A few days later, it was night as inside Sabine and Satele's room, Satele was sleeping on the top bunk of their room.
"Satele," she heard a familiar feminine voice say in her sleep as she was dreaming before seeing herself standing on a cliff, while she kept hearing the same woman call her name.
"Mira? Mira, are you there?" Satele called out in her dream.
"Satele, we're here," she heard a masculine voice say in the dream and recognized the voice as well.
"Ephraim? Where are you?" She called, wanting to know where her guardians were as she could hear them, "I… I can't see you." She then gasped as she found herself inside of an Imperial prison cell, "Mira? Ephraim?"
"We're right here, Satele," she heard Mira say before seeing a white Loth-cat sitting in the doorway and as she went to pet the Loth-cat, it growled and hissed before she found herself fighting Imperial stormtroopers with her lightsaber before seeing TIE fighters flying from a Star Destroyer before she found herself back inside an Imperial prison and saw a man with a tan skin tone, black hair and a beard sitting on the prison cell's bench with a woman with a similar skin tone to him with purple eyes, wearing a cap over her head, staring at her before she found herself standing behind a boulder and saw an elderly man with a fair skin tone, whit hair and a beard, wearing a white hat over his head, standing above her nearby. She then found herself staring directly at the loth-cat from inside the Imperial cell again before the Loth-cat ran away and she went to follow it before falling down a hole, screaming before waking up as she fell on the floor of her and Sabine's room.
"What just happened?" Sabine asked as she suddenly woke up before seeing her sister on the floor, "Satele, what are you doing on the floor?"
"I had a dream or Force vision, Bine," Satele answered as she stood up with her hand over the back of her head.
"I think we better tell Kanan about it," Sabine said as she got up before they left their bedroom.
"No, no. We've checked these systems," Hera said, standing up with her arms crossed as she and Kanan we're discussing plans for permanent base for Phoenix Squadron as they examined a hologram of several Star Systems on the holotable in the common room, "There's nothing close to a viable location for a base."
"Maybe you're just being picky," Kanan told her.
"Maybe I have to be," Hera said.
"Kanan! Kanan!" Sabine said as she and Satele rushed into the common room, "Satele just had a vision."
"What is it, Satele?" Kanan asked Satele.
"The Bridgers'," Satele answered, "Kanan, I… I saw the Bridgers'. I had a vision that they're out there and I've gotta find them to tell them that I'm alright and I've found my twin sister."
"Satele, you know vision inspired by the Force can be misinterpreted," Kanan reminded her.
"Kanan's right, Sat," Sabine said, agreeing with her sister, "Remember your vision with Trayvis before we found out that he was secretly an Imperial and when we found out that I'm able to use the Force as well."
"Just start at the beginning and tell us exactly what you saw," Hera requested.
"OK. Some kind of Imperial prison I think," Satele began as she and Sabine sat around the holotable, "The Bridgers' were there, and… and there was this Loth-cat."
"You've never talked that much about the Bridgers' to anyone but me before," Sabine told her.
"That was before this vision, Bine," Satele told her, "It was so real. You have to believe me."
"I believe you, Sis," Sabine told her.
"I think it's time to show Satele," Kanan told Hera.
"Show her what?" Sabine asked.
"Yeah, show me what?" Satele asked them as well, agreeing with her twin sister.
"Remember when Tseebo told you he knew what happened to the Bridgers'?" Hera asked Satele as she, Satele, Kanan and Sabine entered the Ghost's communications room as she began to press buttons on the wall.
"Yeah. But I didn't want to hear what he had to say as I was irritated with him…" Satele answered, "That I'd never see them again. Why? Do you know where they are?"
"We know they were taken to an Imperial prison, one of a thousand," Hera answered as she clicked on the buttons on the wall again as a Star Map of thousands of planets appeared in the room.
"There are so many," Satele told them, "Where do we start?"
"Anywhere is as good as any," Sabine muttered.
"Tseebo didn't know exactly where they were but he had fragments of information which we've been trying to piece together," Kanan told Satele.
