Me: Hey, guys! So, I decided to let you know what the Empire decided to do with Ezra at the very end of the chapter. (Chuckles evilly) I'm going to leave you guys in suspense for a long time. Anywho, onto the chapter!

Disclaimer: Starlight does not own SWR. She only owns Myra, Lyra, Leo, and Ronin.

Leo's POV

Everything is going so fast.

Ezra reunited with Hera. Jayi capturing me. Ezra being a Jedi. Telling them about…that. The Empire showing up. Leaving Ezra behind. Finding the rest of Ezra's crew. Ezra….fighting the Empire.

I can't take this must longer. I don't want to run anymore. I don't want to be afraid. I don't want to be controlled…I don't want to lose anyone.

After the older guy, Kanan I think his name was, spoke through the com, we had to go to the house that we were currently at on the surface.

We stayed in the alley, waiting for the people to arrive. After waiting for a few minutes, they came.

There were three humans, a togruta, one droid, and a lasat. I look at them. The one with the beard must be Kanan. The lasat must be Garazeb Orrelios, or Zeb. The girl in the mandalorian armor and colorful hair must be Sabine. The one with the brown hair and eyes must be one of Ezra's oldest friends, Lyra. I don't know the droid's name and Ezra never told me who the togruta was.

The man, Kanan, takes a step toward. "Hera."

She does the same. "Kanan."

One moment they're standing in silence. The next, they're embracing each other. Hera lets go of Kanan.

She looks at the rest. "Sabine. Zeb. Lyra. You're all okay."

The droid takes out his hands. "Beep bop!"

Hera smiles. "I'm glad you're okay, too, Chopper."

Huh, Chopper. So that's his name.

Hera turns to the togruta. "Ahsoka? What are you doing here?"

Ahsoka? I know I've heard of her somewhere.

Ahsoka smiles at Hera. "I found Kanan with someone's help."

"Who?"

"I'll tell you after. First, tell us your side of the story."

As Hera tells Ahsoka and the others, I backup to the wall, not noticing someone behind me. I bump into the person and an….Emo-cat?

"Oh, I'm sorry." I help her get up. "I didn't see you there."

She checks the Emo-cat for injuries. "It's fine. No harm done."

I nod. I start to take in her features. She had long, mid-back raven hair and electric blue eyes. Her skin is peach colored with the light reflecting off of her.

"You're Ezra's sister, aren't you?" I point out.

She nods. "You must be one of Ezra's friends, right?"

"Yea, how did you know?"

"Ezra makes friends with those who he trusts. Besides, you wouldn't be here with Hera if you weren't." She points out.

"Good point."

She takes an arm out. "Myra."

I grab her hand. "Leo." We shake.

I feel a hand grab my shoulder. "Nice to see you guys met." I hear Hera say.

She looks at Myra. "Good to see you safe, Myra."

She nods. "You too, Hera."

Hera looks at the Emo-cat. "And who's this little guy?"

Myra adjusted her hold on him. "This is Talin. He's the one of the two who helped Kanan find us."

"He's cute." Talin purrs as Hera scratching under his ear.

Suddenly, shots were heard across the village. Hera and I look at each other.

"Ezra!"

Hera looks at everyone, worry in her eyes. "I was just getting there. The Empire came and found us. Ezra made us run and he started to fight them on his own."

Kanan and the girl, Lyra was her name, look at each other.

"Sith."

Immediately, worry shot through my face.

Hera looks at me. "Leo? What's wrong?"

"We have to hurry." I grab her hand.

"What's wrong?" She demanded.

I sigh. "The sith…he's the one who forced me to do…what I was going to do. He killed my family. He was going to kill my sister. But, he didn't. There was a hologram of it, too. Proof that she was there."

I close my eyes as the memory returned. "She was beaten, bruised…and worse. If I hadn't….she would've been killed."

I open my eyes. "And the sith is going to do worse to Ezra if he captures him. Much, much worse. I just know it."

Hera looks at me. "Leo, I'm sorry. I didn't know. We'll get her back. I promise that, too. But, right now, let's get Ezra."

I nod and we start running in the direction of the shooting. As we neared, we started to hear clashing.

He's already fighting Ezra.

There we were, close to the fight, when someone had to make an entrance.

The guy we all hate jumps in front of us, blocking our only way to the fight.

"You're not getting away this time, Leo." Jayi says. "Even with your little friends."

