Chapter 12: A Vision of Hope

The Ghost was back on Lothal as it was sunny out, Ezra and Mako were training with their lightsabers as Zeb, Sabine, Chopper and Leo were firing at them. Kadan was watching them as Leto was watching from Kadan's shoulder. "You both got the blocking down for the most part, but you shouldn't just randomly deflect the energy which way. You've yet to hit the target I gave you." Kadan informs them, "Yet. The key word is yet." Ezra informs him as Mako dodges the incoming blast. Kadan groans as he face-palms then wave his arms as he gets everyone to cease firing, "You're distracted, impatience. What's your rush?" Kadan asks Ezra

Ezra opens his visor as Mako lowers her golden saber. "I don't want to miss senator's Trayvis transmission," Ezra answers him, as Mako places her hand on her hip. "You don't even know if he'll transmit today." Kadan informs him, "He's been on more frequency lately and I have a feeling. Today's the day." Ezra informs him, "I don't know Ezra, can we really trust the senator Trayvis?" Mako asks him and he looks at her, "What are you talking about Mako, we can trust him." he informs her, but she looks away with her doubt. "Wow and I get a feeling that you're going to get stunned, you don't stay in the moment, this moment," Kadan informs them both. Ezra sighs and ignites his saber then closes his visor as Mako raise her saber back up and the four started to fire at them, the two deflected the blasts but didn't hit the helmet yet.

"You there!" someone calls out, that sounded like a trooper, this catches Mako's attention as Ezra opens his visor, but the kept deflecting the blast, "Senator, you're in terrible danger." Hera warns Trayvis, "Put your saber down boy. Now!" Trayvis orders Ezra, "The Empire knows you're here. Stay close Senator." Hera orders,"You want me to go in there?" Trayvis questions and Mako's eyes roll in the back of her head.

Mako saw herself in and alleyway as she was running from troopers. Then again as she was running from Kallus as he and his men chase her and the others, then the door to the sewers opens up and Zeb lowers Trayvis onto the ladder, then Hera followed him down until the reach a dead end. Then Troopers cornered them. "Why?" Mako asks as she cries as she was on the ground. "You're parents were fools, insufficient girl! They should of join the Empire!" Trayvis answers her as he aims the gun at her.

Mako gasps awake and shot out of Leo's arms as she was sitting up and Leto rolls onto her lap. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey. You're okay." Leo assures her as she looks around, finding herself back at the outskirts of Lothal. Ezra was sitting up as well, "Did I get stunned?" she asks him, rubbing the back of his head, but Leo shook his head, "You actually disarm all of us, including Kadan." he informs her, she looks at him and then feels guilty. "Oh, sorry." she tells them, "No worries, those were some pretty cool moves you pulled," Zeb informs her as he was impressed, she smiles at him a little. "Mako, did you see something too?" Ezra asks her. She looks at him and nods, "Saw? You both had visions?" Kadan asks them, "I saw Gall Trayvis. Kadan, he knew my parents." Ezra informs him.

Then Leo helps Mako to her feet, Leto climbs to her shoulder and Kadan did the same with Ezra, "It felt so real, you were there. And you were there, sneaking around in the dark." Ezra states as Zeb and Leo looks at Sabine. "Troopers were everywhere." he went on, "Sounds like a pretty average day," she states and Leo rubs the back of his head. "Yeah, pretty much." he agrees with her. "Except senator Trayvis was there, fighting side by side with us. And he said he knew my parents." Ezra informs them as he walks out a bit. "Right, look, Ezra, just because you want something to happen, doesn't mean it will," Kadan informs him. "But it might." Ezra said, turning back to him, Mako looks at him, "Then you're not what I'm going to say." she states and they all look at her, "Travyis is working for the Empire." she informs them and they were taken back. "What, there is now way he's working for the Empire." Ezra informs her, she just looks away, "Mako are you okay?" Leo asks her, "I'm fine." she answers and started to walk away, then shot her hand out behind her, making her saber fly into it and walks back on the Ghost.

