A Rebel's Destiny

Chapter 11

Ezra walked by Kanan as they finished their lesson, it wasn't anything special just the standard dueling, they haven't finished yet of course they still had to do a little work with the force. Ezra wouldn't tell him yet but he had a feeling that some force abilities would be unavailable to him such as it is with light abilities. He stopped worrying about it as they made their way to the lounge "Let's end today's lesson by levitating Chopper." Kanan said he entered to the sight of Sabine leaning back on a chair with her feet up against a console working on her helmet. Chopper next to her plugged into the console also. Zeb and Rex sat together next to the holo playing a game of battle monster. From the look of things Rex was winning."eh alright I guess." Ezra said looking to the Jedi who nodded before he closed his eyes and began to feel around with the force "Focus. Use the Force. Look through the Force." Kanan instructed him while placing a hand on his shoulder. Ezra couldn't help but frown, he locked on to Chopper with the force but he couldn't move him. He was wondering why this was so hard? He's lifted things much harder than this before 'Ezra' He couldn't help but let his frustrations out through the force as he tried to lift the droid "EZRA!" Kanan shouted interrupting him he shook his head and opened his eyes to see Chopper being ripped from the floor with pieces of the metal ground still attached to his feet "oh, shank sorry bud." Ezra said moving his hand to his side cutting the connection he used with the force, Kanan walked forward and placed an arm on his shoulder while Sabine went to check on Chopper who seemed to fine at least "Ezra, you can't let your frustrations get the better of you. It's a path..." he started "the Darkside I know."Ezra interrupted finishing his sentence as he walked forward towards the droid who was being helped by Sabine.

The hunter looked at the droid rubbing the back of his neck "sorry Chop." Ezra said getting on his knees grabbing the other half of the droid and picking him up. Chopper grumbled angrily before tuning to zap him causing Ezra to fall on his butt, Sabine gave him a sympathetic look as he dusted himself off "ok, I deserved that." He said as Chopper grumbled and rode off angrily. Rex stood up from the table and walked over to him "hey Kid, I know it's hard but the Jedi general I served used to get frustrated too but how he dealt with it was building it up and releasing it into meditation." Rex explained and Ezra nodded at that "unless Ashoka was hurt or in danger, in that case he went in guns blazing." The clone added rubbing the back of his neck Kanan stepped forward in-between Ezra and Rex "Ezra knows how to meditate fine, what he needs is more discipline in order to keep his anger in check." Kanan said Rex chuckled at his words "Well, then you better let a soldier handle that." He said placing his hands behind his back and a proud smile on his face "excuse me." Kanan said with an annoyance in his voice. Ezra and Sabine's eyes couldn't help but meet each other's as they shared an eye roll, already expecting the argument to come.

Thankfully before another one of their pissing contests could start, the door opened and an angry Hera with a disrupted Chopper entered. Not stopping Hera went straight for Ezra and lifted her hand, Ezra was taken aback when she flicked his nose "don't hurt my droid." Hera said Ezra looked down to see Chopper looking at him with his small mechanical arms at his sides "I take back my apology." The hunter said with a scowl on his face "enough." Hera said before address everyone else "Sabine I have a mission for you and Chop. Thanks to Captain Rex, I found an old base where we might be able to salvage some much-needed medical supplies. Zeb you should go too." Zeb nodded at her before standing up "Better find the med supplies quick. Captain Wits is about to need them." Kanan said frowning at Rex getting another sigh from Ezra as he saw Sabine and Zeb make their way to the Phantom Rex laughed at his words "So, there's were the boy's lack of discipline comes from, hmm?" he observed with a raised brow Ezra scoffed "wrong actually all hunter come with a lack of discipline." He said with a smirk Kanan made a noise of anger "exactly that's why I- wait are you saying I lack discipline?" Kanan said with a voice full of surprise and annoyance making the hunter make a 'welll' look before Kanan held up a hand "Yeah, that's exactly what I said." Rex stepped closer to Kanan with a challenge in his eyes. Now it was Kanan's time to chuckle, though it was full of much more sarcasim then Rex's "Funny. But a soldier's discipline can't compare to a Jedi's. It takes far more discipline not to fight." The jedi said "oh, so your saying that we should lay down are weapons and ask the empire to surrender?" He asked "No, that isn't what I meant. What I meant is Ezra's got to learn to stay in the moment, be present. You got it, Ezra?" The jedi asked but by the time he turned around Ezra was half way up the ladder to the Phantom he gave a two finger salute "Ezra!" Kanan shouted as the hunter started closing the hatch to the smaller ship "Hey." Zeb said from behind the pilot chair Sabine was sitting in "you weren't assigned this op." The lasat said placing a hand on Ezra's shoulder ready to shove him back down the hatch the hunter scoffed "again I'm a hunter we don't do the authority all that well." He said waving Zeb's hand aside and moving to Sabine's side "But I need a break from another one of their pissing contests. Besides, going to an old base to grab some meds, you need a hunter, and who knows we might find some 'other' loot." the hunter said Sabine sighed and turned to face him "really Ez?" She asked with a scoff Ezra let out a little laugh "oh hush." He leaned in and kissed the top of her head "how bad could it be?" The hunter question taking a seat.
