A/N This chapter explains the horror of the two months of which Sabine had been captured and what had been happening to the remaining crew after the mission.
Sabine's POV:
"Ezra!" I screamed. I felt as if I was falling in slow motion. I saw him look outside of the Phantom and he stared into my eyes and I returned it as I gazed into his. Before I hit the cold metal floor of the hangar I shed a tear. Thud! My head hit the back of the hangar, my vision became blurred and before I passed out of consciousness I could see a shiny red liquid flow past me, my blood of which has came out of my head and created a puddle around me. I was out cold...
Kanan's POV:
We had just made the jump to Chopper Base, it was at that moment I saw Ezra in tears, not only because of the pain of his arm, but because of what happened to Sabine."Don't worry Ezra, ill get a bacta spray on your arm." I told him. "Kanan does it look like care about my arm!" He replied, full of rage. "Why didn't we go back! Hera how could you just leave her?" Everyone stared at Ezra. That is not you talking kid." Zeb said without doubt. "Ezra, you need to be calm. We are all upset about what happened, it wasn't your fault, or Hera's, she was thinking about the rest of us, she didn't want us to be captured either! Can't you see that? Now can you please calm down before you become prone to the dark side?" I asked lightly.
"I'm sorry Kanan, and especially you Hera. I shouldn't have said that. I know you care about Sabine as if she's your daughter and you would'd never leave her if you knew there was a chance to save her..." Ezra said meaningfully. "Can you forgive me?" I could see Hera's face change from upset to a bright smile, she was as happy as she could be after what just happened. "Of course Ezra, but don't talk to me like that again. Ever!" She demanded. The small room of the Phantom, despite being full to the brim with people, was nearly silent all the way back with the exception of Chopper's squeaky old wheels moving back and forth.
After what felt like hours we had landed at Chopper Base. "Commander Sato, will want to know about what has happened in the mission..." Hera said, felling uneasy. "Don't worry" I replied "At least we didn't come out of this with nothing, I was able to find out what Thrawn is planning. 'I'll tell you when we reach the command center." And so we walked through the sandy plains of Atollon encountering some Krykna (spider creatures) behind the sensor beacon fences along the way. Eventually we made it to the command center, Commander Sato was waiting for us. "What happened out there!" He shouted. Hera began to explain the imperial ambush, the loss of the Ghost and Sabine. "Sir, despite how badly the mission went, there is some good news. I was able to find out what Thrawn has been planning." I said, relived that could finally get it off of my chest. "Do you remember when Zeb sent the infiltrator droid back at one of the Empire's ships? Well from that, he found out that the droid was sent from one of the planets in the nearby 96 systems. His search for our base has been narrowed down from thousands to just under 100, and he is getting closer. He's searching the remaining 31 systems but I don't know the order he's searching in. For all we know Atollon could be next...." There was silence in the room for a while.
"So what do you suggest we do?" Commander Sato suddenly said, his voice trembling at the thought that he could lose everything he'd worked so hard for in an instant. "Should we look for a new base?" "I don't know Commader Sato, that is for you to decide" I said. "You should send out a search crew to locate Sabine too." Myself and the remaining crew left the command center and took a stroll of Atollon.
Sabine's POV:
I woke up, well that was unexpected. I thought that I was dead for sure. My eyes darted across the dark room, I was in an imperial cell. Its okay, Ezra and the the crew will be here soon I thought to myself. "Hello!" I shouted through the reinforced door to whoever was on the other side. "You do know that its not nice to ignore someone who says hello right?" I asked being quite cheeky. The door suddenly opened and artificial light beamed through the short space of where the door used to be. A figure emerged through the light. The door closed encasing the room in darkness. Someone began walking towards me, along side that person were two droids of some sort. It was Grand Admiral Thrawn, his eyes pure red, full of evil. "Hello, Sabine Wren. Let me make this easy for you, tell me the location of your rebel base and you won't be hurt. Its that simple! But if you don't, trust me when I say this. You will talk. I will make you talk..." He said slyly. "I thought you were supposed to be smart. Do you really think I'd tell you! Ha! I'll never talk and I'd never put myself before my friends, do your worst!" I shouted at Thrawn. "Trust me Sabine Wren, by the time I'm finished with you, you'll be begging to tell me everything." He replied swiftly. "Droids, she is all yours..." The door closed, and the torture began... I couldn't escape the droids, I was chained to a wall the one thing I could do was scream. It was like this for weeks, and despite the pain I was in, mentally and physically, I hadn't said a word. One day the droids stopped coming. Other types of torture had been prescribed to me. Electrocution, beatings, whipping and for the past two days no food.
I wanted to die. I was alone, forgotten and unloved. I'd rather have the devil's version of hell than man made hell that I'd been forced to endure, well that was until I'd heard the guards talking this morning. "Did you hear about the capture of the Jedi Ezra Bridger? He has been associated with Sabine Wren so he's being transported here and will be used in a method of making the girl talk." One of the guards said to the other. After I heard that I was so happy but yet so sad at the same time. Ezra, despite the odds, came looking for me. *I'm not alone! I'm not forgotten and haven't been this whole time! But the one person I love more than anyone or anything is being used against me, and has been captured because of me.* I thought to myself in solitary confinement.
We aren't going to die here! I'll think of something! I never quit and never will!
