A/N: Above is kind of how sage looks like.

"Where've you been?" Hera asked.

"Imperial Complex." I opened the laptop. "I disabled any tracking devices on it, and a few things that may help you get a few credits. Also, some prisoner intell..." I said, looking up at Hera.

"So you're going to follow that vision?" Hera asked.

"You can't stop the future." I said. "Nobody part of the crew dies, I assure you. I'm sure they're alive, they were at the end of my vision, anyway." I lied a tad.

"Good. So, what do you have?" Hera asked.

"Lothal Confidential Prison...?" I said, confused? "Ever heard of it? I briefly looked at the info, but it doesn't list any coords. Maybe I can read it over again." I offered.

"No, it'll be fine. I know where this prison is, we once went and broke out some prisoners." Hera said. "At that time, we didn't know Ezra. And the prison is pretty large, so we didn't get to explore the whole thing. We didn't see Ezra's parents, but who knows."

"Doesn't sound Confidential to me." I mumbled. "So, where's Ezra and Kanan?" I asked.

"They went to the Jedi Temple to train." Hera responded.

"Well, I'mma take a nap." I said. "Wake me whenever."

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

"Sage!"

I jolted awake, my head hitting the bunk above. I rubbed my forehead in annoyance and turned to look at the door. Ezra stood there, biting his bottom lip.

"Sorry." he apologized.

"Just... go." I said, waving at him, signaling him to leave. "I'll be out in a sec."

He nodded yes and closed the door. Grunting, I rolled off the bunk and pulled myself off. Feeling my forehead for bumps, surprisingly, there was none.

I opened the door to see everyone crowded around a hologram that looked like the L.C.P. (Lothal Confidential Prison) and red dots pin-pointing where it seemed Ezra's parents were held captive. I could feel my chest burn. Exactly where the light saber would burn.

Why am I walking into my death?

"What's up?" I asked, although I already knew.

"We're generating a plan." said Hera, "Wanna talk?" I knew she was talking about my vision. Geez, I already told you, Hera.

"Nope." I said, popping the P. "So, what did you plan?"

"We'll break through here, since it's the closest port to where Ezra's parent's are. You, Kanan, and Ezra go get them, while Zeb watches the lift and Chopper and I go to shut down power systems, which is over here. We meet back up over here, and then we go and take this exit, where Hera will wait." Sabine explained.

I nodded.

"Okay, we're here." Hera announced. "Ready?"

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Kanan and Ezra jumped, getting rid of the storm troopers. Soon after, me, Sabine, and Zeb jumped, with Chopper flying behind. We stormed through the prison (quietly) and Sabine and Chopper parted from us. We ran to the lift, and Zeb waited as Kanan, Ezra, and I got on.

"Thanks, Sage."

I looked blankly at the wall. There was a trap waiting, but what was it? I was going to die, but how...? Why am I walking head first into it?

The lift's doors opened, with two storm troopers waiting. Kanan quickly shot both of them with his blaster (oh yeah, my blaster still isn't fixed...) and we quickly ran down the hall. My heart started to strangle itself even more... it was getting harder to breath as fear fell clump by clump onto my back, dragging me down...

"Sage, are you okay?" someone asked.

"Yeah, what makes you ask?" I asked.

"You look worried."

I shrugged.

We stopped at a corner, peeking over and at the prison cell.

"This is Mira's cell." I said "Not even guarded." I said, looking around. Nothing was visible.

"Why is nobody guarding it?" asked Ezra.

I looked over my body to throw over. I took my broken blaster and slid it carefully over to the door, and halted by touching the door gently. I lost tension and walked over.

"Specter 1 to Specter 5, are you finished?" Kanan said.

"Yeah, go now!" Sabine replied.

Ezra opened the door with ease. Mira Bridger was there, and when she looked up, the look on her face was unbelievable. She was happy -- very happy, and she got up and ran to hug Ezra. Kanan and I stood there, watching the reunion. I was glad that I got to see this before I died... glad to see I've helped before I died.

"Sage, thank you." Ezra said, looking up at me.

"Yeah, yeah." I said, looking away. "We still have your dad to get, let's go!"

"Spector 5 to Specter 1 and 4, the Inquisitor's here with backup! Better hurry up, I can't keep the security down for long!" Sabine suddenly said through the com.

We looked at each other briefly and ran.

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

"Here!" I said, skidding to a stop in front of a cell. Ezra quickly opened the door up. Ephraim had the same reaction as Mira, but we had to run, and there was no time for a reunion. We quickly went down the lift, and met up with Zeb. Running to the exit, we met up with a tired Sabine and a cranky Chopper.

A red light illuminated down the hallway. "Let's go!" I said, signaling them to go.

Ephraim and Mira were out of breath (I could literally hear them dying) and their age wasn't helping. We were almost onto the Ghost when Mira got shot in the shoulders, twice.

The ship closed as Ezra and Ephraim huddled around Mira. I felt something inside my heart sob, and my nose and eyes begin to burn, but I was sure I wasn't crying, yet.

"Mom... mom, please, I just got you back, I can't lose you now..." Ezra begged.

Hera found us, when she looked at me with disgust. I suddenly realized that she thought that I knew Mira was going to die.

"Hera, I di--" I started.

"No! Why did you do this? You knew this was going to happen!" Hera said angrily.

Ezra looked at me.

"You knew this was going to happen?" Ezra said, looking at me.

"No! No, I didn't! I swear, I swear I didn't!" I said, my eyes widening, my head shaking no.

"Then why did Hera say you did? You said someone was going to die, you had a vision! Hera told me about it!" Ezra said angrily.

My heart sunk to my gut. He was only worrying about me because he knew I was going to help him?

Suddenly, I became angry. Why don't you believe me? I helped you! I tried to! Why don't you just shut up?! Emotions mixed in my head. But I just looked down. And I felt tears stream down my face as I rushed to my room.

I sat there, crying. I sat there.

C'mon, get up Sage. Get up. I thought to myself.

I dried my tears and left my room. I slowly dragged my feet to the living area, where I saw a red light.

The Inquisitor.
