Last time on STAR WARS REBELS:FIGHT FOR FREEDOM Hunter,Ezra,Kanan,Zack,and Ahsoka flew to the planet Malachor to find knowledge on how to defeat Vader and his inquisitors little did they know they would literally drop in to see a Sith Temple,then they were attacked by an after Ezra and Hunter got separated from the adults and ran into an old man who turned out to be the Sith Lord Darth Maul or as Zack calls him the Demon lead the teens to an abandon chamber and in the middle was a Sith Maul and the teens received the holocron the met up with Kanan and the others who as well as the inquisitors were shocked to see the boys with Darth Maul.
The inquisitors were standing across from the 5 force weilders and Maul as the 7th Sister spoke up.
"So the rumors are true the one called Darth Maul lives"
"Formerly just Maul" Maul said approaching.
"Ezra stay way from him!" Kanan said
"Hunter you too!" Zack ordered
"Kanan I swear he's with us" Ezra said
"I beg to differ I don't trust him" Hunter said
"Perhaps my actions can speak for me" Maul said as he detached the handle from his cane which turned out to be a double bladed red saber which was a saber he was and expert in using as the former Sith as he faught masterfully as he locked blades with with the 7th sister,Kanan locked boades with the 5th brother and Ahsoka and Zack did the same with the 8th brother.
"The Holocron do you have It?" The 8th brother asked Mual.
"You will find out soon enough" Maul said as he pushed the 7th sister back.
"Fall back!" The 7th sister said as the inquisitors used their lightsabers like prapelirs and flew away as Zack turned to Maul.
"What are you doing here Maul?" Zack growled as Maul chuckled.
"It's good to see you too Zachary" Maul said "You've grown so much and I see you've been busy with Lady Tano"
Then out of anger Zack force choked Maul and lifted him high into the air.
"I'm not in the mood for your games!" Zack said "Now talk!"
"I...can't tell you...If I can't breathe" Maul said gasping for air.
Ahsoka then put her hand on her husband's shoulder.
"Zack stop don't kill him out of rage or you'll be just like him" Ahsoka pleaded as her husband looked deep into her eyes and knew she was Zack slammed Maul to the ground as the old man coughed and gasped trying to breath as the General pointed his blade at the Demon Sith.
"Now what game are you playing?" Zack demanded as Maul stood up.
"The end game Zachary" Maul replied "the end game I am the enemy of your enemy now and wanting my own reason for wanting the Empire to fall but we have little time,the one the call Vader will be here soon."
"How do you know?" Kanan asked as all force weilders sheathed their blades.
"His dogs will tell him where we are" Maul said "Three Jedi and two part timers he will come he will not be able to resit us"
"Hold there is no us" Kanan said "dealing with inquisitors is one thing but Vader is another I'm sure we are on the same anyway"
"Kanan we should trust him" Ezra said pulling out the Sith Holocron. "Look He,Hunter and I took this from the temple together this is why we came here right to find out how to beat the Sith Ahsoka you said we came here for knowledge"
"Ezra there is no way a Jedi can unlock that Holocron" Ahsoka said
"But It may unlock the temple itself" Maul said
"How? Tell me how" Ezra said
At the top of the temple there is a chamber, place it inside and you can unlock the ancient knowlege of the Sith" Maul replied
"Why are you trying so hard to keep us here?" Zack asked
"I cannot defeat Vader alone" Maul replied
"I say we stay with him" Ezra said
"Yeah well I say we go" Kanan argued
"I second that so that settles it" Hunter replied
"You are such cowards that you would run from a chance to defeat your enemies?" Maul asked
"Kanan?" Ezra asked looking to his master as Kanan looked to Ahsoka then she looked to Zack who scowled and hesitated to answer.
"Fine..." Zack growled as Kanan turned on his comlink.
"Chopper we're staying for awhile" Kanan said as Chopper tried to talk to him "yeah I know it's a bad Idea just scan the area for incoming ships and keep the Phantom out of sight"
"How exciting we're on the same side" Maul said standing next to Kanan.
"Just show us how to get to the top" Kanan said "And hurry"
"This way" Maul said as he lead the others to the temple.
Later Maul led the 5 force weilders to a corner of the temple and touched it with his hand which cuased the side to slide down like an both Maul and Ezra got while Kanan tried to joined them.
"Only two no more no less" Maul said
"Yeah? Well these two come as a set" Kanan said pushing Maul aside "you three ok riding with Grampa?"
