Kanan peered past as he commented, a gut feeling that something wasn't right. "No guards on the door..." He and Zeb booked over to the door and the Lasat spoke.
"Just set the detonator so we can get the Wookies out of here." Kanan pulled out such a device from his belt as he rigged it onto the door, the sounds rather quiet and the tension loomed over them as he calibrated the right setting as Zeb continued. "Least, things seem to be going smoother than our last op." Their thoughts were halted as Ezra came in shouting with Alexander behind him, Zeb snarling. "Karablast, these kids are blowing another op!"
"It's not an op, it's a trap!"
Alexander took the moment to speak as well. "We got an ISD bearing down on us right now!" This caught their attention as that meant that Hera sent them to warn the team, just as the door opened to storm troopers, Ezra taking the moment to shout.
"Run!" The troopers tried to capture the four of them, but Ezra blasted the detonator, exploding the path as they took to running, having gained a small advantage. "We need to warn Sabine and Chopper, but they've jammed the comm."

"They'll follow the plan, it'll be fine." Kanan stated as Ezra spoke again.
"Yeah, because the plans goes just great so far." In another section of the ship, the astromech chattered as Sabine spoke as well.
"Chopper, stop grumbling and work that gravity generator." The party rushed on forward as the opposite passage was then filled with more troopers and someone else as Kanan shouted.
"Don't stop!" Ezra wore a worried look as Sabine spoke again.
"I've got the backup ready..."

"Push off, now!"
"Now." The ship suddenly stopped applying gravity as space gripped their bodies, Ezra rather unprepared for the transaction, but the same was for the Imperials as they were disoriented, the party blowing past them with ease as Sabine commented. "Artificial gravity is down for two minutes." They breezed on by as the man tried to get them, getting the handle of the weightless situation as Ezra and Zeb struggled to stay in front. Kanan took the moment to ask while Sabine loaded the controls with explosives.
"Doing okay, kids?"
"Are you kidding!?" Alexander chuckled as he commented, bouncing off the walls with ease while his covered knuckles still sparked from impact with a few of the troopers.
"The question is not that troubling, you really have to get a grip on things within seconds." Within the time to escape the storm troopers, Kanan called out again and the gravity returned, Ezra getting helped up as they ran for it, Sabine inquiring in concern.

"Where are the Wookies!?"
"No Wookies, Sabine, man the nose gun, Chop, tell Hera to take off!" Sabine agrred as the party headed for the way, Alexander helping Ezra out when Zeb slightly pulled him back, but that was their downfall as the Imperials caught up, the man grabbing Ezra while several Troopers tackled Alexander before more filed in to fire on Zeb who pulled out his weapon before yelling.
"Kid, get out of the way!" Ezra struggled, but the grip was tight.
"I'm trying!" Alexander struggled as well against his stockpile, Zeb taking on a sorrowful look as he exclaimed.
"Sorry, kids...!" They exchange a look as Zeb whispered the last line. "You did good..." The door slammed shut, leaving the pair of youths struggling from the capture, their ride home just leaving them behind with remorse...

Hera nodded as she exclaimed to the crew. "There, airlock shut." The Ghost detached, releasing itself from the transport as Hera continued. "We're out of here!" Zeb didn't feel like joining as he leaned against the closed door and slumped to the floor, feeling terrible at what had just happened. "Chop, jam their tractor beam!" The Ghost flew away from the hanger as Hera guided them out before the Star destroyer commander spoke.
"Attention, Rebel Ship, surrender or be destroyed, this is your first and last warning."
"Blow it out our exhaust vent... literally. Sabine?" The girl smiled as she pulled out a trigger and activated the explosives, blasting the Star Destroyer from the inside as she grumbled.
"Ugh, I can't see it from here. How'd it look?"
"Gorgeous, Sabine, as always." Kanan remarked as they flew further away before Hera launched them into hyperspace, finally in the clear as she sighed, Sabine and Kanan joining her as Kanan spoke. "The whole thing was a setup."

