Rise From The Ashes

Meeting Him

I had been with the Ghost crew for almost two months. I had begged Ahsoka to let me stay, and after I said "I will not leave my brother again." And gave her puppy dog eyes, she finally gave in. Right now we were flying over Geonosis. "Rebel Intelligence was right. The Empire was building something over Geonosis." Ezra says. "Yeah, but what? I've never seen an orbital field this big before." Sabine says. "The Geonosions made weapons back in the Clone Wars. Whatever they are up to, we aren't going to like it." Kanan says. "Must of been huge if they had to build it up here and not on the surface." Zeb says. "Chopper run a planetary scan." Hera orders. "Good idea, in my experience these bugs don't take to, unexpected guests." Rex yells from the gunners sphere. Chopper beeps. "What do you mean there are none down there?" Sabine asks. "Are you cross wired? There a billions of bugs on Geonosis." Rex yells. "They're dead, all of them." I say. "I don't like this one bit." Zeb says. "Let's not jump to conclusions. Let's go check out that construction module." Hera says flying forward. We land and everyone starts to leave Kanan paudpses in front of me. "Stay here in case...." He is caught off by Hera. "In case things go like they usually do?" She asks. "Pretty much." I tell her while I push on Kanan's shoulder trying to make him go down.

We start walking around. "What exactly are we looking for?" Zeb asks. "The primary data-banks, they might have records of what the Empire was building." Sabine answers. "My gut tells me those data-banks will be empty." Kanan says. I didn't really listen though. I sensed a familiar presence. "It's a trap." I whisper. Three doors open around us. All three filled with stromtoopers, but in the one in front of us stood an Agent. One that wouldn't leave my thoughts. I couldn't let the Rebels know about us, or that he was helping us. He stood there shocked for a second. We hadn't seen each other in so long. "Well, well, well. This galaxy just isn't big enough." I say. Before he has time to think I punch him in the face and push him against the wall, while the others go after the troopers. "What are you doing?" He whispers. "They can't know, we have to play this out." I whisper back. "Well in that case." He says with a smug smile. Before I have time to react he swept his leg under me knocking me over so I fell on my back, and then held my hands over my head. "Like that?" He asks. "You're having way to much fun with this." I tell him. "I am not." He argues. I bring my knee up and hit him in the hip. This caused him to bounce back and let go of me. I took the opportunity. I put one hand on his shoulder and pushed it down and used the other arm to roll over so I was now on top of him, holding his arms by his side. "Having fun now?" I ask. "Maybe a little." He says with a smirk. "Emily quit playing and finish him!" Zeb yells. I look over him distracted which caused me to loosen my grip. Alex saw the opportunity and grabbed my hips and threw me off him. I guess he was down playing. "Hey!" I shout. "All is fair in love and war." He whispers. I smile. He nods his head towards Zeb signaling that he was giving me an opening to escape. I ran, but he followed. "Spector four, Spector seven, where are you?" Ezra asks through the coms. "No need to worry Spector six, we have are own way out, escape pods." I tell him running next to Zeb. 

I jump into the pod first and hop into the pilots chair. I heard banging and turned around to see that Alex had joined us in the pod. "Hey! These things aren't meant for three!" I yell. He spins my chair around. He leans over. "Playing hard to get are we?" He asks mischievously. I try not to laugh. I lift my feet up and kick him in the stomach. He flys into Zeb and they both fall over. I turn around. We were heading right for one of Geonosis' moons. "Guys, hold on!" I yell. They stop fighting, look out the window, and then start fighting again. As we hit the surface the last thing I saw was the control panal and then feeling a sharp pain in my head. Then everything went black.

Alex's(Agent Kallus) p.o.v.

I woke up. My leg was killing me. I look around. We were still in the pod. I look up and see Emily lying on the floor. Her head was bleeding slightly and she was unconscious. I reach up and try to shake her, but my fingers only lightly dusted her arm. Something grabbed me by the back of the shirt and I flew out of the pod onto the snow. It was the Lasat. He reaches back into the pod and grabs Emily. He just flung her over his shoulder. "Be careful, she's bleeding." I say. He just lies her on the ground. "She's bleeding!" I say again. "No she isn't." The Lasat says not even glancing at me. I sigh and pull myself over to her. Zeb looks my way. I pick her up a bit and point at the snow. A small patch of red was there. His eyes widened. I them picked her up a bit more so my arm wrapped around her shoulder and showed him the small cut that was on the side of her head. He grabs a medical kit and walks over. "Why do you care so much?" He asks me. I don't answer. He grabs her from me. She grimaced and then relaxed. "Careful!" I shout. He grabs a bandage out of the medical kit. He hands Emily back to me. "Hold this against her head." He tells me. If it helped Emily I wasn't going to argue so I did as I was told, for once. He climbs back into the pod. "What are you doing!" I shout. He climbs out pod with a black box. "A transponder, probably damaged in the crash. If you can repair it, reactivatie its signal, then maybe the Empire will find us before we freeze." We hear a loud growl. "Or worse." I say. I move the bandage away from Emily's head. She had stopped bleeding. He grabs a heater and turns it on. I take Emily and lightly set her on the snow. "I'll take my chances with the cold, and whatever we're sharing this hole with, but I know what happens to Lasats in Imperial prisons." He says. "You don't know much, cooperate and you will get a trail." I tell him. He laughs. "Right." He says sarcastically. We hear another growl. "You better decide, fast." I tell him. I look over. Emily shivers and curls up a bit. "She probably has a concussion, but I think she is just sleeping right know." I tell him. He sits down. "I'm not surprised, she's always up at night because of nightmares, she says they're all about some guy named Alex being killed by the Empire." He says not looking up from the transponder. I'm glad he didn't see my eyes widen. She had nightmares about me? Well to be fair I had many about her being caught by the Empire. "So why do you care so much about her?" He asks. I place a hand on her shoulder. "We knew each other in the Imperial Academy. She was my partner on most missions. Kind, sweet, caring, sarcastic." I start naming things off. "Stubborn, hotheaded, pain in the butt?" Zeb asks. I laugh. "That pretty much sums it up." I say.