Then Zeb smacks his hand upside Ezra's head. "Ow! What are you doing?" he exclaims, Zeb just chuckles as Chopper and Kadan walk pass them. "Helping you to horn your Jedi powers. Why didn't you that coming?" Zeb questions him, "Doesn't work that way." Ezra informs him, but then Sabine and Leo wham their fists into his shoulders. "Ow! Stop!" he snaps at them, "Maybe if we keep trying." Sabine states, "You'll see it coming." he finishes for her. "Ezra hurry, he's on!" Hera calls out, Ezra smiles and ran pass the others and hurried onto the Ghost.

Ezra enters the commons as Hera and Mako were already there, "I started recording before he came on, I'll play it back the entire message." Hera informs him. "The insurgents terrorizing our world will some be brought to justice. I have assurances-" the minister started but was cut off as the others entered the commons as well. "Citizens, this is Senator in exile Gall Trayvis here." Gall said as he interrupted the Minster, "Right on time." Ezra states, Hera shush. "Coming to you with a reminder that the Empire apples the term Insurgents to anyone who dares defy their tyranny, such as some very courageous souls on Lothal," Trayvis informs them as Mako just stares at the image of Trayvis. "He's talking about us. He said Lothal." Ezra throws in, "I know, here it come." Hera tells him and Ezra quiets down again.

"To those rebels, I have a message. The sun may have sent on the old Republic, but the new freedom can be won if we are brave enough to fight for it today, see you soon my friends." Trayvis states and the transmission ends. Then Hera turns of the holonet, "He's coming here to meet us." she states and Zeb looks at her, "Um… how do you know that?" he asks her. "My contact Fulcrum says that the Senator hides coded messages in transmissions when Trayvis mentions a world, it's always the next one he's visited," Hera informs him. "How come the Empire hasn't caught him?" Kadan asks her, "Trayvis is too smart, you know he pirates the Empire's own signal, just like mine and Mako's folks use to." Ezra throws in. "And the clues he puts in his messages on where to meet him are obvious to the locals but go right over the Empire's head." Hera went on. "But Zeb's local and it went right over his head." Leo throws about and Zeb growls at him. "Watch," she informs him and turns the transmission back on.

"The sun may have sent on the old Republic, but the new freedom can be won." Hera replays the last bit and turns it back off, "He's at the Old Republic and a Freedom." she informs them. "We'll everyone know the knows the New Freedom Yule, it's painted on the wall… inside the old Republic Senate building." Ezra states as the realization hit him, then Sabine pulls up a blueprint of the senate building. "Hm, it's been abandon since they build the Imperial complex, good place for a friendly get together," Sabine informs them as Leo looks at Mako as she was swimming in confusion and doubt. Then the holo blueprints were turn off, "Yeah, but when this meeting?" Zeb asks them. "Uh, he works sunset into his message, it's pretty obvious," Ezra informs him.

"Yeah, too obvious. We should have some insurance, in case the Imperial is more clever than we think." Kadan states as he took precautions, then Hera looks at the two. "You both have a friend inside the Imperial complex, right? So find out for sure." Hera informs them. "We'll meet you at our… parents' house at 1700." Ezra informs him as he and Mako took off. "Ezra, Mako." he states, getting them to stop and look at him, "About your visions, don't be too quick to-" Kadan tries to warn them, "To take it too Literally? Kadan, I know it's right. You're always telling us to trust our feelings, well I've never felt strong about anything in my life." Ezra informs him, then he and Mako walk off. Kadan then turns back as Sabine, Chopper, and Zeb walk off, but Hera and Leo remain, Hera looks between the two. "Visions?" she asks them and Leo looks away, remember that look of doubt in Mako's eyes.

~8~8~8~

Later in the dead of night, trooper were patrolling and a cadet was as well, he walks pass troopers and the turns into an alley. "Zare." Ezra calls out, making Zare jump a little but then chuckles as his visor, "You're a stealthy one, Dav." Zare informs him as Ezra and Mako were standing in front of him, "That's me, stealthy Dav Morgan." Ezra chuckles a little. "Hey there Amelia, how you been?" Zare said to her and she pulls off her shawl hood smiles at him, "I've been better, I've been worse." she answers him and leans against the crates, "Hey, thanks for meeting us at the last minute, cadet." Ezra teases him, "By the way, how did you get pass the gate?" Ezra asks him. "I've been promoted, got a class three clearance now." Zare said proudly, "Um, congratulations." Ezra teases him again.

