Another mission
I let out a sigh as I look out into the streets of Capital City. Lookout may be the most tedious job. But manageable for a "kid like me".
Thank you Sabine, really needed to hear that.
Hera wants me to take some time, and take it easy. So thus, lookout. On top of that things are really awkward on the ship. Every body goes about their routine, but whenever it's just me and Sabine, I bail. Straight to the bunk.
Call me dramatic but I do not feel like discussing the events of the other night.
The others drew up a plan to bomb the local tie fighter base, enlisting the use of Sabine's colorful explosives. However I'm constrained to this vacant rooftop. Other than the occasional passerby, there doesn't seem to be anyone here on the streets.
Odd.
As I glance through the binoculars Hera lended me, I can't help but notice how cold the air around me has gotten.
The wind is even picking up. Hmmm.
Glancing to my left down a alleyway there's a light. A beam, clouded by the materials that are lifted off the ground and now whipping around it in a cyclone.
Whoa.
Jumping from the rooftop I land softly in the street below. Stepping closer toward the light, the wind soars, throwing me off balance and onto my back.
Ouch. Still sensitive.
Glancing up I look toward the light, which has now taken form into a lightsaber. I feel my eyes grow wide as the dark figure wielding the blade steps closer.
"So easy to fool." The man snickers, "Young Bridger is it?"
I look on, not saying a word.
Who is this guy?
"W-who, who are you?" my words fail me as the figure draws nearer.
The dark man pauses for a moment, as if he's thinking of a right answer.
"You will learn in time." He replies in his deep almost metallic voice.
Definitely not the inquisitor.
"Come." He says reaching out a hand "Come and I will teach you to be strong with the Force."
Unable to speak, I manage to shake my head.
"Stubborn." The figure shakes his head slowly "If this is how it must be." Suddenly I feel a tired and heavy weight take over my body, and my vision starts to fade into dark, dark . . .
. . .
Groggily I open my eyes.
What?! Where am I?!
My eyes dart around the small room.
Durasteel.
Durasteel.
Durasteel.
And more Durasteel.
Four walls, one door, no windows. I look up and see what I'm looking for.
And one boy-sized vent.
I can't help but smirk.
Suddenly the small door directly across from swishes open.
Gushh . . . Shhhh . . .
What the hell is that?
Slowly a tall man in a full black armored suit makes his way to me.
What.
The.
Fu . . .
"Silence boy." He booms.
Mind probe?
"Yes" he turns his head away "fool." he mutters as he cirlces around me.
Sagging my head I look at my feet.
There's no getting out of this. No way. Not this time.
Glancing up, the "man" has made his way around to face me.
Creepy ass mask. Who does this guy think he is?
"You will learn in time boy." He says turning to the door "but for now . . ." He beckons to the door. "You will learn what happens if you fail."
I watch him out as a small probe droid takes his place.
Shit.
Gritting my teeth, I wait for what's to come.
. . .
(Sabine POV)
"We have to find him." Hera says strongly, glancing back from her seat in the cockpit. "Right?"
. . .
Her eyes advert directly to Kanan.
Well it is his decision. I don't think we should, give him time he'll come up somewhere at some point.
Kanan lifts his hand up to his chin as if in thought.
. . .
. . .
"Where might he be though? Zeb I thought you reported no patrolling imperials in the system?" Turning toward the large purple beast.
"Wha…?" He stutters quickly "well I thought there weren't any, Chopper was being a pain in the shebs while I was checking the radar." He adds growling in choppers direction.
Diverting his eyes back to Kanan, he frowns slightly. "I guess I could've missed some, possibly."
Sigh. The entire point of making him the "lookout" was so that he didn't have to do anything.
"It's settled then." says Hera, grabbing everyone's attention. "We'll find him." She begins punching in buttons and flipping switch preparing for lift off.
. . .
"Hopefully."
