Ezra woke up to the wonderful greeting of the roof of a cell and a sharp stinging pain in his left arm, he was confused to where he was and how he got here. When it all came back in a flash the trap, the fight with the sith lord Darth Vader, that ended with a lightsaber slash to the arm and Ezra being force choked into unconsciousness, then waking up here. Where ever here is. He tried to sit up but immediately regrated it as a powerful wave of nausea washed across him, forcing himself to lie back down. "Uh karabast!" Ezra tried to sit up again but slowly and more cautiously. He looked around his cell it was nothing exciting just a small box. The sharp stinging in his arm bought him back to reality, he looked down at his arm and almost had a heart attack when he saw how bad his wound really was. A deep gash ran from his elbow to his wrist, the surrounding area was red and green indicating an infection. Judging from the dried blood around it, Ezra had been unconscious for a while, he tried to move his fingers but to his dismay he couldn't seem to move any of them. He needed to figure out how to escape and fast. He could sense that Darth Vader was nearby, he was like a beacon for the dark side of the force. Ezra knew that the longer he stayed here the closer and closer to the dark side he would become. He could already feel it happening, his anger fear and hate taking over. Ezra took a deep breath and worked at keeping his fear anger and hate at bay. He thought about what his master would do so he decided to meditate. He was just beginning to relax and open up to the force when the door to his cell opened. Ezra opened his eyes and his anger rushed back to him, Darth Vader stood there with his mangled breathing. Ezra wondered what was under that mask and black plastic suit. "Whatever you want from me you won't get it." Ezra says fiercely. Darth Vader looked at the young Jedi apprentice with interest. "Your thoughts betray you, I can sense that you are full of anger, fear and hate. In time you will learn to use these." He starts. "You will serve the Emperor." "You mean you want me to betray my friends and join you, hmm let me think about that." Ezra says in a sarcastic mock thinking voice. "How about no." "You are strong willed but that is nothing in the face of the dark side of the force, in the face of true power – something you Jedi will never understand. Your precious crew can't save you, as we speak they walk into a trap. You will turn or you will die." Says Darth Vader. Vader could feel the boys fear and anger escalate at those words. Good, good use your fear and anger, they will be your greatest ally and power source. Ezra knew that Vader was trying to provoke him. Trying to get him to use his anger, fear and hate, trying to get him to turn. Ezra struggled to keep his emotions at bay, but it was extremely difficult he hated Darth Vader. For everything that he has done for everything that he will do if he continues down the path he was heading. Then something suddenly clicked in his head, something that Ahsoka had told him ages ago and suddenly he knew the true identity of the man behind the mask – Anakin Skywalker former Jedi knight and traitor. Ezra didn't know how Anakin had ended up in that suit, Ezra shivered just thinking how bad he would have had to suffer. Something told him that he didn't want to know. "I will never to like you did" Ezra took a deep breath then spoke the name that hasn't been spoken in years. "Anakin Skywalker." He saw with happiness as the sith lord stiffened, he sensed his anger increase dramatically, coming off him in wave at the mere mention of the name. "Yeah that's right I know who you are, I know what you did and I swear that as long as I live I will never sway to the dark side." "Then you will die." Snarls Vader his robotic voice filled with malice and loathing. "I think I'll pass on that option as...." Before Ezra could finish his sentence his voice suddenly failed him as his feet left the ground and his throat constricted. Vader had him in a force choke...again. "This...move...again....you.... are...nothing...but...a...coward." He managed to choke out then the darkness enveloped him and he had one final thought was this the end?
