Chapter 5: Rise of Old Masters
The Ghost hovers in the clouds as Ezra was doing a hand stand on the turret as Mako was sitting on the side in Indian, meditating. Chopper, Zeb, and Leo were there as well. "Focus, focus on letting go." Kadan instructs Ezra and Mako, "Letting go? Rather holding on." Ezra tells him as he was trying to do it on one hand, "Enough jokes." Kadan tells him. "I'm trying," Ezra tells him.
"Do or do not, there is no try." Kadan tells them and Mako opens one eye, "Do you even know what that means?" she asks him. "How can we do something, if you don't try to do it?" Ezra asks him. "Well, see, it's…" Kadan tries to explain it, but Mako smirks at him, "You don't know, do you?" she asks him as she relaxes. He nods, "Yeah that one always confused me, but Master Yoda sure said it a lot. Your father was able to get it." he said, pointing at Mako. She stood upturn, flips off the side and did a handstand on one hand. "Wait a minute you know, don't you?" he questions her, she just looks at him and flips back onto her feet. "I have no idea what you're talking about," she tells him.
Then Zeb yawns as he stretches and stood up, "I thought this Jedi stuff would be more interesting." he states and slaps Leo's leg, waking him up. Leo shot up, "What did I miss?" he asks him, the two look at him and he yawns and stretches. "No wonder the old religion died." Zeb states as Leo stood up. Chopper agrees with him, "Come on kid, do something, amuse me!" Zeb begs him. "Use the force," Zeb said, moving the turret and knocks Ezra's balance right off and he falls into an open crate. Everyone looks down at Ezra and Mako makes her way down to him. Zeb, Chopper, and Leo just laugh. Kadan makes his way down as well as Mako helps Ezra out of the crate, "Do they have to be here?" Ezra questions him. "They're annoying, but there are always distraction, you need to focus on them," Kadan tells him.
Making Mako sigh at that, "Here let's try something else." Kadan took out his lightsaber, putting it together and gave it to Ezra. He takes it and looks at it, "When do we get our own?" he asks him, then Kadan places his hand on Ezra's shoulder, "Having a laser sword doesn't make you a Jedi." Kadan tells him and looks at Mako, "Sorry I don't have a spear, Mako." he tells her, she nods at him and pulls out one of the cylinders she kept with her and she offers it to him, Kadan looks at it with amazement, "This is… Master Orion's saber or at least one of them." he tells her and looks at Mako, "It's right to belong to the family." he tells her, giving the saber back to her, she took it and held it with confusion.
"Here, let me help," he tells her, standing behind her, making her hold the saber in her hands. "Press this button here," he instructs, Mako looks down at the button and activates her saber, making a neon blue light shoot out, making a hum. Mako looks at it with wonder as she fell back into Kadan's chest, he chuckles at her, his hands' place on her shoulders. "You got it?" he asks her, she nods as she was smiling at the blade, "The adjustor is on the side," he informs her, she nods at him and shortens the blade. Then Ezra activates his, Kadan ducks as Mako defects the blade with hers, pointing it up.
"Careful Ezra!" Mako tells him, then Kadan stood up, "Nice reaction." he compliments Mako, she smiles at him. Ezra rolls his eyes, "The adjustor is on the side of the saber." Kadan informs him and Ezra shortens the blade. "I think it needs to be a little shorter." Zeb jokes Leo and Chopper laugh at that joke. The two glared at him and then walk over to the edge as Kadan walks over to them, "Okay, close your eyes." Kadan orders, the two did so and they were ready. "Let them have it Chopper, Leo!" Kadan tells them and the two started to threw cartons at them, Ezra kept getting hit as Mako was slicing through them. "Be precise, kept the blade… up." Kadan tells Ezra as he kept getting hit. Zeb laughs, "That's it, kid, use your body to slow down the junk!" Zeb shouts, handing Chopper another one.