"To the three of us, new clear ago and courier duties give me greater access to intel you can use." Zare informs him, and Mako looks at Ezra, "He's got a point." she informs him, but then Troopers pass by then Mako quickly pulls off her shawl hood and she and Ezra hid behind the crates, then they were out of sight, "Unless I'm caught and which case-" Zare informs him, "Yeah, yeah. Let's not get you shot, what do you have." Ezra asks him, then Zare leans in closer. "Agent Kallus and ever section Commander have been in secret tactical meetings, he's gathering troops for a massive operation." Zare informs him, "Any idea what for?" Ezra asks him as Mako kept peeking from behind the crates. "Something to do with the old senate building, but it might just be a drill, I'm not sure," Zare informs them then Ezra sighs and stood up. "It's no drill, we need to warn the others," he states as he and Mako went to leave, but Zare reaches out to them. "One more thing," he states and the two look back at him. "I'm being transfused, off world to the office academy of Arkansas," he informs him, then Mako sighs and looks at Ezra, he looks at her and nods.

She then looks back at Zare, "There's something you need to know." Ezra states and Zare chuckles a little, "Don't tell me you and Amelia are going to miss me, Dav." Zare jokes with him. "What? No, I mean sure but… looks that's not it." Ezra tells him "My name is not Amelia Fay. He's name's not Dav Morgan." she informs him and he was surprised. "That's not your real names?" he asks her and she shook her head, "My name is Mako Firebreather and this is-" she went to say Ezra's name. "You there!" a trooper calls out, the two rebels turns and saw that they were cornered by troopers. "Oh no, my vision!" Ezra exclaims, Mako then looks at Ezra and they both turn to Zare, "No time to explain!" Ezra informs him and he closes his visor and they both ran pass Zare, Ezra bumps into Zare's knocking him down and the two troopers followed them, Zare pulls himself to his feet and the trooper stood in front of him, "Cadet, are you alright?" he asks Zare, "Yes sir, I caught those rift rats selling illegal good." Zare informs him, "We'll get them." the trooper informs him and took off, then Zare closes his visor and follows him.

Ezra and Mako ran down the alley and then Mako pulls him into a smaller alley, "Ezra, stay here and wait for them to pass, when they do, run back to the rendezvous." Mako informs him and steps out, "Over here!" a trooper calls out, Mako turns and saw them charging at her and she took off running. The troopers followed after her, Ezra watches then chases her and then once it was clear, he steps out and took off in the other direction.

Mako pants as she ran down the alley, dodging the blasters, then makes a hard left, but then came to a dead end, she then quickly started to look around for a way out. "Through here!" the trooper calls out, Mako turns with a gasp. But as they arrived at the dead end, there was no one there, Mako was gone from sight, Zare smirks to himself, grateful that she got away. "We were tracking an Insurgent, but the search was inconclusive." the trooper informs base as he, Zare and the other walk off, Mako watches from the roof and quickly retreats to the rendezvous.

~8~8~8~

Ezra and Mako arrive back at the house, she looks around, seeing that they were cleared then Ezra uses the key card, making the doors open and they both walk inside. Ezra removes his helmet as Mako pulls off her shawl. But then they saw Chopper roll up to them grumbling. "Yeah, we know Chopper, we know." Mako informs him as she places the shawl down, "Where is everyone?" Ezra asks him and points at the hole to the hidden room, Ezra sets his helmet down next to Mako's shawl and they walk over and bend closer in.

"It's pretty old, they said their parents used it to broadcast them," Sabine informs the others, then Zeb sighs. "I don't get it. They weren't soldiers, they were civilians, so why'd they risk it all?" he questions, "But you forget Zeb, we know that Mako's father was a Master Jedi, but I'm still trying to figure out who Mako's mother was." Leo informs him. "They had hope, that they can for the galaxy to make it a better place for their son and daughter," Hera informs him as Ezra and Mako walk down into the room, then Sabine clears her throat, making Hera turns and look at the two. "Cutting it a little close, I know you don't want to miss Travyis's meeting," Sabine tells Ezra. "Neither does the Empire," Ezra informs her.

