On Atollon, Chopper was pushing a loading dolly with several supplies with his metal arms in front of the Ghost as three A-wings flew around within the planet's coral mesa as Rau, who was wearing his Protectors' Mandalorian armor, which included a jetpack and a pair of vambraces on and was painted silver with gray, blue pauldrons that had some yellow on them and with some more blue around the wrists as he held his helmet under his arm, which was painted mostly blue with silver and a little streak of yellow as he walked towards the Ghost's ramp. Sabine noticed this as she stood in front of the Ghost, holding a datapad as Chopper transported the loading dolly past her as she stared at the Protector before Chopper grunted as he noticed that she was staring at Rau.
"All right, all right," she said before she went to help him with the supplies.
"You wanted to speak with me?" Rau asked Kanan as he entered Kanan's room and saw Kanan sitting on a stool-like object with his legs folded after the door slid open.
"I've got something to show you," Kanan confirmed as Rau sat on a bench in the room across from him and placed his helmet next to him.
"What's this about?" The Protector asked as Kanan grabbed the Darksaber, which was on his lap and showed it to him, "A lightsaber?"
"Not just any lightsaber," Kanan told him before igniting the Darksaber as a black blade appeared from the hilt and tilted it around a bit.
"It can't be," Rau muttered in disbelief and shock.
"So you recognize it?" Kanan asked him.
"That I do," Rau confirmed, "It is the Darksaber, a symbol for the leader of House Vizsla and later, the group known as Death Watch."
"I didn't know Mandalorians developed a type of lightsaber," Kanan admitted as he deactivated the Darksaber and handed it to him as Rau stood up and took it from him.
"We didn't. This was one of a kind. Legend tells that it was created over a thousand years ago by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian ever inducted into the Jedi Order," Rau began as he held the Darksaber in the air, igniting its blade, "After his passing, the Jedi kept the saber in their temple. That was until members of House Vizsla snuck in and liberated it, including Shae Vizsla, Manda'lor the Avenger when the temple was attacked by the Sith Empire at the end of the Great Galactic War when they sacked Coruscant before the start of the Galactic Cold War. They used the saber to unify the people and strike down those who oppose them. One time, they ruled all of Mandalore wielding this blade." He then deactivated the saber, "This saber is an important symbol to that house and respected by the other clans. I imagine that either Satele or Sabine was excited to recover it."
"It was Sabine who recovered it," Kanan said, oblivious to the fact that Satele gave it to Sabine before he huffed, "But you wouldn't know it. After we got back from Dathomir, she gave it to me for safekeeping and hasn't brought it up since."
"She doesn't want the responsibility," Rau realized before standing up, "Kanan, if Sabine can wield two lightsabers, she can unite one of the most powerful houses in all of Mandalore."
"You're talking about raising an army," Kanan stated.
"With Sabine leading it and Satele as her second-in-command," Rau confirmed.
Hours later, Sabine was sitting on her bunk of her and Satele's bed, which had an artwork above their bed that she created before she, Satele and Kanan went to Malachor with Ahsoka that included her when she had her hair dyed blue and green with her sister when she had her hair dyed blue and yellow as well that also had the rest of their team as she held her helmet in her arms and between her legs when the door to her and Satele's room suddenly slid open as Satele walked into their room.
"Sabine?" Satele said as Sabine looked at her.
"Yes, Sis?" Sabine asked her.
"Everyone including Rau is waiting for you in the common room," Satele informed her, "They sent me to get you."
"Alright. Let's get this over with," Sabine said as she stood up and placed her helmet down on her bunk of their bed as she followed Satele to the common room, where Kanan, Rau, Hera, Zeb, who had his arms crossed and Chopper were waiting for her, "I won't do it."
"So you do know what the Darksaber is?" Rau realized.
"I know it caused my and Satele's family nothing but trouble after Maul took it," Sabine explained.
"Maul used it to divide and conquer our people. You can wield it alongside your lightsaber to do the opposite," Rau told her.
"Wield two lightsabers?" Sabine said with disbelief, "You're crazy. Kanan, tell him he's crazy."
"Consider what he has to say?" Kanan offered.
"What?!" Everyone but Rau and Satele asked him at the same time.
"I don't think it's a coincidence the saber came into your possession," Kanan said as he held the Darksaber in his hand.
"I agree with them, Sis," Satele told her sister, "But you currently don't have the capacity to wield it."
"Go on," Sabine urged her sister.
