Ezra sat on the couch in the dark of night, everyone else asleep, the room barely lit by neon signs outside, leaning forward resting his elbows atop his knees, and his hands clasped together in front of his mouth, bouncing his knee slowly at first before speeding up, he stared at Sabine on the bed with the Iv stand next to her. Just sitting all night.

Ezra jumped up from the couch in shock almost punching Rex, looking around he saw the warm light shine through the non-curtained windows. The clone holding onto his nerves the whole time. "Sorry… didn't mean to startle you, we're going out, got to get a way off here, we've been here like a month now, we can't hide any longer, it's pure luck we were hidden this long"

"You got it Rexy boy" Ezra laughed poking his head out the door flicking it from side to side like a meerkat. "Clear, we should move. Now" with that, Ezra and the clone slyly ran across the road into a nearby alley, the metal and cream looking buildings with bright Neon signs attached. Ducking behind rubbish piles when they heard the beat like footsteps of the imperial troopers.

"Uh huh sir, if they're here we'll find them" The trooper stopped for a second looking down the alleyway as he placed the commlink back on his belt. "Nothing here, just like the rest of this backwater planet. Hope we get to leave soon; a month is far too long to spend here"

Kanan sat in his room aboard the Ghost meditating. "C'mon Hera… I know you're alive… just tell me where?" Slowly pictures flashed in his mind, foggy, blurred, images, he could almost make out an outline, but everything was so dark atop it all. "DAMN IT!" Kanan growled loudly to the point of screaming, before regaining his calm. A knock on the door distracting him

"Kanan, I might have an idea of where they could be. Meet me in the common room" Kristina didn't stick around after dropping that bombshell, Kanan sat in his cross-legged pose a while longer, in complete silence and darkness, before standing up and turning to his bed and the draws under it.

Slowly he knelt in front of the bed, opening the middle draw, looking inside the grey metal draw he saw his lightsaber with its round disk handguard, and next to his saber, he saw an almost silver metal lightsaber hilt, with a thin rectangle shape hollow in the middle with a round rubber grip on one side, and the other was a square prism shape, two slight indents at the top, and on the side of the top. Hesitating between which to pick up for but a moment, before grabbing his more common looking lightsaber. With the weapon attached to his belt alongside his blaster in its holster.

"Alright now that we're all here, I think that there wasn't far for the ship to go, the hyperdrive wasn't strong enough to actually get far, at most one or two systems possibly, although if that was what happened his ship would still be making its way here, meaning that he tried a long jump and the engine went boom. Good news is if that happened the worst that could have occurred was the ship…" Kristina paused before muttering under her breath "…crashing, freefalling and burning up" Looking at Chopper, she gave him a gesture and he projected a galactic map, pointing at four separate planets she spoke again "These four are the safe ones he could have landed, and these six are the ones most likely for the ship's hyperdrive to burn up around"

"So what? Which one do we check first?" Kanan questioned sitting on the couch leaning forward towards the map, the ten planets highlighted in red.

"The Empire might have helped with that, out of the six planets, four have had reports of small rebel activity, and of the four safe ones, absolutely zero rebel presence detected. There were also two outlier planets that could be possible for them to have crashed onto, but there's been reports of major disruption to imperials in that region, and I doubt Ezra and three injured half dead people could do that" Kristina continued her thought but stopped for a second when she saw Chopper lean back and forth, beeping wildly.

"Wait Chop, what do you mean that those are the ones he'd be at… I mean Ezra can be dumb but, the kid ain't that dumb" Zeb laughed at the thought, Kanan staring at the droid and Lasat in silence.

"Well… I mean… it's possible. Maybe we split into two groups, check the others first. But he could be there, any of these planets have bright signs all over their cities? Or anything with bright coloured lights?" Kanan stared at Kristina who stared at a second before snapping back to the present.

"Uh… Y-Yeah, both of the high rebel activity planets, and one of the lesser ones… why?"

"Just something I saw, let's head to the more likely, then the ones that might actually be difficult to escape from" Kanan didn't speak another word, walking into the cockpit piloting the ship, as it rushed into a blue and white blur.

Hours later

Ezra, limped through the city, winding alleyways and streets, troopers chasing behind him, until he reached a dead end, clutching his left arm in pain, he looked around, twenty stormtroopers closing in, he saw an assortment of items on the beige wall that towered above far into the sky, signs, window ledges, and fire escapes. Getting as much power as possibly he bent down before leaping up grabbing onto the fire escapes and signs, leaping from wall to wall in the alleyway the buildings cramped placement allowing for him to jump from side to side, ledge to ledge, until he managed to reach a ledge of the roof, pulling himself up, with a groan. Blood dripping out the corner of his mouth he wiped the blood off before trying to run, a staggered and slow limp was all he could manage as he stumbled.

Kanan watched from his seat in the cockpit as they flew into the atmosphere of Bespin, landing at a white city in the clouds. The group disembarked the Ghost, stepping down the ramp.

Kristina looked to Kanan then around at the white floating city, it had massive white domed buildings. Citizens in blue outfits greeted them, guards. Kanan's faint smile faded as he noticed a very familiar face behind the guards.

