Now we get another chapter of Kanan and the Ghost crew (we did only get one technically). I hope you guys enjoy.
"I knew we should have went for him the moment he told me where he was." Kanan sighed with guilt.
He had just explained the predicament that Ezra was now in, and everyone was concerned to say the least. Even Chopper seemed to have some form of worry behind his usually cold demeanor. The killing, which Hera states was out of self-defense, the emotional trauma that Ezra was drowning in, and the fact that Maul had ripped Ezra away from him were all topics that had such terrible undertones to them.
"It's okay Kanan." Hera tried to reassure. "It's not your fault that this happened, nor is it Ezra's. Telling us to wait was what he thought was the best thing at that moment. Can you blame him? He didn't know this would happen."
"Hera, did you hear me? He killed a man, regardless whether it was out of self-defense or murder, it ruined him. If we had gone through the original plan, he wouldn't be in this predicament, and who knows what Maul's doing to him now that Ezra was caught."
Kanan let out a cry of pain. His hand grabbed his chest, as he fell to his knees. Sabine and Zeb were shocked, as Hera ran to Kanan's side to help support him. Concern was plastered all over her face. They all watch as Kanan got back most of his composure.
"What's wrong Kanan?" Hera questioned, a hand claiming a spot on his shoulder.
"He's trying to sever our bond." Kanan groaned, before letting out another hiss of pain.
"What?" Hera gasped, helping Kanan get back on his feet.
"Maul said, well more like threatened, to sever bond. I guess he's going through with that promise, and telling by the pain I just experienced, I'd say he's getting close."
Sabine and Zeb looked at themselves surpried and then back to Kanan, while Hera gasped in horror.
"Can he do that Kanan?" Zeb questioned.
"Well Zeb, when the bond between master and padawan is strong, like mine and Ezra's has been, it would be very difficult to break, almost impossible. However, it is possible. And considering Ezra's current emotional state, Maul's definitely progressing faster than he should be. That is why we need to act now."
"Well, we know he's on Mustafar. That's something." Hera stated, trying to be optimistic.
"Last I checked, none of us know the planet's layout, unless one of you have toured the planet without me knowing."
The five residing members of the Ghost tried to brainstorm a few ideas, trying to think of ways they could pinpoint the location of Ezra and his captor on the red planet. The snapping of Sabine's fingers got everyone's attention, causing a slightly confused response.
"I've got it." Sabine declared with pride.
"What?" Kanan asked, with hope in his voice.
"I may not have been on Mustafar myself, but I think I know someone who is at least aware of the planets terrain and its landmarks. She has to know where we can find Ezra and Maul, especially when you consider that there are bound to be a few places that they could hide without the Empire's knowledge."
"Who is this mysterious source of yours Sabine?"
"Ketsu."
Yes Ketsu will be in here as of Chapter 13. She'll only have a minor role, but it's important. And I'm trying to give some of the other Ghost crew members some spotlight. I'll let you know that Sabine will be getting a somewhat bigger role later on in the story.
