Star Wars Rebels: Starbird Squadron

Chapter 6

I don't own Star Wars Rebels

Ezra had slept well after a night of hanging out with his friends. It was nice to get a reprieve from all the Sith work that he had to do. The next day, Ezra got dressed and headed over to his new starship. Ezra walked up the ramp into the interior, and found that the main holocom was blinking. Ezra pressed the button, and found a pre-recorded message from the Seventh Sister herself.

"Greetings my boy. I trust that you will like your new ship, especially since you will be able to take it on a run for an assignment that I have for you."

Ezra crossed his arms and watched the holo-recording.

"You will go to Lothal, there is a politician there who is speaking out against the empire. You will kill him."

Ezra sighed and set about going to Lothal.

Of all places it had to be Lothal.

Ezra took off and brought his starship out of orbit. Then he set a course for Lothal and sat back as the ship went to hyperspace.

While the ship was traveling Ezra headed to his ships quarters to put on his mission gear. It was similar to his standard clothing, except it had light armor plating along the shoulders and chest, with a mask to wear. Once equipped, Ezra headed back to the cockpit. The ship exited hyperspace and Ezra brought it down to Lothal's surface. He landed in Capital City and quickly began his search for the political figure.

Soon however, Ezra found him. There was a sizeable gathering around a stage with a podium on it, and standing behind the podium was the politician.

Great, now how am I supposed to kill him?

Ezra decided that sneaking about was stupid, and the result would be achieved quicker if he just tipped off the Imperials nearby. And so, Ezra left the rally temporarily. When he returned, he didn't have to wait long before the doors burst open, and stormtroopers quickly filed in. Amidst the confusion Ezra began to approach the politician, pulling out his crimson lightsaber. Ezra leaped and intended to strike the killing blow, when all of a sudden he was thrown back. When Ezra recovered he thought he had gone crazy, because in front of the politician stood Kanan Jarrus and Zeb. Sabine was further back laying down cover fire, but the two men were firmly focused on the sith in front of them.

Oh shit.

Ezra was so taken aback that he couldn't move. Finally however, a piercing thought tore through his head.

Get the fuck out of here! They can't know it's you!

Ezra bolted to his ship, Kanan and Sabine trailing after him while Zeb stayed to watch the politician. He raced throughout the streets, panicking, back to his ship. The two rebels were close behind him.

They can't know! I can't let them know! It'll destroy them!

Kanan could sense the panic radiating from the sith they were chasing. He supposed it was because he knew that he was no match for a Jedi and a Mandalorian.

Ezra knocked over some crates, trying to trip Kanan and Sabine up. Finally he got back to his ship.

Ezra climbed onto the ramp, and turned around to see that the rebels were indeed, very close to him. He threw his hands out, sending them back with a powerful blast of the force. Then he ran inside the ship and took off.

Ezra wasted no time in jumping to lightspeed, else he would be followed.

How are they alive?

Ezra stopped to finally think upon the question that was bothering him. How were they alive? Then all of a sudden it became clear to Ezra.

Seventh Sister lied. The sith are worthless. My training has no meaning, no point.

Ezra's eyebrows narrowed.

Seventh Sister will pay. Her, and all the sith!

Ezra set course for Dromund Kaas.

Once he had arrived, Ezra immediately sought out his friends. He found them soon enough, and told them about what he had found. He also told them about what he was going to do.

"Damn man, don't you think this might be a little extreme?" asked Aloysius.

"Of course not! My entire place here is pointless!" Ezra shouted.

"I think Ezra's right, we should do something about the sith here" Tariss added.

"Alright then, what should we do?" asked Aloysius once more.

Ezra paused, then met both of his friends' eyes.

"We rig bombs all across the temple, and blow it."

And so they did. Ezra had to admit, it was a pretty sight when he saw the bombs go off, and the entire temple obliterated. The three friends escaped on Ezra's starship, and flew off into space. But they were all left with one question.

Now what do we do?
