EXT. LOTHAL CITY - DAY

Ezra walks through the bustling streets of Lothal City, filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation. As he explores, he stumbles upon a poster on a nearby wall. The poster features a vibrant image of HERA SYNDULLA, dancing gracefully, with the title "Hera the Dancing Twi'lek" written in bold letters.

EZRA (perplexed) Hera... dancing? What is this?

Ezra's confusion quickly turns to concern as he notices a shipyard nearby. His eyes widen as he sees the unmistakable outline of the Ghost among the other ships being sold.

EZRA (freaked out) No... It can't be!

Before Ezra can react, a group of golden B1 BATTLE DROIDS, remnants of the Separatist army, emerge from the shadows, surrounding him.

EZRA (tense) What's going on? Who are you?

B1 BATTLE DROID #1 (raising blasters) You are under arrest for unauthorized presence in the shipyard. Surrender now!

Ezra's eyes dart around, searching for an escape route, but he realizes he's outnumbered and outgunned. He takes a deep breath, readying himself for what comes next.

EZRA (defiantly) You won't take me without a fight!

Before Ezra can make a move, the B1 Battle Droids stun him with their blasters, causing him to collapse to the ground.

INT. UNRECOGNIZABLE VEHICLE - DAY

Ezra slowly regains consciousness, his head throbbing. As he looks around, he realizes he's inside an unfamiliar vehicle, his wrists bound in cuffs. Panic begins to creep into his eyes.

EZRA (groggy) Where am I? What's happening?

The B1 Battle Droids stand guard nearby, their mechanical voices sounding cold and unfeeling.

B1 BATTLE DROID #1 (indifferently) Do not attempt to escape. You are under arrest.

Ezra's heart races as he tries to make sense of the situation. Fear and worry consume him.

EZRA (whispering to himself) How did this happen? What did I do?

Ezra strains against the restraints, testing their strength, but they hold firm. He realizes that fighting his way out won't be an easy task.

B1 BATTLE DROID #2 (stepping closer) Stay still and remain quiet. Any resistance will be met with force.

Ezra's mind races, searching for a way out, but his options seem limited. He takes a deep breath, attempting to calm himself and think clearly.

EZRA (to himself, determined) I have to find a way out of this. I can't let them take me without a fight.

INT. MYSTERIOUS BASE - DAY

The vehicle comes to a stop as the B1 Battle Droids escort Ezra into the base. Ezra's eyes widen as he takes in the vast and ominous surroundings.

EZRA
(confused)
Where are you taking me?

The B1 Battle Droids lead Ezra further into the base until they reach a chamber where RUMPLESTILTSKIN awaits, sitting on a grand chair, wearing a mischievous grin.

RUMPLESTILTSKIN
(laughing)
Ah, Ezra! So good of you to join us. I must admit, this was all a false alarm.

B1 BATTLE DROID #1
(confused)
But, sir, he signed the contract...

RUMPLESTILTSKIN
(waving his hand dismissively)
Oh, it was all part of the plan, my dear droids. No need to worry.

Ezra looks at Rumplestiltskin, his expression a mix of confusion and anger.

EZRA
(angry)
What is all of this? Why am I here?

RUMPLESTILTSKIN
(chuckling)
Well, my dear Ezra, when you signed the contract, you inadvertently created a world in my image. A world where I have control over your destiny.

Ezra's realization sinks in, his face pale with regret.

EZRA
(disbelieving)
No... I didn't understand the consequences.

Rumplestiltskin's smile widens as he revels in Ezra's despair.

RUMPLESTILTSKIN
(laughing)
Oh, dear boy, regrets are such delightful things. But now, it's time for your punishment.

RUMBLE OF TRANSFORMING MECHANICAL PARTS.

Before Rumplestiltskin can give the order, the vehicle that transported Ezra suddenly transforms, revealing itself to be RATCHET, the Autobot medic.

RATCHET
(gruff voice)
Time to get out of here, kid!

Ratchet swiftly scoops up Ezra, evading the Battle Droids, and bursts through the walls of the base, making a daring escape.

EXT. MYSTERIOUS BASE - DAY

As they race away from the base, Ezra clings onto Ratchet, a mix of relief and awe washing over him.

EZRA
(amazed)
Who are you?

RATCHET
(smirking)
I'm Ratchet, Autobot medic. Just consider me your ride to freedom.

Ezra looks back at the disappearing base, realizing the danger he narrowly escaped.

EZRA
(grateful)
Thank you, Ratchet. I don't know what I would've done without you.

RATCHET
(nods)
No problem, kid. We Autobots stick together.

FADE TO:

INT. RUMPLESTILTSKIN'S LAIR - DAY

Rumplestiltskin, wearing an angry wig, looks into a mirror, contorting his face into an exaggerated expression of anger.

C-3PO, a golden protocol droid, approaches him, holding the wig.

C-3PO
(slightly puzzled)
Here is your "angry" wig, Master Rumplestiltskin. Do you require any further assistance?

Rumplestiltskin takes the wig from C-3PO, placing it on his head, and smirks mischievously.

RUMPLESTILTSKIN
(chuckling)
No C-3po that will be all.

And C-3po leaves leaving rumple angry.