Then Mako looks at Kadan, "You were right, Kadan. They know where the meeting is." she tells him, "Kallus as an operation plan, probably to capture Trayvis or worse." Ezra tells him, "Imperials will have numbers." Zeb tells them as Leo cross his arms, "We'll have a surprise." Kadan states a Leto looks at him and tilts his head at him. "What gives you that idea?" Sabine asks him and Kadan smirks. "I'm being optimist," he informs her and Mako crosses her arms. "What if Trayvis is the one who told Kallus about the meeting?" she questions and they look at her. "What if he wants us to think he is one our side, but really on theirs?" she questions. "Mako, relax, Trayvis is one our side, after all the transmissions he gave us, there's no reason to doubt him. But why do you?" he asks her. She looks at him, -"Why?" Mako asks as she cries as she was on the ground. "You're parents were fools, insufficient girl! They should of join the Empire!" Trayvis answers her as he aims the gun at her.-

She then looks away, "Reasons." she answers then left the room, Kadan looks at Hera, all wondering what was bothering her.

~8~8~8~

Later the next day, the Rebels were hiding behind a railing, Sabine lowers her antenna and gets a good look at the shuttle. "There's a dedicatory shuttle and two protocol droids on the platform. Trayvis must already be inside." Sabine states and then moves her antenna back up and looks at Kadan. "Not seeing any Imperial forces," she informs and, but he just smiles. "Well, they got to be around." Kadan states and then pulls out his binoculars, then looks around the area, then he looks down and saw one step out. "Yeah, I found them," he states and looks in the area, seeing more. "Looks like they have the whole area lock down," Kadan states and pulls his binoculars away and turns to everyone. "We got to get Trayvis out of their before the Empire moves in," Ezra informs him.

"Wait, why haven't they moved in?" Hera asks and Kadan exhales a little. "They want us to. It's a trap." Kadan answers her and Sabine pull off her helmet as Leo pulls off his hood. "So, we don't want into it for once. We don't know if your precious is in there." Zeb informs Ezra. -Oh, he's in there alright. Playing the bait for us to catch.- Mako tells herself. "Yes, we do. I saw it!" Ezra reports believing in then his instincts. "If we can get up there without being seen." Kadan reminds him and a light bulb went off in Mako's head. "I know of a way." she calls out and they look at her, "Ezra and I survived against the Empire for 8 years. Follow me." she states squat walks, the rest followed her, Kadan shot a look at Hera who mirrored his look and they too followed.

~8~8~8~

An Imperial droid pratol around the entrance of the sewers, then Chopper rolls up to him. The droid stops him, but Chopper grumbles at him and shocks the droid making him go offline, then Chopper rolls over to the controls, hacks in and the door to the sewers over. The Rebels ran to the entrance, but stop as they watch Chopper shove the in the sewers and the grumpy droid watches as he falls into the pipes.

Chopper chips victoriously and Mako face palms, Zeb was learning over the entrance and sniffs it. "Ugh, it's a sewer pipe," he states as Mako, Hera, and Ezra looks over as well. "Yes, it is." Ezra agrees with him. "And we can pretty much grantee that we won't run into storm troopers down there." he went on and Zeb rolls his eyes and then Mako enters the in the sewers first, Ezra followed, then Hera, Zeb, then Leo. "Terrific," Sabine states as she too followed and then Kadan.

"Okay, Chop stay here, just in case we need a backup-" Kadan warns him, but then Chopper closes the door. "Hey!" Kadan exclaims and quickly ducks into the sewers, then Chopper turns to the closed entrance and grumbles at it.

~8~8~8~

Everyone followed Mako through the sewers. "Use to be too much water to walk down here, but since the Empire started rationing, pretty dry." Ezra informs them as Zeb was not liking the smell. "Well it hasn't helped the smell," he states, Leo chuckles as he kept his hand over his nose. "Speaking of which, it does smell like you." Sabine states and the two look at her. "Hm?" Zeb asks. "I was talking to Ezra." she informs than and Ezra looks at her, "Wait, you know what I smell like?" he asks her, "All I know, Mako smell's nothing like this." Leo states and Mako looks over her shoulder at him.