I glare at him. "Oh, yea. What makes you think that?"

He smirks. "This."

Stormtroopers come from behind him, surrounding us. Great, just great. When things are already bad enough, he just has to make it worse.

But, this time, he's the one who won't be getting away.

I turn to Hera. "You guys take care of them. I got Jayi."

Hera looks at me with concern. "Are you sure? Last time, he–"

"That was last time. He had an advantage over me. This time he won't." I turn to Ahsoka. "Can I borrow one of your….blasters?"

Ahsoka hesitantly hands me her blaster, carefully placing it in my hands. I look at Jayi, getting ready to fight.

This is it, Leo. Time to fight your greatest enemy….and cousin. You're going to fight him….with a blaster. Just don't kill him. Only capture him, throw him in the rebellion cells and make sure he never bothers you again.

"You guys ready?" I ask, not taking my eyes off of Jayi.

The others nod and say yes.

"Then let's smash some bucket heads."

The others charge at the stormtroopers , leaving me with Jayi. I look at him, my eyes burning with fury.

"This is where it all ends, cousin."

I nod. "It is."

Dodging the stun blasts he fires at me, I fire back.

He dodges and smiles. "Pops will be proud when I bring you in."

I shoot once more. "Like you brought in your own sister, allowing your father to kill her."

He growls. "That wasn't my fault. I didn't know he was going to kill her."

"You still brought her in, didn't ya?"

He growls and shoots more at me.

Dodge, shoot, jump, block, shoot, shoot, dodge, shoot.

I stun Jayi's arm, making him unable to move it. He growls. "You'll pay for that you little…"

Jayi shoots. I jump, dodging them, only to get hit in the leg a moment later. I fall to the ground, dropping the blaster.

Jayi smirks. "Got you now, you little rascal."

He raises the blaster preparing to shoot. My eyes widen and I quickly reach for the blaster. I grab it and immediately shoot, stunning him completely.

He drops to the ground, the blaster falling out of his hands. I stun him a few more times.

I look around to see everyone fighting the last of the troopers.

"Look out!"

I look to my right to see Myra aiming her blaster at me. I immediately duck and she shoots, stunning a trooper behind me. How did he get there without me noticing?

I look over to Myra. "Thanks."

She smiles. "No problem."

I smile back, only to notice a trooper sneaking up behind her. "Behind you!"

She turns around and sees him. She drops the blaster, grabs him by the arm and punches him. She pulls him over her head and lands him on the ground with a large Crack!

She broke his ribs…I almost feel sorry for the guy. Almost.

I look at Myra. How did she…? Did she just…? What on Emos is going on?!

She look at me and frowns. "Please, don't start it." She points to Sabine, Lyra, and Zeb. "I already got it from them. Just….pretend you never saw that."

She picks up the blaster, stuns the trooper fully unconscious, and walks away.

I blink. I don't not know my world anymore.

I feel the numbness in my leg going away. I slowly get up, trying not to fall over. I see Jayi stir and stun him once more.

Everyone else finishes up and walks up to me. They look at him.

"So…" Zeb starts. "What's wi' you and 'im?"

Sabine punches his shoulder.

"What?! I'm curious."

I quietly laugh. "I'll tell you another time." I look towards the fight, not hearing the light sabers clashing anymore. "We have to get Ezra."

I hand the blaster to Kanan. "If he stirs, stun him. It'll help."

Kanan takes the blaster and looks at it. I start to run away with everyone else.

He looks up. "Wait, why do I have to watch him?!"

I stop and turn around. "Because you're…the most experienced one here?"

He sighs. "Just go ahead. I'll watch him."

I turn around and start running. I get to the end of the alley and see everyone standing. I run up ahead and push through, looking at what they were.

Up in the sky, three ships were flying away. On the ground…was Ezra's lightsaber. And on the wall…..was blood. Fresh blood.

I look up at the ships, which had jumped into hyperspace a moment later. We stood there, staring at the blank, blue sky, wondering what just happened.

Why?! Why Ezra? I can't loose him! He's the only friend I have! The only one who accepted me! And now….he's gone….

….And it's all my fault!

Lyra's POV

I feel lost. Very lost.

Everyone is close to crying, even the big, tough lasat over there. We had just watched the life of the crew and our lives taken away by the Empire….and the sith.

