Ezra's P.O.V

   "Ezra! What are you doing down here?"

   "AAAHHH! HE'S COMING! HELP! DADDY! MOMMY! THE MONSTERS ARE GOING TO GET ME! HEL-AAAAAHHHHHH!"

   "You're very special, Ezra. More special than you know."

   "It's not fair! Why do you love him more than me?! Did you just take me in cause you pity me?!"

   "...will change the world forever..."

   "...fOrEvEr..."

   My eyes shot open and breathed heavily, looking at my surroundings to see I'm still in an imperial cell. What the heck was that? A dream...or a nightmare?

   "It's sad to know that you haven't figured it out yet."

   My heart leaped up to my throat when hearing the phony's voice. He was getting on my nerves as he just sat in front of me and polished his gun. To bad I'm chained up or there would be teeth getting knocked out by now.

   "Oh great, I'm still having a nightmare," I snarked.

   "I assure you I'm as real as your fear but can't say as powerful," the fake spoke, seeming impressed and amused. I glared at the man who's gaze met mine before standing up.

   "You know..." he said in wonder, pointing the gun to the side of my head, "...I've always wanted to see how much brain could splatter on a wall. I've never had the chance to do it because it wasn't as fun as torturing people to the brink of insanity."

   "You must be talking about yourself then," I snapped back, a small smirk forming. He blinked now unamused, a frown pulling at his lips. He pulled the gun away from my head and shot it at my arm instead.

I screamed as a jolt of pain throbbed up and down my arm. It felt like it was on fire and slowly twisted like a knife plunged on that very spot. Blood seeped through my clothes and staining it red, dripping onto the floor. Every breath hurt, every movement was like repeatedly dying over and over again.

Fire. Fire. Fire. It burned, stung, throbbed until it was the only thing on my mind. Pain, unbearable pain. Cutting, ripping apart, and torture.

I longed for anything to stop it but knew it wouldn't. At least, not until I heal it which wasn't the case since my arms are trapped.

"Next time, you better learn to shut your mouth before I do it myself," he sneered. Every word was echoed and the world became dizzy. Why are there three of him? I blinked, trying to focus on one but black dots invaded my vision.

"Sweet nightmares," the fake cooed. Everything went into a dark void of nothing. An abyss with no way out, no light or turns. No walls or floors or roof. Empty. I felt weak and helpless but this wasn't going to stop me.

I need to find Kanan and get us out of here.

Hera's P.O.V

Time was running out. Every minute wasted and hope slowly being lost. First, we lose Ezra and Kanan. Then, Rey is still currently in the medical bay after hours with no report. Now, the Infected have all disappeared in thin air.

Ahsoka and I are thinking of a plan to get get Kanan back and ways to find Ezra. Maybe he was captured by the imperials or turned into an Infected and disappeared with the others.

There were many theories to what happened to him. Yet, it all seemed to dig a deeper whole that we don't have time to climb out of.

"We could sneak in through the vents and turn off the security cameras and alarms?" Sabine suggested. She pointed at a ventilation system behind the building that could led deep into the building. I shook my head "no."

"The imperials are plain stupid but not that dumb to not link sensors on their vents or electrify the bars. We'll be spotted and dead before we could think on our feet," I explained. Sabine huffed, throwing her hands in the air in disbelief.

"Well, I don't see you coming up with any flawless ideas over there. I'm sure any of our ideas will end terribly but we at least need to give it a shot," she spat, narrowing her eyes.

"Sabine, cool down before I have to get an ice bucket to put you out. You're going to burn the place down," I replied. The teen blew smoke from her nose like an angry bull and crossed her arms, glaring at me.

"I think what Hera was trying to say is that you have some good ideas, Sabine. Yet, I don't we want to get in trouble while trying to break into the facility," Ahsoka said.

"And to top that off, we don't even know where in the kriffing place they would even be. They could be anywhere," Zeb informed.

"And that's why you have me, beasty," Cornelius spoke up with a giant, mad smile.

"I can track them down with just a bit of their DNA with this!" The scientist showed them a remote with a radar, a small satellite sticking out from the top.

"With this child of mine, we can track down any living being on Earth," Cornelius added, proud of himself before the device exploded. Chopper grumble something about "humans being idiots" before I slapped him upside his small, metal head.

My eyes were drawn over to Tua who sat quietly on the side. She hasn't said a word ever since Rey was put into the medical bay. She kept her head down and lost herself in her thoughts for the longest time. I even caught Zeb look over at her a couple of times.

The past they had was still unknown to me but there was some rich history between the two. I could tell they used to be close friends. So what happened to that bond?

"Tua," I said, getting the blonde woman's attention. Bags decorated under her eyelids and face as pale as paper. She looked like a mess.

"Can I speak with you for a moment in private?" I asked. Tua nodded and followed me out of the room until we were out in the hall. A couple people passed us but didn't bother us in any way.

"I just want to know how you're handling all of this. You don't look so good and seem lost these past couple of days," I said, placing a hand of her shoulder. She seemed reassured by the gesture and relaxed a little.

"I've just have a lot on my shoulders. I've met people I haven't seen in years and found my child who I thought was dead. Now, she could be sleeping on her death bed at this moment and it scares me to pieces. Why is my life so messed up?" She explained, tears brimming her eyes.

I felt my chest clench in guilt for Tua. Life knew what buttons to press to make her life so horrible. She has been through so much and wonders when the pain will end. Many people are still suffering these days.

I knew that if Sabine or Ezra were in the place of Rey, there would be a part of me broken. Losing a child you just found is terrible and couldn't help but feel guilty for not seeing it earlier.

"I lose my child after just finding her. My supposed lover that cheated on me years ago, I saw again. And then everything else on this twisted planet," Tua seethed.

"Rey's father?" I questioned and she nodded.

"That despicable man will pay for everything he has done to Rey and I!" She snapped.

"Calm down, I know that everything is messed up right now but we don't need anymore problems like destroying the base," I said. She took a couple deep breathes before nodding.

"My power...that's it! I know how we can find and rescue Ezra and Kanan!" she said, ecstatically. My eyes widen and I was about to ask something when someone cleared their throat. We both turned to see a doctor with a gloomy look on his face.

"Yes?" I asked, hesitatingly. Tua tensed when seeing the doctor and worried for the news. The doctor bowed his head and sadly spoke, "Miss Tua, I am sorry to say that Rey has passed away."