"We called in every favor with every smuggler, trader and pirate we know," Hera added, "Even asked Senator Organa to inquire with his sources but he couldn't find them. I'm sorry."
"Why didn't either of you tell me this sooner?" Satele asked them.
"There was nothing to tell," Kanan answered, "The Bridgers' were just gone."
"Hera," Sabine said as she turned to the Twi'lek, "Thanks for doing this for her."
"No problem," Hera told them.
"After all you know how important family is for us Mandalorians even if they're not related to us," Sabine added as both Mandalorians went back to their room for some sleep.
Meanwhile in the Lothal System, above the planet of Lothal, inside of the Relentless, both Inquisitors were staring at an image of a planet at the Bridge's holotable.
"Garel is a major port and under our control," Konstantine said as he approached both Inquisitors, "Surely our garrison there would have spotted rebel activity."
"You doubt my word, Admiral?" The Fifth Brother asked Konstantine as he walked past him from behind.
"No, Inquisitor," Konstantine answered as he looked at him, "I merely look to the day when you produce results."
"And they have," Kallus said as he entered the Bridge after the Seventh Sister smirked at Konstantine for a second, "I have independently confirmed the Inquisitors' theory. There is a rebel presence on Garel." He then switched the hologram on the holotable from the planet to Garel city, "They use multiple spaceports to hide their ships. Quite clever."
"You respect them even though they represent your constant failure?" The Seventh Sister asked him with disbelief.
"Perhaps, Inquisitor, we can achieve together what we have not apart," Kallus told her before turning to Konstantine, "Admiral, deploy the fleet to Garel."
"Mira, Ephraim, I will find you," Satele said from the Ghost's rear cannon as she looked at the picture of Mira and Ephraim Bridge from when she was 7, "I've found my twin sister, Sabine. You'd love her, like me, she's smart, loves art, paints and is a mechanic."
"Satele," Kanan called from the common room and she turned off the picture as she jumped down from the turret and walked into the common room and saw a list of names in basic and silhouetted images of people displayed on the holotable's projector.
"What is that?" She asked him
"It's a list of Imperial prisoners," Kanan answered, "The Empire's deleted their names and images to keep them secret."
"Where'd it come from?" Satele asked.
"Commander Sato," Hera answered, "He knows of my interest in Imperial prisons. His contact in the Core intercepted a report there was a mass escape last night."
"That's why I had the vision," Satele realized, "The Bridgers' were a part of this."
"Possibly," Kanan told her.
"They were! I know it," Satele told him, "We've got to find them. How do we find them?"
"I know an old Jedi trick that might be able to help," Kanan answered, causing her to turn to him, "I can't guarantee this will work. You have to open your mind to the truth as the Force presents it. That can mean something good or something bad. Do you understand?"
"Yes. I understand," she answered.
"Turn around and focus on the list," Kanan said as the Mandalorian turned around and extended her arm out towards the list of prisoners and closed her eyes as the silhouetted images began changing as she scrolled down the list, "Don't try to see what you want to see. Let the Force be your guide. Stay in the moment, be in this place at this time." She began to think about the Bridgers', the white Loth-cat and the man with the hat, aiming a rifle as he said that.
"Stop," Satele said as the holoprojector reached a silhouette looking version of the man that she saw but without his hat as Hera chose the image of the prisoner's whose silhouetted image she recognized.
"Prisoner X-10," Hera said, reading the prisoner's identification number, "Whoever this is, they were arrested on Lothal for treason. You might be onto something."
"Maybe," Satele said, agreeing with her, "We have to find out."
"Hang on. They can be anywhere by now," Kanan told her.
"No, Kanan. Not anywhere. Lothal. That's why I keep seeing the white Loth-cat," Satele argued before leaving the common room to the hallway that contained everyone's rooms and entered her's and Sabine's as Hera and Kanan followed her, "Hey, Sis, can you hand me my helmet?"
"Sure thing, Sat," Sabine said as she grabbed her helmet from Satele's bunk and handed it to her twin.
