The Ghost jumped out of Hyperspace near the ringed planet of Geonosis, the planet where the Clone Wars started a year before Sabine and Satele were even born and they, along with Hera, Zeb and Chopper saw remnants of spherical construction shaped modules with debris orbiting the modules.
"Rebel intelligence was right," Satele said as she sat in the seat behind her sister, who was sitting in the Co-pilot's seat with Chopper sitting next to Satele as Zeb sat in the seat next to her, "The Empire was building something over geonosis."
"Yeah, but what?" Sabine asked her, "I've never seen an orbital construction field this big."
"The Geonosians made weapons back in the Clone War," Kanan told the twins from the Ghost's rear cannon, "Whatever they were up to, I'm betting we're not gonna like it."
"Must've been huge if they had to build it up here instead of down on the surface," Zeb surmised.
"Chopper, run a planetary scan," Hera requested her astromech as she turned to look at him before he grunted as he went to the astromech port and plug his scomp link into it.
"Good idea," Rex said from the Ghost's nose gun, "I know through experience the bugs down there don't take to unexpected guests."
"Do you feel it, Sis?" Sabine asked her twin as Chopper turned to them and grunted in a frustratedly manner as they all turned to him.
"You cross-wired?" Rex asked Chopper as he looked up at him with confusion, "There are billions of bugs on Geonosis. Scan again." Chopper then grunted a response.
"Yeah, I do, Sabine," Satele told her sister, "They're dead. All of 'em."
"I don't like any of this," Zeb told them as he looked at Satele.
"We don't know that for sure," Hera told them, "Let's check out that construction module."
With that said, the Ghost flew towards and landed inside the landing bay of the module in the center.
As the ship landed, Sabine grabbed her electro-staff that she had modified since Ahsoka gave it to her before she, Satele, Kanan, Zeb and Chopper went to Takobo when they stopped the Seventh and Fifth Brother from kidnapping Force-Sensitive children a few months ago as she and Satele placed their helmets over their heads as they went to climb down the ladder after Zeb climbed down the ladder as Kanan entered the cockpit.
"Keep it running in case things…" Kanan started to say.
"In case things go like they usually do?" Hera asked as she finished Kanan's train of thought.
"Pretty much, yeah," Kanan confirmed before sliding down the ladder and left the Ghost.
With that Kanan ran down the ramp of the Ghost and followed Satele, Sabine and Zeb into the module.
"What exactly are we looking for?" Zeb asked as they walked into a corridor as he held a flashlight in his hand as Satele activated her helmet's built-in flashlight.
"The primary data banks," Sabine answered, "They might have records of what the Empire was making."
"My gut tells me those data banks will be empty," Kanan told her as unbeknownst to them an Imperial R2 astromech droid spied on them and quietly beeped to itself.
"My gut tells me this is a trap," Zeb said when suddenly the R2 astromech droid plugged its scomp link into an astromech port in the corridor, causing a door to open, revealing a squad of stormtroopers as Kanan looked around and saw Kallus standing in another doorway, wearing his ISB helmet with two stormtroopers accompanying him.
"How perceptive," Kallus said as he cocked his bo-rifle.
Both Kanan and Satele ignited their lightsabers as the stormtroopers began firing their E-11 blaster rifles as Sabine took both of her WESTAR-35s from their holsters and began firing them at the stormtroopers, while Zeb charged at Kallus as the door closed behind him.
"Lasats. Never know when to give up," Kallus taunted as their bo-rifles were in their electro-staff feature as they began to clash with one another.
"Specter-2, we're in the usual mess," Kanan said, taking out his comlink as the door behind him, where the R2 astromech droid was began to close, "Agent Kallus has joined us, and there's some droid out there locking down doors."
"Agent Kallus, how lovely," Hera muttered, sarcastically from the Ghost's cockpit.
"Chopper, go get that droid," Rex ordered Chopper from the Ghost's nose gun, who grunted as he rolled out of the cockpit before rolling down the ramp and into the landing bay as the ship lifted up a bit from the ground as Rex began firing the nose gun at AT-DPs that were stationed in the landing bay as they began to open fire upon the Ghost.
