TASOO: I do not own Mango. It belongs to EzraSWRebels while Star Wars Rebels belongs to Disney XD. FINAL CHAPTER! OH MY GOSH I CANT BELIEVE IT! So sense I decided to do this so soon, I will give you until the next time I update for the shout outs, which I have no idea what exact day it will be but it will update AFTER FEBRUARY. Aww man, I cried in the last chapter so much, I had no idea that typing and crying at the same time was a thing!
" Mango, were going home." Lisa put her blaster back in its holder, smiling up at her, but her voice was as cold as ice. She reached forward, as if trying to grab her hand when she took a step back, the heel of her foot making a soft clank on the floor.
" Y-y-you killed him?" Mango's voice was soft but heard by everyone, pain etched her heart, so strong, she felt sick to her stomach, but her pain overcome the sickness as she stared at her mother.
" Of course, he is a Sith." Lisa sighed " You would never understand."
" I dont either." Mango turned to Hera, who took a step forward. " Lisa, you were a peacemaker, one who loved both Jedi and Sith, both evil and good, and saw a light beneath them all. What happened to you?" Lisa's eyes turned to slits when she saw Hera.
" Its you. You and him." Lisa pointed a finger to Kanan. " Your the ones who left me behind! Left me to die!" She raised her blaster once again, aiming it at Hera, Kanan unsheathing his lightsaber as soon as Lisa pulled the trigger when-
" THAT'S ENOUGH!" Mango's scream was heard, energy radiating from her fingertips, her left of light, and her right of darkness.
" You sole one life to many from me. I wont stand for you to loose another! You have no right!" Mango's pupils turned white, the once brown part of her eye following its lead. Her blonde hair burst into black and white flames, wings sprouting on her back, the left the wing of the dove, and the right, the wing of a raven.
" The power of a Sith." Kanan whispered, looking at Mango's hair in shock.
" And a peacemaker." Hera noted, watching Mango's wings that were a few feet taller than she was.
" And you have no right to defy your mother." Lisa's eyes turned the same, a bright white, her hair bursting into white flames, her white wings following her lead. They stared each other down, a white aurora surrounding them both.
" Lisa's too powerful, if we don't stop this, Mango will die." Kanan's voice was dark, as he stared the two down, everyone paralyzed in shock.
" Mango..." Ezra whispered. He watched the two clash, Mango mostly dodging Lisa's worst attacks. The white aurora grew stronger and stronger, as he reached out, burned by the touch. The aurora was too strong, it would succumb them all. All he did all his life was watch, until he met the ghost crew, now he knew it was his time to act.
" Mango!" Ezra gritted his teeth walking slowly closer and closer to the girl. Her eyes were getting brighter and brighter, pure LED light seeming to pour out of them like a flashlight, but this was far brighter, far brighter than the sun. In fact, Mango and Lisa's aurora was as hot as the sun, and Ezra could feel his skin bubbling as he felt a sickening feeling that that it might actually be on fire.
" EZRA!" Kanan's scream was heard from behind him, but he couldn't stop, he had to get to Mango, even if it killed him. He inched closer and closer, he shut his eyes as tight as he could, and tried to trace for Mango's signature. He could sense worry and fear etch her heart, but her power said otherwise. She knew that she was not following her heart, she was following her mind. And her mind was making her go out of control.
" Nrg..." Ezra struggled, his hair whipping by the power, well, that was before the wave came. Mango let out an earsplitting screech, shooting her hands out to her sides, power unleashing out of the sweating palms of her hands, creating a tornado of power, as Ezra leaped inside before he could get swept away by the current. His kept his eyes closed, because he knew that if he opened them, he would be blinded for who knows how long.
" Mango!" Ezra called into the white tornado. He kept walking his hands close to his face, trying to protect him from the flying debris that must have been parts of the ship., and for what seemed like an eternity, he found a piece of cloth that connected to an arm.
" Mango, hey hey, its me!" Ezra called over the gushing wind that seemed to be pulling him farther and farther away from her. He fought to keep his arms locked with hers, as she turned and hissed at him. Her once calm face was now morphed into one of rage.
