"We'll be arriving in the Del Zennis system any moment," one of the pilots that was piloting Sato's command ship said as the corvette was traveling through Hyperspace with Satele, Sato and a number of rebels inside the ship.
"Well, we're coming up on the last known position of our missing patrol, but I already checked the star charts," Satele said as she turned around in the chair she was sitting in that was in front of a computer, "There's nothing out here." As she said that Sato turned to her, "But obviously, that's not true since the ship went missing, so, you know, there must be something out here."
"When Captain Syndulla said you volunteered for this mission, she insisted you could be helpful," Sato told Satele, "Let us hope that is true."
With that said Satele was about to go back to using the star charts on the computer before sensing something through the Force and stood up as she began to walk towards the window nearby, "Something's about to happen."
"Commander, we've lost Hyperdrive control," one of the ship's pilots suddenly announced.
"Emergency positions," Sato ordered.
"What's happening? Are we under attack?" Satele asked as she sat back down in the seat behind her.
"We're being pulled out of Hyperspace," one of the ship's pilots announced as a bright red light appeared in front of the ship at the edge of Hyperspace. Sato's command ship then suddenly floated through normal space as alarms started blaring.
"Secure all stations and get me a status report," Sato ordered.
"Instruments have frozen!" One of the ships reported.
"It's a Star Destroyer!" Satele said as she saw a large Imperial ship hovering over them.
"No. That is something else," Sato told her, "Send the distress signal. Now!" Sato clicked on a computer next to him, "Phoenix Home to Ghost. We've been pulled out of Hyperspace. The Empire…" Sato's command ship's power suddenly powered down before he could finish his message.
Inside the Ghost on the planet of Garel, Kanan, Sabine, Hera, Zeb and Chopper were in the common room as the holotable played a holorecording of Sato.
"Phoenix Home to Ghost. We've been pulled out of Hyperspace. The Empire…" the holorecording of Sato said before switching itself off.
"The transmission was jammed," Hera explained to everyone why the holorecording of Sato suddenly switched off, "But still, that doesn't make any sense. You can't pull a ship out of Hyperspace, because you never know where it is. A tractor beam can't get a lock."
"That's 'cause this isn't a tractor beam. It's a gravity well," Sabine said as she corrected Hera, "When I was at the Imperial academy, they were developing a new cruiser with gravity well projectors powerful enough to pull a ship out of Hyperspace."
"Well, it looks like they finished it," Kanan surmised.
"Chances are they're still testing the system," Sabine told him, "If they follow Imperial procedure, the testing zone for this type of ship wouldn't be that large. You'll probably find it not far from where we lost contact with Commander Sato and my sister."
"All right, everybody. Gear up," Kanan told everyone as he stood up, "We're goin' out there."
"Not everybody," Hera told him as she grabbed him by the shoulder and turned him around, "You and Rex will go to that system. Find that ship and I bet you find Satele and the others."
"Not Rex!" Kanan said as he clearly still had a distrust of clones, "I'll take Zeb."
"I'll go," Sabine announced as she stood up and approached them as she clearly wanted to rescue her sister.
"I really love that you're volunteering to rescue Satele, Sabine," Hera told Sabine as she turned to her, "But your attachment to her would probably jeopardize the mission. So it's probably best if you help your sister's rescue another way"
"Fine, I'll just hijack an Imperial shuttle for you guys instead," Sabine relented as she left the common room.
"Rex's military experience will be invaluable and he can also impersonate a stormtrooper," Hera explained.
"Right, that's because he is a stormtrooper," Kanan told her.
"No, he was a clone trooper," Hera said, correcting him.
"Same thing," Kanan told her.
"Kanan, I sent Satele. This is the only way," Hera told him, "And I'm pretty sure that Sabine is worried about her as she's the only family that she's on good terms with."
"All right. We'll get 'em back. All of them," Kanan said, finally going along with Hera's plan.
"Don't worry, Commander. I'll get us out of this. I've been captured many times," Satele reassured Sato as they were being escorted through the halls by stormtroopers on the mysterious Imperial vessel.
"You're not putting my mind at ease," Sato told her.
"Well, I've escaped a lot too," She added.
