Standing Alone

Chapter 1

Kanan's POV:

The crew and I were on a supply run on Lothal. We were talking with Old Jho.

"What do you mean with you don't have the supplies?" Hera yelled at the man.

"The Empire came and took everything... I'm sorry."

"It's okay Jho. We have to go. See ya." I said.

Hera and I walked out to meet the other three of our crew: Sabine, Zeb and Chopper.

"Where are the crates?" Sabine asked.

"Empire. We don't have them." Hera said angry, but I felt through the force that she was sad.

"What do we do now? We didn't eat for 2 days!?" Zeb yelled looking at the ground.

"That's not everything, Zeb. I promised Commander Sato to give some of the crates to him. They need it too." Hera explained

"They have food enough. I'm starving." He answered.

"We will find something. And if we don't, we steal. Understood?"

"Yes." They answered me in unison.

"Then go."

We split up in the hope someone found some food. But without success... around 9 o'clock we came back to the meeting place to see that nobody found something. We headed back to the Ghost, till Zeb bumped into a kid.

"Karabast! Look where you're going!"

The kid got up so I could see his face.

"Sorry, Sir."

He took his bag and wanted to run away, but Zeb grabbed his collar.

"Oh no. What do you have there?"

"Zeb! It's just a kid!" Sabine yelled at the Lasat.

"I don't care! Is that food?"

"No." the kid answered.

"I don't believe you. Look little one, I didn't eat for 2 days and I'm hungry. So if you're smart and give that to me, I won't hurt you."

"Zeb!" I yelled, but he ignored me.

"I didn't eat for 8 days. So I guess I win." The kid spat in Zeb's face.

The boy kicked Zeb and started running. And of course, Zeb chased him.

"There we go again..." I said rolling my eyes.

Hera, Sabine, Chopper and I chased after the two until the two in front of us stopped. We were surrounded by Stormtroopers...

"Stop Rebels!"

"Thank you! Those guys wanted to steal from me!" The kid yelled.

"You too Lothrat! Don't you think that I forgot you!"

"I could try." The boy said rolling his eyes. "Then let's give you another reason to hate me, okay?"

The crew and I looked confused at each other till we saw what the rat meant. He grabbed the bow and arrows that were stuck on his back and shot all the troopers one by one. I couldn't believe it! He had the skills our crew could use! When they were all down, he ran away.

"Wait! Kid!"

I didn't expect that he would stop but he did.

"What? I had to work for the food, I'm not going to give it away." He said crossing his arms.

"I don't want your food. The Empire is coming back and we won't make it to our ship. Can you help us?"

He looked me in the eyes while he was thinking.

"Why would I help some strangers?"

"Because that's what we do." Hera said and the expression on his face showed that Hera got his attention, now.

We stood there for some minutes till Zeb broke the silence.

"The Empire!"

We didn't notice that the empire surrounded us again. And I have to admit. We thought we lost. Agent Kallus ordered us to drop our weapons and we did.

"Your time of helping is over Rebels. Every Rebel cell died and you will follow. "

"Not if I'm still alive!" The kid yelled back what made Kallus jump a little because he didn't notice him.

The kid got the troopers down again and agent Kallus was the only one standing now.

"The Bridger's child... Didn't know that you were still breathing."

"Nobody does." He said taking a better hold on his bow.

"Helping these Rebels, rat? I thought you fought alone since what happened to your parents." The agent said grinning.

"I do both. Anyway I liked to see you again but I have to go."

"Where? You're alone. Nobody knows or cares about you."

"Neither about you, so that makes us even." He fired back.

He shot in Kallus his leg and walked away. The crew and I still stood the same.

"You coming or what?" He said pointing towards some walkers who were heading towards us.

We followed him, not knowing where he's going to take us. But the force tells me we can trust him.

Out of Kallus and the boy's conversation I guess he's an orphan. Andhe's the son of Mira and Ephraim Bridger. They were the reason Hera and Idecided to fight against the Empire and make a crew... if he is their son...does that mean he has been on his own for 8 years? How did he survived that?!We can't even find food for two days... he had to for 8 years... I guess we'regoing to need this kid for some days. Maybe we get to know him better? EzraBridger. Maybe the future spectre 6?