"I mean, you can wield a lightsaber just fine, Sis, but you still haven't learned Jar'kai, the lightsaber combat form to wield two lightsabers that I learned to wield after Ahsoka's death on Malachor and took me a few weeks to master and the same would probably be the same for you," Satele explained.
"She might not be able to wield two lightsabers yet but she can learn to be proficient to do so," Kanan told Satele.
"I am proficient with lightsabers, blades, blasters and explosives, but that is more different than any other lightsaber ever created," Sabine argued.
"The combat training to wield two lightsabers is not as important as what the blade represents," Rau stated.
"Right, right, you want me to lead my clan with Satele as my second-in-command. I don't know if you realize this but I'm not that popular with my family these days and not sure about Satele for training to become a Jedi like I have," Sabine told him.
"That can change," Rau assured her.
"No it can't!" Sabine snapped, "You don't know what you're talking about."
"I know that family is important to the Wrens just like it is to all Mandalorians," Rau said as he walked towards her and placed his hand over her armor's left pauldron.
"I have a family, here on this ship besides Satele. We don't need them," Sabine said as she pushed his arms off of her armor's pauldrons and crossed her arms.
"But we do. If there's a chance that you can rally an army of Mandalorian warriors with Satele to our cause I have to ask you to do this," Hera spoke up as she stood up.
"Hera," Sabine said with disbelief as Hera walked towards her.
"Family history can be painful. Believe me, I know," Hera told her, reminding her about her history with her father, "But we can use those warriors for our attack on Lothal."
"Hera's right. We need you to do this, but that doesn't mean you have to," Kanan told Sabine as he held the Darksaber out towards her, "You can walk away and forget about it."
"All right. I'll do it," Sabine relented as she went to grab the Darksaber from him after sighing, "Just give me the saber."
"Listen. Once people know you have it, you will be challenged," Kanan warned her, "You'll need to be able to wield two lightsabers in order to wield the saber."
"OK, I'll try my best," Sabine assured him.
"First lesson, Sis, don't try. Just learn," Satele told her.
"Give me the sword," Sabine ordered Kanan, "I'm gonna learn to duel you in a-"
"Sabine," Kanan said, calming her down.
"OK," Sabine said as she calmed down and took the Darksaber as she held it in her hand.
A while later, Sabine was sitting in the back seat of a land speeder with Satele in the front, piloting the speeder with Kanan sitting next to her.
"Hey, why can't we practice back at the base?" Sabine as the landspeeder they were on flew through the planet's coral mesa.
"It's better out here. Fewer distractions. Keeps your mind focused," Kanan explained.
"And as you know, Sis, it's safer for everyone else. You'll do less damage," Satele added.
"I'll damage you if you don't shut up," Sabine threatened in a teasing tone.
They soon arrived at one of the places that the Bendu hides at, at the one where Kanan met him and after they set up three tents and a communications system in the area, both Sabine and Satele carried a box before setting it down as Satele sat on it as Sabine sat on another box and sighed as sighed as she spoke to Kanan, "When are the two of you gonna teach me to wield two lightsabers?"
"About now," he answered as he grabbed an electrostaff and tossed it to Satele.
"Uh, try not to sound excited," Sabine muttered, sarcastically as she stood up as he tossed her an electrostaff as well, which she caught, "Hey, why did you hand me an electrostaff?"
"Because, I think it's too early for you to wield the Darksaber," he answered as Satele stood up and placed her hands over her hips, "And I want to see how much you've learned since Malachor."
"Okay," Sabine said as she stretched as she placed her electrostaff behind her neck, which made a cracking sound before she grabbed her lightsaber from her armor's belt and ignited it as Kanan did the same with his lightsaber before she then charged at him and went to clash her saber with his, only for him to evade her and extend his arm out as he used the Force to push her back, causing her to let go of her lightsaber and the electrostaff that she was holding.
"Oh!" Satele exclaimed.
"As you know, that might work on a stormtrooper but not me," he told her, causing her to grab her lightsaber and the electrostaff that he provided for her and charged at him again, only for him to evade her again as he grabbed the edge of her electrostaff as he kneed her in the stomach and soon elbowed her as she went to attack him again, causing her to drop both her lightsaber and electrostaff that he provided for her again as she soon fell down on her news before hitting her in the back with his electrostaff before placing it in front of her neck as he moved it upwards as she looked up at him, panting, "And that's your head. As you know, every mistake you make is a limb lost. The blade is never at rest."
"OK, let's go again," Sabine sighed as she got back on her feet.
