A Rebel's Destiny

Chapter 4

In cargo hold training exercises were commencing "Focus. Focus on letting go." Kanan told Ezra as he stood next to Zeb and Chopper. He looked forward to Ezra as stood with his hands and his feet in the air "learning a subclass usually isn't this hard, another thing Letting go? No thanks, I'm good with hanging on" Ezra joked with his eyes closed trying to balance himself on the roof of The Ghost as it hovered high in the sky. Sam materialized and watched "Kanan I must say these lessons are good and all, but finding one of those force wells first might be perfect for this." Sam said staring at Ezra amusingly "we would if we could but until you find one we can't, and you Enough jokes, and Focus." Kanan said observing the hunter, he noticed that Ezra was doing a good job of steadying himself upside down. "I'm trying but Hunter's are known for their joking nature." Ezra explained as he rocked back and forth "Do or do not. There is no try" Kanan said vaguely placing his hands on his sides "see now what in the Traveler's name does that mean! It makes no sense. How can I do something if I don't try to do it?" Ezra said as he opened his eyes and looked back at Kanan "Well, see... actually, that one always confused me too. But Master Yoda sure used to say it a lot." Kanan admitted rubbing the back of his this caused the guardian to make an annoyed face "I really thought this Jedi stuff would be more interesting." Zeb said sounding annoyed as he stood up and stretched "No wonder the old religion died. Come on, Ezra. Do something. Amuse me. Use the Force!" He said walking up to Ezra. Zeb laughed as he violently shook the turret Ezra was hand standing on knocking him over and off the edge into a box landing on his neck a sickly crack was heard causing the two to wince "ow." The hunter stated as Sam flew over and healed him the crack was heard again "ow son of a shank!" The hunter exclaimed as he rubbed his neck "Does he have to be here?" Ezra asked standing up and Kanan walked towards him "He's annoying, but there will always be distractions. You need to learn to focus through them." The jedi said as he looked out over the horizon "Here. Let's try something else." Kanan said taking his saber off his belt and handing it to Ezra, he smiled as he took the lightsaber from Kanan's hand and activated it "so, when do I get my own?" He asked as he gave it a confident hunter's twirl "Having a lightsaber doesn't make you a Jedi." Kanan reminded him the hunter scoffed "it'll be kickass though." The hunter said under his breath "Okay. Close your eyes" Kanan instructed as Ezra complied and closed his eyes. Kanan walked away as he saw Chopper pick up one of the cups "Let him have it, Chopper." The jedi ordered 'Womp Womp' Chopper said as he threw the cup at Ezra who skillfully slashed it into two once and once again twirling the saber with a graceful Hunter's twirl "too eas..." the started but was interrupted by a cup hitting him square in the head causing him to scowl "pay attention and, keep the blade Up." Kanan said wincing at Ezra getting hit Zeb laughed hard at the site "That's it, Ezra. Use your body to slow down that trash." he said Ezra twirled the saber as he tried to zone him out, and focused. Focused hard, it was as if everything around him had disappeared. He couldn't help but feel somewhat at peace, then he felt that same feeling again, a warning. In one flued motion Ezra span the saber in different directions "whoa." Kanan said quietly in surprise. As Chopper through each cup Ezra was using his instincts to anticipate the cup's movement he couldn't help but put on a proud smile as he watched Zeb on the other hand was getting bored again, rolling his eyes he picked up the entire box of cups and dumped it on Chopper who took full advantage of the situation and through all of them in a rapid-fire motion Ezra opened his eyes to see a wave of cups come at him, in the shock he panicked and swung blindly at them but missed most causing them to hit him directly in the head over and over again. Knocking him back again and again. Knocking him over the edge of the ship "son of a shank!" The hunter yelled as he fell "Ezra!" Zeb shouted as they saw him fall over the edge Sam quickly followed the hunter catching up when Ezra fell onto the turret window where Sabine was sitting "EZRA!" Sabine shouted as she stood up and looked at him franticly watching as Sam dematerialized 'sam change blink to triple jump.' He thought to the ghost as he looked to the Mandalorian "oh uh. Hey Sabine." Ezra said slowly sliping down the window "how's your day going? Because looks like I'm falling for someone." He joked as he lost the last of his grip on the window and he fell of the ship and through the clouds Ezra screamed as he fell through the clouds "whoa" he said as he slowed down and eventually stopped "what the hell?" he questioned as he looked up and saw the Ghost descended through the clouds. He narrowed his eyes as he could see Kanan on the Ghosts roof with his hand extended and his eyes closed the hunter "Zeb!" Kanan shouted as the Ghost cargo bay ramp open to revealed Zeb standing on the edge of it with his hand extended towards him. Ezra reached out his hand trying to reach Zeb he used triple jump to get close catching "Got him!" Zeb shouted as he grabbed Ezra's hand and pulled Ezra towards him making himself fall on his back with flipping to a standing position. Zeb looked up to see Ezra standing over him and couldn't help from sighing and resting his head back.