Chopper made a loud grunt-like sound as he rolled towards the Imperial R2 astromech droid and kicked the R2 astromech with one of his legs as he stood before him and made a victory pose with his metal arms before he went to plug his scomp link to reopen the closed door when suddenly the R2 astromech droid powered back up as it stood back up after rotating its legs in a circle and began to attack Chopper with it's own spark projector, which Chopper began to avoid.
"Come on, Chop. Get him!" Satele said, trying to encourage Chopper and with that, he pulled out his spark projector and stabbed the R2 astromech droid with it, disabling the droid before he plugged his scomp link back into the astromech port before the door finally reopened.
"Took you long enough," Kanan told Chopper with somewhat irritation in his voice as the door behind him, Sabine and Satele opened with Chopper grunting a reply as they backed towards him, while the stormtroopers continued to fire their blaster rifles at them.
"Zeb!" Satele called out to Zeb as she saw him battling Kallus in the section of the corridor across from them.
"We'll meet you at the ship!" Zeb reassured her.
"You heard him. Let's go," Kanan told her as they began to retreat back towards the Ghost as he deflected the stormtroopers' blaster bolts with his lightsaber, while Zeb pushed Kallus back with his bo-rifle as he roared at him.
Rex destroyed one of the AT-DPs as Kanan and both of his Padawans entered the Ghost.
"Specter-4, we're leaving," Satele said, contacting Zeb with her helmet's comlink as she aimed one of her arms at the AT-DPs as she stood on the Ghost's ramp and fired her vambrace's wrist rockets at them and destroyed them as rockets collided with both Walkers' pods as the rockets were fired from her vambrace, "Where are you?"
"Busy right now!" Zeb grunted, replying to the Mandalorian as he continued to battle Kallus with his bo-rifle before kicking him with his foot as he turned around as he aimed his bo-rifle's blaster at the ISB agent before turning around and fired it at a stormtrooper that was running towards him from behind in the helmet. He then roared as he charged at a group of stormtroopers that appeared from the opposite side of the corridor and began rushing towards him as he used his bo-rifle to swipe them aside.
"Zeb, where are you?" Satele asked yet again on Zeb's comlink as more stormtroopers with a stormtrooper commander leading them began to storm the corridor towards him.
"Specter-6, no need to wait," Zeb said as he began to retreat through the halls after he saw the squad of stormtroopers and the stormtrooper commander across from him, "I got my own ride outta here. Escape pod."
"What a day we're having," Hera muttered, sarcastically as Satele and Chopper entered the cockpit with Satele hopping on the co-pilot's seat as the Ghost began to leave the module, while the ship was being fired upon as Chopper grunted a response.
Back on the module, Zeb entered a room containing escape pods as the door to the room slid open before the Lasat clicked a button next to one of the escape pods, causing the hatch to open as he entered the escape pod and activated it as Kallus came up from behind and they started fighting as the escape pod was launched from the module.
"Zeb made it out," Satele said as she saw Zeb's escape being launched from the module as she looked through the cockpit's viewport before clicking the ship's comm system, "Zeb, you copy? Zeb?"
"He must've lost his comlink," Rex surmised as he grunted from the nose gun underneath her and Hera, "He's heading for Geonosis. We'll be able to find him."
"TIEs incoming," Hera announced as she saw three TIE fighters on the scanner as the TIE fighters began firing upon the Ghost as Kanan, who was sitting back in the Ghost's rear cannon, rotated the cannon around and shot one of the TIEs down.
Meanwhile back inside the escape pod, Zeb went to punch Kallus only for the ISB agent to block his attack and punched him back before Zeb kicked him forward with his legs as he knocked him to the floor, causing some of the escape pod's systems to spark, causing one of its rocket boosters to malfunction.
Kanan rotated the Ghost's rear cannon towards one of the modules rings as he saw AT-DPs standing on the ring as the Ghost continued to be chased by the two remaining TIE fighters as he fired the cannon on one of the AT-DPs, destroying it as it fell to the ground of the ring next to the other AT-DP before firing back at one of the TIEs, destroying it instantly.