"What do you mean?" she asks him. He rubs the back of his neck "Well… You smell… sweet." he answers her. Zeb looks at him, then walks up to Mako and sniffs her, "What are you doing?" she asks him, "Now that you mention it, Leo. She does smell sweet. Like peaches." he states, Mako blushes and looks away, then Leo sniffs her hair. "Yeah, you're right. She does smell like peaches," he states, Mako growls at the two of them and pulls her hair onto her shoulder and pets her hair, then Leto squawks at them with anger and got the two to back off. "Can we focus, please?" Kadan asks them, Mako shook her head as they arrive at the ladder then started to climb up it.

Everyone then pops their heads out as the exit opens and look out at the shuttle that was guarded by the two droids. "What do you think?" Ezra asks Kadan, who then groans. "Better safe than sorry." Kadan states then held out his hand to the shuttle and it makes a noise that drew the Droids' attention. "What was that?" One droid asks, "My sensors indicate it came from the ship, better investigate." the other answers and they both walks over to the shuttle. Giving the Rebel a chance to quickly run to the building. But Kadan stops the three. "Hold on, you three, up top," he orders. "Need a lift?" Zeb asks Sabine and he booted her up. Leo jumps onto Zeb's back, wrapping his arms around his neck and Zeb climbs up after Sabine.

Then Hera, Mako, Ezra and Kadan ran into the room, where the senator was waiting with both of his other droids. "Hello? Who's there?" Gall calls out to them, "Senator Trayvis, we're friends." Ezra spoke up first. "Welcome! I was beginning to think no one on Lothal got my message." Gall tells them, but Mako narrows her eyes at him. "Senator, you're in terrible danger. The Empire knows you're here." Hera warns him as Ezra nods at him. "That's impossible." Gall states, but then Kadan moves out of the way as a blast was shot and it hits one droid, then another blast was shot, hitting the other droid. The Rebel turns and saw Agent Kallus walk in with his Troopers. Kadan, Ezra, and Mako ignite their sabers and all five stood back to back, Leto crawls back into the satchel and peers out. Then more Trooper ran out and they were surrounded.

Then Kallus slowly walks to them, "Kadan Jarrus. Jedi knight. Padawans, Jubba and Palatine. And what have we here?" he states as the minister walks in. "A twe'lek I have yet to meet. From your regalia, I expect you must be our talented pilot." he states. Hera just glares at him, "Where is the Lasat, the smuggler and the Mandalorian girl?" the Minster questions, "If you won't talk my troopers will become a firing squad." Kallus warns them. "You better do as he says," Gall informs him and Mako shot him a glare. "Don't worry Senator, Our friends will be along," Ezra informs him with a wink. And from above them, Zeb, Leo, and Sabine were on the beams, Sabine tosses a detonator to Leo, he caught in his hand as he pulls on his goggles and she tosses another into in Zeb, which he caught as well, then Sabine pulls out two more in her hands.

They ignite them, Zeb smirks at them and they toss them to the ground and smoke fills the room. The troopers, agent Kallus and the minster cough as the smoke came out of nowhere. Then Zeb jumps down activating his Bo-rifle and attacks the troopers, Leo and Sabine fired at them from above. Hera also fires as she protected Gall. "Stay close senator," Hera informs him as the troopers fired back. "We gotta get Trayvis out of here!" Kadan orders Ezra and Mako. "Follow us!" Ezra tells him and the took off, Zeb followed as did Sabine and Leo from above. The two kept firing at the trooper, getting them out of the way, then they jump down and Leo follows them, but Sabine pulls out another detonator and rolls it on the ground after she ignites it. She then ran out of the room and slides on her feet.

