Here it was. The big mission. Kanan's ultimate sacrifice. Ezra, even Hera we're at shock with him. Ezra didn't want to lose Kanan, not even. Kanan had done so much for him, opening up about their past, letting him join the Crew. Ezra couldn't bear it. Kanan forced everyone to go, Ezra only stood still. "Ezra, go!" Kanan called out to.

"No, I'm not leaving you!" He snapped. Kanan only was getting worried and frustrated. "No, Ezra I need you with the others!" Ezra jumped out next to Kanan. "I need you with the others to!" Kanan rolled his eyes. Geez, I teach this kid way too much. The Grand Inquisitor appeared, jumping off a ship above them.

"Oh, two of my greatest friends." He said coldly. Friends? Not in my book! Ezra thought. Kanan grunted, knowing Ezra wasn't gonna leave. "Bring it on!" He barked. The Inquisitor's lightsaber activated and Ezra felt a chill go down his back. This will be challenging. It ringed in his head.

Kanan jumped and blocked his attack. Ezra came behind and tried to strike. Ezra was push back a little and keeping his balance up. "How well for me. But, which one should I pick?" He looked careful at both of them. "It's me you want!" Kanan hissed. Ezra blinked. No Kanan! He thought madly.

Ezra swirled and hit the Inquisitor's blade well. Ezra stood his ground and stayed focus. Blade up, eyes focus, mind cleared. Kanan even stopped for a second to see Ezra. He had improved well, much indeed he had. "Hmm, your Master has taught you well. Yet, not processed enough." Ezra was force push back into the wall.

"Hey! Don't do that!" Kanan charged at him. "Wow, overprotective much, Jarrus?" Kanan choked a laugh. Probably. Kanan smirked. Ezra ran behind the Inquisitor's back only for him to turn around. "Sneaking?" He said coldly. Ezra swung and sliced a tiny scar on his arm.

"I learn enough!" He said fearless. Kanan gripped his lightsaber more. Ezra did the same, never letting his eyes off his enemy. "Looks like your running out of time." The Inquisitor said looking up at a ship.

Kanan and Ezra looked up with confusion until they saw the transport ship landing down. I gotta bad feeling about this. Kanan thought with fear. "Kanan! Run!" Ezra yelled. "WHAT! Your crazy! No!" Kanan said with a look of 'Ezra have you gone mad?!' .

Agent Kallus walked out with an evil smile. Grand Toff Tarkin appeared as well. Oh snap! Ezra gulped. "Hmmm, two Rebels, Jedi Padawan. Which to choose?" Tarkin pointed. "I'll take the boy down!" Kallus grabbed his gun out. "Ezra Go!" Kanan demand. "Kanan No!"

Geez, this kid has followed me has he? Kanan only grew worried. "Ezra, leave now! I can handle this." Ezra's eyes grew more, he knew that leaving his Master was wrong. He wanted to stay, to fight beside him. To work together. He wanted to stand his ground to help defend. He felt the anger rise, the sadness flow.

"I'm not leaving until your with me or, I sacrifice myself for you!" He let out with anger. Tarkin stood shocked as if he knew already. This boy must be the Jedi's Padawan. What if we take him?

Kanan stumbled back at those words. He never seen Ezra like this before, this was new to him. Ezra would always hide his emotions, his thoughts even his past. It was difficult for the Jedi to figure out the teen well. Ezra only went back to looking at the enemies who stare deep at him.

An idea went off in the Inquisitor's head. "Well, let's see here." He spoke with calm. "How about...this!" In an instinct, the Grand Inquisitor started Force choking Kanan! Ezra gasped and ignited his blue blade. "Let him go!" He cried. Ezra charged towards him and attacked, only for Kallus to push him away.

Kallus started shooting at Ezra while Ezra deflected the bullets away from him. "Let him go! It's me you want, not him!" He yelled with anger. Kanan's heart dropped. Ezra, no! He begged. Ezra only showed a sad face towards his Master. "Take me, just...don't hurt him..." He whisper for them to hear him.

Kallus smiled, Tarkin send to storm troopers while the Inquisitor let's Kanan go. "Kanan! Run! Get out! Run for safety!" He yelled with fear. Kanan only stood still. "Protect the others...be safe..." Ezra force push Kanan into the open area where Zeb, and Sabine left at. Kanan fell back and saw Ezra with a sad expression.

The Grand Inquisitor cut the controls to the door. "Ezra!" Kanan cried. Ezra only shook his head. "Well, then come, my apprentice...let's include a business." Ezra gave a death stare until he was whack upside the head and passed out.

*********

Kanan banged his fist on the door. "Ezra!" He voice cracked. He looked blankly at the door. His breathing was slow yet, silent. He dropped to his knees and pulled his hand to his face, hiding his pain. He was gone, Ezra. The boy who made him laugh, gone, taken away.

Zeb came running in hoping what to see yet, was the opposite. He saw Kanan. Wait! If Kanan was there, then Ezra...

"Kanan?" He said, reaching out to him. Sabine followed behind him. "What? K-Kanan?" She was spooked. "They...took him.." Kanan stood up and looked depressed at Zeb and Sabine. They took a big step back and looked down sadly.

As soon as they reached the Ghost Hera was at the main room. "Ezra, I-Kanan?" She blinked, confused and curious. Kanan walked slowly into the room. Sabine walked passed Kanan and whispers into Hera's ear. Hera froze still and sat down with stress wash over her.

Kanan couldn't help it but run into his room and locked his door. He collapsed to the floor, crying, letting his tears, sad, guilt flow out. His Padawan, his friend was gone before his eyes. He knew that he failed Ezra...deep down...