We had all walked back silently to Kanan. Jayi was still there, unconscious from all the stun shots he had taken.

Kanan, sensing us coming, looks up. "What happened?"

From asking that simple question, everyone started to tear up. Myra the most.

Kanan looks at us, confusion and worry in his eyes. "What did I say? Did something happen to Ezra?"

I try to stop crying and start to tell him. "We got over there and saw the Empire leaving….w-with Ezra. T-This was on the ground." I pull out Ezra's saber. "Along w-with…..b-b-blood on t-t-the wall." I cry even more. "We…we w-were too l-l-late."

Kanan looks at the saber, that had small specks of blood on it, too. Hurt and fury were burning in his eyes. He takes the saber and clips it onto his belt. "We'll get him back." He motions us to walk. "Come on, we have to hurry."

We all start walking back to Ahsoka's ship, taking Jayi with us. Along with a guy named Ronin, who was waiting for us there. We boarded the ship and head back to the Rebellion.

Nobody said anything. Not a single sound was made. The only sound heard was our ragged breathing.

After a few minutes in hyperspace, we finally reached the Rebellion. Nothing was said until we walked inside one of the rebel ships.

As my cousin was taken away, Ahsoka turns around and stops us from walking any further. "We need a plan and fast. Who knows what he's going through right now?"

We all look at each other and nod.

Hera steps towards. "Alright. What should be do?"

Ahsoka shrugs. "I don't know yet." She looks at the rest of us. "How about you all get some rest? You've been through a lot. Hera, Kanan, Ronin, and I will be in the conference 'll be there if you need us." (Don't judge. I had no other name that would work.)

Ahsoka starts walking away, Ronin, Kanan and Hera following. Hera stops walking and turns to us.

"Get some rest everyone. You'll need to be at your full strength if we're going to get Ezra back."

She turns around and continues following Ahsoka. I look at Myra, who still seemed to be crying.

I feel bad for her. She had only found her brother a few months ago and now he's in an imperial cell somewhere in the galaxy. I sigh. I really hope we can find him.

I follow Myra and Sabine to a cabin. I sit on the bed, looking down at the floor. "What do we do now?"

Sabine looks at me and sighs. "All we can do now is wait."

"But I want to help him. He's my oldest friend… and he's family to me."

Sabine looks away. "I want to help him, too, but if we go out there without a plan or strategy, we'll just put him more at risk. And ourselves, too."

I nod, letting what Sabine said sink in. "I guess your right." I look at Myra who was sleeping on the bed, tear marks dried on her face. "Let's get some sleep. We'll need it."

Sabine nods and goes up on the top bunk. I lay down on the bed, next to Myra.

I just hope we can find him and bring him back in one piece. For himself. For Myra. For the sake of everyone.

I close my eyes and start to think of all the good times we had on Lothal….when ,suddenly, a bright, calm, familiar feeling enters my body.

"Lyra? Are you there?"

I gasp and sit upright. Sabine looks down at me with concern. "Is something wrong?"

I don't answer her. I only think of one thing.

"….Ezra?"

Ezra's POV

Besides being thrown in a cell and blacking out once again, I don't remember anything else.

I had just awoken a few minutes ago. I don't know how long I was out or where we're headed. Or even how I got here.

I feel something dry in my matted hair. I reach up to touch it, wincing as I do. I touch the wound and something falls onto my hand. I look at it to see….blood.

It then all comes flashing back to me.

The Empire….Telling Hera and Leo to run away…Fighting the sith….Blacking out after being knocked into a wall.

I wipe the blood onto the floor. I look around to see the cameras facing me.

I wonder if Leo and Hera found help. Then a thought comes to mind. Maybe I can still use the force.

I close my eyes and try sensing for someone. I hear footsteps and soon I sense guards nearby. I open my eyes. If I can sense them, then I could probably use the force to talk with Kanan or Lyra.

I close my eyes once more and search. I couldn't find Kanan, but…I found Lyra.

"Lyra? Are you there?"

"….Ezra?"

I smile. It worked.

"Yea, it's me."

"I thought I lost you! Thank god you're alright." She stops for a moment. "Wait….are you alright?"

I quietly chuckle. Same Lyra as always. "Yes, I'm fine. How about you? Are you okay?"

"Yep, I was with Myra and Sabine the whole time. We also found the rest of the crew."

"Even Leo?"