"Obviously," he told her before they entered the bridge as they doors slid open and were met by an Imperial officer wearing a cap, had a fair skin tone and had blonde hair with sideburns who was standing towards a holotable before turning around towards them.
"Rebels. Out here searching for your missing patrol, I assume," the Imperial officer guessed.
"We are members of the Corporate Alliance. You have taken possession of my ships illegally, and I demand you release us," Sato demanded of the Imperial officer.
"I am Commander Brom Titus and you are in a position to demand nothing, Commander Sato," the Imperial officer said, surprising Sato, confused on how he knew who he was after he introduced himself to the rebel commander, "Ah, yes. I am familiar with your activities in this sector. I suspected if we captured even one rebel ship, others would race to the rescue. But I dared not hope we'd capture someone as significant as you," he turned to Satele, "And what would your name be, young lady?"
"Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore," Satele responded as she used the same name she gave when she was captured by Kallus after she met Kanan, Hera, Zeb and Chopper as she was reunited with her twin sister, Sabine.
"Indeed, but you are not Duchess Satine Kryze, cause she never wore Beskar armor," Titus told her, "But I know someone else that goes by the name 'Duchess Satine Kryze. Satele Wren. I imagine Agent Kallus will be quite pleased to hear you have joined us."
"How does he know my real name?" Satele asked.
"Secure them," Titus told the stormtroopers, "But put the Mandalorian in a separate cell from the others."
"Yes, Commander," one of the stormtroopers said as they left with the prisoners to take them to their cells.
Back on the Ghost, Kanan approached Rex in one of the rooms and saw that the clone was holding one of his DC-17 pistols.
"Look, for the record this wasn't my idea," Kanan said as he stood in the doorway with his arms crossed.
"Just try to act like a professional," Rex urged Kanan.
"What if you get in there and forget whose side you're on?" Kanan asked him.
"I would never be on their side or wear their junk armour," Rex stated as he turned to Kanan.
"Here are your disguises," Zeb suddenly said as he carried two unconscious stormtroopers up the ramp before dropping them on the floor in front of Kanan and Rex.
"Perfect," Rex said as he took a helmet off of one of the stormtroopers. With that said both Kanan and Rex put the stormtrooper outfits on but were holding the helmets in their arms before walking down the ramp, "This garbage is nothing like clone armour."
"Looks a little tight on you, old man," Kanan teased as he saw Rex look over his body.
"Yeah? Well, at least I know how to wear it," Rex said, walking towards him.
"Kanan, Rex. Once you're in, signal me, and I'll come in with Phoenix Squadron to blast you all out," Hera said, approaching them with two Phoenix Squadron pilots behind her on her right and left.
"How are we getting in anyway?" Kanan inquired and as he asked that he and Rex heard a clattering sound with steam hissing and saw an Imperial shuttle lowering from above by an elevator for ships and saw Sabine inside the cockpit giving them a thumbs up, "How is it the Empire lets us keep stealing these things?"
"Oh. I thought it was the same one we used before," Rex admitted.
"Please bring Satele back safe," Sabine said as she approached Kanan and Rex.
"We'll try our best Sabine," Kanan told her as she hugged him.
"Don't worry, Sabine, we'll save her or we'll die trying," Rex told her.
"Good luck," Sabine said as she shook his hand before they walked towards the shuttle.
"I don't know why she does that," Kanan said, gesturing to artwork of Kanan with his lightsaber ignited and Rex firing one of his DC-17 pistols on the wall behind them as the shuttle traveled through Hyperspace while Chopper stood between them disguised as an Imperial droid as he was painted black and red.
"I believe it's called artistic expression," Rex explained.
"Yeah? Well, my expression is wrong. I'm not happy about being on this mission," Kanan stated as he turned away from the artwork of him and Rex.
"Really? That wasn't clear," Rex said sarcastically, causing Chopper to make a chuckling sound.
"Once we board this thing, Chopper will plug in, find out where they have our people, and we get out of there," Kanan said, explaining the plan to the clone.
"We've got to disable this weapon, whatever it is," Rex argued, "If the Empire is able to intercept our ships in Hyperspace, this rebel movement won't last long."
