Disclaimer:Same thing
The next day Sabine and the others were flying to her home planet of Kornis as she sighed in sadness.
"Welcome home" she said
"You really think it's gonna be that bad?" Hunter asked sitting next to her
"I haven't been back to Kornis since before my time at the imperial academy Hunter" Sabine said "I didn't exactly leave on good terms"
"Well maybe things are different now maybe they'll be happy to see you" Hunter said
"You don't know my family" Sabine said
"But I do" Fenn said sitting in the back with Kanan and Ezra. "Your Mother was the leader of clan Wren she maybe with the Empire now but I believe her true loyalty lies with Mandalore"
"Even if that's true she thinks Im a traitor" Sabine said
Hunter then placed his hand over Sabine's in comfort "No matter what happens I'll be by your side" he said "All of us will"
Sabine smiled and gave Hunter a kiss "What would I do without you?" She asked
"Probably go insane" Hunter joked making Sabine giggle.
"I should probably let them know we're coming so they don't shoot us down" Sabine said
"Ha! That's funny I- wait youre not kidding are you?" Ezra said
"Ezra when was the last time Sabine ever kid around?" Hunter asked while Sabine contacted and spoke in Mandalorian Mandalorians then spoke but then cut them off.
"What happened?" Hunter asked
"They're jamming us" Sabine replied
Then the Rebels saw 4 Mandalorians heading straight for them.
"Looks like your family sent out the welcoming community" Kanan said
Then the Mandalorians shot rockets at the Rebels as Sabine dodged them.
"Sheesh you're family knows how to hold a grudge" Hunter said
"Yeah we're no exactly a forgive and forget kind of family" Sabine said as the Mandalorians started shooting at them and shot the thrusters making the Phantom crash into the ground then the Rebels walked outside.
"Looks like recuiting the Wrens will be more difficult then I thought" Fenn said
"You weren't easy to recuit either that's why we're switching to plan B" Kanan said "Better stay out of sight I have a feeling we're gonna need you later"
Fenn shut the door to the Phantom as the others saw the four Mandalorians that shot them down plus another one wearing whit imperial armor.
"Remember I could be related to these guys" Sabine said
"Don't worry I'll play nice" Ezra said
"So will I" Hunter said "For now"
Then the five Mandalorians landed infront of the rebels and aimed their guns at them while Ezra ignited his saber.
"Jedi!" The white Mandalorian said as he and the others started shooting at the rebels while Kanan,Hunter,and Ezra deflected the bolts while Sabine blocked with her Hunter deflected one of the bolt back to the leader knocking him down.
"Hunter!" Sabine scolded her boyfriend.
"What they shot first Sabine" Hunter said
"Sabine?" The lead Mandalorian asked as he got up and gave the other's a command to stop then approached Sabine and took off his helmet. He had brown hair and the same color eyes as Sabine he looked to be in his late teens early twenties.
"Tristan" Sabine said as she took off her helmet approached him.
"You changed your hair again" Tristan said
"You know me" Sabine said
"Do I?" Tristan hissed "Who are the Jedi?"
"They're my friends" Sabine said "This is Ezra,Kanan,and this is Hunter he's...my boyfriend"
"Boyfriend!?" Tristan exclaimed "you're dating a Jedi?"
"You got a problem with that pal?" Hunter asked as he got in Tristan's face. Both of the two men glared at eachother while the rest could literally feel the tention between them.
"Alright lets take a step back guys" Sabine said as she got between her brother and her boyfriend "Tristan I'll explain everything on the way I promise"
"I'll take you to the Stronghold but I can't vouge for how you'll be greeted" Tristan said as he lead the Rebels to Sabine's home.
Later as Tristan lead the Rebels to the Wren house Sabine wasn't exactly happy with her brother wearing Imperial armor.
"How can you wear that armor Tristan?" She asked "How could you join them?"
"You shouldn't have come back Sabine" Tristan said
"Thanks" Sabine growled as they finally approached the Wren house it was gray with a lot of glass windows and was covered with ice and frost.