"No, you better practice with your sister first," Kanan sighed as he handed his electrostaff to Satele as he took the electrostaff that he provided for Sabine.
"All right," Satele said as she began to walk towards Sabine as she grabbed one of her lightsabers from her armor's belt and handed it to Sabine.
"Why?" Sabine asked him as he walked away.
"Satele, walk her through the forms of wielding two lightsabers," Kanan told Satele.
"OK, ready position," Satele said as she grabbed her blue lightsaber from her armor's belt and ignited it and went into the ready position for wielding two lightsabers along with the electrostaff, "Sabine! Ready position?" Sabine stood next to her as she ignited both her saber and Satele's green lightsaber as she went into the same stance as her, "OK, great. Yeah, that's ready position. Now we go one, two,..." She then moved her blue lightsaber and electrostaff around as she stepped backwards with Sabine doing the same, "Hey, slow down, all right? You're not gonna learn this in one day."
"Sis," Sabine muttered.
"Ready," Satele repeated herself as she continued to teach Sabine one of the lightsaber combat forms of Jar'kai, "One… two… three…"
Days later, Sabine was swinging her lightsaber and her sister's green lightsaber as Satele was swinging her blue lightsaber and the electrostaff around as Kanan watched them from above when his comlink beeped.
"I read you, Hera," Kanan said as he took his comlink out.
"It's been a couple of days. I wanted to see how things are going," Hera told him on the commlink.
"Ugh, slowly. Satele's still taking her through the forms to wield two lightsabers with Sabine borrowing one of her sabers and Satele using an electrostaff," Kanan responded.
"Why aren't you letting Sabine wield the Darksaber yet?" Hera asked him as she sat in the nose gun.
"I'm being careful," he answered.
"Were you careful with them before?" Hera asked him, "I don't recall Satele fighting with an electrostaff while her sister uses a lightsaber."
"Well, I think it's too early for her to wield the Darksaber," Kanan explained.
"Or maybe she isn't as powerful as her sister with the Force you don't believe she can do this?" Hera suggested.
"No. She's nearly as strong as her sister is with the Force," Kanan argued, "She was blocked and her mind was conflicted for a long time before we went to the Jedi temple on Lothal with Ahsoka and is so expressive like Satele is and yet she was so tightly wound. They're both so…"
"Mandalorian," Hera finished for him.
"Uhh! Very," he said, agreeing with her.
"I'll be sending out supplies Hera told him as she watched Rau walk towards a speeder bike with supplies on the speeder bike from the nose gun, "Is there anything specific that you need?"
"Patience, understanding," Kanan answered.
"Hmm. I'll see what I can do," she told him.
Hours later, Sabine continued to clash her lightsaber and her sister's green lightsaber with Satele's blue lightsaber and the electrostaff that she was holding with Kanan watching his Padawans.
"That's not going to work," Kanan told Sabine.
"Working so far," she told him as she continued to clash her lightsaber and her sister's green lightsaber with her sister's blue lightsaber and the electrostaff that she was holding.
"I think you're doing well, Sis," Satele told her.
"Opinion noted," Sabine said before she continued to clash her lightsaber and her sister's green lightsaber with Satele's blue lightsaber and the electrostaff that she was holding against each other as Rau arrived with his helmet over his head on the speeder bike with the supplies and stopped next to Kanan as he removed his helmet as he hopped off the speeder bike and placed it on the speeder bike's seat.
"I've got your supplies," Rau told Kanan as he walked up to him as they watched Sabine clash her lightsaber and her sister's green lightsaber against Satele's blue lightsaber and the electrostaff that she was holding before Sabine jumped towards her, only for Satele to evade her sister's strike, causing Sabine to fall on her knees before turning around and saw her sister aiming her blue lightsaber at her, "You overcommitted."
"Oh, good. Anyone else have an opinion they want to share?" Sabine asked as she clashed her saber with her sister's after dropping her sister's other saber as she got back on her feet.
"Let's take a break," Kanan suggested as he walked forward as Sabine threw her sister's lightsaber to the ground in anger, "Satele, help unload these supplies."
"What? I won," Satele said with shock in her voice, "Shouldn't I get the break?" She then began to help unload the supplies after clipping her lightsabers back onto her armor's belt as Rau picked up a box from his speeder bike and began approaching Sabine.
"Word is, it's been tough going. I brought you something since you're partially in this mess on my recommendation," Rau told her.
"I'm sorry, partially?" She repeated, "How about completely?"
"To make up for that, you can have these," he told her, taking off the box's lid as he took out a pair of vambraces.
