Nico's Pov

Ugh my head hurts. What happened? I sat up and looked around the room I was in. There was nothing interesting, just a plain room. I went up to the door and tried to open it, but it looked like it could only be open from the outside. The only time I wish Valdez was here. I turned around and noticed a person in the corner with his head down.

"Hey." I said. The boy looked up. He looked about my age with striking blue eyes and soft looking blue hair.

"Hi." The teen replied, "Who are you?"

"My names Nico Di Angelo."

"Nice to meet you Nico, my names Ezra Bridger."

Ezra got up and walked over to me. We were the same height which was good. I hate being shorter than people, but unfortunately I can't seem to grow.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"In a holding cell." Ezra replied.

I rolled my eyes. "No shist Sherlock."

Ezra laughed. "With the Empire."

"The Empire?"

"Yeah it's-" Ezra got cut off as the door swung open.

We stood back and looked at the door. Ezra looked at the figure in the doorway with a face that showed that he was beyond pissed.

A man stepped into the room. He had Red Tattoos, Gray Skin, wore a Black and Gray Suit and had yellow eyes. Ezra growled at him.

He smiled and chuckled at Ezra like this was normal. He then looked at me and walked forward. I stood my ground and glared at him. He flinched and stopped walking forward, but the smile still remained on his face.

"You know I thought that it would be harder to catch you, Son of Hades, but it was quite easy."

"Only because you kidnapped me when I was asleep!" I growled out.

"It's fair game." He replied.

"How is that fair game?! You-...!"

"Nico, don't." Ezra said. The Inquisitor just keep grinning.

"Let's just get out of here Ezra." I said and walked towards the door. The man laughed and pulled out some type of weapon. He turned it on and two red blades shot our from both sides of the circle.

"What is that? Better yet who are you?" I asked.

"I'm well known as the Inquisitor."

"The...Inquisitor?"

"Yes and I know all about you and your family......Nico Di Angelo......"

My eyes narrowed as I backed out of the room with Ezra, "You don't know anything so shut it!!"

Ezra looked down both ends of the hallway and said he saw no one there.

"Do you really think that it will be easy to escape here?" The Inquisitor asked.

"Well, yeah. It won't be my first time." Ezra said grinning and slammed the door shut, "We got to move. This door won't hold him and most likely there will be bucket heads surrounding us in a couple of minutes."

"Bucket Heads?" I asked.

"Storm Troopers." Ezra said.

"Um ok then why are we standing here? Lead the way Bridger!"

Ezra took off running down the hall with me behind him. Like Ezra had said these so called "Bucket Heads" surrounded us. Guess I see where the nickname came from. They were covering both sides of the hall and left us trapped in the middle. They started shooting at us so we ran into a room behind us.

"We're blocked." I said.

"There's another way, but let me grab something. Hold on."

I watched as Ezra climbed on top of some shelves and moved a few boxes.

"Where is it?" Ezra mumbled, "Ha! Found it! Here you go."

Ezra tossed me my sword and took his backpack and his weapons which he said was an energy slingshot and a lightsaber. Cool.

"Nice sword by the way." He said.

"Thanks. How did you know they were here?"

"They always 'hide' my weapons in the same place." Ezra said.

"Wow." I chuckled.

BANG BANG BANG

"We're coming in Rebel Scums!"

Ezra chuckled, "As if they'd catch us. Come on Nico."

Ezra ran to another corner and jumped onto a table.

"In here." Ezra hoisted himself up into the vent. He started crawling forward to give me room to enter the vent as well. I lifted myself up into the vent and together we both crawled away just as the door opened.

"Where did they go?" A heard one ask.

"I....don't know." Another said.

"Through the vent!" Another Storm Trooper pointed out.

"Tell the others. Come on let's split up." They left the room.

"That took them a while to figure out. Don't you always escape the same way?" I asked.

"Yup." Ezra replied with a grin. I chuckled and we both continued on our way.

"Alright let's get out here." Ezra said. There was only one Storm Trooper in the room and he was standing right under the vent.

"Move back." Ezra whispered. I crawled back and watched as Ezra sat up and slammed on the vent causing the door to fly down and hit the Storm Trooper in the head.

We both jumped down and landed right on his back.

"Sorry!" Ezra apologized.

"I'm not." I said as I followed Ezra out the room to an even bigger room.

"Now what?" I asked.

"I'm calling in my team." Ezra said, "They'll get us out of here."

"Ok now how fast can they do that?" I asked.

