A Star Destroyer known as the Sovereign was hovering over Capital City on Lothal near the Imperial Complex as an Imperial shuttle and two TIE fighters flew out of the Star Destroyer as they headed for the Imperial complex and landed in the Imperial complex's hangar where hundreds of stormtroopers, Combat drivers and TIE fighter pilots stood in lines as the Inquisitor, Minister Tua and Agent Kallus who had his ISB helmet under his arm as they walked towards the shuttle and stopped as its ramp lowered down to reveal two stormtrooper commanders holding two DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle as they escorted an elderly thin man with white hair, light skin, greyish-blue eyes, wearing an Imperial uniform walked down the ramp with two Death Troopers walking behind them with both the stormtrooper commanders and Death Troopers standing next to the shuttle as the man walked towards Minister Tua, Agent Kallus and the Inquisitor.
"Ah, Grand Moff Tarkin. I am honored by your visit to Lothal," Tua said as she greeted Tarkin.
"My visit is hardly an honor, Minister," Tarkin told her.
"I admit I was surprised to learn you were coming," she told him as he walked ahead of them.
"And I, too, have been surprised by what's been happening on your little backwater world," Tarkin told her as he stopped walking.
"If you are referring to the insurgents, I…" Tua began as she chuckled nervously.
"In the absence of Governor Pryce, you have had a single, simple objective, Minister, to protect the Empire's industrial interests here. Interests which are vital to our expansion throughout the Outer Rim. But instead of protecting those interests, you have allowed a cell of insurgents to flourish right under your nose. Am I correct?" Tarkin said as he scolded her, causing her to clear her throat with surprise before he turned to Kallus, "And, Agent Kallus, have you just stood idly by while this rabble have attacked our men, destroyed our property and disrupted our trade?"
"I have exhausted every resource to capture them, sir," Kallus assured him, "This group has proven quite elusive."
"It's said their leader is a Jedi with a teenage girl as their Padawan," Tua added.
"The Padawan calls herself Satine Kryze," Kallus told Tarkin.
"Ah, yes. Let us not forget the sudden appearance of a Jedi and a Padawan who appears to be a Mandalorian by their name, as if leaping from the pages of ancient history. A shame we don't have someone who specializes in dealing with them, otherwise our problem might be solved," Tarkin said as the Inquisitor looked at him as he offended him, "Minister, have you ever met a Jedi?"
"No, I…" Tua answered.
"I actually knew the Jedi, not from the pages of folklore or children's tales, but as flesh and blood," he told her, "And do you know what happened to them?"
"Well, there were rumors…" Tua said as she began to answer.
"They died. Every last one of them and due to their history any Mandalorian who is able to use the Force would not want to become a Jedi. So you see, these criminals cannot be what they claim to be, and I shall prove it," Tarkin told them.
"Aren't we headed the wrong way?" Satele asked Kanan as they rode speeder bikes with Sabine on a jumpspeeder with a box carrying supplies connected to it as she followed them with her helmet over her head as well, evading Imperials who were chasing them with other speeder bikes and an Imperial troop transport as she had her helmet over her head.
"Don't want to lead 'em back to the ship. Follow me," Kanan explained as he swooped his speeder around with both Sabine and Satele following.
"They're making for town. Order our units to split up. We'll box them in," Aresko said to Grint from inside the Imperial troop transport with Grint piloting the troop transport alongside a Combat Driver on the seat next to him before Grint pressed a button on the console in front of him as the Imperials on speeder bikes splitted up as Kanan, Satele and Sabine drove through the town of Jalath, scaring an ugnaught who was carrying a meiloorun, causing him to drop it as he ran away. Sabine soon splitted up from Kanan and Satele as she flew her jumpspeeder into an alleyway with one of the combat drivers that were chasing them on speeder bikes to follow her only for his speeder hike to collide into a wall, destroying the speeder bike as he flew off the speeder bike. The combat driver that was chasing Kanan and Satele on their speeder bike began to fire upon them with the speeder bike's laser cannons and as soon as they turned a corner, Kanan pulled out his DL-18 blaster pistol and turned around on his speeder and fired a blaster bolt at the combat driver, knocking them off their speeder bike.
"Gotcha," Kanan muttered as he turned back around on his speeder bike as they soon regrouped with Sabine as Satele and Sabine flew ahead of him as a combat driver began firing their speeder's laser cannons from behind them.