Sabine questioned it as she asked. "Do you think Vizago was in on it?"
"He'd sell his mother to Jawas for a couple credits, but we're a source of income for him." She fold her arms as Zeb joined them. "Even odds, he didn't know..." Zeb took his seat as they sat in silence before she continued. "Those kids did alright."
"They did okay..." Kanan turned to Zeb, clearly not noticing the distress on the Lasat's posture. "Where are they?" Zeb hesitated as he turned it around.
"I... thought they were with you?" That didn't sound good as Sabine spoke up.
"Zeb, what did you do to them?"

"I didn't do anything to them!" He turned his face as he whispered in grief. "That ISB agent grabbed them." This lead to a panic as they shouted.
"WHAT?!"
"Those kids got grabbed, okay!" Hera was pissed as she used his full name.
"Garazeb Orrelios!"
"Oh, come on, we were dumping them off after the mission anyway!" His tone turned back to grief as he continued in a woeful tone. "This saves us fuel, they'll go easy on them, they're just kids..." Hera and Kanan shared a look at the turn of events and what to do now...

The agent walked up to the cell where Alexander and Ezra were locked in, finding that, while Ezra was sitting with his pack to his side, Alexander was running through all the stuff he had, sorting it out with questioning looks before the man spoke, stepping into the cell. "I am Agent Kallus of the Imperial Security Bureau and you are?"
Ezra's reply was defiant as he spoke. "Jabba the Hutt." Kallus raised a brow, but before either could speak, Alexander spoke otherwise as he glanced behind, drawing both of their attention.
"No, Trace, you are not Jabba, we have had this debate for months now, you can not fool mister Ironhand so easily again, when you did, I had to clean up your mess from faking an ID, so no, Trace, you are not, once more, Jabba the Hutt." He returned to the sort as Ezra plead his case.
"Look, I just met those guys today, I don't know anything."
"You're not here for what you know, 'Trace', you're here to be used as bait upon our return to Lothal."

"Bait? You seriously think..." He let out a 'wow' as he continued. "You're about as bright as a binary droid, they're not gonna come for me, people don't do that."
"Hard to tell at times, to be honest, Trace." Alexander continued as the attention was grabbed again. "People could either be helpful or be complete Banthas about it, there is no telling with people." He nodded, putting the things back as Agent Kallus seemed to close the gap before dusting off a portion of Ezra's attire before Alexander extended out his pack to the Agent. "Are you planning to take our things as well?"
"Well, I suppose that it would actually be wise, just in case, you have any tricks up your sleeves." He walked out before he spoke to both the guards. "Search them, and secure them here." The storm troopers did so as they entered the cell, aggressively taking Ezra's stuff since he was resisting, but lightly took Alexander's stuff and searched him before they found nothing and left the cell, the door shutting as Ezra grumbled.
"You need to go warn them, Ezra..." He pulled out the cube and glanced at it. "What was I thinking..." He got up as Alexander leaned against the wall as the young man grumbled. "And of course, the only thing I managed to hold on to is this worthless piece of..." He growled as it didn't open to him before he threw it at the cell wall, Alexander just watching as Ezra was heated before he spoke.
"Such emotions are bad for your blood, though I can't judge you as I have done the same thing, so mad and upset that it just seems aggravating, so please, calm down for a bit." Ezra looked peeved before he took the advise to heart and breathe, bringing his hands up in a thinking positon, Alexander resting on the wall before he heard... a click, raising his eyes to the box that was... moving its corners to the sides before it started to float up, its pieces coming off as the center hovered there before it displayed something. "Oh, snap... didn't see that coming..."

He kicked off from the wall as he watched as the display spoke, giving a message in the form of a aged man. "This is Master Obi-wan Kenobi, I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic have fallen with the dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place." Ezra's brow moved as the message continued. Ezra spotted the message and gasped in amaze as it continued. "This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi, trust in the Force." The message stopped as the object put itself back together before Ezra spoke, standing up and pointing in shock.
"Did you...?"
"No way, Ezra, that was all you, I had nothing to do with it at all, put it away." He quickly scooped it up and hid it as they resumed their places, now certain that there was a LOT more going on at hand and that was not good in the long term if used the wrong way...