"I hear what you're saying, but remember, this is a rescue mission, first and foremost,"Kanan told him, before looking at the window, "We're coming up on Satele's last known position."
"Let's just hope we can find that ship fast," Rex said as the shuttle jumped out of Hyperspace with the mysterious Imperial vessel in the distance.
"Uh-oh," Kanan muttered while Chopper grunted.
"Shuttle S257, this is a restricted area," an Imperial officer said on the shuttle's comm.
"Copy that, Sir. Boy, are we glad to see you. We have a 157. I repeat a 157," Rex said, answering the Imperial officer on the shuttle's comm.
"You are not cleared. This is a 675 test zone and off-limits to you, S257," the Imperial officer told him.
"Well, if we don't get some help soon we're gonna have a 3376 on our hands," Rex added, "I don't think you're gonna want to have a 3376 off your starboard side, now, would you, sir?"
"Shuttle S257, requesting our emergency access code," the Imperial officer requested.
"Copy that, sir. Priority protocol 7…" Rex said as he went on with the protocol.
"This is the stuff I can't stand, protocol nonsense," Kanan whispered to Chopper.
"Stand by for code check," the Imperial officer said.
"Cody and I practically invented these emergency protocols back in the Clone War," Rex told Kanan, referring to his old clone friend and brother during the Clone Wars, CC-2224 'Commander Cody', "Trust me, the codes are good."
"Copy, Shuttle S257. You are cleared to proceed on heading 1599 to hangar 11," the Imperial officer said moments later as the shuttle approached the mysterious vessel from below.
"Thank you, sir," Rex said before the comm beeped as it turned off and Rex turned to Kanan, "See? They don't suspect a thing."
Titus entered another section of the bridge to a communications center and clicked a button, causing a hologram of Kallus to appear in front of him, "Agent Kallus. Our new gravity weapon reeled in a catch of rebels who I believed you're familiar with, Commander Jun Sato and a young one who calls herself Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore."
"You have Satele Wren? Excellent work, Admiral," Kallus said, "Lock her in a secure cell under triple guard."
"Triple guard?" He repeated with confusion, "She is but a child."
"I warn you," Kallus said, "Do not underestimate that girl."
"I'm certain that the Imperial Navy is more than a match for one girl and a Mandalorian one at that, whatever she calls herself."
"We shall see. I'm on my way," Kallus said before the hologram turned off.
"Well, all set?" Rex asked Kanan as both of them put their stormtrooper helmets over their heads after grabbing their E-11 blaster rifles before walking towards the ramp as they began to leave the shuttle into hangar 11.
"I guess," Kanan said as the shuttle's door to the ramp opened before walking down the ramp with Chopper following, "This must be like old times."
"Just follow my lead and you'll be okay," Rex said after chuckling.
"No, you follow my lead," Kanan argued as they approached two stormtroopers that were guarding a door in front of them.
"Command deck says you need to make your repairs and depart," one of the stormtroopers said, approaching them.
"We need to get to maintenance," Kanan said, using a Jedi mind trick as he waved his hand in front of the stormtrooper.
"You need to get to maintenance," the stormtrooper said, repeating him as the mind trick worked.
"We can go on our way," Kanan added as he continued to use the Jedi mind trick on the stormtrooper, waving his hand again.
"You can go on your way," the stormtrooper said, walking back to the side along side the other stormtrooper.
"Not bad. I've seen better," Rex told Kanan after they along with Chopperentered the door which opened as they approached it.
"Eh, maybe I'll practice on you sometime," Kanan stated before stopping and turned to Chopper as he noticed an astromech port on the wall, "Chopper, plug in and find Satele and the crew." With that said, Chopper rolled over to the astromech port and plugged his scomp link and grunting before rolling away and headed down another section of the hallway with Kanan and Rex following him, "Transferring her to a secure cell? That means they know who she is. Let's go!"
They walked down the hallway till they approached an elevator and one of them activated the elevator by pressing a button and the door immediately opened and entered the elevator.
"Hurry up. Hurry up. Hit the button," Kanan urged Rex after they entered the elevator with Chopper.
"Which, which button?" Rex asked him, "I don't know where it is." Kanan groan as he said that and an Imperial officer enters the elevator, "Oh no."