"Well be fine" Zack said not taking his Eyes off the former Sith touched the wall making Ezra and Kanan go up as the pillar came back and Maul got on.
"Come young apprentice" Maul said wanting Hunter to join him but Zack stepped next to him instead.
"How about me instead old friend" Zack said sarcastically "Hunter stay with your Mother"
"I know Dad" Hunter said as his father and Maul went up and vanished from their sight.
"Now how are we gonna get up there?" Ahsoka asked.
Hunter hesitated then touched the hoping it wouldn't work but unfortunately it did as the pillar slid down.
"No..." Hunter sighed sadly but his mother heard it.
"Hunter?" Ahsoka asked
"I was hoping it wouldn't work" Hunter said "Mom tell me the truth am I evil? am I gonna become like Vader?"
"No sweetheart" Ahsoka said hugging her son "you are a sweet,kind, loving person just like your father dont you forget that ok?"
"Ok" Hunter said hugging his mother back "lets go"
The mother and son were lifted to the top and saw Maul fighting of the 8th Brother and Ezra hanging on to the edge for dear life.
"Ezra!" Hunter yelled as he ran toward his best friend and helped him up as the inquisitors made his escape the 6 force weilders saw the other two inquisitors fly above them.
"Looks like they figured out your plan" Kanan said to Maul.
"Then we shall alter it" Maul said "I recommend we split up scale the pyramid from each side they will also have to divide their forces."
"Let me guess Ezra and Hunter go with you no thanks" Kanan said
"It is the only choice" Maul said
"I say we spilt up" Ezra said "trust me"
"Argh I know I'm gonna regret this" Hunter said walking up to Ezra.
"Excellent you three will find a lift on the far side we will meet again on the next level" Maul said as he and the teens disappeared from the adults sight.
"They'll be fine" Ahsoka said to the two men.
"Really how do you know?" Kanan asked
"Because we taught them" Ahsoka replied
"She's got a good point" Zack said as the three adult went to find the other lift "But I still got a bad feeling about this"
Maul turned to the teens as they were going up the temple.
"The Darkside fights without mercy,without remorse. If you both want to be victorious you must find the same strength inside of you"
"I already did" Hunter said "And It nearly took over me i won't let it happen again"
"That is why you must learn to edure it Hunter" Maul said "only then will you be victorious in battle"
"But Kanan said fighting is only a last resort not a first" Ezra said
"Ezra,Hunter you were given your gifts for a reason,to use them can I count on you both?" Maul asked putting his hands on each of the boys shoulders.
Just as they reached the next level Maul and the teens were surrounded by the 7th sister's probe droids as they ignited their sabers and deflected the bolt back to the droid while Maul cut the rest down then Hunter heard the sound of a lightsaber and deflected it back to the 7th sister who cackled evilly.
Then the three force weilders charged at her and Ezra and Hunter clashed blades over and over again.
"That's It young ones use you anger use your pain let it fuel you!" Maul said as he force choked the 7th sister into the air.
"No! No!" The inquisitor pleaded for mercy.
"Strike her down!" Maul yelled "do you want to end this? finish her!"
Ezra and Hunter were about to strike the 7th sister but then hesitated and remember what Kanan,Zack and Ahsoka taught them.
"We can't" Ezra said
"It's not the Jedi way" Hunter continued
Out of frustration Maul threw his saber at the inquisitor and cut her head as the rest of her body fell to the floor.
"The next time you two hesite like that It may cost you your life" Maul said "or the lives of your friends and family"
Then the 3 force weilders heard Kanan and the other fighting off the other two inquisitors.
"Let's go" Maul said "I fear our compannions are in danger"
The teens and Zebrak raced to the top then looked down and saw Kanan Zack and Ahsoka fighting of the the 5th and 8th brother as Maul seemed a bit distracted.
"What is it?" Ezra asked
"Nothing" Maul replied "I will handle this you two take the holocron and place it the top of the temple there you shall get the knowledge you seek"
"Well meet you at the top" Ezra said
"Don't try anything funny" Hunter warned as he and Ezra ran to the top Maul jumped down and helped the thres then slashed the 5th brother's lightsabers then Maul gutted him.
Kanan fought off the 8th brother and slashed his saber. Once the last inquisitors saw he was out numbered he tried to fly away but then his saber broke and fell to his death.
