Disclaimer:same thing
The next day Ezra,Hunter,Sabine,Ryder,Mia and Zeb were all wearing their normal gear but Hunter was wearing the Mandalorian gear his fiancée got for Rebels looked out into the distance and saw a small Impreial base full of tie fighters.
"I see plenty of intercepters but that's nothing new" Sabine said "Are you sure this is the place Ryder?"
"My spies said this would be where the new tie defender would be" Ryder said
"Well we've been out here for hours and all i see are these stinking lothcats" Zeb said while said lothcats were all over him.
"Awe come on Zeb don't tell me you don't think these guys are cute" Hunter said as he rubbed one lothcat's stomach.
"What can we say they like us" Ezra said doing the same to another lothcat.
"Im glad someone likes you guys" Sabine said "but right now we need to focus"
"Specter 2 to Specter 6 whats your status?" Hera said over the comlink.
"No sign of the ship" Ezra said "How's your recon going?"
"The Empire has been working on their defences there are some fuel tanks near the factory"
"They must be planning a new scale of production" Kanan said
"Maintain servalance til nightfall then come to base"
"Rodger that pheniox six out" Ezra said
"My spies tell me this new prototype is tought then the one you've already encountered" Ryder said "Power engines and an upgraded targeting computer"
"Damn if that what the protype has I'm scared to see what the actual one can do" Hunter said
"Same here" Mia said "The first one is tough enough"
"Yeah well I'll believe it when I see it" Zeb said
"That's why we're here Zeb" Ezra said
Just then the Lothcats started growling and hissing.
"They sense something" Hunter said
Then out of nowhere a tie fighter flew right past the rebels so fast it was like a blur and the winds knocked Sabine's and Hunter's helmets off their heads. Sabine put her helmet back on and looked to see the new tie defender.
"Do you see it now Zeb?" She asked
"Yeah" Zeb replied "But I still don't believe it"
"I've never seen a fighter with kinda speed before" Hunter said
"Do we have anything that can match it?" Mia asked
"It would definitely give the Ghost a run for its money" Sabine said as she took a closer look at the pilot. "Hunter the pilot. It's the instuctor from the Sky strike academy"
"You're right it is" Hunter said as he looked "Volt Escaris"
"Well we got a good look" Ryder said "we should have enough for rebel command"
"Mission accomplished" Zeb said
"No we need that fignter's hyperdrive" Hunter said
"Hunter we got what we came for" Ryder said
"Hunter's right" Sabine said "if we're gonna beat that thing we need more then a pretty picture"
"I don't like where this is headed" Zeb said
"We need the the hyperdrive and the data recorder" Hunter said "The data recorder would give a record of the ship's range,weapons,and sheilds plus we can install the hyperdrive into Ryder's U-wing and get it to Rebel command"
"He's right" Ezra said "Ryder you,Zeb,and Mia keep watch while Hunter Sabine and I get the recorder and hyperdrive"
Ezra and the others were about to walk off until Mia grabbed Ezra's arm.
"Ezra wait" Mia pleaded.
Ezra looked back at Mia all confused then suddenly Mia pulled Ezra to her and their lips touched eatchother. They kissed. Ezra was surprised but then his brain shut down and returned the kiss until the two broke away.
"For luck" Mia smiled
"Thanks" Ezra said as he followed his team mates while the lothcats followed him.
The teens went and hid behind a rock and saw the place was crawling with probe droids then they enteredthe base and hid behind some crates and saw two troopers gaurding the defender
"This is no good we need a distraction" Sabine said
"I think we got one" Hunter said "Look"
The teens saw the lothcats walking up to the troopers and tried to be cute until the troopers started shooting at them then they got vicious and attacked the troopers then they chased the cats away.
"Huh I'm begining to like those cats more and more" Sabine said "You two keep watch"
"Be careful babe" Hunter said
"I will" Sabine said as she snuck over to the tie defender.
Just then a shuttle flew in and landed near the base and who steps out? Non other then Thrawn and Pryce.
"Great things just went from bad to worse" Hunter said as he contacted Sabine. "Sabine we have to go now!"
"I almost got it just stall him"
"Stall him? It's Thrawn!" Hunter said
"You'll think of something my love i believe in you"
"Come on let's go" Ezra said
The boys looked around and from a distance Hunter saw the same white wolf from yesterday.
"You again?" Hunter said
"What is it?" Ezra asked
"That Wolf i saw it twice yesterday" Hunter said as he pointed to the wolf and Ezra saw it.
"A Lothwolf" Ezra said "Looks like he's not alone"
Hunter looked out into the fields and his eyes widen at what he saw was...a Dragon. The Dragon was huge it was white just like the Lothwolf and had four legs,two large wings on its back and emerald eyes.
"A Dragon?" Hunter said to himself
The wolf howled slightly at Ezra while the Dragon growled gently at Hunter. Just then the boys heard a click and saw a pilot starting to shoot at the them Ezra deflected the bolt but tripped over the crate making Thrawn and the other see them.
"Nice going cluts" Hunter said as he deflected bolts from the stormtroopers. Ezra fought of some troopers while Hunter took care of the Death Troopers.
"I thought Death Troopers would be more of a challenge!" Hunter mocked as he continued to fight. Just then the Tie Defender started to take off and started shooting at the troopers.
"Ezra get on the fighter now!" Hunter said as he and his friend jumped on the fighter,got into the cockpit and took off.
"Good thinking babe" Hunter said
"What else did you expect?" Sabine asked while she shot the other fighters and destroy them then fled the scene.
