A Star Wars Rebels Story... ( Completed )

Why Him?

~Ezra

"Okay, so first I help them break in. Then I come back to the ship and stay with Hera to help prepare for a quick escape." I told myself.

I walked into the cockpit to see Hera in a panic.

"Specter's check in... zzzzzz... Specter 1 what is going on! Specter 4 check in!" said Hera frantically. "Ugh! We are being jammed! This is a trap! Ezra!"

"Yes Hera?"

"I need you to go in and get everyone out! It's a trap and I can not warn them from here... I will have the ship ready to go when you guys get back."

I quickly took off to find Kanan and Zeb only to find them in the process of opening the doors to the vault.

"Guys stop! It's a trap!"

"Ezra! Are you sure?" replied Kanan.

"He has got to be joking!" said Zeb.

"No I am serious! Hera said that our coms were being jammed."

"That does mean the empire is up to something..."

*Woosh!*

*laser shots*

"Well I think we just sprung the trap!" said Kanan.

"Run!" Zeb screamed.

We took off, Chopper leading the way. I was running ahead of Zeb.

*shove*

"Hey!" I yelled at Zeb.

I tried to take off running after the big furry beast, but to no avail.

"You are coming with me!" said a mysterious voice as he wrapped his arm around my neck.

"Zeb! Kanan!"

"Kid!" yelled Zeb.

"Kanan, Zeb, Ezra, Sabine, Chopper! Get in! We got to go! Star Destroyer incoming!" Hera screamed into our coms.

I saw Zeb reluctantly moving into the ship as if expecting me to escape. Then it occurred to me, where is Sabine! Then I saw her fall out of the air vent and onto the floor and took off running into the ship.

"Sorry Kid!" Zeb yelled back as he jumped into the ship after Kanan, Sabine and Chopper.

"You did good." he added as his face saddened before closing the doors.

"Do we have everyone?" Asked Hera.

"We got to go!" replied Zeb knowing there was nothing they could do for Ezra.

"Go, go, go!" yelled Kanan.

I watched as I saw the "Ghost" charge up and disappear into hyperspace. 'At least they are safe' I thought to myself. 'I at least I did one good thing in my life.' I thought as a tear ran down my cheek and fell to the floor.

~Sabine

"We need to go back for him!" said Hera, "He is part of our family and never once have we left any part of our family behind."

"This crew is on a democracy, not a dictatorship Hera." Zeb remarked.

"Fine! Then we will put it to a vote." said Hera realizing there was no other way.

"All in favor to rescue Ezra raise your hand."

Kanan and Hera's hands went up.

"All who oppose?"

My hand, Zeb's and Choppers all went up.

I couldn't believe myself, but there was no way I was going on a life or death mission just for one boy who I may have liked more than just as a mismatch in our family.

"Ugh!... fine then... it has been decided... I will plot a course for Lothal..." Hera said sounding disappointed.

'Sorry Ezra' I thought to myself.

'It's okay' I heard ring through my head. It was Ezra! But he wasn't here on the ship?

'It's not your fault Sabine.' he reassured me in the form of an echo in my head.

I quickly dismissed myself to my room and began to weep.

I had voted to not go and rescue him. And now I regretted it more than anything I have ever regretted before, even more than betraying my people for joining the empire rather than fight them in the first place.

"Sabine? You okay? It's Hera... can I come in?"

"The door is unlocked." I told her.

"Oh Sabine... why are you crying? What's the matter?" Hera said as she sat down next to me.

"I regret voting to abandon Ezra... Now I hear his thoughts as if trying to calm me down... telling me it's not my fault for why he was captured..."

Something must have triggered in Hera's mind because she didn't respond, at least until I asked her.

"Hera? You still in there?"

"Kanan! Get in here stat!"

"What! What! What is it!" he said as he came barreling through the doorway.

"You know better than me... when you spoke with Ezra... did you feel like he was force sensitive like you?"

"Come to think of it, I did get the impression that Ezra had a very strong connection to the force. Why?"

"I can hear him!", I blurted, "I can hear his thoughts, and it seems like he can hear mine!"

I could tell by Kanans facial expression that he was very concerned.

"We have to get him back!" spouted Kanan.

"But we voted... and it was decided we were not going back for him..." said Hera

"Well all this talk of regret makes me want to confess", said Zeb rubbing the back of his neck as he entered the room, "I kinda pushed him over trying to escape and the kid got grabbed before he could get back up and continue running."

"You what!" I spouted.

"Look I am sorry! I realize now that it was the wrong thing to do and that is why I would like to change my vote... I would like to go back and rescue the kid." said Zeb

"Yeah Hera... I want to go back for him now as well" I added.

"So we are all in this together right?"

"Right!" We all replied at the same time

'Hold on Ezra. We are coming back for you!' I thought to myself hoping Ezra would hear me.

'We are coming...'
