Star Wars Rebels 3

Chapter 11: Visions and Voices

At Chopper Base the rebels were planning their next attack against the Empire. It was a stormy day, but their shields were holding against the storm.

The Rebels were gathered at the war table, minus Mako, who was back on the Ghost, meditating with her holocron, and Leo, who was working on his ship.

Hera was going over the briefing "Even though we still have some preparations to do before we strike the Empire's factory on Lothal. Mako has dealt a serious blow against them her and Chopper's stunt." she points out, Chopper just chuckles as Leto chirps at him, making Amelia smile, scratching under his chin. "But it won't last long, I want to do a thorough recon trip to update our intel."

"Ezra."

A voice whispers to the young Jedi, causing Ezra to lose focus, but he quickly looks back to Hera, trying to pay attention to the briefing.

"Ezra."

The voice calls to him again, he looks right past Hera, at the men that were chatting among themselves.

And he takes a closer look, seeing a shadow among them, a very tall shadow. "I'm assigning you the mission, Ezra," Hera informs him, but he kept looking off into the distance, the shadow then turns his eyes right to the boy.

This startles him and he tries to get a better look, "Ezra?" Hera calls out, drawing him back in. "Care to join the briefing?" she asks him, "Sorry. Yeah, no, it's just I... I thought I saw something." he stammers, looking back at her, "This is your mission, Ezra. I need your full attention," she informs him.

He nods at her, "Yeah, you've got it. Sorry." he apologizes. "All right. So first you'll slip into the system and study the Empire's orbital defenses," she informs as Ezra does his best to pay attention.

"Ezra."

The voices whispers to him, he tries his best to ignore it but the voice was there, echoing in his ears. Hera's voice was drowned d out as his attention was drawn away from the briefing.

"Ezra."

The voice croaks and the young Jedi's eyes flicked around the base, seeing the dark shadow from the corner of his eyes, walking among the rebels. This startles him, but as he looks again, the shadow was gone.

He jumps as Kanan places his hand on Ezra's shoulder. "Something wrong?" his master asks. Ezra just shook his head. "No, I... I just... I thought I saw something, or someone." he informs him.

Amelia flicks her eyes at him, seeing he was staring off into the distance, she turns and saw no one was there. Hera just looks at him, "The Recon Team leaves as soon as we're loaded up. Questions?" he said, looking at the others. "Is Admiral Thrawn there?" Sabine asks her. "We have reports of an increase in capital ships, but no confirmation as to whether..." Hera began.

"Ezra."

The voice calls to him again, turning his focus away again, looking past Sabine, who was talking to Hera, the shadow passes right behind them, making him jump back and bump into Kanan. Quickly looking up at him. "Ezra, what is it?" Kanan asks. "Ezra?" Amelia calls out as Leto chirps at him.

But Ezra was too startled to even answer and frantically looked around the base, the shadow quickly dives behind the containers, he jumps again and bumps into Zeb, looking right at him,

"Hey, kid, you feeling all right?" he asks, but Ezra looks right past Zeb, seeing the shadow standing right behind him, his hateful eyes staring right back at him. "There! Look!" Ezra shouts, pointing behind Zeb.

But as they looked, there was nothing there. "What am I looking at?" Zeb asks, but Ezra is too panicked to answer. "You don't look very good," Hera informs as she was now worried. "Ezra, can you hear us?" Amelia calls out