__________

The Ghost flew through hyperspace as Zeb denied the idea. "No, no, no, no way!" He continued in his rant. "You cannot be serious!"
Hera put forth her argument as she stated. "It's our fault, they were there."
"Come on, Hera, we've just met those kids, we're not going back for them." Sabine looked to the side in grief as she spoke as well.
"They'll be waiting for us." She shook her head as she gave a sorrowful look. "We can't save them..." Hera turned back in grief before Chopper spoke up, Zeb demanding on what the droid just said.
"What, what did he say!?"

Hera smirked as she spoke. "He voted with me." Two for two and the deciding vote went to Kanan as Hera continued. "That's two against two, Kanan, you have the deciding vote." He debated this, his vote would pull them back into the fray or leave to trace for more clues, his gut starting to tell him... that the ship was going to need its two stowaways for the actions to come...

Back on the Star Destroyer, Ezra's attempts of threats were rather... weak to be exact, luckily Alexander was actually good with backup. "...And you bucket heads are gonna be sorry..."
"Trace, calm down, you are not suitable to be yelling at the storm troopers like that, remember your..."
"No, this is against a nephew of the... Emperor, this must be... heard!"
"Trace, calm down, this will... Trace..." A loud thud hit the ground with the shuffle of feet. "Oh, shoot, Guards, he is suffering from something, get in here!" The storm troopers wasted no time in opening the cell and rushing in, only for Ezra and Alexander to escape as they turned around, suddenly spotting the small device in Alexander's hand as he stated. "Sorry, it was a case of the dramatic, but I am not leaving you without a small prize." He tossed it and it emitted a shockwave, knocking them out as the door closed, Alexander not locking it as he stated. "Find the gear, get with the chaos."
"I can get behind that!" They rushed out of the detention ward and headed for the armory, picking up the packs and readying for action when Ezra picked up one of the helms, and though Alexander gave a face, they stopped as they listened in on an Imperial transmission through the helmet.

"...delay was insignificant, the transport ship Agent Kallus diverted will dock on Kessel within two hours, the Wookies will be offloaded to work spice mine K76..." The transmission was interrupted as they heard a Stormtrooper.
"Stormtrooper LS-zero-zero-five, reporting to Agent Kallus."
"Kallus here"
"Sir, the prisoners are gone." Both of them gave a thumbs up as Kallus returned the call.
"How did they get aboard!?"

"Sir, the rebels didn't free them, they...uh." Anymore was cut short as the pair sneaked into the vents, surprising as Alexander stole a E-11 rifle off one of the racks and followed Ezra through the vent as the comm returned.
"I don't know how the rebel ship approached without alerting our sensors..."
"They came back...!" Ezra jolted up and slammed his head into the metal, groaning as he listened some more, Alexander keeping close. "I don't believe it..."
"Order all stormtroopers to converge on the lower hanger, I'll meet them there." Ezra quickly thought up a plan as he activated the commlink and spoke, hoping to buy some more time for the crew.
"This is Trooper LS-one-two-three, reporting intruders in the upper hanger, sir, I believe the lower hanger is a diversion."

"Maybe, maybe not, Squads Five through Eight, divert to upper hanger, the rest converge as ordered." Ezra shrugged as he stated.
"Well, every little bit helps." He continued to crawl as Alexander chuckled to himself, they had come across a mouse droid beforehand and, he tampering with its coding, sent it on a small 'errand', the turn of the rebels just a sweeter deal...

__________

The Ghost landed in the lower hanger, the Headhunter still on it, as the party rushed down the ramp as Hera spoke. "Find Ezra and his friend, I'll be ready." Sabine spray some stuff near some of the crates and joined the run into the interior of the Destroyer as Kanan spoke.
"Hold this bay till we get back."
"And this time, try not to leave until everyone's back aboard." Zeb plead his case as he slowed to a stop.
"That was not my fault!"
"Well, that's debatable." The voice came from the vents as someone landed in front of Zeb, wearing a trooper helmet so Zeb acted on reaction and slugged the person in the face, toppling them over as another face appeared from the opened vent, Zeb grimacing as the figure spoke.