"Your armor appears to be a little tight, trooper," the Imperial officer said, referring to Rex as he looked at him with the corner of his eye.
"I'll tighten your face a little tighter," Rex muttered after chuckling to himself.
"What was that?" The Imperial officer asked him.
"Possible hyper-sickness," Kanan answered for Rex, "Uh, I'm taking 565 here on, um, the 257."
"The commissary?" The Imperial officer said with disbelief, "That's the last place I'd take him."
"Yeah," Rex muttered to Kanan as the Imperial officer left as the elevator opened before closing again, "I'm gonna take you… Commissary…"
"Move along rebel," one of the stormtroopers that were escorting Satele said before she noticed that the one in front of her had her lightsaber on their hip.
"You will give me my lightsaber and my blasters," Satele said as she waved her hand in front of them as she used a Jedi Mind Trick on them.
"We will give you your lightsaber and blasters," the stormtrooper said, repeating her as he took her lightsaber off his hip and handed it to her before handing her both of her WESTAR-35s.
"You will unlock my stuncuffs," she said, waving her hand in front of them.
"I will unlock your stuncuffs," the stormtrooper that was in front of her said, repeating herself as unlocked her stuncuffs.
"Now, all three of you will enter the cell that was designated for me," she said as she waved her hand in front of them again.
"We will enter that cell that was designated for you," all three stormtroopers said as they entered the cell that was designated for her before she knocked them out as she roundhouse kicked all three of them and the cell door closed as she left the cell.
Suddenly she noticed two stormtroopers run from the corner and immediately fired her lightsaber's blaster at them in order to stun them, they fell to the floor as the stun blasts hit them, but just then she widened her eyes as she saw Chopper standing behind the stormtrooper.
"Chopper? Wait…" She said as she rushed over to the two stunned stormtroopers as she became horrified at what she's possibly done, having a feeling that she shot Kanan, "Oh! Oh, no." She gasped as she took off one of the stormtrooper helmets revealing them to be Kanan and did the same to the other one revealing him to be Rex. "Kanan!" She exclaimed as she pushed her master forward and backwards before tapping him on the cheek, causing him to regain consciousness and she turned to Rex, "Oh. Rex. Rex, come on!"
"What just happened?" Kanan asked her.
"Oh. Uh… Did you see them? We were so outnumbered. There was a firefight. A big firefight, actually. You guys fought great," Satele lied, not wanting him to find out what really happened.
"Thanks. All I saw was you," Kanan groaned as he and Rex rubbed the back of their heads with their hands. Chopper then played a projection of Satele shooting them with her lightsaber, surprising Kanan, "You shot us! I can't believe you shot us!"
"I mean, you, you were dressed like stormtroopers," Satele explained as she stood up.
"Yeah!" Kanan said.
"You shot us," Rex repeated before laughing and standing up.
"I set it to stun," Satele added.
"Well, you should've used kill," Rex told her.
"What?!" Kanan said with surprise at what he just heard him say.
"Well, in case if it wasn't us. I mean…" Rex explained as he turned to Kanan.
"This armor doesn't protect you from anything," Kanan realized.
"Well, I told you," Rex told him.
"Now's not the time. We gotta find Sato and sabotage this ship. They have this gravity weapon thing that…" Satele started before realizing that they already know about the gravity well, "You know all this."
"So, what's your plan?" Rex asked her.
"Well, we should probably split up. I'll take Chopper, and he can get me to the reactor that powers this thing. You two bust out Sato," she suggested.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We are not splitting up. Let's get Sato and get out of here," Kanan protested.
"Satele's right. We have to destroy this ship," Rex said, agreeing with the Mandalorian.
"Do you know how many stormtroopers are heading this way?" Kanan asked him.
"It doesn't matter," Rex answered.
"Can't afford to separate," Kanan protested yet again.
"We have to protect the fleet," Rex told him.
"Will you two quit it already?" Satele requested, not wanting to hear them arguing anymore, "Part of the reason I took this mission was to get a break for this!" She pushed them away from each other as she walked past them before leaving them as she walked around the corner, "Okay, Chopper and I will meet you at Sato's ship."
