Chapter 1- Plan

Ezra's POV

"Ezra...Come get some food and we have a mission. Let's go!" Kanan said pounding loudly on the door to the room that I share with Zeb. It had been four days since Kanan and I got back from Lothal after finding out that my parents are, dead. Since we got back I haven't left this room or seen anyone, except for when Hera tried to get me to eat something and when Zeb goes to bed which is when I sneak out and sit in the nose gun with the picture of my family Sabine got me for my birthday. Otherwise I never really heard from anyone, and I didn't really want to. My parents death was my fault. They wouldn't have organized that prison break and died if they hadn't heard my message and been inspired to try to get out.

As I sat on my bunk contemplating my depressing thoughts I heard the heavy footsteps of Zeb heading toward our room. Then the door slid open with a hiss and Zeb was standing in front of me. Before I could get away from him he grabbed me around the waist, threw me over his shoulder, and walked out of our room towards the common room are saying, "Kanan told you we have a mission. You should have come when he told ya cause now I have to carry ya," he growled as I struggled to get out of his grip. I was indignant. They didn't trust me to come when called, sure I was thinking of just sitting there but still, so they tell Zeb to come and carry me to them. Really!

As I continued to struggle pointlessly, grumbling about the injustice of the entire situation Zeb and I entered the common room and Zebv set me down in front of the holotable which was playing the Imperial broadcast station. When he set me down Hera, Kanan, Sabine, and to my surprise, Ahsoka, and Rex looked up at me.

"You didn't have to send Zeb after me," I complained to them.

"Well, I had told you to come and I could sense that you weren't going to come, so I sent Zeb. Now come sit down we need to get on with this briefing," Kanan answered nonchalantly looking back down at the datapad he was holding.

"Come on. I made you some space waffles," Hera said sweetly sliding a plate of my favorite food over to the empty spot at the table. The waffles did look and smell amazing and I knew that their was no way I was going to get out of this so I sat down and sug into the delicious breakfast.

I looked up as Ahsoka started talking, "SO we found this yesterday." SHe then pulled a section of video up and started it. THere was a mass break out at one of our highly guarded prisons in the Lothal system a few days ago. However we were able to catch five of the escaped prisoners. Two of them we believe were the masterminds behind this plot. As a punishment for their actions, they will be publicly executed tomorrow in Capital City on Lothal at noon. THe video ended here. The breakout was obviously my parents and the two they mentioned sounded like them. Could they be alive? No, it was impossible. But, just maybe.

The thoughts flying through my head were interrupted by Kanan saying, " Well, we got to save them. We're already on course for Lothal. This is the plan we've set up." He then proceeded to go into detail the plan for the prisoners' rescue. The plan was simple. Sabine, Zeb, and Rex would cause a distraction while Ahsoka, Kanan, and I snuck behind the garrison. Then I would work on freeing the prisoner while Kanan and Ahsoka covered me. We would rendezvous back at the Ghost where Hera and Chopper will be waiting for us and be ready to give air support if needed.

"Ok. That's the plan. We're now twenty minutes out from Lothal. GO get ready," Kanan finished up and Zeb, Sabine, and I jumped up heading to our rooms to grab our stuff.

No matter how foolish I know it is I couldn't help but hope that my parents were still alive and we were going to rescue them. It might not be true, but I can hope.

Kanan's POV

I was glad to see a spark back in Ezra's previously dull eyes as he jumped up with the others and rushed off. It was good to see him not so down after the news we thought was definate.

Looking at Ahsoka I asked her, "Did you look into who they're executing?"

"Yes," she answered, "And they are Ezra's parents."

"But, I thought they were dead," a confused Hera said.

"The thing is, that Rider Azadi only said that they were separated. Not that they were dead," I answered her unasked question. THen I stated the obvious,"We definitely have to save them." Even if we didn't get the others. One way or another I would find a way to save them. "I promise you Ezra," I murmured softly, "we will save your parents." The four of us at the table looked at each other and nodded. We were going to complete this mission one way or another. No matter what.

I hope you guys like this. I was just re-watching Legacy and I realized what Azadi actually said. He never said that he saw them die just that they were separated. So, I thought what is the Empire captured them and the Ghost crew found out and tried to save them. This is what happened. So, basically this is my feeble attempted at have Ezra's parents still be alive. Read, Review, and Enjoy.