"Strike two, friend, think you should have removed the helm before anything else." Ezra got up before he unloaded into Zeb, taking the helmet off.
"First, you ditched me, then you hit me!?"
"How was I supposed to know it was you, you were wearing a bucket!" Ezra tensed in anger, before Kallus came running down the way, the party, including Alexander who slipped out during the exchange, rushed for the hanger as the helmet was hurled at the agent who knocked it aside as Kanan called it.
"Spectre One to Ghost, we've leaving!" The team fired some shot off, hitting some of the troopers coming in as the others took cover, Alexander keeping a steady aim as he knocked some off the docket, as they entered the ship, Ezra attempting to make a lasting impression, but Zeb grabbed his shoulder as he yelled.
"Oh no, this time, you go first!" Ezra was pulled in fast as Kanan called.

"Ghost, raise the ramp!" The ramp closed behind Kanan as the freighter rose up in the air, Kallus commanding the troops to direct their fire.
"Aim for shield generator and engines, do not let them..." He stopped as he took in the paint on the floor, lifting it up to smell and getting concerned before he called out. "TAKE COVER!!!" The resulting explosion, engineered by Sabine, pulled cargo and troopers into the vacuum of space as Kallus called out. "Turn on the shields!" A Stormtrooper, still outside the room, pounded a fist into the controls and the shields turned on, wasting precious seconds for the troops while the Ghost flew out once more and jumped into hyperspace, Hera sighing as the door opened to both Alexander and Ezra, Alex taking a seat as Ezra leaned on the frame.
"Welcome aboard... again."
"Thanks..." Ezra rubbed his head as Alexander started to tinker with the blaster rifle, removing its ammo before getting to work, as Ezra continued, returning to the lean. "Thank you, I really didn't think you'd come back for me." Hera smiled as she adjusted the systems.
"I'll get you both home, I'm sure your parents must be worried sick." Hera stopped as Alexander started to make a chopping motion near his neck as a sign of stopping beforehand, but Ezra still replied as he looked down.

"I don't have parents..." Alexander raised his arms before setting the rifle down and flicking a finger across his palm as Hera wore a saddened look on her face as Ezra, lit up a bit, as he swayed the subject off. "...And you've got somewhere else to be." Kanan and Sabine entered the cockpit and Alexander removed himself as he leaned behind the chair of Kanan's before the youth continued on a thought. "I know where they're really taking the Wookies." The silence still filled the air, so Ezra continued. "Have you heard of the spice mines of Kessel?" The reaction was widespread as they exchanged glances, Ezra barely catching them all before Sabine turned in her seat to explain, Alexander's tampering the only things still consist then.
"Slaves sent there last a few months, maybe a year." Hera turned as well as she put the grim news on top.
"And for Wookies, born in the forest, it's a death sentence." Ezra looked among the party there before he exclaimed.
"Then I guess, we better go save them." Alexander smiled as the party turned to him before Sabine asked.
"We?"

"We've come this far, might as well finish the job." Alexander stood up as he remarked, loading the clip back into the weapon and holstering it onto his pack.
"Well, guess it's time to start hurting the Empire, if you need me, Phantasm One is on standby." He saluted with two fingers before heading out, Hera smirking as well as she turned to the computer.
"Setting course for Kessel." Kanan lingered in his gaze before turning front and center, leaving Ezra to debate his position. They jumped out of hyperspace and Alexander boarded his Headhunter with a smile as he linked up with the Ghost.
"This is Phantasm One, reporting for duty, Ghost."
"You are clear, Phantasm One, let's see what we can do." Through the cloud cover, the crew attacked the standing garrison as the rest of them prepped for combat.

