Star Wars: A Hope Reborn

chapter 9

Ezra's fighter landed on the public landing pad of Zargo's Prime. He and Sabine walked down the ramp followed by four supercommandos. The service men in on the landing pad looked at them, wariness and suspicion spread across their faces. The group made their way out of the landing bay and into the crowed street.
"What do we do Mandalor"

Ezra studied the crowed and came to a conclusion

"We shall jetpack over them"

The group activated their jetpacks and went flying, many looking up at them, some had never seen a Mandalorian before. The sight of the warriors was a worrying sight. the group landed outside of the fortress in the centre of the capital city. Ezra turned to his commandos and gave an order

"Stay here commandos"

They nodded and stood by, Ezra and Sabine made their way to the gate and knocked, a slot opened in the wooden gate, the figure spoke

"What do you want Mandalorian"

Ezra stayed at what was visible of the figure. After some time, he spoke

"I wish to speak to the ruler of this world"

The figure spoke and opened the gate. Some guards walked up and the figure spoke

"Your weapons, please. We don't trust your kind here"

Ezra nodded and handed over his weapons, but kept one hidden. His blade was hidden behind his cloths. Sabine gave over her weapons. The group walked into the courtyard. Tress of rare kinds were spread out across the yard, fountains of water as well. Ezra noticed the statues imbedded into the walls, taking note of the one on the far left. They walked into the great doors of the fortress. Inside, was a hall, at the end was an elevator. along the hall, stood many guards, and statues along paintings and maps. They walked into the elevator and the figure pressed a button. The elevator started to go up.

The group reached the level indicated by the button the figure pressed. The doors opened and Ezra saw a figure on a throne at the end of a hall, it was short, but well decorated. Guards stood along the walls. Blasters in their hands. Ready to strike at anyone willing to strike at their ruler. The figure walked up, Ezra and Sabine following, the figure came to a stop and bent over. He then left, leaving Ezra and Sabine in the room. Their weapons were placed next to the ruler. The ruler looked at them and then, after a few minutes, spoke.

"And what do we have here"

Ezra stepped forward, the guards raised their weapons fast. The ruler motioned for them to be at ease.

Ezra then spoke

"Mandalor Ezra Shan-Bridger, looking for the Bridger's"

The figure looked at Ezra, the ruler had a look of surprise and disbelief

"Prove you are a Shan. If you are, then present the blade of Revan"

Ezra looking around moved his hand to his cloak, inside, he felt the hilt of his blade, pulling it out, he ignited it. The purple blade long and elegant. The guards moved their weapons to Ezra. Sabine stood watching, ready to strike if needed. The commandos were waiting orders.

"So, it was true, the Bridger's have betrayed us, so, you will die"

Ezra moved his remaining hand to his head and tapped into the force, talking to Sabine mentally

"Get the commandos"

Sabine nodded, the ruler saw this, and was wary. Seconds later, the windows were shattered as four supercommandos flew in. The elevators below were jammed by guards. Ezra called his blaster to his hand while also sending Sabine's blaster to her. Ezra aimed his blaster and shot the control panel to the elevator, closing the door and shutting anyone from getting in. The guards in the room looked around and took aim at Ezra. The ruler looked at Ezra, he smiled and spoke

"You realise, you are outnumbered here"

Ezra smiled and spoke

"That's why I had backup"

the ruler looked out the shattered window and saw several Kom'rk fighters lying in. Some landing while others deployed troops. The ruler turned back to Ezra, his smile all but gone.

"Ezra, you come here, but why"

"I said before, I seek my fathers side of the family, the Bridger's"

"They live on another island, far out, we were prepping for an attack on them, but you have just distracted the attack force, what are you going to do with me now"

Ezra smiled and shot him twice in the chest, the guards in the room were unable to do anything. Ezra and Sabine as well as the supercommandos flew out into the court yard. A fighter on the ground. Ursa stood, waiting

"My lord, Daughter"

"Ursa, I want you to wipe the fortress of any guards, the ruler is dead, I'm heading out to see my family"

Ursa nodded and turned around, walking off to her troops. Ezra and Sabine walked up, the supercommandos behind them, onto the fighter. Taking off and heading off towards another island.

Ezra landed the fighter on the landing pad and walked down the ramp, A figure walked up to him, he stopped and then spoke

"So you are my brothers son, I'm glad you came"

Ezra looked at him and smiled, he put his hand up. The supercommandos stopped while Sabine went walking with Ezra.

"Uncle, what is wrong"

Ezra's uncle looked at him, then Sabine, taking note of the Mandalorian warriors. He spoke

"What's with the Mandalorian's Nephew"

Ezra looked at Sabine and then back, he spoke

"I am Ezra, Mandalor the Revenge"

Ezra's uncle smiled and then spoke

"My daughter was taken by the empire on Ryloth a few days ago, You have had run ins with the empire, do you think you can rescue her and bring her back"

Ezra smiled and spoke

"It will be done, Sabine, can you gather Clan Wren for assault"

Sabine Smiled, gave Ezra a kiss on the check and walked back to the fighter

"Girlfriend"

"Yes, and fellow Rebel, I will be back when I have your daughter, also, the main land was prepping an attack on you"

"Thanks for the heads up"

"No need, they have already been dealt with by me and Clan Wren"

Ezra's uncle smiled and waved him away, Zargo's Prime was going to have a leadership problem, but it is time for the Bridger's to reclaim their glory, like they were when Revan was in power.