"We want you to find the Bridgers', Satele, so you can let them know that you're safe and that you've found your sister, but even if you're right, you can't go now," Hera told Satele, "We need a plan. The entire Imperial sector fleet has the planet in a blockade."
"Um, not anymore," Sabine told her as she crossed her arms, "Been listening in on Imperial chatter."
"Wait. What's up on Lothal, Bine?" Satele asked as she turned to her sister.
"The Empire's fleet left Lothal this morning, Sat," Sabine answered.
"Left Lothal? Where to?" Hera asked with confusion.
"Doesn't matter, OK? This is a sign," Satele told her, "I'm supposed to go."
"I know you have to go but that doesn't mean you have to go alone," Kanan said as he approached them.
"We support you," Hera told her, "We're family like what you and Sabine are and family is important to you Mandalorians."
"Speaking of family, where are the delinquents?" Sabine asked them.
"Back to Lothal?" Zeb asked as he used his comlink as he and Chopper walked through a market in Garel City with Chopper pulling a crate, "Well, that sounds like a terrible idea. Besides, we haven't finished getting our supplies."
"You can finish later," Hera told him as she sat in the Ghost's pilot's seat with Kanan in the co-pilot's seat and the twins behind them.
"Just get back here now," Satele said from her seat.
"Not too fast, Zeb," Hera told the Lasat, "We don't want to alert any Imperial patrols."
"Don't worry. Not a Buckethead in sight," Zeb reassured her, "In fact, we haven't seen one all morning. Kind of strange, actually."
"It's not strange," Sabine told him as she stood up, "It's strategy."
"What are you talking about?" Satele asked her sister.
"The Empire always pulls back patrols before a major strike," Sabine explained before the console started beeping.
"Oh, no," Hera said as she saw a fleet of Star Destroyers above them within the sky of Garel, "Well, Satele, if you want to go back to Lothal… now would be the time."
"Zeb, get back to the ship," Hera said into her comlink as she, Kanan and the twins walked down the Ghost's ramp.
"I'll contact Commander Sato," Hera added on Zeb's comlink as her transmission began breaking up, "Hurry."
"Hera? You copy? Hello?" Zeb said into his comlink as he tapped on it before Chopper grunted, "I wonder what she was trying to say." Just as he said that, the sealed door to the bay that he was in slid upwards, revealing a squad of stormtroopers, who cocked their E-11 blaster rifles as they aimed them at Zeb and Chopper, "I think I know what she was gonna say."
"Sabine, see if you can quickly splice their jamming signal before going with Kanan and your sister," Hera told Sabine, "We'll need our comm."
"On it," Sabine said as she ran back inside the Ghost.
"Till Sabine finishes slicing the Empire's jamming signal, you two better go and help out Zeb and Chopper," Hera told Kanan and Satele.
"Will do," Satele replied as she placed her helmet over her head.
"Just have us ready to fly," Kanan told Hera as he and Satele went to go after Zeb and Chopper.
Zeb and Chopper ran over to some crates to hide as Zeb fired his bo-rifle at the stormtroopers who were firing back at them.
"Zeb, we'll cover you! Head this way!" Kanan called out to the Lasat as he used his DL-18 blaster pistol, firing it at the stormtroopers while Satele fired both of her WESTAR-35s at them before taking cover fire behind another set of crates.
"Go! Go! Go!" Zeb said as he began to retreat with Chopper as he fired his rifle at the stormtroopers as he left to take cover with Kanan and Satele, but Chopper rolled back over to the crates that he and Zeb were hiding behind.
"Chopper!" Satele yelled as she saw Chopping hiding behind the same crates that he did with Zeb when she and Kanan found him before looking behind and saw Agent Kallus along with two stormtroopers running towards them with the ISB agent firing his bo-rifle at them as Satele began firing both of her WESTAR-35s at him.
"Got us in a crossfire!" Zeb stated as he fired his bo-rifle at the stormtroopers and Kallus as Kanan fired his DL-8 blaster pistol at Kallus.