"I thought we were just going to steal the data recorder and the hyperdrive" Ezra said
"We are but this fighter can get us there faster" Sabine said
"I love your big brain" Hunter said
"I know" Sabine said
"Ezra fly east while Sabine and I disable the transbomber" Hunter said "We don't need the Empire tracking us"
Sabine and Hunter took off their Helmets and started working on the transbomber but then Empire managed to track them.
"We got trouble!" Ezra said as he tried to fly away from the enemy fighters Ezra kept dodge the fighters and shooting them down one by one.
"Keep it steady!" Sabine said
"I'm trying not to get shot down!" Ezra said as he kepted flying then shot the last two fighters then flew away from the mountains.
"Almost-there!" Sabine smiling however Hunter wasn't smiling at what he saw.
"No no no!" Hunter said
"What is t?" Sabine asked her fiancé
"Look!" Hunter said then Sabine had the same scared look.
"No!" She said
"What?what is it?" Ezra asked
"Land the ship Ezra!" Hunter ordered "Now!"
"What's wrong?" Ezra asked
"This ship has a kill switch" Sabine said "they used at Sky strike remember?"
"They can disable this ship from a distance" Hunter said
Just then one wing fell off then another as they only had one left.
"I only got one wing!" Ezra said
"Better then none at all!" Hunter said
Then the fighter landed near the rocks and the teens escaped unharmed as the fell out of the cockpit.
"Ugh is everyone alright?" Hunter asked
"We're ok" Sabine said as they all stood up "looks like we're gonna have to install that hyperdrive onto Ryder's U-wing after all"
"How are we going to carry it?" Ezra asked
"Anyway we can" Hunter said "now lets hurry"
Later the teens carried the heavy Hyperdrive across the feilds and stopped to catch their breath. Just then Ezra and Hunter saw the same Lothcat from where they met Ryder.
"Ezra follow the Lothcat" Hunter said
"Say what now?" Sabine aked
"Back when Kanan,Hunter and I came to Lothal after leaving Garrel we followed a white lothcat that led us to Ryder" Ezra said "Maybe its showing us the way to go"
The teens followed the white lothcat and saw a small opening between two rocks.
"Look we can hide the hyperdrive in there and come back for it later" Ezra said
"Good idea" Hunter said "I'm getting tired of dragging this thing"
The teens dragged the hyperdrive into the opening and covered it with another rock then they walked away.
Later that night the teens snuck around trying to avoid being spotted by the Empire as they hid behind a rock.
Did they see us?" Sabine asked
"No I don't think so" Ezra replied
"We have to keep moving" Sabine said
Just then Hunter and Ezra heard a howl and looked behind them as they was the same Lothwolf and Dragon from before.
"Guys" Sabine said "Guys we have to go!"
But the Boys kept looking and the Wolf and dissappeared
"What is it?" Sabine asked
"We thought we saw somthing" Ezra said "I think it's a Lothwolf no one has seen them in a hundred years and also a Loth Dragon Ithought they were only supposed to be a myth"
"But we keep seeing them" Hunter said
"A Lothwolf and Dragon?" Sabine asked
Yeaaaaahhh" Ezra said as he saw the Lothwolf appear behind Sabine. Then the ground started to shake like giant footsteps and then the LothDragon appeared behind Ezra while the two creature's growled at the teens.
"Um guys" Hunter said as Sabine was put to sleep by the wolf.
"What did you do to her?" Ezra demanded.
Then the Lothdragon stood next to the Wolf as Ezra reached for his lightsaber but Hunter stopped him.
"Ezra don't" The Hybrid said "I don't think they wanna hurt us"
"How do you know" Ezra asked
"I just do" Hunter said as he stood up and looked the two beasts in the eyes. "You don't want to harm us. then what do you want with us?"
The two majestic beast approached Hunter and looked him deep in the eyes and Hunter felt somthing familiar.
These two,have a deep conection to the force" Hunter said
Then the Lothcat,Wolf,and Dragon all looked at the Empire and growled.
"So you don't like the Empire either" Ezra said "They're looking for us"
The Dragon then helped carry Sabine on its back and then urged Hunter to get on.
"Ezra you get on the Lothwolf's back I'll ride on the Dragon" Hunter said
"But they'll spot you in the air" Ezra said
"No they won't" Hunter said
"How?" Ezra asked
"Because I trust them" Hunter said as he climbed on the Dragon's back, Then the Dragon tilted it's head into the air and breathed out some kind of mist that went into the air creating a thick fog.
"It's fog" Hunter said
Just then the LothDragon flapped it's wings and flew up into the fog while Ezra rode on the wolf's back. The Dragon flew through the fog like it was nothing.
"Thank you" Hunter said to the Dragon as it continued to fly throught the night sky.
The next moring the Lothwolf and Dragon managed to get the teens out of harm as they both stopped to rest near the teens stepped down of the creatures while Hunter laid Sabine gently down on the ground as he and Ezra faced the two giant creatures.
"I don't understand" Ezra said "Why did you help us?"
The Wolf and Dragon looked at the boys eyes.
"DUME" The wolf said
"ARCHER" The Dragon said
The boys looked at the beasts in shock at what the creatures just said.
"Ezra,Hunter,Sabine!" Hera called out as she and the other rebels ran up to them while Sabine was starting to wake up "Thank god you re safe"
"How did you get back here so fast?" Zeb asked
"Don't you see the Wolf and Dragon?" Ezra asked as he turned but the beasts were gone.
"Sabine you saw them right?" Hunter asked as his fiancée stood up.
"I don't remember seeing anything" Sabine said
"Well we got the data recorder and we hid the hyperdrive in the rocks" Hunter said
"Then we can come and go off this rock" Zeb said "Well done you two"
The rebels walked off into the mountains while the Wolf and Dragon watched from a safe distance