"Ah Kanan! What a surprise… Welcome to cloud city!" The man spoke stepping forward, his skin was dark with short black hair, and a grey shirt with an open V shape going down to the centre of his chest almost, the surrounding area of the shirt a dark grey, and the rest was a lighter grey. The man wore grey formal pants alongside his outfit.

Kanan stopped staring at the man and responded. "Lando… We lost some of our crew, we were hoping they were here" Kanan watched as the man looked at the orange sky around them stroking his chin

"That is unfortunate… I'd love to help but they aren't here, I could help you find them… For a price" Kanan raised his fist to hit the man, Kristina stopping him.

"Alright let's all calm down here, I'm sure we can come to an agreement" Kristina tried to reason with the smuggler. To which he gave a sly smirk

"We could… come to some agreement, I'm sure of that lovely." Kristina laughed as he spoke

"Alright I'm killing him" about to grab her blaster Kanan watching, Ahsoka next to him

"Kanan you should do something" Ahsoka spoke to the man as he stood there watching her ready her blaster pulling it from her holster

"Nah, I want to see this play out"

"Alright, alright. You got fire, I like that in a woman… How about an upfront fee of 200 Credits, and an extra 1000 credits after we find your friends" He spoke with unnatural calmness for a man with a gun in his face.

"200 upfront and then 450 upon completion" She returned, Kanan and Ahsoka's heads turning between the two as they spoke.

"Two hundred, seven fifty."

"How about two hundred then six hundred?" the two smirked, Kristina lowering, then holstering the blaster, before shaking the smugglers hand.

"You my fine lady, have a deal. We'll look around and find your friends. Once the upfront fee is paid" Lando laughed as he watched the Lasat and Jedi speak, Kristina joining them as they walked into the Cargo hold,

"If you want to find Rex it's the only way!" Kanan argued

"We do this, we find Ezra and the rest, or we can pray we find them before the empire"

"Fine" the Lasat and Togruta agreed.

Kristina stepped slowly down the ramp back to Lando with a small box of credits. Lando laughed and rubbed his hands as he grabbed the box. The two locking eyes.

"We'll find your friends, and inform you once we do" Kristina walking away, her hips swaying slightly. While Lando watched, her long black hair not hidden under an imperial hat gently swaying in the wind. "And if your ever here again, my room is always open for you!"

Kanan and Kristina sighed in disgust as he spoke, the ramp raising. "What a prick" Kanan looked to Kristina who simply nodded. The two laughing, before returning to the common room.

"God that was a Handful. Next time it might be best just to shoot him?" Kristina chuckled behind her hand as she spoke.

"Let me do the Honour though" Kanan responded, Zeb entering the grey room approaching holotable and couch

"What I would give to see him squirm" Zeb added, the trio laughing over the thought of killing the scoundrel.

Ezra groaned in pain,

"I-Is this it?" He coughed grabbing at his leg tightly, sitting on the roof. Barely able to sit up. "T-This ca-can't be it… I'll be f-f-fine" He watched as the dark night skys filled with search lights, gunships flying around.

Hera was sitting quietly, rubbing a wet cloth over Sabine's head cleaning some wounds before applying a bandage around the injuries. Groaning as she felt at the bandage over her head. She sighed leaning back in the chair next to Sabine. Rex slipping in, locking the door. Chuckling as he pulled a strange box with a few switches from behind his back. Placing it on the table next to Sabine's bed. He fiddled quietly with switches and dials, low static and buzzing filling the room, until a fuzzy voice could be heard, familiar to Hera.

"W-… -s this?... Ide-… yourself" Rex cheered before quickly adjusting two dials and pressing some buttons. Hera pushing him out the way.

"Lando, never thought I'd be happy to hear your voice… We need your help"

"Oh, here comes a big pay for me… Hold tight, sending your Coordinates to someone nearby, much more useful than I would be… And Hera, I'll be thinking of you till we meet next" with that the communication cut out.

Ezra laughed, as he stumbled to his feet attempting to walk, his body leaning from side to side, Ezra couldn't even take one step straight. The roof started to come to an end, and Ezra sighed, channelling all he could from the force, leaping across the rooftop to the next. Repeating this process as stormtrooper patrols marched the street. Groaning he saw a gunship approaching, the light almost on him, grumbling in annoyance he looked behind him at the ledge, and all the rubbish in the alleyway bellow. He stumbled backwards to the ledge, leaning back as his body plummeted down the alleyway, crashing into a fire escape breaking part of the durasteel metal platform off, sending it down with him, until both crashed into the ground with a loud thud. Stormtroopers could be heard, lying on the ground amidst the large piles of rubbish, he coughed repeatedly, leaning to the side as blood flew out his mouth. He groaned and tried to focus his vision, everything was blurred and the darkness of the dim grimy alleyway didn't help with it. Ezra rolled onto his stomach as footsteps echoed down the alleyway from the street a short distance away, the beige-coloured walls towering for what looked like miles above, Ezra grabbed at the ground pulling himself towards the rubbish, barely making it under the trash as troopers walked past, looking around, they saw nothing but a chunk of metal in the alleyway and a large pile of trash.
