Rebel Duo

A Blade made of Light

"We're in space," Ezra said, excited.

"Yeah, and two Tie Fighters are coming right at us," I said, growing more worried than excited about where we were. The Tie Fighters started shooting and the area we were in shook. "We're about to die!" Ezra panicked.

"Calm down," I said. "We're not going to die." Just then, a blaster was shot from one of the cannons on this ship and blew up a Tie Fighter. Suddenly, a hand grabbed Ezra's shoulder and pulled him out of the seat. He stumbled back and was about to make a comment when the Mandalorian took of her helmet. Her hairs was blue, but highlighted red in some areas. Her eyes matched the red color and her skin was a tan like Ezra and I. Ezra stood speechless, probably awestruck by her. She rolled her eyes and took her place in the seat, which turned out to be another cannon on the ship.

"Had I known that was a cannon," I said. "I would've taken out those Tie Fighters." The girl smirked, probably hearing my comment, but focused on the Tie Fighters. Ezra stood up, and leaned against the back of her seat saying, "My name's Ezra. What's yours?"

I sighed and placed my hand to my forehead. "Ignore him," I said to the girl. She smiled again, and did a slight nod. Just then, the Lasasian appeared and grabbed Ezra, saying, "I'm Zeb, you loth rat."

"Calculations complete but we need an opening," I heard over a speaker. Was that the pilot?

"Found one!" said the girl at the cannons. She blasted the cannons and blew up another one of the Tie fighters.

"Entering Hyperspace," we heard over the speaker. Everybody looked out the window, as everything started to fly past us really fast, all blending into a blue blur. suddenly, the ship jerked forward and we were in hyperspace.

"Whoa," I said, amazed.

"Eliza!" I heard Ezra say. I turned around to see that the Lasanian named Zeb, was taking Ezra somewhere else. "A little help!"

I sighed and started walking after him. "Sabine," I heard. I turned and looked at the girl. "The name's Sabine."

I smiled, "Eliza."

She nodded, and turned back towards the window. I followed after Ezra and Zeb, which ended up being in the Pilot's point of the ship. "Take me back to Lothal!" Ezra demanded.

"Calm down," I heard a new voice say. "That's exactly what were doing."

I looked and the pilot was a Twi'lek. Her skin was a slight green color and she wore the outfit of a pilot. I had to say, it was very impressive flying maneuvers earlier. I smiled; I like her already.

"Wait, right now?" Ezra said, worried. "With the emperials chasing us?"

"We lost them when we jumped so that the Ghost can scramble its signatures, so they won't recognize us when we return."

I smiled, "Smart move."

The pilot turned around and I saw she had dark green eyes and a smile that can be sweet and intimidating at times. "And you must be our other stowaway," she said. She noticed my ankle and said, "How's it healing?"

I looked at it and tapped it. Pain shot up my leg and I winced. "It'll heal, eventually," I said. "For now, I need to be careful."

"But that's pretty cool," Ezra said, mentioning the hyper jump. "So just drop me, my sister, and my blasters at-"

Just then, the door behind us opened and Sabine and the man from earlier came into the room. Sabine then said, "There not your blasters."

"And we're not going back to capital city; the jobs not done," the man said. My stomach dropped; I honestly didn't care about the blasters. But I just wanted to get back to Lothal. If we weren't going back to Capital City, then where?

"And did I hear correctly, sister?" Sabine said, looking at me. I shrugged my shoulders, "Yeah we're unfortunately siblings."

"'Unfortunately?'" Ezra said, looking at me. "What's that suppose to mean?"

"You can be a pretty big pain in the neck at times," I said. "And I still put up with you. But that's what older sisters do."

"We're here," the pilot said. The ship had landed back on Lothal, but we were at another part of it. The sky was dark, so it must've just turned night time here. Sabine and Zeb started pushing crates out of the ship, while the Pilot and the guy pushed another crate out of the ship, away from us. Ezra and I walked out of the ship and Ezra noticed too that the two were walking in a different direction.

"Hey, where are they going?" Ezra asked.

"If I told you, I would have to kill you," Zeb said. "Oh, and I might kill you anyway."

"Grab a crate and pull your weight," she said to Ezra. I went to take a crate, but she stopped me. "You might want to take it easy on that ankle."

