Sabine: A New Mission

ONE: THE BETRAYAL OF A FRIEND

"Well, where should we start?" Sabine asked Ahsoka. "I don't know. Should we connect with Hera on the Ghost and tell her what we're doing?" She suggested.

"I like that. I'll contact her now."

Hera was delighted to know that Sabine and Ahsoka were going to visit. When the Mandalorian and the Togruta arrived, Hera showed them to the common room. It gave Sabine too many painful memories. "So, what brings you two here?" Hera asked the next day. "Well, Ahsoka and I, we're looking for Ezra," Sabine explained. Hera, Zeb, Kallus, and even Chopper looked surprised. "Why are you looking at me like I died and came back to life?" Sabine asked. When no one answered, Sabine turned to Ahsoka, handed her her helmet, and whispered, "Take my helmet on the ship and get it ready to fly. I have a feeling that something's about to happen. I think they might try to stop me, Force knows why." Ahsoka nodded, and left.

"Okay. Please tell me why you're all looking at me like that."

"Sabine, Ezra has been gone for five years. I know you always believed that he was somehow still out there, but there is no way he could have survived that," Hera told her gently. "Maybe it's time to accept the fact that he might never return." Zeb and Kallus both nodded their heads in agreement, Zeb being more reluctant. Sabine however, was in shock. Then realization hit her like a slap in the face.

"You...you never believed that he'd return! You gave up on him! HOW COULD YOU?!?"

"I wish he were alive, Sabine! But there was no way he could have survived!"

"Yes, there is! Ezra doesn't die easy!"

"Sabine, I forbid you from going! I-I don't want anything to happen to you! I've already lost Kanan and Ezra! I'm not going to lose you!"

"Oh you forbid me, do you! You seriously think that I will listen to you?!"

"Sabine, I only want you to be safe!"

"And when did I get anywhere being safe?!"

"Sabine, do we have to argue like this?"

"DON'T change the subject! Ezra IS ALIVE and I'M GOING to FIND HIM!"

"NO, SABINE! YOU ARE NOT GOING!"

"YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN OR CAN'T DO!"

"Sabine, Ezra's dead! I wish it weren't true, but it is! He SACRIFICED himSELF to SAVE US! JUST EXCEPT REALITY!"

"WHAT IF IT WERE KANAN? YOU WOULDN'T LET ANYONE OR ANYTHING STOP YOU FROM FINDING HIM!"

"BUT THIS ISN'T KANAN!"

"EXACTLY! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL! YOU THINK YOU DO, BUT YOU DON'T!"

"Sabine, stop this. This isn't you. This isn't the Sabine we all know."

"The Sabine you know will never return until Ezra is back with her."

"Oh Sabine, are you saying that we'll never know our Sabine again?"

"STOP SAYING EZRA IS DEAD!!! HE IS ALIVE!! FINE! I WANTED TO SEE IF YOU WOULD HELP ME SEARCH, BUT NOW I SEE IT! YOU ALL ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT HE WAS DEAD!! I WILL FIND HIM AND BRING HIM HOME! BUT YOU BELIEVE THAT HE'S GONE FOR GOOD! YOU DIDN'T KNOW OF OUR RELATIONSHIP! THIS IS LIKE YOU AND KANAN, HERA! I KNOW YOU WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET HIM BACK! I WOULD DO THE SAME FOR EZRA!! I WILL FIND HIM IF IT MEANS NEVER NEVER SEEING YOU AGAIN!! ANY OF YOU!!! GOOD-BYE HERA!" With that, Sabine stormed out of the common room, stopping at the door to say, "To think I once thought of you as mother." Leaving behind a very shocked Hera, Zeb, Chopper, Kallus, and a very confused Jacen, who had been watching silently. Hera turned to Zeb, Chopper, and Kallus. "Make sure she doesn't leave this ship."

MWA-HA-HA-HA!!! I'm so cruel. What do you think is going to happen?
