Star Wars Rebels: Skywalker

Part 4

<Kanan's pov>
I woke up and looked around. I thought everything that happened yesterday was a nightmare but apparently it wasn't. I was in a cell and didn't know how I got here. Then the doors opened and everything felt cold. Mirage walked in, only it wasn't all her. Her clothes were all black but she had red streaks on her sleeves. Her hair was also a dark shade of red and her eyes were yellow. She was smiling evilly when she walked in. I felt so cold I nearly shivered. "Hello father. How do you like the new me?" she said. I didn't even know who I was looking at anymore. It was a completely different person. She didn't even sound the same. Her voice was dark and cold but it also sounded hurt. Her skin was pale as the moons of Lothal. And she looked like she hadn't slept in a long time. She had dark shadows under her eyes. Or it had something to do that it also looked like she hadn't eaten either. She felt so cold it didn't even seem like she was human. She felt as cold as Hoth. I couldn't take it anymore. "Mirage, this isn't you. You look in pain and you don't look normal. It hurts me to look at you like this," I said. She looked even more hurt. "Oh you'll hurt even more when you see Ezra," she said coldly. She moved aside and I couldn't take anymore of this. It was Ezra. His eyes were yellow and his hair was a dark blue. His clothes were black and his lightsaber looked different. He was smiling coldly. "How do you like me now, my old master?" he said. I stared at both of them. They were both smiling coldly and evilly at me. I shuddered. Then I started sobbing. Ezra laughed and Mirage just kept smiling. Then Ezra did something I never thought he would do. He held out his hand and I started feeling pain beyond what I have ever felt. Mirage began to do the same thing after I began to scream. The pain went through me faster than a hyperspace jump. And kept coming back. Over and over again, I kept screaming, begging it to stop. Then, it finally began to slowly go away. Ezra walked out and Mirage began to walk out when she stopped at the doorway. The doors closed and she turned around to face me. She ran over to me and gave me a hug I almost lost my breath. Then she let go and moved away. Tears began to stream down her face. She closed her eyes for awhile and the doors opened. She looked at me one last time and turned to the door and walked out.
<Mirages pov>
It hurt to see Kanan look at me like that. I didn't like it. Zane must have felt my pain because I could feel his arms wrapping around me. He gently kissed my neck. I chuckled darkly. He stopped and moved his arms up a little. I shivered at his touch. I could sense he was smiling. I looked at him and he quickly kissed me. I didn't have time to react. He pulled away and smiled at me. I smiled back. "Let's go check on Ezra. I want to him to feel the pain I felt," he said darkly. I nodded and we left the room.
<Ezra's pov>
I opened my eyes. My head was hurting like mad. I looked around and groaned. I was in a cell again. I then remembered what happened. The boy who looked like me. He said 'brother' when he saw me. I couldn't remember if I had a brother or not but him being here makes it seem like I did. It seemed impossible but my parents never did tell me everything anyway. I heard the door open and held my breath. The same people came in. Mirage and Zane always came in and mocked me. I hadn't had a good look at Mirage when she knocked me out. But now that I see her, I regret even trying to get a glimpse of her. She looked tired and cold. But her clothes I could not take my eyes off of. They were black, like Zane's, but had red streaks. She still had her blasters but her lightsaber design was different. She chuckled darkly. I stopped staring and started growling. Zane walked towards me and punched me in the face. It hurt, a lot. I hadn't expected it to hurt that much but it did. Once I got a good look at Zane, he looked like he had laser burns on his sides. I looked at Mirage and she had the same. I shuddered. Some troopers came in and grabbed me. They carried me off somewhere. Mirage and Zane were following closely. I struggled and yelled at them but they just kept walking like I hadn't said a thing. They stopped in front of a door and opened it. I stopped struggling when I saw inside. It looked more like a torture chamber then a room. Zane laughed darkly. Mirage stayed quiet. She turned to Zane and started whispering stuff to him. He shook his head and she turned to face me. She looked even more hurt than she did before she came in this room. She mouthed 'I'm sorry' to me. The troopers threw me onto this metal bed thing and cuffed me to it. It was facing them. I couldn't take what was about to come. Seeing Mirage hurt like this was pain enough. Zane turned on something and I felt pain beyond belief. I screamed and Mirage just looked at me. She looked more hurt than I have ever seen her. I bit my lip and that stopped my screaming. She looked up