"Whoa! Mandalorian Vambraces like my sister's? Where did you get these?" She asked him as she took them from him.
"Try them on," he said as she placed her vambraces over her wrists, "Grappling line, paralyzing darts, repulsor. All designed to combat the abilities of a Jedi. But even though you have the ability to use the Force, I thought it would be best for you to have your own pair like your sister does. Go test them out with your sister."
She then picked her sister's lightsaber back up as she began walking towards her sister, who was talking to Kanan before she turned to Sabine and noticed that she had her own pair of vambraces as well now, "Looks like Rau gave you your own pair of Vambraces, Sis."
"Yeah he did," Sabine answered.
"Well then let's try them out," Satele said as she grabbed her blue lightsaber from her armor's belt and picked up the electrostaff and ignited her lightsaber as Sabine grabbed her lightsaber from her as she ignited her and Satele's green lightsaber as they went into a Jar'Kai ready stance with Satele rushing towards her blue lightsaber with Sabine's lightsaber before Sabine aimed her left vambrace at her and activated it's repulsor, causing a shockwave to knock Satele back a bit before she fired her own vambrace's repulsor at her as well, knocking her back a bit as well before they before Sabine fired another shockwave at her with her vambrace's repulsor, this time knocking her on her back.
"And that's your head," Sabine chuckled as she aimed her lightsaber at Satele's neck as Rau chuckled.
"Hey!" Kanan said, calling out to Sabine as she turned to face him, "Is this a game for you?"
"No game, just outsmarting my sister," Sabine answered, "Care to take a shot?" She then aimed her other vambrace at him, launching a grapple to tie him with it, surprising both Satele and Rau before Kanan grabbed his lightsaber and ignited and slashed it against the grappling line, breaking free from the grapple that was wrapped around his body and grabbed the end of the grappling line, pulling her towards him before the grapple was pulled back inside her vambrace and went to aim her lightsaber with his as he aimed his under her neck.
"History lesson. The Jedi led by your ancestor, Revan, won the war with Mandalore. These tricks will amount to something to something, maybe save you from time to time but they won't keep you alive in the long run," Kanan said as he began scolding her, "Only training… self control and focus will do that."
"The only thing I'm learning is that me and Satele must be really gifted Force-Sensitive Mandalorians to learn as much as we have from a lousy teacher like you!" Sabine yelled with anger as she got up as Kanan deactivated his saber before she gave Satele back her green lightsaber as she stormed off.
A while later, Sabine kicked a rock-like structure as she went to contemplate what Kanan told her as she sat on the rock-like structure and sighed as she looked at the sunset in the distance.
"Hey," she heard Satele call out to her as she slowly approached her.
"Now now, Sat," Sabine said, telling her sister that she wanted to be left alone.
"Look… I just wanted to say we both know what it's like. As you know Kanan's not the easiest teacher to have as he's been training you since we rescued him from Mustafar after the Empire captured him two years ago but… he means well," Satele assured her.
"I know, but does he? Do any of them?" Sabine scoffed, "I know how to fight and wield lightsabers. I believe I can wield two lightsabers and use that sword. I just don't want everything that comes with it."
"You mean our family?" Satele asked as Sabine stood up.
"As you know, I'm a disgrace to them, Sis. A traitor," Sabine reminded her.
"But that's not true," Satele argued, "You had no idea what the Empire would do with your weapon."
"To them it is," Sabine explained as she turned to her, "I don't want to talk about these things. How can I lead our people with you being my second-in-command? How can I go back to face them with us being Jedi?"
"I'm sorry, Bine," Satele said as she walked away, "Hopefully they'll be able to accept us as Jedi."
Sabine kicked the rock-like structure again as she began to walk away, only to stop as she sensed the rock-like structure moving and turned around and saw that it was the Bendu.
"Ah, Sabine Wren is it?" The Bendu asked her.
"Yeah," Sabine answered, "I didn't know that it was you that it was you that I was kicking."
"It's alright," the Bendu assured her, "But I sense that something's troubling you. Could you tell me what it is that's troubling you?"
"It's a long story," she answered.
"I have time to listen to your story," he told her.
"OK, so it begins years ago when I was a student of the Imperial Academy on Mandalore," Sabine said as she began to tell her story to the Bendu, "So that's it. What should I do?"
"If I were you, I would accept your master's advice," the Bendu answered.
"I was afraid you were gonna say that," she told him as she began to leave, "I'm gonna apologize to him for my outburst in a bit. But thanks for the talk, Bendu."
