Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars Rebels or their characters, I only own Arkilack, Alor, the Master, 

As I walked off the ship and back on to Lothal I was hit with a breath of air, I hadn't been off the planet in awhile, until yesterday that is. As I walked through the outskirts of Capital City on my way back to our secret living area I noticed a fire in the distance and took off at a run, even if it wasn't related at all I couldn't stand here and do nothing. As I got closer I put my helmet on and sealed so the smoke wouldn't bother me as much and drew my pistol from the holster and cautiously proceeded toward the smoke.

As I got closer I heard coughing and the clanking of boots, bucket heads! Activating the infrared scanner in my helmet I saw six troopers. Their helmets won't allow them to see so they're using flashlights I noted, slowly a plan started to formulate in my mind. Quickly I jumped into action. Using two grenades I threw them in two different directions.

The troopers split into two different groups, each heading towards one of the explosions, I followed the group that went further outside of the city. As I approached they seemed to be walking in a line. I slowly snuck up behind one, drew my knife and stuck it into the back of his throat where his helmet didn't seal all the way. Unlucky for me it didn't go as planned and his allies turned around and opened fire on me. I took a bolt to the shoulder before I was able to draw my pistol and shoot them both in the chest.

Reaching for my shoulder I was relieved to discover that it hadn't pierced my armor. I turned the infrared on my helmet off and drew my rifle activating the scanners on it instead. In the distance I saw the three soldiers and was able to pull the trigger a total of three times. Each time I hit one of the troopers, one head shot and two body shots. As I started to walk further into the smoke to see where the fire was, it began to clear.

The fire had cleared out, but it was obvious what had taken the blow, one of our secret holes and as I approached I saw more bucket heads loading mothers and children onto transports before taking off. I saw many dead bodies all around the area. Among them was my master, but I didn't see Bulk anywhere. I saw movement out of the corner of my eye as I continued to see how many we had lost.

I drew my pistol once again and spun around to see my Master standing up looking at me with fear. I took my helmet off and caught him as he fell. He gestured with his finger that I should come closer, obviously to tell me something.

"You're ready," were the last words to leave his mouth before I felt his body go limp in my grasp. A few images flashed through my mind, I saw my sister, my father, storm troopers, fire, and destruction. I heard footsteps behind me, in response I drew my pistol and turned around and fired. I heard a snap and hiss before I saw a blue blade.

"What happened here?" I heard Ezra's voice as he walked up with Zeb on his tail.

"Kid, we're not supposed to be here," he told Ezra.

"Did you do this?" I heard Ezra say.

":Ni swear Ni Kelir gra'tuar gar,"(I swear I will avenge you). I said quietly in Mando'a. "No, I didn't." I said putting my master's head on the ground gently. I then noticed something shiny on his belt, I grabbed it before anyone could notice and stood up.

"Are you okay?" Ezra asked me.

"I will never be okay again..."

A/N: Sorry about the short chapter.