"Yup, even Leo. Oh, and Myra's fine. I'll tell her you're alright. She's pretty worried."

I sigh. "Yea, she probably would be since she's never been in a fight before."

Lyra hesitates. "Umm….yea, about that…."

"What happened?!"

I hear her nervously laugh. "Umm, well, funny story…"

"Lyra! What did she do?!"

"ShesortagrabbedablasterandstartedtofightwithSabineandmetogetZebandChopperback!" She slows down. "So….uh…yea, that happened."

I couldn't even speak. Did Myra just went into a fight without anything to protect her but a blaster that she barely knew how to use?

"….What happened next?"

"Umm….well…." I hear Lyra take a deep breath. "She was grabbed by a trooper an–"

"What?!"

"Listen to the whole thing first!" She takes another breath. "We were about to help her when she kicked the trooper….rr..there and threw him over her shoulder into the remaining troopers."

Did she just say Myra has super strength?

"Did you just say what I think you just said?"

"Yes. Yes, I did."

"Okay…Myra has super strength. That's one thing to check off my 'Things That I Never Thought Would Happen' list."

Lyra laughs. "Yea, I never thought it would happen either. But….she isn't telling us how she got it. I'm pretty sure the Empire did something to her."

"Yea, no kidding."

I sense for anyone coming. No one.

"Ezra?" Lyra's worried voice broke through. "Is something wrong?"

"No, just checking if anyone is coming."

"Okay, just be careful."

I roll my eyes. She will never change. "Don't worry. I will." It was right then that Lyra gasps. "Something wrong?"

"No, but how's your injury? I totally forgot about it."

I did, too. I reach up to touch it, only to pull my hand back, wincing.

"It hurts, but I don't really notice it. How did you know I had an injury?"

Again, hesitation.

"…There was….blood on the walls and your saber."

Right, I forgot about that.

"Hey, I'm fine now. There's no need to worry."

She sighs. "I guess you're right."

"Hey, I'm always right."

She laughs.

"Oh, Ezra." She stops laughing, leaving silence to take over. "…Do you think we'll ever see each other again?"

Honestly, I don't think so. But, I have to say yes if I want to make her feel better and have confidence in herself.

"Yeah, I do. We'll see each other again. Don't worry."

"Thanks, Ez."

"No problem, Ly."

It felt so weird using the nicknames we had for each other. We hadn't called each other that since….that day.

Lyra speaks. "Where are you anyway?"

"I don't know. All I remember is being thrown into a cell and blacking out."

"Oh."

Silence.

"Kanan, Hera, and Ahsoka are planning something right now to get you out." She says.

"Wait, Ahsoka's with you?"

"Yea, she was with Kanan. This one other guy helped find him though. His name is Ronin."

Ronin? I know I've heard of him somewhere.

"So, he found Kanan and helped him find us? I think I'm liking the guy already."

"He also has a cute little furrball. His name's Talin. Leo told us he's an Emo-cat."

"Aww, I'd like to see the little guy."

"He's really cute and he has this crazy power to…." As Lyra talks, her voice faded away.

"Ezra? Ezra. Ezra!" She yells, her voice only heard a little higher than a whisper now.

"I'm still here, but your voice is fading. They must be putting up a force-inhibitor right now." I talk faster. "Listen to me, Lyra. What ever you do, stay with the crew. Don't co–"

The connection was lost. I didn't get to finish, but I didn't need to. She already knows what I was going to say. And I know Lyra is going to come for me no matter what.

I sigh. I just hope they don't get caught. Everything will be fine in the end. Oh, who am I kidding?

Nothing turns out well in the end.

Nothing.

Lyra's POV

"Listen to me, Lyra. What ever you do, stay with the crew. Don't co–"

The connection broke. I didn't get to hear he was going to say, but I already knew.

Don't come back for me.

That's what he was going to say. Like I won't. Ezra, I'm coming for you no matter what you say.

I feel a hand on my shoulder. "What happened?" I hear Sabine say.

I sigh and take a deep breath. "Ezra…he contacted me." She motions me to go on. "I just told him about what happened and all that. His head injury is fine, too. Well, from what he says."

"I told him about Myra. And his reaction….it was almost the same as ours….except for more yelling."

Sabine chuckles. "That's Ezra alright."

I continue. "I started to tell him about Ronin and the Emos Cat, Talin. And when I finished, he wasn't answering…..he then came back and told me that the Empire putting up a force-inhibitor."

