3rd Perspective
The second Ezra woke up, he saw himself strapped down to a chair. Fidgeting with the straps, he couldn't losen the ones on both his ankles nor wrists. Thinking he could easily break them, Ezra didn't take the risk. His body was sore from all the electricity that went through his body and all the pain Count Dooku brought to his mind. Though, he was getting to get even worse torture from his 'original' master. He didn't have the strength to escape.

"So, you're not planning to escape?" A sinister voice spoke. Ezra's alarm went off. Glancing around the room, he saw nothing. However, he felt the awfully dark aura coming from outside the doors.

"Who are you?" Ezra asked. This presence is not Ventress's nor Dooku's. It's like none other. It even made him feel a bit timid.

"How could you ask such a question?" The door slid open. A cloaked figure appeared at the steps. His face well hidden, only seeing wrinkles on the surface of his skin. "I'm your true master, of course."

'My original master is an old hag?' Ezra mentally questioned.

"So it's really true that I had a Sith as my first master. How wonderfully horrible," Ezra commented. He rolled eyes, not being interested on learning who he is. Despite him being the Separatists leader and all, Ezra didn't seem to care.

"You shouldn't act that way to your Master," the figure said. Ezra was about to reply until he felt an excruciating pain in his head. His brain was heating up. As if it was being crushed by falling stones.

Ezra did something his never done, "Please stop. Plea....Stop! It's to much pain."

Satisfied, the Sith Lord stopped, "Even now you still apologize for your mistakes."

"Not really," Ezra replied. He looked up, "I just wanted you to stop. So I pretended that it hurt so much that I'd beg. I can't believe you fell for that, that was horrible acting."

"Why you..." The Sith took a short run towards the Jedi Knight. He reached out his hand.

"Tsk," Ezra was able to groan out. The figures hand tightly squeezed Ezra's throat. He could barely breath. When he tried to gasp for air, the Sith just strengthened his grip.

"Do you think this is a joke, boy? This will be the day you start to question the path you took."

Upon arriving, Obi-wan was waiting patiently next to the projector. Next to him was Commander Cody and Captain Rex. Ahsoka and Anakin walked to the projector and waited to go over the plan.

"Are we ready now?" Obi-wan asked. Anakin and Ahsoka nodded. When the hologram turned on, they listened intently. Ahsoka's mind sometimes wondered though. Her excitement kept winning over her and pictured her, Anakin, and Obi-wan saving Ezra. Hopeful that no one got hurt.

"Alright then, it's settled." Obi-wan turned off the hologram. The group gave each other small glances. Ahsoka missed the last part due to he daydreams.

"Yes, General Kenobi. Cody and I will prepare for departure," Rex informed. Obi-wan nodded his head, and Rex and Cody left the room.

"Let's get the materials needed for this rescue mission," Anakin smiled. Obi-wan rolles his eyes.

"Let's just hope Ezra didn't leave a lot of work for us," Obi-wan walked out of the room. Ahsoka and Anakin followed him.

As Obi-wan, Anakin, and Ahsoka went over the plan once more while walking done the hall, a harsh 'bump' hit Ahsoka's shoulder. She angrily turned around.

"At most you can say excuse me!" Ahsoka yelled down the hallways. The two Masters turned to the padawan that inappropriately shouted out loud.

Anakin put a hand on her shoulder, "We apolo...gize... Ezra?"

The person that bumped Ahsoka stopped and turned their body towards them. It was Ezra. The trio went walking to him, but as soon as they did, Ezra walked the opposite direction.

"Hey, Ezra." Anakin caught out to him. Ezra shoved his hand off, his aura gave off a dark vibe.

"What do you want?" He said irritated. They gave him a confused stare.

"What do you mean? You were taken hostage and now you suddenly appeared. How did that happen?" Ahsoka reminded him. Ezra kept glancing around the group. He seemed like he wanted to be alone.

"Did they say anything to you?" Obi-wan inquired. Ezra shot daggers at him. They assumed they were correct. "Ezra, whatever they said was not true."

"How would you know?" Ezra spat. Anakin and Obi-wan gave him a stern look.

"Because you have been raised here since you were a toddler. We learned a lot about you when you trained as a Youngling and Padawan," Obi-wan calmy said. Ahsoka examined the situation.

'Is this how Ezra got when he was told lies by the Separatists?' She thought.

"Enough about this. What happened? How did you escape?" Anakin interrupted. Ezra turned and waved a hand in the air. Shooing them away.

"I had the cruiser blow up. That's all."

Their eyes widened.

"You blew up a cruiser!?" Ahsoka questioned. Ezra didn't turn to face them.

"What's the big deal? They were only droids and maybe a few other people, but so what?" Ezra continued to amble away. The three chased after him. Obi-wan had enough, too.

He grabbed him by his shoulders and forced him to turn around, "How could you blow up a ship containing innocent lives?"

"Does it matter? You and Master Windu didn't seem to care when you murdered my parents!" Ezra shouted at his face. Obi-wan was taken aback by his comment. He let go of his shoulders and took a step back.

"Your parents were Sith and killed thousands of innocent lives. They deserved a punishment for their crimes, and they paid big for it," Anakin told him.

"That doesn't give you any reason to murder them. You always said Jedi aren't killers, we don't use our powers for evil. Yet, my parents are dead because of the Jedi."

"Your parents were Sith, people who used their powers to harm others. They were the evil ones, not us. We saved you and you're the one that decided to take the right path," Obi-wan recalled. That's when Ezra lost it.

"How could you say that! The Jedi are the ones that brought me to the Temple. The Jedi are the ones that made me follow this path. I didn't want to, the Order did. I was forced because there was no where else for me to go to. Why? Because the Jedi murdered the only people I considered family. Because the Jedi took me away from the place I once called home. Don't ever say I wanted to become a Jedi because I chose too. I was the one left without a choice, but to follow your orders. I wasn't meant to be here, can't you understand that! I wasn't meant to be a Jedi, I was meant to be a Sith!"
