Ch 7

Shae was trapped in the towering Spire on the dark, cloudy world of Stygeon Prime and the Ghost crew sent Ezra and Kanan to rescue her.

They went inside the base and knocked out two stormtroopers, then changed into their armor and entered the prison floor via a turbift.

However, the Third Brother was already waiting for them inside with his double-blade activated.

"We knew you would try to come here." the Inquisitor said. "Too bad you came all this way for nothing."

"We'll see." Kanan replied.

Then the duel began.

Ezra and Kanan blocked and parried all of the Third Brother's strikes and slashes, then struck back and sent the Inquisitor into retreat.

Then the Third Brother sliced open a cut on Ezra's right arm and Force pushed him away.

"No!" Kanan shouted, then he Force pushed the Inquisitor into a wall and knocked him out beforr they unlocked Shae's cell and everyone ran to the Ghost.

The stormtroopers fired after them but the Ghost sent the troopers sprawling with blasts from its laser cannons, sending debris flying into the air.

The Third Brother launched his saber at Shae with the Force but Ezra swatted it back to the Inquisitor with his own saber and the Ghost flew off.

Back at Yavin 4, Ezra was in his room when he met Shae outside.

"Thanks for rescuing me." Shae said.

Ezra nodded. "That's what friends are for."

"I never fought with a Jedi before." Shae added. "I spent a long time fighting them."

"Yeah, but now our people can be friends." Ezra said. "And we will always save each other."

Then Shae smiled and came up to Ezra before their lips pressed into each other's and they continued kissing as they walked backwards into Ezra's room, embracing each other for a long time.

Ezra and Shae would always protect each other.
