Disclaimer:Same thing
A few weeks had past since the Rebels found out the Empire was building a new was a stormy day on Atallon and The Ghost crew along with Zack,Ahsoka and Rex were discussing their next move as Hera spoke up
"Even though we have some preprations before we strike the Empire's factory on Lothal..."
"Ezra...Hunter..."
The teens heard someone call their name as they looked around then to each other.
"Did say something?" Ezra whispered
"No" Hunter said "Did you?"
"Probably just hearing things" Ezra whispered as he continued to listen to Hera.
"Ezra...Hunter..."
There it was again something or someone was calling out to the boys,they looked around for a moment they saw a dark figure a few feet away.
"Boys!" Hera called out.
"Huh?" Ezra asked
"What?" Hunter followed up.
"Care to join the breifing?" Hera asked
"Sorry about that" Hunter said
"Thought we saw something" Ezra said
"This is your mission guys" Hera said "I need your full attention"
"Right" Ezra said
"You got our attention" Hunter said
Hera started talking again and the two teens were trying to pay attention to the plan.
"Ezra..."
Ezra looked around and saw the dark figure and he thought it looked like Maul.
"Something wrong?" Kanan asked putting his hand on Ezra's shoulder.
"No" Ezra replied "I thought I saw something"
"Hunter..."
Hunter looked around and He saw the dark figure lurking in the base.
"Hey champ you ok?" Zack asked his son.
"Yeah I'm fine" Hunter said "I thought I saw something dark"
"Ezra...Hunter..."
They kept seeing the dark figure walking around then they started getting scared.
"Guys whats going on?" Kanan asked
The teens didn't answer they kept seeing the dark figure everywhere.
"Guys what's wrong?" Zack asked as his son saw the dark figure behind him.
"Dad behind you!" Hunter said point in one direction but the others didn't see anything.
"What's behind me?" Zack asked started to get worried.
"You two don't look very good" Hera said as her voice kind of echoed a bit.
"Ezra what do you see?" Kanan asked in an echoing voice as well.
"Hunter come talk to me" Zack said with his voice echoing as well.
"Ezra!,Hunter!"
The boys turned around and saw the face of Darth Maul making them gasp and collaping to the floor.
"Ezra!"
"Hunter!"
All the Rebels went to aid the teens to check and see if the teens were ok but they were out cold.
Later the teen awoke in some hospital bed then they started to freak out until they saw their freinds and family.
"Easy guys It's ok you're safe" Kanan said
"You two wanna tell us whats going on?" Hera asked
The teens sat upmand faced the others with depressed looks on there faces.
"It was Maul" Ezra said
"You mean at the breifing?" Sabine asked
"We saw him" Hunter said "he said our names and he was right behind us"
"That's impossible" Zack said "If Maul was there I would've sensed him"
"Maybe it was some kind of force vision" Hera suggested.
"Maybe" Kanan said
"If you ask me the kids have been working to hard" Zeb said as he walked out of the room.
"He's right we should get back to work" Hunter said standing up.
"Are you sure you're both alright?" Hera asked
"Hera we're fine we just had a bad...somthing" Ezra said as both he and Hunter stood up.
"No reason to stop the Rebellion right?" Hunter said "Come on Sabine we should get ready for our mission"
Later Ezra,Hunter and Sabine were loading up all the supplies they needed for the mission until they were stopped by a Protocol Droid named AP-5.
"Stop we have enough proton bombs for the mission" AP said
"Well not according to the weapons expert which is me" Sabine said "I want two more cases of them loaded up"
"But..." was all AP-5 could say until Hunter stopped him.
"AP don't bother arguing with you won't win believe me" Hunter said
"Why am I the last one to know about supply changes I cannot work under these conditions" AP said as he took the cases inside the Ghost.
"Ugh It's like AP5 and Chopper were made in the same assembly line" Sabine said
"Tell me about it" they're like out version C-3PO and R2-D2" Hunter said
Just then Ezra spotted Maul walking away from them.
"Hunter look!" Ezra said getting the older teens attention as the Hybrid saw Maul too.
"It's Maul!" Hunter said "lets get him!"
The teens kept running until they lost site of the Zebrak.
"Dammit where is he!?" Hunter demanded
The teens kept looking for for Mual then Ezra spotted him on the other side of an A-wing then he jumped on top of the fighter then dropped kicked him.