"Stay on 'em. I'll cut 'em off," the combat driver told two other combat drivers riding their own speeder bikes next to him before splitting off from the other combat drivers and stopped near a building as he grabbed a blaster from its holster as two speeders approached him and as they neared him, the combat driver saw that no one was driving the speeders, causing him to get off of his speeder and began to walk through the alleyway and soon saw one of his men knocked out on the ground before turning around and saw Kanan, Sabine and Satele standing on a building behind him with Satele holding her saber in her hand and fired a stun blast at the combat driver.
"Told you that would work," Satele told Kanan as the combat driver fell to the ground on top of the other combat driver as he fell unconscious.
"Nice job, Sat," Sabine told Satele after Kanan jumped off the building before they both jumped off as well as they flew their speeders back to the Ghost.
As soon as Kanan, Sabine and Satele arrived back at the Ghost they took their speeders up the ramp before entering the common room where Hera and Zeb were watching a recording of Trayvis and the holonet news reporter on the holotable, who had light skin, brown hair that had sideburns and blue eyes with Chopper standing next to Hera.
"Senator Trayvis, now that you've recommitted yourself to the Empire, will your followers do the same?" The HoloNet news reporter asked Trayvis.
"Most will, Alton. These were good people who simply wanted to make the Empire a better place, peacefully. But I'm afraid these insurgents have twisted my message into something violent and frightening," the hologram of Trayvis answered as Sabine and Satele removed their helmets with them looking at the holotable with expressions that looked like anger on their faces as the hologram of Trayvis switched to holograms of Hera aiming her blaster pistol, Kanan with his lightsaber ignited as he stood in a battle stance, Zeb holding his bo-rifle and both Sabine and Satele holding their WESTAR-35 as they had their helmets over their heads, "Of course, I can't abide that. So I'm personally offering a reward for their capture."
"Karabast," Zeb scoffed as he was annoyed with Trayvis's speech as it switched to him holding Imperial credits, "Turn it off."
"Still makes me sick to think that Trayvis is working for the Empire," Hera said as she turned the holotable off.
"Every time we win, we lose," Satele remarked.
Well, I have a plan that might just even the score. If Trayvis can do it, we can do it, too," Kanan announced.
"What, we're gonna send out some kind of inspirational type messages?" Zeb asked with disbelief.
"Exactly," Kanan confirmed.
"Exactly," Hera said, agreeing with him as Zeb was shocked at his plan.
"Um, I don't get it," Sabine admitted.
"Yeah, Kanan. What are you thinking? We can't just send a signal. The Empire would track it in half a second," Satele said, agreeing with her sister in confusion.
"Not if the signal comes from one of its own towers," Kanan explained.
"Ah. Now I get it," Sabine remarked as she snapped her fingers.
"I get it as well now. You want to take control of an Imperial communications tower, which is pretty much impossible, and then you want to use it to send a message to the people of Lothal?" Satele asked as she realized what his plan was.
"Not just Lothal. One of those big towers can reach a few systems," Kanan said, correcting her.
"Even Mandalore and Krownest?" Satele asked, hoping that if she is the one to send the message that her and Sabine's parents, brother and entire clan would hear the message.
"Possibly. Why?" He asked her.
"If I'm the one to send the message I would want Mother, Father and my brother to hear it," she answered, "Besides that's a crazy plan."
"That's why you like it," he told her.
"And what would we say in this message?" Satele asked him as she walked away from him and her sister with her helmet under her arm.
"Something the Empire never says, the truth," Kanan answered, causing Chopper to pull one of his arms out of his dome, grunting in agreement as Zeb and Hera smiled at him from the couch while Sabine smiled as she stood next to him, "We have to let people know what it's really like out here. Now, are you in?"
"Count me in," Satele answered.
"Commandant Cumberlayne Aresko and Taskmaster Myles Grint reporting," Aresko said as he and Grint entered an office within the Imperial complex where the Inquisitor, Tua and Kallus were inside, standing behind a desk where Tarkin was sitting.
"Gentlemen. Sit," Tarkin told them as Aresko and Grint approached the desk and sat in the chairs in front of the desk, "I understand you have experience dealing with these insurgents."
"Oh, yes, sir," Aresko confirmed as the Inquisitor slowly began walking towards both Areako and Grint from behind.