"You're not… focusing… Ezra." Kadan tells him and sighs. Mako cuts through the last one and opens her eyes and steps to the side, flinching every time Ezra got hit, but then they overdid it and Ezra went over the side, dropping the saber, "Kid!" Zeb shouts. Kadan and Mako ran over, seeing Ezra slip, then Kadan offers his hand to Ezra but he slips off the nose turret. "Ezra!" Mako calls out and then thrust her hand down, making Ezra stop in mid-air and makes him slowly float up. Kadan helps her out as Hera lowers the ship and opens the ramp as Zeb and Leo were there and Zeb reaches out for Ezra, who reaches out for him. "Zeb…" Kadan tells him as he was slipping, "I… I can't…" Mako struggles, but then she exhales, letting go as she went to fall, Kadan lets go as well, catching her from falling. Then Ezra drops and Zeb and Leo catches him. "Got him!" Zeb calls out. Then they pull him in as Kadan held an exhausted Mako in his arms, he lowers her to the floor and checks on her as she was leaning against him.
~8~8~8~
Kadan then helps Mako into the Ghost and down the ladder as the four walks back onto the ship. "You weren't focused," Kadan informs him. "It's tough to focus when I'm falling to my death." Ezra reports walking pass him, but Kadan follows, gripping his arm, making the young man stop as Mako leans against the ladder for balance as she was zap of energy, "You wouldn't have been falling to your death of you were focused." Kadan argues.
"You're undisciplined and full of doubt." he adds in, then Ezra pulls his arm back and glares at him, "And who's fault is that, master?" he questions. Kadan sighs, "It's difficult to teach." Kadan answers, then pick Mako up in his arms and walks off, then Leo turns him around, "He means it's difficult to teach you." he reports, shoving him back. Then they followed after him, he locks eyes with Hera and they followed after him. "Kadan…" Ezra states but the holo-news were turn on, "You guys made the news." Sabine states as Mako was leaning back in the booth looking at the news. "A stolen Tie-fighter later than used to attack a transport full of innocent workers." the reporter states, "They're liars, we set them free!" Zeb argues.
But then the news was interrupted by a broadcast, "This is senator Gale Travis. I bring more news that the Empire doesn't want you to hear." the man said, "What's a Gale Travis?" Ezra asks as Mako was regaining her strength from eating some leftovers. "The only member of the Imperial senate planet with the courage to speak out publicly against the Empire," Hera informs him, Mako looks at her and back at the transmission, feeling suspicious about him. "One of the Republic's greatest peace-keepers, Jedi Master Luminara Undril… is alive," he said making Kadan and Hera shock, but Mako was confused. "She's been imprisoned unlawfully somewhere in the Stigin system. As citizens, we demand the emperor to release Master Undril and grant her a fair trial before the entire-" the transmission was cut off. "This Luminara, you meet her?" Ezra asks Kadan as he was thinking. "I meet her once, she was a great Jedi Master. Brave, compassionate, disciplined. In fact, she makes an excellent teacher for you and Mako." he states and the two look at him in shock.
"There have always been rumors that she survived the Clone Wars, but they never came to a specific location before. We can't pass this up." Kadan tells Hera, she places her hand on his shoulder. "I was hoping you say that. I'll set course for the Stigin." Hera tells him and walks off. "The rest of you, prep for an Op," he orders and follows her. Zeb pats Ezra's shoulder and walks off, Mako looks at the table as the two followed him. Chopper grumbles, "You hear that he's done with me and Mako, dumping us on some stranger." Ezra mumbles and Mako look away, hanging her head as she was sad. Chopper just chuckles as he rolls off, then Ezra looks over at Mako, walks over to her and places his hand on her shoulder, she then leans back in the booth and places her hand on top of his.
~8~8~8~
Everyone was gathered in the cockpit as they were in hyperspace, then Sabine pulls up the holo blueprints of the facility, "Welcome to the spire of Stigin Prime, the only containment facility in the Stigin system and it's impregnable." Sabine informs them, "That never stops us before." Kadan tells her, making Sabine and Leo chuckled, "Trust us, we have never face anything like this, it's a real work of art. Blast-proof, shield protected, anti-ship weapons, Tie-fighters and short and long range scanners." Sabine informs him.
"We can fool the scanners." Hera informs her, "Mh, maybe, but that leave an army of troopers and guard ports on the walls. Even if we get into this beauty, they hard part's getting out because you know, it's a prison." Leo tells her. "Why don't we go in low and sneaking onto this landing platforms?" Mako asks, pointing at the platform, Sabine shook her head. "Platform has a heavy trooper presence and enforce blast-doors. Impossible to get in or out that way," she informs her, then Kadan points at a spot. "Here. There's only a could of room for a few guards. Take them down, make our way up to the upper cellular levels, get Luminara and get out the same way we came." Kadan states and Chopper takes down the hole and grumbles at Kadan.