"We have them pinned," Kallus said as he fired his rifle back at Kanan, Zeb and Satele, who fired their blasters back at him and the stormtroopers, who began to approach them.
"We don't have all day. We have to go back to Lothal!" Satele said before she began retreating.
"Satele, no!" Kanan said as he saw one of his Padawans retreating.
As Satele was retreating, she put both of her WESTAR-35s back in their holsters before grabbing her lightsaber from her armor's belt and ignited it and began to deflect the blaster bolts that the stormtroopers were firing at her back at them, causing them to fall to the floor after the blaster bolts hit one in the stomach and the other in the helmet. She then deflected Kallus' blaster bolts, twirling around as he fired his rifle at her before she extended her arm out, firing a sonic wave at him from her vambrace's repulsor, pushing back towards crates, which then scattered as he landed in front of a wall as he fell unconscious. She then deactivated her lightsaber as Kanan shot one of the other stormtroopers in the helmet.
"Well, that's pretty impressive," Zeb told Kanan.
"Yeah, Mother taught me, Sabine and Tris when we were children," Satele told Zeb as she heard Zeb compliment her.
"Well… hello there," the voice of the Seventh Sister rang through the area and Satele turned around and saw the Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother standing in the distance.
"You are not gonna get in my way," Satele declared with anger in her voice.
"Well, then, my brave young girl come and prove it like the Mandalorian warrior you are," the Seventh Sister taunted, causing Satele to reignite her lightsaber and began to rush towards the Inquisitors.
"Satele!" Kanan called out to the Mandalorian.
Both Inquisitors grabbed their lightsabers from their backs before igniting one of their lightsabers' blades. Kanan then fired his DL-18 blaster pistol at the panel next to the blast doors, closing the doors shut as Satele reached them and pounded on it.
"Satele, I know how important getting to Lothal is," Kanan started as he approached her.
"No, Kanan. Actually, you don't know what it's like," she corrected him as she turned around, snapping at him in frustration.
"You're right," Kanan said, agreeing with her before sighing, "I never had anyone important to me growing up as I never had a family when I was a kid as we Jedi are taken from our parents when we're children."
"Kanan, I… I'm sorry," she sighed as she apologized.
"No. It's OK," he reassured her, "It's too late, but maybe not for you as they were parent-like figures for you since your father left you with them when you and Sabine were five years old."
"It's gonna be too late for all of us if we don't get back to the Ghost," Zeb said as he approached them.
"All right. Come on. We'll take the long way around," Kanan said, agreeing with the Lasat as he, Zeb and Satele began to go back to the Ghost, passing Chopper on the way, "Way to have our backs, Chopper."
"Sabine, where's my comm?" Hera asked Sabine, who was standing in front of one of the computer systems of the Ghost's cockpit as the Twi'lek sat in the pilot's seat.
"Almost got it," Sabine said as the Ghost's comm system beeped.
"Sabine, now go find Kanan and your sister," Hera told the Mandalorian before she ran out of the cockpit as she grabbed her helmet and placed it over her head.
"Hangar 16 has fallen Phoenix Squadron report," a masculine voice said on the Ghost's comm system.
"Ghost to Liberator. Give me some good news," Hera requested as she contacted Sato's command ship.
"We read you, Hera. If the fleet's gonna launch, it's gotta be now," Rex said from Sato's command ship's debriefing room as he stood in front of the holographic table where three Star Destroyers were being displayed.
"We are employing escape plan delta, Captain Syndulla," Sato said as he turned towards the holographic table, "Are you ready?"
Kanan fired his DL-18 blaster pistol back at the stormtroopers that was chasing him, Satele, Zeb and Chopper.
"Come on!" Sabine said, making a gesture for them to enter the Ghost as she appeared in the doorway of the Ghost's ramp, holding her WESTAR-35s before she fired them at the stormtroopers as well.
"They're back. Let's go," Hera said to herself as she saw that Kanan, Satele, Zeb and Chopper had returned as they began to approach Corellian VCX-100 light freighter as she began to pilot it as she grabbed onto the Ghost's control stick.
