Star Wars Rebels Fan-fiction: Old friends?

Chapter 6

Kanan POV

My com gave a beep. "Everything went according to plan master." It said before the contact was broken again.

"That did not sound like Ezra." Said Sabine.

"Yes, but who else would call Kanan 'master'." Zeb spoke against it.

"Ezra almost never call me master." I told them. "The voice sounded more like Dai."

"Maybe they got captured?" Thought Sabine.

"I think we better take a look." I was really worried about Ezra and I feared that Dai had something to do with it.

"Specter 1 to Specter 2 we are going to look by the prison for Specter 6 and his friend. Pick us up there." I didn't really know how to describe Dai. He wasn't one of us and he wasn't an enemy. Right?

"And the crates?" Hera asked through the com.

"I'll stay here and bring them onboard." Replied Zeb her.

After that Sabine and I ran to the prison.

Ezra POV

I woke up lying on the floor. Immediately I noticed that I was locked in a cell. I knew I had to be quick because probably they would come along right away for questioning. Maybe they were Dai questioning right now.

Wait Dai! Did he betray me again? Was all this a trap? I could not believe it.

Therefore Dai had all the time been so nervous during the mission. He was afraid that I would discover that he had betrayed me again, but ...

Maybe there was a chance that Dai hadn't betrayed me. And if that was, I had to find him quickly.

And not forgetting Maia.

I leand against a wall of the cell and let me sank down. What was I thinking. Dai had betrayed me... again, I just knew it.

I put my head in my neck so I could watch the boring flat ceiling.

But rather to see that boring ceiling I saw something that was all too familiar to me.

A ventilation grille.

I could not believe that they had put me in a cell with a vent. They were getting dumber by the day. Maybe Dai hadn't betrayed me because he would certainly know this and so don't make this mistake.

Okay normally a normal person wouldn't been able to jump so high, but with the help of the Force, I would have to make it there certain.

I closed my eyes, concentrated on the force and jump. At my first jump, I only flipped open the lid. On my second I could easily climb up. After I had closed the valve, I went looking for Dai and Maia.

Kanan POV

Sabine and I were hiding behind some crates. Everything seemed safe and Sabine was already on, but I pulled her immediately back down.

"What?" She whispered to me.

I pointed to the Inquisitor who just has come walking around the corner. The prison door opened and a hooded person walked out so they couldn't see who it was.

The unknown person kneeled before the Inquisitor. An apprentice of him so. He also gave him something. I closed my eyes to slits to see it better.

A lightsaber?

Then I realized it was not an ordinary one. It was Ezra's!

The Inquisitor grimaced and his pointed teeth were visible. The apprentice stood up and they both walked in, probably on their way to Ezra and Dai. Or maybe the apprentice was Dai. I don't know.

"Kanan what do we do now?" Sabine asked.

Actually I did not know. If we went to rescue them, it was likely that I had to fight with both: the Inquisitor as his pupil and that was a fight he couldn't win.

"We'll need Zeb and Hera for this." I answered then. "We'll have to come back."

At Sabine face appeared disbelief. "Kanan we can't just leave them."

Sabine was right. Who knows what they would do to them, both force-sensitives, but the chance that it succeeded now was smaller than that Chopper would stop to be annoying.

I looked at Sabine. She looked at me with a look from where I couldn't win. I had to do something now to help them.

"Give me a minute." I said before I closed my eyes and went looking for Ezra with the force.

It didn't take long.

"The kid did it again." I laughed when I opened my eyes again.

"What do you mean?" Asked Sabine.

"He has escaped."

Ezra POV

"I feel that the boy is awake. Perhaps we shout paid him a visit." I heard a voice say as I crawled through the air ducts. The Inquisitor! O boy!

He was on his way to my cell, so I could better hurry up. When I was sure that he was away, I began to crawl faster. Finally there was a new opening. I quickly looked if it was safe and jumped out.

Immediately I saw something with witch I could look for Dai and Maia. That's just lucky.

I search in the list of prisoners for Maia and Dai. Maia was in cell A-34.

That was down the hall and to the right, third cell. Easy.

But I couldn't find Dai anywhere. Had he betrayed me? Or maybe he was dead? Maybe he just wasn't into these cells but already at a star destroyer, maybe that was why I was in such a simple cell. Especially when you consider that the Inquisitor was here somewhere.

My train of thought was broken by footsteps.

Let just liberate Maia and Dai had to come later.

When I came at the cell of Maia, the alarm went off. So they have discovered that I had escaped.

I hesitated a bit before opening the cell. Let this be the right one.

The door opened and I went inside.

And yes there on the couch lays a girl of about my age. She looked up when I entered. Her brown curly hair fell over her shoulders and enveloped her face that had a somewhat darker complexion just like her brother. Her sea-green eyes become even bigger than they always are when she saw me.

"Ezra watch out!" She cried just before I was beaten down again.

Her eyes hadn't become big because of seeing him, but probably at the sight of the Inquisitor, I gambled.

Myeyes closed, and the last thing I saw before I fell unconscious, was Maia whosat on her knees next to me. The expression on her face I couldn't see anymorebecause everything again went black.