at me in surprise. Zane looked at me and the pain started going away slowly. He walked in front of me. Then he punched me again. "Stop. She's mine and she loves me so back off. Your not taking away any more from me," he whispered to me. Mirage looked at me with fear but she also looked like she wanted this to stop. I smirked. "Nah, you stole her from me. You took my crew. Your master took my parents. The only thing I've taken from you is her friendship. She will care about the crew and me until she dies. And even then she won't stop fighting. I know her better than you do...Zane," I said. He looked stunned. Mirage was looking down but I knew she was smiling slightly. I smiled. Mirage looked up at me but she still looked hurt. I was confused at her expression. Then she smiled slightly. I sighed. Zane was looking at me when I sighed. He took out his lightsaber, ignited it, and stabbed it into my shoulder. Mirage gasped and Zane was smiling evilly. I yelped and bit my lip. He took it out and put it against my side. I screamed in pain and Mirage looked like she was about to cry. He removed it and put it on the other side. This time, Mirage let out a whimper. I started screaming. He removed it and grazed it against my left arm. He looked to a trooper and nodded. They all took out small knifes. Mirage whimpered. Zane was still smiling evilly. And like an idiot. They all approached me and began to slash them against my skin. I screamed when one of them cut deeply into my stomach. Mirage whimpered. Then her eyes widened and she ducked for no reason. But I found out why she ducked pretty quickly. The door blasted opened and all the troopers, including Zane, got blasted away. I felt tired and I closed my eyes. I felt Kanan's presence. It seemed like he got out. Along with the others. I sighed when I felt someone hand. "Ezra, I'm sorry." It sounded like Mirage. Then after that, I fell into darkness.
<Kanan's pov>
I paced around the cell. Then I got an idea. I looked up and, sure enough, there was an air vent. Hera saw me looking up and looked up as well. She quickly scrambled to my side. I opened the air shaft with the force and told Hera to climb up. She nodded. She quickly climbed up and crawled away from the way in. I quickly climbed up as well. I could not get how Ezra was able to climb around quickly in here. I followed Hera until I felt Sabine's presence. I looked down and I saw her. But it didn't look like her. She was crawled up into a ball and was sobbing like mad. She also had several cuts on her. I knocked on the vent and it opened. She looked up and looked relieved when she saw me. I told her to climb up and follow me. She nodded so I moved away from over the vent. I looked down at a vent and told both of them to climb down here. They both nodded. I jumped down. Hera followed after me then Sabine came down. I felt around for Zeb's presence. It was pretty close by. I opened the door close to us and got lucky. Zeb was in there but out of all of us, he was chained to the wall. I reached for my lightsaber and was surprised that it was there. I cut the chains and he looked up. I told him to follow us and he nodded. We stayed hidden but I was surprised that no bucket-heads were around. I closed my eyes and looked for Ezra's presence. I opened my eyes and looked around. Ezra was pretty close by. I tried to open the door to the room he was in but it was locked. I sighed. Sabine stepped up and placed a detonator on the door. We all backed away. I felt Mirage's presence near the door. I closed my eyes and looked for her. I found her quickly. I quickly did what I was going to do.
"Duck, just duck. No questions,"
I cut the connection and the door blasted open right after I did. They all ran in and looked around. I walked in and looked straight ahead. Mirage quickly ran to Ezra's side and whispered something that I couldn't hear. He sighed and his eyes started closing. I could tell that Mirage was sobbing quietly beside him. I quickly examined him and I regretted doing so. He was covered in cuts and burn marks. He had cuts on his face and it looked like he lost a lot of blood. He was still losing some by the looks of it. I looked to the side and a bunch of troopers, plus a boy that looked a lot like the one that said he was Ezra, were in a corner, lying around. I sighed and threw Ezra over my shoulder. Mirage hadn't moved at all since she saw me. She had her eyes close tightly and was sobbing. "Come on Mirage, let's go back," I said to her. She looked up and nodded. I walked in front of her. The others left before we could. But when I got to the door, I heard someone scream. I looked behind me and when I did, Ezra flew off my shoulder and fell to the ground. Mirage was lying beside him. She was still sobbing but she looked like she was trying not to suffocate. I looked up and the boy was holding out his hand. He was choking Mirage. I didn't even know what happened next because I fell into a cold and dark part that I never wanted to be in again.