"Hurry up!" Sabine urged them as she continued to fire her WESTAR-35s at the stormtroopers as Chopper activated his rocket booster and landed inside the Ghost, followed by Satele and Zeb as they jumped onto the ramp before Kanan Force jumped onto the ramp and entered the Ghost before the ramp closed as the ship left the spaceport before it accelerated away.
"This is Phoenix Leader. All ships, angle deflector shields and follow my lead," Hera said into the Ghost's comm system.
"Copy that, Captain Syndulla," one of the rebel pilots said from a taylander shuttle as it began to lift off from another spaceport and followed the Ghost.
"Admiral, several rebel ships have launched," a navigational officer reported to Konstnatine as he turned to him from below the Bridge on the Relentless.
"Prepare tractor beam," Konstantine ordered.
"Zeb, get on the guns," Hera ordered the Lasat as the Ghost began to fly below one of the Star Destroyers.
"On my way," she heard Zeb say.
Kanan, Sabine and Satele stood next to Zeb as he climbed up the ladder to the Ghost's rear cannon.
"Come on, girls," Kanan said as he grabbed Satele's armor's left pauldron before he turned to Chopper, who was behind them, "You too, Chopper." Chopper grunted as he took out both of his metal arms out of his dome as Kanan, Satele and Sabine ran down the corridor that led to the Phantom.
TIE fighters were deployed from one of the Star Destroyers and flew down towards the Ghost as Zeb began shooting at the TIE fighters with the Ghost's rear cannon as the Phantom detached from the Ghost as it's wing's unfolded with Kanan piloting it as both of his Padawans sitting on the seats on the walls of the shuttle behind him and shot down a TIE fighter with the Phantom's cannons. Another of the TIE fighters soon destroyed one of the taylander shuttles as both Mandalorians watched with a look of distress on their faces.
"Target their command ship," Konstantine ordered one of his officers as they approached him as he turned to him as he stared out the window of his Star Destroyer's window.
As Sato's command ship was flying with the other rebel ships, the corvette suddenly stopped as it began to be pulled upwards and towards the Relentless before Rex turned to Sato, "They've slinged us in a tractor beam."
"Kanan, I'm going back for Sato and Rex. You've got your opening. Take it," Hera said on the Phantom's comm system.
"We're not leaving until the fleet is safe," Satele protested when suddenly they heard an explosion outside.
"Hate to say this, but we got to, Sis," Sabine told her.
"I appreciate the sentiment, Satele, but I gave you an order," Hera told the Mandalorian from the Ghost, "And your sister is right, you both have to go with Kanan back to Lothal. Now get moving. And Satele… I hope you find what you're looking for."
"I hope so, too," Sabine told Hera with the Phantom's comm system before Kanan deactivated the comm system.
"Don't worry, you two. She was looking after everyone long before both of you and I came along," Kanan reassured both of his Padawans.
From the top of the Phantom, Chopper was in the astromech socket and had one of his metal arms out of his dome as he waved bye to the Ghost as he saw it fly back to the battle.
"This is not escaping. This is attacking," Zeb said from the Ghost's rear cannon as he realized that Hera was flying the Ghost back to the battle for Sato and Rex.
"Well, I've got an idea," Hera told him, "Something Sabine would think of. But it means getting close to that Star Destroyer. We can use the torpedoes to take out the tractor beam."
"Wait, can we do that?" Zeb asked from the rear cannon on the Ghost's comm system.
"We're gonna find out," she answered.
"Oh, boy," Zeb muttered to himself as Hera flew the Ghost towards the Relentless.
"Sir, a second rebel ship is attacking our flank," an Imperial officer reported to Konstantine as he approached him and another Imperial officer at the holotable of the Relentless' Bridge which displayed the Star Destroyer, Sato's command ship approaching them from behind.
"Let the fighters deal with it. Keep your focus on capturing the command ship," Konstantine responded.
