Hello readers, the last chapter was quite a cliffhanger. I'm happy to present you the next chapter.
Comment for story ideas or just to comment.
Zeb's POV
I wandered through the markets on Lothal trying to find the supplies on Hera's list. I had to find the medical supplies, Kanan had to get tools, Hera got food, and Sabine stole weapons.
"You got med-kits?" I asked one of the market owners. He stopped arguing with another market owner to turn to me.
"Yeah, I got 'em, how much you willing to pay?" He asked as a smirk covered his slimey face.
"12 credits." I replied trying to get a deal. The slime covered thief shook his head.
"30 credits" He said pulling out a crate of med-kits. I rubbed the back of my head with uncertainty.
"Deal." I said. The market owner held out one green hand dripping with slime.
"No thanks." I said shivering at the sight of that nasty hand. I grabbed the crate and began headed back to the Ghost. I was almost onto the ramp when there was a huge crash. I left the crate and ran into the Ghost to find Ezra fighting off the Inquisitor one handed. They clashed lightsabers making their way into the fields. I pulled out my trusty bow rifle and took a few shots at the Pau'an. He was so quick he deflected them and was still able to block Ezra's attacks.
"Kid duck!" I shouted as I pulled out one of Sabine's 'miracles' and tossed it under the Inquisitor. Ezra jumped out of the way, but was hit by the force of the blast. It pushed him into the air. He hit the ground and scared a loth-cat away. I ran over to him.
"Kid? Kid are you ok?" I asked as I shook him. He groaned as he opened his big electric blue eyes.
"Why'd you have to throw it so late?" The teen said with a smirk on his cut up face. I helped him up.
"We should probably get out of here before that guy wakes up." I said eyeing the clouds of yellow and purple smoke where the Inquisitor lied unconscious.
Ezra's POV
I began to follow Zeb into Capital City when I was pulled by my leg. I fell forward smashing into the ground on my broken arm. I groaned trying to get to my feet. Zeb shouted something but I couldn't hear him, all I heard was ringing. I was dizzy and my head was pounding. That faded out as I quickly came to my senses. I turned to see what caused me to fall, that's when I saw the ugly, white face of the Inquisitor standing behind me.
"Hello child. Are you ready to give in yet?" The Inquisitor asked as he loomed over me with his hands placed behind his back. Zeb began to run towards me with his bow rifle out. The Pau'an scoffed as he lifted his hand and force pushed Zeb at the Ghost making a loud 'clang'. Zeb lied unconscious next to the outer wall of the Ghost. I glared at the Inquisitor, inside me boiled with rage and revenge.
"No, I'll never join you." I said as I stood and activated my lightsaber. The Inquisitor did not do the same. He only looked disappointed, on his face a frown became a cold stare.
"It looks like I'll have to change your mind then." He said with a small smirk on his face. The Pau'an lifted his right hand and used the force on my mind. I began to scream in pain. I fell onto the soft Lothal grass and curled into a ball as the Inquisitor messed with my head.
Kanan's POV
I had finished getting the supplies and was going to the rondevu to meet up with Hera. I was halfway there when I felt a sharp pain in my head. It wasn't my pain though, it was my Padawan's. Something was wrong. I called to Ezra through the bond as I ran towards the Ghost.
"Ezra! Ezra where are you? I'm on my way." I told him through our bond. I felt his doubt, his anger, and his fear.
"Get out of my head!" He screamed through the bond. I felt more and more pain in my head until it suddenly stopped. I couldn't feel him anymore, I ran faster. I arrived in the field where the Ghost was, I saw Zeb lying against the Ghost. I bolted over to him.
"Zeb! Where's Ezra?" I asked as he groaned rubbing the back of his head. I helped him up.
"The Inquisitor tried to get the kid." Zeb said still a little groggy. Fear raced through my body. The Inquisitor! What would he want from Ezra? He's just a kid. I looked around and saw a shuttle. I dashed towards it just in time to see the Inquisitor carrying a limp Ezra into the shuttle. I force pulled Ezra out of the Inquisitor's arms and into mine. He had an expression of pain on his face. Even when he was in my arms I still couldn't reach him in the bond. The Inquisitor activated his lightsaber, I did the same.
"What did you do to my Padawan?" I asked as I blocked his blade.
"You mean my Apprentice." He sneered. I attacked but he blocked them. We continued to fight when an explosion of pink and purple hit the Pau'an. He flew backwards into his now purple shuttle. I took advantage of the distraction to grab my Padawan and run. I was almost to the Ghost when a crimson blade flew past my face singeing the tips of my hair. I looked back to see a multicolored Inquisitor limping towards us. I would have laughed at the sight if we weren't about to be murdered. I jumped onto the Ghost ramp as it had begun to take off. Who's flying the Ghost? I laided Ezra in the med bay, quickly checked for injuries, luckily there weren't any, and headed to the cockpit. When the doors 'swooshed' open I saw a confused Zeb trying to pilot the ship. I took the controls from him. Zeb stood up and sighed with relief.
"Go check on the Ezra." I told Zeb as I landed in an empty field near the rondevu with Hera. I headed down to the bay to meet Hera.
"Where have you been?" Hera asked. She seemed angry and a little surprised. Sabine ran up behind her with a crate.
"I got the blasters, but we need to go now." Sabine said as she threw one of her color bombs at the oncoming herd of stormtroopers. I grabbed both my crate and Hera's as she dashed to the cockpit. We barely made it to hyperspace. While the most of the crew was relaxing or checking the supplies, I headed to the med bay where my Padawan was. I placed my hand on his shoulder and his eyes flung open.
"Hey, it's ok Ezra. It's just me." I said. I was able to sense the bond again. The Inquisitor must have given him force suppressors. I sent him calming waves through our bond. He still felt doubt and fear.
"Ezra, can you tell me what the Inquisitor did to you?" I asked, trying to find out how I could help my vulnerable Padawan. He was shaking as I said the Pua'an's name. He pulled his knees up to his chest.
"He, he told me you weren't coming. He said that, that you didn't care. A-and, he said you were lying to me, that the only reason I was here is…" He stammered. Ezra's voice trembled with fear as he recalled what happened. I pulled him close to me.
"Ezra, I will always come back for you and I love you so much. The Inquisitor is trying to turn you Ezra, but I will never let that happen." With those words Ezra's doubt lessened and he began to drift off to sleep.
Awwwww. Cute ending. Ezra is such a sweet little blueberry. Hope you enjoyed this action/cute packed chapter.
Until next time Specters. ;)