The alarms inside the escape pod began blaring as the escape pod diverted from Geonosis and headed towards one of the planet's moons as Kallus began to pull the escape pod's control stick towards him as the escape pod got closer to the moon and saw that it was an icy world and they both screamed as it crashed through an icy floor on the moon, causing Kallus to break his leg in the process, who immediately shouted in pain, while Zeb was knocked unconscious.
Back in space, Hera rotated the Ghost upside down as she flew the ship through one of the module's landing bays as the last remaining TIE fighter continued to chase them as Sabine, who was sitting in the Phantom fired the shuttle's cannon at the TIE fighter, which spiraled out of control as its wings popped off and crashed into one of the walls of the module's landing bay with one of its wings flying towards and into a nearby AT-DP that was standing on the ring orbiting the module, destroying the AT-DP.
"Hey, Chop, you track Zeb's trajectory?" Satele asked Chopper as the Ghost began to fly away from the module and headed towards Geonosis before he grunted a response, "Yes, we want him back. Don't be a di'kut." She then pounded on his dome, "Find him." Chopper then grunted another response.
Inside the escape pod, Zeb regained consciousness and quickly stood up as he saw Kallus gasping and grabbed his bo-rifle and aimed it at the ISB agent as he groaned in pain as he held his hands over his injured leg as Zeb heard and saw this, he grabbed Kallus' bo-rifle as he opened the escape pod's hatch and threw it onto the snowy ground before him and went back in and began to grab his nemesis.
"What… What are you doing?" Kallus asked with confusion, wondering why Zeb was dragging him and yelped onto the ground as Zeb aimed his bo-rifle at him.
"I was just thinkin' how easy I could crush your head," Zeb said as he approached Kallus, who began crawling backwards in fear, "But… I'd rather wait for you to heal so we can finish our fight fair and square."
"You're expecting your rebel friends to come to your rescue?" Kallus asked as he chuckled, "Your friends fled. If anyone finds us, it'll be the Empire, and you will be captured."
"Well, that's not gonna happen," Zeb told him as he placed his bo-rifle on his back as he searched through the escape pod as Kallus went to crawl over the ground to reach his own bo-rifle only for Zeb to see this and stepped on it with his foot," That's not happening either." He then picked up Kallus' bo-rifle as he went back to searching through the escape pod.
"It'll be night soon," Kallus said as he sat up looking up at the planet of Geonosis through the hole above them that was created by the escape pod.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of the dark," Zeb teased as he turned around holding a portable heater in his hand and brought it over to him.
"It's not just going to get dark. It's going to get colder, too cold for this to keep us warm," Kallus explained as Zeb tapped the portable heater as it powered on.
"And here I thought Geonosis was a desert planet," Zeb retorted, chuckling as he thought they were on the planet of Geonosis.
"That is Geonosis," Kallus corrected the Lasat as he pointed at the planet hovering over the moon's atmosphere that they could see through the hole, "We are on one of it's moons, Bahryn." He then groaned as his leg went into pain again, "How is it you bested me even once?"
"Oh, get a sense of humor, Agent," Zeb retorted as he climbed back into the escape pod before coming back out a few seconds later with the escape pod's transponder in his hand.
"The transponder, probably damaged in the crash," Kallus said as he saw the transponder in Zeb's hand, "If you can repair it, reactivate it's signal, maybe the Empire will find us before we freeze." As he finished saying that, he heard a roaring sound in the distance, "Or worse."
"I'll take my chances with the cold and whatever we're sharing this hole with," Zeb told the ISB agent as he picked up his bo-rifle, "I know what happens to Lasat in an Imperial prison."
"You don't know much," Kallus told him as Zeb placed the transponder next to the portable heater, "Cooperate, and you'll get a trial."
"Right," Zeb chuckled, not believing him as he walked away from him when they suddenly heard the roaring from the distance again, causing Zeb to turn back towards Kallus and picked the portable heater back up to use as a lantern.
"You better decide soon," Kallus warned the Lasat.