As the Rebels and Mandalorians approached the house a Woman probably in her early 40's walked out and stared at Sabine she had black hair tied in a bun in the back,and wearing gold and gray colored armor.
"So It's true then" She said
"Mother" Sabine said sadly
"Put her in a cell she'll be held for trial!" Sabine's mother said
"Mother!" Sabine said in a stern voice "We need to talk"
"Sabine then Ignited the Darksaber and held it with the blade facing away from her mother.
Sabine's mother as well as the rest of the Mandalorians were shocked to see Sabine holding the Darksaber in her hands.
"The Darksaber!" Sabine's Mother asked in shock as Sabine sheathed the blade.
"Kanan Jarrus,Ezra Bridger,Hunter Archer this my mother the countess Ursa Wren" Sabine said
"Hi" Ezra said said making the Mandalorians aimed their guns at him.
"Easy the guy was just being polite" Hunter said
"What did you except Sabine that you would be welcome with open arms? Ursa said "you're wanted by the Empire"
"I know" Sabine said "But I'm part of the Rebellion now please hear what i have to say"
"I will tolerate the Jedi presance in our home If they surrender their weapons" Ursa said as she waited inside.
"Well that when better than I expected" Sabine said approaching the Jedi.
"That was better?" Ezra asked "I hope you don't expect us to hand over our lightsabers"
"We have to show Sabine's family we're here peacefully Ezra" Hunter said as he gave his lightsabers to by Ezra and Kanan then they entered the house Hunter sensed somthing calling to him. He looked to his left and under the balcony he saw a sword shaped stone and it was like it was calling him.
"Hunter come on" Sabine said making her boyfriend snap out of his trance.
"Coming" Hunter said as they entered the house.
Later inside the House Ursa was sitting on her throne while Tristan stood by her side and the Rebels stood infront of her.
"Your Rebel freinds are going to bring the Empire down on all of us" Ursa told Sabine "You believe the Darksaber will protect you? It won't It's only a symbol"
"Yeah a symbol that has united all Mandalorians in the past" Sabine said "Look if we stand together now-"
"Stand together!?" Ursa interupted "Sabine It's everything I can do to keep the Clans from destroying us because of what you did!"
"I didn't know the Empire would use the weapons I designed against our people!" Sabine said "but you don't believe me do you?"
"Even if I did It wouldn't change from the other houses from seeing you as a traitor" Ursa said "Your own brother now serves Gar Saxon to prove our loyalty and regain some small amount of status"
"Gar Saxon is a killer!" Sabine said
"He is the Emperor's Hand" Tristan said "The acting ruler and Govenor of Mandalore"
"And his men wiped out the protectors!" Sabine said
"The Protectors were exacuted for treason" Ursa said "Just as Fenn Roue will he when he is found"
"They were loyal to Mandalore and Saxon betrayed them!" Sabine yelled
"Enough!" Urasa said as she stood up "Fenn Roue's people are dead and mine are not and I intend to keep them that way all of them"
"Except for me" Sabine said sadly
"Walk with me" Ursa said as she and Sabine walked out to the balcony.
A Few minutes later the Mother and Daughter came back inside and Ursa approached Hunter.
"You're Hunter Archer correct?" She asked
"Yes" Hunter said as he stared at Ursa.
"I wish to speak with you privately" Ursa said as she lead the hybrid outside to the balcony.
"Sabine told me that you and her are betrothed" Ursa said
"Let me guess you have a problem with it because I'm a Jedi" Hunter said
"On the contrary I consider It an honor for my daughter to be in a relationship with the son of the heroes of Mandalore" Ursa said
"She's not dating me because my parents freed your people" Hunter said "She with me because she loves me and I love her"
"I see" Ursa said with a small smile "What is it about my daughter you find so attractive?"
"I'm sorry what?" Hunter asked all confused
"It's not a hard question" Ursa said "What do you find so attractive about my daughter?"
Hunter looked out to the frozen lake as he answered Ursa's question.
"She's brave and strong but also sweet and kind she's also a cunning warrior and one of our best pilots and she's so beautiful and I can see where she gets it all from" Hunter said looking at Ursa who blushed a little.
