Master and Padawan

Star Wars: Rebels A.U. The Jedi and the Republic never fell, Anakin didn't fall and Palpatine in dead. Ezra is Padawan to Caleb Dume, Hera is a Jedi Consular and Sabine is her Padawan, Zeb is a gruff Jedi Sentinel and Temple Guard. The crew of the Ghost are Jedi in this.

Chapter 1: Mission

Jedi Padawan Ezra Shan stood beside his Master, Caleb Dume (Who on mission calls himself Kanan Jarrus) and Jedi Master Garazeb Orrelios before the Jedi High Council, waiting for Jedi Knight Hera Syndulla and her Padawan Sabine Wren.

Master Orrelios stared at the ceiling, while Caleb and Ezra stood blank faced waiting for the two.

"Where are they?" Questioned Zeb, his seemingly never ending patience showing.

As he asked that both Hera and Sabine rushed into the council chamber, both panting, seemingly having run through half the Temple to get there.

"Pardon our tardiness Master, we were speaking with Master Shan." Said Hera, her breath coming out in pants.

The Twelve Council members (Yoda, Mace Windu, Adi Gallia-Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ki-Adi Mundi, Kit Fisto, Aayla Secura-Fisto, Anakin Skywalker, Quinlan Vos, Luminara Unduli-Vos, Razak Delta and Plo Koon) all shifted at the mention of Mira, Ezra stiffened at the mention of his mother.

Ezra and his mother didn't have a good relationship, when Ezra had attended the Gathering he failed to find a crystal in the Ilum Caves, instead having vision of a Temple on Lothal, Mira had been disappointed that Ezra couldn't find his crystal. Master's Kenobi and Skywalker had taken Ezra to Lothal and entered an abandoned Jedi Temple there, where Ezra had three visions, first of the Masters dying at the hand of a Pau'an with a short handled double-bladed lightsaber with a force-disk around the handle. The second was of his friends at the temple talking behind his back and them later dying at the hands of the Pau'an. The third and final vision was Ezra facing the Pau'an alone and it ended with Ezra releasing his fear into the force and him meeting the Guide, who questioned on why Ezra should be a Jedi. Master Kenobi identified the Guide as Deceased Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. Ezra had received two crystals, one went into a traditional lightsaber hilt, which had a green blade, while the other went into a lightsaber/stun blaster hybrid, something Master Windu brought up for its uniqueness and it's impracticalness.

"Even so, Knight Dume and Padawan Shan were in 500 Republica guarding Senator Bonteri." Said Master Delta, leaning forwards on his Saber cane.

"She was quite passionate in our conversation, Master." Said Sabine, rudely.

Sabine was one of the most disrespectful Padawans in the Order, she refused to inform others of what she was doing from time to time and was, much like majority of the Order, cold and rude towards Master Delta.

"Anyway, you are to track down a Devaronian Cikatro Vizago, the Head of the Broken Horn Syndicate, he is in suspicion of smuggling ancient Sith Artefacts from ancient Sith worlds, such as Korriban and Dromund Kaas." Said Master Windu, looking at the five Jedi before him.

"Anakin and I tracked him to Lothal, shortly before this meeting, but alas we lost him." Said Master Kenobi, stroking his beard.

"We also believe that he is smuggling T-7 Ion Disruptors for profit with Military Empire." Said Master Luminara, looking at Ezra and Zeb is particular of the five person group.

"T-7 Disruptors?" Asked Sabine, concerned, "The Senate banned those years ago, you could short circuit an entire ship with one of those."

"That's not why they were banned." Said Master Mundi, Sharply.

"They were banned because of the dangers they have to organic bodies." Said Zeb, quietly.

"If we may, Master Orrelios?" Asked Master Gallia, looking at Zeb, who nodded, "Roughly three years ago, the Military Empire, a group who had sworn loyalty to Palpatine, attacked Lasan, to which both the Jedi and Wookies responded, over fifty Wookie warriors and seventy Jedi Knights and Padawans, including Master Orrelios and Padawan Shan with his previous master, Thora Ratal. The Empire used multiple T-7 Disruptors on the Lasat's, Wookies and Jedi, out of the one hundred and twenty sent as aid, only fifteen returned alive, the Lasat's were wiped to near extinction and many Jedi were killed, including Master Ratal, some were lucky enough to escape with their lives, such as Ezra, who lost his left leg above the knee."

The entire Council chamber was silent, Ezra was staring at the ground, while Zeb stared at the ceiling. Caleb, Hera and Sabine were standing wide eyed and open mouthed in shock.

"What shall we do if we find the Disruptors?" Asked Caleb, snapping himself out of his shock.

"Destroy them the first chance you get, and if you find the Sith Artefacts, bring them to the Temple for containment." Said Master Windu, looking at the small group.

"The force be with you, may it be." Said Master Yoda, his ancient voice rasping.

The group bowed and headed for the Temple Hanger in silence.

When they reached the Hanger, Hera and Sabine headed towards the usual Delta-7 Jedi Fighters, until there was a slight cough behind them.

"We're taking an unmarked ship." Said Ezra, pointing to a modified VCX-light freighter, with an old C1 droid sitting in front of it.

"Ezra, isn't T9-K15 coming with us?" Asked Caleb, referring to the Droid Mira Shan got her son a couple of years ago in an attempt to mend their relationship, which worked to a degree.

"I had her help mum with some old records." Answered Ezra, walking towards the freighter, "Beside it could be worse, we could have C1-10P." Laughed Ezra, before the laugh trailed off when he checked the droids coding.

"What is it?" Asked Sabine, looking at her fellow Padawan.

"We got C1-10P." Said Ezra, a complete deadpan look on his face.

"You had to Jinx us didn't you?" Growled Sabine, pushing Ezra out of the way and walking aboard.

"So who want to turn the little bugger on?" Asked Zeb, just before the Droid sprung to life and zapped both him and Ezra.

"Way ahead of you." Said Hera, sauntering onto the ship.

"Why does she hate me so much?" Asked Ezra, looking at his master.

"She doesn't hate you, she hates what you represent." Said Caleb, walking aboard the ship.

"And what's that?" Asked Ezra, receiving no answer.

"An unorthodox Jedi with a mind of their own." Said Caleb, walking past his Padawan.

"What's so wrong about that?" Asked Ezra, as he followed his master.

Caleb didn't answer him as they headed for the cock pit.

"Next stop, Lothal." Said Hera, punching in the co-ordinates.