Then Zeb grips a hold of her hand and pulls her in as the detonator went off. Zeb then lets her go and laughs as she pulls her antenna back up. They then ran back outside and saw that Senator Gall Trayvis shuttle was gone. "I was really hoping that Shuttle still is here," Hera states as an Imperial ship appear. "And that's not the ride we're looking for." Kadan states and Hera fires at it as they ran to the entrance of the sewers. Sabine presses a button on her arm console and the doors open. "You want me to go down there?" Gall asks them, "It's not so bad once you get used to the smell." Ezra informs him, but Zeb chuckles. "You'll never get used to the smell," he states and then they were fired at. Zeb turns and saw Agent Kallus with two troopers. Kadan, Ezra and Mako ignites their sabers, "Go!" Kadan orders as he and the other two deflect the blast. Zeb grips a hold of Gall and lowered him onto the ladder, Hera after followed, then Leo, Sabine, and Zeb.

The three deflected the incoming blast, then Ezra jumps down, Mako followed and then so did Kadan. Then Sabine presses the button again on her counsel and the doors close. Kallus looks at the doors as the two troopers ran to him, "Get this open! And I want Troopers and every exit in the lower city." he orders them.

They then make a run for it, but Gall stops as he was panting, Hera and Mako stop and look at him. "I'm com… I'm coming." he tells them in a low voice. "Ezra… wait up!" Hera said in a low tone. The others then stop, "Sorry Senator, we just really want to get out of here as fast as we can." Ezra tells him, walking back to him and Gall limps to him. "I am the one who should apologize, my young friend. I've been pursued, but never in a place such as this." he tells them as he pants, Mako crosses her arms as she wasn't buying any of it. "I figured you'd be use to running from the Empire." Kadan states, Mako looks away. -That's because he's not. He's the Empire's lap dog.- she tells herself, "Well I… I um… I've never come close to capture before." Gall informs them and Troopers appeared from the end of the tunnel behind Gall. The rebels and senator ran and split in into different tunnels, Hera, Mako, Ezra and Gall were in one tunnel as Kadan, Sabine, Leo and Zeb were in the other, opposite of each other. "We'll draw them away! Get Spectre 2 and Trayvis to the hatch!" Kadan orders and fires back at them, "Wait, how will you find us?" Ezra asks them. "I can smell you, remember?" Sabine reminds him, "As I can smell Spectre 8." Leo states, Mako looks at him, "Think of something clever to say next time." Hera tells them and they took off.

~8~8~8~

Chopper pratols at the entrance and then two troopers, he stops in his tracks and looks at them, the one trooper kneels down in front of Chopper.

"Unit number… C1… 10… P. Is this one of ours? I can barely read it's operating number." he states as the other fuses the door closed. Chopper turns to him and snaps at him. "This one's seal shut." the trooper states and they both stood up.

"The Insurgents are loose in the sewers. Sound the alarms if you see any Rebel activity." the trooper informs Chopper and they both turn from him, "Onto the next one." he states and they left. Chopper lets out a frustrated chip, then pops out his saw, turns to the entrance and started to saw through the fused metal.

~8~8~8~

Kadan and Sabine stop at the four-way, "Spectre 5, do you exactly know where we're going?" Kadan asks her, "Of course I do… sorta." Sabine states and he looks at her as she uses her counsel. Then points to the tunnel on their right. Then came incoming fire.

The two ran into the tunnel, Leo and Zeb fired back at the trooper but then Leo slides a little and ran into the right tunnel. "Zeb!" Leo calls out to the Lasebt and Zeb quickly followed.

~8~8~8~

Ezra, Mako, Gall Trayvis and Hera walk through the tunnel "You're so well organized. To invade the Empire as you have, you must have quite a support system, good funding, powerful ally." Gall states and Mako glares at him. "No this is it, we're all there is." Ezra informs him, "You can't be serious." Gall said as he was surprised, Hera caught onto that. "I'd hope we can learn from you, Senator. Your transmission already helps keep us going." Ezra informs him. "Just to know someone else is out there, meant a lot." Hera states as they cam to a big fan that was blocking their way out.

"Come on!" Ezra states, then he, Hera and Mako jump down, the Senator screams as he fell down, Hera and Ezra help him up. "Ho are we getting pass this thing?" Hera asks as Gall dust himself off. "We can try to cut its power." Ezra suggests and Hera offers him to do so, she then turns to the Senator and offers his blaster to him, "Watch out backs, will ya." she tells him. He nods and took the gun from her, then Hera walks to Ezra then Gall looks at Mako, seeing that she was watching the two. But then she lets out a gasp as she was pulled to him, making Hera and Ezra look at them, "That's enough. We're not going anywhere." Gall orders as he held a struggling Mako hostage. "Wow, Senator? What are you doing?" Ezra asks as Hera looks at him, not surprise at all. "But your saber down, boy. Now!" he orders as he points the blaster at Mako.