"Yeah, you have to be crazy to try that lousy plan." Sabine tells him, Kadan just smirks at her, "Well, let's hope the Empire thinks so too." he states as they drop out of hyperspace into the Stigin Prime, heading for the planet. Everyone except Chopper was in the shuttle. Mako sat next Ezra as the two ever not excited about the Op, then Chopper grumbles over the comm. "Oh I'm sorry, Chop we don't need your damage logic circuits on this one," Zeb tells him as the shuttle releases from the Ghost.
Hera then flies down through the clouds, Ezra looks at Zeb and Leo who were comfortable, then Mako looks at Kadan and Sabine. Kadan just sat there as Sabine pull on her helmet. The spire came into view as they left the clouds. "Thirty seconds. Good luck." Hera tells them as they get ready to drop, Zeb looks back at her, "Luck? We're going to need a miracle." he tells her and Sabine pull out a few detonators, "Here are five." she tells them and the four took one. "Stay focus." Kadan tells Ezra and Mako, "I thought there was no try." Ezra states, making Kadan look away. Then the door opens and Kadan jumps down, the two look out seeing Kadan land perfectly on the platform and then fights off the two guards with nothing up his hands.
The two were impressed, then Ezra steps back, "Ezra what are you-" she starts, "Kid wait!" Zeb calls out, but it was too late, Ezra then jumps out. "Damn it all," Mako shouts and then jumps after him. "Mako!" Leo calls out as she jumps out as well. Kadan finishes off the last guard, "Nice and quiet like." Kadan smirks to himself then heard Ezra as he fell, he saw him hit the ground, not making a nice landing. Then Mako lands down as well, but roll and reach for Ezra, but failed as he slips through her fingers hits the door making a really loud sound. The two froze in their spots as Ezra then moves away and Mako stood up ready for anything but nothing came. Making the two relax.
"What just happen? You two were supposed to exit with Zeb and Leo. You're lucky every stormtrooper in the prison doesn't know were here." Kadan snaps at them, then the door opens, showing a few troopers. Mako sighs and facepalms, "Why did you have to go and jinx it?" she mutters to Kadan, who shot her a glare. Then reaches out taking both of the blasters from two and threw them over. Then the three exited from the shuttle and then fought with the troopers. Throwing them all over the railing. Then Kadan turns to Mako and Ezra, "Stunts like that puts all in Jeopardy. That is exactly why you both need Master Luminara to teach you, disciple." Kadan reminds them.
"We were just following your example." Ezra tells him as the two were ashamed, "Yeah we'll try to stay focus and followed the plan instead." Kadan lechers them as Sabine tries to open the door, "I'd hate to interrupt, but we need Ezra to unlock the door." Sabine tells him, then Ezra ran over, pulling out his lockpick, "I got it." he tells her and started to pick the lock, Mako walks over to the door as Kadan quickly steps away from the light, "Ezra…" he questions. "Quiet. I'm focusing." Ezra tells him as Zeb and Leo leaned the pass out guard on the wall. Then the door opens and everyone ran into the prison.
Hera was under the platform with the shuttle attach to the wall, she presses a few buttons and shivers as she waits for them.
The six ran inside, then Kadan's shoulder hits Ezra to the side, "You're welcome." Ezra calls out to him and then Zeb hits him upside the head, "Ow." Ezra whines as Zeb leans in close. "You did your job. You want to meddle?" he tells him. Kadan stood at a crossroads then closes his eyes and focus, "Luminara's here. I sense her presence, but it's clouded." Kadan tells them as Sabine walks pass him and Ezra, Zeb, and Leo ran up to them. Then Mako and Kadan followed. "Where's Master Undirl?" Kadan asks her, "On detection block CC01. Isolation Cell 0169." Sabine informs him.
-Help… me…- a voice calls out, getting Mako's attention, making her look down the hall. -Make it stop… please end the torment…- it warns her, making her confused. She then turns back, seeing everyone get in the lift, she quickly ran in the lift with them and they went down. "His plan get worse all the time." Sabine states, Leo nods at her in agreement.
