Kanan's POV:

It's been almost a year since Ezra left, and today is his birthday. Me and everyone else, except Hera, Mira, and Chopper, we're all at the empire day celebration to cause some trouble. Suddenly there was an explosion, well looks like someone beat us to it.

We were all running down the streets of Lothal. "We need somewhere to go until things calm down!" Trix said as we ran. "Follow me!" I yelled, we ran to Trix, Kyle, Mira, and... Ezra's old house. We stopped in front of the house. "We can hide in your guy's old house." I said looking at Trix and Kyle.

We walked in. "We can stay here till things calm down." I said. "Man, I miss Ezra." Sabine said as we all sat on the couch. "We all do, but obviously he doesn't want to be found. I just hope he is safe." I said as my eyes teared up. "No matter how annoying he was, he was like a little brother." Zeb said.

Suddenly there was a loud noise and someone fell out of a closet, and that someone was... Ezra? "Ezra?!" Trix said as she ran up and hugged Ezra when he got up from where he had fallen. "Ezra?! Where have you been?! We have been worried!" Sabine said to him. "Ya kid, where have you been, and why did you leave?!" Zeb asked.

"Guys, come out." He said, I was confused at first, but then I saw four kids come out of the places where they were hiding. "Lydia, Ellie, Crystal and Jack?!" Kyle said surprised. "Yep that's us." One of them said awkwardly. "Wait a second, are you in a crew with them?" I asked. "Yeah." He replied. "What?! Why did you leave to join them?!" Trix asked. "Guys, I had a vision, and it was something I had to prevent." Ezra explained. "What could have been so bad that it caused you to leave?" Sabine asked. 'I think I have an idea what.' I thought. "I don't want to talk about it." He said.

"It was this or death." He said before he opened the door. And guess who was standing at the door, the Inquisitor. Ezra and everyone in his new crew all took out lightsabers and ignited them. The Inquisitor said something but all I could make out was one word, 'padawans'. "Wait, what?!" I said surprised.

I ignited my lightsaber. Ezra told his crew to go, they didn't at first, but then they did. Ezra told us to leave to, but I didn't want to leave him to fight the Inquisitor alone. "Just go." He told me. We left, and headed back to the Ghost. When we got there everyone went to their cabins besides me, I went to the cockpit to talk to Hera and Mira.

I got into the cockpit and sat down. "What's wrong?" Hera asked. "We saw Ezra." I said. Mira gasped. "You did?" Mira asked. "Ya, but he is in a crew with some friends from his childhood, and they are all padawans who have lost their masters." I explained. "I think I know who he is with, he had four friends that he used to hangout with all the time when he was little. Their names were, Lydia, Ellie, Crystal, and Jack." Mira explained. "That was them, Kyle said it was them." I explained.

"Did Ezra say why he is in their crew, and why he left?" Hera asked. "He said he has a vision, and right before he left he said, it was this or death." I explained. "It makes sense if that is why he left then." Hera said sadly. "I miss Ezra, but at least he is with people he knows, and cares about." Mira said sadly. Ezra leaving effected her, Trix and Kyle the most. "I miss him to." Hera said.

I decided to go to my room to meditate, but I couldn't focus, all I could think about was Ezra. We all missed Ezra so much, he was family to all of us. Ezra was like a son to me, I may not of shown it very often, but it's true. I'm just glad he isn't dead, and he isn't alone. I can't sense Ezra through the Force anymore, our bond as weakened since he left, it is barely even there anymore.

Hera called everyone to the cockpit. I walked into the cockpit to see everyone but Zeb and Sabine. After a minute they come in and sit down. "We have a mission we need to do for Fulcrum, we just need to steal some crates." Hera explained. "Sounds pretty easy." Sabine said. We went over the plans a few times then everyone went to their cabins to rest before the mission.

On the mission everything surprisingly went according to plan for once, we got the crates on the Ghost, took off and went into hyperspace avoiding TIE Fighters. We all met in the cockpit to discuss the mission. "That mission was easy, too easy." Sabine said. "Yeah, we should check over the crates." I said. "We can do that when we get to Lothal." Hera said as we came out of hyperspace and headed towards Lothal.

Hera landed the Ghost and we all headed to the cargo bay to check the crates. I heard a small beeping noise, it was coming from a crate. I walked over and opened the crate, I looked around inside until I found something, a bomb. Before I could say anything to warn the others the bomb went off, it must have been set on a timer so that we would think we were safe, but then it would explode. The explosion lit the Ghost on fire. We were all thrown towards the walls of the Ghost, probably knocking a few of us unconscious. 'We have to get out of this.' I thought.
