Hello, if the last time is short, this is longer. And, this is the last chapter (Or is it ?!) Nah, Just let's get to the story.
"Ezra !" Mira shouted.
"Leave them alone !" Ezra shouted with fear but no anger inside.
"Of course. You're their son. Ezra Bridger, son's of Mira and Ephraim Bridger. What do you say boy…? Give back the weapons, or they die…!" One of the elite troopers said. Sabine begins to twitch. She recognized that voice, but she couldn't remember. Ezra can't believe. After 8 years for the first time he meets his parents again. He wants his parents back, but if they give the crates, many species and possibly them will die. Kanan senses his padawan's fear. But he felt something else. Kanan than takes the move.
Kanan than give a command with his hand to Sabine and then he look at Kallus.
"Fine. I'll give them back"
"Good Jedi," one of the elite troopers said. Sabine being annoyed by their voices. She then tries to remember again where did she know that voice. but she has more things to do. Moving the memories aside, She comes back to reality. Kanan steps forward and forces push Kallus. The troopers help him to stand up.
"Specter 5 now!" Kanan said. Sabine throws a smoke bomb and begins to fire. One of the elite storm troopers that hold Ephraim got shot, but he's a high elite trooper. That'll not stop him. Ephraim helps Mira and they run. But then Kanan sense a disturbance. Suddenly an inquisitor (the male one not the pau'an. You know who…) jump from a ship. Kanan and Ezra advance to the inquisitor, It's good that Ezra had learned how to use the lightsaber more often. It helps him at lightsaber combats. They already faced an inquisitor, but this is different. More skillful, powerful, and dangerous. The imperial ship begins to fire at the ghost. Hera can't take it anymore.
"Guys, I'll need to clear the skies... I'll be back in a jiffy." Hera said, flying the ghost attacking the imperial ship.
"No problem specter 2, we have a lot of things to handle," Zeb said. He then ignites his Bo-rifle and begin to charge at Kallus. Kallus see him, quickly he ignite his own Bo-rifle and begin to battle.
"Go! we'll cover you…" said Sabine. She attacks the four high elite troopers. She doesn't underestimate this 4 troopers. She knows that these troopers aren't the ordinary bucket heads. The tactics, aiming, fighting, they are different and more difficult than the others. But there is nothing that Sabine can't handle. While she's shooting and taking cover, one of the trooper left and sneak into Zeb's back. While he isn't watching, Kallus then shouted "NOW !". The trooper jump and cling to Zeb while pulling his neck. Zeb growl and start to reaching the trooper behind him. The ghost crew didn't realize that Kallus switch with the troopers. That's when Zeb's arm being held by 2 troopers, and another one hold his legs. He starts to fall and one of the troopers knock him out.
The inquisitor starts to only dodge the lightsabers. And when Zeb 's down, The inquisitor kicks Kanan and Ezra then he force push them. They fall hard, Kanan stands up again, but Ezra can't hold the headache. His vision begins to blur, and then he slips into darkness. Looking his padawan unconscious Kanan try to wake him up. But it was no use. the inquisitor slams Kanan to the ground and he faints.
Seeing her friends lying in the floor, Sabine fights Kallus with all of her strength. Suddenly she stops and begin to hold her throat. The inquisitor force chokes her. Kallus then stab his Bo-rifle towards her, electrocuting her. Sabine can't breathe and shout in pain at the same time. The pain flows into her veins and every corner of her body. She can't stand it anymore, she didn't care if she dies. Even if she has to, she will die with her friends.
Zeb hears something familiar. Something he always hears before and after the destruction of the Lasats. The sound is like a sound of a- Bo-Rifle. He begins to open his eyes and see Kallus hurting his best friend. He doesn't want to lose another friend or even a family. He rises at his feet flinging the troopers and taking his Bo-rifle.
"DON'T TOUCH HER !" Zeb growls and charges Kallus. Kallus then turn back facing the Lasat. At the same time, Kanan feels a warning from the force. His family is in danger. He begins to wake up activating his lightsaber and attack the inquisitor. The inquisitor fights back and Sabine falls to the ground. Ezra begins to stir, he sees his master fighting the inquisitor and Zeb fighting Kallus. He look around and see Sabine lying on the ground. Seeing Sabine with smokes coming from her armor, he come towards Sabine.
