Information and trust (Star Wars Rebels fanfic; ON HIATUS)

Chapter 8

Behold (I'm kiddin', I'm kiddin'), the last chapter of first part. I'll write next part soon. And, please, tell me what ya' think about this story!

Kanan stood on upper deck. He was angry and scared. Ezra didn't listen. And Zeb helped him. Birds of a feather flock together. Two stubborn imbeciles. They both could be dead now. And if Tusknes didn't kill them, Kanan will replace Sand People personally. Suddenly two figures appeared on the horizon. One was limping and was carrying something, or someone on his hands. Kanan grabbed the binoculars and examined them better. He turned pale.

"Slow down!" he shouted to the pilots in cockpit "They've returned! It's them! They need a doctor! NOW!"

Rex and Wolfie lowered a rope ladder. Zeb slung Ezra over his shoulder and climbed up to the top. Rakhesh followed him.

"Zeb, Rakhesh!" Ahsoka ran up to them with a joyful gleam in her eyes and grease on her face, "I was so worried!"

She kissed Rakhesh on both cheeks, and later kissed on the lips Lasat. Garazeb blushed. Pau'an gave him a sly smile.

"What's happened with Ezra?" asked Sabine. She wore white shirt and tight pants. Rakhesh widened his eyes and mentally slapped himself in the face.

"We had a little duel with new Inquisitor" explained Garazeb and he winced. From under the cuts in his clothes on hip blood came out. "Maybe later?"

The three were placed in a small clinic. Rakhesh and Zeb were only bruised, but Ezra's wounds reached much deeper... Sabine tried to help him, to comfort her por, little 'brother'. Even Chopper was nice for him. Just Kanan...

"You could die," he said through clenched teeth. "Fuck, you didn't listen me!"

"Kanan!" Sabine gave him a warning. Upset Jedi ignored her.

"You stupid brat!" he shouted angrily and grabbed Ezra by the hair. The boy cried out in pain. Ghost's crew responded quickly. Zeb pushed Kanan away. Hera and Chopper barricaded his way. Sabine quickly hugged the boy and began to whisper words of consolation into his ear. Ezra looked at his Master with anguished eyes of betrayed one.

"Are you crazy?!" shouted Jarrus. His eyes flashed with anger "Or maybe Inquisitor has messed in your heads?! You trust him?!"

"No, we don't!" cried Sabine stroking the Ezra's back. "But now you're acting like a lunatic!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU LITTLE...?!" roared Jedi. His eyes turned yellow. Like Sith's.

"Kanan, it will be better, if you get out" said Hera "Please"

Kanan realized what he had done right now. His eyes were normal again. He flinched and ran out from the med bay. In the bathroom, he splashed his face with cold water. The Force, what the heck he has done?!

Ghost's crew (without Ahsoka, but with Rakhesh) flew back to their space home. Everything was wrong. Ezra's mom- Inquisitor. Kanan- mad as... who knows what. Pau'an Inquisitor aka Rakhesh Thanos- ally and friend (They thought so). Ezra was trembling in his sleep. Hot tears streaming down his cheeks. Rakhesh worried more and more. Kid's mind disintegrating at an alarming speed. That's all...

"Ezra, look at me," whispered Pau'an stroking his hair. Electric blue eyes opened slightly. Rakhesh tried to ignore the yellow rim around the iris "Everything will be fine, I swear"

"You aren't his Master" Kanan came to the door with an angry look and his arms folded across his chest.

"I know" said Rakhesh, trying to reassure Ezra, who at the sight of Jarrus began to tremble more. "But somebody must take carry about him"

"What the hell are you plotting?" Jarrus narrowed his eyes. He didn't trust him. No matter how much good Rakhesh had done, Kanan still remembered his hunting for Ezra, every trap, every duel mixed with mental abuse etc.

"Conspiracy" retorted venomously ex-Inquisitor "I'm just trying to help him. I don't want to he'll become insane Jedi. It's much worse than Dark Jedi, you can believe me"

"You knew who his mother had become?" Jedi continued interrogatory "You knew that she was alive?"

"No," Rakhesh was disarmingly honest. "I never took off the mask when I was near. It's true that Ezra's aura seemed familiar, but I didn't link it with the Inquisitor Mira. I don't know if anyone knew her true identity. Except Vader"

Meanwhile, hidden in the corridor Hera swallowed tears. She's never felt such shame. Maybe if she told the truth earlier, Ezra bear to it all better.

Mrs. Captain of Ghost called a family "council of war" in the cockpit. Assiduity. Sabine helped Ezra come into the room. They all sat in the seats, in addition to Rakhesh, who leaned against the wall.

"I want to talk with you all," said Hera and pointed to the Jedi, Padawan and ex-Inquisitor "Especially with your three. We recently had a crisis. We're still trying to extricate themselves from it. But let no one tries to do it alone. We are family, are You understand?"

"Yes, mom" muttered someone under his/her breath and everyone laughed. Even Ezra. Rakhesh smiled faintly.

"I mean also you, Baldy," said Hera. Pau'an looked at her in surprise. "Yes, you heard right. We realize what you've done before. But we aren't saints too. In addition, we owe you for saving Ezra in a cave on Therranusa"

"Rather, he saved me," muttered sheepishly Rakhesh "Thank you for confidence, Mrs. Captain"

"Please, I'm Hera" Twi'lek smiled.

"So. Family is complete again," Kanan cleared his throat. "I apologize for my past behavior"

"Don't worry," assured him Rakhesh "Everyone has a bad day sometimes"

Suddenly, everyone heard a strange noise and, just before the bow of the ship, in cosmic space (!) appeared the blue box, which opened up wide. From inside came out a young human with disheveled hair and aggressively protruding chin. He stared at the Rebels. The Rebels were staring at him open-mouthed.

"Erm, Rose!" shouted a stranger to someone in a box "We turned bad behind Saturn! Go back, go back!"

Blue box hummed and disappeared without a trace. The rebels were still in shock.

To be continued in next story...

I'm sorry for that ending, but I couldn't stop myself. If You don't like it, I'll cancel that.
