Star Wars Rebels 3

Chapter 10: An Inside Man

In the streets of the city, troopers portal as everyone was inside as cur the curfew, Walkers as extra security.

The city wasn't as lively as before, just more controlled. Just on the roof above them. The three Jedi look down at the streets, sadness feels the young teens' hearts as their childhood home was gone.

Ezra looks through the binoculars, seeing the city just beyond the walls. "Look at all those ships." he said, zooming out at the Star Destroyers then he pulls back, looking at Kanan, "Ryder said it was bad, but this is worse than bad. Lothal is out home, Kanan. I can't stand seeing it like this," he states.

Mako flicks her eyes to the ground, "So let's do something about it." Kanan informs him, "If only Ryder would worry hurry up and get here." Ezra points out. Mako blinks her eyes as she saw something darting through the fields. "Can I see those for a second?" she asks.

Ezra handed her the binoculars and she looks through them, getting a closer look at whatever is darting down the fields, "Found him." she calls out, seeing the speeder. "What?" Ezra asks.

Then Chopper's comm went off, the tapped Ezra's shoulder, then he points to where Mako was looking. Mako handed the binoculars back and he looks through them. "There he is. And he's been spotted," he calls out.

The three stood to their feet and took off running, Ryder pulls onto the road, evading the blaster shots as he went right over the blockade, "Hurry. Get on!" he calls out. The Jedi took their chance and jumps right onto the speeder. Ezra lands in the front as Mako and Kanan land in the back and Chopper flew after them and plants himself on the passenger seat. The Imperial chased after them, firing in the hopes of taking the speeder out.

But Ryder just kept going. "Look out! Blockade!" Ezra answers him as a trooper had a cell-powered turret firing at them. "Switch!" Mako calls out. Ryder began turning the speeder, and Kanan and Ezra switch positions as Mako held onto the back.

Then Ezra fired at the trooper as Ryder turns back and charges right back through the street. The troopers were right behind them, Ezra tries to take them out, but Walker fired at them.

Then Ryder turns the speeder sideways, Kanan and Ezra ignite their sabers and slide right through the Walkers' legs, taking it out as they left the city. Ryder just chuckles as he turns the speeder back. "Sure is good to have you back on Lothal," he tells them, looking at the Jedi.

"I think you're the only one who feels that way, Ryder," Kanan assures them as the speeder drove down the highway with the two Speeders on them still. "Uh, Ryder, what's the plan? We can't outrun these guys." Ezra informs him.

"Don't need to outrun 'em. Just need 'em up to 190." Ryder informs them, Mako blinks, "190?" she asks, then looks back. "Does this thing go up to 190?" Kanan asks, deflecting a shot. "Sometimes. Think fast thoughts," he tells them.

The troopers kept firing at them, and as some shots hit, Chopper grumbles at Ryder with frustration as Ezra and Kanan were deflecting the shots, "I'm thinking fast thoughts. Nothing happening." Ezra snaps, Mako just remained squatted, looking back at the troopers "Mako, chime in, anytime." Ezra calls out, deflecting a shot. Mako hesitated, looking down at her saber for a moment, her hand hovering at her saber for a moment.

"AHH!!" "KANAN!!"

"A perfect addition to the Inquisitors." "You cannot ignore me, little one." "I will always find you."

The words and memories echoed in her mind, as her fear was taking over again, she began to pull her hand away from her saber, the doubt was still strong in her mind. "Mako," Ezra calls out again, she snaps out of her trance and looks back at him. "I..." she starts, but the words couldn't form.
