Chapter 24

PLEASE READ!: before you read the chapter I have a VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION! Toby Maguire vs Andrew Garfield for spider man, you guys are totally with Toby on this one, right?! Ok, enjoy…

Ezra tried not to scream.

He tried so hard to muffle the sounds of his pain, knowing that his crew would be listening. And he refused to make them worry about him when they should be worrying about themselves, finding a way out. And besides, he already looked weak enough in front of them; they stared as he lied on the ground half alive, physically… and mentally. And he did not want them hearing his cries of pain. Bu he just couldn't mask them.

Not today.

Lord Bucket Brain was bringing his A game today. Either someone really ticked him off, of he was just trying to make Ezra in so much pain that his crew would be forced to listen to it. Ezra thought it was safe to assume the second one.

"Pathetic child." The man spoke, never flinching as he beat Ezra, "you honestly think you have, had what it takes to be a Jedi?" he spoke, Ezra imagined an evil smirk on his face, if he even knew how to smile.

"So Bucket Brain, I'd rather be a failed Jedi then a successful coward like you!" said Ezra through shaky breaths, still finding the strength to smirk.

"Are you attempting to anger me boy? Because it won't work." He said, getting closer to Ezra, asserting his power, but Ezra wasn't done.

"No" he said sourly, "how do you even anger a person with so much power? With so much anger? With so much, nothing to lose." He said, never taking his eyes off of the black figure before him.

Vader calmly drew his light saber, its red light reflecting off his armor. "What do you mean nothing to lose? I have an entire Empire, I suggest you chose your next words very, very carefully."

But Ezra wasn't backing down. "I mean, nothing to lose. How do you lose if you have nothing to lose? No one to lose"

"Love is weakness boy, the sooner you know that the better." He spoke, both wise-ness and evil in his voice.

"But I already know that." Said Ezra, showing no signs of stopping, "Yes, love is weakness, but it also means you have something to lose. I would rather be weak and have someone, then alone and sad. Dead inside."

"Mindless child. Why would you not want to be powerful? Rely on no one."

"Because." Said Ezra looking up from where he was strapped to the table, "Then I would be like you."

And just like that Vader angrily whipped his light saber across Ezra's stomach, mostly a burn, but just deep enough to bleed. Ezra screamed out in pain, but still wasn't finished. Vader then withdrew his saber and turned to flee, but stopped for a dead second and the sound of Ezra's voice, before he left the room.

"What do you know." Said Ezra smiling, making Vader stop dead in his tracks, "I made you angry!"

"Chopper?" Ahsoka asked calmly as she approached the small orange droid. He gradually panicked, flailing his robotic arms and spinning his head, making beeping noises like his life depended on it. "Hey, hey, hey, calm down little friend, its me, Ahsoka." She said stepping closer, Chopper began to calm down, "Come on" she said, "Lets get you out of this maze!"

As Ahsoka existed the maze, her other crew members didn't seem to notice the droid at her feet. "Anything?" she asked.

"Yea" Zatt called as he came closer to her, Marah close behind. "There are blaster burns, empty smoke bombs, rope, tipped over barrels, there was clearly a huge fight that broke out here, there's still smoke rising from some places, so it couldn't have been too long ago."

"No Zatt." Said Marah, looking at the Twi'lek, "This was no fight," she then turned to Ahsoka, "this was an ambush."

And just at that word, Chopper started beeping a mile a minuet, the other two just starting to notice him now.

"Huh? Wait, isn't that the astromech from the ghost ship?" Zatt questioned.

"Yes" answered Ahsoka, as she kneeled down to Chopper. "Hey, calm down small one, Chopper listen, I need you to tell us everything that happened. We're going to find your crew, but were going to need your help."