"And your efforts have been less than successful?" Tarkin asked them.
"Well, I… I wouldn't say…" Aresko said, stammering as the Inquisitor stood behind him and Grint.
"Commandant, if your efforts had been successful, we would not be having this little chat," Tarkin told him, "Now, when was the last activity reported?"
"Sir, we, uh, responded personally to an attack last night in one of the outlying towns," Grint answered.
"And the details of this attack?" Tarkin inquired.
"Uh, nothing of note. The insurgents stole some supplies and escaped on speeder bikes. No casualties," Aresko answered.
"Ah, but you see, Commandant, there is something of note in that report, no casualties. Your rebel cell is more principled than others," Tarkin told him.
"Others, sir? You mean there are other cells?" Grint asked.
"Cells, factions, tribes… Call them what you will," Tarkin said as he stood up," They lack the one thing that would make them a credible threat to the Empire, unity. While your cell seems uninterested in violence, it does present a specific threat, the Jedi and their Padawan."
"We have encountered them, sir, and the Jedi lives up to their reputation, while the Padawan seems to be a Mandalorian as as we've seen she wears Mandalorian armor," Aresko told him.
"Oh, I doubt that very much. But I am not concerned with their skills as warriors. I am concerned with what they represent. Or perhaps I should say, I am concerned by what you allow them to represent by failing to stop them, hope. There are whispers of this alleged Jedi and his Padawan in the streets. In time, such whispers might spark belief in something other than the strength and security of the Empire. And that, gentlemen, is something I cannot have," Tarkin told Aresko and grint before turning around as the Inquisitor grabbed his lightsaber from his back as both Kallus and Tua's facial expressions changed from emotionless to ones of horror and shock as the Inquisitor ignited both of his lightsaber's blades between Aresko and Grint, killing them instantly before he placed his lightsaber back on his back after deactivating the lightsaber's blades, "Make no mistake. From now on, failure will have consequences. Agent Kallus, you will dispatch probe droids to every known insurgent activity on Lothal. We will discover the whereabouts of these criminals and we will make examples of them."
Satele and Sabine laid on top of an arch-like structure near the Imperial communications tower they were planning on hijacking with Kanan laying on his stomach next to them as both Satele and Sabine had their helmets over their heads.
"There it is. The Empire's main communications tower on Lothal. It routes comm from every Imperial operation on the planet, including the Empire's HoloNet broadcasts," Kanan said as both Sabine and Satele got up and stood on one of their knees as they flipped their helmet's macrobinocular viewplates down.
"I got bucketheads on the perimeter and at least three anti-ship batteries around the base," Sabine said as she saw stormtroopers hanging around anti-air turrets around the Imperial communications tower, "What about you, Sis?"
"Same thing, but it won't be an easy trip to the front door," Satele said as she looked at the tower's front door before both she and Sabine both flipped their helmet's macrobinocular viewplates back up.
"Don't underestimate yourselves, you're both Force-Sensitive after all," Kanan told them.
"Let's be optimistic. Say we get to the front door. What then?" Satele asked her.
"One of us could upload a data spike into the central computer and have that transmitter operational in, I don't know, five minutes?" Sabine answered.
"I said be optimistic," Satele told her.
"Five minutes is optimistic," Sabine told her.
"Three is better," Kanan told Sabine.
"Hey. You can have it good or you can have it fast," Sabine told him.
"All right," Kanan told Sabine before turning to Satele, "Scan us a holomap, Satele and let's get out of here." Satele clicked on her armor's control pad to scan them a holomap of the Imperial Control tower as they heard an Imperial troop transport drove under the arch like-structure and they all laid back on their stomachs as the Imperial troop transport drove through the arch like-structure before both Sabine and Satele looked back up as they flipped their helmet's macrobinocular viewplates back down as Kanan looked at it as well, "I don't like the look of that thing." Kanan then placed his electrobinoculars over his eyes and looked down below the arch like-structure they were on and saw an Imperial probe droid below them with his electrobinoculars
"Imperial probe droid," Sabine remarked as she and Satele saw the Imperial Probe droid as well before both of them flipped their helmet's macrobinocular viewplates back up before Satele went to grab one of her WESTAR-35s before realizing that it was a bad idea to blast the Imperial probe droid as the Empire would suspect that something was up as they moved backwards a bit.
