Hera put The Phantom in full throttle and began to chase after the single imperial ship. Kanan continuously urged her to move faster and faster so they could get closer to Ezra. No one understood how badly he wanted his padawan back. He'd rather die than lose Ezra. It wasn't only for the sake of the rebellion, but it was because their bond was so strong. Ezra had become a son to Kanan. Besides, he owes Ezra a rescue.

"Can't you go any faster?" Kanan impatiently asked Hera as they were lagging behind the imperial fleet.
"We're going as fast as possible!" Hera said back. "I don't think we'll be able to catch up!"
"Hera, please! At least try!"

Hera attempted to push the ship a little further into the red zone. However, the ship shook as if they were entering heavy turbulence and then drastically decelerated. Kanan felt the ship slow down and saw the imperial fleet flying away with his padawan.

"I'm sorry, Kanan," Hera sighed. "We all wanted Ezra back more than anything..."

Kanan dragged himself to the back of The Phantom and pulled down a seat and began to contemplate a new rescue plan. Hera hopelessly returned to piloting her ship and started to return to the rebel base, still a member short. Zeb and Sabine shot each other melancholy looks as Chopper let out a depressing mechanical noise.

"No! Let me go!" Ezra fought as The Fifth Brother restrained him even further.

He was being forced onto the imperial ship to be brought to Coruscant. Ezra knew that he might never see the light again if he lost this battle. His arms were restrained behind his back and The Fifth Brother was escorting him throughout the ship as droids and two stormtroopers surrounded them. He was being forced down a dead-end hallway and there was only one door and it seemed very protected.

"Stop!--" Ezra screamed.

Suddenly, The Fifth Brother spun him around and forced his head into an uncomfortable position. His eyes were looking straight up at The Fifth Brother's menacing appearance.

"Shut up!" The Fifth Brother said back.

Ezra heard doors open and then he was thrown into the cell. He didn't look to see where he was before the doors slammed shut. Out of nowhere, he felt a powerful kick and was engulfed with pain once again. He looked up and saw two different-looking stormtroopers. Then, a message appeared on one of their comms.

"Make sure he forgets everything within the last hour, and only within the last hour," a voice commanded.

The two stormtroopers began to reproach Ezra, who was unaware of the message. All Ezra saw was a needle coming toward him and he couldn't get away. Everything flared up in pain and then
