that easy...' Daxar thought and appoached the guard, taking a formal attitude.

- What is the problem? - Daxar pretending to be irritated by detention.

- Sir, where are you taking the prisoner? - He asked the lieutenant seriously.

- I received an order to transport the prisoner to a shuttle for transfer. Something's wrong? - Daxar asked.

- But Sir, we received an order from the captain that prisoners have a total ban on leaving the ship, unless he personally leads them - Soldier replied.

- I didn't get any information about that - The lieutenant asked hiding his worrying.

- Did you, Sir? We received that about 15 minutes ago.

Daxar was unpleasantly surprised. Kerrick seemed to have sent an order to prevent any action to release the prisoners... just before going to the arsenal, where Daxar stunned him. Fengris couldn't know about it. That was hard situation. He couldn't convince the soldier to let them pass, because everyone in the 'Wyvern' respected every captain's order.

'I must stun him, then we'll run to the shuttle' - he thought. Daxar prepered himself to grab his blaster, but suddenly Ezra approached them leaving Sabine leaning against the wall. Jedi took off his helmet and rose hand to the guard.

- You will let us go to the shuttle - Ezra said using mindtrick.

- I... I will let you go to the shuttle - Stormtrooper said.

Ezra put on his helmet and backed to Sabine. The three walked past the guard and went towards the ship.

'That was close...' Daxar thought with relief.

They were about 3 meters from the stormtrooper. Suddenly Daxar heard the guard's words "Yes, captain?", he was using his communicator in the helmet.

Their cover was burned.

Daxar turned to the guard, grabbed his blaster and stunned the stormtrooper.

- Run to the shuttle! - He yelled to the rebels.

Sabine and Ezra were so surprised by Daxar's reaction, but they didn't want to discuss about that. Sabine immediately jerked and freed from handcuffs. The team of stormtroopers appeard in the entrance where was the guard stunned by Daxar. Everyone began to run.

Ezra grabbed his lightsaber and were trying to deflect incoming fire, but it wasn't easy with one hand - he was still helping Sabine. She grabbed her blaster too, but she hadn't clean shot. They were moving as fast as they could, but it looked like they are too slow because of Sabine's problem with walking.

'We will not make it this way' Ezra thought. Ezra had an idea. They stopped, he took off his helmet, threw it away and turned off his lightsaber, then he took her in his arms.

- What are you doing? - She asked surprised. She thought about the moment, when he will carry her like that, but the circumstances were not conducive to romance.

- Just blast them! - Ezra replied and ran towards the shuttle.

Sabine began shooting to stormtroopers. She had better view to blast soldiers, she even got one, but then she realised that they aren't main target, that was Daxar, who is pinned by fire behind some crates.

When Ezra and Sabine were a few stepps from the shuttle's ramp, Ezra got shot in his right side.
He shouted in pain but he kept balance.

When they get on the ramp, Ezra left Sabine close to the wall, so she could lean against it, he held the side he was blasted in.

- Are you alright? - Sabine asked worried, shooting to stormtroopers.

- I'll be fine, where is Fengris? - Ezra asked, he ignated his laser sword and began deflecting shots.

- He got pinned down in half of our way - Sabine replied.

Ezra saw Daxar's postion. The lieutenant was behind some crates under heavy fire of stormtroopers. He was trying to stun someone with his blaster, but without effect.

- Sabine, go to the cockpit and prepare the ship to escape, I go for him! - Ezra said.

- Take this - Sabine saing giving him a paint bomb - it's a paint bomb. Please, hurry up - she added and went to the cockpit.

Sabine was still sore, but she had to go despite that. Ezra run towards Daxar deflecting lasers, then he hid behind the crates. He deflected two shots hitting stormtroopers, but then came another squad to help. Then there was more stormtroopers than at the beginning.

- We have to move - Ezra said to the lieutenant.

- We are under heavy fire, do you have an idea how to escape? - Daxar aksed.

- Yeah, I have this - he replied showing him the bomb.

- eh... I don't want to kill anybody - Fengris said confused.

- Don't worry, it is a paint bomb - Ezra replied.

- *sigh* Okay, throw it, fast! - Daxar said with loud voice because of approaching stormtroopers.

Ezra threw the bomb to soldiers. When the paint bomb exploded blinding the shooters team, Ezra shouted "Run!", then they ran towards the shuttle as fast as they could. The ship was ready to fly.