" GET AWAY FROM ME!" Mango hissed, her words overlapping by one another, in an echo version.
" Why? Because if you dont, you will kill me? Your already killing your mom, so just do it! You seem heartless enough to kill one, so why not kill another?" Ezra pressed, he started feeling weightless, and that's when he realized the current was taking him off of his feet, slowly, but progressively.
" She has to PAY FOR WHAT SHE'D DONE!" Mango screamed as loud as she could, her eyebrows creasing down to her eyes, sowing pure fury in her gaze. She killed him, she killed THURMAN! His smile appeared in Mango's mind, and it was what kept her going.
" And what will that accomplish? Do you think it will fill the hole, that hole in your heart?" Ezra asked, but Mango swatted his words away.
" SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!" Mango screeched, and Ezra found it amazing at how he could keep his feet planted to the ground.
" I do! I know what its like to loose someone! My parents are DEAD!" Ezra screamed, Mango thrust her hands to her ears, screaming over the power that flourished through her veins.
Suddenly, everything stopped all at once, the wind vanished in a split second, Mango stopping mid scream and replacing it with a gasp, as if all the air was taken out of her lungs. The light disappeared, her dull skin returning, the light vanishing from her eyes. She swayed back and forth, until something hit her in the side. It was the ground, she remembered as she collapsed, Ezra walked as fast as he could, crouching by Mango.
" ...Mango...? Are... you okay?" Ezra asked, shaking her arm. A murmur was heard from the girl, her eyes closed as she begun to sleep.
" She's just exhausted." A voice was heard from behind Ezra. He turned, to see Kanan smile at him. " You did good." He spoke, helping Ezra to his feet, it was then that a wave of exhaustion engulfed him, his head feeling heavy, numbing all of his injuries. A sweet lull of sleep was calling him too, and before he knew it, he fell back, Kanan catching him by the arms to prevent the kid from falling into him.
" Ezra..." Ezra could hear Kanan say, before his eyes closed, he heard Hera make one last remark.
" Let him sleep, he's exhausted too..." The rest of what Hera said, Ezra didn't hear, the sleep engulfing him.
Ezra woke up inside his bed, but that was not all he saw, there was a sight of neon brown eyes, glittering up at him, and at first, he thought it was a threat, but then saw they belonged to Mango, and his shoulders began to relax.
" Ezra!" Mango leaped up onto the bed and gave the boy a bear hug, tackling him at the same time, and Ezra was torn between feeling hurt or relieved.
" Mango..." Ezra pushed the girl off of him, Mango giggling as he did so. She leaped off the bed and flashed him a wink.
" The ghost crew will be relieved that you are awake, come on!" Mango practically pulled Ezra out of the room, her energy and happiness returned. It was then that the question struck his mind.
" How long was I asleep?" Ezra decided to ask, Mango flinching at the question, a frown was tucked in her lips, but quickly cast it away.
" Aw you know, not that long! You didn't miss much!" Mango dodged the question with a smile, but a frown still kept at Ezra, why would she avoid the question? Was something wrong?
" Look whose awake!" Mango barged into the cargo bay, Ezra following her lead, he smiled at the crew, and felt relieved by their presence. They all smiled at him, seeming overly relieved and missed him so, like he had been gone for years. Which reminded him.
" Hera, how long have I been asleep?" Ezra asked before anyone could greet him, Hera's gaze dropped, her smile slowly fading, along with everyone else.
" Three months." Hera said quietly, but Ezra heard every word of it, his breath taken out of his lungs. He felt a hand to his forehead, and gave out a sigh. Three months? That's a fourth of a year!
" Well... I guess then I wont be sleeping on the job! At least I'm welly rested!" Ezra joked optimistically. He flashed a grin at the crew, all their smiles returning. They expected Ezra to be devastated, but he took it quite nicely.
" That's the spirit!" Mango flashed a grin as she jumped up, pumping her fist in the air. " And I will be sure to work hard to master my talent! Kanan agreed to teach me!" Mango's smile was as wide as it could be, and Ezra wondered if it hurt to smile to big.
