Starbound: A brother's journey

Truth comes to light

The ghost crew was helping Nick and Ezra with their training. They had taken a trip to the Jedi Temple on lothal to get their crystals. Ezra had gotten blue while Nick had a rare purple one. They had built their own sabers. They were different but it suited them. They were very distracted. Kayla sat on the ramp from the ghost watching the sence play out. After the twelfth time the two missed the target Kanan stopped everyone. But Kayla had other ideas. She grabbed a handful of dirt, walked up behind the group and threw it so it made a huge dust cloud. She took out her knife starting to get into a rhythm. The boys were on high alert. Kayla appeared behind them and put Ezra in a headlock. He threw her off and then lunged. Kicking up some more dust Kayla disappeared again. "Don't just rely on the force. Learn to find me without it." Kayla called. The boys were confused but they listened. Nick grabbed her arms holding her in place. "See? That wasn't so hard was it?" She questioned. Ezra was still confused. "What are you doing?" He asked "Helping you hone your Jedi powers Ezzy!" Kayla snapped. Where that came from she didn't know. But it grew on Ezra and stuck as a nickname. Kayla was about to run off but a scream from the two boys set her sprinting at top speed to the brothers. They were both on the ground and they were holding their heads. Almost like twins. "It's like they're twins or something." The 14 year old was in awe. "What's that got to do with anything?" Kayla started to cockily lecture the lassat. "Back home, twins could feel what the other was. They share thoughts, feelings, sometimes even a psychical connection." "I asked what it's got to do with this, I didn't ask for an explanation on boring science." The lassat scoffed.

"You're their children, aren't you? I don't believe what I'm seeing, Ezra, Nick and Kayla Briger, all in one place once again." The senator said pointing the blaster at the four. Kayla was yanked by her braids and Traviss put the weapon near her head. She had a scared look on her face. "Drop your saber boys now." The two obeyed, Kayla saw one thing and one thing only; red. "Mess with one of us you mess with all of us!" She stomped on her captors foot. His grip loosened enough for her to scramble back to her brothers. The man tried to pull the trigger on the blaster but nothing happened. Kayla drop- kicked him and then Hera punched him in the face. "A true rebel would know if they're holding a charged blaster." Kayla told him. He looked up just in time to see the three siblings glare at him and hop off the ledge behind the fans. Back at the Ghost, Kayla was sitting cross legged in the nose gun seat. Unfortunately the encounter also gave her a panic attack. She had tried to escape from the scene before they started. Her heat pounded in her ears, her breathing was shallow and shaky. She stiffened when she felt a hand on each of her shoulders. "Kayla this isn't easy for us either." Nick told her "What is wrong with us?" Ezra asked. "We have hope twins," she said "Hope that things will get better and they will." She shifted in her seat "I just had a panic attack, they started after the accident, anytime I see something that resembles the car wreck, it triggers it. The worst part is that they don't come from the wreck itself because it came from losing our adoptive parents. I hate 'em. I'm sorry." The twins looked at each other, then turned the chair around so Kayla was facing them. "You never have to be sorry about something you can't control. It's all good breath." Ezra instructed. Nick knew how to handle the situation. "Kayla can you tell me three things you hear?" "I hear the engine, your voices and my family." He was confused by this statement but quickly understood it. Then Kayla's favorite droid rolled in with a cherry hollow chirp sound. It made her feel safe, something that she had never truly felt since the accident. "Come on we got a message to deliver." Ezra said holding onto her hand.
Kayla POV
It's past time to speak the truth. "We have been called criminals but we are not we are rebels fighting for the people fighting for you!" Ezra started. Nick added on. We're not that old but we remember a time when things were better on lothal, okay maybe not great but never like this!" Kayla needed to unlock the injustice flame burning inside her. "Look what the empire did to your homes, your freedom, your family, your lives! Things are only going to get worse unless we stand up and fight! We can't back down just because we're afraid that's when we need to stand the tallest! That's what our parents taught us and that's what our new family helped us to remember. We need to stand up and fight because that's whern we're strongest;" she spoke, the twins placed their hands on her shoulders. "TOGETHER AS ONE!" The Bridgers chorused. The sibling trio was back in town.