"Uh... Sa- no. Specter 5 ! wake up." Ezra said shaking. Sabine begins to open her eyes and moan.
"Cmon. let's get you to the ghost." Ezra takes her arm and put it on his back of his shoulders. Sabine can't breathe and walk normally because of the pain she suffers. Ezra takes her blasters from the ground and starts walking. Zeb starts to swing his Bo-rifle towards Kallus. Kanan attacks the inquisitor just like he attacks the Pau'an the last time. But this inquisitor doesn't give him a chance. Kanan tries to find other ways and it works. The inquisitor stumbles a bit and Kanan give a cut on the chest. The inquisitor steps back and holds his chest. Kanan charges him again, but the inquisitor jump into the air and a ship catches him then the ship flies away. The ghost land and opens the cargo bay. Zeb is still attacking Kallus. The memories of the Lasats makes him stronger to fight. Kallus swings his Bo-rifle and Zeb catch it with his feet. "what ?!" He begins to pull his Bo-rifle, but Zeb's clench became harder. Zeb strikes Kallus and he begins to fall back. Kallus stands up, but Zeb points his Bo-rifle to his head. "what ? so you gonna kill me ?". Zeb then deactivates his Bo-rifle.
"No. I'm not like a sick men killing things." Zeb then punches Kallus hard in the head and he becomes unconscious. Zeb runs to the crew and walks towards the ghost. Ephraim is there, but he is unconscious and begin to wake up.
"Dad are you alright...?" Ezra said still holding Sabine.
"Mi- Mira..." Ephraim said with a slight headache. They all look back and see the 4 troopers with one of them holding Mira in the neck and put the blaster on her head.
"One step forward and she's dead." the trooper threaten them. the crew just stare.
"Put your weapons down ! Hands up in the air where we can see them !" The other trooper said. They put the weapons down put their hands in the air. But Sabine, she resist to do that. Panting, she takes her blasters from Ezra and move forward in front of Kanan. She raise the blasters and aim it to the troopers.
"I said put the weapons down or she dies !" The trooper shouted. "Specter 5, just put it down." Sabine didn't hear what Kanan said. She still aims it.
"I SAID DOWN !" Sabine still refuse. The voice, the anger... She remembers that.
Flashback
Sabine and her mentor walked on the corridors. dimmed lights, grey walls, white floor, that is all that Sabine only see. She was 9 and already learn at the Imperial academy when she was 3. Her mentor then said to her.
"You're a great cadet. You have already know what I know. now you are cadet A5-01, and will be teach by the high elite troopers. When you are ready, it's your time to be like them. Don't you ever question them."
"Yes sir..." Said Sabine. The door opened and revealing 5 Trooper.
"Is this the cadet ?" one of the trooper said.
"Yes sir..." Sabine's mentor said.
"What's your name kid ?" The other trooper said.
No. She isn't Sabine. The empire making her like a slave, a pion, a robot. "I am cadet A5-01."
"Well then let's start shall we...? Start with step 1 : We don't show mercy and pity. We are troopers. In war there is no friendship or help. There is only death to the traitors and enemy..."
End of flashback
" I won't make the same mistake again..." Sabine muttered. Changing it to stun, She shoot Mira's leg and she falls. The trooper feel the weight and starts to fall. Sabine run towards them and shooting the trooper making him to lose the grip of his weapon. She kicks his head and shoot other troopers and they fall.
"Go !" Sabine yelled at Mira. Mira then run to the crew.
"No ! we are not leaving you !" Ezra shouted.
"Just make sure they're safe" Sabine said struggling with the storm troopers. Sabine tackle the trooper but miss. The trooper punch back and she dodge it. Sabine knew their tactics. The trooper have a little knife covered in poison. He stab it but Sabine already knew that. She move a side, hold the trooper and punch the back of his neck. The trooper fell fainting. Sabine then see the other 3 trooper rises and one of them charges Sabine.
Sabine fights with the trooper while the other two shooting at her.
Memories…
Sabine holds the attack and kick him in the stomach.
