Y/N's P.O.V

The whole crew is now up in the cockpit as we're waiting to see what Chopper found.

Hera and I are sitting face to face as she holds my hands in hers.

Hera: I'm so proud of you, Y/N. You stepped up and took the lead. Kanan's taught you well.

Y/N: So have you.

She smiles.

Sabine: Guys, I think we may have something.

We all look at Sabine.

Sabine: Kanan is on Governor Tarkin's Destroyer known as the Sovereign. It's still here above on Lothal, but it's scheduled to leave soon.

Hera: Where to?

Sabine: The Mustafar System?

When Sabine said that I knew exactly what she was talking about.

Zeb: The Mustafar System?

Sabine: I've never heard of it. Hera?

Hera sighs.

Hera: I've only heard that name once.

Y/N: I've heard it before too.

They all look at me.

Hera: You have?

Y/N: Yeah, Kanan told me about Mustafar.

Sabine: What'd he say?

Y/N: He told me... Mustafar is a planet where Jedi go to die.

We all sit/stand there in silence wondering what we were gonna do now.

(Two hours later)

It's now dark out and we have the idea to steal an Imperial transport ship.

We'll use it to get close to Tarkin's Star Destroyer when it's over Mustafar.

Sabine is currently in there distracting the stormtroopers while Zeb and I wait for an opening.

Y/N: Sabine's distraction is working.

Zeb and I then run over to the transport ship and board it.

Once we make it to the cockpit I activate the ship and get ready for take-off.

As we're taking off I see Sabine standing on top of a T.I.E fighter.

She runs along it and jumps on to the transport.

As we're leaving the base I look back and see an explosion that has destroyed the base along with all of it's T.I.E's.

Sabine then joins us in the cockpit.

Y/N: Nice work, Sabine.

Sabine: Thanks, Flyboy. I do my best work.

After that we fly away and stash the transport somewhere the Empire won't find it.

(The next day)

The three of us along with Hera, Jacen and the droid's are in a briefing about the next stage of the plan.

We're looking over a holomap of the planet Mustafar.

Hera: The transport you guys stole will get us close to the fleet over Mustafar. We know that they have Kanan on Tarkin's Star Destroyer.

Zeb: And it's surrounded by a bunch of other Star Destroyers.

Hera: Uh, lots more.

Y/N: Yeah. We'll need a distraction to cover our entry. Sabine?

Sabine: Well, the engine room's here, all the power for the ship. If we could get inside the docking bay I could rig something to black 'em out. But our transport ship's not gonna fit I'm there.

Y/N: Damn it. You're right.

Hera: Then we need something small enough to get into the hanger bay. It's too bad we blew up all those T.I.E's back at that base.

Y/N: Well, there is one T.I.E left, but it's not at the base.

Zeb immediately looks at me as he knows I'm referring to the T.I.E he and I stole awhile back.

Kanan told us to get rid of it, but we didn't. 

Zeb: Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

Y/N: Come on, Zeb. For Kanan.

He sighs.

Zeb: Alright.

Sabine sits down looking as guilty as Zeb and I.

Hera: What's going on?

Y/N: Well, you remember that T.I.E that Zeb and I stole awhile back? We didn't exactly crash it.

Hera: And by "didn't exactly," you mean...

Y/N: We didn't crash it. We kept it, hidden.

Hera: You all knew about this?

We all nod with guilty looks on our faces.

Hera: I should be angry. I should yell at you for disobeying a direct order. But right now, I'm just thankfully we got it.

Sabine and I look at each other.

Y/N: Yeah, there still might be a problem.

Hera: What kind of problem?

Zeb: Yeah, what kind of problem?

Sabine and I look at each other, then back to Zeb and Hera and shrug.

Sabine: It's probably better if we show you.

We then all leave to go get the T.I.E.

(Ten minutes later)

Sabine, Hera, Jacen, Zeb and I are know at the hidden location of the T.I.E fighter.

We all look at the new paint job of the T.I.E.

Zeb: Okay. Well, this is awful.

Sabine: What? It's some of my best work.

Y/N: That it is.

Jacen: I like it.

Hera: It'll have to do.

Zeb: I thought you were supposed to be the sane one. This plan is as crazy as those colours.

Hera goes up and stands infront of all of us.

Hera: Yes, this mission may not make military sense. But Kanan is family, and we've all lose enough family to the Empire. So rescuing him makes sense to me. Now, I'm not ordering any of you to come along, but you have to decide now. In or out?

Y/N: I'm in. Without a doubt.

Sabine: I'm in too.

Jacen: Me too.

Zeb then sighs.

Zeb: Karabast, I'm in. What do we do about that?

Hera: Well, there's no time to fix it, besides the Imperial's will only scan. By the time the Imperial's see it...

Sabine: It'll be too late.

Y/N: Alright then, let's do this.

It's time to get Kanan back.
