Chapter 2 - Rumours

"There have been rumours about a couple of surviving Jedi on tatooine." Said Kanan

"Do you know them?" She asked.

"I might do, I think one of them might be Master Kenobi, but I can't be sure" He replied.

The thought of more Jedi excited me, clearly enough to raise my force signature…

"Ezra…" Kanan said as I walked in trying to look innocent.

"Yes Master? I replied, trying to keep up my innocent act, but knowing that it was in vain.

"I know you heard that, but lets just make something percfectly clear. They are just rumours, okay?, There could be no truth in them whatsoever." Kanan said, emphasising the word rumours, as though I didn't know what the word meant.

"Okay." I said "Just one question, who is Master Kenobi?"

Kanan was surprised, but then again, this was the most we'd actually spoken about the past of the Jedi, but I could sense that for once, this story wasn't one that would depress Kanan, he seemed… lost in thought.

"Master Kenobi was one of the leading Generals in the Clone Wars. He was able to win entire battles without the firing of a single blaster, that's why his nickname was "The Negotiator". He was the legendary Jedi that defeated General Greivous, but that would have been a bit before your time. Me, Hera and Zeb are the only ones on the Ghost old enough to remember the Clone Wars.

Hera spoke up for the first time that day. "Master Kenobi was part of the Republic force that freed my home world, Ryloth, during the Clone Wars, my people were slaves, and what little resistance that we could muster, most of the people were too ill to actually fight back, and the ones that did often ended up dead."

"Wow, that must've been hard." I said

"You don't know the half of it" she replied quietly. "I wasn't that old at the time, but luckily I was taken in by the resistance when my parents were taken away by the droids… I never saw them again."

"Im sorry" I said sadly as I hugged her. My emotions overcame me seeing our strong brave pilot about to cry and I pulled her In to a tight embrace. That broke her and she started to cry, so I passed her to Kanan as I knew he would be able to handle this much better than I would. I left quietly and went to my room, while I was napping, I had a dream about what I had heard about the clone wars. This made me want to meet Master Kenobi even more.

I was awoken by Zed rudely pulling me off my bunk, then laughing when I groaned in pain. "Boss has called a meeting" he said, once he'd stopped laughing.

I followed Zeb into the common room to where the meeting was being held.

"Nice of you to join us" Sabine said jokingly, I stuck my tongue out at her and winked in a flirtatious way, and she just rolled her eyes, but couldn't help hide the smile that I brought to her face.

"Alright, settle down." Kanan said loudly "We've heard a lot of rumours lately about two Jedi taking refuge on tatooine, and one of Hera's contacts has just confirmed it. We are going to look into it, but I'd like everyone to be aware that this could be a trap laid by the sith lord or one of his inquisitors. I want everyone to be up for this, so get your rest. Does anybody have any objections to going?"

The whole crew stayed quiet, all excited in there own way about the prospect of having more Jedi fighting for there cause, I couldn't hold my excitement, so I piped up with "When do we leave?" and Kanan smiled and told me to soon, but he also advised me to keep calm and not get my hopes up too high in case it was a trap as he suspected.