"Where's Ezra and Hunter?" Kanan asked
"You mean my apprentices" Maul said as he then threw his lightsaber into Kanan's eyes blinding him on impacted.
"Kanan!" Ahsoka yelled as the jedi fell to the ground Maul tried to kill him but Zack blocked him just in time.
"I'll handle him you help Kanan!" Zack said to Ahsoka as He and Maul fougnt back and forth their red and white blades clashed.
"I knew you couldn't be trusted!" Zack said as Maul chuckled.
"And It only took you 15 years to figure that out!" Maul said as the two kept clashing while Ahsoka helped Kanan.
"Kanan are you alright?" Ahsoka asked
"Im fine just go help Zack" Kanan said covering his eyes.
Ahsoka looked on as her husband and his arch enemy fought back and forth as the entered into a saber lock.
"My apprentices have activated the temple or more presislly this battle station which I will use on all my enemies! Maul exclaimed.
Later at the top of the temple Ezra and Hunter walked in and saw the structure where the holocron is supposed to go.
"This is it" Ezra said as he used the force to place the holocron inbetween the piller and it it opened red electricity formed around it and It spoke.
"Who approaches?" The holocron asked
"Ezra Bridger"
"Hunter Archer"
"We were told that this holocron is the key to knowlege" Ezra said
"Indeed Ezra Bridger and Hunter Archer" the holocron said "and do you know what knowledge is?"
"Tell us" Hunter said
"Knowledge is power!" The holocron shouted as the temple shot a crimson beam of energy and it shot throught the surface.
Zack and Ahsoka continued to fight off Maul as they saw the beam shoot up.
"The power will be mine!" Maul said "Ezra and your son will be mine! And there is nothing you can do to stop me!"
Zack and Ahsoka contiued fighting off Maul until they both did a back flip to the top of the stairs.
"Running away again Lady Tano and Zachary?" Maul mocked while the couple just smirked.
"If you wanna finish out fight you'll have to deal with him first" Ahsoka said as Maul turned around to see Kanan wearing a temple gaurd mask.
"Go get Ezra and your son" Kanan said
The couple nodded and ran up the stair to help Ezra and Hunter while Kanan fought off Maul.
Back at the top off the temple the teens where in the middle of the electrical storm coming from the holocron.
"I have been waiting" the holocron said
"What's happening?!" Ezra asked
"I don't know!" Hunter replied
"The power to destroy lif is now yours" the holocron said
"What?!" Ezra exclaimed "No that's not what I wanted"
"Then perhaps the other who approaches will claime it" the Holocron said
"Maul" Ezra said sadly
"I told you he couldn't be trusted!" Hunter yelled as he and Ezra tried to find Kanan and his then a blinding light came from the top and revealed a tie fighter and on top of that was none other then Darth teens ignited their sabers as the Sith Lord jumped down and approached them.
"You two have unlocked the secret of the temple" Vader said "How did ypu accomplish this?"
"Your smart figure it out!" Ezra said as he and Hunter clashed blades with the dark lord.
"No matter the power with in will soon serve the Emperor" The Sith said
"Never!" Hunter said
"We don't fear you" Ezra said
"Then you will die braver then most" Vader said as he continued to clash with Ezra and Hunter until he destroyed Ezra's saber and forced Hunter's out of his hands and then pushed them to the ground.
"Perhaps I was wrong" Vader said as he attempted to kill the teens.
"It wouldn't be the first time" a voice said from behind him. As he turned around Vader spotted both Zack and Ahsoka both with angry looks on their faces.
"It was for told you would be here" Vader said "Our long awaited meeting has come at last"
"We're glad we gave you somthing to look forward to" Zack said
"We need not be advisaries" Vader said deactivating his saber "the Emperor will show you both mercy if you can tell me where the remaining Jedi can be found"
"There are no more Jedi" Ahsoka said "You and your inquisitors have seen to that"
"Perhaps these children will confess what you will not" Vader threatened as he face the teens"
"I was beginning to believe I knew who you were behind that mask but it's impossible my Master could never be as vile as you!" Ahsoka said
"Anakin Skywalker was weak" Vader said facing the couple "I destroyed him"
Ahsoka then had a look of sadness on her face as Zack stood beside her.
"Then we will avenge his death" Zack growled at the Sith.