They entered the ship's ramp, stormtroopers opened fire again.

- Sabine, get us out of here! - Ezra yelled to her defending them from blasters.

The ramp closed, then Jedi and lieutenant went to the cockpit, Ezra sat in the co-pilot seat holding his wound, he had to catch a breath. The hangar door began to closing but Sabine managed to fly out at the last minute. When they flew away from the Star Destroyer to the right distance, they jumped into hyperspace.


Everyone breathed a sigh of relief...

- We are safe... for now - Sabine said.

- Can they track us? - Ezra asked.

- No, this is that ship which we got there - Sabine answered.

- There was a hell... Thank you for help mister ehm... - Ezra cut off, he couldn't believe that he forgot his name.

- My name is Daxar Fengris - he said giving him a hand.

- My name is Ezra Bridger, but I think you know - he replied shaking his hand.

- My name is Sabine Wren, thank you a lot - She said shaking Daxar's hand.

- You have nothing to thank me for, it was my fault... - Daxar said confused.

- But you freed us. I just regret we didn't complete our mission - Ezra answered, dissatisfied.

- You are wrong - Fengris replied giving him the HoloDisk - This is the HoloDisk with data you were looking for.

Ezra grabbed the device and looked at it. He was surprised that during all those events still remembered to take it for them. 'Who is this guy?' Ezra asked himself in mind.

- So, now we have debt - Ezra said.

- You know what I want. I want to join the Rebel Alliance, I can be useful with my knowlegde.

- Well... - Ezra started unsure what to say - look, we are not head commanders of the rebels. We don't even know if we can get you to our base. We must contact with others.

- I understand - Daxar replied.

In meanwhile, Sabine took a first-aid kit which she found under her seat.

- Ezra, come with me to the hold, you'll show me your wound - Sabine said.

Ezra nodded. He grabbed her arm to help her and they left the cockpit.

Ezra and Sabine sat on the bench by the wall. He was holding his hand in the place where he was injured, Sabine put the first-aid kit on the bench next to her.

- Show me your wound - Sabine said.

Ezra turned to her on with his side and raised his hand.

- I need to get a better look, you must to take off the upper part of your armor - Sabine said like a doctor, but she had to hide her little shy saying that sentence.

For Ezra it was a little embarrassing, but he did what she asked for. Sabine looked at the wound again. She took the opportunity to admire his body's angle of the eye, although she tried to focus on Ezra's wound.

- I think the wound is only superficial, your armour had protected you enough to... - She said without completing her sentence, like it was something sad.

- To what? - Ezra asked.

- To not bleed in a several seconds - Sabine replied, little irritated.

- Are you angry at me? - the young Jedi asked, when she applied a bacta on the wound.

- *deep sigh* Look, Ezra... You had so much luck, that blast could hit in more sensitive place. The last thing I want to see is you bleeding in arms... because of me... - Sabine said bitterly.

- What are you talking about? Because of you? - Ezra asked, crestfallen.

- Yes, me. I was too slow then, we could die because I was too weak... - Sabine replied with remorse.

- You know that's not true, you were so tough, you endured so much on that ship. I've got my wounds because of my inattention, I could deflect the shot - Ezra replied confidently.

Sabine didn't answer him, she was lost in thought. Ezra was the most important person for her, she knew why.

She started wrapping him with a bandage.

- Sabine, tell me, why did you give me a paint bomb instead of thermal detonator? - Ezra asked, changing subject.

- I saw him using the stun mode during our escape, I think Daxar is a type of pacifist. This is very rare in the Empire. He was under heavy fire and he still didn't set fire mode, despite the fact, that it was so dangerous for himm fire mode have much better range. It's strange that he was during the interrogation, since it looks like he hates violence.

Sabine already finished bandaging.

- Done, the wound will heal quickly - She said smiling.

- Thank you Sabine - Ezra replied with smirk.

- You're welcome. Now we have to contact Hera and tell her what happened. She can be so worried about us.

Ezra nodded and wear the upper part of the armor, then they backed to the cockpit where Daxar was waiting.

- Is it a serious injury? - ex-lieutenant asked.

- Fortunately, it's not. Daxar, can you get out of the cockpit for a minute? We want to contact the rebels - Sabine replied.

He nodded and and rose to leave the room.

Before he left:
- One more thing - Fengris started - If they will not agree for my joining... Leave me on a planet which is not ruled by the Empire - He said with a little sadness.