"We should make another sweep," Satele sighed as she, her sister as their master was in the Phantom as they were looking for Zeb near Geonosis, but were heading back towards the Ghost as they couldn't find him, "Maybe we missed him somehow."
"Bio-signs on the planet are still negative, and there was no sign of the pod anywhere on the surface," Kanan told both of his Padawans and Hera with the shuttle's comm system.
"What about its transponder?" Hera asked him from the Ghost with Rex sitting in the co-pilot's seat next to her in the cockpit.
"I checked all frequencies," Kanan answered on the Ghost's comm system, "Nothing."
"It's only a matter of time before Imperial reinforcements arrive," Rex said as he spoke up, "If We're not gone by then…"
"Well, then we need to work faster," Hera told him as she clicked a few buttons next to her on the console, "Widen all scans."
"What if he's not on Geonosis, but on one of it's fifteen moons instead?" Sabine asked on the comm system.
"Good suggestion, Sabine," Hera told her as she thought over the Mandalorian suggested, "But nevertheless, you three have to regroup with us."
"On our way," Kanan told her on the comm system.
"There. Fixed it," Zeb announced as he finished repairing the escape pod's transponder as he sat on the ground across from Kallus with the portable heater in front of them with a medpac next to the portable heater, "And I adjusted the frequency. Now anyone can pick up its signal."
"So? Maybe you won't die today, but the Empire will win," Kallus said after sighing as Zeb raised the transponder's antenna upwards, "Every day, we recruit more informers. Every day, we persuade rebel sympathizers to reconsider their allegiances."
"And every day, more beings get fed up with the Empire and join us," Zeb countered after grunting as he pulled the portable heater towards him, causing Kallus to reach towards it for a second when the portable heater began to make an electrical warbling sound and flickered a few times before powering itself off.
"It's power cell is… Frozen," Kallus explained, shivering as he crossed his arms to keep warmth, "And we'll be next." Zeb then turned around as he noticed a glowing yellow light from behind him before standing up, grabbing his bo-rifle and walked over to it to see what the light was, "What… Where are you going? What are you doing over there?"
"Huh. It's warm," Zeb said as he picked up a glowing yellow colored rock that was giving off heat from inside a geological-like structure that looked like it was giving off heat.
"What did you find? What is that?" Kallus asked him as the Lasat walked back over to him with the rock in his hand.
"I don't know, but it's warm. And it throws light," Zeb answered as he showed him the glowing yellow rock.
"Probably some kind of meteorite," Kallus surmised.
"Here. Warm yourself up," Zeb said, throwing the rock to Kallus, which the ISB agent caught when suddenly they heard the distant roaring yet again, causing Zeb to aim Kallus' bo-rifle towards the epicenter of the roar.
"You really think we'll survive, with whatever that is in here?" Kallus asked him, "Plus the temperature's dropping, and our only heat source is this thing. And who knows how long it'll last?"
"You're so quick to give up hope," Zeb said as he picked the transponder back up, "Like I said, the transponder is working. My friends will find us."
"The transponder's signal will never get through the ice," Kallus stated.
"Huh. Yeah, you're probably right," Zeb said, realizing that the ISB agent had a point as he looked up at the surface through the hole, "But Lasat never know when to give up, remember? We'll just climb this to the surface. Simple."
Zeb stabbed Kallus' bo-rifle into the ground as he climbed up a steep section of the ground within the cave they were trapped in with Kallus looking at his bo-rifle, while Zeb climbed up the cave's icy wall only for him to soon lose his grip and fall of from the wall.
"You're going to hurt yourself," Kallus warned him as he stood up as he held onto the escape pod's hatch.
"Will you just shut up?" Zeb asked him, groaning as he got back up and went to climb the icy wall again, only for him to fall again as he shouted, causing Kallus to chuckle as Zeb pounded his fist into his palm as he began to approach him, "How'd you like a few more broken bones?" Zeb then heard a loud growl from behind him and turned to see a massive quadrupedal creature with a plated spine, horned mouth, axe shaped jaws called a bonzami, "Like this day couldn't get any better."