Zeb took to scaring Ezra a little bit as he started. "Try not to get dead." Ezra glared back as Zeb jabbed at him. "Don't want to carry your body out." The ramp opened and Kanan, Ezra, Zeb, and Sabine jumped off the Ghost that came to a safe distance for departure, before running into cover behind some crates, the stormtrooper presence increasing slightly as Alexander made several strafing runs on their numbers, avoiding the Wookies as Kanan and Ezra nodded before the young man snuck around the side while the party divided the attention to them, the Wookies watching the firefight as Ezra got into their midst before the leader spotted and growled in their native tongue as Ezra cleared it up.
"Hey, hey, I'm here to help." The leader converse with the others as Ezra undid the bindings, the leader looking at his hands before more joined in the release, surprising everyone when they took down the remaining stormtroopers were routed, but the victory was short-lived as TIE fighters flew up form the clouds below and started to assault the Ghost, Alexander banking and taking out one of them before they rose again, this time with a Imperial Gozanti-class Cruiser as it lifted from the clouds and fired on the Wookies, injuring some as the ship came close, the TIEs driving the Ghost off as Alexander spoke over the comms.
"I don't have the firepower to handle that cruiser, you need to take out whatever that thing is going to unload on you, I'm going to help the Ghost!" The Headhunter flew on by as the ship landed and unloaded its force, led by Kallus once more as he gestured to the prisoners and rebels.
"Take them down!" The stormtroopers charged forward as the rebels retreated some, the firefight going on as the lead Wookies was hit and both Ezra and Zeb rushed over to him as Zeb confirmed the injure.
"He'll be okay, I've got him." Ezra turned as Zeb hoisted the lead away to see that the youngling Wookie, still bound, was being chased by a trooper away from the main party, he wearing a determined look before he followed the crew to the cover while in the sky, the Ghost was contending with the TIEs with Chopper manning the guns, Hera shouting as Alexander joined her and helped take out a few more TIEs.

"I can't maintain position!"
"We don't have too much breathing room up here, Spectre One, we are going to have to try something crazy!" Alexander grunted as he barrel rolled from a TIE volley before looping and downing the bother. "What's your plan!?" Back on the ground, Kanan spoke as they took cover.
"Go! Lead the TIEs away and give yourselves maneuvering room!"
"I am not leaving you behind!" Kanan looked to see large-metal containers and thought of an idea.
"No, you’re not. We’re running a 22-Pickup." Sabine glanced at Kanan and inquired with a tone.

"Seriously?"
"You have a better option?" Zeb had the OTHER idea on mind as he voiced it.
"Jump into the pit and get it over with?" Hera was a bit more optimist as she acknowledged.
"All right, I’ll be back. Make sure you’re ready, Phantasm One, focus on the fighters for now."
"Understood, I am coming in!" The comm chatter halted on the ground as Kanan adjusted himself with Ezra asking.

"22-Pickup." He asked nervously, pressing into the thoughts. "Care to let me in on the secret?"
"Kid, I’m about to let everyone in on the secret." He stood up and the feeling returned as Kanan stepped into the open and dodged blaster fire as if he knew how it was going to hit and moved as his mind registered the shots, Kallus calling for a halt as Kanan pulled out the components before attaching them together and pointed it out, the blue beam surging out before he stanced with it, Ezra's amaze strong with the Wookies as well as the Imperials looked at each other in worry, even Kallus looked at unease as the sound of the saber hummed across the facility before Kallus commanded.
"All troopers, focus your fire on-- on the Jedi." The Troopers fired, but Kanan blocked and deflect the shots that would have hit him, the Wookies suffering less injures as Kanan called out.
"Time to go!"
"Right." Zeb called it as he motioned the Wookies to the place. "Everyone, into the container!" Ezra watched as the leader tried to reach out for something and he knew the answer, glancing over the crates before making his decision as he booked it for the youngling, Zeb and another spotting him as the crewmate called out. "Kid, stop! Karablast. I swear, if he’s left behind again, it’s not my fault!" They motioned the Wookies in as Hera continued to get support from Alexander, but one of his wings was blasted and he grimaced, the pressure getting too high as the TIE behind him riddled him.