"We need to move," Kanan whispered to both Satele and Sabine as the Imperial probe droid hadn't noticed them yet and sneaked over to the other side of the arch where the Imperial probe droid flew over to as it continued to scout the area.
"Hate to mention this, but where are the bikes?" Satele asked as they watvhed the Imperial probe droid.
"Next to the road," Kanan answered.
"Right where that thing will see them," Satele added they looked next to the highway's road where their speeder bikes were parked.
"Hope somebody's got an idea, or this whole plan is shot," Sabine told both Kanan and Satele as Satele closed her eyes and extended her arm out and slowly began to move the speeder bikes with the Force before sensing a loth-cat hiding in the plains as she moved her arm towards it as the Loth-cat's head poked out from the grass before it leaped onto one of the speeders before jumping onto the Imperial probe droid and began to attack it with their claws as the Imperial probe droid began spinning out of control before crashing onto the ground on the highway near the speeders as it sparked with electricity before the Loth-cat jumped off the Imperial probe droid and screeched at it before running off back into the plains as Sabine, Satele and Kanan stood back up, "I could have blasted it and gotten that result."
"I thought about doing that too before realizing the Empire would suspect something was up," Satele told her.
"Good thinking, Padawan," Kanan told Satele.
"Okay. It's touching when you two bond, but I'm betting that probe has friends, so let's move it," Sabine told them as she face palmed her helmet for a second before they all slid down the arch and hopped on their speeders, "Besides I'm wondering when I start my Jedi training, will I be able to control animals as well?"
"Not sure," Satele answered.
"Not every Force-user is able to use every Force ability," Kanan added as they drove away on their speeders but little did they know the Imperial probe droid was a bit active as it saw them fleeing the area on their speeders.
"Governor, one of our probes seems to have found something," Kallus told Tarkin as he entered Tarkin's office with his ISB helmet under his arm and walked up to him and handed him a datadisk before Tarkin placed it into a holoprojector on the desk where an image of Kanan, Satele and Sabine leaving the Imperial communications tower on speeder bikes appeared from the holoprojector, "I believe these are the speeder bikes responsible for the rebel activity near Jalath."
"Where was this footage taken?" Tarkin asked.
"Outside the main communications tower," Kallus answered as he switched the projection from the footage of Kanan, Satele and Sabine leaving the Imperial communications tower to a diagram of the tower.
"A perfect target for these criminals," Tarkin remarked.
"We can't risk losing the tower," Kallus told him as he switched the holoprojector off, "We should reinforce security…"
"No. Let them believe they still possess the element of surprise. Lure them in, and we shall be waiting," Tarkin told him.
"As you wish," Kallus said as he backed away before turning to leave the room.
"Inquisitor, I am giving you the opportunity to redeem yourself. Do not disappoint me. And remember, I want this Jedi alive and if possible their Padawan as well," Tarkin told the Inquisitor.
"Your faith will be rewarded," the Inquisitor told him.
"If this works, we should be able yo use this to transmit directly through the tower," Satele remarked as she sat on the couch around the holotable with the transmitter from the Bridger's house as Hera sat next to her while Zeb sat on a chair nearby with him examining his bo-rifle as Sabine sat on a stool in front of the holotable with Chopper standing next to her.
"How we doing?" Kanan asked as he entered the common room.
"Well, Chopper has the spike. We get him in the tower and he can upload it right into the computer core from any terminal," Sabine answered as she plugged a data spike into Chopper's body with grunting as he did so,
"Stop complaining, bolt brain. You have the easy job," Zeb told Chopper.
"Also I want to ask you something," Sabine told Kanan.
"Okay, what do you want to know?" He said, wanting to know what she wanted to ask him.
"My Jedi training, when will it start?" She asked.
"If all goes well, then it will be tomorrow," he answered
"And if something happens?" She asked.
"Not sure, but let's hope it doesn't come to that," he answered.
"Wait, you have the Force as well?" Zeb asked Sabine with surprise.
"The Force resides in all living things, Zeb and has to have a large amount of midichlorians to be able to use the Force and last night me and Hera took Sabine and Satele's blood samples to see how much both of them had and saw that Sabine has 15,000 of them compared to Satele who has 16,000, which is why she displayed signs of Force-Sensitivity earlier than Sabine did," Kanan explained
"You did what to us?!" Sabine and Satele asked him with disbelief at the same time as they were both shocked at what Kanan and Hera both did to them while they slept.