Then Hunter delivered a shoulder tackle knocking Maul into a pile of crates then the teens whipped out their sabers until Sabine and Kanan held Ezra back while Hunters parents did the same with him.
"Let me go!" Ezra said
"He must pay for what he has down!" Hunter said
The two teens broke free and ignited their sabers and were about to strike until Zack and Kanan stopped them with the force.
"Kanan,Zack what are you doing!? Let us go!" Ezra said
"Ezra,Hunter It's not Maul look at him!" Kanan said
The teens took another look and saw that Maul was really a Rebel pilot.
"You're out of your mind kids!" The pilot said before he ran Hunter and Ezra kneeled while breathing heavily.
"What's happen to us!?" Ezra asked
"Are we going insane or something!?" Hunter asked
Later Kanan,Zack and Ahsoka thought it would be a good Idea for Ezra and Hunter to talk to Bendu about whats been going rode on their speeders to the giant force weilder and approached him.
"Bendu you knew we were coming" Kanan said
"Yes" Bendu said "You're not exactly quiet ceatures"
"Go ahead and tell them what's happening" Zack said to the teens as they stepped forward.
"The darkside weilder we told you about the one that wanted to join the holocrons together we've seen him here on Atallon" Ezra said
"I warned you" Bendu scold "Joining the holocrons together can bring both great wisdom and great danger"
"We know we felt their power" Hunter said "And we did see things but our visions were incomplete"
"Incomplete?" Bendu asked
"Yeah we let go before any of us got the answers we wanted and then the holocrons were destroyed" Ezra said
"Ahha I see" Bendu said "well that's not good"
"What do you mean that's not good?" Kanan asked
"What can we do?" Zack asked
"What do you want to do? Hmm?" Bendu asked
"We want to stop seeing Maul" Ezra said
"Then don't turn around" Bendu said
Disobeying the deity's orders the 5 force weilders turned around and saw none other then Darth Maul on top of the hill.
"Bendu what should we do" Kanan asked as he turned to Bendu but he was gone.
"Damn for a big guy he knows how to move quickly" Hunter said as Maul approached the 5 force weilders.
"This is a strange place so remote owned" Maul said "Yes the Empire will have a difficult time finding you here"
Then the 5 force weilder ignited their sabers and pointed them at the old Sith.
"You think I came here to fight" Maul asked before he turned to the teens "I came here to speak with my apprentices"
"They're not your apprentices" Kanan said
"Yet" Maul said
"How did you find us?" Ezra asked as he and Hunter sheathed their blades.
"When you two separated our connection with the Holocrons you mixed up the information" Maul said "You two learned a bit of what I wanted to know and I learned a bit of what you both wanted to know,but there were fragments,memories left in my mind"
"Like the location of our base" Hunter said making Maul chuckle.
"Good very good how you do learn fast apprentices" The Sith said
"Look I can't make sense of what I saw" Ezra said "I couldn't make it out if I wanted to"
"And I don't even know the guy I saw in my vision or what part he plays in this" Hunter said
"That Is why you both need to come with me" Maul said "So I can get the answers that are just out of reach"
"So you get your answers but what do we get out of it?" Ezra asked
"I will keep your Rebel base secret" Maul said
"No deal" Zack growled"
"You're not getting off this rock in one peice" Ahsoka said as she,Zack, and Kanan pointed their blades at the Zebrak.
"I have planeted a becon nearby" Maul said whipping out a controller "Strike me down and It will activate revealing your presence to the Empire.
"You have knowledge that is rightfully mine I have knowledge that you want they key to defeating the Sith" Maul said "What I purpose will satisfy us all"
Both Ezra and Hunter looked at each other.
"Give us a minute" Ezra said as he and Hunter around and started whispering to each other.
"What do you think?" Ezra asked
"He could be bluffing about the becon but I don't want to take that risk looks like we don't have a choice" Hunter said as he and Ezra turned back to Maul.
"Alright we'll go" Ezra said shocking the three adults.
"Ezra,Hunter you are not doing this" Kanan said
"He's going to expose Chopper base" Ezra said
"We'll move get a new base" Zack said
"Maul won't hurt us dad he needs us" Hunter said "beside this maybe our last chance to destroy the Sith"
"Ugh I don't like this" Ahsoka said "But It looks like we do have a choice we'll trust you on this"
Then teens then approached Maul. "Alright we have a deal" Ezra said as Mauls ship landed next to them.
"After you my apprentices" Maul said as the three of them got in the ship and took off.