"Well, bantha fodder... you guys just wrecked my ship..." He groaned as he engaged the thrust and lined the ship to another TIE before flipping the ship and popping the hatch, firing a grapple onto the Ghost as he spoke in the face of the zooming speed. "Like I said, never leave home without a grapple." It latched on and he undid his buckle, falling fast before retracting the line and riding the ship as the Headhunter smashed into the TIE to Hera yelling.
"Phantasm One!"
"I'm okay, darn Imperials riddled my ship, now I am currently on the hull, so give me a sec." Alexander turned around, the grapple returning as his boots locked in and he pulled out his new rifle. "Let's see how you like your ship wrecked..." He fired, holding tight as the TIE were unprepared for the additional fire coming from the freighter while on the ground, Kanan spoke up in the deflected blaster fire.
"Zeb! Hera's coming!"
"Get in, you furballs, now!" The Wookies acknowledged it as Zeb returned fire some before he shouted to Kanan, the Wookies rushing into the container. "Kanan, I think you inspired the kid into, well, doing something like you would do!" Kanan understood as he continued to block while on the other side of the compound, Ezra caught up to the Stormtrooper before calling out.

"Hey." The Trooper turned, but Ezra was ready, drawing on the same feeling before he leapt over in a inhuman way before landing before the youngling and quick drawing his shock sling, knocking the Trooper off the platform as he turned to the Wookie. "Gotcha!" He undid the bindings, unaware of Agent Kallus coming close. The Ghost flew in as Alexander turned his attention to the Troopers below, sniping them as they came while the container with the whole group was shut and grabbed by Hera with her speaking.
"Magnetic seal locked." The container shook some as the lock was complete as Zeb grumbled.
"I hate this part." The Ghost soared up and to the clouds while Ezra finally got the bindings off to be confronted with Agent Kallus.
"It's over for you, Jedi." Both stared at each other as the ISB agent continued. "A master and an apprentice, such a rare find these days."
"I don't know where you get your delusions, buckethead. I work alone."

"Not this time!" The Ghost floated up from the cloud cover as Kanan stood on it, lightsaber out as he stared down Kallus, the agent taking a few shots, but they missed with the exception of the deflected one that sent him over before Kanan called out. "Jump, kid!" Both the youngling and Ezra leapt off the platform and onto the Ghost, Kallus left to both stare at the leaving sight and kick the trooper that didn't fall in the first place. The crew all aboard as they conversed in the cargo bay, reuniting father and son together as Ezra just looked at it and felt... empty, Alexander joining him before he pulled him to the corridor, leaving the crew to their things among the Wookies.
"Well, we did it... mission complete, right?"
"Yeah..." Ezra seemed taken out as Alex folded his arms. "I'm... sorry about your fighter."
Alexander shrugged as he commented. "I'm going to miss that piece of work, was the first Starfighter I ever flown..." He breathed as he looked at Ezra. "We going to keep a tight lip about the whole thing?"
"Maybe..." Ezra didn't know and Alexander couldn't blame him, a lot has occurred and now, they were stuck with each other for the time being as the Ghost crew procured a ship for the Wookies and the leader left some parting words that Sabine translated.

"Uh, he says if we ever need help, the Wookies will be there." The leader rubbed Ezra's head as he bid farewell to the youngling whose name was actually Kitwarr.
"Good luck, Kitwarr. Try to stay out of trouble." They bid farewell as Zeb remarked.
"Look who's talking." He walked over to the airlock as Ezra looked down, Alexander saying nothing for the exchange.
"So… I guess you drop us off next?" The hatch closed as Zeb remarked.
"Uh, yeah." He cleared his throat, but it did little to ease the tension. "Finally, right?" He chuckled a bit, but Ezra was not in the mood for chuckling as Alexander followed him.

"Right..." Sabine and Zeb walked on as Kanan sighed, clearly this was going to affect them all as he headed up, Ezra waiting at the ladder before the ship shook from the detached of the Wookies, Alexander spotting the steal as Ezra 'accidently' lunged forward and snatched the saber with a minor apology, waiting for Kanan to pass before he put it together and looked at it, Alexander remaining still with a smirk.
"Score: Jedi wanderer: zero; Lothal streetrat: one." Ezra chuckled from the minor pun as he pulled it back apart and stashed it in his pack as the ship headed for Lothal and settled down near the tower where Ezra made his home as he readied up, glancing a smile to Chopper and Sabine who looked sad to see him go as he talked to Zeb.
"So, uh, see you around?"
"Not if we see you first." Zeb chuckled as he slugged Ezra a good one, but the departure weighed on him more as he commented.
"Don't worry. You won't." Zeb's good-nature look turned to confusion as Alexander leapt on down and patted the big guy on the shoulder.