"Uh it'll take a few minutes, why?" Ezra said.

"We have the Inquisitor and a bunch of Storm Troopers coming our way." I replied pulling out my sword.

"OK OK cover me." Ezra said.

"You got it." I responded.

"Spectre 6 to Ghost. We need a lift." I heard Ezra say.

"Got it Spectre 6. We're on our way." A female voice replied back.

Ezra got out his lightsaber and we stood back to back.

"Ezra Bridger you're a real pain." The Inquisitor said walking forward, "Do you know that?"

"Yes, I do." Ezra replied grinning.

The Inquisitor scowled and thrusted his hand out. My sword flew from my grip somewhere behind me.

As confused as I was and as much as I wanted to run back for my sword, I didn't. I got into my fighting stance and got ready to summon the dead if I had too.

Then I thought, "Wait. Would the dead even be able to be summoned in space?! That might be a problem."

"Let's get this over with." The Inquisitor said as he spun his own lightsaber.

Ezra charged him. Sparks flew as their lightsabers clashed. The Storm Troopers began firing at me.

Honestly, I could've stood still where I was because there aim sucks, but I wasn't willing to take that chance. If even one managed to hit me, well let's just say I don't want to be shot again.

I ran behind some crates and looked around. My weapon was halfway across the room. I could either make a run for it or try to find something else to fight with.

Looking around all I found was a broom. I picked it up and held it in my hand.

"This is weak. It'll brake easily." I muttered.

I heard a Storm Trooper walk up behind me.

"Hold it Rebel! Don't move." He ordered. I smirked and turned around slowly.

"May I help you?" I asked innocently.

"Don't move." He said. I shrugged and stood still, "Hey Guys come he-...!"

CRACK

The Storm Trooper fell to the flood with a thud before he could call for his friends. The broom had broke on contact, but it somehow worked.

Three more ran over while two started shooting at me from behind some crates. I jumped and moved around. I ran up to one and jumped up. Spinning around I kicked him in the face. Once I landed I ran at the other. He swung at me, but I ducked. I grabbed his arm, twisted it behind his back and flipped him onto the floor. I kicked the other Storm Tropper in the chest with so much force he flew back and took out one of the shooters. With only one left I grabbed a lid off of one of the metal containers and threw it like a shield. I've honestly been watching too much Captain America in my free time. It hit him in the face and knocked him out.

After dealing with the Storm Troppers I didn't realize how close he had gotten to me. I only realized this when I was put in a choke hold with a red lightsaber just mere inches from my face. My hair fell over my eyes as I was pulled back.

"Any tricks, you die, Son of Hades." The Inquisitor whispered in my ear.

He lead me to the center of the room. Ezra was pinned to the floor by three Storm Troopers. The fourth one had his gun pointed at his head.

"Interfering in others business is what the boy does best. Always trying to be the hero, but he never is. He should know that he never will be the Hero he wants to be. He's pathetic." The Inquisitor said looking at Ezra and shaking his head.

"Shut up you ugly bastard." I snapped, "Anyone could be a hero if they wanted to be!"

"Tch, That's were you're wrong. You should know when to shut your mouth Nico. It's not like your much of a hero anyways. Always in your cousins and their teams shadows."

My mouth opened, but no words came out. I shut my mouth and watched Ezra struggle.

Suddenly there was a huge crash and the door in front of us blew up. A small ship landed and the door to the ship opened. Out came two people and a uh, I actually don't know what he is but he was big, purple, and angry.

The purple creature started shooting and knocked the Storm Troopers around Ezra out. Ezra stood up and somehow managed to somehow make his weapon magically fly back into his hand.

"Ezra let's go!" A man with a blue lightsaber said.

"Hold on Kanan! I have to help my friend." Ezra replied.

"Kid, we don't have time! Hera can't hold the TIE fighters off forever let's go!" A girl said.

The purple dude went over to Ezra and picked him up.

"We don't have time for this and I'm not going to be responsible for leaving him behind again!!" He said as Ezra struggled.

The three plus Ezra boarded the ship.

"Nico!! Come on!!" Ezra yelled.

The Inquisitor chuckled and tightened his grip on me. I gagged a bit and threw my head back. Bingo! Hit him right in the mouth. He let me go and I ran.

The doors were about to close.

"NICO!! COME ON COME ON! RUN FASTER!!!!" Ezra said. I tried. I was so close, but I didn't make it because all of a sudden my feet weren't touching the floor. How the Hades was I flying?!

