"WHAT?!" Sabine gasped. Ahsoka just looked at her friend. "No, not her! I-it can't be!" 

"It was her, Sabine. She isn't on Lothal. She's on a planet called...Ringo Vinda. Do you know where that is?" 

"Ringo Vinda....." Sabine whispered. "Yeah, I know where that is. That's the planet where Ketsu started hinting that she was going to leave me."

"Where is it?"

"Ringo Vinda is in the Mid Rim."

"What are we waiting for? Let's go find your family," Ahsoka said. 

ONE HOUR LATER......

"When will we get there?" Ahsoka asked for the fifth time. Sabine sighed. "You sound like me," she told the Jedi. "I told you before, the flight is an hour and a half from Lothal to Rido Vinda. We still have half an hour to go."

Ahsoka sighed angrily. She wanted to be there now. She knew that Ursa was in danger. She didn't want Sabine to see her mother injured; or worse. She was sure that if Ursa died, Sabine would go crazy. She might even commit suicide. Ahsoka prayed to the Force that wouldn't happen. 

"Sabine?" 

Sabine looked at her friend, puzzled. Was she going to complain about not being there yet?

"Ahsoka? Are you okay?"

"Sabine, I just want to tell you, whatever happens, don't freak out. We still need to find Ezra, and if something happens to you before then...." Ahsoka trailed off, not wanting to finish. 

"You're worried that I might kill myself if something bad happens to my mom," she realized.

Ahsoka couldn't hide her embarrassment. "It's just....I've lost people, and I don't want to lose another friend. And besides, you're the only one who knows where Ezra is. About that, why aren't you telling me where he is?" Ahsoka added, trying to lighten up the mood in her own, strange way.  

Sabine rolled her eyes playfully. "I'll tell you later. Right now, I'm telling you that we're here."

"FINALLY!!!!" Ahsoka breathed out. Sabine smiled, and pulled out of hyperspace.

HALF AN HOUR LATER.....

"Fulcrum! I've found her!"

"Good job,  Spectre-5! Where are you?"

"Sending coordinates!"

"You sound frantic! What's going on?"

"She, my dad, and my brother are being attacked by remaining members of the Empire!"

"Do not engage! I'm coming to help you! Just lay low!"

Ahsoka ran as fast as she could. Apparently, Sabine didn't join the fight because even with her jet-pack, she wasn't able to catch up. Ahsoka would scold her later for trying to hop in. A cry of pain was heard. Then three shouts of "NO!" (one being Sabine.) 

Ahsoka jumped onto the building that Sabine managed to get on.   

Sabine shot a trooper just in time before he could shot her brother.

Soon the battle was won. (I'm to lazy to write down what happened LOL) Sabine ran to her mother's side. Ahsoka's fears were coming true. Sabine looked at Ahsoka. 

"I'm going to do what I have to do," she said. Ahsoka paled. "Sabine, no! Your wound from Coruscant hasn't healed properly yet!" 

"I don't care! I'm going to do it!"

Ursa's eyes were glassy, and her breathing was short and ragged. Ahsoka quickly told Alrich and Tristan to help her hold Ursa down. She also whispered to Tristan to catch Sabine if she fell. Puzzled, he agreed. 

Sabine closed her eyes, and focused. The Mandalorian countess' wound was healing, and soon, it was gone. Sabine fainted, and Tristan caught her. "What just happened?" He asked. 

"I'll explain later. Come with me, I'll get you to our ship."

"'Our ship'?" Alrich asked, very confused. Ahsoka explained,

"Well, my ship, but, Sabine and I are sharing for now. We're looking for Ezra."

"You're looking for Bridger?" Tristan asked, picking up his unconscious sister. 

"Yes. Now, Count Wren, please pick up you're wife and follow me. I'll tell you everything....."

Little did they know, a ugnaught was watching them. He spoke into a commlink,

"They are headed to their ship. All is going as planed."

"Good," said a silky, cat-like voice. "Soon, I shall have my revenge."