Then he left the cockpit leaving them alone.

- We must convince Hera - Ezra said determined.

- I don't understand, why you care so much? I know that he helped us escape, but after he imprisoned us...

- Because - he interrupt her - I can sense his... suffer. I don't know the reason of that, but he really suffer.

- Let's contact with Hera - Sabine replied, setting communicator.

After a few seconds Hera's hologram apperad in front of them.

- Ezra, Sabine, what happened? Your mission took a lot more time than it should - Hera asked worried.

- Our mission didn't go well. We had been caught - Sabine said.

- They caught you? - Hera yelled with a little horror in her voice.

- Yeah... But as you can see, we escaped them - Ezra replied, proudly.

- At least this... - Hera replied, putting her hand on the forehead - So you didn't get needed information?

- I'll surprise you, we did it... But not ourselves. One person helped us there - Ezra said.

- Somebody helped you? Another Fulcrum? - Hera asked, intrigued.

- No, he's not Fulcrum, but you know him from our records - Sabine answered.

- Who?

- Daxar Fengris - she said.

- The lieutenant? I can't believe you say truth... - Hera said, slightly suspiciously.

- I know it's hard to believe... - Sabine started - Listen, he was responsible for our imprisoned, we were taken to interrogation. The captain was electrocuting me. I could even die if...

- If what? - Hera said, but Sabine's words shocked her so much.

- If he wouldn't stop Suvan - Sabine replied.

- That's true, he tortured her to break me to say location of our base... - Ezra added with unpleasantness.

Hera was worried about them, that had to be horrible experience.

- OK, but how did he help you escape? - Hera asked.

- He came to our cell and freed us. I was still suspicious... - Ezra said.

- Suspicious? You attacked him - Sabine replied, facetiously.

- Ok I admit, I was agressive then - Ezra said - But he brought our weapon and with his help we escaped to the shuttle.

- Did he tell you why he was doing it? - Hera asked confused.

- He said the captain betrayed him and was responsible for death of his family. We can call him, then he will tell you himself - Sabine said.

- I agree, but when he will be here, prepare your weapon for any suspisious action, understand? - Hera ordered them.

They nodded and Ezra called Daxar to back to the cockpit.

- Hera Syndulla, well known rebel pilot and military leader. It is an honour to meet you - Daxar said, bowing.

- I guess you are Daxar Fengris, Imperial Lieutenant and a close friend of Kerrick Suvan. He isn't too nice for his prisoners, and I know you were taking a part during his interrogations - Hera replied irritaded.

- You're right, I was during his interrogations, but I didn't take active part, I was only observing.

- OK, it's not a main thing of that meeting. You improsined members of my crew, then you saved them. Why? - Hera asked suspicious.

- I want to join the Rebel Alliance - Daxar said confidently.

- What is a reason of your decision? - Hera asked.

- I... I felt guilty when I saw what Kerrick were doing to them during interrogation because of me. I saw many times when he was doing much worse thing, but...

- But? - she interjected, for now she wasn't convinced about his intentions.

- But then it was different moment... I want to ask you about something. Did you... ever lose someone important in your life? - Daxar said with regret.

After a few seconds of silence:
- I lost... - Ezra said, bitterly.

- I lost someone too... - Hera said.

- A few years ago I lost... - Daxar started - My wife and my son. I loved them so much, they were the most imporant for me. I believed by years that the rebels killed them during a battle, but it was not true. My best friend was responsible for it: Kerrick Suvan. My best friend showed to me as a monster loyal only to the Empire. Since then, the Empire is NOTHING for me, there is nothing what hold me there. I want to join the Rebels, I can be useful for you. I freed them and gave them the HoloDisk with data to make any prove my intentions. If you will not agree... I will handle it.

Hera needed a several seconds to think about his words.

- Fengris, please leave us for a moment, we have to discuss it - Hera said.

Daxar nodded and left the cockpit.

- What do you think? I want to know your opinion - Hera said

- I believe him - Ezra replied.

- I am not sure about him. I know he saved me, freed us and gave us what we were looking for... but on the other hand, we were caught by HIM. It can be a game to get location of our base - Sabine said.

- What about you, Hera? Now I think it is your decision - Ezra said.

- Hmm...First, make sure he cannot hear us.

Ezra came out of the cockpit, Daxar was close to the door, so he told him to go to the end of the hold, and then Ezra returned.

- OK. What do you think? - Ezra asked.
