I'm back! Oh, and actually the hint is Your answer will be letters. 2 letters (N.O), 3 letters(Y.E.S), 1 (?). I saw the e-mails some of you guys guess right. It's okay if you don't guess right. Maybe next time. You actually can google it. Let's get to the story!
without hesitating, Ezra opens the crate and look inside.
It's only E-11 blasters.
"Well, this is stupid..." Ezra said. He kicks the crate and the crate shakes a bit. Ezra wants to close it again, but suddenly he stares at the crate with a confuse face. Something is inside the crate after all. Ezra sees a red light coming out from under the blasters. He takes out all of the blasters and when already some of the blasters are removed, Ezra can see what's inside the crate. Ezra steps back and stares the crate in shock.
It's a bomb... Large one. The time bomb is ticking.
00:28:02
Ezra can't say anything. He's not a bomb squad, or even can defuse the bomb. What he can do is to tell the others. Ezra runs to the med bay where Kanan and Hera are talking. He bumps with some troopers, but that didn't stop him from warning the Rebellion about the bomb. Zeb is outside the med bay
"Ezra, what's the fuzz ?" Zeb said in front of him.
"No time Zeb I need to tell the others !" Ezra said he run passes Zeb and enter the med bay.
"Hey, you can't do that !" Zeb follows him. Ezra finds Hera, Kanan, the doctor, and Sabine. They are still talking about something.
"Slow down kid... What are you running from ?" Kanan said. Ezra is panting and after a short break he explain about the bomb.
"guys! when we stole the crates there is a black crate. When I check there were only blasters. But under the blasters there is a-" Ezra takes a short break. He is tired of running.
"What Ezra ?" Zeb asked him.
"THERE'S A BOMB! I'm not lying. Come on !" The ghost crew and the doctor except Ezra gasp and can't say a word. A bomb is in the Ship. If the bomb goes out, they'll lose another ship again. the more ships destroyed the more it's getting harder. Kanan then takes a move.
"Lead the way Ezra... Zeb, guard Sabine."
" Consider it done." Said Zeb
" Kanan, I want to help !" Sabine shouted. She doesn't want her injuries stop her from helping. She tries to go out from the bed, but the pain is getting worse. She fell from the bed and hold the blaster wound. Zeb helps her to get up. The ghost crew looks back. Hera sigh.
"Sabine. I have no choice, I'm sorry. Zeb, restrain her on the bed. Don't let her escape." Hera said. Zeb stares at Hera, she don't want Sabine to be restrained in the bed.
"Zeb! Now !" Hera shouted. With a heavy heart, Zeb holds Sabine into the bed and restrain her.
"Zeb, what are you doing...?! Release me !" Sabine yelled and she struggles to get off the bed. When He finished he steps back and open the door for the crew.
"Guys..." Sabine said. They are leaving her.
" Sorry Sabine. This is for your own good." Kanan sigh. and they all get out from the med bay closing the door. Leaving Sabine and her helmet beside her. But that won't stop her. She tries to get free from the restraint. Sabine looks around to see something that can help her. Sabine then sees a knife on a table in front of her. She then knows what to do.
"Zeb, keep an I here. don't let anyone comes to the med bay," Kanan said. Zeb nod. They run to the cargo hold, but Hera stops.
"Hera, is there something wrong ?" Ezra said looking back.
"We need to tell commander Sato and Ashoka. I'll tell them. you two just go to the cargo hold. Kanan and Ezra do as Hera said.
0:20:13
"There! That's the crate !" Ezra points at the crate. Kanan looks down and saw the bomb ticking.
"twenty minutes left..." Kanan mumbled. Hera, Commander Sato, and Ashoka come to the cargo hold.
"Why there is a bomb on my ship !" Sato said angrily.
"We don't know commander. All of these crates are already been checked. But the empire hid the bomb under these blasters so perfect." Hera explains to the commander.