"Commander Sato, we're gonna break you free from the tractor beam," Hera said on the comm system of Sato's command ship.
"Phoenix Leader, I gave you a direct order to retreat," Sato protested.
"Just be ready to hit your thrusters," Hera told him as TIE fighters began to follow and fire upon the Ghost as the Corellian VCX-100 light freighter was approaching the Relentless' tractor beam as she began to fire the torpedoes at the tractor beam, only to miss as one of the TIE fighter's laser cannons were fired at the top of the Ghost, causing to lose balance from hitting the tractor beam with it's torpedoes, "You know this would probably be easier if you were up here or if Sabine was here."
"You know that's more of Sabine's specialty," Zeb responded before he covered his eyes with his arms as he saw that Hera was flying the Ghost towards the tractor beam, "What are you doing? What are you doing?" Just as he asked that, she rammed the Ghost towards the tractor beam with the Ghost on its side with the tractor beam falling onto one of the TIE fighters, destroying the TIE fighter instantly.
"Did we get it?" Hera asked Zeb.
"We got it," Zeb answered as he exhaled with relief.
"Commander, we're free," one of the pilots of Sato's command ship reported to Sato as the command ship was free from the Relentless' tractor beam as it was destroyed.
"Get us out of here, now," Sato ordered.
"So what are we going to do, rendezvous with the fleet or heading to Lothal with Kanan, Satele and Sabine?" Zeb asked Hera.
"We stay with the fleet," Hera answered as the Ghost and the rebel fleet left Garel and jumped to Hyperspace.
"Admiral, Agent Kallus would like to know the enemy's position," an Imperial officer told Konstantine as he, Konstantine and the other Imperial officer were standing at the holotable on the Relentless' Bridge where the Star Destroyer was still being displayed on it.
"So would I," Konstantine told him.
"You both have to admit it's good to see no Star Destroyers over Lothal for a change," Kanan told both of his Padawans as they stood up behind him as the Phantom exited Hyperspace as it neared Lothal and began to approach the planet.
"Yeah, it is," Sabine said, agreeing with her master before realizing that her twin has been quiet for some time, "Why so quiet, Sat?"
"Thank you both for everything you've done for me," Satele said as she finally spoke since the Phantom exited Hyperspace and left Garel, "You both are always there when I need either of you most."
"No problem, Sat," Sabine told her, "That's what family's for isn't it?"
"She's right, Satele," Kanan said, agreeing with Sabine, "Besides, I know what it's like to lose someone close and not have anyone."
"I was the same way, Sis after our family disowned me after I escaped from the Imperial Academy on Mandalore after I destroyed the weapon I built that destroys Beskar and was even more so after Ketsu left me for dead till I met Kanan, Zeb and Hera," Sabine added.
"When I lost my master, I was alone. Regardless of how this turns out I didn't want you to be as you've known the Bridgers' since you both were five, Satele, especially since you have Sabine here to help you out no matter what happens," he told her before he flew that Phantom to Capital City on Lothal before landing the shuttle on a building as its wings back up as the three of them exited the Phantom as the rear hatch opened as both Mandalorians placed their helmets back over their heads.
"So, where do we start?" Sabine asked her sister as Kanan followed them out of the Phantom as he closed the Phantom's rear hatch.
"The Bridgers' house," Satele answered.
"They burned it to the ground," Satele said as they reached the Bridgers' house.
"I guess the Empire wanted to send us a message," Kanan surmised.
"I was thinking the same thing, Kanan," Sabine said, agreeing with him.
"But my vision sent me back to Lothal," Satele said after she sighed faintly, "If Mira and Ephraim Bridger aren't here, where are they? What happened to them?"
"Maybe it was so you can find out what happened to them here," Sabine suggested.
"Sabine's probably right but you should slow down. The Force is trying to tell you something," Kanan said, agreeing with Sabine as he placed his hand over Satele's armor's left pauldron, causing her to turn to him, "Listen to it."
Satele closed her eyes as he said that and focused on her vision before being interrupted as she heard a meow, causing her to reopen her eyes before seeing a white Loth-cat jump up from the hatch.