Lies…
The trooper only steps back and fights back.
Deaths…
The guilty, the pain, and the sorrow. Sabine feel very guilty. She learn so many from them but the things she learned, only brings death to many citizens, innocent peoples, and also Jedis… The memory is so painful, Sabine isn't focusing on the fighting. Suddenly, Sabine felt a massive pain on her right shoulder and her hip. Sabine fall into her knees and see 2 blaster wounds. She grip the blaster wound on her hip with her right hand and hold her for not falling with her uninjured hand. She look up and there's a gun pointing at her. Sabine could only gasp in pain. The trooper recognized her…
"Wait… It can't be- cadet…?!" The trooper said in shock
Sabine takes breath every word "Not- any- more…" The troopers then heard the sound of ticking and look back to see a bomb. Sabine then take the detonator and push the button. The bomb explodes and killing all of the 4 trooper. But Sabine also get injured. Her helmet lose from her head and her head slams to the wall hardly and falls to the ground. She gets cuts, bruises, and also many burn marks. Her blood dripping from the wounds and also some blood from her head making a small puddle. Sabine close her eyes letting the darkness takes place.
"Sa- Specter 5 !" Ezra yelled almost calling her name. He runs into her side, Kanan following him. A ship filled with storm troopers land not far away from them.
"I can still feel her signature. But she's weakening. Let's get her to the ghost." Kanan scoop her and carry her bridal style. His shirt gets wet because of the blood. They run to the ghost while Ezra take Sabine's helmet from the ground then defend them with his lightsaber and Zeb shooting.
"Hurry up ! Can't hold it much longer !" Zeb said shooting the troopers. They all get aboard and the ghost flies away. Kallus wakes up and see the ghost.
"Sir, they've escape again." The trooper commander said.
"Not to worry. Inside one of the crates is a bomb. Inspired by the high elite troopers story. We will honor their death by capturing this Rebels and bring them to Lord Vader. We can locate where the bomb is taken and send the Star destroyer to that destination. "
"Sir, there is only 1 destroyer that's free to go. The other are working on other things."
"That's not a problem to me… Just bring the Tie fighters and prepare that destroyer. Captain, I give the permission to capture this Rebels. I'll be in my office"
"Yes sir…" an officer beside him give him a salute and run to the destroyer.
" The Rebels won't know what's coming."
At the ghost
"Mom, Dad, You're alive !" Ezra hug his parents.
"It's good to see you too sport." Said his dad
"You're growing taller Ezra." Mira said. Ezra smiles at them. His family is back. But one of his family got injured. He then look to Kanan who's holding Sabine.
Kanan pass Sabine to Zeb "Zeb, bring her to the med ba-"
"that's not necessary love…" Hera cutting of Kanan with a sad face.
"Why ?! She need medical intention and that's now !" Ezra said with worry.
"The ship takes damage. And it destroys the med bay system and others. We need to go to The Rebels ship. Sabine will get a better medical intention their. But the bacta tank is out and we can't go to a med center. It will crawling with imperials…" Hera sigh. She feel losing hope.
Zeb put Sabine on the floor and her back resting at the wall. Ezra hold the bleeding on her hip and Zeb on her shoulder. Sabine wimp a little and move her head. She wakes up.
"It's okay Sabine… we'll fix you up. Somehow…" Ezra said with tears in his eyes looking at Sabine who's feeling in a very painful situation.
" Welcome home Sabine…" Kanan sigh. He puts one of his arm around Hera and Hera looking very worry, thanking that she survived the bomb. Hera and Kanan then talks to Mira and Ephraim.
"No one- beats me- in my- game." Sabine smirk taking a breath every time. Feeling tired.
"I know that Sabine..." Zeb hold her hand, he will never leave his injured best friend alone. He swear that he will help his friend and also his family in need.
"Take a rest Sabine, you'll need it. Zeb and I will take care of you until we arrive at the Rebel ship" Ezra said holding the tears. He doesn't want to lose something important from his life again. Once is enough.
Sabine nod. She feels really relieve that she had done the mission. Holding the massive pain and the bleeding, she let Zeb and Ezra help her. leaning her head to the wall and close her eyes, Sabine takes a rest. She is home.