Later Maul's ship came out of hyberspace and was approaching a Red planet.
"Where are we?" Ezra asked
"That is Dathamere" Maul Replied "My Home"
As Maul landed the ship he and the teens walked out and saw that everything was dead including the trees.
"If this is your home where are your people?" Hunter asked "where is everybody?"
"I am the last survivor" Maul said "My family the night sisters were killed powerful witches they were a threat to the Empire"
"These witches they used the force?" Ezra asked
"Some aspect yes" Maul replied "But It was their connection to this planet that made them strong that is why we are here to preform some magic everything we need lies within the cave"
"We're not going any further until you tell us how this works" Hunter said
"They only way to access the knowledge that we seek is to merge our minds again the effect will only last a minute just enough time to find the answers to our questions trust me my apprentices I only want the answers I deserve nothing more.
"What do we have to do?" Ezra asked
"Come" Mual said as he lead the teens into the cave.
Later as the three force weilders went deeper into the cave and saw many weapons and artifacts.
"I have gather many things secrets to help us restore our memories" Maul said
"Look at all this junk" Ezra said
"Do not touch anything" Maul warned "these are artifacts from my past from when my power was almost absolute"
"Oh you really powerful and you were cut in halve by my father's master when he was a padawn" Hunter Joked making Maul growl.
While Ezra and Hunter were looking around the room and saw a picture of a woman who was wearing a blue dress then they saw a sliver rectangular lightsaber hilt below.
"No way" Hunter said in awe.
"What is it?" Ezra asked
"It's the Darksaber" Hunter replied
"The Darksaber?" Ezra asked
"It's a unique lightsaber that was originally owned by a leader of a Mandalorian terrorist group know as Death Watch and Maul used it to rule Mandalore"
"Until your Parents beat him" Ezra said
"That's right" Hunter said
"Come apprentices the Ritual is about to begin" Maul said as he gave each one a cup and placed them on a tume.
"I have studied the ways of the nightsisters and found a spell that suits our needs" Maul said said as started mixing liquids together "This alter is the focus of our ancient powers" Then Maul poured the liquid into the three cups.
"Now we must each drink this potion" Maul said
"You first" Hunter said as the Old man clinked the cups together and drank the potion and finished it.
"To complete this spell you both drink it all just like me" Maul said as Ezra drank his potion.
"Well over the lips and past the gums look out stomach here it comes" Hu ter said as he then drank his potion then the thre force weilders felt something happening"
"It's...working" Maul said as he covered his eyes.
"Ugh that's nasty!" Hunter said not liking the taste of the potion.
All of the sudden Maul's eyes turned green and smoky along with Ezra's and Hunter's. Just then beams of energy shot out from their eyes and merged together.
"Where is he?!" Maul shouted
"I want to know how to destroy the Sith" Ezra said
"I want to know how to destroy the Empire" Hunter said
In Hunter's vision he saw the same guy from his previous vision he saw him fighting Vader with a blue bladed lightsaber and then another vision with the same guy now he had a green bladed saber and cutting off Vader's hand and defeating him Hunter learned the name of the man before the vision stopped and the three force weilders leaned on the Alter.
"Of course it ends where it began" Maul said "a dessert planet with twin suns"
"He's alive Zack was right he's alive" Ezra said
"Of course now it all makes sense" Hunter said "He is the true chosen one"
Just then the candles went out.
"It's time to pay our debts" Maul said just as the alter glowed green and smoked.
"What'sgoing on!?" Hunter asked
Then the ghosts of the nightsisters started flying around the three force weilders.
"What are those?" Ezra asked
"Pay our due" one ghost said
"The spirits of the nightsisters must be compansated for using their magic" Maul said
"So then pay them and lets get out of here!" Ezra said
"The price is our flesh and blood" Maul said "don't let them touch you!"
"Now you tell us!" Hunter said as he kept dodging the spirits then he saw Kanan and Sabine.
"Ezra!" Kanan called out.
"Hunter!" Sabine called to her boyfriend.
"Kanan Sabine get away from here!" Hunter said
Kanan and Sabine tried to shoot the spirits but instead they possessed bt them then they walked over to the sat in front of the Alter and then stood up as Hunter and Ezra approached them.
"Kanan?" Ezra said
"Sabine can you hear me?" Hunter asked
Just then Kanan took off his mask,ignited his saber and attack Maul only it was Kanan it was the Nightsister that was possesinghim.