"The white Loth-cat," Satele said as she began to quietly approach the Loth-cat and went pet it as it purred and meowed at her, "Here. Nice Loth-cat. Good Loth-cat. I'm not here to hurt you, but you know that, don't you? Who do you belong to?" But as she asked that, the Loth-cat jumped onto the ruins of the house and meowed, "After it!"
"And we're chasing Loth-cats now," Kanan muttered as he rolled his eyes, causing Sabine to giggle a bit as they saw Satele beginning to chase the Loth-cat as it ran from her before they began to follow her, when the Loth-cat jumped onto crates before jumping onto a metal awning-like object that was connected to a building before jumping yet again onto the rooftop of another building.
"Fast little fuzzball," Satele muttered before she continued to chase the Loth-cat as she used the Force to jump onto the building above them as the Loth-cat leaped across onto a building across from the one that it was on before she leaped onto the building as well, before the Loth-cat jumped onto the ground before jumping onto a tapestry. Satele jumped from the building as the Loth-cat landed on its feet as it landed on the ground and chased it as pedestrians of a human female and a male Rodian watched before she saw the Loth-cat disappeared as a speeder carrying crates passed her by, "Karabast!" She then looked around before seeing the Loth-cat jump onto the back of a speeder bike that looked like Prisoner X-10 was driving the speeder bike as she saw him in the driver's seat and began to run towards them, "Hey!" The speeder bike then took off before she could reach it, "Hey, stop! Stop! Wait! Stop!"
"Will you be more careful?" Kanan said as he and Sabine approached Satele from behind, "You know there are still stormtroopers around."
"He's right, Sis. There are still stormtroopers patrolling the city," Sabine said, agreeing with her master.
"Don't you both worry, OK? I can track it," Satele told them.
"What?" Kanan said in disbelief, "The… The cat? You've grown powerful if you can track that Loth-cat with the Force?"
"You can track living things with the Force?" Sabine said with shock.
"Yeah, you can if you're powerful enough, Sabine," Kanan confirmed.
"The Force?" Satele repeated as she turned around towards him, "I planted a tracker on it, Kanan."
"Of course, you did," Kanan muttered.
"That was a smart thing to do, Sis," Sabine told her.
With that said, they began tracking the Loth-cat as Kanan flew the Phantom towards the mountains of Lothal before they suddenly heard beeping from the console as they were nearing the location of the tracker.
"The locator stopped up ahead in the mountains," Kanan told both of his Padawans.
"This is it," Satele said before the Phantom landed towards the ground with the Loth-cat standing nearby before running away as Kanan, Satele and Sabine emerged from the Phantom, "Something familiar about this."
"Hey. Our friend from the market," Kanan said, placing his hand on Satele's armor's left pauldron as he saw the speeder bike.
"Yeah, that's the same speeder that we saw in the market," Sabine said, agreeing with Kanan when they suddenly heard blaster bolts as it hit the top of the Phantom.
"Get down!" Kanan ordered both Mandalorians as they hid behind a boulder-like wall before Satele looked to her side and gasped as she saw who was firing at them with a blaster rifle before he fired at her again, luckily she was quick enough and hid back behind the wall with her sister and Kanan.
"It's him," Satele told them before calling out to the person who was firing at them, "X-10? Hold your fire! We're friends!" But as she said that the person who was firing at them fired their blaster rifle yet again.
"Yeah, that'll do it," Kanan muttered, sarcastically.
"He's right. That won't work at all," Sabine said, agreeing with Kanan.
"That isn't my name, bounty hunter," the person that was firing at them with a blaster rifle said with a deep masculine voice.
"I know that's not your name," Satele told him before walking away from the wall and cover before the man went to fire at her again, only for him to miss.
"Satele!" Sabine called out to her.
"Satele, no!" Kanan warned her at the same time.
"My name is Satele. Satele Wren. I don't know you but I think you might know the people who watched over me since my father left me on Lothal when I was five, Mira and Ephraim Bridger. I'm their ward," Satele told the man as she took off her helmet, causing the man to lower his blaster rifle.
