Me: Hey, guys! So, as you know, there are two more chapters, including this one, until the story is finished.

Ezra: Why?!

Me: (Uses the force and pushes Ezra far away from the ship) Ezra: (Yells) I will be back!

Me: Uh, huh. Anyway, you know the thing I said about this being the second last chapter. Well, I lied. This is the last chapter. I only said that to stop blueberry from crying even more. He just won't stop being such a–

Ezra: (Runs inside) I'm back!

Me: Okay. Bye, guys! See ya at the end of the chapter!

Ezra: No! Wa– (Camera closes)

Kanan's POV

Three Hours.

That's how long we've been searching. We had gotten everything we needed and headed back to the planet, Emos, and searched. We haven't found anyone yet. I just hope they're okay.

Ronin and Ahsoka are worried, too. Though, judging by how Ronin's acting, he's more than worried. He hasn't seen his nephew since Myra was born and Myra since he was her guard in her time in that cell. Ronin had taken Talin out to see if he can find them.

I still don't know how Talin can find force users. And how come there aren't others like him? Is he the only one who can track them? I'm just glad Talin is with Ronin instead of someone else.

Ronin comes back on the ship. I look at him. "Anything?"

He shakes his head. "Nothing. Not a single thing." He turns around. "I'm going to search some more. Make sure Talin doesn't leaves the ship."

Talin runs to Ahsoka and jumps into her arms. She shakes her head. "No, Ronin. Stay for a bit. You can help even better if you are well rested."

I stand up. "And I'll go instead. You stay here and rest. I'll be back soon."

I walk past him and out the ship, not looking back. Once I was a good distance away from the ship, I sit down. I breathe in the fresh air of forest planet.

I always thought the fresh, peaceful places were the best. They calmed me down and everything around me seemed to slow down. In places like this, it seemed as if nothing would go wrong.

But, right now, everything is going wrong. My crew...my family...is missing, hurt, and somewhere on this planet. They could be less than a mile away and I wouldn't even notice. Who knows what's happening to them right now?

I get up, deciding to search some more, when something caught my eye. I walk closer to it and see what it is. It was...a book. And not just any book. It was the very that was on the Ghost. And the very one Myra was reading.

The Old Religion.

I have noticed Myra reading it. She always had it with her. It must've dropped out from her bag. That

must mean she was here!

I pick up the book and look around some more. I crouch down and look at the dirt and grass. Footprints. Small and large ones. Someone must be with her.

I get up and walk over the tree. If we're going to find them, I have to know where I found the book and the footprints. I take out my lightsaber and carefully print a large X into the tree.

I put my lightsaber away and walk back to the ship, the book in my hand.

Talin runs up to me and rubs his head against my leg, purring. Ahsoka and Ronin look at me, waiting for me say talk.

"I found something." I hold out the book. "Myra was reading this. I also found footprints."

Ahsoka stands up. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" She starts the ship as I pick Talin up. "Kanan you take Ronin and lead us to where you found them."

I nod and take Ronin with me, Talin still in my arms. We walk out the ship and Ahsoka takes off to the air.

I lead the both of them into the forest, Ahsoka in the air and Ronin behind me. I look for the tree with the X and walked over to it. I set Talin on the grass and crouch down, looking at the ground.

"Over here." Ronin looks down and I point to the footprints. "She was here with someone else." I point to the right. "They went that way."

"I'll meet you on the other side of the forest. See you there." Ahsoka flies over to where I pointed. I look over at Ronin. "Come on. Lets find her."

He nods. "I have an idea." He takes out a tracking device and puts it on Talin's collar. "Go find them, Talin."

Talin purrs into his hand and runs off, leaving us behind. Silence takes over for a moment. Ronin takes out a tracker and turns to me. "Come on, let's follow him."

I nod and we start to follow Talin. I hope Myra is okay. And I hope who ever she's with is someone we know and trust. And she's not the only one I'm worried about. I hope the others are okay.

Stay safe, everyone. We're coming.

Myra's POV

Here we are, hiding behind the crates while Sabine tries to save Zeb and Chopper.

I was worried. Worried that one of them might get hurt. Worried that they'll get captured. Worried for their lives.