Sabine looks at me blankly. "What's a force-inhibitor?"

"It's basically something that makes you unable to use the force."

"Oh."

A moment of silence.

"He told me to stay with you guys and to…..to not come back for him."

Sabine looks at me. "We aren't going to do that, right?"

"Of course not!" I quiet down. "He's my oldest and best friend. I can't even think about losing him."

Sabine hugs me. "Neither can I. He's like a brother to me." She whispers in my ear.

I let go of her and stand up. "Come on, let's go tell the others." I look at Myra, who is still sleeping. "I'll tell her later."

We walk into the conference room to see Hera, Kanan, and Ahsoka.

Hera looks at us. "Something wrong?"

I look at Sabine then her. "Yes and No." They look at me confused. "But first can you tell Zeb and Chopper to come here. I want to tell everyone at once."

Hera nods and calls them over. Kanan looks at us.

"What about Myra?"

Sabine walks next to him. "She's asleep. We'll tell her later."

He nods and turns to Ahsoka, talking about the plan. Zeb and Chopper walk in, along with Leo.

"What's wron'? Did some'in' happen?" Zeb asks.

They all look at me. I guess it's time to tell. I tell them the same thing I told Sabine except the full version this time. After I was done, they were all staring at me.

Kanan steps forward. "You contacted Ezra. But, how? I couldn't sense him."

I shrug. "I don't know. He just seemed to find me."

Ahsoka comes to me. "Do you know where he is?"

I sigh. "Unfortunately, no."

They all look down. I just wish I could help even more. It was then that Leo talked.

"What about Ezra's friend?" Everyone looks at him. "He said he had a friend in the Empire."

Sabine and Zeb look at each other. "Zare Leonis."

I look at them. "Zare who?" I ask.

Sabine turns to me. "It was a while back. Ezra was undercover at an Empire Academy. He met these two kids. One of them was Zare. He help Ezra and the other kid, Jai Kell, escape. He stayed behind to find his sister. He's been giving us information whenever he can."

"Oh."

Sabine turns to Hera. "We can ask him about Ezra."

Hera nods. "And we'll plan it from there."

Sabine leaves to find a transmitter, Zeb following her.

Hera looks at me. "Thank you for telling us, Lyra."

I smile at her. "Anything for Ezra."

She smiles back and continues talking with Kanan and Ahsoka. I walk out of the room and look for Sabine and Zeb. I find them trying to figure something out.

"What are you doing?" I ask them.

"We're trying to find out Ezra's password." Zeb replied, his eyes still on the hologram.

I sit down next to them. "Well, what did you try?"

Sabine sinks into the seat, letting Zeb take over. "Well, we tried the Rebellion, the Ghost, his planet, Myra, and the Bridger family."

"Here let me try."

Sabine scoots over for me. I type in his parents names. It didn't work. I put my head into my hand. What would Ezra put his password as? It has to be something important to him.

That's when it hit me. I type it in and smile. It worked. We're in.

The two look at me. "What did you put in?" Sabine asks.

I turn around and look at them. "Family."

Zeb looks at me confused. "Why 'at?"

I smile. "Because no matter what….family is more important to him than anything else." I look down. "He told me that a long time ago."

The two look at me, sadness in their eyes. They turn to the holoprojector and search for Zare's name.

"Found it." Sabine says. She pushes a button and dark skin, teenage boy shows up.

"Hey, De–" He looks at us. "You aren't Dev."

"No duh, Sherlock." I roll my eyes.

He decides to ignore me. "What's going on? Where's Dev?"

Sabine looks at him. "Zare, Ez- Dev was captured by the Empire."

Zare gasps. "No way! Dev can't be!"

I nod and look down. "He was."

He looks at us with sympathy. "I'll look through the data base and see if I can find him."

I look up at him. "Oh and his real name is Ezra Bridger."

He raises a brow. "Ezra Bridger? As in the Jedi?"

"Yep." Sabine says, popping the 'p.' "He told me that he was going to tell you but got chase away by troopers."

Zare nods in realization. "Yea, I remember that." An alarm blares behind him. He turns around to see troopers running behind him.

"I have to go." He turns back to us. "I'll see what I can do. See you guys soon."

He turns off the transmission, leaving us in utter silence.

I turn to them. "What do we do now?"