"You're too kind" Ursa said.
Hunter looked down and saw the same sword shaped stone he saw the same sword shaped stone he saw earlier.
"Countess If I may ask what's with that sword shaped stone below us?" Hunter asked as Ursa saw the same stone.
"Oh that's just a statue of the Sword of Mandalore" Ursa replied
"Sword of Mandalore?" Hunter asked
"It's an old Mandalorian folktale" Ursa said "Long ago long before the Darksaber there was a sword that was owned by the original ruler of Mandalore and It was past down from parent to child. The sword was made from a solid steel so strong that not even a lightsaber could cut through it then came the day that the Jedi and Mandalorians were at war and most of the Mandalorians were wiped out including the planets ruler some say the survivors place the sword here where it would be safe and planeted it in a stone. only a Mandalorian worthy enough shall pull the sword from that stone and rule all of Mandore many have tried but none prevailed and in time the glorious sword was forgotten. Some say that that stone is the sword itself but it's only a legend"
"Wow" Hunter said in awe "that's some story"
Just then Sabine and Tristan stepped out of the balcony.
"Mother you're being summoned" Tristan said as Ursa left and Sabine turned to her boyfriend.
"What did my mother want with you?" She asked
"She wanted to make sure you were well taken care of" Hunter said "And she told me an interesting story about the Sword of Mandalore"
"You don't believe that story do you?" Tristan asked
"Well it's like my Mother says 'There's always a bit of truth in legends' " Hunter said
"Sabine wanna do some sparing practice?" Tristan asked
"Sure it's been a long time since I put you in your place" Sabine said
"Mind if I watch?" Hunter while Tristan just glare at the hybrid.
"You might as well get use to him" Sabine said "Who knows he might be your future Brother in-Law some day"
"I guess it couldn't hurt" Tristan said as he and the teens made their way to the sparring room.
Later Hunter was watching Sabine and Tristan spar with staffs as they kept clashing back and forth until Tristan knocked Sabine off her feet.
"You've been practicing Brother" Sabine said as she extended her hand but Tristan wouldn't help her up as she stood up a picked up her staff. "Let me guess you think im a traitor too?"
"No" Tristan said "But when you left the other clans turned their backs on us we lost everything!"
Just then Tristan started attacking Sabine out of anger.
"Our power in the capital!, our respect! And our honor if I can restore our family name if I can protect Father and I have to try!"
Tristan wasnabout to strike down Sabine until a hand grabbed his staff this hand belong to Hunter.
"Let me guess Saxon told you that if you join him he'll protect Clan Wren?" Hunter asked
"Yes he did" Tristan said
"Saxon is using you just like the Empire!" Hunter said "He doesn't care about you your mother or anyone in this house you're just blinded by fear to see it"
"How dare you!" Tristan said as he then started attacking Hunter while the hybrid kept dodging his attacks. "You know nothing Jedi! You don't know what we been through!"
"Tristan stop!" Sabine pleaded as she watched her Brother and Boyfriend fight.
Hunter grabbed onto Tristan's staff as they trying to push eachother back until Hunter kicked Tristanin the gut then knocked him to the ground while pointing the staff in his face.
"Did he tell you he tried to kill Sabine?" Hunter growled making Tristan look shocked.
"What that can't be true" He said
"It is true Tristan" Sabine said "He tried to kill me along with Hunter"
"That's not true Mother is willing to trade the Jedi for your safety Sabine" Tristan said
"What!?" Hunter shouted as he and Sabine heard a ship hovering above the house.
"Mother what have you done?" Sabine said as she and Hunter ran to the throne room while Tristan followed.
Later the teens entered room and saw that Ezra and Kanan were being held hostage.
"You can do this!" Sabine said
"Yes she can" said Saxon said as he entered the room "because she is loyal just not to you,I believe you have something else for me"
Ursa then tossed the Darksaber over to Saxon and he caught it.
