A Rebel's Destiny

Chapter 26

It's been a month since Sabine stayed behind with her family and the hunter wasn't going to lie he was starting to miss her a little too much they chatted every now and then via the holo it seemed as though her relatives wanted him to visit again he wasn't sure why, his guess it was simply to get to know the man that managed to capture Sabine's heart. As it stood he was still doing fine in terms of missions but when it came to off-time he was training using the force trying to mend subclass with others as a fragment of other ones rather than a full subclass Kanan came to him with the idea a while ago and the hunter thought it was crazy, but now that he had the time he felt as though he could do it. Waiting for his super to charge up was a pain, but he could care less using the force to redirect a blade barrage towards a few troopers blocking his path, before running to commandeer a shuttle and began flying away off of Lothal "this is refreshing isn't it Sam?" The hunter asked as they flew off still in his disguise "yup! It's been awhile." She said as chopper chirped in annoyance and AP-5 made a simulated grunt of annoyance before they broke orbit being struck by a fighter and was pulled in by a cruiser's tractor cannon "well, it's time I guess." The hunter said held up his hands as two troopers entered aiming their blasters at the hunter.

Two troopers grabbed him pulling him into the cruiser he grunted faking a struggle as he was pushed "let me go! You're making a mistake!" He said his voice distorted by the helm "remove his helmet." He heard Kallus order revealing his scarred face and white and red shaded hair the hunter scowled "What're you looking at, Imperial scum?" He asked with fake anger "bring him to the detention cells." Kallus said turning a walking forward the hunter felt one of the troopers take off the blaster he had on "hey, be careful with that." He said as he was pushed forward making him walk "commander, I found two more." A trooper from behind said "droids?" The superior asked "we were aboard the shuttle when it was stolen." AP said as the commander sighed "well, stay here and wait for processing." He said turning and moving forward "oh, we can do that. We can do that just fine." AP said looking down to Chopper who grunted.

The hunter was led to a cell and pushed in falling down the stairs and crashing to the hard metal floor "leave us. I'll interrogate him myself." Kallus said looking to the troopers who nodded and walked away the hunter looked to the camera which disabled "don't you realize how dangerous it is for you to be here? Especially after what the empire found out about you?" Kallus asked referring to his resurrection turns out the imperial Mandos had cameras on their helmets and they captured him coming back "if anyone recognizes you..." Kallus started up stepping forward "they wont. You know how big the empire is. Most troopers don't even know what I look like now." Ezra said referring to his hair "I hope that's true for both our sakes. If they discover you here, I'll be executed for treason!" Kallus yelled making the hunter chuckle "you might be anyway. We think the empire was monitoring your last Fulcrum transmission." Sam explained popping out "so you got captured to warn me?" The spy asked shocked at the stupidity "nope. To get you out of here." Ezra said making the blonde man sigh "well, I guess I have no choice now." Kallus said angrily as Ezra walked around "look. I'm not happy about it, either. For all I know, you're playing a long game to set us up." The hunter said "I could say the same to you. I suppose for now, we'll just have to trust each other." Kallus said as a voice was heard from the door "open this door!" Someone yelled making the hunter grab Kallus' wrist as Sam dematerialized the hunter nodded before making the spy punch him hard, he fell to the floor with a crack breaking his nose with Kallus' fist and making it leak blood "stop, I'll tell you anything!" Ezra shouted in fake fear as blood trickled "a confession already ? You are good. But it will have to wait. Admiral Thrawn's fleet just arrived, and he has summoned us aboard his ship. Bring the prisoner." The officer said looking to the trooper "the prisoner?" Kallus asked as Ezra was pulled to his feet "to show the Grand Admiral how effective I am in dealing with the rebel threat." The officer said as Ezra faked a struggle "he's a bounty hunter, not a rebel." Kallus lied as the officer rolled his eyes "he's from Lothal. That's enough." He said arrogantly pulling him along back to the port "excuse me." AP said holding up a hand "I did not request any droids to accompany us." The officer said making the hunter sigh blood still dripping from his nose feeling the iron smelling liquid stick to the back of his throat "my counterpart has a recording of the shuttle theft. Protocol is for us to provide it as testimony against the thief." AP said as the officer rolled his eyes "very well." The man said walking past the droids entering an imperial transport.