"No problem, Sabine Wren," the Bendu told her as she began to walk away from him.
"Teaching Satele wasn't easy back when you only taught her but you did it well. I'm sure you'll find a way to get through to Sabine," a hologram of Hera, who had her arms crossed assured Kanan as he used the communications system holocommunicator to contact her back at the camp.
"It's not the same. When I was only teaching Satele, she had a grudge against Jedi, but has gotten over it but after she did, she was eager to learn," Kanan responded before chuckling, "Sometimes too eager. I was the one holding back."
"And that's not what you're doing now?" Hera asked him.
"No," he answered.
"And yet you still won't let her train with the Darksaber," Hera went on.
"Look, like Satele, Sabine is a capable warrior, but sometimes she can't… or won't find balance within herself," Kanan explained, "Until she does, wielding the Darksaber is far too dangerous as it's different from any other lightsaber ever constructed."
"By letting her pretend with one of her sister's lightsabers you're only encouraging her not to commit to this," Hera told him.
"You're not listening to me. If I let her use the Darksaber, she will get hurt," Kanan stated.
"She's already hurt. Her family on Krownest hurt her more than any sword could. You don't see that she doesn't want you to," Hera told him.
"But you can?" He asked her.
"Because I know what it's like when people you love don't believe in you when they let you walk away or in Sabine's case after she had her trial on Krownest," Hera answered, recalling her estranged relationship with her father before they reunited a year ago, "Remember how how it was for her to trust us."
"Hmm. What do you want me to do?" Kanan asked as he sighed and placed his hands over his hips as she lowered her arms.
"Give her the sword," Hera answered, "Let her own it and who she is. Help Sabine face her demons like how she did when she went to the Jedi temple on Lothal with you, Satele and Ahsoka."
"I don't know," he sighed.
"I know you don't. But this isn't about you," she reminded him.
Hours later, it was dark as Kanan, who had his mask off as he sat in the center of the camp with his legs folded and the Darksaber in front of him as he had one of Satele's lightsabers clipped to his belt as Satele and Rau sat near each other on boxes drinking caff.
"I didn't think she'd be gone this long," Satele told Rau, "Believe me I'm her sister, I never expected her to be gone this long."
"She'll return," Rau assured her, "Then we'll see."
"I know she can do it, but it just seems like Kanan is asking her to learn everything to wield two lightsabers at once," Satele told him after he drank some of his caff as she poured more of the caff into her cup, "She just needs more time."
"Time is a luxury, one the galaxy seems to be running out of," Rau said before drinking his cup of caff when Satele turned around and saw her sister standing on top of the hill.
"She's back," Satele announced as she slowly walked down the hill towards Kanan with her arms crossed.
"I owe you an apology," Kanan told her.
"I can say the same," she responded as he stood up as he grabbed the Darksaber and held it out for her, "Uh, maybe I should practice more with one of my sister's lightsabers first."
"Take it. It's yours," he said as she took it from him as she grabbed her lightsaber from her armor's belt, "Ignite the blade."
"Whoa!" She muttered as she ignited the Darksaber's black blade and moved it around before igniting her lightsaber's blue blade, "The Darksaber's more heavier than I thought."
"As you know, energy constantly flows through the crystals of lightsabers," Kanan reminded her, "You're not fighting with simple blades as much as you are directing a current of power. Your thoughts, your actions, they become energy. They flow through the crystal as well, and become a part of the blade." He then grabbed his and one of Satele's lightsabers from his belt and ignited them with Satele and Rau watching, "The blades will be drawn to each other." He then went to strike both Sabine's lightsaber and the Darksaber, "Block high. There's pull. Can you feel it? That sword is old, heavy, but powerful. Respect its strength like you do with your lightsaber." He then moved both his and Satele's lightsabers downwards, "Block low." The four sabers clashed downwards and clashed with each other again as they intertwined in the direction that Kanan directed her to, "High. Middle… high. Low… middle. Good. Let's work on a series. Are you ready?"
"Yes," she answered.
"Remember the forms your sister taught you," Kanan reminded Sabine as he took the ready position, "Take ready position." She then took a ready position, "We'll start slow." They began to strike the sabers against one another as they swung at each other in different Jar'kai lightsaber combat forms, "One… two… three… four… five… six… Faster. One, two, three, four, five, six." They then began clashing the sabers at a faster pace, "One, two, three, four, five, six." She then fell on her back as the Darksaber and her lightsaber deactivated themselves as he aimed his lightsaber at her, "You're making it easy for me. Ready position." She stood back up as she reignited her lightsaber's blue blade and the Darksaber's black blade as he went to strike her lightsaber and the Darksaber again, "One, two, three, four, five, six."
