Chapter 6
Sabine's p.o.v
I ran to the cockpit and when I looked outside the window I saw what it once was a star destroyer. The view of the ship made wonder what Ezra is going through right now. I don't even want to think about it. I just want to get Ezra out of there as soon as possible.
"Sabine?" Ashoka asked after I stayed silent for a long.
"Contact Hera"
She nodded.
Hera's p.o.v
I don't know for how long I was sleeping but I felt someone calling my name. I opened my eyes.
"Hera? Hera come in!"
I groaned and took my comm. The movement woke up Jason who sat up rubbing his eyes. I picked up the comm.
"Yes, I'm here"
"Nice. Go to the cockpit and look outside. You need to see this!"
I looked at Jason who looked at me. I ran to the cockpit with Jason close behind and looked out of the window. I gasped. The star destroyer. Or what it was left from it. I took a sharp breath.
"Mama?" I looked at Jason who couldn't take his eyes from the start destroyer. "Is he even alive?"
I didn't knew how to answer. I kneeled down to his level and I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Can you go and bring uncle Zeb and Choper? Tell them that we found Ezra"
He nodded and ran to inform them.
Hang in there Ezra. We're coming.
Jason's p.o.v
I ran to uncle Zeb's room. As I was about to wake him up, my eyes landed on the wall. There was a painting there. I looked at it closely. It was aunt Sabine's artwork for sure. It was a boy with long blue hair. His bed was falling in uncle Zeb and they both had ridiculous faces. I laughed my head off.
"This is Ezra" I heard a voice saying and I looked besides me to see uncle Zeb awake.
"It was a really funny day"
"Maybe you and uncle Ezra can share this story with me once we get him back"
Uncle Zeb looked at me confused.
"We found him" Those three words made him actually jump from his bed outside. I laughed. Even if uncle Zeb didn't want to admit it, he was a big softy.
No one p.o.v
Inside the star destroyer the darkness was shallowing the cell of the young Jedi. He groaned as he a headache started torturing his head again. He was feeling like he was trapped in Hell. A warning threw the force made his headache worst. He sighed. They were here. They found him. After so many years. He felt a burning sensation on his cheeks. Tears. Tears of joy. The joy didn't last long as his breathing became even harder. He gasped and coughed and then groaned again as in his try to breathe he made the pain worst. Thrawn had 'visited' him yesterday and beated him up. From what he could assume he had a broken arm, three broken ribs and a concussion. Even though he was so happy his friends were here he was afraid of Thrawn's threats. He knew that the only thing Thrawn desires is to take revenge from him and his family. Ugly himself, Thrawn entered into the cell.
"Two ships just got on board but I am sure you already know that"
Ezra didn't answer.
"Don't worry, your friends won't manage to get out of here alive so you will stay here as my guest for a little longer"
Thrawn said taking the boy's chin forcing the young man to look at him. Ezra look at him in terror.
"Please, it's me that you want. Do whatever you want to me but please do not hurt my friends. I was the one who did this to you. Not them"
Thrawn smirked.
"And who is going to stop me? You?" he said laughing. He got up and walked slowly to the cell door. Ezra felt so angry. He felt some of his old straight coming back as he got up and went to grab Thrawn but Thrawn being in better condition he just punched him and left the cell. Ezra laid on the floor. All his energy ended. He could barely keep his eyes open. He black out from the pain, the fever and the exhaustion praying that his friends would be fine.
Sabine's p.o.v
We all got out from our ships. Ashoka turned on her light saber to make some light. She closed her eyes only to open them again a second later.
"Come on. I sense him. He is close"
She started running and we followed her. I looked behind me and saw that Jason was struggling to keep up with us. I stopped and turned to him.
"Need any help?"
He nodded.
I picked him up and placed him on my shoulders. As I ran to catch up with the others, I saw Hera mouthing me thank you and I mouthed back you're welcome.
Ashoka suddenly stopped and closed her eyes again.
"What's wrong? Why did we stopped?" Zeb said annoyed and I punched to silence him up. Ashoka open her eyes.
"Hera move!"
Before we could even realize what happened Hera screamed in agony as she was shot on her arm.
"Mom!" Jason shouted as I putted him down. Thrawn came out of the darkness holding a blaster. Ashoka and I jumped in front of Hera and Jason who was help Hera to protect them. Zeb took his bow-riffle and Choper rolled behind of Zeb, to hide.