"What's the range of this spike?" Kanan asked Sabine as he turned to her
"As long as the tower is transmitting, we're good to go," Sabine answered, "Everyone will hear what we say. Well, anyone who's listening."
"Once the spike is uploaded, we'll signal," Kanan said as he began telling them a bit of the plan.
"And I spirit you away in the Phantom," Hera added, telling them her part of the plan.
"That's the plan," Kanan said, agreeing with her.
"And things always go according to plan, right," Sabine remarked.
"Sis is right about that," Satele said, agreeing with her twin in a tone that made her sound a bit down.
"What's with you?" Kanan asked his apprentice.
"Nothing," she answered.
"Let's take a walk," Kanan suggested Satele and after he said that she grabbed her helmet and left the common room.
"What's on your mind?" Kanan asked Satele as he approached her on the Ghost's ramp as she had her helmet under her arm.
"I'm not sure we should go through with this," she answered.
"Satele, you are up to this. I know you are," he argued.
"I know that's what you want to think. But look. As much as I wish I was like the Bridgers, I'm not, Father is," Satele told him as she walked down the ramp.
"There's something else," Kanan told her as he sensed that something else was troubling her.
"The Bridgers spoke out and I lost them, the only other family I knew besides Sabine, Tristan, and our parents, and I don't… I don't want to lose Sabine and you guys, okay? Not over this," Satele admitted.
"Hey. All of us have lost things. And we will take more losses before this is over. But we can't let that stop us from taking risks. We have to move forward," Kanan told her before walking down the ramp next to her, "And when the time comes, we have to be ready to sacrifice for something bigger."
"That sounds good, but it's not so easy," she told him.
"It's not easy for me either. My master tried to show me, but I don't think I ever understood it until now, trying to teach it to you and soon Sabine as well," Kanan told her, "I guess you, Sabine and I will be learning these things together once I start training her as well."
Hours later at the Imperial communications tower, Sabine was riding her jumpspeeder towards the tower with a barrel of Rhydonium connected to the back of the speeder with her helmet over her head as the stormtroopers standing at the tower's entrance began firing upon her with their E-11 blaster rifles with the anti-air turrets doing the same as she evaded the blaster bolts and laser cannonsas she unconsciously used the Force to evade them.
She then jumped off the speeder as she aimed it at one of the anti-air turrets with the Rhydonium destroying the anti-air turret as she pulled out both of her WESTAR-35s and fired blaster bolts at two of them as Zeb appeared at one of the anti-air turrets and slammed his fists on the stormtrooper who was operating it before throwing him behind the turret with the stormtrooper landing a distance away from the turret as Zeb sat on the turret's seat and fired it at the stormtroopers.
Kanan and Satele who were riding on speeders stopped near Sabine with Satele's speeder carrying Chopper as they hopped off the speeders with Chopper was demagnetized from the speeder as Satele pulled both of her WESTAR-35s from their holsters before they entered the tower with Sabine firing both of her WESTAR-35s at the stormtroopers who were standing at the tower's computer terminal as the tower's alarms began to blare.
"Who wants to do the honors?" Kanan asked Sabine and Satele as he jumped into the area around the computer terminal and switched off the alarms.
"I'll do it," Sabine answered.
"Okay, Sabine, three minutes," Kanan told Sabine as she bent down next to the computer terminal with Chopper.
"Chopper, install the spike," Sabine told Chopper as he took the data spike out from his body and plugged it into the computer terminal's astromech port as it slowly turned around as te astromech port accepted the data spike.
"What? They're here? That's impossible,"Kanan remarked as he and Satele rushed out the tower with the alarm going off again as Sabine ran into the area around the computer terminal as the data spike continued to insert itself into the computer terminal's astromech port.
"Looks like time's up," Satele remarked as they saw Imperial patrol transports fly above in the sky as Kanan placed his electrobinoculars over his eyes while Satele flipped her helmet's macrobinocular viewplate down before looking forward and saw Imperial troop transports driving towards them before Kanan removed his electrobinoculars from his eyes while Satele flipped her macrobinocular viewplate back up.
"Sabine, we got targets incoming!" Kanan told Sabine with his comlink.
"You said I'd get three minutes," Sabine reminded Kanan from the computer terminal console inside the tower.
