(Dark Ezra pov)

When I wake up, I am being healed in a med lab. Bandages cover my wounds from earlier and I can feel bacta on my skin. I groan.
"Ezra?" A voice asks. "Are you awake?"
I open my eyes to see the Inquisitor beside me. "Yes."
"Good. We have on last test for you."
"I'm ready," I tell my Master.
"It will be your most challenging yet."
"I'm ready. When do we start?"

Sorry if this isn't my best work. I am not very good at writing Ezra as an evil Sith apprentice. If you guys have any suggestions I will try to use them to make my story better. Thanks so far for all the great comments and likes! I am going to write another story after this one, so sit tight for that one. Thanks guys!

*************************************

The Inquisitor leads me towards another cell and stops at a door. I can sense a powerful Force presence inside, but the presence is weak. Almost as though the person inside is in pain. I feel like I know the person inside. The Force-signature is the exact same as....

The door slides open and I gasp.
"Kanan?"
My old Master sits in deep meditation. He snaps awake when he hears my voice.
"Ezra?"
I turn to face the Inquisitor. "You told me that he was dead."
He shrugs. "I lied."
Anger fills me and flows like a raging river. "And the point of that was?"
Kanan stands. "What did you do to him?" He struggles to keep calm as he addresses the Inquisitor.
"He is turned."
Kanan's eyes glint with anger. "How?"
I sense Lord Vader behind me.
"I can answer that," he says. "Go ahead, Ezra. Tell him."
"Anger is more powerful than serenity and all the Jedi teachings," I say. "There is no power in no passion."
Kanan looks terrified. "Ezra, this isn't you. This is the Empire and the Sith talking! Let go of your hate."
Not sure who to believe, I turn to look at Lord Vader. "Don't listen to him," he says. "The dark side is more powerful than the light."
"Ezra! Come back to the light side!" Kanan pleads.
"He will never. He can't hear you," Vader says.
"Ezra, listen to me. Remember the crew, and your training, and your parents. Would they want this for you? Would you parents want this for you?" Kanan's words snap me out of it. My eyes turn blue again, and I tumble to the ground, weak.
Kanan spots his lightsaber on the Inquisitor's belt and uses the Force to pull it to him. He ignites the blue blade and steps in front of me, protecting me from harm.
The door slides open again and a bomb rolls in. It sets off grey smoke and I hear Sabine call out. "Guys! Let's go!"
Kanan picks me up and gently slings me over his shoulder. He races out of the cell and uses his lightsaber to jam the door, trapping the Sith inside. Then Sabine and Zeb come running around the corner. "Kanan!" Sabine calls. She stops when she sees me. "Ezra?"
"Yeah, I'm here," I say weakly.
"Kid? What'd the Imperial bucketbrains do to you?" Zeb asks, punching his fists together. "If Kallus touched you, I'll-"
"Not now, Zeb. Let's get the kid out of here." Kanan blasts a trooper around the corner with his blaster, and slides his lightsaber onto his belt. Then we race around the corner, me still slung over Kanan's shoulder.
