Sabine: A New Mission

Fifteen: Family Is All That Counts

"Where am I?" Sabine asked. 

"Welcome back, Sabine," a voice said from behind. 

"What do you mean?" She asked, turning around. But no one was behind her. 

"You've failed them, Sabine. It's your fault you aren't getting along with Hera, Zeb, Kallus, or Chopper. It's your fault that Ezra disappeared. You could have stopped him," the voice said.

"I know that voice......." Sabine thought. 

"Yes, you know me. I was the one who Ezra surrendered to."

"Thrawn!"

"Yes, Lady Wren. It's. Me," said Thrawn. He showed himself to Sabine. Sabine reached for her blasters, but they weren't there.

"Looking for these?" The Chiss asked, pulling out her blasters. 

"Soon," he said, "I will have my revenge. I already have, the Ghost Crew.

"NO!" Sabine bolted upright. Great, she thought. Another nightmare. Just great. 

Getting up, she headed to the cock-pit. Ezra was already there.

"Couldn't sleep?" He asked when she sat in the pilot's seat.

"Nightmares again. Thrawn this time," she said.

Ezra turned to look at his friend. "I've been having visions of Thrawn, recently. It's nothing good, though."

"Thrawn isn't good, but he isn't evil. I've been researching Thrawn, lately. He joined the Empire to protect his people." 

"That's honorable."

"I agree. But still, he is responsible for Atollon."

Ezra sighed, and looked back out of the window. "Sabine, I know you aren't getting along with the Ghost Crew right now, but, I want to see them," he said. "It's been five years, and I want to know how they're doing."

"I know. That's why I asked Ahsoka to contacted them. She didn't tell them that you are found, though. They think I'm going to apologize," Sabine informed him.

"I like that. They don't know I'm here. Wont that be a surprise," he said. "When they do get there, though, you don't have to stick around for long, but I always dreamed of coming back and having a reunion all together. The Ghost Crew."

"I'll do it. But don't be surprised if I disappear after a little while," she said.

"Just not on any Purgal, okay?" Ezra teased. Sabine started laughing. Oh, how she missed him and his teasing. 

A few hours later, Ezra pulled the ship out of hyperspace. A brown and blue planet was in front of them. 

"Welcome home, Ezra Bridger," Sabine said with a smile. Ahsoka had contacted Hera, and only said that she and Sabine were going back to Lothal. That was all she said.

"I'm home," he whispered. He had changed, and so had Sabine. Ahsoka had told him what had happened on the Ghost when Hera...........he told himself not to think about it. But it still hurt that Hera gave up on him. Nevertheless, he was a Jedi, and he forgave her. She was just scared of losing another member and friend. But by doing what she did, she did.

Ezra looked ahead as they entered the atmosphere. When they broke through the clouds, he gasped with shock, delight, and wonder. The capital city was tall and white; mimicking the rocks that were native to Lothal. 

Still in suprise, he turned to Sabine. "Did you do this?" 

"Some of it. I helped. And—well, you know—painted," she said.

Ezra laughed. "That's you alright!" He exclaimed. 

When they landed, Sabine walked next to Ezra as the two stepped onto Lothalian soil. Ezra took a deep breath of the sweet air, and felt the sun's rays on his skin. How he had missed his home planet.

"C'mon! I have something to show you! Well, many things but come on!" Sabine said, taking hold of his arm. Then the two ran across the fields, laughing, racing, being the total weirdos they were before he had disappeared. Sabine showed him the painting she drew of the Crew, and his old tower. 

Ezra could only gaze around it. Sabine had kept his Stormtrooper helmet collection, and had made rooms. She had left the walls the color that they were, but had painted the ones she had put up. 

Even Ursa, Alrich, and Tristan could only gaze around in wonder. Ahsoka, she looked around, and only smiled.

Ezra slept peacefully that night. He was back home, with Sabine, and soon the Ghost Crew. Hopefully one day, Sabine would forgive Hera, Zeb, and Chopper. She probably would never forgive Kallus, but if she forgave the others, then Ezra would be overjoyed. He wanted the Crew back together, not that it ever could be because of Kanan, but he wanted it to be close. And Sabine had agreed to be there when the Ghost came; even if it was only for a few hours. That was enough for him.

Now all he had to do was hope that Sabine would forgive them. 

In the other room, where Sabine was sharing with her family, she was hoping the same thing.

Could she?

Could I?