But, at the same time, I was happy. Happy that we found Zeb and Chopper. Happy that we get to teach those troopers some lessons. Happy for I get to fight.

Sabine had manage to grab a blaster from one of the troopers and started stunning them. As she fought, Lyra and I were hiding behind the crates, watching. Zeb and Chopper were still surrounded by troopers.

Lyra turns to me. "I'm going in. Hand me my lightsaber."

Lyra had manage to keep her lightsaber with her on the entire journey, in case you didn't know. I take the lightsaber out of the bag and hand her the weapon.

Lyra grips it tightly in her hand. "Stay here and don't move."

Lyra runs into the house, igniting her lightsaber. The green light bouncing off the walls and armor of the stormtroopers.

"Jedi." The leader said. "Get the both of them."

The troopers start walking closer.

"What are you doing here?!" Sabine yells as she stuns more troopers.

Lyra blocks more shots. "You know I won't let you fight alone. Besides, I don't want to miss the chance to fight bucket heads."

And neither will I.

I hate it when I'm not able to fight. I want to help, save others, and fight for our freedom and justice. Ezzy has never let me fight or do anything to help. He always made sure I stayed on the Ghost. But this time, he won't have a choice.

I grab a nearby blaster and run inside. I shoot a stormtrooper behind Sabine. She looks behind her and then to me. "Myra?!"

Sabine stuns another trooper. "What are you doing here?! You know it's dangerous!"
I stun a trooper. "You know I won't miss a chance to fight either. Ezzy never let me join a fight. But, since

he's not here, this is my chance."
"You still should've stayed hidden! What if you get hurt?! Oh, my...Ezra is going to kill me!"

I chuckle. "Not if he gets to me first." I stun the troopers surrounding Zeb and Chopper. "Besides...what he doesn't knows, won't kill him."

"And if he knows?"

"Then he'll kill me."

I finish stunning the troopers surrounding Zeb and Chopper. Lyra runs over and cuts their restraints.

Zeb stretches. "Finally, I get to smash some bucket heads." He runs over and smashes the troopers together, knocking them out. "That's what you get for leading us into a trap and restraining us."

As we fight, Chopper rolls around, zapping the troopers as they're busy fighting us. The rodian has run out during the fight at some point, too. I don't see him anywhere.

I walk back as the troopers get closer and closer. I feel something behind me, but I was too late.

A trooper knocks the blaster out of my hands and the one behind grabs me. The others look over, stopping for a moment before trying to get to me.

Sabine continue stunning the troopers, but wasn't able to. I roll my eyes. Bucket heads are just too dumb.

I kick the trooper where it is not pretty. He lets go, doubling over. I grab his arm and throw him into the rest of the troopers, knocking the last of them out.

Everything stops. Everyone looks at me, surprise, confusion, and curiosity in their eyes.

I dust my hands and look at them. "What?"

Zeb points to me and then to the troopers. "How did you..."

"Um...uh...When you train with the empire at such a young age, you get strong easily. And, when I was alone on the Ghost, I trained a lot."

Staring.

I nervously laugh. "Umm...shouldn't we get going?" I take a step back. "I'm a...I'm going to wait outside."

I run out the door and sit on the crate. I just revealed one of my secrets to them. At least they don't know all of them. I'm not ready to tell them. Not after what happened.

Everyone walks out. Guessing by their expressions, they're still surprised.

"Well, umm...we should get going before reinforcements come." I start walking.

I could feel them staring into my back as they follow me.

At least what I told them wasn't a complete lie. They can't know what the Empire did to me while I was with them. They aren't ready...

I'm not ready.

Lyra's POV

What...just...happened?

One second we were fighting stormtroopers, the next...Myra had knock all of them out from...throwing them into each other.

Where did she get that strength? I don't believe her when she said the Empire trained her. I think...no...I know the Empire did something to her.

Why isn't she telling us? Is she worried? Afraid? Is she afraid of what we'll think...about her? No, that can't be it. She's probably just not ready. At least, I hope so.

Right now, we're looking for a place to hide since the Empire now knows we're here. Myra is ahead, walking as fast as she can. She probably still doesn't want to face us yet.