"Let hope he doesn't change then again." Zeb states, "Or a third time." Leo throws in. "You know I'm standing right here." Kadan tells them, "We know." they answer and Kadan crosses his arms. Ezra and Mako look away, but then Mako could hear someone crying, a woman was crying, she then looks at everyone else, seeing that they couldn't hear it, so why was she the only one that could?
~8~8~8~
They arrive on the lower level, then the door opens and Kadan pulls them in, the four beat the crap of them then the doors open and Kadan, Mako, and Ezra step out. "Maintain comm silence and whatever you do, hold this lift," Kadan orders the three. Then two troopers walk out, noticing them, "Hey you!" one calls out, aiming their blasters at them. "Stop!" he orders, but then Kadan force pulls them to him, and knocks them out.
Mako and Ezra were amazed by his sudden chance of attitude, "Wow, you're really not messing around tonight." Ezra tells him, he looks at the two, "There's a lot more at stake than you realize." Kadan tells him, then Mako heard the crying again. -Please… no more… no more…- the voice cries out for mercy, she then started to walk with Kadan as Zeb pulls the troopers into the lift. But one's head got caught in the lift, making Leo groan and then pulls the trooper's head out.
~8~8~8~
Two troopers stood guard at Luminara's cell. "Even see this Jedi Master?" the second guard asks him, "Don't have the clearance for it." he answers and then Kadan steps out, holding his arm out, "Shouldn't you be guarding the Jedi's cell, it's on the next level." he tells them, "On the next level…" one repeats, then the other looks at him, "You better hurry." Kadan tells him, "We better hurry." he repeats and they both walk off.
Then the two ran up and watch the troopers retreat, "Where do we learn that?" Ezra asks him, as the crying that Mako was hearing was more clear and loud. "Luminara will teach you, better than I could," Kadan answers as he opens the door and walks in, Ezra shot a look over at Mako and they both step in.
Mako looks down at Luminara as she was crying in her hands, but then she opens her eyes and looks up at them. "Is it really her?" Ezra asks, "Yes, but something's wrong." Kadan answers but then Mako steps forward, "No, it's not her." she answers. Luminara looks at her, then gets off the beach, walking up to them, "You're in pain, aren't you?" Mako asks her, then Luminara gently grips Mako's hand and pulls her over to the side. Luminara walks backward and phase through a steel coffin and Mako's hand was press against it, "This is Master Luminara." she tells them as the Jedi was in her true form. "What happen to her, I don't understand." Ezra states as he and Kadan were shocked. "No, it doesn't seem complicated." a man states, making the three look at him.
"I am the Inquisitor." he introduces himself, drawing his lightsaber, stepping into the cell and the door closes. "Welcome." he greets them with his black and yellow eyes and sharp fangs for teeth. Kadan drew his saber as Mako looks back at the remains of Luminara. "Yes, I'm afraid, Master Luminara died with the Republic, but her bones continue to serve the Empire, luring the last Jedi to their ends," he informs them, making Mako clutch her fist. "Spectre 3 come in, it's a trap." Ezra tries to warn the others but just got static instead. "There will be no reinforcements," he tells him then Kadan charges forward, attacking the Inquisitor, and they were lock in a duel. Mako looks at Luminaria. -Help me, please. End this torment.- she begs her. Mako reaches into her satchel, pulling out the detonator that Sabine gave her. Looks down at it and then pulls her arm back and smashes her elbow into the glass, breaking it.
She then enights the detonator and drops it inside the steel coffin, then moves away. Then the contacts inside BANG. The Inquisitor looks over, seeing Luminara's reminds were destroy. He growls and looks at Mako, "You little…" he went to strike at her but she rolls away quickly as she blade came down. "You've destroyed something valuable to the Empire." he tells her, "No I've set a tormented Jedi free." she snaps at him, he then gasp, looking at her eyes. "Silver eyes…" he mutters, then Kadan charges at him, but the Inquisitor blocks his attack and he kicks him in front of Mako and Ezra. The two kneel down in front of him, then Ezra fires at him, but the shots did nothing.
"This that really the best you got?" he questions them, "Well I got that." Ezra jesters over at the detonator and bang it blew up and the doors open. The three make their way out of the cell as the Inquisitor follows them.
~8~8~8~
"Spectre 5 to Spectre 1 come in," Sabine calls out, but all she got was static. "Thought so, they're jamming out signal, they know we're here." she tells the two, "Here in this lift or…" Zeb asks her.
