A few weeks had past since the incident on Takodana and Hunter discovered his godfather Anakin was Darth Vader and he was stil upset with his parents,he did his best to stay away from them as he looked and his bio arm while having flashbacks in his room as he heard yelling in the recognized the voice to be Ezra as he walked out and entered the room with Ezra,Kanan,and Hera.
"What's with all the Yelling? Some of us are trying to sleep" Hunter scolded
"Sorry Hunter" Hera said "Ezra said he had a vision"
"A Vision?" Hunter asked turning to Ezra "About what?"
"My parents" Ezra replied
"Really?" Hunter asked
"Yeah I had a vision they're out there and I've got to find them" Ezra said
"Ezra you know visions of the force can be misinterpreted" Kanan said
"Yeah but 99% of the time they turn out true" Hunter said trying to give Ezra some hope.
"Just start at the beginning,And tell us what you saw" Hera said
"Some kind of imperial prision I think" Ezra said "they were there and there was a white lothcat"
"You never wanted to talk about your parents" Kanan said
"That was before this vision Kanan" Ezra said "It was so real,you have to believe me"
Hunter then put a comforting hand on Ezra's shoulder "I believe you Ezra" he said
"I think it's time to show him" Kanan said to Hera
"Show me what?" Ezra asked
Kanan and Hera took Ezra to Hera's room as Hunter followed.
"Remember when Zeebo told you he knew what happened to your parents?" Hera asked
"Yeah but i didn't want to hear what he had to say because I thought I never see him again" Ezra said "why do you know where they are?"
"We know they were taken to an impreial prison" Hera as she pulled pulled up a hologram of many planets "one of a thousand"
"There's so many" Ezra said looking around "where do we start?"
"Well Zeebo didn't exactly know where they were but he had fragments of information which we've been trying to piece together" Kanan said
"We've called in ever favor with ever smuggler,crator and pirate we know" Hera said "We even asked Senetor Organa to aquire with his sources but we couldn't find them...Im sorry Ezra"
"Why didn't you tell me this sooner?" Ezra asked
"There was nothing to tell" Kanan said "your parents are just...gone"
"Maybe not..." Hunter said out loud as the others look at him.
"What are you saying Hunter?" Hera asked
"Ezra you said in your vision you saw a white lothcat right?" Hunter asked
"Yeah?" Ezra said
"And unless I'm mistaken Lothcats are native to Lothal correct?" Hunter asked
"That's right" Hera said
"So maybe Ezra's vision is trying to tell him to go back to Lothal maybe his parents are still there hiding" Hunter said
"You really think so Hunter?" Ezra asked hopefully
"I don't know Ezra but right now that white Lothcat is the best lead we got to finding them so don't give up hope just yet" Hunter said
Later Ezra was in his room looking at a holographic pictures of him and his parents as he heard knocking at the his door.
"Ezra open up open up!" Hunter called from the other side as Ezra opened up the door.
"What is it Hunter?" Ezra asked
"You gotta come see this come on!" Hunter said grabbing Ezra's wrist and yanked his to the hanger of the Ghost where Kanan and Hera were saw a holographic image of imperial records.
"What is that?" Ezra asked
"It's a list of impreial prisoners" Kanan replied "The Empire has deleted their name 0s and images to keep them secret"
"Where did they come from?" Ezra asked
"From my Father" Hunter said
"Zack knows my interest in imperial prisons and has reported a massive escape last night" Hera said
"That's why I had the vision my parents were apart of this!" Ezra said
"Possibly" Kanan said
"They were I know it!" Ezra said "we've got to find them!,How do we find them?"
"I know an old Jedi trick that might be able to help" Kanan said "I can't garanty this will work but you have to open your mind to the truth as the force presents it,I might be good and it might be bad understand?"
"Yes,I understand" Ezra said
"Turn around and focus on the list" Kanan said
Ezra turned and face the list then closed his eyes and reached out with the force and search the list.
"Stop!" Ezra said as the list stopped at a section of the list.
"Prisoner X10" Hera said as she looked at the file "Who ever this is they were arrested on Lothal for treason,you might be on to something!"
"Hunter you were right my vision was telling me to go to Lothal that's why I keep seeing the white lothcat" Ezra said
"Then what are we waiting for lets go!" Hunter said as the boys ran into Ezra's room looking for something.
Hera followed the boys into Ezra's room while Sabine came out of hers.