"She takes after Hera and Sabine sometimes," Kanan told Rex as he placed the stormtrooper helmet he had, Rex did the same as they left, going in the opposite corner of the one Satele went.
"Sir, we've had a breach in the detention level. The prisoner known as 'Satine Kryze of Mandalore' has escaped," an Imperial officer announced as he entered the ship's bridge and approached Titus
"Lock all levels down. Sweep the vessel and secure the hangar bays," Titus ordered.
"Yes, sir," the Imperial officer said before walking away.
"And, Commander, when you find the girl, eliminate her," Titus said, stopping the Imperial officer as he was walking away and the admiral looked at him with the corner of his eye, "I would hate it if we proved Agent Kallus right."
"Yes, sir. Right away," the commander said before walking away as he went to do what the admiral ordered him to do as he went to speak on the ship's PA.
"Locking down. Secure detention block," the commander said on the ship's PA system.
"One of the rebels has escaped. Do not attempt capture. Eliminate the enemy," a stormtrooper commander ordered two other stormtroopers that he stood in a corner of the detention center with as he saw two stormtroopers walking down the hall and these two stormtroopers were Rex and Kanan.
"I got this one," Rex muttered to Kanan.
"We don't have time for another one of your long-winded bluffs," Kanan told him.
"Oh, you have a better plan?" Rex inquired.
"Yeah," Kanan answered.
"Well, what is it?" Rex asked.
"This!" Kanan answered as the stormtrooper commander approached them only to get shot by Kanan with his blaster, causing the other two stormtroopers to begin firing on them to which they began to fire back, soon knocking both stormtroopers unconscious.
"So much for stealth," Rex said as they walked by the bodies.
"It's not like they don't know we're here," Kanan explained.
Chopper rolled out of an elevator with two stormtroopers standing by but unbeknownst to them, Satele was holding onto Chopper's side in order for the stormtroopers to not notice the Mandalorian and a few seconds later after they were clear from stormtroopers Satele let go of Chopper and stood up and looked down the corridor as they hid behind the a section of the hall that leads to another hall for a second before gesturing for him to 'come on' and soon they hid behind the doorway that leads to the room of an Imperial ship where the technicians worked.
"That must be the reactor core for the gravity weapon," Satele surmised as she looked at the room and Chopper grunted to her as she took out a thermal detonator from one of her armor's bags, "What? You have a plan?" He grunted yet again, "I'm the bait." Chopper continues to grunt as he explains his plan to her, "Okay. Okay. I'll draw them away after I plant this thermal detonator along with a few others. Most of the time they ignore droids anyway."
She took her lightsaber out as she said that and sneaked into the reactor core and planted a few thermal detonators on the bottom of the bridge before hiding behind a diagnostic and control console where one of the technicians were working at, before sneaking away yet again and hid behind one of the reactors and looked to another reactor where a technician was working at before looking to the other side of the reactor where she was hiding behind.
"Hold it!" The technician called out to her as she ran towards the ledge of the platform to hide beneath it, "We've got an intruder."
"Come and get me!" She challenged as she jumped onto the platform below and ignited her lightsaber as she used it to deflect the blaster bolts that the technician fired at her with a pistol before she ran away, the other technicians began to fire at her as she ran below them and began to deflect their blaster bolts. As this happened Chopper rolled in grunting before approaching an astromech port and locked his feet down as he plugged his scomp link into the astromech port and rotated it with the scomp link.
"They've shut off gravity!" one of the technicians suddenly said as the artificial gravity turned off as everyone but Chopper and Satele began to float in mid-air as Chopper magnetically locked his feet down.
"This wasn't part of the plan!" Satele yelled as her armor's boots magnetically locked themselves to the floor as she pressed her detonator's timer, Chopper grunted before one of the technicians fired their blaster pistol at Satele only for her lightsaber to deflect the blaster bolt as she was pushed back at wall to which she jumped off of as she deflected the blaster bolt back at the technician hitting him in the chest, she ran around as Chopper grunted at her, "Whoa!" As this happened the reactor's red oval shaped lights turned blue and he grunted to her.
