Here it is Jedi baseball. Hope you enjoy. Unfortunately this has become an AU, but it's one of my favorite One shots.
Hera:
I watch Kanan throwing something at Ezra through the windshield of the Ghost. Ezra had Kanan's lightsaber and was swinging it at whatever Kanan was throwing at him. This went on for a couple of hours. Then the two came in. I went to the common room to greet them, but Sabine had beat me to them.
"Come on Kanan. You let Ezra. Why can't I learn how to use it." The girl argues.
"I'm training Ezra to use the Force. Can you use the Force? Didn't think so!" He retorted.
"You don't need the force to hold a lightsaber. Just to build it and keep it working. Other than that it's standard sword fighting."
"Oh yeah, you try deflecting Lightning and blasters with an ordinary sword and then try with a lightsaber." The Jedi argued back not realizing what he was saying.
Sabine didn't miss a thing. "Ok, get me a metal sword & shot stuns at me. I'll do it if you'll teach me how to use your lightsaber."
"You always know how to win an argument don't you Sabine" I say. "Kanan, it really wouldn't hurt any of us to know how to use any available weapon. At least teach us the basics just incase."
"Ok, I know a game I used to play as a youngling in the temple to practice basic swings and block techniques. We can play it tomorrow. It's not like the rest of you will ever have to fight a sith or anyone else who would have one. After all you need the Force to maintain it & that's not something everyone can do." He responds.
"Out of curiosity, you except Ezra to have to fight Sith?" I interject.
"I hope it never comes down to that, but being like us. It's dangerous. He has to lean to channel the force. The advance lightsaber forms are part of that training. I'll teach y'all the basics but I can't teach you everything." He replies with a sigh.
"Where's the kid?" Zeb asked.
"He went straight to bed. I think I'm going to follow" Kanan answers.
"Night love! I think I'll do the same. Night everyone." I say.
Everyone heads to bed.
Sabine:
"Morning everyone!" Ezra says as he walks into the common room. "What's the plan for today?"
"We're all going to play some Jedi training game kid" Zeb says.
"A Jedi training game? We're all playing it?" The kid ask.
"Sabine & Hera insist on being well trained in all fighting and weapons. Including lightsaber techniques." Kanan replies.
"I'd like to see them try using the force." The two Jedi tease.
"So boss need anything for the game?" I ask.
"We'll need something to use as bases we can run to also some paint to mark the lines. I'll have to modify the rules to beginner level being we only have one lightsaber and five people. Chopper will throw blue milk cartons at who ever has the lightsaber." Kanan explains.
"Oh that game you told me about yesterday during our late Jedi training. The one you said that reminded you of?" The kid says.
"That's the one. Kinda glad I get to actually play with you." He responds. "Not to sure about the rest of y'all but there have been other that were not strong with the Force that used lightsabers."
"I can find something Boss." I say ignoring there snippy remarks. "Not like we're playing with a dark saber."
"What do you know about the Jedi weapons of old?" Kanan ask.
"A lot more than the kid. Our kind were once enemies. We became allies. Now I fight on the same team as Jedi. Plus I've seen the Dark saber. My house owns one" I reply.
"You're family stole it from the temple" Kanan retorted.
"I learn a lot more history from the two of you then I ever did in school." Zeb says.
"This is the only way I learn history. Hard to find a good reliable education on the streets. Although I guess I managed better than others finding y'all. Who would have thought stealing a few blasters would actually get me a good education" Ezra remarks.
"I was homeschooled underground during the war by my dad. Jedi actually taught me history at night. They told us stories about their past between battles. Kid we'll teach you anything you want to learn" Hera tells us.
"You were taught history by masters Kenobi, Windu, Skywalker, and Padawan Tano?" Kanan asked her. "Wish I could have sat through those lessons. I learned mine from Grand Master Yoda. Eight hundred years of first hand accounts had he. Know as much do I, not."
"How did you ever learn from that backwards talking species?" Zeb ask.
Kanan doesn't answer. Instead he and Ezra get up with me and follow me to my room. Ezra goes to his room and pulls out a few helmets.
"We could use these as bases. They couldn't provide much protection and they are kinda hard to see out of so they wouldn't be good for anything else." He tells Kanan.
"Here's some paint boss" I say.
"That will all work." Kanan says then leads the two of us outside the Ghost. He stands at a certain spot. "Ezra toss me the Pilots helmet." Ezra tosses him his helmet. Kanan sets it down on the ground. "This will be Home." He walks to another spot & Ezra tosses him a basic stormtrooper helmet. "First!"
"Second" the kid says as he toss another helmet to his master who is now in another spot.
The two repeat the pattern one last time. "Let me guess that helmets third!" I say.
"Sabine paint a straight line between the helmets." Kanan says walking back to the first helmet he sat down. He then calls Chopper and the others. Chopper comes out carting a box of milk cartons. Hera and Zeb following him. "Chop, you will be halfway between this helmet and that helmet." He tells the droid pointing to second. "The rest of y'all will stand at home base here. If you hit the carton then you run to the next base. After each hit run to the next base. When you get home that would count as a run but since we're all on one team we're not going to count runs. Three misses and you let the next person try." he explained. He puts his Lightsaber together and ignites it. "Signal when you're ready like this." He signals to Chopper who throws a carton at him. He hits it then turn off the blade and tosses it to me. "Sabine you're up first being this was your idea. Then Hera, Ezra, Zeb, and I. In that order. Let's see what you can do."
I step up to home and ignite the blue blade. I signal to Chop and he tosses me a carton. I swing the blade and miss. I repeat missing again the second time. The third time I hit it & run to first. Hera misses all three. Ezra and Kanan both got hits on their first try. Zeb got a hit the second time. We continue this batting order for a while. Hera, Zeb, and I got better each time we tried. Eventually everyone made it on their first hit. We all made a few runs. We did this all day. We took a break for lunch but continue with the game until Hera left to cook dinner. It was a fun day. I hope we get to do it again.
