The Found Lost Padawan

Chapter 33 "Not Much"

3rd Perspective
"It's true, I don't have to say anything at all," Ezra agreed.

Commander Sato wanted at least a bit of information, like how they are able to get ahead of the on missions, how they get the information, how they know when the Rebel Fleet leave for a mission. Those types of things.

He calmed down and began to speak softly, "I'll like to apologize Ezra." Ezra lifted his head in surprise. "I should let it go, that was in the past. Now, it's the present."

"I accept your apology, anywho, there isn't much I can say."

"Why not?" Ahsoka asked.

'Should I tell them about the massive weapon the Empire is building? No, let's start with the mining, they know half of it.'

"I'll start simple," Ezra ignored her question. They nodded. "You all know about the mining right."

They nodded once again.

"Well, they are doing it on many planets, not just Lothal."

"I knew that they were doing it on another planet, but multiple?" Commander Sato questioned.

"Yes, they are doing it on several planets."

"Do you know what the Empire is mining for?" Ahsoka hoped.

'Just tell them about the metal then the kyber crystals,' Ezra thought.

"Well, firstly, the Empire wants lots and lots of metal, even go as far melting droids for it and-"

"Wait, the Empire can't be that desperate to start melting droids, right?" Kanan asked.

"They are, now, let me finish. They want the metal be-because they are building something, something really big I suppose you can say," Ezra fumbled with his fingers, hardly looking up.

They started to tense up. Hera thought for a second, everyone did. Did they have an idea of what this 'thing' is? Sabine snapped her fingers.

"Ah, I know what it could be " With so little information, she was able to think about something just like that! "Remember those prototypes outside of Geonosis?"

"Yeah," Kanan replied.

"That must be what they are building. They must have been pleased with how the prototype ended up so, they began to build the real one."

"I can only imagine how big it really is," Zeb thought out loud.

"Yeah, and how powerful it is. Just think about it. If the prototypes were being built in outerspace, that thing can be way more powerful than what the Rebel Fleet can handle," Ahsoka commented.

"Hold on, we don't even know if it is suppose to be powerful," Kanan doubted her.

"Trust me Kanan," Ezra mumbled. "It is powerful. So strong that it can make a devastating effect on this galaxy. Even though it is still under construction, it is still very destructive."

"Okay, so we know it's big, that it is under construction, and that it is very powerful," Hera reminded them. "But, if it can cause such a devastating effect, then what is the weapons power source?"

'Why did she have to ask that?!' Ezra panicked a bit.

"Kyber crystals."

"What?" Commander Sato misunderstood him.

"I'm not completely sure, but it is said that the source are kyber crystals," Ezra spoke clearly.

"Well, this can't be good," Zeb said. They shook their heads.

"Yet, look at the bright side," Ezra tryes to cheer them up. He regretted telling them this information. He doesn't want them to try and find the kyber crystals their top priority. The Rebel Fleet has more things to worry about. "The Empire is having trouble finding them so, it might take them a while to finsh it. Also, the thing they are building is either a base or a weapon and we don't know the real size of it."

It didn't help much, but is lighten up the mood. They started to talk a bit, but to Ezra it was instinctive chatter. He ignores what they were saying and zoned out, he was trying to calm down. He had goose bumps up and down his body, Ezra didn't know why though. It felt good to finally share the information with the Rebel Fleet. Yet, he knew he was lying about the size and kyber crystals. Ezra knew that the Empire are using crystals and that the thing they are building is massive, I guess Ezra doesn't want them to worry to much.

'At least the Rebel Fleet will be searching for more information that I don't know about.' Ezra thought.

"May I ask you a question Ezra?" Commander Sato asked.

"Sure."

"How are guys able to steal the information about shipments without the Empire noticing?"

"Well, we just do like Chopper did before, copy the information or sometimes just steal the info for sure."

"Who goes undercover to retrieve the information?" Sabine wondered.

"Well, Lexi is the one that goes undercover all the time as a stormtrooper, admiral, and prisoner. Usually to get her droids back or to leave droids undercover."

"So, to exchange her droids?"

"Yes."

"So Lexi is the one that goes undercover?" Zeb asked.

"Oh no, everyone goes undercover every once in a while. Lexi is the technologist," Ezra corrected Zeb.

"What about Liz?" Kanan questioned. Ezra had to think about it for a moment. Liz never actually mentioned what her best skill was.

"I'll have to go with Force healing, no tracking or, ugh. I don't know, she never told me," Ezra stressed.

"I think it's Force healing. I mean, that arm and leg of her's healed pretty quickly if you ask me," Kanan guessed.

"Agreed. Her leg should have taken a few days, maybe even a few weeks to heal at least." Hera said.

"She learned it quickly, too. Considering that she started to train in the Force about two years ago, she learned fast. In addition, her favorite technic to use in the Force is Force healing," Ezra added.

"Well ten, she must be strong in the Force to be able to learn that technic that fast," Ahsoka commented. Ezra nodded. "Besides, Liz has a pretty strong Jedi teaching her in the ways of the Force."

Ezra took it as a complement, but he is no Jedi. He doesn't think of himself as much of a Jedi anymore. Sometimes he wishes he did, to be able to train Liz the ways of the Force in peace is what he dreams of. But Ezra doesn't feel comfortable with using just one side of the Force at all.

"I don't think you can call Ezra much of a Jedi," Kanan said.

"Why not?" Ahsoka asked.

Kanan grabbed Ezra's lightsaber and turned it on, but he accidentally grabbed his purple lightsaber instead. Ezra rolled his eyes and handed him his other lightsaber. Kanan turned on the white saber.

Ahsoka stood there in silence. She hasn't seen a purple lightsaber ever since Mace Windu died, she can see why Ezra has a purple lightsaber, it makes sense since he has a more aggressive fighting style and he uses both, the Light and the Dark Side of the Force. But a white lightsaber? She doesn't see it.

'I guess it matches him. He wasn't fully trained in the Light Side or the Dark Side. He must not be against any side of the Force, he just wants to keep the balance between both. I can sense that he wants knowledge because he knows he gains power out of it. He knows without evil, there is no good. To him, there is only the Force. He is a guardian of balance. He is a Gray Jedi.'

~You know what Ezra was talking about. *wink* *wink*
P.s. I got the info about the Gray Jedi thing from idk, but yeah.