"My name is Ryder Azadi," the man said, introducing himself as he took off his hat, "You're right. I do know Mira and Ephraim Bridger.
Hours later, it was dark out as Satele, Sabine and Kanan sat in Ryder's place with Chopper sitting next to them while Ryder sat across from them.
"I can't believe you're here, Satele," Ryder told Satele with surprise, "I wanted to find you, but I guess you found me first but even if I found you first I wouldn't be sure if you were you or your sister. Luckily both of you are here."
"I know you, don't I?" Satele asked him as he looked vaguely familiar to her.
"Uh, you remember?" He asked her, "You were just a little kid back then. I was the governor of Lothal. I supported the Bridgers' and the messages they beamed out against the Empire. It was part of the reason I was accused of treason and sent to prison with them."
"I do remember," Satele told him as she remembered who he was, "Then you know what happened to Mira and Ephraim."
"Yes, I do," he answered in a regretful tone.
"They're dead, aren't they?" She asked him.
"I'm sorry. They are," he confirmed as he closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry as well, Satele," Sabine told her twin as she went to comfort her.
"Please tell me what happened," Satele requested after sighing for a few seconds.
"You know, even imprisoned, the Bridgers' would stand up for those who couldn't. Especially after they heard your message," Ryder began to explain, causing Satele to gasp, "Yes. That message. That message of rebellion to free the planets of the Empire including the planet of your people that you beamed somehow made it's way into the deepest dark of Imperial prisons. They were inspired by it, Satele. They rallied others to rise up and break up. Dozens of us, rebels, sympathizers, are free, thanks to them."
"But they didn't make it," Satele added.
"They got separated in the escape. It was just like them not to leave until everyone else got out first. But by then, it was too late," Ryder finished.
"It reached the prison they were imprisoned in?" Satele asked, "I know it reached my home planet of Mandalore, my ancestral home of Krownest and Mandalore space, but it reached the Imperial prisons?"
"It did," Ryder confirmed, "I'm glad it did or else I would still be in prison. Wish I could say the same for Mira and Ephraim."
"You know, they used to say it all the time when I was little after my father, Alrich gave me to them when I was five. 'Like your father, Alrich says, if we don't stand up, who will?'" Satele said before she began crying as both Kanan and Sabine comforted her as Chopper took his metal arm out from his dome and placed it on her armor's leg.
A while later, Satele was sitting alone on a cliff-like structure with her helmet on her lap, staring at Lothal's moons before she stood up and placed her helmet under her arm as she began to have a vision of the past when she was about seven or eight as she stood on the old comm tower outside of Capital City.
"It's beautiful, isn't it, Satele?" Ephraim asked.
"Yeah. So peaceful, unlike Mandalore," Satele answered.
"That is all going to change when the Empire arrives and we'll have to keep you even more hidden from them, like what your father told us," he told her.
"Why would you and Mira keep me hidden from them?" Satele asked him.
"It's something that your father told us to keep secret from you till the time is right, Satele," Mira answered, "And when you do he said that you'll probably see him, your mother, brother and sister again."
"Can you wait that long, Satele?" Ephraim asked her.
"Yes, I can," Satele answered.
"Remember Satele. Like your father says 'without hope we have nothing,'" Mira told her as her vision ended.
"Moons are setting," Satele heard Kanan say behind her before she turned around towards him, "It'll be morning soon."
"I saw them, Kanan," Satele told him as he walked towards her, "The Bridgers' they were right here. Talking to me, they somehow knew about my Force-sensitivity from my father. I… I can't explain how they were right here. It felt like a memory."
"The Jedi teach that life doesn't cease at death but merely changes form in the Force," Kanan explained, "The Bridgers' are alive inside you, Satele. They will be always and I suspect what you just witnessed was a memory from the past and that your father told them about your ability to use the Force."
Please favorite and review. Would you like me to continue adding the Imperial scenes or not?