We kept our profile low. We stayed close to the alleyways and away from the people. We stayed in a group and checked our surroundings.

We never stopped walking. Not for a break, not for food, not even when we're about to get caught. We just walked and walked and walked.

Myra is still ahead of us. Even if we tried to catch up, she was still far ahead. Wow, I never knew how fast she was. Even when we were in the forest.

Sabine has been leading the rest of us out of the village. Though, it hasn't been going as planned. Each time we're close to our ticket out of here, stormtroopers walk over and guards it.

Zeb and Chopper...let's just say they aren't doing well and leave it at that.
And me? I'm thinking of what will happen. Will we get out of here without being caught? What's going

to happen? Will we find the others? Will we find Ezra?

All these thoughts ran through my head, making me unable to think straight. A hand grabs my shoulder, stopping me from falling into some crates.

Sabine turns me around, making me face her. "Hey...you okay?" I nod. "Yea, just...just thinking."
She lets go. "Okay, but stay aware of your surroundings."
I nod and she walks away.

She's right. I should have a straight mind and not focus too much on...my questions.

I feel a chill go down my spine. It was...cold, dark, fearful. I really hope it doesn't mean what I think it means.

I just hope we can get out of here and reunite. I hope everyone is okay. That Ezra is okay.

Oh, Ezra. Please, be safe. I don't want to lose you, too.

Kanan's POV

We have been following Talin for a while now. According to the tracker, he's still running. We had reached the other side of the forest and met up with Ahsoka. From there, we followed him in the ship.

After we passed the forest, it has just been clear plain. Almost like a prairie. But, flat lands and very little trees.

Talin is still running to wherever he's taking us.

I sigh and lay my head against the iron wall. "How much longer 'till we find them? Or at least when he stops."

Ronin looks up. "Right now." I sit up. "He's at a village nearby." Ahsoka lands the ship at distance from the village.

"Well, what are we waiting for?"

Ronin gets up. "I'll blend in as one of the troopers. You guys go ahead. I'll meet up with you soon." He hands us the tracker. "Look for Talin while you're at it."

Ahsoka and I nod and leave the ship. We walk into the village, using the tracker to find our way to Talin.

As we did, we found out that more and more stormtroopers were arriving. I guess we're at the right place.

We followed the tracker to an alley. It was dark and not much light to see. Ahsoka and I look at each and nod.

We cautiously walk in, checking our surroundings as we go. Halfway in and we hear an innocent sound.

'Meow.'

Talin.

We walk closer to the sound and hear a little girl's laugh. "Haha, s-stop! I-I ca-can't t-t-ake this much lon- longer! Haha!"

I silently gasp and take a step forward. "Myra." I whisper. I turn to Ahsoka. "Come on."
We walk to the end of the alley, our pace getting faster and faster. We turn the corner to see Myra

laughing on the ground and Talin...licking her?

Myra looks to her side.

"K-ka-ana-an!" She gasps between her giggles.

Talin licks her face even more, causing Myra to laugh much more. It looks like she's going to die from laughter if Talin doesn't stop soon.

I walk over to them and pick Talin up. "Bad, Talin."

I hand Talin over to Ahsoka, who holds him in her arms. I walk over back to Myra, who was on the ground trying to catch her breath.

I help her get up. "Are you okay?"

She nods, a bit dizzy. "Yea...yeah, I'm...I'm fine." She looks at Talin. "The little guy just caught me by surprise and you know how ticklish I am."

I nod, knowing consequences.

"Myra!"

I look over to edge of the street. Someone... no...Some people were running towards us. They were filled dirt, cuts, and bruises all over their bodies. Most of them wore dirty clothing that almost look black.

But, there was one with a few colors on their...is that armor...and another with...purple fur. There's only person I know who has purple fur ...Zeb.

Than that means the one with the armor is...

The girl with the armor ran up to Myra, leaving the others behind.

The person hugs Myra. "Don't run away like that ever again. You scared the life out of me." She looks to me, eyes widening. "Kanan?"

I smile. "Sabine."

