Once Upon a Slave...

Chapter 17

Ezra's P.O.V

   Everything around me didn't matter at that moment. Me and my parents kept staring at each other until we finally broke and we all met in the middle of the cell. We engulfed each other in a big hug and I could feel tears in my eyes roll down my cheeks. They were alive! I couldn't believe it! They are here and alive!

"I c-can't believe it," my mom said looking me in the eyes with a smile, "My baby boy is alive." I couldn't stop smiling and crying in joy but then I remembered that we weren't home free yet. "Come on, we need to get out of here," my dad said and we all ran out of the cell. We met up with Kanan who was getting the last couple of slaves and telling them to head to the roof. He turned and saw me and my parents. "Let's go! They are coming!" Kanan said and we ran up a stairway to get to the roof with all the others.

   When we got to the top, Sabine was guiding the slaves calmly on board in single file. Zeb was holding off some men in white armor that were firing back. I jumped when a load clap of thunder boomed through the sky. It began to sprinkle but I could see from a distance that pouring rain was going to be coming soon. The four of us ran to the Ghost as fast as we could but were blocked off by some men in white.

   Kanan took out his deadly glow stick and deflected the blaster fire. My mom and dad ran off and grabbed their own weapons before coming back to help Kanan. I just watched helplessly as we made our way slowly through the blockade of men in white armor. Then it started to pour and became harder to see where the Ghost was.

   The blaster fire stopped suddenly and I could see Kanan's face go pale. I began to shiver, not just from the rain but something else. "Oh no..." Kanan muttered and I started to worry. I turned to face where Kanan was staring at and saw a figure in all black. He ignited his open glow stick but his was red and something tells me that we are in trouble. My parents fired at the figure but he just deflected them back and my parents fell to the ground.

   I kneeled down next to both of them to see if they were ok. I sighed when the blaster wound didn't look severe and they would be fine. Unless this guy in black armor decides to make things more challenging than it seems. "Kid, get your parents and get to the ship," Kanan said and I watched as he went to fight the guy with an unsettling presence.

   I shook my parents and they woke up. I helped them to their feet and we went off to the ship. We made it and I looked back at Kanan to see him still fighting and not doing so good at it. Who was that guy in black armor? Whoever he is, he is very strong and I don't like the feel of the cold that's coming from him when near. This wasn't good then I felt a hand lay on my shoulder. I looked over to see my parents giving me a warm smile.

My mom knelt down to me and gave me a hug along with my dad. They whispered, "I love you," then let go of me. What were they up to?

Kanan's P.O.V

I kept fighting and fighting the Sith Lord but I was no match for him. Soon he had the advantage and hit my good arm. I screamed in pain and held the wound. The Sith slowly walked over to me and I searched for my saber. I found it over a ways but the Sith already grabbed it by using the force.

I grabbed my comm and turned it on. "Specter 2, get out of here!" I yelled into the comm. "Negative Specter 1, I won't be able to get out until the airlock opens," I heard Hera say through the comm. Suddenly my comm was taken out of my hand and into the Sith's. He crushed the communication device in his hand and I knew that this was it.

"You fought well," the Sith said, "But you will never be good enough to protect them or be a true Jedi." I growled in angry and glared daggers at him. The Sith Lord raised his blade and I bowed my head to wait for my fate. Then blaster fire echoed and the sound of deflation. I looked up to see Ezra's parents run over and shooting at the Sith Lord?! Are they crazy?! I took my chance and used the force to grab my lightsaber.

I ignited it and began to fight Vader again ignoring the pain in my arm. "Go and open the airlock," I told Ezra's parents. Ezra's mother nodded and ran over to the controls while Ezra's father kept guard of her. I was soon force pushed back into a wall and was knocked out.

Ezra's P.O.V

After mom and dad took off, I was being held back by other slaves. I wanted to go help them but no one was going to let me go to I stopped struggling and watched the fight. Mom and dad ran over to somewhere while Kanan was battling the man in black armor. My heart stopped when the guy in armor did something which sent Kanan flying into a wall, knocking him out.

I heard a couple of gasps from behind me as the evil guy turned and walked over to my parents. No. No. No. No, not them, I just got them back. I pleaded and started to struggle but strong arms restrained me. The arms felt a bit furry and I voice said, "Kid, you're not going out there." Zeb, Zeb was holding me.

I struggled harder and harder to go help but Zeb wouldn't budge. I heard blaster fire and saw my father firing the the man in black armor. The evil man deflected the shots right back at my father who fell to the ground when the shots hit there target. I could feel tears in my eyes, my dad was dead and I couldn't do a thing about it but I still could save my mom. I struggled in Zeb's arms to go help my mother. "Kid, close your eyes," Zeb told me calmly, "Look away and close your eyes."

I was crying and making squeaky grunts to somehow free myself to do something. I didn't listen to Zeb and watched as Vader was getting closer and closer to my mother. Then I heard a blade ignite...