"I guess we wait." Zeb answers.

Silence takes over.

"I'm going to check on Myra." I exit the room, leaving the two with each other.

I walk down the hall into our room. Myra was still there. Though judging by her breathing paces, she's awake.

"Hey, Myra." I sit down on the bed.

She turns around sleep still in her eyes. "Hey."

"I've got to tell you something."

She looks away. "I know. I know that you contacted Ezra."

I look at her in surprise. "How did you know?"

"I woke up from you talking with Sabine. I heard what you said. What Ezra said."

My eyes soften as I scoot closer to her. "Hey, it going to be fine. We contacted Zare. He'll tell us where he is."

She looks at me with confusion. "Zare?"

I'm guessing Ezra didn't tell her.

"Zare is a friend of Ezra. He's an inside man in the Empire."

She looks down. "Oh."

Silence regained itself once more.

I get up from the bed. "Come on, let's see what we can do while we wait."

She looks at me and hesitantly gets up. "O-okay."

We walk out of the bedroom and start walking around. But, we both know that we won't be able to concentrate on anything.

Anything besides Ezra.

Please, Ezra. Don't do anything stupid. Don't get yourself killed before we get there.

Zare's POV

After the transmission, I went to see what was going on. Apparently, some rebels are attacking.

It can't be the Ghost crew. They just contacted me. As I got closer, I see that it's a group of three.

They are all humans. One of them has dark brown hair and blue eyes. He has peach skin. He's wearing a blue long sleeved shirt and black pants.

Another has dark brown hair and light brown eyes. She has light dark colored skin. She's wearing a colorful armor, covering her from the waist to the neck. She is also wearing gray pants. Blasters and other weapons were on her belt. She somewhat looked familiar.

The last one seems to be around thirteen. He has black hair with green eyes. He has tan skin. And he's wearing a yellow shirt and blue pants. He also seemed familiar.

As I watched from a corner, they knocked out each and every stormtroopers there was. As soon as the last trooper was on the floor, the three teens walked over to the door.

What do they want?

I get closer to them as the youngest one pickpockets the door.

He reminds me of De-Ezra.

I carefully watch them as the boy opens the door. They walk in and I follow them once more. They knocked out many more troopers and headed to Bay 15.

Why would they….

Realization dawned upon me. They're going to steal the weapons. These weapons are powerful. Powerful enough to destroy a village.

I wonder what they're going to do with them. As the boy goes through the vent, the other two wait for him. Soon the door opens.

They walked inside and went to the crates.

"Well, we got what we wanted." The oldest one says. "Let's hurry."

I sigh. I'm going to regret this, but what if those weapons get in the wrong hands. What am I saying? They're already in the wrong hands.

Besides, the Empire will kill me if they found out that I didn't do anything. And I can't let that happen.

I aim my blaster at the oldest of them, making sure it's set on stun, and shoot. He dodges it, when he turns around, and looks in my direction. Looks like I'm in trouble. I run out and start shooting at them.

The boy comes running up to me, dodging each and every shot. Ugh, I can't see anything with this helmet. If only I can take them off, but no. The stupid Empire says we can't.

The boy dodges once more and hits my hand, making me drop my blaster. He punches me in the face, the gut twice and kicked me in the leg. Now I know how the troopers feel when they're punched by the lasat. It hurts. A lot. It feels like he's made out of metal!

I fall to the ground, my cadet helmet coming off. I hear the girl gasp as I grimace in pain.

"Zare?" I hear her whisper in uncertainty.

Footsteps slowly walk up to me.

"D! What are you doing?! We need to go! The Rebellion needs these supplies!"

I see the footsteps stop in front of me. I slowly, and painfully, look up. Right above me was the girl.

"Zare…." she asks again.

I look at her, half conscious. "How…how do you know…. my name?" I speak through the pain.

"Please….don't tell me you've forgotten your own sister?" She says with sorrow in her voice.

My eyes widen as I take in her appearance once again. Flashbacks came back, reminding me of all the fun and dark times we had together.

I blink and look at her. "D-Dhara?"

She nods. "Uh, huh."

The pain immediately goes to the back of my mind, being replaced by surprise, confusion, and anger.

I sit up, ignoring the pain, and glare at her. "W-Where have you've been?! I've been searching for y-you everywhere! D-Did you k-know how worried I was?!"

She looks down. "I know." She whispers. "I knew how worried you were."