"No, here period, in the prison," Leo tells him. "They lured us upstairs at the prison's weak point. We're excepted to exited the same why. So you can bet they're troopers waiting for us. We never make it out of the lift." Sabine tells them. "So what do we do?" Zeb asks her and she pulls out a detonator. "Well, time for a miracle."
~8~8~8~
The Inquisitor activates is another blade on his double lightsaber and charges at Kadan as they dueled, "Are you two playing attention?" he asks them, they look over at Kadan. "The Jedi are dead, but there is another path, the dark side." he tells them, "Never heard of it," Ezra said and then fires at him, as Mako took out a blaster and fires at him as well, the Inquisitor shoves them to the side and deflects the fire and force push them back.
The two flew back, Ezra hits the wall then the ground, but Mako flips and lands in a squat position, sliding back. "I see you were able to teach one of them. But sadly I have to kill her," he said, Kadan looks at them, then glares at the Inquisitor and charges at him.
~8~8~8~
The trooper ran to the lift and aim their blasters then the door opens and the troopers fires, "Hold your fire!" the leader orders and the cease their fire. The leader walks in and saw that only their men were in the lift. Oh, and a detonator.
The prison shook a bit as Zeb and Leo look up as they held their weapons drawn, "Well that's one lift off-line." Zeb states as Sabine ran back to them, "I disable the other two. There are other ways down, but it will take them a while, let's go." Sabine tells them and they took off.
~8~8~8~
Kadan duels with the Inquisitor and then jumps back, "Do you really think you can save the boy or the girl?" he questions, Kadan shot a look back at the two as Mako help Ezra to his feet. "For their sakes, surrender and I'll grant the girl a quick end." the Inquisitor promise him and Kadan glares at him, "I'm not making deals with you." Kadan snaps at him. "Hm, then let's let them decided." he tells him, then force pushes Kadan back, he flew over the two and lands on the ground, Ezra and Mako look at him, "Kadan!" Mako calls out to him, "Your master can not save you now." the Inquisitor tells them. They turn to him, "Nor can he save you from your fate." he tells Mako, she glares at him, "He is unfocused and undisciplined." he tells them, "Then we're perfect for each other." Ezra tells him.
Firing at him, as Mako did as well, but the Inquisitor deflects them and charges at them, but then dodge him and were now behind him. He chuckles and turns to them, "I do so admire your presidents." he tells them twirling his blade, "I am glad Kadan is our master, okay sure, he not disciplined or not the best Jedi in the galaxy, but I wouldn't trade him for anything in the universe." Mako snaps at him, the Inquisitor chuckles at her, "Loyal until the end, just like how they said you would be, ready to die, silver eyes?" she asks them, they ready themselves. Kadan then woke up and saw that the Inquisitor was facing the two. "NNNOOO!" he shouts pulling himself back up on his kneels.
The Inquisitor then shot forward charges ready to strike them, but Kadan shot his hand out, stopping the Inquisitor in his tracks, he looks over at his shoulder at him and then he was flung up at the ceiling, deactivating his saber. "Run!" he tells the two, they did so and ran over to Kadan as he drops his arm down and the Inquisitor falls onto his feet as he was very angry. The two help Kadan to his feet as the Inquisitor stood on his feet as well. He then turns to them, activates his saber and then makes it spin, as he walks to them, "Does yours do that?" Ezra asks him, "Come on, lets move." he tells and they ran for it as Kadan picks up his saber. "Guys, this way!" Sabine calls out and the three meet up with them and ran.
"Figured out it was a trap?" Kadan asks Sabine, "Yeah, Luminara?" she asks him, "Long gone, found our new escape exit?" he asks her, "The landing platform." she answers him and they make a right. "I thought it was impossible to get out that way?" he asks her, "Well let's hope the Empire thinks that too," Sabine tells them as the Inquisitor was walking behind them. "Secure the facility, full lock down." the Inquisitor orders as the doors started to close, "Well that's not helpful," Ezra complains as they jump through the closing doors. Then the Inquisitor started to charge at him, Sabine and Leo fire at him, but he deflects it. Zeb then saw the door to the platform was closing and so he stops it with his body, everyone jumps through.
