Kanan's POV

I was just going to confess Ezra my feelings for him and now that Inquisitor appears ruining my confession. I must find a way to get us out of here. While this guy starts to come closer I Stand in front of Ezra to protect him.

Inquisitor: "Just like a Master, protecting his Padawan. But you cannot protect the boy".

Kanan: "We will see".

Then I ignite my lightsaber as the Inquisitor ignites his. We start clashing saber while Ezra starts to shoot troopers with his slingshot. I push the Inquisitor with the Force and take my com to warn the others.

Kanan: "Specter 1 to all Specters, the Empire found us, I repeat the Empire found us, go back to the Ghost and we will need a pick up".

Com/Hera: "Here Specter 2, coming".

Then the Inquisitor and I are fighting again. Until he uses the Force to push me against a wall, then everything turns black.

Ezra's POV

I am shooting to the troopers while Kanan fights the Inquisitor, I almost finish them when I hear a loud bump and I see that Kanan is unconscious. I try to get to him but then the Inquisitor stands between me and Kanan.

Ezra: "What do you want?! Get out of my way?!"

Inquisitor: "I don't think so, boy. You will be coming with me".

Ezra: "I don't think so".

I shoot at him but then I feel a shoot grazing my arm, then I see that Kallus has shoot me while I was distracted with the Inquisitor. Then the Inquisitor stabs his lightsaber in my leg, I cry out of pain then I fall to the ground.

Inquisitor: "You will be coming with me, whether you want or not".

He says while he approaches to me. Then I scream through the Force for Kanan to help me. 'Kanan, help!'

Kanan's POV

I am starting to wake up when I hear a voice through the Force 'Kanan, help!' I look around and see the Inquisitor and Kallus near Ezra and he has a shoot in his arm and the leg wounded by the lightsaber. I use the Force to push them away from Ezra and go to him.

Kanan: "Don't worry Ezra, everything will be okay".

Ezra only nods at me. I carry him bridal style and starts to run. Then the Inquisitor, Kallus and more troopers start to follow us. I try to lose them but the Inquisitor finds us because of the Force.

I see Zeb, Sam and Sabine coming to us to help with the troopers and the Inquisitor. Zeb starts to fight Kallus, Sabine with the troopers, and Sam fights with the Inquisitor. I see the Ghost starts landing so I head there and bring Ezra to the med-bay and fix his leg and arm the best I can. When I finish, I start to go with the others to help them.

Ezra: "Please don't go".

I turn to tell Ezra that I will be back soon but when I see the fear in his eyes I decide to stay with him to calm him down. Right now he needs me.

Sam's POV

I start fighting the Inquisitor so Kanan can carry Ezra to the Ghost.

Inquisitor: "I see that you're a Jedi too, my Master will be pleased with the capture of two Jedis and a Padawan".

Sam: "If you think I will let you get near my brother, you're wrong".

Inquisitor: "Oh you think you can keep the boy safe from me. For his good surrender".

Sam: "I'm not making deals with a Sith".

We continue fighting until I hear my com sound.

Com/Hera: "All Specters come back to the Ghost".

As I try to get back the Inquisitor continues getting on my way then he stabs his lightsaber in my arm and I scream.

Inquisitor: "I think you will not be with your friends".

Just when I am going to use the Force I see someone shoots to the Inquisitor from the roofs.

Two figures jump from the roofs and start fighting the Inquisitor and the troopers. When I look up I see Zeb coming to me and he carries me to the Ghost. Then I see the two figures run to other way followed by troopers as Hera starts driving the Ghost away from Lothal.

Moments later

Kanan's POV

Now we are all in the common room waiting to know how bad are the injures of Ezra and Sam since Hera practically throw me out of the med-bay, it's been an hour now. Then Hera enters the common room.

Kanan: "How are they?"

Hera: "Sam only has a slight stab on the arm but she will recover in a few days".

Kanan: "And Ezra?"

Hera: "Ezra will take a little more of time since he received one stab directly on the leg so he will not be able to walk in 2-3 weeks, but his arm is fine since the shot grazed him".

Sabine: "What happened Kanan?"

Kanan: "We were finishing with our part of the supply run when suddenly we felt something in the Force, then the Inquisitor and the troopers appeared, we started fighting and I lost conscious when he Force-pushed me against a wall. When I woke up I see Ezra on the ground injured in the leg and arm. I went to him and carried him away until I saw you and headed to the Ghost".

I say with a guilty look.

Hera: "Kanan, it was not your fault that Ezra and Sam got injured".

Kanan: "I know, but I should have protected Ezra better".

Zeb: "Boss you did what you could, and that took all us by surprise, there is nothing you should feel guilty about, the only culprits are the Inquisitor and the Empire".

Sabine: "Zeb is right, Kanan. They will be fine, they're strong".

Kanan: "I know. What happened after I went to the med-bay?"

There is a little silence time before Zeb starts speaking.