"Well, now you get on, so hurry up!" Kanan told her through her helmet's comlink, causing Chopper to grunt a response.
"Yeah, you and me both," Sabine said, agreeing with Chopper as the data spike finished inserting itself into the astromech port.
"Go to Zeb," Kanan told Sabine as Zeb was firing the anti-air turret at one of the Imperial patrol transports where the Inquisitor was standing inside.
"I'm staying right here," she argued.
"No, you're getting Zeb then you're coming back here. Now go!" He told her before she hopped on her speeder to get Zeb as he took his comlink back out, "Specter-1 to Phantom. We're gonna change our pickup."
"Not a good idea, Specter-1," Hera told him on his comlink.
"Plan's changing. Just get your eyes on the sky. We'll meet you up there," Kanan told her as he pulled out his DL-18 blaster pistol.
"Copy that," Hera replied.
The data spike soon fully inserted itself into the astromech port at the computer terminal before Chopper pulled it out.
"Okay, I got a signal. It worked. Let's go," Sabine told Chopper before they left the tower.
"Zeb, come on. Kanan wants us to move," Satele told Zeb as she approached him at the anti-air turret he was at.
"But I like this gun," Zeb protested as the Imperial troop transports began firing at the anti-air turret from a distance away.
"I can get you a Bes'uliik," she told him.
"A what?" Zeb asked her, not understanding what that was.
"It means Basilisk war droid in basic, Zeb," she clarified.
"Okay, you can get me one of your war droids," Zeb told her as he saw the Imperials start to shoot at the anti-air turret and hopped onto her speeder as it left the anti-air turret.
"Not this way. Back inside," Kanan told Satele and Chopper as they appeared at the tower's door as Satele and Zeb appeared next to him on her speeder.
"Are you crazy?" Sabine asked him with disbelief.
"Take the lift. Hera will meet you at the top," Kanan told them as Sabine amd Chopper bavked into the tower.
"Wait. What about you?" Satele asked him.
"I'll take the next one," he answered.
"Let's go," Zeb told Satele as they entered the tower.
"Satele," Kanan called out to Satele as he ignited his lightsaber as he turned to her as she looked back at him, "I'll be right behind you." He then closed the tower's entrance with a button next to the doorway as the Imperial troop transports neared him with Kallus and a few stormtroopers exited the Imperial troop transports.
"Now this is a familiar situation," Kallus told Kanan.
"Same situation, same ending. You lose," Kanan told Kallus.
"I don't think so," Kallus told Kanan as the Imperial patrol transports neared them with one of them turning around with the Inquisitor leaping out of the Imperial patrol transport that he was in and landed in front of them before Kanan stabbed his lightsaber into the door's control panel, disabling it so the Inquisitor and the other Imperials can't get through.
"Where's Kanan?" Satele asked as soon as she, Sabine, Zeb and Chopper reached the top of the tower and looked down from the tower after getting on the ground and meditating for a second to increase Kanan's performance against the Inquisitor without knowing that he was going to battle him as an Imperial patrol transport appeared across from them with the stormtroopers firing their blaster rifles at them as Sabine, Satele and Zeb tried evading the blaster bolts.
"What did you hope to gain by coming here?" The Inquisitor asked Kanan.
"You're clever," Kanan told him as he went to strike the Inquisitor down only for the Inquisitor to ignite his lightsaber as they went into a saberlock, "Figure it out." They then began to duel as they clashed their sabera against one another before Kanan kicked him in the chest, knocking him backwards.
"You've been practicing," the Inquisitor told him.
"Nice of you to notice," Kanan told him.
"There's someone who wants to meet you. If you surrender now, he might let your friends live," the Inquisitor told him, causing him to deactivate his saber as he crossed his arms, "Unexpected. And I sense another Force-Sensitive, someone other than your Mandalorian Padawan. Could it be her sister, the other Mandalorian?"
"We're full of surprises," Kanan told him when his comlink started beeping as one of the Imperial patrol transports that was hovering next to the top of the tower was suddenly fired upon as the Phantom appeared before Kanan reignited his saber and swung it at the Inquisitor as he reignited his saber as well as they went into a saberlock and he began to push Kanan back towards the building.
Sabine, Satele and Zeb had their hands up as if they were being arrested as the Imperial patrol transport aimed its spotlight over them and Chopper before both Sabine and Satele grabbed thermal detonators from their armor's bags and threw them at the Imperial patrol transport with them exploding on impact as the thermal detonators caused the Imperial patrol transport to spin away.