"No!" Sabine said
"I held up my end of the bargin Saxon" Ursa said "You have the Darksaber take the Jedi and let my Daughter go"
"You're mother betrayed everything you believed in to save you" Saxon said to Sabine "It's admiral except she consorted with traitors to do it"
"What are you talking about?" Ursa asked
"My count is you are harboring rebels here" Saxon said "Clan Wren is clearly a threat to the Empire and must be made an example"
Saxon's men then aimed their guns at clan Wren while they did the same.
"Governer wait" Tristan pleaded "It doesn't have to be this way we are all Mandalorians"
"I'll be fair to you Tristan for you have served me well" Saxton said "I'll give you a choice stand with me or die with your family"
Tristan then decide to point his blaster as Sabine "I choose family" he said as he pointed his gun a Saxon.
"Then Clan Wren ends here" Saxon hissed and Ignited the Darksaber.
Just then Fenn Roue came clashing throught the window and tossed the Jedi their sabers.
"Took you long enough" Kanan said as he,Ezra and Hunter deflected the bolts.
"Roue!" Saxton Roared as the Mandalorians fought against eachother.
"Remeber only blast the guys-"
"In white yeah we know" Hunter said
Then Sabine saw Saxon walking toward Ursa about to kill her.
"Sabine!" Hunter called as he threw one of his sabers as his caught the saber,ignited the blade and blocked Saxon's attack.
You will be taken back to Mandalore where you'll finish what you started!" Saxon growled "the last living member of the wren clan!"
The two Mandalorians clashed blades until Saxon tackled Sabine and they crashed through the window.
The members of house Wrenand the rebels went outside and saw Sabine and Saxon clashing blades until Saxon knocked Sabine down stood above her.
"This is where it ends child" Saxon growled as he was about to kill Sabine.
"NO!" Hunter yelled as he jumped off the balcony and without thinking he grabbed the stone Sword of Mandalore and yanked it out of the stone it was planted in the stone blade started cracking and shine a new silver blade but Hunter didn't notice as he used the sword to cut Saxon's head off and the rest of hid body fell down dead.
Hunter looked at what he just did and realized he was holding the legendary Sword of Mandalore in his hands. It hand a long silver steel blade with some unfimliar writing on it and the hilt was made out of pure gold with the Mandalorian crest in the middle.
Sabine stood up in shock while the other Mandalorians approached him also in shock.
"Hunter why didn't you tell me you were part Mandalorian?" Sabine asked
"I didn't even know I was" Hunter said
Then all the Mandalorians including some of Saxon's men Kneeled to Hunter because to them he was their new ruler.
Later Chopper landed the Phantom infront of the Wren house.
"Sure you show up now that all the fighting is over" Ezra said
"The Empire will after once they find out what's happened here" Kanan said "the rebellion can help"
"The same Rebellion that sent you for my help?" Ursa asked "No Mandalore must rise by itself we protect our own"
"So do we" Hunter said "Sabine?"
"She's right" Sabine said
"Wait you're not coming with us?" Ezra asked
"I'm done running away" Sabine said "My Father is on Mandalore we'll find a way to get him back and then maybe we can join the fight against the Empire but until then I could do more good here"
We understand" Hunter "than I should probably give this back"
Hunter was about to give the Sword of Mandalore to Ursa but she refused to take it.
"It's not mine to take" she said "You pulled it,it's rightfully question is will you choose to rule us?"
"I don't know" Hunter said "being a ruler is a big responsibility plus I'm not even sure if I am part Mandalorian I'm gonna need some time to think about it"
"Of course" Ursa smiled "And thank you for taken care of my daughter"
"You're welcome Countess" Hunter said
"Please call me Ursa" Ursa said
"Ok...Ursa" Hunter said as he turned to Sabine.
"You think you can survive without me?" Sabine smirked as Hunter smiled.
"It won't be easy" the hybrid said "But I'll try to manage"
Both the teens wrapped their arms around eachother and gave eachother a long passionate kiss until they broke awayfor air.
"I'll miss you" Sabine said
"I'll miss you too" Hunter said as He and the other Rebels got on the ship and took off.
While in the Phantom Hunter looked at the Sword in his hand and he knew he had a lot of questions for his parents.
