Star Wars Rebels :Time is Ticking

There Will Always be Hope

"NO! Please, Sabine..." Her body limp and her hand losses from his hand. They all look hopeless... Zeb loses his best friend. She's just like his sister, companion, a friend in need. Sabine is always like a daughter to Hera. She always wants to help Sabine letting go her nightmares. They shared a mother and daughter bond. Even though Kanan never talks and make a bond with Sabine like the others, he knows that he can rely Sabine for the jobs. He misses her paint bombs and when the destroyer exploded, Kanan thinks it's much better if Sabine did it. Chopper doesn't have feelings, cause he's a droid. But Chopper knows how it feels to lose someone. When Kanan was captured, Chopper misses him. Now, Chopper loses his Mando friend for real. He will miss her paint jobs, the way she never disagreed, and mess with him. Ezra...

He loses a part of his life. He never feels so empty before. Sabine is his best friend, a friend that can play with him, help him, encourage him in some ways. But now, she's gone. Ezra never wants to believe it. And yet, he never gives up trying...

"NO! COME ON! YOU CAN DO THIS!" Ezra shakes her weak body. Hoping her just to open her eyes. Suddenly, a hand holds his shoulder.

"Ezra..." He stops and looks back to his master.

"She's gone..." Kanan holds his shoulder, holding the tears. Ezra hugs his master, he cries on his chest. Kanan lets him. after what he'd been through, he needs to let it all out. after a minute, Ezra lets him go.

"I'm sorry for your lost. We've already do what we can." The doctor said. He leaves the med bay.

"Come on, Ashoka needs us on the bridge," Kanan and Hera are already at the door. Chopper is still at his side, looking at Sabine's lifeless body.

"You guys, just go first. I want to stay here." Ezra said. Kanan wants to say something, but Hera interrupted

"Kanan, just give Ezra some time..." with tears in her eyes, Hera, Kanan, and Zeb go to the bridge. Chopper still at Ezra's side, Chopper beeps, he just misses his mando.

"Hey, I know chop. I'll miss her as much as you do." Chopper grumbles and bump the heart monitor.

...

...

"Wait a second..."

The monitor shows a heart beat. Chopper hit it again and the monitor shows a flat line.

"Chopper hit it again" Chopper only beeps in confusion.

"Just hit it" Chopper hit it but it's still a flat line...

"Maybe I'm just hallucinating" Ezra sigh. He takes Sabine's helmet looking at the visor. He misses the last time she repaints it. Now it has burn marks all over it. He looks inside and sees a box.

"I wonder what's inside it..." Ezra wipes his tears and takes the box. There's a symbol on top of it. Not just an ordinary symbol, It's the symbol of Hope. The Star bird. They will never die, whenever it seems to be gone, it's actually renewing itself in the heart of a nova. the Symbol is divided into pieces. It's like a puzzle. The right wing is purple, and the left one is violet pink. The head is green, the neck is orange, and the center is light green. But the bottom piece is missing. It's the base, the thing that sustains the symbol. He remembered Sabine gave a blue piece to him yesterday. He takes it out from his pocket at puts it. It's perfect.

Suddenly, a hologram picture pops up in front of them. Chopper comes to Ezra's side and looks towards the photo.

It's a picture of them. The ghost crew, fighting the stormtroopers side by side. Even Chopper helps zapping them. They all look happy. Sabine isn't using her helmet. Kanan and Hera look into each others eyes, Zeb grins while pushing back the bucket heads with Chopper on top of him. And there are Sabine and Ezra, laughing while Sabine shoots the and Ezra deflecting it with his lightsaber. On top of them is the symbol of the Starbird. Ezra smiles while tears running down from his eyes. He sighs and close the holo picture. He stares at Sabine. He wishes that he can fight along her side again. Ezra then lets go of the memories and meditates. Chopper just stares at Sabine.