Zeb: "Well... when we started to head to the Ghost we heard a scream of pain and we saw Sam on the ground with the Inquisitor above her. Then two figures jumped from the roofs and started to get the Inquisitor and the troopers away from us, giving us an open escape".

Kanan: "Two mysterious figures?"

Sabine: "Yes, but we couldn't see their faces, they were covered with some strange masks".

Hera: "Well, let's leave this here. You want to see how they are?"

Everyone: "Yes".

We all head to the med-bay and we see Ezra and Sam talking, when we enter they stop talking and look at us.

Hera: "How are you?"

Sam: "Better, that guy beat me faster. Who the heck was that guy?!"

Kanan: "From what he said, he's the Inquisitor and a Sith".

Ezra: "What's a Sith?"

Kanan: "A Sith is a Dark-Force user and was the enemy of the Jedi. For a long time, the Jedi Council thought there were no more Sith until the Empire raised".

For a moment, there is an uncomfortable silence knowing that we have a new enemy.

Ezra: "Well, but now we are save and there was only a little of injuries".

He says smiling trying to lighten up the mood, which he gets.

Sam: "But there is still something that worries me".

Hera: "What?"

Sam: "Who were that figures that helped us?"

Kanan: "We don't know but Sabine saw something".

I say then we all look at Sabine.

Sabine: "They were wearing strange masks on their faces".

Sam: "Do you remember how were the masks?"

Sabine: "I think I can draw them".

Hera: "Okay for today has been enough, we all need rest. Sabine come with me to prepare dinner".

Sam: "I'll go too".

Hera: "No, you will stay here and recover. If you try to get out of the med-bay, I'll suspend you from missions for a whole month".

Sam: "Seriously?"

Hera: "Seriously".

Sam: "Hum".

We all laugh after the reaction of Sam and start to get out of the med-bay, while Hera and Sabine make dinner, Zen and I are in charge of making the diagnosis of the ship. It has been a long day. Well I'll try again to tell Ezra my feelings when the things calm down.

Kitsune's POV

We almost get capture, if it wasn't thanks to Washi who was prepare to our pick up we wouldn't make it in time.

Kitsune: "Thanks Washi, as always you're the best with the ship".

Washi: "Of course, I'm the best pilot you know, how's Hyou?"

Kitsune: "I think he's doing fine, just a little tired by that Pau'an".

I see Hyou coming with Koumori so I help them to get to the chair.

Kitsune: "How are you? You feel well? Do you need anything?"

Hyou: "Jejeje... Just a little tired, don't worry I'll be fine".

Kitsune: "If I see that guy again, I'll kick his ass".

Everyone starts laughing.

Washi: "And you're okay... You know... After seeing them after so long?"

Kitsune: "Yes, from what I saw they have a new family who really cares about them, I'm happy for them".

Hyou: "Are you sure?"

I see they are looking at me with worrying looks then I feel a tear run down my cheek. Then Hyou comes to me and hugs me.

Hyou: "Shh, it's okay. Everything will be okay. I know you're afraid of telling them but they'll understand why you left them".

Kitsune: "I-I know... B-But I'm scared..."

Then Washi and Koumori join the hug, they are the only ones who I can truly trust and they don't judge me because of my past. I knew sooner or later this moment would come I have to tell them.

Ezra's POV

My sister left to go to his room to rest. Minutes later Hera and Kanan come with the dinner, then Hera sees that Sam isn't here.

Hera: "Where is Sam?"

Ezra: "She went to her room, don't be angry with her. She just went to rest".

Hera: "Ugh... Fine, only for this time. I'll see how's her".

Then Hera leaves leaving Kanan and me alone.

Kanan: "Take it, you need to recover".

Ezra: "Thanks".

While I'm eating my food, I feel a little nervous staying with Kanan alone. When I finish, I start remembering what happened today, then an idea pops in my head.

Ezra: "Kanan, do you remember when we were at the market?"

Kanan: "Yes, why?"

Ezra: "What were you going to tell me?"

Kanan: "Oh... that... I was going to..."

He starts. I notice he's getting nervous, so I decide not to push him too much after what happened with the Inquisitor.

Ezra: "Calm down, if you want we can talk later after what happened today we all need to rest".

Kanan: "You sure? You'll be fine here?"

Ezra: "Of course, at least I need a little the fresh air after sleeping in the same cabin of Zeb".

We both start laughing when I start to yawn.

Kanan: "Rest now, you need it more than me. And if you need anything call me I'll be right here".

Ezra: "Okay, goodnight".

Kanan: "Goodnight".

With that I start to lay down then let myself been consumed by sleep.

Kanan's POV

I see Ezra is sleep so I kiss his forehead before heading to my room. When I arrive, I change into my night clothes and go to bed to sleep. But I'm still worried about how I will be able to protect Ezra from the Inquisitor. With that in mind I sleep.