The Bonzami growled again, but this time in Zeb's face and began to chase him, while Kallus hopped slowly to where his bo-rifle was and had his back to the steep section of the ground as he watched Zeb trying to fight off the bonzami as the creature began to tower over him as he grabbed his bo-rifle from his bac and began to fire at the creature with it before he got back on his feet as he began to run back towards the escape pod, while Kallus picked up his bo-rifle and aimed it at Zeb before aiming it at the bonzami and aimed it back at Zeb and then back at the bonzami yet again before going forward as Zeb climbed into the escape pod and placed his hands over the side of his head, only to hear blaster bolts as the bonzami was about to grab him from the escape pod to eat him, Zeb then looked out of the escape pod as the bonzami retreated from the escape pod and saw Kallus firing at the bonzami with his bo-rifle before hiding behind a pillar-like object nearby for a split second before firing upon the bonzami from the opposite side of the pillar, while the bonzami began to approach Kallus from the side of another pillar as Zeb gout out of the escape pod and shouted as he began firing his bo-rifle at the bonzami, causing it to screech as it began retreating back through the hole it came from.
"Karabast! What was that?" Zeb asked after the bonzami retreated back to where it came from.
"Don't know, but it's probably going to come back," Kallus answered.
"Yeah, and it's probably gonna bring its friends," Zeb said, agreeing with his nemesis.
"That is the order of things," Kallus stated as they began to walk back to the escape pod, "The strong survive, the weak perish."
"Is that what happened on Geonosis?" Zeb asked as Kallus sat down on the ground next to the meteorite that Zeb gave him to keep warmth, "The weak needed to perish?"
"The only thing I know about Geonosis is that the population is gone," Kallus answered, "I never asked questions."
"Well, maybe you should start," Zeb retorted as he turned around towards him, "Or are you afraid of the answers you'll get? Afraid you'll learn the Geonosians were wiped out by your precious Empire?"
"And why would we do that?" Kallus asked with disbelief, "What could possibly be the point?"
"Ah, good questions," Zeb muttered, "Chase the answers, and maybe you'll learn the truth."
"You know, you'll never get out of here without my help," Kallus told him.
"You're in no shape to help anybody," Zeb told him as he chuckled before picking up the medpac from the ground near him before shoving it into Kallus' hands.
"I can tell you exactly how to climb out of here," Kallus told him.
"All right. We'll work together," Zeb said as he realized that Kallus was right and picked up Kallus' bo-rifle and pulled it's butt out before pulling it back inwards and aimed it forward, "I see you modified it for close quarters fighting. Impressive." He then placed it back on the ground, "But you shouldn't have it. It's not a trophy. Now hold still." With that said, he groaned and grunted as he opened the medpac up before wrapping the bandages from the medpac around Kallus' right thigh with his bo-rifle attached to the bandages.
"I didn't take it as a trophy," Kallus admitted as he used the hole from the inside of the escape pod to help him stand up, "The Lasat guardsman I faced… He fought well, died with honor. He gave me the rifle before…"
"The Boosahn Keeraw," Zeb said as he realized how Kallus gained his bo-rifle.
"The what?" Kallus asked him with confusion.
"The Boosahn Keeraw, Lasat warrior way. When one is defeated by a superior foe, he gifts his weapon," Zeb explained as he pulled his bo-rifle towards him like the Lasat guardsman did when Kallus defeated him.
"I was… I was only doing my duty," Kallus told him with remorse in his voice, "It was nothing personal."
"Yeah, well, what the Empire did on Lasan, I'll never forget it," Zeb told him.
"We all have things we won't forget," Kallus said, agreeing with him as Zeb placed his bo-rifle on the ground, "I remember my first unit. The boys and I were deployed to Onderon to bring peace and security to a troubled world. We were on a routine patrol and ran into one of your rebel friends, a Lasat mercenary who worked for Saw Gerrera. I was lucky, knocked out by the first blast. I came to, but found I couldn't move. And then I saw him, the Lasat, calmly walk through smoke and fire to finish my unit off, one by one. The injured never had a chance. Always wondered why he let me live."
"Well, you can't judge all Lasats as the same," Zeb told him.