The others catch up. They see me, having the same reaction as Sabine. Almost.

Zeb runs up to me, Chopper behind me. "Kanan. I'm so glad you're 'ere."

"Beep booop ba."

"I'm wi' ya, Chop."

There was another who stood in the back. She had brown hair and brown eyes. Lyra.
I walk over to her and smile. "I'm glad you're okay."

She gives a small smile back. "I'm glad you're okay, too, Kanan." She looks at Myra riding on Zeb's back. "We better find the others soon. I have this feeling. Something bad is going to happen." She looks at me in the eyes. "And it's going to happen soon."

It was just then, that I knew what she meant. A cold, dark feeling flew down my spine. But, there's only a few things that could...Oh, no.

I look at the others. "We have to go. Now."

Sabine gets up. "Why? What's wrong?"

I look at her. "The empire is coming. But, someone else is with them." I look up at the sky.

"And I think you know who."

Ezra's POV

Leo, Hera and I have been up here a while, talking about normal things. For once, everything was peaceful. It was calm, happy, and our laughter filled the air. It seemed as if there wasn't a care in the world.

But, all good things have to come to an end soon.

After a while of talking, it began to darken. We decided to head back to the house underneath.

"So..." I start. "What do you think will happen next?"

Hera shrugs. "Who knows? But, if there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that we'll find the others."

Leo looks down. "Do you think they'll accept me?"

I nod. "Of course they will."

"Even after what I've almost done?"

"Yep. And if they don't, I'll make sure you stay with us." I tap my head. "This guy has been forming plans for awhile now."

Leo laughs. "Uh, huh. Sure, Ezra, sure."

I act has if I've been offended. "I'm serious." I point to myself. "This guy is smart. Street smart and you know it."

Hera and Leo burst out laughing. Hera grabs my shoulder to keep herself from falling.

I chuckle. "Okay, yea, it's funny. " I point to them. "But, hey. At least, I made you laugh, right?"

"You sure did." Hera responds.

We all laugh our heart out. It feels just like the old times. Before the ship blew up. Before and after our missions. Before and during my training. Before...my parents were taken and died helping others.

We all stop laughing, trying to catch our breath.

Hera wipes a tear from her eye. "Oh, Ezra."

Leo sits against a wall and grabs his stomach. "I hate it when it does this after a long laugh."

I shrug. "Eh, you get used to it."

Leo nods, getting back up. "Come on, we better hurry." He looks at the sky and so do we. "It's getting dark."

We continue walking, exchanging more stories as we do. It was right then that something just had to ruin the moment.

A cold, dark feeling flew down my spine. I stop walking and close my eyes, sensing for anything.

The two look at me. "Ezra, are you okay? Is something wrong?" Hera questions, obviously worried.

There was only one thing I know that can make that feeling.

I open my eyes.

"Run."

Just then, a tie came flying down shooting towards our way. We jump to the side.

"How did they find us? How did they know? I didn't tell! I swear!" Leo cries out.

I put my hand on my lightsaber. "And I believe you, Leo, but I don't think they knew we were here. I think someone else alerted them." I look at Hera. "You don't think..."

She nods. "It has to be one of them. It can't be Kanan. He knows when to get into a fight. I think it was either Sabine or Zeb."

I nod, agreeing with her. "You're right." I look to my left to see stormtroopers crowding the area more and more. "They'll spot us in the streets. We have to hide befo–"

A large ship flies down. The feeling returns.

I turn to Hera and Leo. "I'll hold them off as long as I can. Go!"

Hera shakes her head. "No, Ezra. It took me a while to find you. I'm not losing you again."

I push them back. "And you won't. I promise that. But, if you want to see me again, you have to run. I can't focus when you're both in danger." I look over my shoulder and back to them. "Now, go! If I can't reach you, get help and leave. Don't come back." I continue pushing them.

Hera grabs my arm. "Ezra, please. Don't."

"Hera, I–"

"I can't lose another family member!"

My eyes widen. She...really thinks of me as family?

"Not another one." She whispers. "Not you."

I grab her shoulder. "It'll be fine. I promise, you will see me again." She nods. "...Okay."

