Trials of Loyalty

Chapter 13

Ezra's POV

I watched as the Seventh Sister ran out of the cockpit. After a few heartbeats, I ran to the common room where Chopper sat, powered down. I knelt down next to the astromech and started him up again.

"Beep!"

"Woah, Chop! It is just me!" I said to the startled droid.

"Beep."

"No, I was not with the Empire! I was framed!"

"Beep."

"I just got proof to the crew. But I don't know if they will believe me."

"Beep."

"Thanks for that sarcastic encouragement."

"Beep."

"Will you just listen to me? I don't know if the rest of the crew will believe me, and I am sure they don't want to see me on this ship, so here's the plan."

I ran out of the ship just as some of the Imperial ships landed outside the bar. I hid in an alley by the bar, listening.

"We have to go find Ezra," I heard Kanan said.

"Yeah, but first we have to deal with those Imperials!" Zeb exclaimed.

"Hurry to the Ghost!" Kanan said.

"Kanan! Inquisitor!" Sabine said.

"But why only one? Hurry to the ship! I will deal with this!" I heard Kanan ignite his lightsaber. I peeked around the corner of the alley to see who he was running towards.

The Seventh Sister.

The Seventh Sister's POV

I watched as the Jedi Kanan Jarrus ran towards me, my double-bladed lightsaber in hand. I got into a defense position as he came closer.

I easily defended his strikes. But I had to get out of there quickly. I still don't know if the Empire believed the transmission.

I knew the Fifth Brother was on the ship. I could sense it. I doubted he would be happy to see me back.

Sss

Ssss

Sssss

Kanan's and my lightsabers slashed back and forth. I decided to get this over quickly. I jumped back a few feet and quickly pushed forward with the Force, pushing Kanan back a long way.

I sheathed my saber and started walking away into a nearby alley, but apparently the crew had a different idea. As soon as I turned around, that blasted ship, the Ghost, starting firing at me.

My red saber quickly deflected each shot. I attempted to back away as I blocked the shots, but the crew shot everywhere around me, forcing me to stay put.

"Blasted rebels!" I shouted.

"Sounds like you are having trouble."

I looked to my side to see the owner of that voice.

The Fifth Brother.

"Fifth Brother, you know I am innocent! I gave you proof!" I yelled at him.

"But that's the thing, Seventh Sister. With that evidence, my whole plan is ruined. You are only a child, not fit for Grand Inquisitor. I will have to kill you."

The Fifth Brother pulled out his lightsaber, starting the rotation, and threw the sinister blade.