Ezra did as he was told. "You're… you're with the Empire?" Ezra questions, "Told ya so." Mako states gripping Gall's arm, "All your transmission. Those planets you visited. How did word not get out about you?" Hera questions "Told ya so." Mako states, "Because no one ever knew, not even my own droids. Insurgents are not arrested, they're identified and watch. The troublesome ones have… accidents." Gall informs them. Mako growls, then Leto jumps out of Mako's satchel then bites Trayvis's arm, making him grunt in pain, then Mako breaks away. Hera held her arms open as Leto jumps off Gall and the Senator reaches, but only grabs a hold of Mako's scurry, making her hair fall down on her shoulders as she crashes into Hera's arms. The senator looks at the object in his hand and threw at the ground with a grunt and points the blaster at them, Leto coos and took a hold of it in his mouth and hurry back into Mako's satchel.

Hera the pulls behind her as Mako pants. "But you're not a traitor, you're a voice of freedom, a light in the darkness, just like my parents and Mako's parents." Ezra states as he declines that Trayvis was a liar the whole time. "Parents? No one has spoken out against the Empire on Lothal since… Bridgers and Firebreathers transmissions. I remember them, the original voices of freedom, you're their son and daughter." Gall states as everything made since to him, "Why? Why?!" Ezra shouts as he was shock. "I joined the Empire, like your parents should have for their lives. For you. Your parents were very brave and very foolish, where are they now, I'll tell you my boy, they're gone!" Trayvis states, shocking Ezra more. "That's enough!" Mako shouts, making Trayvis look at her. "And you, Daughter of the Firebreathers, you're parents were too very brave, but they won't not give you to the Sith in exchange for their lives. Your father was suspense of me, I underestimated his connection to the force, he confronted me, calling me a liar and a coward and threaten to expose me, so I inform of the Sith where you and your parents lived." he states, shocking Mako as well, she stood there.

"I had to move them out of the way to continue my mission." he states and Mako fell to her knees, and tears were in her eyes and stream down her cheeks, "But the Sith failed in finding you, your parents hid you well and taught you well." he states and she looks at the ground, "Why?" Mako asks as she cries as she was on the ground. "You're parents were fools, insufficient girl! They should of join the Empire!" Trayvis answers her as he aim the gun at her, she looks at him. "And now they're gone!" he snaps, his trigger finger hesitated. "They're not gone, Trayvis." Hera states and Gall points the gun at her and she walks to him, "Stop right there." he orders her back she kept stepping, making him back up. "As long as we fight, all that they spoke out for lives on." she informs him, "I said stop." he orders her and she was an inch away from the gun. He then pulls the trigger, but nothing happened, "What?" he questions as he kept trying. "No!" he exclaims, but Hera took her blaster back and socks him in the back, knocking him out cold. "Only a true rebel would know if he's holding a charge blaster." she states and took it off safely.

Ezra walks up to her as Mako was still sitting on the ground, hanging her head as her hair covered her eyes. "You knew," Ezra said to Hera. "He tried to get us to surrender, he wasn't tired when he stop he was waiting for Kallus to caught up and he wanted our secrets. I didn't want to believe it," she tells him and places her hand on Ezra's shoulder and he looks up at her. Then Hera looks up at the tunnels and saw the others caught, they then jump down and ran up to them, "What happened to the Senator?" Zeb asks as Leo slides down next to Mako. "He was working for the Empire." Hera answers and Sabine groans. "Is there anybody on our side?" she questions. "So I guess he stays here then. What's our plan?" he asks Hera "Hey Mako, you alright?" he asks her, Mako rubs her eyes and stood up, "I'm fine Leo, just… shook up at the moment." she answers him as he too stood up. "We were going to stop the fan to get through," Hera informs Kadan.