"This bomb has to be eliminated. quick, throw it to space !" (Thak you guys for the idea) Sato commands one of the troopers. The trooper is ready to open the cargo hold but-
"I wouldn't do that If I were you." They all look at the same direction where the sound came. They all look shocked. It was Sabine holding her waist and using the wall to support her. She is using her helmet. Zeb then comes from behind and look at the crew. Hera glare at the two.
"Hera, I know you're angry. I can help-"
"No! Zeb, take her to the med bay"
"CAN YOU HEAR ME FOR A SEC ?!" The cargo hold turn to a silent room. No one dares to speak.
"I am here cause I know bombs. I've been at the academy learning this kind of things, and maybe I can help. Hera, please..." They all look at Hera.
"*sigh* Okay. But please be careful. I just don't want to lose you." Hera said
"I know Hera. Now where's the bomb, Ezra ?" Sabine limps towards the bomb where Ezra pointed. Sabine looks at the bomb.
"The time shows 13 minutes. Ezra, do you remember the time when you first found the bomb ?"
" Uh, 28 minutes."
"Ms. Wren, why we can't get this out? We can leave this out to space.." Said commander Sato.
"because this thing has a trigger. When it moves from this place, the bomb will explode. This thing is 2 times more dangerous than rhydonium. This bomb must be on when we put it here. Cause when it's turned on, it can't be moved more than 30 centimeters."
"So ?" Zeb asked
"There is a traitor..." When Sabine said that, one of the troopers move forward to look at the bomb. He knows what he's doing.
"So how are supposed to get this thing off ?" Kanan asked
"We have no choice. But to defuse it manually. Kanan slashes the sides of the crate but, be careful to not touch the bomb." Ordered Sabine. Kanan activates his lightsaber and cut the sides of the crate so they can see the bomb. It's big and the shape is complex. The trooper then sees the bomb. He then aims to the bomb. Ezra senses this and looks at the trooper. That's the trooper he saw when he first came here to see the crates.
"NO!" Ezra shouted. he forces push the trooper, and the shot missed to the wall. The trooper is arrested by Zeb.
"What is wrong with you trooper ?!" Commander Sato yelled.
"Wha- what's happening...? What are you talking about ?" The trooper looks confused.
"Kanan ?" Ezra looks at his master.
"Mind manipulation. The inquisitor must have hypnotized him. Put him in a safe place..." Zeb handed the trooper to one of the troopers friends.
"Commander Sato. I'm sorry, but you have to tell everyone in this ship to leave that includes you, sir. " Said Sabine.
"I won't leave this ship! One ship is destroyed and that's enough for me."
"Commander. This bomb will kill us all if the bomb explodes!". Suddenly, a star destroyer comes out from hyperspace.
"There's the ship! All Tie fighters shoot the cargo hold!" The captain said.
"How did they know we're here ?" Ezra asked
"That's because there is a tracking device." Kanan looks at the side of the bomb seeing a tracking device.
"Phoenix squadron, attack the Ties. Don't let them shoot the cargo hold! The shields won't hold if they keep shooting! Send coordinates for hyperspace" Commander Sato yelled at the com.
"Sir, we can't jump to hyperspace. The controls are broken." One of the blockade runers said. The ship gets blasted again and shakes.
"Commander Sato. Please, tell everyone to abandon ship. this ship is not safe." Sabine said.
"Indeed. All hands abandon ship! I repeat abandon ship!" Commander Sato said at the com. Everyone takes the escape pod. The ship gets another shot.
"That's it. Guys were getting involve again. Come on! Ashoka, you may join." Hera said. Ashoka nods and follow her. The ghost crew except Sabine run with Hera.
"Wait" They all look back at commander Sato.
"As the commander of the ship. I... would like to join you." Commander Sato smiles at the ghost crew.
"The more the merrier. Sabine, are you okay here alone...?" Ezra said
"It's okay Ezra." Sabine said
"Just, stay alive okay. We'll be back." Hera said. She just wants her to be safe. They all run to the ghost leaving Sabine with the bomb.
"Well, it's just you and me. Let's begin." Holding the pain from the wound, Sabine begins to work.