" You? But Kanan knows nothing about a peacemaker!" Ezra crossed his arms in wonder, glancing at Kanan. What did he know about raising with someone with so much power?
" Don't forget, I lived with one, remember? I watched her train, and know enough to teach her what I learned." Kanan reminded, the thought entered Ezra.
" Lisa... what ever happened to her?" Mango's frown came when Ezra spoke the sentence, the mention of her mom still made her a little nervous.
" Dunno. She disappeared when the tornado did." Sabine spoke up as soon as the frown of Mango came. Ezra sighed, wondering if she was dead or alive, wondering if making Mango explain, wondering if the fact that he lost three months of his life, was all for nothing.
" It doesn't matter, if she comes back, we will be ready." Kanan nodded in understanding, watching as the whole crew smiled. " I just have to worry about Mango's training."
" So like... keeping that tornado thingy under control?" Ezra decided to ask, but as soon as he finished his sentence, Kanan shot him a hard look.
" That's not what a peacemaker is all about. Mango, that power was given you to protect not destroy. That power of yours, was controlled by pure anger and hate. If you can succumb to the darkness, you can succumb to the light. They must be kept in balance. You only hurt when its necessary, to protect. Other than that, you must never hurt. Not for revenge, not for fun. Do you understand?" Kanan's voice was hard, strict and urgent. Mango sensed this and nodded abruptly, " I understand."
" Good, you only scratched the surface with your powers. But I think I can help you cover ever ability you know." Kanan had a glint of excitement in his eyes, he couldn't wait to get started.
" Wait... does that mean I can stay? I mean... if you think its burden, then I can defiantly leave-" Mango was cut off by Sabine.
" And why would we want you to leave? Your family, remember?" Sabine spoke with a smile. Mango was taken aback by this, her biological family was a lie, could this be the true family she was seeking?
" F-family?" Mango asked, she was shocked by the question, and couldn't speak, she didn't have to worry about it, Hera was there to speak for her.
" Yeah, we were wondering if you wanted to join us, a peacemaker can be very helpful, and we love you, Mango, we all really do." Hera embraced Mango in a hug, Mango smiling by the touch. She released the Twi'lek and turned to the Jedi, smiling at him.
" I'm ready."
" Don't forget, Light can form as a substituent for energy, and you can bend many things against your whim, like wind, earth, lightning, fire, and many other elements. Its important that we explore them all." Kanan instructed.
" Wont that take decades?" She asked exasperatedly, her smile fading as she wondered just how long this training session was. It took her off guard when Kanan nodded, seeming to agree with her. Wait... it was actually gonna take decades?!
" Good thing your so young, we should be done when your around thirty five to fourty years old." Kanan spoke with a grin. WHAT?! Mango said nothing as she exited the ship, Ezra hardly unable to contain his laughter. Ha! He was going to be twenty when he finished his training!
" Depends." Kanan spoke as if reading his mind. Ezra was taken aback by this. " I might just keep you in for twenty more years to go over what we learned and make sure your right on key.
" Aw! But Kanan!"
On planet Endor, a young women was looking in a crystal ball, her blonde hair flapping in the wind. She gave a devious smile at the young girl that went by the name of Mango.
" Well, we will just have to make a visit before she begins her training? Wont we, my pets?" The women took down the hood of her cape to reveal herself as Lisa, as she stared at the two, Dove and Raven. The two pet birds huddled close to one another in fear as the witch cackled loudly.
" I can assure you, my daughter. You will not get in the way with my plans for the two and their crew." Lisa jabbed a finger at Kanan and Hera pure distaste in her voice. She didn't care about Sabine, Zeb or Ezra... okay maybe Ezra just a little, that boy always got on her nerves and got in the way with her plans one time to many. Lisa got up and walked in the forest of Endor, winding around the trees like it was nothing, a small spark of light flashing in her eyes each second. She was going to see her daughter again.
Mango cast a fearful look to the sky that night, the sky of Lothal dotted with stars. She knew with a shiver up her spine, that tomorrow, someone was going to ruin her perfect day once again.