"Does that sentiment apply to Imperials?" Kallus asked him as Zeb picked his bo-rifle up.
"All the Imperials I know," Zeb answered as he held his bo-rifle with both of his hands.
"I'll take that for you, for the climb," Kallus offered, only for Zeb to throw his bo-rifle through the hole along with the meteorite and transponder as he didn't fully trust him.
"We'll get it when we reach the top. Time to go," Zeb told him before Kallus climbed onto his back.
"Hold it. Don't climb the walls," Kallus reminded him, "Go up the pillars."
"What? Pillars will never hold my weight, never mind yours added on," Zeb said with disbelief as he was skeptical of what Kallus just suggested.
"They hold up this cave, don't they?" Kallus pointed out when they suddenly heard the bonzami roaring in the distance again.
"If you're wrong, I'm feeding you to that thing," Zeb warned him.
"Fair enough" Kallus said, agreeing with him as Zeb walked up the steep section of the ground with Kallus on his back.
Zeb panted as he began to climb up one of the pillars but began to lose his grip a bit as he climbed up the pillar.
"This is a terrible idea," Zeb complained as he continued to climb up the pillar.
"Just climb," Kallus told him but Zeb stopped climbing as they heard the bonzami return as it roared but this time it came with another of its kind, "There are two of them!"
"Karabast!" Zeb swore as he saw the two bonzami approaching them.
"'Karabast. Karabast!' What does that even mean?!" Kallus asked him, not knowing what the Lasat term meant before Zeb lost his grip again for a second.
"Right now, it means you're a lot heavier than you look," Zeb answered before he continued to scale up the pillar.
"The goal is not to fall," Kallus told him when one of the bonzami grabbed his foot for a split second as Zeb reached the ceiling before letting go of the ISB agent's foot as Zeb grabbed onto a nearby smaller pillar sticking out from the ceiling, only for Kallus to suddenly lose his grip and began to fall before Zeb grabbed him by the leg with the bo-rifle with his right foot and begun to swing him from left to right.
"Hold still and hope this works," Zeb warned him.
"Hope? Hope what works?" Kallus asked him as Zeb grabbed his leg that was broken with his foot and activated Kallus' bo-rifle's pike and threw him at the ceiling of the cave across from him with the bo-rifle's pile sticking into the ceiling and Kallus went to reach up his leg.
"Whoa!" Zeb cried after laughing as he began to lose his grip and began to fall before he began to climb back up the pillar as it began to crack from pressure.
"No, no, no, no!" Kallus said with fear as his bo-rifle's pike began to slip loose from the ice and went to reach up towards his leg before stopping, "No, no, no, no, no!"
As this was happening, Zeb looked down at the bonzami below him and as he let go of the pillar, he landed on the nose of the bonzami and it opened it's mouth, causing Zeb to jump on the other bonzami's back before jumping onto it's neck as the other bonzami lurched for him as he soon climbed onto the head of the bonzami that he was on, while Kallus screamed as he fell from the ceiling but Zeb was lucky enough to catch Kallus before throwing him onto the surface above them.
As Kallus landed on his stomach within the blizzard that was ravaging the moon's surface, he saw Zeb's bo-rifle, while Zeb jumped off of the bozami that he was standing on and grabbed onto the edge of the hole to the surface and saw Kallus holding his bo-rifle in his hand, aiming it at him.
"Karabast," Zeb swore before Kallus aimed the bo-rifle from Zeb to one of the bonzami and fired a blaster bolt at the creature before lending him a hand, which Zeb gladly accepted as Kallus helped him up before he fell next to Kallus on his knees as Kallus fell on his back.
"Better activate the transponder," Kallus suggested as Zeb stood up before he helped him up, "It's a lot colder up here. We won't last long."
"Yeah, but I'd rather freeze than be eaten," Zeb told him as he grabbed the meteorite before looking up at Kallus for a moment before he handed him back his bo-rifle as they left to find shelter.
"Let's hope it works," Kallus said as Zeb held the transponder in his hand as they sat in a small sheltered spot with the meteorite between them in the center of their sheltered spot, "Of course, since you adjusted it, we don't know who will pick up its signal."