Soon he rotated his scomp link back around the astromech port as he turned the artificial gravity back on, causing everyone but Satele to fall, some landing on the platform and some screaming to their deaths. "You better have sabotaged it." Chopper started grunting as she hid behind one of the reactor control panels with Chopper next to her and grabbing her lightsaber, "What do you mean, you think you did?" She looked and saw stormtroopers firing at them from a doorway below before seeing that Chopper was rolling away, "Hey!" She ignited her lightsaber deflecting the blaster bolts as she went to follow Chopper out of the room.
"Never expected it to make it this far with you as a partner," Kanan told Rex as they were shooting at stormtroopers before hiding behind a corner.
"You know, you're not the first Jedi I've fought beside," Rex reminded him.
"But probably the last," Kanan added as Rex fired his rifle at the stormtroopers only for the blaster bolts to reflect off of the walls, "Wow. You really do shoot like a stormtrooper. Guess I don't have too much to worry about."
"It's this helmet," Rex explained as he removed the stormtrooper helmet from his head while Kanan went to the cells behind them and threw it at one of the stormtroopers, "I can't see!" The helmet landed onto one of the stormtroopers causing the stormtrooper to fall on the ground unconscious while he continued to fire at the remaining stormtrooper.
Kanan opened and entered one of the cells as he saw Sato and the rest of the rebels that were captured and removed his helmet as he approached them, "Commander."
"Kanan," Sato said as Kanan handed him a blaster, "They're keeping Satele in a separate cell. We have to find her."
"Satele's doing fine," Kanan told him as Sato stopped him as Kanan was exiting the cell.
"You mean she escaped? On her own?" Sato said with disbelief.
"Yeah. She tends to do that," Kanan confirmed, placing his hand on the commander's shoulder for a second before running back towards Rex, "We don't have time for this. I'll pull you fire."
"Just like the old times," Rex chuckled.
"Settle down, Captain," Kanan told him before he began to use the Force as he held his hand outwards towards the stormtroopers, pushing one of the stormtroopers towards the right side of the edge of the hall.
"Whoa. Whoa. What's going on?" One of the stormtroopers asked, confused as he was pulled across the floor before being shot by Rex.
"I can't stop!" Another stormtrooper cried as he too was being pulled across the floor before being shot by Rex as well and did the same to another stormtrooper that was pulled down the hall before being shot by Rex as well and then Kanan, Rex, Sato and the other rebels ran through the hall.
"Kanan. We're on our way back," Satele said as she spoke into the comlink that was on her wrist as she currently didn't have her helmet with her while she and Chopper sneaked down a hall as stormtroopers were running down another part of the hallway, "Where are you?"
"We're headed for Sato's ship," Kanan responded on the comlink.
"Roger that," she said before igniting her lightsaber before heading towards the corner to another hall with Chopper following her.
Kanan had his lightsaber ignited as he deflected blaster bolts from stormtroopers as he held an E-11 blaster in his hand before punching a stormtrooper with his elbow as he approached one as they went around a corner with Rex, Sato and the other rebels following them, firing at stormtroopers.
"There's too many of them!" Kanan stated.
"I'm too old for all this running," Rex groaned as he walked backwards.
"What are you doing?" Kanan asked the clone with confusion.
"Get those men out of here. They need you," Rex answered as he fired his blaster at stormtroopers, "I can slow them down. Now go!"
"Stop trying to impress me," Kanan urged.
"I'm not trying to impress you! I'll see you back at the ship," Rex said before pushing Kanan backwards and pressing a button to close the door and continued to fire at the stormtroopers as the door closed in front of Kanan.
Rex hid behind a corner before rushing towards the stormtroopers and punched one of them with his elbow, but then a stormtrooper behind him suddenly placed him into a headlock, but then seconds later Rex hurled the stormtrooper forward before he was suddenly blasted by an energy blast, he bent down to pick up his blaster but as he aimed it at the stormtrooper he was blasted yet again as he was stunned.
"Cell block AA-24 is compromised," an Imperial officer informed the ship's admiral through the comms.
"Escaped prisoners last scene on level four," another Imperial officer said on the comms.
"They're impersonating our security personnel!" Another Imperial officer added on the comms.
"A clone," the admiral realized as two stormtroopers brought Rex towards the admiral in front of the holotable.