"Revenge is not the Jedi way" Vader said
"We are not Jedi" Ahsoka growled as she and her husband ignited their sabers while Vader ignited two force weilders then used force speed to charge a the Sith and they clashed blades until Ahsoka pushed him back making him slide across the floor while Zack force jumped into the air and slammed his blade on Vader's making himself jump off as He and Vader entered into a sabr lock then they broke it as Ahsoka join her husband in the fight theteens we watching the fight.
"We need a lot more training" Ezra said
"You mean you do I'm closer to being a knight then you are" Hunter said
Just then the temple started shaking and trembling.
"The Holocron" Ezra said
"We need to remove it before Vader can his hands on it!" Hunter said as he and Ezra ran toward the holocron Ezra tried to reach it it but he was pushed back.
"Ezra!" Hunter said running to his friend.
"How are supposed to get it?" Ezra asked
Hunter thought about it for a minute then had an idea. "The power of two"
"What?" Ezra asked the hybrid.
"Only two Ezra no more no less" Hunter said "We have to pull it out together"
"Lets do it" Ezra said as he got up.
The two teen approached the holocron as they both reached out and grabbed it as the lighting shocked them making Ezra yell in pain.
"I can't do it!" Ezra yelled in pain
"Dont give up Ezra!" Hunter yelled also in pain "you give up now all will be lost!"
The teens continued to fight through the painas they felt the holocron geting looser.
While the teens were struggling to free the holocron Zack and Ahsoka were busy fighting off Vader as the Sith pushed Ahsoka off the ledge and fell.
"Ahsoka!" Zack called out as he saw his wife fall then glare at the Dark Lord."you'll pay for that!"
The former Knight and Sith clashed sabers until they entered into a Saber lock.
"Yes use you anger only your hatred can destroy me!" Vader said as the two continued to clash until Vader slashed Zack's shoulder making the General scream in pain then Vader pushed him off the ledge and he landed next to his wife.
Hunter and Ezra continued to pull at the holocron as it continued to budge.
"Ok Ezra one more pull on three!" Hunter said
"Ok" Ezra said
"One,two,three" the teens pulled with all their strength and the holocron came loose as the two fell to the ground.
"We did it!" Hunter said. Just then the roof of the temple started coming down.
"The temple's starting to collapse!" Ezra said
"Ezra Hunter come on!" The teens turned and saw Kanan with a gaurd mask by the Phantom and they ran to the holocron felt lkie it was being pulled away from Ezra as he turned and saw Vader using the force to call the holocron to him.
"Hunter!" Ezra called as the hybrid grabbed a hold of him.
"I gotcha Ezra!" Hunter said as he tried to pull his sensing someone behind him Vader turned around and saw Ahsoka running toward him and before he could react Ahsoka jumped on him and sliced his mask open then collapsed to the ground while Zack shoulder tackled him to the ground and helped his wife back to her feet.
"Zack Ahsoka come on!" Ezra called out as he and Hunter were already by the Phantom.
"Ahsoka,Zack" a familiar voice that came from Vader as the two looked back and saw where Ahsoka slashed at the saw Anakin with a yellow Sith eye.
"Anakin..." Ahsoka said sadly as the Sith rose to his feet. "We won't leave you...not this time"
Vader looked at the two people who were once his closet friends as they looked back at him.
"Then you will die!" Vader said igniting his those words Hunter ran towards his parents and Vader.
"Hunter stop no come back!" Ezra pleaded but the hybrid ignored him and got in the middle of the Sith Lord and his parents.
"Ill handle him get out of here!" Hunter said igniting his blades.
"No Hunter run this is our fight!" Ahsoka said
"I wasn't asking you im telling you!" Hunter said as he unleashed a powerful force push at his parents making them role under the roof while their son fought of Vader.
"Hunter! NO!" Ahsoka screamed as she try to run to help her son but it was to late the roof of the temple set itself down so no one could get under it.
"NO NO NO!" Ahsok cried as she slammed her fist against the glass roof. Just then a huge crashing sound came from the side as all execpt Kanan saw Hunter and Vader fly through the air and they both landed on ground beside the temple.
"Come on we have to help him!" Ezra said as he and the adults flew down in the Phantom and landed near Hunter and Vader who continued to clash eachothers blades back and forth neither giving an inch.
"They're both evenly matched" Zack said as he his wife and Ezra stood watching the fight.
"Like they can intisapate each other's moves" Ahsoka said watching the fight.
Then Vader pushed Hunter into a peice of large rubble and pinned him to it with his blade against the teen's throat.