Sabines eyes glowed as well as she was shooting at Hunter and Ezra.
"Sabine snap out of it It's us Ezra and Hunter!" Ezra said deflecting the bolts
"She can't hear us Ezra!" Hunter said as he kept deflecting.
"We cannot defeat the spirits of the Nightsisters!" Maul said as he fought Kanan "Come with me and I'll show you how to save them!"
Maul and the teens ran until the came out of the cave but the possessed Sabine and Kanan did not.
"Wait why aren't they coming after us?" Ezra asked
"The Alter is the source of their power they cannot venture beyond the cave" Maul said "It is unfortunate for your friends Ezra and Hunter but this is your opportunity to embrace your destinies as my apprentices"
We told you time and time again that's never going to happen!" Ezra growled facing Maul.
"Forget the past!,forget your memories!" Maul roared "Forget your attachments our future converges on a planet with two suns we can walk that path as friends,as brothers"
The moment he heard that out of anger Hunter force pushed Maul on to the ground then grabbed him by the collar and Snarled at him.
"Listen up old man we are not friends and we most certainly are not brothers! Ezra and I are brothers! You are nothing but a dead man walking you are alone and you will always be alone! We want nothing to do with you! You have no purpose! You are nothing but a waist of life!" Hunter said as he threw Maul to the ground.
Then Maul stood up and glare at the older teen "Disappointed me Ezra Bridger and Hunter Archer!" The Old Man said as he got in his ship and took off.
"Wow" Ezra said as Hunter looked at him "That was pretty low"
"Well he deserves it" Hunter said "come on we have to save the others"
Hunter and Ezra were walking throught the cave until the Nightsister that possessed Sabine appeared behind them making the teens turn around.
"I'll handle her you go find Kanan" Hunter said as Ezra nodded and ran off.
"You are unwise to re enter our sanctum" the Nightsister said as she ignited the darksaber and attacked Hunter blocked each blow until they entered a saber lock.
"That doesn't belong to you!" Hunter said
"Then take it from me jedi!" The Nightsister hissed
Hunter then got an Idea and used the force to throw Sabine out of the cave and the Nightsister left her body and flew back inside as Hunter kneeled next to his girlfriend.
"You ok babe?" Hunter asked
"Im fine now" Sabine said smiling "but I hope you got out of Maul was worth it"
"It was I now know how to bring an end to the Empire and the Sith" Hunter said as he picked up the saw it and had a shocked looked on her face.
"Is that?" Sabine asked
"Yeah it's the darksaber" Hunter said "I remember you saying it belong to house Vizla so I think you should have it.
"Hunter I..." was all Sabine could say before Hunter's comlink went off.
"Hunter it's Ezra Kanan is back to normal and the Alter is destroyed you guys ok?"
"We're fine Ezra were outside we'll meet you there" Hunter said as he and Sabine ran back inside and saw Kanan and Ezra.
"How you feeling Kanan?" Hunter asked
"I've felt worse" Kanan said "I told Ezra this was the last time we work with Maul and that goes for you too Hunter"
"You don't have to tell me twice" the hybrid said
"Was it worth It did you two find out what you wanted?" Kanan asked
"Yes" Ezra said "the answer to how to destroy the Sith...Is Obiwan Kenobi"
"You think he's still alive?" Kanan asked
"Yes but Kanan Maul's looking for him too" Ezra said
"So he knows where he is too" Kanan said
"That doesn't surprise me considering they have had a rivalry since before the clone wars began" Hunter said
"What about you Hunter what did you find out" Kanan asked
"I found out who the true chosen one is" Hunter said
"Really?!" Kanan asked in shock "Who is it?"
"I'll tell you when we get back I have a feeling my parents will want to know this too"
Later back on Atallon Ezra had just told Zack and Ahsoka everything that happend.
"So you're telling us that Obiwan is the key to destroying the Sith?" Zack asked
"Yeah and that he's on a planet with two suns" Ezra said
"Well that narrows it down" Ahsoka said sarcastically "What about you Hunter what did you see?"
"I just found out that Anakin was never the chosen one" Hunter said
"What!?" Ahsoka asked in shock
"What are you talking about?" Zack asked
"He was never the chosen I saw the same guy I saw when we merged the holocrons together and I saw him fighting Vader and defeating him he is the true chosen one and now I know his name" Hunter said
"Well what is it?" Ahsoka asked as Hunter answered.
"His name...Is Luke Skywalker"