I looked back at the Inquisitor. He had a sick smile on his face.

"The Force." He said, "Is a powerful thing."

"The...Force?!"

Ezra's eyes widened.

"KANAN!! DO SOMETHING!" He said.

"It's too late." Kanan said as the doors closed and the ship flew off.

The Inquisitor grasped my arm and pulled me back. I stared after the ship.

"Too late..." I growled out.

"You must be used to this by now, huh?" He asked as the ship flew away.

"Yeah no kidding. I've been left behind all my life." I replied.

"Well then why don't you join the Dark Side?" The Inquisitor asked.

"I don't understand any of this? Dark and Light yeah sure I get it. It separates the Hero's from the monsters, but what the Hades is the Force?"

"Ah, well. The Force is an energy field that is created by all living things. It surrounds us and binds this galaxy together."

"Uh-huh..." I said trying to process the information, "Cool...?"

The Inquisitor laughed and let my arm go, "Now let's get you back to your cell."

"Actually," I said, "I have an even better idea."

I swung my leg up and kicked the Inquisitor in the face. He fell to the floor with a Thud and I rubbed my leg.

"Ow. It's been a while since I did that." I ran over to my sword and sheathed it.

"Well played child." The Inquisitor grinned, "But you won't get away that easily."

"Believe it or not I will." I said, "Later creep!"

The Inquisitor was confused. He stood up and ran at me realizing what I meant.

"NO!" He roared.

I laughed as I dissapeared into the shadows. I imagined Ezra's face and the ship he was on. I stumbled out of the shadows moments later.

"AGGGHHH!" I heard someone yell. I looked up and saw that big purple dude from earlier.

"How did you get here?!" He asked. I just groaned. Closing my eyes I ignored him. I had to focus on not fading right now. My hands were fazing in and out.

He went to grab me, but his hand went right through me. I shivered. His eyes widened and he stepped back.

I could hear Will's voice now.

"WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT DOING UNDERWORLDY STUFF DI ANGELO?! Do you WANT to FADE?! Now you owe me three days in the infirmary and I don't want to hear any excuses!

I smiled. It was always the same thing. I opened my eyes and breathed a sigh of relief seeing as I didn't fade away.

"I'm taking you to Kanan and Hera." He said.

"Hera?" looked up at him and raised my eyebrow.

"Yeah. Come on kid." He said as he hauled me off the floor.

"Hey! Put me down!!!" I snapped. He ignored me and climbed the ladder. He walked into a room and set me down. It looked somewhat like a kitchen.

"Stay here." He ordered and walked out.

I was rolled my eyes and frowned, but listened anyways. I sat down on a chair and waited. Moments later the door opened again and there stood the blue eyed Rebel himself.
"Nico?" He asked, shocked.

"Hey Ezra." I said smiling slightly.

"How did you get here?!"

"Shadow travel."

"Shadow-what?"

The door opened again this time the purple dude came in with three more people and a robot. One I recognized as Kanan. I recognized the other girl with colorful hair, but I didn't know her name.

"So this is him?" Kanan asked.

"Yup."

"Let's introduce ourselves." The green woman said.

"I'm Kanan." Kanan said.

"Zeb."

"Sabine."

"I'm Hera and this is Chopper."

"Hi." I said, "I'm Nico."

"Hello Nico." Hera smiled, "Can I ask you a question."

"Sure...?" I said.

"How did you get onto my ship in the middle of Hyperspace?"

"Hyperspace?" I shook my head, "Forget it. I Shadow traveled."

"Shadow traveled?" Kanan said confused.

"I can basically travel through the shadows." I said simply.
"That's cool!" Ezra said, "Can you do anything else?!"

"Uh yeah, but I rather not say." I said. Ezra nodded his head in an understanding manner.

"So, kid, do you know who we are and what we do?" Sabine asked.

"No." I said ignoring the fact that she just called me a kid.

"We're Rebels." Kanan said, "We work against the Empire."
I nodded, "Ok. So you fight the Empire or...?"

"Only of we have to." Ezra said.

"Alright." I said.

"Nico do you have anywhere to go? Family wise?" Hera asked.

"I do have a family, but they're on...Earth." I said. I felt stupid saying that aloud for some odd reason.

"Alright." Hera said, "Next stop Earth."

Ezra grinned at me. I smiled back thankful that they didn't kick me off their ship and leave me to die in space.

"I'll be there soon Will. Don't worry." I said quietly.
