Hey Guys! Yay! Another update, but... I have HUGE writers block at the moment, and this is the last pre-written chapter soooo... I might therefore update a little late, but hopefully I can stick to my usual update days. This was supposed to be part of the last chapter, so it's a little shorter than usual. Mana(Guest): I don't really have a name for it, but it's a good idea that I should make up a name for it! PS. Hopefully this chapter is believeable, I re-wrote it sooo many times, some parts of it just wasn't quite... right...
Kanan.
For the first time in days, Ezra awoke from underneath the monster that had trapped him in himself. He arose from underneath, determined to restore everything he had lost to the intruder and gasped, finally able to see through his own eyes once again, regaining all senses of his own body, unable to believe what he was doing, and halted his attacks. He lowered his lightsaber, grip loosening, de-activating his lightsaber. His eyes cleared and became the blue the whole crew knew.
"K-Kanan?" he stuttered, widening his eyes in disbelief. Behind him, he heard a roar of fury, yet all his attention was on the man in front of him, whose face now twisted into a mask of utter and complete relief and joy, cyan eyes shining.
"Ezra!" he said quietly yet joyously, de-activating his lightsaber. The crew of Ghost relaxed their stance and echoed Kanan's relief. Zeb grunted and chuckled, Sabine and Hera simply smiled. The Stormtroopers shifted nervously, certain that the plan had not gone smoothly as they had planned.
But the monster still had the upper hand in Ezra's mind and Ezra was still weak and confused from his suddenly regained control of his own mind and body, as well as the new surroundings he found himself in. The enraged Inquisitor once again tried to force him to go into a trance, and battered relentlessly at Ezra's ravaged defences, ignoring all the startled and confused looks from the Stormtroopers, awaiting orders, not knowing what to do underneath this new situation. Ezra suddenly toppled forwards onto his knees, yet this time he didn't faint. Instead, he screamed at the pain and agony he was being put through once again. Kanan put his lightsaber back onto his belt and dropped down onto his knees hurriedly, gently flipping Ezra over, eyes widening in dismay.
"Ezra!" His heart was breaking into a million tiny pieces at the pain in the scream.
"Go… go… I can keep him off for a while…" groaned out Ezra, sweat beading his forehead, pain filling his now normal eyes. The Inquisitor advanced on Ezra, lightsaber ignited, eyes narrowed, teeth bared. Ezra's mouth grew taut into a stubborn line, stood up gripping his own lightsaber and igniting it while letting out a groan of pain.
"I'm not leaving you!" said Kanan urgently, eyes darting all over the place, shaking his head at the same time. He activated his lightsaber and moved forwards. The crew had started moving forwards to help, even though their handcuffs had not been removed sp their movement was greatly limited.
"You- have- to… crew depending on you…I can keep him distracted… if I go with you he'll follow…" The words reverberated in Kanan's mind. The Inquisitor clashed with Ezra. Somehow, Ezra blocked it, as well as letting out a scream. The boy had no chance of winning and he knew that. Kanan couldn't leave him…
"Stormtroopers! Attack the rebels!" said the Inquisitor in a tight voice. He aimed once again at Ezra. The Stormtroppers hesitated for a moment before going into an attack formation.
Suddenly, an invisible force pushed him out of the door of the base as well as the rest of the crew. They all let out alarmed yells as they landed heavily on the concrete. Kanan realized what had happened straight away.
"Ezra!" That kid... that kid… his plan is crazy. Zeb groaned and shook his head to get rid of his dizziness. Ezra yelled one last word.
"Go!"
The door slammed shut.
"NO!"
I can't get in without a pass key… No wait, I can open it with the Force… But it's magnetic…
"Ka-Kanan, we have to go…" Hera said as she got up, tears brimming in her eyes.
"NO! We can't leave Ezra!" yelled Sabine, and scrambled up. Zeb grunted in agreement, heaving himself up, and waved his hands around in disgust.
"I-I left him once before, I can't do it again!"
I can… I can open the door if I try hard enough… Through these desperate thoughts and his shock, sadness pierced multiple holes in Kanan's heart, as well as grief. He realized deep down in his heart that no matter what, even if he managed to open the door, the whole base's Stormtroopers, including the Inquisitor, would be ready for them. They would be easily overpowered. Right now the only thing stopping the Inquisitor from running out was because Ezra was fighting him (yet who knew for how much longer) and the Stormtroopers were in disarray. That boy had sacrificed himself just so the crew could escape. For the good of many.
"We'll- we'll come back." He said in a broken voice, mind made up, eyes lowered although he hated every single inch of himself f-for abandoning Ezra. He imprinted the memory of the boy in his mind. The blue eyes he had just regained, yet probably would lose once again. The long navy hair, always in a mess. It isn't the last time I'll see him.
The whole crew looked at him, depending on him.
He was such a coward. Weakling. Disappointment.
He fled.
The boy lay in front of him, once again in his control. The leader of the Stormtroopers looked at him warily, after he reported on the escape of the rebels.
The Inquisitor wasn't angry.
The Inquisitor was furious.
Sooooo... hopefully that was believable (like the parts where the crew left him, and Ezra fighting the Inquisitor). Hopefully I'll update soon... :))) Thanks guys for ALL the support you have shown to this story and me!