"Can't do this all day," he tells them as Ezra jump through and so did Zeb as the Inquisitor was just right here. The door closes in front of him, making Zeb smirk, but the Inquisitor thrust his blade through the door and started to cut it, making him run for it and shoot the next door's panel with Bo-rifle, closing the door. They then ran up to the blast door's panel and tries to open it, "I've got it, I've-" she states, but was denied. "Oh, I'm lockout of the system. Ezra?" she asks, moving away, Ezra walks up to the panel and tries to pick it, but was shock instead. Throwing him to the ground, "Sorry." he tells her, but then Kadan pulls him to his feet, "Ezra, Mako. Together." he tells them as they walk in front of the door.
"Seriously?" Ezra questions, "Yes, picture the locking menicism in your mind." he tells him, and then raise his hand to the door, "Mako, relax and imagine you're lifting the crates back on the Ghost." he tells her, she nods and they close their eyes and raise their hands to the door, then the Inquisitor started to cut through the next door, making the three aim their guns. "Excuse me, but can we have a training lesson later?!" Zeb asks him, but then the three started to raise the door, the two open their eyes and were amazed, but then it was short lived as they ambush by troopers. "Two last miracles here!" Zeb states as he and Leo roll out their detonators and they blew up the troopers and six charges forward.
They fires back at Kadan deflects the blast, "Spectre 5 to Phantom we are on the landing platform ready for pick-up." Sabine informs Hera, "On my way, Spectre 5 and I'm bringing the fleet." Hera informs them, "We have a fleet?" Zeb asks as the Phantom can into view with the natives creature of the planet. Then the trooper fired at the creatures and they dive into them, knocking them out. Hera fires at a Tie-fighter and the six took off as the Inquisitor was done cutting through the door and it opens for him, he looks overseeing the rebel were escaping. Zeb fires at the torrent that was firing at Hera. She then lowers the phantom, Kadan then looks back behind Mako as the Inquisitor threw his saber at them, "Mako, duck!" he orders and she did so at the last moment and he deflects the saber. Then pulls Mako to her feet and they ran for it.
The Inquisitor uses the force and pulls the saber back to him as the troopers next to him, "Does your do that?" Zeb asks him as they were aboard the Phantom, he looks at him, then the door closes and they took off. They flew out inside place, "Master Luminara?" Hera asks him, "Gone, we'll have to find a way to spread the word." Kadan informs him, "Hows Ezra and Mako taking it?" she asks him, he looks back at them as they hung their heads. "Not as bad as I am." he states, looking back at her, "I guess they're stuck with me, for now," he tells her as the two shook their heads.
They arrive back on Lothal and then touches the ground, the ramp opens and then Ezra and Mako walks out, Ezra sat on the ramp as Mako sat on the side, leaning back, Ezra places his arms on his knees as Mako hung her leg on the side, pulls her other on close in and rested her arm on her knee. Then Kadan walks out to them making them angry with him, "Look, you don't of to say it, we're letting you off the hook." Ezra tells him, "What are you talking about?" he asks him, "We know you wanted to dump us on Luminara." Mako tells him, making him turn and looks at her as she looks away from him with her arms cross, "Look, just cause she's gone, you're not stuck with us." Ezra tells him and Kadan looks back at him, "I don't wanna… dump you two." he tells them, but then facepalms and sighs.
He then walks over and at sat down next to Ezra, "Look, I just wanted you both to have the best teacher." he tells them, then Mako stood up, walks over and smack him upside the head. "Hey!" he shouts at her, as she sat down next to him, "We don't want the best teacher in the whole galaxy, we want you to be our teacher!" she tells him, making him look at her in surprise and then looks away in embarrassment. "Ezra, Mako. I'm not going to try and teach you anymore." he tells them, making the two sad, "If all I do and try then I'll never truly believe I can do it. So from now on I will teach you." he said making them shoot a look at him, "I may fail and you both may fail, but there is no try." he tells them and they both look at each other and at him, "We understand." Ezra tells him, he looks at him, "Master." Mako finishes and he looks at her as she crosses her legs.
He smirks at her and pats her head, then handed his saber to Ezra, "Let see if you do." he said as Ezra went first, she watches them practice, but then looks ahead, seeing Jedi Master Luminara as she was before the order 66, she smiles at Mako and bows her head at her, Mako smiles back at her and bows her head as well. Luminara then turns away from her and started to walk into the field as she disappears into thin air.
