A Rebel's Destiny

Chapter 9

~The time has come and so have I

Lyrics played as Ezra trained with Murasama he was blocking lasers from a training droid. It's been three weeks since he's been rescued from that star destroyer, after he woke up in the medical bay the team filled him in on what happened when he was away. He was in the destroyer for four days, it was odd cause he could of swore it was at least ten days. Hera told him that Kanan and Sabine where looking for him with more determination then she's ever seen. Kanan even made a deal with Vizago and told him he was a Jedi. He found out that Fulcrum was Ahsoka and that she was a Jedi from the clone wars, which he was confused about but he just focused on what they told him. There was a lot that Ezra missed it bothered him a bit, but he hid it well. Then there was this they wanted to 'ease him' back into the excitement which made him a bit angry for he's been training with this bloody thing since the hunter got to full strength. They were surprised by the two scars on his body the cheek where the saber cut into him and elbow where his arm got cut off, but as he said 'he didn't want to forget those two battles, to prevent any other attacks like that.'

~I'll laugh last cause you came to die

Once he got settled in, the captain of the ship came to speak with him, Ezra didn't think much of commander Sato but he seemed like a decent man and it was good to hear that there were more people actually fighting the empire instead of just saying they were. Sabine stayed with him every night to make sure he was alright it was nice Though after he was cleared from the medical bay Sabine punched him across the face for staying behind, he was ordered to keep it calm and not do anything that puts too much strain on the body. Which is why he wasn't on the current mission with the rest of the team to steel some supply's "keep your blade up" he heard Ahsoka say from behind him "it's easier to drop it then it is to raise it" she said before a bolt struck his left arm.

~The damage done the pain subsides

Ezra gasped stumbling a few steps back before the droid shut off that's when the music cut off. Ezra sighed before shutting his Muramasa off twirling it and placed it on his belt. Turning around he saw Ahsoka leaning against the wall. She kicked herself off of it and walked towards him as Ezra stretched his arms, wincing as he did "still bad?" She asked stopping in front of him. The hunter looked at her "Why does everyone keep treating me like I'm made of paper I'm an immortal being for the Traveler's sake!" The hunter said sitting down on the floor "I know what your going through but you just got hurt and..." she started "and what! I was fine the second I got food in my system, and ever since I got back I haven't gotten to do anything without someone helping with out asking, I've taken on a god in a worse condition!" The hunter yelled before sighing rubbing his eyes the former Jedi patted his shoulder telling him to let it out "look hunter's need to be on job to be living, I'm fine but they won't listen to me." He explained looking at the training droid "Master Tano, commander Sato requests yourself and the Jedi to report to the bridge as soon as possible. The Ghost team and Phoenix one as returned." he informed before leaving to room. Ahsoka turned to Ezra only to find that he was already walking past her to the bridge. She smiled at him knowing why he was in a rush, he wanted to see Sabine and everyone knew it. She was a slightly worried when Hera informed her that he and Sabine had entered a romantic relationship, she was going to talk to Ezra about it but when she went to see him. She saw that he was asleep with Sabine sleeping on his chest, she could sense through the force just how happy they both where and that it would be useless to even try.

Ezra opened the door to see Sato speaking out loud to the Ghost crew who were scattered around the room "You and your crew have proven invaluable to our fleet, Captain Syndulla. The fuel acquired in your convoy attacks has helped keep us one step ahead of Imperial patrols." Sato said as Ezra made his way to Sabine who was standing by the holo-table. She smiled at him as he reached her "Thank you, Commander Sato. I'm just sorry our intel about shield generators being on that shipment was wrong." Hera said as Ashoka stood behind the two "Perhaps with your next attack, Hera." she smiled trying to be supportive Before anyone could say anything else, the door opened and Chopper came in waving his arms about and wailing loudly "What is the meaning of this?" Sato asked annoyed about the interruption "An incoming transmission." Kanan informed the others "Who from, Chop? Ah, why don't you just play it?" He said with a care free attitude which clearly seemed to bug Hera "Uh, Chop, cloak us with a one-way transmission." she ordered the droid. Chopper did as instructed and a hologram came to life, showing the image of a girl "I can't see you, but I can hear you, my friends" he heard the man say to the group "Time is short, and there's someone here desperate to speak with you. I told her I couldn't find you, but she wouldn't take no for an answer. She says she needs your help." he explained and if Ezra didn't know any better, he would say that he sounded a little awkward "We're always ready to help someone in need." Kanan said with a smile as he looked at the rest of the crew sighed before scratching the back of his neck "Yeah, well, this one's different." he said before stepping out of view to make room for the woman who took his place "Minister Tua?" Hera gasped as everyone's eyes widened at the sight of her "Aw, we can't trust her. She's an Imperial!" Zeb said with a scoff crossing his arms "Please, I beg you. Listen to my request." Tua said, well from what Ezra could see more like begged "End transmission now, Chop." Kanan said frowning.