<Mirage's pov>
I ran to Ezra's side and grabbed his hand. I bowed my head down next to him. "I'm sorry Ezra," I whispered to him so that none of the others heard me. He sighed and made what looked sort of like a smile. I didn't want him to get hurt. I closed my eyes when I felt Kanan walking towards me. I started sobbing and I didn't want to look up. But I felt Ezra's hand fall out of mine so I knew that Kanan had grabbed him. I didn't want to check so I kept sobbing. But I heard Kanan. "Come one Mirage, let's go back," he said to me. I looked up and saw that he had Ezra over his shoulder. I nodded. He walked to the door and I followed him. Then I felt someone pull me away and cut me right across my stomach and chest. I screamed and fell to the ground. Then I felt like I was being choked. I started sobbing again. I was also trying to breath. I could fell Kanan staring at me and Ezra lying in the ground. I wanted him to do something because I started feeling cold. But I looked up and saw that Kanan was pointing his lightsaber right and Zane's neck. Zane moved his hand away from me and I could finally breath. But every time I did, it felt as cold as Hoth. I lied down beside Ezra and I reached for his hand. And when I did, everything felt, if it was possible, even colder. I looked up and when I did, Kanan stabbed Zane right in the stomach. Zane let out a dry laugh, then collapsed onto the ground. Kanan looked at me and and I didn't want him to. His eyes were yellow a little bit. He told us to run to the Ghost and not to say anything about what happened. He picked Ezra up and threw him over his shoulder. I ran out of the room and went to where the Ghost would be. I was relieved that it was there but when I was a bout to run towards it, Kanan collapsed. Ezra's eyes jolted open, I'm guessing from the pain. "Get...him...off...me..." he said while trying to get Kanan off him. I didn't know what to do. Then I heard someone tell me to go into the Ghost. I quickly did so, not knowing or caring about who it was. I ran inside and looked at myself. I then ran to Kanan's room, sat down, and started sobbing. I heard the door open and looked up. It was Hera. I looked back down and continued sobbing. She tried to sit next to me and hug me but when she touched me, she immediately pulled away. I'm guessing I felt cold, on the inside and outside. I quickly got up, ran to the Phantom, shut the door and sat down. I started sobbing again. I didn't want to see or talk to anyone. It felt the Galaxy had just opened my eyes after I saw Ezra being tortured. I sobbed even harder after I thought of that. When I was done sobbing, I was still shaking uncontrollably. Probably because I felt cold and didn't know how to get warmer. So I just curled in a ball close to the door and closed my eyes. I felt like I was slipping into darkness that I knew I might not wake up from for awhile. But I just let the feeling overcome me and when I did, the only thing that wasn't attached to the Phantom burst. I quickly shot up and started shaking again. So I gave up on trying to sleep and just sat down and closed my eyes. After awhile, I fell asleep and didn't want to be bothered.
3 weeks later...
<Kanan's pov>
My eyes opened and I looked around. I was back in my room but something didn't feel right. Mirage hadn't come out of the Phantom in a long time. Ever since the crew said that I almost killed them all, I had to calm myself down and try to get Mirage out. But every time I tried to get even close to the door, I started feeling cold. Mirage still hadn't calmed down to come out and talk to us. She wouldn't even come out to see Ezra. She stayed in the Phantom for a long time that I almost forgot how she looked like. She cane out yesterday but when she did, almost everything in the Ghost broke. Hera was still trying to fix Chopper. I just sat on my bed and closed my eyes. After awhile, I felt Ezra's presence. But he wasn't walking into my room. He was walking into the Phantom.