"Now you know the power of the darkside that kind of power will always triumph!" Vader growled
"No that's where you're wrong!" Hunter said "It's light that keeps our hope of freedom alive,It's light that give us strength to keep fighting even when it looks like there's no hope,and it light that will alway conquer the darkness!" Then Hunter grabbed Vaders red blade with his bio arm and pushed it back.
"THAT'S WHY THE REBELION WILL NEVER FALL TO THE EMPIRE!" Hunter shouted from the top of his lungs.
"You foolish boy!" Vader shouted raising his saber about to kill Hunter.
"NO!" Hunter exclaime and was then engulfed by a bright light which made the Sith back away as well as making Ezra,Zack and Ahsoka cover their eyes.
Hunter then stepped out of the light and it changed him. His clothes turned white with golden streams on them his skin was bright white and his faceial marks and hair were also golden and as he opened his eyes his pupils were glowing bright blue.
Hunter's parents as well as Ezra were all shocked and amazed to see what Hunter turned into.
"Wow" Ezra awe making Kanan confused.
"What what happened?" Kanan asked
"Hunter transformed" Ezra replied
"Into a beast?" The jedi asked
"No" Ezra said "he looks like...an angel"
Vader looked at the glowing teen infront of him and couldn't believe what he saw.
"Impressive" The Sith said "but not impressive enough"
Hunter then called his sabers to him and ignited them. "Lets finish this" he said "once and for all"
"I couldn't agree more!" Vader said
The two force weilders charged at each other and slammed their blades together so hard it created a shock wave so strong that it created a spiraling pillar of whit and black energy. This was the the ultimate collision between light and darkness as the two forces kept pushing until Hunter screamed and ran right through Vader making the pillar of energy disappear as neither one of the two seemed unfazed as Vader chuckled and turned to Hunter.
"Once again you fail to defe-AHH!" Vader suddenly felt a sharp pain as tiny bolts of electricity formed around him making him drop his saber to the ground then he collapsed to the ground then exploded on impact.
BOOM! Was all Hunter heard as he stood up and turned to his friends family and turned back to normal. "It's over..." Hunter said tiredly as his mother and father ran up to him and hugged there son.
"Oh Hunter thank the force you're alright!" Ahsoka said kissing all over Hunter face.
"Mom!" Hunter groaned in embarrassment as Zack smacked him upside his head. "OW! Dad!"
"You ever do that again you're grounded for the rest of your life do you hear me!" Zack shouted as he then started to cry then hugged his son.
Just then the temple stated shaking again.
"Guys come on we have to go!" Ezra called as he and the other got on the Phantom and mad3 it off the planet just before the temple exp!oded.
Later the 5 force weilders made it back to Attallon as the got out of the Phantom The rest of the Ghost crew ran up to them as Sabine hugged Hunter tightly.
"I knew you would come back" she said as she kissed Hunter as he kissed her back.
"I told you I would" Hunter said as he leaned in for another kiss.
Later Hunter was looking out at the sunset thinking about what happened to his God father with a said look on his face as his parents approached him.
"You ok champ?" Zack asked
"Yeah..."the hybrid replied sadly.
"You're thinking about what happened aren't you?" Ahsoka asked
"Yes" Hunter replied "I just wish I could've saved him not destroyed him"
"Hunter you didn't have a choice you did what you had to do" Ahsoka said stroking her son's back.
"But but he's still my..." Hunter could even finish his sentence before he started crying as both his parents hugged him.
"We know" Zack said "you still consider him your god father"
As she was hugging her son Ahsoka saw somthing in Hunter's pocket.
"What's in your pocket Hunter?" She asked making him remember.
"Oh I forgot" Hunter said as he pulled out the Pentagonic shaped holocron from his pocket "I found this when mw and Ezra were with Maul it was calling out to them gave the Holocron to his father as he observed it.
"Ive never seen a Holocron like this before" Zack said "What about you Ahsoka?"
"No I've never seen one like it" Ahsoka replied
"You better hang on to this son" Zack said giving him back the Holocron "let us know what you find out"
"Ok dad" Hunter said
"Don't stay out to much longer Honey" Ahsoka said as she and Hunter went back into the base while Hunter continued to look out at the sunset.
Back on Malachor we see a hole where the temple exploded then we see a hand shoot up then climbing out of the whole we see Darth Vader with his suit tworn to peices and his cape almost burned off as he wheezed.
"Mark my words Hunter Arche this is not over!"
