It's finally here! Chapter 2 of The New Rebel. I had no plans on continuing this story after I posted it, but it was well-received, so I tried to come up with something. Luckily, the creative juices are flowing, so expect more chapters after this. Ok, I'll stop now, you can read the story.

Ahsoka panted heavily as she slid across the floor. "I know your master, girl." the cold, deep voice she was fighting said. "But he's mine now. Perhaps, you could... join him?"

Kanan's eyes widened when he realized what the Inquisitor was trying to do. He wanted to do something, but he was on the other side of the energy shield. "Don't listen to him Ahsoka!"

Ahsoka looked the Inquisitor in the eye. "You don't know my master." She said firmly.

The Inquisitor smiled evilly. "I don't?"

Ahsoka stood up. "You know Darth Vader. You don't know Anakin Skywalker. You don't know the same person I did."

Kanan was eying the Inquisitor suspiciously. This was odd, he usually would have attacked by now. Perhaps Vader wants something with Ahsoka. Kanan thought. If that was the case, they had to get out of there.

The Inquisitor looked Ahsoka straight in the eye. "The man you knew is Darth Vader."

Ahsoka's knuckled whitened. "No! No, he's not!" She began a mad frenzy of uncoordinated slashing with her reverse-grip hold of her green lightsaber. It was very unlike her. The Inquisitor blocked and dodged each of her attacks easily, erupting in a disturbing laugh.

Kanan realized what was going on. "Ahsoka, stop! Don't let him control you!" He slammed his fist against the energy wall, which just rippled harmlessly. "Ezra!" he shouted. "Hurry up!"

"These things take time, you know..." Ezra muttered.

Kanan glared at Ezra. "Now is not the time to joke around!"

"Ok, ok, I'm almost done." Ezra prodded the panel a final time, and the energy wall shut off. Kanan ignited his lightsaber, and was just about to join the fight when the Inquisitor held his hand out towards him. Kanan was lifted almost immediately about a foot off the ground, his lightsaber clattering to the ground as his hands instinctively clawed at his throat, trying to grasp at the invisible hands choking him. Ahsoka looked over at him and squinted her eyes, her slashes and strikes becoming even more frantic and clumsy, the Inquisitor easily blocking each and every one of them.

"Your master would be ashamed, girl." The Inquisitor said.

Ahsoka gritted her teeth. "You wouldn't know that!"

"Ahsoka..." Kanan managed. "Stop!" His vision slowly faded to black as he fell to the ground, hearing Ezra's scream in anger.

Kanan slowly opened his eyes as he sat up. He blinked a few times, trying to recognize his surroundings. He finally realized where he was- the Ghost. He was suddenly startled by a noise behind him.

"Kanan!" Ahsoka quickly dashed across the room, sitting down beside him. "You scared us. We though you were going to die." Kanan put a hand to his head. "What happened?"

Ahsoka gave him a weak smile. "What do you remember?"

"I remember falling after the Inquisitor was choking me, and then I woke up here."

Ahsoka looked at him kindly. "I fought the Inquisitor for a while, stalled him, and got us back to the Phantom."

"What about Ezra?"

Ahsoka looked down. "I'm sorry."

Kanan glared at her. "What about Ezra?" he repeated angrily.

"Ezra..."

"What happened to Ezra?"

"He- he let the Dark Side-" Ahsoka said, but she broke down in tears before she could finish her sentence. She didn't have to.

Kanan's eyes widened. "No..."

"I'm sorry Kanan," Ahsoka sobbed. "I should have-"

Kanan put a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. "There's nothing you could have done." He noticed the bandages wrapped around her sides, chest, arms, and shoulders. "What happened? It wasn't-"

Ahsoka nodded somberly. "I was trying not to hurt him. He took your lightsaber, and unfortunately, he knows how to use it."

Kanan patted his side where he kept his lightsaber. Sure enough, it was gone. "I'm sorry Ahsoka. I never should have dragged you into this."

"What do you mean?"

"I thought... I thought you could help. I thought that you would be a better teacher for him, I thought that it would be a better experience for him, having two teachers instead of just one. I thought-"

"You thought right." Ahsoka said. "You were doing what was best for Ezra, and that's what matters."

"But I'm putting you in more danger then either of us has ever had to face. Now you're being hunted as a Jedi not with one but two other Force-sensitives, and also as a rebel. Not to mention you are a high priority because you were Skywalker's padawan."

Ahsoka looked at Kanan. "I'll be fine, and so will Ezra." She stood up. "I'm going to go tell Hera you're awake. And don't you dare stand up, you're in no condition to do so."

As she left the room, Kanan laid back down. All he could think about was Ezra. He had witnessed Ezra become vulnerable to the Dark Side before, but never in the total take-over style Ahsoka had described. Ezra was too powerful, so him using the Dark Side of the Force was just frightening.

Kanan closed his eyes. "If only Master Billaba were here." He said. "What would she do?"
