A Rebel's Destiny

Chapter 28

Hera, Doddona, and Wedge were standing around the command center's Holotable "Thrawn is planning for a planetary bombardment. How's the shield coming, Zeb?" Hera asked "we're about to fire it up now. Rex and I have done out best, but this is really Sabine's baby." Zeb said over the comm "then it should work." Hera said looking over the plan "should, yes, but there are a lot of modifications and special fuses. We never got to test it while Sabine was still here, so if it overloads, I'm not sure we can fix it." Rex said "let's hope you don't have to. Fire it up!" Hera ordered looking over the Thrawn's fleet "copy that." Zeb replied whirring noises came from the engine "it's working. The shield is stabilized!" The lasat said making Hera smirk "nice work boys." She said before clicking over to her second channel "Kanan, do you copy?" The Twi'lek asked hearing a speeder bike moving "I hear you, Hera." He said making her nod "Thrawn is planning an orbital bombardment. You need to get back to base immediately." She said "I'm moving as fast as I can." He said "faster. Please." She ordered looking over the targets "alright, Thrawn. Your move." She said crossing her arms and waiting for updates "we have incoming fire." Dodonna informed making Hera look to the sky which had a cloud that looked like it was going to rain green lightning "Kanan, find cover now!" Hera yelled covering her eyes from the blinding green light it bombarded the shield hitting it with absolutely no signs of stopping then it stopped suddenly Hera gave a sigh in relief "Kanan, Kanan, do you copy?" She asked hearing a groan she gave another sigh of relief "I'm getting the feeling Thrawn's actually trying to kill us this time." He said from the other side making her a bit angry "oh, that is only funny because you're still alive. Now, please, come home, love." She said rubbing her eyes.

Scene change

Ezra and Crow jumped out of hyperspace "here goes nothing." The hunter thought as he broke orbit turning on his radio and repeating Mando'a words that Sabine taught him to say for clearance, immediately after speaking into the comm he was escorted by two space crafts "Bridger, you have permission to land, follow us in." A pilot said leading him close by Ezra sighed grateful that he said the code right "now Crow no hitting on anyone here." Ezra joked as they landed "ouch, you think so little of me Ez." The awoken male joked back as they climbed out making their way to the Wren resident.

The human hunter was the first in seeing Sabine standing looking over some kind of hologram Geralt inspected it with her as Ursa looked at the door seeing her son in-law "well look who came to visit." She said crossed arms and an angry look making the hunter stop and Crow to look to the hunter with a smirk Sabine rolled her eyes and turned "Ezra! What's going on? Why are you here?" She asked making the hunter rub the back of his neck seeing her "oh you know, got to make sure you don't mess up after learning all your new abilities." He joked before Sam bumped the side of his head making him groan as Chopper chirped her an answer "you escaped? What's he talking about?" Sabine questioned as the hunter rubbed the back of his head "Thrawn ambushed us on Atollon." Ezra said looking down "and as Ezra put it you're our only chance for help." Crow added balancing a knife on his finger making the human hunter look back "thank you Crow, now I look like I'm asking for help." He said making the Awoken hunter shrug stepping forward Rau looked to the two "you have poor timing, Bridger." He said making him sigh "we're in the middle of a civil war. Clan Saxon has the empire's backing, and our forces are stretched to their limit just to protect what ground we have." Ursa said "Mother, there must be something we can do." Sabine said standing next to Ezra holding his hand "please. We risked everything to get here. At least hear me out." Ezra said bowing his head getting a weird look from Crow and surprised from Sabine as Ursa sighed and nodded.

Scene change

Osiris flew through slip space before he exited appearing infront of earth he gave a smile before getting on his radio "last city to Osiris, we found him." He said going in to land "copy that Osiris does he need medical or anything?" The voice of his apprentice said "yeah he needs help, I've got a schematic of a new FTL drive that will get us to his location, we need to send guardians over to help." Osiris said "go ahead and land, we'll consult over our options." Ikora said over the radio "no. There's no time to talk about it we've got to take action trust me Ikora." Osiris said making the warlock vanguard sigh "fine land in bay 2 and we'll discuss while who we'll send." Ikora said making the old warlock smile.