Small Timeskip

Back in the lounge Ezra relaxed on the couch "You weren't focused." Kanan said as he climbed down the ladder into the lounge "Tough to focus when I'm falling to my death." The hunter said rolling his eyes "You wouldn't have been falling to your death if you were focused. You're undisciplined and full of self-doubt." Kanan said as he placed a hand on Ezra's shoulder making him swat the hand off "No, it had nothing to do with being focused. I was falling to my death because of an astromech with a psychotic behavior, and a Lasat with too much free time." The hunter explained with a annoyed look on his face Kanan couldn't help but sigh heavily as he placed his hand on the top of his nose "It's difficult to teach." Kanan said before turning to leave "He means it's difficult to teach you." Zeb scowled as he poked Ezra in the chest before leaving for the shared room. Ezra sighed in guilt as he walked forward after him "Kanan..." he said quietly pinching his nose "Shh. You made the Holonet." he heard Sabine say as he looked over to the table to see everyone gathered around it "The stolen TIE fighter was later used to attack a transport full of innocent workers." the announcer said as it showed some images of the event "liars! Gah We set 'em free." Zeb spat angrily as he crossed his arms but before anyone else could respond the image of the Tie cut out and was replaced with the image of what looked like some personal portrait of some old guy "Citizens, this is Senator-in-exile Gall Trayvis. I bring more news the Empire doesn't want you to hear." a new male voice said "Who's Gall Trayvis?" Ezra asked as he raised a brow and looked to Sam "The only member of the Imperial Senate with the courage to speak out publicly against the Empire" Hera informed "it feels weird usually I'm the one that informs him on certain things." His ghost said One of the Republic's greatest peacekeepers, Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, is alive" Ezra didn't even need to look to see the shocked expressions of Kanan and Hera "She has been imprisoned unlawfully somewhere in the Stygeon system. As citizens, we demand the Emperor produce Master Unduli and grant her a fair trial before the entire Sen marking another successful planetary liberation utilizing the Base Delta Zero initiative." The man stated Ezra looked to the jedi "This Luminara You knew her?" Ezra asked Kanan as he turned to face him.

He had a look of thought in his face "I met her. Once. She was a great Jedi Master brave, compassionate, disciplined. In fact, she'd make an excellent teacher for you." he said nodding back to Ezra "There've always been rumors she survived the Clone Wars, but they never came with a specific location before. We can't pass this up" Kanan told Hera "Was hoping you'd say that. I'll set course for the Stygeon system. The rest of you, prep for an op." Hera said before leaving for the cock-pit. Zeb grabbed Ezra's shoulder before leaving behind Kanan "oh goody" Sabine says as she jumped over the table "and I just so happen to have finished your hood this morning." she explained Ezra chuckled as he turned to face her "oh yeah?" He asked with a smirk and crossed arms "ok, Sabine. Let's see how good of an artist you really are." Ezra said "Right this way." she said confidently as she led Ezra to her room Ezra smiled as he followed her. As Sabine opened the door Ezra walked in behind her, closing the door behind him. He turned to see Sabine standing in the middle of the room smiling at him with her hands behind his back and one of her legs bent "ok." Ezra said softly as he took a single step forward "what have you got?" He asked Sabine smiled as she reached to her side revealing the hood "hmmm pretty good I like it." He stated a smile crossed her face as he stared at the Ace of Spades next to it was the Tex Mechanica logo over a pink covered cloak "quick question why is it pink?" The hunter asked Sabine scoffed "this isn't pink it's lightish red." She stated looking at the man "yeah they have a word for that it's called pink." Ezra argued they continued with this argument as the ship went into hyper drive continuing to their destination.