She turns around, Leo in her grasps. She stops and turns back to me and hugs me, surprising me. "Be careful."

I hesitantly hug her back. "I will."

She lets go and looks at me one last time. She turns, grabs Leo's hand, and runs, not looking back. I turn around, taking my saber out. Time to fight some bucket-heads...

...and a Sith Lord.

Hera's POV

We ran. Running for our lives. Running from the empire. Running from Ezra. "H-Hera? W-W-What's going on?" Leo stutters as we run.

I take deep breath. "The empire is after a us. We're rebels and they want us...gone. Not sure if...if Ezra told you that."

"He did. But, he didn't say anything about wanting to kill us! I thought they would just throw you in prison!"

I chuckle. "That's not even half of what they do, kid."

Leo takes us to the underground house. We go threw the sewers and into the house. We stop when we reach it and try to catch our breath.

We sit on the floor, scared of what just happen.

Leo looks at me, fear and worry in his eyes. "What do you think will happen to us? To Ezra?"

Ezra. Oh, why did I leave him?

"Nothing. Ezra is smart and knows when to leave a fight." I look at the door. "But first things first, we need to contact the rebellion. We can't stay here any longer. The Empire will catch us if we do."

Leo nods. "Ezra left his com here." He goes over to the table and picks it up. "Here you go." He gives it to me.

I take mine out. "I still have mine. I'm not sure it'll work though. But, it's worth a try." I raise my com up and speak.

"This is Specter 2 speaking. I'm here with a young boy Ezra made friends with. The Empire found us and...and Ezra is currently holding them back. Awaiting for instructions."

I let go of the button, waiting for an answer that might never come. Static was all we heard. Until...a voice came through.

"This is Specter 1. We're on our way."

Ezra's POV

Shoot, shoot. Dodge, shoot. Dodge.

It went even further than that. After Hera and Leo left, I climbed a building and went into the shadows. From there, I was constantly shooting, moving from one place to another to keep my location unknown.

It went on for a while until another ship landed. The cold feeling returned, only stronger.

He's here.

The sith walks out of the ship, his saber on. The blazing red light illuminating off the walls.

I aim for his back, shooting a triple. I guess he must've sensed it, 'cause he dodged all three of them. He pulls me out from the shadows and onto the ground.

"Hello, apprentice." He says through his mask.

I turn on my saber, the blue illuminating off my face. "I am not your apprentice!"

"You soon will be."

He charges as I block. "Not going to happen!"

Dodge, strike, block, riposte, block, parry, strike.

The sith pushes me back. "You will join the dark side."

He charges. "One word answer." I jump away. "Never!"

Dodge, charge, jump, push, block, parry, counter, dodge, riposte, push.

The sith pushes on my saber, my feet starting to slide underneath me. "You will join."

I push back. "You already know the answer, metal head."

He uses a strong force push on me, making my body collide into a wall. My lightsaber flies out of my hand. My head hits the wall, a sticky substance sliding down my neck.

"If you will not join willingly, then I will break you to do so." He closes his saber, putting it away. "Take him."

Immediately, stormtroopers grab me by my arms, dragging me to the ship. From there, I couldn't remember much.

All I remember is being dragged down the halls and thrown into a cell. After that, everything went dark.

Me: (laughs evilly) Yep, that's right everyone. He g-

Ezra: (Runs in) WHY DID YOU GET ME CAPTURED?! YOU KNOW IM STRONGER THEN THAT!

Me: Not against Vader, you are.

Ezra: Am too.

Me: Are not.

Ezra: Am too.

Me: Are not.

Ezra: Am too.

Kanan: (pops in) Are not. (Walks away)

Ezra: You too?! I THOUGHT YOU BELIEVED IN ME!

Me: (sighs) Ezra, get out.

Ezra: No.

Me: (points at the door) Out.

Ezra: No.

Me: (makes my magical metal bat appear in my hand) Get. Out.

Ezra: (shrinks and keeps his eyes on the bat) I'm out. (Runs outside my bedroom)

Me: (makes the bat disappear) Finally. Anywho, I hope you all liked it. And you'll know what happens to Ezra in the next chapter. Ret, everyone!