"You're a bright one," Rex chuckled.
"I had your number scanned. 7567, Captain Rex. You were a hero once. You and your kind brought peace to the galaxy," the admiral told him, "Why would you lower yourself to fight with traitors? Where is your loyalty?"
"My loyalty was to the Republic, not your Empire," Rex answered.
"I serve the order you put into place, Captain. I believe you want to do the right thing. Surrender all your compatriots and I will offer not only immunity, but reinstatement at an Imperial training facility," the admiral offered the clone, "You could wear that armour and be proud of your service again."
"Oh, I'm proud of my service. But I really hate this armour," Rex admitted.
"That's unfortunate, because you are going to die in it," the admiral told him as an IT-O Interrogator droid appeared from the shadows floating in mid-air, causing Rex's eyes to widen in fear as the doors to the room closed before he started screaming.
"We sabotaged the reactor. Let's get out of here," Satele said as she and Chopper entered the corridor where Kanan and the rebels were when Kanan suddenly felt Rex's pain as this happened through the Force.
"Get Sato and his crew to the blockade runner," Kanan told her.
"Where are you going?" Satele asked him.
"I've gotta get my friend," Kanan answered before rushing towards the stormtrooper deflecting the blaster bolts and firing the blaster he was holding as he began to run towards them.
"Wait. Friend?" She repeated with disbelief.
"We can't get through," Sato told her as he stood next to a sealed door before noticing that Kanan was going somewhere, "Where is Kanan going?"
"Don't worry. I've got this," Satele reassured the commander as she ran past him.
"You got this?" He repeated with confusion as he followed her.
She ran past her fellow rebels as she reflected blaster bolts from stormtroopers who were firing at them from the edge of the corridor before hopping onto one of the stormtroopers and hid behind the wall for a split second before behind behind another wall closer to the stormtroopers, with Sato widening his eyes as he saw what she was doing.
"Hey!" She called out to them.
"Come on! She's got this," Sato ordered his rebels as Satele deflected the blaster bolts back at the stormtroopers as she continued to approach them before taking one of her WESTAR-35s out and shooting one in the chest, killing the stormtrooper instantly.
"I am going to terminate you not like a soldier or honored veteran," the admiral told Rex as Kanan, disguised as a stormtrooper appeared in the background of the bridge, "Oh, no. You will be discarded and forgotten, like an obsolete piece of field equipment. And no one will know or care."
"I will," Kanan spoke up as he stepped out of the shadows and removed the stormtrooper helmet he was wearing and aimed his blaster at the IT-O Interrogator droid and fired at the droid, destroying it as it fell onto the holotable.
"Stop them!" The admiral ordered as two of the stormtroopers in the room began to open fire at Kanan, who ignited his lightsaber and deflected the blaster bolts back at them, hitting them in the head.
Rex then overpowered the stormtrooper that was holding him hostage as he pushed his head at the stormtrooper's head before punching him to the ground as the admiral backed away into the bridge with the door closing as he entered the bridge.
"Wow. Nice to know you care," Rex told Kanan as he wasn't expecting Kanan to rescue him.
"Don't ruin this," Kanan begged him before leaving the room with Rex's arm over his shoulder and as a stormtrooper fired his blaster at the Kanan used his lightsaber to deflect it back at the stormtrooper, causing him to fall unconscious before two stormtroopers started to fire their blasters at them from behind, causing Kanan to let go of Rex who fired his blaster at them while he and Rex hid behind a wall for covering fire.
"The whole ship's between us and that hangar," Rex stated.
"Satele, tell Sato to take off," Kanan said, contacting the Mandalorian with his comlink.
"No way. we're not leaving," she said on the comlink as she didn't want to leave without him.
"Just do it. We've got another way out," Kanan told her before running down the corridor that they were hiding from.
"We've got to get back to the ship," Rex told Kanan.
"No time," Kanan stated.
"Then how are we getting out of here?" Rex asked him before they ran around the corner and realized what Kanan meant, "Escape pods." With that said both Kanan and Rex climbed into an escape pod which powered up as they entered before it launched from the mysterious vessel into space.