"Then why d-didn't you tell me?!"

She looks up at me. "Because if I did, you would be in trouble, hurt, and in more pain!"

I didn't say anything. Nobody did.

She was….protecting me….?

I look away. "You….you were protecting me? Why?" I whisper.

She looks away. "If I told you, the Empire would've known and captured the both of us. I couldn't risk it. I couldn't risk putting you in danger. I couldn't lose you." She pauses. "Not like Father. Not like Mother. Not again."

I hear myself take a sharp intake of breath.

Father. Mother.

We hadn't talked about either of them since their…..departure. No one mentioned them and they never did…..until now.

I look at her. "Just d-don't scare me again."

She slightly smiles. "I can't promise that…but I'll try."

I stand up. "So tell me….what happened?"

Dhara opens her mouth about to tell, when there was shouting outside the door.

"Open this door immediately!"

I look at the door and back to her. "Go."

Dhara shakes her head. "No, not again."

"I'll be fine. Just stun me and go." I sternly say.

She shakes her head once more. "I won-"

"Just do it! If you want to get out of here alive, leave me behind." I put my helmet back on and step back. "Do it. Now!"

Dhara shakily takes out her blaster and aims at me. "I'm sorry."

"I know. Just be safe and stay with the Rebellion."

She nods. "Of course." She stuns me thrice.

I fall to the ground, barely holding my consciousness. I see Dhara runs off to her crew, tears in her eyes.

The door opens, revealing Agent Kallus and at least twenty troopers behind him.

"What is going on here?!" He bellows.

He sees Dhara and her crew running off. Kallus points at them.

"Get them!"

As I lay there, barely holding on to my consciousness, I see the ship leave and make the hyper jump to who knows where.

As my vision gets darker, I think of one thing. Actually….two things.

Dhara and I will see each other again. I also have to get the info for the Ghost crew….after I gain consciousness.

And a moment later, I black out.

Sabine's POV

Here I am, pacing in the room, waiting for Zare to send a signal back.

I stop walking and groan. "He's taking forever!"

I sit down with a sigh. I feel Zeb pat my back hesitantly and awkwardly.

"'Ey, he might be havin' some problems." He says.

"I guess." I say still looking down.

I hear him stand up and walk over to the door. "I'll be back."

He steps outside and the door closes. I sigh once more. How much longer will it take? We can't just wait here all day. I wish Zare would hurry.

I hear the door open and I look up.

"Hey." Hera greets.

"Hey."

Hera sits down next to me. Neither of us said a word. Silence hung around us.

"So." I hear Hera say. "Zeb told me about Zare. Did he send a signal back yet?"

I shake my head. "No."

Once again, silence took over.

"Well…." Hera starts. "While we wait, how about we do something about the plan. We could use your help."

I look at her and nod. "Okay."

We walk out of the room and headed to the conference room.

"So what's the plan so far?"

Hera turns around once we reached the others. She told me.

"That's what we have so far." Ahsoka says. "We'll figure out the rest when…Zare, was it?...tells us where he is."

I nod. "I think we should make some changes or a backup plan in case something happens. You know how much the Empire likes to surprise us."

"Of course." Kanan says as the others nod.

I cross my arms in front of me. "Well, what are we waiting for?"

We all start to make some changes and a backup plan. I really hope Ezra is okay. I hope Zare can get the info. I hope Myra and Lyra are okay.

I just wish everything can turn out good for once.

Lyra's POV

We've been walking for awhile now and still haven't found anything to do. I sigh and lean against the wall.

"There is absolutely nothing to do here." I yelled.

Myra shrugs. "I'm sure we'll find something."

I smile. "Alright, come on."

We continue to walk around until we found….nothing. We had searched the entire ship and hadn't found anything to do. We wouldn't even play those games on the hologram.

I sigh and look at the pad. We've been searching for about an hour. Zare must've gotten the info by now.

I turn to Myra. "Hey." She turns to me. "How about we see if Zare got the info?"

Myra nods. "Okay."

We turn around and start walking down the hall. We walk into the room and see a transmission waiting for us. I walk over to it and accept it. (Me: Again, I don't know how it works.)

Floating above the hologram is Zare.

"Hello, Zare." I greet. "Do you have it?"

He nods. "Yes, I do. I'm sending it to you now."

"Okay."

A minute later, the info is sent and downloaded.