"I'm fine," I said. But as if to prove me wrong, my ankle started hurting and I flinched. "Why don't you wait on the ship?" Sabine suggested.

I sighed and went back to the ship, sitting on the ramp, watching them go down to the small village. It wasn't long before the sun came up and light started making everything better to see. The village was small and looked more like a refugee camp. I felt a wave of sadness and realized that must be what it is. I hope this group was helping them.

Just the, I saw Ezra walking back up the hill. He sat next to me, not looking too happy. "Are you alright?" I asked.

He shook his head. "Those crates were full of food. And they were giving the food to the villagers down there. One of them thanked me, but I didn't do anything."

I didn't know how to respond. Ezra had always been the one to want to keep things for himself and I. But I had always persisted in trying to get him to think of others. He would always say though it's everybody for themselves, but that wasn't true. And the truth was staring at him in the face, and he was refusing to look at it.

Suddenly, the feeling I had earlier in Capital City was back again. I stood up, being mindful of my ankle. "Do you..." I started. Ezra stood up and nodded, knowing what I meant. I looked inside of the ship and realized it's coming from inside. Ezra got up and started going into the ship. I followed, curious myself of what was inside. Ezra had stopped at the bottom of the ladder, and I knew why. It was coming from up there. Ezra started climbing up the ladder, and I did too, being mindful of my ankle.

We were back in the Pilot's point of the ship, and I went to the door, opening it. The feeling was getting stronger as both Ezra and I looked down the hallway. There were four doors, two on my right and two on my left. We both walked and noticed the first door on our right was where the feeling was strongest. I placed my hand out, trying to see or hear if it really was coming from this room.

"It's....coming from here," I said. Ezra took off his backpack and pulled out his handy tool, which we used only to pick locks. As he picked the lock, I thought I heard a noise and looked to my left. but there was nothing down the hallway. Ezra looked to and i shook my head, letting him know it was nothing. the door opened and we walked in. the door closed behind us and we looked around the room.

The room had a bunk bed built into the wall, a ladder on the side to climb up onto the second bed. There was a small area to my left where someone could sit. Other then that, there was nothing much. Ezra sat on the bed and looked around, trying to figure out where the sound was coming from. We both heard it, and I pointed at one of the drawers, saying, "It's coming from there."

Ezra opened the drawer and, inside, was a cube of sorts. It had diamond shaped patterns on it, and was blue on the inside. I didn't know what it was, but I heard Ezra mumbled, "Might be worth something." He was about to close the drawer, but I walked over and said, "Wait."

I opened it more and found, some sort weapon. It had a handle, as if it was a staff, but it was REALLY short to be one of those. I picked it up and looked at is. there was a hole at the top and it had a very interesting design to it.

"What kind of staff is-" I started, moving my thumb over a button, holding it now with both hands. Suddenly, a blue light shot out of the hole and into the air, but stopped growing. It wasn't a staff at all; it was a sword of some sort. A sword made of light.

"Whoa," Ezra said. "Can I see it?" I nodded and passed him the sword. Ezra moved it around and, as he did so, the sword made a sound, as if bending the air around it.

"It's.....amazing," I said, awestruck by it. Suddenly, we heard the door open and I knew we were in trouble. We both turned around and saw the guy and pilot from earlier, standing in the doorway.

"Careful," the guy said. "You'll cut your arm off with that."

I looked and saw a droid by the pilot. I sighed; that's what I heard earlier. The orange bucket of a droid. The droid started talking and I rolled my eyes; the droid was laughing at us for being caught.

"Look, "said Ezra. "I know your not going to believe us, but it's like this thing wanted us to take it."

"You're right," the guy said. "I don't believe you. Now hand me the Lightsaber."

Something clicked in my head and I asked, "Isn't that the weapon of the Jedi?"

The guy looked at me, very serious but then turned back to Ezra and said, "Give it to me, and get out."

Ezra pressed the button, making the blue light retreat back into the handle. He gave it to the guy, and walked past him. I walked past the two adults, trying to be quick so they wouldn't stop me. I walked next to Ezra and said, "At least we have that."

Ezra nodded, showing me the cube again. This crew really is strange and full of stranger people.