"Ezra we want you to find your parents but you can't go now we need a plan, the Empire has the planet in blockade" Hera said
"Not anymore" Sabine said "Ive been listening in on impreial chatter the empire left Lothal's orbit this morning"
"Left Lothal where to?" Hera asked
"It doesn't matter this is a sign" Ezra said I'm supposed to go now where did i put my helmet!?" Ezra said as he and Hunter kept looking.
"I know you have to go" Kanan said holding up Ezra's helmet "but it doesn't mean you have to go alone"
"We support you we're family" Hera said
Hunter took into thought of what Hera just said as he thought about his parents even though they lied to Ghost crew got into the cockpit and Contacted Zeb and told him everything.
"Back to lothal that sounds like a terrible plan besides we haven't finished getting our supplies yet"
"You can finish later" Hera said
"JUST GET BACK HERE NOW!" Ezra yelled
"Not to fast now Zeb we don't want to attract any imperial attention" Hera followed up
"Don't worry no buckets in sight infact haven't seen any at all it's really strange"
"It's not strange it's strategy!" Sabine said
"What are you talking about Sabine?" Hunter asked
"The Empire always pulls back patrols before a major strike" Sabine said
Just then the alarms in the Ghost all went off.
"Oh no" Hera said in fear as she looked up through the wind shields and saw three Star Destroyers hovering above the city.
"Well Ezra if you wanted to go back to Lothal now would be the time" she said.
Hera tried to contact Zeb but the empire was jamming their signal.
"Sabine try to reveres their jamming signal we'll need our com" Hera said
"On it" sabine said as she ran back inside the Ghost.
"You three better get going" Hera said to the Jedi.
"Not until we get Zeb and chopper" Ezra said
"Just have us ready to fly" Kanan said as he and the teens ran off to find Zeb and Chopper.
Later Hunter,Kanan and Ezra found Zeb as he was being chased by storm troopers as the three Jedi took out there blasters and engaged in the fight,Just then Agent Kallus came out of no where and started shooting at the them ignited his blade and charged atKallus deflecting his bolts then use a powerful force push to send Kallus flying into a wall knocking him other Rebels saw what Ezra did and they all smiled.
"Well that was pretty impressive" Zeb said
"Yeah I tought him that" Kanan said smiling.
"Well hello there" a voice called as the Rebels saw the 5th brother and 7th sister behind them.
"You're not gonna get in my way!" Ezra growled
Well then my brave young boy come and prove it!" The 7th sister taunted
Ezra was about to charge at the Inquisitors until he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turn around to see the hand belonged to Hunter.
"Ezra don't give them what they want" Hunter said staring at the inquisitors "If you attack them in anger you'll be no better then what they are"
"Well if it isn't my favorite little hybrid" the 7th sister said in a creepy seductive voice "how's your arm feeling?"
Hunter said nothing as he just glare at the inquisitor.
"Maybe when I'm done ill play a vist to your Mandlorian friend and give her a goodbye present" the 7th sister said igniting her saber.
That set Hunter as he roared in anger and charged at the inquisitors with his blades ignited until Kanan blasted controls and closed the blast approached the teens.
"What was that you were saying about not attacking in anger?" Kanan asked Hunter
"Just shut up!" Hunter said "they could be going after Sabine right now!"
"And Hera" Zeb said
"Yeah her too" Hunter replied as the four Rebels and Chopper ran back to the Ghost and Hera flew off trying to avoid the Star destroyers.
Kanan,Ezra and Hunter climb aboard the Phantom and fought off some fighters until and took off as Hera went back and help the other rebels.
Later the Phantom came out of hyperspace and approched Lothal.
"You gotta admit It's nice to see no Star Destroyers over Lothal for a change" Kanan said but Ezra didn't respond
"What's wrong Ezra?" Hunter asked his friend
"Thank you both...for all you've done for me" Ezra said "you two are always there when I need you most"
"Hey I know what it's like to loose someone" Kanan said
"So do I" Hunter said thinking about his Godfather "More so then you think"
The Phantom land on the outskirts of town the three Jedi came out of the ship.
"So where to now?" Kanan asked Ezra
"Home" the teen replied
Later the three Jedi were walking down a ally until they came across a burned down building.
"They burned it to the ground" Ezra said
"The empire wanted to send us a message" Kanan said
"But my vision led me back here to Lothal If my parents aren't here where are they!?" Ezra said
"Ezra calm down" Hunter said "the force led you here for a reason try listening to it"
Ezra took Hunter's advise and listen to the force as he sensed something and heared a soft meow as the white Lothcat jumped out of a hole in the ground.
