Chapter 23
Oh come on guys! Cinnamon AND lemon! Is that so hard! Lol, and AHHHHH A M3mb3r!it is NOT beaver flavored! D: congrats to all you who said cinnamon! Close enough! And I am SO SORRY this one took so long! My only excuse is that Canadian Netflix just got 'The Fosters' legally addicting! Ok, I'll shut up now! ….
"H-how is that even possible! When did they even grab the kid without me bashing their heads in!" Demanded Zeb.
"The Vents" Sabine whispered. "They must have taken him when he went in the vent."
"T-this whole time." Spoke Kanan, "this whole time we was here, b-being" he trailed off.
"So what do we do now?" asked Hera, the crew never looking to Kanan for guidance more.
"For once, I don't know." Kanan said, his green eyes desperately searching for an answer, but not finding one.
"So, what's gonna happen now?" Asked Zeb.
"Well that's quite simple" a voice spoke from behind the cell. A horrible, truly terrible, unforgettable voice that belonged to non-other than agent Kallus, followed close behind by Tarkin. "The boy will continue to be tortured until he either joins the dark side or dies."
"And by the looks of it, it looks like death just might win this race." Takin added, almost smiling as he said it. "It doesn't look like he will last too long."
"You touch him and I swear I'll-" but Zeb's threat was cut off by Kallus's sick laughter.
"Your in no position to be making threats, Lasat." He said before entering the room with Tarkin. And as soon as the doors opened, Ezra just knew it was going to hurt.
Bad.
As they entered the room Kallus turned to Tarkin as the door closed. "it will be most enjoyable to agonize to Jedi with the cry's of his padawan."
"Yes Kallus, but that is only stage one, next we will bring him into the room and make him watch as we slowly suck the life out of the force sensitive child." Tarkin said, showing absolutely no signs of emotions besides evil.
" But, I must ask Tarkin, why put the Jedi through this and make it easier for him to make a move? Why not simply execute him now and be done with it? Rig the galaxy of one more Jedi?"
"Have I taught you nothing Kallus?"
'Virtually' He thought, but didn't dare say it to the man's face, he had two workers of the Empire killed in front of him for losing the rebels, he really didn't want to get on his bad side more than he had to.
Tarkin sighed. "The Jedi is too old, stuck in his ways to join our side and become a sith, it needs to be enforced at a young age, but, much like Master Lumanara, his bones can still serve and be very useful to the Empire. But first-"
"But first he needs to be mentally broken." Said Kallus, catching on, "he needs to, if only for a moment, feel as if he is powerless, that there is no point in fighting an already lost battle. That he should no longer trust in the force."
"Exactly." Said Tarkin. "There is a reason you should not become too emotionally involved with you padawan, because they can become your greatest weakness. But I'll let you in on a little secret Kallus, all Jedi do. No matter how hard they try, they develop a bond with the young ones, no matter how much they don't show it. They always become your greatest weakness, no matter the Jedi."
"Even…" Kallus asked, before inevitably trailing off.
"Yes" said Tarkin, "even Darth Vader."
And then they both turned as the doors to the cell opened, as Vader himself entered. Kanan's eyes grew wide, along with the rest of the crew as they watched the strange black figure enter Ezra's cell. He just looked so, scary, so, powerful, so, so filled with hate. The king of bucket heads.
And all the crew saw was the strange new threat draw a red blade and slowly enter the room, as the doors slightly swept up his cape as they closed behind him.
And that was the last thing they saw before he hallway and cells were overflowing with the sound of Ezra's screams, and his crew, his family, being forced to listen to them.
Again, so sorry for how long this took! And sorry it was a bit short, it will pick up in the next one! I hope you still like it after season 2 airs, speaking of which…