"Guess all we can do is wait," Zeb said as he activated the transponder before placing it next to him, while they held their hands towards the meteorite, "Least we've got this to keep us warm."
"Still think your friends will find you?" Kallus asked him.
"Unless the Empire gets here first," Zeb answered.
"On Lasan… It… It wasn't supposed to be a massacre," Kallus admitted after previously telling him that he did actually ordered the massacre that caused Lasan to fall after Satele met him, Hera, Kanan and was reunited with Sabine a week before he first battled him on Lothal after they stole the T-7 ion disruptors that the Empire was shipping to mass-produce them on Lothal before Satele, Sabine and R2-D2 destroyed the disruptors, "But I realized the Empire wanted to make an example. I know before, I took credit for it."
"What happened on Lasan, it's over for me," Zeb told him and decided not to tell him about Lira San because if he did the Empire might go to the planet after finding its coordinates and drive the Lasat people to near extinction again, "I've moved on. By the way, It's Zeb. My name, it's Zeb."
"Short for Garazeb," Kallus said, telling him that he knew what his name was short for, "I know."
Later, Kallus and Zeb were leaning against each other's backs as they slept and snored when Kallus suddenly woke up and was disgusted by this before Zeb woke up as well and elbowed each other when they suddenly heard a ship approaching outside their sheltered spot.
"That's a ship," Kallus said as he heard the ship.
"Yeah. But whose?" Zeb asked as he got up and lent a hand to help Kallus up, "Come on." Kallus accepted Zeb's hand and they slowly walked forward, out of their sheltered spot with Kallus holding the meteorite in his hand.
"Ah, your friends did find you," Kallus said as he saw the Ghost begin landing nearby.
"Like I said they would," Zeb said as the Ghost landed on the ground in the distance and turned to the ISB agent, "You know, we will treat you fairly."
"I'll take my chances with the Empire, Zeb," Kallus chuckled, declining the offer as he looked at Zeb as the Lasat placed his right hand over his left hand as he gave Kallus farewell with Kallus doing the same before Zeb left the ISB agent and headed for the Ghost.
"Ah! Zeb!" Satele said with relief as she, her sister, Kanan and Hera walked down the Ghost's ramp to greet him, while Rex and Chopper stayed on the ship.
"Zeb!" Sabine said, greeting him with relief as well.
"Told you he'd be fine," Kanan told both of his Padawans.
"Zeb, you made it!" Satele said as she placed a hand on his left shoulder.
"We picked up your beacon after Sabine suspected that you were on one of Geonosis' moons," Hera explained, "We were so worried."
"It wasn't so bad. We've all been in tighter spots. I knew you'd find me eventually," Zeb reassured them as he looked back at the area where he and Kallus took shelter.
"Yeah, all right. Come on, Zeb. If you stay out here any longer I think you'll get frostbite," Satele told him.
"Aren't you cold as well?" He asked her.
"Beskar protects us Mandalorians in extreme temperatures," Satele explained.
"I see," Zeb said as he knew what she meant, "But yeah, I've been in this cold temperature too long." The four of them then walked back up the Ghost's ramp before the ship took off with Kallus watching the Ghost leave as he held the meteorite in his hand.
A while later on an Imperial Star Destroyer, Kallus, who now had his bo-rifle removed from his right thigh as well as the bandages from the medpac that Zeb put around his thigh and bo-rifle walked through one of the halls after a blast door that he was standing in front of opened after being rescued by an independent trader, who picked up the transponder's signal and approached Konstantine, who was using a datapad as he walked towards him from another corridor as Kallus held his side as he was still in pain from his injured broken leg, "Admiral Konstantine."
"Agent Kallus," Konstantine said before walking away as if he didn't care that much about him and that he and the Empire wasn't even away that he was missing before Kallus left for his quarters and sat on his bed as the door closed behind him and placed the meteorite that Zeb gave him on the shelf next to him and behind his bed as he began to think about his experience with Zeb on Bahryn as he began to reevaluate his allegiance to the Empire.