"We're free of the docking clamps, but Imperial reinforcements are trying to cut their way onto the ship," one of the pilots announced on Sato's command ship as Sato climbed into his chair on the bridge of the Corvette.
"Where are the others?" Sato asked Satele as the Mandalorian ran into the bridge.
"Kanan ordered us to go. He said they have another way out," she answered.
"Pilot, disengage," Sato ordered and as he said that, the corvette descended down from beneath the mysterious Imperial vessel as it began to leave as the thermal detonator that Satele planted in the reactor core went off.
"Sir, the rebel ship is escaping," an Imperial officer reported to the admiral as he approached him on the bridge, "Shall I order our cruisers to intercept?"
"Prepare to fire the gravity wells," Titus ordered as he turned around towards the Imperial officer, and as Titus said that, the technicians within the reactor core ran towards one of the reactors.
"Hey, you sabotaged that thing, right?" Kanan asked Sateleas he and Rex entered the bridge of Sato's command ship after the escape pod he and Rex were in was picked up by the corvette.
"Of course we did after I planted thermal detonators in the reactor core," She answered before turning to Chopper, "Right, Chop?"
Chopper then grunted a response.
"Fire," Titus on the mysterious Imperial vessel's bridge ordered and as he said that, the Technicians at the control panels began typing.
"Gravity projectors engaged," one of the Imperial technicians announced.
"Make the jump," Sato ordered his pilots on the corvette and as the corvette began to jump into Hyperspace, the mysterious vessel's gravity wells began to activate as it immediately pulled the corvette out of Hyperspace as it began to fly back towards the mysterious vessel, "We are caught! Again!"
"Chopper! You said you sabotaged it," Satele said with confusion as she was wondering how the gravity well was still working, Chopper grunted a reply, "What do you mean, 'wait for it'? Wait for what?"
"Sir. The weapon is malfunctioning. It's drawing in our cruisers too," an Imperial technician on the bridge told the Admiral as the gravity well was beginning to malfunction from the reactor core.
As that was said, Imperial light cruisers and Star Destroyers began to fly towards the mysterious vessel as well as Sato's command ship.
"Chopper's rigged their own weapon against them. It's pulling everything in," Satele said as she watched the Imperial vessels slowly but surely fly towards the Imperial vessel.
"Including us!" Kanan stated with fear. As soon as Kanan said that an Imperial light cruiser crashed into the mysterious vessel's bridge but as this happened the admiral ran from the bridge alongside an Imperial officer, other Imperial ships crashed into other sections of the ship, including the gravity well.
"Commander! We're free!" One of the pilots suddenly announced and as he said that Sato's command ship flew away from the mysterious vessel as it started to blow up from the inside, all of the rebels inside the ship cheered as they watched it blow up.
"Oh, now you're the big hero?" Satele said as she walked past Chopper who grunted to her and she placed her arm on his dome, "It was a team effort."
Later, in the area of the destroyed Imperial vessel that was containing gravity wells, a shuttle containing Kallus was scouting the area.
"Sir, we found something," one of the shuttle's pilots announced as he saw an escape pod floating in the distance before a hologram of Titus appeared in front of Kallus on the shuttle with his arms crossed.
"Agent Kallus," the Admiral greeted the ISB agent.
"Admiral," Kallus greeted, "Had some problems with the girl, I see." As Kallus said that, Titus' facial expression turned into one of embarrassment.
"Gentlemen, lady, my crew and I owe you our gratitude," Sato told Kanan, Rex and Satele as he turned his chair around towards them after Sato's command ship exited Hyperspace away from the destroyed mysterious Imperial vessel, "All three of you."
"Thanks, Commander," Satele said before turning to Kanan and Rex, "You know, when you two aren't fighting each other, you fight really well together, Jedi and Clones. Now I get it."
Chopper laughed as she walked away from Kanan and Rex.
"Kids. You know, crazy ideas,"Kanan stated.
"Yeah, you know…" Rex chuckled as he started, "Thanks."
"Yeah. Yeah. I know," Kanan said.
"Well, I guess there's nothing more to say about it," Rex said as he began to walk away.
"Hey, Rex," Kanan said, causing Rex to turn around and saw that Kanan saluted him, surprising him and saluted Kanan back.
