Everyone was mesmerized by the decorated walls. Tools, loose parts, and various different holocrons and information were simply laying out in front of them. Kanan ran over everything with his eyes. Every single Jedi master, knight, and padawan from the Jedi Order was listed on a wall. He scanned through the list and saw his name, Ahsoka's, Yoda's, and even Ezra's name. He selected Ahsoka's and a whole list of information on her was noted. The information was in so much detail, that it seemed like Ahsoka wrote it herself. Then, he went to his name and noticed that there was little to no information on him compared to Ahsoka. His curiosity took him to Ezra's profile and the myriad of information on his padawan was numerous and meticulous. He took note that each one listed their midi-chlorian count.

"Uh...Kanan, you may want to take a look at this," Ahsoka said.

He turned his head from the screen and saw a tool near the corner of the room. It appeared like a normal blaster a stormtrooper would use, but it had a better targeting system. But force knows even with an advanced targeting system, those incompetent stormtroopers still won't be able to shoot their target.

"I don't get it," Kanan looked at it. "It looks like a normal blaster."
"It's not...," Ahsoka told him. "Don't you think it's strange how The Empire knows our midi-chlorian count?"
"No...if I was on their side, I would want to know."
"I just picked it up off of its stand..."
"And?"
"If you look through the targeting system, it shows a bunch of data. It basically targets a living organism, scans its midi-chlorian count, and then it either highlights the organism in green or red. This device it...it targets force-sensitive people."
"And then it must do something to them if they're shot..."
"There's not enough information lying around here for us to figure it out. I don't like the looks of it though."
"Well--"

The door suddenly opened. The rebels all shot their attention over to the door and saw a cloaked figure standing there.

"Hurry up! Get out!" the cloaked figure commanded.
"Who are you?" Ahsoka asked.
"No time for questions. Let's go! We don't have much time!"

The rebels, without hesitation, raced out of the room and followed the cloaked figure down the hallway. Suddenly, a pulse radiated out from the figure in the force and Ahsoka looked over at the person.

"Master Obi-Wan?" Ahsoka asked as they sprinted out of the building.

Kanan looked over at her as they continued to sprint down to a corner. He was just about to ask her a question when a rogue blast skittered past his head. Stormtroopers.

"Ezra, we need cover! Where you?" Obi-Wan asked through his comm.
"Sorry, master! I'm getting a little side-tracked," Ezra's voice sounded.
"Ezra!" Kanan gasped. "Where is he?"
"He's coming."

Obi-Wan raced over to a window and pulled out a hidden blaster from under his cloak and began to shoot at the incoming stormtroopers. The rebel fleet also aided him.

"Ahsoka, blast through the window!" Obi-Wan told her.

She nodded her head and quickly dismantled the window, making their exit. From a distance, Kanan saw a ship headed toward the building--with TIE fighters closely following it. He saw Ezra's electric blue hair through the ship's windshield and began to usher remaining rebels over towards the window. There was a small amount of time for them to load onto the ship.

"I've already alerted Hera and the others that we're here. They were worried," Obi-Wan said.

Ezra quickly arrived with the ship and lowered the boarding ramp in the air. Quickly, aerial enforcements arrived to help Ezra get rid of the TIEs. One-by-one, they began to jump onto the ship.

The rebel ships easiliy escaped. Of course, there was a strange feeling followed by their simple getaway. The Empire must've let them go for some reason. But due to the dire circumstances, the rebel fleet took advantage of The Empire's generosity, but became even more cautious.

"Master Obi-Wan...it's been a while," Ahsoka started.
"Indeed, it has been," Obi-Wan agreed.
"Master Obi-Wan, we need help. This rebellion needs you. Where have you been all these years?"
"Ahsoka, I believe the rebellion only needs him. I'm out of my prime now; it's not something I can do anymore. Besides, I have a different mission to embark on now."
"I'm sorry, master, but I don't understand. None of us are Jedi masters but you. We need your guidance"
"You don't need to be a master to accomplish something great. You only need the force. It will guide you as needed."

Ahsoka nodded and then took a deep breath.

"Ezra!" The Ghost crew exclaimed as they raced to see their sixth member.

Everyone embraced for a long time and then released. Obviously, there were a few battle scars, but they would heal. All that mattered was that their padawan, Specter Six, was finally home and away from the notorious Empire.

"Is it done?" Vader asked the engineer, expecting good news.

"Yes, my lord. It is pristine and ready for you," the engineer smiled.
"Excellent. We will send troops out to look for these rebels and the boy as soon as possible. Your invention will be useful to me."
"My pleasure, my lord."

"Now, leave me."

The engineer bowed and quickly left. Then, Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother shamefully approached Darth Vader. He turned around and glared down at them. He could feel their fear through the force and he enjoyed it.

"Don't worry," Vader said. "Due to the only piece of good news I've received today, I'll be a little generous to you two..."
"Thank you--" the two Inquisitors started.
"This next mission is for your redemption. The Empire has been meticulously planning this device for my specific needs. I just spoke with the engineer and the device is ready. I want you two to hunt that boy down and shoot him with this blaster. The engineer suspects only five bullets will do the trick before he loses sanity. After you shoot him five times, capture him, bring him to me again, and we will turn him."

The Inquisitors opened their mouths to thank Vader for the mission, but he stopped them.

"Don't say a word to me. Until you succeed, you will be banished from The Empire and from me. I can barely stand you two with me right now."--the two Inquisitors took deep breaths in disappointment--"You two better get the hell out of here before I change my mind."

And they did. But now their hearts burned hell fires and their incentives changed as well as their paths. They wanted this position more than ever now and the boy is the key to their success. They would make sure they would get the boy. Five bullets.

Five. Four. Three. Two. One.