I look at Zare. "Thank you."

He smiles. "No problem. Anything for De-Ezra."

I nod. "I'll keep you updated."

He nods back. "Thank you. And when you get him, make sure he doesn't get into anymore trouble."

I chuckle. "Of course."

Zare looks at Myra. "You must be Myra." He says, surprising her. "E-Ezra told me a lot about you."

Myra nods hesitantly, not saying anything.

I smile at her. "It takes awhile to earn her trust." I look at him. "Besides, she doesn't want to talk much right now. So, no worries."

"Okay." He looks over his shoulder. "I have to go. Don't want to get caught." He looks back at us. "I'll see you guys soon. Bye, Myra. Bye…."

I smile. "Lyra. It's Lyra."

He smiles back. "Goodbye, Lyra."

The transmissions is turned off, leaving us in utter silence once more. I look at Myra and smile.

"Let's see what Zare sent us."

Myra looks at me and gives a slight smile. I pull the info up and see what's on it.

I gasp. "No…."

No….not there.

Zare's POV

"Bye, Lyra."

I turn off the transmission and go to my room. I look around. It so….empty. I sigh.

It was simpler back then. Before we were forced to work for the Empire. Before we had lost our planet. Before I lost Dhara. Before….my parents were killed.

I sigh once more and sit down on the bed, deep in thought. I had woken in the infirmary. They sent me back to my room to get more rest. On my way there, I got the info from the main computer.

And that's when everything else happened.

De-Ezra can be so reckless sometimes. If only he thinks before he acts. If only he wasn't caught. Then we wouldn't be in this mess.

He wouldn't be in this mess.

I lay down and pull the blanket over me, letting sleep take over.

Why do you have to be so reckless, Dev? Why do you attract trouble to yourself? Why?

Ezra's POV

I've been sitting here in the cold, dark cell for awhile now.

The Empire tripled the security and they're using force-suppressors on me. Even my tricks won't work on them. The bucket-heads were probably told not to open the door at any cost.

There isn't a way out of here. If only there was a way. If only I could find a way out of here. If only–

The door opens, revealing the inquisitors. Startling me, I fell off the metal bench and onto the cold floor.

The seventh sister laughs. "Aww, he can't keep his balance. Do you need some help?"

I glare at her. "Not from you, I don't." If looks could kill, she would be dead right now.

She chuckles. "I see you are as stubborn as ever."

I glare at her harder. "And I can see you're still ugly from the last time I saw you."

She growls. "Enough!" She turns to the fifth brother. "You know what to do."

The fifth brother nods. He walks up to me and takes out his lightsaber. The glowing red color bouncing off the walls of the cell.

"You will tell us information about the Rebellion and you will join us!" The seventh sister commands. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

I snort. "As if I'll ever tell you or join you, Greeny."

"The hard way it is." She growls through her teeth. She looks at the fifth brother. "I'll leave you two alone." Seventh sister looks at me, a smirk on her face. "Have fun, pretty boy."

I gave her my most deadly glare as she left the cell. I turn my head to the fifth brother.

He looks at me. His glassy eyes staring right through me. As if he can see my soul and memories.

Nothing was said. Neither of us moved. All was silent…

…until the fifth brother started to slowly walked over to me. His saber being dragged across the metal floor, burning it instantly.

Chains were connected to my hands and ankles, making me unable to move. I immediately knew what was going to happen next.

The saber comes dragging across my arm, putting a huge gash there. I grimace and bite my lip.

I have to stay strong.

Another burn and cut on my leg.

I can not break. I have to do it for the Rebellion.

Many more burns, cuts, and bruises were shown on my body.

For my friends.

A kick to the stomach.

For Myra.

A punch onto my burnt arm.

For Lyra.

The saber comes down onto my face, on top of the scar.

For Sabine. For Hera. For Kanan.

Another strike comes down.

For Zeb. For Chopper.

A punch in the face.

For my parents.

Many more strikes. I look down to the floor as I lose consciousness. The final reason reached my mind as darkness soon enveloped me.

For my family.

Me: So, I hope you all liked it. I'll upload the next chapter on Saturday.

Little Sis: (Runs in) Come on! We're going to be late!

Me: I'm coming. I'm coming.

Little Sis: Well, hurry up! (Runs back out)

Me: Welp, that's my cue. Ret! See ya all next week! (Live recording ends)