"Don't worry about him, he is not too good with farewells, see you soon." He patted twice before following Ezra down where Hera and Kanan waited for them before Kanan spoke.
"I think you have something that belongs to me." Ezra pulled out the strange object and tossed it to Kanan who caught it, despite its altered form, as Ezra shouldered his pack, Alexander doing the same as he also messed with his new blaster.
"Good luck saving the galaxy." Ezra headed off with Alexander close behind as Kanan looked down to the device, its turned corners the very answer he was looking for as Hera voiced the same.
"He opened it. He passed the test." Kanan gave a glance before returning to look at the fading presence of the duo heading for the spire, far in the distance...

__________

"You know..." Alexander said as he scribed out a name on the blaster with a combat knife, its worth well found with him to give it a proper name, as he continued. "This is one day I never thought could have happened." Ezra glanced at Alex as he finished up the name, 'Alpha', and put his tools away as he handled the blaster rifle, removing the clip as a precaution. "Think about it, an actual Jedi, on a crew of people that dislike the Empire, they all have their reasons, but they made a difference when it came down to it."
"Yeah... they did." They entered the spire and headed to the room as Alexander continued to the lights activating to them.
"Are you... perhaps afraid, curious, or is it uncertainty of what to do now?" Ezra pondered the same as he looked at the room, trinkets and helmets stolen over the years as he dove deeper to feel another with them as he asked.
"What's the Force?" Alexander turned as well to see Kanan, he making no moves as Kanan explained it.
"The Force is everywhere. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together. And it’s strong with you, Ezra. Otherwise, you’d never been able to open the Holocron." The youth turned fully as he seemed to demand, though the empty feeling was being filled in as they spoke, a meaning more than idle theft and survival.

"So, what do you want?"
"To offer you two a choice." Kanan gestured to both Alex and Ezra as he explained it out. "You can keep the lightsaber you stole, let it become just another dusty souvenir." He gestured to the whole room before turning it to him. "Or you can give it back and come with us, come with me and be trained in the ways of the Force. You can learn what it truly means to be a Jedi." Though it was directed to Ezra, Alexander understood the offer as Ezra asked.
"I thought the Empire wiped out all the Jedi."
"Not all of us." Ezra stares at the saber with Alexander doing the same from his seat before they turned to find that Kanan disappeared as Alex spoke.
"Darn Jedi, they can just disappear and reappear wherever they want." Ezra debated this before he spoke up, looking at Alex with a solemn look.

"It's better, much better than just waiting for the next steal, we could make a difference and we could see more of the galaxy, this is a big chance, Alex, I think... we should do it."
Alexander put his hands up with a smile. "Very well..." He stood up and lightly slugged Ezra. "Well, if getting with them gets me a new fighter, then I am not one to brag." Ezra rolled his eyes as they headed back out, sealing the room as they made for the Ghost...

__________

Kanan rested in his room before he extended his will into the holocron as it opened and played the message hidden inside, the same one of Master Obi-wan Kenobi. "This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic have fallen, with the dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi: Trust in the Force. Do not return to the Temple. That time has passed, and our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged-- our trust, our faith, our friendships. But we must persevere, and in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you… always." It stopped short as the door opened to Ezra who walked in to Kanan standing, Ezra returning the lightsaber while Kanan assured him that he is now welcome aboard the Ghost, Alexander actually taking to the cargo bay as there were no more rooms where he can easily rest, Sabine and Hera tried to get him to sleep in a more normal room, but after a short chat, they came to the agreement that his skills were in the vehicles, it was a bit better to be on hand when the need comes up. Their adventures just getting started among the crew of the Ghost...

Thus ends the first episode of Rebels, 'Spark of Rebellion' involving Alexander Highwind, a character I solely wished to add for the thought's idea.
Rebels and Star Wars belong to Disney, Highwind belongs to me so leave comment and tell me what you like about this and I will see if I can do more.