"The Darksaber's blade feels lighter like my lightsaber does," she told him.
"You're connecting with it. It's becoming a part of you like your lightsaber is," he explained as they continued to clash blades before she rushed past him, "But remember you cannot rely solely on the blades." This comment, caused her to charge at him to stab him with one of the lightsabers she was holding, only for Kanan to evade her strike before she turned around and faced him, "You must use all your skills together. Ready position." They then clashed the blades against each other yet again, causing Kanan to knock the Darksaber out of her hand, which fell on the ground in the distance as she was still holding her lightsaber in her hand. "You'll have to be better." She then used her vambrace's grapple to grab the Darksaber.
"Whoa," Satele said with amazement as she stood up.
Sabine reignited her lightsaber and the Darksabers' blades as she and Kanan clashed the blades of the lightsabers they were holding yet again before he kicked her to the ground with his foot as she grunted out in pain as he slashed his lightsaber's blade against one of her vambraces, damaging it as Satele tried to go to her, only for Rau to stop her as Sabine dropped the Darksaber and her lightsaber.
"You're not fighting me, you're fighting yourself… and losing," Kanan told Sabine as he deactivated his and one of Satele's lightsabers after aiming his saber's blade at her as she picked her lightsaber and the Darksaber back up and reignited their blades as she grunted angrily as she went to strike him, only for him to evade her strike, "You're not committed to this. You should quit."
"I don't quit. I never quit!" She stated, angrily as she went to strike him again, only for Kanan to quickly evade her again.
"Really? That's not what it looks like," he said as he pushed her arms back as he continued to evade her strikes, "You did run after your trial on Krownest, didn't you?"
"No!" She yelled as she went to stab him with the Darksaber, only for Kanan to grab her arm, stopping her.
"But that's what your and Satele's people believe, isn't it?" He stated before she growled as she used the Force to jump free from his grasp across from him, "You ran from the Empire. You ran from your family on Krownest."
"Lies!" She argued.
"So what's the truth?!" He asked her with an angry expression and he reignited his and one of Satele's lightsabers again as the sabers clashed with Sabine's lightsaber and the Darksaber again.
"The truth… is that… after my trial I left to save everyone," she admitted as she began clashing her lightsabers and the Darksaber with his and one of Satele's lightsabers before removing them from the saber lock before clashing them with Kanan's and one of Satele's lightsabers again, "My mother! My Father, who is now imprisoned! My brother! And my twin sister! Everything I did was for family… for Mandalore! As you know I've built weapons, terrible weapons that can disintegrate Beskar, the core and tradition of our people but the Empire used them on three of our mother's cousins, Gurney, Dunken and Kumara and six of our fellow Clan Wren warriors. Me and Satele knew them before Father left her with the Bridgers on Lothal. They controlled us through fear," she then scoffed, "Mandalore! Fear of weapons I helped create. I helped enslave our people!" They then entered another saber lock for a second after Satele gasped at who Sabine's weapon killed when she was part of the Imperial Academy on Mandalore, "I wanted to stop it. I had to stop it. I spoke out! I spoke out to save them. To save everyone!" She then kicked him towards the bottom of the hill and held her lightsaber and the Darksaber up as if she was about to strike him down, "But when I did…" Kanan held his hand in front of his face as she continued, "My family didn't stand with me and put me on trial. They chose the Empire." She swung both sabers down, but not to kill him, "Gave me no choice." She then deactivated both her lightsaber and the Darksaber as she went to sit next to him as her voice began to break with emotion, "The Empire wanted to destroy worlds. And they did. They destroyed mine and Satele's." She then began to cry.
"The Empire rules with fear. And not everyone can be as strong as you've been," Kanan assured her, "Your and Satele's family are in a prison, one of their own making. It's up to both of you to help them out of it."
"But how? Why…Why would they believe me?" Sabine asked as she stood up, "Why would they follow me and Satele?"
"I know this might not be what you want to hear," Rau said as she and Satele began walking towards her, "But for what it's worth… I would follow you." He then bowed down towards her.
"So would I, Sis," Satele chimed in as she began bowing down towards her, "Not just as your sister or your fellow Mandalorian, but as your second-in-command. And I mean it."
"You've come a long way in a very short time," Kanan told Sabine, "Where you go from here is up to you. But know that this family, including your sister will stand by you no matter what you choose."