"Sabine Wren, we meet again at last. So you finally came to save the boy. I don't understand why. He is just a rat and he deserves to rot here as a rat"
I wanted so much to beat him up for what he said but I knew that I had to keep my cool for Ezra's shake.
"Tell us where he is and we will let you live" I said as calm as I could.
"You really believe I will tell you like that?"
"Tell us where he is or we will make you regret the minute you met us" Zeb growled.
Thrawn just smiled and took a controller out of his pocket.
"I have placed explosives in the whole ship. One wrong move and I will press the bottom and then.....boom!"
"You understand that in that way you will get killed too, right?" Ashoka said holding her light saber tighter.
"Do you really think I care? There is nothing for me out there. My life was the empire. Now that it's gone, the only thing I want is revenge. Even if I die I will at least take you with me"
"Thrawn, please! The empire is gone. We don't need to be enemies! Please tell us where Ezra is and we can all leave from here. Please stop this nonsense" Hera pleaded. Wait where is Jason? A minute before he was beside her.
"Oh captain Syndula. Always full of hope. Well, it's time to say goodbye" he said and as he was about to press the bottom he fell on the floor dead. Jason was standing behind him holding Hera's blaster. We all looked at him with wide eyes.
"What? The guy was about to blow up the ship"
Hera sighed. Me and Zeb laughed. Choper made some beeping noises and Ashoka smiled. I turned to Hera.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'll live. The only thing I want is my family back" she said as me and Zeb helped her up. Jason ran and hug her giving her back her blaster. Hera squeezed him back.
Ashoka put a hand on her shoulder.
"We should better get going. We don't know what Thrawn was doing to Ezra all this time. His life might be in danger"
Hera nodded and we followed Ashoka. We reached the prison level. We passed several cells and interrogation rooms. Ashoka stopped in front of a cell. It was locked. I tried to put on the imperial cell code. It's usually the same for every cell but it didn't worked.
"Why isn't it working?" Zeb asked.
"The fact that it isn't working means that the code was changed so that means-"
"That Ezra is in there!" Hera said in realization and excitement.
"Ashoka?"
She nodded.
She laid out her hand and used the force to open the door. When the door slide open we all ran inside. But we all froze in our spot as we saw Ezra laying on the floor looking dead. I heard cries and I looked at Jason who was hugging his mother. Zeb was standing there unable to move. Ashoka wasn't any better. She was just starting at Ezra in shock. I took a look at Ezra again. His arm seemed broken. He also had minor injuries on the rest of his body. He was so thin that I could actually see his bones and he was as pale as dead. I quickly kneeled down and searched for a pulse. I found one but it was really weak.
"He's still alive but he needs medical treatment and fast. Zeb can you carry him to the Ghost?"
"Of course"
"Nice. Ashoka help him. Hera, take care of Jason. Choper get the med bay ready"
They all nodded and we all rushed back to our ships. I helped Choper with the med bay once we were ready Zeb laid Ezra down.
"Zeb, go and help Ashoka to take off. I've got this"
"Okay"
"Choper bring me the med kit and contact with Lothal's Medical Center, tell them that we are coming"
Choper left to do so. Hera and Jason took of and soon I felt the ship's familiar movement. That means that we got in the hyperspace. I placed my hand on Ezra's forehead. He was burning up. More that it should. I took the bandages from the med kit and bandaged his arm and his sides. I put a wet cloth on his forehead and then I took a blanket and put it on him to make sure he was warmed. I just stayed there looking at my long lost friend. I took his hand and squeezed it. I was taken aback when I heard him groan.
"W-where am I-I?"
"Ezra?"
He moved his head to look at me. This little movement must have hurted him because he immediately whimpered in pain.
When he calmed him self he started speaking.
"S-Sabine?" his voice was so weak that I almost didn't hear him.
I rubbed his hand as I answered.
"I'm here Ezra. It's okay. Everything will be okay. We will take a good care of you. Just hung in there for a little longer"
He smiled as he closed his eyes again.
"I knew I could count on you" he whispered as he fall asleep. I stayed there rubbing his hand.
"Welcome back home specter six. Welcome home"
Now for first time in seven years, I felt that things will finally get better.
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Safe travels and have a good day!!!
