Hello! I'm back! I know, I know. I always say that I'm going to actually get an updating scheduled, but this time I'm serious! Mostly. Anyway, enjoy the update!

Chapter 6

Kanan

Kanan ran in front of Zeb and Sabine down the long halls of the Star Destroyer. He could sense Ezra just down the hall, so close. Suddenly there was blaster fire, and the sound of running.

"Kanan! We have troopers on our tail!" yelled Sabine, pulling out her blasters. Zeb activated his bow rifle.

"You go find Ezra, Sabine and I can handle things here!" Zeb shouted as he struck down trooper after trooper. Kanan force pushed four troopers back to give the two crew members an advantage before continuing onward to find Ezra. He could feel Eza near him, but also many other people in a room next to him. The scientists, they have surveillance on everything in those rooms. He realized this as he peered into the room in which they were sitting. He looked at the power line that went from the security cameras in Ezra's rooms to the monitor. He could easily make the security footage loop, so they wouldn't suspect anything when he went in to get Ezra. Soon the scientists were looking at a fake security tape, and Kanan was hacking the lock to Ezra's territory.

Ezra

"Ezra!" called Tarka. "Ezra, come quick!" Ezra looked around, the sharp movement causing him to fall sideways. The lack of food and sleep was taking a toll on him He seemed almost drunk, unable to walk without support, and unable to speak normally. He struggled to his feet and leaned against the wall.

"Tarka? Nina?" he called, trying to pull himself forward.

"We're right here," they reassured him, appearing at his side. Era sighed in relief, and promptly fell over.

"Ezra, we have a problem," Nina whispered, crouching down beside him. "Your old master is here, He's hacking the locks on the door!"

Ezra looked up at this. "What should I do?" he asked, terror lacing his slurred words.

"He's coming to kill you, to finish what he started," Tarka whispered on his other side. Ezra looked at them fearfully. "I don't want to die at his hands!" he begged.

"You won't, you won't" Nina soothed. "But he's going to lie to you. He's going to pretend that he wants to help you. You can't fall for it, you can't let him get to you. The second you do, he will strike." Ezra nodded slowly, the movement making his head hurt even more than it already did.

They sat in silence for some time until they heard a click and the sound of a door sliding open.

"He's here."

Kanan

It took Kanan forever to force the lock, but finally the door slid open. The first thing he noticed when he stepped inside were the bodies. They lay strewn throughout the room, some with lightsaber wounds, others obviously strangled. He recognized Kelly Jones immediately, and noticed that she had received the roughest treatment. He walked past the corpses and towards the door at the opposite wall. He was about to walk through but stopped when he noticed the two bloody handprints. The same size as Ezra's hands. He was about to continue on when he heard a quiet murmuring. He listened closely and recognized Ezra's voice.

"Ezra?" he called tentatively. The voice stopped immediately. Then he heard uneven footsteps, and something crash into a wall. From the exclamation of 'Karabast!' he presumed it to be Ezra. "Ezra?" he called again. The footsteps grew closer, now the sound of a knife being dragged against a wall accompanied them. Just like it had been for the prisoners,. he realized in horror. Ezra wanted to kill him. Kanan made sure that his lightsaber was close, but desperately hoped that he would not need it. Soon he saw a shadow at the end of the hallway beyond the door standing stock still. . When Ezra stepped out of the doorway, Kanan was shocked by his appearance. His hair was hanging in his face, and his skin was deathly pale. There were large bags under his eyes, and his clothes hung loosely from his far too skinny frame. He seemed to be hanging onto the door for dear life, and swaying where he stood.

"So, you have come to finish what you started?" he asked with a voice as rough as sandpaper. Just those few words seemed to put too much strain on his voice.

"Finish what?" Kanan asked confusedly while holding out his hands. "Ezra what are you talking about?"

Ezra made a weird snarling noise which Kanan soon realised was laughter.

"Don't try it, Tarka warned me you'd play the fool. Nina showed me what you did to the crew. You've come to kill me, but I won't let you!" he said, his voice coming as close to a yell as it could.

"Ezra, the crew is fine, they're here on the Star Destroyer!" he yelled back.

"Liar!" he snarled, igniting his saber, and stalking towards Kanan using the wall to hold himself up. Kanan reluctantly ignited his own, but made no move to attack. Ezra was soon right in front of the doorway and lunged at Kanan, who easily deflected the blow.

"Ezra please! They were lying to you! We're all fine, I would never hurt them or you!" Kanan pleaded as he dodged more attacks.

"No, I saw you kill them, I saw you kill all of them! They're all dead!" he cried angrily, tears streaming down his face. Kanan was soon backed against the wall, still refusing to fight back. Ezra continued his rapid stream of attacks, all of which were being blocked.

Sabine

Sabine and Zeb fought hard. Their intense hatred for the Empire combined with their fury at Ezra's capture gave them tremendous strength. . Soon all of the bucketheads, with firebirds painted all over their armor,lay dead on the ground. "Come on Zeb, we need to buy Kanan more time!" Sabine yelled to the Lasot, who was busy electrocuting the bodies of the storm troopers with his new rifle. " Let's set off some explosives on the other side of the ship." Sabine reached into her bag and pulled out a couple of explosives and tossed them Zeb. "You go that way!" she yelled, pointing to a hallway. "I'll take this one!".

Ezra

Ezra continued to attack Kanan, but he was far from victorious. Ezra was too weak to even stand on his own and so, leaning against the wall the whole time, and missing completely.

"Ezra, Nina and Tarka are lying to you! They aren't real; they were created by the Empire to trick you!" Kanan yelled.

"Don't listen to him Ezra," said Nina. "You know we're real." Ezra snarled and again attacked his stricken master. "Hey Ezra," Tarka said from his shoulder. Ezra stopped and turned. "Yes?"

"He's going to kill you," she whispered.

Another chapter done! Next one coming out next Monday! (If nothing goes wrong, which it probably will.) Have a good one!