"Okay, but what's going to stop our friends from following?" Sabine questions Hera. "We only stop it long enough for us to get pass it." Kadan informs them and Mako stood in front of the fan, "Okay, I'll focus on the fan, you focus on the Troopers heading out the way. Cover me." Mako informs them and raise her hands at the fan and the others turn to the tunnels blasters and lightsabers were out, Mako focuses on the blades of the fan and it starts to slow down a little and they saw the Troopers. "Incoming!" Ezra calls out and the Troopers fired at the Rebel as Kadan and Ezra were deflecting the blast. Then the blade stop, "Move it Rebels." Hera orders them, "Blast the red-head!" Kallus orders as Kadan was protecting her, "Ezra lets go!" Kadan shouts then he and the two ran into the tunnel on the other side of the fan.

Trayvis started to come to, then sat up, his hand over his eye and he looks at Ezra and Mako as they stop and look at him. He looks at them as Ezra held anger in his eyes then ran off. "My father was right about you, but I won't be angry for being what you are, Trayvis," she states and he looks at her with regret. "I forgive you," she states then ran off as well.

Trayvis stood up and looks at Kallus as the agent looks at him with disappointment in his eyes and agent left the Senator.

Chopper works on getting the door open, but then a saber came into view, making Chopper dodge it in the nic of time. Then the door opens and Kadan pops his head up and sees Chopper grumble at him as the Rebel pull themselves out of the sewers. "Hey, you're supposed to be glad to see us," Kadan informs him and they ran for it.

Night had fallen as the rebels return back to the Ghost. Ezra and Mako stop on the ramp and sighs as Kadan and Hera walk up to them. "I didn't see it, I was so wrong." Ezra states as he blames himself. "We all thought he was a good person." Hera informs the Ezra looks at Kadan, "You always say I should trust the force, I thought that was I was doing." he states and Kadan turns from him, "You're emotions clouded the vision, it takes-." Kadan starts, "Training and discipline?" Mako asks him and he turns to her. "To see this clearly, yes. Visions are difficult, impossible to interpret." Kadan informs them, "What was the last vision you had?" Ezra asks him and Kadan smiles to himself a little.

"I saw these two bratty kids that cause me trouble." he answers as Mako walks up to the ladder and Ezra chuckles a little and rubs the back of his neck. "I guess you read that one wrong." he states and Kadan smiles down at him. "Yeah, I guess so." he states and Hera looks at Mako, "Mako, if you ever want to talk about what happened with Trayvis and your parents." Hera starts and Mako looks at her and shook her head, "No, I'm not worry about that right now. I'm tired and want to lay down right now." Mako informs her in a soft tone, with no hit of anger and sadness and Hera nods at her, "Alright, sleep well." she tells her, Mako nods her head and climbs up the ladder. Kadan followed after her and then Hera turns and leans against the wall and looks up at the stars, "You know, I wanted to believe in Trayvis as much as you did." she states and walks down the ramp. "Yeah, what's wrong with us?" Ezra questions as he and Hera sat down.

"We have hope. Hope that things can get better. And they will." Hera promises him and they both look up at the stars.

Mako laid in her bunk and petted Leto's head as he was sleeping, then the door slides open and then Leo steps in. "Hey Mako," he calls out, she said nothing. He knew that she was still upset. He then walks over to her and kneels down next to her, "Hey, I don't what Trayvis said to you, but I know you're hurting." he tells her, she still said nothing. "You know, when I lost my parents, I was angry with everything, I kept thinking Zeb and his people were to blame for years, but I came to facts that he wasn't to blame nor his people. And even after everything I did and said to him, he still watches over me, like if I was his little brother," he states and Mako stop petting Leto.

Leo looks at her, "Don't blame yourself for what happened to your parents because it's going to hurt so much, that you'll hate yourself later." he warns her. She looks at him and he saw a tear slide down her cheek, "Here, move over a little." he tells her, she leans forward and he sat behind her and wraps his arms around her shoulders and she leans against him "You won't be alone anymore, you got us now and we will never leave you alone." he promises her, Mako slowly pulls her hand up and places it on his arm and smiles a little then closes her eyes as one more tear slides down her cheek.
