In the cargo hold Ezra flipped a knife waiting "Can we discuss this later?" He heard Kanan said he heard the Jedi sighed as he and Hera climbed down the ladder into the cargo hold "That's fine, love. But we will discuss it" Hera said scowling at them as the two reached the bottom R2 rolled forward and beeped "Oh, right. This R2 says its real mission was to make sure the T-7s never reached the Empire, and that his master will pay handsomely for their return" Sabine said as she placed a hand on her hip. "I'll think about it" Kanan replied "So, we're not selling the droids, but we're selling the T-7s? We don't even know who Vizago's buyer is." Zeb scowled "We know it's not the Empire, and I already made a deal with Vizago. So, let's get these crates off the boat." Kanan ordered as the knife Ezra was playing with landed into it's holster "let's go then." The hunter said petting the holstered knife.

In meeting area the crew had the crates opened and a man inspected the T-7s "Oh. I can make some beautiful music with these." Vizago said as he picked up one of the T-7s "They're not that kind of instruments!" Zeb spat arms crossed obviously pissed "Ah. You just have to know how to play them. And how to play those who want to buy them." Vizago said aiming the blaster to the sky inspecting the weapon "You have to buy them from us first." Ezra said as he crossed his arms his helmet hid the paranoid look on his face something was telling him that this was a trap but he held off "Finally. Someone on your crew who understands business." Vizago said smiling, he looked at the hunter more closely "ah, another Mandalorian. Where do you find these guys? I could really use one of you, I'll pay you a lot of credits" he offered causing the hunter to hold up a finger "uh actually I'm-" the hunter started but was interrupted "Let's just get this over with." Kanan interrupted his hand over the hunter's chest to stop him from a bad decision. Before Vizago could say anything else an engine could be heard in the distance. Everyone turned their head to see a transporter approach them that carried to walkers "What is this? You were followed!" Vizago spat as The Ghost crew readied their weapons Ezra pulled out Ace from it's holster ready for a fight when Hera spoke up "That's not possible!" Hera exclaimed in anger stepping forward "Tell it to the Empire! Leave the rest, we're gone!" Vizago climbing onto his speeder leaving half of the crates behind "You haven't paid us!" Kanan yelled grabbing him by the shoulder stopping him "Cikatro Vizago doesn't pay for half a shipment. And he doesn't pay for trouble with Imperials." Vizago said as he pushed Kanan's hand away and claimed onto the speeder "My friends, I hope you live to bargain another day. And if you don't eh." Vizago shrugged driving off the hunter cursed in an unknown language "well there goes our credits." The hunter stated in anger looking at the imperial ships that got close to landing "Shouldn't we be going too?" Sabine asked pulling her two pistols out "We can't let these disruptors fall into imperial hands. Sabine, destroy the guns."Kanan ordered getting himself settled for a fight just in case "Ha. Now you're speaking my language. I'll go get my gear." Sabine said the joy she felt practically glowed off her quickly entering The Ghost before exiting with things Ezra pushed items in front of him incase of a skirmish "R2-D2, stop! What are you doing?" 3PO said as he chased after R2 who beeped as he rolled over to the crate of T-7s "Joining the crew?" 3PO asked the two walked over to Sabine who was setting her explosives.

Sabine looked down to R2 as he beeped and picked up one of the T-7s "Of course. Overload the disruptors, and boom! Good call, little guy. You can join our crew anytime." Sabine happily said as she patted R2s top "Well, short my circuits." 3PO scoffed walking away to cover "Hera, help Sabine open the crates. Zeb, Ezra, line 'em up. Meanwhile, I'll deal with the walkers." Kanan ordered as everyone took action the hunter closed his eyes focusing on the feeling of strand flowing through him he exhaled "you got this Ezzy, flow with the river." Sam said as the hunter's eyes opened Kanan immediately took action and took one of the T-7s, he fired at one of the walkers and it immediately fell to the ground. Before he could fire on the other one, it fired knocking him off his feet. Kanan immediately took action and took one of the T-7s, he fired at one of the walkers and it immediately fell to the ground. Before he could fire on the other one, it fired knocking him off his feet. Hera did her best to draw its attention, when she did it worked at the walker began to chase her. Ezra saw her in trouble and ran. He tackled her out of the way saving her life from another blast "help the others, I got this." Ezra reassured the captain as he stood up and ran towards the walker using the web like subclass to swing to the top of the walker and began lifting the roof entrance his strength was not that of a titan but if Lady Efrideet can throw a titan like Saladin as far as she did he could wrench this entrance open. While Ezra kept the other walker busy everyone else dealt with the troopers as the transporter landed and a squad of troopers stepped out "Advance and fire!" Kallus ordered as the sqaud marched forward firing "Thank you. Thank you. I knew some form of rescue would arrive. I told R2, but he thinks so ill of stormtroopers." C3PO said as he walked forward but stopped win he realized they were firing "Wait! Don't shoot! Don't shoot! You're here to rescue me!" 3PO shouted as he turned around and ran back the hunter raised a brow as he saw this from the top confused he went back to wrenching the entrance open when over the comm "Chopper, ready the ship for takeoff!" Hera shouted as she, Kanan, Zeb, and Sabine took cover took cover and fired "You! Lasat! Face me!" Kallus shouted walking forward and took his weapon from his back. Zeb looked out from behind cover and saw Kallus staring at him holding the same weapon he had. His anger grew even more and stepped out from behind cover and charged at Kallus "Wait! Zeb!" Kanan shouted as he and Kallus met each other. The two fought each other in an epic display both showing a great amount of skill, Zeb got the upper hand and knocked Kallus over on his stomach "Only the honor guard of Lasan may carry a bo-rifle!" Zeb scowled walking forward. "I know. I removed it from a guardsman myself." Kallus laughed standing back up and attacking somehow pushing the Lasat back "I was there when Lasan fell. I know why you fear those disruptors. I gave the order to use them." Kallus snarled both got ready and charged to attack each other again "That fool Lasat's gonna get himself killed!" Kanan yelled as they continued to fire at the troopers "Okay. We're ready." Sabine said the crew heard and looked at her before retreating "EZRA, GET OFF OF THAT!" she shouted, the hunter lifted the entrance throwing his kunai like strand blade which flew around the room killing the men inside before the blade came back to his hand catching it he stuck it in it's holster. Ezra looked to the Mandalorian and realized what she was trying to do, quickly he jumped off using strand's grapple to get there falling short next to the disruptors he began running towards Sabine "Everyone, push!" Sabine said seeing that Ezra was getting clear but she, 3PO and R2 pushed too early. As the disrupters hit the walker they overloaded. The blast sent Ezra flying through the air.