Both Kanan and the Inquisitor continued to duel as Kanan evaded a strike from the Inquisitor as he stabbed his saber into the wall where Kanan was just standing at before the Inquisitor soon Force pushed him towards the wall, causing him to drop his lightsaber as it deactivated.
"Kanan!" Satele cried as she saw what happened to Kanan as she looked down the tower's railing when the Phantom suddenly arrived at the tower with its rear hatch opening as Chopper activated his rocket booster as he flew into the shuttle before Sabine and Zeb jumped through the Phantom's rear hatch before Satele did the same as well as one of the Imperial troop transports began firing upon it.
"Specter-2, get out of here!" Kanan ordered Hera on his comlink as the Inquisitor continued to use the Force to pin Kanan to the wall.
"Not an option, Kanan," Hera protested.
"No time! Go!" Kanan told her.
"We can't!" Satele protested.
"Hera!" Kanan called out to her, as he continued to tell her to leave him and soon the Phantom's rear hatch closed as the Phantom began to leave, "And Satele, promise me that if I don't make it, train your sister for me."
"I will, Kanan," Satele told him as the Phantom left the tower.
"Looks like I have the time to meet your friend after all," Kanan told the Inquisitor as he released him from the wall and aimed his lightsaber at his neck.
Hours later at sunrise, Kanan was handcuffed as an Imperial patrol transport flew towards the tower as the stormtrooper forced Kanan to his knees as the Imperial patrol transport landed in front of them as Tarkin who was wearing an Imperial officer battle armor over his Imperial officer uniform with a helmet that was nearly identical to that of an AT-ST driver over his head as his stormtrooper commanders and Death Troopers walking off the Imperial patrol transport behind him.
"Well done, Inquisitor. These are the results I expect, even though you only captured the Jedi," Tarkin told the Inquisitor as he handed Kanan's lightsaber to Tarkin before turning to Kanan, "So, you are the Jedi in question?"
"Whatever you want from me, you won't get it," Kanan told him.
"Sir, we have a problem," Kallus informed Tarkin as he approached him.
"Explain," Tarkin requested.
"It appears the insurgents have gained control of the tower's transmitter," Kallus answered as he took out a comlink and activated it.
"I am Satele Wren," Satele said on the comlink, "We have been called criminals, but we are not. We are rebels, fighting for the people, fighting for you."
"Even though I wasn't born on Lothal, I know there was a time when things were better on this planet," Satele went on as she sat on the couch around the holotable with Sabine sitting next to her with their helmets on their laps as they sat in front of the transmitter that was on the holotable as Hera stood nearby while Zeb sat on a stool nearby as Chopper stood in front of the holotable, "Maybe not great, but never like this. See what the Empire has done to your lives, your families and your freedom?"
"It's only gonna get worse, unless we stand up and fight back, It won't be easy. There will be loss and sacrifice," Satele went on as Tarkin, Kallus, the Inquisitor escorted Kanan onto the Imperial patrol transport before it lifted off of the ground, "But we can't back down just because we're afraid. That's when we need to stand the tallest."
"That's what Mira and Ephraim Bridger taught me when my father gave me to them. That's what my sister, Sabine and our friends helped me remember," Satele added.
The Imperial patrol transports then launched missiles at the communications tower, surprising Kanan as he looked shocked and horrified as he looked at Tarkin.
"Stand up together against the Empire and free our planets against their grasp including Lothal, Mandalore, Pantora, Fresia, Rodia, Fondor, Chandrila, Ryloth and Coruscant. Because that's when we're strongest, as one," Satele said as she finished her speech as the transmitter's frequency went static as the missiles from the Imperial patrol transports collided with the communications tower, destroying it.
"You do not know what it takes to win a war," Tarkin told Kanan as the communications tower collapsed to the ground, "But I do."
"Was it worth it? Do you think anyone heard?" Satele asked Hera, her sister and Zeb.
"I have a feeling they did, including your parents and brother," Hera told her.
"This isn't over," Satele told her.
"No, it isn't," Hera said, agreeing with her.
Please favorite and review. Would you like me to continue adding the Imperial scenes or not?
Also who else have seen the fourth episode of the Bad Batch and loved Fennec Shand in it?