"The white lothcat" Ezra said as he Gently approached and petted it "good lothcat Im not here to hurt you,but you know that don't you?,who do you belong to?"
Just then the Lothcat started running as if it was trying to get Ezra to follow it.
"After it!" Ezra said chasing the Lothcat down the ally.
"So we're chasing cats now?" Kanan asked
"Hey that cat may know where his parents are come on!" Hunter replied as he and Kanan followed Ezra.
The three Jedi chased the Lothcat until they lost it.
"Dammit!" Ezra said as Kanan and Hunter caught up with him.
"Easy you know there are still Stormtroopers here?!" Kanan asked
"It's ok I can track it" Ezra said
"What the cat?" Kanan asked "your growing stronger with the force"
"The force?" Ezra asked no I planted a tracker on it"
"Now that i believe" Hunter said
Later the three Jedi took the Phantom and landed in the mountain fields.
"Theres something familiar about this place" Ezra said
Just then a laser bolt hit the Phantom as the Jedi took cover.
"What the hell was that!?" Hunter asked as Ezra looked over and saw a man shooting at them.
"It's him!" Ezra said "X10 hold your fire were freinds!" Bit the man didn't believe him and kept shooting.
"Thats not my name bounty hunter!" The man said
"I know that's not your name!" Ezra said as he came out of hiding "Im Ezra Bridger you dont know me but I think you know my parents Ezmren and Mira Bridger"
The Man stopped shooting at the Jedi and lowered his weapon.
"My name is Ryder Ezoway" the man said taking off his hat he looked to be about in his late 50's to early 60's he had gray hair and a beard to match it ."And you're right I know your parents"
Later that night Ezra, Kanan and Hunter went to Ryder's camp site and talked to him.
"I can't believe you're here Ezra" Ryder said "I wanted to find you but I guess you found me first"
"I know you don't i?" Ezra asked
"You remember" Ryder said "You were pretty small back then,I was the Governor of Lothal I supported your parents and the messages then said against the Empire it was one of the reason I was arrested for treason I was sent to prison with them"
"I do remember" Ezra said "and you know what happened to them"
"Yes I do" Ryder said in a sad tone
"They're dead aren't they?" Ezra asked but he knew the answer.
"Im sorry son" Ryder said "they are"
Ezra sighed in saddness while Hunter placed a comforting hand on his friends shoulder.
"Ezra..." The hybrid said feeling sad for his friend.
"Please tell me what happed" Ezra said to Ryder
"You know even in prison your parents would stand up to those who couldn't,especially after after they heard your message" Ryder said making Ezra gasp in shock.
"Yes that message the messge you said made its was to the deepest darkest part of imperial prisions, they were inspired by it Ezra the rallied others to rise up and break out rebels,sympathizers are free thanks to them"
"But they didn't make it" Ezra said
"They got separated when they escaped" Ryder said I was just like them not to leave until everyone got out first by then it was too late"
"How did they know it was me?" Ezra asked trying to hold back him tears.
"Your transmission,Your voice,Your words son" Ryder said "telling Lothal to stand up and they new right away"
"You know they use to say when I was little if we don't stand up who will?" Ezra said as he finally let out his tears and cried into Kanan's arms.
Hearing the story of Ezra's parents made Hunter think about his as he stood up.
"Where are you going?" Kanan asked
"There's something I have to do" Hunter said in a sad voice as he walked out of the camp site
Later inside the Phantom Hunter contacted his parents and told them what he just heard.
"Im so sorry to hear about happened to Ezra's parents" Ahsoka said
"Their sacrifice will not be forgotten we'll remember them forever" Zack said
"I feel so guilty" Hunter said "I kept giving Ezra false hope and it was all vain"
"That's not true Hunter,you inspired Ezra not to give up hope and that's what being a rebel is about to inspire others" Zack said
"I'm sorry..." Hunter said in a sad tone
"for what sweetie?" Ahsoka asked
"For yelling at you and ignoring you for weeks" I know you were just trying to protect me"
"No we're the one's who should be sorry we shouldn't have lied to you in first place,we shouldve trusted you to handle the truth" Zack said
"I'll forgive you on one condition" Hunter said
"Anything name it" Ahsoka said
"No more secrets and no more lies If there's anything i deserve to know both of you tell me promise?"
"Promise" Ahsoka said
"Promise" Zack said
OK GUYS R&R FULCRUM OUT!
